Seahawks' Michael Bennett Sits Out National Anthem...
Colin Kaepernick's National Anthem Protest Has Officially Ended
Colin Kaepernick will no longer kneel for the national anthem before NFL games, according to a new report from ESPN's Adam Schefter. And so ends one of the most overblown and debated chapters in recent NFL history.
According to Schefter, Kaepernick "no longer wants his method of protest to detract from the positive change he believes has been created… He also said the amount of national discussion on social inequality — as well as support from other athletes nationwide, including NFL and NBA players — affirmed the message he was trying to deliver."
Kaepernick ignited opinions in the 2016 preseason when he refused to stand for the national anthem, later telling the media that he was protesting the inequality felt by minorities when it comes to police, including the growing concern over police brutality. He later switched from sitting the anthem out completely to simply kneeling.
Some other players in the NFL (and other pro leagues) joined Kaepernick in his protest, while right-wing critics attacked him for being "unpatriotic" or "ungrateful." Despite the controversy, Kaepnernick kept his protest going throughout the season, while also putting his money where his mouth is — he donated $1 million to community organizations that specialized in helping minorities. The San Francisco 49ers matched his donations with another $1 million of their own.
Kaepernick is likely going to opt out of his current contract this off-season and become a free agent. He began 2016 as the backup in San Fran behind Blaine Gabbert, but eventually became their starter after Week 5.

A new theory has emerged claiming to give the real reason the Twin Towers collapsed.

debunkers
Note: This is a new theory being floated around in the media to attempt to explain the sound of explosions and molten metal at ground zero. I do not support this theory
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3827802/New-Twin-Tower-theory-emerges.html
A NEW theory has emerged claiming to give the REAL reason the Twin Towers fell after the 9/11 attacks.
Just before the two World Trade Centre skyscrapers crashed to the ground on September 11, 2001, a series of huge blasts were heard in the buildings.
And a leading scientist says they could have been the sound of molten aircraft metal reacting with water from sprinkler systems in the towers.
The sudden collapse of the towers after they were hit by two passenger jets has previously been blamed on over-heated steel beams.
But Norwegian expert Dr Christian Simensen believes the violent chemical reaction between molten aluminium from the aircraft and water is what actually ripped out the buildings' internal structure.
Dr Simensen, from the SINTEF institute based in Trondheim, Norway, said: "Both scientific experiments and 250 reported disasters suffered by the aluminium industry have shown that the combination of molten aluminium and water releases enormous explosions."
Almost 3,000 people died after al-Qaeda terrorists flew two fuel-laden planes into the World Trade Centre in Manhattan.
The impacts triggered massive explosions and fires, but the subsequent collapse of each tower came as a shock to those watching the disaster unfold.
Blasts heard just before the buildings fell have led to conspiracy theories that explosives were set off inside the towers.
But Dr Simensen believes after crashing into the skyscrapers the two jets would have been trapped within an insulating layer of debris.
As a result, the aircraft hulls rather than the buildings absorbed most of the heat from the burning aviation fuel.
It is then claimed molten aluminium from the jets, flowing down through staircases and gaps in the floors, reacted with water from emergency sprinklers on the lower levels.
Dr Simensen, who presented his theory at an international materials conference in San Diego, California, said: "I regard it as extremely likely that it was these explosions that made the skyscrapers collapse by tearing out part of the internal structure, and that this caused the uppermost floors of the buildings to fall and crush the lower parts.
"In other words, I believe that these were the explosions that were heard by people in the vicinity and that have since given life to the conspiracy theories that explosives had been placed in the skyscrapers."

Remarkably...
...that airplane aluminum, after it was initially shredded precisely like shot from 15 blasts from a 12 gauge shotgun, ripping off every stitch of insulation even on the backside of the columns, reformed itself into larger pieces as it heated up in that fateful hour. Suddenly the sprinkler system sprang to life, with its soothing water focused directly on that molten aluminum which had ample time to coalesce into series of pools at critical columns, creating a cacophony of explosions that previously went undetected by NIST.
Coincidently one intrepid aluminum pool managed to escape that cooling water, and poured outside about 7 minutes before the south towers final destruction, combining with wood paneling and desks, causing it's molten flow to look exactly like molten iron. Incredibly the pulsating jets of water, synchronistically timed as it exploded those aluminum pools, blew out the floors thrusting massive perimeter panels hundreds of feet, while turning acres of concrete into powder. Yet small gobs of aluminum doggedly clung to key points on the spire of core columns which stood tall long after the main floors fell, finally exploding from the humidity, dropping those very last remnants of a once proud icon, straight down.
Alas dear reader heed my warning, and be ever vigilant when flying a jet plane with hot engines through a rainstorm, or this same tragic fate could happen to you.

Pathetic!
Lamest one yet!... (edit: the article, not Jon's reply)
But anyways, NIST said there weren't any explosions, so how could that be?...
In any case, good advise Jon. Yet another reason to avoid planes!!!

Great writeup Cole.
The debunkers can submit this for their peer-reviewed paper.
TomT on Thu, 09/22/2011 - 8:47am.
1) NIST should have been aware of this info re: aluminum/water; did it rule it out? NIST provided no explanation for the alleged 'global collapse' sequence, it just asserted it happened following 'initiation'.
2) Simensen, a materials scientist, is rejecting NIST's theory about the cause of collapse.
"In a controlled experiment carried out by Alcoa Aluminium, 20 kilos (44 pounds) of molten aluminium was allowed to react with 20 litres of water, along with a small quantity of rust. "The explosion destroyed the entire laboratory and left a crater 30 metres (100 feet) in diameter," Simensen said. By comparison, the aircraft carried 30 tonnes of aluminium into each of the towers, according to his calculations." http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-09-theory-collapse-twin-towers.html
3) It seems extremely unlikely, as Jon Cole suggested (I'm assuming the comment was sarcastic ; ) that the aluminum in a plane being shredded and exploded to bits (most probably weighing fractions of an ounce, though some might weigh pounds), while it's simultaneously turning the inside of an office building into chaos, could be combined into the controlled conditions that facilitated the kind of explosion Simensen references. Probably sprinklers were going off, water pipes had burst, and some aluminum may have melted, but the fires weren't that hot or that extensive. Even considering that some of the aluminum cladding from the WTC walls was probably carried into the building doesn't seem it would make a difference. Perhaps there were some aluminum/water reactions, but it seems even less likely that this could have led to the massive explosive forces witnessed consistently blowing apart both WTC towers all the way to the ground.
Some kind of controlled demolition is still the only reasonable explanation, but it's interesting that certain people are rejecting the NIST report, even as they grasp for explanations other than CD.
Simensen has published a number of articles:

For once, it's nice to see a wacky theory
coming from the other side, instead of coming from the 9/11 Truth side (like video fakery, holographic planes, beams from space, etc.)!

In one respect I think this is a huge step forward
MSM recognition of explosions!!!!!!! That is important

Simultaneous Focus Of Major Energy Needed To Destroy WTC
Many of the reported WTC explosions occurred below the fire zones and even within the WTC sub-levels. And most of the aircraft aluminum apparently settled inside of the north or south exterior face impact zones of WTC 2 and WTC 1 respectively. There is no visible evidence of any massive explosions pre-collapse in these areas.
The WTC vertical support core columns were massively strong.
Breif fires can't seem to explain their fire zone failures and the relatively slow release of potential energy contained with the mass of 20-30 burning floors of each WTC tower, can't seem to explain the total destruction of 80-90 floors of redundant structure below the fire zones.
At least some in the media now seem almost desparate to find alternatives to the major evidence of "inside job" WTC demolitions.
Aidan Monaghan on Thu, 09/22/2011 - 4:51am.
New Twist, Old Theory
So another "reason" that precipitates the pile-driver theory. Weak.
At least t the reported explosions are beginning to be acknowledged in the mainstream....
Mediaguy on Thu, 09/22/2011 - 7:50am.
regular sequence?
And this meeting of molten aluminium with water was able to occur on every third or fourth floor apparently, judging by the way the puffs ejected. Very clever stuff!
Frank Legge on Thu, 09/22/2011 - 10:00am.
I have done experiments with molten aluminum
as many of you may recall. These were reported in lectures AND in my first paper on 9/11 studies, now in Griffin and Scott's book and available also in J911Studies.
I would need to see this technical report before I would give this any credence:
"Alcoa Aluminium carried out an experiment under controlled conditions, in which 20 kilos of aluminium smelt were allowed to react with 20 kilos of water, to which some rust was added.
"The explosion destroyed the entire laboratory and left a crater 30 metres in diameter," says Simensen."
I need to see the actual report first, as I am quite skeptical that they would perform this in a lab that might be destroyed (and was destroyed, it is claimed), and skeptical of the size of the crater also.
I have personally, with Wes Lifferth and students, poured molten aluminum onto WET wallboard material sitting on rusty steel, and there was NO violent reaction whatsoever. Thus, my experiments of several years ago tend to contradict the latest (wild) claims.

What happens when..... ?
What happens when molten aluminum meets with water? Let's find out, this is what science is all about. No rust was added to my knowledge here, maybe that is the explosive catalyst?
Google, yahoo, and lycos searches find no results regarding this experiment regarding alcoa, but I sent a message via their contact, general information to see if there is any confirmation. I will post any response here.
Of course, the author of this paper doesn't take into account WTC7, I wonder if he even knows about it?
peace everyone.
dtg86 on Thu, 09/22/2011 - 5:40pm.
Question for Professor Jones [public ATM experiment]
This is a bit off-topic, but have you considered doing a public ignition of WTC thermitic chip material in a calorimeter?
The experiment could be video-taped by media outlets (even if small--though larger if possible), and could be attended by as many scientists as you could bring in. The chips might not provide much direct visual excitement--if they can even be seen-- but the scientists' reaction to the calorimeter reading could prove valuable.
Thanks for your work, sacrifices, and excellent experiments.

Tour of an aluminum plant
Around 2007 or early 2008, I had the opportunity to tour an aluminum plant. This small plant would take certain grades of aluminum scrap and remelt the aluminum for certain industrial applications (extrusion billet). http://www.hydro.com/en/About-Hydro/Hydro-worldwide/USA/Commerce/
The plant had a policy that no soda cans nor cigarette lighters could come onto the property, because of potential problems caused by contamination in the remelt.
It was quite a sight to see a large pond of molten aluminum.
Prior to the walking tour, I asked if they ever had problems with thermitic reactions from contaminants such as rusty iron. The administrator's eyes brightened up, pleasantly surprised by the question. She stated that yes, there have been instances where this occurred. She explained that it would cause all kinds of problems with the melt, such as spattering violent reactions, temperature change of the melt, etc.
I think that a lot of questions regarding the nature of molten aluminum could be answered by people in the industry.

Clare Hall Manor is a former health facility in Blanche Lane, South Mimms, Hertfordshire, England. It is a Grade II listed building.

History
The estate was formed in the early 18th century. The house was built as a private residence in 1745 and became St Monica's Priory, a Roman Catholic nunnery, in 1886. In 1896 the house was converted into a hospital so allowing the transfer of smallpox treatment services from Highgate Hospital; the new facility became known as Clare Hall Hospital. Following substantial progresstowards eradication of smallpox, the hospital converted to the treatment of tuberculosis patients in 1912 and became Clare Hall Sanatorium in 1929.

In 1938, a series of brick huts, operated as part of the Emergency Medical Service, was built on the opposite side of Blanche Lane and were in use throughout the Second World War. It joined the National Health Service as Clare Hall Hospital in 1948.

After the hospital closed in 1974, the buildings were acquired by the London Research Institute which carried out biotechnological research at the manor. After research services transferred to the Francis Crick Institute in 2015, Clare Hall was advertised for sale.

The deadline to guarantee Tesla delivery by the time an electric vehicle tax credit gets cut in half was in October.
A lucrative tax credit available to Tesla buyers will drop by $3,750 on January 1, but there may be some hope for potential customers who missed the October 15 deadline.
CEO Elon Musk tweeted Tuesday that potential buyers can join a cancellation waitlist to possibly take delivery of their vehicle ahead of the credit's reduction on January 1. If the car isn't delivered by then, they can request a full refund.
The US government gives people who buy electric vehicles a tax credit of $2,500 to $7,500, depending on the vehicle's size and battery capacity. As Tesla wrote in an annual report filed with the US Securities and Exchange Committee in February, its customers get the full $7,500.
But two calendar quarters after a company sells its 200,000th electric vehicle in the US, the tax credit begins to phase out. Tesla confirmed to Business Insider in July that it had passed the 200,000-vehicle threshold. It is the first company to have its credits phased out.
To be on the cancellation waitlist for delivery this year or if you want a display car, order at https://t.co/46TXqRJ3C1 or visit our stores. Full refund if Tesla can't deliver your car this year.

Q: Plot and DSolve I'm working on this code to modify it but I can't plot it and solve the second part?!!
Clear["Global`*"]
eqns = {y[x]^2 - Sqrt[3] (a/b) y[x]*Sqrt[y[x]^2 - k x^-2 - f] - k (1 - 2/(3 b))x^-2 -f == 0};
sol =FullSimplify[Solve[eqns, y[x]], Assumptions -> {a > 0, b > 0, k > 0, f > 0}]
a = 1; b = 0.24; f = 0.68; k = 0.002;
Plot[sol[[1]], {a, 0, 10}]
y1[x_] = y[x] /. sol
DSolve[{y1[x[t]] == x'[t]/x[t]}, x[t], t]

A:
now next part isn't working

If you go step by step, it will become more clear. I assume this is what you wanted. This is for one solution from Solve for illustration, as there are 4 solutions. You can do the same for the other 3 solutions. You also need to change x to x[t] to make an ode. Also it is better to use exact numbers with DSolve. Also the first plot should be w.r.t. x and not a since a is a number.
Clear["Global`*"]
eqns = {y[x]^2 - Sqrt[3] (a/b) y[x]*Sqrt[y[x]^2 - k x^-2 - f] -
     k (1 - 2/(3 b)) x^-2 - f == 0};
a = 1; b = 24/100; f = 68/100; k = 2/1000;
(*use first solution for now *)
sol = y[x] /. First@FullSimplify[Solve[eqns, y[x]]]

 Plot[Abs@sol, {x, 1, 10}]

y1 = sol /. x -> x[t]
ode = y1 == x'[t]/x[t]

But this ode can't be solved exactly (it is non linear) and the solution has an integral that can not be solved
DSolve[ode, x[t], t]

You might want to use NDSolve instead.

ALTHOUGH it is unfortunate but true that mental abilities decline with age — even without dementia or other neurological conditions that affect mental functioning — there are steps you can take to minimize these changes, says the January 2012 issue of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine's Focus on Healthy Aging.
WHILE surveys suggest that about 90 percent of older adults want to live independently for as long as possible, "aging in place" — remaining in your present residence — requires adapting to the changes that come with getting older, says the January 2012 issue of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine's Focus on Healthy Aging.
IT is estimated that more than half of U.S. adults take at least one dietary supplement daily, or occasionally — but a group of researchers are now saying that vitamin and mineral supplements may be doing some individuals more harm than good, says the February 2012 issue of the Johns Hopkins Health After 50.
IN October, when the U.S. Preventive Task Force issued the recommendation that men not get routine PSA screening for prostate cancer, many men were surprised and/or angry — similar to the way women reacted two years ago when new mammogram guidelines were released, says the January 2012 issue of the University of California Wellness Letter.
ALTHOUGH some forms of pneumonia can be quite mild, others can rapidly turn serious and even be life-threatening, especially during the severe winter hazards — while treatments are available, the best approach is to try to prevent infection, says the January 2012 issue of the Mayo Clinic Health Letter.

There are many reasons that drivers choose to buy a used car instead of a new model. There are quite a few factors involved, but one of the main reasons is to save money. Here are a handful of ways that used cars can be better than new models.
Side by side, a new car will almost always cost more than a used model. This is due to the depreciation that new cars experience as soon as they leave the lot under new ownership. Depreciation can reduce a car's value by up to 40 percent.
Fortunately, used cars have already had at least one owner, meaning that they don't experience depreciation. Used cars will retain their value for a longer period of time after they leave the lot under new ownership.
Insurance rates are usually determined by several factors, including how much it would cost to replace the vehicle if it were totaled. Since new cars cost more, they tend to be more expensive to replace. That leads to higher insurance rates, a factor that many drivers don't consider until after the purchase has been finalized.
Used cars, on the other hand, cost a good amount less than new cars. That means the cost to insure them tends to be lower as well. Drivers looking to cut costs, avoid sticker shock, or trim their budget might find that a used car better meets their needs in the long term.
At the time of writing, interest rates are at a historic low, which means there's not as much for you to pay to take out a loan on a used car. Many lenders are more willing to finance a used vehicle, as the loans for those vehicles are generally for lower amounts. As a result, those with not-so-good credit might find themselves driving a used car for less money.

WATCH: What is the plan for the Boston Celtics after quiet free agency start?
David Richard-USA TODAY Sports
August 3, 2021 1:47 pm ET
Not only have the Boston Celtics not signed any players of note in the first day or so of the 2021 summer free agency period, but they have not even finalized some of the trades that began leaking out last Friday. This in turn is causing at best intense curiosity and at worst severe consternation among fans about where the team is headed, and what the plan is given the apparent inaction.
With veteran shooting guard Evan Fournier on his way to join the New York Knicks just months after being traded into the bulk of the Gordon Hayward traded player exception, what the plan beyond bringing on wing Josh Richardson in his stead is remains unclear. Should Celtics fans feel justified in being worried?
NBC Sports Boston's Chris Forsberg, Chris Mannix, Brian Scalabrine, Abby Chin, and Jeff Goodman try their best to make some sense of what the plan might be long-term with the Celtics, and perhaps assuage those concerns a little bit in the video embedded below.
Watch the clip to get some feedback on what Boston has done so far — and more importantly, what might be coming down the pike.

Q: Sequential RxJava network calls I want to make two calls one for a list of github repos second for commits on each repo and want to save them together.
In the second call I need the instance of the parent pojo so I can add the child response to it.
i.e save : Gitrepo
where
Gitrepo{
var name:String,
var commit:Commit //<-this is fetched in second call
}

current code:
                        networkModule.getRepos()
                        .flatMap { itemList ->

Near Bologna, using the new axis equipped,we are easily accessible from major motorways. When you get to the ``Fountain of Gessaroli`` you find yourself immersed in the green, our estate of approximately 30 hectares is mostly full of arable crops of wheat, barley, alfalfa and sunflower; upstream is the vineyard.
Important part of the territory is occupied by forests of maple, downy, chestnut, dogwood, acacia, wild cherry trees that allow us to practice beekeeping in a pristine environment.
The land is rendered fertile especially for the presence of numerous sources (hence the name farm Fontana) that flow downstream feeding the pond which characterizes the territory.
we use some renewable energy produced by the plants in the company (photovoltaic panels and solar panels) fruits and vegetables that we use in the kitchen are grown without the use of chemical products paper products supplied services are branded Ecolabel.
We mapped out a path leading from the garden of the ancient fruits, flanks the vineyard and continues becoming nature trail where you can live with the alternation of different crops in an area of high biodiversity, since this is the Nature Network 2000. At the edge of the forest you can enjoy a wonderful view that starting from the Basilica of S. Luke goes to meet downstream our quaint pond and the Po Valley on the horizon.
On the way back we meet the area dedicated to archery and to end at the side of the garden of the ancient fruit is a grove equipped for relaxation and reading.
Therefore we will have a balance between physical activities and relaxation in the green between the colors and scents of the forest, transforming a simple walk in a training program.
Recently, this area has been recognized as a Site of Community Importance under Directive 92/43 EEC known as the Habitats Directive, confirming the great importance of the area where there are species and natural habitats typical of cave environments and chalky generally. We are in fact in the "Parco dei Gessi".
In these places the human settlement is attested by many important artefacts found during archaeological excavations near the cave Gortani and the slopes of Mount Rocca,arrowheads, raschiatoi in selce, ceramic material from the Bronze Age to the medieval ruins through Etruscan and Roman finds(Archaeological Museum of Bologna).
From a document of XI century we know that there was already a castle in a strategic defensive position, became a fiefdom of Matilde di Canossa; among the various events was destroyed and rebuilt, currently remain slender traces, while it is still visible the cistern to collect water carved into the chalky rock.
Inside the structure we have a maximum capacity of 25/30 seats, therefore, the climate is very familiar but reserved at the same time.
In the kitchen we follow the seasonality of products, therefore we do not have an "a la carte menu", our dishes are prepared according to traditional Bolognese cuisine, with particular attention in search for raw materials, also offering fresh pasta dishes homemade is necessary to book.
For breakfast we propose jams of our production, biscuits and homemade cakes, our acacia honey, chestnut, linden.
Exclusive events for the menu can be agreed in advance.
Important! The restaurant works only under mandatory reservation! Customer are pleased to book in advance.
Our farmhouse has three comfortable and cozy rooms, with television, ensuite bathroom with showers (paved with stones and stone strips), hairdryer and personal care necessaire.
In front of the main building we rent an apartment without architectural barriers, totally independent, located adjacent to the porch with a panoramic view of Bologna and province.
The apartment is composed by a living room with small kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. All the spaces have been designed to facilitate the disabled with particular attention to the materials.
Attention! To arrive to via Valle you must go through via Don Minzoni.

Obasanjo: Nigeria's Situation Bad But There's Light Light Beyond The Tunnel
By ifeanyi On Aug 21, 2019
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says Nigeria's
socio-economic-political situation of Nigeria is bad but expressed optimism that things would be good again.
Obasanjo stated this while addressing a gathering at a youth programme organised by the Youth Development Centre, an arm of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, in Abeokuta on Tuesday.
The ex-president said, "I have tremendous hope in Nigeria; I am an incurable optimist about Nigeria.
"Having run the affairs of Nigeria as a military head of state when some people felt there was virtually no hope, we turned it around.
"During the Murtala Muhammed government and my government soldiers who were working in Lagos and who had to go to the office in public transport did not wear their uniforms, they were ashamed.
"But within the space of six months, they were proudly wearing their uniforms. So, it can be done.
"Don't lose hope. The current situation is bad. I don't need to tell you that, but I can see the light beyond the tunnel. There is light beyond the tunnel."
He added, "There should be no Nigerian child that should be out of school for any reason.
"You have already got your Boko Haram in the next 15 years if you don't do anything about that. So, whatever you are talking about, unless you take care of inclusivity, you will not get there. Quality is important, but inclusivity is much better."

The New York University Tandon School of Engineering is ranked among top undergraduate online engineering programs offered by New York colleges.
Several online programs offered by New York universities and colleges are featured in U.S. News' 2019 rankings of the best such programs. The rankings, released on Tuesday, evaluate both bachelor's programs and graduate programs in nursing, education, business and engineering. Over 1,500 online programs are featured in the rankings.


I had a 12-hour layover in Vancouver yesterday on my way back to London, but I didn't mind too much as I could leave my suitcase at the left luggage and take the Sky Train into the city. It takes about 20 minutes and a day pass, which gives you access to most public transport within the city, is under $10. My first destination was the Lululemon Lab, a design hub on West Broadway, where local designers collaborate to produce technical clothing that is a little hipper (i.e. less colourful) than the regular Lulu kit. It's all locally made — very locally, in fact: in the room adjacent to the store.
I had woken up at 5.15 Saskatoon time and by this point it was 10.30 and I was in desperate need of a proper coffee; luckily, I had earmarked a few places nearby. The closest was Innocent Coffee on West 4th Avenue — a small, dollhouse-like house containing a tiny coffee bar on the ground floor. Innocent is run by a brother–sister team, who made me an excellent iced pourover, which woke me up and cooled me down in the hot Vancouver sun.
Caffeine crisis dealt with, food was my next requirement. I thought I would have a quick bite to eat and then a late lunch, but it turns out that West 4th is a great place to get brunch or brunch-like fare. I stopped at Sophie's Cosmic Café, partly because I liked the look of the patio seating area, and partly because I'd heard good things about their eggs Benedict — the primary brunch dish in Vancouver. I can't resist an avo–egg combo, so of course I ordered the Santa Fe eggs Benny, which came with guacamole, salsa, black beans and home fries. It was delicious, although kind of ruined my 'quick bite to eat' plan.
After brunch, I made a brief stop at the original Lululemon, which is just across the street from Sophie's, although I didn't buy anything. The ten or so blocks of West 4th Avenue between Fir and Macdonald are a great place to shop and to wander. There are tons of cute boutiques and nice restaurants and cafés. I headed into 49th Parallel for a macchiato and a salted caramel doughnut (I was full, but I knew it would be the last doughnut for a while).
The sun was getting seriously hot by then, so I headed down to Kitsilano Beach, which is a great place to spend the afternoon on a sunny day. The beach is sandy, there are wonderful views of the city and the mountains, and you can swim, rent kayaks or just lie down and enjoy the sun. I didn't have my swimming kit with me, so I just lay in the sun and paddled. Oh, and leaped, of course.
I then walked around the waterfront to Granville Island, stopping to browse all of the cool design-inspired gifts at Make, before catching the sea bus to Yaletown, an area in the southeast part of downtown Vancouver. As well as lots of interesting restaurants and bars, Yaletown has a lot of cool boutiques. I would have liked to have spent more time there, but time was not on my side.
Instead, I walked back to downtown to do a bit of last-minute shopping, stopped by Japadog — a food truck serving Japanese-style hotdogs — for a quick dinner, and then caught the train back to the airport for the flight back to London. An action-packed day, but a fun one. It would have been nice to spend a couple more days in Vancouver, so that I could have explored Yaletown and Fairview, and done the Grouse Grind (or taken the cable car, at least), but you can see a lot of the city in three or four days. I'll be doing round-up of some of my favourite Vancouver and Saskatoon coffee bars later in the week.

Cruise through any park in Amsterdam and you'll notice how much people exercise outdoors in this city. There are loads of bootcamps, running groups, personal training sessions and fitness classes offered in all major Amsterdam parks. Maybe we should take a hint from these outdoor exercisers because there are many benefits to an outdoor workout that you can't get in the gym -- fresh air, mind/body connection with nature, lots of space, sunshine (sometimes), and changing up your typical exercise regimen. All reasons why you should try the Workout of the Week: KETTLEBELL OUTDOOR AMSTERDAM.
A kettlebell is that funky bell-shaped weight with a handle at the top that let's you swing, push, press, lift and even drag it. The weights range from light to heavy which enables people of all fitness levels to use them and allows a variety of exercises to be performed.
Kettlebell classes allow you to train high intensity intervals with short rest breaks in between. This intense type of training enhances your endurance, explosiveness and strength.
FYF community member, Steph, is a frequent flyer at the Kettlebell Outdoor workouts in Vondelpark so I joined her for a Monday evening 19:00 lesson. We started with a warm up -- a few jogging laps around the training area followed by dynamic exercises like high knees, shuffles, and walking lunges to get the body warm. The workout was divided into 3 circuits, with 3 sets in each circuit. Most exercises involved swinging, pressing, or lifting the kettlebell with some bodyweight exercises, like pushups, scattered in between. We covered it all -- legs, chest, triceps, and the last circuit specifically focused on abs and core.
It was a full body workout in just an hour and man was I feeling it during the workout and for the rest of the week as well! It's clear to see why Steph and others keep returning to Kettlebell outdoor. The training sessions are really diverse covering strength, endurance, mobility, explosivity and other complex skills. This makes the sessions fun and always different.
Classes in English As long as there is 1 non-native Dutchie in the class, they always teach classes in English.
Accessibility If you live in Amsterdam then you probably live nearby to one of the parks where Kettlebell Outdoor sets up camp: Westerpark, Vondelpark and Oosterpark.
Availability They offer classes in the morning (7:00) and evening (19:00, 20:00) during weekdays and other times on weekends. Oh and don't worry about weather getting in the way because they offer classes all year long; rain or shine, cold or hot...they are always there. Since they bring all the equipment all you need to bring is some water and because the workout is outdoors, be prepared that you may get dirty. But a little dirt never hurt anyone, right?
Variety Steph shared the reason she keeps coming back to Kettlebell Outdoor is because, "each class is different. Even the format can change so you're always getting a new workout which can be endurance, HIIT, strength training or a combination." The classes can be hard and intensive but you will enjoy each training session because of the great variety in the workouts which makes classes go by fast and challenges the body each time.
Getting strong & fit in the great outdoors There is something magical about exercise in an outdoor setting, even in the rain and snow. You'll feel stronger and gain an increased body/mind connection.

A 59-year-old Italian weightlifter broke a Guinness World Record by holding a 220.46-pound deadlift for 6 minutes, 3 seconds.

Marcello Ferri, who holds multiple Guinness records for weightlifting, attempted the record for longest duration deadlift with a 220.46-pound weight in his hometown of Pesaro, Italy, and he was able to hold the weight in the deadlift position for the mark.
Ferri first broke the record in 2019, with a time of 2 minutes, 7.45 seconds, and he broke it a second time in February 2020, when he held the position for 3 minutes, 42.37 seconds.
The weightlifter said his training involved a lot of physical exercise, but also a lot of mental preparation.
"Six minutes is not only a physical endeavor, but a mental one, too. If you're not [focused] all the time, your hands weaken and then open up," Ferri said.
Ferri said he now set his sights on two more records: the heaviest weight lifted with the toes and the most weight lifted by dumbbell rows in one minute with one arm.

An Oregon man captured photos of his unusual encounter with an extremely rare animal: a Sierra Nevada red fox.
Alan Miles, of Bend, said he was in the parking lot of Skyliner in Mount Bachelor when he saw another person taking photos of an animal.
"I saw a lady taking a photo of this animal on the hill, looked up and it was this very unusual animal -- it was not a dog -- and just thought it was real special," Miles told KTVZ-TV.
Wildlife experts reviewed Miles' photos and identified the animal as a Sierra Nevada red fox. The species is considered extremely rare, with fewer than 50 believed to exist in the wild in California.
The Oregon Department of Fish And Wildlife said the species was first confirmed to be living in Oregon in 2015.
"Very little is known about the Sierra Nevada red fox," Fish and Wildlife biologist Jamie Bowles said. "We haven't taken a look yet at population size estimates or density in our area."
The photos that Miles snapped show an animal that has mostly black fur, with white at the end of its tail and on its paws.
"So it is a misnomer, their name, the Sierra Nevada red fox," Bowles said. "We actually see a lot more of the darker-coated foxes here in Central Oregon, specifically in the higher elevations."
Czech diver breaks Guinness record for swimming under ice
A Czech freediver broke a Guinness World Record when he swam for a distance of 265 feet under the ice of a frozen lake.
David Vencl held his breath for 1 minute, 35 seconds while swimming under the ice at a lake in Lahost.
Vencl, who was not allowed to wear fins or a diving suit because of Guinness rules, swam a total distance of 265 feet. He beat the current record of 250 feet, which was set by Danish swimmer Stig Avall Severinsen in 2013.
Vencl's support team had to verify that the ice on the lake was at least 11.8 inches thick, another Guinness requirement.
The swimmer said evidence from his swim is now being submitted to the record-keeping organization for official verification.
78 pounds of wool sheared from sheep found living in the wild
A sheep found living in the wild in Australia was given an overdue shearing and instantly lost 78 pounds.
The Edgar's Mission Farm Sanctuary said the sheep, now named Baarack, was found living in the wild near Lancefield, Victoria, and rescuers believe he was on his own for several years.
The sanctuary said it appeared that Baarack once had an ear tag, but his overgrown fleece caused the tag to be torn out.
Baarack was given a shearing, his first in several years, and the removed wool weighed in at a staggering 78 pounds.
Rescuers said the fleece was so badly overgrown that it covered part of the sheep's face and severely limited his ability to see.
The sanctuary said Baarack now has a permanent home at the facility.
University of Michigan library closed after venomous spiders found
University of Michigan library was closed for two days for cleaning when officials identified three venomous spiders found in the basement.
Officials said the three spiders were found in late January at the Shapiro Undergraduate Library University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and the arachnids were sent to Professor Ann Danielson-Francois from the University of Michigan-Dearborn for identification.
Danielson-Francois identified the specimens as Mediterranean recluse spiders, a species that commonly hitchhikes with travelers. The species has been found in 22 states, but Danielson-Francois said it was the first time she had identified any that were found in Michigan.
The expert said the spiders may have tunneled into the basement of the library.
The library was closed for cleaning Sunday and Monday after officials were informed of the identity of the spiders.
Danielson-Francois said the spiders are venomous, but would be unlikely to bite someone in an open space like a library.
"They don't have a huge amount of venom, but they have enough to start necrosis, which is the eating away of the flesh," she told WJBK-TV.
Australian family finds deadly snake swimming in backyard pool
A reptile specialist was called out to an Australian family's home when they discovered one of the world's most venomous snakes swimming in their backyard pool.
Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 said in a Facebook post that a family in Palmwoods, Queensland, contacted the group when they went out to use their backyard pool and discovered the water was already occupied by an eastern brown snake, one of the most venomous species in the world.
The snake catcher who responded to the home said the snake likely fell into the water accidentally and was unable to climb out due to the pool's high walls.
The man was able to capture the snake safely when it attempted to flee into a pool vent.
Philadelphia airport employs robot for contact-free food delivery
A Philadelphia airport announced it has employed a food delivery robot to make it easier for passengers to grab a meal in a contact-free manner.
Philadelphia International Airport unveiled Gita, a robot with a 40-pound capacity cargo bin for delivering food orders to passengers waiting for their flights.
The robot uses Bluetooth to follow an airport AtYourGate representative through the airport to the location specified by the customer, who can order their food from airport restaurants via OrderAtPHL.com.
"Now more than ever we are looking to be forward-thinking and innovative regarding our contactless ordering options," Megan O'Connell, PHL Food & Shops marketing and customer service manager, said in a statement. "Gita allows our guests to customize their experience by choosing how much or how little human interaction they want when having their food delivered."
The airport tweeted a photo of Gita, which was compared to a droid from the Star Wars films.
"No, you aren't at Tatooine Airport, but that is a robot at #PHLAirport delivering food from @PHLFoodandShops merchants," the airport tweeted. "Starting today, guests placing orders via OrderAtPHL might have their food brought to them by this Gita."
The pilot program begins Tuesday and is scheduled to run through April.
Philadelphia has a complicated history with robots. In 2015, HitchBOT, a hitchhiking robot designed by Canadian researchers, had a planned tour of the United States come to a premature end when the robot was found dismantled and damaged by unknown vandals in the city.
Idaho woman dresses husband in 35 T-shirts for Guinness record
An Idaho couple teamed up to tackle an unusual Guinness World Record when the wife helped the husband don 35 T-shirts in one minute.
David Rush, who has broken more than 150 Guinness records to promote STEM education, said he and his wife, Jennifer, previously attempted the same record in summer 2020, but despite managing to put on 32 shirts, their attempt was disqualified due to a requirement that each shirt be pulled to the waist all around the body.
Rush shared a video showing his wife helping him pull on 35 T-shirts, beating the previous record of 31 shirts.
Rush said having a helper turned out to be crucial for the last few shirts, as wearing so many articles of clothing restricted the movement of his arms.
Puppy born in Oklahoma believed to be the first to survive with six legs
Veterinarians at an Oklahoma animal hospital said a puppy believed to be the first ever to be born alive with six legs is beating the odds by surviving and thriving.
The Neel Veterinary Hospital in Oklahoma City said the puppy, named Skipper, was born with a single head and chest cavity, but she has six legs, two tails, two pelvic regions, two lower urinary tracts and two reproductive systems.
The hospital said Skipper is believed to be the first canine with six legs to be born alive, and despite some signs of spinal bifida, her organs "appear to be in great shape."
"All of her legs move and respond to stimulus just like a normal puppy. Its possible she may need physical therapy and assistance with mobility as she gets older," the hospital said in a Facebook post.
The hospital said Skipper is "very strong" and is doing well at her owner's home.
"All of her legs move and respond to stimulus just like a normal puppy. Its possible she may need physical therapy and assistance with mobility as she gets older," the post said.

Floating house in Massachusetts listed for $275,000
A home for sale in Massachusetts is gaining attention online because of its unusual location: It's on a boat, but it's "not a houseboat.
The home, listed online for $275,000, formerly was known as the Governor Herrick, a dredge for the Cape Cod Canal in the early 1900s.
The vessel, now named Tapestry, was converted in the mid-1990s by a man who built a home on top of the boat.
The 1,800-square-foot house, which has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, is parked at the Fairhaven Shipyard, but the location is not permanent.
"The person who lives in it currently works at the shipyard, so he was able to keep it there. But a future buyer will have to move it. It's not going to be able to stay at the shipyard," listing agent Jan MacGregor told Realtor.com.
The listing states the barge can be transported to another marina, or the home can be removed from the barge to a plot of land if the buyer finds a suitable spot.
Ontario man breaks Guinness record for opening cans with mouth
An Ontario man broke a Guinness World Record -- but not any teeth -- when he used his jaws to bite open 24 full beverage cans in 1 minute.
Chucky Mady, 32, an mixed martial arts fighter from Windsor, was recorded on video using his powerful jaws to rip the tops off the cans, causing soda to spray all over him and the surrounding area.
"I've been doing it for years -- I started when I was 16," Mady told the Windsor Star. "Just messing around. Party tricks."
Mady said it was several years later before he decided to take on the world record.
"One day, I was watching Guinness World Records Gone Wild on TV. There was this guy, Ryan Stock, who was doing it. His record was 11 cans in 1 minute, and I was like: 'I can do that.'"
Guinness confirmed Mady set the new record at 24 can .
Mady said the most important part of his technique is making sure he doesn't cut his mouth on the torn aluminum.
"My teeth are tough," Mady said. "It doesn't hurt."
Mady said he is now considering beating his own record.
"I know I could do another five more. Maybe 10 more," he said.
Website offers $2,000 for 'dream job' -- five nights of sleeping
A health advice website is offering $2,000 for a "dream job" that involves actual dreams: getting paid to sleep for five nights in different locations, including a five-star resort.
Sleep Standards, a website dedicated to dispensing sleep health advice and reviews of sleep-aid products, said it is seeking a candidate to help the site "learn more about the influence of environmental factors on the quality of sleep."
The chosen person will spend five nights sleeping in different environments, including one night in a five-star luxury resort. All expenses will be paid by the website and the chosen candidate will receive $2,000 for their snoozing services.
"If we choose you, we will send you to a new sleep environment every night. In each of those environments, we will carefully adjust several environmental factors that we think might improve your sleep quality," the website said.
The posting said the candidate will be asked to rate each sleeping environment on a scale of 1 to 10 and write a detailed report of each sleeping experience.
Applications are being accepted on the website through March 30.
Wandering wallaby pays visit to Australian hospital's emergency room
Interesting news interesting news 20 February 2021 odd news 20 February 2021 odd news 2021 oddnews strange news 20 February strange news 20 February 2021 weird news 20 February 2021
A curious wallaby was caught on camera when it hopped through a set of automatic doors to explore the waiting room of an Australian hospital's emergency room.
The Western District Health Service said the security cameras at the Hamilton Base Hospital Emergency Department in Victoria were recording when the wallaby hopped through the automatic doors and into the building.
The wallaby spent a few minutes exploring the waiting area before leaving through the same doors.
"It's wonderful to have such a close encounter with what is generally a very shy creature," WDHS Chief Executive Rohan Fitzgerald said.
"We have had an incredible year in the context of the pandemic and it's nice to have some light-hearted moments to reflect on."
The same hospital previously made headlines in 2015 when a koala nicknamed "Blinky Bill" wandered into the emergency room.
Cat credited with saving Oregon family from dangerous gas leak
An Oregon family's rescue cat is being praised as a hero by her family after alerting the humans in the house to a gas leak that could have become dangerous
Sandi Martin said she was playing at her Lake Oswego home with Lilly, the cat she recently adopted from Cat Adoption Team in Sherwood, when the feline started sniffing at a fireplace valve in a way that struck Martin as unusual.
"I went over and sniffed and there was a natural gas smell," Martin told KGW-TV. "It was very faint so I didn't really trust my nose. Then I asked my husband to sniff it, and he sniffed it, too."
The couple contacted NW Natural, their gas company, and they were told to shut off everything in the room, including their phones, and open all available windows and doors.
An employee from the company arrived about 20 minutes later and confirmed there was gas leaking from the fireplace.
"He came in and tested it and, in fact, he said it was a dangerous gas leak," Martin said. "So, then he tested all the other sources of gas and went outside and cut off the pipe to the gas there and capped it off and shut down the fireplace. She might have saved our lives."
Martin said Lilly has extra toes on her feet, a trait that is considered lucky in cats. She said the gas experience confirmed the feline's good fortune.
Man gives venomous cobra a drink from water bottle
An Indian man came to the rescue of a thirsty -- and potentially deadly -- cobra by pouring water from a bottle into the venomous snake's mouth.
The video, shared by Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda, shows the man, believed to be an IFS official, gently holding the water bottle while the cobra drinks from the opening.
The man touches the cobra with his other hand to keep the snake steady and calm while drinking.
"Love and water. Two best ingredients of life," Nanda tweeted.
Gas leak leads to discovery of bear family sleeping under Tennessee home
Utility workers investigating a gas leak at a Tennessee home called wildlife officials for assistance when they discovered a family of bears sleeping under the house..
The Appalachian Bear Rescue said a utility crew responded to a home in Sevier County and called the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency when they ventured under the house and were faced with "the ample caboose of a very large snoozing bear."
"The crawl space beneath a home is not a great place for a bear den, especially if there's a gas leak," the bear rescue said. "There was no way to know if the gas injured the bear, there was no way to safely repair the gas line while the bear was in residence, and there was no way to keep the home warm and habitable without repairing the gas line."
Wildlife officials arrived at the scene and were successfully able to "encourage the big bear to leave the premises," but they then discovered the bear was a mother and had left behind three young cubs.
The cubs were examined by the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine and found to be in good health. They were then transferred to the Appalachian Bear Rescue, where officials said they are now hoping to find another mother bear in the wild to foster the cubs.
Hungry alligator steals Florida man's golf ball
A Florida golfer ended up finding and exception to the "play it as it lies" rule when an alligator grabbed his ball in its mouth and swam away.
Marc Goldstein said he was playing Monday at the Pelican Sound Golf Club in Estero when an errant shot left his ball rolling toward a pond.
Goldstein said he arrived at the pond and ended up getting his phone out to record video when he saw the ball was in the mouth of an alligator.
The video shows the gator holding the ball in its mouth for a few minutes before swimming off with the pilfered item.
Sheepdog sells for $38,893, breaks Guinness World Record
Guinness World Records announced a border collie named Kim sold for $38,893 at an auction, breaking the record for the world's most expensive sheepdog
Guinness said Kim was auctioned online by Farmers Marts in Dolgellau, Wales, and fetched the steep price of $38,893, breaking the record previously set when a sheepdog named Henna sold for $26,088 at an October 2020 auction.
The record-keeping organization said Kim's high price is especially notable given that the auction occurred one day before the canine's first birthday. Dewi Jenkins, the farmer and competitive sheepdog trainer who raised Kim, said she already has the intelligence of a 3-year-old sheepdog.
"She was doing everything -- she worked cattle and sheep, she was ready for any trials or farm work for anybody," Jenkins said.
Crocodile undergoes surgery to remove shoe from stomach in Florida
A crocodile from a Florida zoo underwent surgery to remove a shoe swallowed by the reptile when it fell from a zipliner's foot.
The University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine said the 11-foot crocodile was brought to the facility Feb. 5, after ingesting a shoe that fell from a zipliner's foot at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park.
Veterinarians said the croc had originally thrown up the shoe, but ate it a second time. Vets attempted to get the crocodile to vomit again, but without success.
The 341-pound crocodile ended up undergoing a gastrotomy surgical procedure to remove the footwear from its stomach.
The crocodile, named Anuket, was kept overnight for supervision and is now recovering in its enclosure at the zoo.
World's longest hockey game ends after 252 hours in Canada
A group of 40 people in Alberta, Canada, announced they have completed their attempt at the world's longest hockey game, which lasted 252 hours.
The organizers of the event at an outdoor rink in the Edmonton area said the game, which began Feb. 4, ended with a score of 2,649 goals for "Team Cure" and 2,528 for "Team Hope."
The hockey game raised more than $1.4 million, surpassing a $1.2 million goal. The money will be used to fund cancer research at the University of Alberta.
Players said earlier in the game that they were struggling with extreme cold temperatures that caused pucks to shatter and sticks to break.
"This was definitely the coldest game we've ever seen," organizer Kate Gallagher told CBC News. "It was all part of the adventure. The players were troopers. They were warriors."
Organizers said evidence from the game is now being submitted to Guinness World Records for official verification as the world's longest hockey game.
20-foot-2-inch bear made from roses breaks Guinness record
A decoration at a wedding vow renewal ceremony for 108 couples in China broke a Guinness World Record for the world's largest rose bear -- a 20-foot-2-inch bear made from roses.
China Regenerative Medicine International Limited, which hosted the socially distanced ceremony for 108 couples in Wanning City, Hainan Province, said the giant rose bear was constructed from 48,000 real roses attached to a metal wire frame.
The bear measured 15 feet and 10 inches long, 12 feet and 10 inches wide, and 20 feet and 2 inches tall.
The group said the roses on the 7-ton bear will be replaced with fake flowers as they begin to wilt so the sculpture can remain on display.
10 apartments evacuated when venomous snake escapes terrarium
Firefighters in Germany said 10 apartments were evacuated in a building in which a venomous snake escaped from its terrarium.
The Cologne Fire Department said the South African coral snake, a small but venomous reptile species, was noticed missing early Monday morning by its owner, who alerted the authorities.
The fire department evacuated 10 apartments in the building while a search was conducted for the wayward reptile.
Firefighters said there was concern that the snake could end up outdoors, where cold temperatures would likely send it into a hibernation-like state.
The department announced about three hours after the search began that the snake had been captured in a food-baited trap and returned to its terrarium. The building's residents were allowed to return to their homes.
Family on fishing boat rescues kangaroo struggling to swim
A family fishing on a charter boat in Western Australia encountered a kangaroo struggling to swim and ended up towing the marsupial back to dry land.
John Taylor, of Madfish Charters in Denmark, Western Australia, said he and his family were fishing at the Wilson Inlet when they encountered a kangaroo that appeared to be struggling with the waves.
Kangaroos are known to be good swimmers, but experts said they have trouble in waters prone to waves.
Taylor said the family decided to step in after seeing the kangaroo's head repeatedly dip under the water.
Taylor said he was able to grab hold of the kangaroo and tow it back to shore.
A video of the rescue was posted to Facebook by Madfish Charters.

YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan – Thanks to a pair of young running backs, Matthew C. Perry will host the Far East Division II football title game in its first season as a varsity program in 11 years.
Sophomore Caeleb Ricafrente and freshman Zach Brown combined for 374 yards and four touchdowns and the Samurai held off Robert D. Edgren 33-25 on Saturday at Yokota High School's Bonk Field, in the teams' second neutral-site game of the season.
And Samurai coach Frank Macias said he refused to partake in celebrations that seem to be part and parcel to such feats.
"They were going to get ready to do the water-bucket splash, but I said no," Macias said, mindful of the 33-7 loss he suffered to Bitburg while coaching Mannheim in the Europe D-II championship in 2010. "I've been to the big show and lost. I want to win one. I would love to get one."
Macias and the Samurai will get that chance Nov. 8 when it hosts defending champion Daegu of South Korea, the only unbeaten team in DODDS Pacific. It will be a daytime kickoff, since the Samurai's home field does not have lights.
"I've heard they are huge and fast," Macias said of Daegu. "I guess we have to be David and hope to take down Goliath."
Unlike the first time the teams met last month, when Perry (4-1) downed Edgren 40-18 at Camp Zama, the Eagles (2-4) made a battle of it until the Samurai pulled away in the fourth quarter. And Perry found itself in a trench battle with an Edgren team Macias said has improved.
"That's usually our bread and butter, controlling (the trenches), but we had to fight for everything we got," Macias said. "I'm proud of my offensive line. We kept battering and battering."
"They're big and powerful," Eagles coach Bill Schofield said, adding of Perry's hosting the D-II title game: "They deserve to go. They're a tough team."
Ricafrente rushed 28 times for 226 yards and scored three times, while Fowler added 148 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. Jason DeGrace had Perry's other TD and finished with 46 yards on five carries. Perry recorded six sacks and three interceptions, two by Garrett Macias.
"That was a big, big defense," Schofield said.
The Eagles changed around their lineup, with speedy Daniel Lovett out with an injured leg. Sky Phillips took some snaps under center along with Shawn Robinson.
Phillips returned a fumble 50 yards for a touchdown, while Robinson ran 8 yards for a score, caught a 45-yard touchdown pass from Phillips and threw 30 yards for TD to Joseph Ngorje.
Perry entertains Zama for homecoming on Oct. 25. Edgren closes its season at home Oct. 24 against Yokota.

Tammy @ AutismLearningFelt is hosting a wonderful giveaway. Nordic Naturals are known for being very high, contaminate free quality supplements. Fish oils are healthy for everyone, but new research is being done on the ability for Fish oils to benefit children in the Autistic spectrum.
This excerpt is taken fron this full article at Natural News.
- Two American researchers, Louise Patrick, SLP, and Ronald M. Salik, MD, have recently reported the results of a clinical trial of the effects of a fish-oil supplement on language development and learning skills in children with autism or Asperger's syndrome1. Fish oil provides essential fatty acids (EFAs), which are critical for brain health. Children with attention deficit, autistic, and related disorders have been shown to have significantly lower levels of EFAs in their red blood cells2.
I have concerns with my youngest & have recently started him on a gluten-free diet, seeing notable improvements in behaviors. I would love to win these wonderful supplements. I think they would only further his health & maybe restore a deficiency.
i give these to my kids! and i'm doing gluten free with my 6 year old Lola, to see if it helps her stomach issues.
