Most Texas prisons are without air conditioning, there's a federal lawsuit over the issue. However, the air conditioning in vans used to transport inmates is now being called into question as a potentially deadly mistake was made by a county sheriff's deputy.
Eric Yollick, who runs the Golden Hammer website, recently wrote about a Montgomery County Sheriff's deputy leaving several jail inmates "in a van unattended with the van turned off – without air conditioning – for approximately 2.5 hours," alleging that some were on the verge of unconsciousness after the August 9 event.
"No inmates died in the incident, but several sources inside the Sheriff's Office confirmed, on condition of anonymity, that some of the inmates were on the verge of unconsciousness," Yollick said.
We reached out to the Sheriff's department for comment on the incident and received the following statement from Lt. Scott Spencer:
"The incident involving the jail transport driver is currently under investigation by our Internal Affairs Unit. The deputy involved was reassigned to other jail duties pending the outcome of the Internal Affairs investigation. None of the inmates involved were injured nor were they sent to the hospital. They were evaluated by jail medical staff."
In a follow-up email, Spencer said, "We are taking this incident seriously and through the preliminary investigation it was two inmates and it was about hour and 20 minutes not 2.5 hours."
While the length of time is important, even an hour is still unacceptable.
An ABC13 report on the lethal effects of hot cars noted that, "When it's 95 degrees outside it can get to 114 degrees inside after 10 minutes and 129 after 30 minutes." So even in an hour and twenty minutes, conditions can become deadly. Records show that Montgomery County had a high of 95 on the day of the incident.
The investigation is ongoing and the resulting actions regarding the officer will certainly be something to look for. Montgomery County residents should be concerned and if it weren't for Yollick's reporting, the situation would have gone unnoticed.

New York is the city that doesn't sleep, and there is virtually something for everyone to enjoy in this vibrant urban jungle.
From the Empire State building to the Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller Centre to Central Park, the city offers an abundance of places to explore. With that in mind, a plane ticket to the big apple isn't always cheap, and therefore many Vancouverites have yet to discover its magic.
Luckily, this flight with Air Canada offers return airfare from Vancouver for $347.06 CAD including tax. The outbound flight departs Vancouver on Thursday, April 4 and returns on Wednesday, April 10.
New York City
NYC offers a plethora of things to see and do, as well as places to range of places to stay. Of course, staying in Manhattan or right in Times Square typically costs a bit more, but it may be worthwhile to stay downtown. Also, a CityPASS for New York gets you discounted admission into most of the city's big attraction. If you purchase one before you start visiting, it can reduce the overall cost of your trip.

When customers receive error messages, "should we repeat the MRI scan?" is one of the first questions the CorTechs Labs Support team is asked. It is actually uncommon for a patient to require a repeat MRI scan in order to produce a NeuroQuant report.
The NeuroQuant software is extremely sophisticated – it can process an array of exams. However, there are some circumstances that do require a repeat scan.
Situations where repeating the MRI scan may be useful:
Situations where repeating the MRI scan will not be worthwhile:
3D T1 sagittal MRIs are needed to obtain ideal brain morphometry for volume analysis. In order to achieve its high-quality segmentation results, NeuroQuant has been optimized for processing 3D T1 sagittal MRI acquisition sequence in 1.2, 1.5 and 3.0T scanners.
As a quality control feature, NeuroQuant contains a data filtering mechanism which provides verification of study scanning parameters prior to initiating processing. Ensuring proper processing preserves the accuracy of the segmentation results and therefore, the accuracy of the calculated brain volumes. To protect the accuracy of the results, NeuroQuant prevents analysis when sequences other than 3D T1 are sent for processing.
The unsupported sequences provided as examples below will generate an error message.
Another example that will generate an error message happens when the wrong series (or entire exam) is sent. When an entire exam is sent instead of just the required 3D T1 NeuroQuant scan, there can be a delay in the return of NeuroQuant results, which will result in multiple error messages being sent back to the PACS.
More information about using and processing NeuroQuant can be found here.
*NeuroQuant software is intended for use only with specifically defined MRI acquisition sequences. Deviation from the recommended acquisition protocols can affect the quality of the results. You can download the recommended scanner settings here.
Do you have a technical question or support need?
The CorTechs Labs Support Team is available Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 5 PM PT. Emailing firstname.lastname@example.com is the easiest and best way to reach the CorTechs Labs Support Team during and after hours. If you send your email directly to a specific team member, he/she could be busy assisting another customer, and responses may be delayed.

Tuesday, January 01, 2008
I wish you a year filled with peace, happiness and joy. We rang in 2008 with good food, good friends and lots of fun. (dancing to "She's A Brick House", "YMCA", and the like - I'm a bit sore this morning - LOL) 2007 was a year full of challenges however I know for a fact that when God closes one door, he opens a window. We've survived the challenges and come out of it with wonderful friends. Friends to cherish and enjoy!
I've spent the past week reflecting about 2007 and mentally making plans for 2008. I made a long mental list of everything I want to accomplish in 2008 and was feeling very proud of myself. And, then yesterday I read an e-mail from the spouse of a client/friend informing me that my client/friend passed away peacefully in her sleep the day after Christmas. Stunned and shocked are words to express how I felt. After I shook off the feelings of being stunned and shocked I spent time with my thoughts. I thought about that same ole cliche about life being too short, etc. So, I've made one and only one resolution for 2008 to seek joy to fill every day. I wear my heart on my sleeve, as so many of you know, so seeking joy to fill every day is going to be a challenge for me. I'm going to try very hard not to let the "quiltzillas" and "nay sayers" of the world disrupt my life. Can I do this? I don't know but I'm going to try.
In seeking joy to fill every day I'm going to attempt to stop fretting about how many quilts I own, how many flimsies need to be quilted, how many projects I have started or want to start or how much fabric I own. In the grand scheme of things it just doesn't matter as long as my world is filled with joy. :-)
Sometime in 2007 I was chastised for blogging and I have thought long and hard about discontinuing my blog. I've asked myself if discontinuing my blog would make me happy - the answer is NO! I'd miss so much about my blogging - the friends I've made all over the world; the sharing; the inspiration; the laughter I've shared with so many; the tears I've shed for and with some of you - enough said!
Thank you so much for being my "International Friendship and Quilting Guild".
Happy New Year, In Friendship!

Oh Darlene, one thing I have learned over the years is that I no longer really care too much what others say or think about what I choose to do. I still try to do that everyday. Practice saying "oh really? Well I do things to please myself, not other people!" The only thing I really fret about still is a need for inner perfection.
You are a wonderful person! Don't let anyone ever take that from you, or make you feel bad for doing what you can afford, love to do, still CAN do and enjoy! Poo on them!

I so happy you've decided to continue blogging. I think we all have had bad comments on our blogs. Don't let these stupide jealous commenters distroy our joy about blogging or our passion for our hobby. We are having this wonderful blogging friendship and I hope we still will have.
Happy new sewingyear!!!

Happy New Year! I am so glad you will put aside what others say to you negatively and hope you realize it is ignorance or jealousy that feeds their opinions. A true friend would say "Whatever makes you happy Darlene, as long you are hurting no one, is what you should continue to do!" That means 100 more quilts for you to own and another post per day to blog!!!! ((((hugs))))

Darlene, I am SO happy that you are not stopping blogging!!! The comments others have made pretty much say it all. Those persons who offer criticism and advice don't deserve validation. Ignore them and they'll move on. Just keep on keepin' on! I can't wait to see what 2008 brings! So glad we're friends!

Absolutely the most wonderful, perfect resolution you could possibly make. I've been thinking about this lately, since Porch Rocker told us about her son's diagnosis of stage 4 GLB brain tumor at age 38. My sister died of GLB after a short 3 month battle 13 years ago now. One just never, ever knows. There is always someone else who is right there ready to rain on our parade. I really think it's probably from envy - they many not even realize it. They are so envyous of the happiness you've found that they haven't, so they are determined to do what they can to take away that happiness. How very sad for them. You enrich so many lives daily, including mine. Continue to be what you are - it's why we all love you - and live by your perfect resolution every day.
- 12:56 PM, January 01, 2008
Dearest dearest Darlene. Your words are perfect. Life really is too short for all the nonsense the energy vampires try to drag us into. All we have is this very moment, here, today.
Thank you for bringing joy to my heart each and every day.

What a beautiful post, Darlene. My thoughts have been much like yours - what do I really want to accomplish this year? I have decided, just like you, to find joy in every day. That in itself is a great accomplishment, I'm thinkin'. Don't let anyone rain on your parade, my friend!
I am so glad you are not leaving the blogging world - I would miss your posts so very much, and, more importantly, I would miss your friendship.

Darlene - One of my personal goals for 2008 is to put myself and family first and not worry about what others think. I'm like you and tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and end of fretting about things that in the scheme of the big picture just don't matter. Happiness for myself and family is all I will put on my plate for now on. So please yourself and your loved ones and you will always find your joy everyday.
Happy Joyful New Year - Karen

Even at times like this the NHS is never far from the headlines. So it is a little surprising that the body charged with collecting patient experiences and conveying them to the various parts of the NHS is not better known.
I visited Healthwatch Kent last week, and they are very eager to hear from you if you have any complaints or praise about the William Harvey, your GP, or any other part of the health service. Even more they are looking for volunteers to help with inspections of health facilities.
Apart from a small full-time staff, Healthwatch Kent relies on volunteers, and at the moment has 60 across the whole county. This inevitably means that they are stretched thinly in certain areas, and Ashford is one of them. If you have any time to help please get in touch with them.
Healthwatch has rights of access to hospitals and other health institutions, so can do inspections, either planned or unannounced. It is also closely involved with consultations about major changes in the health system in Kent. For example the discussions about how to reconfigure the system, including where to have the A&E departments in East Kent, are monitored by Healthwatch to make sure that the community's views are genuinely being heard.
It is also a useful resource if you have a question like "Where can I find an NHS dentist?" Also, if you have an individual complaint it may be a good place to start the formal process, as they will be able to give advice about how to go about it.
The free phone number for Healthwatch Kent is 0808 801 0102, and the email is firstname.lastname@example.com. If you want to help them by becoming one of their volunteers, do get in touch.

I do hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day!!!
Now... On to the Tackle it Tuesday challenge!
This week's challenge was L tangles. I looked at Tangle Patterns and instantly thought "OH! There are a lot of them! I'm going to create a string with TONS of spots! And I did. I was almost sorry I had because this took forever and the kids started begging for food.... but.... then I was glad I did because I ended up with THIS!
And I love it! I love lacing as the string and I just think it's something completely different and other than the few minutes of "what tangles am I going to still use" and "am I ever going to finish this one?I'm hungry!" thoughts I did enjoy doing it!
The tangles I used for this one were (I'll go left to right, top to bottom)
- Lacing- as my string
- Leaflet
- Lazy Eights
- LinQ
- Longwood
- Lanterns
- LilyPads
- Lichen
- Luv-A
- LoobyLoo
- LLilly
- LaBel
- Lacy
- Lines
- Lukiline
- Linked
- Lace Curtains
I didn't do much shading on the background patterns or even a lot of embellishment because it was already pretty busy, but I think shading ONLY the lacing gave it a nice depth.
Now, to figure out what to do next... Hmmmm... so many blank surfaces.

Right Sector posts photos of its soldiers killed in attack on Butivka mine
Commander of the Ukrainian Right Sector Volunteer Corps Andriy Stempitskiy has posted photos of Right Sector fighters who were killed during a reportedly artillery attack on the Butivka coal mine in eastern Ukraine in the night from Saturday to Sunday.
"Eternal glory and honor to warriors of the Ukrainian Right Sector Volunteer Corps! Look at these guys, all those who have said today that no one had been killed and that it was a fake, lies and strange games – Oleksandr Motuzianyk, look. Defense Ministry speechwriters who claim that no one had died – you look too. The journalists who deliberately, on orders from above, did not report or ignored this – look too. And let their faces stand in front of your eyes as a reminder that there are things more important than money and positions," he wrote on Facebook.
Read alsoUkraine reports record number of Donbas casualties in last four weeksAs reported earlier, the Butivka coal mine was partially ruined due to a militant artillery attack, which caused the collapse of the mine's facility, resulting in four deaths among Right Sector fighters under the debris. Ten troops were reported to have been wounded.
The Anti-Terrorist Operation headquarters did not include these casualties in an official KIA, WIA and MIA daily update, saying that the Right Sector fighters did not belong to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Replacing a single-storey bungalow with a highly contemporary two-storey house of bold geometric forms – built to take in views across Poole Harbour – was a quest for minimalist perfection for one self-builder
In a road where modest 1960s bungalows stand shoulder to shoulder with striking contemporary new builds – all angular lines and glittering glass – Simon Stanborough's new home is totally unique.
After years spent debating how best to remodel his single-storey bungalow, during which time three separate planning applications were approved, he finally took the decision to demolish the property altogether.
"My father's a property developer, who has worked with Western Design Architects on various projects, and I also became friends with the company's founder, Phil Easton," says Simon, who previously lived in a traditional-style farmhouse he built, which was designed by the practice.
Established in 1986 by Phil, when it was based in his garden shed, the business has grown into a respected and award-winning Dorset design practice. Coincidentally, Western Design Architects had also designed a pair of highly contemporary properties in Simon's road: striking timber-clad boxes, perched on a concrete plinth and constructed around a steel frame.
Simon and Phil are fellow motorbike enthusiasts, who have travelled to far flung corners of the world on their bikes, and a spacious garage was one of Simon's top requirements to house and maintain his bikes.
"I bought the bungalow, which was in a tired but decent condition, back in 2005 mainly because of the location and views across Poole Harbour," explains Simon, a claims manager. "The first planning application in 2008 was for a new pitched roof and first floor to convert it into a two-storey house, which was approved.
"Three years later I worked with Western Design Architects, once again, and applied to replace the pitched roof with a second storey and a flat roof, as well as extending to the rear to infill an existing corner. A year on, in 2012, we revised that application, but despite gaining approval I never went ahead with the work."
Situated in the charmingly-named Lilliput, less than a five-minute drive from Shore Road Beach in Sandbanks, the 1960s bungalow stood in an area which is slowly being redeveloped, with contemporary new builds springing up along Simon's road inspiring him to consider a similar project himself.
"It turned out to be more expensive to convert the roof of the bungalow when compared to demolishing it and building a new house, so in 2016 I went back to the architects to put together a new application for a contemporary new build home, exactly how I wanted it and without the restrictions of the existing building," he explains.
The low-slung bungalow consisted of painted brickwork walls with a brick plinth, plain concrete roof tiles and white PVCu windows: a simple design of little intrinsic merit, which was no longer appropriate for its developing surroundings.
Orientated east-west, the plot enjoys enviable views of Poole Harbour and Simon was keen to make the most of the fantastic location with his new design proposal. Working with Phil Easton and project designer Rianna Holliss of Western Design Architects, he was determined to build something with architectural merit which would also be ideally suited to his lifestyle.
"Having designed two other properties further up the road, we knew the outlook from upstairs was going to be incredible – with panoramic views over Poole Harbour, Sandbanks and to the Purbecks," explains Rianna, who also lives in Poole and says she thoroughly enjoyed working on the design.
"Simon was quite open with his brief and flipping the layout to place open plan living accommodation upstairs with bedrooms on the ground floor made sense – especially as he was keen to have a large and impressive entertaining space."
The upside-down house was therefore designed with four ensuite bedrooms, a garage, dressing room and utility on the ground floor, and an open plan kitchen/living/dining area upstairs.
"We started sket facing the view," says Rianna. "Working within the exact footprint of the original bungalow and designing for the narrow, sloping site, she admits the project was a challenge: "It took quite a long time, and Phil and I experimented a lot with the design until we were happy, changing some details multiple times because we wanted everything absolutely perfect to meet Simon's expectations. It had to be really crisp."
The site stands on a hill, which rises up roughly three metres from the rear to the front of the plot, west to east. The new design proposal took account of the sloping nature of the plot and reduced the overall height of the first design, which had been approved back in 2007 and consisted of a pitched roof approximately 1.7 metres taller than the latest application.
"We positioned the house further away from a neighbouring property on the ground floor, where there are glazed openings, allowing the first floor of the design to protrude out, improving the outlook to the rear without limiting neighbours' views," explains Rianna.
Visually, the new house could not be more different from its predecessor. Angular and minimal, the linear design exudes a pared-back masculinity, with two main rectangular forms on the front facade – one vertical and one horizontal – cantilevering out over the garage almost to the existing building line of the neighbouring property.
These letterbox-like forms are inset at different planes and are joined by a recessed glass link, which accentuates the main entrance to the house. White render and contrasting pale grey cladding further define the building's lines and echo other contemporary houses in the area.
This style is replicated to the rear of the house, with an L-shaped element outlining a large glazed area. First floor glazing consists of four main panels: two fixed at either end, with two sliding central doors opening onto a Juliet balcony.
The L-shaped white frame protrudes out further than the glazing by 0.5 metres to serve as 'blinkers' and prevent overlooking into neighbours' gardens. To respect neighbours' privacy, there are no windows to the first floor side elevations facing neighbouring properties to the north and west.
"Rianna and Phil encouraged me to pull together ideas to share on a Pinterest board, and almost all the houses I preferred were white rendered and angular, with flat roofs," explains Simon.
"The house designs came from all around the world, but saving them together on a Pinterest board showed common themes, which Rianna then worked into her own design. Everything was tailored to my preferences rather than what she thought I should have."
The existing driveway remained in the same position, allowing vehicles to access straight from the road, and an accessible path and a level threshold to the entrance door avoid the need for steps and improve disabled access.
"Western Design Architects were great to work with, from the first approval in 2007 all the way through to the third and final approved design in 2016," says Simon.
"They always understood what I wanted to achieve and helped me pinpoint what I needed within the design, based on my lifestyle and hobbies. As for the final look and form of the house, I couldn't be happier with what Phil and Rianna created."
Planning permission was granted for the replacement dwelling, and Simon moved out so that his old home could be demolished. The site was cleared in readiness for the new steel- framed structure to be built in its place, using wooden infill panels with wood fibre insulation, to which the render was applied. The cantilever is achieved thanks to the building's steel frame, and a single-ply roofing system was chosen for the flat roof.
All the windows are aluminium-framed, and the rear fixed glass panels and sliding doors in the living area were made bespoke, due to their huge size. The grey external timber cladding is apparently the first of its kind to be used in the south of the UK.
"I built the house with my eldest son, Henry, who I can't praise enough. He took the bull by the horns and was 100 per cent dedicated every step of the way – I don't know what I would have done without him by my side throughout the whole process," says Simon, who referred closely to the original SketchUp model of the house during the build process.
"We worked all hours, doing most of the work ourselves to save as much money as we could. The house was built in a year and was liveable, but we then spent another year fine-tuning all the details."
Simon lived offsite at a friend's house during the build and invested a great deal of time and energy ensuring that finishes were of an extraordinarily high standard.
"I'm a perfectionist and monitored every stage really closely," he says. "With so much natural light, any flaws are easily visible – especially with such crisp straight lines – and I knew that errors would be glaringly obvious."
Internally, the finishes are predominantly white walls and ceilings, with contemporary concrete flooring and exposed metal detailing around internal doors, continuing the pared-back feel. Natural light from the vast swathes of aluminium-framed glazing in the house reflects across these surfaces, and is complemented by thoughtfully designed artificial lighting.
"Most of the main furniture pieces – for example the chess table in the main entrance hall and the pool table that doubles up as a dining table – were purpose made by different specialists," says Simon.
From the entrance, a bespoke cantilevered stair with illuminated walnut treads and a glazed balustrade leads up to the open plan first floor. Here, the kitchen has been carefully designed so that at no time is it necessary to turn your back on the view or to guests.
"I employed a specialist painter to create feature walls in the main living space and upstairs toilet," recalls Simon. "They add interest and appear textured, like wood or stone, without detracting from the architecture," he adds.
Cleverly, the emphasis has been directed outwards so that the views are captured and form the main focus of the new house. "Previously you couldn't see very much at all from the ground floor, but by putting the living space upstairs and introducing so much glass – it's made the best possible use of the site," says Simon, who recently returned to the UK after travelling.
"I'm very glad that I didn't settle for just converting the old bungalow, as I'd originally planned. Now I have an energy efficient home, designed exactly to my needs, which is perfect for entertaining. It ticks all the boxes, such as having enough garage space, and has allowed me to get involved in a really exciting project."

After complete module two of the course with the mix feelings of having achieved a decent result in the assignment and the anxiety of having not enough time to end a lot of readings related to portrait photography, I face module three with the introductory exercise where I have to explore my photographic archive looking for "mirrows and windows".
What is a mirror? According to John Szarkowski, head of the photography department at the MOMA museum who used first time these terms in the introduction of the exhibition held at MOMA in 1978, a mirror is "a romantic expression of the photographer's sensibility as it projects itself on the things and sights of this world". What characterizes this photographic approach is the pursuit of a personal vision of the world. And in the "windows" vision the photographer and the camera are mere explorers and spectators of the outside world.
It's worth reading the entire introduction, a short document, that mentions how the two major influences of these two photographic visions were Minor White's magazine Aperture as a prototype of "mirrow", and the Robert Frank's book "The Americans" as a prototypical "window".
In the exhibition the leading "mirrow" practicioneres were Paul Caponigro, Jerry N.Uelsmann, Robert Heinecken and the painter Robert Rauschenberg. And in the "windows" group the introduction includes Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, Diane Arbus, William Eggleston, Stephen Shore and Joel Meyerowitz.
The introduction concludes stating that this separation exists in photography from its beginning, exemplified in the figures of Alfred Stieglitz (mirror) and Eugene Atget (window), and what establishes what defines each kind of photography is: "is it a mirrow, reflecting a portrait of the artist who made it, or a window, through which one might better know the world?"
The exercise asks to explore our own archive looking for 5 pictures of each group. In the mirror pile I put some pictures which resonate with certain intensity for me, because they are link to circumstances of my life, or they were made in response to personal situations. This pictures are landscapes of my memory, and they are undoubtedly connected to my life.
The windows section is related to street photography, and here I collected situations that I found visual interesting. Most of them were made to complete a collection of visual memories. I don't have any special attachment with the situations depicted in the pictures, and they are the result of casual encounters.
It wasn't difficult at all to separate the pictures in these two groups. In most cases, the classification was obvious. But in some other pictures from my archive, the discernment is not so evident because the encounter with the "window" scene took place in an area on where I have strong feelings or personal connections. I would say that a second reading of these picture maybe could find "mirror" reflections on them. Like in a real window, where you can watch your own reflection. For example, the picture of the man and the boy crossing the street was clearly a "window" one, but because it was selected and published in a magazine I have a special connection with it, but that doesn't mean that it reflects any personal vision of me.

Macrobiotic Practice & Quality of Blood
Posted by Shima Shimizu on
The Origins of Macrobiotics
"Macrobiotics is neither an empirical folk medicine nor a mystical, palliative, religious, scientific, spiritual, symptomatic technique. It is the biological and physiological application of Oriental philosophy and medicine, a dialectical conception of the infinite universe. This approach is five thousand years old and shows the way to happiness via health. It is very simple in practice. Anyone can adopt it in his / her daily life, anywhere, anytime, if he / she genuinely wants to be free of all physiological or mental difficulties.
It is because of the Macrobiotic teachings of Lao-tse, Sun Tzu-Wu, Confucius, Buddha, Nagarjuna, the Shintoists, and long before them, the sages who produced the greatest medical science of India, that millions of people in the Far East enjoyed happiness and freedom, culture and comparative peace for thousands of years. They, along with the ancient Greeks, knew that a sound, clear mind cannot exist in a tense, disturbed body."
~ George Ohsawa, "Zen Macrobiotics"
Quality of Blood
The macrobiotic view is that the good quality of blood is the prime source of our health and well-being. Blood quality is created by the quality and choices of food we eat. If you want to change your health, learn how to change the quality of your blood. Understanding which foods lead to acidic and which to alkaline blood is essential.
Blood is weakened by sugar, too much fruit, fruit juice, honey, soy-milk, rice milk, rice syrup, barley malt, maple syrup, "raw" sugar, Sucant, Stevia, Blue-Green Algae, spices, oil and fat, potassium-rich foods (e.g., fruits, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers), preservatives, additives and chemicals from artificial foods.
Long-standing withdrawal and suppression of natural emotional expression also leads to an acidic quality of blood which weakens the immune system and consequently leaves the body vulnerable to infections and diseases.
According to the macrobiotic health theory, foods which are high in concentrated sugar (natural or artificial) will quickly lead to poor quality of blood. This includes over consumption of fruits and juices, organic or commercial.
Foods which are extremely rich in potassium but low in sodium can also create an acidic blood condition. These include tropical fruits, and vegetables such as potato, tomatoes, eggplant, avocado, and beets. These foods are suggested for occasional consumption.
Sweet beverages will weaken the blood faster than any other food. Soft drinks, fruit drinks, natural drinks such as honey-sweetened or fruit-sweetened carbonated beverages can quickly weaken the system. Soymilk and rice milk make acidic blood when used regularly, especially in individuals who already lack energy, feel cold, are anemic, or are fatigued.
Do any, of these five areas apply to you?
Let us know in the comments below. We love feedback!

It's widely acknowledged that the estate agency sector has a challenge with staff turnover, especially when it comes to negotiators.
I met with a well known agency recently who stated that they typically experience attrition rates in the region of 30% - 40% each year, against a national average across all sectors of 18%! As reported by Acas, the average cost of replacing an employee is £30,000 when you consider the loss of productivity caused by the time it takes for a new recruit to get up to speed, not to mention the logistics and costs associated with actually finding a replacement. Motivating and retaining staff often go hand in hand, and for agents that do this successfully, the financial benefits are clear. At a time when high street agents face stiff competition from online competitors for landlords and talented staff, retaining and motivating negotiators has never been more important.
What motivates lettings negotiators?
Much has been written about human motivation; from Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to Herzberg's dual-factor theory. This is a huge topic covered in many books and there is a great one written by Dan Pink called 'Drive' that I'd highly recommend (if you don't have time, you can watch a brilliant RSA Animate video of it here). For this post, I'd like to focus on some specifics of motivation that relate to lettings negotiators, or rather, the majority of people in sales-centric roles today. There's a good chance that most, if not all of your negotiators are Millennials. Generation Y (as this group is also known) craves some specific things in the workplace, and it's important to understand what these are.
Millennials value autonomy, have a desire to be involved in decision-making, and enjoy collaboration. Micro-management is likely to lead to disengagement and make them feel suffocated. They also have an insatiable appetite for developing themselves, and thrive on regular feedback. Linked to their desire for development, Millennials seek career progression faster than other generations and are keen to develop leadership skills. Finally, they are typically tech-savvy and expect to use intuitive technology in the workplace to help them be more productive.
3 tips for motivating your negotiators
- Create a culture of coaching and feedback
This really is a win-win for your agency and staff! By fostering a solid culture of feedback and coaching, you give your Millennial negotiators what they crave whilst also developing them to be more effective in their roles. Consider blocking out time each week for group coaching and feedback. Ask your negotiators to come prepared to talk through tricky negotiations that week, which the team can roleplay together or ideally, use a phone system that records calls and listen to a few. Nominate one negotiator to provide positive feedback on the call and another to offer constructive.
- Help to develop leadership skills
Millennials crave more responsibility and want to develop their leadership skills, so find ways of providing this to them. Consider getting them involved in the interview process for new hires as this develops new skills and can be a great way of including them in the hiring decision-making. It also sends a positive message about how you value the wider team's input to any potential new hires. Also, consider rotating responsibilities for chairing daily or weekly team meetings. Not only does this take the pressure off management having to do it all the time, it also gives your negotiators an opportunity to develop new skills and feel involved.
- Provide intuitive technology that enables success
As Dan Pink highlights in his book 'Drive', people crave mastery; they want to excel, feel like they are succeeding and spend their time doing things that directly contribute to that success. For negotiators, this means spending more time prospecting, engaging with landlords and doing more viewings with good tenants. Provide your negotiators with tools and technologies that remove time-consuming and menial admin such as having to hand-write application forms, re-key data into systems or manually send multiple emails that could be automated. Intuitive tools like Goodlord can make negotiators more productive and their roles more fulfilling.
3 tips for retaining your negotiators
- Be up-front during the interview process.
Don't over-exaggerate earning potential and give new hires an accurate picture of the company and the role, 'warts and all'. Involving your negotiators in the interview process has the added benefit of providing an opportunity for candidates to ask them open questions about what it's like to work at the company.
- Arrange regular and honest one-to-one meetings
These aren't just a way for managers to track staff's performance, they're an opportunity to encourage employees to express their feelings, concerns and aspirations. An honest and open discussion can sometimes reveal that a team member is dissatisfied, and enable you to quickly sort out issues that could have eventually led to their leaving.
- Conduct proper exit interviews.
Make sure time is taken by someone other than the departing employee's line manager to conduct a thorough and honest exit interview. Exit interviews enable you to find out exactly why someone is leaving and can provide valuable insights into what you can do to retain staff in future.
The estate agency market is clearly going through a period of change; competition is increasing from well-funded online agents and the impending tenant fee ban will erode, on average, 22% of a letting agency's annual revenues. The high street agents that survive and thrive during this challenging period will be those that provide a differentiated level of service to customers. Retaining and motivating frontline staff such as negotiators is a crucial way of ensuring customer service levels remain high.

IA Founder David Mourning Receives 2015 Legend Award
The firm's leader is recognized for helping define best business practices in commercial design.
On January 30, Contract magazine honored David B. Mourning, AIA, FIIDA, with its 13th Legend Award. The recognition was conferred at the publication's 36th annual Interiors Awards breakfast in New York. The Legend Award is an annual distinction bestowed on one individual for a life of contributions to the practice of interior architecture. Previous recipients of the Legend Award include Michael Graves, Carl Magnusson, Eva Maddox, and Trisha Wilson.
"Mourning has played a significant role in not only leading a firm but in defining the modern practice of contract interior design," writes John Czarnecki, editor in chief, in his monthly editorial. "The business of contract interior design in this country in the last three decades has absolutely been shaped by some of the best business practices that Mourning espouses."

The CEO and Executive Vice President of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), Cheryl Durst, Hon. IIDA, also acknowledged Mourning's business acumen in a 10-page story about the IA Chairman's career. "David Mourning is among those pioneers in our industry who have been widely credited with creating the modern design firm," says Cheryl Durst, Hon. FIIDA, executive vice president and CEO of IIDA.
Read Lydia Lee's full story for Contract.
IA Interior Architects is the world's largest employee-owned architecture firm dedicated exclusively to workplace design. Since Mourning established the company in 1984 in Los Angeles, the company has grown to encompass 17 locations across the U.S., with international offices in London and Toronto, and a global alliance partnership.
"David Mourning has contributed talent, wit, intellectual rigor, and an infinite focus on strategy to this profession that we know as commercial design," Durst tells Contract in Czarnecki's editorial. "And he has significantly given and accorded great respect to the role of interior design—and therefore interior designers."
Read Mourning's career in his own words, as written in 2014:
IA is a global firm of architects, designers, strategists, and specialists. We focus exclusively on environments through the lens of interior architecture—a radical idea in 1984, when IA was founded. We are highly connected agents of change, committed to creativity, innovation, growth, and community.

July 15th, 2019, 16:25 Posted By: wraggsterStreamElements' latest quarterly State of the Stream report shows declining streaming viewership across the industry's biggest battle royale games.
The report, released by the streamer production platform in conjunction with Twitch stats/analytics site SullyGnome, showed declines from April through June for hours watched of Fortnite, Apex Legends, and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds across streaming platforms Twitch, YouTube Live, Facebook Gaming, and Mixer.
Fortnite's hours watched were down 3.66% to just over 300 million hours watched. It was the fourth consecutive quarter of declines for the game, even though it remains the most watched game on streaming platforms. Fortnite has more than double the hours watched of any game outside the top four, and the gap between it and League of Legends (the next most watched game) actually increased this quarter because Riot's hit saw a larger decline in viewership.
EA's Apex Legends saw the most precipitous drop of any game in the second quarter, going from third place with almost 183 million hours watched in Q1 to out of the top 10 entirely (less than 65.4 million hours watched) in Q2.

The development of highly talented young singers from all over the world and providing them with help on the way to an artistic career – these are the aims of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein Opera Studio.
Maria Carla Pino Cury (Brazil/Chile), Daria Muromskaia (Russia), Karina Repova (Germany), Andrés Sulbarán (Venezuela) and Andrei Nicoara (Romania) each enter the second year of their membership of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein's Opera Studio in the 2019/20 season. This aims to promote exceptionally talented young singers from all around the world and help them on the way to an artistic career.
Together with the tenor Gürkan Gider, mezzosoprano Valerie Eickhoff and baritone Luvuyo Mbundu they will continue to prepare for their profession this season with regular solo repetition, repertoire building, ensemble rehearsals, role studies, audition training, voice coaching and scenic workshops.
However, a key element of the studio is their integration into the ensemble and into the Deutsche Oper am Rhein's programme of rehearsals and performances as what opera singing really means as a profession can only be learnt on stage. This season the young singers will take over roles in operas including 'Queen of Spades', 'I puritani', 'Salome', 'Don Carlo', 'Macbeth', 'Hänsel und Gretel', 'La traviata' and 'Der fliegende Holländer'.

Oil hits US$80 a barrel on concerns about Iran supply
[LONDON] Oil prices hit US$80 a barrel on Thursday for the first time since November 2014 on concerns Iranian exports could fall, reducing supply in an already tightening market.
Brent crude futures hit US$80 and stood up 57 US cents at US$79.85 per barrel at 0955 GMT.
US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were up 64 US cents at US$72.13 a barrel, also their highest since November 2014.
The prospects of a sharp drop in Iranian oil exports in the coming months due to renewed US sanctions following President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from an international nuclear deal with Tehran has lifted oil prices in recent weeks.
France's Total on Wednesday warned it might abandon a multi-billion-dollar gas project in Iran if it could not secure a waiver from US sanctions, casting further doubt on European-led efforts to salvage the nuclear deal.
"The geo-political noise and escalation fears are here to stay," said Norbert Rücker, Head of Macro & Commodity Research, at Swiss bank Julius Baer. "Supply concerns are top of mind after the United States left the Iran nuclear deal."
Global inventories of crude oil and refined products dropped sharply in recent months due to robust demand and production cuts by the world's top producing countries.
Oil stocks were expected to drop further as peak summer driving season nears, offsetting increases in US shale output, said analysts at Bernstein.
"While the sharp rise in US production and rig count has raised questions on the sustainability of inventory draws through 2018, we believe that inventories will continue to draw as we enter the summer driving season in 2018," they said.
Several banks have in recent days raised their oil price forecasts, citing tighter supplies and strong demand.
But high oil prices could hit consumption, the International Energy Agency warned on Wednesday, lowering its global oil demand growth forecast for 2018 to 1.4 million from 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd).
Asia's demand is at record highs and with rising prices its crude could cost US$1 trillion this year, about twice what it paid during the market lull of 2015/2016.
The IEA said global oil demand would average 99.2 million bpd in 2018, although US bank Goldman Sachs said consumption would cross 100 million bpd "this summer".
Leading production increases is the United States, where crude output has soared by 27 per cent in the last two years, to a record 10.72 million bpd, putting the United States within reach of top producer Russia's 11 million bpd.
Goldman Sachs, though, said even with a slowdown in demand and soaring US output, global oil markets would remain tight.
"US shale cannot solve the current oil supply problems," it said, arguing that US oil would not be sufficient to offset production losses from Iran, Venezuela and Angola.
Goldman also said the tight market left "room for Opec to exit (its production cuts) without significant price impact."

Danmaku Unlimited 2 (iPad)
Published by
Developed by
Official Site
Also For
DescriptionDanmaku Unlimited 2 is a vertical shoot 'em up. There are two selectable sets of rules: Burst and Classic. One of the two is chosen in every game mode, arcade, boss rush, free play (a one-level play, with all levels available from the beginning).
The game's ship is the Senko fighter. It is provided with a standard weapon and the capability of entering, when the Trance bar fills, Trance mode, releasing a very powerful attack (functionally corresponding to a "smart bomb") and turning into a score-boosting yellow star every Senko shot reaching a target. The Trance bar is filled by what is termed "grazing bullets" in game: having enemy bullets pass very close to the ship, without being hit. It is the player to choose when to release its power.
The Senko has an other weapon, the beam: in Burst mode it is tied to an energy meter, which rises by collection of blue orbs released by eliminated enemies (and, also, when the Senko is hit), and it turns enemies and bullets it hits into score-multiplying rewards (it is not a requisite the meter be full to use the beam: however, its power and duration are in proportion to the quantity of accumulated energy). The Classic mode beam is a diverse weapon, equal to the standard of beams in shoot 'em ups: it can be used the whole time, its shots are directed to one target only but more powerful than the primary weapon's, the ship movement speed is approximately halved while it is in use, and it benefits from an automatic homing function when half-level secondary, and end level bosses are confronted; it doesn't transform enemies and their projectiles into score bonuses. Defence is granted by the ADS system: it dispels bullets in the nearby space when the Senko is hit. The ADS system consumes its energy when activating, and the Senko is destroyed when it gets hit while shields have no more energy.
All together, score boosting is achieved through: collecting golden stars (while in Trance mode), orbs (released by enemies when annihilated from short distance. A bonus score based on the gathered quantity is awarded at the end of the level), grazing enemy bullets (which grants points in the middle of the action, plus, much more substantively, at the end of levels), getting blue orbs released by put down enemies (only in Burst mode) and, above all, by raising the score multiplier, increasing with orbs and, more, during Trance mode (depending on certain conditions, the multiplier remains unchanged, is halved, or returns to zero when the Senko is hit).
Save for enemies smashed by a single hit, the percentage of inflicted damage to any of them is permanently displayed. At the end of a game and based on the score, we earn experience points (determining no concrete effect but granting new statuses: sergeant, flight lieutenant, etc.) and credits to get more lives and continues as well as increase the power of weapons and shields. There are four difficulty settings.

Quite a few weeks ago now, I had an feverishly erotic moment with Romance. Only too rare it seems, that for a moment, sexual energies are on just the same point, on just the same page that magic happens.
Energy, desire, and life breathed back into my world. I realised how important being sexual was to me, I thrive on it. My creativity, my passion to communicate all sent in a spin which culminated in a very steamy, heated, and urgent short story. Well it was mostly hot primal sex but we will call it a short story.
Will post it once I'm more confident . On a whim, I sent it off and received a very favourable response.
Romance had helped me step outside my comfort zone and this project is the manifestation. 120,000 words from now, I will hopefully have my first published erotic novel. How classic is that!
Romance has now become my muse, my inspiration and my fantasy lover. There is so much I can and will write about Romance; it's complicated, it turns me on, it makes my head spin and my skin tingle. He is not necessarily one person, one feeling or one idea. He is a pulsating play mate that centres around real sexual desire. It is pure,
no holes barred, I just want to fuck you, and in every which-way my imagination will allow.
I toast to Romance.
May the force be with you my friend.

Leicester City remain without long-term injury victims Robert Huth and Matty James for the visit of Tottenham Hotspur.
Germany international Huth has not played this season after undergoing ankle surgery in the summer while James has been absent since September due to an Achilles issue.
James started Leicester's first four Premier League games but has been sidelined since with neither he or Huth having resumed training ahead of Tottenham's trip to the King Power Stadium.
"For the first time no injured players – just Matty James and Huth not available, all the other players are available as we start with games every three days," manager Claude Puel confirmed, according to the Leicester Mercury. "We will see for some rotation. We are playing a match four days after the last.
"I don't know when they can come back on the team. For the moment, they can run without weights in the gym and work hard. No possibility for the moment to play on the pitch and with the squad."
The Foxes have lost just two of their last 11 games in all competitions. They continued that encouraging run with a 1-1 draw at West Ham United, less than 24 hours before Tottenham were held by West Bromwich Albion.
In an effort to hold onto the point Puel replaced Riyad Mahrez with Ben Chilwell with 20 minutes remaining at the London Stadium, a decision that frustrated the Algeria international.
Mahrez has made no secret of his desire to leave Leicester and saw moves to Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea and Roma fall through in the summer as the club's £45m (€50.2m) valuation priced out those outfits.
But the ex-Southampton boss is not concerned by the reaction and expects Mahrez to remain at Leicester ahead of the January transfer window.
"I think he was a little frustrated in the second half without the possibility to get on the ball and to play," said Puel. "It's a good thing when a player is not happy. Now it's important to help him have more consistency once again because he is an important player for us and it's important he can play on his part of the pitch with all his qualities.
"He is the most important player, with Jamie Vardy, and it's important he can show his quality. All the players have to find good consistency in their game – game after game. It's the most important thing. He's a talented player and if he can show his quality game after game then it ill be fantastic for him and also the squad.
"I am here also to help the players and squad to find a good balance in their game and consistency, it is the most important thing. We will see for the future but it is important to give them more opportunities to find a good balance and consistency."
Tottenham are set to be without midfielder Harry Winks due to illness, while Toby Alderweireld and Victor Wanyama remain out with hamstring and knee injuries. Danny Rose could return after missing the West Brom stalemate while Erik Lamela is in line for his first appearance for over a year.

Hola! It has been a few weeks since I have shared. To me, it feels like much longer than that. Yes, things have been that busy. Busy with God things. Today, today I have a moment to write so I'll share…
For several weeks, God has been blowing me away with His goodness (and of course there's been a mix of resistance and struggle thrown in as well). I had the pleasure and honor of attending and assisting the baptisms of my dear friend and her two children a few weeks ago. Talk about your heart swelling! I was filled with joy at the truth God had certainly moved through our lives and provided miraculous healing through many.
She listened. We cried. And in the end I felt as though it was needed for my healing, and her full understanding of why I am completely "gaga" for Jesus!
Fast forward to the following weekend. God met me and several other women in a congregation of nearly 300 for a women's conference. All I can say is ah-mazing! He met me there, corrected me there, encouraged me there, and compelled me to keep pushing on.
to the Dominican Republic in June of this year, and women will be ministered to with its words. God has connected me with a Christian counselor in the area who is excited to see where our Christ-centered connection goes {as a mentor not a counselor for me:) }. Women all across the nation and even into South Africa now have the book in their hands."
After speaking the word "JUST", I was not only convicted by God in my spirit, but also by God through the lead Pastor at the conference, as if to say "please don't you even dare minimize all the other roles God has you fulfilling – it is ALL IMPORTANT." God continued to speak to my heart saying…
Your role as a wife and following My lead in your marriage and your relationship with your husband, is important.
Your role as a mother and listening to My heart regarding your children while continuing to break generational habits, is critical.
Your role in the work place and medical mission field is where I have you posted right now, it's not a mistake. It's needed. You're there because I've called you there.
Your role as a friend, sister, daughter and member of the community – all, matters.
Every part of you, each last ounce, is important. No one part of the body is more important than the other and not all will have title of Pastor or college graduate or famed author or speaker. Many may go "unnoticed" by the world at large. But I, God, notice. I notice when you are praying for your husband, when you're prostrate before Me for your girls. I notice when you're biting your tongue, and when you're seeking forgiveness when you just couldn't. I notice when the projects before you don't appear to serve your preferences, but ultimately know you're serving Me [God]. I notice both the enthusiasm and insecurities you have on this new journey into the medical mission world and those that exist with the Rise Up ministry. I notice when you grow concerned you may be letting one of your friends here at home down, while you are sent to serve abroad. I notice. You are more than "just"…
Fast forward to today. I'm sitting in my room in Antigua, Guatemala, praying the treatment I received this morning (along with the many prayers of the residing team) will heal my body and I will be 100% for returning home tomorrow. Remember all that initially began this blog way back when? Those lovely symptoms are all trying to rear their heads and cause me to be impotent to the power of God within me to serve and extend love to those in the most need here in this city and surrounding country communities.
babies, hug a woman with a mental handicap and have her tell me she doesn't like then tell me she loves me, pray and lay hands on the knee of a young woman whose knee was engulfed with a tumor, and with the help of a sweet translator, counseled several women on how they could eat to lose the twenty pounds necessary to receive surgery later this year (they are ready to find themselves some arrowroot to make some paleo tortillas!). God has been moving through all of us, including me.
And the enemy has taken notice. Not only did I come down with altitude sickness, but also dehydration and a stomach bug. I share this to let you know with the presence of God the enemy is not far away. Sometimes just in the thoughts of our mind telling us we're not enough. Sometimes in the attack of our body. Sometimes from the words of loved ones and friends, that repeatedly perplex and confuse us. But God. God brings clarity. God brings healing. God brings health. God brings His presence and changes everything. Yesterday I was down and pulled an Elijah, I just kind of hung out "under the tree" (sleeping and watching videos while drinking water, since being in los hobras wasn't an option). This morning, I was compelled to repent of assuming that posture, and allow Him to turn this time healing into a blessing as well. Pray for the surgeons. Pray for the patients. Pray for a sterile environment. Pray for loved ones. Write.
our back, but it doesn't matter! God is within AND without, covering us with His armor – IF we allow Him to cover us! God, Who is Love, casts out all fear and in that place where anxiety, panic or fear is attempting to prevail, worship! Reading the Psalms {as I have been for the past couple of months} can feel heavy. But when one reads of how David continued to worship and praise Him when under the attack and assault of the enemy, it compels us to do the same!
So keep going. Keep rising. Keep reading, praying and worshiping, God is with you!

Can You Get Your GED at Home?
The GED (General Educational Development) test must be taken at an official testing center. However, there are many resources available to help you prepare for the test at home.
Preparation for the GED at Home
The GED Test
The GED is divided into five sections that test your knowledge of language arts (reading and writing), science, social studies and mathematics. A GED certificate is considered equivalent to a high school diploma by most employers and many colleges. Passing the exam requires a total score of 2250, with a minimum score of 410 on each content area test.
Instructional Resources
If you want to study at home, the available resources include manuals, the Internet and even television programs to help you prepare for the test. GED Testing Service, the official program of the American Council of Education, has sample questions and answers on its website. It also lists other recommended instructional resources for at-home study. Additionally, GED preparation contacts can be found on the website.
If you decide to search for instructional resources on the Internet, it's a good idea to look for sites that are recommended by educational institutions or other qualified agencies. If you haven't been in school for a while, you may need extra help with the essay or further explanation of math problems. As a result, inquire about what feedback is offered and whether any individualized tutoring is available.
GED Connection
The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and LiteracyLink offer a series of televised instructional programs called GED Connection to help you study for the test. The programs include practice tests, interactive lessons, quizzes and activities, which are completed online. Although the videos and pretest are free, you will have to purchase the accompanying workbooks. Check your television schedule or visit the PBS LiteracyLink website to find out local broadcasting times.
