This post is about people who claim that they cannot lose any weight. I have been on the BB and MFP boards for a while now and it seems that there are those who lose weight consistently (assuming that’s their goal) and those who don’t. Now, those who keep losing weight get excited and stay motivated because they see results. Remember, and I said this before, your “why” and your results will keep you motivated. A nice coach helps too!
The more time I spend on the boards, the more I see people posting these types of comments. Before I committed myself to my nutrition and my workouts, I used tell myself that working that hard was probably very discouraging. After all, who wants to spend an hour to an hour and a half working out to end up looking the same week after week? Wouldn’t you feel discouraged? I would. Especially after putting all the effort I put into my nutrition and my workouts. And honestly, I wouldn’t blame them. The real problem with this is that these are the same people who DO give up and stop before reaching their goals. I suspect that some of them are also the same ones that come back to the boards to trash a particular program because it “doesn’t work.” This even got me worried when I first started because I didn’t want to spend money on a program just to look the same after 90 days. I can do that by sitting on the couch watching TV all day.
After reading all these different posts for a while I realized that they are all saying pretty much the same thing. And the truth always comes out, ALWAYS. Sometimes I jump in and ask people questions and after an answer or two, the truth emerges. It’s not their workouts. After all, there are plenty of success stories out there. My initial guess had always been that the problem was not the programs. So then what is it? It’s their NUTRITION. They are just not eating right and somehow they have managed to believe that they are.
I know it’s hard for some people to understand the nutrition guide. However, in my opinion, if you need to lose fat and you follow the nutrition guide; you will see that fat melt. And it doesn’t matter if you’re young or old, or if you’re male or female. Anyone who follows the guidelines with some caloric adjustments will see the fat disappear. Of course, the exception to this would be for those who have a medical condition or illness.
So why are so many people not losing weight if they are following the guide? It’s simple. They are not. People aren’t following the nutrition guidelines, yet they are claiming that they’re “eating healthy”. This is where the real problem is. Often times I am asked to look at someone’s diary and that tells me part of the truth. They are NOT following the diet! They are eating things they shouldn’t. They aren’t getting the right percentages. They aren’t timing the meals properly. In essence, they are not doing what they are supposed to be doing. They are lying to themselves.
One frequent problem is that their meals are very high in carbs and low in protein. I ask them to increase their protein to maximize their weight loss. And what response do I get? “I can’t eat that much protein”. If the problem is their timing, they will say that it’s too hard to eat every 3 hours. Another problem is that people underestimate the damage that things like dressings and oils in food preparation can do to their nutrition. They won’t enter it into their diaries but believe me, it counts. The evidence for poor nutrition goes on and on. It is very discouraging to read these comments. Mostly because I can only help you find the way, but you have to walk it. Lying to yourself is not the way to succeed in these programs.
I remember when my fiancée joined me and started tracking her nutrition. I helped her to figure out her percentages and calories. With the help of nutritional drinks, she has consistently lost weight week after week. My fiancée doesn’t work out every single day with me and yet she’s losing more weight than those who do. So what’s the difference? It’s her NUTRITION. She has basically followed the nutrition guidelines that I follow. If I eat chicken, guess what she’s eating? Nope, I don’t cook twice. If she wants to cook for me, she asks me what I want. Guess what she’s cooking – what we need. In essence, we are eating the same thing most of the times. She’s seen big changes and that’s where 80% of your results come from- your nutrition. She’s 4’11” and significantly smaller than me, yet the same principles work.
I am a living proof that the guidelines work. They worked amazingly for me because I committed myself to my nutrition. I followed the recommended percentages every single day until I got within 2% of my body fat. I found an excellent FREE app that helped me track my nutrition – My Fitness Pal. We used to have to write down what we ate if we wanted to keep track, but now technology is giving us a hand, USE IT! Plan ahead and commit to tracking your nutrition. If you stick with it, it will WORK!
So please start tracking your nutrition. It may be annoying at first but your results will far outweigh the inconvenience. Make sure every bit goes in there. Yes, even that sip you took from your son’s milkshake! Yes, even those 2 fries you took from your daughter’s value meal! Yes, even the 3 packets of Raw Sugar and 2 teaspoons of Coffeemate you put into your coffee this morning! I use myfitnesspal. The beauty of this app is that it can tell you exactly what you ate on any day, with calorie breakdowns of protein, carbs, and fat. I did it and continue to do it because I am serious about getting results. If you are serious about your goals, DO THIS! Otherwise, don’t make excuses for why you aren’t seeing the results you want! And if you don’t have an iPhone or Droid, you can log in by going to their website.
I know that this post is not going to be very popular but I want to help you achieve results. I won’t sugar coat anything to make you feel better and justify bad eating habits. If you are struggling in this area, make sure you do your part.
Kim, I think where a lot of people go wrong too is when they drink their calories and when they don’t look at the way they are eating as permanent lifestyle changes for their health but as a temporary diet. Temporary diets don’t work; 97 percent of dieters regain everything they lost and then some within three years.

Similar laws in Georgia also allow a social host to be held responsible in a drunk driving accident claim. If the host of a party serves alcohol to a minor under the age of to 21, or to an intoxicated guest who was visibly drunk at the time, and then goes out and causes an accident, the host may be held liable in a claim. Just as with the commercial establishment, a social host must be aware that the person will be operating a motor vehicle after drinking at his or her home or venue.
To understand more about Georgia’s dram shop and social host liability laws and how they affect your drunk driving accident claim, speak to an Atlanta personal injury lawyer at KWFDM.

December is crunch time for retailers and brands, which is why so many of them are getting into the holiday spirit with innovative and engaging content. This season, it’s not just about producing clever or heart-warming ads – it’s about creating an amazing experience for audiences.
Here are some highlights from this year’s holiday content marketing “nice” list, and what you can learn from them.
What can we say about John Lewis? The British retailer is the master of moving, viral holiday videos. This year’s #MozTheMonster video, with a lovely cover of The Beatles’ “Golden Slumbers” playing in the background, focuses on the magic of childhood imagination.
The two-minute short was created by John Lewis’ agency, adam&eveDDB, shot in a London studio, and directed by Academy Award winner Michel Gondry.
“This year’s Christmas campaign brings to life the power of children’s imaginations and the joy of great friendships. Moz and Joe’s story is magical and heartwarming,” says Craig Inglis, John Lewis’s Customer Director.
Stocking stuffer strategy: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – but you can enhance it. While some online critics have said that Moz wasn’t as heartwarming as other John Lewis shorts (we still love Monty the Penguin from 2014!), the release of its digital videos has become a holiday tradition that’s given the company loyal fans and international brand recognition. To date, the Moz video has received more than 9 million views. But to add to the experience, there’s an interactive component. This year, you can create your own monster and even take a selfie with Moz.
Spotify has been killing it when it comes to creating compelling content from user data, and its end-of-year campaigns are no exception. With a theme of “2018 Goals,” Spotify has created giant, snark-filled billboards based on customers’ streaming histories and playlists. “For us, data is this incredible insight to know what’s happening deeply inside someone,” said Spotify CMO Seth Farbman at NewsCred’s ThinkContent 2017. And Spotify has masterfully used everything from how listeners name their playlists to their song selections for creative marketing inspiration.
Stocking stuffer strategy: Data-driven marketing and user-generated (or inspired) content can rule the holidays. Take a close look at the insights you have about your customers and consider leveraging them for your next campaign.
H&M is making a big push this year to try to stand out in the saturated retail field with a cute, Christmas-themed short with celebrity power. The film stars Nicki Minaj, Jesse Williams, and John Turturro, as well as H&M fashions, which can be purchased in H&M stores and online.
“It’s exciting to see our festive designs come to life together with such inspirational talents. They definitely added some extra magic to the film and we hope that our customers will love how the fashion is presented throughout the holiday season at H&M,” said Pernilla Wohlfahrt, H&M’s Head of Design and Creative Director, in a company press release.
Stocking stuffer strategy: “A Magic Holiday” uses a classic Christmas fairytale theme, as well as a classic content marketing playbook strategy. While H&M features its products front and center in the short film, there are no in-your-face sales pitches. If you have seasonal products or services to promote, consider coming up with a way to entertain your audience, rather than sell to them.
Target‘s aim is to inject some fun into the in-store experience. Everything from funky photo booths, holiday treats and freebies, and product demonstrations make appearances.
“We’re really trying to create excitement and joy in what at times can be a somewhat stressful season,” says Rick Gomez, Target’s Marketing Chief. And more importantly, Target is trying to compete with Amazon and other online retailers, which in recent years, has converted former in-store shoppers into online ones.
Stocking stuffer strategy: Combining online and offline engagement – especially the shareable kind (like the photo booth and its #TargetFun hashtag) – can help create a memorable customer experience that will make people want to get out and shop.
Inclusivity and individuality are becoming more important to consumers, and Sephora has responded accordingly with a fantastic campaign. “Reach Out and Gift,” with a YouTube spot that has more than 1.6 million views, so far, turns the spotlight on members of Sephora’s diverse in-store team who embody the brand’s values. Ten people were chosen from among more than 1,000 employees who applied to be featured by sharing how they define unique beauty.
“You get what you give. If you give beautiful love and happiness, you’re going to get it back.” —Dane, Sephora Boca Town Center, Boca Raton, FL This holiday season, we reached out to the most unique, one-of-a-kind people we know—our Beauty Advisors. See below to get to know @Blanque_Spaze. … Dane, Beauty Class Facilitator Describes himself as: “Extra”-ordinary, level-headed, hyperactive bunny 🐇 Grew up in: Jamaica 🇯🇲 Favorite gift: A compact mirror from his mom Defines beauty as: Whatever makes you happy!
Stocking stuffer strategy: Your employees are often untapped marketing gold who can help champion your brand. Sephora’s campaign not only offers “real person” inspiration, but it’s also great for employee morale. Enthusiastic staffers make for powerful brand ambassadors.
Starbucks, like Target, is all about spreading goodwill and joy this December, including its “Give Good” squads randomly surprising people at community gatherings with gift cards. The brand is also bringing back its fun Starbucks For Life Sweepstakes. And for anyone who uses the Starbucks app, they’ll get an automatic upgrade to Gold status – nice!
This year’s sweepstakes lets customers earn game plays when they make a purchase in participating stores, and then take the fun online to see how their game board is shaping up.
Stocking stuffer strategy: Brand devotees love to be rewarded, and surprise perks can help convert new or on-the-fence customers into loyals. Starbucks ties it all together with a holiday spin that runs in-store, online, and via the app. It even promotes the message of “Give Good” on holiday cup sleeves. We’ll drink to that!
Winning holiday content marketing has evolved from a few schmaltzy ads into finding unique, creative ways to engage audiences and inspire loyalty (not to mention sales). How can you bring some of those tactics into your content marketing in the new year?

This is the second in a two-part series on the Latino Earth Partnership (LEP) initiative of the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) Arboretum Earth Partnership, following last month’s entry “Stories from Latino Earth Partnership: A School Rain Garden.” LEP promotes collaboration between educators and Latino communities by engaging youth and families in culturally based ecological restoration. Environmental stewardship is integrated with culturally authentic resources, Spanish language curriculum, and citizen science process skills like data collection and analysis, habitat restoration, and water stewardship.
In Milwaukee, Earth Partnership is offering a one-week LEP institute at the Urban Ecology Center-Menomonee Valley Branch in the summer of 2016 for teachers and youth interested in ecological restoration, Latino cultural connections, and environmental stewardship. City partners in leading summer institutes, community events, and citizen science projects include the Urban Ecology Center, Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers, and Escuela Verde. The essay below is written by Joey Zocher, a teacher-advisor at Escuela Verde.
Like many people, I have learned some of my most important lessons outside of the classroom, often through projects involving a body of water. I taught high school biology for ten years as a teacher for Milwaukee Public Schools before taking a position to help open the Washington Park Branch of the Urban Ecology Center. After a few years in a management position, I knew I needed to go back to teaching but was frustrated with the structure of the traditional classroom. I wanted to empower my students to transform their communities in ways that were relevant to them. To me, this is the goal of true inquiry-based science. I was lucky enough to find a team of educators who share my vision to plan and open Escuela Verde, a project-based public charter school in Milwaukee with a focus on sustainability and social justice.
In the very first issue of Environmental Education published in 1969, noted environmental educator William Stapp wrote a seminal article that stressed the importance of an educated citizenry. According to Stapp, it is vital that "the citizenry be knowledgeable concerning their biophysical environment and associated problems, aware of how they can help solve these problems, and motivated to work toward effective solutions." When Escuela Verde opened in 2012, we felt this statement was still valid, and that the biggest area of need for most students was the motivation to work toward solutions. Rather than blaming our youth for not caring, we realized our educational system offered few opportunities for youth to practice offering solutions to issues concerning the biophysical environment. Therefore, we developed a curricular model called Youth Participatory Eco-Justice Action Research (YPEAR) where students match their interests and skills with a community need. At Escuela Verde, seniors are required to carry out a yearlong senior thesis project as a graduation requirement that explores solutions to a community need.
During the 2014–2015 school year, senior Connor Mitchell developed an outstanding project entitled, “How Does Knowledge of Technology Affect Student Use of Technology in Projects?” When starting to plan for his senior thesis, however, Connor was not extremely excited. This is not uncommon. Connor’s passion was skateboarding, and he loved shooting and editing skateboarding videos. Connor began to draw on his videography skills by offering workshops that taught students and staff how to create and edit videos using Final Cut Pro – a means for people in our community to share our knowledge in a more exciting way. This focus moved him closer to a research project, but there was still something missing.
Students and Staff from Escuela Verde on a bike and skateboard trip tour of the Kinnickinnic River with SSCHC Staff.
The project really came into focus as our school took a biking and skateboarding trip to the local Kinnickinnic River to learn about riparian restoration work of the Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers (SSCHC). At this time, Latino Earth Partnership had also been working with Escuela Verde, SSCHC, and the Urban Ecology Center to improve water quality in the Kinnickinnic, one of the most threatened rivers in the United States. Through funding from Wisconsin Sea Grant and the Wisconsin Improving Teacher Quality program, the coalition held teacher professional development institutes and related community events to share resources for implementing schoolyard rain gardens.
Connor loved the stories behind what the SSCHC’s work, and particularly appreciated the bike trails the organization added along the river. When he heard SSCHC Community Engagement Specialist Iris Gonzalez share her dream to put together a video of the Kinnickinnic River restoration projects, Connor volunteered to help. He had finally found an authentic community need that resonated with his own interests. Connor, his advisor Cynthia Gonzalez, and Iris met with Cheryl Bauer-Armstrong, Maria Moreno, and Steve Laubach from Latino Earth Partnership (LEP). LEP in turn connected Connor with Reynaldo Morales, a UW-Madison graduate student and digital storytelling professional. Connor then put together a dedicated student crew to work with Reynaldo to create a storyboard, and then film and edit the Kinnickinnic River restoration documentary.

Connor and his Kinnickinnic River Film Project crew knew very little about the river’s watershed before the project began. They decided on five sequences for the film: (1) Historyand Place, (2) Present Day/New Neighbors/The 16th Street Neighborhood, (3) The Revitalization and Restoration Plans/Rainwater Management and Community Resilience, (4) Aspects in which the Neighborhood was Contributing to the Restoration Plans, and (5) Leadership and Hopes for the Future.
While they were interviewing neighbors and business partners, they learned how the demographics in the area changed from primarily European to Latino. They also gained critical understanding of the environmental justice issues related to drinking water, basement flooding, and lead poisoning, and were inspired by how much local citizens cared about their river. The final video, which moves between Spanish and English subtitles accordingly, was shown at several community events.
Developing a new understanding of the value of his project demonstrated that Connor deepened his environmental literacy skills by practicing and supporting interdependence with both his classmates and the river. He even continued to work on the project after he graduated from high school, bringing what he learned to his undergraduate studies in the UW-Milwaukee film department.

In many ways, Connor’s senior thesis project helped transform him from a reluctant high school student into an actively engaged citizen. Additionally, his project inspired students at Escuela Verde to further study the Kinnickinnic River as it undergoes its transformation, and we continue to work with SSCHC on river stewardship. Just as we work to restore the shoreline by removing the concrete channels of the Kinnickinnic River, we must also work to restore learning by reconsidering traditional educational systems so our youth can learn what is relevant and important to their lives.
Joey Zocher is a teacher-advisor at Escuela Verde. With over a decade of experience teaching science in Milwaukee public schools, Zocher believes Escuela Verde’s student-centered, project-based learning approach to teaching and learning is the missing link to student success.

One cannot achieve optimal health if their nervous systems are not functioning optimally. The nervous system can only function optimally if the spine is in perfect alignment from the front and side. 90% of the brain’s energy is used to relate the physically body to gravity, 10% is used for thinking, healing and metabolism (body function)). Dr. Roger Sperry who is a Nobel Prize recipient for brain research said, “If one is posturally distorted, that person constantly robs from the small 10% of life that determines our health. With our lifestyle stressors today (chemical, physical & emotional), chiropractic adjustments are essential to maintain a healthy spine and nerve system. We are literally created and re-created from the inside-out. Humans are a spiritual entity being physically manifested in space and time. The nervous system is the physical vehicle which creates and controls (animates) the entirety of the individual. We are a product of our nervous systems blueprint. When there exists a clear connection form brain to body and body to brain, this is when people are healthy from the inside. Any interference to the nervous system will reduce the person’s ability to be at 100% in cell regeneration, healing and function. Sickness is only a result of a lack of healing or health over time. Your SPINE AND NERVOUS SYSTEM, above all, determines your health. Your lifestyle habits, how you eat, move, think are only stressors to the body. How the body responds to stressors is through the nervous system because it carries the intelligence of the individual. If the nervous system is healthy, one can adapt well to great stressors. If the nervous system is unhealthy, one can’t adapt well to small stressors, thus, leading the individual toward sickness, illness and a premature death. Please don’t misinterpret us here. We certainly advocate healthy lifestyle habits as too, but know by caring for thousands of people that it is secondary to a healthy spine and nervous system.
Through educational opportunities, like this website, our weekly Family Wellness Workshops and Family Wellness Workouts, we are here to help guide people on their journey towards Optimal Health. Our desire is to see people adopt and embrace the inside-out wellness care model of health and the wellness paradigm instead of waiting for symptoms and then treating the effects of them. There are NO consequence free choices…ever! Countless scientific studies have proven that every choice you make either moves you towards sickness or towards health. Lifetime Family Wellness Centers has created a comprehensive wellness program based on the wellness paradigm. Our expertise and experience is helping people easily implement long-lasting, congruent, healthy, lifestyle changes progressively for maximum results.
We know that every choice we make today manifests as our reality tomorrow. We value health and happiness over wealth and prosperity, but believe you can have them all. We know that healthy people would rather prevent than treat, and know that staying well is something earned by education and implementation. We believe you heal as a whole person from the inside out (body, soul & spirit) and are more than a list of symptoms that need to be treated. You are the wonder of all creation wanting to become WHOLE! We believe in helping people actualize this desire..
We are proud to provide the public with the highest quality service available. All of our doctors are highly trained, skilled and motivated to help each patient move towards Optimal Health and Healing.

Mesquite, NV - September 27, 2008: Driving the #7101 Dixon Bros. Racing Ford Ranger, Aaron Dixon and navigator Ed Ramirez soloed Best in the Desert Racing Association’s ‘Silver State 300’, to win their third consecutive race this season. The win moved the #7101 Dixon Bros. Ford into the Class 7100 points lead with only the ‘Henderson’s Fabtech Desert Classic’ left on Best in the Desert’s 2008 racing schedule, December 5-7.
Aaron started the race in 3rd position, behind the #7102 and #7114 Fords. There was a mild breeze, but dust was still hanging in the valleys. The plan was to settle into a moderate pace and see what competition materialized. Around mile 15 they began to close on the #7102 truck, but attempting a pass was not worth the risk. Five miles later they encountered some thick dust, when suddenly the #7114 Ford appeared out of nowhere, lying on it’s side in the middle of the course. “We almost scraped our door on their roof but made it around the outside of the corner” Aaron said. “A few miles later the #7102, who was not running on Goodyear’s, was pulled over with a flat rear tire.” Now in the lead, the #7101 Dixon Bros. Ford found some clean air and quickly started to catch up to some of the race traffic that started in front of their class. So far the course had been tight and technical with no room to pass because of the rocks lining the road’s edge.
showers, and dust from a vehicle ahead of us made the last 60 miles seem an eternity. As day turned to night, we turned on our KC Hilites just in time to shine on the checkered flag waving at us. It was a long, hard 300 miles, but was easily soothed by the sense of accomplishment in winning one of the toughest races we have ever entered”.
The #7101 Dixon Bros. Ford took the win after just under eight hours on he race course beating the second place #7102 Ford to the finish by 2 hours, 12 minutes.
The final race of the season for Dixon Bros. Racing is Best in the Desert’s ‘Henderson’s Fabtech Desert Classic’, scheduled for December 5-7 in Henderson, Nevada.

Dry herb vaporizers are special vaporizers designed to bring cannabis to a high enough temperature where the cannabinoids and terpenes inside the herb will begin to evaporate and can be inhaled.
Battery – The battery can often be the difference between a good vaporizer and a great one. The most popular kind of batter is a lithium-ion battery due to their ability to be recharged hundreds of times with limited degradation to the battery.
Oven – Ovens are where your herbs are heated before you enjoy them. The best materials are ceramic, glass and stainless steel. It is advisable to avoid any vaporizer with a plastic oven due to the release of toxins.
Airpath – This is the tube that carries the vapour from the oven to the mouthpiece. The best air paths cool the vapour down before it reaches your mouth.
Mouthpiece – This is where you inhale your herbs. You’ll want a mouthpiece that doesn’t affect the taste and has decent draw resistance.
There are literally hundreds of cannabis vaporizers available to buy today and they all have their own advantages and weaknesses. Out of all the UK dry herb vaporizers, my favourite is The Mighty due to its vapour production and flavours it produces. However, I advise you to do your own research to find the best mode for you depending on your budget and what materials you vape most.
Should I grind my cannabis before placing in the vaporizers oven?
Grinding isn’t necessary but it is recommended! The finer your herbs are ground, the more surface area will be available to be exposed to the heat. This will help ensure that the entire herbal contents of your oven are evenly heated and will provide the most consistent levels of vapour.
If your herbs are not ground evenly, you’ll end up wasting more cannabis in the long run.
Dry herb vaporizers do produce a smell! The smell is definitely less than a smell from smoking but anyone who tells you there is no smell is lying to you!
To a degree, the smell produced depends on how pungent your weed is and also the specific vaporizer you’re using.
Unlike smoking, vaping does not fill a whole house with the smell of burning weed. As a rule of thumb, whilst a person in another room should not be able to smell what you’re vaporizing a person sitting next to you would.
Another advantage is any smell dissipates much quicker than smoking fumes too.
What are the best temperatures for dry herb vaporizers?
Any vaporizer worth its weight in salt offers at least some degree of control over the temperature of the herbal vaporizer.
There is more to cannabis than just THC. There are over 120 cannabinoids in the plant that all have different effects on the human body and they evaporate at different temperatures too.
The effects of different temperatures will vary on the strain of herb you’re vaping but generally, low temperatures of 150°C – 160°C will have a mood-enhancing effect, medium temperatures of 160°C – 180°C will have an energetic effect whilst high temperatures of up to 210°C will induce couch lock and get you ready to sleep!

This API endpoint is deprecated. Please update your software to use the Door43 Resource Catalog (v3).
The Browser Endpoint above will contain more data than the tS API (2). Please update your software to use Door43 Resource Catalog (v3) if you need all the data shown there.
The translationStudio version 2 API is comprised of several cascading catalogs, starting with the Projects Catalog.
Please update your software to use Door43 Resource Catalog (v3) if you experience issues with this endpoint.
The Projects Catalog records resources available for translation in translationStudio. This file will always be downloaded first by the app in order to identify available updates.
Please note: the date_modified field within this catalog gets it’s value from the most recent date_modified value found in the Languages Catalog. This allows the app to determine if updates are available.
You may optionally specify meta categories on a project. See the notes on the Languages Catalog for more details.
The sort field allows projects to be displayed in a sorted manner within the app. The sort value MUST be a numeric value. That is, it should be able to be parsed as an integer.
The Languages Catalog contains the translated project name and description along with necessary information regarding the language.
Optional meta in the project provides the ability to create soft/virtual categories when viewed in the app. e.g. Bible→New Testament→Luke.
If the project specifies meta slugs the language must also provide the translated meta names.
The date_modified field in the language gets it’s value from the most recent date_modified value in the Resources Catalog. Once again this allows the app to determine if updates are available for a particular language.
The Resources Catalog contains the different types of resources available for translation. When multiple resources are present the app will supply ui controls to switch between resources.
The date_modified field is updated any time the source, terms, or notes catalogs are updated.
Included in each resource is status which indicates (among other things) the checking level of the resource. The app uses this to determine whether or not the resource is ready for use in the app. If there is only one resource it should be given the slug value “default” and the name can be left as an empty string.
The Source Catalog contains all the chapters and frames of the project.
The ref and title fields are optional. If left blank they will not be available for translation within the app. The img field is likewise optional.
There is a new format field that allows you to specify the format of the frame text. For example Bible translation projects are in the usx format. Valid options for format are currently usx and txt.
"text": "<para style=\"p\"><verse number=\"1\" style=\"v\" />Now in those days, it came about that Caesar Augustus sent out a decree ordering that a census be taken of all the people living in the Roman world.<verse number=\"2\" style=\"v\" />This was the first census made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.<verse number=\"3\" style=\"v\" />So everyone went to his own town to be registered for the census.</para>"

Why should you seek a loan from Husker GMC?
Are you looking to buy a car soon? Do you know what your options are? Many people who have the cash to purchase a vehicle often think that it is easier to pay in cash rather than use the available car financing options to buy the car. At Husker GMC, we are dedicated to ensuring that we help our clients identify and access the best car financing options that are convenient to their current financial situation without any regards to their credit score.
Although a cash purchase seems like a good idea on the surface, with proper research and utilization of available purchase options, you can enjoy a car financing even better. The good thing about car financing is that people who do not have access to conventional bank loans can finance their cars through the numerous available car-financing options.
Car financing allows you to make future savings: It is difficult to raise the amount that you require to purchase the latest high-end car models, which means that purchasing your car in cash limits the vehicles that you can buy. It is also expensive in the long term to buy a car in cash due to the various repair expenses that will be involved because buying in cash often forces you to purchase cheaper models. Financing your car ensures that you can buy the latest car models that ensuring efficiency on fuel, and this saves you a lot of cash in the long term.
Car financing also makes it convenient for you to budget your expenses: Financing your car entails having to pay a certain amount of cash each month with a limited interest. Having to use the whole of your savings to purchase a car can be risky because it would diminish your ability to cover emergencies. Car financing makes it possible for you to purchase your favorite car without having to use your savings.
Car financing creates a good credit history for you: Car financing is available to everyone including individuals with a bad credit score. If you are seeking to improve your credit history that will lead to better credit score, you can use the car financing options as part of the measures you take to improve your credit score.
You have the opportunity to invest the cash and get returns on the investment: One of the assets that you can acquire but somewhat rather quickly is a car. If you have the cash to purchase a car, you can opt to invest the money in lucrative ideas such as company shares and receive interest on the cash rather than paying for the car in cash.
Most prospective borrowers often wonder if they have to maintain a minimum credit score to qualify for a loan. With car financing, however, lenders are always willing to help their clients acquire cars regardless of their credit score.

In my romantic muses about the early morning songs of nature, I envision these creatures to be the truly devoted callers of the Adhan or Morning Prayer- coaxing we early risers to meet that first glimpse of sunlight and love with reverent thanks and praises.
What pride I have in my ability to awaken at the first chirps of the chickadees who’s peeping sounds appear to be 20 times the size of its being.
Reality has a way of defusing romantic fantasy. The assortment of ornithological species in my neighborhood that rise up for dawn calls have different modus operandi than I concocted in my head. These birds –no matter how small- are flexing their mighty voices to attract a mate. These are mostly of the male species, beginning the day singing their little hearts out to attract a female. The “early bird gets the worm” – probably meant “womb.” For the loudest and most brazen of chirpers wins the booty.
The master think tankers behind the social media phenom “Twitter” envisioned a platform for “short burst of inconsequential information” like the “nonsensical chirping of birds.” Tweeting like Twerking, appeared to be for fun! In the current reality, we are experiencing the depth of that alternative fact. Tweeting these days by the loudest and most brazen amongst mankind is quickly proving to be most consequential, and like twerking exposing the depths of our immorality in search of some booty.
Yet by God’s Grace, we all have something to say.
The Divine opportunity of the early morning salutation binds us to our nature. We are given a platform to offer our tweets in harmony with the energy of the life-giving sun.
The Mu’adhdhin’s urgent reminder that Prayer is better than sleep, is a daily wake up call that life is consequential. The blessed Opening Prayer- el Fatiha- albeit more than 140 characters- does provide us with 72 words for reconnecting our human character to its root: humility.
Not the path of those who incurred Your wrath or those who went astray.

I am a fajita connoisseur. If there are fajitas on a menu, you can bet your last buck that I’m ordering them. Needless to say, this is hands down my favorite recipe. Not only is it knock your socks off delicious, but it’s incredibly easy to make. Add in some homemade guacamole and you’re good to go!
If you choose to add chicken to the fajitas, I used to marinate the chicken in the spice mixture instead of the veggies. I would saute the veggies, grill the marinated chicken and toss them together at the end.
Serve with sour cream, guacamole and cheese.
Scoop out the avocados into a bowl and mash with a fork.
Add the tomatoes, onions, lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper and combine well.
It’s been pretty cold here in Chicago and nothing makes me feel warm and happy like a bowl of chili and warm cornbread.
Just a warning, I like my food a bit on the spicy side. If you don’t, you can reduce the amount of chipotles and jalapeño you put into the chili. The adobo sauce itself isn’t terribly spicy and neither is chili powder. That’s what helps give it the smokey flavor.
Pasta definitely tops the list of my favorite foods. Add in some cheese and it’s even better. However, being the healthy person that I am, I knew that I needed to throw in something to balance the pasta and cheese. Enter vegetables!
When I was at the grocery store this weekend these beauties jumped out at me and I knew that they would be perfect in this bolognese. It’s kind of sad that you can’t see their beautiful color but they sure tasted good.
Just a quick note, I doubled the recipe so that I could freeze half for later.

There is a column in the ResourceProvider table named 'can_host'. It is used to distinguish compute nodes (can_host=1) from shared storage providers (can_host=0) for queries that need to distinguish those different types of providers. However, the name is very Nova-specific, and when the Placement engine is extended to support a variety of resource allocation requirements, it will probably cause confusion. After a discussion on IRC, we decided to change the name to "shared", and reverse any logic using can_host, since can_host=1 will now be shared=0, and vice-versa.
I remain somewhat unconvinced that can_host or shared are necessary when we have resource classes. Doesn't VCPU mean 'can_host'?
Or I suppose the problem there is that in the world of NUMA VCPU is not always going to be a requested resource class for something destined for a compute-node? If that's the case that seems like a potential semantic problem that ought to resolved, rather than making a special case flag for compute-node/not-compute-node.
Jay explained it more as an aid in constructing the SQL for distinguishing shared disk providers vs. compute node disk providers. So in that sense, joining to the VCPU class would work, but would make the hairy SQL even hairier.
From what I can tell, we don't even set can_host to anything to signal a compute node today.
We're not going to use the can_host field. Instead, the new MISC_SHARES_VIA_AGGREGATE trait is being used to identify providers that share resources. So, I think this bug should be changed to "Remove the can_host column from the resource_providers table"
traits, though, this column is no longer used or needed.

What qualities do the best leaders have? Do you have any idea what they are? Do you feel that you can lead? One quality of a lead is humility and the ability at take a few knocks. This article may point out some things you have yet to incorporate.
No one is able to read your mind. State fully how the work needs to be done, and the various steps to get there. Be open to questions. That way, if staff members don’t understand your instructions, they won’t hesitate to come to you and ask for advice.
Emotional intelligence plays a large role in your success as a leader. It’s not enough to know every policy, procedure, and protocol. You also have to know people! Research in this area reveals that a leader’s mood can have a significant impact on team members’ performance. A positive, forward-thinking attitude tends to result in higher productivity and greater job satisfaction.
Serve as a model for the actions you want from your team. If you act out emotionally then you can expect your team members to follow suit. If you’re lazy and untrustworthy, your team will think that they can be too. If you show real respect and trust, more than likely your employees will learn from it and mirror it back.
You can become an innovative leader by stepping outside the box. Most leaders, and employers, look for problems, and try to find ways to fix them. Instead, try to focus on the strengths of your team, and build on them. You will achieve much more with a strengthened workforce than a few easily-solved issues.
To become a better leader, put the above tips to good use. When you choose to become a leader, you open up a new world of possibilities. Realize these things and keep pushing while having the confidence you need to have success at leading.

Happy Holidays Everyone! In the spirit of the season – I have a few presents to share. First, a book suggestion, from my all time favorite old house photographer, artist and writer, Samuel Chamberlain. He did a series of books for Hastings House – all photographic documents of how these homes and rooms looked in earlier days, before we truly began modernizing them. The black and white/sepia photos have a wonderful atmosphere. I can just imagine him knocking on doors of strangers with his camera, hoping for a peek inside. His books are beautiful, and an invaluable resource for the homeowner as well as the restorer. You’re sure to find one in an antique book shop somewhere. I found this one on Amazon.
And here’s a link to an article about very early Christmases in New England by one of my favorite editors – New England Antiques Journal’s John Fiske. It’s an interesting and fun read.
Lastly, you must try this pumpkin pie recipe! It’s the best I’ve ever tasted. It’s from an old cookbook I bought at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston many years ago,”The Fine Arts Cookbook I.” I hope they don’t mind, and I thank Mrs. Curt Gowdy, of the Ladies Committee, for entering the recipe.
In a saucepan, mix pumpkin, salt, 1/2 cup sugar, egg yolks and spices, and cook over moderately low heat for 6-7 minutes. /Dissolve gelatin in water. /Stir into hot pumpkin mixture. / Set aside to cool. / Beat egg whites until stiff. / Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until stiff. / Fold into cooled pumpkin mixture and spoon into baked pie shell. / Chill until firm. / To serve, whip cream, adding sugar and flavoring to taste, and pile this on top of pie.
*I first made it years ago with real egg whites and it was delicious. And obviously – I lived to tell about it. But because of concerns with raw egg white, you can substitute meringue or egg white powder.
I couldn’t resist continuing this conversation after coming across a house that has been castrated, bastardized, sterilized, and all but ripped from its roots. Sorry about the language folks, but just when I think sometimes I’ve had enough, said enough, this happens. Of course it’s not the only one, but ohmygosh, all I can ask is why???
Why would anyone turn a house built in 1720 into a sterile cookie cutter concoction? Why make antique walls flat and straight, clean and new, or sand color, character and wear from floors that took two hundred years to achieve?! Why expose brick where it was never meant to show, and put ugly wood over fireplaces where surely lovely paneling had been? What is the mindset here?
Are there really not enough buyers out there looking to live in the real thing? Is the only way to sell an old house these days to open it up, sand the hell out of it and paint it a sterile white?
I call it Nantucket contemporary. I’ve seen a lot of them, new and old, in magazines, and in person. Not quite as bad as this one, but definitely made to look like half asylum, half home.
The bright side? At least it’s still standing. At least the outside covering is still those wonderful weathered shingles, and the proportions of the house are great. The chimney seems good – but too bad about that metal flue sticking up. The walkway, the paving, the garage doors, ugh.
Just had to vent. If nothing else, this is an example of what not to do to an old house.
Maybe someday, some kind soul will save it, again, the right way.

text: Membrane vesicles prepared from Zymomonas mobilis oxidized NADH exclusively, whereas deamino-NADH was little oxidized. In addition, the respiratory chain-linked NADH oxidase system exhibited only a single apparent K(m) value of approximately 66 μM for NADH. The NADH oxidase was highly sensitive to the respiratory chain inhibitor 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N- oxide. However, the NADH:quinone oxidoreductase was not sensitive to 2- heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide and was highly resistant to another respiratory chain inhibitor, rotenone. Electron transfer from NADH to oxygen generated a proton electrochemical gradient (inside positive) in inside-out membrane vesicles. In contrast, electron transfer from NADH to ubiquinone-1 generated no electrochemical gradient. These findings indicate that Z. mobilis possesses only NADH:quinone oxidoreductase lacking the energy coupling site.

Medicare was developed in the 1960s to provide senior citizens and disabled individuals with health care they could actually afford. At the time private insurance companies could not provide these population groups with affordable rates for health care, so the government stepped in to create Medicare. The program is fully funded by the federal government. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) guides the Medicare program and derives its funding from income tax on all employed individuals in the United States.
Over time, health care costs have skyrocketed and gaps have begun to appear in the coverage provided by Medicare. These gaps exist when beneficiaries have expenses that outpace the amount which Medicare is willing to reimburse for those services. In order to counter these gaps and help seniors avoid paying high costs out of pocket, Medigap insurance plans were developed as extra coverage that seniors could purchase to help with extra costs related to their medical care.
These plans are offered by private Medigap insurance companies and can vary depending upon the state a beneficiary lives in. No company is required to provide all the policies to its beneficiaries, but is instead free to pick and choose the plans they will provide in their region or state.
Community Rated Pricing: Everyone with the same plan pays the same price regardless of age. Prices only changed based upon inflation and other outside factors.
Issue Age Rated Pricing: Individuals pay a premium based upon their age when they purchase the plan. The younger an individual is, the lower the premium. Prices will not go up because of age, but will increase due to inflation and other factors.
Attained Age Rated Pricing: Premiums are determined based upon an individual’s age at the time of purchase and goes up as the beneficiary ages. Inflation and other factors can also lead to premium increases.
Medigap insurance companies vary from state to state and not all companies operate in every state. The best way to find the companies that offer Medigap policies in your area is to go to the official site of Medicare. Here individuals can enter basic information about themselves along with their ZIP code, and receive a list of Medigap insurance companies in their area.
Medigap insurance companies operate under the direction of the CMS, making it easier for Medicare beneficiaries to search for policies available in their area. When searching for a company and a plan, seniors need to keep in mind the cost of any policy they choose, not only now but in the future. It is important for beneficiaries to select a policy from a provider that will give them all the extra coverage they need in order to avoid high out of pocket costs.

Development data science institute ConvergeHealth by Deloitte and pharmaceutical company Takeda have partnered to study datasets which would help them better understand the etiology, progression and most effective therapies for difficult diseases.
The researchers made use of insurance claims data which included diagnoses, medical procedures and prescriptions to run linear and non-linear models on disease datasets like treatment-resistant depression. Their objective was to determine data factors with the highest effect on predicting patient outcomes.
By combining the right data and the right questions, the organizations improved the predictability of deep learning models, allowing for the analysis of wider and more complex data sets and a better understanding of patient trajectories.
They also identified potential for these machine-learning techniques for use on other difficult to diagnose diseases, to determine what patients are more prone to these illnesses and the best courses for personalized treatment.
Dan Housman, chief technology officer at ConvergeHealth by Deloitte explained that in cases of severe depression, patients usually tried several medications before they find one that actually works. He added that the testing process can be very challenging for patients and their psychiatrists.
The approach is "prescribed after other medications did not work in what is deemed a treatment resistant patient, he added. “We’re interested in looking at depression patients and their journey between treatments to better understand which patients may fall into the treatment resistant category and when a certain switch will be sustained without further switches."
Both organizations made use of claims data sets with machine learning to develop predictive models to identify patients who may be resistant and the medications or classes of depression medications for patients to switch between.
“Predicting who will likely fail or succeed with a drug is a very challenging problem to determine given the many nuances in medical records," he added.
Patient histories include related temporal events, comorbidities, diagnostic pathways and procedures. So the organizations worked through data science and machine learning, ultimately testing deep learning methods to determine the predictability of medication switches and determine if they could isolate patterns useful for practicing medicine.
"We’re generally looking to use AI, machine learning and deep learning to demonstrate that we can predict a future event in a data set with good accuracy, while also looking to understand the factors or patterns in the data that are important for driving that prediction," Housman said.
"We used traditional machine learning models that are able to identify among the thousands of potential features in a patient record both which ones are most predictive and given the ensemble of many features what the prediction is of an event happening," he added.
The data scientists do this by turning the data they have available into training and test data sets. The training data allows them to hone models. The test data allows them to see how those models perform against data where they already know the results but don't provide them to the algorithm. This allows them to measure how accurate the models are.
Historically it's been difficult, expensive and time-consuming to run machine learning experiments on large data sets because low-cost, high-performance computing was not available on demand. To execute these capabilities, the organizations needed to solve a number of scaling problems with computing and also needed tools for executing the analyses.
Housman said the results of the application of the various artificial intelligence methods were promising.
The researchers said they were encouraged that the models using different techniques demonstrated increasing predictive power. In treatment resistant depression they found that AUC went at a low of 55.1% in traditional linear models, to 90.2 % NN deep learning models.

In August 2014, I posted an article about the Department of Justice (DOJ) under the Obama Administration distributing funds from fines imposed on banks to political leftist groups. The article explains that the Bank of America was forced to pay fines that Countrywide Mortgage and Merrill Lynch had incurred before they were owned by Bank of America.
This was the government equivalent of a mob shakedown.
Yesterday The Daily Caller posted an article about this practice.
The internal DOJ documents represent the latest revelation in a two-year investigation spearheaded by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte.
The more I learn about some of the actions of the Obama Administration, the more I wonder why Congress did not address some of the wrongdoings as they were going on.

A great cast including Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson and Awkwafina has already been lined up to be the female thieves in Ocean’s Eight. However, the heist team needs someone to go up against, and now they’ve found them in the form of Damian Lewis.
Variety reports that he’s in final talks to play the villain in the movie. Plot details are still being kept secret, so it’s not known exactly what Lewis will be doing, but he’ll presumably be causing trouble for Bullock and co. Dakota Johnson also stars, while Matt Damon is reported to be making a cameo, to help connect the film to the other Ocean’s movie.
Hunger Games helmer Gary Ross recently started shooting the movie New York. Steven Soderbergh, who directed the Ocean’s 11 trilogy, will produce.
I doubt that when the team that created the TV version of Horrible Histories were putting the show together they thought that what they were making would not only became one of the most popular children’s series in the UK, but would also have massive crossover appeal, with adults tuning in for the educational silliness. The same team then went on to create the puppety fantasy of Yonderland, and have now gone cinematic with Bill.
Do we need another movie version of Romeo and Juliet? Well, director Carlo Carlei obviously thinks so as he’s helmed a new version starring Hailee Steinfeld, Douglas Booth, Damian Lewis, Paul Giamatti, Ed Westwick, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Stellan Skarsgard.
The film was show quite a few months ago, but it’s only now we’re getting to see the first trailer, which lays the period renaissance detail and Shakespearean language on thick. It’s certainly going to be pretty (and not just because Douglas Booth is in it), but it remains to be seen whether, after Franco Zeferelli and Baz Luhrmann’s versions, we really need another one now.
The film will be out in the UK on July 26th.

I really like the 4runner and think about buying one. I have about 5k to spend... What can I expect for my money? I want to use it mostly for touring, but some offroad will be involved.
What about the engines, are they reliable? I need a car that does not burn all my money on fuel. if it's not the fastest: no problem, as long as it is reliable.
