How to Save Mum
Poland, 2015
Adaś and Aneta are just average, ordinary siblings. 7-year old Adaś spends most of the time playing computer games. 15-year old Aneta loves books but spends most of her free time daydreaming about a prince charming. Like any other siblings their age, they get into "fierce fights" against each other. Their mother's unexpected illness brings them together and replaces quarrels with care and cooperation. When the mother stays in hospital, the children are sent to their grandmother to the countryside. There, they hear about an old woman living on the marsh. The local people call her "Witch". With the use of magic and sorcery she transfers our heroes to a secret, medieval world. The children must find the legendary Golden Drops that will fulfil their three wishes – including the most important one – health for their sick mum. However, there are two conditions for their expedition to be successful: on the way to get the Golden Drops, the children cannot harm anybody and the last drop must be the wish to come back to the real world. Adaś and Aneta only have a certain amount of time to find the Golden Drops. The passing time is measured with an object studded with diamonds, called the Silver Cyclone. Each fading diamond shortens the time left to the end of the mission.

by amadorvampyre
The common interpretation of the Psychic Vampire (in the Modern Vampire Subculture) is someone that needs to take in external human-sourced vital energy to maintain their personal health. The justification for this process can range from the Psychic Vampire having a faulty energy system to simply not being able to generate enough personal energy to maintain personal health.
In this model, one might view the Psychic Vampire as being in a state of unhealth or illness. However, within the same model of eating for health, it could also be argued that all humans take energy from external resources for a variety of reasons. And judging Psychic Vampires for taking in larger amounts from other humans is arbitrary, judgemental and hypocriticalin light of humans taking energy from other life forms (including humans) and also consuming animal flesh without permission.
On that note, unawakened Psychic Vampires could arguably not be aware of any psychic, astral or etheric levels of reality
but still auto-feed or intuitively feed (and not possess the language to explain or understand it). At base level, a Psychic Vampire could have a passing understanding of the metaphysics involved, but function at the level of feed to live or feed for healthmeaning that they are perfectly satisfied with not expanding beyond the functional level of psychic vampirism or the need to understand metaphysics beyond a very base level.
On the other hand, we have those who perceive the Modern Vampire as a more evolved psychic and spiritual being. To them, this creature does not eat for health to affect the physical, etheric or emotional bodies. To the more spiritual interpretation of the Modern Vampire, it is the NATURE of the Modern Vampire to take in blood and/or energybut, not necessarily because of the need to maintain physical health.
The Modern Vampire As A Spiritual Creature takes in blood and/or vital energy and energetically transforms it into higher spiritual energy. This spiritual energy is then used to help the Vampire open up to newer levels of personal spiritual understanding or evolution. This is comparable to the psychic process of transforming sacral/sexual energy and cycling it up for the higher spiritual centers to usetransforming base energy into spiritual energy.
[Here, we are exploring the use of energy by the metaphysically-oriented Vampires. Treatment of blood-only Sangs and Med Sangs is not covered in this discussion, as they are analyzed outside of the realm of metaphysical interpretation. Spiritual Sanguinism, as it is the metaphysical perception of blood-ingestion, is includedbut, only when the Modern Vampire uses the metaphysical interpretation of Modern Vampirism
not the materialist interpretation of the blood-only Sanguinism. Also, we are excluding those energy workers who have no need/detriment associated with vampiric feeding, but still practice predatory energy feeding for magickal use.]
When comparing Obligate Feeders against the idea of the Modern Vampire as a Spiritual Beingthe main difference is that an Obligate Feeder needs to feed in order to maintain minimal basic physical health; whereas the Modern Vampire as a Spiritual Being does not need to feed to maintain basic physical health, but instead is driven to feed as part of their nature
.and transforms that energy into spiritual fuel for personal evolution.
From personal observation, the Modern Vampires who perceive themselves as Obligate Feeders seem to outnumber those of us who perceive that they are born Vampiric Spiritual Beings. It might be the more popular stance for the Obligate Feeders to defend that they are working at an energy deficit or are somehow irrevocably damaged in their energy systems, so that their main focus NEEDS to be on feedingTHEREFORE, also holding the idea that all of that vital energy must go towards maintaining that physical system that will never be healed, healthy or self-reliant.
From a metaphysical standpoint, is this accurate? Are there some energy systems that are and must stay in this unhealable state for the entirety of ones current personal physical incarnation?
Metaphysicians and magicians aim for the perfect state of wholeness, while acknowledging and working through the human limitations that temporarily keep them from realizing that state of perfection. Arguably, we can consider the need to feed on others vital energies as comparable to an allergy or need to take a particular supplement, because the physical body doesnt process it very well. A sort of special diet on a non-physical level.
Within the framework of Metaphysical philosophy, an illness or some other peculiarity can SOMETIMES be seen to be caused by the need for a lesson of some sortperhaps there is something to be learned directly by said conditions or the conditions create some secondary effect that wouldnt be present, otherwise. [Possible questions to ask yourself as a Modern Vampire areWhat are the benefits to me being a Modern Vampire? What am I doing as a Vampire that I would not do if I were not a Vampire? Who else am I benefitting by being a Vampire? Which positive actions am I contributing as a Vampire?]
Seeing the Energy Vampire as an Obligate Feeder only, infers that there is little to no interest in spiritual evolutionor perhaps there is nothing more than being a psychic entity who just ingests (takes). If this is the case, working within this framework, I advise making sure that the particular causation for the particular energy vampirism is not fixable. If it turns out that it is a case of Temporary Vampirism because of an energy body issue [leak, damage, deficiency, etc.], exhaust all healing possibilities through exploring every aspect of energy healing that is available. Engage in every modality that you can practice. Receive every healing treatment that is available, within financial capability.
If, after every healing system has been exhausted, then it might be practical to assume that the vampiric condition exists at a level that is non-negotiable for the souls purpose or growth
.and needs to keep in place for deeper reasons in the Vampires current incarnation.
On the other hand, we have those of us who perceive vampirism not as the need to take in external energy for physical health, but as the tendency to take in external energy for the purposes of converting it into a sort of psychic and spiritual energy for the higher centers. This more Spiritual version of a Vampire does not suffer from a hunger per se, but instead finds it more comparable to a drive or instinct to take in energy in order to transform it.
Here is where we have yet another difference of opinion. There are some Obligate Feeders who insist that it is the need to consume that defines them as Modern Vampires. The need to feed (for actual health or sense of wellness) makes their vampirism a non-negotiable part of their being. Because it is not so much a necessity to feed for vitality or health, some Obligate Vampires view the Spiritual Vampire as not having a necessity to engage in energy vampirism, in the first placeand therefore, vampirism is not being a necessary part of the latter groups system. Because it seems to be more optional, some critics see the Spiritual Vampire as something more of a non-vampiric energy worker, able to drop the practice of energy work because it is not a driving necessity for health.
In other words, it might be seen as more of a learned and optional practice that is applied consciously, not an instinctive/inherent part of ones selfin the case of the Spiritual Vampire.
Arguably, one of the biggest clues that one is an Obligate Energy Vampire is that one auto-feeds. Usually, the evidence for this is that others visibly react to the Energy Vampires auto-feed or will remark on it, if they are energetically aware enough to sense it.
In the case of one being the more spiritual version of the Vampire, it is not that one is experiencing a physical or energy deficit that prompts one to feed. It is more of a matter that after feeding [ambient, touch, eros or blood], one instinctively transforms that energy and immediately finds their consciousness propelling into higher intuitive and psychic realms of consciousness. The more spiritual version of the Vampire tends to shift their consciousness into higher realms, using the fuel of others energy to propel them. We can think of this process as something comparable to raising energy from non-human sources to fuel a spell or some other act of magick
taking energy from an external source to manifest a result or shift circumstances, in some way.
Regardless of which appeared first in history or which was first labeled a Vampire, we have two types of psychic/energetic creatures which appear in the GVC. One which feeds on other human-based sources to supplement ones physical/etheric well-being. [In a way, this is comparable to the physical ingestion of animals or plant mattereating for health.] The other psychic creature feeds on human-based energy sources to fuel ones spiritual propulsion
.in a way which is comparable to magicians pulling on external energy sources to fuel magick or manifestation.
My immediate response to determining whether one belongs to one group, the other or neither is basically the same that I have in determining other qualities or classifications in the metaphysical realm. I question whether some concept can possibly apply to me by exploring its potential applications retroactively. [Of course keeping in mind that false memory and the presumptive search factor of the brain could be fabricating evidence, based on how I pose any questions in meditation.]
From there, I explore the possibilities that the categorization in mind might not be the best explanation after alland explore alternative explanations, as well as entertaining the possibility that I could be completely mistaken, misidentifying or trying to stack the evidence to make myself fit into the category.
In the context of my personal spiritual evolution, I take particular categories of such spiritual classifications and work with them to see if they add value to my life as a spiritual being. Being an energy vampire can be seen as classifying ones energy system in a particular way, so that we can then work with it in a more conscious manner. This can be compared to classifying ones self as a clairvoyant, clairsentient, psychic generator or such. Any concept which helps one focus on energetic tendencies and needs of a particular energetic or psychic type, in order to keep healthy and balanced.
That aside, is it possible to be both types of psychic/energetic creatures? Both types of Vampires? Is it possible to be one, then be the other? Arguably, it would be possible to grow out of being an Obligate Feeder, if ones energy vampirism is temporary. If ones causation for energy vampirism is healed or alleviated, then obligatory feeding can cease. Within the principles of metaphysical healing, this is not unheard of. Rather than a more straightforward repair of energetic structure [damaged chakra, meridian or energy body], it could be a karmic reason for energy vampirism that is finally relieved.
Just as with any and all illnesses and conditions viewed through the metaphysical lens, there is probably not a singular cause for energy vampirism which accounts for all Energy Vampires. I am merely bringing up the possibility that this might be the case in some instances. On the note of raising ones consciousness, it is a working concept in metaphysics that the more that one works with higher Divine energies, healing can occur as a side-effect of dwelling in and channeling the more positive vibrations.
In the case of Energy Vampirism being a temporary vampirism, it is possible because of the higher spiritual work of the Vampire that enough of the right kinds of energy come in and heal any temporary vampirism. In this scenario, the activities of the more Spiritual Vampirism heals obligatory temporary vampirism. Just some food for thought.

These guidelines recognize that investment strategies will evolve over time as market conditions and interest rates change. Eastern Illinois University investment personnel have the responsibility of formulating strategies for the University's investment program. All investments and strategies will be consistent with the investment objectives and goals of each fund type. All investments must meet standards specified by applicable State Statutes and Board of Trustees Regulations. Those documents are incorporated as part of these investment guidelines. Any other restrictions (such as indentures of trust, etc) on specific investments must also be observed.
The Board of Trustees has designated the Vice President for Business Affairs as the chief investment officer for the university. The Vice President is responsible for establishing internal controls and written procedures for the operation of the investment program to assist investment personnel in the management of the university's investment program. These guidelines, in conjunction with other internal control policies and procedures, have been established to safeguard university investments.
The university's policy on internal control is described in the university Internal Governing Policies. The Department of Internal Auditing (and the university's external auditors) is responsible for reviewing compliance with the university's internal control policies and procedures.
Investment personnel will prepare quarterly reports on the university's investment portfolio. These reports shall include the total investment portfolio, the types of investments, the cost of each investment class in the portfolio, the aggregate market value of the portfolio, and a summary of investments matured and purchased for the period just ended. The aggregate portfolio rate of return shall also be reported. Annually, a comprehensive investment report shall be presented to the Board of Trustees. In addition, the university will develop and maintain a website to provide investment information in accordance with the Accountability for the Investment of Public Funds Act.
The university will provide investment information in its audited financial statements in accordance with standards of the governmental accounting standards board.
The university, at its discretion, may utilize the services of external advisors to assist in the management of investments. Periodically, the Request for Proposal (RFP) process, in compliance with the Illinois Procurement Code, shall be used to select both banking institutions and investment advisors. The university may also choose to participate in agreements negotiated by the State of Illinois. Any investment firm chosen may provide both investment advice and services for the purchase and sale of securities. Financial institutions providing depository and or investment services will provide an annual certification that they do not engage in predatory lending practices.
Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the possible income to be derived.
The standard of prudence to be used by investment personnel shall be the "prudent person" standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment personnel, acting in accordance with these investment guidelines and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported, in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
Investment personnel are subject to the Illinois Procurement Code and the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act. University investment personnel in policy making positions for the investment portfolio shall refrain from personal business activity that conflicts with proper execution of the investment program or which impairs their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Such individuals shall disclose to the university any material financial interest in financial institutions or brokers/dealers that conduct business within the State. They shall further disclose any personal investments that are related to the performance of the investment portfolio. In addition, such individuals shall subordinate their personal investment transactions to those of the investment portfolio, particularly with regard to the time of purchase and sales.
The operating funds of Eastern Illinois University represent operating and gift funds available for current use in support of the university's academic and support functions. Operating funds are pooled to provide for continuity, investment flexibility and efficient administration. These funds may include unrestricted current funds (e.g., income fund, designated funds, auxiliary enterprise funds), restricted current funds, loan funds, plant funds and agency funds.
The primary goals for operating funds are to preserve the university's investment capital and to maintain necessary liquidity when funds are needed for expenditures. The secondary goal is to invest according to an investment strategy that will provide the highest possible return within the conservative parameters dictated by the primary goal.
These guidelines broadly limit risk inherent to investment by addressing the issues of permissible investments, interest rate risk, credit risk, custodial risk, foreign currency risk, and securities lending. Additional specific written guidelines shall be established by the chief investment officer of the university.
Acceptable investments for University operating funds according to the Illinois Public Funds Investment Act include the following:
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. To limit interest rate risk the asset allocation plan shall establish maximum maturity lengths for investments and maintain sufficient short term investments to meet cash flow needs.
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to a debt investment will not fulfill its obligations. The Illinois Public Funds Investment Act defines acceptable credit rating levels from various rating agencies for all state entities. The university will utilize the rating requirements in the act to minimize credit risk.
Custodial credit risk is the risk that when, in the event a financial institution or counterparty fails, the university would not be able to recover the value of deposits, investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The Public Funds Investment Act requires banks or financial institutions to pledge securities to cover the amount of cash on deposit in excess of the insurance level appropriate to the financial institution. Securities used in collateralization agreements associated with depository accounts shall be held by either a Federal Reserve Bank, or a third party custodian. The university will develop procedures to identify acceptable investments and market value fluctuations of the collateral when collateralization accounts are used.
Concentration risk is the risk of investing an inappropriate portion of funds with one issuer. The investment portfolio shall be diversified to the extent possible to eliminate the risk of loss resulting from the concentration of assets in a specific maturity, a specific issuer or a specific class of securities. No single investment may represent more than 5 percent of the total value of cash and investments other than the U.S. Government, its agencies or sponsored corporations and state treasurer sponsored investment pools.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the exchange rate between the US dollar and other currencies will adversely affect an investment or cash position of the university. To eliminate foreign currency risk, the University will not hold investments denominated in a foreign currency.
The university shall not engage in securities lending on individual securities.
The university's asset allocation plan shall identify accepted industry benchmarks that best reflect each asset class included in the investment portfolio and will measure each asset class's performance against the benchmark over a market cycle. The benchmark will be periodically reviewed for suitability.
University endowment funds are gifts received from donors with the restriction that the principal is not expendable and unrestricted funds designated as quasi-endowment funds on a temporary or permanent basis. Unless prohibited under restrictions established by the donor, all endowment funds will be pooled for investment purposes. The objective of the endowment pool is to preserve the real value of the pool assets and the annual support provided by these assets for an infinite period. These investment guidelines embrace the total return concept. The State of Illinois Uniform Management Of Institutional Funds Act will guide investment of University endowment funds.
Quasi-endowments (funds functioning as endowments) are created from current gift accounts where the purpose of the gift matches more properly the investment program of endowments. Establishing a quasi-endowment transfers the funds from short-term (operating) investments to long-term (endowment) investments. Generally, a quasi-endowment should not be established unless the funds will remain in the endowment investment program for at least five years.
Any investment manager(s) selected by the university will invest the endowment assets in accordance with established guidelines, but will apply their own judgments concerning relative investment values. In particular, the investment managers are accorded full discretion, within established requirements and guideline limits, to select individual investments and diversify their portfolios.
Designated fiscal agents of each endowment will be allowed to spend earnings from the portfolio according to the endowment document. Until such time as a formal spending rate plan is developed, spending will be based on the earnings of the investments, including capital appreciation.
The university will develop asset allocation plans that allow for the maximum rate of return. This will provide a stable income stream that keeps pace with inflation and does not degrade the real value of the corpus of the endowment over time.
The endowment portfolio will be broadly diversified across and within asset classes in order to minimize the impact of losses in individual investments. Multiple investment managers and indexed investments may be used to further this end.
Investments in pooled funds (e.g., mutual funds and common trust funds) are permitted provided that their investment guidelines do not violate these guidelines.
University investment personnel will advise investment managers of any anticipated need for liquidity as such needs become known. The investment managers will not assume any liquidity needs other than those provided by the university.
The endowment portfolio will be rebalanced at least annually to keep asset classes within the approved asset allocation. The purpose of rebalancing is to control risk and maintain the asset allocation within the ranges approved by the university. Endowment cash flow will be utilized to implement rebalancing activities to minimize transaction costs.
The university's asset allocation guidelines for endowment funds shall identify accepted industry benchmarks that best reflect each asset class included in the investment portfolio and will measure each asset class's performance against the benchmark over a market cycle. The benchmarks will be periodically reviewed for suitability.
In certain instances, funds under the control of the university may have to be invested separately from the operating or endowment fund pools. Separately invested funds include, among others:
Separately invested funds will be subject to the same investment guidelines as other comparable funds, but the asset allocations and maturity structure will be governed by projected cash requirements.
The Eastern Illinois University Foundation accepts funds for the benefit of the university and student scholarships. The foundation board has retained Hammond and Associates as its investment adviser. The foundation has a separate investment policy and asset allocation for its portfolio.

The association between dietary sugar intake and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder: A case-control study.
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an uncommon autoimmune disease of the central nerves system (CNS) by inflammatory nature. The effects of high dietary sugar intake on inflammation and dysbiosis have been received more attention in recent years. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between various types of dietary sugar intake and NMOSD odds and clinical features.
The current case-control study was conducted among 70 patients with definite NMOSD diagnosis based on 2015 international consensus criteria and 164 hospital-based controls. Demographic and anthropometric information in all participants and disease characteristics just in case group were obtained. Dietary data during the past year of study attendance was collected by a validated 168-item food frequency questionnaire. Participants were stratified into 3 tertiles according to each type of sugar intake and the third tertile considered as reference in multivariate regression models. The correlation between dietary sugar and disease features were analyzed using Pearson correlation test.
The mean ± SD of total sugar intake increased from 80.73 ± 17.71 to 208.71 ± 57.93 g/day across tertiles of total sugar intake. In fully adjusted model, lower intake of sugar was associates with decreased odds of NMOSD in the first tertile vs third tertile by ORs of: 0.02(CI:0.00-0.08; p-for-trend:0.00), 0.02(CI:0.00-0.10; p-for-trend:0.00), 0.23(CI:0.08-0.61; p-for-trend:0.00), 0.19(CI:0.06-0.58; p-for-trend:0.00) and 0.16(CI:0.05-0.51; p-for-trend:0.00) for glucose, fructose, galactose, lactose and sucrose, respectively. The odds of NMOSD had a 1.72-fold (CI: 1.43-2.03; p-for-trend:0.00) significant raise per every 10 g increase for total sugar intake. There was no significant correlation between various types of dietary sugar intakes and relapse rate or patients' disability.
The present study proposes a possible direct association between high intake of various sugar types and odds of suffering from NMOSD. More investigations are needed to prove this results.

Is diet associated with physical capacity and fatigue in persons with multiple sclerosis? -Results from a pilot study.
Diet may have immunomodulatory effects in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) and studies suggest that diet may be considered a complementary treatment to control the progression of the disease. The role of nutrition in MS and related symptoms have been reported by several studies but remains controversial.
To explore the association between dietary intake and physical capacity and fatigue in PwMS.
An explorative cross-sectional pilot study was conducted, in which 23 ambulatory PwMS were enrolled. Dietary intake was assessed using a 4-day food record. Outcome variables included a 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), a VO2max test, and self-reported questionnaires assessing fatigue severity (Fatigue Severity Scale, FSS) and impact (Modified Fatigue Impact Scale, MFIS). Associations between variables were determined using simple and multiple regression analyses.
In the simple but not the multiple (adjusted for sex and age) regression analyses the carbohydrate intake (% of total energy intake) was positively associated with physical capacity (i.e. the 6MWT and VO2max test), whereas fat intake (% of total energy intake) was inversely associated with physical capacity. In the multiple regression analyses the absolute intake of ω-3 and vitamin D showed trends towards a positive association with the MFIS physical subscale and VO2max, respectively.
Although not consistent across analyses, these findings suggest that better physical capacity most often is associated with a diet rich in carbohydrates and reduced fat content. Further research and randomized controlled trials are required to fully assess the role and the efficacy of diet quality and content on physical capacity in PwMS.

The Impact of Coconut Oil and Epigallocatechin Gallate on the Levels of IL-6, Anxiety and Disability in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3197930 ... -patients/
Background: Due to the inflammatory nature of multiple sclerosis (MS), interleukin 6 (IL-6) is high in blood levels, and it also increases the levels of anxiety related to functional disability. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) decreases IL-6, which could be enhanced by the anti-inflammatory effect of high ketone bodies after administering coconut oil (both of which are an anxiolytic). Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the impact of coconut oil and EGCG on the levels of IL-6, anxiety and functional disability in patients with MS.
Methods: A pilot study was conducted for four months with 51 MS patients who were randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group received 800 mg of EGCG and 60 mL of coconut oil, and the control group was prescribed a placebo. Both groups followed the same isocaloric Mediterranean diet. State and trait anxiety were determined before and after the study by means of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). In addition, IL-6 in serum was measured using the ELISA technique and functional capacity was determined with the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and the body mass index (BMI).
Results: State anxiety and functional capacity decreased in the intervention group and IL-6 decreasedin both groups.
Conclusions: EGCG and coconut oil improve state anxiety and functional capacity. In addition, a decrease in IL-6 is observed in patients with MS, possibly due to the antioxidant capacity of the Mediterranean diet and its impact on improving BMI.

Diet Quality Is Not Associated With Late-Onset Multiple Sclerosis Risk- A Danish Cohort Study
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3203536 ... ort-study/
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) onset is commonly observed in adults aged 20-50 years of age. The incidence rate of MS-onset after age 50, late-onset MS, has increased along with the observed overall increase in MS incidence rate in the past 60 years. In general, the aetiology of MS is largely acknowledged to involve a complex interrelation of environmental and modifiable lifestyle risk factors in genetically susceptible individuals. Smoking is an established risk factor, while the role of the diet in the aetiology of MS remains inconclusive. However, even less is known about the role of diet and smoking in the aetiology of late-onset MS as this subgroup of patients has not gained much attention in the scientific literature. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the association between diet quality and the hazards of late-onset MS diagnosis in relation to smoking habits, thus attempting to identify high-risk individuals.
Methods: The study was a prospective cohort study based on the Danish cohort Diet, Cancer and Health including middle-aged individuals (50-64 years) born and residing in Denmark. Cox' proportional hazards models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HR) for tertiles of diet quality, assessed by means of the Alternative Healthy Eating Index-2010. Information on time-at-risk and diagnosis of MS was collected based on linked information from the Danish Civil Registration System and Danish National Patient Registry. Additionally, a stratified analysis according to smoking status (current smokers, former smokers and never smokers) was conducted while adjusting for sex.
Results: A total of 56,867 individuals were followed for a median of 20.4 years. During follow-up, 124 individuals were diagnosed with late-onset MS. No statistically significant association was found between diet quality at baseline and the hazard of MS diagnosis in adjusted analyses (HR highest vs lowest diet quality tertile: 0.79; 95%CI: 0.49-1.27, Test for trend: p = 0.22). Smoking status did not modify the association.
Conclusion: In this cohort of middle-aged Danes, diet quality was neither statistically significantly associated with the hazards of late-onset MS diagnosis in the entire sample, nor in sub-groups of current smokers, former smokers or never smokers.

Modulation of Keap1/Nrf2/ARE Signaling Pathway by Curcuma- And Garlic-Derived Hybrids
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3204743 ... d-hybrids/
Nrf2 is a basic leucine zipper transcription factor that binds to the promoter region of the antioxidant response element (ARE), inducing the coordinated up-regulation of antioxidant and detoxification genes. We recently synthesized a set of new molecules by combining the functional moieties of curcumin and diallyl sulfide, both known to induce the expression of antioxidant phase II enzymes by activating Nrf2 pathway. The aim of the study is to investigate the ability of such compounds to activate Keap1/Nrf2/ARE cytoprotective pathway, in comparison with two reference Nrf2-activators: curcumin and dimethyl fumarate, a drug approved for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Furthermore, since Nrf2 pathway is known to be regulated also by epigenetic modifications, including key modifications in microRNA (miRNA) expression, the effects of the hybrids on the expression levels of selected miRNAs, associated with Nrf2 signaling pathway have also been investigated. The results show that compounds exert antioxidant effect by activating Nrf2 signaling pathway and inducing the ARE-regulated expression of its downstream target genes, such as HO-1 and NQO1, with two hybrids to a higher extent than curcumin. In addition, some molecules induce changes in the expression levels of miR-125b-5p, even if to a lesser extent than curcumin. However, no changes have been observed in the expression levels of mRNA coding for glutathione synthetase, suggesting that the modulation of this mRNA is not strictly under the control of miR-125b-5p, which could be influenced by other miRNAs.

A Modified MCT-Based Ketogenic Diet Increases Plasma β-Hydroxybutyrate but Has Less Effect on Fatigue and Quality of Life in People with Multiple Sclerosis Compared to a Modified Paleolithic Diet: A Waitlist-Controlled, Randomized Pilot Study.
Objective: To investigate the feasibility of a modified MCT-based ketogenic diet and its impact on plasma β-hydroxybutyrate and MS outcomes compared to a modified Paleolithic diet and usual diet in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Methods: Fifteen individuals with MS were randomized to 3 groups: 1) modified Paleolithic diet (Paleo; n = 6); 2) medium-chain triglyceride (MCT)-based ketogenic diet that included coconut as a fat source (Keto; n = 5); or 3) usual diet (Control; n = 4). Participants had blood drawn every 4 weeks to monitor nutritional ketosis. Participants completed 4-day weighed food records, measures of disability, fatigue, quality of life (QoL), cognitive function, and physical function at baseline and 12-weeks.
Results: Macronutrient intake significantly shifted toward a ratio indicative of a ketogenic diet in the Keto group at 12 weeks. Similarly, plasma β-hydroxybutyrate indicated nutritional ketosis in the Keto group, whereas neither macronutrient intake nor plasma β-hydroxybutyrate indicated nutritional ketosis in the Paleo and Control groups. The Paleo group had significant within group reductions in fatigue scores and maintained cognitive function scores compared to the Control group. The Keto group had significant reductions in fasting glucose and insulin compared to baseline values; however, no clinical outcomes significantly changed.
Conclusions: Participants consuming the MCT-based ketogenic diet achieved nutritional ketosis; however, it was not associated with significant clinical improvement in this study whereas the modified Paleolithic diet was associated with significant clinical improvements. Larger randomized controlled trials are needed to determine the safety and efficacy of the modified Paleolithic and MCT-based ketogenic diets on MS.

The role of dietary antioxidant index and index of nutritional quality in MS onset: finding from an Iranian population-based incident case-control study.
Introduction: The role of nutritional factors in MS etiology is a matter of debate. Employing dietary antioxidant index (DAI) as well as index of nutritional quality (INQ) we aimed to investigate the possible link between diet and MS risk. Methods: This was a large population-based case-control study recruiting 547 incident cases and 1057 population controls between August 2013 and February 2015. DAI and INQ were calculated based on the adolescence dietary intake of the participants. Logistic regression was employed for estimating adjusted odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence interval in 2018. Results: Participants with less than median DAI values had two-fold increased risk of MS onset (adjusted OR 2.05, 95% CI: 1.64-2.58, P < 0.001). A significant dose-response pattern for DAI (adjusted OR 1.35, 95% CI: 1.18-1.55, P for trend <0.001) was also detected. In the case of INQ, the strongest decreased risk were detected for vitamin D (OR = 0.09) and Zinc (OR = 0.34), followed by vitamin A (OR = 0.49), Calcium (OR = 0.49) and vitamin B6 (OR = 0.51) (All P-values < 0.05). Conclusion: Considering the inherent limitation of case-control designs, an appropriate intake of nutrient antioxidants may have a role in decreasing the likelihood of MS risk. Moreover, those with healthier diet assessed by index of nutritional quality were at decreased risk for MS.

Triterpene Glycosides From Blighia Welwitschii and Evaluation of Their Antibody Recognition Capacity in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) in a multifactorial autoimmune disease in which reliable biomarkers are needed for therapeutic monitoring and diagnosis. Autoantibodies (autoAbs) are known biomarker candidates although their detection in biological fluids requires a thorough characterization of their associated antigens. Over the past twenty years, a reverse chemical-based approach aiming to screen putative autoantigens has underlined the role of glycans, in particular glucose, in MS. Despite the progress achieved, a lack of consensus regarding the nature of innate antigens as well as difficulties proposing new synthetic glucose-based structures have proved to be obstacles. Here is proposed a strategy to extend the current methodology to the field of natural glycosides, in order to dramatically increase the diversity of glycans that could be tested. Triterpene saponins from the Sapindaceace family represent an optimal starting material as their abundant description in the literature has revealed a prevalence of glucose-based oligosaccharides. Blighia welwitschii (Sapindaceae) was thus selected as a case study and twelve triterpene saponins were isolated and characterized. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR as well as mass spectrometry, revealing seven undescribed compounds. A selection of natural glycosides exhibiting various oligosaccharide moieties were then tested as antigens in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to recognize IgM antibodies (Abs) in MS patients' sera. Immunoassay results indicated a correlation between the glycan structures and their antibody recognition capacity, allowing the determination of structure-activity relationships that were coherent with previous studies. This approach might help to identify sugar epitopes putatively involved in MS pathogenesis, which remains poorly understood.

Compounds that extend longevity are protective in neurodegenerative diseases and provide a novel treatment strategy for these devastating disorders
While aging is the greatest risk factor for the development of neurodegenerative disease, the role of aging in these diseases is poorly understood. In the inherited forms of these diseases, the disease-causing mutation is present from birth but symptoms appear decades later. This indicates that these mutations are well tolerated in younger individuals but not in older adults. Based on this observation, we hypothesized that changes taking place during normal aging make the cells in the brain (and elsewhere) susceptible to the disease-causing mutations. If so, then delaying some of these age-related changes may be beneficial in the treatment of neurodegenerative disease. In this review, we examine the effects of five compounds that have been shown to extend longevity (metformin, rapamycin, resveratrol, N-acetyl-l-cysteine, curcumin) in four of the most common neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). While not all investigations observe a beneficial effect of these compounds, there are multiple studies that show a protective effect of each of these lifespan-extending compounds in animal models of neurodegenerative disease. Combined with genetic studies, this suggests the possibility that targeting the aging process may be an effective strategy to treat neurodegenerative disease.

The effect of ellagic acid on spinal cord and sciatica function in a mice model of multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a well-known neurodegenerative disorder, causing toxicity in different organs, such as spinal cord tissue. The goal of this study was to investigate the protective effect of ellagic acid (EA) against spinal cord and sciatica function in cuprizone (Cup)-induced demyelination model. Animals were divided into six equal groups. The first group received tap water as the control. Cup group was treated with Cup (0.2% w/w in fed). EA 100 group was orally treated with EA (100 mg/kg). EA + Cup groups were orally treated with three doses of 5, 50, and 100 mg/kg of EA plus Cup (0.2% w/w). All groups received treatment for 42 days. Open field, rotarod, and gait tests were done to evaluate the behavioral changes following Cup and/or EA treatment. Also, lipid peroxidation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase enzymes activity in spinal cord was evaluated. Luxol fast blue (LFB) staining also the behavioral tests were performed to evaluate the model. Cup increased ROS levels and oxidative stress in their spinal cord tissues. Also, Cup reduced antioxidant capacity, SOD, and catalase activity. EA (especially at 100 mg/kg) prevented these abnormal changes. EA co-treatment dose-dependently was able to ameliorate behavioral impairments in mice that received Cup. EA might act as a protective agent in MS by modulating spinal cord function.

That isn't all; our products are nonporous and chemical resistant, which helps them resist staining, freezing, thawing, heat, and fading. Have our team provide you with a consultation and estimate today to find out what type of concrete system is right for you and your budget.
Stained Concrete
Stained concrete floors offer rich, vibrant colors that stay true over time. Stained floors are a popular choice among homeowners, business owners and designers because they are easy to maintain. The various stained concrete designs, color options, application techniques and finishes derive a unique look that can be applied on both interior and exterior surfaces. Some stained concrete ideas include patios, driveways, walkways and basements.
Stained concrete cost is one of the most reasonable options out there, especially when you consider the low maintenance and longevity of this material. We'll give your home a sense of uniqueness and artisan flair that is sure to make your friends and family envious. Stains for concrete come in three general categories: acid-based chemical stains, acetone dye, and water-based acrylics. The results our team can achieve are simply limitless!
Unfortunately, stain cannot hide pre-existing cracks, flaws or blemishes in concrete. If your existing concrete slab has major cracks or spalling, be sure to ask about our proprietary resurfacing process over existing concrete to get your slab in tip-top shape before stain is applied.
- Economical
You can expect stained concrete cost to be one of the best values out there. Concrete floors are invincible to tearing, gouging, molding and water damage. Unlike alternative flooring, such as carpet, tile and hardwood, our work can last for decades to come and rarely needs replacement.
- Easy Care & Maintenance
Our work and materials are backed by a 3-year warranty*. To keep your new concrete floors looking their best, simply clean surfaces periodically with a dry dust mop and an occasional wet mop using a neutral-pH cleaner. It's that simple!
- Reduce Allergens
Stained concrete floors are an excellent option for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. Unlike other organic flooring options, our floors don't harbor dust mites and other allergens and won't support the growth of mold or bacteria so you can breathe easy.
Colored (pigmented) Sealer
For your interior projects, we can give you the strength and durability of our coatings to keep your floors looking beautiful and vibrant for years to come. If you're more interested in sealing an exterior project, select from any of our pigmented acrylic sealers available in solvent-based, low-VOC solvent-based and water-based variations. Unlike stains that are usually semi-transparent, pigmented sealers are solid coatings that cover the concrete surface completely.
We promise that with our cement coatings applying, you will never be disappointed in the beautiful colors surface coated or their durability. Each pigment has been specially formulated for use on surfaces and has been designed specifically to stay vibrant and true to its original color even years after being subjected to harsh wear, tear, weather and sunlight. Sealed concrete floors to renew old and faded interior and exterior concrete driveways, sidewalks and pool deck patios.
Epoxy Coatings
Hard wearing, durable solutions for both commercial and high performance industrial floors, epoxy floorings and coatings are ideal for use in warehouses, pharmaceutical manufacturing buildings, food and beverage plants, laboratories, industrial manufacturing facilities and others. An epoxy floor coating that protects concrete floors creates a high gloss, durable surface that solves most challenges of industrial environments, offering a variety of benefits:
- Easy to clean, seamless and non-porous.
Epoxy has no seams where bacteria and debris can accumulate and can be easily wiped free of dirt, dust and debris. Epoxy concrete floors withstand the extreme temperatures of wash-downs and steam cleaning.
- Exceptionally durable and long-lasting.
Epoxy flooring systems protect concrete substrate slabs, transforming them with a high performance surface resistant to moisture that will last for years to come.
- Attractive and aesthetically pleasing.
Epoxy dries to a high gloss shine and is available in a variety of colors, textures and applications such as solid colors and decorative additives that can beautify a variety of working environments.
- Chemically resistant.
Epoxy floorings and coatings protect concrete from aggressive chemicals, acids, alkalis and solvents that destroy the surface, the underlying materials and can even penetrate into ground water.
- Improves safety in the workplace.
Concrete floor epoxy ensures slip, impact, heat and fire resistance. In addition, high gloss floor coatings can also improve brightness in a work area by as much as 300 percent.
- Withstands impact from high traffic.
Use different colors and textures of epoxy flooring systems to define safety zones, foot traffic zones, forklift zones and work zones. Epoxy floors reduce wear on transport vehicles, allow for faster material movement, increase productivity and prevent wear and damage to the floor.
Preparation is the key!
No matter what your final intentions are for your concrete slab, its surface should always be very well prepped. The key to every good overlay, staining, or sealing project lies in good surface preparation. A concrete project will last only as long as the amount and quality of prep-work done before any finished coating has been applied.
The first priority for every job involving concrete should be to strip off whatever coating was there previously, either chemically or mechanically. Once the previous coating has been removed, the slab can be cleaned and profiled. Since most concrete becomes damaged over time, you now need to check for and repair cracks and patch holes and pits in the substrate. To prevent future breakdowns in your concrete surface, dealing with the primary cause of most failed slabs – moisture – is the last step in a well-prepared surface.
Strata Decorative Concrete, LLC carriers the best products for each and every step of your project and we'll make sure that your finished concrete surface lasts a very long time.
What kind of concrete surface preparation is the best choice?
When you are applying a sealer, stain, coating, or cement-based overlay to a slab of concrete, it is essential to have a surface that you can properly bond. Without proper concrete surface preparation, your next stage of application will be doomed to have adhesion failure. There are two ways to clean concrete? Mechanical and chemical.
1. Mechanical Repair of concrete surface preparation utilizes shot blasting, diamond grinding, and sanding. This process removes the cream off the surface and gets underneath the problem.
2. Chemical concrete surface preparation uses a variety of liquid solutions to remove dirt, debris, mineral deposits, mastics, glues, and sealers. This process is used when the integrity of the cement surface is sound and does not require mechanical applications
Great benefits of our CTI systems:
• Freeze/Thaw resistant
• Fade resistant
• Stain resistant
• Salt /Alkali resistant
• Twice the strength of concrete
• Heat resistant
• Easier to maintain than concrete (day to day dirt and grime can be cleaned with a hose).

We all know that I'm quite a fan of the TAM beauty umbrella of brands (despite all the recent drama!) – but the Makeup Obsession launch was one which initially fell a bit on deaf ears for me. Whilst I saw lots of beautiful swatches of eyeshadows online, and even tested them in stores I couldn't help feel like the shades felt like I already had them covered in my collection, and the need for me to pick any of them up was not huge. But then I found the highlighters and it became a different story.
If you're unaware the Makeup Obsession range is the latest from TAM beauty which allows you to pick a palette (which are either 6 or 12 in size, and come in various different shades), if you're in a Boots they can also personalise the palettes for you. I chose the smallest 6 palette in white, as it would be one which stood out in my drawer in a sea of black and pink palettes it's one I can find easily. The pans come in individual plastic pans which you pop out and place into your palette, or alternively you can keep them by themselves. The first 4 of these I bouhght I stupidly threw the casings away, but I've now kept one that if I want to pop one out for travel I can do. The range covers Shadows, Lip, Brow Powders, Blushes, Highlights, Strobe Creams and Contour powders.
The pans are a bit of a weird size, as an eyeshadow size they feel giant, and as a blush or highlight they feel slightly on the small size, however the fact I can now pop one of these out for a night away makes me more on board with their size. The palette feels slightly clunky to me and although I know there's no way to get around it with the design, I can't help but think that if this was a magnetic palette and magnetic pans how much space would be saved. The packaging however is nice and sturdy and comes with a nice full sized mirror in the lid. The palettes are between £6 and £8 each, and the pans range in price depending on the product – shadows are £2 each, highlights/strobe creams £3, contour £3, brows £2, lips £2 and blush £3.
The Makeup Obsession pans are tiny, there's just 2g of product in there which for a highlight is miniature. On one hand it makes sense, they fit into a click system for eyeshadows, blushes etc – but it doesn't other the best value for money when you take into consideration that other Tam Beauty highlights are 7.5g, and tend to also be around the £3 mark, with this you're paying for flexibility. One thing I will say is that once you've added in 6 pans which at highlight cost is £18 – plus the palette cost – it's a £24 palette – I'm not sure that this feels like a £24 palette to me.
One thing I do like is that you can see the names of the shades when you flip over the shades. The idea of the palette is slightly flawed to me for travel if you don't have the palette full as things can get in through the gaps at the bottom, a clear acrylic bottom would have worked really well to stop this IMO. I could be tempted my some eyeshadows if they had a smaller 3/4 palette, but as a travel palette I'd be able to fit in a similar sized pre-made palette which has more shades in it, that makes it unappealing to me as an eyeshadow layout. Whilst the beauty of this is that you can mix a blush, shadow, highlight & 3 shadows for travel, I know the idea of mixing all those things just doesn't appeal, especially when it comes to brown eyeshadows being near a strobe cream!
I currently have 5 shades in my palette 4 powder highlights, and one strobe cream, I still have one to decide and I'm actually on the look out for a matte highlight the next time I'm near a Boots with a counter. One of the things I like about these highlights is that they're transitional for me, and I'll often use them as an inner corner highlight for the eyes as well as on the cheeks. These are not the most neutral shades of highlight, because… I have plenty of those and a smaller sized lilac toned highlighter is better placed in my collection as something I use infrequently and a full normal sized version of would take me forever and a day to hit pan on.
Top to Bottom Swatches
Precious – Strobe Cream – An Icy white with a pale blue shift, a little hard to blend, but looks gorgeous once you have it on
Moon – Highlight – A lilac toned highlight which appears more pinky once on the skin, great as an inner corner highlight with purple eyeshadow looks. Quite a frosty finish, but looks pretty on the skin and isn't too much colour for it to look odd.
Bare – Highlight – the most neutral of the bunch quite a soft highlight that under some lights reminds me of MAC Soft and Gentle (see swatch at the end!)
Lightning – Highlight – Bright White slightly frosty but gorgeous, has a very faint gold shimmer.
Pop – Highlight – An unusual bright white with an icy green flash, I love this it's really unusual and works really well as an eyeshadow too.
Bare was the first one I bought and after a few months I added to my collection. Bare really reminded me of slightly softer MAC's Soft and Gentle under certain lights although the cost of the two compared as grams makes them not vastly different, and being a baked product the MAC powder will last you longer.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A Kansas City woman faces a murder charge for the stabbing death of another woman, court documents say the suspect was provoked by a fight over cigarettes. Levolia Kelso faces a second-degree murder charge and armed criminal action in the death of 19-year-old Mikelle Green.
The stabbing happened at an apartment at Linwood and Bellefontaine. Court documents indicate Green had been staying at Kelso's apartment and wanted Kelso to get cigarettes for her on Saturday morning, but Kelso refused and later asked Green to leave the apartment.
Green refused to leave and then stepped on a computer, and the two began fighting. The fight ended when police say Kelso stabbed Green 12 times. Kelso told detectives once she realized what she had done; she attempted first aid and called 911, but couldn't revive her.

Occasionally you stumble across an unexpected delight.
I was looking through some records associated with boats and suddenly discovered that in 1851 (nearly 160 years ago) there was a Master of the Harris Mail Boat.
Hearach John Morrison, 38, together with his wife and seven children were residing at Port Esgein, a tiny inlet in the Sound of Harris and home to the Farm of Strond.
Port Esgein is significant as it is just a short walk from Loch Rodil and thence to Rodel Harbour
John would have kept the Mail Boat in one of these three locations, reminding us that it would be another 60 years before the 'Soap Man' decreed that Obbe was the perfect spot for a Great Harbour, despite local knowledge warning him otherwise.
What kind of vessel was Morrison the Master of?
Which ports did it serve, on the mainland and elsewhere on the islands?
How frequent a service (weather allowing) did it provide?
When did it start, and cease?
The only answer I currently have is, 'I don't know', but it is certainly another piece of evidence that this now-tranquil South-Eastern end of Borrisdale, encompassing Port Esgein, the Farm of Strond and adjacent to Rodel, was once very much at the heart of Harris.

All about beards
I wasn't surprised when we were arrested for picketing The Skillet Cafe. It's what we hoped would happen. It was the sixties, after all. Vietnam. Ban the Bomb. Protests and pickets were the order of the day.
This picketing wasn't planned at all. Half a dozen of us had been lounging around a horseshoe banquette with a window looking out onto Granville Street. We'd been there for most of the afternoon, smoking cigarettes, nursing cold coffees and arguing about how to fix the world. They asked us to leave and, having nothing better to do, we asked why. After some hemming and hawing, the manager said it was because were were unshaven. That was true of some of us. But being 16, I could barely raise peach fuzz, and said so. The owner said never mind, he didn't like my beard-like attitude.
Of course we picketed the place. Eventually some of us were arrested and hauled off in a Black Maria to 312 Main where we were relieved of our valuables, fingerprinted, photographed and jailed. They even took our belts and shoelaces, so we wouldn't hang ourselves in despair.
The court, however, applauded our pre-Charter right to assembly, beard-like attitudes or not. The press feasted on the hippies and beatniks getting one over on the cops. And for a brief shining moment we were heroes of the counter-culture.
Flash forward forty years. I had just turned 56, and decided to stop shaving. At first it was sheer laziness, coinciding with a couple of weeks off work. But after a few days there began to appear a definite blond haze around my face -- not enough to be seen from across the room, but prickly enough to cause my wife to wince when we kissed.
Soon, I started noticing that almost every other guy on the street was raising some sort of facial follicles. And for the most part, it was a pretty poor crop.
Aside from the Miami Vice two-day stubble look, the smallest commitment to facial hair is the soul patch -- that little apostrophe just under the lower lip. Some are wisps; some are thatches. I saw one that was a foot long and braided. All soul patches say cooler than cool. Sadly, growing one doesn't automatically confer cool, and in fact, may be trigger the little-known Uncool Rebound Effect. The guys who do look uber hip with a soul patch are the same guys who actually look good in a beret. That is to say, very few.
Most men try a moustache sooner or later. I did. You've got to, just because you can. If you're going to stop shaving, it seems a logical place to start, being the hardest part to shave. My moustache was a ginger soup-strainer that made me look like I had an overbite. It went the way of the corduroy sports jacket with elbow patches sometime in the early '80s.
Sideburns were worn with some panache for a while. And even the sideburn/moustache combo known as Muttonchops were popular for a minute or two in the late sixties, and seem to be enjoying a comeback with baseball players, especially pitchers.
Conversely, the beard without the moustache has always puzzled me. For starters, it looks severe. And if the purpose of growing a beard is to avoid shaving, why shave only the upper lip -- the most difficult part?
My approach was to let it all grow, and see what happened. After three days, my wife was intrigued. Our 19 year old son said I looked rugged. And I was encouraged. After a week, our son said I looked like a sailor. My wife said I looked disreputable. But I persevered.
Only one other person made any comment -– a neighbour gave a non-commital hmmmm and walked on. Perhaps I looked so desperate, people felt sorry for me and didn't want to make things worse by commenting on my appearance. Still, my resolve was firm. After two weeks, it was looking almost beard-like, so I trimmed the wispier bits and went off to work.
Most colleagues assumed it was a playoff beard. But that year even Tod Bertuzzi couldn't raise whiskers fast enough for the Canuck's short post-season. One person asked me if I'd grown the beard in response to our recent move to a place with a rooftop garden. I'm not sure I understood the logic there -- perhaps they thought I would take oils and easel up on the roof, and daub away in a smock.
My wife, the arbiter of style in our house, eventually conceded that I looked, perhaps, like I was rich – perhaps a film director or a captain of industry on holiday – and couldn't care less what others think of me. That may have been damning with faint praise, or wishful thinking on her part. But the beard stayed, like a sin of ommission.
Now, it seems like every other guy my age has exactly the same kind of beard – a grizzly haze of grey, cropped short. Mine didn't so much strengthen my weak jawline as draw attention to it. Plus my wife didn't like kissing me so much because the hairs are short and sharp.
So after nine years, I shaved it off. Took the electric razor to the fuzzy bits, then lathered up and scraped the rest away with a disposable Schick. There was my face – a little more jowly than the last time I saw it without whiskers, but looking in rude good health. And new since last I'd shaved, a slight craggy dimple on the left side of my mouth when I smile.
I have to admit it was kind of sad, seeing the inconsequential pile of hair that was my mask for close to a decade. But my wife says I look years younger. She likes kissing me more. And hey -- I still have my beard-like attitude.

Nina Burleigh is an American writer and journalist who currently writes for Newsweek as a National Politics Correspondent.
She has also just outed herself as a Jew hater.
For those who don't know, Chabad is an Orthodox Jewish, Hasidic movement, known primarily for their Jewish outreach.
I am surprised given her job, she did not even attempt to hide the Jew hatred behind "anti-Zionist" language.
Please join me in contacting Newsweek to let them know who is in their employ.
Update: Interestingly enough, after I was informed about her tweet
Wowowowow, this is a Newsweek journalist and she is for real spreading this tropes of antisemitism???@HenMazzig @Israellycool @Ostrov_A https://t.co/UbVtqE7nM8
— Michael Elgort (@just_whatever) January 15, 2019
I wanted to check it for myself, but came up against this:
I do not recall ever having any interaction with her, so I assume this was a preemptive blocking.
Update: This is not the first time she has shown contempt for religious Jews.

Remember this Boy?
This is Immadi Prudhvi Tej who achieved all India first rank in the arguably one of the world's toughest exams IIT-JEE in 2011.
After the results came out he was interviewed by a famous news channel.He looked so docile and humble. When he was asked about his future plans,he instantly said he will crack civils examination and contribute his service to the nation in the role of an IAS officer.
I along with my family who were watching the interview thought he was crazy and made fun of his decision. I remember mocking his future saying "Einstein wants to serve as an IAS lol". It is indeed a brave decision to gear his thoughts in that direction despite cracking the first rank in IIT-JEE.
4 years later(2015) "Breaking news!!!!"
"Immadi Prudhvi Tej from IIT bombay becomes the first guy to be hired by Samsung(south Korea) company for whopping 1 crore package."
After reading the news I felt happy for him and at the same time I was awakened by his IAS dream and realised that he left his IAS dream for 1 crore. No wonder. Who would miss 1 crore?.
April 28,2018.Breaking news!.
"2011 IIT first ranker cracked 24th rank in civils examination."
God!God!God!!!!!!!!! This time I got goosebumps as I read the news. Yes he is crazy, crazier than I thought. Hatsoff for his confidence.
I instantly called my mom and informed about the news. She recalled the words he said 7 years back.
I learnt a lesson that I shouldn't mock someone who is so confident and yes I was fooled by myself. Prudhuvi Tej is never greedy for money. He resigned a great job and followed his conscience which brought him the glory.
Perhaps PRUDHVI TEJ and the word CONFIDENCE are synonymous.
