Q: How do I scale individual TextMesh Pro Text Objects in a Vertical Layout Group evenly? Unity Version: 5.6.5f1 Personal
TextMesh Pro Version: 1.0.56.0b3
I am attempting to create dynamic TextMesh Pro text blocks that are stored in a Vertical Layout Group UI Element. Each block of text is stored in its own gameobject, and all gameobjects are children of the Vertical Layout Group. All TextMesh Pro objects use the same font and have the "Auto-Sizing" flag enabled, so that they scale within the bounds of the Vertical Layout Group. Ideally, all text blocks should have the same font-size when scaling. See the current Vertical Layout Group Inspector with hierarchy for the Group and Child TextMesh Pro Text Blocks.
Vertical Layout Group Inspector
The problem is that if one block of text consists of two lines, and another block consists of three lines, both blocks will take up roughly half of the Vertical Layout Group. However, the first block's font-size will be around 2/3 of the second block's font-size. In practice, I will also occasionally see the two-line text block span three lines with a much larger font-size. See the image link below for details.
Output In Practice vs. Desired Outcome
The goal here is not to modify the Vertical Layout Group in any way. The contents must fit within the group's fixed-position and fixed-size. The blocks of text must be separate objects for the purposes of defining clickable regions. Each region spans over the entire text block, and will resize as the text changes.
Clickable Region Overlay Demonstration
The code behind the Monobehaviour that manages the Vertical Layout Group maintains an array of strings which contain the aforementioned text of all text blocks. Changes, such as additions, edits, and removals to this array appear as changes to the Vertical Layout Group by extension. I'm pretty certain at this point that I'll need to implement functionality to manipulate the text boxes whenever a change occurs, rather than rely on auto-sizing from TextMesh Pro, but it is at this point, that I'm stuck.
How can I achieve the desired outcome, programmatically or otherwise, of maintaining a font-size that is the same across all text boxes added to the Vertical Layout Group while distributing the space of the group amongst text boxes of varying content such that I utilize as much of the Vertical Layout Group as possible?
EDIT: Added Vertical Layout Group Inspector and Object Hierarchy as an image to this question.

A: As Ian H. stated, Auto-Size scales the font-size to fit the content of the text into the object's rectangle. While the individual TextMesh Pro blocks must be distinct objects, the Vertical Layout Group was deemed as part of an object with "fixed-position and fixed-size." The solution to this problem is derived from using Auto-Sizing in a TextMesh Pro text block that is the same size as the Vertical Layout Group to determine the font-size of all child objects, then using that font-size for each child knowing that the fit is assured. First, let's begin with a proposed hierarchy:
Hierarchy with Raw Text and Vertical Layout Group
A new gameobject with a single TextMesh Pro text block using the same RectTransform values as the Vertical Layout Group is used to simulate how the text should be scaled relative to the area it's contained in. As outlined in the question, several paragraph entries were stored into an array that maintains them. Each string element was output to the Raw Text block, separated by System.Environment.Newline characters.
Raw Text Inspector
Raw Text Viewed In Scene
Note the use of Auto-Size. The issue mentioned in the question is that the text scales improperly when broken into several distinct objects. However, as a single object, Auto-Size will work as intended, providing the target font-size needed for each individual object. Now, a method can Instantiate TextMesh Pro text block objects and store them into the Vertical Layout Group. The difference in this case is that each object is deliberately set to the font-size determined beforehand.
Instantiated Text Inspector
For visualization purposes, each Instantiated Text object consists of the TextMesh Pro text block, as well as a color box added as a child object that encompasses the bounds of the text block. This will still function as intended without the color box. A comparison between the results of the Raw Text overlaying the Instantiated Text is shown in the image below, where the Raw Text is red and the Instantiated Text is black.
Comparison: Raw vs. Instantiated Text
The text itself will not overlap perfectly at every point. This is due to the fact that the centering of the Raw Text block produces a different effect from the centering of multiple Instantiated Text blocks, each having their own center. However, for the purposes of a list of clickable regions defined by text, this behavior is closer to the end goal than what the Raw Text output provides. Removing the Raw Text from visibility, this is the final result.
Result: Instantiated Text Viewed in Scene
Further testing shows that this behavior can be duplicated with text of arbitrary amounts. Furthermore, the user can impose font-size restrictions for the Instantiated Text Blocks by defining a minimum and maximum font size in the Raw Text Auto-Size Properties. Below, you can see the changes in font-size as some elements are removed, as well as an imposed maximum font-size when the amount of text is reduced to two entries.
Four Entries - Increased Font Size / Maximum Font Size Not Reached
Two Entries - Maximum Font Size Reached / Padding Increased

Lot's of Liquitex Spray Paint over Stencils on here and then I played with the Liquitex Paint Markers-I love how you can paint with them over magazine pages, use them for writing or sketching and to blend areas in.
I wanted a grungy look here ….I guess I archived it. Actually I want this page as a wall of my studio- that would be cool- LOL.
If you art journal would you agree that it helps you deal with emotional stress better?
Thank God for art…Great escape. Cheaper than airfare.
Yes, I would be in the nut house without my journals and art work!!!!
Oh my! Truly an influential art journal page that really makes a statement. Creative and grungy. Bold and powerful. Love it.
And I fully agree with you: Getting creative is really the easiest, cheapest and most fun type of therapy!
You can say things to your journal that are best left unsaid to someone.
Lots of feelings in this, Nat….very creative. I agree that art can definitely be an emotional release!
YES! As you pointed out, cheaper than therapy although my insurance won't reimburse me for art supplies.

Firmino's Fitness Race & Playoff Possibility
Firmino Fitness Update
Jurgen Klopp is optimistic that he will have Roberto Firmino at his disposal for the final day fixture against Middlesbrough. The creative Brazilian missed last weekend's clash with West Ham and hasn't been involved in first team training this week, but Klopp is still positive about his progress.
In the manager's pre match press conference he stated, "We could not decide until now, but he feels good and he feels comfortable. He did a lot of things, but was not part of team training. That's not a problem after this long season.
"I think we will make a final test tomorrow. In this moment, I would rather say 'yes' than 'perhaps', but I am not sure."
Firmino has enjoyed a successful season at Anfield, as he has picked up six assists to go with 11 goals, and it would be extremely sad to see him miss out on the pivotal end of season encounter.
Playoff possibility
As we head into the final weekend of the season, a lot of talk has been surrounding the race for the top four and the possibility of a possibility of a 39th match to determine either third or fourth position. Let's start with the most important; what needs to happen in order for a fourth place playoff. If Liverpool end up unlikely 2-0 losers and Arsenal draw 1-1 with Everton, then a playoff will be played, with the winner advancing to the Champions League Qualification Round.
Alternatively, if Manchester are involved in a high-scoring draw, most realistically 3-3, and Liverpool win 3-0, then a third place playoff will be required. This is important as whoever finishes third will go straight into the group stages of the Champions League. If the City game finishes 4-4, Liverpool will need to win 4-1 and so on.
This would be the first playoff in Premier League history, so we could still be in for some more exciting, if not exhaustingly nerve-wracking action.
Liverpool in for Mbappe
Teenager Kylian Mbappe is set to be the hottest property in Europe this summer, and according to Spanish reports Liverpool have attempted to throw their hats into the ring. The Reds have allegedly entered negotiations with a bid of €75million, but that has since been rejected as Monaco want in excess of €100million (£86milllion) for the 18-year-old.
Mbappe scored his 15th league goal this week which ultimately claimed the Ligue 1 title for his side. It is yet to emerge how true these reports are, but it is important to take them with a pinch of salt as most major European clubs have been linked with the Frenchman in recent months.
Gibson wants to get out
Liverpool target Ben Gibson has suggested that his time as a Middlesbrough man might be up. When asked about his future at the relegated club, he responded by saying, "I think every player in the world wants to play in the Premier League, everyone wants to play at the top level. I'm no different to that. What I would say is that no decision has been made regarding my future as of yet."
Gibson has impressed greatly this season and has since been linked with a move to Chelsea and Liverpool. With hints like this coming out, the match on Sunday could act as one final audition for the young Englishman.
Academy prospect released
Under-23 midfielder Adam Phillips has been released after 10 years of service to Liverpool Football Club. Phillips joined the youth setup at just nine years of age and was regularly compared to Steven Gerrard. Sadly, a series of back injuries has hampered his progress and development, which resulted in him falling down the ranks. Phillips took to Instagram to express his gratitude to everyone involved at the club, as well as all the fans, and also declared his positivity and excitement for what the future is to bring.
Liverpool stun rivals Manchester United to Sign Cody Gakpo
Could Liverpool's Boxing Day be any more perfect?

And this is how social media reacted. It was firstly PSV Eindhoven that announced the […]

This error message indicates that GrinPro miner failed to load because it couldn't find or initialize .NET Core 2.2.1 (or ASP.NET Core 2.2.1). This is however a bit strange as you say you can run it manually which indicates that you should have these packages installed already.
If you open cmd.exe and execute the following two command, do you get the same error?
Thanks. I will include this in the next release.
Thanks for the update. What you could do is to run the Antminer diagnostics in Awesome Miner just to see if that one gives any more details.
Thanks - I will include this one in the next release.
My understanding is that both CuckaRoo29 and CuckaToo31 uses a concept of Graphs per Second when reporting mining speed and that this is a number like 5 per second. So it's not Mega. Awesome Miner always uses the term H/s, no matter if some coins actually are based on concepts like Solutions per Second like Equihash. For this reason it makes most sense to show it like 5 H/s in Awesome Miner.
Installed lightdm and switched to light dm, rebooted, Oc working. Mining working.
Hi Patrike, two suggestions for the program.
Another suggestion: THE exchange filter for each currency is fantastic, I can not express how much I thank you, it is very useful. I was wondering if when displaying the exchange list of a currency you would put in bold color, or with an Asterisk, or even that only the exchange would come out where you have data. Something to know at a glance by scrolling which exchanges we have data for that currency. If not, I have to go and look for that information elsewhere. But as you receive it by API, if it is in 3, highlight those 3, or put them first, or underline them, be as it is to highlight them of the rest of exchanges that do not have data of that currency. It would be even more functional.
So if I use the command it comes up, receives about 6 shares and then gives the error. Now if I try Awesome Miner the command prompt pops up and then disappears instantly and then remote agent crashes then Awesome Miner says "service offline"
Well out of frustration I just did a clean install of Windows 10 and reinstalled everything from scratch. So far everything is running fine. It's strange that this happened in the first place.
Sidenote: I attempted to inquire on another thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5090427.940 but the people there aren't in the least bit helpful. So thanks for your time and patience at least.
@patrike or @mopiddo I have a problem. For days I have noticed that Bminer does not work well for me and I use other miners.
Today reviewing optiona> managed software when entering Bminer, I see that it has some enabled by default, but they do not have the text of "A-l-g-o" does not put Cucka29, or tensory. But he does not let me put it manually either.
If I enter any other miner, I see that if they have defined the "A-l-g-o" or I can define it manually, but it does not leave me.
How can I fix this, right now I can not use Bminer in anything.
About the notes field - I understand your point here, but it's a bit similar to the discussion we had about Pool Profit Factor where a pool property would be related to a coin. I think this will have to be part of a concept later on where you have a Pools tab in addition to a Coins tab.

I tested positive for opiates and cannabinoids in a urine test to screen for metal toxins like arsenic, lead etc. This alarms me as I have not been consuming any of these substances. I have been taking nuproxin (alieve) for pain and a steroid anti inflammatory nasal spray (nasonex) and gabapentin for pain with no results. This concerns me as I've been ill for over a year but nothing shows up in tests other than illicit drug use and as far as I know, neither would be causing my symptoms either way.

We have had many other similar complaints, you may want to read over the information in these other threads and see if any of it helps you: As you can see from most of the comments on there, the problem is proving that the damage was solely related to the use of Nasonex. Did his doctor say it was caused by Nasonex?
I used nasonex only a short while, each time I used it, it made my eyes water and burn I then I got a fungel infection in my throat, then I got cataracs, but I have light blue green eyes and was told I would never be able to prove it was nasonex ## Then that is more than likely correct, while it is known to cause such damage it is very rare and usually results from long-term usage. It is very difficult to prove such things, unless the issue occurs immediately and a doctor corroborates the suspicion that it was caused by the medication. What treatments are you currently using?

Altaf Hussain Finally Arrested in London; Can His MQM Be Neutralized?
It took British authorities years to nab Altaf Hussain, the infamous Pakistani cult/party leader. Bringing him to justice may take longer.
Updated Jul. 12, 2017 4:37PM ET / Published Jun. 03, 2014 4:00PM ET
Akhtar Soomro/Reuters
The arrest in London today on charges of money laundering of one of Pakistan's most notorious politicians, Altaf Hussain, threatens to plunge the country's biggest city, Karachi, into turmoil, and adds even more instability to the country's future. But it also a chance for justice to be served to a very dangerous man.
Altaf Hussain has lived in exile in London since he fled Pakistan in 1991 as a wanted gangster. He created a political party, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), in the early 1980s to advance the interests of Muslims who had fled India during the bloody partition of Britain's south Asian empire in 1947. The Mohajirs who would in Hussain's time form the backbone of MQM had flocked to Karachi in the late 1940s and early 1950s and transformed it almost overnight from a sleepy little port into Pakistan's first capital and biggest city. But they felt discriminated against by the local political bosses and feudal lords who ran the city.
The MQM was assisted in its birth in the early 1980s by Pakistan's then military dictator Zia ul Huq and his intelligence service, the ISI, as a foil to Zia's biggest enemy, the Bhutto family, which had historically dominated Karachi and the surrounding Sindh province. MQM toughs fought street battles with Bhutto supporters, and the city soon acquired its nickname as the murder capital of the world.
But the ISI lost control of Hussain and the MQM by the late 1980s, and Altaf tried to expand his party beyond the Mohajir constituency with only limited results. Wanted for a multitude of crimes including murder and extortion, Altaf fled to the UK. He claims he narrowly escaped assassination just before leaving Pakistan in December 1991. He asked for asylum in London.
From his British base, Altaf runs the MQM as a private party with him in complete control. He is called "the leader" by his supporters, and they live in terror of his ruthlessness. Any hint of disloyalty can lead to death. The MQM is more a cult than a party, with Altaf Hussain at the top.
Thanks to his hold on the Mohajirs, Altaf controls a block of 20 or so deputies in the Pakistani legislature. As a swing block loyal to one man, the MQM has been courted by Pakistani politicians and has switched sides in the country's fractured politics repeatedly. His party thugs terrorize his followers and his enemies alike.
Hussain's political views are an odd mixture. He has called the 1947 partition the "biggest blunder in history" and advocates peace with India. He is violently opposed to the Pakistani Taliban, which increasingly contests his control of Karachi. Some of his lieutenants have served capably and honestly as political leaders in Karachi and elsewhere, although many have been accused of corruption.
The British government has long tolerated his presence in London, but its security and police forces have always monitored his actions carefully, especially since a senior MQM lieutenant was murdered in the UK in 2010 after rumors spread that he was leaving the MQM to set up a rival party.
Hussain has been suspected of ordering executions and assassinations while encouraging extortion, tax violations, and violence in Karachi for years. But a criminal case has been hard to develop that would hold up in court. His house has been searched on previous occasions, but apparently no evidence was found to convict him before this arrest. Successive British prime ministers have also worried about the political fallout from arresting "the leader" both in unstable Pakistan and among Britain's hundreds of thousands of Pakistani immigrants.
Prime Minister David Cameron is undoubtedly concerned about blowback, and the British consulate in Karachi is already closed. But the PM is also aware that Hussain's quarter-century asylum in London has allowed him to help destabilize a crucial country. Pakistan has the fastest-growing nuclear arsenal in the world. It is home to Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Lashkar e Tayyiba, and a host of other terrorists, and its ISI intelligence service operates as a state within the state outside the elected government's control. It's a combustible mix. The MQM has added to the mixture another unpredictable danger.
Even if a case can now be brought to try Hussain, it will probably be drawn out in the British courts for years. Altaf will still run the MQM from a prison cell. Nonetheless, Pakistan needs accountability and justice desperately if it is ever to become a healthy nation.

DA falls short in corruption fight
By Daily News | |
PUBLISHED: September 27, 2009 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 28, 2017 at 11:38 a.m.
The corruption in San Bernardino County isn't going to go away. The whole system is infested. We must gain control of the white collar and political crime that goes on here. Therefore the upcoming election for the district attorney's seat is very important. There is much to discuss on this topic but I would like to point out a few things.
In my opinion expanding the Public Integrity Office is critical. The DA's Office has only two attorneys who are allocated to do this type of work, yet there are more than 200 attorneys in the DA's Office. The political corruption going on in San Bernardino County creates the necessity for an increase in allocation of funds and resources. The work load can be overwhelming.
One author writes, "Regulatory agencies and prosecutors are often hopelessly outmatched by their corporate opponents who command larger and more skilled legal staffs and much greater financial support" (James Coleman, "The Criminal Elite," 1998).
DA Michael Ramos talks about what he has done in the area of gangs but that isn't enough. Richard Hartley in his book "Corporate Crime" states that statistics reveal that "white collar crime costs the United States more every year than all the FBI index crimes combined." The book "Corporate Crime" also states that "corporate and white collar crime actually cause more deaths, physical injury and property loss than the Uniform Crime Reports' eight serious index offenses together." It's no different here in San Bernardino County. The District Attorney's Office needs to reflect that reality.
Public officials have a fiduciary duty and responsibility of the highest level. And for the district attorney that means ensuring the protections that make it very difficult to commit crimes and providing for an unfettered staff with adequate resources.
Unfortunately, what we have seen in Mr. Ramos is the inability to prosecute lawbreakers who have funneled campaign contributions illegally. Those who try to subvert the political process go unhampered. Ramos can't and won't investigate because of his own "conflicts of interest." At least one of those charged with committing illegal monetary contributions was also contributing support and funding to Ramos. So somebody else has had to step in and conduct the investigation and prosecution.
DA Ramos promised to help clean up the county. Well, I hate to state the obvious but things couldn't get much worse. In 2005 Ramos said that the Public Integrity Unit filed so few cases because there was so little corruption remaining in the county and the mere presence of the unit deterred politicians from wrongdoing. Not so.
Now former DA Dennis Stout wants to step back in and stop what has been happening. I have met Mr. Stout. He seemed honest, dedicated and very intelligent. He speaks in a very reasonable and logical manner. I thought it was too bad that he retired and that he would make an excellent professor.
I would not be opposed to have him return to his office but only if he would commit to changing some things.
First, allocate more funds, resources and staff for the Public Integrity Unit. The DA's Office needs to send a strong message. Campaign money laundering, gifts, backroom deals will not be tolerated.
Second, commit to pushing for a "no gift policy," which includes Rolex watches and such.
Third, urge county supervisors and voters to create an ethics panel and create much-needed campaign reforms as the Grand Jury suggested. If Orange County and Los Angeles County can have campaign contribution limits, so can we. I don't buy the baloney it costs too much. It costs more not to do it.
Lastly, support legislation that would require convicted political offenders pay the full cost of the government's investigation and prosecution. This would be a big deterrent. Those monies could then be turned over to the agencies involved in the case. We need an aggressive attitude toward public corruption and those who would subvert our political process.

Bogor, Indonesia (13 June 2012)_By the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Dr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, at the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR).
Let me begin by expressing my appreciation to the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) for organising this event. Let me also congratulate CIFOR for its strong contribution to Indonesia for the past twenty years in the field of forestry research, education and development training. Indeed, it has become a global scale international organisation in the field of forestry.
This event could not be more timely. Next week, I will depart to Mexico to attend the G-20 Leaders meeting in Los Cabos. Right after that, I will go to Brazil to attend the Rio+20 Summit in Rio. In September, at the invitation of the UN Secretary-General, I will travel to New York to attend the High Level Panel Post-2015 Development Agenda. In all these places, we all hope for constructive outcomes that will make us feel better about the future direction of the world.
Our planet is under duress. The human race faces enormous challenges. Our common future is filled with hope, but it is also riddled with questions. Big questions.
It took tens of thousands of years for the human race to reach 1 billion people around 1800. It took merely 13 years for humanity to reach the last billion since 1999. The good news is that world population will peak and stabilise at around 9 billion, perhaps by around 2045.
But A LOT will happen between now and 2050. There will be major economic, environmental, social changes – not to mention political and security changes.
Economically, for example, the world GDP will expand dramatically. In Asia alone, by 2050, in an optimistic scenario, the combined GDP of its economies will reach some US$ 161 Trillion. According to the ADB, 90 percent of that growth will come from the Asia-7: China, India, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
As prosperity spreads, the number of countries climbing up the ranks of middle-income countries will grow, and so will – we hope – the number of countries graduating to advanced economy status.
This will be coupled with the continued growth of the middle-class. The Economist reported not long ago that, for the first time in history, half of the world population can be loosely defined as middle-class. And this phenomenon will intensify. In Asia, AN ADDITIONAL 2 billion people will join the middle-class by 2050. Indeed, this middle-class phenomenon – always dreamed-of but only occasionally achieved in previous centuries – will become a key feature of the 21st century.
The global landscape will also change due to rapid urbanisation, which will rise in parallel with the proliferation of mega-cities. In Indonesia, we crossed that 50 percent mark of urbanised population 4 years ago. By 2025, 65 percent of our population will live in cities.
In short, we are heading towards 9 billion people, along with their needs and means. That amounts to a lot of mouths to feed. A lot of people to produce for. A lot of economies to power up.
The problem is : our natural ecosystems and regenerating bio-capacity are being severely degraded, therefore compromising the ability of the planet to sustain life. Our natural resources are depleting, some rapidly. Natural ecosystems are threatened. Water, land and air are getting increasingly polluted. Water reserves are falling. Soil erosion is leading to desertification. Global warming is already happening. And species are dying out faster than their innate rate of extinction.
We are living in a world of cruel paradox.
It is a world of plenty, but it is also a world growing inequity.
It is a world marked by a sea of opportunity, but it is also a world of rising scarcity.
It is a world of wonderful connectivity, but it is also a world burdened by rising insecurity.
We are already seeing a worrying rise in resources competition, some of which have turned into conflict – and the possibility of war cannot be totally dismissed.
This cruel, dangerous paradox cannot be addressed by wishing it away. It cannot be resolved by ad hoc policy fixes here and there. It cannot be resolved just by allocating more resources to those issues. What is required is a fundamental reinvention and reorganisation of societies throughout the world. It also requires the international system to work more coherently and more purposely to address what is inherently a global problem.
I believe we CAN turn plenty into better equity. We can maximise opportunity while minimising scarcity. And we can use connectivity to promote security.
But to achieve all this, the time to choose is NOW. And the time to Act is NOW.
What are our choices ?
We can choose to continue to exhaust the present course, the same course that has been in place for decades and centuries. A world where we obsessively chase after economic growth without regard for ethics or the environment. A world of excessive exploitation of resources, and insatiable consumerism. A world driven by "greed" rather than "need".
If we go down this path, we will only find more of the same. It will lead us to more environmental degradation. More deforestation. More pollution. More global warming. More endangered species. More conflict between man and nature. And ultimately, more desperation for the human race.
The other option is to chose a different course, and to break from the practice of the past where we need to.
We can opt for a different way. A new way that would guarantee a better future for world economies and citizens.
For this 'new way' to succeed, participation must be top bottom and bottom up. We are encouraged by the high-level of environmental activism among Governments, international organisations and NGOs in recent years. Ultimately, however, we need participation from the smallest unit in society, which is the individual. It is the individual who will ultimately have to make the choice of what he or she will buy, eat, drink, waste or burn. And it will not be an easy choice because more and more individuals will have greater purchasing power and the luxury of options in his life. Unless we change the excessive consumption habit of world citizens, we will all run into a brick wall.
As we grapple to overcome problems of scarcity, we are well advised to go back to what is essential: to fulfill the simple hope and basic needs of our citizens. I believe their hope is rather simple: they want to be assured of a peaceful and prosperous life, and they want to live free from the fear of what the future holds for them and their children. I have found that somehow, the more people modernize, the more they yearn for simplicity and a happy life. When we are able to meet the basic needs of our citizens, we will establish a much stronger foundation for national and international security.
Today, we are seeing seismic power shifts in the international system. New emerging powers are changing the weight of the world, and shaping the new global agenda.
The changing international landscape should do more than to add to the already large crowd of power holders. They must also contribute to better resolutions of global problems. Thus, more than power shifts, we need a paradigm shift.
We need a new way of looking at the world, and a new way to work the world.
Equity is critical because it is about fairness. It is about justice. Without equity, we end up with restlessness and anxiety. Without equity, we end up with marginisation. Without equity, we end up with hopelessness and without a sense of shared destiny.
Economic growth and justice are mutually reinforcing. And participation of economic actors in an inclusive and comprehensive way will not only increase justice, but also strengthen the sustainability of growth. It will also reduce inequality and development gap as well as balance economic, social and environmental objectives, for the present and future generations.
This is why in the G-20 Leaders discussions on the fixing the world economy, I have always stressed the importance of the "inclusive" growth, because without this element, growth would be twisted. I am pleased that the G-20 have now been persistent in calling for a "strong, balanced, inclusive and sustainable growth" in the world economy.
A key part of sustainable growth with equity is recognising that the serious climate and environmental problems that planet Earth faces are not imagined – it is REAL. Climate change is man-made, and its solutions are also man-made. We must arrest the growing trend of "ecological footprint" deficit worldwide. According to one estimate, among the 20 largest economies in the world, 15 are in a position of ecological footprint deficit. Among others, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, Russia and Indonesia are in a state of ecological footprint surplus. Only by turning ecological footprint deficit into surplus can we achieve a "sustainable life".
To be sure, we cannot achieve "sustainable growth with equity" without addressing climate change. They are two sides of the same coin. In Indonesia, many of our islands and their inhabitants are already threatened by sea level rise. And rising temperatures and extreme weather patterns have already affected crop yields, a phenomenon that is expected to continue in the years to come. This is, of course, happening throughout the Asia Pacific.
That is why sustainable forestry is critical to our efforts at sustainable development as well as to our climate mitigation efforts.
Our forests cover 69 percent of Indonesia's land area and 31 percent of the global land. They hold a massive number of biodiversity that needs to be sustained. As a mega-diverse country, we have about 12 percent of the world's mammals, 16 percent of the world's reptiles and amphibians, 17 percent of the world's birds, 25 percent of fish species, and over 38,000 of plant species. We consider this God-given rich biodiversity as enormous national treasures.
It is worth reminding that sustainable forestry was not always an obvious policy choice. In the 1970s and 1980s, Indonesia favoured a different forestry policy. Put in other words, our forestry policy was to allow anyone to cut our forests so long as it gave benefits to development. It seemed the logical thing to do back then. We had lots of forests; we had to reduce poverty; we needed to grow our economy. As a result, there was a time when we experienced very serious deforestation.
Today, such a policy is no longer tenable. Losing our tropical rain forests would constitute the ultimate national, global and planetary disaster. That's why Indonesia has reversed course by committing to sustainable forestry. We passed a law that would permanently conserve 35 percent of our tropical rain forests.
We have also applied a moratorium for new permits on primary natural forests and peat lands to improve our forest and peat land management system. This new policy enhances the efforts to reduce our deforestation and thus contribute significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gasses emissions. I am pleased to inform that our deforestation rate has declined from 3.5 million hectares per year to less than half a million hectares per year in a decade period.
I am also heartened by the progress of the One Billion Indonesia Trees for the World (OBIT) program. I am pleased to inform you that in the past two years we have planted some 3.2 billion trees – not 3.2 million, but 3.2 BILLION trees.
In short, to promote sustainable forestry, we took stock of the situation, found serious problems, made quick adjustments, introduced new policies, and reformed our development model. We did not blame the past, but we took action to correct the future.
Indeed, there are a variety of effective tools that we can use to promote sustainable growth with equity.
We can use policy measures. Governments can pass laws and regulations that would place sustainability at the heart of social activities; and also incentivise and reward activities that reinforces sustainability. Governments can take the lead in raising public awareness. Governments can also undertake measures to help spread opportunity and provide a hand-up to those at the bottom of economic ladder, for example by promoting micro-credit.
We can also do more to alter our lifestyle so that it becomes climate and eco friendly, and fits harmoniously with our green growth agenda. In an era of hyper consumerism, this will require a great deal of public education – in our home, in our schools, and in our work place.
And we can also use more technology. Whether we are talking about food security, energy shortage, or climate security, a great deal of our problems can be resolved with technological innovation. I believe that, more than ever, technology will be the greatest driver of change in the 21st century. I am pleased that we are now seeing a new trend where emerging economies too are becoming centers of new innovation, and are spending more of Research and Development. This is a good sign. The important thing is that, where possible, all this innovation is not only invented but shared with others for mutual benefit. Governments, the private sector and NGOs can all do their part in making this happen.
Ladies and gentlemen, promoting "sustainable growth with equity" will be a constant learning experience. As it is with me. When I came to office as President in 2004, my development mantra had 3 basic components: pro-growth, pro-poor, pro-jobs. Three years later, in 2007, Indonesia successfully hosted the UN Climate Conference in Bali, and ever since then we became very active in global climate diplomacy. And we expanded our development strategy: not just pro-growth, pro-poor and pro-jobs, but also pro-environment. Today, environmental sustainability is at the heart of all long-term development plans, both at the national and local levels.
In all this, political will was crucial and remains crucial. It was not always easy to environmentally sound policies. But it was necessary, and it was the right thing to do. So we pushed hard at it despite some resistance.
Why is political will important ?
Because in most cases, the solutions are actually simple, but they are hard to achieve. Reduce emissions. Consume less. Shift to renewables. Conserve forests. Save energy. Share technology. Take global action.
These prescriptions are all known to us. They are part of the global conscience. They are supported by public opinion. But too often the solutions become stuck in narrow self-interests, short-sighted politics and rigid diplomacy – or a combination of them.
There are two major issues that will affect the prospect of sustainable growth with equity. The MDGs and the Kyoto Protocol.
On MDGs, we have indeed come a long way in our efforts to reach the MDG targets, for example: in reducing poverty, reducing child mortality, promoting basic education, and others. Despite on-going concern over global financial stability this year, we must make use of the next few years to make maximum gains on these MDG targets until 2015.
We must now begin to think about what the international community need to do after 2015, when the present over arching development framework for MDG will end.
The MDG is arguably the most ambitious global development project ever undertaken in history. What is certain is that we still plenty of developmental work to do. What is certain is that by 2015 we will have a better foundation for development as a result of MDG programs, and that we will have a rich body of lessons learned, both from successes and failures. We will need to do all this during the MDG Mid-Term Summit Review Review next year. Let us make sure that the post-2015 post-MDG global development framework be long-term, comprehensive, resourcesful, ambitious, global and able to built upon the achievements of the MDGs.
Another milestone global treaty is one that will expire at the end of this year is the Kyoto Protocol. The international community has made some progress since Kyoto Protocol was first signed. We have achieved common understanding and willingness to reduce greenhouse gas emission. A number of countries have voluntarily committed to reduce the greenhouse gas emission. Indonesia's target for 2020 is reducing 26 percent of the greenhouse gas emission – or 41 percent with international support.
Carbon market is already established – even though its work is still far from what was initially expected. Even though the world GDP dropped 0.6 percent in 2009, the volume of carbon trade still demonstrates surprising resiliency – with the market value increased about 6 percent. At this time, the driving force of carbon market is still dominated by European countries which are now facing economic and financial crises.
In the spirit of common and differentiated responsibility, Indonesia believes that developed countries should take the lead in reducing emissions, but developing countries should also do more. Unfortunately, not all developed countries which are the emitters of greenhouse gas have agreed to the Kyoto Protocol. And the fact remains : many developed countries have failed to fulfill their commitments which were agreed in Kyoto. Also, programs that link efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emission with programs of technology transfer and poverty reductions in developing countries (non-annex) did not work as expected and targeted.
The first commitment of the Kyoto Protocol ends at the end of this year. We expect to have an interim arrangement for a second period commitment which will last either five years to 2017, or eight years to 2020, which will be decided in Doha, Qatar. However, that second commitment is still no substitute for a global climate treaty that is still elusive to this day. It also faces the challenge of how to galvanise the interest of the carbon market to the second commitment.
Whatever the outcomes, we need to ensure that there is good synergy between the post-2015 post-MDG global development framework and the emerging global climate architecture. Their goals are, after all, mutually reinforcing.
We need to ensure that the post-2015 framework of global development collaboration be built upon the principles of equality and open participation to all stakeholders. It must be aimed to empower the poor in developing countries. It must uphold the principles of cooperation and common responsibility that benefit all countries. And It must give greater role and access for emerging countries to participate actively in the efforts to reduce poverty and address environmental issues.
And whatever the framework, it should inch us closer to strong, balanced, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth. What does that mean?
Strong growth includes being able to fulfill the increasing basic needs. It means being able to create a higher employment opportunity than the current growth of the working age population. It means being able to provide increasing supply of resources, while also able to increase the income level above the inflation rate, to increase the people's purchasing power.
Balanced growth refers to growth which does not rely solely on the consumption and government budget, but also supported by investment and exports, and vice versa. It signifies growth in terms of both demand and offer. It means growth that is neither concentrated on one or two countries, nor dependent only on one economic sector or area. A quality growth needs to be supported by the development of secondary and tertiary sectors, and should not only rely on the extraction and exploitation of natural resources.
In 2025, Indonesia aims to have an economic structure in which the 55 percent is supported by the tertiary sectors, the 36 percent by the secondary sectors, and the rest by the primary sectors. To accomplish this target, Indonesia plans to downstream the primary sectors and to provide additional values to the mining, forestry, agricultural and fisheries products. The increasing level of the production output is balanced by the improvement of the quality of the environmental resources.
Inclusive growth indicates an increase in every country's access to technology, information, and capital in order to strengthen international connectivity. It requires fair access to production, distribution, and consumption, which emphasises the aspect of affordability. It also necessitates increasing participation of micro-small and medium enterprises in the production process to create a strong and inclusive economic structure.
Finally, sustainable growth points to the existence of an optimal balance between economic, socio-cultural and environmental aspects. Here, economic growth needs to be supported by investments in people and technology. Indonesia plans to extend the limit of compulsory education program for children from the age of nine to the age of 12, starting the year 2013. No exploitation of resources should exceed its biological regenerative capacity.
Next week, I will join a number of world leaders and thousands of participants from all over the world for the Conference on Sustainable Develop-ment in Rio de Janeiro to mark the 20th anniversary of the Earth Summit.
The event will be an opportunity for world leaders to renew their political commitment on developing a global green economy through sustainable development and poverty eradication.
I will use the opportunity to send a message and call for action for the sustainable development agenda in the post-Rio + 20.
Lets take responsibility for the future of human race and for mother earth. All citizens of the world. Developed and emerging and developing nations. International and regional organizations. Private sectors. Environmentalist. All stake-holders.
We must avoid the dangerous trap of a waiting game. Consensus building – especially on global stage – will take time to build. We know the problems. We know the solutions. We must act now.
We are now in the midst of an uncertain global economic picture, especially with events in Eurozone economies and the upcoming referendum in Greece. We all have a stake in the speedy recovery of Eurozone economies. What happens there remind us that no economy – no matter what their upward trajectory is – should take their growth for granted. It also reminds us that unemployment is a potentially explosive global problem.
Indonesia too was hit during the global financial crisis of 2007 but back then we took swift action to prevent the worst from happening. We quickly convened meetings with all stakeholders – including corporate leaders and labour – and made sure they understood the importance of having no lay-offs. In our view, the Government could be broke, but not the people. As a result, we kept growth resiliently at around 4.5 percent during the height of global financial crisis and bounced back to 6.5 percent last year.
That experience taught us that confronting challenges head on, while trying to be one step ahead of the problems. When the international climate negotiations faced a deadlock, Indonesia broke grounds – and indeed broke ranks – by announcing a new policy that we would aim to reduce emissions by 26 percent by 2020 and up to 41 percent with international assistance.
And when faced with growing economic and environmental pressures, we responded by adopting the national policy of "sustainable growth with equity".
It is with that same belief in the power of courage and the power of creative solutions that Indonesia seeks to work with all our international partners to find answers to the major issues of our time.


Best Automatic Espresso Machine – Coffee has become an intimate and intricate part of our modern-day society – from the slightly awkward first date to the formality of the board staff meeting. It's no real surprise it's the second most popular drink after water and second most widely used product after oil – I'm sure that little piece of information will come in handy at the next pub quiz!
The point is that coffee machines, not only at home but in the office space at work and staff rooms everywhere have become not only an added feature, but a necessary one. And whether you're looking for value for money, versatility and the option to experiment and try your hand at being an amateur barista or possibly just the bare necessities and something simple, easy to operate and that promises to produce the goods time and time again…hopefully you'll find exactly what you're looking for!
What exactly is an Espresso Machine?
To the untrained eye, all 'Coffee Machines' look very similar if not exactly the same and the range available can be very overwhelming.
But specifically an Espresso Machine brews coffee by forcing pressurised water, which is close to boiling temperature through a 'puck' of ground coffee (or if applicable an E.S.E – easy serving espresso pod) and filter in order to produce a thick, concentrated form of coffee called espresso, which allows you to make other speciality coffee drinks.
Yeah, basically the temperature controls for the boiler and preset water volumes are both automated – hence 'Automatic'. And an automatic espresso machine will also feature a pump.
It's automated! – The automatic espresso machine is very popular simply because it does everything for you!
It's all at the push of a button – you can program your machine to make your drink of choice all at the push of a button – and even so it's all ready brewed for you when you wake up!
It's available on a budget – both semi-automatic and automatic are available very reasonably producing great tasting quality coffee drinks and looking the part too!
This is a nifty little piece of kit! It's seems kinda ridiculous to emphasise the fact that it has power cord storage as well as a used cartridge container. However, as it's such a compact machine, these additional features wouldn't necessarily be evident – which is kind of the point right?!
Skyrocketing its utility factor as well as maintaining a cool slick design that would blend in well in any modern kitchen, even if you are struggling for counter space. However, as it is so compact, the water reservoir will need constant re-filling.
In short, it's not extortionately expensive, brews [very] quickly – in just 25-30 seconds and definitely looks the part.
Not hard to understand why it's a #1 Best Seller!

Gosh! This DeLonghi Magnifica certainly lives up to its name!
The rather interesting price tag is definitely representative of a super-automatic machine of such reputation and quality production. With a system for anything and everything, you'll feel like you need an engineering degree just to turn it on, but really you just need to remember the terms well enough to keep your company entertained – while the machine takes care of the rest!
The quality standard of this espresso machine is clear to see. The Direct-to-Brew system means the beans are grinded immediately before brewing resulting in fresh, quality-tasting aromatic espresso. And if you so desire, the cappuccino system will produce a rich, creamy froth – all at the touch of a button.
If anything and it really depends on individual taste – it just lacks aesthetic appeal! Which let's be honest is the thing we hope attracts attention and at that price tag, you'd maybe expect a bit more.

Passion. Precision. Perfection. That's the Krups mandate and in their quest for perfection they've given us this fully automatic espresso machine. Are you convinced yet?! Everything about this model, from the colour, to the design, to the description fills you with confidence that here you've got a quality product you can trust.
Conventionally stylish – it'll immediately feel like it's been a permanent feature in your kitchen. I love the little LCD-display – complete with images, which will walk you through the process of making the absolute most of this extremely versatile piece of kit. If you've got money burning a hole in your pocket and want to really enjoy the full experience a home automatic coffee maker has to offer – this is definitely worth consideration!

Possibly one of the most adaptable machines on the market! The real hallmark of this Philips Xelsis fully automatic espresso machine is its multi-function capabilities – ideal for use in a family of coffee-lovers. It's even got the option of personalising up to 9 drinks for 6 individual users.
It'd be easy to fall into the trap of simply regurgitating the long list of details regarding all this machine has to offer including the dual boilers, ceramic adjustable grinder and personalised options but the most important thing to emphasise here – is that the designers at Philips have indeed paid attention to detail, and it's definitely worth a read for yourself!

There's no question in my mind that one of the most preferred weight loss tool in Pucallpa Peru today is Garcinia Cambogia. It has actually been in everyone's perspective for a year approximately. Last autumn Dr. Oz presented it to be one of the latest revolutionary lookings for in the field of weight loss.
Since then, garcinia's road to popularity began. After a year the globe went nuts and now you see it everywhere. Everyone in Pucallpa Peru is discussing it. Celebrities have actually confessed to utilizing it to enhance their weight loss initiatives.
Yet with the popularity there constantly comes the undesirable side effects such as scam artists.
The short answer is no. Because of its appeal opportunist, deceitful individuals in Pucallpa Peru try to make a rapid profit on the unsuspecting public. There have been a lot of vendors closed down since they were selling phony garcinia products.
I actually wish you haven't fallen for their techniques. There are a couple of methods to discover if the capsules that you are considering buying are worth the cash or not.
First off you need to inspect the nation beginnings. I directly keep away from items made in Asia. The manufacturing and safety atmosphere is a joke. I much instead pay a bit a lot more if I recognize that the garcinia that I'm purchasing was made in an FDA-approved research laboratory.
Following you should look at the active ingredients selection. The most convenient method for scams artist to cut corners is by adding fillers and binders into the mix, and naturally overlooking the vital things that helps you lose weight.
On top of that, fillers and binders could have severe side effects. Just what you have to know is that during the medical test the medical professionals made use of Pure Garcinia Cambogia and the volunteers managed to burn fat without any side effects whatsoever. This is why it is necessary to just take pure and high quality items in Pucallpa Peru.
Whether you're a long-time audience, an individual which merely casually turns in, and even if you have not ever before seen his program, opportunities are you have actually familiarized by this point that Dr. Oz suggests garcinia cambogia.
Given that he first suggested the procedure in fall of in 2013, the therapy has risen from loved one obscurity to turned into one of the most popular products on the diet regimen and exercise market in Pucallpa Peru.
Lastly take a look at the HCA material. It needs to go to the very least 60 %. If it's less than that you will certainly be battling to see significant results. In the research study they utilized FIFTY % HCA Garcinia Cambogia extract.
The HCA, as in Hydroxycitric Acid, is the part that really assists you drop weight. This is the compound which informs your brain to feel fuller and rather than holding the fat deposits, to begin burning it.
Also Dr. Oz emphasized on his show that you must take pure products. If you find the video you could see it on your own.
Where to buy Garcinia Cambogia extract in Pucallpa Peru?
I don't advise you buy it from the street corner. There are way much better ways, such as the net.
I've been trying and testing numerous Garcinia Cambogia items. however the one which provided me the most effective outcomes was Pure Garcinia Cambogia. It's the most effective choice online.
The producer of Pure Garcinia Cambogia prides itself on offering the finest item at an economical rate. Pure Garcinia Cambogia is a pure item and 100 % natural. It additionally has 60 % HCA. It is the greatest rated product amongst them all.
What are you awaiting? Do you wish to fall a few dress sizes easily? Pure Garcinia Cambogia is the solution for you.
So, exactly how and why has Dr. Oz involve endorse this item? Let's have a look.
Garcinia cambogia is the scientific name for a fruit which is called Gambooge. The fruit has either a yellowish-green or much deeper green tone to it and is shaped like a cross in between a squash and a fruit.
Used in several dishes– including curry– the fruit can be located in Africa, India, and the Far East and has been revealed to add to healthy and balanced red cell, among other points. Furthermore, the high HCA content of the fruit, when appropriately drawn out, can likewise give a dietary boost.
The market today is swamped with items which are laboratory-tested and polished, which is all well and good, but also for some, especially those with a perspective of medicine and fitness which is much more all natural and green in nature, this can be off-putting.
Because of this, the reality that Dr. Oz advises garcinia cambogia might be considereded as both an indicator of and a feedback to the growth in the all-natural motion in nutritional and nourishment circles. As an extract from a fruit, garcinia cambogia is as all-natural as it gets, and could consequently both help you drop weight and stay with an all-natural or green diet plan and lifestyle.
Along with all this, garcinia cambogia extract is a reliable fatty tissue buster. The supplement, properly prepared, has the ability to metabolize cells in such a way concerning assist burn off excess fat deposits cells.
Additionally, the supplement talkings to dieting from a various angle, working as a nutritional supplement. Garcinia cambogia functions as an appetite suppressant, indicating that you'll be able to really feel complete while eating much less.
Needless to say, this can prove to be an enormous benefit when planning to effectively begin a diet plan routine.

MLS Weekend Preview: LA clubs square off, Kljestan meets RBNY
By Nicholas MendolaMar 29, 2018, 7:12 PM EDT
Jon Shard/LA Galaxy via AP
It's almost as if a marketing company drew it up for Major League Soccer.
LA Galaxy vs. LAFC — 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday
League legends LA Galaxy will tangle with fancy new boys LAFC in a match everyone hopes will become one of the best rivalries in the country.
And oh, by the way, one of the league's best ever imports could debut in the form of new Galaxy striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The subplots extend even beyond the hopeful rivalry and Zlatan. Consider:
— You have the Dos Santos brothers on the Galaxy staring down El Tri teammate Carlos Vela.
— Both teams have legendary American coaches in Bob Bradley (LAFC) and Sigi Schmid.
— LAFC hasn't lost! Sure, it's only two matches, but Bradley's expansion club is thriving early.
Toronto FC vs. Real Salt Lake — 8 p.m. ET Friday
The winless champs host a Mike Petke-led bench which hasn't exactly found its footing despite its sleeper status before the season. Petke was once teammates with TFC boss Greg Vanney, and the two will match wits at a raucous BMO Field on a fitting match to start the weekend.
The Reds will also have to focus on the present despite the knowledge that Tuesday brings one of the biggest home matches in club history: the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League semifinal against Club America.
Orlando City vs. New York Red Bulls — 1 p.m. ET Saturday
Sacha Kljestan is acclimating just fine to life in Orlando, but the Red Bulls' latest traded captain welcomes his former club to town with a point to prove (especially given New York's continued success in weathering the trading of said captains Kljestan and Dax McCarty).
Columbus Crew vs. Vancouver Whitecaps — 3 p.m. ET Saturday
We're sure MLS didn't play to have its four top matches kick off the weekend, but we'll have our eyes peeled early Saturday. If it wasn't such a hike for the 'Caps, we might call this the game of the weekend. The two sides have played a combined eight matches with one loss this season, and neither is particularly open at the back. With Kendall Waston righteously dodging a suspension, it's on Gyasi Zardes and Co. to find a way past the visitors.
Chicago Fire vs. Portland Timbers — 6 p.m. ET Saturday
Minnesota United vs. Atlanta United — 8 p.m. ET Saturday
San Jose Earthquakes vs. NYCFC — 8 p.m. ET Saturday
Houston Dynamo vs. New England — 8:30 p.m. ET Saturday
Sporting KC vs. DC United — 8:30 p.m. ET Saturday
Colorado Rapids vs. Philadelphia Union — 9 p.m. ET Saturday
Seattle Sounders vs. Montreal Impact — 10 p.m. ET Saturday

These 73 deputies decided to publicly denounce the actions of their colleagues in parliament before the population of the Capital (Antananarivo) on the 21st of April. The army forbid them access to the Main Square of Independence, where they planned to hold a public rally. The incident ended with violent clashes between the protestors and the army. Four people were killed and many were injured.

Woo hoo! I finally am back to the 30 lb mark! Now I just have 20 lbs to lose before 12/31 to get my 50 bucks back in the challenge at the gym.
I was disappointed in myself because I didn't get up this morning to go to the gym. But I went after school so I was less hard on myself. I was glad to go after school to shake off the day. It was not a great day.
But I am definitely going back to a.m. workouts on Wednesday and Friday. I am pretty excited. I took a personal day Monday because my mom is going to be out of town and Craig, his mom and my dad are splitting the Henry watching days. I love Mondays off.
Have I mentioned lately how much I love my baby boy?
WOO HOO!!!! Awesome job, friend! SO proud of you!!!


Homemade Omelets, or omelettes as the French say, are an easy healthy breakfast idea. Learn to make this nutritious versatile breakfast food and a whole new world of cooking will open for you.
Omelettes make hearty filling high energy breakfast recipes. Make them for brunch and have them for breakfast at dinner time. Your family will enjoy omelets in some variation. It's not too difficult. We made a video demonstration to show you how it's done.
An omelet is a cooked egg pancake folded over and filled with whatever you enjoy and have on hand.
Omelettes are a perfect blank slate. Make them into breakfast burritos. OR go Mediterranean with kalamata olives and feta cheese. Ham and cheese, Barbeque style, veggie only… this is a versatile recipe limited only by your personal palate and imagination.
Omelette recipes are a good choice for a healthy egg breakfast. Healthy breakfast ideas don't have to be boring.
Eggs contain a good deal of cholesterol so don't eat an omelette a day. That's overdoing it a bit. However, a 3 egg omelet only has about 216 calories before you add the cheese and fillings. And it offers many health benefits.
Omelettes are a high protein, gluten free and low-carb breakfast. If you need yours dairy free choose dairy free fillings. The omelettes we make have only ONE ingredient. Eggs. No extras are necessary.
A three-egg omelet yields 39 percent of women's and 33 percent of men's recommended daily allowance of protein.
KEEP IN MIND: Most of these nutrients are found in the yolk. If you only use egg whites, you'll lose about half the protein and selenium and all of the iron and vitamins B-12, A and D.
So a complete egg is your nutritional friend. Just be moderate and choose healthy fillings.
MANY people use butter in the fry pan when they cook an omelet. If that's what you have go ahead and use it. It does tend to brown if you cook your omelet at medium high heat. If you want a lovely sunny yellow omelet keep the temperature low and watch it!
PLEASE stay clear of all margarines and processed vegetable oils. They are bad for you and the flavor of the omelet.
Coconut oil makes fantastic eggs. It's a very slippery oil and the flavor compliments eggs beautifully.
Avocado oil is an excellent flavorless heart healthy oil.
Use Olive oil when your taking the omelet in a Mediterranean direction with kalamata olives, feta cheese and a good italian sausage.
A good UNSCRATCHED, non-stick 6 or 8 inch frying pan with SLOPED SIDES is a great choice for making for a three egg omelet.
Omelette pans are the easiest for beginners. They flip the omelette for you.
Stay away from metal pans with acute straight sides. Getting an omelet flipped properly is almost impossible.
With two well sized non stick fry pans you can make any size omelet and the filling quickly and easily. If your making a two egg omelet the 6 inch pan will be a better size for a nice, fluffy omelet. For a three or four egg omelet use an eight inch pan or larger. Watch me make an omelet in a large skillet in the video. Small pans make thicker omelets.
Use an almost straight spatula for the easiest turning ratio for flipping an omelet.
Make sure your spatula is rigid. A floppy spatula will probably fail to lift your omelet and give you the control you need to properly flip it over. You make wind up with scrambled eggs if you can't support the omelet while flipping it.
Use a non scratch spatula on non stick pans.
THE FILLING: Shred your cheese and get your filling prepared and simmering in the OTHER skillet before you begin the omelet.
Sautèing omelet filling. Peppers and ham make a good filling for an omelette with a flavorful cheese like cheddar.
Heat your oil in the frying pan on medium low. The pan surface will determine how much oil you need. For an eight inch, non stick pan with a good surface, about one tablespoon is enough. But make sure the surface is well coated.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a pouring spout for best ease. You want the eggs slightly frothy. This means whisk them until the white is well combined with the yolk so you get even cooking and no undesirable white gloppy parts in your finished omelet. No need to get carried away with the whisking though or you'll get lots of air bubbles, not a big deal, just unnecessary and not the best texture. Whisking is meant to help the omelette be fluffy, not tough.
Pour the whisked eggs into the center of your pan.
Try tilting the pan so the omelet spreads to the outside edge of your pan. Don't turn it too much or you will have an unpalatable crusty edge on your omelet. Maybe choose a better sized pan next time.
Cook until the side of the omelet firms up all the way around. Adjust the heat slightly higher as needed. This depends on the omelet thickness.
Slide your spatula under the edges to test the strength. You want the spatula to slide easily under the omelet without tearing it.
Notice the edges are lighter and firming up? When you have a good firm outer rim of light cooked egg the omelette is ready to flip. This omelette is not ready yet but starting to show the signs.
When you can slide the spatula easily under the center of the omelet and the top is just a little runny, your ready to flip it over.
Slide your spatula under the omelet and test the strength before attempting to flip it over.
Flip your omelet. The uncooked egg will now heat and quickly cook so have your fillings ready.
Learning your spatula and the pan may take a little practice. Ideally your omelet landed in the pan center. If not adjust it in the pan so it evenly cooks the top.
Once the omelette is cooked Immediately place your filling ingredients on one-half of the omelette face. Then use your spatula to flip the other half over the filling ingredients.
Please Share with us your favorite fillings and condiments in the comment section. It's always nice to have new low carb breakfast ideas!
The printable recipe card below has an easy popular ham, pepper and cheese filling. However, feel free to use whatever filling you enjoy. All meats must be cooked PRIOR to going into the finished omelette as a filling and all the filling ingredients go into the omelet once it it cooked. You will need two pans going on the stove for this.
Learn how to make a beautiful fluffy omelette. This wonderful low carb breakfast can be recreated endlessly with your choice of fillings and condiments.
Set a 6 inch fry pan on low with a tablespoon of oil in it.
Chop peppers and ham into small pieces.
Melt the oil in a non stick 8 inch frying pan or omelet pan on medium low heat.
Whisk eggs together until slightly foamy.
Pour the whisked eggs into the pan of melted oil and cook until the edges of the omelet turn lighter and harden. The top of the omelet will still be somewhat runny and uncooked.
Slide your spatula under the omelet and when the omelet easily pulls of the pan, flip the omelet over.
Allow the omelet to finish cooking another minute or two and then plate the omelet.
Spread your fillings over half of the omelet top.
With your spatula fold the unfilled omelet half over the filled half.
Sprinkle the folded omelet with remaining cheese.
Use whatever fillings and condiments you desire. Omelettes can be created into many styles and flavors with various meats, veggies and cheeses.
This is the calorie count for a three egg omelette with NO filling. Your filling ingredients should be calculated separately. With our recipe the filled omelet is around 600 calories.

Apple iPad Air MD787LL/A 64GB 9.7" Wi...
Apple iPad Air MD787LL/A 64GB 9.7" WiFi Only, Gray (Refurbished)
Warranty: The warranty is through us for 90 Days.
The 64GB iPad Air from Apple features an even thinner design than its predecessor. Dropping almost a quarter of the volume of the previous generation iPad, the iPad Air is just 0.29" (7.5 mm) thin and weighs just 1.05 pounds. Overall, the iPad Air is 28% lighter, 20% thinner and 24% less volume than the previous iPad. The iPad Air may be thinner and lighter, but it's still durable and solid. That's because it still has an aluminum unibody design. Apple introduces the 64-bit architecture to the iPad Air, which allows for more robust and powerful apps. Utilizing the A7 chip, the iPad Air runs apps faster and more efficiently than its predecessor. In fact, the A7 chip runs twice as fast as the A6X chip of the previous generation iPad. Also, the A7 chip supports OpenGL ES version 3.0 so the iPad Air can enable detailed graphics and visual effects once only possible on desktop computers and game consoles. The A7 chip is accompanied by the M7 coprocessor, which measures the motion of the iPad Air. By pulling data from the accelerometer, gyroscope and compass, it lightens the load of the A7 chip. This frees up the A7 chip to focus on processing multiple tasks and maintaining fast performance. Even though the iPad Air is 20 percent thinner and more powerful, it still manages to maintain its 10-hour battery life. That's because the A7 chip isn't just more powerful, it's also more efficient. The iPad Air also gives twice the Wi-Fi performance, thanks to dual antennas with MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technology. With dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, the iPad Air can reach download speeds of up to 300 Mbps, which is double the data rate of the previous-generation iPad. The 9.7" Retina Display makes its return on the iPad Air, maintaining its enormous 2048 x 1536 native resolution. At 264 pixels per inch, the Retina Display can show up to 3.1 million colors at a time. The Retina Display is also a capacitive touchscreen so you'll be able to utilize all the multi-touch gestures of iOS.
