Resource, a key word for any SME or startup. Something which is in limited quantity but required manifold. How do you fight resource constraint and still ensure smooth, seamless, business process? The answer is technology.
Technology has the power to give more ROI than even the smartest investment plan. The reason: scalability. By investing in the right kind of technology, SMEs and startups can create value for themselves and for their clients.
With multiple public cloud services providers competing in the space, choosing the best cloud service provider for your business is indeed a tough call.
Before moving on to the criteria on the basis of which the CSPs should be chosen, let us look at the key cloud service providers, in today's market: they are Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Although there are many other players in the market, as well, but these three are currently ruling the CSP market.
If you are a small business, a startup, or even an SME, chances are that you have given cloud computing some thought. If you are one of those businesses that believe in staying ahead of the game, you might already be hosting on the cloud instead of using a physical datacenter.

Artillery Row Election 2019
The realignment election
Can the Tories win enough old Labour seats to compensate their losses elsewhere?
I wrote on Wednesday about the decades-long decline of the Labour vote in the coalfields. The recent YouGov MRP model of constituency results suggests that the 2019 election will indeed see a number of ex-mining constituencies turn Tory for the first time ever, or which only centenarians can possibly remember having a Tory MP. On top of the 21 coalfield seats that were blue in 2017, YouGov projects another 12 to fall: Wakefield, Penistone & Stockbridge, Ashfield, Rother Valley, Bishop Auckland, Don Valley, Bassetlaw, Bolsover, Wrexham, Clwyd South and Leigh. This would give the Tories 33 out of 80 ex-mining constituencies, nearly the same as my crude projection on uniform swing did yesterday. Leigh is the most unexpected entry to this list – a seat that was Liberal from its creation in 1885 until 1922, when it went Labour and stayed that way usually by very large margins.
I'm interested in long term electoral change and one easy way of reckoning it is to take two elections with similar overall outcomes and see which seats have switched sides between the two. With an 11-point Conservative lead (43 per cent to 32 per cent) the voting intention figures driving the YouGov model are very close to what they were in 1987, at least as far as the big parties are concerned. Although two rounds of boundary changes cloud the comparison a bit, we can make out the principal movements over the 32 years since the Tories last won a comfortable majority.
For the purposes of this exercise, I'll assume – as everyone seems to be doing in the commentary business – that the YouGov MRP model is completely accurate, although of course no model can really claim that and there are still two weeks to go until polling day. I'll also exclude Scotland, because Scotland's voting patterns have become ever more detached from England and Wales and the rise of the SNP is the dominant feature of change.
Map: Blue indicates a seat that was Labour in 1987 but projected Conservative in 2019; red indicates the reverse situation. Scotland excluded. Data from YouGov MRP model, map via Wikimedia Commons.
First, I'll take the 30 seats that have gone from Labour in 1987 to Conservative in the 2019 model. They form a very clear geographical pattern concentrated in mining and other former single industry towns in the North and Midlands. As well as the 12 coalfield seats projected to flip in 2019, there are another 4 that have already gone since 1987. A clean sweep for the Tories is projected in the Potteries, astonishing given their working-class history and composition. Four change in the Black Country. Single-industry and free-standing towns to abandon Labour since 1987 would be Crewe & Nantwich, Workington, Great Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Carlisle and Copeland. The common factor is their class and ethnic make-up – white working-class areas with ageing populations who have been Labour on economic grounds but often socially conservative. The odd ones out are perennial marginals Dewsbury and Telford.
More than twice as many constituencies have flipped in the opposite direction – 69 were Conservative in 1987 and Labour in the 2019 model even given the dent that the MRP result would put in Labour's strength. London is doing the heavy lifting for Labour, with no fewer than 25 blue-to-red constituencies mostly to be found in the constituencies halfway between the centre and the edge of the capital – Streatham, Edmonton, Brentford, even Walthamstow; the Tories did very well indeed in London in 1987. The long-term trends in London – demographic, economic – since the early 1990s go a long way to balancing out the rightward shift in the former coalfields, and there is similar inexorable demography at work.
For Labour there are simply not that many city, suburb and university town seats left to win
As well as London, the larger cities in the rest of England and Wales have had a metropolitan red shift. The core cities of Bristol, Nottingham, Cardiff, Brighton and Leeds deliver 11 seats, and suburban and satellite towns in the orbit of Liverpool (7), Manchester (5) and other large cities yield another 14. Linked to this set of blue to red seats are another group of 10 from smaller cities and towns associated with the presence of a university – Canterbury is the most extreme example but we also have Portsmouth South and Reading East. It is not just the students – Conservative support among university staff and other professionals who tend to live in the same part of town as the university has fallen steeply since the 1980s. Slough and Luton contribute three southern seats with rising BAME populations, and as with the red to blue seats there are a handful of oddities – Lincoln, Delyn and Batley & Spen.
Two very broad things are happening to electoral geography. The first is that places change; mining employment disappears and so does its strong tradition of worker solidarity, middle class London suburbs become increasingly ethnically mixed and youthful. The second is that the basis of party support changes. The Stoke seats would still be safe Labour and Canterbury safe Conservative if the electoral divides of 1987 were still in place – class, housing and north/ south. Just looking at the net transfer between the two parties, one might be tempted to say that Labour has had the best of the exchange – gaining 70 seats from the Tories for the loss of 30 helps explain why an 11-point Tory lead produced a majority of 100 in 1987 but only 68 on the 2019 projection. But Labour is coming close to exhausting this potential source of gains – there are simply not that many city, suburb and university town seats left to win, while the Tories still have room to grow in the white working class towns.

Mom Walks In On Adolescent Son Touching Face
Vancouver, BC —
"I never thought I would be in this situation, but here I am: the mom who accidentally walked in on her teenage son in the middle of touching himself!" 47-year-old Jen Krahn told Unsubscribed. "Yesterday, I walked into my son Chris's room to drop off his laundry, like I normally do. It was in the middle of the day, so I didn't think twice about going in unannounced. It took me a brief moment to put two and two together and realize what was going on. I can't believe he would be stroking his face during a pandemic."
Krahn continued: "I remember him immediately turning away from me then yelling, 'Hey! Please knock!!' He tried to cover up by saying he was masturbating, but I knew the only balls he was massaging were his eyeballs, and clearly that was his nose he was rubbing his hand up and down on. I just said 'CHRIS! OH MY GOD!' before closing his door and leaving, and through the door I yelled 'By the way, hurry up!'
"I walked out to give him time to clean up and wash his hands, and to give myself time to regain my composure, because I was so mortified. I realized, though, that Chris was curious, and it's important to remember that the urge to rub out an itch will always be there. And seeing as we are in the middle of a pandemic, I had a heart-to-heart with Chris about the natural urge to put your hands on your face. It's important he keeps control and know there's a time and a place. I made it as simple as possible: Non-pandemic = okay, Coronavirusfest 2020 = HANDS OFF, ASSHOLE.
"I asked him if he had any questions. He did. He asked why his face gets itchy at times. I told him that sometimes it can feel good to touch it, but I'd prefer he did that sort of thing in the shower so I didn't have to worry about him getting coronavirus everywhere. There are five other people in this household to consider. He said he's not going to do it again, but every parent knows that's a lie. Chris will be at it again in less than 24 hours. At least now he has a roll of towels and a Costco-sized bottle of Purell to do his dirty business."

Филенида Самосская () — предполагаемый автор знаменитого античного руководства по сексу. Согласно сохранившемуся фрагменту трактата, приписываемого ей, она была родом с Самоса, а её отца звали Окимен. Однако многие современные учёные считают «Филениду» вымышленным персонажем, чей образ, возможно, был принят различными эротическими писателями. Две сатирические древнегреческие эпиграммы из «Палатинской антологии» поэтов Эсхриона Самосского и Диоскорида призваны были защитить репутацию Филениды, настаивая на том, что она не писала приписываемый ей трактат. Вместо этого Эсхрион утверждал, что трактат был написан афинским софистом Поликратом. Предполагаемые труды Филениды были хорошо известны на протяжении всей классической Античности, и учёные полагают, что они, возможно, повлияли на «Науку любви» Овидия.

В более поздние времена Филенида приобрела репутацию распутницы. Вымышленный персонаж по имени Филенида появляется в «Эпиграммах» римского поэта Марциала как мужеподобная женщина, известная тем, что занимается сексом с женщинами. Христианские писатели Юстин Философ, Татиан и Климент Александрийский осуждали сочинения, приписываемые Филениде, как порочные и безнравственные. В псевдо-лукианском диалоге IV века «Две любви» упоминается Филенида, использующая страпон для секса с женщинами. Именно по этим поздним упоминаниям Филенида и была наиболее известна на протяжении большей части современной эпохи, и она значится в работах английских авторов Томаса Хейвуда и Джона Донна, которые оба охарактеризовали её как сексуальную девиантку. В 1972 году были опубликованы три кратких фрагмента трактата, якобы написанного Филенидой, который ранее был обнаружены в Оксиринхе, будучи частью папирусов Оксиринха.

Ранние упоминания

Филенида — самая часто упоминаемая из древних женщин, которым приписывали эротический трактат, и она фигурирует во множестве древних источников. Согласно одному из сохранившихся фрагментов трактата из Оксиринха, эта работа была написана «Филенидой Самийской, дочерью Окимена», Афиней называл её «Левкадской». Её мать в источниках иногда называют Гиллиной. Современные учёные преимущественно считают, что Филенида — это вымышленный персонаж, который был персонифицирован, возможно, несколькими различными эротическими писателями.

Среди современных ученых принято считать, что Филенида была проституткой. Согласно Яну Майклу Планту, имя филенида (уменьшительное от «филена», женской формы греческого слова «филос», означающего «любовь»), по-видимому, было псевдонимом, обычно используемым проститутками в Древней Греции. Её связь с Самосом также подтверждает версию о Филениде-проститутке: в древности остров славился своими дорогими гетерами. Д. У. Томсон Весси также пришёл к выводу, что Филенида — вымышленный персонаж, представляющий собой «прототипную блудницу». Сандра Берингер же яростно отвергла мнение о Филениде как о проститутке, настаивая на том, что нет никаких доказательств, будто «Филенида» было «именем проститутки», или что кто-либо когда-либо в древности рассуждал о Филениде как о проститутке. По её мнению, древние авторы просто рассматривали ту как сексуально распущенную женщину.

В «Палатинской антологии»
Два стихотворения в «Палатинской антологии» (одна — Эсхриона Самосского, другая — поэта III века до н. э. Диоскорида) отрицают, что Филенида создала приписываемое ей произведение. Эсхрион написал эпиграмму на гробницу Филениды у моря, но не указал, где она находилась. В эпитафии Филенида изображается как непосредственно обращающаяся к μάταιος ναύτης («беспутному моряку»), но адресат явно не указывается как ξένος («чужестранец»). Моряки в древности славились своей похабностью и распутством, таким образом, Эсхрион, возможно, хотел, чтобы адресация эпитафии была ироничной. У Эсхриона Филенида яростно настаивает на том, что она никогда не создавала приписываемую ей книгу. Вместо этого она приписывает эту работу человеку по имени Поликрат — возможно, афинскому софисту с тем же именем, что, однако, доподлинно не установлено.

Диоскорид в своём сочинении также яростно отрицал, что Филенида действительно была автором приписываемого ей трактата, но, в отличие от эпитафии Эсхриона, он не пытался предложить другого человека в качестве автора. По словам Д. У. Томсон Весси, вполне возможно, что Диоскорид подразумевал молчаливое одобрение приписывания Эсхрионом трактата Поликрату. Также, в отличие от Эсхриона, Диоскорид явно обозначил Филениду как выходца с Самоса. Тем не менее, ни одно из этих двух стихотворений не пыталось оспорить существование рассматриваемого трактата. Цанцанолу согласился с тем, что Эсхрион приписывал эту работу Поликрату из Афин, утверждая, что её стиль согласуется с тем, что известно о его стиле. Берингер утверждала, что эпиграммы Эсхриона и Диоскорида являются сатирическими и отнюдь не защищают Филениду, они фактически поддерживают её негативную репутацию, отмечая, что, хотя об Эсхрионе ничего не известно, сохранилось более 40 эпиграмм Диоскорида, многие из которых откровенно сатирические. В построении эпиграмм, в которых Филенида подробно указывает, кем она якобы не является, но не говорит, кем «на самом деле» является, Берингер видит указание на иронический замысел стихотворений.

Трактат из Оксиринха
Фрагменты работы, якобы написанной Филенидой, были обнаружены в Оксиринхе и опубликованы в 1972 году как «P. Oxy. 2891». Хотя ранее считалось, что её книга была монографией о сексуальных позициях, обнаруженные фрагменты свидетельствуют о том, что тематика работы была значительно шире. По мнению Эдгара Лобеля, она была скорее «систематическим изложением ars amatoria». Этот трактат, по-видимому, не был задуман как серьёзное руководство, а скорее — как пародия на жанр.

Трактат был написан простым, повседневным языком и не претендовал на какую-либо литературную искусность. Он был разделён на чётко организованные разделы, каждый из которых был посвящён определённой теме. Хотя Филенида, предполагаемый автор этой работы, была родом с Самоса, сохранившаяся часть работы содержит очень мало ионических форм. Это может быть результатом того, что к IV веку, когда работа, вероятно, была написана, койне начал становиться преобладающим диалектом в ранее ионических областях Греции. По другой версии, поскольку «Филенида», скорее всего, было псевдонимом истинного автора, более вероятно, что для придания поверхностной правдоподобности произведению требовалось лишь несколько ионических форм.

Сохранились три фрагмента руководства из Оксиринха, приписываемые Филениде. Все они чрезвычайно кратки, а почерк на них едва различим в некоторых местах. Во втором из трёх фрагментов можно точно определить только пять букв. Эти фрагменты относятся к самому началу свитка папируса, который был разделён на две параллельные колонки. Первая колонка начинается с преамбулы, описывающей работу Филениды:

Второй и третий фрагменты взяты из начала второго столбца на свитке:

Берингер утверждала, что открытие этих фрагментов только доказывает, что жанр сексуальных писаний существовал в Античности, и подчёркивала, что этот трактат не доказывает, что сама Филенида была реальной личностью или что когда-либо существовало «оригинальное» руководство по сексу, написанное ею.

Ballyhoo Ltd, a South Birmingham web design agency, have recently launched a new website based on their Ballyhoo Refresh content management system for Wi-Fyre, a new fire alarm brand from Eurofyre.
Eurofyre, a UK supplier and manufacturer of fire detection and fire safety products, have recently collaborated with Birmingham web design agency, Ballyhoo, to launch a website for their new wireless fire alarm brand, WiFyre.
For many years fire alarm installers have encountered difficulties with installing fire alarm systems in areas where wiring presents a problem, with listed buildings being just one example where running wires through rooms can be time-consuming and structurally difficult, if not impossible. Wireless technology has helped these issues to become a thing of the past, allowing life-saving fire alarm systems to be installed virtually anywhere.
Eurofyre have capitalised on their in-depth knowledge of the fire industry and fire detection devices to create the Wi-Fyre range which includes fire detectors, fire control panels, manual call-points and audio-visual warning devices.
Wi-Fyre.co.uk, based on Ballyhoo's own content management system Ballyhoo Refresh, has a fully bespoke design tailored to Eurofyre's specifications and has been developed using the latest programming techniques. The site also features a number of custom elements on top of Ballyhoo Refresh, including a jQuery slider which demonstrates how wireless signal strength is indicated on Wi-Fyre Test Survey Heads – to see how the LED lights would typically indicate wireless range the user simply has to move a slider from left to right to show a range of signal strengths from No Signal to Excellent Signal. More information on the design and development process can be found in Ballyhoo's online portfolio.
Mark Redfearn, Technical Sales Engineer at Eurofyre, commented, "Ballyhoo are one of the friendliest companies we have worked with, easy to communicate with, very professional and understand our ideas and thoughts. [...] we are very happy with the work Ballyhoo has created, the website is clean and very easy to use and because of this, we are confident that our new product range will be a success!".
Brand new websites are often at a disadvantage as they try to compete with more established brands and longer-running websites. To kick-start the success of this venture Eurofyre have also undertaken an online marketing strategy with Ballyhoo to give wi-fyre.co.uk the best chance of success whereby a number of techniques are being employed to increase the website audience and convert visitors into customers.
More information on this web design project and other projects Ballyhoo have recently completed can be found in Ballyhoo's online portfolio at www.ballyhoo.ltd.uk/Projects.html.

Kern County Sheriffs Dirt Team supports residents of Greater Lake Isabella!
Members of the Alliance for Responsible Recreation met with the new California State Parks Director, Major General Anthony Jackson, to discuss the impact of illegal off-roading on public and private lands. From left to right: Phil Klasky, Mark Jorgensen, Directory Jackson, Mesonika Piecuch, and Karen Schambach.
Section "C" Chief John Hachey and PCT/USFS volunteer Frank Trujillo visited Kern County Section "E" to give PCT signs much needed repairs. Thanks for your efforts, gentlemen!
It is my great pleasure to share the following note from the Pew Environment Group with you. The ruling means that the Roadless Area Conservation Rule applies in every state but Idaho!
Today the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals rendered a decision after more than 18 months of deliberation and unanimously reversed the lower district court's decision and remanded the case for the lower district court to vacate the permanent injunction against the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule click here to see the court filing.
Therefore, the 2001 Roadless Rule is in effect nationwide except in Idaho, where the U.S Forest Service did a separate rulemaking that was completed in 2008. Thus, the U.S. Forest Service may not undertake activities that violate the Roadless Rule on more than 49 million out of the 58.5 million total acres of inventoried roadless areas - making the rule once again the law of the land.
The 10th Circuit Court's unanimous decision found that the roadless rule did not violate NEPA, the Wilderness Act, the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act and the National Forest Management Act - a victory on all counts! The 2001 rule has now been upheld legally in both the 9th and 10th Circuit Courts of Appeals thus removing the cloud of legal uncertainty surrounding the rule for a decade.
This decision is amongst the most significant conservation victories in several decades. It reinforces the roadless rule and its protections for our national forests and will ensure they will stand tall for generations to come.
A big special thanks to all the attorneys on the case from Earthjustice - great job by all - Congratulations. And thanks to everyone for all the fantastic work and support on this. This is a great victory for all! Keep up the good fight - but now it is time to celebrate!
In early October of 2010, 13 signs appeared throughout Kern County's Second Supervisorial District warning illegal OHV riders against operating their vehicles in critically sensitive locations, and directing them to legal riding areas.
Several of the County-produced signs were vandalized soon after placement and residents in various areas have sought County help in fighting back against that vandalism.
The signs were a signature achievement for many rural residents living under the tyranny of off-road harassment. They were designed and placed under the leadership of Mary Beth Garrison, then field representative with former Supervisor Don Maben�s office. The signs, under the full authority of the County of Kern, were strategically placed near environmentally sensitive areas, including public lands off-limit to mechanized travel, sites featuring vulnerable archaeological and historical treasures, and land where fragile ecological systems would be destroyed by off-road abuse. Each sign bore both a proscription regarding the off-limits character of the area, as well as clear directions to alternate authorized areas.
While the damaged signs (one of which was repeatedly vandalized) were replaced, current budgetary woes and personnel reductions have combined to make routine replacement unworkable. Nevertheless, at the request of current Second District Supervisor Zack Scrivner, the Kern County Roads Department (KCRD) is working with residents throughout the Second District on a plan to maintain and, in some cases, re-site signs which are less vulnerable to vandalism.
Wednesday morning two KCRD workers traveled from Bakersfield to the Rosamond/Tehachapi Mountains area, often the site of off-road vandalism and abuse, to examine one of the signs. Pictured in the photograph which can be linked to below are: (L) KCRD engineer Salvador Gomez, Rosamond resident Frank Gerwat, and permit engineer Tim Douhan.
ORV Watch Kern County applauds Mr. Gomez, Mr. Douhan and the entire KCRD staff for its hard work and dedication. We also applaud Supervisor Scrivner for his continuing helpfulness and his willingness to carefully assess issues in his district, always with a view toward unearthing creative, cost-effective solutions.
Law enforcement teams cited dirt bikers illegally riding on the Pacific Crest Trail in the Kern County mountain area and ticketed vandals on dirt bikes caught in the act of tagging in the vicinity.
Law enforcement made contact with dozens of off-roaders and citations were handed out to rogue dirt bikers riding on the Pacific Crest trail in the southern Kern County mountains.
During the Easter Holiday weekend personnel from the Kern County Sheriff's Office, California State Parks, U.S. Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management conducted a joint operation targeting illegal OHV activity on the Pacific Crest Trail and on private property in and around the Tehachapi Mountains. During the three day operation a group of three OHV riders attempted to evade law enforcement while riding on the Pacific Crest Trail. The Kern County Sheriff's Office Air Support Unit assisted personnel in locating these riders. Ryan Errico from Lancaster, California, 24 years old, Hugh Brown from Riverside, California, 39 years old, and Ryan Raymond from Chino Hills, California, 34 years old, were arrested and booked into the Mojave Jail for obstruction of justice. Also during the operation personnel made 76 educational contacts, 3 camp checks, 3 traffic stops, and issued 10 citations.

Светла́на Ю́рьевна Ко́неген (род. 1 января 1961, Ленинград) — российская тележурналистка, телеведущая, писательница, культуролог, фотограф и критик.

Биография
Родилась 1 января 1961 года в Ленинграде. Училась в школе при Академии художеств. Окончила филологический факультет Ленинградского государственного университета по специальности «классическая филология». Позднее училась в аспирантуре Института балканистики.

В 1989 году переехала в Москву, где, печатаясь в «Независимой газете», получила известность как литературный критик и культуролог. Одновременно, печатаясь в ряде развлекательных СМИ, получила известность как «светская львица». Сотрудничала с таким журналистами как Дмитрий Пригов, Иосиф Дискин и Игорь Яркевич. В 1994—1995 годах — колумнист в Коммерсанте, и ведущая на радио «Свобода».

В 1996 году Светлана Конеген, наряду с Ириной Хакамадой, была руководителем Женского либерального фонда. В 2007 году Конеген вступила в Российскую экологическую партию «Зелёные», где получила второе место в списке на выборах в Госдуму. По политическим убеждениям Конеген выступает за равноправие женщин и мужчин, а также за защиту прав религиозных, национальных и сексуальных меньшинств.

С июня 2015 года снова сотрудничает с радио «Свобода» в качестве интервьюера на их официальном сайте.

Занимается фотографией, выставки её работ проходят в России и Италии. В ноябре-декабре 2015 года в Государственном музее архитектуры имени А. В. Щусева проходил выставочный проект «Венеция. Живое и мёртвое», содержащий более 50 фотографий, на которых изображены архитектура и ландшафт Венеции.

Телевидение
С 1996 года Конеген работала на телевидении. В разное время являлась ведущей телевизионных передач «Сладкая жизнь» (НТВ, 1996—1997), «Положение вещей» («Культура», 1998—2000), «Ночное рандеву», «Мыло» (ТВЦ, 1999—2000), «Деликатесы» (ТВЦ, 2000—2006), а также ток-шоу «Жалобная книга» (ТВЦ, 2004). К тому времени, благодаря необычному стилю и манерам, за Конеген прочно закрепился имидж эксцентричной персоны: в разное время СМИ называли её «мисс Скандал», «мисс Унисекс», «мисс Интеллектуальное безобразие», «мисс развязность» и др.

Личная жизнь
Ее первым мужем СМИ называли немецкого математика, проживающего в Германии, от которого она получила фамилию Конеген.

В 2014 году вышла замуж вторым браком за итальянца Франко Морони. При этом они вместе жили к моменту свадьбы уже 16 лет. На свадьбе жених был в будёновке, Светлана — в старорусской фате с диадемой, и оба были в валенках. Живёт с мужем в городе Тревизо в итальянской области Венеция.

Детей нет.

Критика
В статье О. В. Джененко. «Модель фрика (made freak) как чужого / другого» Светлана Конеген приведена как характерный пример «искусственного фрика» из-за сознательного изменения своей внешности и эпатажного поведения:

А. В. Полонский в своей работе «Межкультурная коммуникация в контексте современности» находит установку на «эгоцентрацию» (понимаемую как процесс жесткого самообособления человека) в словах Светланы Конеген «Свобода — это наличие у каждого выбора: хочу чай пью, хочу пиво, хочу — женюсь на своей кошечке».

Are artificial sweeteners better than sugar?
Too much sugar isn't healthy, but are alternative sweeteners any better?
By Belinda Castles
Research & test writer
There's no shortage of products claiming they're "sugar free" to try to appeal to health-conscious consumers. But check the ingredients list and you can find a raft of sweeteners in sugar-free products, from aspartame to Stevia.
These intense sweeteners (also known as artificial or natural intense sweeteners) have a sweetness many times that of sugar, but with few to no kilojoules. This means you can have your cake without looking like you've eaten it too.
However, many of these additives have been dogged by controversy for decades, with claims they may cause you more harm than good. We look at the evidence and whether artificial sweeteners really are a better bet.
Most debate has focussed on whether intense sweeteners can cause cancer, with aspartame in particular hitting the spotlight.
Back in 2005, the European Ramazzini Foundation published a study suggesting aspartame could cause cancer in rats when consumed at levels close to the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for humans.
The report got widespread attention and prompted a review by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). It concluded there was no reason to revise aspartame's ADI. In 2013, EFSA completed a full risk assessment on aspartame and concluded it was safe to use at current levels of consumption.
According to the Cancer Society, there's no reliable evidence linking intense sweeteners, including aspartame, with any kind of cancer. Many of the studies suggesting a link have been on rats, which were fed large quantities of sweeteners, and didn't show the products were carcinogenic to humans.
There's evidence that intense sweeteners may change the numbers and type of bacteria in our gut.
Government agencies have also found them to be safe. The Ministry of Health states current evidence shows intense sweeteners are safe to use for most people and can play a role in a healthy diet.
Foods Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) said all intense sweeteners undergo a safety assessment. If they're approved, the Food Standards Code restricts the amount used and types of food to which they can be added. These restrictions are intended to make sure you don't consume too much.
However, there are still some unanswered questions about these ingredients.
There's new and emerging evidence that intense sweeteners may change the numbers and type of bacteria in our gut. The research on the role of gut bacteria suggests the sweeteners may affect digestion, immune function and regulation of metabolism. A 2019 review, published in Advanced Nutrition, concluded further research on the effects was needed.
Better health?
Switching to "diet" and "sugar-free" products may seem an effective way to cut back on sugar. But a 2019 systematic review, published in the British Medical Journal, concluded there was no compelling evidence to indicate health benefits of non-sugar sweeteners for a range of health outcomes.
The review, commissioned by the World Health Organization (WHO), looked at 56 studies and found evidence that sweeteners might have a small beneficial effect on body mass index and blood sugar levels.
However, other studies showed people who frequently consumed more of these sweeteners gained more weight than those who consumed less. For other outcomes, such as diabetes risk and heart disease, the studies showed no benefit or harm.
More research is needed. Of the limited studies identified for each outcome, the review found most were poor quality. It also concluded potential harms from consuming non-sugar sweeteners couldn't be ruled out.
EFSA is re-evaluating the data on intense sweeteners. The evaluation excludes aspartame, which was reviewed in 2013.
Cutting back
Dietitians New Zealand spokesperson Helen Gibbs said intense sweeteners offer an option for people looking to limit their sugar intake.
However, they should be viewed as "transitional" products – a way to cut back on sugary foods, rather than a long-term alternative.
"Humans are hardwired to enjoy sugar and intense sweeteners [help] maintain a preference for sweet foods, rather than training our taste buds to enjoy a wider range of tastes," Gibbs said.
She also said choosing a food or drink with an intense sweetener isn't a green light to eat or drink that product in large quantities.
Intense sweeteners should be viewed as "transitional" products – a way to cut back on sugary foods, rather than a long-term alternative.
New Zealand Dental Association sugary drinks spokesperson Dr Rob Beaglehole said the main concern with artificially sweetened drinks, from a dental perspective, is their acidity.
"Despite being sugar-free, these drinks are highly acidic and can cause dental erosion, which dissolves the tooth enamel. Once the enamel is lost, it's lost forever. These drinks also maintain a desire for sweetness," Dr Beaglehole said.
He said there's also new and emerging evidence that links artificially sweetened beverages with weight gain and type-2 diabetes.
Types of sweeteners
Twelve sweeteners are approved for use in New Zealand. If you want to know what's in a product, check the ingredients list. Under "sweetener", you'll find the name or food-additive code number - for example, aspartame or 951. Sometimes both the name and number will be listed.
Intense sweeteners
Acesulphame-potassium (acesulphame-K): It's been claimed acesulphame-potassium is associated with tumours of the lungs and glands in rats, and with increased cholesterol levels in diabetic rats. But more than 90 studies have verified its safety. The sweetener isn't metabolised or stored in the body.
Advantame: Approved in 2011, advantame is derived from aspartame and vanillin. FSANZ assessed toxicity studies on advantame and concluded its use as a sweetener didn't raise any health and safety issues.
Alitame: There's no evidence of any harmful effects from alitame. It is rarely used in food products.
Aspartame: It's one of the most-studied food additives in the world – aspartame has been reviewed by FSANZ, the Food and Agricultural Organization/WHO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives, EFSA and the US Food and Drug Administration. Current evidence supports aspartame being safe.
Aspartame does carry a risk for people with the rare inherited disorder phenylketonuria (PKU), which is screened for at birth. People with PKU are unable to break down phenylalanine, a component of aspartame. For this reason, products containing aspartame must carry a warning label.
Aspartame breaks down at high temperatures, so can't be used in baking or cooking.
Aspartame-acesulphame salt: A combination of aspartame and acesulphame-potassium. People with PKU should avoid this sweetener.
Cyclamate: Animal studies in the 1960s suggested cyclamate was carcinogenic and it was banned in the US in 1969. However, it's approved in many countries. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) states there's insufficient evidence that cyclamate causes cancer.
Neotame: It's a modified form of aspartame but only releases small amounts of phenylalanine, so doesn't need an advisory label for people with PKU. There's no evidence of harmful effects from neotame.
Saccharin: In the 1970s, saccharin was linked with bladder cancer in animals and was listed as a possible carcinogen by IARC. Saccharin has since undergone review and been removed from the IARC list.
Sucralose: Sucralose is the only intense sweetener made from sugar. It's chemically altered and can't be broken down once consumed. Numerous studies verify it has no carcinogenic, neurologic or reproductive risk.
Natural intense sweeteners
Monk fruit extract (luo han guo): Derived from the Siraitia grosvenorii fruit, monk fruit extract is the new sweetener on the block. It's often combined with stevia or sugar alcohols.
Steviol glycosides (Stevia): Stevia is extracted from the Stevia rebaudiana plant. There's no evidence of any harmful effects from steviol glycosides.
Thaumatin: Derived from the katemfe fruit, there's no evidence of any harmful effects from thaumatin.
Other sweeteners
Sugar alcohols: Sugar alcohols include erythritol, isomalt, lactitol, mannitol, sorbitol and xylitol. They're generally less sweet than sugar and often perform other functions such as emulsifying or thickening. They can't be fully digested, so eating too much may have a laxative effect. Advisory statements are required on products containing high levels.
"Natural" sugar alternatives: Sweeteners such as honey, brown rice syrup, maple syrup and coconut sugar are often touted as being better for your health than regular sugar. However, they contain the same number of kilojoules as sugar and their small amounts of additional nutrients have no extra health benefits.
Compare sweeteners
Most sweeteners have an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI), which is set by government health bodies. This is the daily amount you could safely eat, based on your body weight. ADIs have safety margins and are calculated on lifetime exposure to the additive. For example, to exceed the ADI for aspartame, a 75kg adult would need to drink a 5.6L diet soft drink daily over a lifetime.
There are no recent data about how much of these additives we're consuming. A survey commissioned by New Zealand Food Safety and FSANZ is underway.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends free or added sugars should make up less than 10 percent of your daily energy intake. It advises sticking to less than five percent for additional health benefits.
Its guidelines apply to all sugars added to food and the sugars present in honey, syrups, fruit juices and fruit concentrates (but not sugars that naturally occur in milk and whole fruit).
For an adult, five percent is about 25g or six teaspoons. Children should eat less than this.
We consume much more than 25g. In 2017, a study published in Nutrients estimated half of Kiwi adults eat about 57g (14 teaspoons) each day.
Six ways to cut sugar
Here are six tips for cutting back on the sweet stuff.
Check the ingredients list: Common aliases for sugar include fructose, glucose, corn sugar, dextrose, honey, lactose, maltose and sucrose.
Reduce added sugar gradually: Over time, your taste buds will be trained to enjoy less sugar. Most recipes won't be affected if you reduce the sugar content.
Watch what you drink: Soft drinks, juices and sports drinks are major contributors of sugar, and can quickly rack up extra kilojoules. Water should be your go-to most of the time.
Use spices: Adding cinnamon, ginger or nutmeg can add flavour and help you reduce the amount of sugar you use.
Choose healthier options: Sugary treats such as confectionery, sugary cereals and muesli bars should only be eaten occasionally.
Sensible serving sizes: Be aware of portion sizes. You will eat more sugary foods if servings are larger or you eat straight from the packet.
Adverse effects of aspartame
I appreciate this update on artificial sweeteners. As in the past, the update doesn't mention some of the adverse effects of aspartame. For some people aspartame can produce anaphylactic reactions, and for this reason should not be given to people in hospital unannounced, as has recently happened in an NZ hospital. There is a variety of adverse reactions recorded from aspartame, ranging from light to serious. Research has shown, for example, alarming effects on the brain. Aspartame and MSG in fact, are the most complained about additives in history. No doubt because there is big money involved in artificial sweeteners, especially aspartame, research often gets skewed, with the result that industry-funded studies show no adverse reaction whereas independent studies almost always show an adverse reaction. There is unfortunate evidence that the European committee looking at aspartame was loaded with consultants directly or indirectly tied to the industry. I think the advice given at the end of the article on how to reduce sugar is good.

Bates is a major outlier of a recruitment considering all the unknowns surrounding the OAD rule. He's widely considered a LeBron-level high school prospect, and given the recent assumptions that OAD would be phased out soon most assumed he'd be going straight to the NBA. In fact, no other high major program appeared to put significant time into recruiting Bates besides Tom Izzo, partly because he's a local prospect.
Considering how early this commitment is and how much could change in the next two years, I think it's wise to view this as a "soft" commitment. If OAD goes away Bates would be a prime candidate to skip school. He could also do that to the G-league depending on how that develops. Or, if the tea leaves start shifting towards OAD sticking around, it wouldn't surprise me if other programs start to kick the tires. There are a LOT of coaches who have a better track record than Izzo on getting top-tier prospects into the NBA...

It is fairly likely that by 2022 the OAD rule will be gone and Bates can go directly from high school into the draft. He would be the #1 pick right now in the 2020 draft if he was allowed to be picked. But, if he spends a year in college, I suspect Michigan St. will be the preseason #1 in 2022-23. Bates is that good.
I don't know what you are doing right now, but if you aren't listening to the DBR Podcast, you're doing it wrong.

Some interesting language in the article put out by ESPN.
"As a result, Bates' chances of playing college basketball have grown. A number of top prospects in the 2020 class, including No. 1 prospect Jalen Green, decided to join the new G League pathway program instead of going to college, but Bates didn't seem attracted to that option.
"It's good for certain players. That's a lot of money," he said. "I don't really plan on, I don't think I'll do it. It's good for some people, but I don't think I'll head that route."
Bates added that he would rather play college basketball than go to the G League.
There could be the option to reclassify after next year into the 2021 class and then do a postgraduate year before entering the NBA draft in 2022 if the age limit changes. Bates and his father confirmed reclassifying was on the table, but it hasn't been decided yet.
"I don't plan on reclassifying. I'll probably play two more years [of high school]," Bates said. "It really depends how this year goes. After this year it will tell me everything I need to know. I can't decide on that right now. After this year, if it's too easy, I might -- but if not, I'm probably going to play another year."
Smart move. A commitment, even a soft one, keeps the other colleges away if the OAD rule stays in place. Also looks good for Izzo (or his successor) as Michigan State recruits other players over the next 2 years.

Didn't recall the details about LeBron's high school football career, but came across this.
https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2019/6/...eveland-browns
Very successful as WR his sophomore and junior seasons -- 57 catches for 1160 yards and 15 TDs as junior --- had been described as a "wiry 6'6" wide receiver as a high school soph; didn't play football as a senior
By the time of the 2003 NBA combine, LeBron measured in at 6'7.25" without shoes and 245 pounds.

Imagine being a 16-year-old defensive back trying to guard LeBron James.

For Zion, I can't decide whether his best position might have been TE, D-End, or (seriously) QB.
Picture the 16 year old DB facing Zion on a QB naked bootleg.

Julius Peppers was a RB in high school
An Emoni Bates tidbit
Take this with a grain of salt, but my go-to Michigan fan site had an interesting nugget in their latest basketball recruiting roundup:
A solid source informed me over the weekend that "Emoni Bates has zero intention of ever suiting up for Michigan State." While I haven't spoken with Emoni or his father directly on the issue, I think this is probably an accurate claim as of today based on all the information we have.
How much should we trust this? Well, since it's a Michigan fan-site reporting on an MSU commit, maybe not too much. But I will say that this guy has a solid track record of being realistic when it comes to recruiting (i.e. he isn't a blatant homer), and he tends to only mention his "sources" when he's quite confident on something. Regardless, penciling in MSU as the 2023 (or 2022 if Bates reclassified) national champs is looking more and more premature...

There's a story about Julius Peppers in HS. The team had completed practice, including running wind sprints. Everyone was on the ground, totally gassed -- except Peppers, who did handsprings the entire length of the football field.

Corey Evans breaks down Duke's early board for the Class of 2022
For his regular #TwitterTuesday column, Corey Evans of Rivals gives a breakdown of Duke's targets for the Class of 2022 (as well as a hint about the finishing touches for the Class of 2021):
Duke is one of the few programs that will not offer someone unless the particular prospect visits the Durham campus, or Coach K or a staff member gets the chance to evaluate the recruit in-person. The pandemic has impacted both avenues which makes predicting when they might make their first offer public a bit tricky.
However, the quicker Duke tidies up its 2021 class, the faster it can get ahead in the 2022 class. The Blue Devils would love nothing more than to have Trevor Keels and Pat Baldwin or Caleb Houstan pick them so that they can turn their attention to the 2022 class.
When that time comes and it doesn't feel as if Keels and Baldwin are far off from committing, Blue Devils' fans should watch Jaden Bradley, Dariq Whitehead, Dereck Lively, Kijani Wright, Bruce Thornton and Donovan Clingan. Landing a point guard and a center will likely be the greatest need.
There's the usual crop of top 10-20 5-star prospects here, including Jaden Bradley (6'2" PG), Dariq Whitehead (6'5" SF), and Kijani Wright (6'9" PF).
After that group, the next crop include current 4-star prospects Bruce Thornton (6'2" PG), Dereck Lively (6'11" C), and Donovan Clingan (7'0" C).
My guess is that we'll have to be patient with the Class of 2022. If things go well, we could see them attend a game at Cameron Indoor Stadium in the spring and then it will be a busy summer in 2021 with plenty of offers. In the meantime, keep an eye out for any notice of a decision for Keels and Baldwin.

B.B., Hancock, Bono perform in all-star show
Report from Roman Gokhman:
Some of the biggest names in jazz and blues, including pianist Herbie Hancock, guitarists B.B. King and Robert Cray, vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater and trumpeter Terence Blanchard came together Sunday (Oct. 26) in Los Angeles for an all-star benefit for the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz.
The concert, dubbed "The Blues and Jazz: Two American Classics," was part showcase of the youth who have benefited from the instruction of the institute, part award ceremony, part history lesson and part merry-go-round of all-star collaborations.
It was the second year the institute has held the event, which included the finals of it's 21st annual young artist jazz competition, at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. The show felt too scripted at times – all of the introductions and song lyrics were telepromted – but it certainly made up for it in once-in-a-lifetime musical pairings and several great performances
The evening included a star-studded rotating cast. They included vocalist Cassandra Wilson, guitarists Joe Luis Walker, Keb' Mo' and Lee Ritenour; percussionists Poncho Sanchez, Terri Lyne Carrington and Thelonious Monk, Jr., saxophonist Wayne Shorter and pianist George Duke.
