Wednesday was my Dad's 63rd birthday, and the weather gods had blessed him with light winds and no rain. So it was off to the shoals for a fish! With my boat still for sale in at Townsville Marine, I skippered his boat so he could relax and fish. We were well aware of the floating debris in the water after the floods, so it wasn't until first light that we left the ramp. Despite the near glass out conditions it was a little sloppy heading out and took longer than anticipated. But we new it was going to be an awesome day as things settled down.
Our first stop was at a massive floating log just a kilometre or so short of our mark. I cast a 7in Gulp Jerk Shad to the log and let it sink to about the 10m mark. A couple of quick lifts of the rod and I was on! A solid fish started slowly pulling the brand new 30lb Power Pro from my TwinPower 6000fc. But suddenly all went slack. When I pulled in it appeared to have been cleanly bitten off. Definitely not a break off, I hadn't applied anywhere near enough pressure to break 80lb leader. So we are not sure what that fish was, maybe a Mackerel, but it never took a blistering run? A couple more casts with no further success and we headed for our mark.
We started off drifting the mark to work out a line to anchor to. I continued to fish with 7in Jerk Shads while Dad fished his trusty Pillies. Dad picked up a couple of small reefies and I boated 2 small GT's about the 3kg mark. It was obvious there were some Mackerel about as Dad was bitten off a couple of times and I kept bringing back 2in Gulps to the boat when they definitely went down at 7in! Then suddenly something grabbed my line and tore off. I was thinking one of these Mackerel had finally managed to hook itself in a position that didn't result in a bite off. But despite a couple of fast and powerful runs then fish tired quickly and came in quite easily. Soon a massive Barracouda was boat side. I hate couda, but since I hadn't photographed any fish so far I though I better get a shot of this guys. I had to mouth gaff him to get the hook out anyway. But it was the worst mistake ever!! These things stink, and now, so did I!!
With so many Mackerel obviously in the water I changed over to a metal slice. I soon had 1...2...3 then 4 fish landed. They were everywhere! But unfortunately every one of them was between 70cm and 75cm. Another drop of the Bumpa Bar and bang, reel screaming. This was a better fish! Several good runs later and a nice keeper Spanish is finally lead to the gaff.
We then attempted to anchor on the mark to try for some Nannygai and maybe a Cobia. But anchoring proved difficult. It took us several attempts and more than an hour to get it right, and even then we were still not quite on it. But it didn't matter, the mackerel were everywhere we were. I started working the bottom again, but put a floating pillie out the back hoping for a bigger Mackerel. But I wasn't really getting a chance to fish the bottom as the floater wasn't lasting long! Despite several smaller fish again I did manage one more solid keeper.
Dad was kept very busy all morning with his pillies. Lots of undersize nannygai and other reefies as well as Trevalley and many bitten off Mackerel. He did manage to land one thumping doggie mackerel that didn't stand a chance of biting him off...it was hooked in the tail! Dad also managed to hook up what were were both hoping was to be a massive Cobia. It took lots of line, ran high in the water, and took him all around the boat. But after half an hour we caught sight of the culprit, a massive Bronze Whaler shark! A fantastic effort to get him in, but disappointing after putting in such a huge effort.
But he did manage a nice little Cobe not too long before we called it a day and headed in. It was a magnificent morning of the water! I hope 2011 brings us many more days like this one. Happy New Year!

The Flying Teachers Free INItiative- for eligible Primary schools.
Resort guests often feel the impulse to give something tangible, after having experienced the kind hospitality of the local people. TFT Free Initiative is a genuine opportunity for them to contribute to a worthwhile and continuing cause, the education of disadvantaged children.
The idea is to get a primary school close to a participating resort connected to the internet via satellite. Robust laptops are provided with pre-loaded curriculum materials to each student. Local teachers will be taught how to utilise the equipment for maximum benefit and this support will be ongoing.
The XO laptop is a small machine with a big mission. It is a potent learning tool designed and built especially for children in developing countries. It's about the size of a small textbook, has built-in wireless and a unique screen that is readable under direct sunlight. It's extremely durable, brilliantly functional, energy-efficient, and fun.
The resorts are happy, because they are seen as supporting the local community in a very direct way. They are able to use the TFT Free Initiative logo (below) on all their marketing material.
The schools are happy, because now, they can provide state-of-the art educational resources. The Flying Teachers will teach the teachers how to make use of the learning platforms and they will continue to provide educational and technical support.
The guests are happy, because they feel they are doing something tangible at the grassroot level. They will receive ongoing updates and are able to see the progress when they return on another holiday.
The International Primary School are happy, because their educational service becomes more egalitarian. Providing opportunity to disadvantaged children and introducing them to possibilities of 21st century learning.
Resorts interested in this program should contact us.

"I came to BUA because I was called here," reflected Pedro Guerra, a third year student at Baptist University of the Américas.
Pedro prayed for two years about what he should do with his life. "God, show me where you want me to go — take me somewhere," he kept asking.
Feeling the pressure every high school senior feels to make a decision about the next steps, Pedro decided to pursue physical therapy at a college near his home town of Runge. His studies were going well, but he felt unfulfilled.
"That was the first time I understood that I was being called somewhere," reflected Pedro. He heard about BUA from his pastor, a BUA alumnus. Pedro decided to transfer to BUA and start pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Theology and Human Behavior.
BUA recognizes that Pedro, and every student, has been called — to this campus and a future of leadership in various job sectors, countries and contexts.
BUA has a holistic approach, focusing on forming students academically, socially, personally and spiritually.
"It is a Christian community that helps you grow," said Pedro. The Called Club is one way students help one another grow.
The Called Club is a student-led group that focuses on helping students find and fulfill their individual, God-given calling. The officers are leaders on campus who organize seminars, events and activities, which compliment BUA's biblical focus and further equip students. Twice a month, the group leads a student evangelism training. The officers also organized and led a chapel service this fall.
Jana Atkinson, president of the Called Club, is pictured with fellow BUA students.
"Every student is a member because we all have a calling from God," said Called Club President Jana Atkinson.
the future so she can become a professor. Jana explains that she has a heart for educating underprivileged women around the world.
BUA is shaping the next generation of cross-cultural leaders. If you are interested in learning more about BUA or enrolling as a student, attend a BUA Open House event this fall. See details and register here.

    };

It am expecting the client make https://yuchung.herokuapp.com/api/reserve call instead of localhost:9080/api/reserve.

A: I resolved the problem by checking on process.env.NODE_ENV instead.
 let IS_DEV_MODE = false;
    if (!process.env.NODE_ENV || process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
      IS_DEV_MODE = true;

    const URL = IS_DEV_MODE
      ? 'http://localhost:9080'
      : 'https://yuchung.herokuapp.com';

Rondo Plaza
Remembering Rondo
ReConnectRondo
Rondo Avenue
Rondo Avenue, Inc. hosts several events and partners with other organizations/businesses throughout the year to celebrate its history and to support its work and legacy.
RONDO LAND BRIDGE SURVEY
9 Nights of Music
Rondo Senior Dinner
Frank Adams 5K Walk & Run
Rondo Days Grande Parade
Rondo Days Festival
Rondo Wine Tasting Fundraiser
Rondo History Harvest
Our efforts to have a broad conversation about Rondo and the potential for a land bridge, and to listen with great care, are taking another step forward today: A brand new online survey to solicit your feedback.
The survey is in six languages: English, Espanol, Hmong, Oromo, Somali, and Vietnamese.
Please distribute widely by copying and sharing the link! Rondo Land Bridge Community Survey
Rondo Avenue, Inc. and the Minnesota History Center has come together for the last several years to kickoff Rondo Days week at the popular series 9 Nights of Music on the Tuesday of week preceding the festival. 9 Nights of Music features the rich and vibrant rhythms and sounds of Minnesota's multi-cultural music community with free outdoor performances at the Minnesota History Center every Tuesday in July and August!
The Rondo Days 9 Nights of Music will feature soulful and funky sounds from Bass Face X.
Listen to infectious music and get out your dancing shoes for saucy salsa, soulful Motown, and classic big band swing – co-sponsor Tapestry Folkdance Center provides instructors to lead the way.
and a picnic, or purchase food from the History Center's Cafe Minnesota (no outside alcohol is permitted). Admission to museum exhibits is free on Tuesdays from 3-8 p.m.
The Rondo Senior Recognition Dinner occurs annually on the Thursday evening prior to the Rondo Days Parade and Festival. The dinner event offers an opportunity for 300 plus members of the old Rondo community to reunite and reminisce over a home cooked meal provided by Rondo Avenue, Inc.
In this day and age, staying healthy is at the top of the personal priority list for many of us. Rondo Avenue, Inc. partners with the Inner Cities Athletic Association (ICAA) to host the annual Frank Adams 5K Walk & Run to jump start the festival day. The walk and run route follows the same path as the Rondo Days Parade (in a roundtrip manner), beginning at the Hallie Q. Brown/MLK Center, through the Rondo community to St. Peter Claver Church and back to HQB/MLK.
The Rondo Days Parade begins at 10AM at St. Peter Claver Church and is routed through the Rondo neighborhood – with a variety of parade participants from Drill & Dance Teams, to Floats, to Politicians, Educators, Business Owners and Youth groups – to the festival grounds, where the entertainment stage generally launches the festival around 12PM and runs until 7PM. People come from near and far to celebrate the Rondo community.
The Annual Rondo Wine Tasting Fundraiser is a special spring time event and opportunity the adult community to come together for networking, socializing and reminiscing while consuming some wine and food.
Several brands and flavors of wine, sponsored by Selby Wine & Spirits, will be on display for you to SEE, SWIRL, SNIFF, SWISH & SAVOR. Your taste palates are in for a treat as there will also be some savory Hors d'Oeuvres.
A soup tureen. A cookbook. Black and white photographs. These are some of the artifacts that Rondo community members share with Macalester students to preserve their neighborhood's history.
Last year in 2016, people who had lived in the neighborhood stopped by the Hallie Q. Brown Community Center, to share objects they associate with Rondo.
2017's Remembering Rondo History Harvest is being held at Camphor United Methodist Church at 585 Fuller Avenue of Dale Street
At digitization stations, students scan or photograph artifacts for computer storage. At artifact interview stations, students record the stories behind the pieces. Neighborhood donors who wished to talk further are ushered into a separate room where longer oral interviews focusing on the lives of people in the Rondo community took place.
Students digitize the artifacts and interviews and add them to the Remembering Rondo website. Anyone with access to the Internet will be able to see the artifacts and learn the stories behind them through audio and video transcripts.
Rondo Avenue, Inc. (RAI) is dedicated to preserving, conserving and accurately interpreting the contributions of the African-American community of Rondo. This community was destroyed by the construction of Interstate I-94 in the late 1960's.
RAI's goal is to transmit the history and rich cultural traditions of Rondo and connect them with modern values for an ever-evolving community. Through our work we share stories of faith, family, hope, resiliency and the continued growth and successes of the community.


Felicity Jones, star of that little "indie movie" "Rogue One," graced the "Saturday Night Live" stage yesterday to be the show's first host of 2017.
The actress, who was visibly nervous, got through the first half of her monologue with the expected "Star Wars" jokes, including a little jab at her character Jyn Erso's file transferring skills.
Then, Kenan Thompson, playing Saw Gerrera, crashed the stage to deliver a hologram message from none other than Tina Fey. Dressed in drape-y white cloth ― a nod to the "Star Wars" universe and an Eileen Fisher joke in one ― Fey provided Jones with some sage advice.
"I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day," Poehler told Glamour in 2011. "To me, bossy is not a pejorative term at all. It means somebody's passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn't mind leading." And Fey, in her book aptly titled Bossypants, advised readers: "Do your thing and don't care if they like it."


We certainly have a global economy.
Interesting to read that China is having economic trouble. America is loaded with debt - 100% debt/gdp. Europe broke. U.K. - 389% debt/gdp. France - 208%. Germany - 162%. Ireland - 1,113%. Spain - 167%. Africa - disaster. Japan - debt 200% of GDP.
The west is ready to implode. Russia, Iran, China and others are relatively healthy (at least they are not in hoc up to their eye balls).
The following verse, is one of great debate. Who is "babylon"? Don't know, but it is certainly worth a read.
4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; 5 for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Pay her back even as she has paid, and give back to her double according to her deeds; in the cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her. 7 To the degree that she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, 'I SIT as A QUEEN AND I AM NOT A WIDOW, and will never see mourning.' 8 For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong.
whats your take,greg, on come out of her, my people?-n- flee from her midst, so not to partake of her plagues.?tony in vt.
Great question and one I wish that I had the answer to.
I see judgement coming, so what do I do. Do I flee? Where? Is America Babylon? America is certainly being punished. You don't hear about all of these weather / nature issues in Eastern Europe, Russia or Iran.
Where to go? Australia - floods and hurricanes. U.K. - terror threats. Israel - not so sure. Africa - burned up and dying.
Are we to stand in faith and continue to share the gospel or is God telling us to head for high ground.
Do we share what we have and pour ourselves out or do we stockpile food and live in a Nebraskan bunker?
If God wants me to flee, He certainly has not provided the where with all to go live in a Montana compound.
For now I'll stay in Dallas and try to tell people about this overwhelming good news and His soon return.
Phillippians 4:4-9 sustains me...be anxious for nothing.
I struggle between the poles of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes that talk about saving, preparedness, etc... and the New Testament call to be strong and live by faith.
The older I get the more I realize that life is lived in the deep water, somewhere in the middle.
God is both an intensely holy and righteous purveyor of justice and judgement; as well as being Grace, Forgiveness, Provision and Faithfulness.
He is so big that, He can be Justice and Forgiveness at the same time.
He calls me to be both prepared and living in faith at the same time. Interesting trick.
Dear Lord - we pray for wisdom to serve you well and not participate in fighting against Israel, Truth and in being set apart for Holiness.
thank you greg, that was an impressive and beautiful response, i ressonate w/ be not anxious. God Bless,... the "be still and know that i am God" also sets me right,...trusting..../ i like you website and am excited about the Feast Days and thier prophetic relevance!,esp. the Awakening Blast! This is AMAZING! n GRACE is AMAZING! Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow.amen brother, tony in vt.

An elevator takes you 70 m to the base of the gorge, where you walk along a timber boardwalk alongside the river.
Hearing the roar and seeing the largest standing waves (it's a phenomenon that occurs when two waves are moving in opposite directions).
The Whirlpool rapids consist of four kilometres of standing waves that are three to five-metre high.
There are several platforms where you can stand right up the water's edge, where being so close to the crashing waves is energising while looking up at the 410 million-year-old rocks of the Niagara Gorge.
The panels along the boardwalk provide a wealth of information, such as the water flows past at 48 km/h (30 mph).

I was impressed with the view from my Fallsview suite at Embassy Suites. Gazing at the view from your room is one of the best things to do in Niagara Falls at any time of the day.
The first sight of the Falls from my Fallsview room at the Embassy Suites took my breath away.

So take a tip and schedule some downtime to admire the view from the comfort of your hotel room.
My two-room suite had a separate living room with a couch and work desk while the bedroom had a stunning view, where I could like in bed and gaze out the window.

Q: Replace specific string, and copy the text block below it I have the two following text files
a.txt:
Hello, my name is <name>
and I like flowers.

b.txt:
Susan
Katie
Caitlynn

I want to manipulate this to have the following output in c.txt:
Hello, my name is Susan
and I like flowers.

Hello, my name is Katie
and I like flowers.

Hello, my name is Caitlynn
and I like flowers.

and so on and so forth.
I can replace them in one instance, but don't know how to continuously read from b.txt to continue replacing

A: You can use awk:
awk 'FNR==NR{a[$1]++; next}
     {for (i in a) { s=$0; sub(/<name>/, i, s); print s}}' b.txt a.txt
Hello, my name is Caitlynn
Hello, my name is Susan
Hello, my name is Katie

Update: Based on edited question:
awk 'FNR==NR{a[$1]++; next} /<name>/{curLine=$0; getline nextLine;
  for (i in a) {s=curLine; sub(/<name>/, i, s); print s; print nextLine}}' b.txt a.txt
Hello, my name is Caitlynn
and I like flowers.
Hello, my name is Susan
and I like flowers.
Hello, my name is Katie
and I like flowers.

A: Solution for first version of the question
Here is a sed solution:
$ sed -r '1{h;d}; G; s/(.*)\n(.*)<name>(.*)/\2\1\3/' a.txt b.txt
Hello, my name is Susan
Hello, my name is Katie
Hello, my name is Caitlynn

How it works

*

*1{h;d}
The first line that sed sees is from a.txt.  This saves that line in the hold space and then skips to start over with the next line.

*G
The second and all subsequent lines come from b.txt.  For each such line, this command appends the hold space to that line.  After this executes, the pattern space has the name (from b.txt) followed by a newline, followed by the the line from a.txt.

*s/(.*)\n(.*)<name>(.*)/\2\1\3/
This rearranges the pattern space, putting the name where it should be.
Solution for second version of the question
$ sed -r '1{h;d}; 2{H;d}; G; s/(.*)\n(.*)<name>(.*)/\2\1\3/' a2.txt b.txt
Hello, my name is Susan
and I like flowers.
Hello, my name is Katie
and I like flowers.
Hello, my name is Caitlynn
and I like flowers.

A: You can also try sed + bash loop:
for x in $(cat b.txt); do sed -e "s/<name>/$x/" a.txt; done

If you need additional line between sentences
for x in $(cat b.txt); do sed -e "s/<name>/$x/" a.txt; echo ""; done

A: $ awk 'NR==FNR{tmplt=tmplt $0 ORS; next} {block=tmplt; sub(/<name>/,$0,block); print block}' a.txt b.txt
Hello, my name is Susan
and I like flowers.

Hello, my name is Katie
and I like flowers.

Hello, my name is Caitlynn
and I like flowers.

A: using sed tactically with its e command as follows
 sed 's#.*#sed "s/\\(.*\\)<name>\\(.*\\)/\\n\\1&\\2/" a.txt #e' b.txt > c.txt

where c.txt is your new file with expected results
results
Hello, my name is Susan
and I like flowers.

Hello, my name is Katie
and I like flowers.

Hello, my name is Caitlynn
and I like flowers.

Open Call. In August of this year it was announced that 159 post offices in Ireland would be closed, eighteen in County Galway alone. As the post office is still at the heart of a lot of rural communities and a lot of the smaller towns and villages, this will have serious consequences for these populations. On 30th January 2019,our local post office in Moyard will close its doors, and this will inevitably exacerbate the extreme geographic isolation experienced by many along this Western coastline. You are invited to send a postcard to the Moyard Post Office in January 2019, with artwork in response to this short-sighted injustice. All artworks will be displayed in the Post Office for the month of January, and then sold to raise funds for Interface, developing a space for artists in this isolated rural community.
Nineteen artists made up the show Incomplete nature, which was opened at Interface on 14th September by the wonderful Philip King.

Ruth and Kaitlin met on the Land Arts of the American West expedition, as part of the Water rights programme at SFAI in 2016.It was there that they learnt that their complementary art practices and epistemological perspectives could demonstrate how artwork can heal lands and people. Both incorporate bioremediation into their artistic practices, Kaitlin using fungal tissue to absorb heavy metals from water and Ruth with water remedies inspired by homeopathy. In their short stay with us, they were working together to create a remedy based artwork for the lands affected by the 2015 Gold King Mine Spill which devastated communities around the Animas and San Juan rivers. They were also working on making remedy clouds. The clouds are made with water vapor from Ruth's water remedies, and medicinal mushroom and lichen essences that Kaitlin has made while at Interface.
'Meanwhile, I am fascinated by the way Celtic spirituality is highly connected and influenced by sunlight and darkness. While November is the darkest month, I find the Irish saying of which 'the veil between the two worlds – the death and the alive – is very thin in November' astounding.
Indian artist Sarasija Subramanian describes her engagement with found natural objects and aspects of the natural world as resulting in assemblages in a 'quasi-archival format.' As an artist engaged in the intersections of science, political histories and presents, mythology and folklore, she re-positions information that would otherwise be lost, misplaced or forgotten, using a combination of photography, drawings and found objects to create open-ended spaces of discourse. Having spent six weeks engrossed in a combination of science through the eyes of a coral farm and hatchery in Inagh, the Dublin Botanical Garden, and readings of Celtic myths and Irish folklore, her current project is a 'dialogue between contradictory modes of knowledge and how they validate and disprove each other's sanctity' She has been documenting the coral farm through drawings and photographs, 'In the context of man's intervention and the consequent adaptation of nation to such interventions,' looking in parallel at Celtic myths of Sea Monsters.
Belfast based artist, Michael Geddis was brought up in a small seaside town on the East coast of Ireland and spent his teenage holidays lobster potting and picking, drying and selling edible seaweeds. Specialising in finely detailed drawing, he delights in the elegant beauty of natural forms. In his aim to generate visually compelling artwork that incorporates a discernibleconceptual watermark, he melds macroscopic and microscopic patterns from nature and finds tiny microscopic structures particularly inspirational.
As a veterinary surgeon in his past life, Michael did a lot of orthopaedic work. He has, therefore, an informed appreciation of the innovative use of coral in assisting bone healing including the major benefits of its unique absorbable natural properties. He was delighted, therefore, when some of the team at Inagh shared beautiful electron microscope images of coral skeletons with him. Some of these feature amazing close-up shots of human bone growth cells making themselves at home on the inviting surface of the coral. New work is sprouting abundantly from this highly fertile creative environment, and it is inspiring to see his focus, as he dons his microsurgeons magnifying loupes to produce incredibly intricate drawings.

'By engaging with fungal and bacterial cultures I seek analogies to societal cultures, exploring relevant scientific concepts and their philosophical paradigms. The nature of my work is very experimental. My project ideas frequently stem from scientific hypotheses of how something affects something, but my artistic imagination takes it from there. ' This woman was a total inspiration. When she was not cycling, she was foraging, fermenting everything in sight, baking amazing loaves of sour dough bread in the cave at Moyard and making art out of seaweed, mushrooms and bacteria.

I enjoy exploring with upcycling materials for jewelry. Using plastic milk or juice cartons, I cut some earring shapes. Then I explored my stamp collection. My favorite stamps are the maps of San Francisco. One has the street map and the others are more topographical. Once the pattern was on and dry, I used regular sharpies and oil based paint sharpies to add the color. The earrings are light and bright for summer. Have fun making them!
Once you cut the large flat shapes out of the 3D container you must make sure that all the label is removed. Goo Gone or WD40 does the trick.
You will also need a variety of jeweler's tools, some paper patterns, assorted beads and wire.
Next, I lay down the paper earring shapes and trace around them in a color that will show.
Now I use regular scissors to cut out the shapes.
You can use Sharpies that are regular or oil based paint. Silver or gold are fun to have for a metal style accent.
Step 4: Construct Your Earrings!
Punch some holes where needed in the plastic. Often there is a "tag" in the back that needs to be cut off.
Get your wires bent with a circle on the end and attach and close.
Cut some shapes in half and dangle them together from the earwire.
Use the theme of your stamp and go wild. Mine was a map so I cut a one way arrow to dangle in the center hole.
Glad that you like them. They are fun to make with your own drawings too!
These are so pretty! I love seeing all your designs using recycled materials! Also, where did you get those stamps?! I love them!
on Etsy has some neat stamps. I got the ones I used either at Michael's or the Paper Source.
So cool!!! Just wondering if you have an idea for prescription bottles? Cause I have a lot. I have high blood pressure. And want to do something to recycle them.


BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi on Friday moved the Supreme Court seeking contempt action against Congress president Rahul Gandhi for allegedly attributing his remarks on the recent Rafale verdict to the apex court.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday may have unwittingly provided the kind of opening the Opposition was desperately waiting for. By agreeing to relook at its own December order in the Rafale deal.
The Congress claimed that the Rafale deal was the "biggest scam" that the country has ever seen and accused the Narendra Modi government of giving "exemptions" to two French companies in selecting offset partners.
Claiming that the then defence minister Manohar Parrikar knew there was corruption in Rafale deal, Congress president Rahul Gandhi Thursday said the deal would be probed if his party comes to power at the Centre.
The book on the Rafale deal, copies of which were seized by an election commission squad in Chennai before being finally allowed to be released, has flown off the shelves.


What Foods to Eat if You Have a Fatty Liver?
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD) is a condition characterized by hepatic steatosis, which means excessive fat accumulation in the liver. It can be caused by plenty of reasons, such as obesity, incorrect diet, malnutrition, viral hepatitis, and so on. If you have been diagnosed with a fatty liver, don't worry because it is reversible with the help of medication, exercise, diet, or surgery. Since it is closely related your diet and lifestyle, you have to make some changes in order to reverse the buildup of extra fats in the liver. As for what foods should you eat to avoid this condition, the following vegetables and fruits can be a big help. And you can pick some to make your own meal plan.
1. Apple. Apples are rich in potassium but low in sodium. That's to say, this is an excellent potassium-containing food. In addition, apple contains cellulose and organic acids, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and increase stool volume. As a result, it leads to smooth bowel movements, low cholesterol absorption, and low levels of cholesterol in the blood and liver. In this case, eating more apples makes it possible to reverse or avoid this disease.
2. Grape. Grapes are able to reduce your cholesterol levels because regular consumption of them can improve your fitness and promote digestive function. When it comes to how to eat to get the most out of this fruit, it is a good idea to add it into your recipes of tea, porridge, soup, and dishes besides of eating raw.
3. Hawthorn. Hawthorn contains large amount of vitamin C and potassium. It is important to point out that it is known for reducing blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels and preventing and treating atherosclerosis. Since the lipid-lowering effects of hawthorn is through lipid removal, hawthorn is a good addition to the fatty liver patient diet.
4. Tangerine. Fresh tangerine contains a variety of amino acids and vitamins, which help not only the body's metabolism, but also effectively improve liver detox and promote fat metabolism.
1. Tomato. Tomatoes are rich in carotene and vitamin B and C. It is worth mentioning that it has the most vitamin P in vegetable. Thanks to the high nutritional value, tomatoes prevent and treat not only cancer, but also fatty liver. However, remember not to eat green tomatoes because they contain a lot of tomatidine, which can lead to poisoning if you eat too much of them.
2. Mushroom. Mushrooms contain polysaccharides, vitamins, plant protein, various amino acids and mineral salts. It is an ideal food for regulating immune function, reducing a fatty liver, and fighting inflammation.
3. Seedweed. Seedweed contains a large amount of iodine, alginic acid, vitamins, amino acids and fat-loss ingredients. For that reason, seedweed has a good secondary effect on the prevention and treatment of a fatty liver and fibrosis.
4. Radish. Since radish contains fewer calories but more dietary fiber, it easily provides consistent feelings of fullness even though you eat a small amount of it. So it helps contribute to weight loss. What's more, it can also lower blood lipids, soften blood vessels, stabilize swings in blood pressure, and prevent fatty liver, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis and other similar diseases.
5. Celery. Celery contains dietary fiber, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, etc. It has not only a lot of nutrition, but also medicinal properties. In other words, it can help lose weight, lower lipid, reduce cholesterol, and stop the bleeding, and so on.
If you want to get rid of this disease, these are very helpful dietary advice.
3. Don't drink alcohol. This is because alcohol is mainly metabolized by the liver, which will be damaged directly. Thus, it increases the metabolic burden on the liver and worsens the symptoms.
4. Don't eat spicy food, including onion, garlic, ginger, chili, pepper, curry, wine, etc.
6. Don't eat squid and sardines since such fish is one of high-cholesterol foods too.

What are the different types of permits?
Child Care Licensing issues four types of permits:
A license (or certification for an operation that is operated by a state agency) is issued to most types of day care and residential child care operations including, Licensed Centers and Programs (also known as Center Based Care or Licensed Centers), Licensed Child Care Homes, General Residential Operations and Child-Placing Agencies.
A registration is issued to Registered Child Care Homes.
A listing is issued to Listed Family Homes.
A certificate is issued to a Small Employer Based Child Care Operation or Temporary Shelter Operation.
What does issuance mean?
Child Care Licensing issues a permit to an operation upon determining that an operation is able to receive a permit. A permit allows the operation to legally care for children.
What is an initial permit?
An operation with a license generally receives an initial permit first. An initial permit lasts six months and provides the operation an opportunity to establish compliance with minimum standards, rule and law before receiving a full permit.
If the operation is not able to establish compliance in six months, Child Care Licensing can extend the initial permit for one additional six-month period before deciding whether to issue a full permit to the operation.
What is a full permit?
An operation with a license receives a full permit when the operation meets compliance with minimum standards, rule and law. A full permit remains in effect as long as the operation renews the license every two years and Child Care Licensing does not take enforcement action to revoke the license.
What happens before Child Care Licensing issues a permit?
CCL reviews an application for a permit and, depending on the type of permit, inspects the operation to determine whether it is appropriate to allow the operation to legally care for children.
For a license or registration, CCL completes at least one on-site inspection to evaluate the operation's compliance with minimum standards. This evaluation includes making sure employees have cleared background checks and received all required training.
For a listing, CCL makes sure people living in the listed family home have cleared background checks. A listed family does not have minimum standards or training requirements for caregivers.
For a certificate, CCL completes an on-site inspection to make sure employees have cleared background checks and have received all required training. Small employer-based operations do not have minimum standards, but CCL evaluates that the operation maintains a child/caregiver ratio of 1:4 and meets fire safety and sanitation standards in its political subdivision.
What does a condition on permit mean?
A condition on a permit is a requirement that:
Allows an operation to perform a certain action (for example, when Child Care Licensing approves an operation to provide a certain type of service, the approved service is a condition on the permit).
Restricts the operation from performing certain actions (for example, children under 6 years old must be restricted to the first floor of the operation, or the permit holder's spouse must not transport children).

Young Female Graduate, Lured by Fake Job Employer in Akwa Ibom, Murdered in Cold Blood
A fresh female graduate of the Department of Philosophy, University of Uyo, Miss Iniobong Umoren who disappeared on Thursday, April 29, after she got a false job interview offer has been allegedly murdered by her abductor.
Umoren who was awaiting posting for the mandatory one year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), took to her Twitter handle #HinyUmoren on 27th April to solicit for job offer.
She wrote, "#AkwaIbomTwitter please I'm really in need of a job, something to do to keep mind and soul together while contributing dutifully to the organisation. My location is Uyo, I'm creative, really good in thinking ctitically and most importantly a fast learner. CV available on request. -27th April, 2021."
Shortly after Umoren made the tweet, lot of job offers flooded in which she went after. Sadly, a user named Uduak Akpan had reached out to her with a job offer in Uyo. An offer that needed her to meet the supposed employer at airport junction, in an undisclosed location in outskirt of the state capital.
Report from her friend, @UmohUduak1 who raised a SOS alert after several attempt of reaching her failed, revealed Ini had communicated her from the time she left for the interview till the point she was about to meet her supposed employer.
According to screenshot shared by Ini's friend, Ini was heard screaming in a Whatsapp voice note after which her phone went dead.
The SOS alert raised by @UmohUduak1 who resides in Lagos had triggered prompt action from kind-spirited Nigerians who explored all tech options with all the evidence, phone conversation, tweet, phone number and social media data of the supposed employer to track him.
Also, Nigerians had swung into action following the statement from the Police which suggested a wait for 48hours. Nigerians in Akwa Ibom State had launched a search party around the location where Ini went for the interview.
24 hours later, the search party began based on provided evidence, phone call tracks and GPS coordinates had led to the arrest of the employer's father who was alleged to have been in the know of the son's crime.
However, the arrest of Uduak's father by the police opened up a link to the 'others at large' who were swiftly investigated.
The police intervention in the case did not deter Nigerians from exploring all tech tools to unmask the perpetrators who had deactivated all his social media accounts and after 24hours come out to deny the allegation of ever seeing Ini.

The arrest of another person fingered in the abduction of Ini gave Nigerians hope of her safe return. While hopes were building, Nigerians had taken to micro-blogging site Twitter to trend #findhinyumoren, to pray and hope for her safe return.
Through the help of the Chairman of Uruan local government area, Surv. Iniobong Ekpeyong, who wade into the matter and called a cousin to the suspected abductor to bring him for a no-hold-barred conversation, Uduak was apprehended.
According to report, "the suspect was alleged to have taken the late Miss Umoren to his house where an argument ensured and in the process, he used an object to hit her on the head resulting in her death. He was alleged to have hurriedly buried her in a shallow grave and ran to Oron to hide.
Following pressure by the Police and Nigerians on social media, Oron became uncomfortable for him and he ran back to Uruan."
After confessing to have killed Ini, Surv Ekpeyong, Uduak had no choice but to call the DPO of Uruan LGA and hand him over for further investigation and prosecution.
Meanwhile, as the news of Ini's death floors the social media space, Ukeme Umoren, an elder brother to the girl had come out to call on the wife of the governor of Akwa Ibom State, Dr. Martha Udom Emmanuel, Akparawa Ephraim Inyang and other politicians to help find his last sister, explaining that they are orphans from Oruk Anam LGA who have toiled and soiled to scale through life.
Also, in the midst of the widespread news of Ini's alleged death, the police is yet to come out with a statement or position on the matter.
