I Just Can't Believe It's December Links
* Over the weekend, of course, we celebrated the first Star Wars Trailer Day in a decade. Your shot-for-shot dissection. A deeper look. Digging deeper still. The George Lucas Special Edition. Elsewhere on the Star Wars beat: Physicist Proves That R2D2 Is Lighter Than Styrofoam.

* In not one of those cases did a coal mine owner face criminal charges for the loss of life. That history ended in November, with the indictment of Donald L. Blankenship, the chief executive whose company owned the Upper Big Branch mine near here, where an explosion of methane gas in 2010 spread like a fireball through more than two miles of tunnels, feeding on illegally high levels of coal dust.

* But where does it come from? My new answer: nobody builds a megadungeon. Megadungeons build themselves. They are the guilty conscience of rulership; the truth commission against power. Great power corrupts, and absolute power does what we've been told. Even those who want to rule well feel the attraction of expedient murder and petulant torture, the convenience of imprisoning one's enemies without trial, buying off the priesthood and covering it all in a glaze of ceremony and pretty words. On this world, this eventually provokes its own reaction. Beneath the seats of power – castle; trading house; senate building – the accumulated sins happening above begin to literally undo the foundations. Dungeons grow. It might not be so tidy as: 60 starved prisoners in the last few decades means 60 skeletons, with hallways for them to roam through; 20 goblins and some rooms for them to squat in appear as a direct result of last year's punitive expedition against the recalcitrant border villages; one ghoul for each speech in which you cloak your appetites in the honeyed words of dead philosophers, etc.
* How many people are locked up in the United States?
* Officers Who Shot 12-Year-Old Holding Toy Gun Refused To Give Him First Aid. The video that caught the cops lying about Tamir Rice. White Cops File Suit, Claim They Are Punished Too Much For Shooting People.
* Grand Jury Won't Indict Officers In Ohio Wal-Mart Shooting, Either.

* One of the worst "errors" of the Obama presidency was the pivot to deficit reduction, when literally no one cares about deficit reduction.
* Like uninsured New Agers afflicted by terminal illness, journalists facing the collapse of their industry are turning in desperation to faith healers, quacks, and hucksters of all sorts. Amway Journalism.
* Abolish the Senate.
* Officials with a Northern California school district expelled a live-in nanny's 9-year-old daughter after hiring a private investigator to ascertain where she lived, the Contra Costa Times reported. Having been caught, the school district has now reversed itself.

* This TNR piece on the Rolling Stone UVA exposé actually raises some relevant journalism questions, but my sense is this happens entirely by accident in the course of a kneejerk attempt to discredit the story.
* The false rape accusation as witchcraft.
. CTRL-F revenue, CTRL-F income, CTRL-F profit: Vox Media Valued at Nearly $400 Million After Investment.
* The 22-year-old appeared to have killed himself, police said. A handgun was found near his body inside the dumpster. The text he sent said he was sorry, "if I am an embarrassment, but these concussions have my head all f—ed up."
* Even a single season of high school football might have harmful impacts on the brain.
* Your panel-by-panel breakdown of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's Watchmen pastiche Pax Americana #1, this year's instant-classic comic book.

Saturday Night Links!
* I've had a nice bit of professional good news: I've been asked to join Extrapolation as an editor beginning with their Spring 2015 issue.
* "Crutzen, who is not a geologist, but one of the modern great scientists, essentially launched a small hand grenade into the world of geological time scales," Jan Zalasiewicz, chair of the ICS's anthropocene working group, told the Guardian. "The word began to be used widely, well before geologists ever got involved."
* That old-time religion: Now that science fiction is respectable, it's lost almost all of the conceptual craziness and dubious sexual politics that made it both fanboy bait and of genuine interest.
* From AfricaIsACountry: Ebola and neo-imperialism. And from Jacobin: The Political Economy of Ebola.
* The arsenal of, well, let's say democracy: The U.S. sold $66.3 billion in weapons last year –- more than three-fourths of the entire global arms market.
* Richest 1% of people own nearly half of global wealth, says report.
* Climate change: how to make the big polluters really pay.
* Of Collaborators and Careerists.
* Whites are more supportive of voter ID laws when shown photos of black people voting.
* Meritocracy watch: Poor kids who do everything right don't do better than rich kids who do everything wrong.
* The 21st century university: women's only colleges and trans identity.
* Since the sinking of the Titanic, there has been a widespread belief that the social norm of "women and children first" (WCF) gives women a survival advantage over men in maritime disasters, and that captains and crew members give priority to passengers. We analyze a database of 18 maritime disasters spanning three centuries, covering the fate of over 15,000 individuals of more than 30 nationalities. Our results provide a unique picture of maritime disasters. Women have a distinct survival disadvantage compared with men. Captains and crew survive at a significantly higher rate than passengers.
* The Milwaukee police officer who killed Dontre Hamilton in Red Arrow Park is believed to be the first officer in the city fired as a result of a fatal on-duty shooting in at least 45 years.
* "Weird hobby."
* More back-and-forth on carceral feminism from Amber A'Lee Frost and Freddie deBoer.
* Pieces like this are enough to make you nostalgic for the quietly understated narcissism of "job creators."
like Uber but for poor people to sell their organs to rich people

So old I can remember when technological progress was going to increase human happiness instead of helping everyone hustle 24 hours a day.
* An oral history of The Wonder Years.
* New Scrabble Dictionary Disrepects The Game.
* Stop worrying about mastermind hackers. Start worrying about the IT guy.

* Marquette University invites applications for the Arnold L. Mitchem Dissertation Fellowship Program. Mitchem Fellowships seek to help increase the presence of currently underrepresented racial and cultural groups in the U.S. professoriate by supporting advanced doctoral candidates during completion of the dissertation. The fellowships provide one year of support for doctoral candidates who are well into the writing stage of their dissertation work, are U.S. citizens, and are currently enrolled in U.S. universities. In addition to library, office and clerical support privileges, Mitchem Fellows receive a $35,000 stipend plus fringe benefits, research and travel monies for the 2015-16 academic year. The teaching load is 1-0.
* UC-Riverside Call for Postdoctoral Fellow: "Alternative Futurisms."
* NEH watch: Save the Overseas Seminars.
* When Harvard is one of the worst colleges in America: colleges ranked by social mobility index. Marquette doesn't come out looking all that great by this standard either, though it does beat both Duke and Case Western by a good bit. (Greensboro, oddly, seems not to have been ranked at all.)
* If I can't dance: U.C. Berkeley set to pull plug on anarchist's archive.
* Student loan borrowers are not getting enough help avoiding default, according to a report released Thursday by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Meanwhile, the Nation reports: Should You Go to College?
* Against Carceral Feminism. I agree with @DavidKaib that "carceral liberalism" is the more important frame here; there's no reason to single out feminism when so much of liberalism across the board is carceral in its orientation.
* Then the drought ate all the sportsball.
* Youth Are on the Frontlines in Ferguson, and They Refuse to Back Down.
* The Adjunct Crisis Is Everyone's Problem.
* A people's history of Gamergate. The Routine Harassment of Women in Male Dominated Spaces. Brianna Wu: It Happened to Me. 'We Have a Problem and We're Going to Fix This.'
* 4 Reasons Why A Travel Ban Won't Solve The Ebola Crisis. Why travel bans will only make the Ebola epidemic worse. Why An Ebola Flight Ban Wouldn't Work. And yet I would guess one is only a few days off.
* Peak Meritocracy: Andrew Cuomo thinks being the son of a former governor has been a "net negative" for his political career. If only we could somehow harness the radical cluelessness of these people and use it for productive ends.
* Two reports on outcomes for humanities majors could serve to reinforce two disparate beliefs about the field: one where they are seen as a viable path to a successful career, and another where they are seen as a track to a low income and few job prospects. The gender gap is vitally important here.
* Italy Just Pulled Out of Recession Because It Began Counting Drug and Prostitution Revenue.

Q: State is changed to true returns to false I created a CheckBox list, where I get the verified value of the endpoint as false, but when changing the setstate it changes to true but then returns to false, i think FuturueBuilder rebuild CheckLists when setstate is called... But i have no idea how fix it.
e.checked is parsed ...snapshot.data!.secoes![i].checklists! .map<Widget>((e)  attribute coming from the model that it receives through the api, for each checkListTile there must be a value to change in onChanged.

This has been a tough year for me. I suffered some personal losses and have been struggling with the vision loss that always seems to be accompanied with numerous bumps and bruises. When my vision shrinks it's always difficult physically, but the emotional sense of loss is the worst. I was working on this website over a year ago and was hoping to have a book finished with everything I've learned about RP; unfortunately, my vision started failing fast and the emotional roller-coaster took over and I had to step away for a longer period than I had anticipated.
When I was first diagnosed the symptoms were minor, then the field of vision shrank but my central vision was good. Over the last year or so my vision has gone through significant changes monthly, sometimes weekly. What spurred me to write about this was my son. He understood some of my issues but when we were at a restaurant and he was telling me about a picture on a wall, I couldn't see it and he couldn't understand. So I explained it, in detail and he finally understood and encouraged me to write about it so that other family members and friends might start to understand as well. So, here it is, how I see.
I was first diagnosed in 2001. At that time, I was just going to the eye doctor for new glasses. When she did the exam, she noticed something was wrong and sent me for further tests. I was informed a couple of weeks later that I had Retinitis Pigmentosa. I had no idea what this meant and read everything I could find on the disease, there wasn't much. In hindsight I know that I had gone from being graceful to klutzy. I would bump into walls and trip over things. I really hadn't noticed any issues with my eyes. I did have trouble seeing details during twilight but with no family history with blindness of any kind, it was all a surprise.
My sight was stable for several years and I fooled myself into believing that I could stop myself from going blind if I just believed strongly enough. Then changes started happening. When I was told I would lose peripheral vision I thought only of the sides, it didn't occur to me that up and down would be a problem but they were the first to drop away in a significant way.
I was constantly banging my head on things and now I wasn't just tripping over things I was banging my shins into all kinds of objects. It was like I was unaware of where my head and feet were. There was also a narrowing of my vision. I would test this by looking directly in front of me and taking note of what I could see to my left without moving my eyes and then to the right. I watched as the width shrank but still I believed that somehow, someway I could will the progression to halt. My central vision was still reasonably clear, so I figured I was doing well.
Over the last year things have changed so quickly and significantly it makes it impossible to pretend or believe that my eyes will magically recover. I finally went and got the genetic testing done and got the high of "we know what gene is effected" and then the low of "but it is so rare that no one is currently working on it." I, personally, will never see a cure or even a treatment for my condition within my lifetime. Harsh, but there it is. It took a few weeks to accept this fact, but I have. I have created a bucket list of places and things to see before I go blind. It's turned what was horribly depressing into something exciting, something I wouldn't have done for years.
Another interesting point with the genetic testing was a mystery to solve. According to the genetic information there are only two families who have had the genetic mutation that I have. One is Spanish and the other is Jewish. The problem has to be passed down to me by both of my parents. So what is so mysterious about that, well, I never would have gone for the Ancestry DNA testing if it weren't for this mystery. You see, I am Irish and Scottish and we can trace our history back for several generations. I figured that the only thing that would come back in the DNA would be some peat and thistle because there was nothing interesting to find. Now I can't resist, I need to know what happened with my family. Am I the beginning of a newly recorded family with this hinky gene or do my ancestors have some explaining to do? But I digress.
So right now, how do I see? My visual fields are at about 20 degrees, and I also have multiple blind spots in my central vision. This combination is bad enough, but my central visual acuity is also faltering. I see what a normal vision person might see in heavy fog or a smoke-filled room. I have bright, white lights that spin into my vision like paisley swirls dancing in front of my eyes.
On bad days and when I'm particularly tired I see spots of bright static and large black spots floating around in front of me. On the worst days I can hardly see anything at all. Details are lost to me and colors are blending into each other so that reds, oranges and pinks all look the same, blues and greens have no dimension, and nothing has real vibrancy.
Textures must be touched to be appreciated and I have come to really hate steps. Moving from brightly lit areas to dark areas is difficult, it takes several minutes for my eyes to adjust if they do at all. Going from dark to bright is worse, it's actually painful with sharp stabbing knives piercing my sensitive eyes.
The trouble with the picture on the wall that my son wanted me to see was simple. The restaurant we were in was all windows. The picture was above one of the windows and it was a bright and sunny day. I looked up and couldn't see the picture. My son had me come to a darker area of the room thinking I would be able to see it from there.
Frustrated, I told him that all I could see was a black board on the wall above the window. Now, how to explain what is going on?
Photography is a great way to show what it looks like. If you take a picture of someone sitting on a couch with a window behind them on a bright day, what do you get.
You can make out that there is a person on the couch, but their face is shadowed so badly that you can't see their features. Like the image above, the light behind the people is so bright you can only make out the silhouettes of their bodies, no features. Well, this is what I go through every day. If there is any light behind, or beside or under anything, I can't see anything but the light and maybe some darker silhouettes. The light puts everything in deep shadow so that there are no details, there are no images, there are only black shapes.
Light and dark are now my nemesis. They play tricks on me, making me think that something is there when it isn't and making me think my way is clear when there are obstacles. People and things disappear into blind spots and people who want my attention need to either speak to me or touch me to let me know that they want something.
Not everyone gets this. Family members that know better will often give hand gestures and when I don't see them or can't make out what they are trying to get across they get angry and bark commands at me. I sometimes feel like a child being scolded, but I try to understand. How can they know when they have never gone through anything like this? I can't blame them or get mad at them for their own ignorance, I just try to explain and hope they remember for next time.
My son had a revelation the other day when I could finally explain in a way he could understand, how I see.
As the darkness grows darker and my tunnel shrinks I know that I will be blind soon. I don't know the exact date, that would be handy, but no one knows. My eyes could stabilize and stay as they are for years or I could, theoretically wake up tomorrow and see nothing.
I hope that I get to see for at least a couple more years. I have a plan you see. I have to make myself ready to go completely blind and to that end I have been trying out and acquiring tech, making some plans as to where I will live, the help I will need and how to organize my life.
I know that I need to make changes so that I can remain as independent as possible for as long as possible. I think about sacrifices that I'm willing to make and the things I am unwilling to compromise on. I am trying to enjoy as many different activities as possible with the vision I have left which leads me to the big one – The Blind Bucket List!
I know that because my type of RP is so rare it is highly unlikely there will be a treatment, let alone a cure for my RP in my lifetime; however, there may be a treatment or cure out there for your type of RP and I am on a mission to find it.
I'm also going to be visiting researchers, doctors, eye hospitals, tech companies and everything in between to find the best resources for you in your struggle with RP. I would also like to bring stories of other RP'ers just like you so that we can learn from each other and inspire one another. Whatever I can find out, I will bring to you here at rptunnelofsight.com, so watch this space.
Of the many things I've learned along the way is that life is what you make it. I might not like going blind, the people around me might not always understand, but in the end I have two choices.
I can either feel sorry for myself and fold under the stress of this disease or I can pull myself up by the bootstraps and make the most of a bad situation. I like the latter option. I will see whatever I can before I go completely blind and when I can no longer see the world around me I will muddle along and do the best that I can.
I would love to hear from you in the comments below. How do you see? Was this article helpful to you? What would you put on your Blind Bucket List?

Lee St. Lawrence, First Director of the Far East Regional Office
Browse archives for December 10, 2018
World War II and the Army sent Lee St. Lawrence into combat duty in Europe. Somehow or other, he didn't get to the United States again for 17 years.
Born in Brockton, Mass., on January 2, 1923, St. Lawrence worked his way through high school as a gandy dancer on the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. He received a classical education in Greek and Latin at a Redemptorist Fathers junior college in Pennsylvania. After his war service, he took advantages of the GI. Bill and went on with his studies—overseas.
He earned extra money while at Oxford University with a job piling mail sacks in London's Paddington Station. After additional work at Dublin's Trinity Collee and the Institute de Science Politique in Paris, he launched a career as a free-lance writer for British newspapers.
Six months of traveling with gypsies in Spain yielded a Sunday feature series. Another six months of living among contra-bandits in the tiny republic of Andorra paid off with another Sunday series. He then signed as first mate aboard a 120-ton Brixton trawler engaged in trading in the Mediterranean.
When the ship was sunk off the Italian coast, St. Lawrence decided to give up both journalism and seafaring and he took his first Government job—as an interpreter for the European Defense Community. Assigned to international conferences in Paris, he was charged with offering simultaneous translations from French, German and Italian.
The U.S. Government become his sole employer when he joined the foreign aid administration as program officer in Yugoslavia. Two years in Belgrade were followed by three years as program officer in Laos and other nations of Southeast Asia. In Vientiane, the Laotian capital, he shared a house with Dr. Tom Dooley.
His next tour of duty took St. Lawrence to the Congo in the midst of the new nation's most turbulent period, just after its independence. Assigned to set up the first economic mission to the Congo, he traveled the nation from one end to the other in the course of which he was beaten up twice by mutinous Congolese soldiers and came within one shout (to a nearby influential friend) of being hanged.
He negotiated an economic program with the late Patrice Lumumba. For this, he received the International Cooperation Administration Meritorious Service Award when he finally—after 17 years abroad—returned to the United States.
At ICA's suggestion, St. Lawrence enrolled in The Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies, and he was there as a student once again when he was asked to join the administrative staff of the newly established Peace Corps.
"I had to be convinced about the Peace Corps," he said. "I had seen too many incompetent Americans abroad." He added that he was "thoroughly convinced now. I think the Peace Corps represents the most exciting concept in foreign affairs the U.S. ever had."
Within one month of his joining the new organization, he was back in Africa—to conclude successfully the first negotiations for an overseas contract. This was in Tanganyika, and St. Lawrence bushwhacked the country from end to end in order to see the exact conditions under which Volunteers would live there. It was an investigation without, as yet, a precedent, and St. Lawrence emerged with the first detailed program after extended talks with Tanganyika political leader Julius Nyerere, who was then Prime Minister.
Later on, he visited Tunisia to spell out the details of the first program in that nation. And since he went to Indonesia for the negotiations which resulted in the first Peace Corps program in that nation.
In 2011, Pierre & Joan Delva self-published a 52 page kindle book entitled Lee St. Lawrence: The Man Behind the Peace Corps. While in email correspondence I told Pierre that Lee "did not" create the Peace Corps and, in fact, was brought into the agency by Shriver, they published their short ebook with its misleading title.

We will tell you more about the importance of protein in one's daily diet, as well as about its role in building a beautiful, healthy body.
As you have already found out, proteins serve a structural purpose in the human organism, forming kind of a carcass that supports the shape of your cells. It also plays a key part in the cell signaling systems during immune responses. An organism requires protein consumption especially when it grows and when its human 'owner' leads an active, sports-focused life.
What protein do you need to build muscle?
Generally speaking, this crucial element can be subdivided into two groups: of animal and of non-animal origin. Despite many experts highlighting that these types can be replaced by each other, the animal protein is more 'akin' to the human organism. That is why it is better absorbed (this, however, does not mean that you should fully exclude the plant protein from your diet).
On the other hand, it can be quite difficult for professional sportsmen to consume as much protein as exhaustive daily pieces of training require. That is exactly why an increasing number of people active in bodybuilding, fitness, and other kinds of intense sports prefer to get the needed protein not only from food but also from the special dissoluble protein powders. So, to the point we started with, what kind of protein do you need to build muscle?
Whey protein. The primary source of this type is milk whey. Its consumption is most important to take place after intensive exercises, as it stimulates anabolic processes in an organism. Up to date, it is among the most affordable, yet effectively enhancing muscle bulk types of protein, which, on top of everything else, does not provoke high levels of stress for the gastroenteric tract.
Casein. It is a hydrolyzed sort of protein extracted from curds. It is an essential component in sportsmen nutrition. It is absorbed quite slowly while provoking pretty high amounts of stress for the gastroenteric tract (intestinal obstruction may be caused by overconsumption). Properly ingested (in the evening time or before going to bed), it can slow down catabolic processes, helping sportsmen gain muscle mass. This one is quite an expensive type of protein.
Milk protein. This one is also slowly absorbed by the human body, so various gastroenteric tract dysfunctions are possible when it is improperly ingested. This is a cheaper alternative to the whey protein, which is, nevertheless, much less effective in terms of the muscle bulk support. If we regard the milk protein with the purpose of answering the question 'How much protein do you need to build muscle mass?', its high lactose contents restrict the healthy consumption of this type of element to 60 grams per day.
Soybean isolates. A plant-originated kind of protein, which requires the additional input of amino acids from the main course food. It is mostly employed by vegetarian and vegan athletes. It is utterly slowly absorbed by an organism, which calls for various possible GT tract issues. Unfortunately, it has quite a doubtful value for intensely training athletes. Notice also that many beginner sportsmen are afraid to ingest soybean isolates due to soy being the source of phytoestrogen. Nevertheless, all the components that can cause a hormonal disbalance in the organism are discarded during the extraction of the isolates, which makes such awareness a bit excessive.
Ovalbumin (egg albumen or egg white). Egg whites are the most highly effective. They contain a full set of amino acids necessary for growing muscle mass, being pretty expensive on the retail market at that. It is pretty heavy for the GT tract, so it is crucial to balance it carefully.
Protein Hydrolysates. This is the more affordable alternative to animal-originated proteins. Depending on the quality of raw materials, the GT tract stress-load can vary from medium to high. A few years ago, Hydrolysates were considered to be the most expensive source of protein. Later on, however, it was figured out that due to the full protein hydration, it is impossible to define its initial raw products, while certain amino acids tend to lose some initial consistent parts due to the hydration. This fact almost completely eliminated their value for those who preferred to consume them among others.
In mass retail, there are also multicomponent mixes that include a full set of amino acids required by sportsmen. This is, probably, the most optimal option for people that form their diet individually (there is no necessity to calculate the daily dosage).
0.8 – 1.5 grams of pure protein for 1 pound of weight (depending on the level of physical stress-loads and state of health).
Now, let's consider this: why do certain people, even those who most probably exceed the proper daily dosage of protein for their body, still cannot gain muscle bulk as rapidly as they wish?
As a matter of fact, protein is absorbed differently by different organisms. Some consume whole 100% of the element, while others cannot handle even the half of it. The solution here is to focus on your individual progress, work on your diet, and, surely, keep in mind that an excessive protein consumption may cause stomach issues.
How much protein do I need a day to build muscle? 1-1,5 grams of the element per 1 pound of body weight is an average dosage for an adult male that strives to lose all the stored fat and gain muscles.
According to the above-mentioned dosages, a male that weighs about 175 lbs needs to consume 175 – 260 grams of pure protein to build muscle per kg.
your protein's quality is crucial (only animal sources-origin proteins in the boiled/baked form or the specialized sportive nutrition from a well tried-&-tested manufacturer).
An excessive amount of protein in a body can lead to quite negative effects on the liver and kidneys. Moreover, regular consumption of animal products in large amounts can significantly increase the cholesterol level in one's blood.
And now for the cherry on top for those who decided to go for a protein diet. Expert nutritionists believe that an organism requires 30% more energy to absorb proteins, as opposed to absorbing carbohydrates and fat. This means that the factual calorific capacity of proteins can be reduced to 3 kcal per 1 g. Furthermore, an organism starts to use its fat storages when the time comes to restore the energy expenses. This means that by replacing proteins with 'fast carbohydrates', you lose weight. Thus, with increased contents of proteins in one's nutrition, fat storage expenditures also increase by 30-40%.
Animal products (such as meat, eggs, dairy products) contain all the necessary amino acids to some or another extent. In turn, protein-containing plant products feature only fractions of the nine crucial acids.
This indicates that animal protein cannot be fully replaced by the plant kind (one cannot exchange meat for the regular intake of nuts & soy, staying healthy at that).
In order to enhance our inspection of the initial question 'How much protein do I need to build muscle as a male?', let's figure out which products are the richest in protein.
White and red meat. Our list of foods that contain enough protein needed a day to gain muscle starts with chicken fillet and beef. As you may know, those are practically the foundation of an athletic diet. Despite the fact that beef is much fatter than chicken, this kind of meat virtually does not contain carbohydrates and has low-fat contents. Having ingested your standard amount of meat during one course of the meal, you can get a sufficient daily dose of proteins. If we are talking about fatter sorts of meat (like pork), you should absolutely cease consuming such foods if you are planning on losing weight.
Fish. Another rich with proteins food that also features fats that are good for your skin. River fish and tuna are known to have the lowest fat contents (the latter features an unprecedented amount of proteins for a kind of fish and practically does not contain fat). Additionally, fish makes your GT tract work smoothly and properly (as opposed to the heavy red meat).
Eggs. Egg whites are an excellent source of protein needed to lose fat and gain muscle. Keep in mind, however, that a chicken egg can be a quite harmful allergen and can boost your level of cholesterol when overly consumed. It is best to eat no more than 1-2 eggs with yolk (which is the primary source of excessive cholesterol).
Soy. Products based on soy provide plant proteins that are great for vegetarians. On the other hand, as we have already mentioned, soy is also a significant source of phytoestrogen, so be careful when ingesting it in the 'clear form' (not in the isolate form).
Curd. A definite advantage of curd is that its fatness can be regulated depending on the diet and particular organism demands. In all other aspects, it is pure protein. Keep in mind the fact that fat-free curd would not be the best choice for those into sportive activities (all the protein it contains cannot be absorbed by an organism due to the lack of fat).
Cheese. Despite rich protein contents, cheese is still a fatty product. So if you plan to lose a couple of kgs, restrict your consumption of this product.
Beans. Along with soy, it is another great protein-rich plant product. It features loads of vitamins, fiber, as well as a number of microelements that positively affect the state of one's body in general. On the other hand, beans are not the best bet when it comes to the diet of people with the GT tract problems.
Buckwheat. There are lots of protein for gaining muscle in this gift of nature. Generally, buckwheat is the richest in protein type of fixing. There are many kinds of a diet based on buckwheat. It is eaten regularly a lot by athletes and people that cannot handle complex carbohydrates.
Summarizing our research called to answer the 'How many grams of protein do I need a day to build muscle?' – being among the essential elements of a human's daily diet, protein must be consumed responsibly, especially, if you want to lose weight and/or gain some muscles. We hope that our feature helps you to figure out which type of proteins is the most reasonable for you in particular and answer the ultimate question – how much protein does a male need to build muscle.

2018-Stereotypes-about-womens-drinking-branded
Stereotypes about women's drinking branded unfair and unhelpful
The stigmatisation of women's drinking, and the sexualisation of women in alcohol advertising, will be highlighted at the Scottish Parliament today by policymakers, academics, researchers and politicians.
Glasgow Caledonian University's (GCU) Dr Carol Emslie, together with Dr Niamh Fitzgerald, University of Stirling, will present new Infographics on Men, Women and Alcohol in Scotland, intended to challenge stereotypes and stigmatising attitudes about gender and drinking. Men and women's alcohol consumption is still treated differently; women are judged more harshly if they have been drinking, while men's behaviour is more likely to be excused.
Dr Carol Emslie, Glasgow Caledonian University, said: "Women are still judged more harshly than men if they have been drinking and media reports continue to highlight young women as a group prone to 'risky' drinking. Our infographics ask people to question why stereotypes about gender and alcohol persist. Watch out for 'bench girl', an image often used to accompany any story on alcohol, showing a young woman in a black dress and boots, sprawled apparently semi-conscious on a street bench. Yet official statistics demonstrate older men make up the majority of those who die or are hospitalised for alcohol-related causes."
Recommendations from the report, Women and Alcohol: Key Issues, include better collaboration betweenresearchers, practitioners, women's rights groups, and those with experience of alcohol harm; restrictions put in place for all forms of alcohol marketing, including online, which employ sexualised images and messaging relating to women; more women-only spaces in alcohol services, and more residential treatment and recovery support for women and children.
The report draws on findings from a series of consultation events held in Edinburgh and London in 2017 about the relationships between alcohol and women.
Authors of the report, Victoria Troy and Dr Eric Carlin, (both of SHAAP), said: "Although men are about twice as likely as women to die from alcohol-related causes, media discussion often focuses on the perceived problem of women's drinking, with moralistic and stigmatising attitudes featuring strongly in public discussions. We've been trying to explore why this happens and to suggest how we can counter cynical marketing by alcohol producers that exploit rather than emancipate women, as well as suggesting how support services can be more women-friendly."
The parliamentary event, which has cross-party support, is sponsored by Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP and will take place in the Fleming Room from 6-8pm.
Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said: "I am really pleased to sponsor this event at Parliament, in our nation's struggle with alcohol we have seen many myths linked to drinking habits and gender. If we are to tailor an effective national policy response we need to be clear about the facts and in particular challenge preconceptions. As research findings show, there are strong stereotypes embedded in our social consciousness, and our first challenge is to unpick these."

At Happy Days Nursery we cater for children from 0-12 years old. Each child at different developmental stages benefits from appropriately furnished rooms which offer a stimulating and interactive environment. Both outdoor and indoor activities and facilities are regularly updated and reviewed. We also have specific arrangements for out of school children from 5-12 years old with facilities including arts and crafts, problem solving games, computer games, music, singing, baking and outdoor play. Extra activities and outings are arranged during the summer months and during holiday/bank holiday periods.


I hope y'all had an exquisite weekend! How I Did It: I started working out with a coach twice per week and doing cardio three or 4 instances every week on prime of that. I lower approach back on fried food, refined carbs, dairy and pink meat, and added in numerous fruits, veggies and lean protein. After a few months of being a health club rat, I took up operating so that I might work out outside. A little bit over a 12 months later, I've run three half-marathons, a marathon and numerous other shorter-distance races.
One other a part of it's that I've lost interest. As soon as your understanding of diet is complete, kind of, you attain some extent of radically diminishing returns – at this point, expanding your data additional in this realm, will not make an iota of difference to your degree of fitness. It is way more fruitful to enhance your coaching regimen and understanding thereof. That's my expertise.
Elina Helander, a postdoctoral researcher at Tampere University of Know-how in Finland, and her colleagues set out to reply a easy question: how does an individual's physique weight change over the course of the 12 months? To find out, they used web-related scales to collect day by day physique weight information from practically 3,000 volunteers in the United States, Germany, and Japan. After crunching the data, a hanging pattern emerged: it doesn't matter what you have a good time, at any time of year, the holidays are prone to be your interval of best weight gain.
Here, there is no such thing as a main discrepancy between the food consumption reported and the precise results. A contributing factor to the much more exact numbers obtained right here in comparison with the earlier study, I feel, lies in the fact that the themes had an excellent amount of weight coaching experience (5 years) and thus have been much more prone to know the ins and outs of what they have been consuming. If you've collected 5 years of weight training experience, it's inconceivable that you simply aren't conscious of what you're consuming – this is in stark distinction to the earlier examine by Tinsley et al, which featured learners with no weight coaching experience, and presumably matching weight loss plan expertise, which is to say none.
TRF typically includes a fasting period of sixteen-20 hours and a feeding period of 4-8 hours each day. The most studied form of TRF is Ramadan fasting, which entails approximately 1 month of full fasting (both food and fluid) from sunrise to sundown. Unsurprisingly, significant weight reduction happens, and this includes a discount in lean mass in addition to fats mass (eleven-12).

Detroit superintendent pleads for MHSAA to reinstate fall football in letter
Updated Aug 28, 2020; Posted Aug 28, 2020
Michigan High School football postponed until the Spring
By Jared Purcell | japurcell@mlive.com
Detroit Public Schools Community District superintendent Nikolai Vitti wants football reinstated to the fall and he pleaded his case in an open letter to the Michigan High School Athletic Association on Friday morning.
In a letter just over two pages long, Vitti listed support from 13 different district football coaches and said his request to reinstate fall football is "on behalf of our district's football coaches but also on behalf of countless players, coaches, and families who have reached out to me within Detroit and throughout the state about their frustration with the MHSAA's decision."
The MHSAA made the announcement to move the 2020 fall football season to the spring of 2021 two weeks ago on Aug. 14. Vitti wrote he and DPSCS athletic director James Alexander were both "shocked when the MHSAA made it's decision to move football to the spring. Vitti added the MHSAA only provided "vague reasons" after implying schools were taking the proper precautions in order to play football safely.
Detroit Martin Luther King football coach Tyrones Spencer is one of the 13 coaches listed in support of Vitti's letter, but Spencer said he did not see Vitti's letter until after it had been published on the district's website. Currently football teams are allowed 16 days of voluntary practice for use between Aug. 24-Oct. 31 with helmets and no pads. Spencer said he can't get all of his athletes motivated to come out to the practices because of the limitations.
"I mean, it's hard when you see Ohio playing football and making plays," Spencer said. "Indiana is playing and you're looking on Twitter like, 'Wow, these guys are actually playing ... it looks like regular old football.' At the same time, you want to make sure that the kids are safe and if we use the protocols in place, is that a way for us to be able to do it? But we want something. That's the thing. Can we get a 7-on-7 league? If football is not reinstated, can we have something that will have our kids tuned in and locked in on something?"
Vitti accused the MHSAA of deferring its responsibilities and placing blame on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and her fellow office representatives.
"Factually, nothing changed from a player's health perspective or risk analysis from strongly stating football would be played to it being postponed," Vitti wrote. "This has led everyone, including myself, to believe politics were played and that the MHSAA abdicated its responsibility to make athletic decisions and instead deferred to the Governor in closed door conversations instead of supporting student-athletes, coaches, and their families."
Geoff Kimmerly, the media and content coordinator at the MHSAA, disagrees with Vitti's notion of deferring decision-making responsibilities to the governor's office.
"At this point, I don't think we agree with the fact that we deferred," Kimmerly said. "Executive Order 160 completely states what activities can't take place right now. Everything we have done through the last month has been based on interpretations we've received from the governor's office that are related to that order.
"So, unless we wanted to instruct our schools to break the law, we are following the orders the governor's office has given us and we are continuing to work with her office moving forward on this. Obviously, we have questions that we want to have answered as soon as possible, but .... some of the questions that Dr. Vitti asked are some of the questions that we've been trying to work through as well."
Kimmerly also added the letter from Vitti is the most formal the MHSAA has received on the topic, but he also noted hundreds of other schools and officials at all levels of district administration have been presenting many questions and some concerns over the last two weeks.
Vitti closed his letter by suggesting the MHSAA give Gov. Gretchen Whitmer an ultimatum by passing a resolution to allow football to move forward.
"Pass a resolution to play in the fall and give the Governor two days to issue an (executive order) requiring it to be moved to the spring," Vitti wrote. "After that point, allow teams to begin practicing, with pads, for two-three weeks and then start competition. Shorten the season as you would in the spring and use the same format for the playoffs that you proposed. I struggle to understand what could be different in the spring that would allow the season to be played instead of now."
In response, Kimmerly said the MHSAA has been doing its best for the last five months to work with the governor's office and is not considering going against executive orders.
"That would obviously be taking things to another level," Kimmerly said. "But that is not what we've done at this point."
Kimmerly added the MHSAA's representative council intends to meet early afternoon today to bring everyone "up to speed" on various topics surrounding football, volleyball, boys soccer and girls swimming and diving.
"There are a lot of questions out there," Kimmerly said. "There are a lot of people who would like us to do one thing or the other. We're trying to represent our schools with the best direction we can take them. Of course we realize there are a lot of questions and frustrations out there. It's just a matter of wanting to do this process the correct way and the appropriate way. We're working right now to be good partners with everybody."

My last child has "left the nest" and I'm feeling very restless. I'm a well-educated woman who had a successful career before spending many years at home raising my family—who am I now and what do I do next?
I've asked myself these questions and I've also heard them a lot from women in my private practice. Maybe you are facing the same issue in your own life. In fact, there are around 40 million baby-boomer women in this country who are facing an empty nest (or soon will be). Research has shown that only about a third of these women want to return to work after their child-rearing years. For the rest of us, we're looking for something more, some new way to fulfill our potential or explore our hidden dreams.
Navigating this major life transition can be profoundly challenging, but with the right tools, I can show you how to build the most satisfying and fulfilling chapter of your life. The first thing to do is to find those things you are most passionate about and then put them into action. Let's begin by keeping an open mind and thinking about all of those things that make you happy.
Your children have launched. Your job of motherhood has been downsized drastically. Congratulations! This next chapter is all about you! You finally have the luxury of time to focus on your own needs and desires. How much time?
In a recent interview, Gloria Steinem was asked what she considers to be her greatest achievement. Steinem replied that she felt she hadn't had her greatest achievement yet and she was 75 years old at the time of the interview. She said she was planning to live to 100 and had all of these years left to do incredible things. The same is true for you. You still have time to go to medical school, become a Buddhist, or even learn to hang glide. Time is still on your side—you can do almost anything.
Just as we need to remind ourselves that we have the luxury of time, we need to remind ourselves that we have great potential. This is the moment to figure out who you really are, what you really want out of the rest of your life. Allow yourself to imagine the future and come up with those big dreams. Think of this time as a gift to yourself; really push yourself to consider all of the possibilities. This is no time for negative thoughts or even realistic objections to intrude on your thinking. You never know when one of those off the wall ideas may turn out to be your next step forward.
Try this exercise to get you started: Visualize what your perfect day would look like five years from now. Think about your day as if you were actually living it, being as specific as possible. Close your eyes and picture how every hour of your ideal day would be spent. Think of all the things that would make you happy, content, and energized. It's okay if your day has more than 24 hours! Just get all of your ideas out there and write them down.
Jot down things you see around you on TV, the Internet, podcasts, or magazines. Listen to what your friends are talking about. Read about other people and current events. Attend lectures, events, and parties you wouldn't normally attend. When you meet someone, find out what they do and what they like or don't like about it. Write down everything that interests you. Keep a journal on your nightstand and spend 15 minutes before bed writing ideas from your day. Get it all on the page—no hesitating or editing.
Do this everyday for one month. Then look over your ideas and try them on for size. Does anything particular strike you? Can you see any patterns to what you like? Does something appear over and over again? Remember: no negative thoughts allowed. Anything and everything is possible at this stage.
Start by asking yourself this question: What would I do if I knew for sure I couldn't fail? Many powerful ideas have been released by asking this simple question. Since we are still in the imagination phase, there is no room to consider fear of failure or other potential obstacles to your success, so push those thoughts aside. Ask yourself what you would choose to do if you were guaranteed success. Write down the answer and keep it handy because it will be very valuable later on.
Set aside time everyday to clear your mind and daydream. This can be done by meditation, taking a quiet bath, or engaging in a physical activity like yoga, taking a hike, or going for a swim. The important thing to remember is that you do it by yourself with no distractions (This includes music and cellphones!) The simple act of being alone with your thoughts can sometimes unleash new creativity and ideas. When you return home, be sure to write down any thoughts that occurred to you during this time. At the end of a month, look at your notes and see if you find any common themes. Pay special attention to those thoughts that make you happy.
After completing these five steps, it should be pretty clear what you are passionate about. Summarize your findings by making a passions list that is uniquely yours. Don't try to edit them down just yet, even if it seems insignificant or unworthy.
Now that you have some idea about your passions, it's time to begin discovering your talents and aptitudes. The idea here is to find out where something you are good at (your talent) intersects with something you love (your passion). It may be helpful to enlist a close friend to identify hidden talents that may not be so apparent to you. For instance, you may have a gift for spotting new clothing trends, interior decorating, project management, networking with people, problem solving, or spotting a thing of beauty. It may take some time, but write down whatever you come up with.
If you are having trouble coming up with your talents, you may want to try a test called the Brief Strengths test by noted psychologist Martin Seligman. It will give you an independent character assessment that will tell you what your strengths are. It's free but you need to register for it. I will be happy to send you the link along with some guidance as to how to make the best out of the test results if you leave me your email address below.
Thank you for sending me your email. I'll get back to you with your strengths assessment right away!
Once you know your talents, make a list and put it alongside your passions list. Look for possible connections between the two and see what ideas you can generate. One of these ideas will resonate more strongly than the others—that will become your goal.
Finding your passions and exploring your potential can be difficult if you try to go it alone. If you decide you could use some help and you live in the Westchester vicinity, why not give me a call so we can set up some time to talk. If you live elsewhere, I can help find a qualified psychotherapist near you.
