There are some "short cuts" you can take to help you put healthy meals on the table without too much time and energy. Using frozen and canned goods can be a quick way to incorporate nutritious foods into your meals. Frozen and canned goods are convenient and easy to prepare, take less time to cook, often cheaper than fresh, offer similar nutrition to fresh items and can be stored for longer time than fresh foods.
Frozen vegetables and brown rice are examples of healthy food choices from the freezer section. Always read the ingredients to make sure they didn't add in unhealthy sauces, etc. Canned vegetables, tuna, and beans can help create a quick and healthy meal. It is best to choose "no salt added" canned goods when possible and rinse and drain those with added salt. The Canned Food Alliance is a great resource for items to keep on hand to help with meal preparation. The website also offers recipes about how to incorporate canned foods into your weekly meals.
So stock up on those frozen and canned goods when they go on sale. You will have a fast, cheap and nutritious meal on the table in no time!
FDA has been working on changing the nutrition facts labels on food products. The new label aims to help consumers make better informed choices. It highlights certain information better than before and also includes some important added information, too.
Below is an image of the old label on the left with the new label on the right. As you can see, there are some differences but much of the content is the same. It's still important to read and pay attention to many of the same information as before, e.g. servings, total calories, saturated & trans fats, and sodium.
Some information has been taken away while new information has been added based on new scientific findings about nutrition and health. For example, the Calories from Fat has been removed because it's more important to pay attention to the type of fat (trans, saturated, unsaturated) more so than the total amount. You'll notice that the Total Fat is still there, and it is still broken down by what type. A big difference you'll see is underneath the Total Carbohydrate section. Food manufacturers are now required to indicate how much added sugar there is in a product. Scientific data shows that it is difficult to meet nutrient needs while staying within calorie limits if you consume more than 10 percent of your total daily calories from added sugar, and this is consistent with the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Diets high in added sugars have also been linked to an increase in abdominal fat, which is linked to a greater risk of chronic disease. Please check out the blog post about natural sugars versus added sugars written back in January for more information on sugars. The nutrients at the bottom have been updated to reflect those that most Americans have difficulty meeting. Aiming to incorporate a variety of foods to include vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and healthy fats can help ensure you meet your needs.
Many people struggle with portion control. Often there is more than one serving of a food in a package so that when we eat the entire container, we consume much more than we think. The new label will help make it more clear what one serving is and how many calories, etc. you would be getting if you eat the entire container.
Manufacturers meeting certain yearly sales amount will be required to use the new label by July 28, 2018.
For more information, please check the original article Changes to the Nutrition Facts Label from the FDA.

We want to help get you started on the best path possible to weight loss and weight maintenance. There are many factors that go into losing weight and many habits to learn to maintain weight. That's why it's important to set S.M.A.R.T. goals for yourself. Too often, people simply say "I want to lose weight," "I need to eat healthier," or "I need to exercise more." Everyone understands the basics of what goes into these, but these goals are too broad and overwhelming that people often give up without accomplishing much.
When setting goals for yourself, it's important to make sure that they are S.M.A.R.T.: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely.
Ask yourself these questions to begin developing your personal goals. Setting SMART goals will help you achieve weight loss and weight maintenance one step at a time, allowing you to not be overwhelmed by the changes that you're making. Evaluate your progress every week or two, and update your plan based upon your current progress or circumstances. Make sure you are giving yourself enough time to achieve each smaller goal so you are not discouraged if you haven't met them.
Although what you eat is important, new studies are beginning to pay attention to the importance of how you eat.
Results are positive and encouraging, emphasizing the importance of practicing mindful eating during meals and snacks. One study showed that mindfulness increased enjoyment of pleasurable foods like chocolate and also led to lower-calorie consumption of unhealthy foods. Another indicated that snack intake after a meal was approximately 30% less for people who ate mindfully, versus those who were distracted while eating. There is also evidence to indicate the importance of eating slower, with studies showing that a slower eating rate was associated with a lower calorie intake. One study questioned what leads people to increase their portion sizes of food. It revealed that lack of self-control over food cues (like hunger) and also distracted eating were top reasons people might go back for seconds.
So what does all this mean? In a nutshell, when you get rid of distractions (like your phone or TV or work), sit down at a table, and eat food slowly… you tend to eat less! Eating food slowly and mindfully allows you to recognize when you're full and satisfied, and helps to stop you from overeating.
Some people think this is easier said than done, so here are some steps to help you practice and learn to eat more mindfully.
Always try to sit down at a table to eat.
Before you sit, clear any clutter that may be on the table.
Set a place for yourself, even if you're eating alone.
Use tableware and utensils that appeal to you.
Take a moment to adjust the lighting so it feels pleasant to you.
Considering playing some soft music while you eat.
Try to minimize multi-tasking while eating.
meal per day and increase from there. Eventually you'll find yourself enjoying the peace, quiet, and taste of your food more.
Although every month should be celebrated with good nutrition, March is National Nutrition Month®. Here are a couple of tips to help you have a happy and healthy month!
Eat Breakfast. Start your morning with a healthy breakfast that includes lean protein, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Try making a breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, low-fat cheese, salsa and a whole wheat tortilla or a parfait with low-fat plain yogurt, fruit and whole grain cereal.
Watch Portion Sizes. Get out the measuring cups and see how close your portions are to the recommended serving size. Use half your plate for fruits and vegetables and the other half for grains and lean protein foods. To complete the meal, add a serving of fat-free or low-fat milk or yogurt.
Be Active. Regular physical activity has so many health benefits. Start by doing what exercise you can for at least 10 minutes at a time. Children and teens should get 60 or more minutes of physical activity per day, and adults should get two hours and 30 minutes per week. You don't have to hit the gym—take a walk after dinner or play a game of catch or basketball.
Fix Healthy Snacks. Healthy snacks can sustain your energy levels between meals, especially when they include a combination of foods. Choose from two or more of the MyPlate food groups: grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and protein. Try raw veggies with low-fat cottage cheese, or a tablespoon of peanut butter with an apple or banana.
Get to Know Food Labels. Reading the Nutrition Facts panel can help you shop and eat or drink smarter.
Get Cooking. Preparing foods at home can be healthy, rewarding and cost-effective. Resolve to learn some cooking and kitchen basics, like how to dice an onion or cook dried beans.
Enact Family Meal Time. Plan to eat as a family at least a few times each week. Set a regular mealtime. Turn off the TV, phones and other electronic devices to encourage mealtime talk. Get kids involved in meal planning and cooking and use this time to teach them about good nutrition.
Eat Seafood Twice a Week. Seafood—fish and shellfish—contains a range of nutrients including healthy omega-3 fats. Salmon, trout, oysters and sardines are higher in omega-3s and lower in mercury.
For a more complete list and other healthy eating advice, check out the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics website.
You hear about omega-3s but do you really understand what they are? We know they're in fish and that they're good for us, but why exactly? With February being Heart Health month, I wanted to explain a little more what exactly omega-3s are, why they're so good for us, and where else we can get them besides in fish.
What can high-omega-3 foods do for me?
What are the sources of omega-3 essential fatty acids?
Can I get my omega-3 essential fatty acids from vegetables?
Yes, although fish provides the most readily-available form of omega-3. But if you are working towards eating more fish, incorporating a variety of green vegetables into your diet will provide you with omega-3s. Try seaweed, broccoli, spinach, kale, spring greens, dark salad leaves, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and parsley for reasonable sources of omega-3s.
How does cooking, storage, or processing affect omega-3 fatty acids?
Polyunsaturated oils, including the omega-3 fats, are extremely susceptible to damage from heat, light, and oxygen. When exposed to these elements for too long, the fatty acids in the oil become oxidized, a scientific term that simply means that the oil becomes rancid. Rancidity not only alters the flavor and smell of the oil, but it also diminishes the nutritional value. More importantly, the oxidation of fatty acids produces free radicals, which are believed to play a role in the development of cancer and other degenerative diseases.
It is important to store oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids in dark glass, tightly closed containers in the refrigerator or freezer. In addition, you should never heat these oils on the stove. Instead of sautéing your vegetables in flaxseed or walnut oil, make a salad dressing using these oils.
Do I need to worry about mercury content in fish?
Levels of mercury are generally highest in older, larger, predatory fish and marine mammals. Five of the most commonly eaten fish or shellfish that are low in mercury are shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish. Avoid eating shark, swordfish, king Mackerel, or tilefish because they contain high levels of mercury.
The American Heart Association recommends getting at least two servings per week of fish, particularly fatty fish. These would include salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines, and chunk light tuna. A serving is 3.5 ounces of cooked fish. Experts say any fish is better than no fish!


Hugging, holding hands, and cuddling all require infinitely less planning.
Think about it, you're almost the same size, so all your limbs just sort of fit together more easily with one another.
Of course I was self-conscious of that fact; I would slouch, hide in the back, do anything I could to shrink away.
I wasn't ashamed of being tall, necessarily—I just I wanted to fit in like any other kid.
Even though I'd accepted that I'd be taller than many guys I date, it was hard to see that they didn't return the sentiment.
But that guy's comment (and online dating in general) brought me right back to that awkward stage.At the end of the day, I want to date a confident man.And If a guy is threatened by my height or it makes him feel insecure, then I say on to the next one.First things first, I'm not freakishly tall, just above average—5 feet 10-1/2 inches to be exact.
Growing up, I was always the tallest girl in the class, the tallest kid in the room sometimes—a good foot above everyone else.
Don't worry though, once people get used to you guys together all that will go away, and trust me, dealing with that will be more than worth it.
Don't worry whether friends and family will approve of you.

New Zealand is moving in a direction where a Bill of Rights with greater legal capacity is required, according to Sir Geoffrey Palmer.
Sir Geoffrey was addressing the New Zealand Bar Association at an event to mark the 25th anniversary of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. The event was held on 20 August at Russell McVeagh in Wellington.
It would, Sir Geoffrey said, be safe enough now to make what he described as "the mild version" of the Bill of Rights supreme law.
It can be inferred from the "relatively conservative interpretations" that the courts have given the Bill that the system of government and the body politic will not be unduly disturbed by such a development.
"A Bill of Rights that lacks judicial force over time can easily become whittled away by Parliament by this piece of legislation then that.
"Such a Bill of Rights will, over time, lose its force and effect and became a sort of public relations document rather than an instrument that confers real rights on people and limits the power of government.
"Concentration of power in one body is not constitutionally congenial," Sir Geoffrey said.
The long-term reasons for making the Bill of Rights supreme law can be briefly stated.
"Despite the introduction of MMP, New Zealand still lacks the necessary checks and balances on the use of public power that it lacked in 1984. A unicameral legislature is capable of breaching human rights and has done so since the Bill of Rights was passed.
"The Parliament does not rigorously analyse human rights issues and lacks the institutional mechanisms for doing so.
Sir Geoffrey said he was "somewhat critical" of the failure of the courts to develop the Bill of Rights jurisprudence more comprehensively over the past 25 years.
"Nevertheless, the whole idea is not so legally foreign as once it was. There exist many reported cases on the Bill, several significant legal texts and an extensive periodical literature.
The recent decision (July this year) of Justice Heath – making the first judicial declaration of inconsistency under the Bill of Rights – "is both notable and welcome," Sir Geoffrey said.
"It has taken until 2015, 25 years after the Bill's enactment before a Judge of the High Court of New Zealand made a formal declaration of inconsistency. Justice Heath issued a declaration of inconsistency with the Bill of Rights concerning an Act of Parliament it passed in 2010 imposing a blanket ban on prisoners voting in parliamentary elections.
The government made no public response to the decision at the time, although it had argued forcefully in court against such a declaration being made, Sir Geoffrey noted.
"The Attorney-General submitted the court had no jurisdiction to make a declaration of inconsistency in a case where its interpretive function is not engaged. There had been no cases in which a declaration was sought as the sole remedy.
"Furthermore, as Justice Heath points out in his judgment, although the issues had been discussed in a number of appellate judgments no declaration had every been made and only one New Zealand Judge has ever stated, in dissent, that he would have made one.
"I have been impressed over the years with the vigour with which the Crown's legal advisers have resisted application of the Bill of Rights by the courts.
"They give up territory very reluctantly and it is of concern that they should be so determined in respect to a statute that is designed to curb the power of Government and see that human rights in New Zealand are protected.
"If the Crown does not appeal it will also be interesting to see whether legislation is introduced to remedy the situation and revert to a more liberal regime in respect to prisoner voting.
"A declaration does not change the law. It does not disturb either the executive or parliament. It may influence public opinion but not in a way that is politically significant. It may be different if there were a series of such declarations, although that prospect does not seem likely.
"The relative lack of media attention on the decision raises a further thought. Perhaps the public is not as resistant to judicial power as often is thought in New Zealand.
"How different would the public reaction have been had the court had the power to strike the provision down? Would the sky have fallen in? I doubt it," Sir Geoffrey said.
As well as making the Bill of Rights supreme law, Sir Geoffrey suggested that "some mechanism for systematic parliamentary examination should also be considered.
"The Parliament does not pay sufficient attention to the reports that are tabled. There are occasions when the reports are not even referred to in debate.
"The conclusion that flows … is that bills that breach the Bill of Rights is no big deal so far as the Parliament is concerned. It is not a matter of great moment and handled in a rather casual way.
"One would have thought that derogation from legal human rights standards should be regarded as a serious step not taken lightly. Such does not appear to be the case.
"The Bill of Rights in New Zealand has made a difference.
"Officials and ministers in the preparation of legislation do strive to avoid provisions that will offend the Bill of Rights. Much effort goes into this process with the executive during the design of legislation.
"How many objectionable proposals have been sunk as a result is impossible to tell. My conclusion is that the section 7 process coupled with the court decisions have not made a sufficient difference to accomplish the vision that propelled the Bill of Rights," Sir Geoffrey said.

Bring Your Vision to Life | Fulcrum ConsultingWorks Inc.
I've had the good fortune of seeing Michelangelo's David and the Chihuly museum in Seattle. While most art is over my head, I found both of these fascinating.
Having seen many stone statues, I didn't expect much from David. But it is astounding. As soon as I walked into the room where he stands, I was awestruck. No way to explain the beauty, but it is there.
Chihuly glass art is on the opposite end of the visual spectrum. It is multi-color, often multiple pieces staged or assembled to create an amazing sight.
When interviewed, Dale Chihuly said he has a vision without specificity, but that he'll know it when he sees it. Many, often hundreds of pieces are created and then assembled in an almost haphazard way.
Until he gives specific instructions about a specific location or piece. Those small touches create his vision.
Michelangelo was thinking in traditional subtractive "manufacturing" concepts while Chihuly thinks in additive concepts. Each has a vision. The steps along the way are not obvious to those watching, or to those participating, but in the end something amazing is created.
Each knows if he's moving the right direction despite no "this must come first" process. Despite one approach based on additive and another on subtractive.
In the search for "operational excellence" many leaders and executives struggle with the lack of a detailed step-by-step plan, disturbed by the ambiguity. And yet there is no one way. There is not even one process.
There is the vision, there is the cutting away what does not match the vision, there is adding new pieces to augment what is there. The vision can evolve as more is learned.
This is why I encourage all my clients to visit a variety of operations. To begin to create their own vision of what is to become their operational excellence. Talk to the most impactful leaders in organizations you want to emulate. Learn, grow, cut away and add to your operations to move them ever closer.
Then visit more places and talk with more leaders. Learn more. Grow more. And cut away and add more to your operations.
Cut away whatever doesn't look like excellence and add what makes it more complete.
Don't let anyone tell you there is only one way. There is what works for you and for your organization. You'll know it when you see it, and when you do, you begin to see your vision come to life.

A deep dive into the heart of darkness
July 15, 2019 July 18, 2019 Sub editor
Review: Feet First Collective, S-27 ⋅
Fremantle Arts Centre ⋅
Review by Steven Cohen ⋅
There's something about dystopian reality that bites, that shakes and shudders at our sensibilities. And when that "something" manifests itself in the theatre it leaves a discerning mark on the audience.
From Orwell's' 1984 to The Handmaids Tale, we're used to dystopian thrillers. Audiences seem drawn to alien settings and alienated characters. The stories are riveting, the dialogue terse and the scenes dramatic.
But dystopian drama is much rarer because the style is founded in science fiction. And a theatre, by its very nature, is a forum for collective reflection, drawing out participation and expression of popular concerns.
Good dystopian theatre will illuminate the urban and reflect the irreparable. Perhaps more than that, dystopian theatre gives us a chance to recall the true horrors of horrors so that we might learn something and begin again.
Sarah Grochala's play S-27, first produced in London a decade ago, is better than good. It is both tense and disturbing in recounting the tales from Khmer Rouge Cambodia.
Aptly staged in the historical asylum of the Fremantle Arts Centre, local producers Teresa Izzard and Lauren Beeton successfully manage to immerse the audience into a universal atrocity, balancing the cultural intricacies of Pol Pot's ruthless ideology with the indignation of his horror.
To begin, we are stripped of our belongings, given numbers, separated from our partners and hoarded into a small slither of a room. Violence is within earshot and sometimes seen. Posters illuminate the blankness of the walls – English renditions from Pol Pot's Little Red Book – illuminate the extremism of the revolution. Some of the audience are pulled away. Most stay in situ and in line. Quiet and following.
Eventually we arrive in a cold dank old hall, replete with a single line of facing parallel seating with a single forward fronting chair perched alone in between. An old-style camera, the type my dad used to carry, sits on a tripod aimed at the empty chair. The theatre space is more a thriller scene. The audience become intimate witnesses.
Then we meet May, cold and tearless, whose job is to photograph the living dead. As May's story slowly unwinds, so does she and we become witness to the frailty of human emotion and what it takes to survive a holocaust. Compassionately played by Gabriella Munro, May is the protagonist whose interactions with those she photographs underpins the production.
The seven supporting cast members are nameless. Sheathed either in black police garb or for a few, they serve as photographic fodder. Their acting is tight and well-controlled, blending erratically into the catastrophic nightmare.
Balancing the well-constructed performances is original music by Rachael Dease, haunting sound by John Congrear and claustrophobic lighting by Andrew Portwine, who successfully encase the audience's senses in a confronting maelstrom.
This is a story that must be told. It is uncomfortable, horrific and bloody, but important for our own humanity. S-27 is a gem of a play. We are lucky to have such wonderful talent in our city.
S-27 continues until July 21.

Being mentally strong can have profound effects on your entire life. When you are mentally strong, you are able to persevere during tough times, and continue to press ahead when you are succeeding.
Here are 7 things mentally strong people refuse to do. When you work on getting rid of these destructive, self-sabotaging habits, you'll be amazed at the positive effects in your life.
1. They don't always say that everything's fine.
The mentally strong admit to themselves when they're not fine. They realize this is the first step to making changes.
When you feel dissatisfied and stuck in your life, be strong enough to admit to yourself you're not fine and take action to change your situation.
2. They don't stay stuck in their comfort zone.
The mentally strong make a point to regularly stretch themselves, embrace new challenges, and force themselves to get comfortable being uncomfortable.
3. They don't expect immediate success.
The mentally strong realize that progress takes time. When they set out to make changes in their lives, they prepare for the long haul. They don't expect drastic results immediately.
4. They don't give up easily.
The mentally strong persevere in many areas of life.
Whether it's in their business ventures or during difficult times in their personal lives, the mentally strong press on through their trials.
5. They don't say yes to everything.
The mentally strong practice saying no at times. They say no to toxic friendships. They refuse to let others "guilt trip" them into doing things. They say no to being involved in committees or events they really can't stand. They have the strength to stay true to their priorities and values.
6. They don't avoid being vulnerable.
The mentally strong allow themselves to be vulnerable; in fact, they embrace it.
Brené Brown, a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, gave a powerful speech on the power of vulnerability. She describes the importance of letting ourselves be deeply seen and loving with our whole hearts — even though there's no guarantee.
The mentally strong let themselves love wholeheartedly and be vulnerable.
7. They don't spend their time being envious.
The mentally strong don't waste their time being envious of people they feel are doing 'better' in life than they are. They realize being envious will get them nowhere.
Instead, they choose to focus their time and energy on studying the habits of people they want to emulate. They routinely learn from others who are doing what they want to do. They understand the value in learning from the experts. Instead of sitting back and feeding their jealousy, they take actions to improve their lives.

Top 10 Most Iconic TV Cars
Posted by Akash June 2, 2020 1.9k Views
Since the last 70 years, the Television & auto industry has flourished parallelly side by side. So, it's quite natural that the cars driven by our screen heros would be fixed in our memories as they drive these machines for fun or be it for any action scenes. I bet, as you scroll down, you will be able to remember most of them if not all – from your childhood days. We have got a list of top 10 Most Iconic TV cars from Hollywood with each one of them has a story associated and a life on the red carpet !!
1. Mr Bean's ( Mini )
Mr. Bean's car, a 1976 British Leyland Mini 1000, developed its own character of sorts over the series and was central to several antics, such as Mr. Bean's getting dressed in it, driving while sitting in an armchair strapped to the roof, starting it with a number of locks and keys, or attempting to avoid a car park fee by driving out through the entrance.
2. Scooby Doo ( Mystery Machine )
Scooby and his friends got the van to help them with their mystery-solving careers.It is implied in many Scooby-Doo media, most recently Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy, that Fred is the owner of the van.
It is told that Daphne's father bought the van. However that wasn't officially confirmed till Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins was released. Daphne says it was supposed to be her birthday present when she turned 16. Back then It was the groundskeeper's broken down car. In a hint at its name, Velma says "It's a Mystery this Machine stills runs.
3. The A-team ( GMC van )
The 1983 black and metallic gray GMC Vandura van used by the A-Team, with its characteristic red stripe, black and red turbine mag wheels, and rooftop spoiler, has become an enduring pop culture icon. The GMC Vandura used on the A-Team movie was also on display at the 2010 New York International Auto Show.
4. Back to the future ( Delorean DMC-12 )
A DeLorean DMC-12 from as it appeared in the Back to the Future film trilogy. Several special-edition DMC-12 cars have been produced over the years, and the car is most notably featured as the time machine in the Back to the Future film trilogy.
5. Herbie ( Volkswagen beetle )
In the made-for-television film, The Love Bug, there were some significant changes. The graphics used were copied from the 1974 Volkswagen of America decal kit, and the position on the front hood 53 was higher up. The racing stripes were different sizes, and the shade of blue reverted to the lighter version used in the original 1968 movie. The sunroof was a solid white (vs. gray) and was missing the racing stripes. Herbie's wheels were standard Beetle wheels, instead of the wider racing tires used in Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo and Herbie Goes Bananas and the seats were regular.
6. Jurassic park ( Ford Explorer )
All of the Tour Vehicles in the film version were 1993 Ford Explorer XLTs, but only two were in operation during the Isla Nublar Incident, on their first real test run of the park.
7. Fast And Furious ( Toyota Supra )
The Toyota Supra MK IV is a discontinued model produced by Toyota. The model was used in The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious and Furious 7. The Toyota Supra is classified as a sports car and grand tourer. The Mark IV model began in 1992 and officially ended in 2002.
8. Fast And Furious ( Dodge Charger )
In four of the films, Dom drives his deceased father's black 1970 Dodge Charger. In the first film, Dom tells Brian that he and his father built the 900 horsepower car, but that he had never driven it, because it "scares the shit out of [him]. Dom uses it to help Brian by attacking one of Tran's henchmen.
9. Death race ( Mustang )
The cars in the film are vehicles that have been heavily modified with armor plating, machine guns and defensive weapons:Frankenstein's Monster – A 2006 Ford Mustang GT A80 armed with 2 M134s, smokescreen, napalm and oil slick for defense, as well as a 6-inch-thick (150 mm) detachable steel plate on the rear called "The Tombstone". It also has an ejector seat for the navigator, a NOS system to provide additional speed and a cigarette lighter.
10. The Transporter ( Audi A8 / BMW 7 series )
The Transporter 2: 2005 Audi A8 L. The CIA should give all their spies Audi A8's. They're just sick. Long (pause), sleek and cool, the A8 was a major upgrade to the BMW 7 series dude drove in the The Transporter.

I am a Professor at the University of South Florida's College of Marine Science where I study microbiology (the bacteria and viruses) of the oceans and other environments throughout the planet. I am a lifetime Girl Scout, and it was actually Girl Scout trips that helped instill a love of marine science in me while I was growing up! I grew up in NJ, and since my parents are both scientists, I had a lot of exposure to science as a kid. Add to that several Girl Scout marine science trips and a few excellent teachers (at South Brunswick High School in NJ, Florida Institute of Technology as an undergrad, and San Diego State University as a PhD student) and my love of marine microbiology was sealed! I work on the exciting field of microbiology - bacteria and viruses that are too small to see with your naked eye! My lab works with a variety of samples, ranging from sick marine animals to insects to plants to sewage. In my spare time, I am a dog lover and avid nature photographer. I was very fortunate to have excellent female role models while growing up, and I hope that I can contribute to helping others foster a love for science and the oceans!

Harmonized reference ranges for circulating testosterone levels in men of four cohort studies in the United States and Europe
Thomas G. Travison, Hubert W. Vesper, Eric Orwoll, Frederick Wu, Jean Marc Kaufman, Ying Wang, Bruno Lapauw, Tom Fiers, Alvin M. Matsumoto, Shalender Bhasin
Background: Reference ranges for testosterone are essential for making a diagnosis of hypogonadism in men. Objective: To establish harmonized reference ranges for total testosterone in men that can be applied across laboratories by cross-calibrating assays to a reference method and standard. Population: The 9054 community-dwelling men in cohort studies in the United States and Europe: Framingham Heart Study; European Male Aging Study; Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study; and Male Sibling Study of Osteoporosis. Methods: Testosterone concentrations in 100 participants in each of the four cohorts were measured using a reference method at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Generalized additive models and Bland-Altman analyses supported the use of normalizing equations for transformation between cohort-specific and CDC values. Normalizing equations, generated using Passing-Bablok regression, were used to generate harmonized values, which were used to derive standardized, age-specific reference ranges. Results: Harmonization procedure reduced intercohort variation between testosterone measurements in men of similar ages. In healthy nonobese men, 19 to 39 years, harmonized 2.5th, 5th, 50th, 95th, and 97.5th percentile values were 264, 303, 531, 852, and 916 ng/dL, respectively. Age-specific harmonized testosterone concentrations in nonobese men were similar across cohorts and greater than in all men. Conclusion: Harmonized normal range in a healthy nonobese population of European and American men, 19 to 39 years, is 264 to 916 ng/dL. A substantial proportion of intercohort variation in testosterone levels is due to assay differences. These data demonstrate the feasibility of generating harmonized reference ranges for testosterone that can be applied to assays, which have been calibrated to a reference method and calibrator.

Can A Patient Have A Bad Attitude?
A bad attitude can be a symptom of depression. Depression is a mood state we psychiatrists treat. So, is it possible that a psychiatrist says to a patient "the reason you are not getting better is that you have a bad attitude,"? As the story relates to me, I have no way of knowing the validity of that tale, but I want to take a moment to consider the notion of a psychiatric patient with a "bad attitude". The idea feels so shaming and so blaming to me, I can hardly believe a psychiatrist could express this notion, and yet, at the same time, as more psychiatrists are "pill-mills" and as we know that our pills have limited efficacy, the frustration from the psychiatrist could translate to blaming the patient. Maybe we do not understand our tools, or for that matter, the human mind, enough to understand why people either get better or do not get better. Can we accept that amount of humility in our profession, or do we need to assume that a poor outcome has to do with the patient? The absurdity makes me laugh. If the patient had a "good attitude" what is he doing in our office? We treat "bad attitudes," not by being accusatory, but by trying to understand the underpinnings of this "attitude," or to put it another way, we try to understand it in historical context. Of course, historical context takes time and energy, along with carefully honed listening skills, a set of strengths that are no longer taught in Psychiatry Residencies, leading, to what I see, as professional suicide for all of us. The hard truth is that when our pills fail, which they often do, we must be able to use listening skills to help patients sort out their mental suffering so that they can have a narrative which helps them navigate their life, both past and present. If we lose these skills, the job satisfaction will be poor, and patient satisfaction will also be poor. The result, as I see it, will be a complete disillusionment with the field. There, I have ranted again. I just cannot say this too many times or too many ways. The state of my profession is dire, and we need to have an open discussion before we die completely. That is my hope, that these posts will stimulate a forum to push back and encourage psychiatrists to listen deeply, to learn how to listen in a therapeutic manner. The "good ol days" were indeed better than our present. I maintain that point of view and I am open to talking about that further. The gauntlet has been laid. I wait.
Marketing psychoanalysis used to be an unspoken taboo, meaning that patients were supposed to come and seek our intensive help, rather than clinicians seeking patients to treat. This worked well when the supply of psychoanalysts outstripped the demand. In the 60's and 70's, and even in the 80's most analytic institutes did not allow non-MDs to enter training, thereby limiting the available psychoanalysts. Further, in the 60's psychoanalysis was a popular treatment modality, particularly in big cities in which it was fashionable to say, "my analyst says…." There was status to having an analyst and there was a sense that as a result of being in analysis, deeper creativity and deeper meaning in life could be obtained. Further, many insurance companies paid for the treatment, so the cost was not a big issue for some, leaving only the large time commitment the major barrier to care. As time marched on, the 90s brought us SSRIs and with that limited insurance coverage for psychotherapy. In the 80s, non-MDs sued the American Psychoanalytic Association for discrimination, and they won, opening the doors to non-MD therapists to enter in psychoanalytic training. Now, we have many more providers and much less demand, creating a situation in which marketing is essential to prevent professional death. Yet, how do we teach marketing when our senior colleagues find marketing offensive, in that it might diminish the élite aspect to the field? Marketing gives up the notion that we are a sought after commodity. It makes us be more honest with our environment, which of course, is what psychoanalysis claims to do to help patients. This massive shift in supply and demand is the subject of my class entitled "Building A Psychoanalytic Practice." As I come to the end of my seminar, I hope to convey that our hard-earned psychoanalytic skills cannot be honed unless we have patients, and we can't have patients unless we announce to the world what we do. Supply and demand has flipped since psychoanalysis came to America. We either adapt or die. It is that simple.
How do you make a psychoanalyst? No one knows, is the short answer. The tradition has relied on a tripartite model in which the student, a licensed clinician, enters into a personal analysis, attends four years of classes which are four hours a week, associated with one-hundred pages of reading per week, and has three psychoanalytic case control patients, which means three patients come four times a week, and each of those patients is associated with a supervisor who discusses the clinical work. This is a daunting task for most students who have loans to pay and children to raise, and yet, year after year, the five psychoanalytic institutes in town, get students, and every year there are students who graduate, now thinking of themselves as psychoanalysts. To paraphrase Mark Twain, the reports of the death of psychoanalysis are premature. Having said that, there is no agreement about how to develop a psychoanalyst, or how to develop a psychoanalytic practice, and yet, my task is to teach this subject to first-year students. As you could predict, I pull the curtain back and expose the fact that we do not know precise definitions of a psychoanalyst or psychoanalytic treatment, but we accept that we work in a fuzzy field, in which we cannot scientifically prove that we offer help, and yet, we have the conviction that we do. To work with conviction sounds awfully like a religion, and so we discuss that too. In essence, we have, what amounts to apprenticeships, where students find mentors who guide them through their work, and so traditions are passed down, which may or may not be helpful. The student, I emphasize, must find the path that makes sense for them. This provides little comfort, as the mandate is purposefully vague. I have one more class to teach. My students are enthusiastic and confused. I think I did my job.
The grey areas of life tend to be the most anxiety provoking. The desire for a black and white world is universal, and this desire increases under stress. Tolerating mixed feelings, as a parent, as a spouse, as a professional, is the challenge of deepening one's psychic existence. Tomorrow, as we explore the prospect of building a psychoanalytic practice with new students in the profession, we will discuss how, just like with our patients, the biggest obstacle may not be the fees requested from patients, the time required from the patient, but rather self-sabotage, the reluctance in these students to push forward with their stated goal for career development. Clearly, the patient has fears about deepening psychic work in that the digging up of past experiences can be fraught with pain and anxiety, but perhaps less well known, is the fear in the analyst which makes the psychoanalyst half-halfheartedly promote intense psychological discoveries. According to Roy Schafer, becoming an analyst entails an unending effort that includes tolerating confusing uncertainties about our understanding of our patients and our role in effecting therapeutic change. In other words, the psychoanalyst, but first accept a lack of understanding of his patient, and second accept that if he does understand his patient, he may not be able to bring about symptom relief, or psychic growth. According to RS Wille, the analyst must trust in the relationship between patient and analyst and in the analytic setting as sources of meaning. He suggests that in varying degrees, all analysts struggle to maintain their analytic identity. Lena Ehrlich says we, as psychoanalysts have a reluctance "to recognize the limitations of our influence and how, despite our best efforts, our patients are ultimately responsible for how they lead their lives." This is challenging work because the psychic arena, the material in the office, as described by Parsons is make up of "symbolism, fantasy, transference and unconscious meaning." As such, psychic reality becomes the domain, a reality that cannot be proven by fact, but rather can feel right, or resonate with the patient. It is this search for resonance which guides the work, but this search comes with great humility, that resonance may or may not reflect deep meaning. In essence, working as a psychoanalyst stems from a conviction, not a science, not a religion, but a conviction, that engaging with people in a deep way, keeping the patient's interest in the foreground, allows for psychic growth. This conviction is shake-able, and so we, as psychoanalysts, must allow ourselves to question and consider alternatives, while at the same time, remind ourselves that all intense relationships are ambivalent, even therapeutic ones.

Q: Change of variables in gradient Take two coordinates with $\mathbf r$ and $\mathbf r'$ and take a function $f(|\mathbf r - \mathbf{r'}|)$. In many electromagnetism derivations I see a conversion like this
$$
\nabla_r f(|\mathbf r - \mathbf{r'}|)= -\nabla_{r'} f(|\mathbf r - \mathbf{r'}|).
$$
I used $R=r-r'$ and by the chain rule
\begin{align*}
\frac{\partial}{\partial r} &=\frac{\partial r'}{\partial r} \frac{\partial }{\partial r'}\\
&= \frac{\partial }{\partial r'}.
\end{align*}
I do not get the $-ve$ sign. What am I doing wrong?

A: $\mathbf{r}$ and $\mathbf{r}'$ are independent variables, so $\frac{\partial\mathbf{r}'}{\partial\mathbf{r}} = 0$.
This isn't a change of variables situation, it's about how $f$ depends on them.
Write $\mathbf{R}=\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r}'$. Then $f$ is a function of $\mathbf{R}$ only.
$$
\frac{\partial f}{\partial\mathbf{r}} = \frac{\partial\mathbf{R}}{\partial\mathbf{r}} \frac{\partial f}{\partial\mathbf{R}},
\qquad
\frac{\partial f}{\partial\mathbf{r}'} = \frac{\partial\mathbf{R}}{\partial\mathbf{r}'} \frac{\partial f}{\partial\mathbf{R}}.
$$
You can figure the rest out from here.

The Temple of Venus and walls of a tomb and shop in the long-neglected ruins of Pompeii near Naples have been damaged, possibly due to heavy rain, officials said on Monday.
Custodians found that a two-metre wall of an ancient shop in the ruined city - which had recently been restored - had collapsed under the weight of another wall that crumbled onto it.
It followed the discovery Sunday that parts of an archway in the temple had fallen off and a wall in the necropolis - the biggest in the ancient Roman city - had tumbled down.
The areas affected have been closed the public.
Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini has called a meeting this week to assess the damage and progress made in an EU-backed project to restore the archaeological site.
"The news of these collapses comes at a time in which there is an unprecedented vacuum in the management of Pompeii," said Antonio Irlando from the Cultural Heritage Observatory, a non-governmental group that follows work on Pompeii.
"For every collapse that is reported, there are another nine that do not make news," he said, calling the state of the ancient site "dramatic".
Conservation workers last year began a €105 million makeover of the UNESCO World Heritage landmark, funded by the European Union to the tune of €41.8 million.
Officials in February reported the completion of the first project under the plan - the restoration of the frescoed House of the Cryptoporticus - but the project has been badly delayed by bureaucracy.
The project is seen as crucial to the survival of Pompeii after a series of collapses at the 44-hectare site in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius - the volcano that destroyed the city in 79 AD.
Is red tape threatening Italy's prized ruins?


Belize has some fantastic options for beaches, including the mainland as well as the islands. Some of the beaches border on rainforests.
Belize is the historical home of the Mayan people. Many of the Mayan ruins date back about 2,000 years. The most notable to visit is Caracol, which was a major center for the Mayans.
Belize has some great options for exploring the rainforest, ziplining, waterfall rappelling, and more. Many visitors like to split their vacation between exploring and relaxing.
Belize is a known destination for scuba divers. The biggest attraction is the Great Blue Hole. It is a 500-foot deep hole in the ocean, a few miles off the coast of Belize.

Q: How to convert a vector of int representing binary to and vector of int representing the decimal number? C++ I am making a big integer library and i have a STL vector of int that represent a binary number.
the binary vector would contain {0,0,1,1}
and i need the decimal representation of this number to be stored in another vector like this
{2,1}
What i want to know is what would be the best way to do this?
Also i can't use functions like pow because this needs to work with big numbers.

A: The most direct way to do this is to simply sum the decimal representation of each power-of-2 by mimicking decimal addition.
You could obtain the decimal representation of each power-of-2 iteratively, i.e. pow(2,n+1) = pow(2,n) + pow(2,n).
So basically, once you've got decimal addition nailed, everything should be pretty easy.  This may not be the most efficient method (it's O(n^2) in the number of digits), but it should certainly work.

A: Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" Vol 2. is an excellent reference for arbitrary precision arithmetic.
A simple way to get a base 10 representation is to continously divide your number by 10, each division extracts one digit (the remainder).  This obviously requires being able to divide by 10 in whatever base you already have.
For example, if your number is 321 decimal or 101000001 binary, we can divide:
10100001 binary by 1010 binary
100000 with remainder 1 (so first digit is 1 decimal)
divide 100000 by 1010 binary
11 with remainder 10 (so next digit is 2 decimal)
divide 11 by 1010 binary
0 with remainder 11 (so last digit is 3 decimal)
According to: http://people.cis.ksu.edu/~rhowell/calculator/comparison.html this is the radix conversion algorithm used in Sun's Java BigInteger class and is O(n^2) complexity.  The authors in this link have implemented an O(n logn) algorithm based on an algorithm described in Knuth p. 592 and credited to A. Shönhage.

A: Something like that:
int a;
int temp;
a = 21;
vector<int> vet;

while(a>0)
{
temp = a % 10;
vet.push_back(temp);
a = a/10;
}


In remarks on Thursday at the annual USDA Agricultural Outlook Forum, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue said that U.S. agriculture faces challenges including regulation, trade, and a legal workforce.
Perdue said that he has been working to convey to White House staff the reality of the need for farm workers. "Agriculture is caught in the crossfire of the immigration debate," he noted.
"The current H-2A is cumbersome, convoluted and does not work for many producers," Perdue said. "We could have a better system," he added.
Perdue also said that "the people who come to America to work on farms and ranches are not taking jobs from Americans." "They are not the ones putting a burden on the criminal justice system or welfare system." "There are people that would like to come to United States on a temporary basis to work, not to become citizens," Perdue added.
Perdue also indicated that he has hired Kristi Boswell, former American Farm Bureau Federation immigration specialist, to work on the farm immigration issue full time.


Bangladesh (MNN) – Many eyes have turned to the United States as it begins the recovery process after being hit by two hurricanes. Meanwhile, Bangladesh is still being flooded by monsoon rains.
"Middle of August, one day in particular, nearly the equivalent of a week's worth of monsoon rain (so not just normal rain but monsoon rain) was dumped across parts of Bangladesh in just a couple of hours," FMI's Bruce Allen explains.
At least 145 people have died as a result of the rains reports The Guardian. Yet, despite the deaths, fewer people have died than in previous floods. For example, a great flood in 1988 killed nearly 2,400 people. The decline in deaths has been attributed to improved disaster risk reduction and education in the country.
Still, this doesn't mean that Bangladesh isn't hurting or that these monsoon rains and the flooding that follows aren't causing pain.
"They have there the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent, and they're saying the flooding in Bangladesh is the most serious it's been in 40 years — 700,000 homes [have been] either partially or totally destroyed," Allen shares.
In one of the world's poorest countries, livelihoods have been ruined. About a third to half of Bangladeshis are estimated to work in agriculture. But now, with their crops under water, the country is anticipating food shortages.
There has also been rising concern about water borne diseases, which can spread rapidly. And because even under normal circumstances it can be hard to travel through Bangladesh, transportation in flooded areas is grinding to a halt, leaving many without medical attention or even supplies.
"We have on of our national leadership team, members who are part of the team of physicians and clinicians who share the Gospel through a mobile medical clinic. They go into various villages, they pay health care directly to the people where there is no doctor office or hospital," Allen says.
This is just one way FMI partner ministries are being impacted by the monsoon rains. Many churches meet in a church member's home because they do not have a church building. When these homes are flooded, entire churches no longer have a meeting place.
At the same time, Bangladesh's Christians are presented with another way to minister in the face of disaster. How? *By showing and living out Christ's love and compassion to their neighbors, regardless of religion, race, or ethnicity.
In fact, FMI partners are already trying to help their country people in the rebuilding process by helping teach them in using brick and mortar for their homes rather than mud. While mud is good for a dry climate, and it is usually cheaper, it washes away easily.
However, the rebuilding process is going to take months and possibly years. There's the likely chance that by the time the people of Bangladesh have recovered from this rainy season, the Monsoon season will again be upon them.
Please pray for Bangladesh. Pray for the rains to stop, the waters to recede, and for a quick recovery. Also, pray for people to recover from illness.
And pray for Bangladeshi Christians to continue sharing the Gospel, along with Christ's love and compassion in this hard time, and for people's lives to be changed by this message. Pray for both the churches and their pastors to be able to meet, learn, and worship together as well as a recovery/buildings that can withstand future monsoon seasons.
Want to help in a tangible way? FMI's "Tangible Resources" funds will be used to help pastors and congregations purchase building materials once the rebuilding process begins. The fund also helps provide emergency food and other physical needs.
Another way to help is to financially support a pastor/church planter. Find out how here!

*Please pray for an FMI partner who is praying with and for a Muslim family's health. One of the family members is currently suffering from a serious disease and has no way to seek medical help. Pray for the neighbor to make a full recovery and for God to be glorified through it.
Pray for the rains to stop and for a quick recovery.
Pray for Christians to continue sharing the Gospel, Christ's love, and compassion.

Abstract: The purpose of the study is to trace and review the growth and development of the Pakistani Equity Market. The capital markets in Pakistan has been undergoing a major restructuring programme. Number of measures have been taken to liberalise investment procedures and encourage capital formation through stock exchanges, enlarge size and depth of capital markets. We are witnessing globally a remarkable pace of change from a social and economic perspective. Capital markets being driven by the floods of competition and technology are experiencing so many new challenges and changes inducing them to incline more towards complex structures which would not have been considered possible few time back. Capital markets play an important role in the economic development of emerging capital markets. These markets are an important and efficient conduit to channel and mobilise funds to enterprises, and provide an effective source of investment in the economies they serve. Well functioning markets ensure that both corporations and investors get or receive fair prices for their securities. Their role for mobilising savings for investment in productive assets is acute which subsequently enhance the country's long term growth prospects. Therefore we can deduce here that their role is like a major catalyst for transformation of the country's economy into a more efficient and competitive emporium within the global workroom.

That, winter season, Aaron also obtained his share of hate mail, primarily from racists who cannot fathom the fact that a black guy is about to set a record that a white supremist had established way back again in 1935. 4 a long time of white dominance in baseball was coming to an end. To Aaron, this hate mail was actually a supply of inspiration. Although he feared for his family members's and his life, he never really departed from his desire to maintain swing away. In his personal phrases, "I can't go into hibernation now," he said at the finish of the '73 period. "I can't hide. I've said that all I have to do to break Babe Ruth's document is to stay alive, but I've received to reside my lifestyle." His inspirational story continued.
Long time in the past, baseball was only about bats produced of wooden and a great baseball sport at grass fields. However, new age and technology provides higher-tech bats. The bats almost remind at some dangerous weapons, however the safety is the precedence.

Hundreds of students at Our Lady of Prompt Succor School filed into the church sanctuary Wednesday morning, filling the front pews and awaiting the start of Mass in quiet reverence. Behind them were some parents and parishioners also ready to start the Lenten season.
Kids actively took part in the Ash Wednesday Mass, with a student beginning the service with a short explanation of the meaning behind the day.
"We recognize ashes on our head as a sign of human weakness," the boy said. "It's a reminder to try a little harder (during Lent)."
Other students offered readings and led the congregation in prayer. As one read, another held up a sign with what the congregation was to respond.

It's important to leaders of the school that the kids participate and understand the season.
"Lent is a very important season of the year," Principal Jo Tassin said. "We want to tell the children it all starts with Ash Wednesday. It (represents) the 40 days Jesus was in the desert. We celebrate with fasting, almsgiving and penance."
The Rev. Dan O'Connor delivered the Gospel reading about those three things and then spoke directly to the students. He talked of two camps of people when it comes to Lent — those excited about the season and those who begrudge giving up something and "praying extra." He told students it's OK to be in either camp but cautioned them not to go through the motions.
"The purpose of lent is not for us to think what a great person we are — 'I gave up this, I gave up that, I'm so holy,'" O'Connor said. "... The purpose of Lent is really to recognize we are not as close to Jesus as we should be and we can't become like Jesus on our own strength, on our power. ... Lent is to remind us how much we need God's help to be the people we need to be."

He said the ashes students would wear on their foreheads throughout the day would be a reminder that everyone needs Jesus' help.
"Take Lent one day at a time," he said. "Each day say, 'Jesus, help me.'"
At St. Frances Cabrini School, elementary students received a similar message Wednesday morning. Sister Nina Vincent, principal of the school, said the Lenten season is "an opportunity for everyone to focus on growing closer to God."
"In the Catholic Church, we do that through fasting, penance and almsgiving, she said. "But whether you're Catholic or not, it is a reminder that our lives are not about us. There is something much greater that calls us to love and serve our neighbor out of love for God. Lent gives us 40 days to focus on that, to see what needs to change in our lives to make us more like Christ. It's never too early to work on becoming a better disciple of Christ, and that's what we teach our students."

More than 500 kids at Cabrini celebrated Mass before class Wednesday.
"It is important for us to go as a school because the Mass is an essential element of our Catholic faith," said Clayton Cobb, director of religious education. "Worshiping our Lord together and observing such holy days helps to emphasize the importance of the season of Lent."

The Ninth Circuit granted the petition for review of the BIA's precedent decision in Matter of Almanza-Arenas, which held that a conviction for vehicle theft under California Vehicle Code §10851(a) constitutes a crime involving moral turpitude (CIMT). The court remanded to the BIA, holding that, because the least of the acts criminalized under §10851(a) is a temporary taking, the statute is overbroad and thus not categorically a CIMT. The court also found that §10851(a) is an indivisible statute under Descamps v. United States.


On September 3, 2015 SecuriTeam disclosed a vulnerability in the Ubiquiti Networks mFi Controller, a software to configure and control automation devices such as power outlets, light/motion/temperature sensors, etc. To understand the capabilities of the machine-to-machine platform, please have a look at the vendor page.
The security flaw allows an attacker to retrieve the current admin password due to a bypass in the authentication mechanism used by the mFi Controller Server.
Just few hours after the public release of the SSD Advisory – Ubiquiti Networks mFi Controller Server Authentication Bypass, the page was removed to accommodate the vendor's request since a patch was not available for download. According to the advisory and Noam Rathaus's tweet, the vendor was aware of this critical vulnerability since the beginning of July 2015.
Considering that the advisory published on 09/03/2015 contained a technical description of the vulnerability, including a reliable exploit, it is reasonable to assume that the security flaw can be easily abused by unsophisticated attackers. While the information was removed from the SecuriTeam website and /r/netsec, a quick search on Google is sufficient to find the exploit for this bug.
Despite the public exposure, Ubiquiti has yet to publish a patch.
After waiting patiently for a few weeks, I created my own patch. Using mFiPatchMe, you will be able to easily patch your controller and leave it running without worries.
Disclaimer: This is NOT an official patch provided by Ubiquiti Networks.
