What questions come to a shipper’s mind when shipping across the border?
What is a cross-border shipment?
It is a shipment where freight is picked up in one country (Ex: Canada) that needs to be delivered into its neighbor country located across its borders (Ex: United States).
A truckload means that either you have enough freight to fill a full truckload or that you have a partial shipment that takes up to, for instance, half a trailer, and prefer to use a dedicated truck.
A full truckload (TL) is more costly than an LTL. However, it will get your shipment delivered faster than an LTL.
What is a less-than truckload?
It is a type of ground freight transportation combining freight from multiple shippers. These shipments often make several stops for pick-ups and deliveries. Transit time is longer but shippers should save on transportation costs. No appointments can be guaranteed under an LTL shipment.
It is a shipping method whereby a consolidator pools together individual loads from various shippers into one shipment made to a destination agent. Its main advantage is that it offers preferential rates to all the shippers.
It is an international trade document that confirms goods in a specific shipment have been entirely obtained, produced, manufactured or processed in a specific country. The commercial invoice usually includes a statement of origin. However, this may not be sufficient in certain areas.
It is a customs declaration submitted by an entity that is exporting goods across international borders.
This document must state the buyer and seller, indicate the date and terms of sale, the quantity, weight and/or volume of the shipment, type of packaging, complete description of goods, unit value and total value and insurance, shipping and other charges.
Do you need to hold on to records of your imports?
The CBSA strongly advises that you keep records of all the paperwork, either electronically or in paper format, of the goods you ship from and to Canada six years following your shipment (quant. That includes a record of the quantities received, the price paid, the country of origin, vendor, product and any other relevant information.
It is the Canada Border Services Agency. This is Canada Customs.
It stands for the harmonized commodity description and coding system comprised of about 5,000 commodity groups, each identified by a 6-digit code and arranged in a legal and logical structure and supported by well-defined rules to achieve uniform classification.
What does your customs paperwork need to inform the CBSA about when shipping freight across the border?
Are your goods subject to taxation when shipping across the border?
Transportation to/from Canada is not subject to federal and regional sales taxes. However, services and distribution and warehousing rendered are taxable.
Is a customs broker required?
Yes! A customs broker is a person or a business authorized by an importer’s government and engaged in clearing goods through customs.
It is a binding contract for the receipt of goods delivered to the transportation provider for a shipment. This document contains a description of the goods, the origin and destination as well as the trucking company’s name. It also turns into a proof of delivery once the goods are signed for and received by the consignee.
The importer of record is normally billed by his broker for duties and taxes. The customs broker is responsible for determining duties and taxes, then reports those taxes to customs on the client’s behalf.
Is my freight covered against loss or damage during a cross-border shipment?
For truck moves between Canada and the United States, the trucking industry provides you coverage at $2 per lbs unless you request additional insurance coverage.
These charges are based on several factors: the quantity, dimensions, total weight, origin, destination, commodity description and the type of transportation service that is required. Some additional factors may apply depending on your request.
Where can I get help to work out the details before shipping across Canada and the United States?
Canada Simplified is just one phone call away : 1-866-977-9343.
Canada Simplified is part of AP International’s cross-border logistics solutions aimed at helping small-medium sized American businesses importing the goods they have purchased from Canada back to the United States and exporting the goods they are selling from the United States into Canada.

The Benue Governor, Samuel Ortom, has appealed to the Federal Government of Nigeria to rehabilitate its major roads in the state.
He made the appeal today at the Benue Peoples House during a courtesy call on him by the Minister of State for Works, Transport and Energy, Surveyor Suleiman Hassan Zarma.
He listed the Abinsi -Agasha -Anyiin -Wukari, Makurdi – Gboko-Katsina-Ala, Makurdi-Otukpo – Ninth-mile as well as Makurdi – Naka -Ankpa roads as those that needed urgent attention.
The Governor said if rehabilitated, the roads will facilitate ease of doing business within Benue and beyond as well as facilitate security operations.
Governor Ortom also canvassed the construction of two bridges at Buruku and Tyulen to ease transportation in the areas, adding that information at his disposal revealed that design of one of the bridges has been completed.
While appreciating the renewed vigour with which the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency, FERMA was working on some roads in the state, he called for strict supervision of the projects in order to ensure quality execution.
The Governor suggested that only competent contractors should be given jobs while those who do shoddy work be sanctioned in order to protect the integrity of government.
He assured that all issues regarding compensation and additional land would be addressed in all phases of the ongoing housing project as well as the proposed federal mass housing estate for low income earners.
Minister of State for Works, Transport and Energy, Surveyor Hassan Zarma said he was in the state to inspect ongoing projects under the purview of the ministry.
He also appealed to the state government to wade into the illegal encroachment on the right of way of some of the roads and other roads in the state.

This is the most affordable option. International and out-of-town students are provided with dormitory places. Normally they are located on the campus or not far from the university. In most cases from 2 to 4 students share a single room. In a typical dormitory room you will find writing desks, chairs, closets, bookshelves, beds and nightstands. University dormitories are normally equipped with shared kitchens, gyms, recreation rooms, canteens, and laundromats. There are also locker rooms and bicycle sheds available. A security service operates on the premises.The government scholarships provide an accommodation at the university hostels. These dormitories are the most affordable option to spend your student life in Russia. The shared rooms and apartments are well suited for with the pack of friends or known communities. You can make good arrangements in about $500 to $1000 for shared accommodations in the suburbs of main cities.
If your university does not have a dormitory or for some reasons you don’t consider it as an option, then it is advisable to look for a rental apartment or room. Naturally, it will be more expensive, but you will be able to find a location and level of comfort that suits you. If you plan to rent an apartment with your fellow students or stay with a host family, you will have an opportunity to choose your neighbours.

I have been using this for a couple of weeks nearly now and it has helped me so much with my knee pain. I’ve had reports from a couple of others that I’ve passed it on to also and promised to post this up as I had someone else asking for it. So here is my pain relief potion. Please note, I use all organic ingredients in my things and I recommend you do the same but it’s entirely up to you with this one.
The cayenne pepper is from the same family as bell peppers, chilies, paprika and habaneros. Cayenne has been used for centuries for pain relief, it is one of the greatest spices on earth! Cayenne is one of the hot peppers, the heat in peppers comes from something called something called capsaicin, the more capsaicin in a pepper, the hotter it is. To give you an idea of the different heats, they are measured in Scoville heat units (SHU), bell peppers have 0 SHU and cayenne has 30,000 SHU, to give you the scale, the really hot habanero has over 100,000 SHU!
Why does this help with pain?
We have something in our bodies called substance P, Substance P is a neurotransmitter that relays information and results in what we call pain. Capsaicin is known to block substance P and is a constituent of cayenne. Below I’m giving you a really simple recipe that you can mix up in around 10 minutes and will be ready to use in about an hour, once you’ve tried it, you can then see how well it works for you and if you need something stronger, you can substitute the cayenne for something with more capsaicin in. If you want more of a salve (imagine the texture of lip salve), then leave a comment and I will post it up, it’s more complicated to make but easier to apply.
It may take one to two weeks to really notice the difference, depending on the type of pain you are experiencing, arthritic pain often takes at least a week. You will feel a warm sensation once applied, this is the heat of the cayenne and it is what helps with the pain.
WARNING: Please wash your hands immediately after handling, you really don’t want this in contact with your eyes – it will really sting. If the pain is in your hands, it would be worth applying it at night and sleeping with gloves on.
I use organic virgin coconut oil for this one – you can use your favourite, even olive oil if you like.
Put the oil in a pan on a low heat, if using a solid oil like coconut oil, heat until melted, others, just until warm.
Keep on a low heat for around 10 minutes, stirring regularly.
Remove from heat and put into your container.
If you want to use it fairly quickly, pop in the fridge, taking out every 10 minutes or so to give it a good stir. Otherwise, leave to cool at room temperature and give it a good mix every hour or so.
It’s now ready to use – again, don’t forget to wash your hands. If you are using coconut oil, this recipe smells delicious! – I would recommend labelling it.

SAM-e, or S-Adenosylmethionine; is new in the US but has been tested extensively in Europe and found to be helpful in cases of chronic pain, depression, arthritis, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. SAM-e has so far been found completely safe for humans and and beneficial to the liver and stomach as well. SAM-e is not an herb but is somehow extracted from yeast. (See links below) The one drawback is the price, which is about $1.00 for each two hundred milligram pill. A minimum dose is 400 mg per day.
Once I heard about SAM-e I hesitated to try it because of the high cost of this supplement. But as my sciatic pain raged on for months with no sign of improvement I knew I had to do something. I was told by doctors that I had sciatica and arthritis in my hips and that this would deteriorate as I got older. I have been taking 400 mg a day of SAM-e since October and have found that SAM-e has helped improved my mood and reduced the need for prescription pain relievers. I am not paid to endorse any commercial SAM-e products and am simply sharing my experience with this supplement. SAM-e should not be used by those suffering from bipolar depression.
This is an excerpt on Sam-E from the book Encyclopedia of Nutritional Supplements. I have this book in my library and it is the most in depth writing I have seen about Sam-E. Iherb.com has printed it on the Internet for your information.

It is approximately a biannual occurrence for me that I quit blogging. Usually I announce this to my best friends, those tall trees that always encircle me. Usually in a very loud voice.
When getting to a wifi signal requires sliding down a very steep and snowy hill…? SERIOUSLY. And no, we do not have these new-fangled concrete barrier things like they have on the highway. Not here. What we have here is a canyon. One side up. The other side down. Blogging is the first thing to go. Any sane person would agree.
Why? Sanity not being of my strong points, agreed…still, why?
God knows, I’ve asked. As most of you know I lost my thread a bit this summer. I lost my voice, because I lost the center from which my voice emanates. It is very unclear, in my journey, which thing it is that throws me off my game. Too much attention, or too little? Answer: both and neither. It is any scenario in which I write for the response instead for the impulse. It is any scenario in which I get my threads crossed, and try to make the energy flow the other way.
Someone said of me recently, it’s too bad she’s so angry, because otherwise her writing is really beautiful. I’m not going to tell you that hearing things like that doesn’t make me feel something. I’m not going to tell you that hearing that doesn’t make me startle, and feel scared, just like the icy edge of the canyon flashing in my peripheral vision on the right side of the car.
I feel like maybe I’m risking everything. And how is that worth it?
All my life as a storyteller and an artist (and I ran off to join the (theater) circus when I was just 18 years old, you guys, so this really is my whole life) there has been only one thing that makes the ones that work. It is always the same one thing, and I can’t control it. It’s simply a matter of which ones are true. I don’t control what is true. I can open the door to truth, or I can close it, but I can’t control what ice or fire comes through.
This is life. The beauty and the anger. The joy and the suffering. The rightness and the wrongness. The love and the truth. This is the canyon, one side up and the other side down.
All I want is to live this life alive.
I can’t split them apart. I want so much for everyone who reads here to feel beauty. I want you all to smell and drink beauty. I want you to swim in beauty. But it doesn’t come without the other stuff, too. To feel our sisterhood with the trees is to weep for their destruction. To feel our sisterhood among the nations is to weep for centuries of brutality, acts of selfishness, lives destroyed for others’ gain. It is all the same ugly/beautiful world.
I can open the door to truth, or I can close it, but I can’t control what wild voice pours through.
And, no, I’m not quitting. There are moments, when a voice like mine is heard. There are moments of shared electricity, moments of deep faith, moments of nourishment. Always, even when it seems dry or quiet, or desert…always, there are moments.
I have tried and tried to squish myself into all the boxes. I have tried to be more appealing, and prettier. It only makes us all a little poorer.
I will give what gifts I have to give. I will speak with the voice that I am given. I will lean into this faith, which is this art, which is the best that I can do…such as it is. This is what is asked of us, walking through these lives, with our consciousness, with our intelligence. To make this art. To make this faith.
This is what is asked of us: To open our hearts like doors, awake the tastebuds underneath our tongues, to feel this world. To feel how fragile, how impermanent, how stunningly beautiful, how cruel.
may it wake our hearts.
Oh Esther, I’m glad you’re not quitting. After so recently discovering your writing, I would be poorer without it. Your generous sharing of your thoughts, feelings and life – in all its messy, raw, beautiful truth – keeps me hungry for more. My soul thirsts for authentic voices in this virtual community, and yours is rich and holy. Thank you.
Once again, Esther, you have inspired me! Please don’t even quit blogging. 🙂 The truth is needed – beautiful and messy – both sides, not just one.
Thank you, Gayl. You’re a treasure!
You know how to give a girl the sniffles. Live alive. Live all the way alive and awake and aloud. This blessed thing we call humanity, of course it’s often upside down and confusing and full of unfortunate turns and unexpected scenarios, and yes sometimes we come to the realization that there’s another box to climb out of, but still, it is a gift to be a conscious part of all that is.
“This is life. The beauty and the anger. The joy and the suffering. The rightness and the wrongness. The love and the truth. This is the canyon, one side up and the other side down.” Yes and amen and amen.
Alive and awake and aloud. Let’s do it.
Esther, the gift you are sharing is your truth, what you are seeing in the unique life you have chosen. Truly looking and listening in this world is frequently painful; tears and anger are legitimate responses to the hatred and destruction. Not to express them would be less than honest. Don’t stop, Sister. All of your writing is beauty.
Amen and amen. Let it all come forth – the beauty and the anger. And who said anger can’t also be beautiful???
I think your anger is beautiful.
The part about the anger touched a nerve. Some people are terrified of anger, I’m one of them. I was raised in a household where anger was bad. Anger was unchristian. Anger was especially bad and unchristian for a young lady. I never learned what to do with anger except bury it and that’s a shame because anger is also powerful.
It’s not anger that’s the problem, it’s what we do with it that determines the good or the bad. So I just want to say, as someone whose first reaction is to reel back at an expression of anger, thank you. Thank you for challenging me to change my perspective, because I know when something leaves me uncomfortable that I am facing something unresolved in myself.
Thank you for this, Cristie. The funny thing is that I didn’t actually feel very angry. Sometimes anger is an interpretation that we place on criticism. But I have embraced my anger, over time. I had this wonderful spiritual teacher (the angel kind that shows up when you really need them, you know?) who told me that emotions are like waves. They come crashing over you, but then…they leave. I have found this to be true, and it is my prayer for humankind that we would teach ourselves and each other to survive our true emotions, long enough to reach deep for resolution.
Your beautiful. Your writing is beautiful. And I totally want to Voxer how beautiful your words are and how they speak of pureness that is rare and majestic. But that’d be stalker-ish, right?
Nope. I’m looking for you now.

When you are pregnant you often become accustomed to craving all sorts of strange foods, or combinations of foods. You may even crave foods that you normally don’t enjoy while pregnant. We have all heard about pregnant women wanting to eat pickles and ice cream at the same time.
Thankfully that makes me gag while pregnant, as well as when I am not pregnant. Pregnancy cravings really are the most bizarre things ever. Even more bizarre is when your body begins to crave things that are not food. This strange occurrence is called pica. It’s not hugely common, but it’s also good to know what to do if you find yourself craving dirt, or paint, or soap, or any other strange thing that isn’t food. If you find yourself craving odd nonfood items it is important to remember that no matter how much you want it, these things are not good for you to eat. Please do not eat them!
Talk to your doctor so that she can test for an iron-deficient anemia.
Eating of some nonfood items can not only hurt you but your unborn child as well. The cause for pica is still generally unclear but sometimes can go hand in hand with iron deficiency. Talk to your doctor so that she can test for an iron-deficient anemia. Most of the strange things you can crave are of course, not high in iron, but for some reason pica can be associated with an iron deficiency. However, just because you are craving these odd things it doesn’t always mean that you have any deficiency at all.
Pica can also occur in absolutely perfect pregnancies. So there is no reason to panic! Just consider it another one of those strange joys of pregnancy that is inexplicable and just a little gross at the same time.

ZTE has announced that it has now broken into the top five smartphone manufacturers in the world after it recorded huge shipments in the second quarter of the year.
According to global research firm IDC, ZTE shipped eight million smartphones in Q2 of 2012, an impressive 300 percent increase on the same time last year – kicking Research in Motion out of the elite club.
As well as that, ZTE has maintained fourth position in overall handset shipments, and after shipping over 15 million units in 2011, it's the second fastest growing smartphone maker – with only Apple experiencing quicker growth.
The Chinese firm's global smartphone market share now stands at 5.2 percent, with the majority of sales coming from China, France, the UK and the US.
ZTE is just 0.5 percent behind HTC in fourth in the top five, and only 1.4 percent behind third place Nokia.
Nokia and HTC have experienced vast loses, with the Finnish firm posting a year-on-year drop of 38.9 percent and the Taiwanese manufacturer seeing its market share fall by 24.1 percent - although HTC still managed to jump from fourth to fifth after RIM dropped.
However, the report notes: "Despite impressive gains last quarter, brand equity may prove to be an issue for ZTE in future. Strong brand recognition is a necessity if high-growth smartphone sales abroad are a priority for the company."
ZTE EVP and Head of the Terminal Division, Mr. He Shiyou said: "Entering the smartphone manufacturers top five is an important milestone towards our target of becoming one of the top three mobile phone manufacturers in 2015."

As a parent, you have the most significant role in shaping your children. You have the opportunity to help your child excel in academics, but also in life. Empowering children goes beyond nagging them to do homework or offering rewards for good grades. Those things are often necessary, but empowerment takes more.
Empowering your children means using words and encouragement to help them develop self confidence, a sense of identity and a safe environment to explore their interests and even fail. Empowering children takes work, so how will you feel empowered to empower your children?
Take a look at your child’s long term goals. Sit down and develop these goals together. Look beyond getting an A in biology this semester and talk about what career goals they have and what kind of person they want to become. When both you and your child have a long term vision, you will know the most helpful ways to empower your child. As you see them accomplish their goals, you will see how your role has been beneficial for them.
Keep track of your child’s accomplishments. This includes grades and exam scores, but also includes social accomplishments, caring for their community, investing in an outside interest, and acts of kindness that display integrity and character. No child gets it right all of the time, so when you are feeling frustrated by a particular behavior you can remember all of their accomplishments and see the growth and development they are experiencing.
Teenage years are tender years and need to be navigated with extreme care. You are constantly figuring out how to communicate with your teenager and discovering what freedoms and boundaries they need. You are resolving conflicts and at times making necessary demands. This can be exhausting. Take time to engage in some activities you enjoy. Get plenty of exercise and sleep to help relieve stress. The better you feel about yourself, the more you will be able to empower your student.
Ultimately, make sure you are communicating with your child. You will know what problems they are facing and you will be able to empower them to solve those problems. Children that feel empowered, loved, safe and cared for will find ways to be successful in life.

Moss's Egg. Task -1- Find the area of the shaded region inside the two circles shown below. The two large circles have a radius of 6cm.
The area of the small circle can therefore be calculated using the formula indicated: , where A equals the area and r is the radius. Thus: A = (32) = 9 � 28.3 cm2 Task -2- The same circles are shown below. Find the area and perimeter of the triangle ABC. a) In order to determine the area of triangle ABC, we must adopt the formula: , where b is the base and h is the perpendicular height. From the information we are given, we know that the base of the triangle is 6 cm in length, as we know that this is the diameter of the small circle and that the base extends to its ends (A to B).
Linear Function: y=ax+b First, I use two points of (1955, 609) and (1985, 1070) from the given data to find the parameters of the function. I chose these two points because they are the only two combinations that are all integers, which will be easier to calculate. 609=1955a+b 1070=1985a+b Finding value a and b by using simultaneous equation: 1070=1985a+b - 609=1955a+b ________________________________ 461= 30a a = ?15.37 b = 609-1955�15.37=29439.35 Which gives the equation of y=15.37x-29439.35 as below: Graph 2: Population of China 1950~1995 with linear function It appears to be rather fit to the coordinates.

It is of course not perfectly linear because the growth of a population would not be perfectly linear. This data is close to linear but it is not perfectly linear. A linear function is plausible. This is a graph with the data points on it as well as a linear function: y = 15.496x - 29690.2501 The function of the parent linear function is If in the TI-84 calculator you do a linear regression. You first need to put all the data from the years 1950 to 1995 into L1 and the corresponding population data into L2. After you have put the data in the L1 and L2 lists. After the data has been entered into the lists.

Stellar Numbers Portfolio. The simplest example of these is square numbers, but over the course of this investigation, both triangular numbers and stellar numbers will be looked at in greater depth.
Complete the triangular numbers sequence with three more terms. The given diagrams for the problem were through and are shown below. The next three terms needed to complete the diagram are through . These are illustrated in the pictures below. The white lines on bottom of each diagram are the dots that need to be added to go from one triangular number to the next. Question 2 Find a general statement that represents the nth triangular number in terms of n When completing different trials in attempts to find the general term for Triangular Numbers, the following information was determined.
Logarithms. In this investigation, the use of the properties of logarithms will be used to identify patterns, relationships, and limits of logarithms and sequences.
A geometric sequence is a sequence whose consecutive terms are multiplied by a fixed, non-zero real number called a common ratio. Therefore, to prove that the sequence is indeed, geometric, the common ratio must be found. When the sequence is examined closely, you will notice that the log number remains the same throughout the sequence and that it is the base of the logarithm that changes with every term. Understanding this, you can use the bases to find the common ratio of the sequence by dividing the consecutive terms by the terms preceding them.
Modelling Probabilities in Tennis. In this investigation I shall examine the possibilities for modelling the probabilities in tennis matches of varying complexity.
Let X denote the number of points scored by A. We can now state that: and therefore that: . We can hence easily calculate the probability distribution for all possibly values of X: x P(X=x) 0 0.000017 1 0.000339 2 0.003048 3 0.016258 4 0.056902 5 0.136565 6 0.227608 7 0.260123 8 0.195092 9 0.086708 10 0.017342 This can be presented as a histogram: This shows that the modal score will be 7, with the highest individual probability. Based on the binomial distribution, we can also calculate the expected value and standard distribution: Based on this we can see that most scores fall between 4 and 8, with the mean score being 6.6667.
Stellar numbers and triangular numbers. Find an expression for the 6-stellar number at stage s7. Find a general statement for the 6-stellar number at stage sn in terms of n.
are numbers that can be displayed in the form of a triangular pattern composed of evenly spaced dots. This can be seen below. TASK 1: Complete the triangular number sequence with three more terms. Find a general statement that represents the nth triangular number in terms of n. Given the fact that our current sequence is 1, 3, 6, 10, 15... we need to find the nth term. Looking at the sequence, we see that there difference between each term increases by 1 so for example the difference between u1 and u2 is 2 and the difference between u2 and u3 is 3.
In this task, we are required to investigate the mathematical patterns within systems of linear equations. We need to concept of matrices and algebraic equations in this task.
To check the solution The solution of this 2�2 system of linear equations is unique. 1. Substituting into equation (1): The solution is x = -1, y = 2. 2. ( Substituting into equation (1): The solution is x = -1, y = 2. 3. Substituting into equation (2): The solution is x = -1, y = 2. 4.

An investigation of different functions that best model the population of China.
The year will be represented by x and the population will be represented by y There are restrictions that also need to be set; the year as well as the population can never be anything below 0. My parameter for time will be that for each year, "t" will equal the number of years after 1950. Therefore, for 1950, "t" will equal 0, for 1955 "t" will equal 5 and so on. Below is a graph that plots the above data points.
Math portfolio stellar numbers. This assessment will investigate geometric shapes that lead to special numbers.
Expressing this mathematically, Rn = Since Rn=2Tn one can substitute Rn in order to get Tn, 2Tn= 2Tn=n(n+1) Tn= Thus it seems like a general statement that represents the nth triangular number in terms of n. After investigating the triangular shapes, more complex Stellar shapes will be investigated. And so forth... Each star has a number of vertices these will be labelled p. Every value of p leads to P-Stellar number, labelled Sn. In this case it is a 6-stellar number.

Hope you don't mind. As this condition can and will cause things in addition to severe headache and blurry vision, such as severe wallet depletion, together with a partner of the infected Kpox member .... saying no, no, no constantly no matter what the request is for.
Other members may also have additional info they can forward to Health Canada to help this no doubt unworthy cause.

From the juicy little blueberries all the way to the gently massaged and impeccably dressed kale, Blueberry Kale Pumpkin Seed Salad is spectacular. In fact, these dark leafy greens and berries dressed in Creamy Tahini Citrus Dressing are not like anything you’ve ever tasted. Just wait until you experience the tasty bits of protein-packed marinated tofu strewn throughout this lovely bowl of nutrients!
And do you know that there’s a little secret to making tofu taste lovely? Tofu that tastes fabulous is all about pressing. You press the excess packing liquid out of the tofu before you add seasoning to it. Pressing the tofu first allows it to absorb the full flavor of its marinade.
The pumpkin seeds can be pan toasted or left raw, that’s entirely up to you. Neato! This salad is the ideal dish to make when you don’t feel like turning on the stove.
Now about those gorgeously plump blueberries. Blueberries, as you likely know, are fabulously nutritious. Blueberries are high in antioxidants and help fight cancer! Additionally, blueberries amp up weight loss, boost brain health, alleviate inflammation, and support digestion. Not a bad resume for those little round blue balls of juice!
Also, I recently learned that eating blueberries positively affects artery function. In this video clip, Dr. Michael Greger of NutritionFacts shares precisely how many blueberries you should eat to experience maximum artery benefit.
And here’s a remarkable little fact to remember: frozen organic blueberries are often more affordable! Furthermore, frozen blueberries are just as nutritious as fresh!
And after viewing Dr. Greger’s informative clip for the first time, I promptly went grocery shopping. Have you ever been so motivated by what you learned that you intentionally went to the store to purchase a particular item? Well, I have! Off to the store for frozen blueberries, I went! In fact, that video inspired me to write this delicious recipe. Food is our medicine.
I smiled ear to ear when preparing the nutritional content breakdown for this recipe. This baby is loaded with good stuff! Be sure to take a good long look at the rich nutrients listed at the bottom of this recipe.
Additionally, the unique flavor combo of this delightful bowl is nothing short of addicting. The tahini dressed kale coupled with juicy blueberries and earthy flavored tofu make my mouth water just writing about it.
And finally, once you sink your teeth into your first bite, this hearty salad will become a favorite, I’m sure! This Blueberry Kale Pumpkin Seed Salad is nothing short of spectacular! So be sure to Pin this recipe for safe keeping and easy sharing!
All I can say about Blueberry Kale Pumpkin Seed Salad is you’ve got to try it, try it, try it! And take a moment to taste its loveliness with your eyes first. Believe it or not, this beautiful bowl is remarkably quick and simple to prepare. It’s the perfect warm-weather salad because even toasting the pumpkin seeds is optional. If you’d like, you can keep the stove off for the day – yay! This salad tastes incredibly savory, and thanks to the hearty kale, marinated tofu, and pumpkin seeds, it’s loaded with satisfying plant-based protein!
extra firm organic non-GMO tofu pressed to remove excess liquid - I've been using this simple press for years!
1 cup of fresh or thawed blueberries - Or, you can add even more berries... YUM!
the juice of two fresh lemons, or about 1/2 cup - You could also use the juice from an orange or grapefruit. I often use grapefruit juice to switch it up & I love it!
3 tsp of miso - I LOVE this variety of miso!
First, place the pressed tofu in a medium-size bowl after breaking or slicing the tofu into bite-size pieces. Pour the Braggs Liquid Aminos over the tofu chunks, stirring to coat, and set aside to marinate while you prepare the rest of the salad.
Combine the citrus dressing ingredients in a blender and season with salt and pepper to taste. The dressing ingredients include the lemon juice, or alternative juice listed, garlic, tahini, one cup of the soaked raw cashews, apple cider vinegar, miso, salt, and pepper, to taste.
In a medium-sized, warm, dry skillet, gently toast the pumpkin seeds. Observe the toasting and stir as needed.
If you are using fresh kale leaves, wash the kale and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside the stems for juicing or another use. Place the chopped kale in a large salad or mixing bowl. For added texture and color in the finished salad, set aside a fist or two of bite-sized pieces of kale to mix into the finished mixture at the end. Now, pour the prepared dressing over the kale in the mixing bowl. Massage the dressing into the kale using your lovely hands. Massaging the kale this way makes it softer to chew and easier to digest.
Now, add the marinated tofu, red onions, blueberries, remaining 1/2 cup of soaked cashews, and the toasted pumpkin seeds to the dressed kale. Toss gently to distribute the ingredients evenly. And toss in the extra bit of undressed kale that you set aside at this time, too.
Serve this gorgeous salad as a delicious meal in a bowl with a wedge of your favorite bread. Blueberry Kale Pumpkin Seed Salad makes an ideal dish to bring to a cookout or another type of gathering and would look splendid as part of a festive holiday buffet.
You can get this salad on the table super quick if you begin by pressing the liquid out of your tofu ahead to save time during dinner prep! Pressing the tofu typically takes from 10 to 20 minutes or so. If you like, you can press the tofu the night before, wrap it in a clean towel and keep it in the fridge overnight. That way, its ready to go at dinnertime!
If you find yourself going through as many cashews as I do in your plant-based cooking, you might want to buy the cashews in bulk. For deliciously fresh, organic, raw cashews, purchasing four pounds at a time from this brand is the best deal I have found. I store them in the freezer... it keeps them super fresh.

Cell phone payments are rising and according to Forrester Research, cell phone users are estimated to be around 5 billion by 2017 and mobile payments are estimated to grow to $90 billion in 2017, from $12.8 billion in 2012. Phone companies are either entering this lucrative market or shifting their focus to leverage this growing market and increase revenues. Some of us already use the NFC (near-field communication) technology on our phones to make in-store purchases. An example is the Starbucks mobile app which allows us to link our cell phone to our Starbucks store card and just hold our phone close to a receiver at a Starbucks cash register to make purchases. But, the mobile payment market is about to explode soon and help consumers with cell phones to make secure payment anywhere that they can make purchases with credit cards.
Apple has announced a partnership with Visa, MasterCard, and American Express as well as major credit card companies about a mobile payments system called Apple Pay which will allow iPhone users to link their phones to their credit card accounts and make purchases everywhere using their iPhones or Apple Watch. This partnership will affect about 80-90% of all payments. As we had guessed, Apple will use the NFC technology utilized by other mobile payment options such as Google Wallet to make in-person purchases.
For Apple, entering this growing market is a no brainer since they already have millions of registered credit cards which can be linked to the payment app and help iPhone users make cell phone payments. Apple currently has 500 million users which is second to Facebook which has about one billion users, however, Apple users contribute more in revenue per account than any other company. Amazon is second and Facebook is last when it comes to revenue per user account.
This new payment strategy is inevitable and it will be embraced by consumers and businesses. But the mobile payment direction will also have some implications. The rise in the number of cell phone users along with the increased use of the mobile payment technology to make cell phone payments will probably lead to increased cell phone theft and fraud which users have to be educated about as they start linking their cell phones to their credit cards and using their cell phones to make payments. Cell phone security and related software will also be improved as the mobile payment technology takes off, however, I suspect that users will not be educated as in the past about the risks and precautionary steps that they can take to reduce the risk.
Cell phone payment security will continue to evolve and improve in some ways and make our wallets lighter as it will consolidate our credit cards into one single payment mechanism on our cell phones although it is expected that there will be more mobile payment technology providers.
That said, I also suspect that security will slowly be taken out of the users' control because they are the weakest link on the chain. For example, password may be replaced with fingerprints or thought vibrations and the security process will be automated and forced upon users. For example, Apple cell phone users will be forced to use Touch ID to access the phone, or, phones will be programmed to time out the payment application sooner rather than later. In addition, when cell phones are lost, all payment data can be remotely wiped out to prevent identity theft or when credit cards are lost, the phone can de-link the lost credit card.
In case you missed it, here is the latest statistics for smartphone theft cell phone payments.

Today seems like a good day to write about persecution. Trying to imagine the agony of crucifixion, of nails through palms and feet, of torn flesh and muscle, of gradual dislocation as the legs start to give way and the body weight slowly pulls the shoulders from their sockets, I can’t help thinking again of the 50 writers whose hounding, silencing, imprisonment and torture is currently being remembered, one per day for 50 days, by International PEN and 26 at 26:50.
For those of us who spend much of our time crafting the anodyne language of business, this project is a stunning reminder of the real power of our basic resource – words. If we write something that the powers-that-be (for which read clients) don’t like, the worst that can happen to us is an argument over the bill. But for 26:50 we’ve been paired with people who had the courage to speak out and take the consequences, which in some cases was execution.
My subject, Xosé Luís Méndez Ferrín, got off relatively lightly by comparison with some of his fellow PEN writers. A novelist, poet and Galician nationalist, now widely regarded as the towering figure of Galician literature, he was detained three times by the Franco regime between 1967 and 1980 (with a certain irony since Franco himself was a native Galician). Yet Ferrín steadfastly refused to write in any other language than Galician, and during his second spell in jail created a fictional writer, Heriberto Bens, under whose name he later published – with a foreword by himself.
I don’t actually know how Ferrín fared during his spells in prison, so my 50-word sketch is largely metaphorical, but I hope he would find some kind of resonance there if he ever comes across it (born in 1938, he is still very much alive).
Writing this left me feeling that we live in such a desperately timid world; that we no longer dare speak our minds on so many of the issues that matter. Yet ours is a functioning liberal democracy where freedom of speech is still considered sacrosanct and we don’t live in fear of the three-am knock at the door. Nowhere is the language we use more vapid, more feeble, more lacking in conviction, than at work – where most of us spend the majority of our waking lives. On such a day as this I have to ask why? When did you last hear of a business writer being tortured?

Lovely piece for 26-50. I am minded of my favourite George Orwell quote: "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." He knew a thing or two, did George.
Having a mouthful of splinters and speaking them, or speaking around them, is no easy thing. Much harder than having a mouthful of marbles! We have grown timid and soft, and used to being mildly saddened or tepidly outraged and doing nothing.

Not all athletes are brickhouse brutes. In fact, many of the most agile ones rarely are.
It’s no different in sports car world and the AMG C43 is no poor man’s C63 - it’s just a different beast that lets you do different things. For a start, it has all-wheel drive and a smaller engine but it’s still pretty quick. And if you’re a modest sort of person, it probably feels a little less brash.
This updated AMG C43 is part of Mercedes’ mid-life update to its top-selling C-Class range, and along with some tricky new tech the big news is that every model gets a revised or entirely new engine.
This baby AMG gets larger turbos boosting power by 17kW to produce a total output of 287kW and 520Nm. The engine is otherwise the same 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo petrol motor mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission and 4matic all-wheel drive.
The C-Class’ mid-life update looks largely familiar outside but incredibly over 50 per cent of vehicle components have been changed – many of those underneath the nose. While all variants get new-look LED headlamps the AMG gets special multibeam lights with automatic adjusting high beam that illuminates 500m in front of the car, effectively seeing ‘around’ other traffic.
Distinguishing itself further apart are new 19-inch Aero AMG alloy wheels but otherwise it really is a light nip and tuck outside with some extra bits of AMG flair.
Interior comfort is unchanged and the C43 carries on its AMG-exclusive trim with black leather and red stitching and seatbelts. But tech gets a major overhaul and the traditional analogue binnacle dial has been replaced with a tidy 12.3-inch digital instrument display not unlike Audi’s stalwart virtual cockpit.
The infotainment system has been updated to a new slimline 10.25-inch unit and the steering wheel is the latest touch pro with touch-sensitive input and buttons for adaptive cruise control, but it doesn’t get MBUX like the upcoming A-Class due to launch later this year.
The C43 comes standard with the latest full driver assistance package which includes automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning and now gains active steering assist and active lane change trickled down from the larger E- and S-Class. Both add firmer automatic steering that can perform greater manoeuvres - active lane change will automatically change lanes while active steer uses map data to slow the car for more accurate unassisted cornering.
A new full-colour heads-up display is also available though not yet confirmed as standard spec for the new C43 when it arrives here in August.
Pricing will be slightly higher above the current sedan’s starting price of $102,611. It will still also be available in coupe, wagon and convertible format.
The C43 doesn’t feel any less special inside and it gets the hallmark AMG badge etched into steel on the new steering wheel. The wheel feels nice too, with aggressive Alcantara grips at 9 and 3 o’clock and a noon marker for steering wheel position when going hard.
The seats are hugging – with optional pneumatic bolstering - and finished in black leather trim with red stitching that matches elements across the curvaceous and unchanged dash design, and there are further aluminium and carbon-fibre trims dotted around the cabin.
As far as ergonomic and intuitive command dial placement, everything feels in the right place, including the new touch sensitive steering wheel that can command either the infotainment or the new 12.3-inch instrument display.
The new display replaces the old binnacle dial setup across the range and the AMG version gets its own special screens including G-force meter, race timer and engine data. It can also show partial sat nav mapping and has a semi-customisable layout in its different sport, classic and progressive modes.
On the flip side to its sporty theme are new additions including 64-colour ambient lighting and Mercedes’ energizing comfort that aim to calm occupants and tailor ambience from a choice of lighting and background music.
The optional Burmester sound system is also good – powerful and punchy and easy to use – and connectivity to infotainment includes Apple CarPlay.
Space upfront is comfortable and similar in the rear of the sedan, but the coupe and convertible is a bit of squeeze for rear-seat passengers that sacrifice leg room for sleek looks.
Despite being a smaller engine than we’re used to seeing in the C63, the 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo is energetic and has been wound up further than before. Two larger turbos increase power by 17kW to 287kW while torque remains unchanged at 520Nm available from 2500-5000rpm.
There’s no urgent rush of power in the mid-range but power delivery is linear and provides for a sub 5.0 second 0-100km/h dash in either sedan or wagon format.
The nine-speed automatic has more than enough gears but can be overridden using manual-select mode via the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, holding onto gear at redline and flashing a red haze across the bottom of the new digital driver display when the gear is about to ring out. It’s a simple solution that works well.
While the V6 engine isn’t going to make the wolves howl it does have a mean grumble around town and develops an eager rasp above 3500rpm.
The transmission is mapped to shift faster than before too and although this isn’t a hand-built engine from the crack team at Affalterbach it sure is quick. Top speed is electronically limited at 250km/h and we had no problem eclipsing that on German Autobahns before a quick blast through winding forest roads.
Riding on AMG’s own adjustable damper setup the C43 rides flat with minimal body roll in sports mode but independent adjustment on each wheel help it from feeling overly firm and skittish. But even in comfort mode it’s still firmer than passive and air suspension C-Class models that blend comfort over dynamics.
However, it’s a well-balanced tool on twisting corners that can make the most of its power and torque thanks to a 31 per cent front and 69 per cent rear bias all-wheel drive system. It’s very hard to unsettle the C43 and while it doesn’t have the hoon-like oversteer of bigger muscle cars it grips the road like a cat up a tree.
The steering is responsive and sharp and has a speed-sensitive variable ratio rack – at high speed there’s little assistance while at lower speed its more rapid to turn in. Braking is equally well balanced and hard to falter even when being pushed downhill.
While agile, the C43 isn’t a traditional intimidating AMG muscle car, but it’s also more than a price-point sports car. With a unique blend of linear power and all-wheel drive grip this is one of the most easily accessible performance cars in the German performance arm’s garage, with tidy manners but just enough gristle.

Every fashionista knows details create the bigger picture. You can have a killer dress but without the right shoes and bag, it’s just a simple dress. Your accessories make or break your outfit.
1) Handbags - "Every woman should have a purse of her own."
Just because it's made of fur, doesn't mean it can't be professional. Even though the digital world means less paper and more tech, women still love their work totes and satchels. Designers like Tory Burch love to work furs into work bags as an unexpected but luxurious standout. Leather is also a classic business material; you can never go wrong with a sleek leather tote.
You can go for traditional hues with this tan fur and leather clutch from Burberry for a classic fall outfit. If your wardrobe is more daring, get inspired from the rainbow theme of Brian Atwood's whimsical colors. This burst of color will add a pop of "wow" if you're wearing a monochromatic outfit.
2) Shoes - "So many shoes and only two feet."
Sneakers were a surprising trend among designers this season, mixing causal with dressy. This fun pair from the Fendi fall 2016 collection adds unexpected flair with dyed fur. Wear shoes like these when you want to add a fun twist to a otherwise causal outfit.
The Sonia Rykiel fall collection used fur as the focal point. If you want to add some texture to your outfit, shop for shoes with a noticeable fur or leather trim. Shoes with these unique ornaments will make an impact on your outfit for an event or a night out.
3) Scarves and Stoles - "I see bold accessories as a woman's armor."
These delectable scarves will get you noticed any event, without the chance of clashing with your outfit and coat or jacket. Fur scarves are especially popular in Europe, where fashion lovers throw on this trendy item for instant class.
The success of your outfit is in the details. Classic movie stars remembered this basic, but essential rule. Audrey Hepburn wore pearls, Elizabeth Taylor had diamonds.
Now you have fur and leather accessories. Be creative and explore different combinations of bags, shoes, and scarves for your own unique look.
