Let's start with the obvious: I'm a blogger and a writer and a lover of food and dogs and Julia Child, and sometimes I can be deplorably unpleasant. This is what is called a character flaw, but I think that — when combined with my devotion to my friends and my knack for color-coordination, let's say — it adds depth to, well, my character. As readers, we don't need to like the characters we encounter; what we do need is for those characters to have some sort of humanizing trait that make us care about them. For example, a huge part of what makes Neil Gaiman's iconic Sandman comic book series so incredibly readable is the fact that the major players are terribly flawed. Their losses wouldn't cut as deeply if we the readers weren't invested in them; the same could be said about their gains.
In other words, likable characters are boring.
That said, I hate the Julie Powell portrayed in Cleaving — A Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession, a memoir written by the blogger herself. I don't say I hate this portrayal because I wanted the perkier, Amy Adams version; I'm putting it like this, in a vaguely diplomatic way, because I kind of feel as though I need to give Ms. Powell the benefit of the doubt. I'm fully aware that the way we describe ourselves via our own writing is ineffably skewed… but maybe that's my problem. Maybe I read this memoir while banking too much on the dumb hope that Ms. Powell would eventually reveal herself to be — well, more fully realized. I don't care that she comes across as utterly unlikable, but she needs to throw me a bone or two in regards to the rest of her character. And yes, that was an intended pun.
I'm getting completely ahead of myself.
Cleaving picks up a few years after Ms. Powell finished writing Julie and Julia — 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen (why the chronic need to subtitle everything?), as she's tangled up in an affair with an old boyfriend that she refers to coyly as D. Her husband learns of this and has a revenge affair of his own, but ultimately he doesn't want to leave Ms. Powell, who herself feels no inclination to either end her affair or her marriage. Instead, for reasons which are never adequately explained, she heads out of Queens to become an apprentice butcher in Kingston, New York. When her apprenticeship comes to its end, Ms. Powell, still floundering, hits the road again, this time stopping in Argentina, the Ukraine, Japan and Tanzania; supposedly she's traveling in order to learn more about meat, and how different cultures kill, cook and eat it, but really, she's running from her husband, a fact Ms. Powell acknowledges.
Ms. Powell acknowledges a lot more than just this, though. She depicts in great detail her escapades with D: bondage, biting and banging, oh my. It doesn't bother me that Ms. Powell loves being tied up, it just bores me; each so-called sexy scenelet seems to have been written strictly to provoke and show off. It's as though Ms. Powell is gleefully nudging the reader in the ribs and saying, "Did you get to the part where he throws me down so hard he bruises me? What did you think about the part where we strip each other? What about when we dry humped while my husband slept in the adjacent room? Isn't my sex life so hot?"
This self-satisfied aura pervades the entire book, and the frequency with which Ms. Powell congratulates herself in one fashion or another was utterly fascinating to me. She describes herself as sexy, as alluring, as inviting. At one point, when explaining why she so loves the text message, Ms. Powell writes, "With written words I can persuade, tease, seduce. My words are what make me desirable."
Not so, I say.
Ms. Powell's words are interesting only when she's writing about butchery and Fleischer's, the butcher's shop in which she apprentices. Here the writing is almost lovely and at times quite fine, but once Ms. Powell leaves the shop behind… the word self-absorbed comes to mind first, with masturbatory stepping on its heels. Do we need two hundred odd pages of utterly dull, completely abrading twaddle about Ms. Powell stalking D after he's dumped her, about Ms. Powell complaining that she doesn't think it's fair that she has to break up with someone she doesn't want to break up with, about Ms. Powell forever checking her BlackBerry to see if D has sent her yet another racy SMS? Not only that, do we need Buffy the Vampire Slayer quotation after quotation? Don't get me wrong, I'm a Buffy fan — I'm rewatching season two on Hulu right now, and I still laugh at the bitca scene — but do I use the show as a touchstone for my life? And if I did, would I really write about it at length, knowing that the possibility existed that a good portion of my readers wouldn't know what the heck I was talking about?*
Basically, what I'm trying to say rather poorly is this: a well-constructed story — whether it's told on the page or on the screen, and regardless of if it's fictional or factual — entices the audience. Its characters must somehow impress themselves onto that audience, and the narrative must purposely propel itself forward. Ms. Powell's characters, though they are effectively real people, fail to enrapture, and her wandering wallowing is absolutely aimless. Inertia is something that I can understand, as is engaging in contentious behavior, but I want to stress that I don't think Cleaving's fault lies in Ms. Powell's having had an affair, or for being torn between her husband and her lover. Affairs make for great drama — would The Great Gatsby even have a story if it were not for the infidelities of Gatsby, Daisy, Tom and Myrtle? The difference is that Cleaving is made up of melodrama, none of which is at all great.

Kompany Family Theatre has had the opportunity to help students in the Edmonton Catholic School District think about healthy lifestyles each year at their wellness symposium. Two of our professional performers lead the students, alongside a group of wellness experts, as they move through a circuit of workshops. The day culminates in a final set of drama-based workshops that examine the issues dealt with throughout the day.
This year's drama workshops were focused on:
- Healthy Relationships
- Digital Citizenship
- Positive Mental Health
- Healthy Choices Regarding Drugs & Alcohol
The day culminated in the creation of a music video, where the students choreographed what they had learned about stress management into several short phrases of dance, which then added up to a performance that accompanied Taylor Swift's Shake it Off.

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have now entered the realm of mobile games with South Park: Phone Destroyer. This free game has all of the South Park charm that the TV show offers both audience and fans. Players still play as the New Kid, Cartman has recruited him to join in their new phone card game because the New Kid is better than anyone else since they are always on their phone. So, a game of Cowboys vs. Indians ensues and Cartman walks the player through the game. It's simple. There are character cards in the player's hand that they can put on the playing field to summon different characters from the show. On the player's team is Sheriff Cartman and Gunslinger Kyle for the main two characters and one the opposing team is Stan of Many Moons and Inuit Kenny.
The goal of the first level is to defeat Inuit Kenny with the summon cards in the player's hand. Each card takes a certain amount of energy, anywhere from 2 to 6, with the max energy that the player can have being 10. Most of the cards are 3-4 energy, so summoning multiple characters at a time is not an issue. The player will gain an energy around every second so when one of the characters dies, more can be summoned. They can eventually be re-summoned, once the deck is filled out with all 12 cards or all of the cards in the player's hands have cycled through back to the beginning of the summons for those characters who died on the playing field. There are a few different types of cards. Sheriff Cartman, for example, is a tank. He is slower but has a higher amount of health. Gunslinger Kyle, however, is a ranged fighter. He's got lower health, but he can shoot characters from farther away. There are other characters who are fighters with average strength and average health, like Calamity Heidi, and an assassin, that are quick to travel across the field and hit hard, but have almost no health, such as Bandita Sally.
Once everyone becomes "bastards" for defeating Kenny, characters will join the player's team through card packs from Cartman's shop, through giveaways in game events, and through the natural progression of the game. At the end of each level, the player is presented with 10 lockers that they can choose from. South Park: Phone Destroyer lets the player know what the top 3 cards they can find are, and if they don't find them right away, in-game dollars can be used to open more lockers so that the best cards can be obtained. Once enough upgrade items and numerous cards have been collected, cards can be upgraded to add more health, attack points, special power, and defense to the character, to make them more aggressive on the battlefield and harder to fall. Once more levels in the story mode are won, a new mode becomes playable – PvP mode.
Now this may put some people off, and I wish I could say that they can be ignored in favor of the fun story, but to progress in the story, players must win a certain amount of PvP matches. I'm not a fan of any PvP games except for a select few and even then it isn't always my favorite mode. So, I sucked it up and played some PvP matches, joined a group, traded cards with other people, and continued the story. Right now, I am in Chapter 9 which is the beginning of the Fantasy campaign. The players start in Cowboy vs. Indians, then Space, then Religion, and finally Fantasy. I can only imagine where it will go from here. The same characters have different cards for each theme the kids play as. For example, Butters starts out as Deckhand Butters, then Astronaut Butters, Choir Boy Butters, and Paladin Butters. Now one thing to keep in mind when players are deciding on what characters to put in their decks, they can only pick two themes. So the player can't pick Sheriff Cartman, Enforcer Jimmy, and Witch Doctor Token. One of those characters will not be able to join the deck since those are from three different themes.
I absolutely love South Park: Phone Destroyer. It's extremely addicting to play through the campaign levels and go back and play them again on a higher difficulty to earn different rewards. The PvP aspect isn't my favorite, but it is still fun to see what other people add to their decks that differ from my own. Players can choose to buy micro transactions in South Park: Phone Destroyer, but can still play, get several achievements, and unlock several cards by simply playing, like I have. If you choose to spend some money though, obviously this will increase your power and fast track your progress. I hope you enjoy this wonderful mobile game as much as I did, and destroy your phone!
South Park: Phone Destroyer is available now on iOS and Android devices.

Nonintentional strangulation in children is a widely recognized risk as a result of the vulnerability of their airway to occlusion by relatively low pressures. We describe 2 cases of strangulation by intravenous (IV) tubing in infants, 1 of which was fatal. This is the first documentation in the health science literature of this as a potential adverse consequence of IV therapy in young children. It is important that hospitals that care for such children recognize this potential risk and implement the appropriate strategies to minimize or eliminate it. Preventive interventions may include ongoing assessment of the need for continuous rather than intermittent IV infusions (saline or heparin locked IV sites), individualized level of supervision according to the child's age and behavior, and engineering modifications to the IV equipment.
- wounds and injuries
- asphyxia
- suffocation
- accident
- infants
- safety management
- beds
- airway obstruction
- prevention
- hospital practice
Nonintentional self-strangulation of children with loose wires, cords, or other potential ligatures in or adjacent to sleeping areas is well-described.1,2 A recent study from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission analyzed 2178 fatalities that occurred between 1980 and 1997, describing several patterns of unintentional infant suffocation. "Entanglement" leading to strangulation was responsible for 14.3% of the fatalities. Plastic bags, bedding (nonplastic), blind/drapery cords, pacifier cords, and other types of cords were the most common sources.3
Intravenous (IV) therapy is a common treatment modality for children who are admitted to a hospital; hence, if there is a serious risk of strangulation associated with its use, then it is critical that health care providers be aware of it. With the help of a qualified health librarian, we searched the health literature and could find no previous description of this risk. We present 2 cases of mechanical asphyxia caused by IV tubing, 1 of which was fatal.
The first case involved an 11-month-old boy who had a history of prematurity and mild respiratory distress syndrome after being born at 28 weeks gestation and who remained in the neonatal intensive care unit for ∼3 months. After being home for 8 months, the child was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of pneumonia and dehydration. Although his motor development was somewhat delayed as a result of his prematurity, during his hospitalization the child could roll, sit, and pull himself to stand in the crib. He was treated with oxygen therapy, IV fluids, and antibiotics. During the 24 hours before this fatal strangulation, the nurses and mother had noted the child to become entangled in IV tubing 3 or 4 times around either the abdomen or the legs. On the day before his planned discharge, he was receiving IV antibiotics but no longer required oxygen therapy. The last nursing check was done at 1630 hours, at which time the child was stable. The parents went home at that time. However, at 1715 hours, the nursing staff found the child lying in his crib apneic and pulseless with the IV tubing wrapped 3 times around the neck. A cardiac arrest code was called, and after 22 minutes of resuscitation, including intubation and 3 doses of IV epinephrine, bicarbonate, and atropine, he regained a hemodynamically stable cardiac rhythm. He was then transferred to the regional pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). On physical examination, there were erythematous marks around the child's upper neck consistent with strangulation marks by IV tubing, and the child had seizures on arrival. Both pupils became fixed and dilated. Because there was no chance for meaningful recovery, the family agreed to withdraw therapy 48 hours after admission to the PICU. The autopsy was consistent with death resulting from asphyxial damage from the IV strangulation. The IV pump (IMED, Alaris 960 A; Alaris Medical Systems, San Diego, CA) was examined by the hospital biomedical engineering department and was found to be operating as per the manufacturer's specifications. The length of the IV tubing, which extended beyond the IV pump to the patient, was 165 cm.
The second case involved an 8.5-month old boy who was transferred from a peripheral hospital to the regional children's hospital with an invasive group A streptococcal cellulitis, secondary to chickenpox. Meningitis, pneumonia, bilateral otitis media, and anemia complicated his hospitalization. During the admission, he experienced a right-sided focal seizure, and neuroimaging revealed left occipital lobe abscess and a left superior parietal cerebritis. Cerebrospinal fluid cultures were positive for enterococcus. One month after admission, he was still receiving IV antibiotics through a percutaneously inserted central catheter for the enterococcal abscess and meningitis. One evening, at 1800 hours, the nursing staff performed a routine assessment and noted that his percutaneously inserted central catheter line was infusing well. At 1825 hours, he was observed by nursing staff to be sitting in his crib awake, then at 1835 hours was found sitting forward with his head on his lap and the IV tubing wrapped tightly 2 times around his neck. The tubing was 304 cm in total length from the bag, filling chamber, IV pump segment, and the extension to the patient. He was noted to be pulseless and apneic and hence cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated. He received full cardiorespiratory resuscitation with intubation, although he was noted to gasp after initial mouth-to-mouth respiration. During resuscitation, he had 2 generalized clonic seizures. The child was subsequently transferred to the PICU, and he eventually made an uneventful recovery. Neuropsychological assessment 2 weeks after the event, at 10 months of age, revealed a mild delay in cognitive (7 months) and motor function (8 months) but advanced social skills (12 months).
We believe that these are the first 2 cases of IV tubing strangulation described in the health literature. Our biomedical engineers accessed a database created by the Emergency Care Research Institute, which briefly describes 2 cases of fatal strangulation by IV tubing in the United States occurring in 1984 and the other in 1997. The actual risk of IV tubing strangulation in children is not known. As in other areas of medical misadventure, there may be an underreporting of this type of event.
The risk associated with cords placed close to children is well-described in the literature.2,3 We found 1 case of nonfatal strangulation by the wires from an apnea monitor in a child.4 The force necessary to asphyxiate a child seems to be relatively small5; therefore, they are particularly vulnerable to this airway compromise.
As in most areas of injury, prevention remains the best strategy. As any injury prevention initiative, passive primary interventions need to be implemented. First, it is important to examine critically the need for IV therapy in any child who is admitted to a hospital. If continuous fluid administration is not required but IV access is still needed, then the use of locking devices for peripheral and central lines is indicated. In our estimation, risk is related to the child's cognitive level, age, mobility, and the length of the IV tubing. The number of fatalities caused by entanglement was significantly higher in the group of children older than 7 months in the study by Drago and Danenberg.3 In addition, the overall number of tubings and lines (eg, oxygen tubing, pulse oximetry, electrocardiographic leads, IV lines) required for care may increase the risk of strangulation; however, we do not have any data to support this. It is not infrequent to see IV lines and other cables tangled when patients are very mobile, perhaps increasing the risk of pulling and tightening them around their limbs. Nonetheless, children who need more than 1 IV line and several other types of cords (saturation cable, electrocardiogram monitor leads, etc) are usually sicker, hence less mobile and under more constant supervision.
As another primary active prevention strategy, it is necessary to focus on reducing the potential of flexible lines and tubings to "wrap" and thus encircle limbs or the neck. A Canadian entrepreneur has developed a rigid, clear plastic sleeve that may be placed on the IV and any other tubing/wire close to the child. This device prevents the tubing from wrapping, while maintaining the function of the device and mobility of the child (see Fig 1).
As secondary active prevention initiative, the level of supervision necessary for any child needs to be scrutinized. For example, all children who are between 3 months and 3 years of age and admitted to the Stollery Children's Hospital and require IV therapy are evaluated regarding risk factors for entanglement. The bedside nurses, following a specific "policy and procedure" guideline, evaluate the potential risk on a shift-to-shift basis and take appropriate nursing actions on the basis of the risk assessment. Interventions for children who are deemed to be at risk include increasing the level of staffing or moving the child to a location where he or she can be observed more frequently.
To our knowledge, these are the first cases in the medical literature to describe strangulation by IV tubing; thus, it is important to recognize this as a potential adverse event in children who receive IV therapy. Carefully selecting patients for IV therapy, evaluating the appropriate level of supervision according to the child's age and behavior, and working with the industry to design safer systems should help to ensure that hospitals become safer places for children.

Any relationship that will stand the test of time must be built on trust. And time will test your relationship with your close friends and most especially your relationship with your spouse/partner.
One time I traveled away from my family and I met some guys. Interesting people and we became acquaintances well time did not afford me the luxury of growing a better friendship with them. While chatting and joking about whatever I can't even remember now a gist about how husbands are not committed/faithful to their wives came up. You know how a man is trying to hit on you and is trying to insinuate that you don't even know what your husband is doing now. That line didn't work with me as I laughed at it off.
My response to the man in question: "Seriously that is not one of the things I think about. It is simply not an issue between I and my husband as we trust each other and I trust God to continue to help us be faithful to each other". They looked at me like I was really naïve.
Ok, sister/Woman/Lady reading this I know there are unfaithful spouses and partners out there but seriously you have a choice in the matter.
If you are still dating a guy/man and you notice that he flirts around walk away now no matter how much you think you love him. Some ladies think …"Oh so long as I get to be the one he gives a ring to then I am ok". Come on! That ring is not going to break your heart He will and over and over again. People don't change that easily only an encounter with God can change them.
Now to my married sisters…Hmmmn…I see a trend that is quite disturbing. A woman is suspicious about every move of her husband. She checks his phone for any rival; monitors his every move and nags him about cheating on her. Tell me how you will even be happy in that marriage. Girl, it is not your monitoring that will make your man faithful to you. Instead, you are susceptible to getting hypertension or a nervous breakdown.
You can actually turn your spouse into a cheater with the pressure of unnecessary suspicion. Some women drive their men crazy with monitoring his every move so much that the man begins to dread going home to his wife after closing from work. Such men begin to spend longer hours outside the home and this will only aggravate your fear as a woman.
So dear woman/sister please it is time to change your tactics in keeping your man. Suspicion will only make things worse neither can you continue on the path of being over possessive…you simply don't want him talking to any other woman.
Concentrate on turning your man's attention to you
Concentrate on making your man your friend
Concentrate on making him want to come to you every day as soon as he is done working for the day.
How to get your man to have eyes only for you and be your friend:
• Love yourself. If you don't love yourself you will not trust another person's love
• Be a prayerful woman: You need God to teach you, change you and your partner for the better.
But My dear sister/woman going to prayer mountains may not be the solution you need to keep your man, you need to change your attitude also.
• Work on being a better person and partner.
• Let go of your parent's marriage issues: Some women think that since their parent's marriage didn't work or since their dad walked out on their mother every man cannot be trusted.
Your parent's story doesn't have to be your story. You can have a beautiful home and marriage.
• Affirm your man and praise him even for little things he does. For example, your husband buys something and all you can think of is how he could have gotten a better deal. Then you go ahead to tell him that he was cheated, you are deflating his ego. Next time he might not buy anything again and don't complain when he doesn't.
• Be interested in his job, hobbies and ask him about it. This kind of conversation is building friendship between you both. And seriously you don't have to be a fan of his hobby but because it matters to him be interested. I am not a football fan but my husband….hehehe he loves football.
Suspicion only breeds trouble especially if the other party is not guilty of anything.
More Woman to Woman Talk Issues coming up on this blog: We will be talking and you can join the conversation. Let's help each other succeed and become better.

When to visit a doctor? Hemorrhoids and diarrhea are similar in several ways, people usually don't take it seriously and it's great for jokes, but there are several cases when you should not delay going to the doctor to get a proper diagnosis.
Your diet must contain the right amount of fat. Too little fat makes the stool hard, too much can irritate the digestion. Vary between these natural fat sources: Fat fish, almonds, olive oil, rape oil, canola oil and flax oil. The fat type in these oils alleviates inflammations in the digestive system. In addition you should consume some, but not too much of these fat sources: Nuts, sunflower seeds, avocados, eggs, spawn, sunflower oil, corn oil and soy oil.
Whether the type of hemorrhoids is internal or external, surgical methods can be applied to remove the tissues. Necessary precautions must be taken when the patient suffers from this disorder. The help of a doctor must be sought immediately, if one has constant constipation as well as strain while passing excreta.
You can also use oral drugs to treat hemorrhoids. The actions of these are: Stool softening, stimulation of intestinal movements, stimulation of tissue regeneration, anti-inflammatory action and pain relief.
The infrared coagulation method, is a method where special devices are used to shrink the size of the tissues. Injections with chemical solutions are also a good way, as this solution reduces the size of the inflamed tissues. This solution must be injected at the area of inflammation.
In order to treat hemorrhoids it is important that you understand what they are. Hemorrhoids are inflamed veins in the anus and rectum so to treat them, it is a simple matter of finding a way to reduce the swelling caused by inflammation and eventually remove the source of the inflammation all together. While there are products such as over the counter creams and suppositories to do this, you may rather try some home remedies instead.
Temporary usually last up to a month (3-4 weeks), and is related to infection by bacteria, virus or parasite. Short-term can cause further discomfort if you all ready suffer from hemorrhoids, but cannot be hemorrhoids cause by it self.
Move bowels regularly. When you feel the urge, attend to it right away. Postponing the call of nature can create harder stools that are difficult to eliminate.
Diarrhea is very rare the cause of hemorrhoids, but it can nonetheless contribute if you already have other predisposition. Treat it seriously and persistently and it should go away, usually all it takes is to find what food your body does not absorb well.
Two or three cups of coffee or tea each day stimulate the intestines to work better and counteract constipation. Too much, however, can irritate the stomach, can cause bloating, and thereby worsen constipation and hemorrhoids.
Traveler's Diarrhea It is most common in southern parts of our planet, close to the equator. Europe, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and Australia (urban areas have one of the highest standards in the world for hygiene, but Australian outback is something different) all have very high standards when it comes to food and water.
One of the easiest ways to treat the symptoms of hemorrhoids is to understand that hemorrhoids happen because of increased pressure and straining in the rectal veins. By making simple changes in both diet and lifestyle, you can make a big impact on the pressure applied to these veins. One of the biggest causes of straining during a bowel movement is a hard stool and to keep your stool soft, a change in diet can often help. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber will make you more regular and keep your stool soft. You may also wish to consider an over the counter stool softener medication. Increased pressure in the rectal veins can also be caused by excessive sitting, especially on the toilet, and by standing for too long. Changing your lifestyle to get more exercise and spend less time sitting can definitely make a difference in reducing the symptoms of hemorrhoids. While diet and lifestyle changes can help, they will take some time and you may be looking for more immediate relief.
"Hemorrhoids are dilated rectal veins that have clotted and become inflamed. Any of the following makes you eligible for membership in the hemorrhoid club: chronic constipation, recurring diarrhea, continual stress, having several babies, frequently lifting heavy objects, sitting around a lot, or standing for long hours at a stretch. You'll further improve your chances of developing hemorrhoids if you're fat, don't eat enough fiber, or tend to become engrossed in a novel while sitting on the toilet. Nearly all of us have some of these characteristics, which is why hemorrhoids are so common," Rosenfeld added.
Any food that hardens your stool is ok, bananas, rice, toast, crackers, toast all cause stool to harden, just be careful not to over do it. Avoid milk products and most of the fruits.
You can alleviate acute hemorrhoids by applying topical ointments in the anal region. These products will do several simultaneous actions: Lubricating the anus to pass stool more easily, alleviating inflammation, killing bacteria infecting the hemorrhoids, stimulating tissue healing and alleviating pain.
Regular exercise will stimulate your intestines to work more effectively and this way counteract constipation and hemorrhoids. Take also some time each day to stress down and relax. A nervous system in a stressed mood sends fewer signals to the digestive system to work, and the digestive system slows down its function. Meditation is a very effective way of stressing down that also stimulates the digestive organs to work better.
Most of Africa, Asia and South America is where you should watch your food and water. Don't drink tap water, don't drink dairy products, don't eat raw fruits or vegetables, avoid raw or rare meat. In case that you can not buy bottled water that you know for certain is OK, make sure to bring along either water purifying tablets or kits.
Fortunately, there are several ways to beat hemorrhoids and end your suffering. Here are some helpful tips: Don't strain during bowel movement. Relax and take all the time you need.
Diarrhea is a watery stool occurring more than three times in a day, usually lasting a day or two. However, if prolonged it can be an indication of serious problems. It can be accompanied by cramping abdominal pain, bloating, nausea or an urgent need to use the bathroom.

Is there anything better than a breakfast that tastes like dessert? I think not.
This chia pudding with berries and yogurt is a refreshing and healthy breakfast. Plus, it's perfect for those of you who don't have much time in the morning or just like very quick and easy breakfasts because it takes literally five minutes to put together.
Want to wake up to this nutritious and delish berry and yogurt chia pudding? Simply combine chia with milk and refrigerate overnight and layer it up with yogurt and berries the next morning. I use real milk and yogurt in this recipe, but you can definitely make it dairy-free or vegan by using a plant-based or vegan milk and yogurt. Note that your choice of milk may affect the consistency of the chia pudding, but this recipe is flexible. So, if your pudding is too thick or too thin, feel free to add a bit more milk or chia seeds.
As for toppings, you can be creative with them. I just really like fruit, especially berries, so I often use strawberry yogurt and fresh berries. I think they make a perfect combo, but other fruits/toppings are great too! You can top your chia pudding with pretty much anything you want, it's hard to go wrong. And the stuff just never fails to live up to its name. Chia pudding is a real pudding! That - first thing in the morning. I, for one, will never say no to pudding for breakfast!
Another thing that's good to know is that, just like overnight oats, chia pudding will keep in the fridge for about five days. If you prepare the chia pudding five times the recipe and get five cups of yogurt and enough fruit or any other topping you like to last you five puddings, that's breakfast sorted for a week!
Sooooo, what are you waiting for? Get preparing these beauts!
Chia Pudding with Berries and Yogurt Recipe
- 2 tablespoons chia
- 50 milliliters milk
- 50 grams strawberry yogurt or any kind you like
- Blueberries and raspberries for toppings and basil leaves for garnish
- Combine chia and milk in a bowl and refrigerate overnight.
- Layer the chia pudding with yogurt and toppings the next morning and enjoy!

Investigative Journalism Proves Life-Threatening in Mexico
Three muckraking journalists have been assaulted or gone missing this month, with at least one of them slain, in a sign that investigating corruption remains a dangerous trade in Mexico.
The attacks appear to be an effort by organized crime to silence the media so that "no one knows anything," Deputy Atty. Gen. Jose Luis Santiago Vasconcelos said Saturday.
The latest victim was prizewinning newspaper editor Raul Gibb Guerrero, owner of La Opinion in the town of Poza Rica, near the Gulf of Mexico. He was shot to death in neighboring Papantla on Friday night after publishing exposes on traffickers of stolen gasoline and drugs in the state of Veracruz.
"He was an altruist, dedicated to using the newspaper to improve society," reporter Gabriel Hernandez said of his late boss. "No way will this stop us. We owe it to him to continue."
Gibb's slaying followed the shooting of radio reporter Guadalupe Garcia Escamilla of Nuevo Laredo, a border city in Tamaulipas state, on April 5. Garcia Escamilla was shot nine times as she left the Estereo 91 station. She survived the attack but remains in critical condition.
Nidia Egremy, of the Mexican Reporters Society, said Garcia had also been digging into municipal corruption in Nuevo Laredo and had received threats.
"The state of Tamaulipas is the most dangerous one in Mexico if you are independent and critical," Egremy said. On Saturday, the state's public security minister, Luis Roberto Gutierrez, suggested that reporters should carry firearms.
Alfredo Jimenez Mota, a 25-year-old reporter with the newspaper El Imparcial in the northern city of Hermosillo, disappeared on his way to an interview April 2 and has not been seen publicly since. Authorities and colleagues fear that he was slain. Jimenez Mota recently had written stories about alleged plans of drug traffickers to kill government officials.
"We have no details on whom he was going to see or what subject they were going to talk about," said his father, Jose Alfredo Jimenez, when asked in a telephone interview from Hermosillo about the nature of his son's last assignment. "This is torture not being able to talk to him or find him."
Mexico is among the more hazardous places in the world for journalists to ply their trade, said Carlos Lauria, coordinator of the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists. It ranks 11th among countries in the number of journalists slain over the last decade, with nine killed. Iraq, Algeria and Colombia top the list.
The International Press Institute reported last month that four journalists were killed in Mexico last year, more than any other Latin American nation. It noted that "corruption and drug trafficking have made it almost impossible for journalists to carry out investigative reporting" in Mexico.
Lauria said the northern border region, through which billions of dollars' worth of drugs are smuggled into the United States each year, has become especially hazardous. Mexican police rarely solve the crimes, he said, which contributes to further attacks.
"The impunities around these crimes are a green light for those who perpetrate them to attack the next reporter," Lauria said.
Jose Carreno, director of journalism studies at Iberoamericana University in Mexico City, said investigative journalism, already rare in the country, has been made even less attractive to journalists because of "out-of-control powers acting with great impunity."
Gibb's family founded La Opinion half a century ago in Poza Rica, a refining center where the major employer is Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, the state oil monopoly.
Under Gibb's direction, La Opinion won two national prizes in 2002 and 2004 for its work in uncovering gasoline contraband rackets that allegedly operated with the complicity of high-ranking Pemex officials. Despite those articles, gangs still steal gasoline directly from the refineries and sell it in adulterated form to gas stations in several states, according to recent La Opinion reports. The paper's most recent story on the rackets appeared April 4.
Authorities said Gibb had received threats shortly before his slaying. The editor was driving home Friday when he was stopped by four gunmen in two trucks who pumped 15 bullets into him. Police have arrested no suspects.
He is survived by his wife, Ana, and three children.

20 Jul Ken-Foods IFS certification: the principle of quality
All companies have something that distinguishes them and makes them unique and incomparable, differentiating them from the rest in their sector. For Ken-Foods that something is, without doubt, quality, which is endorsed by the IFS Food certification.
Quality has always been the main concern and objective for Ken-Foods. That is why for many years our company has held the IFS Food certificate, which is only given to those companies that have certified and validated the production, handling and transport processes for their products.
IFS Food is a food safety standard that is acknowledged by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) with the aim of auditing food processing companies and companies that pack loose food products. It mainly focusses on food safety and quality of the processed products.
The IFS Food certificate is the best hallmark of quality of those that Ken-Foods holds in both the domestic and international markets.
Ken-Food IFS Food Certification
Ken-Foods has the IFS Food 6.1 Standard accrediting that our company carries out the production, packing and processing of products such as cream and dairy products following the main food safety standards established for the domestic and international markets.
From the beginning, Ken-Foods has always prioritised special attention to R&D, design, creation and food safety and quality guarantees in the creation of all its products, making sure that each and every one is produced not just with care and dedication, but fully respecting current domestic and international legislation and guaranteeing the highest standard for food quality as its IFS Food certification proves.
This makes Ken-Foods an excellent global supplier of reference for all industries related with HORECA, Bakery, Ice cream and Industry.
As well as the IFS Food system that guarantees those organisations creating high quality products, Ken-Foods has also implemented a "Risk Analysis, Risk Analysis Monitoring and Critical Points Monitoring System". These three mechanisms mean that the quality of Ken-Foods products and their safety for human consumption are never in doubt and they have reached levels of excellence that very few other companies in the dairy sector can reach.

Teams, coaches strive for successful seasons
The winter sports season is upon us and all of the coaches are looking to prepare their players for the long season ahead. With a tougher slate of games for all teams that participate in winter sports, it will be a test of their heart and determination.
Girls Soccer
Boys soccer coach Matthew Markarian has transitioned to the girls' soccer scene as head coach. Hoping to continue the success of the girls' soccer team who has made playoff runs in recent years, Markarian is hoping to bring a fresh look to the program in hopes of winning a championship.
"The girls team has had a lot of turn over the last few years," Matthew said. "I feel like I can bring the stability and experience the team really needs. I am looking forward to the new challenge of building a stable program again. There is a lot of talent on the girls' team and I look forward to seeing the results at the end of the season. Coaching the girls is very different but the game is the same. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the girls so far and I hope that Coach Dave and I can make many more memories throughout the year."
With highlighted matchups against Fowler High School and Riverdale High School, the team will be tested by their upcoming competition. Lauryn Tucker, '18, is hoping to make the most out of her last year of soccer.
"One of the things that I'm going to miss about soccer the most is the feeling of having a second family," Tucker said. "My teammates have offered a lot of support throughout the years and I'm very grateful for them. I have made a lot of good memories throughout my years of playing soccer. It will be nice to look back and remember some of the good times we all shared. It's going to be an emotional rollercoaster but I'm glad my parents are going to be there just like how they've always been there for me."
Some soccer games last year were canceled due to poor weather conditions. The Feather will post updates on the status of games and cancellations that may occur during the season.
Boys Soccer
Filling his brother's role as boys soccer coach, Garrett Markarian plans to lead the team, along with new coach Frank Brunnemann. Garrett hopes to keep some of his brothers tactics but will also implement his own ideas into the mix.
"My goals for this season is of course to win the Valley championship," Garrett said. "But we are young and it is important to make sure we are developing our players so in a couple of years we will be a real threat. Coach Frank and I have our own philosophy of developing players. I feel that's what makes coaching special because everyone has their own way of doing things.I was intrigued by the position and I knew it would be a challenge but I'm glad I took the opportunity."
After playing soccer his freshman and sophomore year, Griffin Schmidt, '19, decided to switch to basketball this season. He discusses his decision to the change sports after being a part of the soccer team for two years.
"I just wanted to try something new," Schmidt said. "I think it was time for a change. Basketball seemed like a great opportunity. Coach (Penberthy) talked to me about the chance of me playing and I was on board from the start. My interest in soccer wasn't the same as it had been during my freshman and sophomore year. I just thought I'd enjoy basketball more at this point in my high school career. It wasn't hard to make the change but I'm glad that I did."
Boys soccer will be continuing to practice throughout Thanksgiving break, except for on Thanksgiving day.
Boys basketball
Boys basketball had a successful season last year making it to the semifinals in the CIF playoffs but eventually losing in the playoff semi-finals to Caruthers High School. Returning for his fourth year as head coach, Jon Penberthy wants to keep improving from years prior even though the team is completely different from last season.
"It's a big challenge to only have one returning player from varsity last year," Penberthy said. "Normally you would have 4-5 players returning which allowed them to lead by example. This year we are learning as a group to do things. It's a challenge for the coaches as well. We are trying to see who plays well with each other and what everyone's strengths are. Our expectations are to compete every night. To continually get better each practice and to put ourselves in an opportunity to win each game."
The only returning member of the team from last year is Wyatt Koop. He hopes to rally the players and get some key wins throughout the season.
"Since I am the only returning varsity player from the previous year," Koop said. "I want to be able to teach the new players that have come up from JV. The reason why is because it is a big step from JV (junior varsity). The speed and the intensity of varsity can be overwhelming sometimes. I hope I can be the leader that they can rely on. That is one of my biggest goals of the season."
Most of the players that are on varsity this year were improving their skills on the JV basketball team last year. Penberthy and his coaching staff will be working closely to take their games to the next level for the upcoming season. They will also be scrimmaging Firebaugh High School in their home gymnasium during the Thanksgiving break.
Girls basketball
After a season which had it's ups and downs for the girls' basketball team, head coach Robert Foshee kept his girls grounded and worked to improve throughout the summer as well. Foshee ensured the girls worked hard over the summer in preparation for the upcoming season.
"You can never replace your seniors," Foshee said. "But we've improved this year through returners maturing and developing as well adding newcomers Hannah Vannoy, Hannah Villines, and Sophia Kalugin. We had one of our best summer programs this year. Both the numbers of girls who participated and the success they had on the court at the Fresno City League. Just playing basketball more will translate to better team chemistry and confidence during the season. The goal of our coaching staff is to develop the girls into better basketball players, better community members, and better followers of Jesus."
Returning point guard of the team Ashley Zamarripa hopes to build off of her success with the team last year. She knows it is team game and everyone is going to be on the same page for them to have a successful season.
"I am very grateful for my teammates," Zamarripa said. "The main reason why is because they've helped me become a better basketball player on the court but most importantly a better friend off of it. They help me stay focused during the games and show me the importance of a team. My coaches have helped me stay positive throughout tough games and show me the importance of playing with the team."
The girls believe in themselves and that they can have another successful year behind the support of the FC students. The girls have key matchups against rivals Fowler High School and Parlier High School where they will be looking to come up on top with a victory.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette is retiring six months after suffering a serious neck injury in a game last season.
Ricardo Lockette suffered a neck injury in a game at Dallas in November and had to have surgery to repair ligaments in his neck. He wore a neck brace for months afterward, and the severity of the injury became more apparent when Lockette later revealed that he could have died on the field.
In the aftermath of the injury, Ricardo Lockette maintained his desire to play football again. About two weeks after the injury, Lockette said he not only expected to play again next season but that he expected to be a Pro Bowler.
In April, Ricardo Lockette said he was taking his recovery one day and one step at a time.
"I'm healing and depending on my teammates and the training staff to get me back to where I need to be," he said.
Ricardo Lockette was a free agent after last season, although he appeared with Seahawks teammates at events. An undrafted free agent, Ricardo Lockette became a contributor at receiver and one of the Seahawks' best special-teams players.
He was always one of Seattle's fastest players, and he always had the size teams want from receivers. But as he got older, he started to harness his natural talent and became a trusted enough player that the Seahawks targeted him at the goal line on the infamous interception that ended their chance to win the Super Bowl against the Patriots in 2015.
Ricardo Lockette's injury was a sobering and scary moment. He was covering a punt when a Cowboys player delivered a hard hit near midfield. His teammates were furious, thinking it was a cheap shot. They knelt and stood beside him as he was taken off the field on a stretcher. He held up an "L" with his fingers, which stood for one of the Seahawks' slogans: Love our brothers. Teammates Russell Okung and Marshawn Lynch stayed in Dallas while Lockette had surgery.
"It was one of the craziest things I've been a part of," Ricardo Lockette said a few weeks after the injury. "I'm lying on the ground. You can't feel your legs. You can't feel your arms. And you can't really respond. You don't really know what's going to happen in the next couple of seconds. You don't know if you're going to black out. You don't know if you're ever going to get feeling in your body. You don't know if this is it."
He paused and gathered his emotions.
"You just have a real blank mind, and then all the important things start to matter," he said. "You start to think about your family. 'Am I going to play with my kids again?' Just the important stuff. The crazy thing is, once I got my voice back and once I was able to talk again, all I cared about was winning the game."

Although I have never seen "The Sopranos" - I know, my friends tell me I should and that they are sure I would like it, so now I will. There are plenty of other things I have seen Mr. Gandolfini in, and he was always one of the if not the only highlight.
I will never forget seeing him playing a gay Hit Man, Winston Baldry in the really lame Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts vehicle "The Mexican". The role was like Tony Soprano with a twist, James got to demonstrate a distinctive and sharp comedic flair.
So if you will excuse me I have a lot of catching up to do and am off to watch "The Sopranos" now...
Tony Soprano: Retarded? What if Jerry Lewis heard you talkin' like that?

The Language Show 2011
As described in more details in a previous post, the Language Show is an event addressed to language teachers, translators, interpreters, linguists and anyone with a passion for languages. This year's show took place at the National Hall, Olympia. One of the sponsors was the Chartered Institute of Linguists. Apart from the stall where linguists could find out more about this association and how to join, they also organised seminars for linguists. Michael Cunningham, member of the IoL, talked about his experience as a professional translator. More about his tips and tricks below.
Starting out as a professional linguist – the seminar
I definitely enjoyed this seminar, it was not a boring monologue, but an interactive session. Here are the main points covered:
There are many skills that make a good translator or interpreter, such as education, discipline, confidence, research skills, language skills etc. In Michael's opinion, the three top ones are:
- mastery of the mother tongue (target language)
- mastery of the source language
- excellent subject knowledge
People find it weird to see perfect command of the mother tongue listed, but in order to be a good linguist, you need to be able to speak your mother tongue perfectly, to know how to express yourself correctly (when speaking and writing), to use different registers as required.
As for subject knowledge, contrary to the general belief, the more specialised you are the more money you can make.
How can one improve their language skills (both in target and source language)? Well, reading (communicating in general) daily in both languages is essential. If you want to become better acquainted to and later specialised in a certain field (let's say sports), try to read the same type of article/ piece of news etc. in both languages to become familiar with special terms, expressions, tone and register.
"They need you as much as you need them."
How to find your clients? Well, there are several ways, depending also on your language combination, if you are specialised or not, how much experience you have etc. :
- if you are just starting out or finding it difficult to find clients, contacting translation agencies can be a good starting point; register with as many as possible to increase your chances of getting work
- contact prospective clients directly
- phone them up
- go to their office
- attend conferences or fairs (and don't forget to take your CV and business cards with you)
What you can charge depends on many factors: language combination (and how common it is), field of specialisation, area etc. For example, if you are an Arabic-English interpreter working in a specialist technical area, you can probably charge the earth. But if your language combination is French-English and you live in London, you will find the going much harder.
Do your research. Try forums, speak to other linguists and see how much they charge. Always be willing to negotiate and help!
Entrepreneurial skills
When you start your own business, you need to take into consideration:
- start-up money
- a reliable computer
- good software
- advertising your business
- good presentation (emails, invoices, CV etc.)
- meeting deadlines
Has anyone else attended the seminar? I would love to hear your opinions!
