Severino tosses 7 innings of no-hit ball for Yanks
Gerald Ravindran
Marly RiveraESPN Writer
Marly Rivera is a writer for ESPNdeportes.com and ESPN.com.
ARLINGTON, Texas — New York Yankees starter Luis Severino was in full ace form Monday night at Globe Life Field, when he completed seven innings in his longest career no-hit bid.
Severino threw 94 pitches and struck out seven batters in the Yankees' 3-1 victory over the Texas Rangers.
Miguel Castro, fresh off the 60-day IL due to shoulder issues, came in relief of Severino and struck out the first batter he faced, Rangers designated hitter Adolis Garcia. Third baseman Josh Jung then came up and lined a 98 MPH fastball just over the reach of rookie Oswald Peraza for the first Rangers' hit of the evening.
The Rangers went on to score their first run of the game off Castro on a Kole Calhoun groundout.
New York manager Aaron Boone was seen having an extended conversation with Severino in the dugout after he closed out the seventh inning with a 99 MPH fastball for a strikeout. Boone could be seen on the broadcast cameras apparently telling Severino that he could not allow him to continue.
This was Severino's third start since coming off the 60-day injured list with a low-grade right lat strain. The 28-year-old had been very open about his disappointment when the Yankees, needing to make several roster moves, transferred him to the 60-day IL in the beginning of August after being initially placed on the 15-day IL.
But Monday's performance, and where he's at with his stuff, could put him in the No. 2 position in New York's postseason rotation behind Gerrit Cole.
The veteran right-hander pushed his record to 7-3, throwing 63 strikes while improving his ERA to 3.18.
The performance stole a bit of the spotlight from New York slugger Aaron Judge, who went 1 for 4 on the night. Judge is still in pursuit of his 62nd home run, which would set a new American League single-season record and push him past Yankees great Roger Maris.
Severino's performance brought back memories of a New York no-hitter in the same ballpark last season. On May 22, 2021, right-handed veteran Corey Kluber no-hit the Rangers in a 2-0 victory. Kluber now pitches for the Tampa Bay Rays.
Marwin Gonzalez and Giancarlo Stanton homered in the Yankees' victory. It was Stanton's 30th of the season.

Here's Why 'Pokemon Grey' Never Happened
By Christian Hoffer - September 5, 2017 01:43 pm EDT
There's a thematic reason why Game Freak never made a long-rumored Pokemon Grey series. In a recent interview with Game Informer, Junichi Masuda explained why Game Freak opted for Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 over a standalone sequel like in past generations. "A lot of people were expecting Pokemon Gray at the time, but the concept of Black and White was kind of these opposing forces – a yin-yang kind of thing. If we went with Gray, it would have moved away from that concept so we decided to keep the titles there."
Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 marked a major departure for the Pokemon franchise, as Game Freak had previously opted to make a "solitary game" when following up with one of their core pairs of games. Pokemon Red and Blue had Pokemon Yellow, Pokemon Gold and Silver had Crystal, Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire had Emerald, and Pokemon Diamond and Pearl had Platinum.
But Pokemon Black and 2 was the first time Game Freak had made a direct sequel within a single generation. Although not the first sequels (Pokemon Gold and Silver hold that distinction), Black 2 and White 2 were the first games to break away from making a "trilogy" of games, a tradition that the Pokemon franchise has never returned to. After making no follow-up games for Pokemon X and Y, Game Freak is about to release Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, an "alternate storyline" from the original Pokemon Sun and Moon games.
In the same interview, Masuda also indicated that there were no plans to stop releasing remakes of older Pokemon games. "I don't think we're focused exclusively on making all new stuff," Masuda said. "I think it's important – the nostalgia factor is one thing – to give these memories, this content, another chance to shine for new players. And as a player myself I enjoy that kind of thing, as well."
Remakes of older Pokemon games have become somewhat of a tradition for the franchise, beginning with the release of Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen nearly 13 years ago. Players are now hoping for a remake of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, which has been fueled by a recent re-emphasis of Gen 4 Pokemon in merchandise and the latest movie.

Sam Smith: I don't identify as male or female
The singer has opened up about his gender identity for the first time in an interview with the actress Jameela Jamil.

Image: Sam Smith has revealed he is non-binary on Instagram
Singer Sam Smith has revealed he does not identify as male or female during an interview for an Instagram channel.
The 26-year-old, who came out as homosexual at the age of 10, opened up about being non-binary in a 30-minute discussion with Jameela Jamil on her "I Weigh" show.
He said: "You are just you. You are a mixture of all different things. You are your own special creation. That's how I see it.
"I'm not male or female. I think I float somewhere in between.
"When I saw the word 'non-binary', and I read into it, and I heard these people speaking and I was like, 'that is me'."
In the premier episode of I Weigh Interviews, Jameela Jamil discusses fame, body image and the daily practice of self acceptance with musician Sam Smith.
A post shared by Jameela Jamil (@jameelajamilofficial) on Mar 15, 2019 at 12:58am PDT
The Writing's On The Wall singer revealed he had considered having a sex change, but had decided it wasn't something he really wanted.
He said: "I do think like a woman sometimes, in my head, and I've sometimes say down and questions, 'do I want a sex change?'

"And it's something that I still think about. Do I want to, but I don't think it is.
"I've always been very free in terms of thinking about sexuality. You fall in love with people, not genitals. I've tried to change that into my thoughts on gender... I'm feminine in many ways - and I've resented that."
Image: Sam Smith pictured at the Oscars in 2016
Many non-binary people do not identify as either male or female and refer to themselves as they or them, rather than he or she.
Smith added: "Now I'm 26, when it comes to money and success I feel like a 40-year-old. When it comes to my romantic life and personal relationships with my body and my head, I feel like a confused 16-year-old boy, so it's hard."
The singer won an Oscar for best original song for the Spectre theme tune in 2016, and dedicated his award to "the LGBT community all over the world".
In his speech, he said: "I stand here as a proud gay man and I hope we can one day still stand together as equals."

"Modesty is not the goal. Liberation is the goal," says Syrian American artist Mona Haydar of why she wears the hijab. "It's liberation from the beauty-industrial complex, liberation from the male gaze, liberation from our egos." Haydar is a Muslim rapper, poet, and activist whose music video "Hijabi (Wrap My Hijab)" is part of Contemporary Muslim Fashions, an exhibition opening at the de Young Museum on September 22. The show follows on the very high heels of the museum's blockbuster fashion exhibitions celebrating designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Yves Saint Laurent, and Jean Paul Gaultier. But it departs from those showcases by spotlighting traditions that don't always adhere to Western standards of beauty and that come wrapped in cultural and religious complexities.
It's also a profitable stance. Practitioners of Islam make up 24 percent of the world's population, and they spend $254 billion per year on clothing (a figure expected to rise to $373 billion by 2022). If you've never heard of the "Muslim modest" fashion market, maybe don't mention that if you're applying for a job at a global apparel brand. Over the past few years, American Eagle, Carolina Herrera, DKNY, Dolce & Gabbana, H&M, Mango, Tommy Hilfiger, and Uniqlo all offered collections that observed modest Muslim dress codes. In its Fall/Winter 2018 presentations, Max Mara sent Somali American Muslim model Halima Aden down the runway in a hijab and a floor-skimming maxi skirt. And Nike released its Pro Hijab in December 2017, with a headline-grabbing campaign that featured Muslim athletes such as Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, Emirati figure skater Zahra Lari, and German boxer Zeina Nassar.
The de Young exhibition will showcase more than 100 contemporary looks from both big-name brands and upstart designers. Mannequins draped in the latest fashions will appear next to images from magazines, social media, and recent runway shows. And accompanying text will offer viewers a primer on the political, social, and economic ramifications of the fashion movement—in 2017, the New York Times' chief fashion critic, Vanessa Friedman, declared modest fashion the defining trend of the decade.

52,242 Turn Out for Minnesota United's Final Home Match of 2018
On Sunday, October 21, Minnesota United hosted the visiting Los Angeles Galaxy and set a new record for a Minnesota soccer team as they welcomed 52,242 fans to TCF Bank Stadium. The University of Minnesota venue has been the team's home for the last two years, and they closed out their stint there before opening Allianz Field in 2019 with a 3-1 loss to a Galaxy side playing for their playoff lives.
JOIN THE PRESERVE
Minnesota United began the game — as they have in several recent contests — on the front foot. Just 33 seconds in, midfielder Darwin Quintero got a good look off a pass from midfielder Collen Warner that he fired in on goal, but which goalkeeper David Bingham easily swallowed. The opening minutes overall, though, featured a Loons team playing with a bit of an edge, building up possession effectively. Defensively, every player was trying and largely succeeding in closing out his man and getting a foot or head on every ball that came their way.
"It gave a little bit of extra adrenaline in the beginning and that showed a little bit," said defender Brent Kallman, referring to the record-setting crowd. "We seemed to be a little nervy and a little jumpy in the first half. It took us longer than usual to settle into the game and that could have had a little bit to do with it. Everyone was just so fired up. It was an experience for sure."
Quintero and forward Angelo Rodriguez rang up more chances early on from pressing high and making the most of Galaxy turnovers, but all it took was a momentary slip in focus to let Los Angeles get the upper hand. In the 30th minute — after largely managing to keep Galaxy players from getting a head on any ball served into the box — the defense relaxed just a bit on defender Rolf Feltscher's cross from the right wing and forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic pounced on the opportunity, placing a header into the back of the goal and putting LA on top 1-0.
"He's been an outstanding player," said Head Coach Adrian Heath. "I think we all know how big and strong he is, but people forget he's all talent. The ball he plays for their third goal, you know, a yard further forward, a year behind, it's no chance. Now, for some younger people who had probably been at the game for the first time, they got a chance to witness one of the great players in the last 20 years in European and world football."
To their credit, Minnesota didn't fold down the stretch of the first half. In the 39th minute, defender Francisco Calvo caught the backline napping and made a long run from the left back position all the way to the front as the ball moved down the right sideline, but the cross into him that resulted in a goal came in a hair late and he was called offside. In the final five minutes of the first half, the Loons did their best to draw level but had to head into the locker room down a goal.
After the break, the Galaxy came out with a vengeance and a real hunger to push get a more comfortable lead. In the 49th minute, defender Michael Boxall made a dramatic goalline save after a run through the left side of the box pulled goalkeeper Matt Lampson out of net. Boxall barely got a toe on a ball headed for the back of the net and cleared it out. But on the next attack, the Loons would not be so fortunate. Ashley Cole picked up a long lead pass in the 50th minute and dinked it over to forward Ola Kamara who finished it easily to double the visitors' lead.
Barely a minute later, it was the Galaxy again as Ibrahimovic struck a long, curving pass across the top of the box and found midfielder Romain Alessandrini, who fired in a volley and give Los Angeles a 3-0 lead.
"I think we have moments in games – we have lapses in games – that cost us dearly. You know, we make a mistake for the second goal, then we go and make another one two seconds later. Now the game is over. Up until then, the game was very much alive for us. We started well. I thought the first two or three better chances were for us. I thought our marking in the box was poor for Zlatan's first goal. And two poor mistakes from us after that. I can't fault the effort to the guys to get back in it when we did. But, it's the mistakes that we make that prove costly for us. It's something that we have to irradiate because it costs us dearly in most games."
The Loons showed some life in the 54th minute when Quintero found Rodriguez with a long pass from the right wing. Rodriguez headed it in and got the game to 3-1, but that was as close as the home side would get, despite a few promising efforts that were called back for offside or came up short.
"We always try to do well during the week to give [the fans] joy on the weekend," said Rodriguez. "Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but truthfully I'm amazed [by their support]. I came from a team that was just crowned champion, finishes in first place and doesn't fill the stadium. Here, every weekend you see a full stadium."
Minnesota United will close out its 2018 season next week on the road against Columbus Crew SC in a game that kicks off at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 28. Pregame coverage begins at 3:00 p.m. on FOX Sports North, streaming on FOX Sports GO and on MNUFC Radio on 1500 ESPN.

Which Way Round?
The Coast's Favourite Regatta
The annual Round Saltspring Race has evolved over 45 years into a whole weekend of celebrations, and has been called "the best regatta on the coast" by participants. Up to 120 boats participate in the Saturday race around the island, from maxi-boats to small club racers. By Friday night the Club docks are alive with activity as boats raft together, flags flying. Because the course offers unique challenges such as tidal currents and variable conditions, it's a great test of tactics, seamanship, navigation and sailing ability. From year to year, it can be anyone's race to win.
Round Saltspring Course – the traditional course around Saltspring Island and the rocky outlying bits is approximately 42 NM in length. The direction of sailing (clockwise, or counter-clockwise) is not determined until the Skippers Meeting on Saturday. Conditions and speed vary from year to year. Over the past years, corrected time for the first place boat has ranged from 6:03:27 to 14:02:57.

Dancing Astronaut presents the Top 10 Digital Events of 2020
by: Dancing Astronaut Dec 24, 2020
Electronic dance music's culture is deeply rooted in the live experience—the music and the live setting inextricably tied in a way that perhaps supersedes any other musical genre out there. As live events started to drop off the calendar this past spring, there was no way of knowing the global health crisis we were beginning to face would not only cancel the vast majority of live music events in 2020, but it would fundamentally alter our understanding, and appreciation for, the live events industry as a whole.
But then something remarkable happened. We saw a rapid, decisive shift to virtual settings, relying on technology to bring us a semblance of the live experience we so voracious crave. So that if we couldn't be together on dancefloors, at the very least we'd have digitized spaces to convene and enjoy music with one another. And the pivot wasn't some haphazard patch job either. Villages of talented creators got right to work, creating brilliant virtual worlds for us to experience while reality was much less inviting. It wasn't perfect, because nothing beats actually being together under the electric sky, or in Grant Park, LA Historic, or the fields of Boom, Belgium, but it was enough to get us by. For that we're thankful. Read below to see Dancing Astronaut's Top 10 Digital Events of the Year.
10. Cercle's 2020 Lineup
Cercle's video production has carried its own distinctive style, which has become almost instantly recognizable. Their projects are built upon a common goal of sharing remarkable electronic music in unique, breathtaking locations reaching all corners of the world. In 2020, Cercle showcased their most ambitious projects yet, including Lee Burridge off the shores of Bali, ZHU in Japan's snow-capped mountains, Ben Böhmer floating through the Turkish skies in a hot air balloon and most recently, Sébastien Léger in front of Egypt's Great Pyramids. Cercle's sleek and explorative work has shined exceptionally this year, becoming one of the most sought-after mediums to capture an artist's creative vision and amplify it to the world.
9. Sofi Tucker's consistent livestreams
Shout out to SOFI TUKKER, who have masterfully championed the livestream game this year. Since the first lockdown in early April, the bubbly dance-pop duo joined Twitch and started playing daily hour-long sets for their dedicated "Freak Fam," and haven't stopped since. By the end of the year, they'll be approaching one of their most unique milestones, capping in at more than a staggering 300 livestreams to round out 2020. Among the duo's numerous releases this year was their chart-topping collaboration "House Arrest" with Gorgon City, remixes for friends like Dillon Francis and their first-ever live, interactive e-concert experience, bringing an unparalleled virtual aspect to their live music production.
8. Kaskade's 60 Days of Music performance at the Grand Canyon
As one of this genre's foremost cultural tastemakers, Kaskade has always been one to set the bar—and set it high. In typical Kaskade fashion, his once-in-a-lifetime livestream event for Coca-Cola's 60 Days of Music certainly followed suit. As the first artist ever to station at the Grand Canyon's Skywalk West, the esteemed producer was tracked by multiple cameras, bestowing fans with a full view of the immaculate landscape of one of the Wonders of the World. Ushering forth enticing and ethereal house beats during the height of the pandemic, Kaskade brought life to millions of viewers worldwide with this top-notch performance.
7. Lollapalooza's Lolla2020
Michelle Obama at your music festivals? Sign us up. Lollapalooza has always hosted a wide array of nonmusical experiences in addition to a variety of musical genres at their annual event. This has differentiated the festival brand for years, and their 2020 virtual rendition was no exception. The festival curated a stellar lineup of artists to perform live in addition to featuring reruns of artist performances from years past. Lolla2020 also invited a variety of tastemakers ranging from Ms. Obama to Charles Reagan, giving a completely new dynamic to live streamed musical events.
6. Insomniac's digital programming
Normally we look to festival giant Insomniac for events the world over throughout the entire year. As dance music's most formidable events lynchpin, all eyes were on Pasquale Rotella and company to help guide us through a gutted events calendar, and Insomniac more than delivered. With consistent weekly programming, digitized renditions of existing major events properties, a trove of recorded performances, park 'n rave events, and a hopeful outlook for 2021 with the announcement of new upcoming (hopefully) in-person events, Insomniac kept us raving in our living rooms all year, earning a deserved spot on this list.
5. Astronomical by Travis Scott in Fortnite
If there's one thing virtual concerts did this year, it's raising global awareness of the "Metaverse"—a virtual world where people connect via avatars. In a way, it's always existed within online gaming, however, 2020 brought this universe into the spotlight and the music industry quickly moved in. Early on, Travis Scott's 2020 Fortnite performance proved to a historic event for the virtual landscape.
The concert, titled "Astronomical" as an ode to 2018's ASTROWORLD, reeled in over 12 million concurrent Fortnite players who were mesmerized by Scott transforming into a cyborg, submerging the stage under water, and bringing out Kid Cudi for a surprise debut of their new project "THE SCOTTS." Scott uploaded the full concert to his YouTube channel, which has more than 114 million views to date. This was a record-breaking event for Epic Games, and planted the seed for follow up performances from Diplo, Deadmau5, Anderson .Paak, and more.
4. Dillon Francis Presents: IDGAFOS Weekend
Fact: Dillon Francis really doesn't give a f*ck or shit. So much so that when COVID-19 cancelled this year's festival season, he took things into his own hands. Francis hit the drawing board and invited Dancing Astronaut to co-host his three-day IDGAFOS Weekend livestream festival. Held over the Memorial Day weekend, viewers were privy to sets from top-tier talent like Diplo, Aluna, SOFI TUKKER, and Party Favor, crafty cool-down vinyl sessions hosted by Billy Zane, and a rare performance from Francis' long-time confidante Gerald.
3. Porter Robinson's Secret Sky
On May 9, more than 4 million people around the world tuned into Porter Robinson's Secret Sky experience. The digital event, which served as the follow-up to the festival's 2019 in-person debut, spanned over a total of 14 hours of music from 19 unique acts whose talents were put on display and helped amass more than $100,000 in donations in support of the MusiCares Relief Fund. Virtually equipped with a fully automated performance auditorium, attendees were able to digitally interact with their festival surroundings, including merchandise booths, a main stage, and more.
Notably, Robinson opened the event with a throwback electro-house style performance under the moniker of DJ Potaro, for 30 minutes fans were able to reminisce upon the sound which originally emerged the artist back in the early 2010s. The artist showcase proceeded to be filled in by the likes of Madeon, Jai Wolf, Shadient, San Holo, GRRL, WAVEDASH and G Jones among others. The event's most anticipated performance from Porter Robinson set social media ablaze throughout his 72-minute performance as it hosted 250,000 concurrent viewers while Porter went everywhere from a "Something Comforting" versus "Sad Machine" mashup to a Lil B personal freestyle to an Avril Lavigne vs. "Language" edit to an unreleased single from Nurture. Relive Porter Robinson's historic Secret Sky virtual festival here.
2. Digital Mirage
While certainly not downplaying any of the virtual events that had taken place in the weeks preceding Digital Mirage, the electronic music world, and the industry music at large, had next to zero inclination as to what the future held for live entertainment at the end of March. Deciding to take the digital leap and test the airwaves, Proximity partnered up alongside Brownies & Lemonade to round up an A-list registry of names of everyone from Kaskade to Alison Wonderland for three back-to-back days of dance music. With the world quarantining at home as details surrounding an uncertain pandemic came in by the hour, it felt like everyone was watching, and considering how many times Digital Mirage or a performing artist was trending on Twitter, everyone was. Digital Mirage had no festival-grade production setups or world-class visual effects, artists simply found a way to set up a stream from the comfort of their homes and brought electronic music back to its roots. Although there were certainly a fair share of virtual events that had their moments, nothing seemed to eclipse the emotions felt during the first Digital Mirage, which ended up raising more than $300,000 for Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. Eight months and three Digital Mirage iterations later, it's clear that without Proximity and Brownies & Lemonade firmly establishing the online tone for what live entertainment would become in the months that would follow, virtual festivals may not have filled the gap as well as they did during 2020.
1. Tomorrowland Around The World
Whether it is the size, the production quality, or the lineup of artists, Tomorrowland is for the most part, unmatched year after year. When the festival made the decision to go online, the brand could have chosen to match the production quality that had become a relative industry standard for virtual events, or they could redefine what those standards were. In true Tomorrowland fashion, organizers opted for "larger than life" and got to work. The Tomorrowland masterminds created the virtual world of Pāpiliōnem that hosted performances by over 60 artists across eight stages. Viewers were immersed into an entirely new world that took a combination of four separate studios, 38 digital cameras, and over 300 terabytes of raw footage to piece together into its final production. Dimitri Vegas sums up Tomorrowland Around The World when he says, "This is not a livestream. It's something totally different."

Q: awk script not behaving correctly when run over ssh When running an awk script via ssh, I'm getting output which would more correctly be filtered:
$ ssh -q hostname '(awk "!/^#/ && \$3 ~ /ext/ && \$2 != "/" && \$2 != "/opt" { print \$2 }" /proc/mounts)'
/
/boot
/opt
/apps
/log
/data

$ ssh -q hostname 'awk "!/^#/ && \$3 ~ /ext/ && \$2 != "/" && \$2 != "/opt" { print \$2 }" /proc/mounts'
/
/boot
/opt
/apps
/log
/data

A: Passing your code in as a quoted heredoc avoids having it parsed by the remote shell before being passed to awk:
ssh -q hostname 'awk -f - /proc/mounts' <<'EOF'
  !/^#/ && $3 ~ /ext/ && $2 != "/" && $2 != "/opt" { print $2 }
EOF

A: One way to debug it is to use eval and echo on your command argument:
eval 'echo "!/^#/ && \$3 ~ /ext/ && \$2 != "/" && \$2 != "/opt" { print \$2 }"'

Output:
!/^#/ && $3 ~ /ext/ && $2 != / && $2 != /opt { print $2 }

Which shows that it's not a valid awk command argument. You still need to add the quotes:
eval 'echo "!/^#/ && \$3 ~ /ext/ && \$2 != \"/\" && \$2 != "\"/opt\"" { print \$2 }"'

Output:
!/^#/ && $3 ~ /ext/ && $2 != "/" && $2 != "/opt" { print $2 }

Which seems correct. Now putting it all together:
ssh -q hostname 'awk "!/^#/ && \$3 ~ /ext/ && \$2 != \"/\" && \$2 != "\"/opt\"" { print \$2 }" /proc/mounts'

Google employees are systematically listening to audio files recorded by Google Home smart speakers and the Google Assistant smartphone app. Throughout the world – so also in Belgium and the Netherlands – people at Google listen to these audio files to improve Google's search engine. VRT NWS was able to listen to more than a thousand recordings. Most of these recordings were made consciously, but Google also listens to conversations that should never have been recorded, some of which contain sensitive information.
Lente Van Hee, Ruben Van Den Heuvel, Tim Verheyden, Denny Baert
Since Google launched its Google Home device in 2016, millions of people have installed one of these smart speaker devices at home or in their office. You can ask it all sorts of trivial questions.
usage worldwide
Expert Tim Verheyden
The analysis of our voices by Google is perfectly acceptable, but not listening in to our most intimate moments witho...
Rupert De Weerd
If you ask 'Okay Google, how's the traffic heading towards Brussels?', the device automatically switches on and a computer voice will read out the latest traffic information. Seems very useful, right? You can do the same thing with the Google Assistant app on your smartphone, comparable to Apple's Siri.
Everything is recorded
Not everyone is aware of the fact that everything you say to your Google smart speakers and your Google Assistant is being recorded and stored. But that is clearly stated in Google's terms and conditions. And what people are certainly not aware of, simply because Google doesn't mention it in its terms and conditions, is that Google employees can listen to excerpts from those recordings.
Google has continually claimed that it doesn't eavesdrop. Google Holland even made a smooth YouTube 'explainer' to remove any misconceptions about eavesdropping. In this video, Google employees answer the question 'Does Google eavesdrop?'. They say that the commands are being stored and transferred to Google for analysis. And they very clearly state: 'No, you are not being eavesdropped'.
This is undeniably my own voice
Surprised man
Google does listen in
It is true that Google does not eavesdrop directly, but VRT NWS discovered that it is listening in. Or rather: that it lets people listen in. We let ordinary Flemish people hear some of their own recordings. 'This is undeniably my own voice', says one man, clearly surprised.
A couple from Waasmunster immediately recognise the voice of their son and their grandchild.
What did we do? VRT NWS was able to listen to more than a thousand excerpts recorded via Google Assistant. In these recordings we could clearly hear addresses and other sensitive information. This made it easy for us to find the people involved and confront them with the audio recordings.
Why is Google listening in?
In the aftermath of the Amazon case, we were able to talk to someone who works for a Google subcontractor. He let us take a look at the system that collects audio via Google Assistant. Thousands of employees worldwide use this system to listen to audio excerpts. In Flanders and Holland, around a dozen people listen to Dutch recordings.
Why is Google storing these recordings and why does it have employees listening to them? They are not interested in what you are saying, but the way you are saying it. Google's computer system consists of smart, self-learning algorithms. And in order to understand the subtle differences and characteristics of the Dutch language, it still needs to learn a lot.
Sometimes Google's search engine has difficulty analysing a certain speech command. When that is the case, they put this command in Google's online tool Crowdsource. By the way, if you want to help Google get better at describing images and facial expressions, everyone can use this tool (for free).
We have 3 sources confirming that this is the way Google works
What you will not find in this free tool, is the part where you can describe audio recordings. Google subcontracts that task to outside professionals. They log in to a secure part of the tool that has a list of the audio excerpts they have to analyse. We have three sources confirming that this is the way Google works.
Speech recognition automatically generates a script of the recordings. Employees then have to double check to describe the excerpt as accurately as possible: is it a woman's voice, a man's voice or a child? What do they say? They write out every cough and every audible comma. These descriptions are constantly improving Google's search engines, which results in better reactions to commands. One of our sources explains how this works.
Most recordings made via Google Home smart speakers are very clear. Recordings made with Google Assistant, the smartphone app, are of telephone quality. But the sound is not distorted in any way.
Anonymous?
Knowing that people who work for Google indirectly are listening to such recordings raises questions about privacy. In order to avoid excerpts being automatically linked to a user, they are disconnected from the user's information. They delete the user name and replace it with an anonymous serial number. But, as shown in one of the videos above, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to recover someone's identity; you simply have to listen carefully to what is being said.
What's more, if they don't know how it is written, these employees have to look up every word, address, personal name or company name on Google or on Facebook. In that way, they often soon discover the identity of the person speaking.
Sex...
VRT NWS listened to more than a thousand excerpts, 153 of which were conversations that should never have been recorded and during which the command 'Okay Google' was clearly not given.
But as soon as someone in the vicinity utters a word that sounds a bit like 'Okay Google', Google Home starts to record.
This means that a lot of conversations are recorded unintentionally: bedroom conversations, conversations between parents and their children, but also blazing rows and professional phone calls containing lots of private information.
Mistaken recordings can also occur when someone presses the wrong button on his or her phone or unintentionally gives a command.
... and violence
One of our three independent sources says he had to describe a recording where he heard a woman who was in definite distress. What are employees supposed to do with such information? We are told that there are no clear guidelines regarding such cases. It is, however, an important ethical matter. Employees only receive specific directions when it comes to account numbers and passwords. Those are marked as sensitive information.
The people that analyse these recordings also overhear lots of medical questions. You wouldn't be the first to consult Doctor Google when you have some sort of illness.
The recordings also strikingly confirm one of the Internet's rules: men seem to look for porn a lot, even via smart speakers.
Professional confidentiality
When we confront him with our findings, Bavo Van den Heuvel, a cyber security expert, says: 'This is shocking.' He immediately points out the possible dangers: these recordings can be made anywhere, in a doctor's surgery, for example, or in a police or judicial context, where people are dealing with sensitive, private matters.
This is shocking
Bavo Van den Heuvel, cyber security expert
Google reacts: "This work is crucial to develop new technologies"
In a reaction on the VRT's report, Google admits that it works with language experts worldwide to improve speech technology. "This happens by making transcripts of of a small number of audio files", Google's spokesman for Belgium says. He adds that "this work is of crucial importance to develop technologies sustaining products such as the Google Assistant." Google states that their language experts only judge "about 0.2 percent of all audio fragments". These are not linked to any personal or identifiable information, the company adds.
If you have a Google Home speaker and don't want to be recorded unintentionally, read this: How to prevent Google eavesdropping (in Dutch).
Google is not the only company that works this way. In April, the Bloomberg news agency revealed that American internet giant Amazon also does it. Bloomberg also had evidence that, just like Google, Apple subcontracted people to train its well-known Siri search assistant.

Hull Daily Mail – The Last Suppers
Hull Daily Mail – Last Suppers Story
As a freelance press press photographer, I love looking for a good opportunity for a decent image and story. This one didn't disappoint.
To see the original story, see this link: http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/suppers-Beer-lovers-drink-Hull-church-dry/story-18778547-detail/story.html#ixzz3TS3Aygqi [Opens in a new window]
Or read about it, from my archive here:
"IT IS unlikely to ever feature in the Good Pub Guide but Hull's Holy Trinity Church, chosen to host a beer festival, hit the spot for real ale drinkers.
More than 2,500 people guzzled 9,000 pints of beer, 1,100 pints of cider and 400 bottles during a three-day festival at England's biggest parish church.
And the Reverend Matt Woodcock – chatting during a break from pint-pulling duties – says the 700-year-old church made a perfect venue.
He said: "When I was ordained, I never thought, even for second, I would be rolling barrels of beer into church at eight o'clock in the morning.
"For me, the picture of us all sipping on pints of beer in front of a painting of The Last Supper sums it all up brilliantly. Jesus's ministry was run from around the table, with people eating and drinking, while discussing the deeper meaning of life.
"The festival was like that, too. There were no fruit machines, TV screens or other distractions. It was just a group of people talking with one another over a few pints and enjoying a pork pie or two.
"The atmosphere in church was wonderful. The place was rammed to the rafters."
It was only the second time the Hull and East Yorkshire branch of Camra (Campaign for Real Ale) had picked Holy Trinity to host their annual, popular festival.
Mr Woodcock admits not everyone was comfortable with the church being used to host the Hull Real Ale & Cider Festival.
But he says worshippers, both traditional and modern, showed their gracious side and fully supported the event.
Mr Woodcock said: "It's fair to say we had to convince some of our established church members that it would be a good thing.
"It certainly helped that the vicar, the Reverend Dr Neal Barnes, was totally up for it. He thought it was a brilliant idea, as did I.
"The majority of church members really embraced it too but even those who were not comfortable with the idea were really very supportive and I would like to thank those people.
"The festival certainly didn't cause a rift."
Last year, the taps ran dry, prompting organisers to double the order this year.
But even that was not enough to quench the thirst of drinkers and an "emergency" order of 20 casks was delivered on Saturday, the final day of the festival.
Mr Woodcock said: "I'm a Camra member, so I took my turn behind the bar.
"It was wonderful pouring pints for people and having a chat at the same time."
Festival organiser Stewart Campbell, of Camra, thanked Reverends Woodcock and Barnes for allowing his group to use the historic venue.
He said: "It's a brilliant venue. We could not have wished for anywhere better.
"Holy Trinity is such a wonderful building – and it kept the beer nice and cool."
Mr Woodcock sound a little worse for wear when he spoke to the Mail yesterday.
But he laughed off suggestions of a hangover.
"It was all the hard work – honestly," said Mr Woodcock. "Life is all about moderation."
• Dates for next year's festival have already been announced. It will run from April 24-26, 2014."

Guy Kawasaki, one of the most prominent venture capitalists in Silicon Valley, as well as one of the original marketers of Apple, has struck out on his own and self-published a book (which fittingly enough, is about self-publishing). APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur explores the pitfalls and successes of self-publishing from the vantage of a Guy (sorry) who knows a thing or two about success in the digital age.
He's recently compiled a list of "do's and dont's" for independent publishers, which can be quite helpful to consider when you're embarking on your next big independent publishing project. All of them are particularly smart things to keep in mind, and are questions that one should definitely revisit each time you publish a book.
His bottom line, however, is that when it comes to publishing independently, nothing is set in stone. So with that in mind, here are a couple of additional pieces of advice to consider, especially for keeping yourself in a good state of mind when entering the wonderful world of independent publishing.
You will need to make a decision on how much effort and time you devote to the project. If you would like to make a living off of independent publishing (which is still very hard to achieve), then you will need to give it your all. If you are only able to give half of your attention, then recognize that the results might not be as great as you expected. Keep your expectations in line with your effort.
Some books take off, others languish. Some of your success will depend on conditions out of your hands. So, even giving it your all might not be enough. Recognizing that we have yet to crack the magic formula of independent publishing is huge.
This most of all: ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple "I must," then build your life in accordance with this necessity; your whole life, even into its humblest and most indifferent hour, must become a sign and witness to this impulse.
Be hard on yourself — push yourself to get your book into shape, polished, and something that you really want the world to see. But once you do it, then make sure you are your best champion. You need to believe in your book before anyone else will.
As independent publishing continues to expand, the litany of advice will continue as well.
What are your best inspirational tips?
Great post! Thank you for this authentic and valuable perspective. Keep up the good work.

Clash between police and thousands of miners, women and children gave Camborne pub its name
The military were called in to help bring peace and gave their name to a popular pub as a result

Get the latest nostalgia features and photo stories from Cornwall straight to your inbox
Anyone walking past the Red Jackets Tavern in Camborne – or indeed dropping in for a pint when it reopens after lockdown – may wonder where it got its unique name.
Formerly the Reynolds Arms, the pub in Trevenson Road is named after an extraordinary event which happened in the town 150 years ago – up to 5,000 people, many of them miners and children, clashed with police in a huge riot which engulfed Camborne.
The mayhem and fighting was so fierce and frightening that 112 soldiers from the 11th Regiment of Foot (Red Jackets) were brought down from Plymouth by train to quell the rioters.
Tensions had been building before the events of Tuesday, October 8, 1873.
By 1871 the population of Camborne had risen to 14,929 meaning the town was overcrowded. Mining was on the wane because of cheaper overseas competition and unemployment was on the rise.
This led to drunken brawls and general lawlessness, which worried the Methodist community which did what it could to help keep the peace.
However, it all boiled over on October 8 when a series of riots broke out following the arrest of brothers James and Thomas Bawden outside the Market House. What started with a handful of people grew to thousands as frightened residents locked themselves in their homes and above their businesses.
A large group of angry miners forced the policemen to retreat, allowing the Bawdens to get away. However, they were later arrested and charged. This only served to anger the fast growing mob of miners and the police had to flee for safety.
With the police defeated, the miners went on a rampage, kicking policemen's helmets around the gutters, uprooting iron railings and causing mayhem and destruction around the town … though leaving the pubs untouched.
Before midnight a telegram was sent to Plymouth for the military, and at 4.30am the Red Jackets arrived. With their bayonets fixed and rifles loaded the infantry patrolled the streets and stood guard over the trouble spots, one of which was the Reynolds Arms which later became the Red Jackets Tavern we know today.
A depiction of the Camborne riot
The "serious riots at Camborne" were covered in the October 11 edition of the Royal Cornwall Gazette.
The newspaper report stated: "Tuesday last will be noted in the history of Camborne as the day a disgraceful and desperate riot calling to mind the bread riots which took place at Pool and Redruth about 20 years ago.
"On Tuesday last, the 'roughs' of the population of Camborne showed what they were capable of doing when in a state of infuriated excitement. The origin of the riot appears to be attributable to a great dislike and almost hatred of the county police stationed in the town. The popular animosity seems to have been aroused especially against Superintendent Stephens and Police Constable Burton and if they had fallen into the hands of the mob on Tuesday, they would no doubt have received very severe treatment.
"The more immediate cause of the riot may be shortly stated. On Friday last a married woman named Elizabeth Bennett, who had not long given birth, was brought before the magistrate for entering the house of W H Wearne and stealing thereof £15 in gold . After a long investigation the magistrates decided there was no evidence to warrant committal and they discharged the woman.
"Several hundred persons were waiting outside the courtroom and when the decision was announced they gave vent to their feelings and loudly applauded the woman when she came into the street.
"On Saturday evening after this a policeman named Osborn was standing in the Market Place talking with a man, when he was deliberately insulted by a miner named James Bawden. The policeman remonstrated with him but as the man persisted and endeavoured to throw him, Osborn took him into custody. The prisoner became very violent and another policeman came to Osborn's assistance, when a number of persons led by the prisoner's brother Thomas Bawden overpowered the police and rescued the prisoner.
"Later in the evening both the Bawdens were apprehended and locked up and on Monday they were brought before the magistrates and remanded until Tuesday .
"A disturbance being apprehended, Colonel Gilbert , the Chief Constable, was communicated with and all the policemen immediately available were dispatched to Camborne. One account says there were 30 in the town, another states that the number was eventually increased to 50 men.
"At an early hour a large number of persons gathered to the Market Place which was literally packed with the crowd. The mob were armed with sticks and stones and shopkeepers in the locality put up their shutters, business being entirely suspended. The prisoners, James and Thomas Bawden, were brought before the magistrates being given five months and six months respectively for the melee.
"The rioting commenced before the case was even opened and greatly increased after the result was made known."

A reporter added: "The scene witnessed in the streets of Camborne on Tuesday was one which we find ourselves almost at a loss to describe. We have heard how noisy the Cambornians have been at parish meetings etc, but on the information of one of the oldest inhabitants we think we are right in stating that no disturbance has occurred at any rate in this century in the western part of Cornwall, at all worthy of being classified with that of Tuesday.
"The glass in the Town Hall and Assembly Rooms is about almost all broken, some panes at Dr Harris's surgery, J Quintrell's (The Railway Inn), the police station and all the windows at Mr Newmings (Reynolds Arms). The mob believed that some police were in Mr Newmings' house and forced an entrance. They searched the house, took some of the barrels of beer into the street and drank some liquor."
On the night of the riot several policemen kept out the way and slept under the railway arch and in the local churchyard. "In fact, they were hounded like rats," said one witness.
A reporter added: "Witnesses tell me that in the evening assailants of the Town Hall were most mischievous 14-20 year olds. The girls had stones under their aprons!"
An image of rioting miners as used in several newspaper reports of the time
One of the policemen involved, who received slight cuts, had the appropriate name of PC Basher.
Two men were later charged with rioting – James Kent of the Tuckingmill Foundry and a youth called Cornelius Burns.
A report stated: "Sgt Curragh also gave evidence but said he did not see anything to implicate Kent or Burns, that he was trying to force a way to the police station and whilst so engaged saw some women throwing stones at the police and cried out 'for shame women if you were men I would cut you down at once'.
"On meeting up with three other PCs trying to get to the station, he met up with Captain Josiah Thomas, Mr Hutchinson, Mr James and Mr Charles Corin (grocer of Market Place ), who begged them not to make the attempt as they were utterly powerless and would only endanger their lives by so doing. Then they returned to Mrs Rowe's eating house where they remained until the mob discovered them and threatened to pull the house down about them.
"They went away and witness saw Kent in the crowd bleeding from a wound to the head and someone lifting him up. He also saw Burns there but he did not see them say or do anything."

The newspaper reported that the entirety of Camborne's police was removed to other towns to "have the effect of restoring peace and a better feeling in the town" after the riot.
Out of a reported 5,000 rioters no one apart from Kent and Burns appears to have been charged with any crimes. Camborne settled down for a number of years of relative peace, until a flare up with Irish migrant workers in the 1890s.

Objects, Technology, Recurring Objects
"Video Makers"
"James Baxter the Horse"
The video camera is the main object Finn and Jake use to film in the episode "Video Makers." It was placed on BMO's head to catch footage for Finn and Jake so they could make a new video for their club. Where and when they acquired it is unknown, although Finn dug it out of their treasure, which suggests they got it on an adventure. It would take twenty hours to edit the final cut of the video, but the film was replaced by BMO with a video he made with footage he had gotten from filming, to get Finn and Jake to stop being mad at each other. It is later revealed in "Conquest of Cuteness," that BMO has a camera built inside of him that takes photos, but uses a video camera attached to him in "Video Makers." Jake uses this camera in "In Your Footsteps" to film the bear eating Finn Cakes.
The video camera appears to be a regular video camera with its lens, button and its tape hatch.

White House: Obama Unlikely to Sign 'Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act'
By Aru Pande | VOA News on Apr 19, 2016 Featured, National
WHITE HOUSE—Despite calls from victims' families, the White House says President Barack Obama likely would not sign legislation that could allow countries like Saudi Arabia to be sued for any role officials may have played in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. "The whole notion of sovereign immunity is at stake. And […]
White House Urges Muslims to Counter Extremist Message

WHITE HOUSE—A day after U.S. President Barack Obama said the fight against the Islamic State militant group should not be defined as one between America and Islam, the White House is reinforcing that message, while urging Muslim-Americans in the United States to do their part. "We would like to see leaders in the Muslim community stand […]
Obama Slows US Troop Withdrawal From Afghanistan
By Aru Pande | VOA News on Oct 15, 2015 Featured, National
WHITE HOUSE—For an American president who came into office with a promise to end U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the announcement to slow the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan was likely not an easy one. "I do not support the idea of endless war," President Barack Obama said. "I repeatedly argued against marching into […]
Georgia Executes First Female Convict in Seventy Years
By Aru Pande | VOA News on Sep 30, 2015 Featured, National
A woman convicted for the 1997 murder of her husband has been executed in the southeastern U.S. state of Georgia, despite a flurry of last-minute legal maneuvers and a personal appeal by Pope Francis to spare her life. Kelly Gissendaner died by lethal injection early Wednesday morning at prison facility outside the capital city, Atlanta. […]


The mayors of Los Angeles, San Diego, Oakland and Sacramento called for bold state action to help the more than 130,000 Californians who are homeless, urging Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom to revive a controversial funding source for affordable housing and make it easier for cities to build shelters.
Mayors Schaaf, Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles, Kevin Faulconer of San Diego and Darrell Steinberg of Sacramento reflected on the difficulties of addressing what Garcetti called "the great humanitarian crisis the state faces" at a downtown Sacramento event sponsored by the California Dream Project, a collaboration of CALmatters and public radio stations Capitol Public Radio, KQED, KPCC and KPBS.
Despite the passage last month of two statewide initiatives that promise $6 billion in fresh affordable housing and homelessness dollars, Faulconer, the panel's lone Republican whom GOP circles have floated as a future candidate for governor, argued that more affordable housing dollars were still desperately needed.
He was joined by Steinberg, a Democrat and former state legislative leader, in lobbying for the state to revive "redevelopment," a controversial program that outgoing Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown helped eliminate in 2011. The program used local property tax revenue to fund affordable housing. A bill to re-start a redevelopment program failed to make it out of the Legislature in the last session.
"This is not a partisan issue. It is the 'right thing we should be doing' issue," said Faulconer.
Despite leading very different California cities with different homeless populations, each mayor lamented the common difficulty of finding neighborhoods willing to accept new homeless shelters and permanent supportive housing, which provides wrap-around mental health and other services to the chronically homeless.
Garcetti — mayor of the seat of a county with the nation's second largest homeless population, just behind New York — has run into the issue repeatedly in recent months. He was openly jeered at a town hall meeting in the beachside neighborhood of Venice last month, where he backed a proposal for a shelter on a local unused bus yard.
"I tell other elected officials, 'Don't process these things to death,' " said Garcetti, who stressed that communities that often start with a not-in-my-backyard stance tend to accept shelters and affordable housing once they're up and running.
As a way of getting around so-called NIMBYs, Sacramento Mayor Steinberg said that cities and counties shouldn't be so defensive about retaining local control on housing decisions—something you rarely hear from mayors.
When asked about the separate but related issue of rent control, Mayor Garcetti called on the state Legislature to revive a possible compromise over a 1995 state law that prohibits local governments from expanding rent control. A repeal of that Costa Hawkins law on the November statewide ballot failed by 20 points.

The wearable item this month is a Pikachu hat. I was a huge fan of Pokemon in the late 90's, playing the original games on Game Boy and playing the Pokemon trading card game. I think this hat is really cool but I will probably not wear it. My little brother on the other hand will love it.
Next up, we have a Hearthstone stress stone and a free Hearthstone in game pack. As a former World of Warcraft player I'm excited to have my own personal Hearthstone! It doesn't teleport me to my home but it works well as a stress reliever. I play Hearthstone but not competitively. I'm in the free to play camp since I only use gold that I have earned to buy packs and adventures. The free card pack is great as it saves me a 100 in game gold.
Who doesn't love the Simpsons? Growing up, the Simpsons was the cartoon to watch. My grandmother didn't approve since she thought Bart Simpson would have a negative impact on my school grades. Still, I've been a Simpsons fan for awhile and this vinyl figure is an welcomed addition to my figure collection. The prayer beads and the golden pretzel are a nice touch as well.
If you have watched the Supernatural series you will be familiar with Dean's sweet Impala. This model car is a Loot Crate exclusive and I will probably leave it on my desk as well. This month also introduces something new, a mobile app called Master Summoner. This game can be downloaded on iOS and Android. The app also has an augmented reality feature which uses the Loot Crate Box. Last but not least we have the monthly button.
Overall, I really like the things in this box. The Hearthstone stress stone, the Homer buddah, and the Supernatural Impala were my favorite items this month. The introduction of the new app and the augmented reality feature is a good step forward. Using the box as an image platform was a great idea as well. I'm excited to see what's in store next month!

Maria Theresia Freiin von Eltz-Rodendorf (* 1720; † 15. Juli 1803 in Freisdorf) war zwischen 1762 und 1795 Herrin zu Bourscheid.

Maria Theresia war die Tochter des Johann Hugo Ferdinand von Eltz-Rodendorf und der Maria Antonetta Mechthild von Metternich-Müllenark. Ihre Schwester Marie Wilhelmine war mit Franz Eduard Anton von der Heyden, Herrn zu Niederweis, verheiratet. Maria Theresia heiratete 1747 Franz Ludwig Schenk von Schmidtburg (1711–1762). Ihr Onkel Hugo Franz Wolf von Metternich verkaufte 1753 die Herrschaft Bourscheid aus finanziellen Gründen an Demoiselle Constance de Mathelin de Rolley. Maria Theresia klagte gegen diesen Kaufakt, worauf ihr 1762 insgesamt vier Fünftel der Herrschaft zugesprochen wurden. Später konnte sie noch ein Fünftel käuflich erwerben. Sie besaß auch die Herrschaft Freisdorf (heute Frankreich).

Ihr Sohn Franz Joseph Ignaz Nepomuk Schenk von Schmidtburg veräußerte 1812 die Burg Bourscheid.

If an alien from another planet toured a North American grocery store, he might think that a massive protein deficiency is plaguing the continent.
From protein-fortified breakfast cereals to front-of-package shout-outs about protein health to entire aisles of powders, bars and shakes, we seem to be obsessed with the stuff.
Our current fascination with protein may, in fact, be well founded. A large and still growing body of evidence has fairly conclusively linked protein consumption with increased satiety - and guess what - when we're fuller, not surprisingly, we're likely to eat less. And eating less is something a huge number of us are actively trying to do.
Looking at absolutes of protein consumption, it would certainly appear as if we're all getting "enough." According to the data collected by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the average American is consuming nearly 16 percent of his or her calories from protein; that likely translates to somewhere between 70 to 120 grams per person - well over the recommendation of .8 grams per kilogram.
While issue of whether or not that recommendation is too low is now the source of heated debate, my experiences working with thousands of patients trying to lose weight has me worrying not so much about the right amount of protein but about its right spread and source.
From a satiety perspective, it would seem that protein needs to be well distributed. What that means is protein's inclusion with each and every meal, and I would argue, too, each and every snack. It also ought not to be liquid protein or at least not a thin liquid source.
While thick, viscous liquids may still confer some benefit to fullness, it would seem thin ones don't do nearly the same job. That means milk as a protein source, while definitely useful if you're simply worried about consuming "enough" protein, isn't likely to provide you with the same satiety benefit as, say, a thicker dairy protein source such as Greek yogurt.
For those aiming for three meals a day without snacks, clinical studies of hunger would suggest that 25 percent of your calories ought to come from protein. For a 400- to 600-calorie meal, that would mean between 25 and 37.5 grams of protein. For those (like me) who find the larger meals more difficult to stomach or find the time for, figure on 15 to 20 grams of protein with each smaller meal and 10 grams or more of protein with each between-meal snack.
Looking to my patients' successes for further tips, it would seem that protein-fortified breakfast cereals don't have the same staying power as non-fortified natural sources and that, in a pinch, those ubiquitous protein bars do great as a last-resort, between-meal snack.
No, we don't have a protein emergency in North America, and yes, it does seem to be a big help for those trying to manage their portions and choices. But that cereal-and-toast breakfast, followed by a fruit, followed by a "healthy salad" for lunch? Even if you do, like many, have a large protein-rich dinner, that protein, while certainly sufficient in quantity, isn't going to help you any in keeping your calories under control.
Spread your protein out throughout the day though, and maybe you won't be hankering for a 16-ounce rib-eye with all the fixings, and you'll feel perfectly satisfied instead with a 6-ounce filet with some freshly steamed vegetables.

Woodford has issued a note on Capita following its latest profit bombshell, admitting it was a bad idea to own the outsourcing giant in 2016.
Neil Woodford has vowed to stand by Capita following its latest profit shock, in a frank assessment on the challenges facing the outsourcing giant.
Capita has been a major factor behind Woodford's recent underperformance. Last week's profit warning delivered the just latest blow in a series of setbacks suffered by the UK's best known fund manager.
That was accompanied by news of a rights issue and a dividend suspension, as incoming chief executive Jonathan Lewis sought to kitchen sink a series of inherited issues.
This triggered a sharp sell-off, with its market capitalisation almost halving over a seven day stretch.
Prior to the warning, Capita accounted for around 0.8% of the Woodford Equity Income fund and 1.3% the Woodford Income Focus fund.
While admitting the latest Capita news has been 'unhelpful' to recent performance, Woodford said he is pleased by the firm's progress under Lewis, who assumed the role last October, after his predecessor left under a cloud of declining profits.
Woodford described the Lewis' hard break with business as usual as a 'complete reset' for Capita.
'[Lewis] has mapped out a clear new direction of travel for the business and it is one with which I completely agree,' he added.
'More focus, better leadership, better cost control, a stronger balance sheet (through a combination of disposals, dividend cut and a future capital raise) which will, in turn, lead to more investment in the business, an enhanced competitive position and a brighter future for its shareholders and customers.
Given the circumstances and the prospect of a long road ahead, Woodford said he was not surprised this was met by a massive fall in the share price from an already depressed level.
'[After all] Capita represents many of the things that this market loathes at the moment – it is exposed to the UK economy, it has a recent record of disappointment, it is an outsourcer,' Woodford said.
He justified this view by drawing attention to some of the numbers behind Capita's fall. These include a fall in profit from £475 million at the start of 2016 to an expected £270 million to £300 million in 2018.
The share price has fallen from around £12 to 175p over this period.
'There are a lot of moving parts and other issues to consider but if this was all you had to go on you might think that, from the perspective of valuation, this is a little bit interesting,' Woodford said.
Woodford also noted that collapse of Carillion has 'catalysed' the whole outsourcing sector to rebase its relationship with the government, which also recognises the need for change, to reflect a fairer balance between risk and reward.
'I would go as far as to say that the business will be in better shape at the end of 2018 than it was in 2016. It will have infinitely better leadership, a stronger balance sheet, better cash flow, more conservative accounting policies and a lower pension deficit,' Woodford added.
Talking more broadly about his tough spell, Woodford warned that while the market continued to behave in a way he perceives as irrational, he is likely to struggle.
'While the stock market remains totally preoccupied with momentum and insensitive to valuation, we should all expect the environment to remain as challenging for the Woodford funds, as it has been since early summer last year.
Woodford returned just 0.5 on his flagship LF Woodford Equity Income fund in 2016 versus a peer group average of 10.4%.
Over three years the fund has returned 20.5% versus the peer group's 26.6%.


Miss Saigon is a tragic love story of Kim, a naive Vietnamese prostitute and American, Chris at the time of the fall of Vietnam in 1975.
Chris reluctantly spends time with Kim when she is 'bought' for him by fellow soldier, John and they fall in love. Chris is forced to leave Vietnam as the US withdraws, Kim is left behind and unknown to Chris pregnant with his son.
Chris does not find out about his son until 3 years later when he has moved on and married Ellen. Chris and Ellen visit Bangkok where Kim and son, Tam now live but with tragic consequences.
The show was lightened by The Engineer and his cheeky character but a stark contract to the emotional toil of war and the pointlessness of sending these young men to this war and the lives lost.
Sooha Kim was perfectly cast in the role of Kim, displaying a delicate innocence with a sweet voice and great chemistry with Chris, Ashley Gilmour.
It is a moving show leaving many with a tear in their eye, for me especially as Ryan O'Gorman performed Bui Doi against the film of the Children of the Vietnam War.
The staging of Miss Saigon was very atmospheric with fabulous special effects especially the helicopter which added to the unfolding drama.
Edinburgh's Festival Theatre is situated on Nicolson street a short walk from Waverly Station. Its modern glass frontage and airy foyer contrast and compliment the traditional auditorium which host and audience of almost 2000 people over 3 levels. The seating and environment are comfortable, and the theatre is well served with toilets and a bar on each level.
Miss Saigon is running at Edinburgh Festival Theatre until 17 Feb so plenty of opportunity to get tickets but the age guidance of 12 years plus is accurate!
Tickets cost from £19 to £65 (booking fees may apply).
Miss Saigon is at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh from 17 January to 17 February 2018, for more information or to book tickets visit www.edtheatres.com or call the box office on 0131 529 6000.


File under 99 Cent Deal of the Day. The Chef picked up one pound packaged fresh strawberries at this 99c only Store yesterday. Let's make a 99 cent smoothie.
just throw it all in and blend until smooth. Duh!
The Poblano chile is large enough to stuff with the Chef's tasty ground turkey mix: just add some raisins, mushrooms and taco seasonings when sauteing ground turkey.
For some reason local markets call the Poblano a Pastilla chile. Read about the controversy here on Chowhound.
The Poblano chiles are from my local Latin market on Adams Blvd. (with a taco truck out front -- their Pupusas are a tasty distraction.) All other ingredients are from the 99c only Stores; although the Chef has purchased Poblano chiles there -- a Latin market has a better size selection for stuffing. Cooked stuffed Poblano chiles freeze well, too.
While sauteing all ingredients over a medium heat, prepare Poblano chiles to stuff by cutting out the tops and removing seeds. After sauteing ground turkey mix 10 - 15 minutes, stuff chiles; pressing meat tightly into each one.
Place stuffed chiles onto a baking pan and cook uncovered about 45 minutes at 350 degrees. The chile will steam, keeping the notoriously dry turkey meat moist. This recipe works well with hollowed out bell peppers and/or large whole tomatoes.
A Texan news daily food blog, "Cook's Tour," from the Houston Chronicle (March 17, 2008,) gave the Chef some props, I think? Quote: "Everyone's gotta have a gimmick. The 99-cent chef's is picking the featured ingredients on his recipe blog from the shelves of....ta dum...99 cent stores and other bargain venues. Frightening formula for chicken-liver yakitori included." Now the Chef knows chicken liver is not for everyone, but was the dish "frightening?" - Hhhmmm, absolutely. Well, you can be sure the Chef has many more frighteningly tasty and fun recipes to come!
Expect nothing less from The 99 Cent Chef.
To get the Chef's blogging interest, just mix irreverence and food. One such attention grabber is a kooky cocktail creation "The McNuggitini" -- found on LA blog "The StateThat I Am In" and created by fellow 99 Cent Store habitue Georgia and her friend Alie. It's a dizzying combo of a McDonalds Chicken McNugget garnishing a White Russian styled Micky D's milkshake, mixed with Absolute Vodka and rimmed with BBQ sauce.
By the time you reach the last photo panel you may need a double shot of Pepto Bismol! For a 99 Cent Chef version use a 99 cent airline vodka bottle from your favorite local liquor store; trying to find a 99 cent substitute for McNuggets and Shake would be unthinkable! For the funny photo story and cocktail recipe click here (March 17.) Cheers!
1 1/2 pound frozen containers of Tyson Chicken Livers are showing up at the 99c only Stores.
One of the first jobs the Chef had in Hollywood was video editing. The owner was from Japan, so the Chef was lucky to be squired around to every Japanese dining establishment in town; from highend sushi bars to yakitori hideaways in Little Tokyo. Walking into a yakitori room is similar to entering a South Central bbq joint, you are hit with the smell of smoke -- you are in the presence of grill masters.
While southern bbq is slow cooked, yakitori is quickly grilled over an open flame. Like a sushi bar, you order individual skewers of chicken offal or meat and vegetables, which quickly arrive lightly charred and perfectly done. In the Chef's version he uses his handy outdoor bbq gas grill. The chicken livers are combined with vegetables like a shish kebab and basted with an oriental sauce.
Chopped vegetables: onion, bell pepper, carrots or whatever you have on hand, salt & pepper to taste.
3/4 cup total of oyster sauce, sweet & sour, plum sauce or any combination.
Drain the chicken livers and mix with1/4 cup of your favorite oriental sauce. Chop vegetables in large chunks. Skewer alternately, veggies then chicken livers, making sure both parts of the chicken liver are piecered (the liver is delicate so try not to rip.) Salt and pepper to taste. Place skewers on a hot grill. Because the liver flavor is so intense, use plenty of sauce on the liver during cooking. The trickiest part of grilling liver yakitori is it may stick to the grill; use a knife between the grill and liver to gently loosen before turning.
Deal of the Day - Beer!
With St. Patrick's day just around the corner (March 17,) the Chef has found the pot of liquid gold at the end of the rainbow: the 99c only Store is selling four (12 ounce) cans of La Crosse Light for 99 cents at this store (for how long?) It's a Wisconson lager that is brewed with pure Artesian water. Yesterday, the Chef picked up a twelver to go with his Patty's Day meal of boiled Yukon gold potatoes. As for the beer, the Chef would rate it as good (?) as PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon,) another 99c only Store staple that is two for 99 cents.
To quote a comment on the Beer Advocate website: "Poured a medium straw hue with a one finger foamy white head. There was decent retention and lacing. The smell featured a light doughy malt and a smattering of flowery hop. The taste was well balanced and consisted of some soft bready malts and light balancing hops. Pleasant residual sweetness. The mouthfeel was toward the fuller side for the style with a touch of creaminess. Overall a tasty lager."
The Chef could not say it better.
To help us when we deal with the fear."
See you at The Tam O'Shanter.
Note: Not all 99c only Stores sell alcohol and just last week La Crosse was 2 for 99 cents.
When the Chef moved into his present abode 4 years ago, the first person who befriended him was his neighbor, Nuno Pinheira, a quick witted raconteur. I've had the privilege to be the recipient of his many amusing anecdotes, bawdy jokes and puns.
This is The 99 Cent Chef's Popeye's Fried Chicken "2 Pieces for 99 Cents Tuesday Special" dinner with Nuno.
Play it here. The video runs 1 minute 25 seconds.
99 Thanks to my neighbor Pete for his camerawork and to my pal, Nuno Pinheira.

* Prices went up in 2016 to $1.79 for 2 pieces of dark meat chicken.
While parking around the corner off Fairfax Avenue, the Chef noticed a lemon tree with its plump, ripened fruit dangling seductively within grasping distance, over the sidewalk. Go ahead and pick away, it is legal, according to the website "Fallen Fruit." It provides city map locations for all sorts of fruit trees that share our public spaces, throughout Los Angeles. See the website link on the right, under "Blogs for Foodies."
Chicken is the cheapest protein that costs way below 99 cents per pound. You can slide lemon slices into leg quarters or whole chicken breast, too.
The Chef would like to share a simply delicious recipe based on the fruits of his labor: Russ Meyer Lemon Roasted Chicken.
4 - 5 lemon lemon - slice one lemon to put under the chicken skin.
1 whole chicken - okay to use leg quarters or whole chicken breast.
Juice 3-4 lemons and slice one lemon. Loosen skin of breast and thigh meat by inserting your finger under the skin. Be careful not to tear the skin too much.
Brush lemon juice over and under the skin. Insert slices of lemon under the skin: four slices for the breast and two slices for each thigh (kind of tricky but work a slice around to the outer thigh and place one slice on the inner thigh.) Salt and pepper to taste. If you have time, let chicken marinate covered, for a few hours in the refrigerator.
Bake chicken at 350 degrees, basting with lemon juice a few times, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours; done when juices run clear by piercing the lower thigh meat with a fork. Cover the breast meat with a small piece of foil for the first hour to keep the breast from drying out.
This recipe works well with packaged whole chicken breast or leg quarters, just cut cooking time in half (no foil).

November was packed full of technology donations to hospices across the British Isles, and we met many incredible families and hospice staff. Here are some of our magical moments.
This month we visited Tŷ Hafan in Wales, Shooting Star in Middlesex, and Pepper Nurses in Hertfordshire, a hospice at home service. By donating to all these different types of services, not only are we reaching children being cared for in hospice buildings, we are also providing for children who are being cared for in their own homes as well. By doing this we are able to reach more children with our magical technology.
When we went to Shooting Star we met James and his mum. James is two years old and has a rare, painful skin condition that means his skin can tear and blister at the slightest touch, so it can be difficult for him to play games outside. The Magic Carpet gives him the opportunity to play football, and lots of other games, safely indoors under the watchful eye of his carers.
In November we met with Ewan and Kenny, two of our dedicated fundraisers who are taking on a very exciting challenge for Lifelites next year.
