You’re Your Worst Critic
I found David Suissa’s article “Exporting Self-Criticism” (Oct. 31) really powerful. Instead of thinking that Israeli President Reuven Rivlin’s words were troubling, I was shown the opposite. Instead of being bothered by Israel being a sick society, it proves that Israel’s self-criticism only makes it better. Telling the world that Israel is a sick society that needs treatment doesn’t scare Israel; instead, it propels it forward. This shows us that Israel doesn’t let others dictate its behavior. Israelis don’t care what others have to say, and they do what is right for them. Being self-critical is what makes you want to do better, and we see that by Israel being a global leader in different aspects. Being able to fail only brings you to achieve goals. Israel is not perfect, but being able to self-criticize shows the world that they want to be better.
Adi Raviv, Los Angeles
As a believer in criticism to obtain results, I found David Suissa’s article extremely accurate. As shocking as it may have been to hear the Israeli president himself condemn Israel’s society, it was also remarkable. I believe it takes a true leader and believer in making society better to speak up and criticize their own country’s wrongdoings. The return of hostility between Israeli Arabs and Jews due to the Gaza war was a perfect flaw to pinpoint, and hopefully that hostility will change. I agree that a sick society is one that does not acknowledge itself as sick, and that is the flaw in other countries. Other countries cannot openly admit that their societies are blemished and they refuse to seek change.
Thank you to Suissa for pointing out that self-criticism is the path to change for the better.

From my experience working with rabbinic courts on cases of Jewish divorce, I maintain that it is a confluence of the two; that is, for those who are corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Freundel has a morally deficient character, but if keys to the future of a particular woman reside solely in the hands of one person, it invites corruption. Especially where the long arm of the Israeli rabbinate in our Diaspora communities confers that power, upon a particular rabbi or a single rabbinic court.
To create systemic change in L.A., we need an independent liaison between the Rabbinical Council of California, the Orthodox congregational rabbis, and the men and women they serve. We need an address to which concerns, complaints and demands for policy changes can be addressed.

Naomi Pfefferman’s article on Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus (“Rise and Shine, Crash and Burn: The Untold Story of Cannon Films,” Oct. 24) brought back a lot of memories. I dealt with them extensively when I was editor of the Hollywood Reporter. Golan and Globus made themselves very well known, albeit not always on the favorable side. I eventually bought stock in Cannon, although everyone warned me not to do so. I bought on the strength of the two producers, and the stock made money for me because I sold when they told me to.
They were Hollywood’s rascals. The best way I can describe them.

The rare soprano sfogato Anoki Von Arx from Austria, whose vzo, just like Maria Callas' voice, along with the Czech pianist Petr Vašíček present a tribute to Maria Callas at Technopolis 20 on Thursday.
The duo will present a music story with famous arias from Callas' career. Anoki Von Arx will bring a unique element to the Opera. Before performing each aria, Anoki likes to enchant the audience with the story of the musical piece, and the Opera from which it originates, setting the scene for each song.
"Bringing the characters in her tale to life, the audience can't fail but to be mesmerised by her beautiful voice and magical performance," say organisers. The two musicians have previously collaborated in Paris on this Maria Callas homage and now they are bringing it to Paphos.
Anoki, though an established soprano now, began her career with dancing and when she devoted herself to opera singing, she combined it with Breakdance and Hip Hop. She's toured Vienna and will soon head to the US for another tour. Until then, she stops in Cyprus for this Maria Callas tribute.
Accompanying Anoki on the piano is the celebrated Petr Vašíček, an outstanding pianist and an expert in the work of Maria Callas. "We are particularly thrilled that Petr will also provide a narrative on the life of the star during this performance," add organisers.


Brandi Rollins is storyteller that photographs the beauty of human connection. When clients look at their photos, she wants them to not only see themselves...she wants them to see how beautiful they are, and how lovely their relationships and families are.
The truth is that our photos matter. Photos hold memories for us. They evoke smiles and tears long after they are taken. For this reason, it is Brandi's mission to take vivid photos that capture the love, tenderness, and joy within each family, individual, wedding, and event that she is privileged to have in front of her camera.
Brandi Rollins has had a passion for photography since she received her first hot pink camera in elementary school. She began using semi-professional camera equipment to photograph recipes for her online blog and book, Raw Foods on a Budget. In 2017, she turned professional after being hired to photograph a family member's wedding. Since then, she has had the opportunity to photograph weddings, birthdays, baptisms, family portraits, couples, graduates, and professionals.
More about Brandi R....
I love to tell stories, and to capture connection and intimacy with my camera. I love that I get to meet new people, make them laugh, and show them how beautiful they are. It is really wonderful work.
I have done engagement and anniversary shoots. I make them special by getting to know the couple, making them laugh, and emphasizing that I am simply here to document their connection. I am not interested in making them look like someone else. What they already have is beautiful and it is my job to capture this beauty. Oh and I have them make out a bit lol. In fact, I use this same approach for weddings, events, and family sessions: I get to know them, make them laugh, and I document intimacy and connection.
I have not received any awards. However, one my books that featured my food photography won an independent book publishers award in 2012.
I am a research professor at Penn State University (work remotely). Oh and I spent time in an Ecuadorian prison....doing an ethnography :).

In honor of the holiday weekend, Amazon.com has my new book on sale for $11.50 AND it qualifies for Prime free 2-day shipping! This elementary edition will greatly simplify your life, in that each puzzle and its graph paper are contained on a single page... making them easy to import into a mobile device for coloring with Notability, Skitch, or some other coloring app.
Each of the individual chapters are for sale in my TpT store as well, if you want to try one out before buying the whole book.
And now for the long-awaited 4th edition of Zombie App Mashup... my two new favorite apps! Seesaw: The Learning Journal and Number Pieces Basic (which is anything BUT!). I can't take credit myself for either of them. One of my third grade teacher friends suggested the Seesaw app for his 3rd grade students, to be able to create, upload and submit work samples to the teacher without having to log into any accounts. And my first grade teacher friends tasked me with finding a place value app... then try it with their students! It was a big success!
Students can take a picture, write on it, or take a video, create a drawing, or pull an item off the camera roll. You as the teacher get an alert to "moderate" the item, to make sure it is tagged correctly, and that the work sample is high quality enough to be saved. Once you "accept", the item goes into that student's folder and then parents can be notified via email or push notification that a new item has been submitted. Easy enough for kindergarten; sophisticated enough for much older students to benefit as well! Here is a demo work sample:
Now let's change gears over to the Number Pieces Basic app... so you can see how that ties in... imagine you are teaching in a 1:1 environment, or as is the case for my district, a cart model. Students can easily log in and out of the Seesaw app on the cart, but they can also have the power to share work they have done in various apps.
Hold down the home button and sleep button at the same time.
You can practice this as a station or as a 1:1 iPad activity, or as a whole-group activity on your teacher iPad.
Imagine the power... at conferences... your parents come in to hear how their child is doing in your class, and you have all sorts of work samples to show them. Video, picture, app screen shots, in addition to test scores and other paper items. What a great way to show growth over the course of the year!

Restorations can take a variety of different forms, and the type that your dentist will suggest will vary depending on the extent of the restoration required.
Crowns are also a very popular variety of restoration. They take the form of a tooth-shaped cap, that are designed and colored to match as closely as possible to your existing teeth. Crowns can sit over an implant to take the place of a missing tooth, or to hold a bridge in place, and they restore the strength, appearance, shape, and size of your teeth so well that they are virtually imperceptible once in placxtremely robust solution to missing, damaged or unsightly teeth. They are made up of three parts – a titanium screw or post that is inserted into yourm both together. Implants are permanenteat, drink and talk without any impact on your day to day life.
If you have two or more missing teeth, then your dentist may recommend a bridge as the best course of action. Dental bridges are comprised of false teeth that are designed to bridge any gaps left by missing teeth. They are anchored to natural teeth using crowns, and then cemented firmly into place.
Dentures are essentially the predecessor to dental implants. They are available as a complete set, which replaces all of your teeth either on the top or the bottom of your jaw, or a partial set which is usually recommended when you have some healthy natural teeth. Dentures are removable, which makes them less popular than implants as you have to take them out to eat certain foods.
A veneer is an ultra-thin molding of porcelain that is custom-created for your tooth and bonded to the surface of an affected tooth in order to restore it. Theychipped or misshapen, although some people do like to get them for their cosmetic value.
If you think you need dental restoration treatment, we recommend that you speak to your Alexandria dentist. We will be happy to advise you which is right for your dent!

Someone told me that Google uses an algorithm that includes the number of views of web pages when it produces its results. If that's true, there must be a lot of interest in Air America for it to place so high.
That interest in Air America isn't shared by the MSM, in the wake of the scandal embroiling the company. Right-wing bloggers are all over the story (see, for example, here), but the MSM has shown little interest in it. Given the other problems that the ratings-challenged* network has, they might be reluctant to put another straw on that camel's back. But if any other organization was caught diverting funds from disadvantaged children and Alzheimer sufferers, you've gotta believe that it would be a Page One story.
Air America only has itself to blame for being in their pickle. After all, they could have gotten a loan from Jon Corzine.

#6. Lou Garoux
Lou Garoux is not his real name. That has been lost in the sands of time. He has gone through many aliases, and Lou Garoux is just the one he has adopted for the time being. He is the world’s most prolific, successful serial killer. After all, he’s been killing for centuries now.
Knowledge of his origins is limited. It is not even known for sure where he originally came from. Some suggest Eastern Europe, others France, a few believe he’s Scandinavian, and most of that is second-hand conjecture anyway, given how few people have met him and are alive today to talk about it. His voice gives away no clues, with an accent flattened into the neutral tone of someone who has travelled all over the world with nowhere he calls home. Reports of how he came to be are similarly inconsistent, though the most prevalent story begins some time in the 13th Century.
According to this narrative, the man that would go on to be known as Lou Garoux was even before his change a notorious murderer and brute. Unrepentant, but fearing God’s judgement for his crimes, the man sought a means to evade death, and enjoy everlasting life. His search led him to a nameless drifter who, through a series of dark rituals, imbued the man with the totem of the wolf, rendering him effectively immortal and turning him into what has been known in folklore and literature as a lycanthrope, or later, a werewolf.
In truth, much of the stories about the werewolf are just that: stories. Garoux has no vulnerability to silver, though wolfsbane is highly toxic to him. His bite cannot turn others into a werewolf, even if he were to leave any of his victims alive. He does not depend on the full moon for transformation: , and highly enhanced senses, at all times. In fact, the moon has no effect on his physical appearance, and the only time he changes into his wolf form is at the moment of feeding. And though history and habit has led to it being called a “wolf form”, what he in fact turns into is far more monstrous and terrifying than any wolf that has ever walked this earth.
This is not to say the full moon has no hold over Garoux. As part of the transformative rituals the drifter took him through, his soul was bound to the cycles of the moon, and when it is full, his bloodlust and sexual appetite (they are just about one and the same for him) are at their peak. And so he has lived through the centuries, willingly led by his urges, killing and feeding according to the schedule of the moon’s cycle.
Currently, he resides in New Orleans, long one of his favourite American cities. Investigations by local police into the recent upsurge in missing persons cases have thus far proved fruitless.

Shadow Government: To Face Off Against China, Copy Its Playbook To Face Off Against China, Copy I...
A transparent model car is displayed at the Huawei booth during the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition on Sept. 27, 2020.
March 6, 2021, 6:00 AM
U.S. President Joe Biden is right to make China his first foreign-policy priority. But his proposed first step of talking to U.S. allies before doing anything is very much the wrong way to start. While it’s generally better to have help from allies to achieve objectives, that principle only holds if the help is genuine and the objectives are shared.
Washington’s European Union allies, such as Germany and France, have already disrespected Biden by completing an investment agreement with China—ignoring his team’s polite request that they delay at least until after speaking with him following his inauguration. Even more disturbing is the fact that the EU-China deal is of questionable value for Europe. On paper, it offers expanded opportunities for investment in both directions. But the reality of the deal became clear when EU negotiators claimed success in pursuading Beijing to make “sustained efforts” to sign the International Labour Organization’s protocol against forced labor. One wonders if EU leaders are going to hold their breath until that signature appears.
This smacks of failed approaches by past U.S. presidents from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama, whose advisors presumed that melding China into the global economy would lead it to become a responsible stakeholder in the liberal, rule-based global system. Instead, what Biden and his allied counterparts must urgently do is reduce the West’s dependence on China’s economy and technology.
That China is not interested in becoming a stakeholder in the liberal order should now be clear from experience—and from Beijing’s own statements. In 2013, the Chinese Communist Party circulated Document 9, which emphasized the party’s fundamental opposition to constitutional democracy, civil society, universal values, and any media not adhering to the party’s discipline. And in the 2015 Five Year Plan, Beijing announced the Made in China 2025 program, which aims to use industrial policy to achieve Chinese domination of high-tech sectors like airplanes, semiconductors, and artificial intelligence. This is an excellent explanation of what might be called globalization with Chinese characteristics.
It was in reaction to all this that Trump’s U.S. trade representative, Robert Lighthizer, tried a different tack, challenging China with import tariffs and other measures. One can argue about its success, but what should be abundantly clear is any attempted return to engagement, with or without allies, will lead to a dead end. As a 50-year veteran of negotiations in Asia, I can assure Biden that if engaging allies means more talks aimed at trying to persuade China to change its policies and actions, they will be a complete waste of his time. There may have been a time in the early 1990s—following the Chinese Communist Party’s massacre of students demonstrating for democracy in Tiananmen Square—or in 2001, when China joined the World Trade Organization—when allies’ pressure could have changed Beijing’s economic policies. But that is simply no longer the case. Mere talks, whether bilateral or involving allies, will not change the direction or method of China’s economic development.
It is absolutely imperative that the United States and its allies substantially reduce their economic and technological dependence on China.
On the other hand, a united coalition of allies could have a major impact if it cooperated to improve free-world manufacturing, strengthen technological performance, and reduce reliance on China.
Take a small example to start: Beijing is currently slashing its imports from Australia, including coal, barley, lobsters, and wine. It is doing this to retaliate against Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s call for an international investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 virus. These actions by Beijing are in complete violation of World Trade Organization rules and other trade agreements. But Beijing knows it is Australia’s largest customer, and it is using Australia’s vulnerability to teach it a political lesson. One concrete step would be for Washington and its allies to establish a consortium that would offset Australia’s lost export sales by stepping in as the buyer. This would not be charity; Australian wine is excellent and will easily find buyers outside of China.
On a larger scale, it is absolutely imperative that the United States and the rest of the free world substantially reduce their economic and technological dependence on China to avoid the kind of coercion Australia suffered and to maintain their own productive and inventive vitality. Further talks will never convince the Chinese Communist Party to yield power or give up its drive for coercive dominance. Only a significant lessening of dependence on China will reduce that power. Such a reduction of dependence does not have to occur instantly or across all industries. But for the sectors targeted by Made in China 2025, it is imperative that the free world remains—or again becomes—the leader in both technology and manufacturing.
How to do this is not a mystery. The United States ran the greatest industrial policy of all time when it built the economy that won World War II. It responded to the Soviet Union’s Sputnik challenge by going to the moon. It was U.S. industrial policy, not Apple’s Steve Jobs or Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, that developed the semiconductor and the internet—ditto for aviation and many other key industries still dominated by U.S. producers. Biden should imitate China by adopting a “Made in the Free World 2030” project—and inviting U.S. allies to participate—to assure U.S. and free-world leadership in innovation and production in the essential technology industries of the future. Made in the United States, the EU, India, Japan, and elsewhere in the free world should be the overriding objective.
Proponents of free trade and the globalization establishment will doubtless cavil. But when all costs are counted, global supply chains are often not the best economic solutions. They add substantially to greenhouse gas emissions and are highly fragile in the face of unexpected disruption, as we all saw during the pandemic. The costs of unemployment, social dislocation, and lost skills to which overreliance on global supply chains give rise have been greatly underestimated in the past, as demonstrated by the stagnation of middle-class incomes in the last 40 years and the rise of populism in the United States and Europe.
An example of such a free-world supply chain could be demonstrated in 5G telecommunications, where China’s Huawei has become the world leader and no U.S. company is seriously in the game. Biden should propose putting U.S. support behind the two European companies—Sweden’s Ericsson and Finland’s Nokia—with cutting-edge technology that could be the free world’s suppliers if supported against Chinese dumping and Beijing’s other methods to pressure countries and advance Huawei.
They could be combined into a giant “Free World Free Trade Agreement” that would dwarf anything China could accomplish.
Of course, this path will inevitably entail some adjustment costs—but we must remember that it’s not really about costs. Rather, it is about values: free speech, rule of law, and representative democracy, which the Chinese Communist Party has loudly and explicitly declared it stands against. Each iPhone rolling off a Chinese assembly line and every dollar, euro, or yen invested in the country strengthens the party and its ability to crush freedom in Hong Kong, bully its neighbors in the South China Sea, and extinguish the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Biden should aim to reduce those flows—which means, among other things, reining in Wall Street—and lower the leverage the Chinese Communist Party has already acquired over the free world.
Of course, this would entail some actions and policies the United States can pursue unilaterally—and others that would involve allies. On its own, Washington could undertake programs similar to those it pursued before the era of offshoring and hyperglobalization, such as the Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (SEMATECH) project that helped revitalize the U.S. semiconductor industry in the late 1980s. It worked then, and there is no reason for it not to work today. But this time, instead of being limited to the semiconductor industry, the program could be extended to industries like robotics, artificial intelligence, and biotech.
In artificial intelligence, the United States is still the lead player, but China is catching up fast thanks to the enormous data flows generated by its vast population. To match that advantage, the United States could establish joint projects with the EU, India, and other countries that agree to share certain levels of data. The EU’s single market, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership all establish free trade among mainly democratic countries. They could conceivably be combined into one giant “Free World Free Trade Agreement” that would dwarf anything China could accomplish. None of this needs to be terribly difficult to achieve. It just requires leadership and clear objectives in Washington and allied capitals.
In short, Biden and his allied counterparts must stop asking how they can change China. Rather, they must ask how the free world can organize itself to face off against Beijing.

How to Avoid Negative Side Effects of a Gluten-Free Diet and Make the Most of Your Diet
Gluten-free diets are trending due to increasing awareness of gluten sensitivity and the myriad ways in which gluten can adversely impact health. As of 2017, 3.1 million people across the United States reported following a gluten-free diet. (1) After being confined to health food stores for decades, gluten-free foods can currently be found nearly anywhere, with mainstream supermarkets and fast-food joints alike offering gluten-free options. (2) In 2018, the gluten-free foods market was valued at $2.7 billion, and this figure is expected to double by 2025. (3)
Gluten-Free Diets Can Be Life-Changing, but They Are Not All Created Equal
Six Possible Negative Effects and Drawbacks of a Gluten-Free Diet
What Is the Ideal Gluten-Free Diet? Whole, Nutrient-Dense Foods
Limit the Cost of Going Gluten-Free by Eating Whole, Naturally Gluten-Free Foods
While simply eliminating gluten can be helpful for people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), and potentially lifesaving for those with celiac disease, gluten-free diets are not all created equal. Emerging research shows that the typical gluten-free diet is lacking in fiber, minerals, and other micronutrients. It may also be high in mycotoxins and heavy metals, toxins that detract from our health. Read on to learn about the potential pitfalls and negative effects of a gluten-free diet, and why whole, nutrient-dense foods should form the foundation of a healthy, sustainable gluten-free diet.

A gluten-free diet requires the complete exclusion of gluten, a protein complex naturally found in:
Due to its low cost and stabilizing, thickening, and flow-enhancing properties, gluten is also used as an additive in countless processed food products. In genetically susceptible individuals, gluten triggers an autoimmune reaction, damaging intestinal villi and extraintestinal tissues (celiac disease) or gut dysbiosis and a non-autoimmune systemic inflammatory response in NCGS.
As many people with celiac disease and NCGS will attest, a gluten-free diet can be life-changing, producing vast improvements in symptoms and health. Yet, while research clearly supports the health benefits of gluten-free diets for susceptible individuals, the scientific community has begun to question the nutritional profile of products people use to replace gluten-containing foods. (4) Research indicates that a gluten-free diet alone is insufficient for improving symptoms in a subset of people with celiac disease, suggesting that the typical gluten-free diet is not necessarily health-promoting. (5, 6) Unfortunately, many people new to the gluten-free diet try to replace their favorite gluten-containing foods with gluten-free alternatives, made with processed and refined flours. A gluten-free diet centered around these foods poses several health concerns and is not an ideal long-term solution.

1. Gluten-Free Replacements Are a Significant Source of Acellular Carbs
Acellular carbohydrates are carbohydrate-containing foods that lack intact cells. The carbs in these foods have a high carbohydrate density and are recent additions to the human diet. Examples of acellular carbs include flour and flour-based products like gluten-free bread, bagels, cookies, cakes, etc. Cellular carbs, on the other hand, are carbohydrate-containing foods in their natural form with intact cells. These cells are made of dietary fiber, which slows down the digestion and absorption of the carbohydrate molecules, creating food with a low carbohydrate density. Examples of cellular carbs include sweet potatoes and whole fruit.
Research indicates that acellular carbohydrates promote the growth of inflammatory gut bacteria and have adverse effects on blood sugar control and satiety. (7) Unfortunately, many gluten-free foods are made with corn, rice, and other starchy gluten-free flours, and are thus rich in acellular carbs. (8) Consuming lots of foods made with gluten-free flour may, therefore, impair the gut microbiota and metabolic health.
Do Processed Gluten-Free Foods Trigger Fat Gain?
Interestingly, an increase in body mass index (BMI) is commonly observed in children with celiac disease after they switch to a gluten-free diet. The high acellular carb content of gluten-free replacement foods may explain this relationship. While increases in BMI on a gluten-free diet may be due to a compensatory increase in nutrient absorption facilitated by the removal of gluten, it may also reflect increased body fat caused by the consumption of starchy gluten-free replacement foods. (9)
To complicate matters further, it is equally possible that a gluten-free diet may help prevent diabetes and metabolic dysfunction by improving leptin resistance, improving insulin resistance, and increasing beta-cell volume, as suggested by research. When it comes to gluten-free diets, the devil is in the details; while a nutrient-dense gluten-free diet centered around whole foods can be health-promoting, a processed gluten-free diet may be detrimental to long-term health. (10)
2. Mycotoxins Can Be Found in Gluten-Free Diets
As I discussed in my article “Food for Mold Illness: What to Eat and What to Avoid,” grains are common dietary sources of mold and mycotoxins, secondary metabolites of mold that have harmful effects on human health. Corn is one of the most mycotoxin-contaminated foods in the human food supply, and a corn-based diet significantly increases mycotoxin exposure. (11) Heavy consumption of corn-based gluten-free foods may substantially increase your exposure to mycotoxins, with harmful health repercussions.
The breast milk of mothers with celiac disease is higher in mycotoxins than that of breastfeeding mothers without celiac disease; exposure of infants to mycotoxins in breastmilk is concerning, given the fact that many mycotoxins have genotoxic, endocrine-disrupting, and immunosuppressive effects. If breastfeeding women with celiac disease rely heavily on processed gluten-free foods in their diets, they may inadvertently expose their babies to high levels of harmful mycotoxins. (12)
If you’re feeling discouraged, please don’t! While corn is the most highly mycotoxin-contaminated grain, rice is the least, and it is also gluten-free. I simply recommend that, if you want to make rice a part of your gluten-free diet, you eat whole-grain rice rather than gluten-free foods made with rice flour, which is high in acellular carbs.
3. Gluten-Free Diets May Contain Heavy Metals
Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic are abundant in our environment due to industrial pollution. Unfortunately, these metals also end up in our food supply, accumulating more readily in some foods than others. One study published in the NFS Journal suggests that the consumption of gluten-free foods increases the risk of arsenic and mercury exposure because rice, a central component of gluten-free diets, readily absorbs arsenic and mercury from the soil. (13) Another study found that blood levels of lead, mercury, and cadmium are higher in people on gluten-free diets than gluten-containing diets, even after controlling for seafood intake. This finding suggests dietary items besides seafood contribute to the heavy metal body burden in gluten-free dieters. (14)
4. Gluten-Free Diets Can Be Nutrient-Poor
The nutritional status of individuals with celiac disease is already compromised at diagnosis, and affected individuals may suffer from low levels of: (15, 16, 17)
Shockingly, micronutrient insufficiencies and deficiencies have been found to persist for 10 years after the implementation of a gluten-free diet if concerted steps are not taken to enhance the nutrient density of the diet! (18)
A diet high in processed, gluten-free replacement foods is frequently nutrient-poor, and thus insufficient for correcting these deficiencies. While detractors argue that the lack of fortified whole grains is to blame for nutrient deficiencies in people on gluten-free diets, this argument is beside the point. There are many foods naturally free of gluten that people can eat to correct nutrient deficiencies—no fortified whole grains required. As I will discuss shortly, whole, nutrient-dense foods should form the foundation of a gluten-free diet.
5. Processed Gluten-Free Diets May Disrupt the Gut Microbiome
According to surveys, wheat constitutes one of the primary sources of prebiotics in the average standard American diet. (19) Removing wheat from the menu, without replacing it with gluten-free food sources of prebiotics, may starve beneficial gut bacteria and explain the adverse changes in the gut microbiota observed in some people on gluten-free diets, including decreases in Lactobacilli and increases in Enterobacter. (20) Gluten-free foods made with acellular carbs may also promote the growth of inflammatory gut bacteria. (21) While it is difficult to parse out cause and effect when it comes to gluten-free diets and the microbiota, I think we can all agree that a diet low in prebiotics is suboptimal for gut health.
Gums and emulsifiers are commonly used in gluten-free processed foods to mimic the functional and sensory attributes of gluten and to inhibit staling. (22, 23) However, several of these gums and emulsifiers have been found to disrupt the gut microbiota, inflame the gastrointestinal mucosa, and may hurt metabolic health. (24) This is just one more reason to eschew processed gluten-free foods, and opt for whole, nutrient-dense foods instead.
6. Gluten-Free Diets May Be Difficult to Adhere to
Last but not least, many people have trouble adhering to a gluten-free diet. Approximately 40 percent of children with celiac disease experience ongoing gluten exposure, even after commencing a gluten-free diet. (25) Compliance with a gluten-free diet also varies widely in adults with celiac disease. (26) I believe that viewing a gluten-free diet less as just the elimination of gluten, and more as a nutritional overhaul centered around whole foods, may improve adherence by inducing a shift in values and motivations for eating. When people requiring a gluten-free diet are shown all the delicious, naturally gluten-free foods they can eat, rather than directed toward a bunch of processed gluten-free alternatives, their enthusiasm for sticking with the diet may be enhanced. For people who must be on a strict gluten-free diet for health reasons, a nutritionist and a health coach can be invaluable assets for improving dietary compliance.
As part of a collaborative care team that includes practitioners, nutritionists, and other allied providers, health coaches serve a vital role in supporting people who are trying to achieve better health. Health coaches are experts in change, and use their knowledge of human behavior, motivation, and health to provide clients with the support and empowerment they need to reach their goals.
Health coaches make a difference every day—and they make a living while doing it. If you want to find out more about this fulfilling career path, visit us at the ADAPT Health Coach Training Program.
Clearly, gluten-free diets centered around a bunch of processed replacement foods are not ideal for healing or long-term health. Interestingly, scientists have caught on to this issue, and several studies have been conducted to examine the effects of “the Gluten Contamination Elimination Diet (GCED)” on health, rather than the more conventional gluten-free diet.
The GCED focuses on the use of naturally gluten-free products rather than processed gluten-free food. It has been found useful for improving health in people with non-responsive celiac disease who did not have success with a standard gluten-free diet. (27) While this approach has been reserved for stubborn cases of celiac disease in the scientific literature, I think it is an ideal approach for anyone who needs to be gluten-free.
Take a cue from the GCED and build your gluten-free diet out of whole, nutrient-dense foods. Get your carbohydrates from naturally gluten-free foods, such as:
If you tolerate gluten-free grains and legumes, incorporate these in their whole-foods form, rather than as components of processed gluten-free foods.
Eat at least three to four servings of non-starchy vegetables per day, such as broccoli and cauliflower, and make sure you are getting enough bioavailable protein to support your activity level and metabolic health. Animal proteins are the best dietary source of iron and vitamin B12, micronutrients that are frequently deficient in individuals with celiac disease.
Finally, include plenty of healthy fats in your diet from:
Full-fat dairy, if tolerated
Foods for Gut Healing on a Gluten-Free Diet
Make sure to include plenty of probiotics and prebiotics (foods that fuel the growth of probiotic bacteria) in your diet to counteract alterations in the gut microbiota induced by celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. Fermented foods rich in Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria, such as sauerkraut and yogurt, may aid in gut healing in celiac disease and NCGS, and prebiotic fibers may enhance micronutrient absorption, helping to correct nutrient deficiencies. (28, 29, 30) Excellent gluten-free sources of prebiotics are:
Green plantain and banana flour
Enjoy Gluten-Free Replacements as Treats, Rather Than Dietary Staples
Please note that while a whole-foods, nutrient-dense diet is the ideal template for those who need to avoid gluten, this doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy gluten-free bread, cookies, or other goodies now and then! I simply believe these items should be viewed as treats, rather than staples of your diet. If you have NCGS, as opposed to celiac disease, you may also be able to include gluten-containing treats in your diet every now and then, particularly once your gut has healed.
The good news is that when you center your gluten-free diet around whole foods rather than gluten-free replacements, your diet will be more nutritious and more affordable. Research shows that the cost of going gluten-free is high if you are trying to replace all your gluten-containing favorites with processed alternatives. By shopping the perimeter of your grocery stores and choosing whole, unprocessed foods that are naturally devoid of gluten, you can eat a diet that is healthier and more affordable. (31, 32, 33)
A gluten-free diet can have transformative effects on health, yet too many people are following a sub-optimal version of the diet, relying heavily on processed gluten-free foods. A diet comprised of whole, nutrient-dense, naturally gluten-free foods offers the perfect solution to the problems posed by a conventional gluten-free diet.

Many years have passed and change has come. This morning I woke up to blood splattered all over my bathroom floor, thanks to my daughter’s nose bleeds in the night. I wondered if something had happened I had forgotten and then sleepily, I went to get a cloth, filled the sink with hot, soapy water and on my hands and knees began to scrub it clean.
Within minutes, my son, accidently tipped over a full box of Cheerios and 1/2 the box went all over the floor. I grabbed the brush and dustpan and told him to be careful next time. In minutes I had it all cleaned up and got dressed to drive them to school.
After arriving home, the gutters overflowed with torrential rain, and I got the ladder, climbed it and steadied myself as I cleared the gutters of pine needles, leaves and debris and got soaked in the process. It was actually kind of fun to let the waters flow free. I felt like a duck in a very small pond watching the water rush toward the gutter that fills our cistern and gives us the water for our house.
So how do I feel? Lucky. That’s it. Very lucky to have written and published this book and so very excited to share it with the world. Hold on tight because the train is leaving and these kids are going on an incredible adventure to Petra, Jordan. Wonder of all wonders. Have you got your ticket?

Next Post And so it begins!Bianca Maxwell (@biancamaxwell) is a world-traveler and a young black woman in tech who splits her time between managing global digital projects for brands and traveling around the world. She captures her adventures on her travel and lifestyle blog, BMadeWell.com.
Bianca: I love Morocco, Peru and Colombia. I have had the most fun in all of these countries, either as a solo traveler or with friends.
Morocco is my favorite place in the world I was warned not to go alone, but I went anyway and felt the most taken care of and the safest I have in any other country. I highly suggest if you ever travel there stay in a Riad and not a hotel. The food is more authentic, the rooms are more beautiful and they are all in the Old Medina which is where all your favorite Marrakech pictures are taken. For activities take a cooking class, trek Atlas Mountain, go on a Sahara overnight trip and do a hot-air-balloon ride for sunrise.
Peru is making the list because I just finished 10 days traveling throughout the country. There is a rich history of the Incas, color in everything they do and the food is fantastic and properly seasoned. You must go to Lima for Barranco, Cusco for Rainbow Mountain, Urubamba for Moray and Salineros, Aguas Calientes for Machu Picchu, and Puno for Lake Titicaca. Also, be ready to spend a lot of money if you are into interior decorating. I arrived with a carryon and am returning home with two enormous duffles full of textiles and alpaca blankets.
Bianca: Traveling both humbled me and made me want to take more risks.
Traveling is a humbling experience because not everyone you know can, or will want to, travel. My grandmother has the URL to my Instagram account bookmarked on her computer. It’s her way of following me around the world. I try to keep everything as descriptive as possible for her because I’m seeing a lot of things she may not have the chance to enjoy.
I knew right then and there, that traveling was going to be a huge part of my life…and that I needed to live in Africa at some point.
Bianca: Sunscreen. Premature Aging is not on my bucket-list.
Bianca: Do your research before you arrive in a country. I do this a lot as a black woman traveling alone. It’s helpful to know if any area has an issue with petty theft, harassment, known racism or isn’t progressive with women’s rights.
Be polite, but be clear. When issues arise while traveling – a bill being incorrect, a room not properly booked, food not being how you like – be polite, but be cl

According to community feedback, the present values are still functioning to a great extent, but at the same time, it was felt that they need to be condensed and the aspect of community should be included. Cooperation was highlighted as a new value, alongside courage and responsibility. The theme of sustainable development was also strongly highlighted in the community discussions, and included in the university’s purpose.
‘The cornerstones of our university – values, purpose and way of working – are a central part of our future strategy, and they provide us with a common direction for the upcoming years. W work, now that these parts have been outlined: thanks to everyone for your active participation! The cornerstones can now be passed on to the board for further discussion in June’, says President Ilkka Niemelä.
We have reached an important milestone now that our cornerstones - values, purpose and way of working - have been outlined.
In connection with analysing the operating environment, we have recognised the most central strategic questions that also challenge Aalto to change. Some of these questions have already been discussed, for instance, at earlier community events.
This time, the vice presidents and provost shed light on the need for renewal from the perspective of three theme areas: people and community, research and multidisciplinarity, and creative practices. The participants had an opportunity to take a stand on these questions at the strategy bazaars and in the strategy portal. The students, in turn, highlighted the importance of well-being. ‘The well-being and success of students are reflected on the university funding, and they build the university’s reputation’, says Lumi Ketola, member of the AYY Board.

I am new to the rebuilding credit market. My wife and I filed chapter 7 in Nov of 07, we recently talked to a mortgage guy and he said that the USDA program was the way to go, as long as your score is above 620. Currently my score is 642. But he said mortgage pulls of credit is upto 50 pts lower, and USDA doesnt count a bankruptcy or foreclosure if your score is above the target mark of 620, does anyone know what will be my course of action?
i have 3 accounts open, one credit card 600 of 1500 available, student loan of 10000 never late(110 month), and car loan of 21000 of 24000 (520 month). all bills are current and never late since chapter 7.

Yes, USDA is the most BK friendly program out there. You need to have at least 620 and 660 will make it smoother going. They are very strict with DTI ratios if you have a BK in your history, but if you have reestablished credit with a perfect history after the BK they will give you a loan without making you a full 2 or 3 years.

BrotherRonaldo’s Bentley Flying Spur model and the familiar Range Rover were driven by a private driver to the gas station, waiting for nearly 7 hours but could not refuel.
The Portuguese star’s drivers were caught waiting for seven hours at a gas station in Wilmslow, Cheshire. Witnesses said that the super luxury sedan appeared at about 14:20 on September 29. But at 9pm, the driver realized that the tank truck didn’t come and left with empty hands.
However, the fact that the super-luxury model is not refueled does not seem to affect Ronaldo. On the morning of September 30, he was caught driving the Lamborghini Urus super SUV to the training ground.
On the same day of September 29, one-time Man Utd star, Paul Scholes, was also caught pouring gasoline into his car from a can. The former Man Utd captain’s Mercedes stopped by the side of the road, and his 20-year-old daughter was filming a video of her father refueling.
The fuel crisis in the UK has not yet come to an end, although there are signs of cooling down. The thirst for petrol has led many drivers to become violent, with scuffles occurring at refueling stations. The lack of fuel for internal combustion engine vehicles is also a motivation for many people to think of electric cars.

It is difficult for a single-feature tracking algorithm to achieve strong robustness under a complex environment. To solve this problem, we proposed a multifeature fusion tracking algorithm that is based on game theory. By focusing on color and texture features as two gamers, this algorithm accomplishes tracking by using a mean shift iterative formulacontribution of different features is always keeping the state of optical balance, so that the algorithm can fully take advantage of feature fusion. According to the experiment results, this algorithm proves to possess good performance, especially under the condition of scene variation, target occlusion, and similar interference.

We have to agree that this is a very tough time for all of us globally because of the pandemic. The business of every sector reached the bottom because of the fallouts of the COVID-19. The garment supply chain has also been disrupted and every day the downtrend of the apparel business has been becoming headlines in global media over the last one and half years.
The business will not grow now as it was in normal time. However, we will have to mind that those risks can also bring opportunities for the business.
Figure: Exploring new markets with existing older ones and exploring new products are very important for this tough time.
However, we will have to look into the opportunities. In such a critical time, in two ways the apparel business can be benefited. For instance, eFor instance, some of the strong new export destinations might be in the Asian region and Australia as the economies of the Asian countries are relatively performing stronger than the traditional markets like Europe, USA and Canadian ones.
Of the total garment export, more than 64 percent are destined to Europe, 23 percent in the USA and nearly 7 percent to Canada in a year from Bangladesh. However, over the years, some Asian nations like Japan, India and China have been becoming major export destinations for Bangladesh because of the robustness of the economies of those countries.
In FY2008-09, the share of non-traditional markets in our export was 6.87 percent with the export value of US$ 848.87 million, which has reached 17.10 percent with a value of US$ 4.9 billion in FY 2019- 20.
Government’s 4 percent incentive for emerging markets has also played a vital role in higher shipment to emerging markets. Exploring new markets Usually, Bangladesh considers, Europe, the USA and Canada as traditional markets and the rest of the destinations are considered as non-traditional or emerging countries.
Of all the emerging countries, India, China and Japan have been showing very prospectus for garment shipments for Bangladesh because of the resilience of the economies of those countries. Even during the crisis time of COVID-19, those export destinations have been showing promises.
For instance, Japan is the first country among the Asian nations where the garment shipment from Bangladesh reached more than $1billion mark and also export of garment items to India is nearly $1billion mark now.
It is expected that garment export from Bangladesh to China, the largest supplier of apparel globally, has been showing very promising due to good demand for Bangladeshi-made garment items.
Bangladesh needs to expand the production capacity in the mills and factories to grab the shifted work orders from China. A lot of work orders are shifting from China because of the China-US tariff war and higher cost of production in China.
The export of Bangladeshi-made garment items to three Asian markets has been increasing mainly due to rising middle[1]income people in those countries and for trade privilege for the country as a Least Developed Country (LDC).
For instance, both in India and China, the rising middle-income people of whom most are office-going executive like to have Bangladeshi goods at affordable prices as they cannot afford the expensive high-end garment items.
At the same time, Bangladesh has been enjoying zero-duty benefit on export of garment items to all three countries both for woven and knitwear items as an LDC. So, riding in the trade privilege, garment export to those countries has been increasing significantly every year.
Figure: Bangladesh needs to focus more on emerging markets along with the existing markets.
Even during the pandemic time when the export to the traditional markets has been facing difficulties, Bangladesh should focus more on those emerging markets to keep afloat of the business.
Because, the Asian economies are booming and it is believed that by 2030, nearly 50 percent of GDP would be generated from Asian nations because of strong economic performances by India, China and Japan which have a strong consumer base.
With a strong economic footing, Japan is a market of nearly US$45billion retail garment business, India is US $50billion worth retail garment market, China’s domestic clothing retail market is nearly US $300 billion and the Australian market is also nearly US $40billion retail clothing markets.
So, this is a great opportunity for Bangladesh to focus more on those markets to grab more market share in the time of COVID-19 which has severely affected the global apparel supply chain.
Even during the pandemic time, the garment export to some emerging markets has been holding promises.
Bangladesh exported garment items worth US$329.96million in fiscal 2019-20 registering a 34.86 percent fall over the earnings worth US$506.51million in fiscal 2018-19, the EPB data also said. In fiscal 2017-18, Bangladesh exported garment items worth US$391.01million to China.
For instance, in fiscal 2019-20, garment export to India was US$0.42 billion which was US$ 0.49 billion in the fiscal 2018- 19 and US$0.28 billion in fiscal 2017-18, according to data from Export Promotion Bureau (EPB, in the Indian market, it is noticed that the garment shipment has been performing even the pandemic time compared with the pre-pandemic time.
However, the shipment growth could not be maintained in fiscal 2019-20 because of the fallouts of the COVID-19 which has affected the garment shipments to all the markets globally.
Garment shipment to India declined 15.70 percent in fiscal 2019-20 compared with the earning from the previous fiscal year because of the pandemic. In the case of Japan, in the fiscal 2019-20, Bangladesh exported garment items worth US$0.96 billion registering only 11.80 negative growth from US$1.09 billion in the fiscal 2018-19, the data also said. In the0.84 billion to Japan.
Another promising market for Bangladesh is Australia, where Bangladesh needs to focus more on the time of pandemic because of its potential. I60 billion to Australia registering a 16.48 percent year on year fall from US$0.71 billion in the fiscal 2018-19. In the fiscal 2017- 18, Bangladesh exported garment items worth US$0.63 billion to Australia.
In three traditional markets $17.14billion to the EU markets registering 18.87 percent year on year fall, in the USA US$5.14 billion registering 16.09 percent year on year fall and in Canada US$0.87 billion registering 25.70 percent year on year fall, the data also said.
So, it is noticed that Bangladesh needs to focus more on the emerging markets in the time of pandemic along with the existing markets of the EU, USA and Canada. Product diversification Not only, the market diversification is important, but also Bangladeshthe time of COVID-19.
Bangladesh is mainly strong in cotton fiber-made garment items, which is more than 80 percent now of the total garment shipment from the country in a year. Bangladesh needs to expand products like man-made fiber[1]made garment items because of higher demand and higher prices of those items globally. The unit price of man-made fiber garment items is also very high worldwide.
Moreover, Bangladesh needs to focus more on knitwear items because the demand for knitted garment items has been increasing because of the long stay of people at home during the pandemic time. The pandemic-related garment items should also be produced in bulk quantity because of higher demand. For instance,d sheets, masks and towels’ demand has been growing worldwide in the time of COVID-19.
Faruque Hassan, president of BGMEA said the shipments from Bangladesh to the US markets are rebounding because of the reopening of their stores and the Biden Administration’s stimulus pay cheques to the people. Asian markets like Japan and China are expected to be rebounded soon as they are back in business. However, India is a major concern as the spike of COVID-19 is increasing in India every day.
So, the rebound of shipments to Indian markets may take more time. Otherwise, in general, the export may rebound soon because of the reopening of stores and economies, Hassan also said.

Bravo, remarkable idea </s> I make no apologies for the setup shown in the photograph.
That’s my “Big Beige Box”, used to be my main system, now serves me as a printer server and more importantly, plays music 24/7. The music is piped through the Noresco Quadraphonic amplifier and thence to most rooms in my home.
Over the past few days, some sort of virus has hit the BBB and not until this morning did I track it down.
I don’t do any web browsing or email on the BBB; it just plays music through WinAmp, so I’ve been in a mild state of shock when the WinAmp program emits “Fur Elise” repeatedly.
I switch to the BBB and shut down WinAmp, thinking it has a bug of some sort, but “Fur Elise” continues as strident as ever.
In desperation I shut down the BBB with the reset button on the front panel. Axed it dead. No Power. Powerless.

On what could have been a historical upset, No. 1 Kansas beat No. 16 Penn 76-60. Penn was statically the best No. 16 in history, and had one of the best shots atd. History was not on their side, but the Ivy League champs were nonetheless determined to defy it.
Within the first half of the game, both Penn and Kansas made runs and fought hard. Penn led 19-11 with 8:32 to go until the Jayhawks went on a 22-5 run in the last seven minutes. At this point in the game, Devonte' Graham of Kansas had 19 points.
The second half was not as intense, as while Kansas and Penn continued to battle it out for a spot this weekend, Penn was starting to lose gas. A 3-pointer by Caleb Wood drew Penn just 4 points away, but Kansas closed it out. The Quakers gave them a true battle, but Kansas pulled away with the win. Graham led all players across the board with a total of 29 points.

Hypocrisy might be a strong word, but that’s exactly what it is. Republicans have trumpeted the virtue of fiscal responsibility all the while spending our tax dollars like drunken sailors on shore leave.
The deficit can be summed up in two parts: war and tax policy. That is it.
The amount we spend on tax expenditures – these government “give backs” – is so large, it is as stupendously difficult to comprehend as it is to comprehend why Mitt Romney has instead chosen to single out Sesame Street for cost-cutting measures. PBS will receive $445 million in Federal government money this year, or about 0.002% worth of all US national debt. Perhaps Mitt Romney should be a regular viewer of Sesame Street as he might learn some basic math skills by watching.

Offshore Installation Services Ltd (OIS), an Acteon company, has named Colin Shellard as its new managing director. Based in Aberdeen, Shellard is responsible for setting the strategy at OIS, as the company continues to focus on new opportunities in the offshore decommissioning sector. He will also play a key role in developing opportunities for OIS to work together with other Acteon companies.
Shellard has more than 16 years of experience in offshore construction and subsea engineering. He joined OIS as vice president, operations, in December 2014, and was instrumental in leading OIS’ recent successful well decommissioning campaign with Centrica Energy and Antrim Energy. Prior to joining OIS, Shellard was project director at Technip Offshore Wind Ltd, where he oversaw all projects and tenders in the company’s cables and marine renewables sector.
Shellard has extensive knowledge of pipe and umbilical lay, diving operations, structures installation, remote (driverless) construction and decommissioning methods and trenching, gained during his time at Stolt Offshore and Saipem. He has also worked in leadership roles within consulting engineering and project management firms JP Kenny and Prospect, developing a deep understanding of the management of small teams and complex problems that face Operators in the offshore industry.
Mark Towell, vice president, Acteon, said, “OIS recently completed its largest vessel-based, multi-operator well decommissioning campaign and is well-positioned to provide North Sea Operators with the most cost-effective way to decommission non-revenue generating assets beyond 2015. The Acteon management team welcomes Colin as a director of OIS, and we are confident he will build on his achievements to date.”
Shellard said, “Well decommissioning activities are ideally suited to multi-operator campaigns and the multi-well approach, and OIS demonstrates that significant economies of scale are available to Operators willing to participate in this way. I am looking forward to leading the continual growth of OIS and developing new opportunities for the company in the global decommissioning sector.”

David was shy because he was coming to a new job, but there was a confidence and he was a hard worker. If you told him to mop the floor, he'd mop it; clean the toilets, he'd clean them. I told him he always had to do his best because the Kentucky Fried Chicken Mystery Shopper could come at any time. You have to be polite and smile to everyone, even some of the rough customers.
He took his job seriously, but he didn't seem a particularly serious person. He was always smiling. I knew he'd do well in life, but I never thought he'd be a politician. It was unheard of for a young black boy from Tottenham to go into politics.
He had great potential. You could see he wanted to do something. I think this was because he didn't have a dad. That drove him. It wasn't something he talked about, but I knew his mum and she told me David wanted to make her proud.
I've always voted for David, but then again I've always voted Labour. I don't know what I would have done if he'd joined the Tory party. That would have been a tough one.
