December's New TV Shows & Movies Lineup Is So Stacked
McKinley Franklin
A new month means a whole new set of television shows and movies for entertainment lovers to indulge in! As we make our way into the primetime of the holiday season, there's obviously going to be a few Christmas-inspired debuts coming our way for the month of December. It's the perfect time for you to snuggle up on the couch with your loved ones, consuming new and classic TV shows and movies. I'm always looking forward to watching new content on my at-home screen while shopping around for the perfect gifts for my family and friends come December. If you're in search of some new forms of entertainment to watch like me, then hold tight, you're definitely in the right place.
However, if you're getting a little sick of the oversaturated holiday marketplace, trust me: There's still an abundance of non-holiday themed TV shows and movies making their premiere this month. From crime TV series streaming on some of our favorite platforms to show stopping, heartfelt biopics hitting the theaters, there's something fresh and engaging for everyone to watch heading into this December. Let's take a look at the new and hottest TV shows and movies coming out during the month of December 2022.
Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (Dec. 2)
An adaptation of Charles Dickens' iconic story A Christmas Carol, Netflix is refurbishing the story with an animated twist this holiday season. The movie will follow Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly man who just really hates Christmas, as he's visited from the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future to help him realign his life.
Too Hot To Handle Season 4 (Dec. 7)
Another reality television dating show is hitting Netflix, and I think that everyone remembers when this one first debuted. Too Hot To Handle first debuted in 2020, and the series aims to bring together a group of singles from around the world… with a mission to stay celibate for their time on the show. If they accomplish this mission, they have a chance at winning $100,000.
The Recruit Season 1 (Dec. 16)
If you're into spy shows, you're going to want to keep an eye out for The Recruit. The new Netflix series stars Noah Centineo (you know, from To All the Boys I've Loved Before) as a young lawyer, aka Owen Hendricks. When he's hired by the CIA, Hendricks has to do everything in his power to keep the secrecy of the agency.
Emily in Paris Season 3 (Dec. 21)
Lily Collins is back to star as Emily in the third season of Emily in Paris. The show follows the fictional life of, well, Emily, who is an American woman heading out to take on her dream job in Paris, France. She also navigates dating in Paris, and in Season 3, she's going to be met with a few tough decisions. After Season 2, Emily had to decide between moving back to Chicago where her old job was, or sticking it out in Paris to create her own marketing business.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (Dec. 23)
If you've been keeping up with this film, you'll know that it's the sequel to Rian Jonhson's Knives Out. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery actually debuted in theaters during November, but is making its way to Netflix on Dec. 23 for all crime junkies.
Gossip Girl Season 2 (Dec. 1)
Get ready, Upper East Siders: The second season of the Gossip Girl reboot is premiering on Dec. 1. The drama is set to be juicier than ever, but many OG fans are really excited to see a familiar face make a reappearance during the upcoming season. Georgina Sparks, played by Michelle Trachtenberg, is set to be featured in Season 2 of the HBO Max show! After Georgina's son, Milo, was a part of the reboot's first season, many viewers were interested to see if she would potentially show up in the show in the future. Alas, their wishes were granted, and I'll be looking forward to watching Georgina's villainous return to Gossip Girl.
Lizzo: Live in Concert (Dec. 31)
If you couldn't get enough of Lizzo's debut documentary, Love, Lizzo, then you'll be happy to know that we're getting more docu-style content from the mega-artist. The doc will showcase Lizzo's performance during "The Special Tour," when she performed in Inglewood, California and had a few special guests join her. Cardi B, SZA, and Missy Elliott were all in attendance at the concert, so we'll be able to catch a glimpse of them during Lizzo: Live in Concert.
Darby and the Dead (Dec. 2)
Darby and the Dead is a new movie that follows the story of Darby, a high school girl who can actually see ghosts. When head cheerleader Capri suddenly dies, she comes back to haunt Darby, insisting that she gets her help to throw her final "Sweet 17" party. In exchange for Darby's assistance, Capri vows to turn her "popular" and make everyone in their school fall in love with her.
Back in the Groove Season 1 (Dec. 5)
This new reality TV dating show has a wild concept, but it's one that I'm interested in seeing. Back in the Groove follows the stories of three single women, who all happen to be in their 40s. Throughout the dating show, we'll be able to watch as they date many men, who are half their age. As they always say, "Age is just a number," so I guess we'll be able to watch that play out in full effect during Season 1 of Back in the Groove.
Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (Dec. 2)
For those of us Gen Zers who binge-read all of the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid books, this new movie hitting Disney+ is going to take us back to our childhood. Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules is a brand new animated movie that follows the storyline of Jeff Kinney's novel of the same name. Though there are live action movie reiterations of the books, this new animated version replicates the original drawn out, cartoon characters from the OG Diary Of A Wimpy Kid book series.
Avatar: The Way of Water (Dec. 16)
After 13 years of waiting, we're finally getting Avatar 2! Well, it's actually called Avatar: The Way of Water. The second movie will highlight the lives of Jake and Neytiri Sully with their children as they leave their original home and move around on their planet, Pandora. They embark on new and different adventures, in addition to battles that they face from the brunt of humans.
I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Dec. 23)
I Wanna Dance with Somebody is a highly anticipated biopic that will showcase the life of the one and only Whitney Houston. Renowned as one of the most iconic artists in American history, the upcoming film promises to introduce audiences to "discover the Whitney Houston you never knew." I'm pretty sure all eyes will be on this movie when it drops, as it takes a lot to live up to and to properly honor the life and legacy of Houston.
McKinley Franklin is a writer, student, and Leo in love with all things pop culture. When she's not writing for Her Campus, you can catch her reading, cooking, or catching up on her latest reality TV obsession.

The world has been built from concrete, making it the most widely used building material, for centuries. Even today, roman cement is being studied and researched because of its tremendous ability to withstand time.
bonded together by a cement and water, but there's a huge amount of chemistry involved in finding exactly the right combination of ingredients. The most common form of cement is known as Portland Cement. Limestone and clay are the leading raw materials utilized in the production of cement and quarrying of these has started to become the source of environmental degradation. Previous research has shown that in the coming years limestone will difficult to source for cement manufacturing. In addition, the production of a single ton of cement emits around one ton of carbon dioxide. To compound the problem of Portland Cement, the disposal of this product is expensive, toxic and is taking up valuable space in municipal landfills. All these issues combined with a carbon tax will make this product much more expensive.
This article will explore several known solutions, trends and benefits.
The term 'precast' means a product manufactured by casting concrete into reusable molds or forms inside a manufacturing plant off-site. This is in contrast to site-specific forms where the concrete must cure in place before other construction phases can proceed. For architectural ornaments, precast products can be created from custom "one off" as well as stock molds.
The benefit of precast concrete is that the manufacturing location is fixed, lending the process to automation. In the near future the majority of workers will be replaced by robots. It is estimated by a recent PWC report that 38% of all US workers will be replaced within 15 years or by 2032. The highest at risk jobs are in financial services at 61%. Trebuchet predicts, that with the introduction of automation and 3D printing the current "bar" of unskilled craftsmen will be eliminated and to stay competitive, developers will rely on more sophisticated and complicated designs to attract buyers and tenants.
Vollert is a German company that has been on the forefront of precast factory automation, and in the coming years automation will become even more prevalent as initial factory equipment costs trend downward.
Precast also dovetails with pre-fab structures, providing opportunities in student housing, low cost housing and barriers. This could even mean a return on more superfluous and pretty structures in the neo-classical or Beaux Arts style of architecture.
Unlike Portland cement, geopolymer concrete that uses Pozzolans from Coal fly ash also called pulverized fuel ash or PFA. That coal ash is a by-product of burring coal for energy. The majority of this ash is landfilled because cement companies didn't want the material. Toxic, short usable life Portland cement is popular because is cheap to produce, meets RFP lowest bidder municipal contacts and can be poured on site. Unsophisticated buyers place no objections to low quality Portland cement. And cement manufacturers work tirelessly to make the lowest possible quality product at the highest possible price the buyer is willing to pay.
The Carbon tax burden and the lime shortage may be a game changer.
Insider fact: The easier concrete is to pour, the weaker it will be when cured because of the excessive water content.
What this means for building and architecture is we are entering in a new gilded age. Citizens in cities no longer have to put up with cookie cutter bland disposable architecture.
Developers can use precast cement company's technology and automation combined with 3D printing to make spectacularly detailed molds to form precast friezes and architectural elements such as, window sills, stair treads, lintels and copings and color it to look exactly like stone.
And they can do it cheaper, faster, with better working conditions to make a product that is more durable, lasts longer in cold weather and is safer to demolish when that time comes.
Investors in private equity real estate should insist that these funds build with these kinds of materials. As investors and developers, we want to build pretty buildings, and contribute architectural significance to cities we choose to invest in. By doing so, we believe this constitutes sustainability fund guidelines crafted by plan sponsors.
Let's bring back pretty together!

Welcome to keepit7.wordpress.com! This site is not for profit, but for the education and edification of those who will accept truth.
I am just a student of Yahuwah's Torah like you. This site is part of my effort to reach you with the information I have found.
I don't share your information. Period. But wordpress might. I don't do cookies or phishing or tracking or anything. But Google does.
Yahushah has called us to follow Him. We, as believers have agreed. We will follow. Where is Yahusha going?
This is an age of advancement- in technology, in knowledge, in awareness. Yet there is also regression- in community, in transparency, understanding, and morality.
The powers of this earth war and threaten each other in open and secret wars. The people watch earnestly to find out what is going on, while others have given up and are just trying to live their lives with their heads in the sand.
Yah reaches out to us all, showing us how to follow His path- and invites us to war for Him.
Where is Yahushah going? To war.
We are called to be spiritual warriors, putting on the whole armor of Yah.
Scripture makes it clear; we have but one enemy, who is that old serpent, the devil.
His followers are just misguided children of the almighty, as we once were, and sometimes still are.
Yah invites us on a campaign for truth and love. The battlefields are diverse, from the supermarket to the road, from the courts of kings to the ever raging battle for our own hearts and minds. Sometimes we must go on the offensive, rooting out the lies, and freeing those held captive by them with the sword of the spirit, but mostly we are in a defensive mode, resisting the flaming arrows of the evil one with the shield of faith, which is able to quench them, and stopping blows with the helmet of salvation, and the breastplate of righteousness. The belt of truth holds it all together, and the shoes of the good news, of peace, speed our journey and crush the thorns that would hold others back.

Things I learned from Rick Bayless
Beer, Mexican, Neighborhoods, Tours
Disclosure: I was compensated by Negra Modelo to attend this event, post about it on social channels, and write this blog post.
I'm not going to mince words about it: Sometimes being a food blogger has pretty awesome perks. Like when your go-to Mexican beer approaches you with an opportunity to take a culinary tour of the Mission District with Rick Bayless, and pay you for the privilege. Twist my arm.
We kicked our tour off at a well-known "Mexicatessen" on 24th street, a place I know well thanks to my affiliation with Edible Excursions. (Note: Due to some regulations, I cannot name the places we went to. I know, weird.) This place receives enormous amounts of dry corn on a roughly biweekly basis, which they grind and mix with water and lime (calcium hydroxide, not the fruit) in a process called mixtamalization. This unlocks the bioavailability of nutrients in the corn. They then use this mixture, called masa mixtamalisada, to make fresh tortillas, huaraches, sopes and other delicacies — all by hand. This is my go-to spot to buy fresh corn tortillas, crema salvadoreia, and fabulous salsas.
(Sidebar: Come take our tours in San Francisco, Oakland or Berkeley! If you book a private tour for a group of 8 or more, you get a free tour for two for yourself. I'm just one of a whole fleet of awesome guides with Edible Excursions.)
Piping-hot huarache stuffed with cheese and herbs, topped with grilled flank steak and cabbage? Don't mind if I do. (Washed down with Negra Modelo, of course.)
Speaking of flank steak, our next stop was a nearby meat market, family-owned for more than 40 years. The second-generation owner, Salvador Vazquez, explained that until the '70s, the beef commonly used for carne asada was not widely available in America outside Latino markets. In the mass market, it was usually thrown in with other less desirable cuts for ground beef, but in Mexico, it's treasured for its intensely beefy flavor. A friend observed Vazquez carving out the section of the cow containing a few cuts of thin, flat steaks for use.
He asked Vazquez what these cuts were called, and for lack of a good translation called it "flap meat." The friend asked him to show a colleague, who turned out to be a rep with IBP, and before long flap steak became available as a grocery store cut across the country. What was once considered all but a disposable cut is now marketed as flank and skirt steak, and for a premium price at that.
The Eatsdropper, Whole Foods Edition
Beer, Eatsdropper
I recently was invited to check out the new Steep Brew Taproom at Whole Foods SoMa as a guest. It's the second taproom in a Whole Foods in the city, probably the last. (The other is in the Potrero Hill location.)…
Local lager love
Beer, NaBloPoMo
dpaul and I see eye to eye on many things, but beer is not one of them. He prefers very light lagers and pilsners. Most of these I find at best uninteresting and at worst, in the case of Stella…
Drink me: Pliny the Elder
American, Beer, Beverages, Eat me/Drink me, Sonoma County
Despite my name, I am comprised of at best 1/16 Irish blood, perhaps significantly less than that, but that doesn't deter me from enjoying the holiday. If you're planning to partake this St. Paddy's Day, please do not debase yourself with weak beer tainted with green food coloring. You'll respect yourself more in the morning if you opt for a lovely Guinness. Or, if like me you live in the Bay Area and want to go a bit more local, quaff a pint of my new favorite beer, Russian River Brewing Company's Pliny the Elder.
Like a lot of Northern California microbrews, Pliny is heady and hoppy; but unlike too many other hop-headed beers that offer nothing beyond one-noted bitterness or, worse, a metallic tinge, Pliny is rich and complex. Sure, it's hoppy, but it's layered with bright, refreshing notes of citrus, delicate sweetness of orange flower blossoms and elderflowers, and a healthy waft of the evening breeze in Humboldt County. Or so I'm told. At any rate, it's balanced and utterly drinkable.
My friend Julie has been waxing rhapsodic about this beer for a while now, but I only recently had the pleasure of partaking at a recent installment of Book Club at Toronado. Suffice to say, it was love at first sip.
As for the name? While Pliny is best known for having witnessed, and died during, the eruption at Vesuvius, Pliny wrote a significant work titled simply, Naturalis Historiae (Natural History), an encyclopedia cataloging a mangificent array of understanding of the natural world. Among his achievements in his work as a natural scientist was to give hops its botanical name, or so sayeth the brewers themselves. And this beer's hoppy application is as fitting a tribute as any.
Mi/chelada
Beer, Cocktails, Recipes
Seems the drink du jour in the media these days is the michelada. Aside from the beauty shot in this month's GQ, there's equally mouthwatering references on pretty much all my favorite boozy blogs:
MattBites finds it the only way to enjoy his cerveza;
Sloshed! sampled three different beers just to be thorough;
The Spirit World eyes a couple alternative preparations;
Anita at Married …with Dinner delved into its history last Turkey Day; and
Camper was way ahead of the curve, calling this drink's rising star fully two years ago, and is now on a campaign to bring it back as a brunch favorite.
The timing was good. With an upcoming visit to the in-laws in Kentucky (where we are now) this struck me as the perfect beverage to ply on less-than-experimental palates. With an ingredient list of un-scary and familiar ingredients — Mexican beer, lime, Worcestershire and Tabasco, basically — it promised nothing less than refreshing goodness for the inevitable hot, muggy days.
Alas, my cool micheladas were met with a tepid response. No one — including DPaul — liked the flavor the Worcestershire sauce imparted. To which I say, ¡más micheladas para mí! Personally, I thought the balance of sour-salty-hot was perfectly delicious, and certainly slapped a hearty coat of red lipstick on the Corona pig. It's a quaffable, refreshing brew that I could happily kick back more than a couple of on a sultry afternoon. Still, I will admit it pays to have a light hand with the Worcestershire.
I look forward to trying this again with Negro Modelo, my preferred Mexican beer. I would have used it this time, but our options out here in the wilds of Kentucky are … limited. And for DPaul, I'll just pull back on the Worcestershire and Tabasco for the classic chelada. (Actually, he rather liked the Tabasco. So does that make it a semichelada?)
Mmmm … beer
Beer, Events
Bit of a bummer, but I didn't know until today that February is Strong Beer Month here in good ol' Ess Eff. Brew pubs and bars around the city are showcasing their heaviest, strongest beers, such as barleywines and imperial…


Medal contender Katherine Hopson will certainly have her sights set on gold at the Olympic Games in Athens this August - thanks to her local optician.
Medal contender Katherine Hopson will ceertainly have her sights set on gold at the Olympic Games in Athens this August – thanks to her local optician. Leightons Opticians in Eastleigh has recently become one of the first practices in the country to be accredited as a specialist Sports Vision Centre. They've teamed up with Southampton-based contact lens manufacturer CIBA Vision to ensure that Katherine and the rest of Team GBR's Olympic sailing squad are ready for action at Athens.
Katherine and her sailing partner, Christina Bassadone, are the UK's number one ranked females in the 470 class.
Research has shown that athletes of all kinds can improve their performance by up to 25 per cent by wearing contact lenses, so CIBA Vision is offering all British Olympic hopefuls free lenses as part of a sponsorship package.

Essay Service Examples Literature The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas
Literary Devices And Symbolism In Depicting Main Theme In The Book The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas
Topics: The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas
Recurrently, ideals comprise a further connotation apart from the word arrangement on the paper, the symbols so graciously called letters constitute the smallest portion of the main theme. A wordsmith is entirely capable under approximate circumstances to tell a short story with scarcely any indirect utterances that substantiates the theme. Words do not perpetually comprise the theme; under certain circumstances a writer will use literary devices and methods to present the theme. For instance, In 'The ones who walk away from omelas' the audience has to comprehend the symbolism, word choice, and plot to comprehend the theme. "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" postulates that happiness cannot exist without pain resulting from suffrage. In the fantasy town with a idealized content, LeGuin persistently declares that a single individual uncircumstantial has to endure extensive abuse in exchange for others contentment
The theme could not be perceived in the story without the symbol of the sole neglected individual that represents self conceit and iniquity. Iniquity by the means of believing that it is alright to abuse an individual and remove contact from society for everyone's happiness to blossom. If this child was"cleaned and fed and comforted. . .in that day and hour all the prosperity and beauty and delight of Omelas would wither and be destroyed" (Le Guin, 601). Those who do not walk away have placed themselves above the life of another. These self conceited individuals believe their content is more significant then that of one child, because "To exchange all the goodness and grace of every life in Omelas for that single, small improvement: to throw away the happiness of thousands for the chance of the happiness of one: that would be to let guilt within the walls indeed" (le guin, 601). Yet, the ones who walk away from Omelas stand for the fight against self conceit and iniquity.
Word choice is a significant contributor to the foundation of the theme. The author uses imagery and adjectives like "decorous" or "bright" to enhance the perception and give dimension to the theme. The name Omelas was carefully chosen because of its mythical sound when spoken. However, most importantly is the point of view which is particularly third person because it creates the opportunity to further influence the audience. That is by virtue of all things being acknowledged, the audience is able to significantly comprehend the contentment of the Omelas while perceiving the immolate of the individual.
In contrast to the importance of symbolism and word choice to the foundation of the theme, the plot creates the theme. Without a plot there is no story or theme. The plot actuates the characters to influence the story, and chronologically associates the events. Not to mention it, creates the audience's urge to continue reading by catching their attention. If the readers never finished the story they would not clearly comprehend the theme. In "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas", the narrator starts the story with the introduction of the citizens assembling at the festival. Then leads into the rising action with the suffrage of one individual for the content of the town. Many individuals see the suffrage, some becoming hysterically disturbed. Tho, as the audience reaches the climax it becomes clear that those hysterically devisatated eventually come to terms of acceptance that the individual must endure the suffrage for Omelas' prosperity. Yet, the falling action shows that not everyone, "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas", was accepting of the uniquity.
The theme is not perceived by the arrangement of letters but by the use of literary devices and methods. The audience has to comprehend the symbolism, word choice, and plot to comprehend the theme. The plot creates the opportunity for the theme to develop while symbolism and word choice lay the foundation for the theme.

Despite the increase in electronic payment options, cash still has a place in present-day finances, and the most convenient option available might be an ATM that charges you fees.
But the fees are not inevitable. Here are four ways to avoid them.
» More: Best banks with no ATM fees
1. See if cards or digital wallets are accepted
If you are going to a restaurant, merchant or government office, call ahead or check its website to see what forms of payment the business accepts. For events such as county fairs or concerts, you generally can find out ahead of time whether credit cards or digital wallets such as Apple Pay and Android Pay are accepted, in which case you can avoid using cash altogether.
If you're trying to send money to a friend or family member, you can consider using a peer-to-peer payment app such as Venmo or Cash App to avoid cash as well.
»More: Top peer-to-peer payment apps
2. Find an ATM in your bank's network
When cash is the only option, use your phone to see how close you are to an ATM in your bank's network. Most banks and credit unions offer a free ATM network, whether it's their own brand or a shared network such as Allpoint, MoneyPass or Co-op. You can generally find the in-network ATM closest to you by using an ATM locator on your financial institution's mobile app or through a web search.
3. Get cash back at a store checkout counter
If you aren't near one of your bank's ATMs, look for a grocery store, gas station or big retailer. Many of these offer no-fee cash back as a part of your purchase when you use a debit card or prepaid debit card at checkout. When you're asked "debit or credit," select "debit" to get cash back. You'll also need to enter your four-digit personal identification number (PIN). This cash-back option generally is not available with credit cards.
4. Choose a bank or credit union that reimburses ATM fees or has a larger network
If your ATM fees combined with other fees your bank charges are hurting your wallet, it might be time to consider a new bank. Some online banks and community financial institutions refund ATM fees — either an unlimited amount or up to a total of $10 to $25 per month. Try out this checking account comparison tool and filter by out-of-network ATM fees to see which banks offer such refunds.
Alternatively, you may need a bank or credit union with more ATMs, especially in your area. If you travel frequently, consider banks that don't have foreign ATM or debit card transaction fees.
"Paying ATM fees is an avoidable waste of money," says Carrie Houchins-Witt, certified financial planner and owner of a financial services firm at Carrie Houchins-Witt Tax & Financial Services in Coralville, Iowa. "Better to keep your hard-earned money than give it to the bank."

Do you maximize/minimize to your detriment?
Top of the mornin' to ya, this is Brian at LifeChampion.coach and I'm doing something a little different today. I actually tried to start this as a Facebook live, but the connection in my neighborhood isn't quite strong enough to keep up with that. So we're going to give it a "take two" and just do the regular video as we look at the thought for the week. The thought for the week is a maximizing. That's not the exact term I'm looking for. There's a counseling term that they have for it. Maximizing is looking at situations and using terms to describe them such as everyone, everything, no one, nothing so saying and including that everyone is against me, everyone is for me. No one can do that. Um, and another word related to that is catastrophizing — looking at a situation, looking at a circumstance and making it out to be the worst it could be.
Like when we have the wrong kind of dinner, our kids come into the kitchen. It's always seems to be a different one. Each time is like, Oh, you made this dinner to destroy me. You're against me. You picked this food because I don't like it. Ah, No, it has nothing to do with you. We picked it because somebody likes it and we need to eat different variety of foods so that we can stay healthy. So catastrophizing or maximizing is a easy thing to get wrapped up in. Um, I know. Finding a job. No, there's no jobs available. Yes, there are. They're all over the place. Um, no, I can't find a job in the field that I want to have a job in. Ahh, yes you can. You might not be able to start at the salary you want or the role you want. But uh, everything's possible.
Um, few years or last year, I think it was, I wrote a post that you might want to go look up, um, on the biggest liar because when we do these maximizing things, these catastrophic lies that we tell ourselves. We believe us. We believe us more than we believe a lot of other folks. So being able to question yourself question–especially when it's a maximize: "all", "every", "no", "none"–Think about those kinds of things when you're telling yourself one of those kinds of things, there's probably some sort of lie wrapped in that. You're maximizing to biggest or to the smallest. There's none available or there's so much that there's no other options. Everything's blocked out because of everything else. So the blog posts that I wrote about who's the biggest liar that we believe or something like that because one, we tell ourselves lies everyday and until we can get to a point where we question ourselves in our lies and we can't break those barriers down, we can't get through that.
So listen to yourself talk, listen to what's going on in your head. No, I'm not saying you're crazy. I might be a little crazy, but listen to yourself talk and evaluate how much of that self-talk has "all" or "none". Big words that include everything with no exceptions or small words that exclude everything, with no exceptions and question those. That's a good place to start because I'll say it, "All of those are lies"–they aren't. Most of them are lies. A lot of them are lies, but until we start questioning those and the truth held in them, we can't differentiate the lies from the truth and some of those are true, but most of them that slow us down or hinder our progress are not an "all" they might be a "most", they might be a "half", they might be a "some", but don't let maximizing or catastrophising invade your life. Live your life, find truth, seek truth, and you'll be a happier person. This is Brian, top of the mornin' to ya. Be Blessed.

Should I avoid carbs completely?
Research says carb shakes are bad for you. Should you miss out this macro?
By Christian Finn
Here's news that will stop you reaching for a high-carb recovery shake: researchers at the University of Alabama found the glucose from these drinks decreases your levels of atrial natriuretic peptide, the hormone that reduces blood pressure and gets rid of excess salt by up to 25%. The solution: opt for a simple DIY recovery shake to blitz post-gym soreness.
And although we've put out that carb-filled fire, the door's still open to an important question: are all carbs bad for you? After all, hundreds of diet plans are happy to tell you cutting carbs out of your life completely is the fastest way to get rid of fat. That's because if you open up a nutrition textbook, you'll read about essential fatty acids, essential amino acids and essential micronutrients. But you won't find anything about essential carbohydrates.
As long as you're supplying it with essential fats, essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals and water, your body will keep working. That's because it can't make this stuff by itself. But your body can make glucose – which is what carbohydrate is made up of – from protein. So it doesn't need to be provided by your diet.
But the fact that it's possible to live off fat and protein doesn't mean that it's a good idea to do so. There's a big difference between the type of diet you can survive on, and the type of diet you will thrive on. Rather than take a "one size fits all" approach to nutrition, it's far better to adjust your carbohydrate intake based on how active you are, as well as the type of activity you're doing.
If you're obese and want to lose weight without tracking macros, weighing every meal or hitting the gym, restricting carbs has a number of benefits. Firstly, low-carb diets tend to be protein rich. It's the most satiating nutrient, killing appetite far faster then either carbohydrate or fat.
Some people also find that certain carbohydrate-rich foods trigger cravings and the start of a junk food binge that can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days; allow yourself one packet of crisps and suddenly you find yourself the wrong side of two tubes of Pringles. Avoiding these trigger foods can make it a lot easier to stick to a healthy diet.
Put simply, shifting to a low-carbohydrate diet helps a lot of people lose weight simply because they eat fewer calories.
Ketogenic dieting
But even then, cutting back on carbs doesn't mean that you need to swear off them completely. Provided it puts you in an energy deficit, a ketogenic diet – one high in fat and protein, but with barely any carbs – works just fine for fat loss. But it's no better than a diet where you get 30-40% of your total calories from carbs.
Researchers from Arizona State University compared two different diets over a 6-week period. One was ketogenic; less than 10% of the total calories came from carbohydrate. The second diet was higher in carbohydrate (40% of total calories) and lower in fat (30% of total calories). Protein intake was almost identical in both groups.
Subjects in both groups lost fat. But there was no significant difference in the amount of fat lost. Food for thought if you're considering the irritability and fatigue that comes with the first week of a complete carb cleanse.
Gym fuel
When setting up your diet, you also need to factor in the type and amount of training you do, as carbohydrate plays an important part in both the preparation for and recovery from intense exercise.
Even Dr Jeff Volek, a former Indiana state champion in powerlifting and one of America's leading low-carb diet and research experts, accepts that a ketogenic diet can have an adverse effect on your performance in the gym. "If you are trying to gain weight, my experience is that it is very difficult to prevent weight loss, let alone gain weight, on a strict ketogenic diet," he says.
If your main goal is to lose fat, then cutting back on your carbohydrate intake is a step in the right direction. But there's no reason to avoid it completely. Like a good suit, your carbohydrate intake should be tailored in such a way that it's the right fit for you.

Q: showing $\frac{1}{(A+B)^{a}}=\frac{1}{\Gamma(a)} \frac{1}{2\pi i} \int_{-i\infty}^{+i \infty} dz \frac{B^z}{A^{a+z}} \Gamma(-z) \Gamma(a+z)$ I want to prove
\begin{align}
\frac{1}{(A+B)^{a}} = \frac{1}{\Gamma(a)} \frac{1}{2\pi i} \int_{-i\infty}^{+i \infty} dz \frac{B^z}{A^{a+z}} \Gamma(-z) \Gamma(a+z)
\end{align}
Starting from the integral representation of gamma function, still, the two products of gamma functions produce only $\frac{B}{A}$ form, not $A+B$.
I want to know the derivation of the above equation with an explicit process.  (I found one, and understand the process by @Gary, If you know any other proofs, please give me another ways to showing this!)

After some searching this integral is called the "Mellin-Barnes identity" and its generalization is given by
\begin{align}
\frac{1}{(A_1+ \cdots + A_n)^{\lambda}}
= \frac{1}{\Gamma(\lambda)} \frac{1}{(2\pi i)^{n-1}} \int_{-i \infty}^{+i \infty} dz_1 \cdots dz_{n-1} \prod_{i=1}^{n-1} A_{i}^{z_i} A_{n}^{-\lambda - z_1 - \cdots - z_{n-1}} \prod_{i=1}^{n-1} \Gamma(-z_i) \Gamma(\lambda + z_1 + \cdots + z_{n-1})
\end{align}

A: There might be many proofs: One short version is the usage of Mellin transformation.
From the inversion formula,
\begin{align}
\frac{1}{(1+x)^t} = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \int_{c-i\infty}^{c+i\infty} x^{-s} B(s,t-s)ds
= \frac{1}{2\pi i} \frac{1}{\Gamma(t)} \int_{c-i\infty}^{c+i\infty} x^{-s} \Gamma(s) \Gamma(t-s) ds, \quad 0<c<\operatorname{Re}[t].

Hyssop 1kg Seeds (Hyssopus...
Net weight - 1 kg (270)

Hyssop 1kg Seeds (Hyssopus officinalis)

Price for Package of 1.000.000 (1kg) seeds.

Hyssopus officinalis or hyssop is a(n) herbaceous plant of the genus Hyssopus native to Southern Europe, the Middle East, and the region surrounding the Caspian Sea. Due to its properties as an antiseptic, cough reliever, and expectorant, it is commonly used as a medicinal plant.

Characteristics

Hyssop is a brightly coloured shrub or subshrub that ranges from 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in) in height. The stem is woody at the base, from which grow a number of straight branches. Its leaves are lanceolate, dark green in colour, and from 2 to 2.5 cm (0.79 to 0.98 in) long.

During the summer, the plant produces bunches of pink, blue, or, more rarely, white fragrant flowers. These give rise to small oblong achenes.

History

A plant called hyssop has been in use since classical antiquity. Its name is a direct adaptation from the Greek ὕσσωπος (hyssopos). The Hebrew word אזוב (ezov, esov, or esob) and the Greek word ὕσσωπος probably share a common (but unknown) origin.[4] The name hyssop appears as a translation of ezov in some translations of the Bible, notably in verse 7 of Psalm 51: "Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean" (King James Bible), but researchers have suggested that the Biblical accounts refer not to the plant currently known as hyssop but rather to one of a number of different herbs, including Origanum syriacum (Syrian oregano, commonly referred to as "bible hyssop").[5][6][7] I Kings iv. 33 mentions that 'ezov' was a small plant. It was burned with the Red Heifer (Num. xix. 6) and used for purification of lepers (Lev. xiv. 4, 6, 49, 51; comp. Num. xix. 18; Ps. li. 9), and at Passover it was used to sprinkle the blood of the sacrificial lamb on the doorposts(Ex. xii. 22).

Hyssop was also used for purgation (religious purification) in Egypt, where, according to Chaeremon the Stoic, the priests used to eat it with bread in order to purify this type of food and make it suitable for their austere diet.

Cultivation

The species as a whole is resistant to drought, and tolerant of chalky, sandy soils. It thrives in full sun and warm climates.

Cultivars include 'Blue Flower'.

Harvest

Under optimal weather conditions, herb hyssop is harvested twice yearly, once at the end of spring and once more at the beginning of the fall. The plants are preferably harvested when flowering in order to collect the flowering tips.

Once the stalks are cut, they are collected and dried either stacked on pallets to allow for draining or hung to dry. The actual drying process takes place in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, where the materials are mixed several times to ensure even drying. Drying herbs are kept from exposure to the sun to prevent discoloration and oxidation. The drying process takes approximately six days in its entirety. Once dried, the leaves are removed and both components, leaves and flowers, are chopped finely. The final dried product weighs a third of the initial fresh weight and can be stored for up to 18 months.

Essential oil

The essential oil includes the chemicals thujone and phenol, which give it antiseptic properties.

Its high concentrations of thujone and chemicals that stimulate the central nervous system, including pinocamphone and cineole, can provoke epileptic reactions. The oil of hyssop can cause seizures and even low doses (2–3 drops) can cause convulsions in children.

Uses

The fresh herb is commonly used in cooking. Essence of hyssop can be obtained by steaming and is used in cooking to a lesser extent.

The plant is commonly used by beekeepers to produce rich and aromatic honey.

Herb hyssop leaves are used as an aromatic condiment. The leaves have a slightly bitter taste due to its tannins, and an intense minty aroma. Due to its intensity, it is used moderately in cooking. The herb is also used to flavor liqueur and is part of the official formulation of Chartreuse.

Herbal medicine

In herbal medicine, hyssop is believed to have soothing, expectorant, and cough suppressant properties. Hyssop can stimulate the gastrointestinal system.

Perfect Passionfruit Seeds...

Perfect Passionfruit Seeds (Passiflora popenovii)

Price for Package of 3 seeds.

The rare Passiflora popenovii gives probably the most delicious fruit of all Passiflora species. The transparent and very juicy flesh inside the soft shell of the bright yellow fruit is extremely sweet and has an exceptional, exotic, and fragrant taste.

It originates from the rainforests of Colombia and Ecuador between 500 and 1900 m (1600 and 6200 feet) but is believed to have become extinct in the wild and to be grown only locally. It will easily adapt to growing in a wide range of climatic conditions.

We think that Perfect Passionfruit has the potential to become far more popular than Passiflora edulis or Passiflora ligularis, which are common in fruit markets around the world.

Bornean Hairy Banana Seeds...

Bornean Hairy Banana Seeds (Musa hirta)

Price for Package of 3 seeds.

A little-known banana only about 2.5 m (8 feet) high that forms attractive clumps. The erect inflorescence with hairy stems creates a pointed bud with shiny, purple-pink leaves, followed by small, chunky, golden-hairy fruits.

The fruit, as with only a few other types of bananas, is removed when fully ripe, which means that the peel itself splits and reveals the pulp of the fruit from the inside.

Unlike most bananas, it is more sweet and juicy. Ripe fruit tastes like a mixture of kiwi and banana and the seeds are eaten together with the fruit.

Unripe fruits are peeled and eaten with salt. The flowers are used as vegetables, cooked and seasoned with salt and spices.

This species has ornamental and fruity qualities that should be seriously considered for cultivation.

Small Red Cocona Seeds...

Small Red Cocona Seeds (Solanum sessiliflorum)

Price for Package of 5 seeds.

A cultivar of Solanum sessiliflorum with tasty, small, brownish red fruits that is popular in the Amazon lowlands of Colombia and Peru for juicing and sauces.

Solanum sessiliflorum, the cocona, is a tropical shrub of the family Solanaceae. The cocona plant has sturdy branches and huge, serrate and hairy leaves. Cocona closely resembles a number of close relatives, including naranjilla and pseudolulo. It can be distinguished from those plants by its lack of spines. It will hybridize with those and other close relatives. Cocona also lacks the characteristic purple coloring usually seen in the naranjilla. Its flowers resemble large potato flowers, with light green petals. Cocona is harvested in parts of South America around the Amazon rainforest such as Purús Province in eastern Peru.

The fruit of cocona is a red, orange, or yellow edible berry. Cocona is native to the Andean region of South America, where it is occasionally cultivated for human consumption.

Cocona can also be grown as an indoor ornamental plant in temperate climates, but it seems to be quite sensitive to spider mites, so care should be taken not to keep it in too dry air during winter. Like the naranjilla, coconas are highly sensitive to aphids and nematodes. As subtropical plants, they can endure cool weather but will be killed or severely damaged by frost. During summer, it can be grown outside or in a cold greenhouse. When grown from seed, coconas can bear fruit in as little as 9 months, or as long as 24.

Solanum georgicum and Solanum hyporhodium were (and sometimes still are) included in this species, but they are generally treated as distinct today.

Fuzzyfruit nightshade seeds...

Fuzzyfruit nightshade seeds (Solanum candidum)

Price for Package of 5 seeds.

A herby shrub to 3 m tall with large, lobed leaves and furry, apricot-sized, edible fruits. Solanum candidum is widely distributed in woodlands and disturbed areas from southern Mexico south along the Andes to Peru.

Solanum candidum is a species of evergreen shrub native to South America and occasionally grown for its edible fruit.

Undomesticated and very rare in cultivation, it is known as fuzzyfruit nightshade, naranjilla Silvestre or chichilegua. The fruit somewhat resembles the related Cocona (Solanum sessiliflorum), and Solanum candidum will apparently hybridize with a number of close relatives, including cocona, naranjilla, and pseudolulo. One notable difference is the extremely hirsute fruits, which – unlike most of its relatives – do not detach easily upon full ripening, which is a hindrance to eating the ripe fruit. Nonetheless, S. candidum is a close relative of other nightshades cultivated for their edible fruit, including the tomato (S. lycopersicum), the naranjilla (S. quitoense), and the eggplant (S. melongena). Its relatively strong resistance to pests and disease (in comparison with its more appetizing relatives) has drawn some agricultural interest.

Scientifically, S. candidum is of additional interest, as it appears to be the closest relative and a possible ancestor to Asian members of the same botanical clade, notably Solanum lasiocarpum, which is native to India but is cultivated for its naranjilla-like fruits, and will likewise readily hybridize with S. candidum.

Solanum candidum is presumed to be native to the temperate Andean regions of Colombia, Peru and Chile. Like the cocona, naranjilla, and Indian nightshade, S. candidium can bear fruit within 1 or 2 years from seed. A short-lived perennial, fruit production requires a rather long growing season, which limits its agricultural potential in more temperate climates. Like the naranjilla and cocona, S. candidum is best adapted to subtropical cloud forest climates, where frost is unknown, but extreme heat is likewise very rare or unknown. The fruits are round berries, covered in persistent fur even when ripe, to 2 cm in size, which ripen to yellow or red.

African Peach Seeds...

African Peach Seeds (Nauclea latifolia)

Price for a Package of 10 seeds.

Nauclea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. The species are evergreen trees or shrubs that are native to tropical Africa, where it grows in lower elevations in the forests of the savannah.

A small to medium-sized tree or shrub, up to 30 m high, with large, simple, conspicuously veined leaves and strange, but beautiful, spherical, strongly scented, white inflorescences. It produces red, edible fruits with juicy, sweet, red, pulp, the taste of which is reminiscent of apples.

In cultivation, it adapts well to tropical climates and begins to produce fruit after just a few years. So far, however, it is largely unknown outside of Africa.

It can be grown in a large flower pot.

Corn Osmak seeds (eight rows)
Net weight - 5 g, Seeds in pack - 20 (1.45)

Corn Osmak seeds (eight rows)

Price for Package of 20 (5g) seeds.

This is a very old autochthonous variety of corn from Serbia, simply called "Osmak" (eight rows).

Our personal opinion is that no other corn can give such a delicious flour as Osmak.

It is an old type of white corn variety that is used mainly for human consumption. It used to be present throughout the Balkans, and today it is difficult to find because it was suppressed by hybrids in the 1980s. Apart from being white, it is also characterized by a white grain and eight rows.

"Osmak" does not give high yields as a hybrid. This year we sowed it for the first time. We sowed it like any other corn. We did not treat it chemically either.

Q: Selected cells turn red via custom ribbon button I am very new to VBA and coding in general, and have been following this How to add a custom Ribbon tab using VBA? for the ribbon.
I am attempting to by pressing a button in the ribbon named "Leave" it turns all the selected cells red.
So far i have been able to create a custom ribbon button using Office RibbonX Editor to the file, and the pop up "Custom UI XML is well formed"
RibbonX
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui">
    <ribbon>
    <tabs>
        <tab idMso="TabAddIns">

        </group>
        </tab>
    </tabs>
    </ribbon>
</customUI>

I have also added to my Excel document the following code
Sub Leave()
    MsgBox "Leave button clicked!"
    Selection.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
End Sub

enter image description here
However after selecting a few cells, and clicking the button i get the following message
enter image description here
I am using Professional Plus 2021.
What am i doing wrong? I have made numerous files, restarted the computer. I am very stumped. Any help would be great. Cheers!

A: The callback procedure specified for the onAction attribute in the ribbon XML markup should have the following signature:
C#: void OnAction(IRibbonControl control)
VBA: Sub OnAction(control As IRibbonControl)
C++: HRESULT OnAction([in] IRibbonControl *pControl)
Visual Basic: Sub OnAction(control As IRibbonControl)

So, you need to declare the following code instead:
Sub Leave(control As IRibbonControl)
    MsgBox "Leave button clicked!"
    Selection.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
End Sub
