"I hope so much that they will have a good future now. I hope so much, especially for her," she said of newborn Maria. "She's never really had a real house, no toys, no food, no milk. I want to give her this. I hope so much she will become this, have a normal kid's life. Happy, with no bombs."
Lemke is one of thousands of ISIS members in the custody of the US-backed Syrian Defense Forces, hundreds of them believed to be from European countries. But as the US prepares to withdraw its troops, it's unclear if the SDF has the capacity to keep them in custody or will be forced to release them.
Germany, like many European countries, has been reluctant to accept ISIS members. In fact, only a handful of countries, such as Russia, Indonesia, Lebanon and Sudan, have allowed ISIS followers to return. Previously, captured ISIS members have been processed under Iraqi law, but the EU does not trust Syria's judicial system to do the same.
In the specific case of Lemke and her husband, Martin Lemke, Germany's Foreign Ministry said it had "no findings" and that providing "consular assistance is still virtually impossible."
"Irrespective of this, the Federal Government is examining possible options to enable German nationals to leave Syria, especially in humanitarian cases," the Foreign Ministry said in statement sent to CNN.
"We conscientiously look after 9 German citizens in Iraqi custody. Their children, who are also housed in the detention center, can, if the parental consent is available, be taken to Germany for receptive relatives."
"They don't think about what will we do when we lose the cities?" Lenora Lemke recalled of ISIS commanders. "You think: The Islamic State. They are big. They have a system that will help you. But then when the time comes, they just put you in a mosque to stay there."
"When you eat one bread for two days and your kid for one year couldn't walk because she was so hungry. She has no teeth because there is no vitamins. Every mother could not accept this," she said.
"First time, you can say: It's for the sake of Allah. I do this for Allah, for my God. But when your kid is crying and rolling on the earth, you say to yourself: Are you crazy? What does this have to do with Islam?"
Lemke's German husband survived the fighting and is now in the custody of the SDF. She insists he did not fight for ISIS but was merely operating the group's IT system, and that she was only a housewife.
"I do nothing. And my husband is not a fighter. He is just a technical guy. He operates laptops.
He killed nobody," she said, but admitted following ISIS was a mistake. "But we are a part of it. We support them. We are living with them. That's when I realize: This is not good. I live here, I have my life, but we are part of the terrorizing, the killing of people."
CNN reached out to Lenora Lemke's family in Germany. Her father declined to speak with CNN, but asked to hear the message she recorded for him while waiting to be transferred to a refugee camp.
"He never gave up on me," she said of her father. "He said, 'I know she is alive and she will come back.' They will see us soon, I hope so." She looked into the camera and added in German: "I hope to see you soon, I really love you. Hopefully, we'll be together soon."
Cornelia Liebau, the mayor of Lemke's central German hometown of Sangerhausen-Breitenbach, said the family was relieved to hear their daughter is alive. "She's only 19 years old with two small children," she said in a statement. "I think she deserves a second chance."


A person may not even know they have a prescription drug abuse problem until they attempt to (or are forced to) stop taking the medication. For these people, it is only the experience of going through drug withdrawal that they finally realize they have a prescription drug abuse problem.
A recent study by the CDC found that enough narcotics are prescribed every year to medicate every adult in the United States every day for a month.
Day Rehab Services for Drug and Alcohol - AZ.
Day rehab services are available in AZ. for addicted individuals who are not able to dedicate themselves to a full time schedule while going through drug rehabilitation. People in AZ. who take part in day rehab services will receive intensive counseling and therapy during the day based of a catered treatment plan which has been created by professional substance abuse counselors to suit their needs. Day rehab services are offered 5-7 days per week and the client will normally spend about 6 -8 hours in treatment each day. Some individuals in AZ. may find this to be an appropriate recovery option, because they are able to take care of their responsibilities at work and home while still being able to address their problems with drug or alcohol abuse.

Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes ski jumping to new lengths at world championships

Canada's Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes soars through the air at the fourth stage of the 64. four hills ski jumping tournament in Bischofshofen, Austria, Wednesday, Jan. 6 Photo by Matthias Schroder
Calgary's Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes shattered his Canadian ski jumping distance record at the ski flying world championships in Tauplitz Bad Mitterndorf, Austria on Thursday.
Flying 212.5 metres in qualifying, the 24-year-old eclipsed his own mark of 205 metres, set in 2013 in the Czech Republic. At that time, he was the first Canadian to fly farther than 200 metres.

Even more impressive is the fact Boyd-Clowes took a year-long break from the sport following the 2014 Sochi Olympics and only returned to World Cup competition in November.
"Usually once an athlete takes a year plus off it doesn't come back as well as everyone wants … especially for the athlete," noted Canadian ski jumping head coach Gregor Linsig in an e-mail from Japan where he is preparing for World Cup competitions there with Canadian female ski jumpers Atsuko Tanaka and Taylor Henrich, both of Calgary.
"He's in a good spot now, physically and mentally," Linsig added about Boyd-Clowes. "He has committed himself 100 per cent to live in Europe and train with the American Team and it's paying off.
"It's very impressive to see him fly that far, hopefully this weekend can be a new highlight for him, everyone is so happy for Mac."
Even with the lengthy distance, competition is stiff. Boyd-Clowes sits 19th after the qualifying round and will have some big ground to make up on Friday to catch leader Anders Fannemel of Norway.
He is peaking at the right time, though. Boyd-Clowes' top result of the World Cup season is a 20th in Willengen, Germany, which came last weekend.

Personalized genetic age table for Chewie
How are Chewie's ancestors represented in his DNA?
DNA is inherited in pieces, called chromosomes, that are passed along from parent to offspring. Each generation, these chromosomes are broken up and shuffled a bit in a process known as recombination. So, the length of the segments your dog shares with his ancestors decreases with each generation above him: he shares longer segments with his mom than his grandma, longer segments with his grandma than his great-grandma, and so on.
How does Embark know which breeds are in Chewie?
We can use the length of segments Chewie shares with our reference dogs to see how many generations it has been since they last shared an ancestor. Long segments of DNA that are identical to known purebred dogs tell Embark's scientists that Chewie has, without a doubt, a relative from that breed. By testing over 200,000 genetic markers, we build up his genes one DNA segment at a time, to learn the ancestry with great certainty. Other dog DNA tests look at many fewer genetic markers and have to take a guess at breed ancestry based on that.
What does this mean for Chewie's looks and behavior?
Look closely and you'll probably find Chewie has some physical and/or behavioral resemblance with his ancestor's breeds. The exact similarity depends on which parts of DNA Chewie shares with each breed. Some traits associated with each breed are listed in the Breed & Ancestry section of our website. Embark will tell you even more about Chewie's traits soon!
"My husband who was ONLY going to get fish food came home with a love story about this dog. I called to find out about him & we were told he'd been dropped off by a homeless man that day w/no explanation. It took me weeks to find his foster & weeks to see if anyone would claim him. They did not & the rest is history. Chewie is an agility master/hunter. He acts like a toddler when he doesn't get his way & hates peanut butter. He loves to go fishing & protect his family (despite his 10lb frame)."

The Miniature Pinscher is a small breed of dog originating from Germany. The breed's earliest ancestors may have included the German Pinscher mixed with Italian greyhounds and dachshunds.
Chihuahuas have a huge personality that defies their tiny frame, known to be highly active and intelligent canines.
The Dachshund, meaning "badger dog" in German, is a lively breed with a friendly personality and a great sense of smell. Known for their long and low bodies, they are spirited hunters that excel in both above and below-ground work. They come in three different coat varieties (smooth, wirehaired or longhaired) and can be miniature or standard size.
Poodle (Small)
A highly intelligent and playful dog, Miniature and Toy Poodles make for great lap dogs and companions.
This ancient breed is the perfect lapdog. Sweet and easygoing, they want nothing more than to be close to their humans.

Our algorithms predict this is the most likely family tree to explain Chewie's breed mix, but this family tree may not be the only possible one.
Through Chewie's mitochondrial DNA we can trace his mother's ancestry back to where dogs and people first became friends. This map helps you visualize the routes that his ancestors took to your home. Their story is described below the map.
Chewie's Haplogroup
A2 is a very ancient maternal line. Most likely it was one of the major female lines that contributed to the very first domesticated dogs in Central Asia about 15,000 years ago. Some of the line stayed in Central Asia to the present day, and frequently appear as Tibetan Mastiffs and Akitas. Those that escaped the mountains of Central Asia sought out other cold spots, and are now found among Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian Huskies. This lineage is also occasionally found in several common Western breeds, such as German Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers. Curiously, all New Guinea Singing Dogs descend from this line. These are an ancient and very interesting breed found in the mountains of Papua New Guinea. Unfortunately, they are now endangered. They are closely related to the Australian dingo, so you could say its cousins are dingos! This line is also common in village dogs in Southeast and East Asia. Unlike many other lineages, A2 did not spread across the whole world, probably because it did not have the opportunity to hitch its wagon to European colonialism - or because these dogs just prefer hanging out in mountains, tundras, islands, and other hard-to-reach places!
Chewie's Haplotype
Part of the A2 haplogroup, this haplotype occurs most commonly in Akitas and Maltese.
Ms. Dixie (Dixie Dew)
Chelsie7G2
Dingos commonly possess this haplogroup.
Through Chewie's Y-chromosome we can trace his father's ancestry back to where dogs and people first became friends. This map helps you visualize the routes that his ancestors took to your home. Their story is described below the map.
H1a.4
Some of the wolves that became the original dogs in Central Asia around 15,000 years ago came from this long and distinguished line of male dogs. After domestication, they followed their humans from Asia to Europe and then didn't stop there. They took root in Europe, eventually becoming the dogs that founded the Vizsla breed 1,000 years ago. The Vizsla is a Central European hunting dog, and all male Vizslas descend from this line. During the Age of Exploration, like their owners, these pooches went by the philosophy, "Have sail, will travel!" From the windy plains of Patagonia to the snug and homey towns of the American Midwest, the beaches of a Pacific paradise, and the broad expanse of the Australian outback, these dogs followed their masters to the outposts of empires. Whether through good fortune or superior genetics, dogs from the A1a lineage traveled the globe and took root across the world. Now you find village dogs from this line frolicking on Polynesian beaches, hanging out in villages across the Americas, and scavenging throughout Old World settlements. You can also find this "prince of patrilineages" in breeds as different as German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Pugs, Border Collies, Scottish Terriers, and Irish Wolfhounds. No male wolf line has been as successful as the A1a line!
Part of the large A1a haplogroup, this haplotype occurs in village dogs in Colombia. It is common in small dogs like Dachshund, Miniature Dachshund, and Chihuahuas, but can also be found in larger breeds like Golden Retrievers.
Benito ("Beni")
Dogs with A1a lineage travelled during European Colonial times.

Perils And Promise: Rural Students And Access To Advanced Placement
By Leoneda Inge • Feb 1, 2016
First-year teacher Elisa Oliver stands in front of her wall of 'inspirational quotes' in her AP Statistics and Mathematics classroom.

Some teachers and schools administrators say one of the biggest obstacles to success for public school students in rural communities is poverty. And research shows if you are poor, you have a good chance of being overlooked for gifted, honors or advanced classes.
In our series, Perils & Promise: Educating North Carolina's Rural Students, we spoke with students in an Advanced Placement class in Vance County about their path to success.
You could say Elisa Oliver hit the ground running after graduating from Duke University last spring. A few months after all that Pomp and Circumstance the 22-year-old was teaching an Advanced Placement Statistics class in Vance County Schools in Henderson.
Oliver's classroom is full of inspirational quotes.
"Be Silly, Be Honest, Be Kind. That's the background of my computer so they see that everyday, when I start class," Oliver said with a big smile.
Leoneda Inge looks at access to Advanced Placement courses for rural students in our series, 'Perils and Promise.'
Oliver is in Teach for America, which places high-achieving recent college graduates in mostly struggling school districts. Besides teaching AP Statistics, she also teaches Math 3, which includes a little bit of Geometry, Algebra II and Trigonometry. No, her major was not Math. It was Public Policy, with a minor in Education.
The reality is, it's hard to find and keep a good Math or Science teacher in rural school district's like Vance, where the drop-out rate is high and so is the poverty rate.
"How many people in this classroom have parents who graduated from college?" Reporter Leoneda Inge asked the class.
The question was posed because numbers from the National Center for Education Statistics show, students whose parents never attended college are less likely to take advanced high school classes or to apply to college at all. And college or some form of post-secondary education is a must in this new world of work.
Caroline Oakley is a 17-year-old senior at Northern Vance High School. She says her mother started college but did not finish.
"My mom is always like, take AP classes. I know this probably sounds bad, but it kind of gets you away from like the trouble students," said Oakley. "And I feel like you get a better education because you don't have as many people distracting the classroom and everything like that."
Plus, Caroline's boyfriend Lucas Hamrick is in the class. They take all of their classes together and are in competition with each other.
"I have the higher GPA, but we both have the same grades," said Hamrick. "It's 4.59."
It's not surprising most of the students in this class are White. Northern Vance High School is about 75-percent black. This AP class is 30-percent Black. Dajohn Henderson is African American. He says he was ahead in Math in 8th grade and he just followed the pack into this AP class.
"Last year I was in Pre-Calculus, so everybody in there was like, well anybody else want to do another math class, let's all do AP Statistics. And I was like, I'll do that," said Henderson.
A friendly competition or a nudge from classmates is helpful in moving more disadvantaged students toward rigorous coursework, but is it enough?
Sneha Shah Coltrane is the Director of the Division of Advanced Learning at the state Department of Public Instruction.
"It's important for every teacher, every school in every district to have high expectations for every child. That is not an option. We must have those high expectations," said Coltrane.
Research out of the University of New Hampshire shows only about half of the rural school districts across America have students enrolled in AP courses. North Carolina stands out, though. The North Carolina Advanced Placement Partnership is specifically working to broaden AP access in 23 rural school districts. Coltrane says that means all 115 school districts here have students enrolled in AP courses.
"The key is, how are we preparing our students, what types of frameworks are we building to support a culture of excellence in our schools," said Coltrane. "And ensure we haven't put up some barriers that we may have not realized we've done?"
And the state has removed several barriers. AP and International Baccalaureate exams are now free for all students. And you know those students with GPA's well over 4.0? Well, starting with this year's 9th graders, students who take any college approved courses, not just AP or IB, but even technical courses, will get that extra quality point – a move to help level the playing field that has traditionally given urban and suburban students a big advantage over their rural peers.

Perils And Promise: Steering Workers Down A New Career Pathway

Leoneda Inge reports on career pathways for rural workers in our series 'Perils and Promise.'
Vance County no longer has the strong economic based it used to have in textile manufacturing. Today, it's becoming more and more clear one of the best workforce opportunities for workers here is in advanced manufacturing. But like many in rural communities, Vance County residents will likely have to leave home for these jobs.

A Father's Day Homage To The Warming Nostalgia Of Dad Rock
As it's Father's Day, what better way to pay homage to our quasi-religious DIY-ing, stonewash double-denim wearing, hatchback driving dads, than with this comprehensive list of classic dad rock tracks.
Posted: 21 June 2020 Words: Sam McLuckie
Baba, papa, pater, father or dad. Whatever your personal preference for the word dad, there are certain things for which they are famous; their quasi-religious devotion to DIY, encyclopaedic knowledge of screw types, borderline obsession to carefully masking taping the edges of any surface prior to painting, devotion to stonewash denim and penchant for paint-splashed deck shoes at least twenty years before they became popular amongst the vintage store scouring, hipster merchants who reside in each city worldwide. Above all, though, dads are renowned for their utter adherence to strictly consuming 'dad rock' at every available opportunity. It is not even certain if dads are aware of other music genres outside of this rock-laden sphere? To dads, music production effectively ceased once Blur and Oasis had traded their final blows and the Britpop wars drew to their bloodless conclusion. Guitars had been shattered, drums splintered, bass guitars slapped, and elaborate keyboard setups battered as music moved on to bold new horizons – but nobody told dads.
In the troubling times of Covid-19, and particularly on this strangest of Father's Days, this dedication to nostalgia is something to be celebrated in many ways, though. Ask any child of a music loving dad who has developed their own interest in music and often the genesis of their appreciation is related to that one Raiders of the Lost Ark moment; set deep within the sacred, dusty confines of their dad's loft or garage, they stumbled upon the musty pile of musical gold. Eyes adjusting rapidly in the half-light, peering expectantly through the gloom, blowing off years of dust and setting eyes upon the front cover of Whitesnake's Lovehunter for the first time was a seminal moment in many adolescent's lives. It is for these reasons that I have compiled an essential list of dad rock classics as an homage to our happy nostalgic foot-tapping and gentle shoulder swaying dads. Dad rock is dead, long live dad rock.
Neil Young - 'Rockin' in the Free World'
Shakey, The Godfather of Grunge, the Cantankerous Canuck. Like Gandalf, Neil Young goes by many names, but his reputation remains consistent as one member from the golden generation of music who actually managed to move chameleon-like through the different decades with his reputation relatively unscathed. It's not all roses in the garden of Neil Young, though – just ask anybody what was happening during Trans or Everybody's Rockin' and I'm not sure they'll be able to provide a coherent answer.
'Rockin' in the Free World' is the nadir of dad rock. This is no longer the vulnerable Neil Young of Harvest or After The Goldrush. This is Neil Young at his most raw and uncompromising, seemingly stuck in a trance of dad like anger, the like of which can only be experienced once you have dropped a Pot Noodle on the new carpet that your dad had spent the weekend exasperatedly laying.
Blue Oyster Cult - 'Don't Fear the Reaper'
There are many great mysteries in the world we collectively inhabit. Some of the most puzzling are: the shape and angles of go-to TV food critic Greg Wallace's head; how in Mad Max: Road Warrior Mel Gibson's aforementioned character found time to bleach his sideburns, and just how responsible was Carol Baskin for the unexplained disappearance of her husband? Trifling as these quandaries may be, none come close to the mystery of the cowbell on Blue Oyster Cult's iconic 'Don't Fear the Reaper'. The dedication that drummer, Albert Bouchard, displays to maintain a steady, percussive cowbell beat for virtually the entirety of the song's 5:08 playtime acts as the mystical adhesive that pulls the song together as a cohesive entity. Whose idea was it to include the cowbell? Who thought it would be appropriate to play it for so long? Why does it induce a Zen-like trance state in any listener as it attempts to break the shackles of the song's other instruments? All worthy questions that are possibly best left unanswered.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - 'Freebird'
After the death of members Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines, Lynyrd Skynyrd continued as a band, but, perhaps they never achieved the dizzying heights they may have had Ronnie remained firmly at the helm.
'Freebird' is essentially dad rock Americana in its purest, uncut form. Driven by what is possibly the greatest guitar solo committed to tape, 'Freebird' speaks to the dad in all of us as we struggle break the oppressive shackles of housebound quarantine and soar onto the open road in our 1.6L modest family hatchback. Treat yourself, give it a blast and air solo behind the breakfast island like Allen Collins.
Tom Petty - 'I Won't Back Down'
Tom Petty's 'I Won't Back Down' is the de facto dad protest song. It is to middle aged men what Beyonce's - 'Run the World' is to women the world over. Since its 1989 release, dads have recoiled to places of safety – sheds and meticulously ordered garages mainly - quietly reciting the lyrics under their breath following an argument with 'Sue' about how appropriate it is to eat twelve Yorkshire puddings, in light of their recent high blood pressure results. We know that dad's never back down from any argument, even in the face of overwhelming contrary evidence and this song is the perfect antidote to entrench their blinkered point of view.
D-A-D - 'Laugh 'n' A1/2'
See band name: D-A-D. No explanation needed. Not a particularly exceptional song, but had to be included.
Bruce Springsteen - 'Hungry Heart'
Track six on the Boss aka Bruce Springsteen's utterly essential The River, this whimsical number speaks to all the dads who have dreamt about hitting the road in their crash-resistant Volvo estate, and 'leaving it all behind'. Let's be honest, the protagonist at the heart of the song - the man with the hungry heart - is a bit of a dick. He had a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack, went out for a ride and he never went back. That's the sort of behaviour that will have social services knocking at your door faster than you can say "child maintenance."
Despite leaving behind a shattered family unit, the rest of the song is remarkably optimistic. This song is archetypal dad rock and all the better for it.
Billy Joel - 'We Didn't Start the Fire'
Seemingly the result of a lost bet that resulted in Billy Joel having to recite the names of as many pop culture icons in 4:47 flat, 'We Didn't Start the Fire' rattles along at an unrelenting pace. Perhaps not the literal meaning of the song that Joel intended with the metaphorical title, this song speaks directly to dads' steadfast insistence on burning absolutely everything. The type of dads who wait until every house within a mile radius have opened their windows before unleashing the mightiest of infernos, stacked high with your old Buckaroo and Operation boardgames. If nothing else, this song stands as the greatest example in pop music existence of how to rhyme the words 'homicide' and 'thalidomide'.
The Eagles - 'Hotel California'
There has been a lot of conjecture about the exact meaning of The Eagle's dad rock classic. Is it a reference to the dark, seedy nature of Hollywood life? An ode to the gradual erosion of innocence in the face of incessant temptation? A guitar-laden, harmony-infused odyssey that explores the eternal cosmic battle between good and evil? Or simply the tragic lament of a wandering double glazing salesman who checked in to a particularly low quality Air B'n'B? I like to think none of the above. I imagine it as the result of one dad's alcohol-laced fever dream, experienced in the aftermath of a particularly raucous BBQ with the neighbours. Tossing restlessly in the sticky, summer night – lucid visions flickering vividly between images of Linda Lusardi circa 1987 and state-of-the-art belt sanders – the dad in questions wrestles with what it all means in a state of semi- consciousness, only to be forgotten upon the crimson drenched dawn. Essential dad listening.
Deep Purple - 'Smoke on the Water'
The one that got away. A conservative estimate would suggest 87% of all dads have attempted to learn this Deep Purple dad rock staple since its release in 1973. Combining a Sunday morning tip run to dispose of old cupboard units with a stop at the nearest of branch of Argos to purchase a serviceable electric guitar and amp combo, many a dad has retreated to his safe space to spend days, nay weeks, doggedly learning the opening riff. Emerging sweat-drenched, dishevelled, and complete with bloody finger tips that now share the same carbon density of diamond in their newly evolved form of paternal rock god. This song, perhaps more than any other, stands as a monument to the one time hopes and aspirations of all dads – an inspiration of sorts. Something they now channel in to their ability to lay exceptional decking and patios at the fraction of the cost of a professional operation.
Fleetwood Mac - 'The Chain'
A song, that for a certain demographic of people, will forever be associated with the high octane thrills of mid 90s Formula One and the dad-like magnificence of Nigel Mansell's moustache. No other popular rock band can provide such a broad canvas of hits that both mums and dads find acceptable on long car journeys. Fleetwood Mac have come a long way from the blues-infused early days of Peter Green to the latter day, radio-friendly Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham incarnation. One of the most hit-laden and dysfunctional bands in the history of soft rock, Fleetwood make all millennial dads realise how good their own parents had it in the 'dad rock' halcyon decades of the 70s, 80s and 90s. For their Fleetwood Mac we have Empire of the Sun; for their Simon and Garfunkel we have The Kooks; for their Bob Dylan we have James Blunt. When it comes to 'The Chain', has there ever been a more satisfying pay-off and bassline in any song before and after? If you don't love dad rock now, you will never love dad rock again.

In order to learn how to eat healthy we first need to undestand how food digestion process works.
What Happens When We Eat?
Our traditional and most common menu usually consist of coffee with a toast with butter for breakfast, a sandwich with a side for lunch and usually a three course dinner including dessert and a coffee. You can also add a glass or two of wine and an appetizer into the picture if they are eating out.
But can this eating pattern be considered healthy?
Choosing what to eat and how to eat healthy is best done with some knowledge, so let's learn a little bit about food digestion process.
Digestion starts in the mouth, assisted by chewing but mainly by saliva, which contains certain digestive enzymes. This begins the digestion of complex carbohydrates such as whole bread, pasta or rice.
When the food gets in the stomach, it is acted on by gastric juices, whose composition varies according to the food ingested.
From the stomach it passes through the pylorus into the intestine where bile, along with other pancreatic juices, completes the digestive process. At this point the essential nutrients are absorbed into the blood and are carried to all internal organs of your body. Any unused material goes into the large intestine and is then eliminated. Fluids pass through the kidneys, where they are filtered and waste is then expelled.
I am not going to go into deep details of digestive processes, and the above quick overview should be enough for you to get an idea what happens with pretty much any type of the food after we put it in our mouth.
But it is a totally different story when we try and eat different types of food at the same time.
The reason for that are the different enzymes that process our food, which work great alone, but together can cause indigestion and other problems.
Incorrect and unhealthy food combinations risk delaying digestion times, thus impeding absorption of necessary nutrients.
Let's take a look at typical dietary habits.
How Do We Usually Eat Our Dinner?
For instance, let's take a nice plate of Italian pasta (complex carbohydrates). When it gets in our mouth it is attacked first by ptyalin in saliva and then by the gastric juices in the stomach, which proceed with digestion.
Note that we are talking about plain pasta without the meat sauce, because that would complicate matters as you will soon see.
After pasta let's move on to the main course – beef stake. The proteins it contains have completely opposite digestive requirements to those of the pasta.
The stake is attacked in the mouth by pepsin and not ptyalin and in the stomach by hydrochloric acid, creating an acidic environment that suspends the carbohydrate processing of the pasta. Until the meat passes through, the pasta stays where it is and the digestive process slows down.
As you can see, when you combine two or more foods together in one meal the digestion is getting complicated. And it gets even more so when we move onto the dessert. (simple sugars and carbs).
Sugars should go directly to the intestine to be absorbed at the gastric level, but since we already have other foods in the stomach and intestines they are stopped and begin fermenting.
Your digestive process is now completely out of order, but why not add a nice cup of coffee to the mix?
Coffee increases the already existing acidity level and masks the uncomfortable situation, your feeling of tiredness, sleepiness, and digestive difficulty, by giving the nervous system a small jolt.
The above example teaches us how to eat healthy and point out evident food combination errors in our regular eating patterns but how do we know what are the correct food combinations?
Check out my healthy eating guide to answer that question!


Young Ambassadors Emily, Grace and Laura with their RE teachers, Lynsey Wilkinson and Holly Smith.
On Monday 6th June 2016, RE Ambassadors from all around the country gathered together for the annual Young Ambassadors' Conference. It was, as always, a privilege to work alongside other young people who share the same commitment and motivation as we do.
We were treated to a wonderful keynote speech from Lord Robert Winston. He really made us think about the connections between science and religion. We are still discussing his views on whether humans' intelligence should be used to perform procedures such as organ transplants. His interpretation of Genesis 1:26 really challenged us to think outside of the box. We also loved the way he used artwork of William Blake and sketches from Galileo to help explain some of his ideas.
In the second part of the conference, every school team got the opportunity to present their research on a minority faith and how it could help people prepare for life in modern Britain. It was obvious how much time and effort the Ambassadors had put into making their presentations accurate, engaging and specific to the brief. It was a pleasure not only to present but also to listen and learn from other ambassadors.
The RE Council provided a unique and wonderful opportunity to meet other Ambassadors and discuss topical issues facing the future of religious education. We are especially thankful to Helen Harrison for all of the hard work she put into organising the event.

Investigation of pre- and post-zygotic reproductive barriers between two host-plant complex races of the parasitic wasp Cotesia congregata (Say) [Hymenoptera: Braconidae]
Justin Bredlau, Virginia Commonwealth University
Karen Kester
Investigations of host-associated differentiation of parasitoids have largely focused on the degree of molecular genetic differentiation, but a true test of species status must examine the mating patterns of differentiated populations to determine if they can interbreed in the wild and produce viable offspring. We examined possible mechanisms of isolation between two genetically distinct host-plant complex races of the braconid, Cotesia congregata, originating from hosts on tobacco and catalpa. We compared male responses to female pheromones, elements of male acoustic courtship signals, and breeding success between the two races. Males responded to pheromones from both sources and male courtship signals showed only subtle differences, suggesting that factors other than courtship behavior may be involved in isolation of the two races. However, nearly 90% of females from one hybrid cross failed to produce offspring, leading to post-zygotic isolation. Development time, emerged brood size, and sex ratios between the races also differed.

China's probe sends panoramic image of moon's far side
(Agence France-Presse) - January 11, 2019 - 4:18pm
BEIJING, China — China's lunar probe has sent the first panoramic image of its landing site since its historic arrival on the far side of the moon, showing the cratered landscape it is exploring.
The Chang'e-4 mission -- named after a moon goddess -- made the world's first soft landing on the moon's far side on January 3, a major step in China's ambitions to become a space superpower.
China lands probe on far side of moon: state TV
A rover dubbed Yutu-2 -- the name of the moon goddess's pet, the 'Jade Rabbit' -- successfully separated from the lander and drove onto the moon's surface Thursday.
A camera deployed on Chang'e-4 took a photo that was released by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) on Friday.
The picture shows the grey moonscape, the lander and the rover with the track marks it left behind. The image is a circular, 360-degree shot, which scientists used to create another wide panoramic picture.
"Researchers have completed the preliminary analysis of the lunar surface topography around the landing site based on the image taken by the landing camera," the CNSA said in a statement.
Chang'e-4, the Yutu-2 and the Queqiao relay satellite that beams data back to Earth are "in a stable condition, and all work was carried out as planned," the statement said.
The 140-kilogram (308-pound) rover resumed activities on Thursday after being on "stand-by mode" for five days.
Chang'e-4 landed within the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) Basin, the largest and deepest impact crater in the solar system.
Scientists have said the far side is a key area for solving several unknowns about the moon, including its internal structure and thermal evolution.
This is the second Chinese probe to land on the moon, following the first Yutu rover mission on its Earth-facing side in 2013.

Cult economist jailed for hiding rare coins says the coins are his now
Martin Armstrong, shown in 2000. A receiver for his bankrupt firm demanded that he surrender assets including rare coins; Armstrong said he'd given the assets away, but a judge didn't believe him.
(Mitch Jacobson / Associated Press)
The 58 rare coins at the center of two federal lawsuits are exceptionally valuable.
Now a bankrupt company's receiver wants them.
And an antique dealer wants them.
And so does Martin Armstrong, a self-taught economist with a cult following who spent years behind bars for what the U.S. said was a $700 million Ponzi scheme and for allegedly hiding assets, including what may be those very same coins.
Armstrong's story is one of Wall Street's more bizarre tales — and the newest chapter makes it even more absurd.
Hailed as a genius by his acolytes and a crackpot by traditional economists, Armstrong made his name in the '80s and '90s for calling Russia's financial collapse and other crises, using his boom-bust "confidence cycle" theory. In 1999, prosecutors called him something else: a criminal, for swindling Japanese corporate investors.
Caesar's bust
He was also sued that year by regulators and the receiver for his bankrupt firm, who demanded that he surrender 102 gold bars, 699 gold coins, an ancient bust of Julius Caesar, and rare coins valued at $12.9 million. Armstrong said he'd given the assets away, but a judge didn't believe him and locked him up him for almost seven years, then the longest jailing ever for civil contempt in a federal white-collar case.
Armstrong later spent another five years behind bars after pleading guilty to conspiracy. He wasn't released until 2011, when he returned home to southern New Jersey and began holding conferences for his followers.
At least for the coins, that's largely where matters stood until March 2014, when, according to court papers, a day laborer walked into a Philadelphia thrift shop operated by George and Andrew Antoniak and sold them a box of coins for $6,000. The laborer said he found them while clearing out a house in New Jersey, according to the Antoniaks.
The coins' value — $2.5 million — soon became apparent. One of them, a gold penny from the year 1257, is one of just five known to exist and is one of the rarest, most valuable coins in English history. The Scottish coins come from the mid-16th century, and the Greek coins date from 500 BC to 300 BC. The Antoniaks consigned the coins to a Dallas-based auction house, Heritage Numismatic Coins.
"None of those coins are replaceable, all are unique," Armstrong's lawyers claim.
Secret compartment
In 2017, Armstrong, a lifelong collector, learned that Heritage planned to auction the coins, and he claimed them as his own. In turn, the Antoniaks sued Armstrong, saying they'd never heard of him before he sought possession and asking the court to declare them the rightful owners. Armstrong then filed his own suit in Pennsylvania.
No one told the U.S. government or the receiver for Armstrong's New Jersey-based company, Princeton Economics International Ltd.
But the receiver, Alan M. Cohen, and his lawyer found out, and in May he filed his own court action in Manhattan claiming title to the coins, citing a decade-old court order. A judge ordered Armstrong deposed, and, Cohen claims, Armstrong finally came clean.
Armstrong admitted that he didn't give the coins to an Australian business partner but instead hid them and others "in a secret compartment in the basement of his mother's home, explaining, in his words, that they had been 'taken off the books,'" in anticipation of his firm's initial public offering, Cohen wrote in a brief.
"Further, Armstrong admitted under oath that the 58 coins, whose whereabouts are now known, were among at least $8 million to $9 million in rare coins that he did not reveal he had during the contempt proceedings for the same reason."
But Armstrong, now 69, said in his own filing that that's not what happened, and that he didn't admit to concealing millions of dollars worth of coins. He said he surrendered coins in 1999 and 2000, and that he assumed the FBI or the receiver had seized others. He also suggested that the 58 coins had at some point been stolen from him.
"Marty did not hide coins or assets," Armstrong's attorneys said in a court filing last month. "Either the government had seized them, or they had been stolen sometime in 1999."
On Thursday, U.S. District P. Kevin Castel in Manhattan heard arguments in the receiver's action for control of the coins, which are being held by the auction house. The receiver says it's no coincidence that the coins surfaced around the same time in 2017 that he was seeking to end his years-long litigation against Armstrong.
Reached late Wednesday, Tancred Schiavoni, a lawyer representing the receiver, said he's grateful to the court for its attention over the years.
"My clients acted in utmost good faith at all times," said Steve Harvey, a lawyer for the Antoniaks. He said they didn't know Armstrong until he claimed to be the owner of the coins. "They are Martin Armstrong's most recent victims."
Offering theory
The coins' backstory is just one mystery that may be answered in the case. Another is how Armstrong has managed to get by since his 2011 release from prison. The Antoniaks have a theory.
"A fair inference is that, since his release from prison, Armstrong has been using coins and bullion that he hid from the receiver," they wrote in court papers in April, in which they accused Armstrong of withholding evidence from them. "This helps to explain how the coins at issue in this case came to be found by the man who sold them to the [Antoniaks]. Armstrong hid them and somehow lost control of them during the years of his incarceration — 2000 to 2011."
In an interview Wednesday, Armstrong dismissed the suggestion of theft, as he did almost two decades ago. "It's just total nonsense," he said. "I do conferences. I am not living off of friggin' coins."

Oldest Douglas DC-3 departs Griffin!
Phoenix Rises From the Kudzu?
A Phoenix rose from the ashes or should I say from the kudzu of Central Georgia. The oldest Douglas DC -3 in existence returned to the skies this past month, departing Griffin, Georgia heading for its new home in Punta Gorda, Florida .
The aircraft, eventually designated N133D, (c/n #1499) was the sixth DC-3 off the Douglas DST line. It was delivered to American Airlines in 1936. It served during World War II as a cargo and transport aircraft for the Army Air Corps / Air Force and after the war it returned home to American Airlines.
In 1950 American sold the aircraft to Ozark Airlines where it transported freight and passengers until 1968 when it logged its final Ozark mission, Flight 311, ferrying passengers between Chicago O'Hare and Atlanta, Georgia. Ozark sold its DC-3s to Airline Aviation Academy to make way for the jet aircraft that were quickly replacing propeller piston aircraft, like the DC-3, as the preferred vehicle for passenger transport. In 1972 Mr. Bob McSwiggan purchased Airline Aviation Academy and its DC-3s, renaming it Academy Airlines. He operated the DC-3s including N133D from their new home base in Griffin, Georgia.
During its life with Academy Airlines it served primarily as a freighter, making flights hauling anything from newspapers to auto parts to computers from anywhere in the southeast including, Tallahassee, Boca Raton, Orlando and Atlanta. It even landed at the Shuttle Landing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida transporting the auxiliary power units for the Space Shuttle Challenger back to the manufacturer for overhaul.
Unfortunately, in the 90's it wound up on the ground in Griffin, where it hasn't moved since. It has stood watch over old the grass field at the Griffin-Spalding County Airport for many years where the sun, wind, rain, even ice and snow have taken their toll. Occasionally, DC-3 enthusiasts and historians have ventured here to Griffin to pay their respects, ask questions and take pictures of the weathered hull sitting motionless amongst the waiving grass.
Luckily, this past year Mr. Frank Moss purchased the old girl, (formerly known as the American Airlines Flagship "Tennessee"). He and his family have made numerous trips from their home in Florida up here to Griffin bringing with them parts, including new engines, propellers, cable, wiring and control surfaces where they strove to get her in good enough flying shape so that they may fly her to Florida where she will undergo a complete restoration.
It was sad to see her go but I think an even greater tragedy would have been to watch as the kudzu eventually claimed her.

Can Canvas handle student-editable files?
I want to set up a spreadsheet so my student can connect with each other and for teams for their final assignment. Basically, I'd like the same functionality as Google Sheet where you let anyone with permissions edit it. Is there a way to do this in Canvas? Barring that, is there a way to export a list of all student emails so I can give them permission to edit an external worksheet in Google Drive? Thanks for any pointers you can share!
Jennifer, you can allow any page in Canvas to be edited by students - How do I edit a page in a course? - by changing the Options at the bottom of the page (when you are editing a page) to "Teachers and Students" can edit this page. So, you could set up your table (or anything else you need) on the page and then let students edit it.
Another option is to use a Google Sheet (either embedded on a page or linked to a page/Module) with the settings adjusted so that anyone with the link to edit it. That way students could edit it without you adding them to the sheet.
Thank you! This is exactly the functionality I want.

Q: How to update hierarchical index after drop in Pandas? I set up my DataFrame like so:
cols = ['molecule_id', 'atom_id', 'atom_type', 'x', 'y', 'z']
data = pd.DataFrame()\
         .from_dict(data_dict, orient='index', columns=cols)\
         .set_index(['molceule_id', 'atom_id'])
print(data.head(8))

Here data_dict: dict[str, list]
It results in:
                    atom_type         x         y         z
molecule_id atom_id
0           0               C -2.893477 -2.893477 -2.893477
            1               S -3.293477 -2.893477 -2.893477
1           0               C -2.893477 -1.736086 -1.736086
            1               S -3.293477 -1.736086 -1.736086
2           0               C -1.736086 -2.893477 -1.736086
            1               S -2.136086 -2.893477 -1.736086
3           0               C -1.736086 -1.736086 -2.893477
            1               S -2.136086 -1.736086 -2.893477

Later in the code, I need to remove a molecule (say #1) from this frame, thus I do:
data.drop(labels=1, level='molecule_id', axis=0, inplace=True)

                    atom_type         x         y         z
molecule_id atom_id
0           0               C -1.736086 -2.893477 -1.736086
            1               S -2.136086 -2.893477 -1.736086
2           0               C -2.893477 -2.893477 -2.893477
            1               S -3.293477 -2.893477 -2.893477
3           0               C -2.893477 -1.736086 -1.736086
            1               S -3.293477 -1.736086 -1.736086
4           0               C -1.736086 -2.893477  0.578695
            1               S -2.136086 -2.893477  0.578695

At this point, I would want to adjust 'molecule_id' index to achieve the desired output:
                    atom_type         x         y         z
molecule_id atom_id
0           0               C -1.736086 -2.893477 -1.736086
            1               S -2.136086 -2.893477 -1.736086
1           0               C -2.893477 -2.893477 -2.893477
            1               S -3.293477 -2.893477 -2.893477
2           0               C -2.893477 -1.736086 -1.736086
            1               S -3.293477 -1.736086 -1.736086
3           0               C -1.736086 -2.893477  0.578695
            1               S -2.136086 -2.893477  0.578695

Upon setting an index Pandas seem to create FrozenList, thus I could not do something like:
data.index.levels[0] = new_id_level

The solution I have in mind is to rebuild MultiIndex from scratch and apply to the DataFrame with set_index():
atoms_per_molecule = 2
num_molecules = len(data)//atoms_per_molecule
molecule_id = np.repeat(range(num_molecules), atoms_per_molecule)
atom_id = np.tile(range(atoms_per_molecule), num_molecules)
tuples = list(zip(molecule_id, atom_id))
names = ['molecule_id', 'atom_id']
multi_id = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples(tuples, names=names)
data.set_index(multi_id, inplace=True)

It works well but seems unreasonably complicated considering the number of drops I plan to perform.
Therefore, I am wondering if there are any other and more efficient ways to do so?
P.S: Maybe it is possible to create some kind of resettable index using a given pattern?

A: Sample dataframe:
import pandas as pd

data = pd.DataFrame({
    'a': [0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3],
    'b': [0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1],
    'col_1': [3, 14, 15, 92, 65, 35, 89, 79],
    'col_2': ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h']
})
data = data.set_index(['a', 'b'])
data = data.drop(labels=1, level='a', axis=0, inplace=False)
print(data)

This gives:
     col_1 col_2
a b
0 0      3     a
  1     14     b
  2     15     c
2 0     65     e
  1     35     f
3 0     89     g
  1     79     h

Modify index:
data.index = data.index.remove_unused_levels()
n = data.index.get_level_values(0).nunique()
data.index = data.index.set_levels(range(n), level=0)

When you drop rows from a dataframe, this does not change the underlying index. The first line modifies the index removing index levels that are no longer used in the dataframe. The second line counts the number of distinct values in the level 0 of the new index. Finally, the third line replaces level 0 values with consecutive integers.
The resulting dataframe looks as follows:
     col_1 col_2
a b
0 0      3     a
  1     14     b
  2     15     c
1 0     65     e
  1     35     f
2 0     89     g
  1     79     h

Q: What is the 0 indicate at end of the function in this code? What is the 0 define at the end of each function in this code?
Why this code set 0s at the end of the function?

canvas.addEventListener('mousedown', function(e) {
  model.dragging = getCircleForPosition(e.pageX, e.pageY);
}, 0);
canvas.addEventListener('mouseup', function() {
  model.dragging = undefined;
}, 0);
canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', function(e) {
  if (model.dragging) {
    model.dragging.x = e.pageX;
    model.dragging.y = e.pageY;
    redraw();
  }
}, 0);

A: In addEventListener you can basically pass three arguments event, callback and the third one is optional which takes a boolean true for enabling event capturing and false for enabling event bubbling. Here 0 will considered as false hence it will enable event bubbling on the events.

A: The 0 basically indicates a false value.
According to docs

true - The event handler is executed in the capturing phase
false-
Default. The event handler is executed in the bubbling phase

A: The third argument of the addEventListner function can ether be the options object or a boolean value indicating the capturing mode.

useCapture (Optional) --
  A Boolean indicating whether events of this type
  will be dispatched to the registered listener before being dispatched
  to any EventTarget beneath it in the DOM tree. Events that are
  bubbling upward through the tree will not trigger a listener
  designated to use capture. Event bubbling and capturing are two ways
  of propagating events which occur in an element that is nested within
  another element, when both elements have registered a handle for that
  event. The event propagation mode determines the order in which
  elements receive the event. See DOM Level 3 Events and JavaScript
  Event order for a detailed explanation. If not specified, useCapture
  defaults to false.

If your 0 value is interprets in a boolean context, it is to tell the even listener to not use the capture - which is the default.

Der Wasserhammerpuls oder Corrigan-Puls, lateinisch pulsus celer et altus, ist ein typisches Symptom einer schweren Ausprägung der Aortenklappeninsuffizienz. Er ist an den Arteriae radiales zu tasten und ist gekennzeichnet durch einen schnellen, stark tastbaren Puls. Dieser rührt von einer hohen Blutdruckamplitude her (d. h. der systolische Blutdruck ist hoch, der diastolische niedrig; typische Amplituden liegen bei über 100mmHg, z. B. 160/35 mmHg).
