US adds Al Nusrah Front, 2 leaders to terrorism list
by The Long War Journal | Dec 11, 2012 | Monitor
The US government added the Al Nusrah Front for the People of the Levant and two of its senior leaders to the list of global terrorists and entities today. In the designation of the Al Nusrah Front, the Department of State called the group "a new alias" for al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), and said Al Nusrah is under the direct control of the AQI emir.
"The Department of State has amended the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and Executive Order (E.O.) 13224 designations of Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) to include the following new aliases: Al Nusrah Front, Jabhat al-Nusrah, Jabhet al-Nusra, The Victory Front, and Al Nusrah Front for the People of the Levant," today's press release stated.
State said that al Qaeda in Iraq's emir, Abu Du'a, or Abu Bakr al Baghdadi al Husseini al Qurshi, "is in control of both AQI and Al Nusrah."
Al Nusrah has claimed hundreds of attacks, to include suicide bombings, military assaults, IED attacks, and assassinations. The terror group has now claimed credit for 42 of the 51 suicide attacks that have taken place in Syria in the past 12 months, according to a tally by The Long War Journal [see Threat Matrix report, Al Nusrah Front launches complex suicide attack in Syria, for a list of the attacks].
"Through these attacks, Al Nusrah has sought to portray itself as part of the legitimate Syrian opposition while it is, in fact, an attempt by AQI to hijack the struggles of the Syrian people for its own malign purposes," State continued.
Iraqi, Syrian Al Nusrah leaders added to list of global terrorists
In addition to State's designation of the Al Nusrah Front, the Department of Treasury added two senior Al Nusrah Front leaders, Maysar Ali Musa Abdallah al Juburi and Anas Hasan Khattab, to the list of global terrorists today.
Al Juburi is an Iraqi citizen who has been involved in attacking US forces in Iraq since 2004 as part of al Qaeda in Iraq. He "moved from Mosul, Iraq to Syria in late 2011 to exploit Syria's more permissive security environment with the objectives of transferring al Qaeda's ideology to Syria and forming likeminded terrorist groups," Treasury stated. He became Al Nusrah's "religious and military commander" in eastern Syria and ran a training camp.
Anas Hasan Khattab, another al Qaeda in Iraq operative, serves as a key facilitator between AQI and the Al Nusrah Front. In mid-2012, he was "involved with the formation of Al Nusrah Front for AQI," Treasury stated. Additionally, he "communicated periodically with AQI leadership to receive financial and material assistance and helped facilitate funding and weapons for Al Nusrah Front," and "works closely with al Qaeda-linked facilitators to provide logistical support to Al Nusrah Front."
The Treasury has not added Sheikh Abu Muhammad al Julani, the emir of the Al Nusrah Front, to the list of global terrorists. His nom de guerre, al Julani, indicates that he is a Syrian from the contested Golan area of southern Syria. The Al Nusrah Front has not disclosed al Julani's real name. The Al Nusrah Front appears to be mimicking al Qaeda in Iraq, which has obscured the real identity of the emirs of its political front, the Islamic State of Iraq, since its formation in late 2007.
Links between Al Nusrah and al Qaeda have been clear
The links between the Al Nusrah Front and al Qaeda in Iraq have been clear for some time. Al Nusrah's tactics, operations, and propaganda are nearly identical to those of al Qaeda in Iraq. The Syrian terror group conducts complex suicide assaults, ambushes, IED attacks, and assassinations. And just as al Qaeda in Iraq rails against the Shia, Al Nusrah says its attacks are directed against the Nusayri, or Alawite, enemy. Alawites are a sect of Shia Islam, and President Assad's regime is supported by Iran [see Threat Matrix report, Al Nusrah Front released photos of execution of Syrian soldiers, from October 2012].
The Al Nusrah Front announced it formation in a YouTube video statement that was released on Jan. 23. In the statement, the group claimed an attack on security headquarters in Idlib and vowed to attack President Bashir al Assad's regime.
In mid-November, the Al Nusrah Front and 13 other jihadist groups based in Aleppo rejected the Western-backed National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, and instead called for the establishment of an Islamic state, just as al Qaeda in Iraq did when it formed the Islamic State of Iraq in 2007.
"We declare our legitimate rejection of what came to be called the 'national alliance.' An agreement has been reached to establish a just Islamic State and to reject any foreign project, alliances or councils that are forced on us domestically from any entity, whatever it is," Al Nusrah announced in a statement that was translated by the SITE Intelligence Group.
Al Qaeda's network has strong roots in Syria, and was well poised to capitalize on the unrest in Syria. For years, the terror group has used Syria to support its operations inside Iraq. In late 2008, the US took the unusual step of launching a special operations raid against al Qaeda's facilitation network in the town of Sukkariya near Abu Kamal in eastern Syria, just five miles from the Iraqi border. US troops killed Abu Ghadiya, al Qaeda's senior facilitator, and his senior staff during the October 2008 raid. By 2009, eastern Syria was known to have evolved into a new terrorist haven for al Qaeda in Iraq [see LWJ report, Eastern Syria becoming a new al Qaeda haven].
Al Nusrah becomes a dominant force in the Syrian insurgency
The Al Nusrah Front has by far taken the lead among the jihadist groups in executing suicide and other complex attacks against the Syrian military. The terror group is known to conduct joint operations with other Syrian jihadist organizations.
Just yesterday, the Al Nusrah Front, in conjunction with the Mujahedeen Shura Council and the Muhajireen group, seized control of the Sheikh Suleiman base outside of Aleppo after a two-month-long siege. The base is suspected of playing a role in Syria's chemical weapons program. In mid-November, Al Nusrah reported that it attacked a base in Idlib along with the Ahrar al Sham Brigades, and even shot down a Syrian MiG fighter aircraft.
The Al Nusrah Front is also known to conduct joint operations with the Free Syrian Army, which is often upheld as the secular resistance to Assad's regime. On Oct. 11, Al Nusrah, the Free Syrian Army, and Chechen fighters overran a Syrian air defense and Scud missile base in Aleppo [see LWJ report, Al Nusrah Front commanded Free Syrian Army unit, 'Chechen emigrants,' in assault on Syrian air defense base]. In August, Al Nusrah said it attacked a police station outside of Damascus along with the Al Sahaba Battalion, a unit of the Free Syrian Army that operates in the capital [see Threat Matrix report, Al Nusrah Front conducts joint operation with Free Syrian Army].
Al Nusrah has become more appealing to Syrian rebels as the group's fighters are better organized and have expertise from waging jihad in Iraq and elsewhere, and have integrated their operations with the Free Syrian Army.
Foreign jihadists have begun to pour into Syria to wage jihad against Assad's regime. Fighters from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, and the Palestinian Territories are known to have been killed in Syria. Recently, two of Abu Musab al Zarqawi's cousins were detained by Jordanian security forces after fighting in Syria.
Jihadists from the UK may be flocking to the Syrian battlefields as well. In mid-October, The Times reported that authorities had identified a Bangladeshi resident of London as the leader of a group of British jihadists seeking to fight in Syria. Scotland Yard seized computers and mobile phones from members of the group, which consists mainly of Londoners and includes seasoned Chechen fighters.

Mesothelioma Prognosis
Mesothelioma has a poor prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of only 9%. Most mesothelioma patients have a life expectancy of about 1 year.
Prognosis depends on many factors, including the stage of the mesothelioma.
The life expectancy for most mesothelioma patients is 1 – 2 years after diagnosis.
Early detection and treatment can improve mesothelioma survival rate for many patients.
Some with mesothelioma have beaten the odds and lived long past their prognosis.
Receiving a mesothelioma diagnosis is a life altering event for you and your loved ones. You will likely have many questions like "What do I do now?" and "How long do I have to live?"
While the prognosis for mesothelioma is poor, with a 5-year survival rate of only 9%, the good news is that you may be able to improve your prognosis through conventional treatment methods such as surgery and radiation therapy. Also, newer experimental methods have injected new hope for those seeking to get rid of their cancer. Even if these options are not available to you, you may be able to reduce pain and improve your quality of life through palliative care.
Survival and life expectancy statistics can be cold and frightening. However, it's important to remember that malignant mesothelioma progresses differently in each individual. When discussing options, your doctor and your family are the best people to help you decide what is best for you. If you need help coping with your prognosis, you may find the information in our community section helpful.

Mesothelioma Prognosis, Life Expectancy and Survival Rate
When discussing survival information, it is important to understand the different terms involved.
Understanding Terminology
A projection for how the disease is expected to progress and the overall likelihood of survival.
A percentage that shows how many patients live for a given amount of time after diagnosis.
How long a patient is likely to live after diagnosis. This estimate depends on treatment success and other factors.
Survival statistics are based on large sample groups of people, they are not exact predictions of what will happen to you. Also, many statistics do not take into account the impact of emerging treatments, so the numbers may not be based on treatments being used today.
Coping with Your Mesothelioma Prognosis
After receiving a mesothelioma diagnosis, you will have a number of questions to answer and decisions to make:
Do I want to pursue treatment?
If so, what are the best treatment options for me?
What will the side effects of the treatment be?
How will I manage treatment side effects and care for myself?
How will I pay for treatment?
Finding a mesothelioma specialist who can help guide you through your treatment options is one of the most important decisions you can make. They will be able to answer your questions, evaluate your individual case, and discuss the best treatment options available for you. Conventional mesothelioma treatments like surgery, chemotherapy and radiation have been shown to positively affect prognosis, with mesothelioma survival rates improving even more when these treatments are combined.
For qualified individuals, enrolling in a clinical trial can be another way to improve your life expectancy. Clinical trials are research investigations in which people volunteer to test new treatments, interventions or tests as a means to prevent, detect, treat or manage various diseases or medical conditions. Many patients have benefited from the kinds of experimental treatments researched in these trials, such as gene therapy and immunotherapy. Talk to your doctor if you're interested in learning more about clinical trials that may be available to you.
Survivor Stories – Hope
Fighting and beating mesothelioma requires strength, courage, and a strong support system. The Mesothelioma + Asbestos Awareness Center works with a number of long-term mesothelioma survivors who advocate for patients, as well as a ban on asbestos.

Factors Impacting Your Mesothelioma Prognosis
Your prognosis will be based on a number of factors, individual to you. No single statistic alone can accurately predict your life expectancy, though combined it may provide a scope into what you can expect.
The factors listed below affect your mesothelioma prognosis most directly. However, your doctor will be able to offer a better explanation of how each factor relates to your individual case.
Mesothelioma Cancer Stage
The stage of the cancer is the most important factor when determining your prognosis. Staging refers to the classification of the cancer based on how it has spread throughout a patient's body. For instance, a stage 1 classification indicates that the cancer is localized and tumors present will likely be smaller. Stage 4, however, means the cancer may have spread widely throughout the body and patients may also have larger tumors. People diagnosed with mesothelioma at an early stage have a far better chance of long-term survival than those who discover their cancer at a later stage.
Mesothelioma Life Expectancy by Stage
Mesothelioma Location
The type of mesothelioma a patient has is classified by where the cancer is located: the lungs, abdomen or heart. Along with the stage of your diagnosis, location is one of the most important indicators in determining your mesothelioma life expectancy.
Of all the types, malignant pleural mesothelioma is the most common, but with more recent treatment advancements, peritoneal mesothelioma patients have experienced improved overall survival rates. Because pericardial mesothelioma is so rare and much harder to diagnose, it has the worst prognosis, with only about half of patients surviving one year.
While many pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma patients survive for at least a year, pleural mesothelioma survival rates drop dramatically by 3 and 5 years of survival. For instance, while 73% of pleural mesothelioma patients survive one year, only 23% survive 3 years and 12% survive 5 years or longer. Peritoneal mesothelioma has better survival statistics, as 92% survive one year or more, which drops to 74% and 65% at 3 and 5 years of survival, respectively.
These improved peritoneal mesothelioma survival statistics are at least partially due to the success researchers have seen in better treatments, particularly surgery with heated chemotherapy (HIPEC). While there have also been treatment advancements in pleural mesothelioma and survival rates have improved slightly from the past, there is clearly more research needed to improve current treatments and find other effective alternatives.
Mesothelioma Cell Type
A mesothelioma diagnosis will also entail the cancer cell types that are involved (epithelioid, sarcomatoid and biphasic cells). This aspect of the diagnosis is referred to as the histology, and it's important for oncologists to further differentiate mesothelioma by cell type to understand how these particular tumors will react to treatment. The cell types have different growth rates and likelihood of spreading, with the rare sarcomatoid cells being the most likely to metastasize and epithelioid mesothelioma typically seeing a longer life expectancy. Patients with biphasic mesothelioma can vary greatly, depending on whether sarcomatoid or epithelioid cells are more dominant.
Life Expectancy by Mesothelioma Type
Note: Because pericardial mesothelioma is so rare, there is not enough data to calculate life expectancy.
A patient's age can also impact life expectancy. Older people who are diagnosed with mesothelioma generally have poorer survival rates than those diagnosed at a younger age. Seniors often have other health conditions that can complicate treatment or limit their options. Younger patients are likely to have better overall health, so their bodies may be better able to handle cancer treatment.
Fewer than 25% of mesothelioma patients are women. However, on average women have a better life expectancy, living nearly 6 months longer than men who are diagnosed at the same age. The reason why women tend to have a better mesothelioma life expectancy than men is not well understood – it may have to do with the fact that women tend to have better overall health and are more likely to get symptoms checked by a doctor earlier than men.
5-Year Survival Rate By Age
In addition to age at diagnosis and a patient's sex, there are several other factors that can affect mesothelioma life expectancy.
Other Factors that Impact Prognosis
Several studies have shown certain genetic factors play a role in how long mesothelioma patients survive after diagnosis. One example is patients who carry a certain mutation of the BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1) gene tend to have better mesothelioma survival rates.
The healthier you are, the more likely your body will be able to fight the cancer and handle aggressive treatments that can help you get better. Exercise, good nutrition, and a strong immune system all work together to improve your prognosis.
Smoking History
While smoking does not cause mesothelioma, smokers who are diagnosed with mesothelioma tend to die sooner than patients who have never smoked.
Blood Counts
High levels of white blood cells, hemoglobin, or platelets could indicate complications with your cancer, which can result in a poorer prognosis.
Improving Your Prognosis
Treatment is the best way to improve your mesothelioma prognosis. The type and stage of mesothelioma will have the biggest impact on the type of treatment available and the efficacy of the treatment in improving long-term mesothelioma survival.
Mesothelioma Survival Rate by Treatment
As the stages of disease become more advanced, not only does the mesothelioma prognosis worsen, but patients face more limited treatment options. But mesothelioma life expectancy without treatment at all can leave patients with a prognosis of just 6 months or even worse. Because mesothelioma itself is so aggressive, patients who are able to undergo equally aggressive treatment have a better chance of longer survival. Most patients do, however, have a multimodal treatment, meaning they receive multiple types of therapy in combination whether to attempt to cure the disease or for palliative purposes.
Early stages of mesothelioma (stage 1 and stage 2) generally have no or very localized spreading of the disease, making it easier for oncologists to treat with a more intensive plan with curative intent. At these stages, surgery is usually still an option, as the cancer has not spread throughout the body and made surgery too risky. Depending on the location, patients will also often undergo chemotherapy or radiation in combination with surgery to achieve the best results. Peritoneal mesothelioma patients, for instance, have seen the best survival rates for early stage cancer treated by cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC, a heated chemotherapy wash, with a median survival of 53 months.
Stage 3 and stage 4 are the more advanced stages of disease, and patients may often be limited to palliative care to improve symptoms because of the distant spreading, including to the lymph nodes. Stage 3 is actually the most commonly diagnosed, so there have been some more clinical trials looking into potential curative treatments for these patients. At this late stage, surgery may no longer be an option, but there is still hope for treatment beyond palliative care depending on the individual case. Clinical trials are actively testing new treatments for these advanced stages of mesothelioma, like immunotherapy and photodynamic therapy.
Mesothelioma Life Expectancy Without Treatment
As mentioned, treatment is the best way to improve prognosis after diagnosis. However, patients sometimes choose to forgo treatment, whether for the high price of some cancer drugs, being diagnosed at a later stage or other personal reasons.
Several studies have determined that mesothelioma life expectancy without treatment is only a little over 6 months. Some older studies have seen some untreated patients live beyond a year after their cancer diagnosis, but these patients likely were diagnosed in early stages.
Mesothelioma Remission and Recurrence
Since there is no cure for mesothelioma, doctors prefer to use the term remission. Mesothelioma remission means the absence of active disease. It may be used when the mesothelioma has improved measurably, but may not be entirely gone from the body. In general, a patient is considered to be in remission when their disease is stable. Mesothelioma remission may be described as partial or complete.
Types of Mesothelioma Remission
Partial Remission
Tumors have shrunk by at least 50%
Most cancer symptoms are gone, but some may still be noticeable
Doctors may manage the disease as a chronic illness
Complete Remission
Scans don't show any signs of cancer
All mesothelioma symptoms may be gone
Also referred to as "no evidence of disease" or "complete response"
Even patients with complete remission still need to undergo frequent scans to ensure the cancer doesn't return. Unfortunately, due to the aggressive nature of malignant mesothelioma, recurrence is quite common. Recurrence refers to when the disease has been stable or in remission for some time and then begins to grow and spread again, sometimes to new areas of the body.
Studies have varied survival periods before disease progression, depending on the type and cell type of mesothelioma, the stage at diagnosis and the treatment plan. For some patients, it may just be weeks or months after treatment and remission, and sometimes even years before mesothelioma recurs.
Recurrence has been found to be highly likely even for those patients who undergo more aggressive treatments, like extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) or pleurectomy decortication (P/D). One study of pleural mesothelioma patients noted local recurrence rates could range from 41 – 72% with these surgeries, with high recurrence rates of 10 – 65% for distant recurrence, as well.
Ongoing monitoring and follow up care are crucial for all cancer patients, including those with mesothelioma. Even when patients achieve remission, the aggressive disease could still possibly recur at anytime. Having biannual or frequent scans and keeping close contact with your cancer care team can mean catching any disease progression early and starting treatment sooner, hopefully extending mesothelioma life expectancy and achieving remission again.

1. If we want to achieve harmonious coordination, we must understand our own arrogant nature, and learn to respect and listen to others' correct suggestions.
Because we have been corrupted deeply by Satan, we all have satanic nature of arrogance, conceit, self-importance, and self-righteousness. This is the main reason that we can't coordinate harmoniously with others. Under the rule of the arrogant nature, when coordinating to serve with others, we always look down upon others, regard others as being less than ourselves, and feel that we are better than others and have an elevated understanding, and in everything we want to have the final say. So we often work alone willfully; no matter what we do, we are apt to act arbitrarily; even though we have discussion with others, we just go through the motions, because we have already decided to do this or that in our minds. Because of our arrogance and conceit, always holding on to our own opinions, then it's hard for us to avoid producing the friction, estrangement and divergence with our co-workers.
So, we must pay attention to understanding our arrogance and conceit, and to knowing that our inner conceptions and illusions are not the truth, but come from our corrupt disposition and belong to Satan, and thus that we should not hold on to them but should betray and forsake them. What's more, in everything we encounter, we should seek God's intention, listen to others' correct suggestions, and do the church's work well according to God's requirements. Only by this way can our coordination in service be after God's intention and be blessed by God. The Lord Jesus said: "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Mat 5:3). If we can maintain a heart of humility and seeking, and learn others' strengths with an open heart to make up for our weaknesses, then not only can we achieve harmonious coordination but we also can learn many lessons. Actually, when we argue with others because of the different opinions, if we consider their opinions carefully, we will discover that: they are not inferior, what they suggest also has vantage points and recommendation, and it's just that we don't draw in them with our heart; our understanding is not so good or brilliant. Those who are highly competitive and give in to vanity are arrogant and conceited. If we believe in ourselves too much and try hard to deny the other's opinions, then it will seem too unreasonable.
2. If we want to achieve harmonious coordination, we must be able to face God and do the church's work well, adhere to the principle of truth and dare to safeguard the church's interest.
When two people do the church's work together, on the one hand, they should accept the other's correct suggestions and not live in accordance with the arrogant nature; on the other hand, they should seek after the principle of truth in everything, and should not get angry due to their prejudice against the other, ignoring the interest of the church. They should restrict each other and supervise each other, but it is absolutely not relying on temper and arrogance to do things. When discovering the other party does some things against the truth, they should dare to adhere to the principle and not be a "yes-man." For example, when seeing the partner or others disturb or demolish the work of the church, which seriously impacts brothers' and sisters' entries into life, yet they just ignore it, and hold the attitude of "Let things drift if they do not affect one personally; keeping silent on the faults of good friends makes for a long and good friendship," not considering the church's work nor the lives of brothers and sisters. They just carry on with their own work, regarding the work of church as a game. Even if the interests of the church suffer losses, they don't care about it and only focus on their own benefits. As long as their benefits are not infringed upon, they don't care about the other things. Such people are selfish, they are not the faithful stewards of God, and they can never achieve harmonious coordination with others. If they do not turn themselves around in time, they will lose the work of the Holy Spirit, and fall into the darkness.
So, if we find what the co-workers do can make the church's interests suffer losses, then we should stand on the side of the truth and must not give way. But if the co-workers have some foolish cooperation due to not understanding the principle of the truth, we shouldn't be overly-critical, but instead, we should seek and fellowship with them, aiming for a common understanding and accomplishing God's commission well. Then, such coordination is harmonious.
3. Coordinating harmoniously is for accomplishing God's commission, complementing each other, and being built together.
In coordination in service, the error that we most easily make is that: Either we are arrogant and conceited, refusing to obey anyone, having no regard for anyone's suggestion and only wanting others to obey us and keep pace with us, or we live in accordance with our selfish and contemptible nature—even though we see the partners have some problems, we are unwilling to practice the truth, only focusing on sustaining the fleshly relationship with them, and ignoring the church's interest. Such coordination in service has no harmony, and if we coordinate like this, we will be rejected and eliminated sooner or later by the Holy Spirit. The purpose that God arranges for us to work together is to allow us to learn from each other, and unite in heart and mind to serve God. Only thus will the church be built, and will our spiritual life grow.
Think carefully, every work in the church is not something that a single person can accomplish; therefore, we must coordinate in service so that the work can achieve a good result. Because anyone of us is not perfect, and we all have many shortcomings and deficiencies, if we only rely on ourselves to do the work in coordination in fulfilling the duty, then we will not succeed in our work, and even sometimes, we will make mistakes and bring some losses to the church work. But if we can coordinate in service, our shortcomings will be made up for in varying degrees and some faults will be avoided, too. Just like in the Age of Law, Jehovah God let Moses lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Because Moses was awkward in speech and couldn't accomplish God's commission by himself, God raised up Aaron to be his prophet. They two performed their respective duties and cooperated with each other, and in the end, they led the Israelites out of Egypt, completing God's commission.
Just like when we perform our duties together in the church, one person is proficient in discovering the problems of the church and loopholes in the work, but his understanding of the truth is shallow, so after discovering the problems, he doesn't know which aspect of the truth should be fellowshiped to solve them. At the same time, the other person is better in receiving God's word and communicating the truth. If they two can work together, and give play to their own strengths and learn from each other, then not only will the problems in the church be solved but the lives of brothers and sisters will be edified, and they themselves also will learn lessons while working together. It is beneficial for the work of the church and our entries into life. If we all can care for God's intention, and can, for the sake of the work of the church and of brothers' and sisters' entries into life, coordinate harmoniously and do our best, there must be God's blessings accompanying with us: The life of the church becomes better and better; the whole church is one heart and there is an atmosphere of harmony and tension; God's will can be carried out on us, and every work will always produce results. If we can always experience and enter like this, no matter whom we will work with, we can learn from each other, then we will gain a lot, and our lives will grow faster. Is this not God's love and salvation for us?

West Indies legend Brian Lara hopes to be 'back in full health' soon
Will O'Callaghan
willocallaghan
Former West Indies cricket captain Brian Lara is recovering in hospital in Mumbai after being admitted with chest pains.
The 50-year-old insists the minor heart scare is "nothing major" after he felt ill while working out in the gym earlier today.
"A couple of the tests have come back already, the doctors were quite happy that there is nothing major. I'll be back in full health very soon," said the record holder for the highest individual innings in both Tests and first-class cricket.
"I think I maybe just extended myself too much in the gym this morning and there's been a bit of pain in my chest.
"I'm just letting everyone know I'm fine, I'm recovering and I'll be back in my hotel room tomorrow.
"I'm going to be alright."
Lara's been working as an analyst for Indian television for the Cricket World Cup and the West Indies Cricket Board have also wished their leading run scorer well in his recovery.
"Our prayers go out to Brian Lara, who has been hospitalised in Mumbai due to chest pains.
"On behalf of all at Cricket West Indies, we wish you a speedy recovery."
Our prayers and well wishes go out to former West Indies batsman and captain @BrianLara who has been hospitalized in Mumbai due to chest pains. On behalf of all of us at Cricket West Indies, we wish you a speedy recovery 🙏🏽. pic.twitter.com/5IQiUsvlVF

The Most Popular Summer Olympic Sport?
The Olympic Games is the most widely anticipated sporting event in the world. It includes a wide range of sports, but noticeably there are a couple of popular sports from around the world that do not participate at the Olympics, such as cricket and American football. There have been a few analyses of popularity of sports at this premier world sports event, using various measurement methods. See also the discussion about popular Winter Olympic Sports.
The most popular world sport as measured by other methods is soccer, which is also one of the most popular Olympic sports, though swimming and athletics reach their peak in popularity during the Olympics and give soccer some competition.
Here are the results of several studies:
IOC Categories (2020) - The IOC has created a ranking of the Summer Olympic Sports to determine which sports get the greater share of revenue. The top three sports are athletics, aquatics (including artistic swimming, diving, swimming, and water polo) and gymnastics.
Twitter Mentions (2012) - Based on Tweets during the 2012 Olympics, soccer was the most popular: football / fútbol / soccer had over 5 million Tweets. The most discussed athlete of the Games was not surprisingly sprinter Usain Bolt, with nine other Olympians gathering more than 1 million Tweets each. The biggest moments of competition, as measured by Tweets per minute, was the Usain Bolt winning gold in the 200m sprint. See more.
Most Widely Played Olympic Sport (2005) - Based on the number of National Federations was found to be volleyball. See more.
IOC Website Traffic (2004) - Analysis of internet traffic to each sport section of the IOC website in 2004 found aquatics (swimming etc.) the most visited. See more.
Published Articles (2004) - Using data from the Olympic Program Commission about the 2004 Olympic Games, based on newspaper articles. The sport with the most articles published is by a long way Athletics (Track and Field), with swimming second and soccer third. See more.
Topend Sports Poll: The leading sports voted as the favorite Summer Olympics sport are gymnastics, track & field and swimming. The least favorite Olympic sport is equestrian, though when listed separately, race walking is least favorite.

Q: Again on Glassfish 4 and java.lang.IllegalStateException: isHexDigit After almost a year without any problem suddenly my Glassfish web application is not working any more. In the browser the requested pages are truncated and bad formatted.
The log is full of the following exceptions:

and others related perhaps to a poorly configured error page.
It seems that glassfish responds with a 500 internal error to requests like this: www.mysite/faces/javax.faces.resource/primefaces.css?ln=primefaces&v=4.0
In internet I found the following related posts:

*

*java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

*Glassfish 4 do not load js files

*random Http 500 Internal Error
From the above documentation it is clear that Glassfish 4 has some bugs and it is not wise to use it in production. I wonder why everything seemed to work well for more than a year and suddenly it broke. The third link suggests it may be due to an external attack and it provides a patch I'm going to test. Is it correct or am I misunderstanding something ?

Felicia amoena is a variably hairy, sometimes glandular, biennial or perennial plant, of about  high, that is assigned to the family Asteraceae. It is somewhat woody at its base, roots at the nodes if these contact the soil, and has ascending branches. The leaves are oppositely arranged along the stems at and just above a branching fork, further up the leaves alternate. The flower heads sit individually on up to  long stalks. They are  in diameter and consist of about twelve to twenty five heavenly blue ray florets that surround many yellow disc florets. Three subspecies have been recognised, that differ in width of the leaves and the involucral bracts, the size of the heads and number of ray florets and in having glandular hairs. These can be found in coastal sands and inland areas in the Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa. Flower heads can be found from June till October.

Description
Felicia amoena subsp. amoena is an upright, up to  high, biennial, possibly sometimes perennial, sometimes near its base a bit woody herb, that mostly branches copiously. The branches are often crowded near the plants foot, while the nodes that rest on the ground easily develop roots, the more distant parts of the side branches ascend. The arrangement of the leaves on the stem changes from opposite to alternating. At the foot the leaves are in several opposite leaf pairs, and further upwards the leaves alternate, but after each branching, the lower one or two pairs are again opposite. The size of the leaves varies greatly, depending on the circumstances, and may be up to  long and 2 mm (0.1 in) wide, linear to lance-shaped, bristly hairy, sometimes hairless with age, thick, with curled-down margins.

The flower heads sit individually on, up to  long, near the top densely felty hairy, stalks, and emerge mostly with three together at the top of the branches. The involucre is up to  in diameter and consists of a double row of bracts. The involucral bracts are line- to lance-shaped, about  long and adorned with a brush-like tuft of hairs at their tips. The outer bracts are  wide and carry arched bristles. The inner bracts are  wide, slightly bristly and have a prominent midrib.

The flower heads have up to twenty five dark blue, female ray florets with straps of about  long and  wide. These surround many bisexual disc florets with a yellow corolla up to  long. In the center of each corolla are five anthers merged into a tube, through which the style grows when the floret opens, hoovering up the pollen on its shaft. At the tip of both style branches is a triangular appendage. Surrounding the base of the corolla are many, white, serrated pappus bristles of about  long. The eventually dark brown, dry, one-seeded, indehiscent fruits called cypselae are inverted egg-shaped, about  long and  wide, with a prominent ridge along the margin, with some scales on its surface and short, forked hairs.

Felicia amoena subsp. latifolia is a diploid having eight sets of homologue chromosomes (2n=16).

Differences between the subspecies
Felicia amoena and its three subspecies are among the most variable taxa in the genus. Subsp. amoena is mostly a biennial, has linear to lance-shaped leaves of up to  long and 2 mm (0.1 in) wide, with a blunt or slightly pointy tip. Its involucres are relatively large, about  in diameter and bracts of about  long and  wide. It has up to twenty five ray florets of about 12 mm long and 2 mm wide surrounding yellow disc florets. Subsp. latifolia has broader leaves, that are lance-shaped to inverted egg-shaped, 4–1 cm long and 4–10 mm wide. It also has wider involucral bracts at about 5 mm long and  wide. The disc florets often turn dark red with age. Subsp. stricta is always a perennial with a woody base, slightly sticky because it has glandular hairs, and has small and narrow, pointy leaves of 1–1 cm long and  wide, almost all of which are opposite. Its involucres are relatively small, about  in diameter, with bracts only  long, with only about twelve ray florets of 8 mm long and 1 mm wide.

Taxonomy and naming
As far as known, the first specimen of this daisy species was collected in 1826, where the road from the Potberg crosses the Breede River, by Cape Town organ player Ludwig Beil. It is now assigned to the subspecies latifolia. A plant collected by Johann Franz Drège at Riebeek-Kasteel, was described by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in 1836, who called it Agathaea stricta, is now assigned to subsp. stricta. The first specimen now assigned to subspecies amoena was collected from Hout Bay on the west coast of the Cape Peninsula by Christian Ferdinand Friedrich Krauss in 1838. It was described in 1843 by Carl Heinrich 'Bipontinus' Schultz, who named it Agathaea amoena. In 1865, William Henry Harvey, who was a lumper, sunk Agataea in Aster, creating the combination Aster amoenus. He distinguished a slightly different specimen, that had been collected by Karl Wilhelm Ludwig Pappe, and named it after him Aster pappei. Harvey further distinguished Aster elongatus var. spathulaefolius in the same publication. Finally Harvey regarded De Candolle's specimen as a variety that should be placed under Christian Friedrich Lessing's species Aster adfinis (now Felicia dubia), creating the combination Aster adfinis var. stricta. In 1948, the eminent South African botanist Margaret Levyns created the combination Felicia amoena, that is still in use today. In his 1973 Revision of the genus Felicia (Asteraceae), Jürke Grau distinguished three subspecies: F. amoena subsp. amoena, F. amoena subsp. stricta, and his new taxon F. amoena subsp. latifolia.  The species is considered to be part of the section Neodetris.

The species epithet amoena means "beautiful" or "pleasing" and is said to refer to the attractive flower heads.

Distribution, habitat and ecology
Felicia amoena subsp. amoena has the smaller distribution of the three subspecies. It is restricted to the sandy soils around the Cape Peninsula and near Gordons Bay. Subsp. latifolia has the largest area and occurs along the coast from the Cape Peninsula in the very west to the mouth of the Sundays River in the east. An isolated population also occurs in the southern Cedarberg. Subsp. stricta can be found inland, from the Cedarberg in the north, via the Piketberg along the western edge, around Ceres, near Worcester and Swellendam on the eastern edge to Bredasdorp in the south.

Conservation
The continued survival of all three subspecies of Felicia amoena is considered to be of least concern because their populations are stable.

A little something I wrote while trying to learn Wurst.
The extension files only contain some API improvements to make the code look cleaner.
Oh, hi, only seeing this now tbh.
Since Quests are a very essential thing, I think at least the QuestExtension should be added to the standard library, since we don't have any for them yet.
Please make a pull request here GitHub - wurstscript/WurstStdlib2: WurstScript Standard Library Version 2 or paste the package then I can do it.
To adhere to stdlib conventions, the "extenstions" package should be named "Quest.wurst" and the package containing extra functionality be named something like "Quest[Utils/Helper]"
packages are just APIs that provide the extension functions and nothing more?
Not done pull requests before so I figured I'd just link.
Basically fork the repo(on website), apply your changes, commit(shell/vscode) and then request a merge(on website again).
Or do you want me to do it for now?
Hey, this was merged, can I move it to GY?

Skirt measures 13 inches from the top of the seed stitch band to the bottom.
Seed stitch band measures 19 inches around.
I accidentally cast on the wrong number of stitches under the arms, so I did two rounds of increases for the skirt to get to the correct stitch count.
For the 18 month size, the knit-purl sequence required to keep the seed stitch band in seed stitch was off in the pattern starting at Row 27. I just ignored those instructions for the last 4 stitches and kept the band in the already established seed stitch pattern.
Bound off sleeves with a size 8 needle.
I used this bind off (Version A) for the bottom of the skirt.
The M1 increase in this pattern is bothering me. It leaves a little hole. I don't know if that was intentional or not on the part of the designer. Usually, when I execute this particular increase, I knit through the front of the stitch.
Knitting was finished on 8/30.

Q: Prime Number Recursion- How Does It Work? (Python) I was wondering how this program knows if a number is prime or not. I understand that it checks for remainders to find even numbers to divide by but how does it know that a number has only 2 factors? I'm new to the concept of recursion so a explanation of the steps would be helpful thank you.
Code
def RecIsPrime(m):
    """Uses recursion to check if m is prime."""
    def PrimeHelper(m, j):
        """Helper Function to iterate through all j less than m up to 1 to look for even divisors."""
        if j == 1:  # Assume 1 is a prime number even though it's debatable.
            return True
        else:
            #do this task if both conditionals are true
            #else break and return false.
            return m % j != 0 and PrimeHelper(m, j - 1)
    return PrimeHelper(m, m -1)

Source
https://github.com/hydrogeologist/LearningPython/blob/master/_recursion%20example%20in%20Python
Lines: 184 to 194

A: It checks whether there's any number from m - 1 down to 1 that divides m, it doesn't check just even numbers.
EG, for RecIsPrime(10) you will have these nested functions call:
PrimeHelper(10, 9) = 10 % 9 != 0 and PrimeHelper(10, 8)
↪ PrimeHelper(10, 8) = 10 % 8 != 0 and PrimeHelper(10, 7)
  ↪ PrimeHelper(10, 7) = 10 % 7 != 0 and PrimeHelper(10, 6)
    ↪ PrimeHelper(10, 6) = 10 % 6 != 0 and PrimeHelper(10, 5)
      ↪ PrimeHelper(10, 5) = 10 % 5 != 0 == false

10 % 5 != 0 is false, so the right hand side of the and won't be evaulated. PrimeHelper(10, 5) will return false and doesn't continue the recursion.
In PrimeHelper(10, 6) you get 10 % 6 != 0 to be true, but we've just seen PrimeHelper(10, 5) to be false so this will return false as well, and so will all the other calls.

A: This code is a tail recursion case, i.e. it can be seen as a recursive way to perform iteration. Note that Python doesn't actually interpret it that way (which would be an optimisation), but it is still helpful to see it like that:
See how every recursive call of PrimeHelper has the same value for m, but has a value for j that is one less compared to the value it had in the previous call.
So the code is comparable to this variant:
def RecIsPrime(m):
    for j in range(m-1, 1, -1):
        if m % j == 0:
            return False
    return m > 1

In this variant every iteration corresponds to a recursive call in the original code. Note that return False breaks the chain, which is done by m % j != 0 in the original code, i.e. there it serves two purposes:

*

*Return False

*Don't call PrimeHelper anymore

It is important to note that the two variants do not behave the same way when you call RecIsPrime with an argument of 1 or less. In those cases the recursive code can produce a "division by zero" error (when RecIsPrime(1)) or recurse for ever (e.g. RecIsPrime(-1) or any lesser value). This is a bug. To correct it change:
return PrimeHelper(m, m -1)

by
return m > 1 and PrimeHelper(m, m -1)

which also fixes the case for 1: it is more than just "debatable" whether 1 is prime or not: it is definitely not.


Now, let's take a look at a few samples that show us the difference between writing that is descriptive and writing that isn't. I was nervous about my first day of school. My mother dropped me off in the front of the school. I got out of the car, and heard the bell ring. I walked to class. I found my class, and sat down in the front. My teacher walked in and yelled at me. Get FREE access for 5 days, just create an account. I was nervous about my first day of high school.
My mother dropped me off in the student drop-off zone located in front of the school. I got out of the car, and I saw the principal standing greeting everyone walking around. The kids were all taller than me; some of the guys even had beards! The first thing I wondered was how I would get around this huge school. I stood in the front looking for people that I knew to shake out the butterflies in my stomach. I walked around for a few minutes until I heard a loud ring; it was the school bell.
Students began to rush inside; it was like a stampede of elephants. I followed the rest of the kids. The hallways smelled like a combination of sunscreen and cheap body spray. After five minutes of walking, I finally found my first class. I walked in and found a seat in the front of the classroom.
I sat next to a girl who was wearing a bright red sweater. She was annoyed because some of the kids were asking her why she was wearing a sweater during the summer. She said it was because she loved the feeling of cashmere, and it was her lucky red sweater.
I sat there for another two minutes staring around to see if I recognized anyone. I looked on my schedule, and, to my surprise, class did not start for another three minutes, and finally I pulled out a stick of Doublemint gum. Eventually the bell rang. The teacher walked inside, and that's when things started to go badly for me. The teacher yelled at me at the top of his lungs, 'No gum!
I was scared and nervous, but then the teacher smirked and said, 'Unless you have some for me! Hopefully you see the difference! Descriptive writing is an important literary device. This allows the writer to create a connection with their readers through the use of details.
There are several techniques a writer uses in their writing, such as word choice and sensory details to paint a picture with their words. If done correctly, all readers will be able to understand subject matter they have no background knowledge of. Some tips for using effective descriptive writing include choosing your focus, use of words, reader interest, re-reading and redo. To unlock this lesson you must be a Study.

Definition of Descriptive Writing Take some time to think about the differences between a short and a long conversation that you've had with someone about a specific event. I learned so many new power words. Thanks a lot for the list! I love this list, this is pure gold for me. I think the viral word is also a power word. A brilliant piece of work! May I post a link of this article in my blog?
My friends will find it very helpful. This is an awesome list here. I have looked at it several times when trying to make a query or hook for a book I am writing and found several words that have worked for me.
Although during one query I was writing I found that Vigilante worked for me better than Terrorist. I did not see that in one of the lists and do not know if anyone else has mentioned that one yet. If not there is a new word for you. Will give me food for thought as I write my next blog entry and then next words on my next books, today.
Here are some power words from my writing, yesterday. I used this as an exercise to explore my writing:. Jon — congrats — a cracking post, that I use every week as a reference guide when creating and editing my own. It does what it says on the tin, because it absolutely HAS made me a better writer. I have been using these now a few times, but I am struggling with how much I should emulate your style.
Also, you tend to hype the living gold out of your articles. Contrary to most other authors, you keep your promises of awesomeness. Anyway, thanks again for making me a better writer and a more conscious promoter.
People actually read my posts now. A true gift from a true genius. This will be very helpful! Thank you for making the list so detailed and organized, and sharing it for free. We all know these words, but we often try to think of new, modern, complex ones that we think will grab attention. Eventually, we realize that simplicity is the solution to everything. The simpler, the better. My humble contribution primarily but not exclusively for political speeches: Hi Jon, Great list, great post!
More ideas for your list of power words when you create it: I have now bookmarked it so that I can keep referring back to it when writing certain blog posts and articles.
I appreciate the list being very long. Love the examples from Henneke and Sarah Peterson — their personalities shine through. The words they use fit their brand. Excellent knowledge pack article … strange only words make me better writer i am really very excited and going to use this soon.
Great piece of content. Thanks a ton Jon. Learned a lot from your thoughts. Your content always inspires me. Thank You for your powerful words. Learned a lot from your thoughts, your content is precious, easy to read and understand, Thanks for sharing. On the internet we can find lots of information but in the whole thing existence of the reality is very few, so this site i found which is really helped me a lot.
Not only is this a valuable list, but this post is a case study in how to write a great blog post. The information you have published in your blog is really useful and I will apply this useful information to the seo studies of my own website and blog page. You have such a gift for practicing what you preach. Seriously, this is high value for me, and I can implement immediately. Thanks for pouring the work into making this great.
Great article, I would really thankful for share the article from the digital marketing point of view. Thanks for sharing this article. Keep up the good work. Sir amazing work by you. I am also a blogger and its a veryhelpful for a blogger like me.
We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime.
That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. It is to wage war , by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny , never surpassed in the dark , lamentable catalogue of human crime.
It is victory , victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror , victory , however long and hard the road may be; for without victory , there is no survival. Thanks so much Jon for this great insight. Love this post too. Each post is detailed and, like you said, excellent. Also, Hollywood is brilliant at cashing in on fear with movies like World War Z and Please and thank you! Can I get brownie points for noticing that one too?
Thanks for this very helpful post. Great list, Jon, thanks for the reminders. Thank you for your excellent posts and continued professionalism. Thank you so much! We need to compare lists! Hi Jon, Some of my favorites from my list are: Might be interesting to start an abbreviation category. Yes, we seem to be having some technical issues. A delicious literary stimulation, Jon. And your About The Author text is the icing.
This list is pure gold. You set a high standard for insanely useful content. We need people like you to inspire us, Jon Thanks! Yes, everyone go sign-up for the webinar. My apologies in advance if you already mentioned them: Thanks for the list Michael! Petrified a great word, and I want to add more to my list, because I forgot to add them at my post on the bottom and again, sorry for any accidental repeats: Brinks-Truck-Safe — exceptional and one for my list!
That one is definitely going in the next version. Here is one possible addition: Yep, heart stopping, marvelous, and magical have stronger emotional pulls too. Hey, at least you got the message down! It would be great to see this topic in an updated headline hacks, or in its own pdf. I have a God of Writing and his name is Jon. Thanks Jon, you are awesomely admirable.
I think you can use them all for pretty much all niches. Be sure to give it a bookmark. Also, we are preparing a PDF version. Ha, yeah, that would be another interesting way to organize them.
I was thinking exactly the same. What about slangs, rude words? The first group can probably help you with that. They are words that cause readers to feel a particular emotion.

Eye of the Predator Paperback by Matthew J. Moving Day Hardcover by Robert Kalan. Morais, The Hundred-Foot Journey. There are no words to capture the infinite depth of crowiness in the crow's flight. All we can do is use a word as an indicator, or a whole bunch of words as a general directive.
But the ominous thing in the crow's flight, the bare-faced, bandit thing, the tattered beggarly gipsy thing, the caressing and shaping yet slightly clumsy gesture of the down-stroke, as if the wings were both too heavy and too powerful, and the headlong sort of merriment, the macabre pantomime ghoulishness and the undertaker sleekness - you could go on for a very long time with phrases of that sort and still have completely missed your instant, glimpse knowledge of the world of the crow's wingbeat.
And a bookload of such descriptions is immediately rubbish when you look up and see the crow flying. Snow scape 1 chapters — updated Dec 18, Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account.

Q: Asp.Net Membership Password Resets without symbols I'm using the asp.net Membership Provider in an application.
I'm also using the "out of the box" asp:PasswordRecovery control.

'I'll always look out for County' – Twine thanks Exiles after loan is ended early
Scott Twine thanks Newport after loan deal ended early
RECALLED: Scott Twine has had to return to Swindon from Newport
SCOTT Twine has thanked Newport County AFC for an "incredible four months" after being recalled from his loan by Swindon Town.
The Exiles hope that the 21-year-old's time in amber hasn't come to an end – they have made a bid to sign the attacking midfielder on a permanent deal.
However, if the Robins do opt to sell rather than keep Twine for their battle against League One relegation then they won't be short of suitors.
His form for County – seven goals, three of them wonder strikes, and seven assists in 24 appearances – put him on the radar of clubs higher up the pyramid.
Twine's spell at Rodney Parade could be a brief one but the promising prospect says it was a memorable one.
"As I'm sure most of you are aware, I've been recalled from my loan at Newport County," Twine posted on Twitter.
"I just want to thank Newport and the gaffer for giving me the opportunity to play for them this season. It's been an incredible four months and I enjoyed every minute of it.
"Thank you to all the players and staff at the club for making me feel welcome from day one.
"To the fans of Newport County, I'm gutted you couldn't watch us play at Rodney Parade but I hope you enjoyed what you watched from home and thank you for all of the support you have given me since I joined.
"I'll be looking out for Newport County for the rest of my life. Whatever the future may hold for me I'll be wishing the team all the best in the FA Cup this weekend and hopefully achieving the promotion that we all want."
Twine would have been a key figure in the Exiles' cup clash with Premier League Brighton on Sunday but will instead be in the mix for Swindon's league trip to Ipswich on Saturday.
One man who will have a weekend off is Brandon Cooper, who is cup tied for Swansea City's fixture at Stevenage.
Like Twine, the 21-year-old seems destined to star at a higher level and could get a chance in the Championship with the Swans after being recalled because of injuries at the Liberty Stadium.
"Just want to say thank you to everybody at Newport County for everything! My time with the club has been great and I can't wait to see the lads finish what we started," he posted on social media.

Everybody knows they should be eating more vegetables, in particular leafy greens, but it can be difficult to stomach green stuff on its own. It's worth it, though; as well as being full of iron, they also have high levels of vitamin K to prevent age-related conditions developing, can reduce cholesterol, and have more protein per gram than meat. The more bitter a green veg is, the more calcium it contains, meaning it's perfect for keeping bones strong. The jury's out on whether greens help to prevent cancer, but as some studies indicate yes it's in our best interests to aim for a couple of portions a day.
Lots of green food is classed as a superfood, too – chlorella, spirulina and wheatgrass are words you'll oft-hear in health circles, and for good reason. They contain the most concentrated levels of nutrients, vitamins and minerals, as well as having their own unique benefits (did you know that studies have shown that spirulina can help control blood sugar levels? Now you do!). It can be difficult – and expensive – to get enough leafy greens and green superfoods into our diets, so I thought I'd share my strategy for getting as much green is as possible.
Blend your greens into a smoothie or juice, mix it into an omelette or hide it inside pasta sauces. Okay, it's a bit of a giveaway as whichever vehicle you are using will more than likely turn bright green – and green omelettes definitely take a bit of getting used to – but after the first bite or sip you barely even realise the green-ness is there. I like to hide the taste with sharp flavours, like lime or pineapple in smoothies, or turmeric and cumin in sauces; in the below smoothie I even added half an avocado which made the smoothie really thick. You can hardly mistake it for a milkshake but it tasted like a treat nonetheless!
I LOVE broccoli, Brussels sprouts, marrowfat peas, raw spinach, and kale crisps, so I use them in as many meals and in as large a quantity as possible. In fact, the other day I had such an enormous pile of sprouts on my plate that I just couldn't finish them, which is saying a lot for me. Find the green veg you love then use it aaall the time. If you're a green hater, are you sure you've tried all of them, in all of their forms? How about Swiss chard, artichoke hearts, okra..? The latter is an acquired taste, but worth a shot at least.
I've long since added wheatgrass powder to smoothies, and I look forward to the day I can buy afford all sorts of different superfood powders for different jobs, but for now I've found an even easier way to get extra greens into my diet – MyVitamins Total Nutri-greens tablets*. These bad boys contain spirulina, wheatgrass, alfalfa, chlorella, spinach, and broccoli, amongst others, so they cover a lot of superfood bases. The package recommends 2-3 tablets three times a day with a meal, which seems a little excessive as they're big, chalky tablets, so I've been taking one at breakfast and one at lunch. Makes sense to me as they're just an addition to my all-round healthy diet, which is what any supplement or vitamin should be.
I've been feeling good lately, but whether I can attribute it to the higher level of green stuff in my diet, I don't know. I do know that getting in my quota of greens each day makes me feel better about the occasional burger or chocolate bar!


Deborah Herold is no stranger to surviving the odds. When she was just nine years old, she spent a whole day on a tree when the tsunami struck the Car Nicobar base where her father was employed. With her family displaced, she had to wait for the waters to recede and hope for Deborah spent a whole day on a tree when the tsunami struck a timely rescue. It was a horrifying experience but this tribal girl from the Andamans was made of stern stuff. She took up cycling, a sport which has few fans in this country, and quickly went on to become a role model.
On Friday , Deborah, now 20, scaled another unique peak when she became the first Indian female cyclist to be ranked fourth in the world, according to the World Elite Women Ranking issued by cycling world body UCI for the 500m time trial event.
Prior to the recent Track Asia Cup held at the Indira Gandhi Stadium velodrome here, an event in which Deborah put in a commanding performance, she was ranked 10th. At the three-day event last month, her three medals were critical to India's cycling contingent finishing in third place, with 11 medals.
"I am happy that I am the first Indian cyclist to reach this stage, but I want to improve more. I aim to be No. 1 . I would like to thank our federation and government for their continuous support. I am working hard to qualify for the Olympics now," Deborah said.

Food Truck Route of Brussels
Frédéric Solvel.
08 Sep 2014, 11:09 Last Updated: 23 Jan 2018, 14:01
Recently food trucks have been busting out all over the city. Now thanks to the Food Truck Route, everyone has their own space and time to share their culinary creations with wanderers on the street, tourists, and locals.
Since the last edition of the Brussels Food Truck Festival, you've been craving another similar meal. But where to find your favorite food truck! That is now much easier…
Food truck you said?
Food Truck, my friend! Trucks and bikes that wander the city offering their gourmet cuisine to those on a quest for something different at their lunch break. Forget the ham and cheese sandwich and boring salads and go for the bagels, croque-messieurs, or world cuisine. To learn more about the concept, take a look at our page devoted to the food truck trend.
Presented in early September 2014, the Food Truck Route (or Parcours Food Truck in French) consists of 13 points in different areas of the city. It was necessary to choose the spots where tourists, pedestrians, and workers pass by so that everyone can enjoy the specialties to the fullest. From Avenue Louise to Tour & Taxis, from Porte de Namur to Place de Brouckère, the city is covered!
To start, 25 gourmet trucks or bicycles have been chosen out of 200 candidates. To be a part of the tour, these food trucks had to first prove their credentials: local quality products, original cuisine, on-site preparation… So you can be sure that the crème of the crop is now waiting for you around the city.
The course will be expanding and professionalizing in the next couple of weeks: signage, set-up, visible labels… One thing's for sure- fun new places are emerging in the city!
Click on the utensils to see the location and the day where food trucks will be present.

"The four of us grew up in the golden-age of spastic, seizure inducing video games (see: the 90's)," says singer Stefan Babcock. "Our best bud Jeremy had the idea to smash together scenes from some of our favourite games in a hot pile of ADHD-insanity. Turns out that pairs really well with our music. Go figure."
After spending nearly two months on a U.S. tour with Modern Baseball last fall, the two bands will meet again for a run of dates throughout the UK starting April 17. Full tour dates can be found below.
Since the 2014 release of PUP's self-titled debut, this ferocious four-piece has truly taken the world by storm and will undoubtedly continue to with the release of their highly-anticipated new album, coming later this spring. They were listed amongst Rolling Stone's Breakout Rock Acts of 2014, named one of Kerrang's 20 Hottest Bands In The World Right Now and garnered nominations for three Juno Awards, and the Prism Prize. They've toured the world twice over, playing over 300 shows in the last two years.
All the while, fans have continued to turn up left and right —Noisey declared their debut album "a perfect ten," BrooklynVegan calls them "catchy, anthemic and raw as hell," Consequence Of Sound boasted that "PUP make punk rock effortless" and even The New York Times included PUP as one of their picks for Best Albums of 2014.


Hi! It's Paula and Andrew here, photographer and stylist from PhotoStyling. We've just arrived back from three of the major European interior trade shows, Paris, Cologne, and Birmingham. On behalf of Arighi Bianchi, we're here to share a few of 2018 hottest interior trends soon to be gracing our homes!
Romance is back on trend! New colourways of floral wallpaper were everywhere at Maison et Objet in Paris.
Dusky pink, cornflower blue, sage green and poppy red gave a new dimension to the already well-loved botanical and blousy flower look.
2. Think Mineral. Think Gold.
Gold is still a precious metal but not so rare in interiors now. In fact, it was a massive presence in every interior show this January.
There's no limit to it: you can combine it with neutrals, bold colours, black-and-white schemes, wood, metal, velvet - anything really!
Take a look at the photos below to see what possibilities this look opens up.
Palms and tropical vibes have continued throughout the Winter and are still with us in 2018. Luxurious tropical greenery made it on to wallpapers, fabrics, rugs, cushions and accessories. We love it because it's a way of softening the January blues during the dark Winter days.
This trend is such an easy way to transform your home. Just choose the coolest key animal accessories and they will immediately add personality and charm to your interior.

In this post, I'm going to show you an amazing technique to kill candida in just three days, trust me, it works, and it's going to give you impressive results very quickly.
Whenever I tell people that they can get rid of their candida issues in just three days, they get the idea that I may be trying to scam them or I am probably trying to sell them supplements or something which will never work!
I kid you not, my technique is going to kill candida in just three days, and most importantly, it's going to improve your immune function and health tremendously, you just need to try it, and most importantly, you need to have a strong will power because this is not going to happen by wishing for it, you have to be practical, you have to do the things that work and avoid the things that cause candida in the first place.
Unfortunately, most people don't know what's going on with their fungal problems, they just imagine that they have candida because they have eaten something bad or because they have used someone else's brush for example!
You are eating bad food, and these foods are causing you constipation and lots of stomach issues, in fact, you are probably eating low fiber meals, in other words, you are relying on processed foods a lot.
Well, this is just terrible because candida thrives on processed foods and processed carbohydrates, the more you consume, the more it's going to increase in effect and damages your body.
Meat, dairy, poultry, fish, white sugar, white bread, white pasta, white rice, alcohol, juices, processed foods in general, vegetable oils, olive oil, butter, cheese, chocolates, and even supplements!
And now, I want you to consume these foods: whole grain products, whole wheat bread, lots of vegetables, dark green leafy vegetables, lots of fruits, potatoes and sweet potatoes, they are the best foods you can consume if you'd like to kill your candida in a matter of days.
So, you need to start this diet from day one, drink lots of water and enjoy these foods, and every night, before you go to bed, I want you to do this: peel five garlic cloves, mince them, and swallow with lots of water.
Within the third day, you will notice huge improvements and your candida is certainly going to be gone!
Please, if you have a question or a concern when it comes to killing candida in three days, I want you to post it in the section below, I will be very happy to help you.

2018 Zanzibar Expedition
The Academy closed out 2018 with some impressive firsts: The Zanzibar coral reef expedition is not only the Hope for Reef team's first foray into the Indian Ocean, it is very likely the first time the mesophotic zone (100-500 feet) has ever been scientifically explored in Zanzibar!
Our shallow-water team explored the island's shallow reefs (0-100 feet) in October, racking up over 100 species observations, while our deep-water team descended to the mesophotic depths in December.
We'll keep you posted on big eureka! moments here and on our Instagram and Twitter feeds, but to keep an even keener eye on our scientists in the field, follow #casfieldnotes and #hopeforreefs and monitor the Zanzibar iNaturalist project in real time below.
Zanzi-where? See it on a map.
Shallow Reefs, Abundant Hope
The shallow water team found plenty of reasons for ocean optimism during their survey of coastal Zanzibar's shallow (0-100 feet deep) reefs. Dr. Gary Williams, a curator of the Academy's Invertebrate Zoology and Geology (IZG) department, observed overall good health of the coral reefs, with "little evidence of bleaching, disease, or obvious signs of physical damage." Species needing clean water to thrive were recorded in both outer reefs and nearshore sand and seagrass areas by Senior Curator of IZG Dr. Terry Gosliner, further indicating a "diverse and healthy ecosystem."
While Zanzibar's reefs looked to be in good shape, it's certainly not a totally clean bill of health. IZG curator Dr. Rich Mooi noted a lack of top predators and herbivarous fish inhabiting the reefs, a clue that some important links are missing from the local food chain. Land-based pollution and overfishing also pose perennial threats to the island's marine ecosystem. Observations from the mesophotic team later this month will help paint a more detailed picture of the state of Zanzibar's shallow and deep reefs, and offer insights to inform a more substantial ecological assessment in the future.
An Invertebrate Oasis
For our shallow-water team, spinelessness is next to godliness. A dazzling array of octocorals, echinoids, and nudibranchs were observed, and a variety of soft corals and sea fans will be curated into the Academy's invertebrate zoology collections. These specimens, collected sustainably, will help create a record that could help inform future conservation decisions.
Terry Gosliner can add at least two more nudibranch species (Elysia sp. and Miamira sp.) to his impressive tally this year. These beautiful sea slugs are also sustainability bellwethers, indicating healthy reef conditions and clean water.
The team was also treated to a sighting of Ercolania kencolesi (pictured), one of the more bizarre members of the sea slug family, which makes its home (and its meals) inside the cells of Boergesenia forbesii, a species of alga.
Spawning Success
You can call her the echinoid whisperer. Postdoctoral researcher Dr. Frances Armstrong was able to spawn and measure eggs from a sea biscuit, sand dollar, and urchin while in the field—no mean feat, considering the life cycles of these echinoid species can usually only be studied in a lab setting.
"Understanding a species' life cycle is important for understanding its natural history as well as for conservation purposes, since we have extremely limited data on reproduction and life cycles in the majority of marine invertebrates," says Frances. With this fresh new data on echinoid reproduction, we are reminded of how much is left to learn about these critically important coral reef ecosystems.
