Illustrated. 783 pages. Random House. $29.95.
The title of David Halberstam's powerful new book, ''The Children,'' refers to the eight black college students who found themselves leading the new phase of the civil rights movement that began with the lunch counter sit-ins in Nashville in February 1960.
Mr. Halberstam had wanted to tell the story of the children since he covered the sit-ins on one of his first newspaper jobs, reporting for The Nashville Tennessean. ''I suppose I started work on this book some 43 years ago,'' he writes in a concluding note, which means he had the project in mind even as he wrote his first 14 books, the best known of which are ''The Best and the Brightest,'' about Vietnam; ''The Powers That Be,'' about the news media, and ''The Reckoning,'' about the automobile industry.
That he carried the story around with him so long seems reflected in the way his new book reads, with its driving novelistic narrative and its point of view so close to that of its heroes and heroines. The prose may be clunky at times (''He wanted to make even in smaller ways the city more complete''), but their adventures are told with such passionate conviction that the reader is transfixed. It is as if Mr. Halberstam had absorbed their history into his being and then poured it out as his own.
What inspired him soon becomes evident. In one compelling vignette after another, he reveals how much the children had to overcome, not only in the violence of the white South, but also in both the fears of their parents and the indifference of the black bourgeoisie. Their persistence in the face of humiliation is admirable. Their sense of self-worth in the face of withering scorn is humbling. The commitment to Gandhian nonviolence brings tears to the eyes.
Yet Mr. Halberstam never huffs and puffs about these virtues. He simply piles detail upon detail, like the story of how Mr. Lawson as a boy was converted to nonviolence by his mother after he had slapped another child who had called him an ugly name. How Ms. Nash, during her first arrest, felt her fear turn into a growing anger. Or how it felt to several demonstrators to be beaten very nearly to death.
The accumulation of personal histories and anecdotes makes a very thick book seem short, particularly through the first two parts of what Mr. Halberstam has shaped as a three-act drama. Book I, ''The Children,'' tells the story of the Nashville sit-ins and ends with Ms. Nash successfully challenging Mayor Ben West to back desegregation of the lunch counters. Book II, ''The Valley of the Shadow of Death,'' tells of the Freedom Rides to desegregate interstate buses, and reaches a climax with President Lyndon B. Johnson's signing the Voting Rights Bill into law on Aug. 6, 1965.
Only in Book III, ''Coming Home,'' does the pace of the narrative begin to flag somewhat. This has more to do with the history of the civil rights movement than with any lack in Mr. Halberstam's storytelling skills. For once legislation was passed, the next steps in the attainment of a fully equal society lay beyond the scope of his narrative. Moreover, because the movement recognized how much more was still to be done, it began to break up into contending camps, with some in the movement growing impatient with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s generation and others even dissenting from its nonviolent beliefs.
So in the final section of his book, Mr. Halberstam narrows his focus and tells what became of the children later in their lives. This is enlightening in the many cases in which they weathered the breakup of the movement and overcame daunting new challenges. But the story grows long-winded in places and downright dispiriting in its account of the decline and fall of Marion Barry Jr., one of the original eight, after he was elected Mayor of Washington.
What's more, the slowing pace gives the reader a chance to wonder if Mr. Halberstam wouldn't have been wiser to look at some of the segregationists as intensely as he does the children. Granted, stick villains like Eugene (Bull) Connor, the Public Safety Commissioner in Birmingham, Ala., and Jim Clark, Sheriff of Selma, Ala., and James G. Stahlman, editor of the reactionary Nashville Banner, not only helped the civil rights cause by focusing for the American public everything that was wrong with the segregationist cause, but also serve to intensify Mr. Halberstam's story. All the same, wouldn't a deeper portrait of the opposition have enriched the reader's understanding of why the South was so profoundly changed once the movement succeeded?
But this is to speculate about a book Mr. Halberstam has not written when the one he has written is very satisfying indeed. And if the careers that his heroes and heroines later achieved seem sometimes ordinary in comparison with their early successes, isn't this exactly what they were fighting for? To succeed or fail purely on their merits and not because of a playing field designed for them to lose: isn't this what the crusade Mr. Halberstam has so absorbingly described was finally all about?

Noice Industries Launches Active Shooter Response detects a gunshot and deploys a crash resistant UAS to stop an active shooter within seconds of the first shot.
United States – 03-28-2019 (PRDistribution.com) — The main objective of Active Shooter Response is to stop or deter an active shooter, during those crucial moments after the first shot is fired and before first responders arrive.
The solution is initiated by a state-of-the-art gunshot detector and includes a UAS pilot integrated into the security team. The 14” diameter crash resistant UAS called a “Snipe”, is placed in a secure but quickly deployable position inside buildings, halls, classrooms, parking lots, theaters, malls, churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, night clubs, any public or private facilities. A “Snipe” can also be deployed through a window or a small opening. The UAS carries a non-lethal counter measure (pepper spray), and our pilots are experts at flying “Snipe” indoors fast, in confined spaces.
Active Shooter Response initiates a mass shooter notification that starts with 911 and includes administration, onsite security, management, employees, faculty, contractors, students and our pilot. The pilot receives an alert with the location of the shots fired and this initiates the non-lethal UAS response.
Administration, onsite security, and the UAS pilot operate on “Pointer” our tactical application, that puts information in the right hands at the right time. The Pointer provides communication and collaboration single dashboard based on their defined role, responsibility and location.
“Snipe” also carries a camera that streams video from inside the facility in real time, delivering images of the shooter, the weapon, the victims and potential victims. This situational awareness is useful for both onsite security and first responders in deciding how they are going engage the shooter and deal with the situation.
Active Shooter Response includes options like social media monitoring or smart sensors that provide wide range of detection capabilities, facial recognition, license plate identification motion, vibration, sound, smells, gases, balance, temperature, radiation and electrical voltage.
These high-tech detection and early warning systems are safer, less expensive, and more productive than a human or physical barrier, and provides mission-critical feedback to people in the area and any personnel that need to be notified.
Active Shooter Response is low cost and can be configured to fit the needs of the client. The system is manufacturer agnostic, allowing clients the flexibility to integrate with almost any security system currently installed.
Noice Industries is doing a media launch on March 30, 5p.m. at 950 W. Alondra Blvd., across from Tomorrow’s Aeronautic Museum, or the Compton Airport. Noice in is also exhibiting and ISC-West, April 10-12 at the Sands in Las Vegas and hosting a media conference at our booth #40833 at 11a.m. on April 11.
Noice Industries secures all physical infrastructure, including access control, airspace, buildings, connected devices (IoT), facilities, equipment, land, operational technologies (OT) and property. Noice Industries produces autonomous and turnkey surveillance solutions that deliver actionable intelligence and situational awareness in real-time, from confined spaces or critical infrastructure to the most difficult and remote locations. We utilize UAS and smart sensors to provide continuous day and night aerial, all-terrain, marine, sub-terrain, indoor, outdoor surveillance solutions.

Winters are almost coming to an end and the days are getting a little warmer, the sun is shining bright again and soon you will see the bright blue sky turning in to a colourful one with a number of kites flying high. This concludes that the festival of ‘Makar Sankranti’ is right around the corner. Let us learn something more about this festival other than flying kites.
Makar Sankranti is a festival known for flying kites and eating sesame sweets. This day is said to mark the end of the winters and beginning of spring in our country, bringing joy for the farmers of getting new crops. From now on the days will be longer than the nights.
Why Is The Significance Of Flying Kites On Makar Sankranti?
The tradition of flying kites during Makar Sankranti is followed all over in the country and lately has spread in many parts of the world. But this festival not only brings fun but also a number of health benefits. Flying kites gives us a healthy exposure in the sun from early morning and the early sun rays are known to be a rich source of Vitamin D. Since winter brings a lot of sickness, the sun rays are known to wipe them all.
Why Do We Eat Sesame Sweets?
Tilgud laddoos or sesame sweets infused with jaggery are made particularly during this festival. This Maharashtrain sweet is distributed amongst loved ones along with the saying, ‘Tilgud ghya aani goad goad bola’. This translates to, have sesame and jiggery sweets and speak sweet words. The distribution of these sweets signifies bonding and forgetting the ill from the past. Another scientific importance of having sesame sweets is that it helps in keeping our bodies warm by providing the necessary amount of oil which also provides moisture during the winters.
The state of Gujarat hosts International Kite Flying Festival every year, which was initiated in 1989, draws maximum attraction from the rest of the world. About 150 delegates from 44 countries, including the UK, South Korea, New Zealand, China, Indonesia and Malaysia, arrive here to be a part of this event. A number of kite enthusiasts from all over India as well as from Ahmedabad itself flock here in numbers to display their unique collection of kites. This is the reason why the state of Gujarat is largely associated with the kite flying festival.
How To Involve Your Child In Various Rituals Associated With The Festival?
While you get busy in making sesame sweets, ensure your child has a lot of fun flying various sorts of colourful kites in the blue sky.

Snow has started falling in the mountains and that means tax season is looming for everyone.
That is why today I am speaking with Parker and Aimee McAbery, owners and certified public accountants for San Jaun Accounting. Aimee and Parker are both number dynamos as well as adventure seekers. Oh, and they're also a happily married couple.
You both ran the Imogene Pass Run and I've seen you hiking on numerous mountain hikes. What other adventurous things do you two do?
In addition to trail running and hiking, we enjoy back country skiing, nordic skiing, backpacking and traveling.
Where are from and what brought you to Ridgway?
Parker grew up in Tulsa, Okla., and Aimee grew up in Golden, Colo. We moved to Ridgway like so many others for the mountains, serenity, and quality of life.
What made you both say "accounting!" for a career?
Aimee: I have always been a very detail oriented individual and numbers have always made sense to me, so after finishing high school, I enrolled in the accounting program at the University of Illinois. I really enjoyed my accounting classes and therefore pursued a degree in accounting. After receiving a bachelors in accountancy, I obtained my CPA certification.
Parker: I grew up in an entrepreneurial family. I was involved in the family business from a young age, which sparked my interest to pursue a career in business. I attended the University of Colorado's Business School. After a couple of accounting courses, I decided accounting was for me. I enrolled in the accounting program and graduated with a bachelors and masters in accounting. I then obtained my CPA certification.
What advantages does a husband/wife accounting team have that others may not?
We have always worked well together. We actually met while working at PricewaterhouseCoopers, a Big 4 Accounting Firm. We really enjoy working together, as we are able to bounce ideas off of each other, discuss tax strategies and implications, and take advantage of our different specialties.
I feel most people think they need to own a business to get the full advantages an accountant has to offer. What can you as accountants offer those who just get a paycheck and maybe own a home with their personal finances?
There are several tax benefits for individual taxpayers, such as real estate exchanges, IRA contributions, Health Savings Accounts, the Sale of Primary Residence exclusion, etc. As a CPA we can help individual taxpayers take advantage of tax benefits through individual tax planning.
What is the one bit of advice you would give to people such as me who feel they can do their own personal taxes every year?
Many people like to complete their own taxes rather than hiring a CPA. Oftentimes, taxpayers, completing their own return, fail to take advantage of a variety of tax benefits such as Health Savings Accounts, Tax Credits, Donating Appreciated Property, IRA Contributions, etc. As a CPA, we are required to keep current on the continually changing tax code. Therefore, in completing your return, we can ensure that you take advantage of all applicable tax benefits.
When should someone start thinking about their taxes, or should people always be thinking about their taxes?
Taxpayers should always be thinking about tax matters such as, quarterly estimated payments, adequate W-2 withholdings, real estate exchange implications and IRA contributions. There are many ways to minimize tax liabilities through tax planning.
Tax season is approaching, how do people get in touch with you?
The best way to contact us is via phone. Our office phone number is 626-4446.

Kim Profant, a copy editor on the national/foreign desk at The Chicago Tribune, is the winner of the 2011 Robinson Prize, presented at the American Copy Editors Society’s national conference April 12-14 in New Orleans.
The honor recognizes substantial contributions to the craft of copy editing and excellence in overall copy editing skills.
Werner also praised her collaborative nature and generosity as a colleague, as well as her ability to identify processes that don’t work as well as they should and make suggestions to better them.
Profant is “a first-rate journalist” who “loves what we do here,” Werner said.
Michael Roehrman of The Wichita Eagle, who led the judging panel, presented the Robinson Prize to Profant at the annual conference banquet on April 13. The other judges were last year’s Robinson Prize winner, Andy Angelo of The Grand Rapids (Mich.) Press; Paula Devlin of NOLA.com; and Helen I. Rouce of the U.S. Department of State.
The Robinson Prize, which was first awarded in 2006, is named for Pam Robinson, a co-founder of ACES and the society’s first president. The winner receives $3,000 and an engraved glass plaque.

I got my BFP a few days ago and by calculations I am around 7weeks!! I would love some tips on what to avoid now I am pregnant!
You're 7 week pregnant, and all of a sudden it's open house for digestive distress (they're like the guests who won't leave the party - and this party's got almost six months to go!). It figures that just when you care most about getting the right nutrients into your body, your body is trying every trick in the book to keep them out. Luckily, your brain can outsmart your body by subbing healthy equivalents for the unhealthy foods you crave, the ones you can't down (or keep down), or the ones that make you feel like a flotation device. Try the following bait-and-switches next time pregnancy symptoms get in the way of eating well.Cravings: Some expectant moms love sweets and some love salt (and some have room in their hearts — and stomachs — for both), but sometimes there is such a thing as loving too much. Luckily, for every sweet or salty junk food on the menu, there's a healthier choice that (coupled with a little, or sometimes a lot, of willpower) can keep your taste buds — and your baby — happy. Waiting for your chip to come in? Don't wait — just substitute soy chips or baked potato or taco chips for greasy varieties. Or munch your way through some air-popped popcorn (tossed with some Parmesan for that salty kick you crave), rice cakes, pretzels, or lightly salted edamame. Is your inner chocoholic clamoring to come out? Satisfy it with a cup of hot chocolate (that you've made with skim milk) or a single-serving Fudgsicle instead of that king-sized Snickers. You're screaming for ice cream? Scream for frozen yogurt instead (and top yours with fresh berries to score nutritional brownie points).
Aversions: You know you need your protein, but you've had a falling out with meat (and chicken, and fish…) — and now you can't be in the same room together, never mind share a plate. You'll eventually patch up the relationship, but until then, pick up protein from more palatable sources, including cottage cheese, yogurt, beans, or soy products (especially tofu or edamame). Or consider quinoa, a nutty grain that packs a super punch of protein in a comforting package. If it's leafy greens that turn you a not-so-delicate shade of chartreuse, become a yellow belly. Yellow vegetables are often easier to take, so try carrots or yams, or go for the beta-carotene in cantaloupe, mango, peaches, and apricots.
Gas: It's like a cosmic joke — some of the healthiest foods can leave you gassier than the Goodyear blimp … and not at all in the mood to eat your veggies. Opt instead for healthy substitutions that won't bring on the bloat (mango instead of broccoli, strawberries instead of cabbage). Pop bagel chips instead of potato chips, and poached chicken breast instead of those once-beloved chicken fingers. And here's a really simple way to deflate those tummy bubbles: Instead of sparkling water, opt for plain.
Morning sickness: Still suffering from morning sickness (which sadly isn't limited to the mornings at all, unless you count mornings in every time zone)? Will you scream if you even have to look at another saltine? Fortunately, you have options. Dry and bland are the key here, but that describes more than a cracker: Dry cereal, pretzels, rice cakes, well-toasted bread, and bread sticks are all suitable for the bedside table (watch out for crumbs in your bed) or handbag stashing.
Hi dear. It is the greatest gift for a woman to be a mother. But no one knows about the problems faced by a woman in the first 9 months of pregnancy. If the woman does not take care of her properly, then it is difficult for the child born in the womb. For a woman, the first 3 months of pregnancy are quite challenging because the child is not fully developed till this time. You'll probably get away with wearing your regular clothes for the first trimester, but once you start to show, don't go rushing to spend your whole maternity budget right away. opt for a pair or two of pants (or use a belly band that allows you to rock the unbuttoned pants look without anyone knowing) and some longer shirts. By the time you're in the third trimester, with your belly and baby a much bigger size, you'll probably need to head back to the maternity store to get larger sizes. Buying in stages will help save you money and keep you comfortable throughout the whole nine months. There are pregnancy scare stories all over the place. Stay away from Googling all those strange symptoms that are normal when you're pregnant and take your concerns right to your qualified doctor, who can help ease your anxieties. We all know some symptoms are expected with pregnancy, including fatigue, nausea, and some aches and pains. But just because you're pregnant, it doesn't mean you need to deal with those symptoms in silence. You don't need to count your calories and worry about every pound. Chat with your care provider to make sure you're following all the advice as far as what your weight gain goal should be. It's actually great to fit exercise into your day. I hope the tips will help.
Hello there! I hope the mother and the child are doing well so far! Congratulations on starting the great journey. I hope your 7 weeks went smooth. You might have to face some more challenges as time goes by. Eating healthy and getting proper rest is really important. Please visit your doctor regularly. You might feel nauseous which is just a common side effect, for that keep eating healthy and there's no harm indulging in your cravings a bit. As long as they are appropriate. You also might have temper issues and mood swings which are just your hormones messing up a little. Although your doctor may suggest himself/herself, vaccinations are important too. You cant really afford getting sick while being pregnant. Getting vaccinated is important for your child as well. Avoid alcohol and caffeine as they can interfere with your child's well being. Yoga can help you a great deal to stay healthy and mindful. These are the few important tips I could come up with. I hope they'll help you. Go a little easy on yourself because its just your first trimester. Consult your doctor whenever you feel something isnt going well. Wish you all the best. You've got 6 more months to go so I hope they go well and smooth. Take good care!
Hey, Congratulations!!!Have a happy healthy pregnancy. It is totally normal to think all pregnant women worry. Don't worry all about your pregnancy you will miss being pregnant and the feel like.. Do enjoy the time being pregnant.All I can say is try not to worry and enjoy being pregnant it's the best thing ever and your worries will ease a little when you have your scans, your bump starts growing and you start feeling movements and kicks each day, your still at early stage where you cant see or feel anything which makes you worry more but your worries will ease when you feel your little one kick you in your ribs and believe me you will know about it. Enjoy your pregnancy and Good Luck!!Best Wishes I hope you will have a very healthy happy pregnancy.No stress, no anxiety eat well healthy take care of your self.
Hey Mar26. Congratulations on your pregnancy sweetie. So you are in your first trimester. Becoming a mother is the best time of any woman's life. I know those 9 months are very hard, but trust me, you will forget everything when you will see your little miracle, So its time for your advice, Now you have to remove all the bad things from your diet, no more unhealthy food. It's better if you only eat food cooked at home by yourself or anyone else. You have to avoid junk food, oily stuff, fizzy drinks, Smoking and Alcohol. You also have to take care of your posture when you are doing everything. Any little Mistake can ruin your pregnancy. If you want to relax then join a yoga class maybe or go for a massage every week. Whatever you do, don't push yourself too hard and yes don't take stress about anything. Stress is a very bad thing for you and your baby. I hope everything goes well for you sweetie! Good Luck! Much Love!

Hi Honey, Hope you are doing good. Congratulations, I am very happy to hear from you. I know this is very precious time. You need to care about your health. As you know at the start sometimes we feel nervous and sometimes we feel shy to come in front of anyone. So just relax. You are really a lucky guy and I appreciate your trust that you share with us. Make proper diet plan never give complain to yourself. You need healthy died now this is time to prepare a healthy baby. one thing more I want to discuss. Please, always care about those things which are used in miscarriage. sometimes due to unplanned pregnancy, some people don't want the baby that time and they each such food that helps in MC. so that you please beware of that food. I am really excited for you. Hope you got my points. GOD Blessed you.
Congratulations! Every pregnant women must be really cautious on what they do and what they eat because it can all affect the child in they're carrying in their womb. Some people even suggest to take probiotics during pregnancy and breastfeeding to make sure that the right nutrients needed by the mother and her child are properly supplied.
Congratulation for conceiving because it guarantees that you will become a mother soon. However, there are things that you should do if you want to carry the pregnancy to full term. Also, there are plenty of things you should avoid so that you successfully carry and deliver the baby. Notice that the first weeks of pregnancy are critical since the body spends most of the time building the baby. This is the time when the fertilized egg is dividing itself into layers of cells after it has implanted itself on the uterine wall. Typically, the cells will be dividing fast meaning that the baby will be growing faster. You need to eat a balanced diet as well as supplements because the infrastructure for the bones and the muscles will be developing. In the 8th week, it is important that you start your antenatal program. This way, it ensures that your baby will be kept safe. Notice that there are things you can do during pregnancy which will affect the baby. So when you start the antenatal program, your midwife will be able to explain some of the things in details. The midwives are experienced and knowledgeable and have a lot of tips to help you cope with pregnancy. Remember there are issues that will start affecting you including going through morning sickness sessions, indigestion and cramps during the first trimester. They’re always challenging to new mothers and so it is important that you get some timely advice on the right things to do.
You should start taking antenatal classes to know the details of prenatal care if you can't go to classes an online course on maternity care is available on Abudo's website related to health education for antenatal mother this will probably help you out.
congratulations from my side , Its completely normal to feel like this.I think every new mum worries from the start and as you progress you will worry about different things, baby's movements, size and most of all the labour.

MEAGER rainfall totals show a huge decrease in wet weather for Rockhampton with experts forecasting limited rain on the horizon.
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, Rocky received 16.8mm of rain in March- more than 65 per cent less than the average for this time of year.
This was a drastic difference to March 2017 where Cyclone Debbie dropped 402.88mm on Rocky residents, with the heaviest day drenching 80.4mm on March 29, 2017.
Coming off the back of an intense heatwave in February, the city sweltered through a top of 35 degrees at the beginning of March with no rain to alleviate the heat.
Weather forecaster at BoM, Chris Joseph, said the beginning of April had a similar outlook with limited rain on the horizon.
Mr Jospeh said with ex-Tropical Cyclone Iris breaking up across the Queensland Peninsular, Central Queensland was likely to miss out on the falls.
Rockhampton was due to receive around 5mm to 10mm of rain over the next eight days with parts of the Central Highlands expected to see slightly more- around 25 to 50mm.
Coming into the weekend, Saturday had the highest chance of rainfall in the city, most likely in the afternoon and evening with clouds clearing by Monday.
Yeppoon also recorded a drastic difference in rainfall for March 2018 with just 93mm recorded compared to 613mm in 2017.
The Capricorn Coast was also expected to receive some light falls, between 1mm to 4mm, with daytime temperatures hitting around 30 degrees.
Although parts of the Central Highlands saw a more modest rainfall comparison, Emerald still recorded next to nothing for March this year.
Compared to 204mm in 2017, the mining town recorded only 4mm in the entire month.
Emerald could expect a possible late shower today with a top of 32 degrees over the weekend.

A striking canopy of coast live oaks and pines set the stage for your arrival as you journey to the top of the hill, where a gently sloped and remarkably large building envelope awaits an exceptional residence to grace the land. Rolling hill views of Teháma and the Clubhouse to the north and surrounding forested hillsides and mountain vistas accent the expansive property, which is inundated with sunlight throughout the day by virtue of its setting atop its own peak. Maintaining a subtle sense of seclusion amid a forest of trees that descend the canyons in every direction, The Hilltop evokes an atmosphere of both prestige and intimacy on a homesite that serves as a bona fide Teháma centerpiece.

Mega-Clean, Mega-Fast Protein on the Go! Gold Salmon Pro is the highest quality North Atlantic salmon protein hydrolysate (SPH, ProGo™), providing instantly absorbable amino acids with an optimum profile. By creating this unique amino acid product, experts from Olimp Born in the Gym® dealing with advanced nutrition of athletes overcame the limitations imposed on consumers by products based on whey protein and its hydrolysate.
Gold Salmon Pro is the highest quality North Atlantic salmon protein hydrolysate (SPH, ProGo™), providing instantly absorbable amino acids with an optimum profile. By creating this unique amino acid product, experts from Olimp Born in the Gym® dealing with advanced nutrition of athletes overcame the limitations imposed on consumers by products based on whey protein and its hydrolysate.
Why choose Gold Salmon Pro over other amino acid products?
2. Gold Salmon Pro has a high content of exogenous amino acids (EAA), including BCAA.
3. Gold Salmon Pro has a unique amino acid profile, with a particularly high content of L-arginine (Arg) and L-proline (Pro), respectively 3 and 6 times higher compared to whey protein hydrolysate (WPH).
It has been proven that L-arginine: increases the synthesis of growth factors (poliamines) participating in the growth of tissue, and, as proven by clinical research, promotes protein synthesis in the body. Together with glycine and L-methionine it is also involved in the synthesis of creatine. In scientific literature we can find reports on the impact of Arg on the increase of secretion of the growth hormone (clinical tests on healthy men; iii).
- L-proline (Pro). The content is approximately 6 times higher than in whey proteins. The most important, from the point of view of using this amino acid in bodybuilding and sports, is undoubtedly the ability of Pro to regulate mTOR kinase activity (iv ), which integrates many important signaling pathways initiated by important factors, such as insulin or insulin-like growth factors (IGF I and IGF II; v, vi, ) Other studies (vii) show that the increase in proline content in the diet by 2.1% results in an intensification of daily body weight gain from 342 to 411 g/day, which is 20 %! The reason for such a substantial change was the increased retention of nitrogen in the cells caused by Pro - from 1.27 to 1.53 g/kg of body weight.
4. Research shows that ProGo™, administered for 42 days at a dose of 16g/day, causes an increase in the level of hemoglobin by 14.9% and reduces the BMI by 5.9% (viii), thus it has an important role in the prevention of obesity and anemia.
5. ProGo™ has been produced in a way to reduce the fish smell to a minimum.
What can I expect from Gold Salmon Pro tablets?

Before arriving in Iceland, I (the ever-skeptical New Yorker) was troubled by the idea that a good percentage of the population still believed in elves. By the time I left, however, there was no question of why they would think this, and maybe I did a little as well?
Iceland, which I visited alongside my friend Vanessa this past March, was one of the most otherwordly experiences I've ever had. Sometimes, we felt like we were driving on the moon: a white-out of snow, shining silver in the sun's reflection, with pockets of steam erupting from the earth below. Ten minutes later, the moonscape we were just on a distant memory, we would find ourselves in a moss field, a bright green blanket covering ancient volcanic lumps and bumps, and couldn't help but think: these crevaces would be perfect for the elves to dwell. Then on to flat black lava fields, and further east to the pitch-black sand beaches near Jökulsárlón, sprinked with bits of calved icebergs, there was no lack of reminder of how volatile, and how special, the quiet island actually was.
From a photographic perspective, Iceland was a dream come true: the island is bursting with reindeer, ponies, seals, swans, orcas, and puffins, so there is no shortage of beautiful, mythical creatures to capture. GoPro video in hand, we tolted (a special gait that only Icelandic ponies can do, somewhere in between a trot and a canter) through the same land as the vikings, so many centuries ago, on the very same breed of pony. Fun fact: no livestock is allowed to be imported to Iceland, and if a pony ever leaves Iceland, it is never allowed to return. Iceland's epic landscapes, such as the indescribably huge icebergs in Jökulsárlón, to the waterfalls of Skaftafell, bring interesting challenges, both in terms of perspective and capturing the colors you see.
Perhaps the most incredible photographic challenge, however, was that of capturing the northern lights. The elusive, sneaky, dancing colors in the sky are hard to predict, hard to spot, and fast to move. With our ISO set to 1600, lens on infinity, and shutter speed at 15 seconds, however, we managed to capture some incredible footage of these as well!
Next time I return to Iceland, I plan to go at an even colder time of year (true story: I was wearing three winter coats in March), so that I might get into the ice caves of Skaftafell before they melt and capture some more of those northern lights at their very brightest.

The vinification of the Pinot Blanc Grand Reserve 2015 took place in the last days of November 2017. The wine has been active on the yeast for 24 months in the cellar that has a stable temperature of 16°. The limit of the alcoholic fermentation is reached now and the natural carbonic acid that was in the wine has disappeared. At this point, the wine may be filtrated and is ready to present its full potential.
When bottled, the wine needs to rest for another 6 months until it will be ready for sale in spring 2018. Then, the latest edition of this wine will be part of our wine selection. This wine represents most of the sand-lime brick at Lake Neusiedl. It is one of the wines of Weingut Schandl that stands out and is valued by experts.
The Pinot Blanc has been in the steel tank for almost two years. The yeast has settled almost completely. Only a little part is still active in the wine, which makes it seem cloudy.
The taste of the yeast is superficial, but Paul Schandl already notes the special characteristics that will later turn this youthful wine into the completed Pinot Gris 2015.
Our Pinot Gris is cultivated next to the vineyard Ritter, at the northernmost, highest and some say most beautiful place, the vineyard Umriss. We only produce the “Pinot Blanc Grand Reserve” three or four times per decade depending on weather conditions.

A series of spoons, knives, forks, and chopsticks have all been designed to rest on your table without getting it dirty.
“Would you like to keep your fork?” It’s the worst question to get from a waiter as he takes my plate. My fork is resting on my dish for a good reason. The prongs are covered in the bright viscousness of my own gluttony, and I don’t want to spread that saucy shame all over the restaurant’s nice table.
But Cantilever flatware, by the two-man design team iLoveHandles, makes this plate-or-table debate a thing of the past. It’s a set of eating utensils, including a knife, fork, spoon, chopsticks, and spatula, that can dig deep and dirty into your food, but then rest on the table with the messy bits hovering above the surface.
Designing the spoon and fork were relatively simple: Since each is already angled, the challenge was just to tweak the angle to make it float. The knife proved tougher. “The puzzle was basically how to make something that is flat float above the surface–without adding a clunky support,” Moore writes. The answer wasn’t immediately obvious, and it wasn’t until taking a trip on a plane or train–Moore can’t remember which, but credits a lot of his ideas to these sorts of commutes–that he realized one half of the knife could taper like a triangle, while the other side would be normal and flat. He drew up some sketches, sent them to his partner Avik, and they began 3-D prototyping.
Luckily, iLoveHandles found the right taker for the job. And now, their flatware ($25), chopsticks ($5), and cooking utensils ($15) can all be ordered from their site.

The next time you see Tilda Swinton, it will be in Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom, a story of love and revelation set in 1960s New England. And if the phenomenal, Oscar-winning Scottish actress has her way, it may be her last movie for quite a while.
Tilda, 51, has made 24 films in the last 15 years and crossed over from art-house icon to world-famous box-office draw. But she’s a firm believer in the fresh start. In 1997, she upped sticks for the spectacular natural surroundings of the Scottish Highlands, where she still lives. And this year she’s taking a breather to enjoy her enviable Arts and Crafts home and dream up the next adventure.
Tilda Swinton must be an expert at entertaining. There seems to be a steady flow of guests who make the pilgrimage to her home in the fishing port of Nairn, in the northeast fringe of the Scottish Highlands, where she lives with her artist boyfriend, Sandro Kopp, and her teenage twins, Xavier and Honor. The gossipy taxi driver who picks me up from the tiny airport in Inverness – the nearest to Nairn – one brisk November afternoon says I’ve missed Viktor & Rolf by only a couple of days. The Dutch fashion designers have been friends with the Oscar-winning actress since she performed in their Tilda-themed catwalk show in 2003. And just a few weeks before their visit, Brad Pitt took time off from filming in Glasgow to pay his Burn After Reading co-star a house call (Angelina came too). So when Tilda draws up at my hotel in an aged Land Rover full of springer spaniels, wearing a corduroy hacking jacket, cotton breeches, swathes of muslin scarf and a very tall pair of wellington boots, it should come as no surprise that she has a fun day out in store.
“Oh, good, you’re wearing trainers,” she says, gesturing with one arm for me to clamber into the front seat while she restrains an eager puppy with the other.
“I haven’t checked the tides, but it’s a fan-tas-tic day. I thought we could go down the beach for a walk.” The beach is the magnificent Culbin Sands, a vast strip of unspoiled shoreline along the Moray Firth. Extremely flat with the tide out, the Sands is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and an important nature reserve owned by Britain’s Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Eider ducks, common scoters and ringed plovers are all ‘star species’ now at risk along this silvery coastline.
For the last three years, Tilda Swinton has been the ambassador for PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND, the Scottish luxury fashion knitwear company whose cropped-back, three-quarter-length-sleeve top she wears here.
Not that all the early upheaval encouraged her to stay put at Kimmerghame and marry a nobleman. Tilda attended three different schools in London and Edinburgh, then studied social and political sciences at Cambridge University. There, her enthusiastic participation in experimental theatre led to acceptance into the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford and then the Traverse Theatre Company in Edinburgh. In 1984, she finally settled in London, and the following year, she struck up her famous collaboration with the artist, filmmaker and gay activist Derek Jarman, whom she met at a casting for his 1986 masterpiece Caravaggio. Jarman was instantly enthralled by Tilda, according to the film’s production designer, Christopher Hobbs. “For the first time, Derek found in front of his camera a natural film star,” he said in 2003, “someone the camera absolutely adored. She was very poised; she came from a rather grand background, so she knew how. She was bored with being a deb and so did all these parts where she dressed with a moustache and rags.” Jarman went on to cast her in six more of his films, including the incendiary The Last of England (1988), Edward II (1991) and Blue (1993), for which she provided one of the voices. She was often at Prospect Cottage, Jarman’s hideaway in Dungeness on the Kent coast, and the pair were constant companions until his death from AIDS-related illness in 1994.
Photographed at Arnold Circus in east London, Tilda is wearing a long-sleeved cashmere sweater with reverse button fastening and a white shirt by PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND.
Here and in the opening image, Tilda is wearing a jolly cashmere silk, hand intarsia, long-sleeved sweater by PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND.
Indeed, in February 2008, the Daily Mail most certainly did. The newspaper published a lurid piece alleging that Swinton, Byrne and Kopp were in a ménage à trois, cosying up together under the same roof in Nairn. Tilda responded in the press later that year, saying she and Byrne had split up five years before, when she’d met Kopp during the filming of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in 2004, and that their relationship had Byrne’s blessing. In the face of persistent insinuation, even Byrne felt forced to clarify matters further in The Times in 2009, saying he’d been miscast as some “benign eccentric who’s living there while some guy’s shagging his sweetheart.” Byrne has since kept a house across the road from Tilda’s to maintain contact with the twins, but he mainly lives in Edinburgh with his partner. As Tilda says, it’s all pretty regular stuff.
Tilda’s children live a particularly localised life in Nairn. Their mother may be jetting back and forth to Europe to be photographed for magazine covers and advertising campaigns (she’s currently lobbying the low-cost airline Flybe to put on a flight to Paris, where she gets her hair done by the French stylist Odile Gilbert). But the twins attend a nearby Steiner school and have limited access to media – that’s no Internet, television or film, excepting the odd box set. Tilda is trying to interest them in classic comedy and delights in the fact that her son has developed a penchant for the ’90s sitcom One Foot in the Grave.
Tilda, who’s quite knowledgeable about horses and a proficient gambler, is wearing a silk short coat with contrast details by PRINGLE OF SCOTLAND.
The house, though, a handsome Scottish Arts and Crafts home, is for sharing. Here Tilda has surrounded herself with souvenirs of significant people and places. The cream walls are filled with artwork: prints and paintings by Byrne; the framed lyrics of ‘People Have the Power’, signed by Patti Smith; a government-issue poster dating from the Second World War advising the public to ‘Eat greens daily for health.’ And all around are the personal touches of the easy house Tilda aspired to as a child: a giant wicker dog basket that accommodates all six spaniels, a cosy sitting room full of floral soft furnishings. There are Jamie Oliver and Gary Rhodes cookbooks next to tall jars of dry ingredients in the pantry. There are even pencil markings on the kitchen doorframe documenting the heights of her family and friends – a sort of graphic guest book, which confirms that Viktor Horsting of Viktor & Rolf measures the exact same number of centimetres as Brad Pitt: 182. At one point during lunch, I feel so relaxed that I catch myself unconsciously playing with one of the dogs under the table with my foot. Or so I thought. I look down to see that Tilda’s pet tortoise has crawled onto my sock.
Only the Diptyque Géranium Rosa candles in the entrance hall speak of another, more urban existence. I have a good look for career trophies – maybe some film poster alluding to a favourite project – but to no avail. I visit the bathroom, wondering whether I’ll find the Oscar statuette she said she’d give to her agent in her 2007 acceptance speech. But what I find instead is a framed health and safety certificate for the Ballerina Ballroom, signed by the Highlands’ environmental health officer, John Lee, in 2008. It’s good to know that Tilda triumphed in the battle of the driveway after all.

Let it snow. Or don't. It's whatever.
This is not what I was going to wear today. Last night, I had my cute little purple skirt all laid out at the end of the bed, just like it was the first day of kindergarten or something. And then husband kissed me awake this morning and said, "Sugar, look outside."
Cats and Dogs people. Cats and Dogs everywhere. And I was like, well jeeze. No wonder I couldn't sleep last night. You try and sleep with that kind of barking and meowing mania. Betcha you wouldn't catch a wink either.
So, you like my shirt do you? I knew you would cause I'm totally in love with it. I got it at this little place called Panache. Which is like the only place to buy cute clothes within a 30 mile radius of where I live. I know. It's a hard life. So anyway. You should check it out. Because they ship! And Panache is owned by the cutest married couple you'll ever meet. Plus Brandilyn is my fave cause I convinced her last minute to do the 30 for 30 with me. And so now we have this little support group. It's awesome.

Out of a swampy thicket, near the blue waters of Long Island Sound, 200 old men, women and children stepped into the bright sunshine and entered a new world.
Hundreds of edgy soldiers, mustered from villages and farms across Connecticut, had finally surrounded the Pequots and their leader, Sassacus.
It was July 13, 1637, a critical day in the Pequot War that had consumed Puritan Connecticut for several years. Six weeks before, in a key victory for the colonists, Capt. John Mason had led a massacre at the Pequot fort in Mystic, killing as many as 700 Indians in a single hour.
This summer afternoon was a jubilant one for the Puritans and their Mohegan scouts who had cornered these "most terrible" Pequots. A new chapter in American history was about to begin: Indian enslavement in Colonial America.
Among the Pequots caught in the bog in what's now part of Fairfield, a group of perhaps 17, mostly children, were thought to have been exported as slaves. Others were handed out to soldiers as wartime booty. Historians believe these 17 Pequots later ended up on an island off Nicaragua. Like many of the Indian slaves sent from America over the next century, there is little record of what happened to them.
Barely five years after their first recorded contact with Europeans, this final battle of the bloody Pequot War conclusively finished a doomed experiment by Indians and Puritans to live side by side. By the time the Treaty of Hartford was signed the following September, formally ending the war, the English had killed or enslaved more than 1,500 Pequot men, women and children, scholars believe.
During the uneasy decades that followed, as the Puritans pushed deeper into Indian country and their numbers swelled, it was difficult to travel through Connecticut, Massachusetts or Rhode Island and not encounter an Indian slave, working in a field, orchard or boatyard.
By the end of the 1600s, there were probably thousands of Indian slaves, many of them servants in homes and on farms. It would become, in the words of Roger Williams, a founder of Brown University, an essential component of "the Unnecessary Warrs and cruell Destructions of the Indians in New England."
In Connecticut and throughout New England, where, 350 years later, descendants of Indians and Europeans still have an uneasy relationship, Indian slavery remains a rarely recited part of our history.
"There are a lot of things that people in America don't have any idea about,"' said Everett "Tall Oak" Weeden, an Indian historian who shares both Pequot and Wampanoag ancestry. "History has been sanitized."
A primal fear of Indians, a desperate shortage of labor, a biblical sense of entitlement - these forces coalesced, leading to the enslavement of the Native Americans in southern New England in the 1600s. The colonists ultimately thought of the conflict as the "civilized" English against the "savage" natives.
"Partly it's social control. But they also want the labor. People wanted household servants," said Margaret Newell, a professor at Ohio State University who is writing a book on Indian slavery.
In Rhode Island and Massachusetts, and to a lesser extent in Connecticut, Newell said, "You would find [Indian] women working as domestic servants, taking care of children. You would find men working as farm laborers, drivers. You would find children taking care of livestock."
For some Indians, servitude lasted only until age 24. But others were bound to masters for indefinite periods. Indian slaves and household servants appear on census rolls and court records well into the 18th century.
This was a time of growing divisions and bloody violence between the native populations and the Puritans. As the colonists sought to settle in to their new home in America, there were conflicts, small and large, all over. It was a time of murdered women and children, of severed limbs and smashed corpses, when it was not uncommon to see Indian and English heads mounted on stakes, wigwams burned and frontier farms devastated.
For many Indians, Mason's brutal Pequot massacre and others after it remained fresh. For the colonists, the scalpings and mutilations, which included flayings and torture, seemed too monstrous for any true Englishman to ever accept.
By the beginning of King Philip's War in 1675, when Indians attacked and destroyed town after town in New England, it would be difficult to overestimate the fear English colonists felt as they sought to conquer and subdue New England. After a string of stunningly successful Indian attacks at the start of the conflict, Puritans were well aware that "all the Indians have their eyes fixed upon us."
Thousands of English and Indians would perish in the bloody two-year conflict, named for a regal Wampanoag sachem, or chief, whose father, Massasoit, sat with the Pilgrims at the first Thanksgiving feast. By the end of 1675, it was full-scale battle across New England.
"Many of our miserable inhabitants lye naked, wallowing in their blood, and crying, and whilst the Barbarous enraged Natives, from one part of the Country to another are in Fire, flaming their fury, Spoiling Cattle and Corn and burning Houses and torturing Men, Women and Children," wrote one unidentified colonist, quoted in historian Jill Lepore's revealing 1998 book, "The Name of War."
The Indian threat "strained even the most eloquent colonists' powers of description," Lepore writes of a time early in the war when Indians nearly drove the Puritans from New England's interior.
"I was so struck by how strident and how fearful these people were," University of Connecticut anthropologist Kevin McBride said of his research into Indians and Puritans of the 1600s. "These guys must have been panicked."
As the 17th century wore on, and colonists grew to outnumber natives in New England by about 2 to 1, Indians were increasingly pursued. A systematic divvying up of captives from the many Connecticut tribes emerged. The colonists originally focused on the more warlike Pequots, but soon members of the Narragansetts, Nipmucks and Wampanoags were also enslaved.
"The general court appointed certain persons in each county to receive and distribute these Indian children proportionately, and to see that they were sold to good families," wrote Almon W. Lauber in his 1913 book, "Indian Slavery in Colonial Times."
"The custom of enslavement came from the necessity of disposing of war captives, from the greed of traders and from the demand for labor," explained Lauber, whose book is still considered an essential reference.
Captured Indian warriors were frequently executed - or shipped to slave markets around the world. By the time King Philip's War began, Indian slaves, often women and children, were a common sight across southern New England.
From Newport, R.I., to Portsmouth, N.H., Indians came to public auction, "tied neck to neck," and sold for half of what an African might bring.
A 7-year-old girl was toted to Connecticut from a battle in Massachusetts, a spoil of war who was handy around the house. At times, there were so many captured Indians available that a few bushels of corn or 100 pounds of wool sufficed for payment. A New London man left "an Indian maidservant" as part of his estate. Another, a farmer and businessman from the New London area, kept a careful diary noting how common Indian slaves were on the farms and in the homes of southeastern Connecticut.
And on sailing ships, bound for the slave markets in Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and the Azores, Indians were packed away tightly by the profiteers, who kidnapped or bought them wholesale from Colonial authorities eager to finance an increasingly costly war against the Indians.
Indians who surrendered were treated only slightly more gently in the colony, with the Connecticut General Court ordering children sold as indentured servants for 10-year terms, though some would be slaves far longer if they got into legal trouble in Puritan courts.
A note left by attacking Nipmuck Indians after the plundering of Medfield, Mass., in February 1676 reveals much about the time: "We have nothing but our lives to loose but thou has many fair houses and cattell & much good things."
In the fall of 1676 the sailing ship Seaflower departed Boston Harbor for the Caribbean, its cargo hold filled with nearly 200 "heathen Malefactors men, women and children" sentenced to "Perpetuall Servitude & slavery."
As Lepore recounts in her book - one of the few published scholarly examinations of Indian slavery - the sale and lucrative export of Indians had become by 1676 one of "the rewards of war" that replenished "coffers emptied by wartime expenses." Despite government efforts to regulate it, much of the trade was conducted illegally and ruthlessly.
The slave export began to heat up in 1675 and 1676, when captives from the rapidly expanding King Philip's War were filling New England cities, further frightening the English. Most of the Indians captured and exported out of New England were from Massachusetts, whose towns suffered the most from Indian attacks.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the colonists also found that adult Indian males who were kept as slaves made poor servants here. Mason said as much, when he wrote of captives from the Pequot War: "They could not endure that Yoke; few of them continuing any considerable time with their masters."
Records of Indian slaves turn up well into the 18th century, but the practice faded rapidly in the 1700s, because of a growing market for African slaves and the widespread elimination of Indians and their culture. Scholars like Lepore also said that New England at this time began to see itself as a place that celebrated liberty and a growing anti-slavery movement.
Meanwhile, the eradication of Indian males through war, ravaging diseases and slavery led to significant intermarriage between native women and African males in the 18th century and beyond. Thus, as researchers like McBride and Newell note, the arrival of African slaves would help assure the survival of some Indian communities into the 21st century - while also setting the stage for some of the racial tension today.
"Slavery really did have a devastating impact on the Native American population. Men were more likely to be exported. You had some tribes and populations where the ratio of women to men is completely out of whack," said Newell.
In the 20th century this would lead to tribes, such as the Narragansett and Pequots, with members who, to an outsider, look distinctly African American - but who nevertheless descend from historic New England tribes.
For many modern Indians in southern New England, slavery remains an essential and too-little-discussed element of their being, a chapter that must be acknowledged to understand the dynamics of today's often fragile relationship between Indians and non-Indians.
This year, on the 365th anniversary of the Fairfield "swamp fight" of 1637, "Tall Oak" Weeden and a delegation of Wampanoag Indians and Mashantucket Pequots went hunting for remnants of this forgotten slavery era.
Searching for clues, they traveled to St. David's Island in Bermuda. There they met with a small clan claiming to be descendants of New England Indian slaves shipped there centuries ago. Those who went came away convinced they had struck gold when they saw the faces, the dances and rituals of the St. David's Indians.
"I was struck by how much they looked like us," said Michael J. Thomas, a Mashantucket tribal leader who went on the Bermuda trip this past summer.
According to local legend, the wife and son of King Philip might have been among those on St. David's. After the king's death, his wife, Wootonekanuske, is said to have married an African man, preserving a genealogical line with Indians in New England.
The Pequots, flush with casino wealth and in the midst of their own 21st century resurgence, plan to dig even further into slavery's hidden history, Thomas said.
"What's to be learned is a more accurate perception of Colonial-era history," he said. "It helps people to understand our insecurities of today."
Wow!Never knew aboutthis until recently. My grandma says there were native americans in the british virgin islands as indentured servants.
this is a lot like what is taking place today, with all of the white woman having children with all other ethnicities, especially the descendents of these slaves that you speak of. At the rate that they are having children with black men and making beautiful mixed babies, It'll someday be a world that only focuses on the human race, and that will be a beautiful thing.
I just found your article but it`s right along the lines that I have been looking for...the true story of slavery in North America.

Ba bao fan (pronounced bah·bou·FUN), or eight-treasure rice, is a traditional dessert with which to celebrate the occasion. A mound of glutinous rice with a red bean paste center, crowned with eight jewels (usually almonds, walnuts, melon seeds, dates, raisins, dried apricots, and other dried fruits), this sweet course represents a precious way to ring in the new lunar year.

At a time when many in the media are obsessed with white working-class Trump supporters in diners in the Midwest (and why is it always at a diner?), US News and World Report reporter David Catanese has done the math and correctly concluded that African American voters will be central to the outcome of the Democratic primary.
On Jan 6, 2016, The Star-Ledger, ran an article on Steve Phillips’ plans to raise at least $10 million to support Cory Booker for his potential run for president.

Housed in a fairly inconspicuous nook at the crest of Devonshire Street, inside Kagura you’ll find the sweet smell of smoked maple wood, a collection of rare and antique whiskies and a rustic, experimental bar menu inspired by regional areas of Japan.
Kagura aspires to capture the atmosphere of those little drinking and eating places you find in the back alleys of Japan, where it’s so intimate and chill you can’t not have a conversation with the bartender.
There is perfected flavor-of-the-month karaage chicken, and theatrical dishes such as scallops coated with Bruichladdich Octomore whisky mist and served in a cloud of maple smoke, underneath a glass cloche. There’s also a pair of ox-tongue skewers and a tasting plate of house-cured and house-smoked sashimi.
A simple list of natural and organic wine has been selected. The cocktail list and whisky collection belongs to owner and bartender, Flynn McLennan. A drink called Youth of the Beast is his spin on the tequila Old Fashioned. It’s a combination of house-made tangerine bitters, chipotle liqueur, 123 Organic Reposado tequila and – once again – smoked with sweet, heady maple wood.
Kagura hosts smoking sessions on Sunday afternoons. Chef Yoshi Harada chooses a selection of fish, beef and pork to cure with various flavours and we smoke them with various woods.
