Like any best life-living person, I am subscribed to more than a dozen email newsletters that are trying to coach me towards living an even better best life. They are mostly from Oprah. It's nice to start the day with Oprah's thoughts, but according to her own newsletters (including her OWN newsletter, which is a joke for Oprah Winfrey fans) and the many, many other best life-related newsletters I subscribe to, there are other good ways to start the day and they are all extremely important.
Do not ever hit the snooze button!
Wake up at 4 a.m.!
Before you do anything, write three pages!
Before you do anything, meditate for 15 minutes!
Before you do anything, go for a run!
Take the time for yourself!
Do your most thoughtful work of the day!
Read a book (and write down three things you're grateful for)!
There is nothing I want more than to live my best life. I want to live it better than anyone has ever lived before, is what I'm saying. But I'm not super sure how to do it, because I'm not super sure how to even start my day. My BEST day.
I mean, maybe you could multitask (People living their best lives do not multitask, say the newsletters) and knock out a few things on that list at the same time, like answering your emails while running, or reading while you cook breakfast.
Although that's how these Pop Tarts died.
But even if you were hyper-efficient, making tea while writing your morning pages and the things you're grateful for, doing intervals so you get both a walk and a run in at the same time, and stretching while you meditate (something tells me that's not mindful), by my calculation you still wouldn't be done with everything before 9am. And even though you've really best-lifed it up, at that point you're an hour late for work and still not even dressed.
Maybe once you're finally living your self-actualized best life, you level up and can bend the laws of time and space. Or maybe it's possible. To find out, I tried it all this morning. I thought maybe I could squeeze it in.
Turned the alarm off and trusted my body to wake up five minutes later.
Woke up 15 minutes later because my body is a traitor.
Read a news story about someone stealing cows in New Zealand.
Shuffled to the closet and stared at my clothes.
Checked the closet again in case new clothes had suddenly appeared.
Decided to wear pants because I haven't shaved my legs in a while.
Changed out of my pajamas.
Shoved my head under the sink while brushing my teeth.
Poked myself in the eye with my mascara wand.
Said goodbye to the cats in a crazy person's voice.
Ran back in the house for my purse and a granola bar.
Choked on the granola bar in the car on the way to work.
Not exactly best life stuff.
I never meant to hurt you, Oprah.
But when I look at how I spent my morning and how the newsletters say I should spend my morning, I think I came out on top. In my version, I got to pet cats, read about cows, and sleep. In Oprah's version, I would just be running, and working, and giving myself paper cuts on journals.
I don't think I want my best life after all. I'll settle for pretty okay.
i cant stop laughing. Don't get me wrong. I am trying to do all that and i am experiencing the SAME problem… just different country. And yes i am late for work in the process.
By reading this, i felt more normal. LOL. Thanks for sharing.
All that "how to live the best life" stuff can be exhausting sometimes. I like your advice better.
Now and then, I get this idea that it'd be good to wake up early on the week-end and get stuff done …but then I wake up and realise that it's much better to lie in bed for another hour or so.
I like to think that on my death bed, I won't be saying, "I wish I'd woken up at 4am to run more." That thought helps me sleep late, late into Saturday mornings.
You have a great life! All I read was cats :) happy happy :) Like last night I had a sore back, and my husband climbed into bed on his side and asked how I was feeling. I sort of scrunched up my face and was going to say I was ok, and then Tiger jumped up on my pillow, and all of a sudden I was all big smiles and 'Hey Tiger! How's it going?' :) My husband said 'You're fine now though, aren't you :)?' I was all 'Yup :)'. Cats are great. I gave up trying to have best days a while ago. Now I figure it's good if one day's tasks get done within a three day window.
It is weird how a cat can magically erase all the bad feelings. Unless they are causing you bad feelings with their claws, which happens to me a lot. Maybe it's the brain parasites talking, but I love those little monsters.
I know, right? They're like furry anaesthetic! Tests have apparently actually proven that having pets (read cats) makes a person healthier, and I can totally see how that would be true.
This had me laughing out loud, marvelous. A perfect way to start the morning.

Q: Unitary transform Given any two vectors $\vec{x}$ and $\vec{y}$ of the same modulus (i.e., the 2-norm), does there always exist a unitary matrix $U$ st $U\vec{x}=\vec{y}$. How to prove this formally?

A: Suppose $V$ is a finite-dimensional inner product space.
First suppose that $x, y \in H$ with $\|x\| = \|y\| = 1$. Extend $x$ to an orthonormal basis $x, v_1, \dots, v_n$ of $H$ and extend $y$ to an orthonormal basis $y, w_1, \dots, w_n$ of $H$. Let $U$ be the linear map from $H$ to $H$ such that
$$Ux = y \quad \text{  and  } \quad Uv_j = w_j \text{ for } j = 1, \dots, n.
$$
Then $U$ is a unitary map such that $Ux = y$.
Now suppose $x, y\in H$ with $\|x\| = \|y\| \ne 0$. Apply the result in the paragraph above to
$$
\frac{x}{\|x\|} \quad \text{and} \frac{y}{\|y\|}
$$
to obtain a unitary map $U$ such that $Ux = y$, as desired.

Verdasco perked up for the second set, but eighth-seeded Fish broke his serve to start the third set and beat Verdasco 6-0, 1-6, 6-3 to reach the men's final for the second year in a row.
"It was difficult to kind of stay on my side today," Fish said. "It didn't really look like Fernando was wanting to be out there. I don't think that's any secret.
"It's almost like playing someone who's injured. You know, they're kind of going for broke and they don't have much to lose."
Unscathed in the third set, Fish made it back to the final. His buddy and Tampa, Fla., neighbor James Blake awaited last year; tonight, it's sixth-seeded Marin Cilic.
The 19-year old Croatian easily defeated Slovenian qualifier Luka Gregorc 6-3, 6-3 in the night semifinal. This will be Cilic's first ATP final, but Fish knows the teenager will be a threat in the 7 p.m. championship match.
The 6-foot-6 Cilic, who, at No. 31 in the world, is the second-highest ranked teenager in the ATP Rankings, is 29-21 this season.
But one those victories was a three-set, third-round upset over American Andy Roddick at the Rogers Masters in Toronto in July.
Cilic also reached the fourth round at the Australian Open (where he was ultimately bested by Blake in straight sets) and at Wimbledon.
"He's been doing real well this year," said Fish, who has never faced Cilic. "I think he beat Andy in Toronto to make the quarterfinals there. So he certainly is good on hardcourts, comfortable. I think he did well at Wimbledon as well and can play on most surfaces."
It looked as if Fish, ranked No. 35, would coast when his semifinal began.
Five of Verdasco's 10 double faults came in the first set, which was over in 22 minutes. Fish went up 5-0 with three straight aces; Verdasco barely moved.
"(At 4-0) I think it's almost impossible to come back," Verdasco said. "I didn't do anything more. So I start to put more power in the second set."
Fish held serve to start the second set and had Verdasco down 0-30 (Verdasco dinked a shot from the baseline into the net) and then 15-40 in the second game.
"I had a chance in the second game of the second set to really put him away," Fish said. "It's funny to say 'put him away.' It's only a set and a break. I would have felt pretty comfortable at that spot."
Fish won only four more points in the set.
"More with a player like Mardy, when you play with a good server, if they break you one time, they serve better, and if they break you two times, they serve unbelievable," Verdasco said.
"And in the second set (it) was just the opposite. I break him, and then he start to serve worse and to make more mistakes. And everything changed, no?"
It changed only briefly. Verdasco double faulted to start the third set, and Fish took the first game.
"Maybe I had some chances to put more pressure and break him back," Verdasco said. "I think he served really good in the first and the third set. I didn't have too many chances to break him, no?"
Well, he had two break points in the second game of the third set.
Fish got to deuce with a 127-mph ace, then saved another break point with a winner at the net. He wasn't really threatened again on serve until he led 4-3, when two errors put him down 0-30, but he came back, and Verdasco double faulted twice in the final game.
Cilic had no such trouble in the other semifinal against 24-year old Gregorc, who had upset three seeded players en route to his first ATP semifinal.
Gregorc had seven aces and saved seven break points, but converted just 52 percent of his service points compared to Cilic's 73 percent.
"At the beginning of the year, my secret goal was to reach (my) first ATP final," he said. "I'm really glad that I did. It feels great."
Cilic started the year ranked No. 71 and now figures to jump into the Top 25 with his championship appearance today.
"Tomorrow I have to be focused for every point," he said of facing Fish. "But also (I have) to be a little pumped up and that's going to help me be there for every point in the match."

Inventory and Vacancy Rate: The retail inventory in Southern New Hampshire included 29.8 million square feet in 2018, indicating no appreciable change from a year ago. Vacancy increased 41,200 square feet, equating to a vacancy rate of 9.3% compared to 9.1% last year. At the same time, the higher vacancy rate can be attributed to store closings involving just two retail firms, Toys R Us and Walmart. Toys R Us closed four namesake stores and two Babies R Us stores while Walmart closed two Sam's Club units. Offsetting these store closings were store openings that filled a number of large format vacancies. Three vacant Sports Authority stores were, or will soon be, occupied by replacement tenants including HomeGoods and Sierra Trading Post in Nashua, Cost Plus World Market in Salem, and Guitar Center, Party City, and DSW in Manchester. BJ's already opened in the vacant Sam's Club in Manchester. A vacant Shaw's anchored strip center in Merrimack is under redevelopment with Planet Fitness now open. Altitude Trampoline Park also will anchor this center, now known as Merrimack 360, and is expected to open later this summer.

L.A. still has work to do on pension reform
CORPaTH2016-12-19T17:46:14-08:00December 19th, 2016|Categories: Pension Reform|Tags: los angeles|
Los Angeles' elected leaders have frequently praised themselves for passing pension reforms. Former Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa repeatedly claimed to have made "the most far-reaching effort in the nation" to rein in employee retirement benefits. And Mayor Eric Garcetti said this year that L.A. had "done the most pension reform in the country of any big city." But even after persuading employee unions to accept these vital changes, the city continues — and will continue for several more years — to spend 20% of its budget on workers' retirement [...]

CAUTION! This is experimental. Please report problems to us!
This is a free service available to all DShield log contributors.
DShield.org in collaboration with SRI International has established a new experimental custom source address blocklist generation service available to all DShield.org contributors. This new service utilizes a radically different approach to blocklist formulation called Highly Predictive Blocklisting. Each DShield contributor can now access a unique HPB (instructions below) that reflects the most probable set of source addresses that will connect to that contributor's network over a prediction window that may last several days into the future.
Highly predictive blocklists employ a link analysis algorithm similar to Google's PageRank scheme used to find the most relevant web pages given a user's query. Similar to a web query, DShield contributor's firewall logs are cross-compared in search of overlaps among the attackers they report. Each attacker address that is included in an HPB is selected by favoring those ad-dresses that are encountered by other contributors that share degrees of overlap with the HPB owner.
How does it work (for non math geeks ;-) ): We compare your firewall logs to firewall logs submitted by others. If you and other submitters are hit on similar ports, then your are more likely to be attacked by the same IPs. Your personal "HPB" is created from the IP addresses that target submitters with similar reports as you.
Why does it work: Let take port 1434 as an example. Port 1434 is attacked "a lot". Many of our worst offenders attack this port. However, maybe your ISP is already blocking port 1434. So blocking a pure 1434 scanner wouldn't do you any good. We know that your ISP blocks port 1434, because you never submit any reports for port 1434. So if we create a blocklist from all users that never report hits on 1434, we are likely to create a better blocklist for you.
First of all, you have to be a DShield submitter. We can not compute the blocklist if you do not submit data or if you only submit anonymous data.
For more details about the algorithms involved, see Cyber-TA!
At the bottom of this page, you will find the URL for your HPB.
You can use this particular link to test. But the code at the end will change for your account. The format is identical to our regular "top 10 worst offender" blocklist. You can use whatever script you use to pull the old blocklist. Just replace the URL accordingly.
The Blocklist is recalculated once a day.
All lines starting with a '#' are comments and should be ignored.
All IP addresses are '0' padded for 3-digits per byte. So 100.10.1.0 becomes 100.010.001.000.

Motorists happy with repairs to road near Burton dubbed the worst in the country because of its potholes
But don't get to comfy as there will be more in the area next year
Villagers in Barton under Needwood are finally breathing a sigh of relief as work on a road branded the worst in Britain is completed.
Alison Jones, who is a councillor on Barton Parish Council, said she has received positive comments from people in the village on the work to resurface the B5016 Station Road along with the three roundabouts onto the A38.
The road was once dubbed the worst in Britain because of the number of potholes, but it is now a very different story after a major £500,000 revamp scheme by Staffordshire County Council to resurface it.
How Station Road in Barton under Needwood looked before the work was carried out.
The work has included deep repair patches to some of the worst holes on the bridge over the A38. The five weeks of work was completed overnight to cause as little disruption to people getting to work as possible.
Councillor Jones said: "People have said that it is much, much better and they are very relieved that it has been done. It is a lot easier to drive over. The only problem is that they have closed St Peter's Bridge which means that more people are now going over Walton bridge to get to Burton.
Boots and Argos have more than 3,000 jobs up for grabs in Burton for Christmas
"I am really happy that the road and roundabouts have now been finished as with everything that is going on with the closure it would mean that it would really struggle now.
"It was very efficient way of doing it at night as it did not effect people too much in the day but you could see that more had been done every day while the work was being carried out."
However, don't get too complacent as regular users of the road will face disruption next year after it was revealed that Highways England, which maintains the bridge structure, is planning further works on a separate stretch of the road next year. It will completely resurface the carriageway over the bridge.
The road has been causing problems for drivers for years
Councillor Jones said part of this section of the road had now been patched over until the work begins next year which means drivers are no longer in for a bumpy ride.
Burton Mail readers have previously made their voices heard over the state of the road before the work was completed with Andrew Hollyhead, from Barton, going as far as to call the B5016 island on the way back from Walton to Barton as "moon-like" and "more suited for an off-road vehicle".
Burton councillor celebrates as famous 'man-shaped' pothole is finally filled in
Others have said that there were better roads in India and Africa than Barton. Last year the roundabout made national news and headlines with people dubbing it one of the worst roads in the country for its potholes and general condition.
The road, that was formerly referred to as like the surface of the moon, is now looking a lot better
Helen Fisher, Staffordshire County Council's cabinet support member for highways and transport, said: "Our £500,000 investment at Barton Turns is part of our wider package of improvements right across the county. I'm sure motorists will notice a real difference and I would like to thank people for their patience while the work was carried out."


The Shard, London was opened in 2013 and in the years leading up to this after construction started in 2009 we were asked to supply our MK2 Door Coordinators on this project on all double fire doors right up to the 95th floor. Design and style were paramount alongside ensuring regulations were met throughout.
One of our distributors was fortunate enough to win the project to supply all the architectural door hardware for The Olympic Stadium in 2012, for which they required our MK2 Fire Door Coordinators. We proudly supplied our British Made product that achieves full UL and CE fire classification to ensure fire safety.
Shopping malls, pubs and restaurants all require door and fire safety products to ensure the public who visit are kept safe. We have supplied to some of the biggest shopping malls in the world down to the smallest pubs/restaurants within the UK and continue to help businesses to meet all fire safety requirements.
We have supplied our products for various Four Seasons Hotels in the Middle East and Asia to ensure that these prestigious buildings meet with all fire safety requirements. We have had fantastic feedback from distributors and our products have been specifically requested for multiple hotels within this chain.
We have supplied door hardware at various airports around the world, but one we are really proud of was at Heathrow Airport for Terminal 5 and existing terminals in 2012. Strict delivery dates were met whilst ensuring specification was correct for all door hardware requirements throughout the airport.
We have supplied to various educational buildings around the UK through our distributors who have specified our product to account for regular use of opening and closing doors. Knowing that our product is robust and designed to meet all fire safety requirements meant it was specified without hesitation.
The Burj Kalifa is the tallest building in the world and one of our international distributors was asked to specify all the door hardware for the building, which included our MK2 Fire Door Coordinators. Supplying for this monumental building is one of our proudest achievements.
Hospitals are at the forefront of requiring products that meet fire safety and quality standards. Where doors are continuously opened and shut the door hardware supplied needs to be robust and easy to maintain. We ensure that all products supplied meet these requirements and can be used day in day out.
We specify for UK and overseas hospitality and hotel projects that most importantly require our products to meet all fire safety standards for publically used buildings. Additionally as our products come in a wide range of finishes, we met the needs of these projects to ensure a stylish design throughout the building.

Our birthing tub has arrived! We had a trial run to set up earlier this week. Took all of 15 minutes to inflate it, using the little electric fan. We'll fill it up with a hose that runs from our kitchen sink; the hose can be used to fill it and drain it, which helps maintain the optimum temperature.
Of course, the front door will not be open when I am in labor. And I think we're going to put the tub in the corner of the living room (in the photo above: where the black chair, guitar and banjo are in top right), rather than right smack in the middle.
Me in our birthing tub!
After Bean is born in this tub, he/she will have their own special kiddie pool!

very cool…. looks comfortable and just the right size… i still cant believe its actually almost here.

For the past few years, I've argued that, unless we're prepared to become significantly more creative and imaginative in the way in which educate young people, the likelihood of them grasping the opportunity to fulfil their potential can only be enormously diminished.
I've tried to promote the concept of innovation in ways that ensure that our education systems, at every level, remain relevant to the collective needs of a society that is in itself changing in ways that, at times, I find quite bewildering!
It is, of course, digital technology that's the driving force behind much, or even most of this change.
Surely, if we want to win back the trust of young people, we need to engage far more effectively with their world – learn to view technology, and the way in which they relate to it – through their eyes.
To see it as they do – as creative and transformative – not simply as some kind of useful 'add-on' but as something that changes the very nature of the way in which all of us teach and learn; and indeed, the way we respond to learning.
The events of August 2011 should have made it clear that the task of winning back the trust and respect of an entire generation is a desperately urgent one, because, without it, the chances of our being able to help them develop the wisdom, the patience and the courage to deal with the world we've bequeathed to them moves from being difficult – to well nigh impossible! But it would be naive to think that the impact of technology is restricted simply to those being taught.
Affordable and powerful platforms and technologies have now become embedded in the everyday lives of a whole new generation of teachers; and that's important, because, in essence, the problems surrounding the adoption of advanced technologies as part and parcel of day-to-day teaching practice stem from two very different approaches to technology.
The first seems designed to support and reinforce existing – or, in many cases, outdated – practices, some of which haven't materially changed for almost 100 years!
It's somewhat the equivalent of putting the man with the red flag back in front of each automobile and simply encouraging him to jog a little more quickly. In truth, merely 'digitising' old practices means simply seeking to get the same or similar results – but that bit faster.
If all you do with technology is use it to support existing methodologies and practice, then why, and on what possible basis, would you expect new or significantly better results?
I've long been suggesting to anyone who'll listen that those who wish to drive educational improvement would do well to consider what a major, positive 'disruption' in learning and teaching might look like; that's to say, what advances could a bold and enlightened 'digital pedagogy' achieve, as opposed to simply settling for a 'digitised curriculum'?
For, in every respect, these are two very different things.
Our task is to harness every opportunity we can find for delivering creative learning through technology; to address those many longer-term challenges we as a global and digital society now face, whilst offering all our young people a decent chance to lead happy, fulfilling and rewarding lives.

DA Bill will keep Key Points safe but end corruption - Zakhele Mbhele
Zakhele Mbhele |
Party says apartheid-era Act has to go
DA's Critical Infrastructure Bill will ensure our Key Points are no hot-bed for corruption
These are the remarks made at a press conference in Parliament today by the DA's Chief Whip, John Steenhuisen MP, DA Shadow Minister of Police, Dianne Kohler Barnard MP and Shadow Deputy Minister of Police,Zakhele Mbhele MP, on the DA's Protection of Critical Infrastructure Bill to repeal the National Key Points Act.
The DA has reintroduced its Protection of Critical Infrastructure Private Member's Bill ("Critical Infrastructure Bill") to Parliament which seeks to repeal the outdated Apartheid-era legislation that is the National Key Points Act (NKPA) of 1980.
Virtually every line of the NKPA - as it currently exists - was designed to ensure that the Apartheid state could continue to rule with an iron-fist, without transparency and accountability. That this Act exists in this form today is an indictment on our hard-won democracy.
Indeed, when the Act was passed in 1980, it was done in response to what the government of the day viewed as sabotage or terrorism. It was used to wage war against our own people. This Act was designed to reinforce the safety of the Apartheid system and to give the Apartheid Minister of Defence very broad authority to 'declare' any place in South Africa a National Key Point. The responsibility of this Act later transferred to the Minister of Police where it remains today.
A by-product of the wide ministerial discretion of the NKP Act has, for almost 35 years, allowed for our most critical state infrastructure and strategic installations and buildings to become a hot-bed for corruption and secrecy. This has been allowed through a number of problematic provisions in the legislation:
- The list of National Key Points is not publicly available, which means the Act is not a law of general application. Furthermore, the absence of a published list prevents scrutiny of whether these key points have been justifiably declared;
- The special account designed to assist in funding the operation of National Key Points is non-existent. This results in the improper appropriation of state funds, wherein government departments allocate funds to upgrading and securing National Key Points when these should be obtained from the special account;
- The Minister is not ordered in the Act to declare the properties – so how on earth is one to know if one is breaking the law or not; and
- Section 10 of the Act indeed creates a criminal offence by prohibiting anyone from providing "any information relating to the security measures, applicable at or in respect of any National Key Point or in respect of any incident that occurred there". Which may mean that journalists could be jailed, who may indeed be unwittingly taking photos of a National Key Point, which appears on an authentic list they may never see. This was the case with a journalist, Le Roux Schoeman, who was detained late last year and later released by security at Majuba Power Station for taking photos of a "National Key Point".
This, we submit, makes it easier for the political elite to conduct corrupt and criminal activity under the veil of secrecy. This is precisely what happened in the Nkandlagate scandal, where the Act was used to justify the burying of information relating to the exorbitant expenditure of public funds used to upgrade President Jacob Zuma's private home at Nkandla.
This simply cannot be allowed to happen again and legislative measures need to be taken to ensure that history does not repeat itself. The DA's Private Members Bill seeks to make these necessary changes, by replacing the NKP Act with a constitutionally aligned alternative. Our Bill provides for the following:
- Chapter 6 of the DA's Critical Infrastructure Bill allows for much needed parliamentary oversight to counteract the Minister's authority;
- Clause 13 of the Bill looks to establish a board to oversee, determine and declare the functions surrounding the protection and classification of critical infrastructure installations, as opposed to the Police Minister having sole discretion to declare which areas or structures need government protection;
- The Bill creates strict criteria for the classification of critical infrastructure installations under specific sectors, based on national security and vulnerability;
- Allocate the responsibility of managing the costs associated with declaring a place or area a critical infrastructure installation to the government, and not to the owner;
- Ensure there is a publicly available list of all critical infrastructure installations and that the list is regularly reviewed and tabled in Parliament; and
- It will ensure that the Portfolio Committee on Police oversees the implementation of the Act, including conducting regular, open committee sittings thereon.
We know the President has 246 million good reasons to keep the NKP Act. This is precisely why we have to scrap it now, so we do not allow for another Nkandla to take place. Public money should be spent on our people, not in ensuring that President Jacob Zuma's cattle receive five-star treatment at state expense.
We have introduced this Bill to Parliament, and it has already been gazetted for public comment. The Minister of Police, and the ANC, now have the opportunity to do what is right and send the NKP Act to the scrap-heap of history. We urge them to join us in the fight against corruption, and to support our Bill. If they do not, they will demonstrate that they care only for protecting President Jacob Zuma and his lavish spending of public money.

Q: Django: Search results with django-tables2 and django-filter I'd like to retrieve a model's objects via a search form but add another column for search score. I'm unsure how to achieve this using django-tables2 and django-filter.
In the future, I'd like the user to be able to use django-filter to help filter the search result. I can access the form variables from PeopleSearchListView but perhaps it's a better approach to integrate a django form for form handling?
My thought so far is to handle to the get request in get_queryset() and then modify the queryset before it's sent to PeopleTable, but adding another column to the queryset does not seem like a standard approach.
tables.py
class PeopleTable(tables.Table):
   score = tables.Column()
   class Meta:
     model = People
     template_name = 'app/bootstrap4.html'
     exclude = ('id',)
     sequence = ('score', '...')

views.py
class PeopleFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
  class Meta:
    model = People
    exclude = ('id',)

class PeopleSearchListView(SingleTableMixin, FilterView):
  table_class = PeopleTable
  model = People
  template_name = 'app/people.html'
  filterset_class = PeopleFilter

  def get_queryset(self):
    p = self.request.GET.get('check_this')
    qs = People.objects.all()
    ####
    # Run code to score users against "check_this".
    # The scoring code I'm using is complex, so below is a simpler
    # example.
    # Modify queryset using output of scoring code?
    ####
    for person in qs:
      if person.first_name == 'Phil' and q == 'Hey!':
        score = 1
      else:
        score = 0
    return qs

urls.py
 urlpatterns = [
   ...
   path('search/', PeopleSearchListView.as_view(), name='search_test'),
   ... ]

models.py
 class People(models.model):
   first_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
   last_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

Edit:
The scoring algorithm is a bit more complex than the above example. It requires a full pass over all of the rows in the People table to generate a score matrix, before finally comparing each scored row with the search query. It's not a one-off score. For example:
 def get_queryset(self):
   all = []
   for person in qs:
     all.append(person.name)
   # Do something complex with all,
   # e.g., measure cosine distance between every person,
   # and finally compare to the get request
   scores = measure_cosine(all, self.request.GET.get('check_this'))
   # We now have the scores for each person.

A: When you define a new column for django-tables2 which is not included in table data or queryset, you should provide a render method to calculate it's value.
You don't have to override get_queryset if a complex filtering, preprocess or join required.
In your table class:
class PeopleTable(tables.Table):
    score = tables.Column(accessor="first_name")
    class Meta:
        model = People

    def render_score(self, record):
        return 1 if record["first_name"] == "Phil" and q == "Hey!" else 0

In your view you can override and provide complex data as well as special filtering or aggregates with get_context_data:
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context["filter"] = self.filter

        aggs = {
            "score": Function("..."),
            "other": Sum("..."),
        }
        _data = (
            People.objects.filter(**params)
            .values(*values)
            .annotate(**aggs)
            .order_by(*values)
            .distinct()
        )

        df = pandas.DataFrame(_data)
        df = df....
        chart_data = df.to_json()
        data = df.to_dict()...

        self.table = PeopleTable(data)
        context["table"] = self.table
        context['chart_data']=chart_data

        return context

A: So you can add extra columns when you initialise the table.
I've got a couple of tables which do this based on events in the system;
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        """
        Override the init method in order to add dynamic columns as
        we need to declare one column per existent event on the system.
        """
        extra_columns = []

        events = Event.objects.filter(
            enabled=True,
        ).values(
            'pk', 'title', 'city'
        )

        for event in events:
            extra_columns.append((
                event['city'],
                MyColumn(event_pk=event['pk'])
            ))

        if extra_columns:
            kwargs.update({
                'extra_columns': extra_columns
            })

        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

So you could add your score column similar to this when a score has been provided. Perhaps passing your scores into the table from the view so you can identify they're present and add the column, then use the data when rendering the column.
extra_columns doesn't appear to be in the tables2 docs, but you can find the code here; https://github.com/jieter/django-tables2/blob/master/django_tables2/tables.py#L251

Halden named director of new Center for Environmental Security
Posted by Joe Kullman | Nov 7, 2012 | Faculty
ASU engineering professor Rolf Halden.
Arizona State University engineering professor Rolf Halden has been appointed to lead a new effort to protect human health and critical ecosystems, called the Center for Environmental Security (CES).
"The goal of CES is to protect human populations and our planet by detecting, minimizing and ultimately eliminating harmful chemical and biological agents through engineering interventions," said Halden, a professor in the School of Sustainable Enginering and the Built Environment, one of ASU's Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering.
Halden is also a researcher at the Biodesign Institute and senior sustainability scientist for the Global Institute of Sustainability at ASU.
"We will be utilizing a proactive approach to examine chemical and biological threats in the environment locally and globally, to track human diseases caused by environmental exposure, and to develop intervention strategies suitable for mitigating these threats," Halden explains.
The new Center is being established as the 11th research center at ASU's Biodesign Institute, and the first partnership to leverage expertise and resources of ASU's Security and Defense Systems Initiative (SDSI), led by ASU Professor Werner Dahm.
"The vision of the Center for Environmental Security to become a leading U.S. academic center for biosecurity is a key component of our university-wide initiative seeking to coordinate major new defense-related research efforts," said Dahm, director of SDSI. "Our Initiative is focused on national and global security through an integrative, trans-disciplinary approach. Establishing a partnership with the new Center for Environmental Security at the nexus of the environment, human health and security will meet critical real-world needs of the security and defense sector."
Support for the establishment of the CES includes funding from the Piper Charitable Trust's Health Solutions, SDSI and ASU's Office of Knowledge Enterprise Development.
"Among ASU's key research strategies is to expand our sustainability and environmental research portfolio in a way that enables technology development and entrepreneurship that grow our region's intellectual talents and assets to create interdisciplinary training to meet the needs of the new 'green' jobs needed in the knowledge economy," said Sethuraman Panchanathan, senior vice president of ASU's Office of Knowledge Enterprise Development. "This new Center has been established as one of the first academic initiatives in the country to specifically tackle the issues of the environment and sustainability in a unique and different perspective: as a vital component to our national security."
Halden sees the necessity for the Center to work on a regional, national and global scale to protect environmental quality and human health using both traditional and innovative public health strategies:
"Public health engineering holds the answer to numerous present-day sustainability challenges, whether it's food and drinking-water safety or containing the risk of emergence and spread of communicable diseases," said Halden. "More than half of humanity's health problems are dependent either directly or indirectly on environmental factors. People get exposed to potentially harmful agents through food, air, water and soil. We are looking at all relevant exposure routes with the goal to intervene early. Public health engineering saves lives and money. Stemming wastewater-borne environmental pollution and communicable diseases is a case in point. Whereas the full range of chemical and pathogenic threats in sewage is still unknown, we know how to design and implement biological sewage treatment systems that can recycle precious water resources while keeping the public safe. Similar management strategies are needed to deal with emerging issues of, for example, endocrine disruptors in consumer products and biological agents in ambient air that are linked to, respectively, developmental and respiratory diseases which come at a huge cost to quality of life and economic productivity. Anticipating threats and preventing avoidable environmental diseases is a public health priority offering tremendous return-on-investment."
Major CES research thrusts include:
• Environmental Monitoring (Threat Detection)
• Environmental Epidemiology (Health Impact Assessment)
• Public Health Preparedness (Bioterrorism Prevention)
• Innovative Environmental Diagnostics and Management Strategies (Microcosm arrays and Policy Interventions)
• Food Safety & Security (Microbial Drug Resistance Tracking)
In keeping with the goal of ASU's use-inspired research approach, CES will not only identify root causes of environmental and ecological health impacts but also will fulfill its core mission by developing solutions to mitigate identified threats.
The Center has two Department of Defense sponsored projects as well as technologies such as the microcosm array platform technology to detect environmental contaminants and assess the efficacy of customized engineering interventions. In addition, through the Biodesign Institute's Creation Space, Halden has fostered a spinout company, called In Situ Well (ISW) Technologies, that focuses on remediation for contaminated water resources and aquifers.
More than 30 undergraduate and graduate students, research technicians, postdoctoral researchers and administrative staff have been recruited to CES. In addition to Dr. Halden, a public health engineer and center director, CES faculty include: Matthew Scotch, a biomedical informatician focusing on zoonotic diseases, GIS applications, and epidemiology; Cody Youngbull, a physicist specializing in water sensors and detection technologies; and Benny Pycke, an environmental scientist concentrating on exposure assessment, biological cleanup, and control strategies for microbial drug resistance.
To maximize the collaborative environmental research opportunities, the Center occupies 5,600 sq. ft. of laboratory and office space in the new ISTB-4 building, which opened on Sept. 19, 2012. The CES research space contains a high-end mass spectrometry and proteomics facility for detection in the environment and in people, of naturally occurring and anthropogenic chemical and biological agents, whether these are released accidently or intentionally in an act of terrorism.
To maximize synergies, CES is co-located in ISTB-4 with other SDSI facilities and faculty of the Fulton Schools of Engineering, including sustainability and water research experts Morteza Abbaszadagen, Peter Fox, Paul Westerhoff, Tom Seeger and Fulton Schools of Engineering dean Paul Johnson.
"Many of the linkages between the environment and disease begin with the critical issue of water quality, where over a billion people lack access to clean water, and we have assembled at the Fulton Schools a critical mass of the leading water research experts in the country," said Johnson.
The Center has strategic partnerships with the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) School of Public Health, where Halden holds an adjunct faculty appointment in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences; the JHU Center for a Livable Future, where he serves as a scientific advisor; the JHU Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing; the George Washington University School of Public Health & Health Services; as well as various industrial partners.
"Our goal is to work hand-in-hand with citizens and public, private, commercial as well as governmental stakeholders to accelerate the discovery, optimization and implementation of environmental stress control strategies that are founded in environmental engineering and biomedicine," said Halden. "Ultimately, the prescription for a healthy planet and sustainable human wellbeing is to work collaboratively in protecting ecological resources and minimizing vulnerability to environmental threats."

Q: Overlap of Multiple 3D Irregular Polyhedrons in Matlab I have a set of polyhedron each defined by a list of x, y, and z points. I would like to find the resulting polyhedron if I were to overlap the original polyhedrons together.
I have used boundary(x, y, z) to find the bounding triangles of each polyhedron and looked into SAT but couldn't think of any algorithm that could get the vertices of the overlapping polyhedron.
Note: These polyhedrons have 30-40 points each and I have around 5 of them, so any crude brute force method would most likely be too slow.


Jamaica Plain Restaurant Attorneys | Should I hire my own attorney to purchase a restuarant?
Should I hire my own attorney for a restaurant purchase?
I am about to purchase a restaurant in Jamaica Plain from real estate brokers and they are proposing to be the agents for the restaurant sale transaction. They've presented the restaurant's operating expenses and income and positive cash flow. Should I bring in my own attorney to help me purchase this restaurant?
I would strongly recommend hiring an attorney to assist you. For starters you want to have someone review the Purchase and Sale contract, to be sure you understand exactly what you are purchasing – the assets of the business, the fixtures, equipment, furniture, inventory? In addition, you will need to receive a bill of sale for all the items included in the sale, and a representation that the seller owns the items free and clear. A UCC title search is often undertaken to be sure none of the equipment that is part of the transaction is encumbered by a loan. You also need to be sure the agreement you sign obliges the seller to pay all outstanding meal, sales and employment taxes up to the date of the closing.
Our Jamaica Plain Restaurant Attorneys provide legal representation for restaurant transactions and all related matters and serve individuals and business in Jamaica Plain and the Boston Metrowest communities including: Brookline, Watertown, Waltham, Newton, Weston, Wellesley, Needham and Dedham.

Just as allergies are kicking in, it seems like everyone is getting colds too! Caring for your immune system will help reduce the severity of both colds and allergies.
Take a hot Epsom Salt bath. Soaking in the hot tub functions like a fever – it heats up your body causing the viruses to die off and may boost the immune system. The steam also helps to clear your sinuses. Baths are relaxing, and when you're relaxed, your body can prioritize immune function. I always add the Epsom salts to the bath because it's a great way to get more magnesium (which is good for just about everything) and sulfur (which gently supports your spring detoxification). If you're congested, you might want to add a bit of eucalyptus essential oil as well.
Do a shot of water with a drop of oregano oil. This is quite potent, so don't over do it or splash on your face. Do one drop per day until you feel better.
Tea to the rescue! Lemon balm and cats claw tea are antiviral. I usually multitask with both teabags in the same mug. Throat Coat is really nice for soothing your throat, and these herbs are soothing for the rest of your digestive system!
Your gut microbiome health is intimately tied to your health and immune system. So be sure to tenderly care for your microbial friends. Send them some more good guys with probiotic capsules, fermented foods, Fire Cider, Kombucha, and/or Gut Shots. Variety is fun and effective, so it's great to have lots of options on hand. The benefits of a strong, balanced microbiome go way beyond colds and allergies.
Diet to the rescue! In addition to all your fermented fun enjoy hot soups like this one and anything with lots of onions and garlic. Avoid dairy (because it increases mucous) and sugar (because it suppresses the immune system). There are many delicious plant based yogurts, cheeses, and ice creams out there now, so you don't have to be deprived at all.
Daily use of a neti pot washes microbes and allergens from your sinuses, and also clears out accumulated mucous so you can breathe again.
And all that stuff your mom told you… good quality rest, staying hydrated, and stress reduction are all vital for your immune system. In its wisdom, your body will not prioritize healing from the flu when it thinks you're being chased by a tiger! Go to bed by 10, sip water all day, and breathe and relax, and do yoga. Just do it.
A daily teaspoon of raw, local honey can help inform your immune system that pollen is not stranger danger.
Quercetin is a natural antihistamine with additional antioxidant benefits.
I hope you're crushing those New Year's Resolutions! Or moving towards your dreams in a way that makes you feel hopeful and happy. Progress, no matter how tentative, builds momentum and life force energy. There's so much reward even in taking just one step forward.
If you're looking for a little activation energy to get started on your wellness plan, this is where our goals intersect.
I LOVE helping people transform their health the natural and lasting way. I've dedicated decades of my life to learning how to do that through many disciplines, including traditional nutrition, holistic health coaching, functional medicine coaching, yoga, and yoga's sister science Ayurveda. Then I poured the best combination of that knowledge and experience into The Ultimate Rejuvenation Cleanse.
It is a cleanse, and so much more. In this 28-day program, you'll cleanse out toxins, sugar addiction, and inflammation. You'll also infuse yourself with deeply nourishing foods, habits, self care, and perspective shifts. You'll learn experientially which foods serve your unique body and which ones don't.
All these gains will stick around, and propel you towards your goals even after the cleanse is done. This is not one of those one-dimensional, deprivation diets where you drop some pounds and gain it right back plus a few more. The goal of this program is multifaceted nourishment so your body heals, rejuvenates, and you reach your ideal weight almost as a side benefit.
Additionally, you'll cultivate fantastic energy, glowing skin, mental clarity, and profound wellness. You'll learn a lot, get excited and inspired, discover great new things, and have expert support.
The program follows a gentle, luxurious pace. Slow and steady wins the race! In the first seven days, we build a strong self care foundation before we make a single change to our diets. During the second week, we start to make a few dietary shifts towards whole, unprocessed food. The third week is the official full cleanse week, with plenty of delicious food and self care the whole time. Finally, the fourth week is when we test for food sensitivities. Often it's those hidden sensitivities that cause pesky health issues like low energy, weight gain, brain fog, sinus and skin issues, digestive woes, etc. This is a major key to well-being that most people miss.
You'll get a content rich, inspiring email every morning, a 200+ page eBook with everything you need to know about the cleanse plus lots of bonuses, 150+ delicious cleanse friendly recipes, a Quick Start Guide that cuts to the chase, a private Facebook group to chat with me and other cleansers, a few optional live events including 2 conference calls, a shopping trip, and celebration dinner (if you're local).
If this sounds like the perfect program for you right now, let's take that step forward together – join the cleanse today! We can also stay connected on Facebook.
I bet you never heard THIS productivity secret!
There's so much excellent wisdom about increasing productivity that you could get seriously behind in your work researching the many ways to be productive. The books, blog posts, and TED Talks are shiny objects that I cannot resist. However, despite all the time I've spent unlocking the secrets to my productivity, I can't say any of of the techniques became my permanent M.O. I suspect I'm not alone in that.
I do however have a pretty awesome productivity secret of my own that my clients and I have discovered along the way. It's a little different because it's not about setting up systems, planning, or scheduling. It's more about removing what is blocking your mental clarity, energy, and motivation. From your dinner plate.
Surprised? If I had a dime for every client that has been truly astounded at how much more mental clarity and energy they gained by removing gluten from their diet, I'd be able to make a long distance call from a payphone. If I could find one. Here's what one client said after being gluten free for about a month, "I got done in one hour what used to take me all day. The mental fog is totally gone." Other clients (myself included) noticed how much less we procrastinate. Getting things done doesn't feel like such a slog. There is more ease and less resistance. So your work gets done more efficiently, and more effectively as well.
I can't help thinking… if going gluten free can make that much of a difference in productivity for one person, imagine if a whole company did it? Whoa.
Millions of us suffer from what is called "non-Celiac gluten sensitivity". That's when the proteins in gluten don't necessarily cause digestive distress, but they do make you physically fatigued, mentally lethargic, and struggling with motivation. There is a whole spectrum of other conditions that glutlen sensitivity can lead to as well, from annoying to debilitating.
If you're suffering from low energy and mental fog, try removing gluten from your diet for a few weeks and see what happens. Odds are you're going to start feeling a lot better and getting your work done like a boss. Without blood, sweat, or even coffee.
Going gluten free might seem daunting at first because gluten is omnipresent in our diets. But it's really not that difficult once you learn a few tricks. Restaurants are getting on the bandwagon and offering more and more gluten free options.
Do yourself a favor by doing it the right way. Swap all that bread and pasta for nutrient dense whole grains like quinoa, brown or black rice, and other whole food starches like sweet potatoes, not highly processed gluten free white bread and pasta. We want you to get healthier too, not just more productive.
And now a word from our sponsor… In my cleanse, I can show you how to go gluten free (and test for other common food sensitivities), significantly upgrade your nutrition, and get you taking better care of yourself than ever before. When you do that, your vitality, mood, and productivity skyrockets!
Can we talk about Weight Loss?
In the relentless pressure to be thin, many men and women turn to programs and products that promise rapid weight loss. Even though by now, we all know that the process will not be pleasant, it may not be healthy, and any weight loss will probably be temporary.
After years and years, and millions of confirmations of this truth, maybe we should stop the pushing that boulder up the mountain over and over again (unless it's part of our workout), and take a more permanent approach. To be effective, we need to get to the root cause of the weight issues, not just put a temporary Band Aid on it, like we so often do in our society.
When we have been struggling for so long, trying a million things, reading a million blogs and books, we can lose our ability to see clearly and start focusing on wacky things.
Maybe it's not those red apples or bananas, but the late night choco-thon, as my friend Rona realized in one aha moment.
Possibly you don't need to add yet another punishing workout to your schedule, but learn to relax more. Cortisol throws a huge monkey wrench in our weight loss efforts.
Perhaps more than WHAT you're eating, WHY you're eating is the real problem. Stress, procrastination, boredom? We need to learn better ways of dealing with those things.
Of course, most of us could stand to clean up our diets a bit – eat more veggies, drink more water, have less sugar, gluten, and simple carbs, chew better, eat in a more relaxed way, spend a few hours not eating between meals, detox, … etc. All of that makes a big difference, especially when addressed in conjunction with lifestyle choices. That's exactly what we do in our cleanse. We shine a light on all of these aspects, so they work synergistically to give you better, healthier, and more long term results than just starving yourself and doing P90X three times a day. Which, incidentally, can stress out your body and make it even harder to lose weight.
In the functional medicine world, we flip the usual viewpoint upside down. Instead of focusing solely on weight loss, we see weight loss as a natural side benefit of getting healthier. Maybe this is the year to get off that torturous, ineffective hamster wheel and focus on the best way to nourish, care for, and love ourselves, and find our ideal weight the real way. The more pleasant way. The permanent way. Try our cleanse this year… you'll be so glad you did. Wishing you so much amazingness in 2019!
In our quest for health and vitality, we focus so much on the "input" that we forget the importance of the "output". We can eat this, not eat that, take all these supplements, and stay hydrated, but if we're not pooping regularly, we're not going to achieve the wellness we are seeking.
Picture your fridge… you put all sorts of fresh veggies in the produce drawer. But if you don't move them through there quickly enough, it's all going to rot, make a mess and stink up the fridge, and you're not going to benefit from all the nutrients the veggies contained.
Same with your digestive system… you eat all these luscious fruits and veggies, clean protein, fiber, healthy fats, etc. If you don't digest them well and efficiently, they will in essence rot in your gut, and all the toxins and junk your body wanted to expel will get reabsorbed into your blood stream, causing a vicious cycle of toxicity and impaired function. There's a reason you feel a little polluted when you're constipated.
Health coaches will often ask their clients if they're regular, and the client says oh yes, I go #2 regularly. Only later to find out that regular for that client meant once a week. No bueno! Some people have been irregular for so long they think it's normal.
To be clear – regularity is a nice, easy, complete bowel movement every morning. There may be a sense of lightness, emptiness, and energy when you're done. It's okay and good to have another one later in the day too (which can happen if you're really hydrated). Interestingly, how your poo looks can even reveal a lot about your health. Check out this handy, dandy doody chart!
Low magnesium status. Magnesium is important for muscle contraction and relaxation, both of which are vital for good bowel movements. Low magnesium is unfortunately becoming more and more common as our soils are depleted of nutrients. Different forms of magnesium are helpful for different issues. Magnesium citrate is especially good for constipation (and can cause loose stools when taken in excess of your needs).
Dehydration. Almost no one drinks enough water. The best way to stay hydrated is to drink a couple large glasses of room temperature water upon waking. Then sip water every half hour throughout the day. Try not to drink a lot immediately before or right after meals, so that you don't dilute your precious digestive juices.
If you fully implement these three strategies and still suffer, you may wish to schedule a consultation with Charlotte Ott, our resident constipation expert. She loves talking about poopin'!
Last week, we discussed some of the ways glyphosate (the main ingredient in the herbicide Roundup) is undermining our health and how you can reduce glyphosate residues by switching to organic wheat. To take it one step further, wheat itself can be problematic for many people even without the glyphosate. One of the most significant ways is that gluten (the protein in wheat, rye, barley, farro, and spelt), increases intestinal permeability through increasing levels of zonulin.
This folks, is the origin of allergies, food sensitivities, and even autoimmune conditions, and why Functional Medicine doctors believe that all disease begins in the gut.
In fact, there is a whole spectrum of gluten-related health issues documented in the medical research. A review in The New England Journal of Medicine listed fifty-five diseases that can be caused by eating gluten, covering the gamut from inflammatory bowel diseases, fatigue, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and mental health issues. Twenty million Americans suffer from a gluten-related health issue without even realizing it. They're taking medications for their migraines, pain, anxiety, etc, but they're just treating the symptom, not the root cause.
If you don't have Celiac disease (an autoimmune disease triggered by gluten) or suffer from other severe symptoms from gluten, we have a totally do-able, moderate approach to this gluten problem. We are big believers in the 90-10 (or 80-20) approach, where what you do most of the time determines your health outcomes, with wiggle room for a few indulgences here and there. So occasionally we'll have some wheat, whether in a nice crusty bread, homemade banana bread, or pasta dish when we're eating out. But 90% of the time, we choose gluten free whole grains or no grains at all.
You can make ALL KINDS of delicious meals with these ideas (check out some of our recipes). You'll not only be avoiding glyphosate and gluten, but you'll be getting even more nutrients than if you were eating processed, refined white bread or pasta.
The gluten free aisle offers a huge selection of highly processed gluten free alternatives – breads, cookies, brownies, pastas, cereals, etc. These are fine for a very occasional indulgence, but are not healthy options, even though they don't have gluten. Because they are so processed, they are kind of like eating pure sugar, with a high glycemic index, lots of calories, and barely any nutrients. This is one of the reasons people can gain weight when going gluten free.
Although bread is yummy, we were never supposed to eat it with reckless abandon at every meal. Switching over to whole food, gluten free alternatives most of the time can make you feel better in so many ways! And it's not even that weird – and actually starts to feel pretty normal after a while.
Functional Medicine, a discipline that focuses on addressing the root causes of disease (instead of treating symptoms), recognizes the gut as the starting point of so much dis-ease that we experience today, including food allergies, joint pain, autoimmunity, fatigue, inflammation, and more. These seemingly unrelated conditions can all have the same root cause – a leaky gut.
It is a state of enhanced (and not in a good way) intestinal permeability. The intestine, the barrier between the outside world and our inner body, is only one cell thick. The cells are glued together by "tight junctions", which prevent large, undigested food particles from entering the blood stream. Ideally, everything is broken down into very small components before being safely absorbed into the body.
But sometimes the tight junctions get a little more permeable and allow food particles that haven't been fully broken down to enter the blood. Not recognizing these particles, the immune system mounts a defensive reaction. Going forward, the immune system gets activated every time you eat that food. This is a very common cause of food allergies/sensitivities. This constant immune activation causes increased systemic inflammation, which can show up in the joints (causing arthritic symptoms), the skin (causing eczema, acne, psoriasis…), the brain (resulting in mental fog), metabolism (causing weight gain and low energy). It can even progress to an autoimmune dynamic, where the immune system starts attacking the body's own tissues like the thyroid. This is just a short list! Since everything in the body is interconnected, the potential effects of a leaky gut are endless.
Yes! Follow the 5 R's of gut healing. This is an order of operations that have been found to be most effective for healing. The order is important, but oftentimes the stages will overlap. The timing and exact approach will vary depending on individual circumstances.
Remove what's causing the issue – for example; foods you're allergic or sensitive to such as gluten and dairy (this may only be necessary for a few months), toxins, stress, foods that feed undesired microbes like excess sugar, unnecessary medications.
Replace what's missing – for example; digestive enzymes, stomach acid, bile acids, adrenal/thyroid/immune support.
Reinoculate – with probiotics, prebiotics, cultured foods, dietary fiber.
Repair any damage to the intestinal lining – with mucilaginous herbs that soothe the digestive tract (such as slippery elm, marshmallow, and licorice) and zinc carnosine, vitamin D, potentially L-glutamine (if tolerated), and foods like okra, chia, flaxseed, artichoke, legumes, and warm vegetable broth on an empty stomach.
Rebalance – long term dietary changes, stress reduction, and eating hygiene.
Once you heal intestinal permeability and food intolerances, many seemingly unrelated symptoms can resolve. It's so worth the effort! Please contact us if you would like individual guidance.

PM slated to visit Kedarnath on May 18
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to visit the Kedarnath shrine on May 18. During his proposed visit to this shrine in the Rudraprayag district, he is slated to offer prayers to the lord Kedarnath. Top officials of the state are reported to have inspected the arrangements in Kedarnath ahead of the proposed visit of the prime minister.
According to official sources, the State administration has received details of the prime minister's proposed Kedarnath visit. A team of the Special Protection Group (SPG) has also arrived in the district. The inspector general of the SPG is also slated to arrive in Kedarnath to inspect the arrangements on May 15. According to the Rudraprayag district administration, preparations have been started for the proposed visit of the prime minister to the shrine.
Modi's proposed visit to this Himalayan shrine to lord Shiva is set to take place a few days before counting of votes polled in the Lok Sabha election. He is said to have a special connection with the Kedarnath shrine, also having spent some time in the region before entering active politics. During the past two years, he has visited Kedarnath on three occasions- twice in 2017 and once in 2018. The Kedarnath reconstruction project started after the 2013 disaster wreaked destruction around the shrine and in the valley, is stated to be one of the dream projects of the prime minister. Apart from reviewing the reconstruction during his last visit to the shrine, he has also reviewed the reconstruction project work on various occasions through video conferencing and drone imagery.
It is pertinent to mention here that one of the Char Dham shrines in Uttarakhand- the Kedarnath shrine was recently reopened to the public on May 9 after remaining closed for six months of winter.
