List of 'Salty Six' Foods May Surprise You
Author: Jenil Patel (Original Author: Jennifer Warner, WebMD)
Author: Monday, July 15th, 2013
It's not always the potato chips' or the salt shaker's fault. Most Americans get the bulk of their daily salt overload from everyday foods loaded with excess sodium.
A new report from the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association warns of surprisingly high sodium levels in the "salty six" common foods, including bread, cold cuts, pizza, and chicken.
Researchers say the average American takes in about 3,400 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day, more than twice the AHA's recommended limit of 1,500 mg.
But little of that excess salt comes from the salt shaker. Experts say more than 75% of people's salt comes from eating processed or restaurant foods.
"Excess sodium in our diets has less to do with what we're adding to our food and more to do with what's already in the food," says Linda Van Horn, PhD, RD, a research nutritionist at Northwestern University and an American Heart Association spokeswoman.
Eating too much salt contributes to a variety of health problems, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. It can also affect a person's physical appearance, causing puffiness, swelling, and bags under the eyes.
Hidden Salt in 'Salty Six'
In conjunction with today's National Healthy Eating Day, the AHA is highlighting the dangers of high sodium levels in common foods.
Researchers say the following "salty six" foods are the top sources for sodium in today's diets:
1. Bread and rolls - One piece of bread can have as much as 230 mg of sodium. That's 15% of the recommended daily amount. Although each serving may not sound like much, it can quickly add up throughout the day, with toast at breakfast, a sandwich at lunch, and a roll at dinner, etc.
2. Cold cuts and cured meats - Deli or pre-packaged turkey can have as much as 1,050 mg of sodium. It's added to most cooked and processed meats to reduce spoilage.
3. Pizza - One slice can have up to 760 mg of sodium. That means two slices accounts for a day's worth of salt.
4. Poultry - Packaged raw chicken often contains an added salt solution. Depending on how it's prepared the sodium level can quickly add up. Just 3 ounces of frozen and breaded chicken nuggets contains about 600 mg of sodium.
5. Soup - This cold-weather staple can contain a day's worth of sodium in a single bowl. One cup of canned chicken soup can have up to 940 mg of sodium.
6. Sandwiches - Breads and cured meats are already high in salt, and putting them together with salty condiments like ketchup and mustard can add up to more than 1,500 mg of sodium in a single sandwich.
The heart association's view on salt is not without controversy.
It's lower than the USDA limit of 2,300 mg of sodium per day for healthy adults. The USDA does call for the lower level of 1,500 mg for African-Americans, people who are older than age 51, and people who have high blood pressure.
In a paper published last week, the association defended its call for all Americans to drastically cut back on sodium to 1,500 milligrams, saying recent studies linking lower sodium diets to poor health have serious flaws.
Morton Satin, vice president for science and research at the Salt Institute, an industry group, disagrees with that view. He says the AHA review represents "spinning of evidence by committed advocates."
"The authors …. have banded together for the express purpose of maligning any and all evidence that does not support the conventional salt reduction agenda," Satin says.
But Marion Nestle, PhD, professor of nutrition, food studies, and public health at New York University, says consumers shouldn't be confused about sodium.
"The AHA paper is an example of the mainstream scientific view: Reducing salt intake is an important public health measure. Most salt comes from processed foods; reducing salt in processed -- and restaurant -- foods is a good idea," Nestle says.
How to Keep Salt in Check
Here are some tips to avoid salt overload:
Keep the "salty six" in mind when grocery shopping or ordering from a menu. Try having half a sandwich with a side salad rather than a whole sandwich, or limiting the cheese and adding extra veggies to pizzas.
Look for sodium levels in the nutrition facts label when grocery shopping, and calorie labeling information in restaurants.
Keep in mind that packaged foods like canned soup often contain more than one serving. Nutrition information like sodium content is based only one serving, so adjust accordingly.
Look for heart-healthy foods approved by the AHA labeled with a red heart and white checkmark.

Keep in mind the driving distance and the commute time from the work place and children's school.
Distance is not the only criteria while considering this but the traffic conditions are. You also should assess what your requirements are. How much space do you require? Do you want to be in the city center or suburbs? Do you prefer a single-family home, gated villa or apartment? Also, note that houses on main roads tend to be noisy (and dusty) through the day and sometimes even at night.
Diligence needs to be exercised in making sure that the proposed housing is sufficient in terms of electricity and water supply and phone connections. Make sure there are facilities for groceries, vegetables, meats and medicines close by.
Real estate in Delhi offers you a wide selection of accommodations, including gated communities with farmhouses, free-standing houses/bungalows and beautiful furnished and unfurnished high-rise apartment complexes that are available close to business and schools. The areas that are most preferred by expats are Vasant Vihar, Anand Niketan, Shanti Niketan, Chanakyapuri, Golf Links, Malcha Marg, Jor Bagh, Defense Colony, Greater Kailash, Hauz Khas, Vasant Kunj, Safdarjung Enclave, Panchsheel Park and Gulmohar Park, etc., all of which are in South Delhi. These areas are located near shopping areas, hospitals and movie theaters.
Typically, most expatriates prefer to rent.
A security deposit is usually equivalent to 3 to 6 months of the rent paid. Rentals are either paid monthly, quarterly, half yearly or 11 months in advance. There are no fixed norms and it differs from case to case.
For the most part, Delhi is a safe city, especially considering the number of people that call it home.
However, as with most cities, some areas are more desirable than others. This is usually evident in the cost of the accommodation. Before deciding where to live, make sure that the house or apartment has door and window protection and a reliable alarm system. Change all locks on doors and replace with new ones. It is also prudent to always lock your house and car when you are not there.
Also, it is recommended that you check local police reports before deciding on an area to live. These reports provide factual information on types of crimes and how often they occur. This will most likely be a determining factor on whether you choose to live in a certain neighborhood or not. One should be watchful that there are no drains around the house, as they can create a problem with mosquitoes.
The electric current for India is 220 volts. The electrical Hertz (Hz) is 50 hertz of power. You need to use an appropriate electrical converter if you wish to use any electrical and electronic appliances manufactured in the USA (110V).
Not all free-standing houses come with appliances. For an independent house, please note that you would need a generator (at least 1 guard).
The process of searching for suitable accommodation could take some time and is sometimes frustrating. Ideally, the process should be started a few weeks before the start of the assignment. A preview trip arranged through Crown New Delhi is highly recommended. It is a common practice that owners clean, paint and repair after the deal is finalized. If you opt to take a long-term lease (two to four years), you can request what you wish to be worked on. However, this practice often results in delays in moving into the house.
It might also be a good idea to negotiate with the owner to provide as many appliances (particularly air conditioners) as possible within the premises. As a norm, only the landlord is allowed to do any structural changes; the occupant or the signing corporate is not permitted to make such changes.


What is considered the best interest of the child?
On behalf of Bowen Ten Cardani, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, November 13, 2014.
In Virginia, there are several factors used to determine if a custody or visitation decision is in the best interests of a child. The first factor that is taken into account is the age of the child and the changing needs of the child as it gets older. The current physical and mental needs of the child are also taken into consideration when determining if an action is in his or her best interests.
The mental and physical condition of any parent who may visit or have custody of a child will be reviewed. Furthermore, the depth and quality of any relationship that exists between a parent and child will be examined. If a parent hasn't had a good or any relationship with a child in the past, a judge may consider whether that may change in the future.
Depending on the age and mental capacity of the child, the child may express a preference for who he or she wants to have contact with. However, this may be overruled if there is any history of sexual or physical abuse by one or both parents. In addition to the factors already listed, a judge may use any other factors that may be relevant to determining what is in the best interest of a child.
Parents who wish to have contact with their children may need to prove that it is in the best interest of the child. A family law attorney may be able to establish that a parent can provide a stable and safe environment for that child. In some cases, limited custody or visitation rights may be granted with the hopes of offering unlimited visitation or custody in the future.

The model above is a much simplified depiction of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Ilya Prigogine�s, work. He observed that although the second law of thermodynamics suggests that all systems are running down to a state of entropy or decay, this did not appear to be true of what he termed �open� systems. These are systems that are living and exchange energy with their environment, examples of these are people and companies. These �open� systems draw energy from their surroundings and deposit their waste. An obvious example of this is industrial pollution.
One significant element of his theory that is relevant to us in business is what he terms the Bifurcation Point [BP]. This where a system has reached a point of breakdown where it can take two different paths. Either it continues to degenerate, or reorganises itself into a new structure that can cope with the stresses that were previously causing it to fail. We have all probably lived through phases of company (and personal) history where things suddenly turned a corner and we recognised that there were new possibilities emerging (and also the converse, where the decay continued & got worse).
At the BP people either develop new neural connections within the brain, new insights, new ways of thinking and behaving or continue their downward vector.
In companies it is just the same pattern. The BP is where real breakthrough thinking happens, new ideas, new ways-of-working. This is where management commit to change; where new people (the natural leaders within the group) emerge. This is the point where people will no longer accept �We�ve always done it this way�.
All systems are in a constant state of change, whether we direct them or not. Holding a steady state takes a great deal of energy and is no long term strategy as it is doomed to failure. Growth or Decay are our only real choices, which do you choose? Both are painful; both consume resources and efforts, but the results are very different.
Is it common to hear �We�ve always done it this way� where you work? Do you say or think it?
How do you measure change in your business?
How often do you have a radical shift in your thinking, understanding or behaviour?
The BP is where need meets willingness. If you aren�t on the way up from it, then you are probably heading down to meet it, so be ready!
For people interested in change this is important because if our change programme is running out of steam, we need to either remove some of the negative conditions listed above or inject the positive ones.
Change is not only inherently risky, but we are hardwired to fear it. If we are saying that we think that things should change, then it means that they are not alright now! That implies criticism and possibly blame. We all have a strong need to believe not only that we are okay, but we are also safe. We constantly seek to create a stable situation that is �okay� and maintain it at all costs. However commercial life (and evolution) does not stand still and they do not allow us to, if we wish to succeed!
We have to be made to feel as safe as possible in this period of transition. This means communicate like crazy!
Any change program that does not recognise that change is more than just a project gant chart is doomed to failure. We have to create an environment in which the chances for change flourishing are significantly increased; in the same way we would propagate tender young seedlings. Ensuring that they had the right growing medium and where shielded from the rough elements before they were ready.
Do you know who your promising young (whatever their chronological age!) �seedlings� are? What are you doing to look after them? They are critical to your business. One example of Prigogine�s theories is the experience of the theatre audience. A few people start clapping and suddenly everyone is. This action of a few, changes the experience for everyone both in the audience and on the stage.
You don�t have to be Einstein to run a business but it certainly seems that a basic understanding of the laws of thermodynamics can help!


Those are great outfits. First and last are my favourites, it'd be nice to see either of them worn.
The first is my favourite, totally want to wear it sometime!
Haha that's fair enough! It's great that your most "limited" piece fits your dominant colour scheme.

Poll: Little Can Be Done to Persuade Unvaccinated Americans to Get the Shot
Change Research conducted the survey August 30 to September 2, days before President Biden's coronavirus address, where he announced sweeping vaccine mandates and scolded unvaccinated Americans, warning that "patience is running thin."
The survey found that the vast majority of unvaccinated Americans, 83 percent, do not plan on getting the jab. Moreover, the survey, taken among 1,775 respondents, also found that there is little that can be done to persuade them to do so. The vast majority, or 84 percent, of the unvaccinated, said they would not get the shot, even if the vaccines had no side effects, and 87 percent said employer mandates would not move them to take action either.
"Just 5% and 4% of respondents, respectively, said those things would make them 'much more likely' to change their minds, the survey shows," CNBC reported.
Just over one-third of unvaccinated respondents attributed their hesitancy to distrust of the federal government, and the same figure, 34 percent, cited concerns related to side effects. What is more, a majority of unvaccinated respondents, 53 percent, suggested they were "less likely" to get the vaccine following U.S. health officials advocating for booster shots. Additionally, just two percent said family pressure to get the shot would make a difference.
"Less than 10% of unvaccinated respondents said they would be more likely to get vaccinated if the delta variant were more problematic in their community, and 7% said they would get vaccinated if asked by Trump," CNBC reported.
The findings repeat the running theme that has emerged over the last several months, that those who remain unvaccinated are firm in their decision and will not be persuaded by government mandates or other forms of coercion. An Economist/YouGov survey released in early August wielded similar results.
As Breitbart News reported:
Only six percent of unvaccinated respondents said they would get the jab if their doctor urged them too, while 74 percent said they would not, and 20 percent remained unsure. Similarly, only four percent said they would get the jab if their state's governor urged them to, while 81 percent said no.
In what is perhaps more telling, 75 percent of the unvaccinated said they would not receive the jab, even if their employer required them.
Overall, the vast majority of unvaccinated Americans rejected the various scenarios of persuasion, which also included a $100 incentive, (78 percent said no), requirements for travel (75 percent said no), and a push from former President Donald Trump (84 percent said no). Even If the vaccines were fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), 58 percent said they would still not receive the jab, while 30 percent said they are not sure, and 13 percent said they would.
The survey comes as Biden pushes mass vaccine mandates on federal employees, as well as private businesses.
"My job as president is to protect all Americans," Biden said Thursday, announcing that the Department of Labor "is developing an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees that together employ over 80 million workers to ensure their work forces are fully vaccinated or show a negative test at least once a week."
Biden's announcement triggered backlash from Republican figures across the nation, who are now vowing to fight against the overreach.

All Coconuts used by Jenn Payne for her paintings are collected from the Shores of the islands & coast of North Queensland. Jenn selects the suitable coconuts & stores them until they have dried out inside so they will not shoot. She then cleans & primes the coconut & hand paints a fun tropical scene in acrylic paints before sealing it with a long life sealer. Most of the coconuts are mounted on a rope or sea grass mount to let them sit evenly. Your hand painted coconut will last indefinitely as long as it is kept out of the weather and not dropped or knocked about. UNFORTUNATELY we cannot send coconut art pieces OVERSEAS because of quarantine regulations.
A unique Tropical gift for that someone who is hard to buy for…you can bet they don't have a Painted Coconut!

Q: What is the correct formula for $ n $-dimensional spherical harmonics? In the Wikipedia article, the formula for $ n $-dimensional spherical harmonics is given as $$ Y_{\ell_1, ..., \ell_{n-1}}( \theta_1, \dots \theta_{n-1} ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} e^{i \ell_1 \theta_1} \prod_{j = 2}^{n-1} {}_j \bar{P}^{\ell_{j-1}}_{\ell_j}( \theta_j ) , $$
where the indices satisfy $ | \ell_1 | \le \ell_2 \le ... \le \ell_{n−1} $ and the eigenvalue is $ − \ell_{n-1} ( \ell_{n-1} + n − 2) $, i.e., $$ \Delta_{S^{n-1}} Y_{\ell_1, ..., \ell_{n-1}}( \theta_1, \dots \theta_{n-1} ) = - \ell_{n-1} ( \ell_{n-1} + n − 2) Y_{\ell_1, ..., \ell_{n-1}}( \theta_1, \dots \theta_{n-1} ) ,$$ where $ \Delta_{S^{n-1}} $ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the $ n $-sphere $ S^{n-1} $. The functions $ {}_j \bar{P}^{\ell_{j-1}}_{\ell_j}( \theta_j ) $ in the product are defined in terms of the Legendre function:
$$ {}_j \bar{P}^\ell_{L}( \theta ) = \sqrt{\frac{2L + j - 1}{2} \frac{(L + \ell + j - 2)!}{(L - \ell)!}} \sin^{\frac{2 - j}{2}}( \theta ) P^{-\left(\ell + \frac{j-2}{2}\right)}_{L+\frac{j-2}{2}}(\cos \theta) , $$
where $$ P^{-\mu}_{\gamma}( x ) = \frac{1}{\Gamma( 1 + \mu )} \left( \frac{1 - x}{1 + x} \right)^{\mu / 2} F\left( - \gamma , \gamma + 1; 1 + \mu; \frac{1 - x}{2} \right) , $$
and $ F\left( \alpha , \beta; \gamma; z \right) $ is the hypergeometric function.
However, in page 1554 in Higuchi (1987), a paper also cited in the Wikipedia article, the formula is given as $$ Y_{\ell_1, ..., \ell_{n-1}}( \theta_1, \dots \theta_{n-1} ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} e^{i \ell_1 \theta_1} \prod_{j = 2}^{n-1} {}_j \bar{P}^{\ell_{n-2}}_{\ell_j}( \theta_j ) , $$ where the difference is in the superscript of $ \bar{P} $ and all other quantities are same.
What is the correct formula for the $ n $-dimensional spherical harmonics?

Cater2.me Partners with Feeding America(R) to Help Provide 1.5 Million Meals to Communities Facing Hunger
By Daily Freeman | news@freemanonline.com |
NEW YORK, June 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Cater2.me is proud to announce their commitment to helping provide 1.5 million meals* to families facing hunger through their partnership with Feeding America(R), the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization. Starting this June, Cater2.me is helping to provide one meal to Feeding America for every meal served to corporate clients nationwide.
"We're proud to launch this initiative that aims to help families in need. The pandemic has caused many people to face hunger in the United States, and this issue only grows as we move into the summer months. After a challenging year, households are still trying to bounce back and many have children that will be out of school for the season, losing access to school lunch programs. We hope these meals can help ease the effects of the pandemic and continue to help communities facing hunger across the country," said Alex Lorton, Cater2.me's co-founder and co-CEO.
Through this program, half of Cater2.me's donations will be distributed to Feeding America, and the other half will be split between San Francisco-Marin Food Bank and New York City-based City Harvest, two Feeding America member food banks located in areas where Cater2.me has deep ties, having operated there for more than 10 years. These 1.5 million meals will help communities in need as they face unemployment and have difficulty paying bills like housing, utilities, and medical care.
"Hunger is an issue that impacts every community in our country. Feeding America projects that 1 in 8 people, including 1 in 6 children, may face hunger in 2021 as a result of the pandemic," said Lauren Biedron, Feeding America's vice president of corporate partnerships. "We are grateful to Cater2.me for joining us in the fight against hunger and for helping families who worry about where they will find their next meal."
Since its founding in 2010, Cater2.me's mission has been focused on supporting local communities by bringing great food service businesses into its clients' offices. This initiative is part of their ongoing community-focused commitment aimed at reducing food waste and combating food insecurity. Over the years, they have extended this support to include local partnerships with food rescue organizations like Food Runners, Replate and City Harvest as well as food banks like The Bowery Mission and other organizations combating food insecurity in their communities around the United States.
About Cater2.me
Cater2.me helps companies build community and improve their corporate culture through fully-managed, technology-enabled, food and beverage programs. Offering tailor-made programs for teams of all shapes and sizes, Cater2.me brings delicious food from the best local chefs and restaurants to organizations across the country. From planning to on-site setup and feedback collection, they manage every aspect of their clients' catering programs.
