Who’s in Control: The Human Host or the Microbiome?
Yes, I know; the idea that we’re not in control of our own body seems like it could be taken right out of a science fiction movie, and the “quack alarm” is probably ringing in many people’s heads when they hear that microorganisms could manipulate our mind. However, for those who’ve been keeping up with the research on the human microbiome, the idea that bacteria are in many ways the masters, while the human host is the puppet, probably doesn’t seem so far-fetched.
As you know if you’ve been reading my posts on this blog or the dozens of articles I’ve published for other sites such as BretContreras.com, PaleoMagOnline.com, and ThePTDC.com, my writing usually revolves around the following themes: Exercise, nutrition, ancestral health, and bacteria. For many, it might seem strange to write a lot about microbiology on a health & fitness site. To explain this focus on these microscopic organisms that dominate our planet, let me turn the clock back a couple of years.
When I first started getting interested in nutrition, I, like so many others before me, spent years clinging on to nutritional dogma. It seemed like everywhere I went for advice and information about diet and food, I received the same message: Saturated fat clogs your arteries, whole grains are the foundation of a healthy diet, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, avoiding unhealthy foods is “just” about self-discipline, etc. I thought I was doing everything right, but as I now look back, I clearly realise that I was doing pretty much everything wrong. After years of poor results from sticking to conventional health wisdom, I finally started to open my eyes, and I quickly realised that high quality information on health & fitness is definitely out there – I had just been looking in the wrong place.
Conventional nutritional wisdom was – and to a certain degree still is – so ingrained among the general public that it took some time before I realised that there are a whole bunch of intelligent researchers/scientists, bloggers, trainers, etc. out there that have a completely different perspective on things. I began to understand that evolutionary biology and ancestral health principles provide the foundation that is needed to achieve good health, and after digging into the scientific literature on my own, I discovered that many – if not most – or the conventional beliefs people hold about nutrition and health actually aren’t supported by the best science. I had started looking at fitness from an evolutionary perspective, and I realised that up until that time, I had been grasping in the dark.
Why so many people report symptoms of “food sensitivity/intolerance”, even when adopting a paleo-type diet.
Why the prevalence rates of gastrointestinal disorders such as IBS, IBD, and celiac disease have skyrocketed over the last several decades.
How humans are able to adapt so “rapidly” to new diets/foods.
Where the low-grade chronic inflammation that characterizes conditions such as obesity, acne vulgaris, type-2 diabetes, and colorectal cancer stems from.
Why some people find it almost impossible to stay away from processed foods such as doughnuts, cake, and pizza, while others have no problem sticking to a nutritious, whole foods diet.
Why healthy eating, adequate sun exposure, regular exercise, and good sleep often aren’t enough to achieve good health.
Why mental disorders such as ADHD and autism have become increasingly more prevalent.
Why some health disorders run in families. There’s clearly a genetic (human genes) explanation for this inheritance, but in my mind this could only be part of the picture.
Finally, about 6 years ago, I slowly started to put the pieces together, and I realised that I had ignored large parts of the puzzle. What I found is that to really understand how to be healthy and fit, simply looking at the human being as a singular organism doesn’t get us very far. To really be able to make sense of health & fitness, we have to also include the organisms that have co-evolved with us for millions of years.
In retrospect I’ll say that it wasn’t really a surprise that it took me that long to discover what is now widely known as the human microbiome. Back in 2008-2009, few people paid any attention to the microorganisms that live in and on the human body, doctors who talked about candida overgrowth and leaky gut were labelled as quacks, and when bacteria were discussed in the context of human disease, it was usually as pathogens that needed to be wiped out.
In the years that have passed, a lot has changed. The human microbiome has made its way out of the research journals and into blogs and newspapers, new books, such as the recently published Missing Microbes, are devoted to the ecosystem that is our body, and the human microbiome market (e.g., probiotics, drugs, prebiotics) has grown substantially and is estimated to be worth $658 Million by 2023. We’ve learned that 99% of the unique genetic material in the human body is microbial and that the state of this microbiome largely determines whether we’re healthy or sick.
When it comes to nutrition, microbes provide the “missing” component that can help answer many of the questions I was pondering over several years back. While the human host is only able to break down some of the food ingredients we eat (e.g., starch, simple sugars), the gut microbiome can adapt to break down a wide range of food ingredients. It therefore doesn’t come as a surprise that lack of microbial diversity (“western gut”) results in food intolerance/sensitivity. Recent studies also show that it’s not just the more “obscure” food sensitivities that are largely driven by microbial disturbances, but also conditions such as peanut allergy and celiac disease. And our digestive function is far from the only thing that is affected by bacteria. More than 70% of our immune system is located in and around the gastrointestinal tract, and perturbations of the gut microbiota will have systemic effects throughout the body.
Although gut bacteria have received the most attention, more and more research is also coming out on the microbiome of the skin, lungs, mouth, and the rest of the human body. So, you can probably see why the human microbiome is such as recurrent theme on this site.
The gut microbiota of a healthy person may not be equivalent to a healthy microbiota. It is possible that the Western microbiota is actually dysbiotic and predisposes individuals to a variety of diseases. The asymmetric plasticity between the relatively stable human genome and the more malleable gut microbiome suggests that incompatibilities between the two could rapidly arise. The Western lifestyle, which includes a diet low in microbiota-accessible carbohydrates (MACs), has selected for a microbiota with altered membership and functionality compared to those of groups living traditional lifestyles. Interactions between resident microbes and host leading to immune dysregulation may explain several diseases that share inflammation as a common basis.
Basically, what the quote says is that the western lifestyle, with an emphasis on the refined, western diet low in microbiota-accessible carbohydrates, selects for a unhealthy microbiota. We’re neglecting our microbial residents.
Okay, I think that was an important introduction to the key point of today’s article, as jumping right in with the microbe-brain connection can seem a bit science-fictiony if you’re not aware of the massive impact these critters have on our general health.
Craving chocolate? Your gut microbes are partly to blame.
One of the most interesting developments that has occurred over the last couple of years has to do with the influence bacteria have on our brain. While most people now get that microorganisms have a major impact on our skin health, digestive function, and immune system, the idea that microbes exert influence over our minds still seems far-fetched to many. However, the fact is that there are now hundreds of scientific papers out there that focuses on the ways bacteria affect our mood, behaviour, and thoughts.
I can count on my fingers the number of times I’ve read something that is so perfect and thought-provoking that it leaves a lasting impression on me. Those few selected books, articles, and papers that make up this hall of fame have provided evidence for my existing ideas and hypotheses, opened me up to new and exciting concepts, and shaped my outlook on health & fitness. Recently, a lot of media attention was given to a new review paper that focused on the role gut bacteria play in determining our dietary preferences. I posted a link to one of these articles in the mainstream media on my facebook page a while back, but it wasn’t until yesterday that I really took the time to dig into the actual full text review paper. I quickly realised that this article is one of those few groundbreaking reads you don’t come across very often. Unlike many other papers on the topic, these authors don’t just discuss a couple of ways bacteria could influence our mind; instead they take a look at the broader picture, include the evolutionary perspective, and produce hypotheses that are consistent with “everything” we know about cravings, food preferences, and obesity.
Why are we in the midst of an obesity epidemic? Why do so many people essentially become addicted to processed foods such as pastries, potato chips, and chocolate? Why do people who switch to a “healthy diet” often report that their cravings for foods rich in refined fat, sugar, and refined grains slowly disappear?
The struggle to resist cravings for foods that are high in sugar and fat is part of daily life for many people. Unhealthy eating is a major contributor to health problems including obesity  as well as sleep apnea, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer [2-4]. Despite negative effects on health and survival, unhealthy eating patterns are often difficult to change. The resistance to change is frequently framed as a matter of “self-control,” and it has been suggested that multiple “selves” or cognitive modules exist  each vying for control over our eating behavior. Here, we suggest another possibility: that evolutionary conflict between host and microbes in the gut leads microbes to divergent interests over host eating behavior. Gut microbes may manipulate host eating behavior in ways that promote their fitness at the expense of host fitness. Others have hypothesized that microbes may be affecting our eating behavior [6-8], though not in the context of competing fitness interests and evolutionary conflict.
Conventional wisdom often blames unhealthy eating on a lack of willpower. However, binge eating is not just a matter of mental control ; food cravings are unlike other cravings. Many other addictions, such as drugs and alcohol, require ever-increasing doses to maintain the same mood-altering effect. This habituation does not happen with food. For some individuals, the more they indulge their food cravings, the more enjoyment they get from them . These results, and recent work showing distinct mechanisms of food-reward and morphine sensitization in mice suggest that overeating has a different underlying mechanism from drug abuse, and is not consistent with an addiction .
Modern biology suggests that our bodies are composed of a diversity of organisms competing for nutritional resources. Evolutionary conflict between the host and microbiota may lead to cravings and cognitive conflict with regard to food choice. Exerting self-control over eating choices may be partly a matter of suppressing microbial signals that originate in the gut. Acquired tastes may be due to the acquisition of microbes that benefit from those foods. Our review suggests that one way to change eating behavior is by intervening in our microbiota.
Competition between genomes is likely to produce a variety of conflicts, and we propose that one important area, impacting human health, is in host eating behavior and nutrient acquisition. Genetic conflict between host and microbiota – selecting for microbes that manipulate host eating behavior – adds a new dimension to current viewpoints, e.g. host-microbiota mutualism , that can explain mechanisms involved in obesity and related diseases.
Food for thought: How much influence do bacteria have over us? Are humans simply elaborate vessels for the propagation of microbes (Quote Justin L. Sonnenburg, PhD. Department of Microbiology and Immunology Stanford University)?
We’ve moved from an ancestral state of mutualistic symbiosis to a modern state of dysbiosis. Also, recent research suggests that we’ve entered into a vicious cycle where a western lifestyle perturbs the microbiome, which in turn promotes more unhealthy behaviour. On a positive note, the microbiome can be manipulated so that we achieve a new state where the types of behaviours that promote the fitness of the microbiota are more aligned with the types of behaviours that promote the fitness of the human host. Let’s finish by answering the question in the title: Who’s in control, the human host or the microbiome? I think the answer to this question is pretty clear; both are. We can manipulate the microbiome, and microbes can exert control over us.
I would like to thank you very much for your excellent work and advice.. Human hubris has us believe that we are intelligent and considers everything far less intelligent than we are. And when we get down to the level of cells, we essentially don’t consider them as possibly having intelligence. We think of ourselves as a singular entity, but the reality is that we are an interactive community of 100 trillion individual cells. It is their technology and their intelligence that created us. The reflection of their intelligence is in their technology—they can manage their environment and manage their world with technologies that we haven’t even comprehended yet. For millions of years, their social activities have made possible the evolution of all life forms on this planet. In fact, we are struggling on this planet with how to form a cooperative world with only about 7 billion people. Within us there has been a cooperative world of about 100 trillion citizens that have created a philosophy and politics of life that has enabled them to live and thrive over a million years. And what is unique about these cellular civilizations is that they can live in total bliss, which is reflected in the health and vitality that we experience..
I feel smarter and more well informed after reading this. Your stuff is top shelf and opens my mind. Thanks.
Well done as usual. I think too many people confuse cravings with true hunger. I doubt too many experience that any more.
Well, how do you manipulate the microbiome?

The global risk landscape is shifting. Ten years ago, the most critical risks were related to the global financial crisis and the economic challenges created for governments, businesses and individuals. While many economies are now enjoying solid growth, there continues to be significant risk in the current environment stemming from increasing geopolitical tensions, growing environmental threats and the wider deployment of emerging technologies. As global risks evolve, family offices, family members, and their related enterprises should be bold in reframing how they approach risk management.
Cyber risk is the top risk for family offices as well as business leaders in advanced economies. Juniper Research estimates that cyber attacks will create $8 trillion in economic damage over the next five years. Cyber is also the risk most likely to intensify, and the one for which family offices feel the least prepared.
Environmental risk was identified as the top long-term risk for businesses and a close second (behind cyber) for family offices. Recent extreme weather events, growing concerns about pollution and biodiversity, and scrutiny from investors, customers, and family members have elevated this risk in the minds of both corporate and family office leaders.
Business leaders expect growing political and economic confrontation between major world powers. Many countries are escalating their use of economic weapons – such as sanctions and tariffs – in political negotiations. Coupled with rising nationalism and increasing societal polarization, this is creating the potential for surges in social instability and disruptive events.
Although feelings about the economy are generally positive, vulnerabilities exist. The total global debt-to-GDP ratio is significantly higher now than it was before the 2008 financial crisis, and corporate debt-to-equity ratios have doubled since 2010. The rapid change in the environment is reflected in the fact that the average time a company spends on the S&P 500 index has dwindled from 61 years in 1958 to 12 years today.
These trends demonstrate the challenges in navigating the current environment. New risks and new opportunities exist for family offices as well as family enterprises.
Devote more resources to emerging risks and technology.
Focus comprehensively on risk prevention, risk transfer, and risk response.
Engage key stakeholders from across the family and the enterprise.
As families and family enterprises seek to take advantage of new opportunities, their risk profiles will change. Scenario modeling can help anticipate the losses that are most likely and enable planning in the event they occur.
Finally, emerging technology is starting to enable real-time risk management, offering the potential to both reduce risk and transfer it more effectively. Telematics in cars, smart homes, wearable devices, and other new technologies can help minimize accidents and reduce the potential for losses.
Engaging risk experts and leveraging the advancements that are available now will help ensure your organization is prepared to mitigate significant risks and support the growth of your investments.

Confusion on how to use "sources" and "destinations"
I’m just starting to use the api, and I’m trying to get the distances and durations between multiple sources and a single destination.
I am first testing through the api playground.
I have a list of (4) locations.
I want the first location to be the destination, the other ones are the sources (so all is fine).
Am I interpreting the instructions incorrectly?
Thanks. When I change the profile to driving-hgv, I only get a single response, only the destination itself, not the other locations. Thanks for looking into it.

Are you planning on moving away from home? Will you be having temporary accommodations until you come back? Do you regret that stark temporary feeling you know it will have? If so, maybe we can help out a little. Here are a few tips to make your temporary accommodations feel like home…!
One of the biggest mistake most of us make when it comes to our temporary accommodations, is thinking of it as temporary. Sure, you are not going to be living there for years; but that shouldn’t stop you from “living” there. get that router, buy those pretty curtains and invest a little time and effort in the garden. Trust us; if you plan on living here for more than 6 months, this is an extremely important tip to remember.
A warm home automatically becomes more inviting. And making sure your temporary place of living is warm and inviting is the best way to feel less depressed when you walk into an empty house at the end of a long day. First, make sure you have the right kind of heater installed. And while you are at it, consider buying yourself a portable water heater for the shower as well. Buying shaggy rugs online Australia is another way that you can easily make your home much cozier. If you are the knitting or the crocheting type, make few projects to help warm the place up…while having fun at the same time…!
Most people avoid bringing personal items to their temporary accommodations, simply because it is a pain to lug everything back when they are eventually heading home. However, this adds to that cold feeling of the home. so whether it’s your favorite mug, your blankets or the quality round rugs you like to place next to your bed; bring it all over. If these are simply too troublesome to bring over, go shopping in your new town and buy yourself a few picture frames. Print out a few photographs from your cameral roll, and hang it around; instant personalization of your temporary aboard.
One thing most people miss when saying by themselves, is the taste of home. And it is completely regardless to if you do the cooking back home or some one else does it for you.

Quality in working life is one of Eurocadres' thematic priority areas. There is need for flexibility on the labour market as well as providing the right balance between private life and working life. As employees we spend a large part of our lives in the work-place.
There is clear evidence that long working hours have negative effect on health, safety, gender equality and work-life balance of the worker. Generally, it has also been shown that decreased yearly working hours have positive impact on productivity (Deloitte, 2010).
Leadership skills need to be strengthened and training and upskilling is essential. Managers, having the role of leaders, also need clearly communicated goals on what they are expected to achieve.
Equality, accessibility and inclusion are a matter of human rights. In addition to that, the research evidence is growing that there is also a strong business case for diversity, making it profitable to invest in improving practice in the workplace. Equal rights and opportunities must be mainstreamed. Managers have a responsibility to combat racism, sexism, xenophobia and homophobia and other forms of discrimination.
European women are highly-skilled and an increasing number of women graduate with tertiary education. But highly-educated women find it harder to enter the labour market and are in lower-skilled jobs in comparison to men. Promoting establishment of good child and elderly care systems enables women to take part in the labour market more actively. Single parents meet special challenges.

When adults come of age and soon retires from active job duties — then it’s time to continue their final stages of life which is the stage of abundance rest and relaxation. When seniors get to this age, life becomes a bit more challenging living under unkempt circumstances like bad weather, polluted air, dirty environment, noisily clogged etc. this period of time calls for a change of environment and If I were you, I’d think of a senior community.
A Senior retirement community is a reserved portion of estate or landmass that is meant to serve the purpose of construction of homes for aged people – men and women. Senior communities are best places to safeguard your parents, uncles and relatives — especially the few ones that have come of age and has left active job positions. The most advantageous reasons why senior retirement communities are highly recommended for seniors is because it is the best place to give them protection for environmental hazards, bad weather, poisonous or polluted air, noise pollution, and dirts etc. Hence, senior homes are often well planned either by the government or NGO’s and companies.
Indeed, even hale and healthy individuals ought to consider access to quality human services when they purchase a home. In the event that your family lives far away or in the event that you travel a considerable measure, you might need to reside close to an airplane terminal. What marvels you greatly and would you like to accomplish for entertainment only? Ensure your house is helpful to these exercises. You ought to consider your atmosphere changes also. Do you appreciate encountering every one of the four seasons, or would you incline toward a place that is warm all year?
According to Dan Ihara, CEO of The Ihara Team Keller Williams in Honolulu. “The primary thing they search for is not having any stairs” says of his customers. Homes with even a single step up or down, just like a depressed family room, can be an issue on the off chance that somebody uses a wheelchair. Another area to check is the front walk of the garage, ensure that no stairs is going into and out out the house from that end.
Search for wide lobbies, 36-inch doors and open space. So many homeowners nowadays prefer floor plans for the reason that it creates better spaces for meetups. Certainly true, they’re easier to overcome with a walker or wheelchair.
Have a Least One Step-in Shower.
A good number of aged people find step-in, step-out bathtubs troublesome. The best showers for older people have no steps and can be wheeled into. Some grab bars for showers and toilets likewise are helpful. While you’re taking a look at the shower, look at the washroom itself.

1. St Tikhon, Bishop of Amathus.
2. The Holy Martyrs Tigrius and Eutropius.
They were both priests with St John Chrysostom. When evil men drove St John from Constantinople, the cathedral was set on fire, the flames from it rising high and failing upon the houses of those who were persecuting this light of the Church. The people saw the finger of God at work in this event, but St John's enemies blamed his followers for the fire. Many of them suffered because of this, including the priest Tigrius and the reader Eutroplus. The civil governor, an unbaptised Greek called Optatius, started a particularly venomous hunt for the followers of St John. Tigrius had been the slave of a rich man in his youth, and had been castrated. Set free from slavery, he had devoted himself entirely to the service of the Church and shone in that service like a ray of light. Optatius gave this 'meek, humble, merciful and hospitable' man over to vicious torture and then sent him into exile, to Mesopotamia, where he died while still in captivity. Eutropius, chaste and pure from his earliest youth, without vice or guile, was flogged with bull-whips and staves and finally hanged. When Christians took his body for burial, a melodious angelic chanting was heard in the sky above them.

Rebuilding Together DC Alexandria began the holiday season by giving back to an Alexandria homeowner in need.
Earlier this month, volunteers from Emmanuel Episcopal Church repaired the home of Bill H., a longtime Alexandria resident. The volunteers removed the carpet in the living room, hallway, and three bedrooms; installed foam insulating tubes on exposed water lines; secured a mailbox post; installed a bi-fold door and glass window panes; and more.
Originally from North Carolina, Bill is a former truck driver who enjoys hunting and fishing. He reminisces about the rabbits, perch, and bass he caught over the years, gesturing to show the large size of one particular fish he caught.
Bill has been living in Alexandria since the 1940s. He moved into his current house in the 1950s, shortly after it was built.
Now that the carpet has been removed, it is much easier for Bill to move throughout his house. He is grateful for all the repairs Rebuilding Together DC Alexandria completed in his home.
This was an eventful year for Rebuilding Together DC Alexandria. This calendar year, volunteers from a variety of companies, churches, and other groups completed over 65 projects repairing the homes of low-income residents, as well as parks, schools, and other community spaces. In addition, the organization’s Mod Squad, a group of highly skilled community volunteers, completed over 20 projects this calendar year.
Rebuilding Together Alexandria, now Rebuilding Together DC Alexandria, is an award-winning, mission-driven organization that creates healthy neighborhoods for residents by maintaining housing for low-income homeowners, revitalizing community spaces, and creating homeownership opportunities. Since 1986, more than 29,000 volunteers have worked on 2,200 projects, leveraging $8.8 million worth of in-kind value to Alexandria, and in 2019, we’ll bring our services to DC.
We are now accepting applications from Alexandria homeowners for free home repairs. Visit www.RebuildingTogetherDCA.org or call 703-836-1021.

Pretty decent as a thermo textbook actually. Except sometimes they explain a concept using an example, and then don't present the general case, which is not useful for trying to understand other situations.
I read this and I got a lot from it!

Outgoing procurement chief Mike Burt tells conference that switch to three preferred routes begins in June.
The Government is to begin its adoption of non-traditional procurement a year earlier than expected, it was revealed at this week’s Movement for Innovation conference in Birmingham.

Burt also announced amendments to the government’s design-and-build contracts and to Defence Estates’ prime contracting initiative.
The single-stage and two-stage design-and-build contracts will include risk management, whole-life costing and value engineering.
Prime contracting projects will be split between one-stop shop contracts, which includes facilities management, maintenance and rebuild, and major stand-alone capital projects.

When I was a little, my father used to carry his old film camera everywhere. I can still remember the sound that came from the camera when all the film was used. My own interest for photography came when I was a teenager and I got my first digital camera when I was accepted to one year studies of photography. After that I have mostly been self-taught.
My own story begins from England. I was born in Manchester but I have mostly grown in Finland. Having lived around Finland I found Turku to be my home, where I am now based in. I’m a crazy cat lady, who lives with her two little lions, oh and a fiancee’ too of course. If I had to descripe myself with one sentence it would be: “I’m a storyteller who’s heart beats for adventures.” If only words could express how much my heart beats for the thrill, trips to the far-away lands, seeing the world in different lights, dancing bare feet with the locals, etc.
I love documentary photography, especially weddings. Out of all the romantic things happening in the world, I still find a wedding the utmost symbolic event, full of beautiful moments to be captured and saved no matter the location, weather or lighting. Having said that, as a professional photographer and studio owner, I still have a special place in my heart for natural lighting simply because of its momentary and ever-changing characteristics.
Winner of wedding business 2017 in photography and video category. Wedisson awards ja Wedding photographers society has awarded my wedding photos. Junebug weddings listed me as one of the talented female photographers that uses Nikon.

The Indian market saw extreme volatility in the week gone by which was dominated by global cues as well as earnings. The S&P BSE Sensex managed to hold on to 36,000 while Nifty50 closed a shade below 10,800 levels.
The S&P BSE Sensex rallied by about 0.8 percent as compared to 0.05 percent gain seen in the S&P BSE Smallcap index and 0.2 percent rise in the S&P BSE Midcap index.
Even though the broader market underperformed benchmark indices for the week ended 11 January, there was plenty of action in select stocks in the small-cap space.
“Structurally, at the current juncture, the small-caps and mid-caps are trading around 5-7 percent below their longer-term moving averages (200-DMA). This is relative to a 2 percent divergence between the earnings and 200-DMA of the bellwether Nifty,” Pushkaraj Sham Kanitkar, AVP – Technical Research at GEPL Capital told Moneycontrol.
“The lack of volumes in these stocks, as mentioned in the above point clearly indicates to a genuine disinterest in the stocks,” he said.
Kanitkar further added that stocks with good fundamentals and growth prospects, maybe purchased in a staggered manner (or SIP) with a genuine long term view in mind (minimum 3 years of holding period).
In the S&P BSE 500 index, as many as 7 stocks registered 10-20 percent rally in the week gone by which include names like Adani Transmission, AstraZeneca Pharma, KRBL, Linde India, Himachal Futuristic, and VA Tech Wabag.
The Nifty50 rose 0.6 percent for the week ended January 11 and is moving in a narrow range. It is facing resistance around its 100-days moving average on the daily charts. The index is consolidating in a range of 10,950-10,600 levels.
Investors should stay cautious and wait for the index to breakout above 10,950 levels before going long on the index while on the downside 10,700-10,628 will act as important support for the index.
“On the weekly charts, the index has formed a higher base which is structurally positive and need to see a bullish breakout above the 10,950 resistance zone for any bullish momentum,” Manav Chopra, CMT, Head Research- Equity, Indiabulls Ventures Ltd told Moneycontrol.”The Nifty has formed multiple bullish reversal candlestick at the support zone which has kept the bulls interested. A decisive move above 10,950 would be a bullish sign and will take the index higher towards 11,350-11,600 zones,” he said.

If this isn’t the ultimate design in cat tree houses then who knows what is! With its three condo houses, three baskets, three ladders, two hanging ropes and an impressive 12 sisal cat scratching posts, your cat, or cats, will never get bored or fight for the same lounging spot again. It is quite a big thing but for multiple cats it means you only need one tree and not several dotted around the house.
Obviously with the price being as reasonable as it is, the condos and platforms aren’t covered with thick luxurious carpet as some more expensive cat climbing trees are, but apparently the faux fur is good quality and very warm and comfy for your kitties. The best feature though is the top pole, which is adjustable to fit most rooms and keeps your cat tree stable and firmly where you put it…even if you do have three or four excitable kitties jumping around on it.
There are hundreds of cat climbing gyms available on the internet but this one stands out as having everything needed to keep a multi-cat household happy, and it doesn’t cost the earth to buy or ship.

DOES RELIGION HAVE A POSITIVE CORRELATION WITH HAPPINESS?
Viewed in geographic terms, religion has a NEGATIVE correlation with happiness.
Whether religion correlates with happiness depends on how one measures happiness.
Whether religion correlates with happiness depends on how one measures religion/religiousness.
In several countries religion does NOT have a positive correlation with happiness.
When a study does find a positive correlation between religion and happiness, it is usually a weak correlation.
There are a number of other factors that have a significantly stronger positive correlation with happiness.
The correlation between religion and happiness appears to be bi-modal: religious people tend towards both greater happiness and also greater unhappiness compared to non-religious people.
1. Viewed in geographic terms, religion has a NEGATIVE correlation with happiness.
Let’s compare the top ten MOST religious states in the USA with the ten LEAST religious states in terms of happiness.
If religion is the key to happiness, then we would expect the states with the MOST religious populations to have the happiest populations as well, and we would expect the states with the LEAST religious populations to have the least happiest populations. A perfect positive correlation between religion and happiness would be if the number one most religious state also had the number one spot in happiness, and if the second most religious state was number two in terms of happiness, and so on. A perfect correlation would also mean that the LEAST religious state in the country would have the least happiest population, and the second LEAST religious state would have the second least happiest population, and so on.
There is NOT a perfect positive correlation between religion and happiness. In fact, the most religious states tend to be states with lower than average happiness, and the least religious states tend to be states with above average happiness. In terms of states, religion has a NEGATIVE correlation with happiness.
Note that West Virginia is one of the top ten most religious states, and it also has the LEAST happy population in the USA (it ranks dead last).
Note that two of the ten least religious states (Alaska and Hawaii) are the two states with the happiest populations in the USA (ranking number 1 and number 2, respectively).
In a 2011 paper that analyzed self-reports from hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, researchers found that the connection between religious faith and happiness was strongest among people living in difficult conditions—fear, poverty, hunger.
When we divide the world up by states or nations, the LEAST religious states or nations tend to have the happiest populations, and the MOST religious states or nations tend to have less happier populations. This geographic organization of data on religion and happiness indicates that religion is NOT the key to happiness, and it also casts doubt on the claim that religious people tend to be happier than non-religious people.
2. Whether religion correlates with happiness depends on how one measures happiness.
Religion correlates with happiness only when specific measures of happiness are used, particularly the Oxford Happiness Inventory. When other measures of happiness are used, the positive correlation between religion and happiness may disappear.
3. Whether religion correlates with happiness depends on how one measures religion/religiousness.
Surveys also ask people about their religious practices, such as how often they pray, how often they read or study scripture, how often they attend religious services, and surveys ask people about how they feel about religion (“How important is religion in your daily life?”), and about their religious experiences (“Do you feel close to God when you pray?”).
So, religion and religiousness can be evaluated on the basis of different sorts of considerations: religious identification, religious beliefs, religious activities, religious experiences, and attitudes about religion, to name some commonly used considerations. Whether a study shows a positive correlation between religion/religiousness and happiness depends on how religion/religiousness is measured or evaluated.
The surveys showed that across all creeds, religious people were more satisfied than non-religious people. According to the data, about 28 percent of people who attended a religious service weekly were “extremely satisfied” with their lives, compared with 19.6 percent of people who never attended services.
Having more close friends has an obvious relevance to happiness, so whenever “religiousness” is measured in terms of attendance at religious services (as opposed to religious beliefs or religious experiences) the correlation of religion with happiness could be explained in purely natural and ordinary terms, as the result of the social aspects of religious practices.
4. In several countries religion does NOT have a positive correlation with happiness.
Religious people tend to feel better about themselves and their lives, but a new study finds that this benefit may only hold in places where everyone else is religious, too.
But if religion/religiousness does NOT have a positive correlation with happiness in several countries, then that is strong evidence that religion by itself is NOT the cause of the happiness that correlates with religion in other countries, otherwise the correlation would be consistent across all countries. In any case, religion by itself cannot be “the key to happiness” for people in general because there are many countries where being religious does NOT make a significant difference in how happy a person will be.

The Delonghi DD70PE can best be described as a “luxury” large capacity dehumidifier. This unit has all the bells and whistles you would expect for a unit that MSRPs for more than any other 70 pint dehumidifier on the market. Also notable is the fact that this unit features great reliability – it is one of the most solidly constructed large capacity dehumidifiers we tested. We cover its myriad features and its superior build quality among many other aspects to this dehumidifier in great detail in our review below.
Note: In 2014 we reviewed ten different 70 pint dehumidifiers. In 2015 we reviewed six more. This particular review was written in 2014, thus all comparisons within this review were made comparing this dehumidifier to nine other 70 pint dehumidifiers and the top rated 70 pint dehumidifier at the time, the Frigidaire FAD704DWD. All new reviews compare all sixteen 70 pint dehumidifiers we’ve tested and reference the current top rated 70 pint dehumidifier, the Frigidaire FFAD7033R1.
We preface this section by saying that the Delonghi was the least energy efficient 70 pint dehumidifier we tested. The advertised claimed wattage by the manufacturer is 680 watts which is well below both the SPT (720 watts) and the Friedrich (746 watts). In fact, the Delonghi even outperforms units that do not include a built-in pump as far as manufacturer specified wattage is concerned. If you only had manufacturer specifications to go by you would find the Delonghi to be one of if not the most energy efficient 70 pint dehumidifier on the market, period.
As we alluded to above our real world testing garnered much different results. The Delonghi drew 655 watts of power even in our mildly humid test environment (approx. 50% RH). Compare this result to 620 watts for the Friedrich and only 600 watts for the SPT in the same environment and under the same conditions. Four of the ten 70 pint units we tested drew only 590 watts of power in the same test with manufacturer specified wattage much greater than the Delonghi. The Keystone, for instance, is rated at 720 watts and only pulled 590 watts of power in our energy efficiency test.
The bottom line is that our real world test indicates that the Delonghi is the least energy efficient large capacity dehumidifier we tested. If energy usage is a priority for you, we cannot recommend this unit.
The Delonghi exhausts out of the top of the unit and thus was at a disadvantage in our noise output tests (we discuss why here). Still, even compared to other top exhaust units it wasn’t the quietest unit we tested. The Delonghi placed either in the middle or the bottom half in all four of our noise output tests.
Of note is the fact that the Delonghi produced slightly less of a compressor buzz than most other large capacity units we tested. The compressor buzz was barely audible on low fan speed and imperceptible at high fan speed. Thus, the noise that it did produce was mostly fan noise which is a much less grating sound than the compressor’s buzzing noise.
The Delonghi performed less well in our moisture removal tests than we would have liked for a unit at its price point. It was 7th slowest (of ten 70 pint units we tested) in dehumidifying a 50 sq ft room from 90% to 40% relative humidity. It was the slowest of all the large capacity units we tested in dehumidifying the same room from 80% to 50% relative humidity.
If quick and efficient moisture removal is a priority for you we cannot recommend the Delonghi. There are simply less expensive large capacity units available (such as the Danby) that remove moisture much more quickly and much more efficiently.
Compared to the other two 70 pint units we tested that feature a built-in pump the Delonghi performed similarly to the Friedrich in both moisture removal tests. The SPT outperformed both the aforementioned units in both tests. It was over a minute faster in both tests.
This unit’s hygrometer had below average accuracy. Its measured readings were only within 3 to 4% of the actual room humidity at best. The hygrometer on this unit reads humidity levels in 1% increments.
The Delonghi’s water tank does not have a brace for increased rigidity and stability when emptying. However, we found the parts used to construct the tank to be well made and rigid and we wouldn’t lack confidence in carrying and emptying a filled a water tank. On many of the units we tested the lack of a brace (to improve stability) across the top of the water tank gave us legitimate cause for concern as their water tanks were not nearly as well made as is the Delonghi’s.
In general, we found the Delonghi to be one of the most well built large capacity units we tested. The DD70PE does sell at a higher price point than all of the other 70 pint units we tested. Its higher price is primarily due to its inclusion of a built-in pump. While this inclusion explains its price somewhat, there are still a few less expensive built-in pump large capacity units on the market.
We definitely felt like the quality of materials used to construct this unit was another major factor in Delonghi setting this unit’s MSRP as high as they did. All of the parts on this unit look and feel more durable and of a higher quality than most of the less expensive units we tested. This is perhaps the category in which we see the Delonghi’s high price tag most justified.
The Delonghi has received two 1 and 2 star reviews of 17 total reviews left for this unit at the time of the writing of this editorial review. While the sample size is small the small percentage (12%) of negative reviews for this unit is notable. Compare this percentage to a negative review percentage of close to 20% for the Friedrich. We note here that of the two negative reviews that were left, one didn’t even have anything to do with the unit failing (as most 1 and 2 star reviews do). The customer simply found the unit difficult to program (more on that later in the review).
If anything, the take away here is that the lower percentage of negative reviews it has received so far indicates that this unit has a good chance of becoming one of the more durable and reliable large capacity dehumidifiers on the market.
Delonghi is known for being a manufacturer of kitchen appliances, most notably coffee and espresso machines. They are more of a luxury brand compared to other brands that manufacture dehumidifiers and many of their products cater to a more wealthy and affluent customer base. It should come as no surprise that the DD70PE was the most expensive 70 pint dehumidifier we tested.
The Delonghi offers outstanding build quality, utilizing high quality durable parts in its construction and design. It and the Friedrich were the two most well built high capacity dehumidifiers we tested. The Friedrich, however, had a much higher percentage of negative consumer reviews. Thus, we have to give the nod to the Delonghi as being the most durable high capacity dehumidifier we tested. The DD70PE receives a perfect 5/5 for durability.
The Delonghi’s humidistat can be adjusted in 5% increments which is standard for the vast majority of both large and medium capacity units we tested.
This unit’s timer can be adjusted in half hour increments up to ten hours and one hour increments past ten hours up to 24 hours, again standard for most of the large and medium capacity units we tested.
The Delonghi features two fan speeds, which is again standard for its size class. Unique to the Delonghi, however, is the fact that you can only toggle between high and low fan speed when the set humidity level is below that of the ambient air. When setting the desired humidity level above the ambient air’s humidity level, the fan speed will automatically be set to low and cannot be adjusted. Setting the desired humidity level below the ambient air’s relative humidity will allow you to manually select a high or low fan speed.
This unique feature is really a moot point as you most likely won’t be setting the desired humidity level above the actual room humidity level anyway, thus you’ll never feel limited in setting the fan speed. We thought it appropriate to mention this “unique feature” in this section, if only because none of the other 70 pint units we tested limited the fan speed when setting the desired humidity level above the ambient air humidity level.
The Delonghi does feature a continuous mode. We discuss the benefits of this mode in detail here. The unit does not feature an auto mode. We discuss why auto mode isn’t really helpful in complete detail here.
The Delonghi gets average marks across the board in this category. The fan speed quirk is really not a negative as we explain above. The unit does have a continuous mode which contributes to its slightly above average score of 4/5 for adjustability.
The Delonghi has an above average set humidity range at 30-80%. Many of the 70 pint units we tested could only be set to 35%. In any scenario where a dryer than normal environment is desired, this extra 5% on the low end of the range will allow you to achieve it. We don’t really recommend that you dehumidify past 40% RH (relative humidity), however, we do recommend a unit that can be set to at least 35% RH as we discuss further here. The Delonghi fulfills this requirement and gives you the extra 5% of leeway should you require this functionality.
The Delonghi has a slightly below average operating temperature range. Most of the large capacity units we tested were recommended (by the manufacturer) to operate in temperatures between 41° F and about 95° F or 96° F. The Delonghi is recommended to be operated in temperatures between 41° F and 89.6° F. As you can see this unit won’t limit you in low temperature applications, however, should the operating environment reach temperatures greater than 90° F, the Delonghi may be less efficient than most of its competitors.
We should note here that we didn’t test any of the units extensively in temperatures outside of the manufacturer recommended range, thus we can’t tell you whether operating the dehumidifier outside the manufacturer recommended range impacts efficiency dramatically. Obviously, operating the unit below the recommended range (below 41° F) is not advised and will result in certain parts of the unit freezing up and/or breaking. However, operating the unit above the recommended range really shouldn’t have any lasting effects on the unit (such as parts breaking). If anything, efficiency may be reduced but we cannot verify this as we didn’t test it.
Still, we find it important to note that the manufacturer, Delonghi in this case, does not recommend that you operate the unit outside of the recommended temperature range. Thus, we do not recommend this unit if you’re going to be operating it in temperatures exceeding 90° F. There are other options that can be operated up to 96° F and should you need to operate the dehumidifier beyond 96° F, we can only surmise that the Delonghi will perform less efficiently than those units that have a higher recommended temperature range.
A gravity drain hose is included although its short length limits its usefulness. The gravity drain hose included with the Delonghi is the same length as the gravity drain hose included with the Friedrich (only 39 in). We discuss how this may affect you in detail in our Friedrich review. Here we’ll simply mention that we do not recommend the Delonghi (or any of the three built-in pump units we tested) if you’re going to be draining the unit using gravity.
This is most likely the reason why you’re even considering the Delonghi to begin with. This unit does feature a built-in pump and we should note that a second drain hose is included with the unit that comes with a fitted adapter that clicks into the drain hose port on the front of the unit. This pump drain hose is over 16 ft long.
Delonghi recommends that you do not drain the unit further than 13 ft away from the dehumidifier. Compare this recommendation to 15 ft for the Friedrich and 16 ft for the SPT, the two other built-in pump units we tested. You can see that the Delonghi has the smallest range of three built-in pump 70 pint dehumidifiers we tested and by a substantial margin. Depending on where you plan on placing the unit and the location of where you’re going to drain the unit you may need the extra few feet of drainage range.
As we mentioned above, the Delonghi’s pump drainage port is on the front of the unit. The other two built-in pump 70 pint units we tested feature pump drainage ports on the back of the respective units. Again, depending on the application this feature may be useful or limiting.
The Delonghi has an above average set humidity range. It has a below average operating temperature range and we really cannot recommend it, especially at its price point, if you’re going to be utilizing gravity drainage to drain the unit.
On the positive side, the unit’s built-in pump is perhaps its greatest selling point and because of its inclusion we give the Delonghi an average score of 3.5/5 for versatility despite its shortcomings in this same category.
The Delonghi does feature a separate temperature display that shows the ambient air temperature. We discuss why we consider this to be a useful feature here.
The Delonghi also includes a defrost mode for more efficient low temperature operation. Both the Friedrich and the SPT also feature a defrost mode which means the Delonghi’s inclusion of a defrost mode isn’t a fact that separates it from the competition.
Due to the setup of the LCD control panel (more on this later in the review) the Delonghi doesn’t feature a check filter light.
The Delonghi features a separate temperature display and a defrost mode. It doesn’t, however, offer a check filter light to let you know when the filter needs to be cleaned. We still give this model a perfect 5/5 for extra features.
A defining feature on the Delonghi – while all other large capacity units we tested had an LED display, the Delonghi featured a far superior back-lit LCD display. The control panel on this unit looks much better than any of the control panels on the other dehumidifiers we tested.
While the LCD display looks great, we found it a little bit more difficult to input settings on this unit than we did for most other large capacity units we tested. First, the back-light on this unit turns off after a few seconds of not inputting any settings. It’s very difficult to see the settings you left it on in bright daylight or in any environment that has a lot of lighting. In this same scenario you’ll need to press a button for the back-light to turn on and only then will you be able to see what the settings are.
Once you are able to see the settings there are a few things that may make setup a little bit more difficult for some users. First, toggling between fan settings will highlight either a large or small fan symbol. You’ll need to figure out (again, this may only be difficult for some users) that the large symbol is associated with a high fan speed and the smaller symbol is associated with a low fan speed.
Should you turn the unit off and immediately back on, the defrost light will blink, signaling that the unit will not resume normal operation for a few minutes. During this time you won’t be able to set the fan speed. Unless you read the manual, you probably won’t have any idea why the defrost light, of all indicator lights, is blinking for this reason. You also probably won’t know why you can’t set the fan speed while this is happening.
These are all small issues that you won’t find on any of the other 70 pint units we tested. Our goal here is only to inform. If you find our bringing up of these “issues” to be nitpicking then we certainly understand. We just want to let you know of these little quirks before you consider buying this particular unit.
To remove the filter on this unit you will first need to remove the water tank. You’ll then be able to access the filter through the tank compartment. This is a standard design for most of the dehumidifiers we tested. The Friedrich does feature a top slide-out filter which is easier to access. However, you really won’t be removing and replacing the filter often, so don’t let this be a deciding factor in your purchase decision.
This model’s user manual was easy to read and follow. We have no complaints.
This unit has the smallest tank size of the three built-in pump 70 pint units we tested at 12.7 pints.
We give the Delonghi a slightly below average 3/5 for ease of use. While the LCD display looks great it does make this unit a little more difficult to operate. For most of the dehumidifiers we tested, you probably won’t ever have to even look at the manual. On this unit, you may find looking at the manual before operating it useful. It does have a few quirks that make it a little bit more difficult to use than its competitors. This unit also features a smaller than average water tank, further detracting from its score in this category.
A very strong category for the Delonghi – we mentioned above how we felt like its higher price was at least partly justified by the high quality parts used in its construction. These same high quality parts also come together to make for a very good looking dehumidifier. The Delonghi features a very elegant and tasteful design. The front grille’s design is pleasing aesthetically and also contributes to improved airflow in the front fan on the unit pulling humid air onto the dehumidifier’s evaporator coils. We found the Delonghi and the Friedrich to be the two best looking large capacity units we tested. If you’re going to be placing the dehumidifier in a highly trafficked area central to your home, what it looks like may be a priority for you. If that is the case, definitely consider either one of these units as great options to dehumidify your home.
The DD70PE was the second heaviest large capacity unit we tested (of ten total) at 46.3 lb. Only the Friedrich, another built-in pump unit, weighed more at 47 lb. Among the three built-in pump large capacity units we tested, the Delonghi was also second heaviest. As we mentioned, the Friedrich was the heaviest followed by the Delonghi. The SPT was the lightest built-in pump unit of the three we tested, weighing only 40 lb. If weight is a big factor for you -say, if you’re going to be carrying the unit up and down stairs or across large distances regularly, definitely take a look at our SPT review. While the approximately 7 lb difference between the Delonghi and the SPT isn’t necessarily a deal breaker one way or the other, it is still a substantial difference and should be factored into your purchase decision if you’re deciding between these two units and portability is important to you. We definitely felt a noticeable difference between picking up and carrying around the Delonghi versus transporting the much lighter SPT. The SPT was much easier to carry and move around.
The Delonghi doesn’t feature a top extendable handle like some of the more portable units we tested. It does feature standard side handles by which you can pick up the unit if you need to carry it. Note that the unit does come installed with casters so if you don’t need to actually pick it up you can easily push it across carpet or any smooth hard surface.
The Delonghi also doesn’t feature any type of cord storage. As we discuss in much greater detail here, this feature may seem unnecessary to many potential buyers. If, however, you plan on moving the unit around a lot (as we had to during our testing) then cord storage is a great addition and a very helpful feature. Thus, we detract points for portability for any unit that doesn’t offer cord storage, including this Delonghi.
We didn’t have any problem moving the Delonghi around on carpet or tile. It should do fine on any smooth surface. The reason we have this category is because some of the units we tested didn’t perform well on carpet because of their low quality casters. The Delonghi’s casters were standard quality and performed well in any situation where we had to move the unit from place to place.
The Delonghi is a heavier 70 pint unit. It also doesn’t have a top extendable handle or any place to store or wrap the power cord. Mostly due to its weight we have to give the Delonghi a less than stellar 3/5 for portability. There are simply better choices if you’re looking for a 70 pint dehumidifier that’s portable (the Frigidaire) or if you need a unit with a built-in pump that is portable (the SPT).
The Delonghi comes with an industry standard full 1 year warranty on the dehumidifier itself and an additional 4 year warranty on the unit’s sealed system (compressor, condenser, etc.). Of the ten large capacity dehumidifiers we tested, only the Danby units come with a better warranty (full 2 year warranty on all parts).
As we mentioned earlier in the review, the DD70PE is the most expensive large capacity dehumidifier we tested. It retails for about $350 although we’ve seen it priced as high as $450 and as low as $320 online. Compare its price at $350 (approx.) to slightly less than $300 (approx.) for the Friedrich and only about $250 for the SPT, the other two units we tested that also come equipped with a built-in pump.
The bottom line is that the unit’s built-in pump is not reason enough to buy it at this more expensive price point, even if you require pump drainage. You can purchase a Keystone dehumidifier and a separate condensate pump at under $250 (approx.) for both items. Even the highly rated Frigidaire with a separate pump and hose should cost less than $270 (approx.).
Compared to other built-in pump 70 pint units, the Delonghi is also not the best value. Both the Friedrich and the SPT are less expensive and also feature built-in pump functionality.
Why then, should you even consider the Delonghi as a possible solution for your humidity problem? As we discussed earlier in this review, the Delonghi was perhaps the most solidly constructed dehumidifier we tested. All of the parts on this unit are very high quality which bodes well for the unit’s durability and eventual longevity. Consumer feedback doesn’t indicate that the unit is likely to break down. And should it last longer than some of the less expensive units available on the market, it should make up for its higher price over time.
The Delonghi is also one of the better looking dehumidifiers we tested. If you’re going to be using the dehumidifier in a highly trafficked part of your house and you want an appliance that doesn’t stand out like an eyesore, the Delonghi is a great choice. As we noted above, the Delonghi was the only unit that featured an LCD display versus the “microwave-like” LED display that is used for all of the other units we tested. If you value this type of attention to detail and quality then the Delonghi is highly recommended. We also note here that in the rare case that you need a built-in pump unit that drains out of the front of the unit instead of the back the Delonghi is also our recommendation.
I have an old Delonghi that has worked well over time. Now I have errors E1 and E2, which are apparently circuit board problems.
As I go out of town for months at a time, I need a dehumidifier with a pump. Also one that is elevated from the base, as this one with its large caster wheels. Being too close to the rug, those with less space have rotted out my carpet twice.
The new Delonghi units are only 1/2-3/4 inch over the floor, which won’t work for me.
