The young lions continue to roar on the big stage.
Rhian Brewster scored a hat-trick to fire England into the semi-finals of the Under-17s World Cup.
The Liverpool starlet was joined on the scoresheet by Morgan Gibbs-White to seal an historic place in the last four with a 4-1 win over USA.
After knocking out Japan earlier in the week, Steve Cooper's men proved too strong for their American counterparts in Margao.
The Young Lions made the breakthrough with just 11 minutes on the clock and it was as a result of some fine play from Man City's Phil Foden.
He beat several players down the right flank before sending in a low cross that goalkeeper Justin Garces could only parry away – Brewster was on hand to volley home the rebound.
Three minutes later the same duo combined again to double the advantage.
Foden slipped a splendid throughball into the path of Brewster and he produced a cool chip over the advancing keeper to double the lead.
Shortly after the hour mark England did inflicted the killer a blow through Gibbs-White.
Goalscorer Brewster this time tuned provider as his low cross was turned in by the Wolves man at the near post.
Thoughts were turning to the semi but Cooper's side suffered a scare with 18 minutes left on the clock as the States got themselves back into it.
Josh Sargent gave his side hope of an amazing comeback when he prodded home – but it proved to be a false dawn.
England retained possession well throughout the closing stages as they edged closer to full time.
Sergino Dest was red carded after a foul on Brewster inside the area, the the 17-year-old dusted himself off to thump home the penalty and claim the match ball.
All eyes will now turn to Sunday's clash between the Brazilians and Germans to see who is up next for the young English lions on Wednesday.

The vision of the future at Convair was pretty darn amazing. The B52 won out in the end, but they had an interesting entry in to the competition.
Never say never you never no
Awesome pic
All be damned, I have never seen this before. I thought it was not real until I read a comment saying this was in competition with the B-52. The Orange on the plane must mean prototype I'm guessing. Prop planes rule. Jets are nice but props are just flat out cool.
The Convair B-36 "Peacemaker"[N 1] was a strategic bomber built by Convair and operated solely by the United States Air Force (USAF) from 1949 to 1959. The B-36 was the largest mass-produced piston engine aircraft ever made. It had the longest wingspan of any combat aircraft ever built at 230 ft (70.1 m). The B-36 was the first bomber capable of delivering any of the nuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal from inside its four bomb bays without aircraft modifications. With a range of 10,000 mi (16,000 km) and a maximum payload of 72,000 lb (33,000 kg), the B-36 was the world's first manned bomber with an unrefueled intercontinental range. Until it was replaced by the jet powered Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, which first became operational in 1955, the B-36 was the primary nuclear weapons delivery vehicle of the Strategic Air Command (SAC), and the B-36 set the standard for range and payload for subsequent U.S. intercontinental bombers.
Must be Russian
Obsolete before it was even finished. But used anyways. A beautiful monster. Always wanted to see one in r/l.
+JETimmons Actually the B-45 Tornado was the first US built operational jet bomber.
Hey don't forget the B58 Hustler…my dad worked on those and the BUFF's
+Jim Conner Your dad worked on the B-58s and B-52s sweet. Was he an aviation mechanic?
Special weapons tech
Back when Chrome Dome was still active…I grew up on SAC bases.
+Jim Conner You know what "special" weapons mean in a strategic role like a bomber is used for, right?
Oh yeah.
Funny story…back in the 70s I used to shovel snow at my dads office on the knoll above the flight line at Griffis AFB in Rome, NY. He was the 1st Sgt. by then of the 416th FMS. I'd watch those BUFFs take off and land. I remember when they ordered the stand down…had a 52 in the air 24/7 fully loaded for how many years?
+Henry Linneweh totally American in creation AND ownership.
I remember as a very young boy (probably 7 or 8) living in eastern Colorado and seeing one B36 after another taking off from the airbase there. It really impressed this little boy. So much so, that he remembers it vividly 65 years later as an old man.
+Henry Linneweh are you kidding me lol
+Michael frumento nah, I was being half awake and half asleep, that other aircraft the YB60 was interesting, looks like a modern day airliner kind of and the old b47/b52 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_YB-60#/media/File:The_Convair_YB-60.jpg
+1David Ballard No SAC bases in Colorado but possible they were at Lowry AFB for an airshow. Though one B-36 per show was standard. In 1957-58, airshows and equipment testing was about their only mission. The B-52 took over. Carswell AFB, Ft. Worth, flew many training flights in that area either going out or coming back. Growing up in Central Illinois was a bad location to hear or see a late career B-36. Hearing them was the unforgettable part.
+Kurt Burgess You may be right. I was born in 1943 and lived for 5 or 6 years in the Las Animas, Colorado area. I would have been very young. My memory is of very large airplanes with 6 rearward facing engines. In any case I would have been very young and it was a very long time ago. I seem to recall dinosaurs wandering around.
It was a very cool airplane in any case.

A frequent frustration that I share with many local residents is the difficulty a significant number of us face accessing superfast broadband at home. It may come as a surprise – or unfortunately, may not – to read that four of the lowest twelve constituencies for premises with superfast broadband in the country are in London, and to add to this absurdity, that the worst of all these is the Cities of London and Westminster constituency, the seat from which our country is run!
Indeed, according to the most recent Ookla speed tests, residents in other European cities enjoy speeds twice as fast as those Londoners have to settle for, with our capital lagging well behind cities such as Bucharest, Vilnius, Stockholm and Bern. In short, it is something that undermines our reputation as a global city and damages businesses of all sizes.
In August I wrote to Ed Vaizey, the Minister of State for Culture and the Digital Economy, in my capacity as co-chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for London, raising my concerns on this issue and seeking clarification on what action the Government plans to take to address this problem. It is a matter MPs from all sides of the House have been keen to take up through the APPG, and you can find out more about our work through the link below:
I have also attached a copy of my letter to the Minister at the bottom of this page, which received some support in the press:
This has been helped by an incredibly well attended debate on superfast broadband last Monday, tabled by my colleague Matt Warman, in which I joined other MPs to call on the Government to host a 'not-spot' summit to discuss the rollout of broadband in Britain. In particular, I urged for greater transparency on the location of unused fibre infrastructure, something that is relatively simple but seriously hinders the ability of broadband providers to identify areas of unmet demand.
Progress is being made, and only last week BT announced that it would be extending fibre broadband to an additional 9,444 homes and businesses in the Borough over the next two years, taking BT's total coverage in Bromley to nearly 130,000 premises. This is fantastic news for everyone in Bromley and Chislehurst, but I believe there is still significant room for improvement. Please be assured that I will continue to push for a strengthened coverage in our area, posting updates on my website as and when they become available.

A trip in Agrigento
Popularity 1||
Last year, I got a very precious opportunity to teach in Italy. During the Chrismas vacation, I travelled the Sicily Island with my friends.
Agrigento is a city on the southern coast of Sicily, Italy, and capital of the province of Agrigento.It is renowned as the site of the ancient Greek city of Akragas (also known as Acragas in Greek, Agrigentum in Latin and Kirkent or Jirjent in Arabic), one of the leading cities of Manga Gracia during the golden age of Ancient Greece.
Although I have been to this ancient place, I only known a little about this city. My eyes were always attracted by the amazing scenery and I did not have time to remember all these historical stories!
The following pictures are the beautiful of this historical city!

Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. SLU nutritionist Jennifer McDaniel has some simple tips and ideas to help make it a breakfast of champions everyday.
Jennifer gives you an ideas of what is good vs bad when she grades some sample breakfasts.
8oz cranberry juice drink nutri grain bar
(contains 240 calories, breakfast should contribute between 1/4-1/3 of our daily calories…400-500 cal)
PB & J—GRADE C 2 slices white toast 1 tablespoon reduced fat peanut butter 1 tablespoon jelly water
( upgrade whole wheat toast, reg. peanut butter, apple butter and skim milk or yogurt)
MEXICAN TORTILLA WRAP—GRADE A 1 hard boiled or scrambled egg 1 whole wheat tortilla 1/2 cup light cheese 1/2 cup salsa 1 medium orange people who eat eggs for breakfast consumer less calories throughout the day and lose more weight.
******************** Breakfast: The Right Start Every Day
How long does it take to whip up the most important meal of the day?
Breakfast really means Break that Fast. If your idea of breakfast is a hot cup of coffee, you are basically be fasting for over 15-20 hours. Jump start that metabolism with some A.M. fuel!
Looking to shed some pounds? A survey of almost 3,000 dieters who have lost more than 30 pounds and have kept it off for at least a year suggests that 78% of dieters ate breakfast every day and 88% percent ate breakfast five or more days a week.
If you are tempted to skip breakfast to save calories by skimping on breakfast, remember that you don't gain weight eating this meal. You do gain weight if you skip breakfast, get too hungry, and then overindulge at night. You goal should be to fuel by day and eat a little less at night.
Sometimes clients will comment that when they eat breakfast, they seem to be hungrier and eat more throughout the day. If your breakfast is only a granola bar, that might enough to get the digestion juices flowing, but not enough to satisfy the appetite. The goal is to eat a substantial breakfast (400-500 calories) which is filling and leads to less cravings throughout the day.
Additional benefits? Breakfast eaters tend to have more strength and endurance, and better concentration and problem-solving abilities. On the flip side, those who skip breakfast often feel tired, irritable or restless in the morning.
Looking for some quick and easy ideas? If you do a little planning and have these ingredients on hand, these ideas should take you no longer than 5-8 minutes.
Formula for a Healthy Breakfast On the Go
Grain + Protein + Fruit = A Healthy Breakfast 1) Trader Joe's Blueberry-Bran Muffin + Plain Yogurt + Berries
2) Whole Wheat Tortilla (Tumaro's or La Tortilla Factory) +2 soy sausages (<!–////–>Morningstar<!–////–>) + light shredded cheese + banana
3) 2 slices whole-grain bread + 1-2 eggs + 3 tbsp feta cheese + pear
4) Whole wheat English muffin (Thomas or Schuncks) + 1 Tbsp peanut butter + apple
5) Oatmeal + Yogurt + 1 cup strawberries
6) Whole Wheat pita bread + 1 Tbsp peanut butter + Banana
7) 1 cup dry high fiber cereal (5 grams of fiber or more per serving) + ½ cup 1% milk or less + ½ cup frozen blueberries
8) Whole-wheat English Muffin + turkey breast meat + 1 hardboiled egg + 1 cup blueberries

Joining VeloClub not only supports the work we do, there are some fantastic benefits:
by Mark Zalewski
April 21, 2017
In today's CyclingTips Daily News Digest: Montaguti wins climber's sprint at Tour of the Alps, Pinot makes up ground; Ruffoni wins sprint in longest stage at Tour of Croatia; Australian Road Nationals to remain in Ballarat until 2020; British Cycling commissions 'medical review' after Wiggins' medical package scandal; ORICA-Scott changing Grand Tour strategy: Simon Yates with Chaves at Tour de France; Gilbert or Van Avermaet: which for Belgium at world championships?; Andrey Grivko given 45-day suspension for punching incident at Dubai Tour; Loss of Rabobank sponsorship affects Dutch federation youth programme; OVO Energy becomes title sponsor of Women's Tour, Tour of Britain; Nicole Van den Broeck passes away; More good news from Girdlestone's road to recovery; Van der Breggen and Valverde, an annual Fleche tradition; Video: The Tour De France Explained in Animation; Video: Oakley Cycling Sessions 2017.
Cycling Australia has today announced that the Australian Road National Championships will remain in the Victorian city of Ballarat until 2020. The national championships have been held in Ballarat — which lies 90 minutes west-north-west of Melbourne — every year since 2007 and all but two years since 2002. Cycling Australia's contract with the City of Ballarat contract concluded with this year's Road Nationals in January, prompting renewed discussion about alternative venues for 2018 and beyond. But newly appointed Cycling Australia chairman (and former Victorian premier) Steve Bracks told CyclingTips that while other locations around Australia had been considered — including Bathurst/Mount Panorama — it made the most sense to return to Ballarat.
"It's always tempting to say 'Well you could move it around the country and hopefully we get people bidding for these', but this was the best deal," Bracks said. "There was testing of other places in Australia — particularly in New South Wales — where we could have this, but no one could match the deal that we're getting from [Victoria's] major events corporation and from the City of Ballarat to keep it there."
The Road Nationals' extended stay in Ballarat has prompted criticism from some riders and fans who are keen to see a change in the course used for the meet's flagship events — the road races. Excluding a minor change to the course in 2013 — to include a larger opening lap — the circuit for the Nationals road races has been the same for 14 of the last 16 years. The 10.2km loop, which goes partway up Mt. Buninyong, is challenging and attracts large crowds, but is seen to favour only certain riders.
Cycling Australia confirmed in a press release that "a review of the famous Mount Buninyong circuit is currently underway" but it would seem unlikely that Mt. Buninyong would be removed from the road races entirely. As Ballarat Mayor Samantha McIntosh told CyclingTips, the climb isn't just an important part of the race — it's a key drawcard for spectators who come to watch the race live.
"I think that we've come up with something pretty spectacular that delivers for the cyclists but also delivers for the spectators," said Mayor McIntosh. "This particular event is not just about the cyclists on the track, as much as they're the ones that we all come along to cheer on. We want to know that it is a great spectator's event as well and it absolutely proves to do that exceptionally well with the mammoth crowds that line the hill on that big day."

After the free trial you can choose to remain on a free plan, but you'll be restricted to a max of 5 projects and will have limitations on collaboration.
Con Task dependencies missing
Nozbe is great, but one shortcoming relates to "task dependencies" in projects. You should be able to sequence your tasks so that, when you complete a task, the next one that needs to be done becomes the "priority" task for that project. This is a vital feature that will make the program dramatically more useful. The company claims to be working on this improvement.
Omnifocus doesn't work on non-Apple platforms.

How to Pick the Perfect Professional Photographer
What you need to consider before you pay that photography deposit.
If you've started the search for a photographer then you'll know just how many options there are. Before you go ahead and book a professional photographer for a shoot though, there are a couple important things to consider.
What style are you looking for?
Photographers have different styles so you need to decide on someone who can help you achieve the end result you are looking for. This applies to everything from wedding and maternity shoots to family and corporate shoots. Ask the photographer for some examples of their latest work to evaluate whether they can cater to your needs.
Research and review.
Before you invest in a professional photographer you need to do your homework. Get online to find a few customer reviews, browse around their website to view their latest work and have a look around their social media pages to find out what others are saying about them. These platforms will also give you a good idea of their personality and style. Some other important points to consider when researching photographers are:
Once you have done your research, create a short list of professional photographers that stand out for you. Get in touch with each of them to discuss your needs and to ask any questions that you might have. It's important that you chat with the photographer over the phone if not in person as this is the best way to get to know them and find out whether you'll be able to work with them. Feeling uncomfortable or stressed out around your photographer makes for bad photos.
It's important that you pick a photographer that you have confidence in. Your photos are there to last you a lifetime so while there is nothing wrong with helping out your photographer friend who has just started out, it's best to choose an experienced photographer for important events and occasions that you can't relive.

Simple pumps
Services such as cooling, lubrication, flow transmission for processing and delivering power in hydraulic systems, and many other applications are just some of the services that pumps are used widely in the industry, and the existence of these pumps has helped to overcome many industrial problems. Even pumps are widely used in many industrial, office, commercial buildings, municipal buildings or even residential complexes as a pumping system for daily operations.
The pumps provide about 27% of the electricity needed for production operations in the manufacturing sector. Also pumps are used as heating systems, air conditioners (HVACs), ventilation or for supplying water for heat transfer in the commercial sector.
Water transfer and treatment of water and sewage, or even land drainage in municipalities, have been assigned to pumps, and in residential and office complexes, pumps as water supplies, especially for the upper floors, are widely used. The variation in the use of pumps and the different needs of pumps in different parts has led to a diverse range of pumps present on the market today, where pumps can be from a horsepower or even Half a horsepower, up to several thousand horsepower, is also on the market.
In addition, pumps not only have different sizes, but also different types of pumps. By adding energy to a fluid, the pumps are usually classified.
In this regard, the pumps can be classified in the following categories:
- Types of positive displacement pumps that directly squeeze pressure to the fluid.
- A variety of centrifuge pumps, or, in other words, rotodynamic pumps that are used to increase the speed of fluids and actually convert kinetic energy to pressure.
There are different subsets in these categories as well. The types of lobes, sliding vane, pistons and screws are a subset of positive displacement pumps. And blended or mixed-flow, axial or propeller types and radials are also from the subsystem of centrifuge pumps.
Several factors have to be investigated to determine which pump is suitable for an application. However, many of these pumps often cover similar cases.
The pumps must have high reliability, because this is often criticized. Keep in mind that pump failure in cooling systems is so important that it can lead to excessive damage to equipment because of overheating the equipment.
Even the operation of the pump in the lubrication system, if not fitted, can damage the equipment. Reducing productivity in most power plants and petrochemical plants is due to pump failure, which is sometimes very tangible.
Many of the daily facilities require a pump for their operation, and the partial pump is an integral part of these operations. This requires having a proper maintenance and repair systemand also tends to promote the practice of sizing pumps conservatively to protect the optimal performance of the pumps and to ensure the needs of different systems in different conditions.
Many engineers often overlook the overhead of pumps in order to make sure that the pumps are suitable for the system's requirements and that they are sufficiently large enough. However, the larger the pump size, the more safety it becomes.
Unfortunately, the lack of attention to the proper size of the pump and the inappropriate pump selection can greatly increase the maintenance costs of the system. In addition, the large pumps itself cost and require more maintenance than pumps with smaller dimensions and volume, and they must be repaired and maintained within shorter periods of time.
The excessive energy generated by large pumps causes the components of the system to become loose, which leads to valve failure, plumbing stress and even excessive noise.
Pumping System Components
Pumps, prime movers, plumbing or piping, valves and end-use equipment such as heat exchangers, tanks, thermal equipment and hydraulic equipment are the main components of a typical pumping system. In Figure 1 you can see a typical pumping system with its components.
As we explained earlier, although the pumps are made in a variety of types and in a wide range of types and sizes, but in general, the pumps should be classified into two categories: positive displacement pumps and pumps Centrifugal. In fact, according to the way the pump add the energy into the liquid flow, this category of pumps is done.
The difference between these two types of pumps is in the operation and type of their pumping so that the positive displacement pumps pressurize fluid with a collapsing volume action often make the compression volume equal to the displacement of the system with each stroke or rotation of shaft But the centrifuge pumps work with the help of a rotary propeller and add kinetic energy to the electric current.
In this case, when the flow decreases in the pump diffuser section, the kinematic energy of the flume becomes pressurized.
Both positive displacement pumps and centrifugal pumps can provide a wide range of different types of applications, but nonetheless, centrifugal pumps are more commonly used and more common because both They are simpler and less risky. In addition, these types of pumps have a longer life expectancy and less maintenance.
Compared to positive displacement pumps, centrifugal pumps typically have less damage because they suffer from less abrasion and less need for replacement. Centrifugal pumps, as well as other pumps, require periodic mechanical sealing and packing, but the cost of these pumps is much lower and the cycle time is longer.
Another advantage of the centrifugal pumps is that these pumps can be used in a wide range of conditions, and they have almost no limitations. In addition, if this type of pump is used in inappropriate positions, the potential risk of damage to the equipment is lower, although precautionary measures should be taken in any case.
Centrifugal pumps have a variable flow or pressure relationship. When the centrifugal pumps are used against the high pressure system, the flow rate will be lower than those used by the low pressure system.
This is while centrifugal pumps are described by a flow or pressure relationship with a performance curve in which the flow rate is considered as a function of the head or pressure. Understanding these relationships is very important for choosing a suitable pump or designing an efficient system.
Positive displacement pumps, unlike centrifugal pumps, have a constant displacement volume. This makes the flow rate of these pumps directly equal to their speed and is proportional. In fact, the pressure in these pumps is determined by the system's resistance to current flow. Of course, it should be noted that positive displacement pumps have many special advantages that can be used well for residential and certain applications.
The most commonly used applications of the Positive displacement pumps include:
• For pumping liquids with high viscosity
- For systems that require high pressure along with low pump performance.
- For systems where the pump should be self- priming
- In systems that do not require a high shear force flow
- For systems that require accurate measurement and proper flow control.
- In systems where the pump efficiency is of great importance
Positive displacement pumps in each user application that are used should be considered in that system's safeguards or protection, like relief valves. The reason is the high power of these pumps, which can potentially move a large amount of fluid at high pressure, and this can put a lot of pressure on the components of the system.
For example, consider a system where all of its downstream pump valves are closed; in this case, a condition known as a deadheading, and this situation exists as long as an emergency valve operates. , So a piping or fitting failure occurs or the pump turns off. Of course, in these situations, valves are considered as safety valves to reduce the potential of the risk and protect the system, but relying on these relief valves cannot alone be a factor in not seeing this risk.
In addition, the softening valves or relief valves reduce the pressure by use of venting system fluid, which cannot be responsive to all types of systems and may be harmful and dangerous for systems that are not well designed.

Since 2009 Frontline has served over 500 young men and women in need of substance abuse treatment in the City of Valparaiso and served over 1,000 clients and families in total throughout Porter County. Annually, we have provided over $50,000 in client treatment scholarships and over 65% of Frontline clients have successfully completed our treatment program.
In order to remain one of the most cost effective treatment programs available Frontline has recently centralized our Porter County locations. Effective as of July 1, Frontline will no longer maintain our rented Valparaiso satellite office and clients will transition services to our rent free Chesterton or LaPorte location.
By centralizing office locations and resources by county, Frontline will not only be 100% rent free, but also allow for greater program expansion. We can now offer multiple groups simultaneously, including Family Group, and Art and Music Recovery programs at both office locations.
Additional 2015 Year-to-Date Updates:
- Through the receptive community support of LaPorte County, Frontline now offers our full Intensive Outpatient Program in the City of LaPorte.
- Through the generosity and funding provided by the John Will Anderson Foundation, Frontline now offers the Hazelden Co-Occurring Mental Illness and Substance Abuse Treatment Component for Families and Individual Counseling.
- The City of Valparaiso Mayors Community Barbeque for Charity has selected Frontline to be one of the non-profit recipients to receive the September 2015 funding to underwrite costs of clinical intakes for Valparaiso residents.
- Porter County Substance Abuse Counsel Grant – Support costs for Porter County residents to receive Clinical Intakes and for the purchase of drug screening kits.
So what's next?
- The Treatment Connection – A referring partners portal that will allow all referring agencies "real time" data to better ensure client compliance and support. Launch date – August 1, 2015
- The Service Exchange- A client job training program for clients earning less than $20,000 annually. Launch date- August 1 - Grant funding provided by ArcelorMittal.
- Client Transportation Model – Seeking Funding. Stay tuned!
We are grateful for the many opportunities to reach, change and save so many lives!

A barrier-breaking tenor sax legend.
Charles Lloyd Special Project
A barrier-breaking tenor sax legend.
Charles Lloyd has always danced to a different, and dazzling, drummer. From his childhood adventures with best friend, trumpeter Booker Little in Memphis, to Bartok studies at USC, to invaluable first gigs with Chico Hamilton and Cannonball, Charles was collecting influences and finally exploded inn 1966 with his iconic quartet album Forest Flower – with fresh-faced Keith Jarrett and Jack DeJohnette on board. This blasted Lloyd into the pop world with sales upwards of a million copies, and he toured the world's most influential rock venues until he suddenly disappeared into the forests of Big Sur for a decade. Forty years of spiritual discovery and musical experimentation with soul-mates like Michel Petrucciani and Bobby McFerrin have honed his sometimes stark, sometimes ecstatic, always original sound and musical sensibilities. Llyod's unerring knack for choosing adrenalizing young band-mates invariably ensures an inspiring concert experience, and this program features a lineup you won't hear anyplace else.
Personnel: Charles Lloyd, sax and flute; Larry Grenadier, bass; Julian Lage, guitar; Aaron Parks, piano; Eric Harland, drums & percussion

Have you been eating healthy and training right, only to not see any progress on the scale or dropping of those inches? We know these weight loss strategies may sound weird, but hang on and we'll explain why they can work. Try these unexpected strategies to see some changes!
Chocolate for Breakfast?
Sounds too good, or sweet, to be true right? If you have a sweet tooth or a candy craving, add some chocolate chips to your oatmeal, indulge in a chocolate protein smoothie, or experiment with a chocolate almond protein bar. Not only will this help with your cravings in a healthier way, but help you not to overeat or over indulge in sweets
later on!
Big Bites!
You may have always been told not to take big bites of your food growing up, but things have changed. Cutting up your food into bigger chunks will help you feel fuller faster, take longer to eat, and you will eat a lot less than usual. Even if you are eating a salad, veggies, or something else good for you, the chunkier, the better!
Use Green to Eat Green
Instead if sliding that credit or debit card for your food purchases, budget out and take cash out to use to buy groceries, snacks, or anything you need to eat on-the-go. Why cash? The more you pay attention to what kind of foods you are spending your money on, the less you will spend on food that is bad for you. Just like you pay attention to your calories, you want to pay attention to how you are spending on those calories.
Water Works
You are drinking water like you should, but instead of cold, try it warm. Some research shows that drinking a glass of warm or hot water before a meal can fill you up and make you feel fuller. This will automatically help you consume less food and is a good way to cut your portions without trying too hard.
Food Buddies
Eating in front of others, even strangers, can help you not only eat less but eat better! Research shows if you eat solo, you're more likely to eat more and less likely to make healthier choices. Don't have an eating buddy? Try eating lunch at a park bench, a cafe, or your lunch room at work.
The Blues
Sounds silly, but eating your meals on blue colored plates may help you eat less. Research shows that blue isn't he most appetizing color, so eating off blue plates, having a blue tablecloth, or even blue napkins and other dinnerware will help you keep your portions in control.
Plan It Out Loud
Meal planning helps and is the key to eating well, but many times our bodies, and brains, can change and influence our food choices. After grocery shopping and figuring our your meals for the week, write down on a dry erase board or chalk board your exact meals you will have for breakfast, lunch and dinner; every day of the week.
Track it
Instagram is the new way to "track" your food. Our Pale-E-Ro (personal trainer Rocio) is great at this!
Try taking pictures of what you eat everyday and log it. Going back to your pictures of meals can help you keep incredibly accountable. You may have thought you didn't eat as much in a certain week, but pictures speak a thousand words and don't lie!
Try these tips to help make healthy changes in your life. They may seem unusual, but making changes creates changes; in your body, mind, and soul. Be Happy and Healthy!

ABSTRACT: We aimed to clarify the role of miR-200b in cisplatin (CDDP) sensitivity in bladder cancer (BCa). CDDP resistant T24 cells (T24RC) were transfected with a miR mimic negative control (NC) or a miR-200b mimic, after which cells were treated with or without CDDP. We found that ectopic miR-200b expression re-sensitized the T24RC cells to CDDP. Gene expression microarray analysis revealed that the combination of miR-200b and CDDP affected genes involved in CDDP sensitivity and cytotoxicity. Overall design: CDDP resistant T24 cells (T24RC) were transfected with a miR mimic negative control (NC) or a miR-200b mimic using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX and incubated for 72 h. Transfectants were then treated with or without 1.6 μg/ml of CDDP for additional 72 h. Total RNA was extracted using a TRI Reagent.

In this study, we identified microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in cisplatin (CDDP) resistance in bladder cancer (BCa). After establishing CDDP-resistant BCa cell lines (T24RC and EJ138RC), TaqMan arrays revealed that members of the miR-200 family (miR-200b, miR-200a and miR-429) were downregulated in T24RC as compared to parental T24 cells. miR-200b was associated with CDDP sensitivity in BCa cells, and its downregulation was associated with CpG island hypermethylation. Pharmacological demethylation u ...[more]

With a rear New York-style laneway entrance and the ceiling covered with cyclone fencing, Darrell Felstead's re-imagined small bar is stripped back and raw.
It's a little like the owner/chef, who has recently fought his own way back from rock bottom, and in doing so, reassessed the type of restaurant and bar he'd like to present: "In a strange way, closing the business was the best thing that ever happened to me."
Felstead has created the small bar you come to when you don't want artifice – just good wine, bread and choose-your-own charcuterie and cheese. While it might have you wanting to buy a vowel, the 2013 CRFT 'Budenberg' Pinot Noir ($85) from the Adelaide Hills, is just that: a good, complex and intriguing wine. Throw in your own selection of perfectly ripened cheese – the Merco Valdeon ($6/50g) goat, cow and sheep's milk blue and the Cropwell Bishop Stilton ($6/50g) being favourites – some Bresaola ($5/50g) and a pot of Pear Chutney ($5.50) and it's 'hello dinner'.
Everything's served picnic-style on brown paper wrapped boards that had my inner hygiene freak smiling. When you add it all up, including ripper Fig and Aniseed Bread ($3) and a few fat Dill Pickles ($5), it isn't exactly cheap, but you do get precisely what you pay for.
