How to fight the fat after turning 40
March 21, 2012 Curious 0
Our metabolism slows as we get older – and for a lot of women 40 is the tipping point. So how can you prevent weight gain?
We know that women's bodies are complex biological systems but why is it that turning 40 seems to mean developing a permanent ring of fat on your waistline? Dr Pamela Peeke, author of Fight Fat Over 40, reckons she has the answer.
It's all down to our metabolic rate – and stress. In simple terms, as soon as we turn 40, our ability to burn calories drops, our stress levels soar and we lose muscle tone.
We also eat too much when what we should be doing is exercising more and controlling portion sizes.
"Ideally, it's best to eat every three hours," says Dr Peeke, who spent three years investigating the link between stress and fat. "Fuel up in the morning by eating breakfast. Have a satisfying lunch, then taper down your eating as evening approaches."
The key, she says, is to consume about 60% of your day's calories by 6pm. "And don't expect to see a change overnight," warns Dr Peeke. "You must stay realistic and be patient."
Here are Dr Peeke's tips for fighting the flab after 40…
Change your lifestyle
After the age of 40, the rules of self-care change and you cannot eat the way you did when you were 20. That's because a 40-year-old woman has a very different body than she had 10 years earlier.
A woman's metabolism declines at the rate of at least 5% per decade of life, starting at the age of 20 due to the natural loss of muscle mass that comes with age. The less muscle mass you have, the fewer calories your body can burn.
For example, at 20 you may have required 2,000 calories per day to live. By the time you are 45, you could require about 300 calories less per day.
If you have continued to consume the same number of calories as you did when you were 20 until the age of 45, you can expect to be at least 30lbs to 50lbs heavier.
Adapt to the stresses of life
If you are a woman over 40, your life is especially frenzied juggling kids, other halves, ageing parents and your work life. Not to mention the fact hormones are starting to flood your body which can lead to mood swings and intense cravings for food.
Much of the fat gained during this time will accumulate around the waist. I call it Stress Fat since it is the main source of fat that gives you energy to fight or take flight in stressful situations.
Too much stress is dangerous since it places a woman at risk of heart disease, high-blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, diabetes and cancer.
Don't however be tempted to resort to extreme calorie restriction to make up for this loss of calorie-burning metabolism. Calorie restriction depresses the metabolism further. A healthy body starts with a healthy mind. It's not about squeezing into a size six or trying to lose 20lbs before your daughter's wedding.
I always tell my patients that 'fit' looks and feels better than 'thin'.
Tackle the Cortizone
Overeating in the late afternoon and evening is one of the biggest culprits behind stress-induced weight gain in women over 40.
I refer to the hours between 3pm and midnight as the 'CortiZone' when levels of the stress hormone cortisol plummet and fatigue sets in.
Desperately seeking energy, most people gulp coffee and eat food high in sugar in the hope of boosting energy levels. Avoid this 'stress-eating' by planning. Stick to foods that don't overly stress the body like wholegrain bread, skimmed milk, vegetables and fruit. These foods are your ticket to maintaining greater resilience in the face of daily events which would normally send you to the coffee maker.
Be realistic. If you know you have a tough day ahead, arm yourself with a daily eating plan and take a walk whenever you can.
Eat smaller portions
Declining metabolisms mean women over 40 should eat less. You can try using a smaller sized bowl for your breakfast cereal or a smaller plate than normal. This will make it difficult to over-eat.
Avoid foods with processed, refined sugars like sweets and pastries as well as pasta, rice and bread. Strive for five servings of fruit and vegetables a day. Remember that even when you eat healthy foods, too much of a good thing can put the weight on. Find out which foods are bingeables.
These are foods of which you cannot just have one, and you usually end up eating the whole thing. Avoid these as they are nothing but trouble.
Exercise more
All women over 40 should do 45 minutes exercise five or six days a week. This period may however be broken up into 10 minute slots throughout the day and be just as beneficial. Walking is a great exercise. It's easy, can be done anywhere, burns calories and reduces stress. If you like to cycle, take step classes or jog.
However, if the idea of a tough workout makes you cringe, don't worry. Go for a stroll and save the pavement pounding for tomorrow.
Never give up
Being fat is not simply about food choices, it's about how you cope when life seems tough. You can start a healthy new routine but then some unexpected event occurs and everything goes wrong.
Many women put their self-care on hold and often the result is weight gain. It's important to understand that this doesn't mean you've failed.
It's about acknowledging this and getting your diet back on track.

An idea about the 2019 Nissan GT-R sedan sounds quite promising. Getting a four door very car is not anything new, but it could be something totally new for the famous Japanese brand name. Because the new GT-R has been validated and is probably coming within the approaching year, why not likewise use a sedan version which might have the very same supercar residential or commercial properties as the base version. The concept does sound quite thriving and it has already drawn in a lot attention from individuals which they are going to follow and claim pretty quickly.
In 2014 there was an idea which Infiniti debuted called Q50 Eau Rogue. This was basically supposed to be an Infiniti Q50 car with a GT-R engine under the hood. Instantly the project sounded as something we would get thinking about however it never came to fruition as it was stopped and they decided versus it. After they lastly gave it some thought it appears that this job sounds excellent when you in fact believe more about it.
4 door very cars and sedan versions already exist and there is a variety of vehicles which the most effective and essential companies have already executed. Nissan needs to make rush and present their deal as soon as possible and it will make their value worth more on the marketplace.
The latest news shows that Nissan has actually given a go ahead to the sedan variation of their GT-R and the only thing various is that it will probably come out under the Infiniti guise, makings perfect sense if you ask me. We have actually put together an evaluation about exactly what might potentially be offered here. Because there still have to make a great deal of choices about it we are going to play a guessing game and see what a 2019 Nissan GT-R could look like?
2019 Nissan GT-R Sedan Exterior
Designing the 2019 Nissan GT-R sedan might not be as simple as you might believe. All of you who thought that it would only take merely extending the base GT-R model a bit and adding to it a new set of doors, you could have not been more wrong. Although basically this could be the most convenient way to do it, it would at the same time be the worst way to approach this. They have actually also specified that they are not going to use the elements presented in the past Eau Rogue concept nor are they integrating elements from the Q50.
In truth we are getting a totally new car with special aspects. Building a vehicle from the ground up is a benefit and doing so would provide it an edge style wise. It will likewise make a great deal of the audiences pleased as we are not getting a swindle of any of the other cars currently offered in the lineup. So anticipate a car which boasts totally cool and new components that may take on all of your Lamborghinis and Mercedes cars of the world.
2019 Nissan GT-R Sedan Interior
In order to make the 2019 Nissan GT-R sedan a competitive one, it needs to have an excellent interior design. With such a piece de resistance, the interior of the GT-R model is generally neglected. There are not a lot of discussions related on how comfy the car is, however they simply talk about how quick it can go. Once the model ends up being a sedan the attention will need to be switched on more on the interior and the comfort of the within. The competition is already doing an excellent task so in order to be competitive they have to consider how to improve and how to make the within the 2019 Nissan GT-R sedan car.
First off, it is already particular that the car will have an Infiniti badge, which is currently a step towards the best position that they are making. Second of all, they will have to make a special style of the inside. The exact same method as the exterior will take its own elements the interior of the car should be created on its own. The worst thing that they might do is to take the present cabin of the GT-R and just upgrade it a bit in order to provide it a new look. This is a sedan that we are speaking about so comfort is essential.
2019 Nissan GT-R Sedan Drivetrain and Specs
The most enjoyable part of the 2019 Nissan GT-R sedan includes the part which is under the hood. There have actually been talks that Nissan has actually been sending out some of their engineers so they might collaborate with other designers and produce the engine. One such thing is the report about them getting in touch with the Williams F1 racing team. This is one piece of proof which may inform us which instructions they may need to take.
But it appears that they will utilize a hybrid powertrain and the choice currently stays on the hybrid, 3.0 liter V-6 engine which was utilized in the GT-R LM Nismo racer. Moving this engine to the sedan would be a fun thing to do however do not anticipate the power of 1,250 hp to be moved too. We are taking a look at a more reduced version of the engine but one which could still be able to make 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph.
2019 Nissan GT-R Sedan Prices
It is safe to presume that the 2019 Nissan GT-R sedan is going to be priced more than the GT-R version. It owes this to the provided conveniences and all the bells and whistles that a sedan comes with. However exactly what is likewise crucial here is that they have to see the rates so the car is competitive in the market. Other vehicles may use simply the exact same however for a lower rate. So ramping up the cost is not a smart idea if the output is inadequate to justify it. What they could do is to make a high output which would make the car an appropriate model for the marketplace regardless of the competitors. The rate for the coupe version is presently $103,000, so if they manage to keep it someplace around $100,000 it might work for the buyers.
2019 Nissan GT-R Sedan Competition
As we pointed out, the competition of the 2019 Nissan GT-R sedan is high and lots of car makers currently have their own special designs and deals. The best competition is coming from models like BMW M5 and the Porsche Panamera Turbo.

St. Thomas has more nightlife than any other island in the U.S. or British Virgin Islands, but it's not as extensive as you might think. Charlotte Amalie is no longer the swinging town it used to be. Many of the streets are dangerous after dark, so visitors have stopped visiting the area for nightlife, with the exception of a few places, such as the Greenhouse. Much of the action has shifted to Frenchtown, which has some great restaurants and bars. However, just as in Charlotte Amalie, some of these little hot spots are along dark, badly lit roads. The primary problem here is mugging, although some of the criminal activity appears to be drug-related. Sexual assault is known to occur, but happens rather infrequently.
The big hotels, such as Frenchman's Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort, Bolongo Bay, or the Ritz, have the most lively after-dark scenes. After a day of sightseeing and shopping in the hot West Indies sun, sometimes your best bet is just to stay at your hotel in the evening, perhaps listening to a local fungi band playing traditional music on homemade instruments.
Unwanted Attention -- Sexual harassment can be a problem in certain bars in Charlotte Amalie. Any of the major resort hotels are generally safer, and any place we've recommended can be viewed as hospitable (though, of course, creeps can be found in any bar).
Gay & Lesbian Nightlife -- St. Thomas might be the most cosmopolitan of the Virgin Islands, but it is no longer the "gay paradise" it was in the 1960s and 1970s. The major gay scene in the U.S. Virgins is now on St. Croix. That doesn't mean that gay men and lesbians aren't drawn to St. Thomas. They are, but many attend predominantly straight establishments, such as the Greenhouse.

Best festivals Memorial Day weekend in Chicago
Fri May 24 2013
Photograph: RJV studios
International Mr. Leather Weekend Chicago's tribute to the leather lifestyle has grown into a full-blown global event attracting leathermen and fetish enthusiasts from around the world to both compete in the International Mr. Leather contest and also to partake in a weekend of meet-and-greets, workshops, parties and so much more (just hanging around the hotel can make for a wild afternoon). The price of a weekend package is stiff (pun intended), but tickets to the Leather Market and most of the parties can be purchased individually. Most events take place at Chicago Marriott, 540 N Michigan Ave. May 24–27, 11am. Weekend packages $175–$205.
Electric Daisy Carnival The biggest brand in EDM festivals plants its stake in Chicago (well, Joliet) for the first time. Does a metropolis with the Spring Awakening and Wavefront festivals truly need another massive electronic tent? Well, each has its own shade of untz. EDC leans hard on trance, the tried and true sounds of Europe, as opposed to the more dubstep and underground flavors of the other two, respectively. Case in point: The big guns here are millionaire fist-pumper Tiësto, French simple-pleasures man David Guetta and precocious luxury-goods-pimper Avicii. The rest of the bill is short on such major names, but there are gems, such as DJ Koze, a far more nuanced and weird technician whose latest, Amygdala, arrived as an immediate techno classic. Whether he's worth sleeping at a racetrack for, well, that's up to you. Chicagoland Speedway. May 24–26, 5pm. 3-day pass $175, 3-day pass with camping $295, 3-day VIP $299, 3-day VIP with camping $419.

10 Sheets
Your hero for your quest to get rid of nasty nose blackheads, this 3-step kit features 3 strips. The first primes your pores for max extraction, and the second does just that- extract. The third helps minimize your freshly cleaned pores.
This 3-step kit features 3 strips to tackle your blackhead issues like a pro. As if that weren't enough, the strips also contain ingredients like Witch Hazel Water, Peppermint Leaf Extract, and Aloe Leaf juice to pamper pores each step of the way.
Step 1: Prep! This strip primes pores by opening them up to make for an easier cleaning and unclogging in the following steps.
Step 2: Remove! This strip lifts blackheads and other impurities clogging up pores. The proof is in the strip!
Step 3: Tighten up! This third strip gives your pores some TLC and helps close them up to prevent future blockage.
It's almost too good to be true, but you'll be left with a cleaner, smoother nose.
Highlighted Ingredients
Contains lemon balm leaf, peppermint leaf, green tea, rosemary leaf, sugar maple, aloe vera leaf extract.
Main Effects
- Removes Blackheads
- Removes Whiteheads
- Removes Dead Skin Cells
- Tightens Pores
How To Use
Step 1 – After your cleansing routine, apply the 1st nose strip onto your dry nose to help open up pores. After 15-20 minutes, remove the strip. You can use a clean cotton pad to remove any excess product. As you wipe, you may see some impurities or blackheads already making their escape!
Step 2 – Then wet the nose with water and apply the 2nd strip on nose, pink side down. After 10-15 minutes, the strip will harden. Slowly remove the strip, starting from the outer edges, working towards the center. Don't be alarmed by the prickly blackheads stuck to the pink side; they're proof of mission accomplished!
Step 3 – Place the 3rd strip on nose to replenish skin and help minimize pores. Remove after 10-15 minutes, then gently tap excess product onto skin for better absorption.

Regular readers know that our high school hasn't fielded a successful football team in several years. Football being the state religion of Texas only makes it that much tougher for fans to show up and support our plucky squad.
Fortunately, we're blessed with a great marching band and dance team, the Angels. Many of us attend football games as much for the halftime show as the contest on the field. We know that the band and Angels are a winning combination that never lets us down. Plus they're a great group of kids.
I had hoped that one of my sons would be a part of the high school marching band, particularly my older boy who didn't have many outside interests (we figured that his younger brother would play sports in high school). But both of them were one and done with band after sixth grade with the rented clarinet and cornet, respectively, crying for mercy. At least I did have my "third son," Chase, to cheer for as he marched all four years.
Today our band and Angels are in Indianapolis to compete in the Bands of America Grand National Championship. Their road to a hoped-for title begins tomorrow morning.
They have hundreds of dedicated fans—including many like me who aren't related to them at all—who are wishing them well on their journey. We'll be sending them good vibes when they play in the prelims at 10:30 a.m.
Whether or not they return home with another trophy, we know that they're already winners. They've brought pride to our school and a touch of class to every halftime performance.
Still, who are we to turn down some well-earned hardware? Good luck to our marching band and Angels! Be remembered!!

All About Me
Hi. My name is Katelyn, and I love animals. I am 12 years old and a 6th grader at Oak Hill Elementary. My dad is a sheriff and my mom is a physical therapist. I have a 17 year old brother named Brandon, and a dog, cat, and hamster too. I love Basketball and I have recently played on my school's basketball team. I have played a little tennis and volleyball too. I love to read, and this may sound crazy, but I love like every single major book series. Hunger Games, Divergent, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and even Twilight. I also love music, and I am in Blue Grass's Children's Choir and I was in the school play in 5th grade. I want to be either a veterinarian or a police officer when I grow up, and if I can't decide I'll be an animal cop.
Why Use Technology in Classrooms
Kids today sometimes find teachers boring, we like technology because we are willing to embrace it, not fear it. Teachers that use technology find it easier than regular teaching and they connect with students more. I love a game called Minecraft. Why, you may ask? Because it's interactive. Almost everything about it I can change or work with. That's what teachers need to do, because kids like interaction.
Now, do I feel like I'm being interacted with if a teacher stands with a white board at the front of the classroom while I sit in the back? No, not really. I do feel like I'm being interacted with when my teacher, Mr. Spradley, introduced a new tech tool to our class where we could write our own blogs,
Kid Blog
. That's because he took an effort to connect with us, while most adults now don't use technology, and if they do, that's pretty cool to us. So, when teachers use technology in classrooms, students feel more connected and involved in class, and that is a step in the right direction.

Now there has been series of huge military types showing up next to me or very near me at the University Library.

Soem time ago (December 2008 and February 2009) I wrote about trying to decide which of my mother's books to keep after she had died. It wasn't until this summer that I finally took the last ones to the charity shop. I have kept a fair number, integrating them into my own collection, but accepted at last that I wasn't going to read – or re-read Sara Woods, Anthony Gilbert, and a few others, much as I had enjoyed them in the past. And then earlier this year my lovely mother-in-law died and so there was another house to clear. My husband went down to Devon to take some last things a week or two ago and I wasn't able to go with him, so asked him to bring home some things to remind me of her. We shared a love of crime fiction,but that wasn't really what I wanted (apart from a little World's Classic edition of Sherlock Holmes short stories). No, what I wanted was DELIA SMITH'S COMPLETE COOKERY COURSE. Nothing special about it, just a paperback copy of dating back to 1992, with slightly old-fashioned recipes that use more butter and cream that we would now. But it reminds me of her and the times I used it myself when I was cooking for her and the family. Avis herself used to make a mean shepherd's pie and I've also got the dish she used to cook in it. These things have a poignant homeliness about them that make them as precious as any heirloom. A book of her's that I used to covet was Peg Bracken's I HATE TO HOUSEKEEP and she passed that on to me a few years ago. I've written elsewhere about Peg Bracken's I HATE TO COOK BOOK and this is hugely enjoyable too, with chapter titles like 'Don't Just Do Something, Sit There' and 'The Hostest with the Leastest.' As well as being a pioneering woman GP Avis did cook and run a household – very successfully – but she was firmly of the view that those activities should be kept in their place and I agree with her.
Snowed In!
For the first time ever in the fourteen years we are completely snowed in. Yesterday we woke to 16 inches of snow and it has gone on falling ever since off and on. In the past there has always the train to fall back on (that was how we got to our son's wedding four years ago, when snow and a fallen tree blocked the way out of the village). But yesterday the trains stopped running. The school's closed today for the third day running, but even if wasn't, we couldn't get there. There isn't a village shop (it closed in the summer). Walking to the next, larger village is a last resort as the snow is over our wellies and anyway deliveries haven't been getting through there either.
The milkman and postman are not getting through and the organic fruit and veg delivery people have rung to say they can't make it tomorrow. However we are in no danger for running out of food for a while. True, we have no milk now, or eggs or cheese (except for Parmesan) and not much fruit and veg. However we have loads and loads of rice, pasta, olive oil, coffee and tea, because I buy them in bulk. Quite a lot of Parmesan, lentils, tins of red kidney beans and other pulses and enough flour for several loaves. Also a tin of sardines and one of corned beef. A joint of pork in the freezer. No cake, biscuits or chocolate. Yesterday we got a craving for something sweet so we broken into the Xmas cake that we made a fortnight ago. Might have been better if left to mature, but it's very good all the same and there's always too much at Xmas anyway. We've got plenty of wine and there is wood in the woodshed.
Thanks to my book-buying habit there is no shortage of things to read either. To be honest I probably have enough books to last for the rest of my life, what with ones I haven't read and ones I'd be happy to re-read. It's comfort reading at the moment. I am well into THE NINE TAILORS and am thoroughly enjoying it. And I've found a recipe in Peg Bracken's THE I HATE TO COOK BOOK for a chocolate cake that uses cocoa and cooking oil instead of butter or margarine. So I might get my chocolate fix after all.

Tiscali and Video Networks International agreed to integrate their UK market operations. Under the deal, Video Networks International Ltd (VNIL) would contribute 100% of their UK operations - Video Networks Ltd (VNL) - into Tiscali UK Ltd, fully owned subsidiary of Tiscali SpA, in exchange for an interest in Tiscali UK. As a result, Tiscali SpA would control 88.5% of Tiscali UK, while VNIL would own 11.5%.
Following this integration, Tiscali UK will immediately have more than 1.3 million DSL customers, of which 350,000 customers are taking voice and broadband, over 45,000 will be IPTV subscribers, and an unbundled local loop ("ULL") network covering over 300 BT exchanges with in excess of 220,000 ULL customers.
Video Networks currently provides TV and video services under its Homechoice brand, to its broadband subscriber base using its state of the art IPTV platform. Homechoice has 45,000 customers, mostly taking triple play (broadband, telephone and TV) which pay on average £500 a year. VNL has an annualized turnover of approximately £18 million.
Tiscali UK will market these IPTV services. Its strategy will also be to enhance its current wholesale DSL product by adding IPTV to the proposition and syndicating this on a 'white label' basis.

Yeah Yeah Yeah
In pairs, one person starts telling a story. While they're telling the story the other person enthusiastically nods with their whole body and says "yeah yeah yeah". They take over telling the story, adding to it, and they keep swapping.
- Can also be played starting with "do you remember that time", where they recount a memory they have together.

I cannot imagine life without the Internet today. Back in the mid 90s when I did not have an Internet connected computer, I used my Temple University alumni status to use an Internet computer in one of the many computer labs on the campus. Back then, there was one computer lab, that anyone off the street could use to get on the Internet.
I watched a weeknight MSNBC technology program, The Site (before MSNBC became a leftist machine) at 10 P. M. hosted by Soledad O'Brien. I use to jot down pointers on improving one's Internet experience and then after work, I would head over to a Temple U. computer lab and carry them out. In those days, 9 P. M. was the earliest I came home. From The Site, I learned about a free email account. The next evening, I established my first email account, Hotmail, which I still use today. I could not get over what a person could do through email communication!
I later took a few courses on the Internet and early website (html) design. Because of the Internet, research for projects is easier to obtain. Business moves at a faster pace. It is so much easier to communicate with people who are far away. There are just so many Internet uses that have made life nicer that cannot be listed here! I started reading blogs and columns, that I would never read in hard copy. Those readings were essential in my going conservative and doing my own blogging.
Currently, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wants to increase the power of government over the Internet for regulation. Do we really need that? If you don't think it is a big deal, think about it possibly leading to an increased monthly bill for Internet use. This "net neutrality" is not really neutral. Are we headed down the road where the destination is control of the Internet a la China, Venezuela, and Muslim countries? Read more about what this is really about here. Please don't screw up our Internet access.
NOTE: If you are wondering, Temple University now restricts its computer labs to enrolled students. The cracked down came after 9/11. By that time, I was Internet connected at home.

Expanded Paid Sick Leave Mandate Moving Forward in L.A.
The city of Los Angeles is a step closer to requiring all employers to provide six days of paid sick leave to their workers, three days more than mandated under state law.
The City Council's economic development committee voted unanimously Tuesday afternoon to forward the recommendation for three additional days of paid sick leave to the full City Council for consideration later this month.
Included in the recommendation was an allowance for employers to provide additional payments to workers in lieu of paid sick day accruals, a practice common in the entertainment sector.
If the Council approves the recommendation, Los Angeles would join Santa Monica, Oakland, San Francisco, and a handful of other California cities that require employers to provide paid coverage for additional sick days.
Supporters of the expanded mandate include labor unions and various health care and children's advocacy groups. Those groups said the state's requirement for employers to provide three days of paid sick leave does not go far enough. They had asked the city to consider adding additional days.
"We are gratified that the Economic Development Committee recommended a more inclusive, strong policy that will improve the health of L.A.'s working families and the public," said Rusty Hicks, Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor.
But opponents, including the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce and the California Restaurant Association, said the mandate will hurt small businesses, forcing them to essentially pay two workers when forced to call in a substitute for another worker out on sick leave. To offset this added cost, business owners may have to resort to layoffs.
"Like any mandated benefit, paid sick leave effectively increases the overall compensation package of employees," said Matthew Sutton, vice president of government affairs and public policy for the California Restaurant Association. "When one form of compensation becomes more expensive, employers are forced to offset this newly added cost, and in this case eliminating jobs is a likely side effect."
In a separate action, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday voted 4-1 to set up a wage enforcement bureau to handle claims of violations of the minimum wage increase to $15 an hour, which the board approved last year. The county's Department of Consumer and Business Affairs will oversee the bureau.

Today is the 183rd birthday of the US Naval Observatory. Founded in 1830, it's original mission was the repair of navigational instruments, which included chronographs and early time standards. Today, the observatory's principle mission remains the same: providing precise time, earth orientation, and astrometry services for the nation.
At the USNO, we like any excuse to celebrate and eat cake in our famed library (shown above in the blog header, in case you ever wondered what that was). So today we'll be having birthday cake in honor of this illustrious anniversary.
You can read more about the observatory and it's founding here and here.

Principal investigators (PIs) submitting research protocols to the Human Subjects Institutional Review Board that expose human subjects to ionizing radiation must:
- Include an explanation of the risks of radiation exposure
- Inform study participants of the degree of risk involved
These are requirements of UC San Diego's Human Research Protections Program (HRPP) and Human Exposure Review Committee (HERC).
Prepare and review
Before calculating radiation risk, review the following information:
- All radiation exposure is dealt with cumulatively.
- When calculating exposure, no distinction is made between routine studies and studies done specifically for the research protocol.
- Research protocols requiring exposure to radiation from imaging studies considered standard of care, including those that would be done even if the participant were not taking part in a research protocol, must be accounted for, and exposure estimates and risks must be explained.
Calculate your project's radiation risk
Use the UCSD Radiation Risk Statement Calculator to generate a risk statement and risk category for your project. By appropriately cutting and pasting the risk statement into the correct sections of your research plan, radiation exposure risk requirements can be met.

A sound is something which needs a medium to travel. The air molecules provide a medium, and we can hear any sound. But there are a few questions about sound in space. Is there sound in space and if it does, can we hear it? If not, then how do astronauts interact? Let's find out and solve these queries as much as possible about the aspect of sound in space.
There is no air in space, and what we call "sound" is vibrations in the air. But there are indeed light waves and radio waves, but these are not sound, but light. Astronauts do talk to each other since there is plenty of air in spacecraft, so they speak normally. But when they are space walking, they speak by means of radios in their helmets. The radio waves have no problem in space but thats are not sound. Those are radios which are converted into sound by the astronaut's headset.
Sound can't be carried in empty vacuum of space since there are no molecules for the audio vibrations to move through, which is true but to an extent. Space isn't entirely void. The interstellar gas and the dust left by the old stars are sometimes used to create new ones, which does have the potential to carry sound waves, but we are just not able to listen to them. The particles are so much spread out, and the resulting sound waves are of a very low frequency that they are beyond the limit of human hearing.
When a sound wave passes, it causes oscillations in the air pressure and the time difference between these oscillations represent the frequency of the sound which is measured in Hertz, and the distance between the oscillating peaks is called wavelength.
If the distance between the air particles is greater than this wavelength, the sound cannot bridge the gap and stops the ripple. Therefore, sound needs to have a wide wavelength which can come across as a low pitch to our ears to make it from one particle to the next in certain parts of space. Once sound goes below 20 Hz, it becomes infra sound that we cannot hear.
Now when someone says there is no sound in space, since there is no air, interrupt them and say that it's not so normal. There is actually sound in space, but we just can't hear it.

Tony Talks: Embarking on Phase Three of the Sector Development Project!
Hopefully you have all recovered from the Federal Election advertising deluge and can now return to your day jobs uninterrupted.
Whatever you think of the outcome, NDS is pleased to note that, for the first time, the NDIS now has its own Minister and Shadow Minister.
We support this decision to increase accountability for the delivery of the Scheme and as an appropriate recognition of the importance of this once-in-a-generation social reform.
We welcome Stuart Robert as the new Minister and look forward to working with him, the NDIS, DSS and all stakeholders to get the NDIS operating as efficiently as possible.
After three huge years of supporting disability service providers through NDIS transition, the Sector Development Project (SDP) is starting to wind back. Our final project evaluation was completed in May, and I am proud to share some of the main findings with you here.
The 'NDIS 101' in-house workshops delivered by our Sector Support Consultants to frontline staff have been received very positively over the past year, with 90 per cent of attendees reporting that the workshop increased their knowledge about the NDIS.
Feedback from providers attending SDP workshops and forums has been consistently positive throughout the project. However, in the last six months, we have seen satisfaction with our events jump even higher, as we have continued to respond to provider feedback and make improvements to our events.
- 81% of attendees reported the material covered in the event or workshop would have a positive effect on their organisation's transition, if well-applied. This is an increase from 73% at the last evaluation in November 2018.
Our Helpdesk was also evaluated for the first time since it expanded nationally and the platform was upgraded. Our survey of Helpdesk users found that the new Helpdesk is highly valuable:
- 80% were satisfied or very satisfied with the quality of information and answers provided by NDS.
- 20% were neutral in their response, and nobody reported that they were dissatisfied with the information and answers NDS provided on the Helpdesk.
I extend my sincere thanks to the whole NDS team in Victoria for the commitment they have shown over the last three years and I also wish to thank all of the providers who engaged with us so enthusiastically over the same period.
I am pleased to advise that, thanks to further funding provided by DHHS, NDIS News will continue in Phase Three so providers can continue to keep abreast of sector updates and forthcoming workshops and learning and development opportunities.
We are well advanced now in planning for the key activities for Phase Three, which are as follows:
- Regional and metropolitan 'NDIS in Practice' workshops
- Subsidised learning and development offerings
- Policy work, including NDIS and mainstream interface, workforce forums and Communities of Practice focusing on support coordination and complexity
As always, we look forward to continued positive engagement with providers. Feedback is always welcome and carefully considered.
Finally, a mention of the recent decision by the Victorian Government to incorporate disability services into the Portable Long Service Scheme by way of regulation...
NDS has made a submission opposing the proposal and is currently seeking member feedback on the financial impact of the proposal and lobbying MPs with a view to limiting the financial impact on providers. For support regarding this, and to access the NDS submission, read our news update.
We look forward to bringing you the sector news and offerings in Phase Three.
Tony Pooley
NDS Acting State Manager, Victoria

National trade body's live demo for invasive weeds
A national trade body has brought together a range of non-native invasive weeds under one roof to help property professionals improve their identification skills.
Japanese knotweed, American skunk cabbage and Three-cornered garlic are just some of the plants being cultivated in the Property Care Association's specially-commissioned 'non-native' greenhouse.
The new facility is home to 20 plant species and varieties, being put on show as part of the PCA's training and development programme.
Dr Peter Fitzsimons, Invasive Weed Control Group Technical Manager of the PCA, said:
"The greenhouse will play a useful role in helping those on our training programmes to accurately identify invasive, non-native weeds in a controlled environment.
"By curating these plants in one location we can accelerate learning regarding weed species."
To create the greenhouse, PCA has introduced a number of controls to contain the spread of the plants.
Dr Fitzsimons added:
"We've built the greenhouse over an impervious root barrier membrane to contain the highly penetrating roots of some of the specimens, particularly the bamboos and Japanese knotweed.
"We also need to carefully collect any plant waste and ensure this is disposed using a licenced waste carrier."
The greenhouse will be operational for the PCA's inaugural 'Invasive Plant Identification Course.'
Offering a comprehensive overview of the key issues surrounding certain plants listed on Schedule 9 of Section 14 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, the first course takes place on Thursday, August 1, at the PCA's training centre, in Huntingdon.
The cost is £295 plus VAT for PCA members, and £345 plus VAT for those not in membership of the association.
More information and booking details can be found at www.property-care.org/training-qualifications/training-courses/invasive-plant-identification/
Participants also receive a free copy of both 'Practical Management of Invasive Non-Native Weed in Britain and Ireland' and the 'Field Guide to Invasive Plants and Animals In Britain.'
Kindly shared by Property Care Association (PCA)

Customer Reviews
Day Tripp
Love this shirt and love the design!
Items and service are really good. When I did not receive my items because of wrong address , they were very helpful to deliver my items again.
Day Tripp
I was very disappointed. It looks like a shirt I already have, the only difference is the one i already purchased appears as if it had gone through the wash once. I was so excited about the new bright color and it looks like you old color. Very misleading. I folded it back up and put back in package wanting to return it with a picture of the two shirts side by side. You need to change your bright color on the order. Thank you. mah

Xi Jinping called Wednesday for boosting the fundamental role of consumption in promoting economic growth.[Special Coverage]
Xi made the remarks in a report to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) at the Great Hall of the People in central Beijing.
"We will improve systems and mechanisms for stimulating consumer spending, and leverage the fundamental role of consumption in promoting economic growth," he said.
Reform of the investment and financing systems will also be deepened to enable investment to play a crucial role in improving the supply structure, he added.
Investment and foreign trade used to be the main drivers of China's economic growth. As China has entered a new normal in economic development, the country's rebalancing efforts have boosted the role of consumption in growth.
From 2013 to 2016, final consumption contributed 55 percent to the country's economic growth annually on average. In the first half of 2017, the contribution of consumption to growth surged to 63.4 percent, official data showed.
