Contrary to the propaganda of raw-food advocates, cooking truly can help you absorb far more nutrients.
Are cooked foods genuinely dead meals?
It's genuine that when meals is baked at high temperatures-and specifically when it truly is fried or barbecued-toxic compounds are formed and essential nutrients are lost. Many vitamins are water-soluble, plus a considerable % could be lost with cooking, specially overcooking. Similarly, many plant enzymes function as phytochemical nutrients in our physique and can be useful to maximize well being. They, also, could be destroyed by overcooking.
Enzymes are proteins that work to speed up or "catalyze" chemical reactions. Each and every living cell makes enzymes for its personal activities. Human cells are no exception. Our glands secrete enzymes in to the digestive tract to help inside the digestion of food. Nonetheless, after they may be ingested, the enzymes contained in plants do not function as enhancements or replacements for human digestive enzymes. These molecules exist to serve the plant's purpose, not ours. The plant enzymes get digested by our very own digestive juices as well as the rest with the food and are absorbed and utilized as nutrients.
In a lot of cases, cooking destroys a few of the damaging anti-nutrients that bind minerals within the gut and interfere together with the utilization of nutrients. Destruction of these anti-nutrients increases absorption. Steaming vegetables and creating vegetable soups breaks down cellulose and alters the plants' cell structures in order that fewer of the own enzymes are needed to digest the meals, not much more. The point is that this "cooked food is dead food" enzyme argument will not hold water. On the other hand, the roasting of nuts and the baking of cereals does minimize availability and absorbability of protein.
When meals is steamed or made into a soup, the temperature is fixed at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 Fahrenheit-the temperature of boiling water. This moisture-based cooking prevents meals from browning and forming toxic compounds. Acrylamides, essentially the most usually acknowledged of the heat-created toxins, are certainly not formed with boiling or steaming. They're formed only with dry cooking. Most vital nutrients in vegetables are far more absorbable right after becoming cooked inside a soup, not much less absorbable. Recent scientific studies confirm that the body absorbs considerably more from the helpful anti-cancer compounds (carotenoids and phytochemicals-especially lutein and lycopene) from cooked vegetables compared with raw. The Institute of Food Study in Norwich reported their latest findings in New Scientist magazine: about three to 4 % in the carotenoids had been absorbed from raw carrots compared with about 15 to 20 % from cooked and mashed carrots. The team also found that we absorb these crucial anti-cancer nutrients a lot more effectively from vegetables than we do from supplements.
Several research have demonstrated that the helpful antioxidant activity of cooked tomatoes is drastically increased than from uncooked tomatoes. Scientists speculate that the boost in absorption of antioxidants following cooking may be attributed to the destruction from the cell matrix (connective bands) to which the useful compounds are bound.
It really is correct that vitamin C, folate, B vitamins, and particular minerals are water-soluble and can be destroyed by cooking; but vitamin C contributes much less than one % towards the total antioxidant activity of fruits and vegetables. As an example, the principle antioxidant activity in apples is supplied by classes of chemical substances called phenolics and flavonoids, each of that are produced more accessible by cooking.
In the event you compare raw broccoli to steamed or frozen broccoli, about 25 percent in the vitamin C and about 20 percent of the selenium is lost in the course of cooking, but the other 20 commonly-measured nutrients show only an insignificant alter. Raw-food advocates are certainly not accurate when they claim that 50 percent of nutrients are lost with steaming. A closer estimate will be 10 percent.
Cooking corn also has been shown to substantially increase its antioxidant activity, in spite of reduction in vitamin C.When the ability to quench totally free radicals was measured, cooked corn outperformed raw corn by amongst 25 to 50 percent. Cooking corn releases a compound referred to as ferulic acid, which provides anti-cancer health rewards. Ferulic acid, a phytochemical, is unique in that it truly is identified only in very low quantities in fruits and vegetables, but is discovered in quite substantial amounts in corn. The availability for the physique of ferulic acid may be increased 500 to 900 percent by cooking the corn.
Clearly, the answer is a resounding "No." Actually, eating an exclusively raw-food diet can be a disadvantage. To exclude all steamed vegetables and vegetable soups out of your diet plan narrows the nutrient diversity of your diet program and features a tendency to lessen the percentage of calories from vegetables, in favor of nuts and fruit, that are lower in nutrients per calorie.
Sadly, sloppy science prevails inside the raw-food movement. Rawfood advocates mistakenly conclude that considering that eating processed and cooked carbohydrates is dangerous for us, all cooked foods are harmful.
To eat the most healthful diet on earth, consist of a enough quantity of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. In the event you aren't really overweight or diabetic, add a glass of freshly squeezed raw vegetables to your diet regime. Attempt on the list of following combinations beet/carrot/cabbage/apple; kale/parsley/carrot/apple; or beet/carrot/celery/cucumber. Have a blended salad some times per week.


In the equally popular we discover that one of the new suits for the upcoming Spectre film will be a three-piece navy herringbone made by Tom Ford. "It's made in Ford's well-known style: a two-button jacket with wide peaked lapels and strong pagoda shoulders with roped sleeveheads. The shoulders are similar to the Quantum of Solace suits' shoulders."
Matt Spaiser, a graphic designer from New York City, founded the site in 2010, and it now gets more than 40,000 visits each month. Spaiser told 51698009 he's always been fascinated by Bond: "I love how 007 always gets out of difficult situations in a stylish way, from his clothes to his watches and his cars," he says.
With the recent Melbourne opening of Australia's , dressing like Bond got a whole lot easier. The Thunderball shorts will set you back a cool $220, but it's a small price to pay if you want to strut around like a spy (although you won't be hiding many secrets in these briefest of briefs).
For a better fit and a lot less expense, try Australian tailors . They can recreate any of the Bond suits from the films, and it will be cut specifically for your body shape.
Other Spectre spoilers include a pair of Mulberry cashmere-lined black leather gloves, Tom Ford suits again, and an N.Peal fine gauge mock turtle neck, in dark charcoal grey.

For many of us, it is absolutely normal by now to see a tweet that mentions #ad or #sponsored to disclose a relationship with a company.
But why are people doing this? Do you have to do this? Does this make sense?
Can you get away with not doing it?
When am I required to disclose a relationship?
As an influencer, you have to disclose your connection with an advertiser that can or will affect an endorsement.
You haven't seen this a lot until recently, because people kept getting away with it…until the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) decided to put an end to it. Advertisers range from family, business or even affiliate relationships.
How should I disclose my relationship with advertisers?
It is absolutely important that you disclose your relationship with an advertiser as clearly as possible. When doing this, make sure your disclosure is visible – every time! – when posting / talking about the product / sponsorship.
The FTC Guidelines clearly line out that the relationship should be disclosed "clear and conspicuous". Basically, this means that people should never be able to question your relationship to the advertiser and should easily and clearly be able to understand that you've been compensated to do this in one way or another.
For example: Putting "#sponsored by Valgard Media Ltd. #ad" into your Twitter bio and then never mentioning it again, isn't enough. If Valgard Media Ltd. were to pay you for advertisement of our page or services, you'd have to disclose this every single time by using #ad or #sponsored.
According to the FTC Guidelines, the disclosure has to be "close to the mention".
I stream on Twitch and YT, what do I have to do?!
If you're a content creator on either YT or Twitch, you have to disclose relationships on those platforms, too.
On Twitch for example you should do this as well in your panels and overlays if you're displaying sponsored content there. This also applies to YouTube if you're showing sponsored content on screen or in overlays.
Do these rules also apply to Instagram, Bots and Tweets?
Yes, yes they do very much. You should always use #ad or #sponsored in your tweets, IG posts and even chat bot commands.

Johann Jodok Singisen (* ca. 1557 in Mellingen; † 2. November 1644 in Muri) war ein Schweizer Benediktinermönch. Von 1596 bis zu seinem Tod war er Abt des Klosters Muri in den Freien Ämtern (im heutigen Kanton Aargau).

Biografie
Er war der Sohn von Rudolf Singisen, dem Schultheiss von Mellingen, und von Elisabeth Letter. Singisen besuchte in Muri die Klosterschule, legte 1574 die Profess ab und empfing 1583 die Priesterweihe. Ab 1590 betreute er die Pfarrei Bünzen, eine Kollatur des Klosters, bis er 1596 nach der Absetzung von Jakob Meier zum Abt gewählt wurde. Bald nach Amtsantritt begann er mit der konsequenten Umsetzung der tridentinischen Reformen. Dazu gehörten die Einführung der strikten Klausur, die Abschaffung der Pfründen, der Ersatz der Dienstboten durch Laienbrüder und die systematische Ausbildung der Mönche. Der Konvent leistete gegen die Reformen zunächst Widerstand, den Singisen jedoch mithilfe des Nuntius rasch brechen konnte.

Auch im Kloster Hermetschwil, das unter der Aufsicht Muris stand, gelang Singisen nach anfänglichem Widerstand der dortigen Nonnen die Umsetzung der Reformen. Er liess das Kloster Muri baulich erweitern; bis 1610 entstand ein an den Kreuzgang angebautes Gebäude, das heute unter der Bezeichnung Singisenflügel bekannt ist. Hinzu kamen die Klostermauer als sichtbares äusseres Zeichen der Abschliessung sowie eine Bibliothek über der Vorhalle der Klosterkirche. In seinem Auftrag baute Thomas Schott zwischen 1619 und 1630 die grosse Orgel, die heute noch besteht. Die Klosterschule erweiterte er zu einem Gymnasium.

1602 gehörte Singisen zu den Mitbegründern der Schweizerischen Benediktinerkongregation und war für diese ab 1603 als Visitator tätig. In dieser Funktion vollzog er die tridentinischen Reformen in zahlreichen Frauenklöstern. Dazu gehörten die Benediktinerinnen in Seedorf und Sarnen, die Franziskanerinnen in Bremgarten, die Kapuzinerinnen in Zug, Attinghausen, Stans und Luzern sowie die Zisterzienserinnen in Frauenthal und Eschenbach. 1622 konnte Singisen die Exemtion des Klosters Muri von der bischöflichen Gerichtsbarkeit erreichen. Papst Gregor XV. bestätigte diese zwar, doch erst 1645 willigte das Bistum Konstanz endgültig ein, nachdem ein Kompromiss ausgehandelt werden konnte (Bestätigung der Wahl eines neuen Abtes durch das Bistum).

Aufgrund seiner zahlreichen Verdienste wird Singisen als zweiter Stifter des Klosters Muri bezeichnet.

MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE: Hogan Administration Announces Launch of Regional Resources Team, Webpage
Maryland Department of Commerce issued the following announcement on June 25.
As part of a continuing effort to make Maryland state government faster and easier for businesses to navigate, Governor Larry Hogan today announced the launch of the Maryland Regional Resources team and webpage. Comprised of the 10 state agencies that make up the Governor's Commerce Subcabinet as well as the Governor's Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, the team meets regularly to assist businesses and local jurisdictions with economic development efforts, including issues related to transportation, workforce development, licensing, planning, and permitting, among others. The Maryland Regional Resources webpage, housed on the Maryland Business Express site, offer an easy-to-navigate state map with agency contacts for each region.
"Our administration remains committed to ensuring Maryland is Open for Business and providing outstanding customer service to our citizens and businesses," said Governor Hogan. "The Maryland Regional Resources team is yet another resource that businesses and local governments can tap when they need state assistance to resolve an issue quickly and efficiently."
Making up the Governor's Commerce Subcabinet is the Department of Assessments and Taxation, the Department of Commerce, the Department of the Environment, the Maryland Higher Education Commission, the Department of Housing and Community Development, the Department of Labor, the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Planning, including the Office of Smart Growth, the Governor's Office of Small, Minority and Women Business Affairs, and the Department of Transportation.
"Bringing together representatives from state agencies that frequently interact with the business community offers a "one-stop shop" so our businesses don't have to contact multiple agencies for assistance," said Maryland Commerce Secretary Kelly M. Schulz. "Our goal with the Regional Resources team is to alleviate barriers to growth for our businesses and help them succeed in Maryland."

Candice Carty-Williams
Queenie tells her story of being a twenty-something Black woman in Brixton as peoples perception of her race, gender, and status frustrate her immensely. She is unapologetic and bold- an eye opening must read. - Louisa
Author: Louisa recommends: 'Queenie'
Queenie is a twenty-five-year-old Black woman living in south London, straddling Jamaican and British culture whilst slotting neatly into neither. She works at a national newspaper where she's constantly forced to compare herself to her white, middle-class peers, and beg to write about Black Lives Matter. After a messy break up from her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie finds herself seeking comfort in all the wrong places.
As Queenie veers from one regrettable decision to another, she finds herself wondering, What are you doing? Why are you doing it? Who do you want to be? - the questions that every woman today must face in a world that keeps trying to provide the answers for them.
Candice Carty-Williams was born in 1989, the result of an affair between a Jamaican cab driver and a dyslexic Jamaican-Indian receptionist. She is a journalist, screenwriter, and author of the Sunday Times bestselling Queenie, a book described as 'vital', 'disarmingly honest' and 'boldly political'. In 2016, Candice created and launched the Guardian and 4th Estate BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) Short Story Prize, the first inclusive initiative of its kind in book publishing. As a journalist she has written for the Guardian, i-D, Vogue International, every iteration of the Sunday Times, BEAT Magazine, Black Ballad and more. She will probably always live in South London.

GPs to crack down on alcohol misuse
Doctors in Wales should take the lead in helping to change people's attitudes towards alcohol misuse, says the Welsh British Medical Association (BMA).
Yesterday they unveiled a new set of policy proposals in a bid to crack down on Wales' growing drinking problem.
The BMA in Wales is calling on the Welsh Assembly and the UK government to work together in taking these proposals forward.
They suggest that more funding should be given to services designed to treat alcoholism and alcohol-related illnesses.
A national roll-out of local schemes is also needed to outlaw the drinking of alcohol in public streets, they say.
These new proposals follow the four point plan published in June to tackle Wales' alcohol problem.
Welsh Secretary of the BMA Dr Richard Lewis said: "The BMA remains focused on offering practical solutions to Wales' growing drink problem.
"After smoking, alcohol is the next big public health issue. The government needs to get grips with the problem."

Mystery of Nature
The Arctic tern flies a phenomenal round trip of 34,000 km per year from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back !
The longest known migratory journey is performed twice a year by the Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) which from the Arctic winter travels south, right across the world to the Antarctic summer and back again – a distance of over 17,000 km each way.
What is bird migration ?
Bird migration refers to the regular seasonal journeys undertaken by many species of birds. Bird movements include those made in response to changes in food availability, habitat or weather. These however are usually irregular or in only one direction and are termed variously as nomadism, invasions, dispersal or irruptions. Migration is marked by its annual seasonality. In contrast, birds that are non-migratory are said to be resident or sedentary.
Indian Migratory Birds
Indian subcontinent plays host to a number of migratory birds in summers as well as winters. It is estimated that over hundred species of migratory birds fly to India, either in search of feeding grounds or to escape the severe winter of their native habitat. This is because winds usually prevail at higher altitudes and at the same time, the cold temperature at these altitudes helps them in diffusing the body heat, which is generated by their flight muscles. The timing of the migration is usually a mixture of internal and external stimulus.
Migrating birds start on a journey when they feel that they have put on enough fat to provide them energy throughout the journey. Then, the tendency to aggregate into flocks is another determinant of the time of migration. Even after the flock, which has to fly together, has gathered, the birds keep on feeding till the weather conditions become favorable. Thus, apart from the internal clock of the birds and their flock, it is also the availability of food and the weather conditions that play a role in the determination of the time of migration.
Why birds migrate?
Food, water, protective cover, and a sheltered place to nest and breed are basic to a bird's survival. But the changing seasons can transform a comfortable environment into an unlivable one — the food and water supply can dwindle or disappear, plant cover can vanish, and competition with other animals can increaseMost wild animals face the problem of occupying a habitat that is suitable for only a portion of the year. Fortunately, however, nature has provided methods for coping with the situation. One method, known as hibernation, involves entering a dormant state during the winter season. The other method, known as migration, involves escaping the area entirely. Because of the powers of flight, most birds adapt to seasonal changes in the environment by migrating. How they do it ? Some birds make the long journey in easy stages, stopping to rest on the way. Others fly great distances without pausing to rest and feed. Some fly by day, some both by day and by night, but most of them speed on their way through darkness after the sun has set. Birds usually travel in flocks. The V-shaped formation of cranes and geese attracts much attention as the bird's speed across the sky. Swallows, flycatchers, warblers, shore birds and water-birds being to gather in flocks- each with its own kind-and, after a great deal of excited fluttering, twittering and calling, they rise up into the air and away they go. Usually the male birds go first to their breeding grounds in bachelor parties and the female birds follow them in a few days!
The movement of birds with the changing seasons was known from the earliest times, but people had strange ideas as to why the birds traveled, or where they went. To explain their absence from a place in a particular season, they said that the birds buried themselves in the mud and slept there throughout the winter! Later, detailed studies of migration started. Information was gained by directly observing the habits of birds, and also by ringing. Bird movements are also studied by creating artificial conditions and studying their effects on birds. Today, most of the information on migration has come from ringing young and adult birds. Ringing is done by capturing a bird and putting on to its leg a light band of metal or plastic. The band bears a number, date, identification mark, and the address to which the finder is requested to return the ring. The bird is then set free. The place where such a bird is shot captured or found dead gives clue to the direction and locality to which the bird has migrated.
Bird Sanctuaries in India
Among the most famous bird sanctuaries in India are, the Keoladeo Ghana National Park in Bharatpur, the Corbett National Park and the Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary, part of Project Tiger. These sanctuaries offer wide variety of bird species.
Keoladeo Ghana National Park is one of India's pioneer wildlife conservation centers. Considered to be the best sites for bird watching in the world, the sanctuary annually hosts thousands of visitors who come to view the spectacular wildlife Spread over an area of 30 square km of marshy swamp, kadam forests, woodland and shallow lakes, the sanctuary offers habitat to both nesting indigenous birds as well as migratory water birds. An amazing number of more than 330 species of birds have been spotted and identified in the sanctuary. The Siberian Crane, the finest and rarest of migratory birds, are the cynosure this sanctuary and are regular visitors.Siberian Crane is believed to have existed in this world for over one million years. However it is of great concern that only 125 pairs of these pure white, crimson-billed cranes estimated to survive worldwide. Profusion of marine vegetation, frogs, fish, insects and mollusks, as well fine setting for migratory birds go a long way to make Keoladeo Ghana National Park an ideal place for pelicans, storks, herons, egrets and kingfishers. Breeding females stay in peaceful co-existence and it is of no surprise that one tree can have nests of different birds. The sanctuary is know to have been the best breeding ground for more than a thousand species of birds. Migratory birds start arriving in the month of October. They include a variety of Geese, Ducks, Raptors, Geese, Warblers and Waders.
Extending over an area of 800 sq km, the Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the forest hills of the Aravalli ranges in the state of Rajasthan. It provides habitat to more than 200 species of birds including the Gray Hornbill, Crested Serpent Eagle, Black/Red Headed Bunting, Wryneck Woodpecker Babbler, White Breasted Kingfisher, Little Brown Dove, Small Minivet, Golden Oriole, Great Gray Shrike, Pale Harrier and Tailor Bird. An example of typical dry deciduous forest, the sanctuary remains lush and green during the monsoons and dry during the rest of the seasons.
Other place is the Pong Dam reservoir is 65 km Pathankot and 115 km from Dharamsala. Nestled in the sylvan surroundings of the Kangra valley, the sprawling Pong Dam wetland has emerged as a major habitat for migratory birds in the country as also an attraction for bird watchers. The most common bird species that have arrived and often visit this lake every year include ruddy-shell ducks (surkhab), bar-headed geese, mallards, coots, pochards and pintails besides rare red-necked grebe and gulls. These species come from as far as China, Siberia, Central Asia, Pakistan and Ladakh. According to a census, more than one lakh migratory birds visited the lake last year.
Apart from being home to the tiger, Corbett National Park is also noted for the bird watching. Considered to be one of the best bird watching sites in the world, the park is home to some 600 species of birds. This number exceeds the total number of bird species found in Europe and is about one fourth of the diversity found in India. A case in point is that out of the 69 species of raptors found in India, 49 can be seen in Corbett. Spreading out on an area of 520 sq km, the Corbett National Park is a hot destination for bird-watchers. Bird-watchers from across the world make a beeline to this park during winters when the bird diversity is at its zenith.

Threats and conservation
Human activities have threatened many migratory bird species. The distances involved in bird migration mean that they often cross political boundaries of countries and conservation measures require international cooperation. Several international treaties have been signed to protect migratory species including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 of the US and the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement.The concentration of birds during migration can put species at risk. Some spectacular migrants have already gone extinct, the most notable being the Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius). Other significant areas include stop-over sites between the wintering and breeding territories. A capture-recapture study of passerine migrants with high fidelity for breeding and wintering sites did not show similar strict association with stop-over sites.Hunting along the migratory route can also take a heavy toll. The populations of Siberian Cranes that wintered in India declined due to hunting along the route, particularly in Afghanistan and Central Asia. Birds were last seen in their favourite wintering grounds in Keoladeo National Park in 2002.Structures such as power lines, wind farms and offshore oil-rigs have also been known to affect migratory birds. Habitat destruction by land use changes is however the biggest threat and shallow wetlands which are stopover and wintering sites for migratory birds are particularly threatened by draining and reclamation for human use.

News Release Details
Opiant Pharmaceuticals Announces Completion of Enrollment in Phase 2 Clinical Trial of OPNT002, Nasal Naltrexone, in Patients with Alcohol Use Disorder
October 6, 2022 at 8:01 AM EDT
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Opiant) (NASDAQ: OPNT), a specialty pharmaceutical company developing medicines to treat addictions and drug overdose, today announced that the last patient has been enrolled in the Phase 2 clinical trial of OPNT002, nasal naltrexone, for patients with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The total trial duration per patient is 20 weeks, with the last patient enrolled expected to complete the study in early 2023 and with top line data anticipated to follow mid-year.
"We are pleased to have completed patient enrollment ahead of schedule and are looking forward to concluding the treatment phase of this study and releasing top-line data next year," said Roger Crystal, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Opiant. "This study is a critical step in our effort to develop alternative therapeutic treatment options to improve the lives of people suffering from alcohol use disorder."
Opiant launched its Phase 2 clinical study of OPNT002 for the treatment of alcohol use disorder in January 2022. The multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-control Phase 2 study is being conducted in Europe, and is designed to evaluate OPNT002 efficacy, safety, and tolerability in 300 patients with AUD. The trial is being conducted using a Sequential Parallel Comparison Study Design, which is useful in psychiatric studies to reduce the impact of the placebo effect on the assessment of treatment response. The primary end point will be measured by the proportion of patients showing an improvement in World Health Organization (WHO) Risk Levels of Alcohol Consumption consisting of a 2-level reduction from baseline to end of treatment.
About OPNT002
Clinical and preclinical studies have shown that alcohol releases endorphins, which are the brain's endogenous opioids. These endorphins are thought to activate opioid receptors, which contribute to alcohol's reinforcing and addictive properties. Current naltrexone treatments work to block mu-opioid receptors when administered orally or through injection. However, converging lines of evidence indicate that activation of delta-opioid receptors also contributes to the reinforcing properties of alcohol. The effective blockade of delta‐opioid receptors requires much higher plasma naltrexone concentrations than is achieved by currently approved naltrexone products1.
Opiant is developing OPNT002 to rapidly increase plasma concentrations of naltrexone following dosing and thereby block mu and delta-opioid receptors. In previous research, OPNT002 has demonstrated rapid nasal absorption, delivering high levels of naltrexone yet with a short half-life. Results from Phase 1 studies demonstrate that OPNT002 produces maximum plasma concentrations that are approximately 50% higher than orally administered naltrexone. This feature, along with a very rapid onset and a short plasma half-life, are characteristics ideally suited to developing OPNT002 for 'as needed' nasal dosing in anticipation of drinking, or once drinking has started2,3.
About Alcohol Use Disorder
Alcohol use disorder is a chronic relapsing brain disease characterized by compulsive use of alcohol and the inability to control intake. It is the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States, and according to the WHO, harmful use of alcohol is responsible for 5.1% of the global burden of disease4,5. A report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found that deaths from alcohol use increased by 43% from 2006 to 20186. Currently, less than 10% of individuals with AUD seek treatment for their drinking problems7, and many individuals with AUD who do not seek alcohol treatment report not wanting to stop drinking as their primary reason for not seeking treatment8. Individuals with AUD who do not initially accept an abstinence goal may find treatment more appealing if it is focused on reductions in drinking.

Everyone thinks Chardonnay St. Pierre is nothing more than a blond celebutant. But underneath the designer clothes is a gifted athlete with a deep compassion for those in need.
Firefighter Ryder McBride's middle-class Napa upbringing has left him skeptical of 'wine princesses.' See what happens in the coming weeks when Ry and Char are forced together as they compete in a half marathon for their favorite charities!
The St. Pierre sisters tumbled into the Napa County jail, stopping short at the transparent barrier in front of the reception desk. Chardonnay vaguely recalled the floor plan from her last visit. From a holding cell in the rear, they could hear Papa bellowing in his unmistakable Franglais.
Papa had always had a flair for the dramatic.
Following an interminable wait during which the incessant click of her older sister's pacing echoed off the tile walls, they were let into a processing area and a young officer holding a clipboard came out to meet them.
"Which one of you is"—he raised the clipboard to eye level and squinted—"Sauvignon?" he said with the audible equivalent of an eye roll.
This guy must be new to the force. The St. Pierres weren't accustomed to going many places in the valley without being recognized.
Thank heavens Savvy was an attorney. Well, almost. She'd recently graduated law school but had yet to take the bar.
Was it their fault Papa had named his daughters for grape varietals?
**SPECIAL GIVEAWAY**: Heather is giving away a digital copy of A TASTE OF CHARDONNAY to one lucky winner who comments on her Killer Book Bench blog. Don't miss this chance to read this great story! Thanks, Heather, for sharing your new release with us!
Hi Karen! Launch week has been way, WAY beyond my expecations. The bad news: no milk or clean underwear. I've had to dig up one of those too-tight pairs that gives me muffin-top. Who out there can relate?
Good morning, Heather, and welcome to Karen's Killer Book Bench! I know that I can relate to lack of clean clothes. 🙂 My entire house falls apart around release day. But it's so much fun!
Your books sounds really interesting. I am adding it to my reading list right now.
Thanks Paula! I hope you love it!
bn100, I hope you like it! It's been suggested I keep going with wine varietals….A Taste of Burgundy, A Taste of Pinot, A Taste of Bud? kekeke…What do you think?
It was great being here on Karen's Killer Book Bench. I hope everyone enjoys A Taste of Chardonnay. There's plenty more drama coming up in the next 3 books in The Napa Wine Heiresses! And don't forget, if you enjoy the books, tell a book-loving friend. Thanks and stay in touch on facebook, twitter, pinterest or instagram!

Married doctors working to balance personal, professional lives
Standing in the living room as her husband, Ryan, answers the doorbell, Alexandra Walsh cradles their 6-week-old son, Colin Alexander, in her arms, kissing him gently on one cheek and then nuzzling the other.
By PAUL HARASIM LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
June 23, 2013 - 6:59 am
Dr. Alexandra Walsh holds 6-week-old Colin at their home. Colin, born premature, spent weeks in the hospital.
Dr. Ryan Walsh works with patient Jose L. Martinez while Martinez's wife, Irma, looks on during an appointment at the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health.
Dr. Ryan Walsh plays with his 1-year-old daughter, Eva, at their home. A nanny helps care for Eva and her brothers.
Dr. Alexandra Walsh stands in a room at Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada. Walsh is a pediatric oncologist; her husband specializes in treating Parkinson's disease.
As her mommy stands above her, 12-month-old Eva Walsh, fresh from her daddy's arms, giggles as her experiment with walking takes her to a stumbling, arms up, head first, soft landing on love-seat cushions.
Sitting nearby, 6-year-old Liam Walsh puts an iPad through its paces.
"Colin's doing fine now," the mother of three coos as she once again kisses the little one she holds.
In May, however, she wasn't sure how her baby — delivered five weeks early by emergency C-section after she went into preterm labor — would fare.
Nor was she sure it was OK for her to cry when she saw tiny 3 pound, 12 ounce Colin hooked up to the wires and tubes that kept him alive.
"I was embarrassed by my crying. Here I am a doctor and I'm thinking I should know how to handle this. Everyone there, of course, said it was OK for me to cry. It's one thing to be a doctor and to know what's likely, and it really is different being a mom. I was so worried about him when he was in the hospital for three weeks."
Dr. Alexandra Walsh. Dr. Ryan Walsh. Two Las Vegas physicians trying to keep patients from either succumbing to cancer or movement disorders — doctors working hard at trying to find just the right balance between family and the practice of medicine.
In a country where insight into the lives of physicians often comes from TV series such as "General Hospital," the soap opera celebrating 50 years this year, it's instructive, but admittedly less racy, to talk with a couple early in their healing-profession careers about the proper balance between personal and professional lives.
She's a pediatric oncologist with Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada and he deals largely with Parkinson's disease patients at the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. How good they are at striking a balance can affect their families, but also patient care.
Studies show that one in 10 physicians, often describing themselves as stressed out, develop problems with alcohol or drugs during their careers, about the same rate as other white-collar professionals.
But what makes physicians unusual, addiction experts say, is their knowledge of what heavy drug use can do, their easy access to medication and the risk to patients. Some patients' rights safety groups are so concerned that they have called for mandatory drug testing of medical professionals, an action many in the medical community argue would infringe on personal privacy.
Dr. Ryan Walsh, at 39 a year older than his wife, says he and the woman he calls "Lexa" are well aware that some physicians have problems with drugs or alcohol.
"If you're in medicine long enough, you see that some doctors don't have a good way to cope with stress," he says.
That inability, he adds, can also mean broken families. Among the top seven professions with high divorce rates, the medical field even has one specialty, psychiatry, where the rate is more than 50 percent.
"We're fortunate in that we can talk with each other at home about our challenges at work and we have a very good sense of what the other has been through," Ryan Walsh says. "We talk very candidly to stay on top of things."
They might commiserate about how an insurance company refused to cover a test he or she thought necessary for a patient, how the best drug regimen known in medical science couldn't stop a beautiful little girl from dying of cancer, how one patient did so well on a medication for Parkinson's while another 's tremors only got worse.
"But we also realize that we have to switch gears for ourselves and our children, or our lives are not going to work," he says.
Married almost 10 years, the Walshes met on a blind date while he was a student in a National Institutes of Health M.D. doctoral program at the University of Cincinnati and she was studying down the road in Columbus at the Ohio State University College of Medicine.
Friends set them up to meet at a party at her apartment. On their second date, he told her he was going to marry her.
"It really was love at first sight," Ryan Walsh says.
When his future wife went to the University of Chicago for her pediatric residency, Walsh put about 29,000 miles on his car the first year driving between Cincinnati and Chicago on weekends. Caught in a snowstorm during one trip, he ended up driving nearly 300 miles behind salt trucks that were clearing the way.
"When Ryan's committed to someone or some thing, he's really committed," Alexandra Walsh says, laughing.
While both were students at the University of Chicago — he later went there for a residency in neurology — they married in her hometown of Sacramento, Calif. Liam, the first of what they hoped would be three children, was born in Chicago.
There, they learned to juggle their schedules so one or the other was always on hand to take or pick up their little boy from day care. "We didn't get a lot of sleep — Liam wasn't a great sleeper — but it was a learning experience and we grew closer," Ryan Walsh says. "We learned who we really were, a lot about the give and take, when it came to the importance of family."
The Walshes did further medical training at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She completed a fellowship in pediatric hematology/oncology and also received a master's degree in public health. He did fellowship training in movement disorders, developing an MRI-based analysis of brain networks underlying cognitive dysfunction in Parkinson's disease, an affliction that causes an individual to lose the ability to control body movements.
In their mid-30s, with their medical training almost completed in 2010, they started looking for their first full-time positions. It turned out that both the Ruvo Center and Comprehensive Cancer Centers would need physicians in their specialties in 2011.
Everything except their plans for family was going well. Unable to get pregnant again — fertility treatments didn't work — they started adoption proceedings in Nevada even before they moved from Alabama.
A year ago they adopted the little girl they call Eva.
About three months later, Alexandra Walsh started feeling ill. Her "illness" was another pregnancy.
"We wanted three children," she says, smiling. "We just got them another way."
During their first two years in Las Vegas, the Walshes quickly made a name for themselves in medical circles. She started a free survivor clinic for pediatric cancer patients and their families.
With the survival rate of children five years after treatment now 80 percent, Alexandra Walsh says the young survivors moving into adulthood, as well as their parents, must be aware that toxic drug and radiation therapies used to kill cancers often place former patients at higher risk for problems such as new cancers; heart, lung, liver and kidney complications; emotional and psychological challenges; and sexual and overall growth development.
"Knowledge is power," Alexandra Walsh says, stressing that timely visits with specialists at the survivor clinic can recognize problems early, so they're more easily overcome.
Cynthia Compson, whose 11-year-old son, Steven, overcame leukemia first diagnosed at age 3, is grateful to Alexandra Walsh.
"Dr. Walsh understood that we need further help," says Compson, whose son is unable to concentrate in class because of what drug treatments did to his brain. "We need all the help we can get."
At a recent appointment at the Ruvo Center, Jose L. Martinez, a retired 72-year-old tightrope artist for the Ringling Bro s. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, talks about how Dr. Ryan Walsh, now the director of the movement disorders program, found medications for his Parkinson's disease that "keep me from falling like I did before."
Dr. Jeffrey Cummings, director of the Ruvo Center, says he's been heartened by "the breadth of knowledge Dr. Walsh brings to the area of movement disorders. It really helps our patients."
Huntington's disease patient Jenny Rodgers, who headed a support group for people with the disease before her recent move to California, says Ryan Walsh "always made himself available to help people with the disease."
Huntington's, a hereditary, degenerative brain disorder for which there is no cure, deteriorates an individual's ability to walk, speak and swallow as the disease progresses.
"He's one of those doctors who really cares," Rodgers says. "He went on walks to raise money for a cure and would work to get Social Security disability and other services for patients. He'd go way above and beyond what most doctors do."
That these married doctors have been able to go above and beyond in their work is in large part, they say, because of having a nanny, Linda Ravera, who comes to their home during the day five days a week.
Alexandra Walsh calls her "wonderful with children." And Ryan Walsh says she gives them "the peace of mind" they need to not worry about their children as they work with patients.
Both Walshes understand they're fortunate their profession, which puts them in the top 10 percent of American income earners, gives them the financial ability to have a nanny.
Alexandra Walsh says that when she was at the hospital for Colin she often found herself thinking about how difficult it had to be for parents emotionally, but also when they're hard-pressed for money.
"You're there much of the day, anxious to hear from your doctor when he has rounds," she says. "I'm going to suggest that when we make rounds for pediatric cancer patients it's done early morning."
With Colin , the Walshes take turns getting up to give him a bottle. Due to go back to work from maternity leave soon, Alexandra Walsh knows that her growing family may make it more difficult for her and her husband to have a "date night" once every two weeks. "It may be difficult to arrange, but I think it's important," she says.
It also may be more difficult for her to work in her yoga and treadmill exercise and more challenging for her husband to jog. "But we have to do it to stay healthy," Ryan Walsh says.
When both work, once they get the children to bed they often go over emails from work and upcoming cases. Seldom is the TV on.
Liam, who's taken to school by one of his parents each day, already enjoys chess, martial arts and doing historical research on the Internet. He is allowed only about a half-hour of TV a day.
He enjoys hiking at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area with his parents on weekends, which is when he also helps his mother cook meals that can be eaten the rest of the week. Sometimes he helps his dad work on the family finances and take out the garbage.
As her family has grown, Alexandra Walsh, who volunteered at a hospital as a teen and became a doctor because "she wanted to make a difference," says she grows more grateful each day that her children are healthy.
"I never take our lives for granted, not when I see my patients and their families going through so much," she says. "When we lose one and I go to a funeral, I feel terrible. I know it's important that I be there, but it really drains me. You want to help these families so much — they are wonderful people — and then it's so awful when we lose the battle. I cry so for them. I can't imagine what it's like to lose a child."
Ryan Walsh, a cardiologist's son who still regularly sends his wife flowers and surprises her with love notes and jewelry, realizes that it's not going to be easy to maintain the right balance in their lives.
"It will be a constant juggling act," he says. "Things will always be changing. We'll have to be very honest when we talk. We'll just keep working to get it right."

If Juliet, instead of musing quietly, had given her lines a good bellow the youthful 'Romeos' at the Accademia could have heard her.

Roderick Hudson est le deuxième roman d'Henry James, d'abord publié sous forme de feuilleton dans l'Atlantic Monthly à partir de , puis repris la même année en volume chez l'éditeur James T. Osgood & Co.

Résumé
Roderick Hudson, un jeune brillant avocat, abandonne soudainement sa carrière de juriste et sa fiancée pour se lancer en art. Bientôt vu comme un prometteur sculpteur de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, il est emmené à Rome par son ami Rowland Mallet, afin d'y poursuive ses études. Il donne très vite des preuves de son génie. Destiné depuis toujours à épouser sa cousine Mary Garland, il tombe cependant amoureux d'une fort belle Romaine, qui s'avère finalement inaccessible, car promise par ses parents à un prince italien. Consumé par sa passion, Roderick sombre dans la dépression et cesse de créer.

Venues en Europe pour tenter d'arranger les choses, la fiancée et la mère de Roderick offrent au jeune homme un certain réconfort.  Sa mère surtout parvient à le persuader d'entreprendre un voyage pour mieux oublier sa déception amoureuse.

En Suisse, où Roderick séjourne, le mauvais sort place à nouveau sur son chemin la belle Christine, désormais mariée. Roderick croit que cette malheureuse rencontre lui annonce sa déchéance rapide. Or, les néfastes conséquences qui auraient pu naître de cette fausse situation ne se produiront jamais, puisque Roderick meurt en faisant une chute fatale dans un précipice.

I was dying to photograph this apple orchard, farm-to-table, brewery reception wedding from the moment Andrew told me he was going to propose to Ruth. Colin and I were sitting outside at Texas Corners Brewing Company on our first date night since moving back to Michigan. I've known Andrew for years from school and his family farm, but I had never seen him so giddy... smile crinkles dancing in place happy. The whole wedding was full to overflowing with joy. From an outdoor ceremony with the orchard as a backdrop to the reception at the brewery and the best wedding band I've ever heard (seriously, their rendition of Up Town Funk was AMAZING), it was the kind of wedding I could have stayed at forever. At the end of the night, Ruth asked to take a picture with me because "You're not just our photographer, you're our friend!"
Folks, that's what I live for.
Colin shot this session with me and it ended with us getting drinks with Branda and Kevin at Founders Brewing Co. Basically, we just met our new BFFs.
