Man Utd plot raid for Atletico superstar with £150,000-a-week offer
Date published: Saturday 15th August 2020 7:39
Man Utd are set to revive interest in an Atletico Madrid midfielder, and plot to lure him with a contract worth £150,000-a-week, according to a report.
The Red Devils are expected to be one of the busiest players in the transfer market this summer.
The ongoing speculation surrounding Jadon Sancho simply won't go away, with one transfer expert insistent the saga is 'not over'.
'Ongoing talks' have been cited in that case, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will still look to strengthen elsewhere.
One position in which the club have been linked with acquisitions is central midfield.
Aston Villa talisman Jack Grealish has repeatedly been linked, but the latest report points to further afield.
The Express (who cite The Star) report that Man Utd are 'primed to revive interest' in Atletico's Saul Niguez.
The 25-year-old emerged as a target for the club last year, but a deal never materialised.
However, despite retaining a long-term contract with the Atletico, Saul is said to be 'concerned' over the club's future.
With Real Madrid and Barcelona re-establishing their domestic dominance in the past few years, Atletico have slipped into the background.
The club bowed out of the Champions League on Thursday, and Saul could be open to a fresh challenge elsewhere.
Utd are prepared to offer wages of '£150,000-a-week' to entice the Spaniard. Though his potential acquisition could spell the end for certain squad members such as Jesse Lingard or Andreas Perreira.
Europa League a Man Utd neccessity?
Meanwhile, Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan has said they need to win the Europa League to ensure the 2019-20 season can be classed as a success.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first full season in the Old Trafford hot seat has ended with a third-place finish in the Premier League, Champions League qualification and three semi-final appearances.
United failed to progress beyond that stage in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, but they have the opportunity to take that next step against Europa League experts Sevilla in Sunday's Stadion Koln semi-final.
Phelan has been impressed by the squad's development. But the Red Devils assistant manager knows silverware is key.
"It's very important to show, at the end of the season, all the hard work you've put into it and that is usually done with silverware," he said.

Quick Answer: What body made the laws in Athens?
Who made the laws in Athens?
How were laws enforced in Athens?
How is the Athenian law?
Who had the rights in Athens?
What did male slaves do in Athens?
What laws did Draco create?
How are laws made in Greece today?
What is the law in Greece?
What is ancient Athens known for?
What did slaves do in Sparta?
How old is Athens Greece?
What type of government did Athens have?
How did Athens treat non citizens?
The Athenian law court was large and decisions were made by majority. The courts could also exile those from society who were gaining too much power and could become tyrants. The laws of Athens also changed as the courts changed to work better with society.
The Law in Ancient Greece. The traditions of Athens and Sparta say that the laws were given to them by Solon and Lycurgus, legendary figures who served as leaders of their city-states long ago. The two traditions agree that the laws are made by the Assembly and approved by the Senate.
Draco and Solon
In 620 B.C.E., Draco, the first creator of laws in Ancient Athens, replaced these family feuds with a written code that was designed to be enforced by a court of law. The first law that Draco wrote established that the penalty for murder was exile out of the country.
Athenian laws are typically written in the form where if an offense is made, then the offender will be punished according to said law, thus they are more concerned with the legal actions which should be undertaken by the prosecutor, rather than strictly defining which acts are prosecutable.
IT\'S FUNNING: What do you need to live in Greece?
Not everyone in Athens was considered a citizen. Only free, adult men enjoyed the rights and responsibility of citizenship. Only about 20 percent of the population of Athens were citizens. Women were not citizens and therefore could not vote or have any say in the political process.
The principal use of slaves was in agriculture, but they were also used in stone quarries or mines, and as domestic servants. Athens had the largest slave population, with as many as 80,000 in the 5th and 6th centuries BC, with an average of three or four slaves per household, except in poor families.
Draconian laws, traditional Athenian law code allegedly introduced by Draco c. 621 bce. Aristotle, the chief source for knowledge of Draco, claims that his were the first written Athenian laws and that Draco established a constitution enfranchising hoplites, the lower class soldiers.
The legislation initiative lies in the government, which introduces Bills, and the Parliament which introduces Law Proposals. All laws are voted (enacted) in a plenary session. They may be voted by standing parliamentary committees (article 70 par.
Greece is a civil law country, and thus jurisprudence is not considered as a source of law. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, although article 28 of the Greek Constitution provides that international conventions ratified by Greece as well as EU legislation shall prevail over any other provision of law.
IT\'S FUNNING: Frequent question: Where can you see wildlife in Greece?
Athens was the largest and most influential of the Greek city-states. It had many fine buildings and was named after Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare. The Athenians invented democracy, a new type of government where every citizen could vote on important issues, such as whether or not to declare war.
Slaves in Sparta worked on their lands and produced agricultural products for their masters. They lived in their home country and did not have to work at the homes of their masters. In times of an emergency, the slaves had to serve as light-armed troops.
[atʰɛ̂ːnai̯]) is the capital and largest city of Greece. Athens dominates the Attica region and is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years and its earliest human presence starting somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennium BC.
Athenian democracy developed around the 6th century BC in the Greek city-state (known as a polis) of Athens, comprising the city of Athens and the surrounding territory of Attica.
We Athenians have high regard for our non-citizens. We entrust our women with a great deal of responsibility. Married women are responsible for managing their households. That includes acquiring and training household servants, preparing meals, and sometimes nursing sick slaves.

20°C, sunny start but building clouds and light S breeze.
I rode Cyclocross with MapMyRide+! Distance: 74.35km, time: 03:30:43, pace: 2:50min/km, speed: 21.17km/h.
Main feature- weaving through the gravel lanes behind Southport. There are many signs forbidding access to private roads, but they are not marked as such on the map. So, I pressed on. This time, I carried a 1:25k map which is suffering from the damp now. Note to self, it needs replacing.
The bike ran smoothly and the gravel tyres remain a good choice for days like this.
At the time of writing, heavy rain has set in.

Gibraltar´s Chief Minister will deliver a speech in Madrid on Tuesday defying a ban from the Spanish government.
Last month, Spain´s foreign minister sparked a diplomatic row when it emerged he had called off an event at which Gibraltar´s Chief Minister was invited to speak.
Chief Minister Fabian Picardo had been due to participate in a debate at the New Economic Forum but José Manuel García-Margallo, the foreign minister, reportedly pressurized organisers to cancel the event.
It emerged that he had personally telephoned the director of the Forum to express his displeasure at the invitation of Gibraltar´s leader, a conversation which led to the event being cancelled.
But instead of being silenced, Mr Picardo has arranged to give the same address after the government of Gibraltar organized their own event at Madrid´s Palace Hotel.
"The Chief Minister has decided to go ahead anyway and will make his speech at the same time on the same day as he had planned to with the New Economic Forum. The difference is that the Government of Gibraltar has now arranged the event," a Gibraltar government source told The Local.
"Mr Picardo will be sending out a message of dialogue and will maintain Gibraltar´s position with regards to dialogue and cooperation with Spain," he said.
The source told The Local that the Gibraltar government had found it surprising that at a time when the rest of Europe was talking about freedom of speech in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, Spain´s government sent a different message.
"Considering all that was going on at the time, it was a decision that was difficult to understand. But it is typical of Spain´s current government to resist any dialogue with Gibraltar," he said.


With the eyes of the world firmly fixed on each WSOP tournament as it unfolds, many of the best players in the world hop into new tournaments as soon as they bust, in what is undoubtedly the most hectic six week period on the poker calendar. This can be draining at times, but then a great player's thirst for action is more difficult to quench that most would think.
Somehow, in between this endless stream of tournaments, they find time to play cash games. These cash games are among the biggest and most lucrative that can be found in Las Vegas, and many of the top pros head to the WSOP primarily for this reason.
The Aria has developed a good reputation for big cash games which is difficult to match in this part of the world, and many pros have been spending time there this month. One such pro is Phil Galfond, and going by his recent remarks, the action is not just restricted to Holdem. Galfond has spoken of 8 Game Mix cash tables where all games are big bet rather than having some limit games, and the buy in is $100,000. Blinds are between $300/$600 with a $600 ante, and $500/$1,000 with a $1,000 ante. Having managed to find some takers for tournament side bets, he did eventually get round to playing the 2-7 Triple Draw Championship, but for the most part, cash games are continuing to keep Galfond away from the WSOP tournament area.
The Aria is clearly not the only place in town hosting big cash games this week, as Doyle Brunson has been verifying with tweets from the Bellagio. He posted pictures which showed twenty five stacks of $1,000 chips, along with four stacks of $5,000 chips and loose change which appeared to total over $450,000. He captioned the picture, "This is what the tournament players are missing." It is unknown whether he was involved in the game himself, but the action certainly seems to be flowing at the cash tables of Bellagio.

On this day in 1736 - January 25th - French mathematician Joseph Lagrange was born.
Lagrange was one of the great minds of the 18th century, and his work included major contributions to physics and astronomy. He's best known now for his identification of equilibrium points between the gravity of the Earth and that the Sun. NASA's SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) sits at one of these points.
Re: 2019: On this day . . . [Re: Mona - Astronomy] #930492 01/25/19 09:44 AM
On this day in 1983 - January 25th - the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) was launched.
IRAS, a joint project of NASA (USA), NIVR (Netherlands) and SERC (UK), was the first space telescope to carry out a survey of the whole night sky at infrared wavelengths.
On this day in 2004 - January 25th - the Mars rover Opportunity landed on the red planet.
The mission was designed to last 90 Martian days, but it was operational until the summer of 2018 when an exceptionally severe dust storm blanketed Mars for three months. The rover didn't recover from the loss of power.
On this day in 1994 - January 25th - Clementine was launched.
Over a period of nearly four months the US spacecraft Clementine made scientific observations of the Moon. In addition, Clementine was used as a test of the effects on sensors and components of extended exposure to space.
On this day in 1978 - January 26th - the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) was launched.
The IUE was a joint effort by ESA, the UK Science Research Council and NASA. It was switched off in 1996, after it had worked 14 years beyond its planned lifetime.
On this day in 1967 - January 27th - the crew of Apollo 1, Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee, died when fire swept through the command module during a preflight test.
They are commemorated at the Astronaut Memorial at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
On this day in 1829 - January 27th - pioneering astrophotographer Isaac Roberts was born.
Roberts was a Welsh amateur astronomer, and a fellow of the Royal Geological Society. He developed a photographic technique which made it possible to capture faint objects. Roberts's photograph of the Andromeda Nebula showed the spiral structure of M31, which was surprising at the time.
On this day in 1941 - January 27th - New Zealand astrophysicist Beatrice Hill Tinsley was born.
Beatrice Tinsley began her career late, and died in 1981, but in the intervening years she revolutionized our view of galactic evolution. Her pioneering work continues to be regularly cited by researchers.
On this day in 1986 - January 28th - NASA's space shuttle Challenger exploded soon after launch killing the seven crew members.
On this day in 1611 - January 28th - Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius was born.
Johannes Hevelius studied sunspots, produced a lunar chart, discovered several comets, and compiled an important star atlas. He was one of the most influential astronomers of the 17th century.

Criminal damage to property can be committed if an individual intentionally causes damage to property that belongs to someone else without the owner giving their consent. Under Minnesota law, you can be charged with one of four degrees of property damage and the consequences can be serious, although the crime does not seem like one that would be serious.
If you have been accused of criminal damage to property, contact a highly experienced and skilled St. Paul property damage attorney to immediately help you in your case. The sooner you involve an attorney, the stronger your case will be.
Property damage can be either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on various factors within the case, such as the property value or if the damage occurred because of bias. If someone damages the property of another person due to their gender, race, religion, age, or sexual orientation, then the charges can be escalated. Here are the classifications for criminal damage to property.
First degree property damage – The damage that is caused had a foreseeable risk of bodily harm, the property belonged to a common carrier and can no longer be used, the amount of the damage is greater than $1,000 or the property's value was over $500, or the individual has been previously convicted of criminal damage to property within the preceding 3 years.
Second degree property damage – The property was damaged due to bias based on someone's race, religion, gender, age, or sexual preference.
Third degree property damage – The dollar amount of the damage is over $500 but does not exceed $1,000.
Fourth degree property damage – The dollar amount of the damage is less than $500.
Charges can come about easily due to it being so easy to inflict $500 to $1,000 on a piece of property, especially if that property is destroyed in the act.
The penalties that are handed down by a judge after conviction depends on what the judge feels is necessary, such as community service, restitution paid to the victim, probation, jail time, fines, anger management counseling, and much more. While criminal damage to property may seem like a small crime, there are certain elements to it that make that not so. This is why you need a Minneapolis property damage lawyer working with you as early in the case as possible. Doing so will help secure the best possible outcome.
Property damage may not seem like a serious crime, but it is one that can compromise the rest of your life, as it causes you to have a criminal record if convicted. If you have been accused of causing damage to someone's property, having an experienced attorney working by your side can make a significant difference in your case. To learn about your options and rights, call the Law Office of Mark Herman 24/7 at 612-382-4545 for a free consultation.

Sunday evening the Midwest BOOM 7v7 organization hosted their 7th annual Winter Showcase. The event attracted over 250 athletes from 7 different states across the nation. Past award winners from the event include; Greg Newsome (Northwestern) Isaiah Lee (Iowa State) Ricky Smalling (Illinois) Mike Panasiuk (Michigan State) and Antonio Shenault (Minnesota).
Overall MVP: Kaleb Brown (2022)
Brown has been on BOOM radar for years as he has shined for the youth program. Sunday night he made it clear that he ready to make the leap to become a national prospect. He has tremendous body control and hand strength. Brown made several one-handed grabs in traffic against the top defenders in attendance. During the testing portion of the event he had the best overall numbers in the 40 yard dash, pro-agility and vertical jump. Expect for Brown to see his stock jump this spring and summer.
Denver Warren (2020)
Warren came into the event looking to win his 3rd consecutive lineman MVP, mission accomplished. He was dominant all night long and won the Trench Warfare competition which measures overall strength. He is on pace to compete for the No.1 overall player in Illinois ranking.
Tyler Morris (2022)
Morris is coming off a state championship season at Nazareth Academy where he saw significant playing time. He walked away with the Class of 2022 MVP award after a strong showing. Morris runs crisp routes and catches the ball away from his body. Expect for the Nazareth offense to be tailored to his skillset next fall.
Mark Gronoski (2020)
Gronoski is no stranger to the BOOM organization after leading them to the 2018 National Championship. He does a good job of throwing his receivers open and allowing them to make plays. The talented junior will be expected to help lead the offense this spring.
Dominic Collado (2020)
Collado was the top offensive lineman in attendance. He was the most difficult opponent that Denver Warren faced all night. Holds early offers from Central Michigan and Kent State.
Jayden McGill (2021)
McGill is a flat out competitor and isn't afraid to get after it. He took reps at quarterback, receiver and defensive back throughout the event. Coaches at the next level will enjoy finding a spot for him on their rosters.
Dontrell Jackson (2022)
The class of 2022 stole the show at the Best of the Best Showcase and "Donny" was right in the mix for the MVP award. Jackson has all the tools to be blue chip recruit at quarterback. He makes good reads and has a quick release to attack defenses. Talented quarterback also tested well during the event.
Justin Jefferson (2020)
Jefferson was a force to be reckoned with the lineman 1v1's and was strongly considered for the MVP award. He is quick off the ball and has a variety of pass rush moves. Jefferson holds an early offer from Northern Illinois University.

The Turkish military has suffered the biggest losses since the start of an offensive against Kurdish enclave of Afrin in northwestern Syria, with 11 soldiers being killed and 11 wounded in clashes with Kurdish militants.
Earlier in the day, two pilots were killed when the Kurdish militia shot down a military helicopter in northwestern Syria. Separately, nine more soldiers were killed during skirmishes between People's Protection Units (YPG) and the Turkish troops.
It was the deadliest day for the Turkish military which faces a resilient militia force in the mountainous terrain of northwestern Syria.
Announcing the helicopter downing, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan tried to play down its impact.
"These things will happen, we are in a war… We might a lose a helicopter, but they'll pay the price for this," the president said in Istanbul on Saturday.
"These things will happen, we are in a war … We might lose a helicopter, but they'll pay the price for this," he said in Istanbul.
The downing of the helicopter was separately confirmed by Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG).
Speaking to Associated Press, YPG Spokesperson Mustafa Bali said the militia fighters shot down the helicopter in Raju, northwest of Afrin.
The incident represented the first aircraft loss for the Turkish military, which launched the campaign against YPG force in Afrin on Jan. 20.
Despite more than 20 days passed, the Turkish troops and its rebel allies seem to make little headways in mountains.
After a four-day pause, the Turkish warplanes resumed airstrikes on Friday and Saturday.
Turkey's Afrin operation has ignited international criticism. Turkey's hint that another assault could take place against Manbij, which is home to the U.S. forces, created tension between two NATO allies.
Presiden Erdogan renewed his demand for withdrawal of the U.S. forces from Manbij. But his plea went unheeded as the U.S. commanders said the U.S. military has no intention of leaving the city.
On Saturday, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov suggested the creation of a new de-escalation zone in Afrin region.
He cited the previous agreement between Russia, Turkey and Iran in Astana talks to create de-escalation zones in Idlib province as the model for a similar scheme in Afrin.

Panel: West Point should rename Lee Barracks, nix KKK art
Published: September 1, 2022, 5:09 PM Updated: September 1, 2022, 7:39 PM
This photo provided by the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, in New York, shows the three bronze panels at one of the entrances to Bartlett Hall, at West Point, that depicts the history of the United States. A commission created by Congress is recommending that multiple historical reminders tied to Confederate officers during the Civil War be removed many honoring Robert E. Lee, one of the academy's most famous graduates. (U.S. Military Academy at West Point via AP)
West Point cadets pass by historical reminders constantly — from Grant Hall and Bradley Barracks to the statues of Douglas MacArthur and Dwight Eisenhower overlooking the parade fields.
Now a commission created by Congress is recommending changes at the storied academy when it comes to buildings, places and memorials that include the names or images of Robert E. Lee and other Confederate officers during the Civil War. The commission also took aim at towering bronze panels in a science building that depict dozens of historical events and people, including a hooded figure above the words "Ku Klux Klan."
The report from the Naming Commission this week on the U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy is part of the military's broader efforts to confront racial injustice. The panel was created to identify Confederacy-affiliated military assets.
The commission last month recommended that nine Army installations honoring Confederate officers be renamed. For West Point, the recommendations include renaming buildings like Lee Barracks and modifying memorials that include Confederate officers.
"The Commissioners do not make these recommendations with any intention of 'erasing history,'" the panel said in its report. "Rather, they make these recommendations to affirm West Point's long tradition of educating future generations of America's military leaders to represent the best of our national ideals."
West Point said it was reviewing the recommendations and will collaborate with the Army to implement changes, once approved.
"As a values-based institution, we are fully committed to creating a climate where everyone is treated with dignity and respect," the academy said in a prepared statement.
More than a half-dozen of the commission's recommendations for West Point involve Lee, who graduated second in his class in 1829 and later served as superintendent at the academy on the Hudson River. That was before he resigned from the U.S. Army to lead Confederate troops during the Civil War.
The commission recommended that Lee Barracks, Lee Road, Lee Gate, Lee Housing Area and Lee Area Child Development Center all be renamed. Also, a portrait of Lee in his Confederate uniform in a library building should be relocated or removed.
And Lee's quote about honor at the academy's "Honor Plaza," should also be removed, the panel said.
The report said Lee's armies "were responsible for the deaths of more United States soldiers than practically any other enemy in our nation's history."
"I think sometimes we forget that Lee didn't fight against the Union. He fought against the United States Army," said Ty Seidule, a retired brigadier general who serves as vice chair of the commission.
Two other Confederate officers in the commission's crosshairs were West Point grads P.G.T. Beauregard and William Hardee. The panel called for Beauregard Place and Hardee Place to be renamed.
The commission also found issues with a trio of 11-foot high bronze plaques at an entrance to Bartlett Hall, which depicts dozens of historical people from Benjamin Franklin to Clara Barton.
The panel said the triptych, dedicated in 1965, should be modified to remove the names and images of Lee and others who served in the Confederacy. The commission also noted that toward the lower left of one of the plaques is the image of an armed man in a hood, with "Ku Klux Klan" written below.
The panel said that while the KKK image is not strictly within its Confederacy-focused mission, "there are clearly ties in the KKK to the Confederacy." They encouraged the U.S. defense secretary to address military assets that highlight the KKK.
West Point said in a statement that the artist, Laura Gardin Fraser, wanted to document "both tragedy and triumph in our nation's history." In a guide to the work, the artist referred to the KKK as "an organization of white people who hid their criminal activity behind a mask and sheet."
The estimated cost of addressing the recommendations is more than $420,000 — with $300,000 of that for changes to Reconciliation Plaza, which includes a series of markers illustrating acts of reconciliation between the North and South. The panel said engraved images that commemorate people who served in the Confederacy should be removed.
The panel said Confederate memorials didn't crop up at West Point until well into the 20th century with the rise of the "lost cause" movement, which emphasized the supposed nobility and righteousness of the South while downplaying the fact that the Confederacy was meant to perpetuate slavery.
Seidule, who headed the history department at West Point and is now a professor at Hamilton College, said this is an opportunity to rename military assets like Lee Barracks for "true American heroes."
"I don't know who that's going to be," he said. "But it will be somebody who fought for their country, not somebody who tried to destroy it."


The White House has launched a new web site where anyone can submit and vote up their most important questions for President Obama.
Activity on the site will culminate in Obama addressing the top questions on Thursday, March 26.
The site is powered by Google Moderator and the usability closely follows the social voting on Digg.
It's perception that's important here.
I've taken part if a few Downing Street E-Petitions but the tone still feels like "Us Against Them". And the result is the Government usually tells you politely to "get stuffed". And that they were right all along.
Only time will tell how Obama chooses to use this platform.

It offers all of those big "quality of life" amenities that everyone searches for. Garner NC Real Estate has maintained steady growth compared to other areas around the country.
Garner is located at the interchange of Interstate 40 and U.S. 70, approximately eight miles south of downtown Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina. Because of Garner's close proximity to Raleigh, all of the amenities and activities that are available in the capital city are a short distance away for Garner residents. Garner offers quick access to the Triangle's first-class universities (N.C. State University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University), and Research Triangle Park.
Based on such metrics as school performance, green space and cultural amenities, Businessweek.com ranked greater Raleigh the best city in the country in 2011. Forbes in 2011 declared the area to be the No. 1 place in America for business and careers. It is the fourth time in the past five years that the area has been ranked No. 1 in this category. Forbes also ranked greater Raleigh as the No. 1 place for families with young children, the No. 2 place for young professionals and No. 2 on its list of the next big boom towns in the United States.


James Turrell was born in 1943 in Los Angeles. He studied experimental psychology and mathematics as an undergraduate at Pomona College, and the fine arts at Claremont Graduate University, where he earned an MFA (both schools are located in southern California). Turrell began working in the 1960s and, like many artists of the period, abandoned conventional painting and sculpture for new media and an expanded definition of art. In 1967, he had his first solo exhibition at the Pasadena Art Museum. His installations are based on the pure experience of artificial and natural light. Ranging in scale from single rooms to the vast Roden Crater project in Arizona, this work has established him as an original and visionary artist. Turrell currently lives and works in Flagstaff, Arizona, and on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

Gear Shift Lever fell off!!!
Just thought I should write a post about this one......riding home the other night in the usual, busy Houston city traffic, in the middle of a 6 lane intersection, I reached for another gear and......nothing.(!) I looked down and saw my gearshift lever flopping around like a fish out of water. Luckily i was able to chug it over to an empty parking lot nearby.
Here's what happened...I guess Herman had to many Warsteiners at lunch and forgot to tighten the pinch bolt from the selector rod/splined input shaft of the gearbox to the correct torque...OR, this was a fault at the dealer that I bought it from. I am not sure if that is part of dealer prep or not. It only took about 30 seconds to fix. Once I got the tool kit out and found the 10mm, slapped it back on and tightened it. Riding home the Gear shift assist pro felt a little different. Upon further inspection, there is a mark on the spline face of the selector that - I assume- should match up with the split of the pinch bolt. Once I did that, it feels correct now.
My bike only has 400 miles on it. In the back of my mind, I figured I would have to do a nut-and-bolt on the whole bike, but I didn't expect the damn thing to fall off. Just thought I would let you guys know and maybe check yours.
Still love the bike. Can't wait to unleash the break-in limit.
Re: Gear Shift Lever fell off!!!
Glad you didn't loose it! Stuff happens and humans can screwup sometimes; however, the XR is rock solid and will provide you miles of smiles.

import re

from .KappaEntity import KappaEntity
from .KappaError import PortParseError, CounterParseError, PortSatisfactionError

class KappaPort(KappaEntity):
    """
Class for representing traditional Kappa Sites, e.g. `s[3]`, `g[.]{b}`, or `k[_]{#}`.

What is an embedding?
---------------------

The statement 'A contains B', or 'A in B', we interpret as meaning 'A embeds in B', specifically 'A satisfied by B',
akin to saying 'B matches A', where 'match' is the inverse mapping to 'embed'. See `KappaPort.embeds_in` and
`KappaPort.matches_to`
Besides typing (e.g. can't satisfy `KappaPort` with a `KappaCounter`), this satisfaction requires three true components,
the name, the internal state, and the bond state.

Site names are only satisfied by equality of their string representation.

Internal state truth table
--------------------------

* `s{#} in s{#}` <= True
* `s{a} in s{#}` <= False
* `s{#} in s{a}` <= True
* `s{a} in s{a}` <= True
* `s{a} in s{b}` <= False

Bond state truth table
----------------------

* `s[#] in [#]` <= True
* `s[_] in [#]` <= False
* `s[.] in [#]` <= False
* `s[8] in [#]` <= False

Staffing Alternatives for Community Residential Settings: Leasing Employees from Day Training and Habilitation Programs During the COVID-19 Outbreak
By Andrew P. Holm, Katherine B. Ilten and Sam Orbovich
The staffing shortage faced by Minnesota's Community Residential Settings (CRS) has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 outbreak, making it even more challenging for CRSs to meet their staffing obligations. At the same time, COVID-19 has resulted in some day training and habilitation (DT&H) programs closing their doors, at least temporarily. This means that residential consumers who would routinely spend a significant portion of their day at their DT&H must remain at their residential setting, putting even more stress on the CRS's staff. This article provides an overview of how a DT&H program may use an employee lease agreement to lease employees to a CRS.
Under a typical employee lease agreement, sometimes referred to as a "secondment" agreement, the DT&H program would "loan" its employees to CRS in exchange for payment based on the number of hours worked by each leased employee. The CRS would likely oversee the day-to-day work of the employees, while the DT&H program would retain responsibility for paying wages, payroll and other taxes, and other benefits and costs typically incurred by an employer. An employee lease agreement may be an option for other organizations facing staffing shortages, such as skilled nursing facilities or assisted living facilities, if they can identify a willing employer who has furloughed their staff, and if that staff is trainable.
Until now, employee leasing agreements were not commonly used by residential providers in Minnesota, but this contractual arrangement has been relied on in many other settings.
What are key issues to address in an employee leasing agreement?
There are several important issues that the parties should address, including:
The duration of the agreement, scope of services to be provided and location where the services will be performed;
Rate of compensation for the leased employees;
Which party is responsible for workers' compensation coverage;
The CRS's ability to seek reimbursement from third party payers for the services provided by the leased employees;
Confidentiality obligations imposed on the leased employees;
Required experience, licensure or certification of the leased employees and the CRS's ability to approve or reject proposed leased employees;
Insurance coverage obtained by the DT&H program and/or the CRS;
Non-solicitation or non-hire obligations of the parties with respect to the leased employees;
Indemnification obligations;
Responsibility for payment of wages, benefits, payroll taxes and other costs typically borne by an employer; and
Training and supervision of the leased employees.
What about background checks or other regulatory requirements?
The parties should ensure compliance with Minnesota Statutes Chapter 245C governing background checks, which may require a background check initiated by the CRS prior to commencement of services by the leased employee, even if he or she has already been vetted by the DT&H program. Be mindful, however that CMS, DHS and MDH are all in the process of relaxing certain regulatory standards in response to the COVID-19 crisis. The parties to any employee leasing agreement should track and adhere to all shifting standards.

This manual was developed to assist organizations interested in developing and strengthening supportive AIDS housing programs as well as to help experienced providers enhance their current services. It contains links to useful documents, regulations, sample policies and other materials you will find educational and pertinent to your work.
These sample policies, procedures and forms were originally culled from the resources generously provided to us by members of the Connecticut AIDS Resource Coalition in 2002. To insure relevance, the manual was reviewed and revised with the input of CARC member agencies in 2010. Each section offers a simple but comprehensive way to offer services that will enrich the lives of your residents and improve the functioning of your program. While materials you find here are generally provided as minimum definitions, some great practices are also offered from the field for agencies interested in exploring new models of service provision. Other offerings are bare templates designed to be further developed at the provider level taking into account member agencies' histories and missions, individual funding requirements and unique populations and targets.
In some areas of this manual you will find more than one policy and procedure for a given topic. The intent is to provide complimentary as well as contrasting policies and procedures that have proven effective. The aim is to demonstrate the diversity found among the programs operating supportive AIDS housing programs in Connecticut. Ultimately, each provider will find what works best to meet the needs of their individual residents, programs and funders.
This project continues as a collaborative process of Coalition member agencies and consumers. It could not have been done without our member agencies willing to share their policies and procedures. The original creators were Laura Thornton and Eileen McCarthy with design by Cherie Mittenthal.

A grateful shout-out to all for their hard work.
The policies & procedures in this manual are designed for the specific housing models presented below, however they have been useful to providers of other types of residential programs such as long term care facilities and shelters that support the victims of domestic violence. The level of functioning of residents will vary for each program. People in programs that offer greater support tend to be sicker, and have typically counted on fewer social and family supports. In recent years, public policy has created barriers to shelter for people with criminal offences including sexual offences as well as for those with no ability to pay for housing or services. Please note that services associated with each model may be provided in-house or by referral, but all efforts to obtain services and results of all efforts including referrals for service should be documented by the housing staff in client files.
An Emergency Shelter is a facility that meets the basic needs for food and shelter on an emergency or short-term basis. Eligible residents are individuals or families with HIV/AIDS who are homeless. Services provided by the shelters are designed to increase residents' stability, skill levels and self-determination with an ultimate goal of helping people find long term, appropriate housing. Residents are not denied services due to an inability to pay.
A Transitional Living Program is either congregate or scattered site housing and is intended to prepare residents for transition in long-term, appropriate housing. Eligible residents are individuals or families with HIV/AIDS who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. Residents are not denied support services due to the inability to pay a fee and may or may not be required to enter into a lease. Residents are required to participate in services. Services provided by the AIDS housing program are designed to increase residents' stability, skill levels, and self-determination and transition them into permanent housing within a 12-24 month period.
An Independent Living Program may be individual apartments, with or without a subsidy, or a shared living program. Eligible residents are individuals or families with HIV/AIDS who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. Residents are fairly independent, able to manage activities of daily living, and need some support and structure.
A Supportive Living Program is a group residence or hospice program designed for people with HIV/AIDS that may include people discharged from hospitals, nursing homes or other care facilities who are not well enough to return to a setting without 24 hour supervision. Please note that SLP care does not necessarily include 24 hour nursing or medical care. Eligible residents are individuals with HIV/AIDS who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Residents may have a substance use or mental health history and/or may have a diminished capacity to manage their activities of daily living (ADLs) and require a supportive and structured environment. Hospice or terminal care is included in this category. Participation in services by residents is required. No one is denied services due to inability to pay a fee.


Below is a cut and paste from section 8.4.1 of the page.
If you are a die-hard command line fan you can use the utility 'certtool' that is included with Mac OS X. It works for me but I did not look into this much because the command line scares off most users. Anyway, here are the commands for importing a file in PKCS#12 format. This example assume the file is called 'yourcrt.p12'.
You will be asked three times for the certificate password. After that, you will be asked for the Keychain Access password and then for your login password.
A word of advice: copy, paste and execute these lines one by one in a Terminal window. Typing them is error prone.
In doing the steps above it allowed me toimport a user certificate and a host certificate to allow me to configure L2TP from internet conect using only certs.

Javier Cercas Mena, né le  à Ibahernando, dans la province de Cáceres, est un écrivain et traducteur espagnol. Il est également chroniqueur du journal El País.

Biographie

Jeunesse et formation
Il est le fils d'un vétérinaire de campagne qui s'installe à Gérone en 1966 alors que Javier est âgé de quatre ans. Il y étudie chez les maristes.

À quinze ans, il découvre Jorge Luis Borges qui va durablement marquer son œuvre.

En 1985, il amorce des études en philologie espagnole à l'université autonome de Barcelone où il obtient ses premiers diplômes. Il poursuit dans la même spécialité à l'université de Barcelone jusqu'à l'obtention d'un doctorat.

Carrières universitaire et littéraire
Après ses études, il travaille deux ans à l'université de l'Illinois à Urbana-Champaign. Il publie aux États-Unis un recueil de nouvelles qui reprend pour titre celui du court roman qu'il contient, Le Mobile (El móvil, 1987), qui sera republié séparément en 2003. Cercas écrit également aux États-Unis son deuxième roman, À petites foulées (El inquilino), paru en 1989, l'année même où il est nommé professeur de littérature espagnole à l'université de Gérone.

En 1994, Cercas publie l'essai La obra literaria de Gonzalo Suárez (littéralement : L'œuvre littéraire de Gonzalo Suárez), sur le célèbre cinéaste et romancier, puis le roman El vientre de la ballena (1997) qui passe inaperçu. Encore peu connu comme écrivain, il continue de recevoir les encouragements à écrire de son ami, le célèbre romancier chilien Roberto Bolaño, qui est persuadé de son talent.

La notoriété vient à Javier Cercas avec son roman Les Soldats de Salamine (Soldados de Salamina, 2001), révélé par Mario Vargas Llosa dans un article célèbre, et qui obtient, par ailleurs, les éloges de John Maxwell Coetzee, Doris Lessing et Susan Sontag. Les Soldats de Salamine se présente comme une recherche historique menée par un journaliste sur un épisode de la vie d'un personnage réel de la guerre civile espagnole, l'idéologue de la Phalange et écrivain Rafael Sánchez Mazas, celui dans lequel ce personnage parvient à s'échapper d'un peloton d'exécution républicain. Il est poursuivi et retrouvé par un milicien qui le regarde et le laisse partir, ce qui lui sauve la vie. L'intrigue du roman est la recherche de l'identité de ce personnage anonyme.

Le roman À la vitesse de la lumière (La velocidad de la luz, 2005), a également pour sujet un conflit armé, cette fois la guerre du Viêt Nam, où, contrairement à ce qu'il développait dans ses œuvres précédentes, il refuse tout message d'espoir et plonge dans le mal qui se trouve tout autant que le bien dans le cœur humain. En parallèle au récit du soldat brisé par la culpabilité se déploie le récit d'un auteur espagnol bouleversé par le grand succès de son précédent roman. En 2017, le film El autor, réalisé par Manuel Martín Cuenca, est une adaptation de ce roman, avec Javier Gutiérrez dans le rôle de l'écrivain.

Le recueil de divers textes intitulé La verdad de Agamenón se compose de quatre parties : Autobiografías parle de voyages, de passions et de souvenirs personnels ; Cartas de batalla est constitué de textes controversés sur l'histoire et la littérature récente ; Nuevos relatos reales sont des histoires humoristiques et Los contemporáneos sont des essais sur des écrivains admirés par auteur.

Le roman Anatomie d'un instant (Anatomía de un instante, 2009) est l'analyse de la figure d'Adolfo Suárez, lors de la tentative de coup d'État de 1981 en Espagne. Ce roman, que l'on peut aussi considérer comme un essai, est devenu un best-seller lors de la fête de Sant Jordi en 2009.

Cercas s'est largement inspiré d'El Vaquilla pour créer le personnage de Zarco dans son roman Les Lois de la frontière (Las leyes de la frontera, 2012).

En 2014, il publie un nouveau roman, L'Imposteur (El impostor). Si ce roman, de nouveau, n'est pas une simple fiction, il est enrichi des fictions de son personnage principal, Enric Marco. Figure réelle et médiatique de l'Espagne du  post-franquiste, Enric Marco s'est tour à tour présenté comme un fervent anti-franquiste, un profond anti-fasciste et même une victime de la politique concentrationnaire des nazis. En somme et dans tous les cas de figure, un résistant. Or ses mensonges ont été dévoilés et l'homme cloué au pilori médiatique. Javier Cercas s'interroge sur ce don Quichotte moderne, ce Narcisse fabulateur qui refuse la médiocrité de sa vie, de son humanité et qui, par conséquent, remplit ce vide de son jeu d'acteur cabot, de ses paroles d'écrivain kitsch.

En 2017, il publie Le monarque de l'ombre (El monarca de la sombra), roman dans lequel il se plonge dans son histoire familiale à travers la figure de l'oncle de sa mère, soldat franquiste mort lors de la bataille de l'Ebre à l'âge de 19 ans durant la guerre civile espagnole.

Javier Cercas remporte le  (2001), le prix Grinzane-Cavour (2003), le prix de la Critique du Chili, le prix de la ville de Barcelone et de la ville de Carthagène, le deuxième prix Librero (2001) et la  (2005), tous accordés par la critique. Il remporte le prestigieux prix Méditerranée étranger en 2014 pour cinquième roman, Les Lois de la frontière (2014). Prix Ulysse en 2013 pour l'ensemble de son œuvre.

Son œuvre est traduite dans plus de vingt langues.

Outre son travail de romancier, Javier Cercas est un collaborateur régulier de l'édition catalane et du supplément dominical du journal El País. Il est aussi un chroniqueur. Ses articles sont rassemblés dans Una buena temporada (1998) et Relatos reales (2000).

Cigarette use in decline on National No Smoking Day
Gemma Murray
Today (March 8) is National No Smoking Day, and appropriately, new figures released show that the number of smokers is at its lowest level since records began in 1974.
The new data shows that 17.2 per cent of adults were smokers in 2015, down from 20.1 per cent in 2010.
Levels of smokers are highest in Scotland, at 19.1 per cent just ahead of Northern Ireland. However, north of the border has seen the fastest drop in smokers, along with Wales.
The daily number of cigarettes smoked is also down, to 11 - 33 per cent less than the peak in 1976.
Vaping levels now stand at 2.3 million, with half of e-cig users saying they are using them as a means to quit. A further 22 per cent said they were vaping for health reasons, but despite cigarettes again expected to be a tax target in today's Budget, only one in 10 e-cigarette users said they chose to vape because it was cheaper than buying cigarettes.
The NHS offer 10 tips to stop smoking:
You might have tried to quit smoking before and not managed it, but don't let that put you off. Look back at the things your experience has taught you and think about how you're really going to do it this time.
Make a plan to quit smoking
Make a promise, set a date and stick to it. Sticking to the 'not a drag' rule can really help. Whenever you find yourself in difficulty say to yourself, "I will not have even a single drag" and stick with this until the cravings pass.
Think ahead to times where it might be difficult - a party for instance - and plan your actions and escape routes in advance.
Consider your diet
Is your after-dinner cigarette your favourite? A US study revealed that some foods, including meat, make cigarettes more satisfying. Others, including cheese, fruit and vegetables, make cigarettes taste terrible. So swap your usual steak or burger for a veggie pizza instead.
You may also want to change your routine at or after mealtimes. Getting up and doing the dishes straight away, or settling down in a room where you don't smoke may help.
Change your drink
The same study looked at drinks. Fizzy drinks, alcohol, cola, tea and coffee all make cigarettes taste better. So when you're out, drink more water and juice. Some people find simply changing their drink (for example, switching from wine to a vodka and tomato juice) affects their need to reach for a cigarette.
Identify when you crave cigarettes
A craving can last five minutes. Before you give up, make a list of five-minute strategies. For example, you could leave the party for a minute, dance, or go to the bar. And think about this: the combination of smoking and drinking raises your risk of mouth cancer by 38 times.
Get some stop smoking support
If friends or family members want to give up too, suggest to them that you give up together.
There is also support available from your local stop smoking service. Did you know that you're up to four times more likely to quit successfully with their expert help and advice?
You can also call the NHS Smokefree Helpline on 0300 123 1044 open Monday to Friday 9am to 8pm, and Saturday to Sunday 11am to 4pm.
A review of scientific studies has proved exercise – even a five-minute walk or stretch – cuts cravings and may help your brain produce anti-craving chemicals.
Make non-smoking friends
When you're at a party, stick with the non-smokers. "When you look at the smokers, don't envy them," says Louise, 52, an ex-smoker. "Think of what they're doing as a bit strange – lighting a small white tube and breathing in smoke."
Keep your hands and mouth busy
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) can double your chances of success.
As well as patches, there are tablets, lozenges, gum and a nasal spray. And if you like holding a cigarette, there are handheld products like the inhalator. There are also e-cigarettes.
When you're out, try putting your drink in the hand that usually holds a cigarette, or drink from a straw to keep your mouth busy.
Make a list of reasons to quit
Keep reminding yourself why you made the decision to give up. Make a list of the reasons and read it when you need support. Ex-smoker Chris, 28, says: "I used to take a picture of my baby daughter with me when I went out. If I was tempted, I'd look at that."

Quite often people see getting started on any change in their life as such a difficult thought process. I think it's important to note that simply recognising a change is needed no matter the level; is the ultimate starting point. Already you are in the zone to welcome some adjustments and from that point; simply start to think of some changes. Be honest with yourself; be fair; realistic and practical.
To make these goals reality, you need to align them with the lifestyle you wish to lead. No point wishing to be a marathon runner if you hate running. Write them down. There is huge power in writing your goals down and start thinking about your plan of action. Start basic; you might start with something like "I want to run 5 kilometres or I want to feel good in my swim suit! I want to improve my diet; I want to be able to keep up with my kids or lower my cholesterol. I want to lose 10 kilos or I want that girl from the coffee shop to notice me!" Whatever the goal, no matter how eccentric it seems at first; if it's driving you then go with it. Put pen to paper; because that's the hardest part.
Productivity studies show that you really can't focus on more than 5–7 items at any one time. Overloading our wish list can lead to losing focus and accomplishing very little. Instead, focus on a handful of goals that you can repeat almost from memory.
Create a system you can identify with. Although interpreted in various ways; I relate with the below.
Specific: Identify your goal, as simplified and specific as possible. WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, WHICH.
Measurable: You cannot manage what you can't measure. The result should be something tangible, like a waistline measurement or a weight in kg.
Attainable and achievable: Make sure your goals are realistic and attainable in your given time frame and considered variables.
Relevant: Is the goal worthwhile and what does it mean to you if it's achieved. Is this goal consistent with other goals? Does this goal fit in with immediate and short term plans? A good goal should test you, but you have to add a dose of common sense.
Timely: Every goal should have a time association with it, something to work towards. It will establish the sense of urgency and prompt you to manage your variables better.
Making and marking your commitment to your cause comes from a place that wants to make a change more than anything. Sticking by that can only come from within. It's you, your goal, and your measurable motivation you have to make it real. Your commitment with define your results. Give 70%, expect 70% results. Give 100%, expect 100% results!
There's committing and then there is over committing. The saying goes, you have to crawl before you walk; and I absolutely promote this; mastering things bit by bit at a steady pace is vital. Don't bite off more than you can chew too early. Back in my early days, I regularly threw in the towel; so I know how easy it is to do. Try by starting slow, if weight loss is your goal; a few changes to your diet to begin with best. Start by making a few better food choices then follow on with portions. Going straight for the bare minimum and complete deprivation can compromise the longevity of your actions. Remember we're looking for something sustainable and you need to have somewhere to go.
Keep doing the same thing, expect the same results. If you truly want changes you need to make changes, and getting out of your 'safe' zone is the fastest way there. When you start to feel challenged by your steps to your goals that's where the magic happens. Will power; a target to strive for in itself but if applied correctly in your system you're in for rewarding results. This might be simply committing to join a gym, invest in a trainer or take part in group fitness classes. Not everyone is naturally comforted by these situations; but when you know they are going to get us closer to our goals it might just be worth jumping in the deep end.
Make time your friend. The more time you give yourself to reach a goal the more likely it is you will reach it. On the flip side deadlines are the ideal way to keep you motivated and on track as well; so being realistic here is what will make the difference. It takes 4 weeks for you to notice a change, 8 weeks for others to notice a change and 12 weeks for the world to be praising you and your achievements.
It's not the things we do occasionally that change us; it's the things we do every day. It's being aware of your food choices every day. It's following a training program. It's being organised and prepared, and making the best decisions in any given situation! Its life – and it's about creating a lifestyle that allows you to have freedom of choice while reaching goals. It's not about giving up everything you love at all. In fact it's cracking the code to have everything you want in a healthy manner. It's how I design all my programs -and it works.
Being prepared for everything is the best frame of mind to have. Be prepared for a bad day – because you won't have good days every day! And that's actually fine because some days you conquer, and some days you grow. For example one big night out won't ruin your progress; it may rock the boat but you need to carry on. Be prepared to leave yesterday behind and start fresh each morning with the best intentions. Be prepared physically – your body will start to change for the better, it may start to need a little extra care from time to time so nurture as you proceed. Warm up accordingly before physical activity, stretch accordingly after physical activity, get more sleep and drink more water. A few simple starters!
Have support; because there will be days that you might want to give it away. Choose selectively, your family, friends, partner, work colleagues, a coach; anyone who you think is going to keep you on track, who doesn't mind a bit of whinging! Pick someone who perhaps possesses qualities that align with your goals and who know your direction is to better your life. Surround yourself with people who motivate you and encourage you on your journey that will be happy for you and your successes. Distance yourself from temptations or situations/people that may negatively affect your progress. OWN YOUR JOURNEY! After all you're on a mission to become the best version of yourself.
Last but nowhere near least, back yourself in. Celebrate all wins big or small and don't forget to have fun! We don't know when our time may be up. And whilst taking on a journey to better health I advocate enjoying your life along the way. That means birthday cake and a glass of wine makes it into the menu here and there.
It can be done; you can have it all, and if this has set of any alarm bells to get started on something today; I'd love to hear from you so we can discuss a course of action!


Colorectal cancer has an alarmingly high rate of diagnosis and mortality. Currently, it is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths. But, this isn't what makes it alarming. Instead, the thing that makes these numbers so disturbing is the fact that colorectal cancer is largely preventable. In fact, over half of all cases of colorectal cancer could be avoided through timely screenings.
Colorectal cancer develops slowly, over a course of many years and, in most cases, begins as a polyp. This type of growth along the inner surface of the colon may be completely benign. In fact, most are. However, some are considered pre-cancerous, and it is these that account for the majority of colorectal cancer diagnoses.
Identifying polyps early in their development, before they have the opportunity to grow into cancer, is critical in the prevention of colorectal cancer. This is why guidelines recommend that both men and women of average risk begin screenings such as colonoscopies at age 50, and sooner for those who are determined to be at a higher risk. The development of colorectal cancer, more so than any other, hinges on early detection.
How is Colorectal Cancer Detected Early?
Colonoscopy is the most recognizable treatment for the detection of colorectal cancer and various other colorectal diseases. Through this procedure, physicians can view the colon and look for abnormalities while using a camera and a small, flexible tube. Not only this, but if any potential problems are seen, a biopsy can be taken for immediate testing. For these reasons, colonoscopies set the bar for screening procedures. However, patients should note that there are other options that can help indicate the presence of a problem.
A concerning result on any of these tests is an indication to investigate further, sometimes with life-saving results.
Colorectal cancer is far too easily detected and prevented to be associated with such a high mortality rate. Education is crucial in driving home the importance of timely screening. Patients should speak with their physician to understand their own potential risk for developing the disease and follow proper screening measures.
All it takes is a simple test to potentially save a life.


Many breakfast products contain a great deal of sugar and simple carbohydrates. After an entire night of fasting, the simple carbs are digested quickly, causing your blood sugar and insulin levels to rise quickly. Your body stops burning fat and starts storing the simple carbohydrates as fat. Even worse, after the simple carbs are digested, you experience an energy crash and then begin craving food in just a few hours. In contrast, complex carbohydrates, like whole grains or plain oatmeal, provide lasting energy. Their absorption takes longer, preventing large swings in your blood sugar. Adding protein and fat to your meal will also help level out your blood sugar. With a healthy combination of complex carbohydrates, protein, and fat, you'll feel full for longer and get power out of the complex nutrients.
The habit of breakfast has been manufactured by the modern food industry. Food companies have invested millions to convince us that their breakfast products are the best. "Healthy" products are marketed to convince us that sugar-coated cereal or pastries are the best choice and they are not! It may take more effort on your part, but it is important to ignore the advertising and make your own decisions. The easiest way to do this is to read nutritional labels. On each food product, you'll find the real breakdown of carbs, protein, and fat. With this information, you can make your own decisions about what is healthy and what isn't.
Did you know that a glass of orange juice contains more sugar than a glass of Coke?
If you look at the nutritional labels, you'll find this to be true. This doesn't mean that Coke is the better choice, but drinking lots of juice isn't the right option either. Juice contains a lot of the simple sugar fructose, which has been associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and type II diabetes. Drink water instead.
Whether you regularly eat one, two, or three meals a day, it's important to eat enough calories and stick to a routine. By doing so, your body will learn when it can burn fat.
Some people skip breakfast their whole lives while staying healthy and maintaining their weight. This is perfectly fine. It means that their bodies have adapted to their routine and learned to function without breakfast. If these people changed up their routine and began sporadically eating breakfast, their bodies would get confused and begin to put on weight.
Many people tend to eat irregularly. They have breakfast one day, but then skip it the next day. In these cases, the body becomes confused and unsure of when the next meal may be. To compensate, the body stores more fat in order to "survive" the next fasting phase. If you eat breakfast irregularly, stay consistent by eating a good breakfast each day.
· Steer clear of sugary foods. Choose whole, natural foods with a mix of fat, carbs, and protein to keep you satisfied.
· Adding protein to your breakfast can help you stay full for longer and keep constant energy during the day.
· Try new recipes. Combine eggs, spinach, mushrooms, vegetables, ham, or cottage cheese with complex carbs.
· If you have lived a healthy life without eating breakfast daily, it is fine to continue.
· If you sporadically eat breakfast, it may help to make it a regular habit. Try it for a week and decide for yourself.

As a traumatic life experience, sexual-assault can have a life-long impact on an individual's overall health, including their psychological well-being. As a traumatic life experience, sexual-assault can have a life-long impact on an individual's overall health, including their psychological well-being. The goal of this review is to effectively examine the role that trauma plays in the survivors' well-being and prevalent interventions that facilitate healing and recovery. The paper also seeks to highlight the role played by differences in cultural backgrounds and gender identities in aggravating the trauma associated with sexual violence. Six databases including PubMed, PsychINFO, JSTOR, Wiley Online Library, Academia.edu, and EBSCO were searched for studies on the impact of sexual assault on cisgendered females and transgendered females. The key findings were summarized under three themes: Physical- Impact, Psychological-Impact, and Interventions and Help-seeking attitudes among Sexual- Assault Survivors. The physical-impact of sexual-assault discusses the differences between help- seeking attitudes for physical symptoms and psychological distress, highlighting the common resultant physical symptoms – tension headaches, nausea, back pain, allergies, skin disorders, etc. The psychological-impact points out the subsequent health impact this experience has on the survivors' well-being and self-image, including depression, PTSD, anxiety, and other such issues. It also highlights the role of self-stigma, cultural differences, and revictimization in aggravating the distress. The importance of legal, medical, mental health and community systems responsible for intervening are discussed under the theme of interventions. Currently, most interventions are focused on providing medical and legal aid. While these social systems also need to be strengthened, the need for developing psychological interventions at par with these systems has also been emphasized upon. Finally, further suggestions for an ecological model have also been discussed.

The medium and the message will both be Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the Gujarat elections. He will carpet bomb Gujarat with monthly visits extending occasionally up to two days, as the latest one did, with the elections expected at the end of this year. This was Modi's fifth visit to his home state this year. His chief aide and party president, Amit Shah, has virtually parked himself in the state and even held meetings with booth level workers saying "we have to win 150 plus seats to return our debt to Narendra bhai".
Contrast that with the shambolic Congress campaign. Gujarat state chief Bharat Solanki put on a brave face and told me, "these frequent visits by the PM are a political compulsion to bolster a weak local state leadership". But, can the Congress afford to be so complacent? It barely has a leadership in place with septuagenarian Shankersinh Vaghela threatening weekly rebellions.
With newbie Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) reviewing its plans to contest the elections in Gujarat in order to retrieve its only government in Delhi, it will be a direct face-off between the Congress and BJP again.
Sources within both the BJP and the Congress point to a very interesting strategy in "Project Vaghela" chalked out by Shah which will be a "tactical strategic win" against the Congress. It ensures that Vaghela sits at home without formally defecting to the BJP and keeps chipping away at the Congress and making attacks on the leadership.
Sensing the potential of the threat, Ahmed Patel, political secretary to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, tried to smoke the peace pipe with Vaghela and offered him a Rajya Sabha seat. Vaghela promptly went public with the offer at a meeting of supporters on July 24 and on how he declined it because he wants to stay in Gujarat. At the same show of strength, Vaghela dramatically said he no longer "owes any loyalty to Sonia Gandhi" and emotional crowds screamed "Bapu tum sangarsh karo (Bapu keep fighting)".
Says a senior Congress leader wryly, "imagine if the Kushwahas had been persuaded to sit at home and not vote in the UP election. This is what it amounts to." The Congressman said that though declining, Vaghela still has a base among the upper caste and a lot of party MLAs back him. "By ensuring he is damaging the party from within, Shah has achieved a lot. That is why Ahmed Patel tried to placate him."
Effectively, Vaghela wants to defeat his arch rival Solanki without even fighting the battle. After his public attack on Sonia Gandhi, he has next lined up a letter he has allegedly written to Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, questioning his leadership.
Vaghela is challenging the Congress publicly to throw him out of the party. And as has become the norm with the party's leadership, it is displaying its lack of political smarts, also evident by the tortuous amount of time it took to decide on a nominee for the Presidential election, allowing Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to slip away to the BJP's side and putting a huge question mark on opposition unity.
"We are now in permanent reactive mode. We careen from crisis to crisis. One day we placate Amarinder Singh not to abandon us, another day it is Kamal Nath. If we are not willing to give in to Vaghela we should expel him but for that you need a leader. Our leader works only 9 to 5 and needs plenty of vacations," says a Congress leader in a biting reference to Rahul Gandhi.
Gandhi has been away on a trip to see his grandmother in Italy, his third holiday this year, while Shah is working round the clock to ensure a record win in the Gujarat elections. Shah did not even take a week off for his son's wedding and at 52 is only five years older than Gandhi, 47.
Modi virtually kicked off the BJP's election campaign yesterday by invoking Mahatma Gandhi and finally condemning the serial vigilante attacks by the so called "gau rakshaks". It will be Modi versus the rest, as the well-oiled BJP campaign now goes in to overdrive. The pitch decided by Shah is emotional: "Proud Gujaratis owe it to the son of the soil".
He is ensuring that even all booth workers hear from him. The Congress, after 20 years of being out of work, is in a shambles. Worse they don't seem to have any strategy to take on a towering Modi.
"A lot of anti-incumbency exists and we are working on the ground," says Solanki.
There would have been no better place than Gujarat to script the Congress's come-back as the Dalits, post Una, and the Patidaars were both upset with the BJP. "Gandhi should have parked himself here and led the agitation from the front. It would have shown political imagination to take on Modi and Shah at home. Unfortunately, now the BJP has the edge," says a senior Congress leader who had advised Gandhi to "Go and stay in Gujarat".
Gandhi went on holiday instead.
