The Wall Street station is a station on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. The station is located at the intersection of Broadway and Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan. It is served by the 4 train at all times and the 5 train at all times except late nights.
The Wall Street station was constructed for the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) as part of the city's first subway line, which was approved in 1900. Construction of the tunnel around the Wall Street station was complicated by the shallow foundations of the nearby Trinity Church, as well as the need to avoid disrupting the street surface of Broadway. The station opened on June 12, 1905, as an extension of the original line. The station's platforms were lengthened in the late 1950s, and it was renovated in the 1970s and 2000s.
The Wall Street station contains two side platforms and two tracks, and it was built with tile and mosaic decorations. The platforms contain exits to Broadway's intersections with Wall and Rector Streets, outside Trinity Church, and into the basements of several buildings. An additional passageway extends east to an out-of-system connection with the Broad Street station and the basement of 28 Liberty Street. The original station interior is a New York City designated landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Construction and opening
Planning for a subway line in New York City dates to 1864.[8]: 21 However, development of what would become the city's first subway line did not start until 1894, when the New York State Legislature authorized the Rapid Transit Act.[8]: 139–161 The subway plans were drawn up by a team of engineers led by William Barclay Parsons, chief engineer of the Rapid Transit Commission.[7]: 3 The Rapid Transit Construction Company, organized by John B. McDonald and funded by August Belmont Jr., signed the initial Contract 1 with the Rapid Transit Commission in February 1900,[9] in which it would construct the subway and maintain a 50-year operating lease from the opening of the line.[8]: 165 In 1901, the firm of Heins & LaFarge was hired to design the underground stations.[7]: 4 Belmont incorporated the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) in April 1902 to operate the subway.[8]: 162–191
Several days after Contract 1 was signed, the Board of Rapid Transit Railroad Commissioners instructed Parsons to evaluate the feasibility of extending the subway south to South Ferry, and then to Brooklyn. On January 24, 1901, the Board adopted a route that would extend the subway from City Hall to the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR)'s Flatbush Avenue terminal station (now known as Atlantic Terminal) in Brooklyn, via the Joralemon Street Tunnel under the East River.[10]: 83–84 [11]: 260–261 Contract 2, giving a lease of 35 years, was executed between the commission and the Rapid Transit Construction Company on September 11, 1902. Construction began at State Street in Manhattan on November 8, 1902.[8]: 162–191 The section of the Contract 2 subway tunnel under the southernmost section of Broadway, between Battery Park and City Hall, was contracted to Degnon-McLean Contracting Company.[12]
Contract 2 specified that traffic upon the streets of lower Manhattan not be disrupted.[11]: 261 At its shallowest, the tunnel would be only 4 or 5 feet (1.2 or 1.5 m) below the bottoms of the street car conduits along Broadway.[12] Accordingly, the contractor proposed replacing the pavement with a planked roadway and excavating beneath this temporary surface. To address concerns that leakage from the gas mains beneath the roadway and within the excavation would produce a devastating explosion, the contractor moved the pipes to above the street.[11]: 261 [12] Furthermore, precautionary measures had to be undertaken during the construction of the tunnel in front of Trinity Church, adjacent to the Wall Street station. The spire of the church rested upon a shallow masonry foundation built upon a deep layer of fine sand. The spire's foundation was 9 feet (2.7 m) behind the subway tunnel's exterior wall, and the bottom of the spire foundation was 9 feet (2.7 m) below street level, much shallower than the subway's 24-foot-deep (7.3 m) foundation. Accordingly, the 57-foot (17 m) tunnel nearest the spire's foundation was constructed in three sections, and steel channels were used as sheet piling around the subway excavation. After the excavation was completed, these steel channels were left in place to prevent the soil from settling. No "measurable or movement of the spire" occurred during or after construction.[11]: 261
The Wall Street station opened on June 12, 1905, as a one-stop extension of the original subway from Fulton Street.[13][14] The station's opening contributed to the growth of Wall Street, which had become the center of Manhattan's Financial District at the beginning of the 20th century.[2]: 10
Station modifications
Decorated ceiling elements
To address overcrowding, in 1909, the New York Public Service Commission proposed lengthening platforms at stations along the original IRT subway.[15]: 168 As part of a modification to the IRT's construction contracts, made on January 18, 1910, the company was to lengthen station platforms to accommodate ten-car express and six-car local trains. In addition to $1.5 million (equivalent to $41.7 million in 2020) spent on platform lengthening, $500,000 (equivalent to $13,887,500 in 2020) was spent on building additional entrances and exits. It was anticipated that these improvements would increase capacity by 25 percent.[16]: 15 The northbound platform at the Wall Street station was extended 165 feet (50 m) to the south, while the southbound platform was extended 135 feet (41 m) to the north. The southbound platform extension required installing new girders and columns at Trinity Church, while the northbound platform extension abutted the basements of adjacent properties.[16]: 117 On January 23, 1911, ten-car express trains began running on the East Side Line, and the next day, ten-car express trains began running on the West Side Line.[15]: 168 [17]
In 1910, the IRT reported that a passageway would be constructed to the basement of the planned Equitable Office Building, on the east side of Broadway, just north of the Wall Street station.[18] That office building was proposed in 1908 on the site of the Equitable Life Building,[19] which ultimately burned down in 1912.[20] An agreement was signed between the IRT, the Equitable Building Corporation, and the city in January 1915, providing for a passageway from the building's basement to the northern ends of both platforms. Construction of the passageways started in October 1915.[21] The entrance to the Equitable Building, as well as others to 7 Wall Street and 65 Broadway, opened in 1917.[22] One block south of the Equitable Building, the Irving Trust Company started developing a skyscraper at 1 Wall Street, at the southwest corner of Broadway and Wall Street, in 1930.[23] That March, Irving Trust signed an agreement with the IRT to build three new entrances to the Wall Street station on Broadway and another entrance in 1 Wall Street's basement.[24] Two entrances to the northbound platform opened in March 1931, after 1 Wall Street was completed. One entrance led to the building's basement, while another led to New Street through a passageway in the building.[25]
In late 1959, contracts were awarded to extend the platforms at Bowling Green, Wall Street, Canal Street, Spring Street, Bleecker Street, Astor Place, Grand Central–42nd Street, 86th Street, and 125th Street to 525 feet (160 m).[26] In April 1960, work began on a $3,509,000 project (equivalent to $30.7 million in 2020) to lengthen platforms at seven of these stations to accommodate ten-car trains.[27] To accommodate the project, the Trinity Building entrance at 111 Broadway was closed from July 1960 to July 1962.[28] The entire platform-lengthening project was substantially completed by November 1965.[29]
In 1979, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the space within the boundaries of the original station, excluding expansions made after 1904, as a city landmark. The station was designated along with eleven others on the original IRT.[7][30] During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the station was renovated; much of the original wall surface on the northbound platform was covered by glossy dark blue tiles about 0.5 inches (13 mm) thick.[2]: 6 The renovation preserved the station name plaques and mosaics.[2]: 6 [31] The Wall Street station's renovation was the first of six projects under the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)'s Adopt-a-Station program. Fundraising efforts were led by the Downtown Lower Manhattan Association, which enlisted support from the Chase Manhattan Bank and American Express, two companies whose buildings were directly served by the station.[32]
On January 6, 1994, Automated Fare Collection turnstiles went into service at this station and at the Whitehall Street station.[33] In 1995, as a result of service reductions, the MTA was considering permanently closing one of the two Wall Street stations, as well as two other stations citywide, due to their proximity to each other. Either the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line station or the IRT Lexington Avenue Line station would have been closed.[34] Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, the Wall Street station was closed for nine days.[35]
The original interiors were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[2] The MTA commenced a project to renovate the station and restore its original appearance in 2006. During this renovation, the blue tiles were removed and remnants of the original white tilework were exposed. The condition of the original tiles ranged between fair, poor, and completely missing. All missing tiles were refitted based on original models.

B2 Crossunders Transfer between platforms, passageway to Broad Street
Wall Street has two tracks and two side platforms. The 4 train stops here at all times,[36] while the 5 train stops here at all times except late nights.[37] The platforms were originally 350 feet (110 m) long, as at other Contract 2 stations,[7]: 4 [2]: 3 but were lengthened during the 1959 expansion of the station.[26] The northbound platform was extended southward and became 523 feet (159 m) long, while the southbound platform was extended northward and became 583 feet (178 m) long. There are two underpasses between the platforms, one each at the northern and southern ends of the southbound platform, which lead respectively to a passageway and to the center of the northbound platform.[2]: 16

As with other stations built as part of the original IRT, the station was constructed using a cut-and-cover method.[11]: 237 The tunnel is covered by a "U"-shaped trough that contains utility pipes and wires. The bottom of this trough contains a foundation of concrete no less than 4 inches (100 mm) thick.[2]: 3–4 [38]: 9 Each platform consists of 3-inch-thick (7.6 cm) concrete slabs, beneath which are drainage basins. The original platforms contain circular, cast-iron Doric-style columns away from the platform edge, spaced every 15 feet (4.6 m), while the platform extensions contain I-beam columns near the platform edge. Additional columns between the tracks, spaced every 5 feet (1.5 m), support the jack-arched concrete station roofs.[2]: 3–4 [7]: 4 [38]: 9 The ceiling height varies based on whether there are utilities in the ceiling.[2]: 5–6 There is a 1-inch (25 mm) gap between the trough wall and the platform walls, which are made of 4-inch (100 mm)-thick brick covered over by a tiled finish.[2]: 3–4 [38]: 9
The fare control areas are at platform level. The walls along the platforms near the fare control areas consist of a pink marble wainscoting on the lowest part of the wall, with bronze air vents along the wainscoting, and white glass tiles above. The platform walls are divided at 15-foot (4.6 m) intervals by pink marble pilasters, or vertical bands. In the original portion of the station, each pilaster is topped by blue-and-green tile plaques, which contain the letter "W" surrounded by a Greek key carving. Above these "W" plaques are faience mosaics that depict a New Amsterdam step-gabled house with the palisade wall in front of it, a reference to the namesake of Wall Street. These mosaics are topped by blue faience swags and are connected by a faience cornice with scrolled and foliate detail. This decorative design is extended to the fare control areas adjacent to the original portions of the station. White-on-blue tile plaques with the words "Wall Street" and floral motifs are also placed on the walls.[2]: 5–6 [7]: 7 The platform extensions contain similar decorative elements.[2]: 5 The ceilings contain plaster molding.[2]: 5 [38]: 10
Old wooden ticket booth
On the southbound platform are a disused oak token booth, the last of its kind in the New York City Subway system, which is just south of the stairs leading to Wall Street. The booth is separated into panels that are slightly chamfered from each other. Above the paneling at the base of the token booths are windows, some with brass scrollwork screens. A ticket chopper is north of the token booth. Beneath the street stairs leading to Wall Street are wooden doorways that formerly led to men's and women's restrooms, with corresponding marble lintels.[2]: 6
Also on the platforms are Lariat Tapers, which are bronze loops attached to the columns to serve as seating. These were designed by James Garvey in 2011, as a follow-up to his Lariat Seat Loops at 33rd Street, commissioned in 1997.[39]

The exits for the southbound platform are on the west side of Broadway. At the southern end of the platform, two stairs are built into the facade of 71 Broadway, south of Rector Street, with one stair on either side of that building's main entrance. These staircases combine into one wide stairway that leads down to platform level.[40][2]: 4–5 Another exit just north of Rector Street leads to two street stairs, which ascend to the western side of Broadway at Wall Street, outside the Trinity Churchyard fence.[40][2]: 6 These street stairs retain cast-iron hoods with leaf patterns, which are part of the original design; the Wall Street station is one of two stations to retain such hoods, the other being the Borough Hall station in Brooklyn.[2]: 10 At the north end of the station a street exit is built into the side of the Trinity Building at 111 Broadway. It has an opulent brass-toned banner proclaiming "Subway Entrance" atop the entrance, which is half a flight below ground. The exit also has a Subway restaurant outside fare control.[41][40]
There are numerous closed exits along the southbound platform. Within the fare control area at the south end of the station, a passageway led to the American Express Building at 65 Broadway, adjacent to the stair to 71 Broadway.[2]: 16 [42] At the extreme southern end of the platform was a passageway to the Adams Express Building at 61 Broadway, which opened along with that building in 1915[43] and was closed after 1944.[44] At the extreme northern end, next to the 111 Broadway entrance, another exit extended to the United States Realty Building at 115 Broadway, though this exit was closed sometime after 1947.[45]
On the northbound side, three staircases lead to the east side of Broadway near Rector Street. Here, a closed-off passageway led to the basement of 1 Wall Street.[40][2]: 4–5 These street staircases contain relatively simple, modern steel railings like those seen at most New York City Subway stations.[2]: 7 The north end of the platform leads to a tunnel which connects on the left to a crossunder, and on the right to a passageway exiting fare control. The passageway outside fare control leads into the basement of the Equitable Building and continues to a street staircase at Cedar and Nassau Streets (28 Liberty Street) on the left. There is a connection to the Broad Street station (J and Z trains) and the Wall Street/William Street station (2 and 3 trains) on the right.[40]

In Early February fight fans will get the chance to see a stacked card, with a supporting bout between Hurrican Futa and Vage Sarukhanyan, who battle in a bout for the WBC International Lightweight title. The bout isn't the main event, but does have it's own poster, which looks pretty neat and looks to be a poster that has a very clear Russia Vs Japan theme. It's simple, but eye catching.

The Rise Of China's Sports Economy
Robert Tuchman Contributor
I write about live events, deals, and brand marketing.
China's love affair with the modern day sports market can be traced back to 1966 during the country's Cultural Revolution. Basketball found its popularity rather quickly in mainland China and today, it's estimated that more than 18% of athletically-engaged Chinese people play basketball. B ut there is no greater indication for basketball's popularity in China than the presence of the NBA in rising sales for sports apparel. By 2017, basketball's popularity in the world's most populous country exploded leaving China as the largest international market for the NBA. Superstars of the NBA further illustrate just how important basketball is to the Chinese.
In July, All-Stars Stephen Curry and Kyrie Irving made their way to Beijing to play the roles of ambassador for their respective footwear lines. Curry, who represents Under Armour, has become the face of the apparel company. According to the company, while international sales of Under Armour products account for about 15% of the company's business, international sales numbers improved by 60% last year. Asia-Pacific revenues also increased 60% in the first quarter of this year.
Irving's popularity in China has helped the NBA champion Guard further Nike's presence in China. By March of this year, Nike sales totaled $8.4 billion, up 7% on a currency-neutral basis. Of that, the Nike brand accounted for $7.9 billion, driven by primarily by the 15% sales growth in China.
Nike reported a growth in sales of 9.5% to over $1 billion. In 2016, Adidas' sales grew by 22% to approximately $3 billion in China. According to a Euromonitor study, with $28.4 billion in sales, China's sporting goods industry is the second biggest market in the world behind the USA with sales of $103.6 billion. In terms of growth, China's 11% is significantly higher than the 5% recorded in the rest of the world.
BEIJING, CHINA - JULY 03: NBA Player Dwyane Wade answers media questions during a promotion event of Chinese sports brand Li Ning on July 3, 2013 in Beijing, China. (Photo by Feng Li/Getty Images)
Curry and Irving were not the only NBA All-Stars to travel to China. Dwyane Wade, one of the most popular NBA players in China, traveled throughout the country on behalf of Li-Ning to promote his brand, Way of Wade. Wade was ahead of the curve signing a shoe deal with Chinese company Li-Ning back in 2012. Wade has made an impact on fellow players and teammates as ten NBA players wore Li-Ning last season and seven of them wore Wade's signature shoes.
It is not only basketball that is having a tremendous effect on the Chinese sports market. Currently, China's government is implementing a wide range of reforms to support the sports industry. Within the framework of the national fitness plan (which is to be implemented by 2020), the Chinese government plans to use sports to advance all sectors in the country, including industry, state, and society. President Jinping wants to see the construction of 70,000 new soccer pitches by 2020 and a huge drive for more co-operation with international associations and clubs. The sports market has seen an explosion in China due in large part to a massive consumption of cultural activities from a rising middle class population.
China's presence in the sports market is no apparition. It is clear that China's economic boom is having a major influence on the availability of capital that many potential investors are using to invest in building a new sports industry empire in the Far East.

Q: What is the most effective way to make unzipped copy of a gzipped file on GCS? We have a lot of gzipped files on our gcs. To speed up out dataflow job we would like to make an unzipped copy of the files, dataflow TextIO isn't that fast with zipped files.
I'm trying to figure out what the most effective way is to make an unzipped copy of the file on gcs.
As a start I thought I would just start to write a simple download program, but I fail to get the same performance as gsutil have.
So accepted answers to this question would be an example of how to make a super, hopefully simple, download of files from gcs, or how to copy and unzip on the fly on gcs.

A: You could implement an App Engine or Compute Engine application that processes object change notifications from GCS, so it discovers newly uploaded gzip files and reads/writes the corresponding unzipped file into GCS. This would probably be faster than downloading to your corporate network and reuploading (depending on the speed of your Internet connection).

Hayao Miyazaki (Miyazaki Hayao, born January 5, 1941) is a Japanese manga artist and prominent film director and animator of many popular anime feature films. Through a career that has spanned nearly five decades, Miyazaki has attained international acclaim as a maker of animated feature films and, along with Isao Takahata, co-founded Studio Ghibli, an animation studio and production company. The success of Miyazaki's films has invited comparisons with American animator Walt Disney, British animator Nick Park as well as Robert Zemeckis, who pioneered Motion Capture animation, and he has been named one of the most influential people by Time Magazine. Miyazaki began his career at Toei Animation as an in-between artist for Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon where he pitched his own ideas that eventually became the movie's ending. He continued to work in various roles in the animation industry over the decade until he was able to direct his first feature film Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro which was published in 1979. After the success of his next film, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, he co-founded Studio Ghibli where he continued to produce many feature films until Princess Mononoke whereafter he temporarily retired. While Miyazaki's films have long enjoyed both commercial and critical success in Japan, he remained largely unknown to the West until Miramax released his 1997 film, Princess Mononoke. Princess Mononoke was the highest-grossing film in Japan—until it was eclipsed by another 1997 film, Titanic—and the first animated film to win Picture of the Year at the Japanese Academy Awards. Miyazaki returned to animation with Spirited Away. The film topped Titanic's sales at the Japanese box office, also won Picture of the Year at the Japanese Academy Awards and was the first anime film to win an American Academy Award. Miyazaki's films often incorporate recurrent themes, such as humanity's relationship to nature and technology, and the difficulty of maintaining a pacifist ethic. Reflecting Miyazaki's feminism, the protagonists of his films are often strong, independent girls or young women. Miyazaki is a vocal critic of capitalism and globalization.[3] While two of his films, The Castle of Cagliostro and Castle in the Sky, involve traditional villains, his other films such as Nausicaa or Princess Mononoke present morally ambiguous antagonists with redeeming qualities.

Q: Change color of selected NSTabView Tab for OS X App I'm working on an OS X application with Xcode and swift, and I am trying to get the color of the clicked NSTabView to change from it's default blue color. I can't seem to find much information on this, and when I do it is really old. It seems like it is much easier to make changes with iOS, but I specifically need changes on my OS X App in Swift.

A: Can you not do it within Interface Builder?

A: I have done that by changing the colour of window where I am switching from one tab to other.
    [windowMain setBackgroundColor:[NSColor grayColor]];

The best advice for anyone trying to lose weight is to watch what they eat and switch to a cleaner diet. No one has ever lost any weight without changing their diet. It is understandable that someone who has lived their entire life on a junk food diet will find it impossible to quit it. In United States, junk food addiction ranks fourth on the list in the top 10 addiction lists.
Luckily, it does not take a long time to begin eating healthy and change your life in a few months time. In this post, We have listed 15 best foods for weight loss and a healthy body. Most of the foods on this list are easy to find in your nearest supermarket. So, add these to your shopping list and also to our daily diet.
Spouts are seeds with shoots coming out of them; due to the process of germination. They provide immense benefits when consumed raw or cooked and are one of the best foods for weight loss. The germination of raw seeds is not very complicated. To get perfectly edible sprouts, first rinse a decent quantity of seeds like fenugreek, lentil, pea, chickpeas, mung bean, soybean, etc and then soak them in water overnight.
Sprouts are a rich source of fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Furthermore, they also contain chlorophyll and other natural enzymes which help remove toxins from the body and also aid in weight loss.
This South American fruit is mostly consumed raw in the form of salads or juices. It is a rich source of Vitamin A, magnesium and Vitamin C. To reap its complete benefits, it is recommended to eat papaya in the morning on an empty stomach.
This low calorie and fiber-rich fruit leave you feeling full and makes you eat less. It also helps in better digestion which is essential for weight loss.
Egg white is the outer white colored portion of the egg when boiled or the clear transparent liquid in the raw egg. It should be noted that egg whites are full of proteins, in fact, they contain approximately 60 percent of protein in the entire egg.
It's a proven fact that the consumption of such natural proteins is one of the best ways of losing body-fat. Also, you burn more calories when digesting proteins than when digesting the same amount of carbohydrates. Hence, you lose more weight than you gain it as you are required to eat less throughout the day.
Egg whites are also very low on calories. Along with some green vegetables and fruits, they can be easily had as a part of breakfast or lunch. This is another reason why egg whites are one of the best foods for weight loss.
Green leafy vegetables like Kale and Spinach are rich with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and dietary fiber. Consumption of these green leafy vegetable do not directly lead to weight loss but it helps immensely to add them to your diet; especially when you are exercising to lose weight.
The nutrients in it are perfect supplements for maintaining a healthy low-fat body. Moreover, having spinach juice every day can help make up for the Vitamin and Mineral losses that exercising has caused.
Apple cider is an acetic acid solution made from fermented apple juice. It is rich with an essential mineral micronutrient called Potassium; which is the main ingredient in it that aids weight loss.
A glass of water with a couple of teaspoons of apple cider vinegar added to it is one of the best foods for weight loss as it sheds excess water from the body and also maintains salinity levels. It is recommended to drink 2-3 glasses of water with apple cider vinegar every day before meals.
Recent research done on mice suggested that the consumption of Nipa vinegar( made from palm tree; contains the same level of acetic acid as in apple cider vinegar) reduces the body weight (BW) and fat pad/BW ratio of obese mice. In this study, the Malaysian scientists also noticed the reduction of inflammation levels in mice.
Chicken breasts are a great source of lean protein; they contain very less fat. So, combined with veggies or egg whites they can be one of the best foods for weight loss.
Weight-loss actually occurs due to a calorie deficit in the body. And eating low-fat protein foods keep you feeling full and healthy.
This is another South American food that keeps your weight in check and your bones strong. Its high fiber content is what makes Chia one of the best foods for weight loss. Moreover, the healthy fats in it keeps you from craving for more food and prevent a sudden crash. Hence, it is also known for its appetite suppressing qualities.
One tablespoon of Chia seed contains approximately 5 grams of fiber. So, it recommended eating two tablespoons of it daily; which will take care of half of your fiber needs.
Oatmeal is a popular American breakfast which is known for providing a quick burst of energy that lasts for hours. Due to its high protein content, oats are also consumed by health fanatics and bodybuilders in the form of bars. Typically, one sugarless bar consists of 20 grams of protein, a few grams of carbohydrates and almost zero fat.
Oats are available in other forms like rolled, steel-cut and instant. Oatmeal when prepared with banana slices and some healthy nuts can be stored in the freezer and consumed two or three times a day. Similar to other weight loss foods, oats also keep you feeling fuller and prevent you from eating excess food.
Avocado is a large fleshy berry which originates from Mexico. They are loaded with healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and very low in saturated fats. This is what makes avocado one of the best foods for weight loss. Also, they are part of the staple food in Mexico and some parts of the United States.
Unlike saturated fats, the healthy unsaturated fats do not get deposited in the body and, in fact, they prevent cholesterol from getting clogged in the arteries. So, don't be afraid to add some fresh avocados to your daily diet.
The green coffee extract has been used as a weight loss supplement since ages and is very popular among the fitness community. The extract from unroasted coffee beans when they are green in color is taken out and made available in the form of powder and capsules.
The high amount of chemical chlorogenic acid present in green coffee leads to weight loss. It also contains a small amount of caffeine which helps boost the metabolism by a significant amount. However, the dosage of this extract is not very fixed. It is better to follow the dosage instructions given by your fitness trainer or as mentioned on the product.
Kale, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and Bok choy are some of the easily available cruciferous vegetables all over North America. They are very rich with Vitamin C and dietary fiber. Cruciferous vegetables when juiced with some spices they are one of the best foods for weight loss and good health in general.
If juicing is not your style than these vegetables can make a great salad when sauteed with some olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Cereals are any grain that grows on grass. Rice, maize, corn, wheat, barley, sorghum, Italian millet, and oats are some of the common cereals available in the market. In developed countries like the United States and Australia, cereal is available in ready to eat pack.
However, for weight loss purposes it is recommended to cook whole grain instead of buying the ready-to-eat cereal. But if you are in a hurry and it's not possible to cook, you can go for special weight loss cereal available in the market. Some people like with skimmed milk, slices of banana and organic honey added to it.
Dark chocolate is considered the healthiest of all the chocolates. Neuroscientist Will Clower, Ph.D. in his book "Eat Chocolate, Lose Weight" promises that you can cut your appetite by 60 percent by eating dark chocolate 20 minutes before and 5 after lunch and dinner.
Dr. Clower has done numerous experiments with his clients and has debunked the myth about dark chocolate being junk food. His clients lost up to 20 pounds in just 2 weeks and also reduced their appetite and food cravings.
Another research by the University of Helsinki has confirmed that consumption of dark chocolate does not affect blood pressure and cause cardiovascular diseases. In conclusion, moderate consumption of dark chocolate aids weight loss by reducing appetite and food cravings.
Technically not a nut, Almond is a seed that has a nutty taste. They are now available world-wide but were originally cultivated in middle eastern countries only. Almonds are a rich source of Vitamin E, calcium and potassium. They also are high in healthy polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. These fats are very filling and take longer to digest. Hence, your body uses them whenever you are hungry and, as a result, you eat less.
Recent research by Purdue University confirmed that almonds are safe for daily consumption and does not change body composition. Moreover, they also concluded that having almonds daily reduces food intake from other sources.
Tuna is saltwater fish available in both fresh and frozen form. It is one of the main ingredients in the popular Japanese delicacy called "sushi". Fresh Tuna is high in protein and its satisfying taste keeps foodies away from carbohydrates in junk food. However, it is not recommended to consume canned tuna(which is widely available in North America) as it is high in Sodium content.
So, melt away those extra pounds with these foods as they are the only natural remedy to weight loss. It should be noted that, with the inclusion of these healthy foods to your diet, it's also important to cut out any kind of high carbohydrate or junk food that you may be previously habituated to eating.

Along-side cellar doors: As you walk down the stairs, is your house to be on the left or the right? These doors can be built either way, "right-legged" or "left-legged."
Angle on angle cellar doors: Occasionally, you need an angle door on an angled foundation.
Angled cellar doors: Similar to angle on angle cellar doors, these doors can provide a sloped frame with sides for level foundations.
B-style cellar doors: The b-style door comes with a raised threshold to accommodate higher grade.
Corner cellar doors: Corner doors, or "one-legged" doors, are used on homes where one side of the cellar stairwell is also the side of the house and therefore there is no foundation upon which to mount the cellar door frame.
Flat cellar doors: A flat cellar door is used on an existing foundation that is already on an angle. Typically, the existing sloped walls are masonry.
Crawl space/well-pit doors: Our crawl space doors feature 100 percent steel construction, fully-welded joints, spring-assisted hinges, multi-coat iron oxide primer, and a weathertight design.
We install high-quality crawl space entranceways, cellar hatchways, and cellar bulkheads.
A galvanized steel door will outlast a powder-coated steel door any day of the week.

'Please Release Nnamdi Kanu' – Bianca Ojukwu Begs Buhari
Former Nigerian Ambassador to Spain, Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, has pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari to release Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Mrs Ojukwu made the plea while speaking at the 10th memorial anniversary of late Igbo leader, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, organised in Owerri on Friday.
She urged the President to consider the plea made by some Igbo leaders during their recent visit to the State House, Abuja, asking for Kanu's release.
She said that Kanu's release would demonstrate Buhari's magnanimity, adding that the clamour for secession is a direct consequence of perceived inequality in distribution of resources and political appointments in the country.
She, however, urged governors of the South East geo-political zone to remember Ojukwu just as the convener of the event, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra.
"Kanu's release will further buttress President Buhari's commitment to healing the wounds inflicted by the sense of marginalisation felt by the Igbo nation," she said.
Speaking, Mr Ahamefula Ojukwu, chairman of the occasion and son of the late Igbo leader, thanked Uwazuruike for conducting the affairs of the entire Igbo nation in unity.
He urged Igbo people, especially those privileged to occupy positions of authority, to preserve the legacies of his late father whom he described as "an embodiment of selfless service and sacrifice to the Igbo cause".
Earlier in an address, Dr Nkem Okeke, Deputy Governor of Anambra, decried the use of violence in the quest for self determination.
He implored Igbo people to be united and fight diplomatically so as to achieve a set objective.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the event was attended by various Igbo groups from the South-East and South-South geo-political zones of the country.
A highlight of the event was the cultural dances and traditional masquerade performances by various troupes.

What Scientists Know About the New Covid Variant, B.1.1.529

Nov. 26, 2021Updated 12:15 p.m. ET
Scientists are still unclear on how effective vaccines will be against the new variant flagged by a team in South Africa, which displays mutations that might resist neutralization. Only several dozen cases have been fully identified so far in South Africa, Botswana, Hong Kong and Israel.
The new variant, B.1.1.529, has a "very unusual constellation of mutations," with more than 30 in the spike protein alone, according to Tulio de Oliveira, director of the KwaZulu-Natal Research and Innovation Sequencing Platform.
The variant shares similarities with the Lambda and Beta variants, which are associated with an innate evasion of immunity, said Richard Lessells, an infectious diseases specialist at the KwaZulu-Natal Research and Innovation Sequencing Platform.
"All these things are what give us some concern that this variant might have not just enhanced transmissibility, so spread more efficiently, but might also be able to get around parts of the immune system and the protection we have in our immune system," Dr. Lessells said.
The new variant has largely been detected among young people, the cohort that also has the lowest vaccination rate in South Africa. Just over a quarter of those ages between 18 and 34 in South Africa are vaccinated, said Dr. Joe Phaahla, the country's minister of health.
While cases of the variant are mainly concentrated in the country's economic hub, particularly in the country's administrative capital, Pretoria, it is "only a matter of time" before the virus spreads across the country as schools close and families prepare to travel for the holiday season, Dr. Phaahla said.

Wikipedia Now Accepts Bitcoin Donations
Jul 30 2014 · 20:18 UTC | Updated Dec 22 2015 · 14:16

Wikipedia's parent company, the Wikimedia Foundation, now accepts bitcoin donations thanks to a partnership with payment processor Coinbase.
Wikipedia, an online free encyclopedia, announced it started accepting bitcoin through bitcoin wallet and payment processor Coinbase. The new were revealed on the official blog of the Wikimedia Foundation, an owner of Wikipedia.
According to the organization, the demand for digital currency support led to the discussion on the leadership level.
The move is notable as the Wikimedia Foundation earlier expressed distrust in the digital currency. The company announced it started discussing bitcoin donations in March, but Wikimedia's co-founder Jimmy Wales then said it was taking a "cautious" approach.
The organization always wanted to make donations as simple as possible given millions of people all over the world supporting the Wikimedia Foundation through donations.
Wikimedia chief revenue officer Lisa Gruwell wrote in the blog post: "Currently, we accept 13 different payment methods enabling donations from nearly every country in the world, and today, we're adding one more: bitcoin."
The Wikimedia Foundation was encouraged to accept bitcoin by the recent guidance issued by the US Internal Revenue Service, which defines the status of digital currency. Moreover, there were a lot of asks from the community members to start using the cryptocurrency.
The organization sent a separate e-mail for Wikipedia supporters, saying that it is aiming at providing flexible payment options for those who donate to the company. The Wikimedia Foundation noted that bitcoin integration will offer encyclopedia supporters various donation options.
The prior apprehension was due to the operational complexity and uncertainties relating the legal status of bitcoin.
The Wikimedia Foundation noted that partnership with Coinbase will help to avoid some logistical needs that come with the virtual currency, including the need to exchange bitcoin for fiat currency.
The blog post reads: "Using Coinbase, a bitcoin exchange, we're able to immediately convert bitcoin to U.S. dollars, requiring minimal technical implementation on our end. Since we now also have guidance on how to account for bitcoin, there is a clear understanding of how to legally manage it."
In an interview to CoinDesk, Coinbase business development director Adam White stated that want to ensure that full legal compliance is maintained. That's why the company chose steady and slow approach. He added that after addressing all the concerns, Wikipedia became more confident and was able to choose a solution.
The advantage of bitcoin is the option to make donations, which is important for Wikipedia as it exists on the support of the world readership.

09-25-19 U.S. Dairy Industry Encouraged by Interim Japan Trade Deal, Urges U.S. to Complete the Job in Negotiations to Come
U.S. Dairy Industry Encouraged by Interim Japan Trade Deal, Urges U.S. to Complete the Job in Negotiations to Come
ARLINGTON, Va. – The U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC) and National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) today thanked the U.S. government for its work to reach an interim agreement with Japan that will deliver improvements in market access for the U.S. dairy industry, while noting that the work to secure a sufficient competitive landscape in Japan for dairy is not finished.
NMPF and USDEC look forward to reviewing with their members the details of this first stage of a trade agreement with Japan to take advantage of the new opportunities it will provide on a near-term basis while continuing to work with the Administration to secure the additional elements that are still needed to ensure a strong final dairy package in a comprehensive agreement.
"This enhanced access into the Japanese market is welcome news. Japan represents a rapidly growing market, and without a trade deal, our competitors are poised to seize valuable market share from U.S. dairy," said Tom Vilsack, president and CEO of USDEC. "This first stage of a US-Japan agreement will improve upon today's status quo, which has been unsatisfactory ever since Japan's treaties with the CPTPP nations and the EU went into effect. To continue that progress toward closing the competitiveness gap with both CPTPP and EU suppliers, it's essential that the U.S. secure further market openings and assurances in the second stage of negotiations with Japan to best position the U.S. to compete against all of our major competitors in Japan."
"This interim trade agreement with Japan is welcome news for farmers across the U.S. who have seen their incomes damaged by trade disputes," said Jim Mulhern, president and CEO of NMPF. "Today's news is not the end of the road though; it's the first leg of the journey. We thank America's trade negotiators for their pursuit of a deal aimed at benefiting our dairy farmers and expanding international markets for their high-quality milk. To reap those full rewards and ensure the U.S. is able to best compete in the Japanese market, the subsequent stage of negotiations must secure further inroads into Japan, building upon what our key competitors – the European Union and New Zealand – have secured there."
NMPF and USDEC agree with what Ambassador Lighthizer told the House Ways and Means Committee during his testimony in June: "You cannot treat your best customer worse than you treat people from all these other countries in Europe and all the other TPP countries."
Last month, USDEC and NMPF coordinated a letter signed by 70 dairy companies, farmer-owned cooperatives, and associations to the United States Trade Representative and the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture asking the U.S. government to move swiftly to finalize a strong trade deal with Japan and secure critical market access for the U.S. dairy industry. The objectives outlined in that letter remain the industry's expectation for a comprehensive agreement with Japan.
The U.S. exported $270 million in dairy products to Japan in 2018 with room for further growth. However, without a strong trade agreement that addresses the inequalities in market access granted to our competitors by the Japan-EU and CPTPP agreements, a 2019 USDEC study found that the U.S. risked losing $1.3 billion in exports over a decade, costing dairy farmers $1.7 billion in farm income.
The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), based in Arlington, VA, develops and carries out policies that advance the well-being of dairy producers and the cooperatives they own. The members of NMPF's cooperatives produce the majority of the U.S. milk supply, making NMPF the voice of dairy producers on Capitol Hill and with government agencies.

09-25-19 Conaway Praises U.S.-Japan Trade Deal


Midwestern hunters wad through fields of native warm season grasses in pursuit of gobblers. Bluestem, Indiangrass, eastern gamagrass and other native warm season grasses provide great nesting, brood rearing and escape cover for wild turkeys. Native warm season grasses are also an essential part of a healthy prairie grassland ecosystem.
Native warm season grasses grown in thick bunches with an open structure between grasses, which leaves a maze of alleys and paths beneath the grass canopy and allows free movement within the stand. For those reasons NWSG provide prime nesting sites, excellent escape cover and effective brood rearing habitat for a variety of gamebirds and grassland wildlife species.
Cool season grasses such as fescue, Bermuda grass and Bahia grass have a thick mat of ground cover making it almost impossible for any small, newly hatched birds to maneuver through.
Habitat resulting from native warm season grasses is favored by game and nongame birds, small mammals such as rabbits for foraging and escape cover, and larger animals such as deer for bedding and escape cover.
Native warm season grasses may be the foundation of a grass stand, but whether planted by humans or by nature, there are other key players that make it a healthy habitat. Important food sources such as broadleaf forbs, legumes and insects exist within the native warm season grass ecosystem.
The spaces between the clumps of grass are where the bare ground and forbs exist, which allow grassland wildlife to access and forage throughout the stand. Grasslands, and the insects that live there, attract birds from sparrows to wild turkeys. The abundance of food makes for easy pickings, especially for wild turkey poults.
Not to mention, native warm season grasses have deep root systems of 10 feet or more, making them some of the most drought tolerant grasses. And plants with deep roots reduce soil erosion and runoff.
Warm season grasses native to the area easily adapt to the climate and soil and require little to no irrigation or fertilizing once established. What's more, their stands can last 15 years or longer.
The closer the native warm season grasses are to forestlands or shrublands, the better for wild turkeys and all gamebirds. Small stands are the best, about one to five acres. For wild turkey management, it may be good to plant several acres of native grasses around food plots and openings between the managed forests and plots.


The Golden Globes awardee director Richard Linklater is rumored to be helming "The Rosie Project." The director was reportedly the Sony Picture's present front runner to direct the Jennifer Lawrence movie.
The said movie was supposedly to be directed by "The Lego Movie" helmers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, but the duo lately withdrew from the project to direct the "Star Wars" sequel about a young Han Solo.
"The Project Rosie" was originally a novel by Australian writer Graeme Simsion. It was adapted by "Paper Towns" and "500 Days of Summer" screenwriters Michael H. Weber and Scott Neustadter for the screen.
The story is about a genetics professor with limited social skills who develops a scientific survey to find his perfect mate. Then he meets and falls in love with a mismatched woman Rosie (Jennifer Lawrence).


After treatment of corals suffering from BJS with Metronidazole (by Dr William Wildgoose), the ciliate's were observed to die off and be completely absent (see picture of brown jelly with no ciliate's present). If the corals survive remains to be known, it is likely treatment such as this will work if you catch the disease early enough. If the coral is to far gone and the disease to wide spread fragmentation and isolation are still the best bet.

New York and Philadelphia… World Series rivals BEFORE 1950
If you read or listened to World Series coverage this year, you'd think this was the second time New York and Philadelphia squared off in the World Series.
And it is true, the Phillies and the Yankees only played each other one other time… the 1950 World Series.
But well before the Phillies became THE team in Philadelphia and the Yankees became the dominating force in baseball, Philadelphia and New York squared off three different times with great teams that were the class of the American and National Leagues.
When the World Series was formed in the beginning of the 20th century, John McGraw's Giants were a powerhouse in the National League. And Connie Mack's Athletics were quickly becoming the best team in the American League.
Now of course that would be a Bay Area rivalry, but back then the Giants were the best team in New York and the Athletics ruled Philadelphia baseball.
The Yankees were known as the Highlanders and were inconsistent in the standings.
The Phillies were mediocre non contenders.
But New York and Philadelphia would meet in the 1905, 1911 and 1913 World Series.
Along with their larger than life manager, McGraw, the Giants featured Hall of Famers Christy Mathewson, Roger Bresnahan, Joe McGinnity and Rube Marquand.
Connie Mack, who was the very symbol of Philadelphia baseball for half a century, played future Hall of Famers Chief Bender, Eddie Plank, Rube Waddell, Frank "Home Run Baker" and Eddie Collins.
A pretty impressive array of talent in the pre-Babe Ruth era.
The Giants won the 1905 World Series, 4 games to 1. Christy Mathewson threw three complete game shutouts in six days. Safe to say he wasn't on a pitch count.
In 1911, the Athletics finally got to Mathewson in a dramatic Game 3. Frank "Home Run" Baker earned his nickname with a game tying homer with one out in the 9th inning off of Matty. The Athletics would score the eventual winning run on an error in the 11th.
The Giants would have some late inning heroics of their own in Game 5. One out from elimination, Doc Crandall hit an RBI double and Josh Devore singled him home to tie the game. Fred Merkle would drive in the winning run in the 10th.
But the Athletics would win big in Game 6 behind Chief Bender, 13-2.
Two years later, it would again be New York versus Philadelphia. In Game 2, Mathewson faced another future Hall of Famer, Eddie Plank.
Mathewson threw a 10 inning complete game shutout, driving in the winning run himself in the 10th.
But the Athletics won every other game and took the series in 5. Hall of Famer Eddie Plank out pitched Mathewson in the Game 5 finale.
So taking those three series and the 1950 World Series, Philadelphia and New York are now tied 2 series apiece.
They are playing the rubber match.
Hey look at that! I found a little MORE drama for the Philadelphia/New York match up!

True learning—the kind that stays with students long after the grades are in—requires risk. Ownership. Change. But what does it look like for students to really understand your subject? How can you structure assignments so that Googling becomes an asset, not a threat, to demonstrating knowledge? Kolis and Krusack invite you to reflect on how you "do learning" in your classroom. Real-life classroom examples demonstrate how you can shift the drive for learning into students' hands—while still meeting your learning benchmarks. From making assignments meaningful to students to assessing the results, Powerful Ideas in Teaching explores key ideas for creating environments where students want to learn.

Перенесення мощей Святого Миколая з Мір Лікійських у Барі (Микола Весняний) — релігійне та народне свято східних слов'ян, меншою мірою, південних слов'ян, молдован та румунів. Християни, які дотримуються григоріанського календаря святкують його 9 травня кожного року. А у церквах, що дотримуються юліанського календаря — 22 травня (за новим стилем). Свято відзначається в пам'ять перенесення мощей святителя Миколая з Мир Лікійських (сучасна Туреччина) в Барі, на італійському півострові, щоб врятувати їх від турків, які переслідували християн та руйнували їх храми і святині. У наш час мощі Миколая Чудотворця зберігаються в базиліці Святого Миколая в Барі.

Історія
У XI столітті грецька імперія переживала важкий час. Турки спустошували її володіння в Малій Азії, розоряли міста і села, вбивали їх жителів і супроводжували свої жорстокості зневагою святих храмів, мощей, ікон та книг. Мусульмани робили замах знищити мощі святителя Миколая, глибоко шанованого всім християнським світом.

Осквернення святинь обурювало не тільки східних, але і західних християн. Особливо побоювалися за мощі святителя Миколая християни в Італії, серед яких було багато греків. Жителі міста Барі, розташованого на березі Адріатичного моря, вирішили врятувати мощі святителя Миколая.

Їх барійські моряки «здобули» (по суті, викрали) у ченців Лікії в XI столітті, коли християнським святиням погрожувало захоплення мусульманами.

8 травня кораблі повернулися до Барі, і скоро радісна звістка облетіла все місто. Наступного дня, 9 травня, мощі святителя Миколая урочисто перенесли до церкви святого Стефана, що знаходилася недалеко від моря. Через рік була побудована церква на честь святителя Миколая і освячена папою Урбаном II.

У Маларському соборі (10-15.09.1089 р.), скликаному Римським папою Урбаном II для примирення церков брала участь й делегація Київської православної митрополії, яку благословив Митрополит Київський і всієї Руси Іван III. Члени цієї місії були у м. Барі на освячені перенесеної гробниці св. Миколая.

Свято в Україні
У народному календарі свято назву Миколи Весняного або Теплого на відміну від зимового Миколи, який святкується 19 грудня. Святий Миколай вважається покровителем тварин, худоби, а також хліборобів та землеробства. Теплий Микола — одне із головних свят конюхів, у цей день був коней у поле на першу пашу. На знак цього на сільському майдані, посеред села, священики кропили коней свяченою водою. В полі їздили вершники — «щоб нечиста сила коней не мучила». Микола весняний вважався чоловічим святом, і багато хлопців вперше випасали коней цілу ніч.

Із цим святом пов'язано декілька приказок:
 «Прийшов Миколай — коней випасай»;
 «Юрій з теплом, а Микола з кормом»;
 «Святий Юрій пасе корів, а Микола — коней».

LOWMIND PARK, CA (Rooters agency) – The US technology giant Gobble has announced that it will cease providing crucial update information to one of its customers, the Chinese telecoms company Hayway Technologies.
Hayway's phones use Gobble's operating system Ambiguous. Updates are important because Gobble, like all major technology companies, supplies software that is full of badly written code, not to mention advertiser promotions, spyware and ##@79k&*^dk+@*^dk@drone $extreme prejudice##@##@repeat $extreme prejudice##@
A lack of access to updates correcting such problems will make Hayway's telephones less attractive to potential customers, so that Hayway's previous expenditures on Gobble technology are essentially wasted money. Or, in the standard motto of US business: "There's one born every minute."
At Gobble headquarters, a spokesrobot said that Gobble's decision was based on the fact that Hayway's activities are subject to Chinese government orders, which meant that the Chinese government might be able to spy on Hayway's phone users.
Explaining his order that led to Gobble's decision, President Ronald Dump tweeted: "If we let the chinks into our system, they might steal our secrets, such as …" [Rooters has been prevented by a court order under national security legislation from printing the rest of the tweet. It is not clear whether that order is enforceable in China or other countries.]
Reporters asked the spokesrobot whether this decision suggested that Gobble itself was subject to government direction. "Not at all," the spokesrobot replied. "Gobble would never turn over user information to the Chinese government. Or do anything else the Chinese government told us to do."
In a possibly related development, a large number of US computer chip manufacturers have, as they announced in a joint statement, "independently and freely decided" to stop supplying chips to Hayway "because we can't produce enough chips for our current customers – of which Hayway used to be one but isn't any more." The State Department declined to "comment on this voluntary and wonderfully patriotic decision."
Gobble's main competitors, Macrostuff and Macramé, indicated that they would back its decision. A joint statement from the two said: "In the end, customers have the option: do they want to be spied on by some non-Caucasian foreigners, or by their very own American government?"
