Health and Ageing
Stay young, stay healthy, but how old can people really get?
People who are born healthy can grow very old and still remain in good health. Most of them will, however, die long before their potential Biological Old Age is reached.
Why should that be? Perhaps the past can help to explain, let's take a look into some aspects of our history and then you can make up your own mind!
One of the oldest books we can use is the Bible. If you look at the Old Testament you will find that Adam and his six children lived for more than nine hundred years. Methuselah is documented as a nine hundred and ninety-six year old while Lamech was seven hundred and seventy-seven years old and his first son reached the age of one hundred and seventy-eight years old. Noah lived for over nine hundred years, he was six hundred years living on the Ark. Moses died at the age of one hundred and twenty years. The bible is one of the scriptures which has been tested and information checked by archaeology and proven as accurate.
Most scientists dispute these claims, although one of them, C. Edward Burtis, had to admit, after a life-long study, that the age mentioned for Moses was correct. These great ages were partly made possible because of their life style and a special diet which had to be enforced rigidly.
The so-called Kings list.
The ages reached here being the reign are even more fascinating but the people involved came from space and are now called gods.
The Sumerians, living in the same area, are another society who left us with a lot of records, this time in the form of baked clay documents. They recorded most of the reigns of the different Kings in the area and when we look at them we find: Dynasty Name No. of Kings Reign Average Rule
No. of Kings
Average Rule
Kisj
24510 years
Second Kisj
Third Kisj
Fourth Kisj
14 years *
Uruk
Second Uruk
Second Ur
*The rule by kings stops at this point and power is transferred to the temple of Eanna at Uruk where the son of the high priest ruled for 324 years!
Ancient people explained the decrease and increase of the life span in the following terms:
Time and space are aspects of the material world and therefore human existence is limited.
When you look at the stars you can see what is happening. New worlds get born every day and others die out.
Our Earth and our Sun have only a limited period of existence!
This is one of the reasons why Buddha called the material world an illusion. Despite its powerful manifestation, its glamour and its glitter, it is all in vain.
But there is another reason; the material world has no inside, it is empty and it cannot make one single soul really happy!
The spiritual and mental world is not subject to Time and can therefore exist indefinitely - forever. The more cynical ones of the ancients associated Time with what they would call corruption and as the Destroyer!
Expansion of consciousness and awareness could reduce the effects of time in the material world and expand the maximum lifespan, a process we call Transcendentalism.
Life extension and caloric restrictions
To these ancient peoples not only the choice and preparation of food was important but also the rejuvenation of the body which was achieved by food restriction. This was later incorporated into all major religions as fasting.
This form of calorie restriction, combined with meditation, would have the same effect as caloric restriction.
The main beneficial aspect of this system was that his period of food restriction was limited to a maximum of six weeks a year instead of being permanent. During this period people were asked to reflect on their way of life, their behaviour towards others, and to meditate and pray. At the end of the fasting period there would be a big celebration with the sharing of food and goods with friends and the poor.
Artificial Rejuvenation
There is a big difference between fasting and the artificial rejuvenation of the body.
When it became clear that the maximum lifespan was decreasing rapidly, people and their rulers started to look for other ways to extend life.
As far as we can tell, the Sumerian kings went to the temple and had to undergo a severe regime of food restriction with no solid foods, only lots of special vegetable juices. To help the king get through this difficult period they used special sedatives, resting him on a bench in the form of a cross in a quiet room without light.
The food restriction would go on until most organs were reduced or nearly gone. The liver for example was reduced to approximately 10% of its normal size. The process was so severe that halfway during his treatment all parasites, such as worms, would leave his body and flee, like rats do before a ship goes down. Needless to say that such a procedure is not without risks and takes a lot of knowledge! For this reason, only royalty and high priests would be treated in this way.
Fasting, and a simple way of living, were the guidelines for the common people and they too could greatly benefit from it.
Every important religion incorporated these guidelines for the benefit of their followers.
In modern times there is a big difference. People now are stimulated to consume, consume and consume….the more the better! At least that is what the big corporations try to get us to believe.
One of the few scholars able to read and interpret ancient Sumerian and Akkadian clay tablets, Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010) based his bestselling The 12th Planet on texts from the ancient civilizations of the Near East. That the kings list who did found its originate in Sumerian was in fact a list of external rulers of alien originate at that time. About a mutiny of these people due to hard labour in earth goldmines.
They, Enki and Ninhursag create Primitive Workers through genetic manipulation and describing the Anunnaki's genetic engineering to fashion ''The Adam.'' The shock when Homo sapiens begins to multiply." Until than after the genetic manipulations where completed, cross breeding used to produce of spring. These people as shown in the bible would and could live for at least 900 earth years. Drawing widespread interest and criticism, his controversial theories on the Anunnaki origins of humanity have been translated into more than 20 languages and featured on radio and television programs around the world.
Part of his views and translation where confirmed as result of genome research of humans. That the modern humans being the fourth root race is in fact a downgraded version of early humans and has been genetically changed in a significant way and include erasing of memories of our past.
In addition our Scientists of this newly founded science are aware that 97% of our DNA is, as they call it "junk DNA". They call it junk because they don't see that we have any use for it as such. That only 3% of our total DNA is wrapped or located up in the spiralling double helix strand and the rest shattered through our cells. That it will take at least the time of the 75,000 year cycle when we as humans would be exposed to the high torsion energy waves to get our DNA reorganizing a 2-strand double helix to a 12-strand helix advancing man in a leap. realism, for our children, there and us is no hope on the horizon. However there is a more enlightening point, from the programmer's point of view. What was discovered is that in our DNA is a program consisting which consist of two different versions, a big code and basic code. Clear from what we do know now is that the complete program was positively not written on Earth.
The second fact is, that genes by themselves are not enough to explain evolution; there must be something more in the game. What it is or where it is, we don't know yet but programming and that is more than the hardware.
The extern and the extra-terrestrial programmers may use just one flash of the right energy from somewhere in the Universe to instruct the basic code to remove all the /**/ symbols, fuse itself with the big code and jumpstart the working of our DNA. The complete program is elegant, very clever self-organizing, auto-executing, auto-developing and auto-correcting software for a highly advanced biological computer with build-in connection to the ageless energy and wisdom of the about the Universe. Software wise, within us there is either short a and diseased life as we live it now, and the potential for a super-intelligent super-being with a long and healthy life.
There is another event, which I would like to asked attention for: the stories or letters as written by (MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY.)
In the Roswell incident and as denied by the official sources despite the official declassification due to time is the story of the alien called by her as Airl who was captured and questioned by the military in 1947. In her letter send after being 60 years quiet about, but does not want to take with her in her grave and in which she places her information in the public domain. In it she does collaborate a number of thought and interpretations also put forward by Zecharia.
Both are now well known and extensive information is readable available on the net but I would like to draw your the attention briefly to this letter hers or is claimed as such:
'' Saint Patrick came to Tara to conquer the ancient religion of the pagans. He may have suppressed the religious practices in the area, but he certainly did not have any impact on the "gods" who brought these civilizations to Earth, as you will discover when you read the documents enclosed. Therefore, this is a fitting location for my departure from this unholy world and final release from the burdens of this life.
Both she and Zecharia Sitchin will be long remembered for rewriting earth history and about the development of the human race. That these famous vats used in Eden and give birth to "Adam" are still being in use at the underground facilities of the US government and other places as reported on the net. Is a kind of artificial wombs and as such have never been abandoned nor put out of use.
It was Goethe who wrote; There are none so enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free. Dr. Carl Jung, famous psychologist, wrote a letter to Major Keyhoe one time about the UFO problem. In it, he said, " nothing helps rumours and panics more than ignorance. It is self-evident that the public ought to be told the truth".
Even Abraham Lincoln had something to say about the American people and truth, "I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended on to meet any national crisis. Like in the past the new rulers should not keep knowledge away from the human race because it is needed to make healthy and sound decisions and certainly what is called "The Forbidden Knowledge." Part of the divide and control strategy is the involvement of the elite of human using the lure of secrets, power, influence and evolutionary control. Whereas money and greed are just means to the end, the tools. There hundreds of personal testimony of men and women who have held top-security positions in the military, intelligence agencies, corporations under contract to the government, and air-traffic control services – all of whom have direct knowledge of extra-terrestrial activity going back for over 50 years, and they will tell you how they were required by their superiors to conceal these facts from the public.
The status quo of our government establishment has been to "protect the people" from knowledge of such matters. In fact, the only protection afforded by ignorance and secrecy is to hide the private agenda of those in power to enslave others. And, by doing so, to disarm every perceived enemy, and ally, through superstition and stupidity."

The post mark of the envelope with information he did receive was stamped at the
post office in Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland on 2007, I wrote to the return address
shown on the envelope, and was advised by the home owner that both Mrs. MacElroy and her husband, whose name turns out to have been "Paul", were both recently deceased. She said that the cremated remains of Mrs. MacElroy and her husband were interred at Saint Finian Cemetery on Athboy Road.
Subsequently, was unable to find any record of her under the maiden name of O'Donnell, nor have he had any success at discovering any personal friend, family member or document to confirm her birth, medical education, or military record, marriage or death, with the exception of her landlady in Ireland (who is not a relative) just before her death.
Within her letter she wrote, also, I am now 83 years old. I have decided to leave
this body, which has outlasted it's usefulness to me, using a painless method of self-administered euthanasia. I have a very few months to live, and nothing to fear or lose.
I have moved away from Montana, where my husband and I lived for most of my life, to spend our remaining days in a lovely rented upstairs bedroom in a house in the
homeland of my husband's family in County Meath, Ireland.
I will die not far from "The Great Mound" at Knowth and Dowth, the "Fairy Mound of Darkness". These are sacred "cairns" or massive stone structures that were erected about 3,700 BCE and engraved with indecipherable hieroglyphs -- about the same time as pyramids and other inexplicable stone monuments were being built all over the Earth.
It conflicts with our views about the importance of man and the nature of creation. The answer impacts both philosophy and theology – and these are things that, beyond the mid point of life, we tend to defend more than to question. There is a tendency to say: "That can't be true because I believe that …."
One question, how about your children? Should you do not investigate before rejecting?Knowledge that when studied, leads to the realization that earth is a prison where spiritual beings can get trapped and that unless they study this knowledge and real history they will never be free.
The History of the Earth and the history of mankind are entwined.
It was Voltaire who did point out and who wrote: "History is the lie commonly agreed upon". That our history books did not only get it wrong but disfigured by the lies of the times, presenting factoids without context, leaving out any hint of the power struggles and conspiracies behind it.
Written <?xml:namespace prefix = "v" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><?xml:namespace prefix = "w" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" />by academicians and other hacks employed by the Power Elite, and present in such a way that the Ruling Class can govern without interference. The question; what greater brutality can be inflicted on anyone than to erase or deny the spiritual awareness, identity, ability, and memory that is the essence of oneself?
Back to earth: "The actual history of Earth is very bizarre. It is so nonsensical that it is incredible to anyone on Earth who just will attempts to investigate it. In addition most of vital and needed information is missing from it.
To confuse the matter huge conglomeration of non sequitur relics and mythology has been arbitrarily and purposely introduced into it to obscure and hide the truth. It is about the volatile nature of the Earth itself, which cyclically covers, drowns, mixes and shreds physical evidence. We do known for some time now of continuing changes on the Earth surface, that mountain ranges rise and fall, continents change location, the poles of the planet shift, ice caps come and go, oceans appear and disappear, rivers, valleys and canyons change. The earth contains many left structures placed on the sea bottom, top of mountains, desserts and other inaccessible terrain. Best known to us now is the
disappearance of the dino but most do not realise that only 10000 years ago the big flood did wipe out the third human root race, to be replaced with the forth which only did survive due to external interference.( Noach). All the civilisations that did live here once have vanished without much of a trail and so will we, the only real question is when?
We as community/establishment have spend lost of money over a prolonged period of time to prove that humans were descended of ape and natural to the earth when it was not the case. No real grand's and money however available to proper study the how, why and the disappearance of previous and some very great civilisations despite the monuments that they did left behind.
The risks to humans living on earth in the light of heavy gravity and dense atmosphere, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, polar shifts, continental drift, meteor impacts, atmospheric and climatic changes, to name a few. Due to the myriad types of naturally occurring global cataclysmic events, we could not have been indigenous to Earth, it is not a suitable planet for habitation by humans and most of the other life forms.
We have to credit the genome research and DNA, which are relative new forms of science to provide us with the fact and prove that humans did not evolve on earth. Second that our DNA was interfered/altered with to produce a slave race and capability to remember our past erased in an attempt to hide the truth. There has been many attempts to discredit these findings and the grant needed to do further research as a result now being removed and limited. Mankind needs to know the answers to questions as, Who are we? Where did we come from? What is our purpose on Earth?The real problem with scientist and the "global economy", tends to seek to analyse and pub lice only certain aspects of 'materiality'. Priorised subjects by this "official science" are limited to areas which complement the agenda of constituencies of individuals who seek to manipulate the "recognized" body of human knowledge for power and control. The carbon dioxide discussion, a way to deceive humanity, not more than a smoke screen, a kind of diversion away from the real problem and causes. The effects it does have on us just being marginal.
Back to climate:
Bizarre reports of weather extremes continue to come in from all over the world and there is no one anywhere telling the public why we are seeing such violent climate change now. Officials are again hitting the global warming button quite hard but we really do not know what is going on and why. Extreme weather events are hitting human populations around the globe with no sign of any let-up. Sea levels have been rising steadily for over a century (some debate this assumption) as the ever-warmer ocean water expands and the world's remaining glaciers and ice sheets melt.
In fact sea levels were thought to be rising twice as fast now as they were a few decades ago but now we have had an almost instant turnaround. Nothing in the modern satellite record comes close to the 6 mm drop worldwide last year.
While 6 mm might not sound like a lot, when collected from the surface of all our planet's oceans it adds up to 26,000 gallons of water per human.
The amount of ultra fine condensation nuclei (UFCN) material depends on the quantity of the background drizzle of cosmic rays. Normally this quantity varies depending on the strength of the sun's magnetic field and the strength of the Earth's magnetic field. But lately there seems to be an unexplained increase in cosmic rays and this is troubling scientists. Recently at the South Pole increased levels of cosmic rays have been detected crashing into the Earth and they appear to be coming from a particular location rather than being distributed uniformly across the sky. Could it be the remains of what once was Niribu or a micro black dwarf? Our Scientists know of no source close enough to produce this pattern. "We don't know where they are coming from," says Stefan Westerhoff of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It's a mystery because taken into account the needed characteristics the hotspots must be produced within about 0.03 light years of Earth.
The world's most sophisticated particle study laboratory being - CERN in Geneva - confirmed that an increase in cosmic rays will indeed create more clouds in earth's atmosphere.
Since clouds often cover 30 percept of the earth's surface, a moderate change in cloud cover clearly could explain the warming/cooling cycle. Svensmark noted the gigantic "solar wind" that expands when the sun is active - and thus blocks many of the cosmic rays that would otherwise hit the earth's atmosphere.
When the sun weakens, the solar wind shrinks and with a very long period of "quiet sun" predicted 30 years of cooling ahead?
The worst danger though is to the world's agricultural system, which is taking a beating from the flooding as the human race breaks through the seven billion mark. Even before this year's record disasters, world food stocks were getting dangerously low.
The poor peoples of the world are paying more dearly for their food as a result, meaning many are eating less. Life is hard and has always been so for most of humanity. Certain moments in history are harder than others and of course it always depends on where and who one is. Today the entire fabric of is changing threatening us. We have entered one of the most difficult and perhaps dangerous periods of our existence; and it comes after 60 years of television and the easy life for too many people who will not do well when the going gets tougher.
Mankind.
Its history more or less limited to the last 5000 years and best characterize in which different groups, cults, secret societies, legions, collectives, and even individuals are
and have been fighting over the right to run this planet "their way". Not only than but also now and is onging.
History at his best is a subjective observation recorded from the point of view of a survivor, rather than of those who succumbed and as such bias. Although time runs consecutively, events do not happen in an independent, linear stream. In order to view and understand the history or reality of the past, one must view all events as part of an interactive whole and that has never been the case on earth. When looking back and reading recorded history you can only become ashame of the human race, blood thirsty, insane leaders, many obsesed with control over other and power, willing and terrorize others, slavery, mean, viscious, unreliable and not to be trusted. In general a reflection of the general chaos and barbarism that is current Humanity.
The wide spread use of propaganda and disinformation to confuse, program and control for the people they enslave. It is very important for the process that misinformation and disinformation are mixed with enough truth to fool people; otherwise, they would be useless tools. The subject to get so thoroughly overwhelmed with obvious false reports, use of discredited sources, hearsay, manufactured falsehoods, misunderstandings, missing information, added inapplicable information and a myriad of other conflicting complexities which should have made the subject laughable or unapproachable.

1. Eat fresh fruit instead of drinking fruit juice. Juice is often sweetened, but fresh fruits have natural sugars. Also, you dont receive all of the needed fiber and vitamins from fruit juice as you do from fresh fruit.
6. Fresh fruit also makes the perfect snack. Its far better to grab a banana or apple when hunger pangs strike, than a bag of greasy potato chips. Plus, fresh fruit just tastes better.
8. Fruits and vegetables have in them a natural storage of the suns energy. If we make a daily practice of having fresh fruit and vegetables, or one glass of real fruit juice and two or three cups of green juice of vegetables, our requirement for food will be reduced to a minimum. We will have enough energy to maintain the body in a healthy condition.

Royal Pains season 8 review
'Royal Pains' series finale review: The end and a beginning
Royal Pains, Royal Pains season 8 review July 7, 2016
The end is here for "Royal Pains," or at least the chapter of the show that we saw for eight seasons. Based on what happened tonight, the future is still very much bright for Hank and the rest of our main characters. As a whole, we do feel like every character got to a certain […]
'Royal Pains' season 8, episode 7 review: Revelations in song
Royal Pains, Royal Pains season 8 review June 30, 2016
Musical episodes are one of the hardest things out there to produce on TV, mostly because they require such a different energy and style than almost anything else that you are going to see a show do. They're super-ambitious, technically-challenging, and immediately polarizing. There are some out there who are going to think of them […]
'Royal Pains' season 8, episode 6 review: Evan warns Eddie; is Boris leaving?
Tonight, "Royal Pains" entered what we would firmly consider its home stretch. There are two episodes to go after tonight, and through those, we have to hope that we'll get some conclusion on some long-simmering stories. During this episode, we had what was probably the furthest thing from closure when it comes to the return […]
'Royal Pains' season 8, episode 5 review: Hank helps his former mentor; Evan, Paige try IVF
The 101st episode of "Royal Pains" aired on USA Wednesday night, and we would say for the most part that preparing for the future was the main theme. Each character did so in their own way, and they all managed to move forward by the end of the hour … albeit in very different ways. […]
'Royal Pains' season 8, episode 4 review: Was the 100th episode a worthy celebration?
Royal Pains, Royal Pains season 8 review June 9, 2016
Over the course of the past eight seasons, we've loved "Royal Pains." It's as a result of that the little things get us emotional, like Hank scrubbing in or seeing Evan give an inspiration speech about his past and what he's overcome. It's why we want to root for Jeremiah to find love with someone, […]
'Royal Pains' season 8, episode 3 review: Hank's Hong Kong romance and more
To think, we are now three episodes into the eighth season of "Royal Pains," but at the same exact time, we're not entirely sure that we are that much closer than we were previously to resolving the love life of one Hank Lawson. For example, on tonight's episode everything was starting to look up for […]
'Royal Pains' season 8, episode 2 review: Hank's latest getaway
Royal Pains, Royal Pains season 8 review May 27, 2016
Thanks to the extremely short episode orders for USA's "Royal Pains," we now face what is a very sad reality … but the reality still nonetheless: We are only six episodes away now from the end of the series. What's left to accomplish? Quite a bit really, since it first and foremost now seems like […]
'Royal Pains' season 8, episode 1 review: Inevitabilities
Tonight, "Royal Pains" returned to USA for the beginning of the end! There are seven episodes to go following the one that we had tonight, and we like to think that it set the tone, at least somewhat, for the series' endgame. For Hank, for example, it was about working through some of his own […]

Popular Chinese dishes in the US
What comes to mind when we speak of cultural exports from China to the United States?
Bruce Lee, the giant panda, or kung fu?
Without a doubt, these cultural symbols are successful exports of Chinese culture, but another form of Chinese culture widely known in the US is Chinese cuisine.
Many types of local snacks, all deeply loved in China, are taking over the streets of America. Some were modified to suit to Americans' tastes, while others retain the traditional taste of China.
Here are just some of them.
Pai huang gua (smashed cucumbers)
In a report titled Smashed cucumber salad takes Manhattan, The New York Times praised the method of smashing cucumbers in making salads as a completely new way to eat a cucumber.
As the latest trend in New York this summer, smashed cucumbers and "their craggy edges and rough surfaces absorb flavors and form relationships in seconds," as opposed to sliced cucumbers, which tend to "shrug" off the dressing.
"It's cool how just changing the way you break down an ingredient completely changes the way it feels and tastes," said Danny Bowien, the chef at Mission Chinese Food on the Lower East Side.
The traditional Chinese cucumber salad, or pai huang gua, is dressed with a vinaigrette of soy sauce, rice or black vinegar, chopped garlic, sugar and sesame oil. In North and West China, where spicy foods are preferred, chili oil or Sichuan peppercorns are added for that extra kick.
Smashed cucumbers have long been found in Chinese restaurants in New York, but they have branched into other types of cuisine this summer. At Mr. Bowien's Mexican-influenced restaurant Mission Cantina, they are served with an intensely flavored dressing of lime, cumin and oregano-flavored sesame paste. At the Japanese restaurant Untitled, they are served with buckwheat noodles, baby turnips and tuna tartare.
At Superiority Burgers, the cucumbers are mixed with tangy yogurt and jalapeno honey and sprinkled with crushed sesame breadsticks, a form that the traditional Chinese dish has never taken before.
"There's something about the roughness, and the variety of shapes and sizes, that you get with smashing that is incredibly satisfying," said Julia Goldberg, a sous-chef who created the recipe alongside Brooks Headley, chef and owner of Superiority Burger.
Jian bing (grilled savory crepe)
Jian bing, a form of grilled savory crepe with stuffing, is a popular dish in North China. The mung-bean-and-millet crepe is often made on a well-heated pan. Freshly scrambled egg, pickled vegetables, scallions, cilantro, black bean paste, chili sauce and a crispy fried crackers (the secret that adds a crunch to the crepe) are added on the crepe and rolled up. Often sold by street vendors, Jian bing is a popular choice for breakfast for on-the-go commuters.
Alisa Grandy, the owner of Bing Mi!, fell in love with the snack when she returned to Portland from her trip in China.
"When she got back from China, that's all she would talk about," says her husband Neal. Grandy spent months perfecting the right mix of ingredients to recreate the exact taste she enjoyed in China. Six months later, the couple opened a store. Business is good, as they've already got two crepe-makers on back order.
Bing Mi! sells a piece of jian bing for $6. In fact, it is the only item that they sell. According to Grandy's husband, Chinese customers nostalgic for the taste of home have given their compliments.
Rou jia mo (Chinese hamburger)
Rou jia mo, which translates as "meat placed between bun", has a similar recipe to hamburgers, consisting of chopped meat inside a bun.
The chewy bun baked in a clay oven or fried in a pan and with a mouthwatering meat filling stewed in a variety of spices - is not only popular in China's streets and alleys but also with foodies overseas.
Xie Yunfeng, a Chinese vendor selling rou jia mo in front of Columbia University in New York, became an online sensation in 2013. Xie said he could sell more than 100 rou jia mo a day.
Commenting on the reported comparison between rou jia mo and hamburgers, one Internet user said, "People like eating meat by sandwiching it between buns, whether they are in the East or the West."
General Tao's Chicken
Though name of the dish comes from general Zuo Zongtang (1812-1885), who lived during the Qing dynasty in today's Hunan province, the general himself carries little relation to the dish.
The dish General Tao's Chicken is neither served in Changsha, the capital of Hunan province, nor in Xiangyin, the birthplace of the general. The generals' descendants, who still live in Xiangyin, said they have never heard of such a dish.
General Tao's Chicken can be found almost ubiquitously in Chinese restaurants in the US. The chicken chunks, battered and deep fried, are often covered with a thick sweet and sour sauce seasoned with soy sauce, rice wine, rice wine vinegar, sugar, cornstarch and dried red chili peppers.
The term egg roll often refers to a variation of fried spring rolls in China, only the wrap is thicker, the entire form bigger, and it doesn't have much to do with eggs.
The typical spring rolls in China are made with rice dough, wrapped around fillings which often consists of julienned vegetables and sometimes meat, and then deep fried. The egg roll, however, is made with flour dough, which gives it a thicker texture as opposed to the rice wrap.
Egg rolls are often served as appetizers in the US, just as spring rolls are in China.

Local Councillors
Dec 2019 General Election - Results Statement
Chiltern Green Party candidates Alan Booth, Zoe Hatch and Peter Sims have all increased their Vote Share, with total votes across all three constituencies increasing by more than 50%. Alan in Chesham and Amersham gained 5.5% and held his deposit. Zoe in Beaconsfield gained over two thousand votes moving up to 4th place. In Wycombe, despite strong competition from Wycombe Independents, Peter increased his vote share by over 20% finishing 4th out of 7.
Nationally there was a strong increase in support for the Green Party with over 850,000 people voting to prioritise climate change. (See here) Although Caroline Lucas significantly increased her majority; due to our broken voting system (see below) she remains the only Green MP. The absurdity of this is highlighted by the SNP getting 1.2M votes, only 30% more than the Green Party, but having 47 more seats!
All that said, the overall outcome of the election is troubling. Even though more of the electorate chose not to vote, than voted conservative, Boris Johnson has been has been given huge amount of political power, with the biggest conservative majority in the Commons since the 1980s under Margaret Thatcher. What is more worrying are the Conservative's intentions, or lack of intentions (Sky News); beyond hard Brexit they seem to suggest an undermining of the UK's already weak and out dated system of democracy (Independant).
With neither the Labour party or the Lib Dems clear where to go next, let alone in a position to provide strong opposition, it is the Green Party who can and must show clear leadership. We are in no doubt what needs to happen over the next decade, and which direction England needs to be going in. We will oppose any attempts to undermine our rights or our democracy, call out hypocrisy and speak truth to power over the inadequacy of Conservative Manifesto's response to the Climate Emergency. We must speak up for the young people and future generations which will bare the consequences of the decisions made in the next 5 years.
Electoral Reform Note
It is also worth noting that there was a significant increase in the number of spoiled ballots at this election, with many voters calling for electoral reform by ranking candidates, voting for multiple candidates, or writing "None of the Above" on there ballot paper. See:

例句-1:Hey, I heard Bill and Mary are splitting up because Bill's seeing another woman! Do you know the real poop - is it true or is it just one of those nasty rumors we hear all the time?
例句-2:Sergeant, we have a report a column of German tanks is only 15 kilometers up that road. We need the straight poop right away - send a patrol up the road to find out if it's true.
例句-3:Did you see the latest poop sheet from the captain? It has ordered us to shave off all moustaches. Hey, I spent six months growing mine. But I guess I don't have much choice.
例句-4:When I finished, I had two pieces left over and I'd already thrown away the poop sheet that tells where they go. But the funny thing is the bike seems to work okay without them.

Q: Download file from SQL data source using asp.net web forms Gridview I'm using the Telerik RadGrid control and with it I'm using the GridAttachmentColumn as recommended on their documentation to download files but I seen to be missing something, perhaps some Code Behind? The documentation talks about disabling Ajax for file upload and exports but not download?
The SQL table contains the UNC path where these files are stored in a network share. The 'download' column points to the right data\location, the file path becomes a hyperlink but no action when I click on it.
I have also tried using a Hyperlink column which seems to partially work on IE but not on Chrome. Partially because some files are downloaded and some rendered on screen. I need to download them all with a solution that works on both browsers.

A: I'm guessing Telerik wasn't predicting UNC path usage for this control, it looks like you'll need to add some slashes and format it right to make the link fully clickable.
file://///server/path/to/file.txt

Even with this, it may not be fully cross-browser compatible.  Accessing a local file from a website is a security risk.
Linking a UNC / Network drive on an html page

A: Addressed the issue with a different approach.

*

*Changed to HyperLinkColumn

*Used it as follow
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="~\filedownload_6?FileName={0}"

*Added a "Download Page"

*Created a Virtual Directory in the website in IIS where the app is running which points to File
Share and used it in the Server.MapPath Method. (~/Files/ in the code)

at the moment it is possible to specify the users' main page as "course catalogue".
Is it possible to specify some other page as the user main page, perhaps a page that is not part of forma lms?
Re: Admin-specified User Main Page????
No, the home page is either the course catalogue tab or "my courses" (aka the Elearning tab).
if you need a custom page you could use the "home" tab, that displays an external page flagged as "default".

It is almost always a sight for sore eyes: this time, a woman was leading the Folkwang Chamber Orchestra and setting the beat, Greek conductor Lisa Xanthopoulou, the recipient of many an international prize and award.
She has a wealth of concert experience, prizes have been bestowed on her and she has been included in the "Maestros of Tomorrow" artists' list of the Conductors' Forum of the German Music Council. No wonder one could feel her energy and precision... and that there was so much applause.

The book is entitled Descendants of Light: American Photographers of Jewish Ancestry. The table of contents offers an impressive list of credits: from Diane Arbus to Lloyd Ziff, from Richard Avedon to Joel Peter Witkin: sixty-five essential photographers.
The author of this comprehensive book is Penny Wolin. During eight years, she photographed and interviewed living photographers or close family members of those who were deceased. Her presentation of each of them includes her portrait, excerpted interviews, an image of their ancestors or otherwise related to their past, and an iconic photograph of their making. We are perusing the book on the occasion of a year-long lecture series taking place in the US!


The United States has been looking into whether Huawei Technologies Ltd violated U.S. sanctions against Iran since at least 2016 and more recently the company's use of HSBC Holdings Plc to make illegal transactions involving Iran.
In 2012, HSBC paid $1.92 billion and entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn for violating U.S. sanctions and money-laundering laws.
An HSBC spokesperson declined to comment. Huawei also declined to comment.


The Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox browsers may not be as safe as you think. Security researchers recently discovered that computer chips manufactured in the past two decades contain major security vulnerabilities. One can be used by hackers to gain access to sensitive data.
There are a number of reasons you should be wary of saving your password to a digital platform. Just look at Yahoo's data breach in 2013, which leaked passwords for three billion people. Even when your password isn't compromised, saving it to a browser could have serious implications for your privacy.
Cybersecurity didn't become more important in light of the WannaCry ransomware epidemic, it just became more visible to the average internet user. If like so many others, you're auditing the security of business's software, web browsers are a great place to start.

You see, everytime a new texture is created, the last texture is deleted.
However, if I open the task manager the memory usage goes up and up.
Why is that so?
(If I remove setTexture(new...) everything is fine, so this is the problem.

A: Where are your glDelete… calls? (glDeleteTextures, glDeleteBuffers). Deallocating your class instances with the delete operator will not magically do the proper deletion steps with OpenGL unless you do it explicitly in the destructor.

A: When I am programming OpenGL stuff, i now use wrapper around all handles. If you use GLuint it is very likely to forget some setup or deletion code. Depending on your coding skills, these wrappers can be very generic or you can use the shared pointer for this purpose.

FIATA President and Director General at ALACAT Congreso XXXVIII in Mexico
On 10 October 2022 FIATA President Ivan Petrov participated in the opening ceremony of the ALACAT XXXVIII Congreso in Riviera Maya, Mexico with about 200 participants. In his speech he addressed some of the challenges the industry is facing in the recovery from the Covid pandemic and solutions developed by FIATA to support its members. He reminded the priorities of FIATA, namely: Multimodality, digitalisation, sustainability, vocational training, trade facilitation. He reiterated the importance for individual Latin American companies to engage with FIATA and participate in the future of the global supply chain of which freight forwarders are the architects. He invited Latin American countries to become digital freight forwarders by using FIATA eFBL and Freightpay, the new digital services developed by FIATA for its members.
On 11 October, the last session of the ALACAT XXXVIII Congreso was dedicated to FIATA - 'The universe of Freight Forwarding'. President Ivan Petrov and Director General Stéphane Graber exchanged with ALACAT President Moises Solis and AMACARGA President Juan P. Pacheco on the trends of the industry among which were the need for multi-channel logistics, additional capacity, the eCommerce boom, and digitalisation. FIATA presented its responses to support its members, such as the FIATA digital Bill of Lading, its sustainability project and YLP Programme for the promotion of new talent. Freight forwarders are at the heart of logistics and by being united, the sector will be able to successfully meet the challenges of modern logistics.
FIATA talks digitisation with Colombian Planning Department
On 13th October 2021, FIATA's Director General Dr Stéphane Graber, FITAC Director General Miguel Espinosa, and FIATA Vice-President Neil Taylor, had an exciting meeting with the Colombian Planning Department, in which mechanisms for collaboration and joint work were identified to promote the digitisation of foreign trade operations, supply chain sustainability and the training of small and medium-sized enterprises with an emphasis on multimodality. The need to make the logistics sector more attractive to the new generation was also noted. This was an excellent opportunity to recall the essential role of freight forwarders as architects of global logistics.
AEO Programmes- Your feedback needed!
As part of its work on customs and trade facilitation, FIATA continues to advocate for accessible AEO Certification for companies of all sizes, including SMEs, with tangible benefits.
FIATA, in collaboration with IATA, has launched a survey to better understand levels of participation in AEO programmes, to assess the effectiveness of AEO certification and associated benefits, and to identify industry expectations.
Please take a couple of minutes to answer this survey so that FIATA can most effectively support you. The survey is open until 31 October 2022. FIATA`s association members as well as freight forwarders and customs brokers are invited to participate!

World Bank calls for FIATA members to join LPI Survey 2022
The next edition of the World Bank's Logistics Performance Index (LPI) benchmarks logistics performance in around 160 countries. The document is to be published later in 2022. FIATA is the World Bank's most important partner in the LPI survey, and it is thanks to the participation of FIATA's members that the LPI can be published.
The World Bank invites you to take the survey now! The LPI provides the voice of logistics professionals: It is partly based on a survey among international freight forwarders who share their experience in moving goods and organizing international supply chains for their customers. This is a unique opportunity to "vote" and ultimately influence the environment that you, as professionals, operate in.
Please participate. It is very important to us to have your views! All responses are kept confidential and anonymous.
Completing the survey should only take 10 minutes. Find more information at lpi.worldbank.org. Questions? Email us at [email protected]
Logistics connectivity of the Greater Caspian Region: viability of the middle corridor
The Greater Caspian Region Forum organised by the Joint Chamber of Commerce (JCC) in partnership with the Greater Caspian Association Geneva took place on 11 October in Zurich. During the meeting, Mr Babar Badat, Board Member and Former President of FIATA, gave a presentation about the logistics connectivity of the Greater Caspian Region, noting that global supply chain issues are at the forefront of concerns in the logistics industry, and that it requires developing connectivity in the region with the support of international organisations like FIATA. Mr Badat also gave an overview on transportation to Pakistan using the Middle Corridor, and spoke about regional organisations like ECOLPAF (ECO Logistics Providers Associations Federation) who promote trade facilitation, multimodality, and harmonisation of legislation.
The Middle Corridor, also called the Silk Road or Trans-Caspian Transport Route, focuses on China-Europe and Central Asia-Europe trade and is becoming a viable alternative to the long-established Northern and Southern route trade due to the ongoing crises and subsequent sanctions, as well as recent maritime supply chain disruptions. It was noted that shorter distances and competitive transportation costs in comparison with higher freight rates in 2021 are making it more attractive. However, the lack of a single transit operator, current delays on the route, and the need to develop regional transport hubs and infrastructure remain the main constraints for the increased volumes. It was also considered that the Middle Corridor needs to maintain momentum to go from a strategic vision to a specific project development in close cooperation with regional public and private sector partners.
In March 2022, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Azerbaijan signed a declaration on the Middle Corridor, and in the interim several infrastructure and port projects are on the way, including the Kazakhstan government's plans to invest in railway modernisation and port infrastructure development by 2025, as well as development of the port of Baku in Azerbaijan. FIATA's Multimodal Transport Institute will monitor the development of this corridor to support the members in this regard.
AfCFTA Existential Priorities publication available to all members
In collaboration with the UNECA (UN Economic Commission for Africa), Francis Mangeni in this book aims to 'guide and assist implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) over the next 10 years. Each chapter considers a key area, raises issues for attention and points to possible ways forward. The introduction highlights the progress as of the end of 2021 in operationalizing and implementing the AfCFTA, while identifying the developmental challenges and existential threats ahead. The systems approach requires actions at the national, regional, continental and global levels. It involves continuous learning as a pivotal tenet of socioeconomic transformation and improvement. Lessons learned are continuously brought to bear on policy formulation and implementation. The Book has three parts. Part one has five framing chapters: Africa in the world, the architecture for Africa's regional integration, two publics, economic integration, and from ratification to implementation. Part two covers energy costs, textiles and clothing, women and youth in trade, and the free movement of people. Part three considers digitalization, technology and innovation, and public health as critical areas during the next 10 years.'

Apollo Theater
Apollo Theater (133)
DOWNLOAD THIS AUDIO (1.2 MB)
DOWNLOAD ALL (135.07 MB)
It all started in 1914, when this hall was opened in the heart of Harlem. Originally, its name was Hurting & Seamon's New Burlesque Theatre and was reserved exclusively for white people. In fact, if they have not removed it already, on the outside you can still see a "Whites Only" sign.
Already in 1934, this music hall was taken over by Leo Brecher and Frank Schiffman, who renamed it as the Apollo Theatre on 125th Street, whereas its formats stopped being burlesque to accommodate other varieties. That same year, the hall began to allow performances and entrance to an African-American audience. Indeed, it was the first jazz hall in the US to let Black people in.
Moreover, Ralph Cooper began broadcasting his radio programme live from here in 1934. It was the Amateur Nite Hour at the Apollo, a programme dedicated to discovering new talent, which soon became legendary. The truth is that the owners' interest in promoting African-American artists arose because the district was inhabited by more and more Black immigrants, but mainly because it was much cheaper to hire them, while assuring their talent.
To give you an idea, one of the first winners of this amateur contest was a very young Ella Fitzgerald at the age of 15 in November 1934. A few months later, Bessie Smith and, after her, a just 20-year-old singer called Billie Holiday, who stole the hearts of the audience, performed here. Quite a myth that quickly led to the famous sentence that defines the Apollo Theatre: "Where the stars are born and legends are made."
Since then, the list of artists who have performed during its famous amateur nights is simply extraordinary. From Aretha Franklin to Lauryn Hill, from James Brown to Stevie Wonder, from Duke Ellington to Count Basie and from Diana Ross to the Jackson Five. Somehow or other, all of them were discovered here.
As a curiosity, we can tell you that the first white person to act during these amateur nights was Buddy Holly in 1957 at the age of 21 and that Jimi Hendrix himself won the first prize in 1964 at the age of only 22.
In the late 1960s, the hall was already losing audience, whereas in the 1970s it eventually became a cinema. But, fortunately, in 1983, it changed hands and underwent a major renovation to reopen in 1985 and recover its wonderful amateur nights, among other things. Thus, of course, our best recommendation is that you review the billboard and get yourself a ticket to enjoy a magical night in this world temple of jazz: the Apollo Theatre. When you leave, do not forget to take one of the classic photographs of New York with Apollo's red neon letters glowing in Harlem.
In 2010, after two years of deliberations, the Apollo Theater has launched a very interesting initiative: the Apollo's Walk of Fame, similar to what exists in Hollywood, but with the artists who have performed in this hall. Along the pavement of 125th Street, you can find rectangular plaques of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, and other stars, like Quincy Jones, Aretha Franklin, Little Richard or Ella Fitzgerald. They are actual legends.
Guided tours of about an hour, during which you can visit, among other rooms, The Wall of Fame in the lobby, which features a huge collage with the performers who have gone on stage in this establishment. It also boasts a souvenir shop.
Thus, if you happen to be there during visiting hours, do not hesitate, you will be located where great music legends have been created and will continue to be created.
