I lost friends and hated myself because of epilepsy
Young Women - By Munde Okuna | March 11th 2017 at 09:13:17 GMT +0300
"I'm a very confident person, and sometimes, people ask me why I'm so proud. Well it's because of the discrimination I have faced as an epileptic. It has made me have to be twice as proud as I would have been had I not had the condition," says Maureen.
At age 13, Maureen went from being a bubbly, independent young girl to one who suffered humiliation and discrimination from the manifestations of epilepsy, including wetting herself during seizures.
Maureen was born in Machakos in 1994. "My mother had me when she was 20 years old. She had me under a tree. Because she could not afford to deliver in a hospital, my grandmother arranged for a local midwife to come help deliver me, but I guess I couldn't wait because by the time the she came, I had already popped out."
For the first couple of years of her life, Maureen lived with her grandparents as her mother returned to Moi University in Eldoret to complete her degree in education.
"My mother says she left me with my grandmother when I was one-month-old. But if you ask my grandmother, she will tell you it was when I was one-week-old."
Once her mother completed her studies and found a job, Maureen's mother took her and they lived in Muthethini, Machakos county. Her father, trained in law, got a job in Embu so the family had to be separated for a while.

The family was reunited in 2000, and Maureen attended school for the first time when she was six years old.
"My first day in school was embarrassing because I could neither speak Kiswahili nor English. All I knew was Kamba. When the teachers asked me my name, all I would do is smile. Luckily, there was another Kamba girl in my class who translated sentences for me."
Maureen says her inability to speak the national languages never hurt her self-esteem. "I was brought up a confident girl and my mother used to tell me not to worry, because I would learn."
Maureen and her parents moved to Nairobi in 2003 and that is the first time she encountered somebody with epilepsy.
"I was in Standard Four. I saw a boy fall to the ground and a teacher put a spoon in his mouth. I always flash back to that moment and now having gone through epilepsy myself, I think to myself – those teachers were wrong to put a spoon in that boy's mouth. That only worsened the situation."
First convulsion
Years passed and in 2007, Maureen experienced her very first convulsion. She was in boarding school.
"I don't remember what happened, but I later realised I had an attack because I bit my tongue. I also wet myself and had a severe headache," she narrates.
Maureen's parents tried to protect her and reassure her nothing was wrong with her. "After every attack, whenever I asked them why I had tongue bites, they told me it was normal for people to accidentally bite themselves during their sleep. And I believed them for a while."
This was until Maureen started to face discrimination at school.
Labelled demon-possessed
The attacks became an everyday occurrence and Maureen's friend pointed out to her that she might be epileptic and that the condition was associated with people who had demons.
"I refused to listen to what she was saying and told her that I was just sensitive to the cold."
Maureen began to experience depression when schoolmates who were once her friends started to distance themselves from her. "I am naturally a very social person, but with the condition, people didn't want to associate with me anymore. I felt so alone. I'd call my classmates to ask if we could meet and they would turn me down."
Maureen had to bathe at night to avoid the morning cold. Students started to call her dirty. "I don't know why they would say that because at the end of the day, we all showered, they just did so in the morning and I at night."
Maureen depended on drugs though she had not been diagnosed. She sat her KCPE exam and scored 391 marks out of 500. She was accepted at Moi Girls Secondary School, Nairobi. But because of her frequent convulsions, her parents opted to enroll her at a day school.
Maureen shuffled through six schools throughout her secondary school because of her condition.
The first school she enrolled in for Form One was a Catholic school, but her stay was short-lived – she was expelled for being a "distraction" because of her condition. Maureen breaks into tears as she recounts the way she was treated.
"The principal was a nun. I couldn't believe I was kicked out because of my condition. The picture I had of sisters was of caring people. But after that experience, I told my mother that she shouldn't expect me to go to a Catholic church. My mum told me the sister invited her for coffee many years later and I was mad at her," she says.
Maureen continues, "My mum offered to pay for the coffee and I wondered why. I told her she should have used the money on something else rather than someone who rejected me because of a condition that was not my fault."
When Maureen transferred to a new school, she experienced more discrimination and had to undergo counselling.
Although she had to skip many classes because of frequent attacks, Maureen says she did her best and got good grades – As and Bs.
Despite this, Maureen says the teachers would still yell at her for skipping classes and not performing well in some subjects.
Loses a tooth, almost goes blind
During one of the days when Maureen was out of class, a teacher saw her and sent her to run some errands.
"I told her I couldn't do it because I could feel a convulsion setting in. But she made me feel guilty. She said she was one of the teachers who took care of me so there was no reason to refuse to be sent," Maureen narrates.
Out of guilt, Maureen set off to run the errands. But on her way, had a convulsion and ended up falling to the ground. That was to be the beginning of another nightmare. "You see these scars near my eye and my missing tooth. That happened when I fell."
Maureen suffered some rectal bleeding and she was told she would lose sight in her right eye.
"I bled for a month. At first I thought it was my period, but it lasted too long and it was too heavy. I had to wear pampers, literally, because the pads could not hold the flow."
For the better part of 2009, Maureen was out of school and she was hospitalised. She was also finally diagnosed with epilepsy. During this time, Maureen attempted suicide by overdosing on pills. "It didn't work and when I came to, my mum was so disappointed in me. She said she loves me so much and couldn't understand why I would want to die and leave her."
Concerning the report she would lose her sight in the right eye, Maureen says, "I told my mother I wasn't going to undergo any surgery but I would depend on the God she kept on talking about who is faithful."
Call it coincidence or God incidence, but Maureen did not lose her sight, and the bleeding stopped.
Because of being in and out of school, and because of repeating classes, Maureen completed her high school studies in 2015, when she was 20 years old. She got a C-.
"I repeated Form Four because I wanted a better grade. Everyone was happy with my grade because they knew what I had gone through, but I felt I could do better. My mother tried to convince me to accept the grade, but I decided to repeat form four."
Maureen ended up getting the same grade, a C-. "The principal told me that my talent will show itself elsewhere and a grade is not everything. I am forever grateful to all the staff of St Catherine Girls High School Machakos, especially to the directors Mr and Mrs Musyoki for the love and the care they gave me during my time at the school."
Maureen is now in remission. She says she does not get convulsions anymore, and the signs of epilepsy seem to have subsided. Nonetheless, she still takes drugs to avoid any eventuality.
Modelling and Purple Day
Last year, Maureen took up modelling. During one show, the organiser saw her taking pills and asked her what they were for. "He thought they were contraceptives, but I told him to Google Purple Day."
Purple Day is an event designed to raise awareness on epilepsy. It takes place annually on March 26. It was started by Canadian Cassidy Megan in 2008 after her struggle with epilepsy.
This year, Maureen is organising a series of awareness events leading up to Purple Day.
"Epilepsy should not stop anyone from living a normal life. I don't limit myself. If I want to go out, I will. If I have to wear sunglasses because of sensitivity to light, I will. After all, it can be a form of swag. Let no other epileptic go through the self-hate I did. Love yourself and go after your dreams."
Maureen says it is unfair to discriminate against epileptics in the job market, because they can perform just as well as anybody else.
"Everyone has a right to a job. An employer should ensure his or her workers have access to medication and they should be fine. Drugs can be quite costly, so epileptics need all the support they can get."
Maureen also says it is important for employers and colleagues to be trained on what to do when an epileptic has a seizure. "First Aid is important," she says adding that there is a misconception that epileptics get seizures every other time, but this is not the case. "As long as an epileptic is not stressed, he or she should be fine. Avoiding stress is a key tool for an easier life for an epileptic."
Maureen's advice to job seekers: "Epileptics must always exude confidence in themselves. Have confidence in your abilities and qualifications and be free about your condition with the employer. A decent employer will be accommodating."

If life is a gift from God that we might live it, than the word of God is the gift which will instruct us how to live this life godly and pleasing to Him.
I love the word of God because is the most powerful tool we can possess on the earth, a manual, love letter, however you call it, it's very powerful- if we know how to use it.
There is a lot to be said about this verse only, I will mention few things. The word of God is so alive that I can read one verse from a passage and it will keep me alive for months if not years, just one verse. How is that even possible you might ask, well it's active, at all times and it energizes you.
Once the Holy Spirit said to me, if you can try to find all the sharpest swords of this earth and collect them in one place, My word is sharper than all of them together. My advice to all who preach from this word of God is always use the gloves of grace while handling this sharp sword so you don't cut and bruise others and you don't cut yourself, cause it's very sharp.
I saw also a picture in my spirit that the word of God is like a judge who sits in my mind and judges all the thoughts which are there and those which are not from the Holy Spirit, it rules them out.
We all received grace to understand and love the word of God. While reading ,studying and living this word of God, we will realize that grace is present on every page.
What a good and perfect gift from our Father in heaven, to give us His word to us.


If I create custom dimension and then pivot it, I use that pivoted dimension in table calculations using pivot_where?
The error is a false positive, when I click save the calculation works fine. Could be that the error doesn't take the custom dimension context under consideration?
It runs smoothly on my dashboard… Perhaps contact the support to figure this out!
Yep, found it. It's linked to this thread now so I'll post here with updates on it! It's something we know about and will fix.


Under Merkel Germany's economy has boomed. Her 2013 election result with nearly 42% of the vote was remarkable after two terms in office. But how does she lead? She works with allies in her own and other parties: her previous centre-right government worked with the left-wing opposition to garner support for the Eurozone survival mechanisms. She gives time to the political process and shows flexibility in the search for consensus, but not too much. Her latest coalition agreement with the left, that is now subject to a vote by social-democratic party members, contains drips for boosting demand in the economy, as it redistributes some income by increasing pensions and introducing a national minimum wage.
Next to striking deals, Merkel makes sure to show from time to time who is in charge, for instance when she took a quick and radical U-turn on phasing out nuclear energy after Fukushima. For the new minimum wage, the social-democrats depend on her: Merkel made sure that their flagship achievement only takes full effect in 2017. So it will be hard for the social-democrats to leave Merkel's government before that date. Sometimes a leader must make sure that she is needed.
People criticize Merkel's leadership style for being slow, and accuse her of stealing ideas from others. But such a criticism can only come from observers who fail to pay attention to the political structure in which she operates. The biggest party in Germany does not rule from a majority position; it has to gather support to build the largest majority possible before taking decisions. That support has to come from the government coalition partner but also from opposition parties who may control the upper house of Parliament.
Obama, who works in a two-party system, needs to peel individual legislators from the opposition party away from their radical position and get them to the centre. Obama has not been able to build alliances in the way that Merkel has done. Perhaps his personality is part of why this is so, as media observe that he is more an academic than an operator, and has difficulties to become chummy with Members of Congress. Chris Matthews reinforces this view in his newest book on the workable and cordial relationship between democratic Speaker Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, though Matthews suffers from the pundits' syndrome to remember the good and forget the bad things about past leaders.
The line of argument focusing on the President's personality underestimates the political system in which Obama has to work. Though he does not need to make a coalition government and only needs slim majorities, he has to work with Republicans who are in charge of the House of Representatives. The problem today is that a sizeable number of Tea Party Republicans are not interested in policy compromises. What drives them is to make sure their constituents know how radical they are; if not they run the risk of an even more radical challenger in a primary.
When Arend Lijphart published his study on democracies in 1999, he hesitated to call the US a two party-system because of the factions inside the Democratic party. The USA resembles by now more a multi-party system without the institutional structure to form coalition governments. This party fragmentation puts it closer to the Italian system which is notorious for its lack of political stability and a never-ending political bargaining with temporary deals. The latest budget compromise between Democrats and Republicans is such a stopgap measure.
Angela Merkel, like Obama, has radical challengers on her right, who argue that Germany should stop supporting the Eurozone, a policy that requires German taxpayers to do what financial markets no longer want to do: lend money to troubled countries. Political scientists would predict that a German proportionate voting system would allow these disgruntled and radical voices to find the way to the Parliament, and that this in turn would make the search for compromises more complicated as pressure mounts on politicians to move left or right, but in any case away from the policy compromise in the centre. But the 2013 German election has been remarkable for holding off the anti-Euro party.
In contrast, two-party systems are classically seen as more stable and gravitating more naturally towards the center of the political spectrum, as they keep fringe parties outside of the political institutions. But that does no longer hold true in America, where the radicals have found a way into a mainstream party, and have fractured the two-party system further. This undermines the power of the executive.
A similar phenomenon is happening in the United Kingdom, the most majoritarian of Lijphart's Western democracies. When David Cameron, who ranks 11th on the Forbes' list, came to power, his idea was to avoid that the European Union would become a divisive issue within his party. In 2011 he killed a backbenchers' proposal to have an EU membership referendum; but in 2013 he reversed this position and promised to give the British people an in or out of Europe choice in 2017, in an attempt to appease anti-European members in his parliamentary group.
Lijphart contends that consensus democracies are better at including minority views in the political process; he also claims that majoritarian democracies do not outperform consensus democracies on policy effectiveness. This runs contrary to a widely held view, as people assume that a single party government can rule better than an "unwieldy coalition". Nearly fifteen years later, Lijphart's claim seems vindicated by the fact that governing in Britain and the USA has become a lot more difficult than before. These democracies will need more exceptional leaders with a higher ability for alliance-building than consensus democracies, where alliance-building is part of the political mores.
Oh yes, what about Vladimir Putin, the most powerful leader according to Forbes? It is absurd to compare leaders in terms of power and influence across democratic and authoritarian regimes. Nina Khruschcheva, an international relations scholar, claims that Putin has built his power on state hand-outs to the Russians in a similar way as Evita Péron did in Argentina. Capital flight is one result of this policy. So Putin's power may be strong now, but Russia will at some point decline as a result of this short-term strategy.

Pocomo History

Over forty years ago a group of enthusiasts led by Gordon Eddy and Jack Cole met at the Port Arms Hotel and decided to establish a rugby club outside of the traditional Vancouver area. The idea was to foster the development of the game in the Port Moody, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam; thus the creation of the Pocomo Rugby Club.

Vic Coulter (1917–2001) was chosen to be the first President and the Club has experienced a relatively health existence ever since its 1963 inception. Although the Club has never had access to significant finances, industrious members have done what was necessary to persevere.

Under the Direction of Coulter the Club continued to grow and set as a goal the dissemination of the gospel of rugby throughout the Fraser Valley. In order to do this the Club contacted all the Secondary Schools form Port Moody to Chilliwack and team members organized clinics in order to get recent graduates interested in club rugby. The Club established the annual Outriders Trophy with Richmond Rugby Club, who at the time was the only other club beyond Vancouver city.

All the hard work proved to be successful and in 1973 Coulter and Pocomo helped organize the Fraser Valley Rugby Union. The Fraser Valley Rugby Union launched with thirteen clubs, which included no less than five from the U.S. A few fledgling clubs such as Port Coquitlam, Pitt River, Maple Ridge and the U.S. sides have come and gone, only to occasionally resurface. Pocomo continued to grow as one of the pillars of the Fraser Valley and by 1983 they would field four senior men's teams. The Club has won numerous league championships as well as various members were given the Vic Coulter Service Award, for their contribution to rugby in the Fraser Valley.

In 1985, Pocomo introduced their first Women's side and defeated S.F.U., who hadn't lost a match in three years. This first Women's program didn't last long and by 1988 the program was temporarily shut down. Sticking with their roots, Pocomo has continued to foster rugby in the high schools of the Tri-Cities for both boys and girls. Club members volunteer in both middle school and high school as coaches, referees and managers. The Club has also donated a trophy and organized an annual tournament for the top senior team in the Tri-Cities. This hard work has continued to prove successful and in 2000 Pocomo restarted a Women's side who earned the 2nd division provincial championship. With this success, the women's side moved up into the 1st division league, in 2005 they added a second women's team and won the 1st division Provincial Cup and the opportunity for promotion into the BC Provincial Premier League.

The Club heralds a strong tradition of players and alumni who are hard, dedicated workers. Club honours began when Bill Christie received the Stroess Trophy in 1966, since then members such as Gordon Eddy, Bill Turpin, Ken Yates and Ian (Onion) Robertson have gone on to win this award. The 2nd division earned the player's first honours winning Dunbar Trophy in 1968.

With the introduction of the Premier league in 1997, Pocomo and several other clubs faced new strains and challenges. Pocomo saw over 20 players retire or defect to Premier clubs, this forced the club to be reduced to two senior men's teams. However, they still fought hard and in 1999, Pocomo returned to the Vancouver Rugby Union where it made it to the 2nd division finals. The continued growth in Premier clubs and premier rugby forced Pocomo to make some difficult decisions and in 1998 Pocomo entered into amalgamation talks with S.F.U. and later Douglas but were unsuccessful at working out the particulars.

Over the next few seasons Pocomo fought hard, but to limited success and in 2005, Pocomo once again was talking with S.F.U. about merging clubs. At the same time a delegation of Douglas members were quietly talking with some of the Pocomo Executive regarding a similar merger. At the end of the season the Pocomo and S.F.U. voted but both were shy of the required majority. Formal talks with Douglas began and a vote was held shortly after. The clubs voted with large positive majority from both sides.

Douglas History

The Douglas Rugby Club was established in the spring of 1971 when a group of Douglas College students, organized by Gert Van Niekerk, took part in a 7-a-side tournament hosted by Malaspina College of Nanaimo. That fall, the Douglas College team joined the Pacific Intercollegiate League and finished second with a record of 5-5-1. The team was captained by Howie Martfelt,

In 1972, the team won the Totem Conference Championship, playing against the other community colleges in the province. That year's captain was Dave Jagger. Without suffering one defeat, the team continued as Totem Conference champions for the next two years. By this time, the alumni team had formed and took part in a series of exhibition games against local clubs.

In 1975, the Douglas College Rugby Club entered two teams in the Fraser Valley Rugby Union 2nd Division. In their first year, the A-Side won the championship and was promoted to the 1st Division for the 1976-1977 season. By the fall of 1977, the club had teams in all three divisions of the FVRU and the 1st Division side won both the league and playoff titles. At the end of that season, the club voted to change its name to simply become the Douglas Rugby Club. The college team had ceased to exist, but the club continued to recruit players from the college.

Douglas had enjoyed continued success since its inception, particularly with its 1st Division team. The squad won numerous FVRU league titles and playoff championships in 1981, 1983 and 1992. On more than one occasion, the 2nd and 3rd XV have each been champions. The collegiate team was revived in 1990 and won the Northwest Intercollegiate Rugby Union (NIRU) Championship in 1993.

Douglas first tested the waters in women's rugby in 1974. The team beat Capilano College 36-4 in the Totem Conference Collegiate 7-a-side Tournament. The first serious attempt at women's rugby occurred in the spring of 1977 when a team was formed under the tutelage of Burt Kirby, Mark Andrews and Mark Ovenden. The team was called the Loose Ruckers. They played in the first-ever women's 15-a-side match in the Lower Mainland, on March 6, 1977 against UBC at Jericho Park, losing 8-0.

There was very little competition at this time and, after a couple of years of exhibition games, the team dissolved. Some of the original members included Elanie Benson, Sara Lee Liner, Rita Boon, Barb Kirby, Diana Nygaard, Edie Naylor, and Marge Naylor.

Douglas revived its women's program in the fall of 1991 when a team was entered in the recently formed West Coast Women's Rugby Association (WCWRA). Other teams in the league were Vancouver Rowing Club, Ex-Britannia Lions, and the University of Victoria. Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia also had teams playing a series of exhibition matches. During the first year, the Douglas women were probationary club members. They were accepted for full membership by the 1993-1994 season.

The women's program continued to grow stronger, especially with the support of Lou Rene Legge and the Douglas College Athletic Department. In the fall of 1995 the first ever Douglas College Women's Scholarships were awarded to Anne Carnochan and Stephanie Biggar.

With expansion of the WCWRA to twelve teams in 1995, Douglas began the year in 2nd Division. After going undefeated for the first half of that season, the team beat UBC Old Boys 10-8 to gain promotion to the 1st Division. The women enjoyed their most successful season in 1996 with a record of 13-3-1, losing to eventual champions Ex-Britannia Lions in the BC semi-final.

In the fall of 1996, Douglas expanded its women's program to include two teams. The 1st Division squad enjoyed continued success and the 2nd XV won the BC Championship in 1998. The 1st XV, in the re-dubbed Premiere Division, won championships in 2001 and 2002, while the 2nd Division team won a title in 2003 along with the Under-19 Girls.

Perhaps the most successful female player to come out of the Douglas program was Kelly McCallum. Her rugby career began almost by accident. McCallum, still dressed in her soccer gear, showed up early to watch the Douglas men play. Finding only a women's match in progress, she decided to stick around and watch. As the team was short one player, McCallum was asked to fill-in on the wing. Quickly taking to the game, she made her way up the ranks to the National Senior Women's Team. McCallum went on to captain Canada in Edmonton during the 2006 Women's Rugby World Cup, before her retirement.

Congress Says ISPs Can Sell Your Browser History on Party Line Vote
Bryan Chaffin
@TMOBryan
Mar 28th, 2017 11:24 PM EDT | Analysis
The U.S. House of Representatives voted Tuesday to sell you out to ISPs. More specifically, they voted to allow your ISP to sell you, your data, and your browsing history to anyone it wants. ISPs will be able to do so without your approval, without your permission, and without you benefitting from the transaction in any way. The House did so in a largely-party line vote that saw Republicans siding with large corporations against you.
The vote in the House followed a vote in the Senate last week on that body's version of the bill. It, too, passed on a party line vote.
ISPs Can Sell Your Browser History
The FCC under the Obama administration had a rule in place that required ISPs to obtain your permission to sell your browser history. The Senate and the House have now passed legislation that overturns that rule and prohibits the FCC from instituting similar rules in the future.
Surveillance capitalism. Pretty cool, right?
In the short term, it's somewhat moot. The corporatist in charge of the FCC now had already put that rule on notice. That's because he—like the Republican party as a whole—believes the right of corporations to profit off you is more important than your right to privacy.
The Rationalization
Big ISPs like Comcast have argued that Google, Facebook, and many other tech giants routinely profit from selling your data. They, or so they argued, are being unfairly punished by not being able to partake in this smorgasbord of corporate shenanigans, too.
The GOP has largely bought into this notion. Rather than requiring Google, Facebook, and other tech giants to also require permission before selling your data, they've instead decided that another wrong makes it all right. And just in case some do-gooder pansy manages to wiggle into the FCC chair in the future, this legislation prohibits rules from being imposed in the future.
That means it will require both a do-gooder pansy in the FCC and do-gooder pansies to control Congress and the White House to overturn this abominable situation.
Doesn't Take a Genius
It doesn't take a genius to spot the logic flaws in the corporate argument.
1.) Consumers can decide not to use surveillance services like Google, Facebook, et al, and still use the Internet.
2.) In most markets in the U.S., broadband is offered by one corporate giant. There's no competition, meaning consumers can't choose an ISP that doesn't pillage their digital privacy for extra profit. In many markets, broadband is a government-awarded monopoly, making competition even less of a thing.
3.) Even in markets with competition, it's competition by the same companies pushing for this legislation. There are nowhere near enough broadband providers to foster the kind of competition where privacy becomes a selling point.
Despite this rather easy exercise, the GOP voted to not only allow, but ensure ISPs can sell your browser history.
Politics Intersecting with Technology
These votes by the Senate and House are about putting corporate profits above consumers' right to privacy, plain and simple. The bill is expected to be signed into law by President Trump.

Paul Goodwin (@paul-goodwin)
The GOP and this president are the worst this country has ever had. Under control of right wing big money. Making America Great? What a bunch of A$$holes. By the time they're finished, they'll have undone everything good that has happened in the last 50 years in health, environment, energy, women's rights, education, arts, and communication, I used to think that Nixon/Agnew and the GOP at that time were the worst this country could ever elect. This bunch in control of the White House and Contress are the worst bunch of lying pricks ever assembled in this country. Embarrassment on… Read more »

Dr. Larry Webster, chiropractic physician and founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, developed a specific evaluation and chiropractic adjustment designed to remove intrauterine constraint and achieve optimal positioning for birth. This technique has been in use for many years by chiropractors across the country. Webster technique has successfully resulted in a high success rate in allowing breech presentation babies to move into normal head down or vertex position. Dr. Eaton is certified in Webster technique and has had the privilege of achieving this success with several breech babies. Resolution of imbalance within the joints in the pelvis typically leads to significantly less discomfort for the expectant mother and also promotes easier labor and delivery while reducing the risk of back labor.
The expanding uterus is supported by specific ligaments in the body. If the pelvic bones are balanced, the uterus is able to enlarge symmetrically with the growing infant. If rotation exists within the sacroiliac joints of the pelvis or the pubic bone, this balance is thrown off and ligament strain results. The round ligament is extremely important in supporting the expanding uterus. This ligament runs from the uterus down to the area of the groin. It is responsible for anchoring the uterus within the abdominal cavity. Rotation within the pelvis puts strain on one or both of the round ligaments and can cause twisting of the uterus. This is referred to as intrauterine constraint. Intrauterine constraint reduces the space available in the uterus for the baby and ultimately can prevent the baby from getting into optimal position for birth. Dr. Eaton is trained to palpate fetal positioning in the final trimester of pregnancy and is also trained in appropriate treatment techniques to evaluate and remove this ligament torsion.

Cardio is essential if you intend to lose weight and gain stamina. In addition to running, swimming, aerobics, and cycling, other forms of cardiovascular activity include dancing, rowing, and boxing. I'm certain I've left out others; just know that if your exercise activity increases your heart rate and ensures it stays that way for approximately 20 minutes (by keeping you in constant motion), then it's a cardio workout.
That said, deciding on a routine is much easier than sticking to one long enough for results to show. Tedium is the main reason a person drops out from a particular activity. One way to stave off boredom is to add variety, such as by varying the type of machines you use, or by simply engaging in different types of cardio activity, such as swimming, running, and biking. This usually leads to aspirations of competing in a triathlon.
Other times, a change of environment can remedy monotony. This is very easy to do when the weather outside is beautiful, and it's easy to be struck by the absurdity of engaging in a stationary workout indoors. In addition to alleviating tedium, the different surroundings can also help make a workout go by that much more quickly.
If your cardio already takes place outdoors, you might want to make it more interesting for yourself by adding a competitive element to it. Whether it's a simple 5K run, a varsity biathlon event, or a mountain biking competition, nothing boosts motivation as well as the prospect of winning does. Not only is there a prize at stake, you have a solid goal to aim for, increasing the commitment you dedicate to training, which helps to improve fitness even further.
Whether you workout indoors or outside, the music you listen to (or don't) can make a difference. Using a different playlist might be enough to keep things fresh, while a person who usually exercises to the sound of silence might find that aural accompaniment will provide company and motivation. You don't even need to listen to music per se; best-selling writer Neil Gaiman works out listening to audio books, and he mixes it up by walking his now-famous white German shepherds.
Interval training is another way to keep cardio interesting. Basically, you alternate high-intensity bursts with a more relaxed pace. Proponents love it, because you see its effects quickly (increased metabolic rate, quicker fat loss, uses less time), and you don't need special equipment to carry it out. It could be as simple as asking yourself to speed-walk to the next lamppost, or demanding and structured, like a pyramid workout.

Subsection 136(1) of the FBTAA.
All references in this Ruling are to the FBTAA unless otherwise stated.
3. The class of entities to which this Ruling applies are those employers who use the EROAD Australia Pty Ltd telematics system (EROAD System) and the EROAD System Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report for car log book record and odometer record keeping requirements.
5. The class of entities defined in this Ruling may rely on its contents provided the scheme actually carried out is carried out in accordance with the scheme described in paragraphs 8 to 28 of this Ruling.
7. This Ruling applies from 22 August 2018 to 31 March 2023. The Ruling continues to apply to all entities within the specified class who entered into the specified scheme during the term of the Ruling. However, this Ruling will not apply to taxpayers to the extent that it conflicts with the terms of a settlement of a dispute agreed to before the date of issue of this Ruling (see paragraphs 75 and 76 of Taxation Ruling TR 2006/10 Public Rulings).
9. EROAD Australia Pty Ltd has developed the EROAD System as a means of electronically recording and reporting vehicle log book entries as required under the FBTAA.
internet service connection between the customer and Depot.
11. The central piece of equipment is the Ehubo2 in-vehicle device. The Ehubo2 gathers a range of data relating to the location and operation of the vehicle it is installed in. This is a hard-wired installation, at which time the electronic odometer is set to the same value as the vehicles mechanical odometer reading.
Location - GPS satellite information is captured and returned to the In Vehicle Unit (Ehubo2) when the ignition is turned on. This includes longitude and latitude.
Time/Date - Time and date are collected from the GPS satellite and returned to the Ehubo2 device at the time the ignition is turned on.
Employee Identification - The vehicle's driver is prompted to manually input a unique PIN code prior to starting their journey.
Type of Journey - Business or private use details are collected via the driver pressing a button on the Ehubo2 in vehicle device.
Audible reminder - A buzzing sound will be heard for a period of time after the ignition is turned on and will stop when the trip purpose has been set. If these details are not selected the buzzing sound will automatically timeout.
13. The driver is prompted to select a private or business trip purpose after entering a unique PIN number to log into the device.
14. An unlimited number of business trip reasons are available for selection. The business trip reasons are configured for each organisation in the EROAD System.
15. During each vehicle journey, the currently selected trip purpose is displayed on the top right of the vehicle drive screen. This reminds the driver of the current trip purpose and cannot be changed when the vehicle is moving.
Location - GPS satellite information is captured in the Ehubo2 in vehicle device when the ignition is turned off. This includes longitude and latitude.
Time/Date - Time and date are collected from the GPS satellite and captured by the Ehubo2 device at the time the ignition is turned off.
17. If the trip purpose has been omitted, it is set to unclassified when the ignition is turned off. Unclassified trips are then reported in the Depot portal for investigative purposes, and subsequently set to private in the EROAD Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report.
18. Should any record details be incomplete the administrator will be alerted of these omissions through a scheduled exception report and will be able to take the appropriate action to correct future driver behaviour.
19. Most vehicles in the EROAD System that are required to record an Electronic FBT Logbook are primarily used for business purposes. This means that during the working day they will make many business trips.
When a driver changes, the Ehubo2 device will not pre-select the previous trip purpose.
At the start of a new day, the Ehubo2 device will not pre-select the previous trip purpose.
21. The EROAD organisations use the EROAD Depot system to produce, in English, an EROAD System Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report.
the total distance (km) travelled during the selected period.
24. All information on any journeys undertaken by a vehicle are sent via the mobile network from the Ehubo2 and stored on a central data store and applications server, where it is accessed via Depot.
25. Should the mobile network not be available, all data is stored on the Ehubo2 device until such time as the network becomes available again. Each Ehubo2 device has an inbuilt battery unit that will continue to record and provide a signal in the event of vehicle battery failure.
26. All information sent via the mobile network is encrypted to ensure secure transmission, and backed up to ensure safety of the information in the event of a disaster.
27. All Depot portal users are given an individual User Name and a Password for access to the web portal for the central component.
28. Modifications to the Ehubo2 may be made from time to time to enhance the functionality of the in-vehicle device. These are small changes that would only enhance device performance above the current level or remain the same.
the purpose of the journey classified as being a business journey is entered within a week of the journey occurring.
30. The report created by the EROAD System is a document that satisfies the definition of 'odometer records' in subsection 136(1).
satisfies the requirements in section 10A and is entitled to claim a reduction of operating costs.
specifies the business use percentage for the period of the year for which the car was held using the estimated number of business kilometres and the odometer readings for the beginning and end of the holding period.
33. An employer in a non-log book year of tax that uses the EROAD System continuously for the whole of the holding period (as defined in section 162C), satisfies the requirements in section 10B and is entitled to claim a reduction of operating costs.
specifies the business use percentage for the period of the year for which the car is held using the estimated number of business kilometres and the odometer readings for the beginning and end of the holding period.
What is the operating cost method under section 10?
35. Section 10 allows employers to elect to calculate the taxable value of car fringe benefits using the cost basis method (operating cost method).
R is the amount (if any) of the recipient's payment.
37. Therefore, employers intending to claim a reduction in the operating cost of a car, on account of business journeys undertaken during the holding period, must meet the requirements of either section 10A (if the year is a log book year of tax) or section 10B (if the year is not a log book year of tax), as applicable.
Does the EROAD System satisfy the requirements under section 10A?
the employer specifies a percentage as the business use percentage applicable to the car in relation to the provider for the holding period.
39. Section 162G sets out various circumstances under which a particular year can be treated as a 'log book year of tax'. It is accepted that all employers using the EROAD System will elect under paragraph 162G(1)(b) to treat a current year of tax as a 'log book year of tax'.
Does the Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report created by the EROAD System satisfy the requirements of the definition of 'log book records' under subsection 136(1)?
41. Paragraph (c) of the definition of 'log book records' requires the date on which the journey began and ended to be entered in the relevant records. The EROAD System records the start and end dates and times of each journey and this information is detailed in the EROAD System Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report. Therefore, this requirement is satisfied.
42. Paragraph (d) of the definition of 'log book records', requires the respective odometer readings of the car at the beginning and at the end of the journey be entered into the relevant records.
43. The term 'odometer' is not defined in either the FBTAA or the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 but the Macquarie Dictionary, online edition, defines that term as being, 'an instrument for measuring distance passed over, as by a motor vehicle'.
44. The term 'odometer records', as defined in subsection 136(1) of the FBTAA makes reference to 'odometer reading of the car'. Whilst odometer readings must pertain to the car, it does not necessarily mean that they must also be attributable either wholly or in part to the rotation of the car's wheels, thereby mechanically moving the standard odometer fitted in the car by the manufacturer.
45. Provided the GPS device used to determine the car's odometer readings is of sufficient integrity, it is accepted that a system other than the car's own odometer may meet the FBTAA legislative requirements.
46. Each time the car is driven, the start and end odometer readings for the journey are calculated from the GPS and other telemetry data recorded. It is accepted that the opening and closing odometer readings calculated by the EROAD System is of sufficient integrity to be odometer readings of the car.
47. It is accepted that the opening and closing odometer readings for each car journey detailed in the EROAD System Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report satisfies the requirements of paragraph (d) of the definition of 'log book records'.
48. The number of kilometres travelled by the car in the course of each journey is also detailed in the EROAD System Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report thus satisfying the requirement in paragraph (e) of the definition of 'log book records'.
49. Paragraph (f) of the definition of 'log book records' requires the purpose or purposes of the business journeys to be recorded. Further, the definition of log book records requires that entries be made at or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the end of the journey.
50. The business or private use journey classification details are input by the driver logging on using a unique PIN number which then prompts them to select the purpose of the trip. The selected trip purpose is displayed on the top right of the vehicle drive screen for the duration of the journey and cannot be changed when the vehicle is moving. If the trip purpose has been omitted, it is set to unclassified when the ignition is turned off. Unclassified trips are then reported in the Depot portal for investigative purposes, and subsequently set to private in the EROAD System Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report.
51. Should any record details be incomplete the administrator will be alerted of these omissions through a scheduled exception report and will be able to take the appropriate action to correct future driver behaviour.
52. It is expected that the reason recorded for each business journey is sufficiently descriptive so as to enable the journey to be classified as a business journey and that the relevant classification and description will be made at the end of each journey or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Provided this occurs within a week of the journey occurring, it will be accepted that the entry was made as soon as practicable after the end of the journey.
53. It is accepted that the EROAD System Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report satisfies the requirements in paragraph (f) of the definition of 'log book records'.
54. It is considered that the EROAD System and EROAD System Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report is 'a daily log book or similar document' that satisfies the requirement of being made in the English language at or as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the journey.
55. The EROAD System Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report generated by the EROAD System satisfies the definition of 'log book records' in subsection 136(1) provided the report is completed for an 'applicable log book period'.
Are the records maintained for an 'applicable log book period'?
56. The definition of 'log book records' in subsection 136(1) also requires that each business journey recorded in the log book records be in relation to a 'period'. Paragraph 10A(a) refers to 'log book records' being maintained for an 'applicable log book period'.
in any other case - a continuous period of not less than 12 weeks that begins and ends during the holding period.
58. The EROAD System Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Reports that are generated by the EROAD System by the administrator must be for a minimum 12 week period. The log book beginning and end date is displayed on the log book. It is accepted that in the absence of evidence to the contrary in a particular case, all employers using the EROAD System in relation to any car fringe benefits that they provide will maintain the necessary records for the duration of the 'applicable log book period' (as that latter term is defined in subsection 162H(1).
Do the Reports created by the EROAD System satisfy the requirements of the definition of 'odometer records' under subsection 136(1)?
60. The definition of 'odometer records' in subsection 136(1) requires that odometer readings be recorded both at the 'commencement' and at the 'end' of the periods.
61. The EROAD System provides a report which details the odometer reading for the car at the start of the first recorded journey and also the odometer reading for the car at the end of the last recorded journey that were undertaken during each report period.
62. As stated at paragraph 58 of this Ruling, It is accepted that in the absence of evidence to the contrary in a particular case, all employers using the EROAD System will maintain the necessary records for the 'applicable log book period'.
63. A report can be generated at the end of the log book period showing the odometer recordings made and the type of journey undertaken. It is accepted that the EROAD System Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report meets the necessary requirement of having entries made in English at or as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the journey.
64. It is considered that the report generated by the EROAD System satisfies all the relevant requirements of the definition of 'odometer records' as defined in subsection 136(1) for an applicable log book period.
Does the EROAD System Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report provide odometer records for the holding period?
65. Paragraph 10A(b) requires odometer records to be maintained for the holding period as defined in section 162C.
66. The EROAD System Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report will provide odometer records for the period of the year in which the system is used. Therefore, where the system is used continuously for the whole of the period of the year for which the car is held, the report will provide the odometer records for the holding period.
67. However, if the system is not continuously used for the whole of the period of the year for which the car is held, the reports will not provide both the start and end odometer readings for the holding period. For example, if the car is held for the full year but the EROAD System is only used for the first 12 weeks of the year, the reports will only provide the odometer reading as at the start of the holding period. The reports will not provide the odometer reading for the end of the year (the end of the holding period). Therefore, in such a situation, the odometer reading at the end of the period will need to be separately recorded for the reports to provide odometer records for the holding period.
Does the EROAD System enable the employer to estimate the number of business kilometres travelled during the holding period in a log book year of tax?
68. Paragraph 10A(d) requires the employer to estimate the number of business kilometres travelled by the car during the holding period. This estimate is used to calculate the business use percentage required by paragraph 10A(e).
any variations in the pattern of use of the car.
70. The EROAD System uses the calculations of the kilometres travelled on the journeys classified as being a business journey during the period for which the system is used to calculate the total number of business kilometres travelled during the period. Therefore, where the system is used continuously for the whole of the period of the year for which the car is held, the report will enable the employer to estimate the number of business kilometres travelled during the holding period.
71. However, where the EROAD System is not continuously used for the whole of the period of the year for which the car is held, the number of business kilometres recorded in the report will only be the business kilometres travelled during the period in which the system is used. In such a situation, the employer in estimating the number of business kilometres travelled during the holding period, will need to take all relevant matters into account including the EROAD System Electronic FBT Logbook PDF Report, odometer records and any variations in the pattern of use of the car.
Does the EROAD System enable the employer to specify the business use percentage for the holding period in a log book year of tax?
73. Where the EROAD System is used continuously for the whole of the period of the year for which the car is held, it will calculate both the number of business kilometres and the total number of kilometres travelled by the car during the holding period. Using these calculations, the report provides the business use percentage for the holding period.
74. However, where the EROAD System is not continuously used for the whole of the period of the year for which the car is held, the system will not record the number of business kilometres travelled during the holding period, nor the total number of kilometres travelled during the holding period. Therefore, in such a situation it will be necessary for the employer to separately determine the business use percentage using the estimated number of business kilometres and the odometer readings for the beginning and end of the holding period.
75. Where the EROAD System is used continuously for the whole of the period of the year for which the car is held, the reports generated by the EROAD System for that period will meet all the necessary requirements of section 10A.
specify the business use percentage for the period of the year for which the car was held using the estimated number of business kilometres and the odometer readings for the beginning and end of the holding period.
Does the EROAD System satisfy the requirements of section 10B?
the employer specifies the business use percentage applicable to the car in relation to the provider for the holding period.
it calculates the business use percentage for the selected period using the estimated number of business kilometres and the odometer readings for the beginning and end of the holding period.
specify the business use percentage for the period of the year for which the car is held using the estimated number of business kilometres and the odometer readings for the beginning and end of the holding period.


Four and a half years ago (in August 2013) the Rim Fire burned 402 square miles of the central Sierra Nevada, mostly in Stanislaus National Forest and Yosemite National Park. In recent years much effort has gone into planting trees to help restore the forest habitats and soils, protect the watershed, improve recreation opportunities, and in some of the National Forest area, to establish future harvestable timber stands.
Some of this restoration work is assisted by volunteers eager to help heal lands ravaged by megafires. In mid-March, I joined one such group of enthusiastic volunteers to plant Ponderosa pines on a severely burned hill just north of Buck Meadows Lodge, about 11 miles east of Groveland on State Route 120. The party included members of the Friends of Berkeley Tuolumne Camp (my affiliation), an Americorps crew, members of the Berkeley Rotary Club, Boy Scouts, staff and volunteers from the Tuolumne River Trust, and others, all with supervision by Stanislaus National Forest — a large and diverse group!
We convened at Rush Creek Lodge, carpooled to Buck Meadows Lodge, hiked nearly a mile up the hill, received our instructions, broke up into groups of about five, gathered our tools and seedlings (grown at the USDA Forest Service nursery near Placerville), and scattered far and wide in search of suitable planting sites.
Soils along the crest of this hill were in a poor state to receive plantings after the fire, so some of it had been "tilled" or "ripped" to loosen the soil for better aeration and water infiltration. Some of this area had been planted two years ago, but seedling survival was below target, so we were filling in where some of those plants had perished and also planting beyond the extent of the previous work.
Conditions the day we planted were ideal for both plants and people: cool and overcast, with the ground moist but not muddy.
Scalp the ground clear of weeds, dig a little hole, insert the tree, gently back-fill, and move on to the next site. It was harder work than you might think, because of the very rocky soil here.
Our group planted about 25 trees; altogether, everyone planted more than 2,200 trees that day.
Next year our pines should look like this one, planted last year. The other shrubby green stuff in the background is "Golden Fleece" (Ericameria arborescens), a native bushy sunflower that has established itself naturally over the last few years.

Dear Mr. Messick, This is a wonderful report. May I share this as an example of people working to restore the land? I belong to the El Dorado Chapter California Native Plant Society, I was thinking it might go nicely on our website. I also am a member of a very small subgroup of the El Dorado Progressives, and my little group is called something like Public Lands Protectors, or Citizens for Public Lands (name still uncertain). It would be nice as a 'good news' segment on that website. At the very least I want to forward this post to all my environmental friends. May I do that? I'm a botanist, I began following you after I saw your Bodie Hills work. It is a great example for me, and I changed the way I write reports based on that.
Hello — Thank you for your comment, and for following the Bodie Hills blog also! Yes, feel free to share this post with others. I've been a CNPS member for many years too.


If you follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed that I eat a lot of lunches at Potbellys, which is a chain of sandwich restaurants. Think Subway or Jimmy Johns, only better. Many Potbellys have musicians playing over the lunch break, and I frequently find myself Tweeting about the singer I'm listening to as I eat my lunch. Often, they're pretty good musicians, albeit somewhat interchangeable: everyone's got the same voice and the same style and the same set of covers (Dave Matthews! Jason Mraz! Ben Harper! Pink Floyd! Ingrid Michaelson!). It's perfect for a lunchtime music set, especially in the busy downtown area.
But every so often, one of these lunchtime-guys-with-guitars will just stick with me, as is the case with Cincinnati, Ohio-based musician Anson Krekeler. I came across Anson over the weekend as he was singing at a Potbellys in Lincoln Square, and found myself in my seat long after I'd finished my lunch, listening to him perform. He had the requisite batch of covers, sure to satisfy listeners of all ages, but what really struck me were his original compositions that he played, delivered with just the right mix of folk, blues, and pure charisma. I took a few minutes to talk to Anson after his set was done and grabbed a copy of his album, Orange Coastline, which could very easily find its way into my daily music listening.
You can check out Anson tonight at the Elbo Room at 9 pm. Get there by 8 pm and have a chance to see fellow Ohioan Kelly Fine. Get there even earlier, by 7 pm, and see Creed Bratton (as in the guy who plays Creed on the Office) play a free set on the upstairs stage.

Singapore junk bond market lacks depth, say money managers
The Monetary Authority of Singapore is planning to make bond investing easier for individuals as the state seeks to enable alternatives to volatile stock markets. PHOTO: BERITA HARIAN FILE
http://str.sg/Z77X
SINGAPORE (BLOOMBERG) - The probe into China Fishery Group Ltd for a securities offence has wiped out some US$600 million (S$840 million) from group shares and its US currency bonds. The Singapore-dollar notes have barely reacted.
Money managers say the divergence illustrates the lack of depth in Singapore's junk bond market.
The local notes of China Fishery parent Pacific Andes Resources Development Ltd have fallen just 2.2 per cent since the probe was flagged on Aug 21, according to prices from DBS Group Holdings, which led the offering. China Fishery's 2019 US dollar bonds have lost 42.6 per cent, while the group's stock prices have plunged in both Singapore and Hong Kong.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore is planning to make bond investing easier for individuals as the state seeks to enable alternatives to volatile stock markets. Traders and fund managers, however, have raised concerns that investors may struggle to sell bonds when they need to and quoted prices could be misleading, adding to the asset class's risk.
"High-yield bonds in particular are suffering from lack of price discovery,"said Mr Vishal Goenka, head of local currency credit at Deutsche Bank in Singapore. "Dealers are providing little liquidity and it seems that investors are under pressure from possible retail margin calls on their portfolios."
The amount of local bonds with coupons higher than 6 per cent increased to a record $3.5 billion last year in Singapore, where most debt is unrated and such notes are considered high-yield.
Among them are the 2017 bonds of Chinese developer Yanlord Land Group Ltd., which currently offer a yield of 6.9 per cent in Singapore, while its US dollar notes payable in 2018 yield 8.8 per cent, according to Bloomberg-compiled prices.
"This is the nature of the market," said Mr Clifford Lee, head of fixed income at DBS. "In dollar and Dim Sum bond markets, people go in expecting a fair bit of trading but not in Singapore, where the market is still mostly comprised of clients who buy and hold on to the bonds."
Singapore's central bank and the Commercial Affairs Department are probing both China Fishery and Pacific Andes Resources under the Securities and Futures Act, they said in stock exchange filings. The authorities, and Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission, are also separately seeking information from Pacific Andes International Holdings Ltd.
China Fishery and Pacific Andes Resources, both listed in Singapore, and Pacific Andes International, have lost a combined US$482 million in share value since then. Bond investors have suffered a US$118 million setback, Bloomberg-compiled data show.
"Secondary market liquidity is, in general, poor in local currency markets," said Mr Neel Gopalakrishnan, an emerging markets fixed income analyst at Credit Suisse's private banking and wealth management unit in Singapore. "The fact that there are fewer market makers, compared to say the US dollar bond market, makes it even more challenging."

Q: Spyder5 launching but not displaying after update to Windows 11 My Windows computer recently went through an OS software to from Windows 10 to 11 Home. Prior to the update, I've been working with Spyder using python with no conda. To run the Spyder app, I always run spyder in cmd, and to manage packages I always use pip (ex. python -m pip install packageName).
After the update, I tried opening my Spyder5 app, and while it launches, it does not display. That is, when I run spyder, the Spyder5 window comes up telling me that it is initializing, etc. Then, the Spyder5 icon toggles to my taskbar, but when I click on it to see Spyder and get working, nothing comes up. Entering spyder in cmd gives no error. I am wondering if this has to do more with Windows 11 than with Spyder. Here are the specs of my PC:
Processor   Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.30GHz   1.50 GHz
Installed RAM   16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch   Pen and touch support with 10 touch points
Edition Windows 11 Home
Version 22H2
Installed on    2/12/2023
OS build    22621.1265
Experience  Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22638.1000.0
I tried uninstalling Spyder5 using pip (and also uninstalling PyQt5 and PyQTWebEngine), and installing all three again. No improvement. I also tried uninstalling Spyder from Task Manager. No improvement. I also tried the steps in this video by the Spyder developers and had no improvement.
I expect Spyder to launch and display.

Which Non-Fresh Foods Have the Most Nutrients?
When Fresh Produce Is Hard to Find, Which Foods Have the Most Nutrients?
The days may be getting longer, but unless you live well south of the 35th parallel, you're still several months away from being able to access most fresh fruits and vegetables. Inquiring minds want to know: when fresh produce is not readily available, what's the best way to get the half-your-plate per meal of fruits and veggies that the USDA Center for Nutrition Policy Promotion recommends? The answer, ironically, may be to stay away from the fresh produce aisle.
It turns out that as soon as produce is harvested, it starts to lose its nutrients. Modern food storage and transport methods often make fruit and vegetables look like they're still fresh, when in fact, their bright colors and firm skin are the result of wax coating and cold storage. The produce itself may be as much as three months old, with the best of its nutrients long gone.
A study out of the Department of Food Science and Technology at the University of California, Davis, found that "Losses of nutrients during fresh storage may be more substantial than consumers realize. Depending on the commodity, freezing and canning processes may [better] preserve nutrient value." This study and others prompted the Fruit & Veggies—More Matters® initiative (in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control) to recommend that "All Forms of Fruits and Vegetables Matter," including frozen and canned.
It is the enzymes in fruit and vegetables that cause their nutrient loss, as well as the loss of color and flavor. To halt this process, the enzymes need to be "deactivated." One way to do this is to blanch—quickly boil and then douse in ice water—and then freeze them. This is how most commercial frozen food companies package their vegetables, and since they do this process right after harvesting the food, most nutrients remain in the food. To help further maintain the integrity of the food, most frozen food companies quick-freeze their vegetables, which slows the rate of deterioration that can occur, even in the freezer.
Canned food offers sound nutrition to help people achieve nutrient needs.
Canned food offers comparable nutrition to fresh and frozen.
You can enjoy canned food while watching sodium intake.
Canned foods are minimally processed.
Steel cans are among the safest forms of food packaging.
June is National Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Month. What better time to taste a rainbow of fresh fruits and vegetables?
What's in Season from the USDA includes not only information about when produce is in season, but also resources about each fruit or vegetable.
SuperTracker from the USDA allows users to track their foods and reach nutritional targets.
With all the fresh choices available at USConnect's Bistro to Go!™ micro markets, and with the nutritional recommendations from The Right Choice for a Healthier You™, HR professionals can build company-wide celebrations of National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month. For instance, employees could participate in a recipe contest, with a potluck lunch where everyone gets to try each other's recipes. Or, employees can use the USDA's SuperTracker to keep track of how many fruit and vegetables they eat, and self-report to see who can reach their nutrition goal first.
Easter has come and gone, but many of us are still finishing up the hard-boiled eggs that the Easter Bunny left. Given this season of rebirth and renewal, it's a great time to check in on the incredible, edible egg.
Eggs have been called "the perfect protein." Going back to prehistoric times, most animal protein required finding, killing, and preparing meat, but gathering eggs just required foraging from inattentive fowl.
Today, a large chicken egg contains six grams of high-quality protein and high levels of iron, lutein, and choline. Eggs contain zero grams of carbohydrates and sugars, and although they do contain five grams of fat and 187 milligrams of cholesterol, multiple studies have found that there is no link between eating an egg a day and the risk of heart disease or stroke.
From a nutritional perspective, there is no difference between brown eggs, white eggs, free-range eggs, cage-free eggs, cruelty-free eggs, or any other kinds of hen eggs. The color of the egg depends on the breed of the hen, and while the size of the egg will have an impact on the nutrition content (e.g., a tiny quail's egg will have less of everything than a giant duck's egg), there is effectively no nutritional difference among different types of eggs.
Hard-boiled eggs are an easy, portable, protein-rich snack. Place eggs in a pot of cold water, and bring water to a boil. As soon as the water boils, remove pot from heat and let stand for 9-15 minutes, depending on the size of the egg and how "hard" you like it. Cooking eggs for less time results in slightly soft, bright orange yolks that can be spread on a cracker or bread. Cooking eggs longer will result in a paler yellow, almost greenish yolk with a crumbly texture. For best results, put eggs in cold water (to keep them from continuing to cook) and peel immediately. Fun fact: older eggs are easier to peel than fresher ones.
Soft-boiled eggs take much less time to prepare than hard-boiled eggs, but they're not nearly as portable. For runny, soft-boiled eggs, cook as above, but remove eggs from water after 4-6 minutes. Soft-boiled eggs don't need to be peeled; you can eat them right out of the shell with a spoon, or lop off the top of the egg and pour it over a salad of brightly colored vegetables. As discussed in our post on food pairings, the fat from the egg helps your body absorb the healthy carotenoids from the vegetables.
Scrambled eggs are not particularly interesting by themselves, but they lend themselves to countless variations and additions (to be explored in a future post). For basic scrambled eggs, crack eggs into a bowl and mix well with a whisk or fork until the white and yolk are well combined. Whisk in two tablespoons of milk per two eggs. Pour mixture into a hot nonstick pan (optional: heat butter or oil in the pan first), and using a rubber spatula, lift and fold the eggs until they form a pebbly consistency. Remove from heat immediately when they are cooked to your desired dryness, and add salt and pepper to taste.
Fried eggs are your better basic diner order. Put a teaspoon of oil or butter in the bottom of a hot, non-stick pan and break eggs carefully into the pan. With the heat on low, watch the yolk carefully as it changes from a dark, translucent orange to a light, opaque yellow. For sunny-side-up eggs, take eggs out of pan immediately. For over-easy, flip the eggs and cook for another 60 to 90 seconds. As fried eggs require butter or oil, they are a less healthy choice. However, try throwing a fried egg onto a bed of dark leafy greens—like spinach.

This Billion-Dollar Department Store in Paris Will Cater to the "Super Rich"
It'll soon become the most high-end shopping mall in the world.
IMAGE LVMH, Instagram/samaritaineparis
After 16 long years in the making, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton is finally opening the doors of La Samaritaine, the ultra-luxurious department store set to shake up retail in Paris.
Founded in 1870 by French couple Ernest Cognacq and Louise Jaÿ, what started out as a small family boutique is now being relaunched as one of the most expensive department stores in the world. LVMH's superstore will cater to the "super rich," the ultra-high net worth individuals eagerly awaiting the mall's opening.
La Samaritaine will include over 600 brands, a luxurious department store with the world's high-end brands, 96 social housing units, five-star restaurants, and a five-star Cheval Blanc hotel with 72 rooms that each cost $1,270 (P60,000) per night.
Other unique features include the duty free retailer DFS and a Christian Dior spa.
LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault, the most powerful man in fashion, acquired La Samaritaine in 2001, but the building was closed in 2005 due to failing to meet building safety codes. The palatial shopping mall has been in the works for years, but management issues and structural concerns have caused the project to stretch for almost two decades, spending over $1 billion in renovation costs.
CFO of LVMH and CEO of La Samaritaine, an LVMH subsidiary, Jean-Jeacques Guiony admitted that "the Samaritaine has no architectural unity, which isn't to say it doesn't have personality."
In order to keep the building's unique architectural identity, the mall underwent a 30-month large-scale renovation schedule, updating structural elements for safety while also striving to keep the fine details of La Samaritaine.
Over 150 years since its inception, La Samaritaine still boasts its stunning tiles, Jourdain glass roof, and Art Nouveau design.
Revamped and refurbished, La Samaritaine is set to finally open on June 19. Take a look inside the fashion house's luxurious new department store, and no doubt one of the most opulent malls in the world.
