Sage 500 Accounting, Finance, and Cash Receipts
Import Pending Cash Receipts - with the increased use of electronic funds transfer, lock boxes, and third party web pages, a new import utility will be added in cash receipts to minimize the manual entry typically required to process these alternative payment methods.
Tracking Miscellaneous Cash Receipts - standard reports and onscreen views will be enhanced to include miscellaneous cash receipt transactions in order to minimize the effort in reconciling these payments by Accounts Receivable and Cash Receipts personnel.
When it comes to Bank Reconciliation, Sage 500 2013 improves the experience with a re-sizable screen and the ability to reprint the register as many times as needed. Period End Closing is also enhanced with the ability to lock down postings (and override if needed) to individual sub-ledgers, offering better control over posting of "trailing" transactions after period end is complete.

I've been contributing a column about taste and flavour to an admirable new on-line magazine called Flavour First (see http://www.flavourfirst.org). I thought I would recycle them in this blog just in case some faithful followers might have missed them.
At the Fat Duck, they used to serve a little nibble to kick off any meal. It consisted of a rectangular tablet. One side was orange and the other deep purple. One side was orange jelly and the other beetroot jelly, the solicitous waiter would explain, adding 'I suggest you start with the orange.' This being the Fat Duck, the orange jelly turned out to be beetroot, being made with yellow beetroot, and the purple side taste of orange, being made with blood oranges.
It was a classic case of misdirection, and produced a palpable sense of shock, just as you experience when you pick up a glass of water swig it and discover it's really vodka, or, even worse, the other way round. Our relationship with taste and flavour starts long before we actually do any eating. It begins when we smell food and/or see it. At that moment our brains whirr into gear, setting up a series of responses and expectations.
Only after that come the responses when we actually put the stuff into our mouths. We push it around with out tongues, assessing texture chew on it a few times, releasing its juices, and that's when we 'taste' things.
In easier, simpler days there used to be just four tastes – sweet, sour, salty, bitter. Then they were joined by a fifth, umami, natural MSG, best described as a savory facilitator for other tastes. We had known about it since being identified by Kikunae Ikeda in 1908, but Western experts remain skeptical about its existence and importance until 2001 when Prof Charles Zuker proved that we had taste receptors specifically for umami.
Taste receptors – there's another area of debate and changing knowledge. I can remember the days when it was thought we only had about 300 receptors, and it was generally accepted that these were located on the tongue, around the mouth, and in the throat. At the last count it turned out that there are over 2000 to 5000 taste receptors (scientists is always revising the number upwards) dotted all over the place, including in our tummies, gut and pancreas.
It was also once thought that each receptor has specific functions in relation to the five basic tastes, i.e. 1:1. Now It seems that taste receptors are rather more promiscuous than we previously thought, in that predominantly bitter receptors, let's say, also register degrees of sweetness, and ditto salt receptors for bitterness and so on. And if that weren't confusing enough, taste receptors vary from person to person, and aren't all switched on all the time. There are specific taste hotspots in the brain, too, which respond to specific tastes.
Once upon time, everything was so clear. We tasted tastes in our mouths and while our olfactory bulbs sorted out the flavours. Now no one seems able to decide where taste ends and flavour starts. As far as I can make out, most authorities treat them as if they merge one into the other.
But, but, but, it seems to me that there's still some kind of separation. If you don't believe me, try the old squeeze-the-nose test. Eat a pear squeezing your nose, and you'll be hard put to tell whether it's an apple or a pear. Then unsqueeze your nose, and the pear flavour will fill your head. But if you chew a lemon squeezing your nose, you can tell it's a lemon by its acidity, because acidity is a taste. All clear now? Mmmm.

The newest 2020 Cadillac XT5 is been tested on the public roads. However, regardless of the camouflage, we were able to realize that its new exterior design is going to probably be inspired by the Escala concept and the most recent XT4 models. The carmaker has given it a mid-cycle refresh significance that it will get the revised front and rear fascias. Visually, the interior will stay the same while it will find more tech features now. Under its hood, the new Cadillac will get a new turbocharged engine together with the hybrid as well.
2020 Cadillac XT5 Redesign and Preview
The Cadillac XT5 is an appealing and very handsome SUV with its clean design, amazing details and elegant lines, but it at the exact same time, it also appears competitive. The carmaker is now working on the newest version which will appear on the market as 2020 Cadillac XT5. The newest 2020 Cadillac XT5 will find a mid-cycle refresh that will make it look more modern and aggressive.
It has been seen on the roads throughout the testing and based on the area of the camouflage, the XT5 will get revised both the front and rear fascias. Each of the changes of the new XT5 will be borrowed from the new Escala concept. So, the front fascia will wear a new design of the grille, new graphics on the lights, and a revised bumper. Furthermore, the XT5 will even get some comparable design tweaks from the new XT4 SUV.
Interior Design and Exterior
The interior of the 2020 Cadillac will remain a place of refined, quiet, and modern. The cottage is made of high quality materials such as real wood, leather, aluminum, and carbon fiber. It is sufficiently spacious and it could accommodate up to five passengers without any discomfort. The base model comes with synthetic leather upholstery although the higher trim levels will probably get nicer leather.
The second row of seats can slide if needed more cargo space leg room. With all seats up, the XT5 offers the cargo space of around 30 cubic feet. However, with the next row folded down, there is the room of around 63 cubic feet. The dashboard is going to be fitted using an 8-speed touchscreen to the infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. So, as we could resolve, the new 2020 Cadillac XT5 will not receive any changes in the terms of design and design, but it is going to find some new tech features such as the Super Cruise partial self-driving system.
2020 Cadillac XT5 Features
The 2020 Cadillac XT5 is going to be available in base Luxurious, Premium Luxury, Sport, and Platinum trim levels. The base model will come standard with power front seats, leatherette upholstery, power liftgate, GM's OnStar concierge, safety connectivity, keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a rearview camera, 18-inch wheels, and so on. The Premium trimming will include heated seats, leather, blind-spot monitors, a panoramic moonroof, parking sensors, and rear cross-traffic alarms.
The Driver Awareness package will add lane departure warning, active lane control, automatic emergency braking, and automatic high-beam headlamps. Navigation, bigger 20-inch alloys, and Bose audio will also be available. The Premium Luxury model will also incorporate 20-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps, along with a flexible suspension. Full-speed automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control is going to be offered too. The top-line Platinum will also receive a head-up display, nicer leather, and an 8.0-inch tool cluster.
2020 Cadillac XT5 Engine
The current model is available with one single option under its hood. However, the 2020 Cadillac XT5 may also offer a few new engines this moment. So, the familiar 3.6-liter V-6 will return for 2019 and it will be able to develop 310 horsepower and the torque of 271 pound-feet. It will be mated to a 8-speed transmission along with a choice between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. However, according to the latest news, the upcoming Cadillac should get a new GM 9-speed automatic transmission this moment.
Speaking of the fuel efficiency, the front-wheel drive model is rated at 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. The all-wheel drive version gets 18 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. On the other hand, the 2019 Cadillac XT5 are also offered with a new 2.0-liter inline-4 turbocharged gasoline engine as an option. Furthermore, the Chinese market is predicted to get a mild-hybrid system in the newest XT5 as before.
Release Date and Price
According to the most recent information, the all-new 2020 Cadillac XT5 should be presented sometime at the beginning of 2019. And it should go on sale later next year. The price is not yet revealed, but it should remain near the present which starts at around $41,700.

Green is the new black - Sustainable and "Fair Fashion" on the rise in the clothing industry
The trend towards sustainable and fair clothing production has been around for a while, but so far "green" clothing was often far from trendy and even further from fashionable – up until now. More and more consumers are demanding so-called "sustainable and fair fashion" – trend-conscious clothes that can be worn without a guilty conscience towards the environment or your fellow human beings.
Not surprisingly, America is once again a pioneer in the field and New York City proudly calls itself "the GREEN Apple". The city provides a large selection of sustainable clothing not only in small boutiques, but also at big chains, from talented up-and-coming designers or online retailers. A small selection of such fair and sustainable New York brands can be found here . The city that never sleeps, also provides you with an array of fun events to help you discover even more sustainable fashion and fair labels, as the local blog "Ecocult " shows. And that's not all, the blog also helps you search for "fashionable" but fair Christmas gifts and other sustainable finds.
Cross-border AND generations
More and more people around the world want to know where and how their jeans and T-shirts were produced – and the trend is not a "millennial phenomenon". Although studies show that sustainable production is a priority for millennials in particular, now also 34% of "Generation X" and 30% of "Baby Boomers" claim they want to see more environmentally friendly fabrics on the market .
And the trend is not only on the rise in the US, Canada is also doing its "fair" share. The "Eco Fashion Week" in Vancouver has had 11 successful seasons so far and focuses, among other things, on presenting more innovative production solutions for the fashion industry and promoting the "eco-recipe" as a guideline for fair fashion – learn more here .
Clothes are valuable - not disposable
Seeing the fashion industry breaking new grounds left us wondering what we can do as individuals to contribute to this positive trend. The Austrian "Vegan and Fair Fashion" blogger Livia Van Heerde (Instagram: @liviavanh) recommends first and foremost to make the most of the clothes you already own. There are many ways to recombine, restyle or recycle old garments, and instead of throwing an item out after wearing it a couple of times, you could donate it, pass it on to others or even swap it; the latter is now also possible online as for example through the American company "Swap.com ". In general, the idea is to avoid producing waste that pollutes our environment, with clothes that are actually still valuable.
In addition, Livia encourages readers of her blog to either buy clothes second-hand or carefully choose brands, that are "fair" and sustainable to prevent supporting "fast fashion" chains. She also points out that environmentally and socially fair fashion comes at a fair price and that you will probably not be able to turn your closet "green" from one day to the other. However, with each new purchase you can make an important decision as an informed consumer. It's all about doing your homework before making a purchase decision and becoming aware of the value of clothing in the first place. On that note, Livia shakes her head and explains that a T-shirt with the word "Feminist" printed on it was probably not produced under feminist, fair and sustainable conditions, if it cost you $5 Dollars. More about the real value of clothes and how to shift broken paradigms can be found on Livia's blog or in the documentary "True Cost ".
For those who are now wondering where to find more fair and sustainable brands, Livia recommends the "Fair Fashion Guide ", which lists a wide selection of ethical and sustainable brands or the following brands, which produce ethically and/or environmentally friendly in the US:
And if you want to shop consciously and locally in Austria, Livia points out the following Austrian brands, which offer ecological outfits without the "eco-design" look:
Have we sparked your interest? The Austrian Trade Commission in New York focuses, among other things, on innovations in the fashion industry. Feel free to contact us at any time at email@example.com if you have questions or require further information.

About the Registry
The GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer founded the Lung Cancer Registry in 2016 and, by joining forces with the American Lung Association and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), expanded this effort to advance research for the world's deadliest cancer. The Lung Cancer Registry is a community for people with all forms of lung cancer. Powered by data from patients and caregivers, this platform gives those most affected by lung cancer a voice.
Registered patients, caregivers, clinicians, and researchers can access the de-identified information. Researchers use the information patients and caregivers provide as a research tool to help discover new findings. By sharing their cancer journeys and participating in research surveys, patients and caregivers help improve patients' lives by supporting research into better treatments, care, and outcomes.
Messages From Our Sponsoring Members
Nearly a quarter million Americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer this year. Gathering information from patients and passing that knowledge on to other lung cancer patients accurately and quickly is helping patients live longer, which is our goal.
Too many Americans face lung cancer, and we simply must do more to save lives. To ultimately defeat this disease, we embrace innovative approaches like the Lung Cancer Registry, which will allow researchers to directly gain knowledge from patients to better inform treatment, and save lives.
Information saves lives. The IASLC is proud to partner on this truly collaborative effort, sharing data and perspective among doctors and care teams, patients, caregivers, Registry partners and all involved in conquering thoracic cancers.

What is the rake in bet?

Even a long-time player may ignore some very useful terms of online betting. One of them is "rake". It is how the huge profits of sportsbooks, internet casinos and poker occur, although there is a difference among the different type of gambling. The role of rake in betting does not seems important for the player in first place, because it basically he pays attention to what he is playing and not that he can be left exposed to high rake. But whoever ignores the rake, come out looser in the end

There are some basic strategy tips in online betting that should be followed, so that we won't have to face unpleasant situations and to get even closer to successful bet. Let's have a look:
(1) Firstly, with regard to the amount we are online betting, we should do it inside the limits of our economic statue and even better money we might have left over. We do not use vital funds and we should not borrow money, because it is more possible to end up anxious about how we will refund our borrower. It is the primary rule, which will prevent us from unpleasant situations, stress and much more.

Watching football matches via live streaming is the best way for having a clear view of football teams and know how they perform. Being in a stadium and watching live games is the most desired for every football fan. But we cannot be simultaneously in several matches.
Now, technology can provide this option. Possessing a computer and with basic knowledge of internet are more than enough to "travel" in various stadiums and watch whichever game interests you, in different sports as well. Others do that in order to have fun and some others for online gambling.

The technology is evolving rapidly and this has an impact in betting. One of the favorite habits of the players around the world is Live Betting and not unjustly. Monitoring an event and the opportunity of simultaneous betting raises the adrenaline and makes the game more exciting
Of course everything in life and in particular in betting, apart from the positive parameters it has negative too. Yes, it is exciting for everyone to bet "live" and has more options available, but there is a possibility to lose very easily money just in a second, only by a single click. The time pressure that it generates increase the error rate and this must be minimized as much as possible.

Handicap is very widespread in betting. Let's analyse all the available options of handicap that we usually find in different sportsbooks:
Handicap +2: If the team that we have chosen wins or draws or loses by a goal difference, we have won. If our team lost by two goals difference then the original wager is returned to us.
Handicap -2: If the team that we have chosen wins by three or more goals difference then we take the whole amount. If it won by two goals the original wager is returned to us.

The algorithm powering the Wild Streets app will feature a selection of carefully considered indicators. We strive to present users everywhere with greenery relevant to their specific urban setting – mirroring factors such as local climate and challenges including high pollution levels or risk of flood and reveal site conditions such as underground utilities to help users select the right trees and plants for the right place. Our data will navigate users through the human and ecological benefits of their amazing designs.
Did we forget something? Have you got some data that would improve our algorithm and make the Wild Streets user experience even better? Get in touch!
Wild Streets' data will be location specific meaning users will only be presented with plant and tree species that are scientifically proven to thrive in the given climate. This includes accounting for flora's tolerance of local conditions such as shade, drought waterlogging, as well as indigenous and native species, and even what locally extinct flora could be safely reintroduced.
People care about their health and happiness, and greenery has a rudimentary part in this – on our physical health via lower pollution levels and on our mental health due to the beneficial impact on stress levels. Emerging research is successfully demonstrating these and other derived benefits such as increased productivity.
Planting a tree depends on more than just the soil you plant it in. Digging a little deeper may reveal electric and fiber optic cables, drainage pipework, water, gas, fuel and heating pipes, or something as big as a tube system. Un-informed excavation can cause serious damage to underground utilities and can be an enormous safety hazard, and knowing their location is therefore essential for planners.
While many city dwellers appreciate green spaces, there is still little understanding of the social-ecological benefits that trees and plants provide such as flora's ability to purify polluted air by absorbing CO2, its function as a natural filter for polluted water, its ability to cool down our warming cities by shading and evopotranspiring, and the creation of shelter and food for local wildlife and pollinators.
Every city, neighborhood and street face a different set of challenges. These may change with the magnitude of people and cars, with climate, or external events. Never before have we been able to produce such detailed data, much of it in real-time, on pollution, temperatures, and rainfall. Powered by a 'challenge database' Wild Streets will enable truly sustainable urban greening.
Greenery and street fixtures are closely related design parameters for the urban space. Preferences to both are likely to vary across demographic groups and life situations; i.e., while public benches may be generally desired, their placement in areas with an older population may differ to other areas where they serve a more recreational purpose.
As with anything really, the urban forest is better when diverse. It reduces the risk of tree diseases and offers a large palette of ecosystem services. Our algorithm will take the existing population of trees into account in order to encourage diversity and avoid over planting a single species or cultivar. This is key to the design of a green city that works to reduce any site-conditioned challenges.
One of the biggest challenges facing urban greening projects is the vast differences in soil composition and properties across even small distances, determining what greenery can be planted where. Knowing what's under the city helps planners prioritize and lead to more sustainable solutions.
Confidence Index
While more ground than ever is covered on the Wild Streets indicators in cities across the world much is still to be done. In respect of expectation management, the app will provide a transparent picture of the data availability for any given location and offer a confidence index for the suitability of the tree and plant selection made available to the users.

A Simple Hearing Test Could Make a Big Difference in Your Life
There are lots of little things we can do, and if we actually do it, it has the potential to make a big difference in our lives. Show all offers enormous rewards. At least one hearing test is a simple and quick test that people need to think about doing on an annual basis. While it may seem less trivial than other tests designed to detect massive health threats, such as cancer or other chronic diseases, it is foolish to ignore the importance of periodic testing.
Taking this perspective can only cause problems in the long run, and it can be a much bigger problem than you think it can be in your life. It is easy for those of us who are deaf to ignore this problem as a minor problem, in fact, it is not a big issue, but the reality is that the consequences of hearing loss are often the end. On the one hand, although it is not always associated with the problem of deteriorating ear health, there are many cases where this problem can be caused by a very serious problem, such as a brain injury, which can completely change a person's life in very ugly ways. An auditory examination can help detect the progression of diseases such as meningitis and its early stages, and there is much more to be done to treat or cure it.
However, illness is not the only problem: as the condition progresses, you lose your ability to listen to others and engage in effective communication, and there are inevitable emotional and psychological consequences of a situation that you will surely avoid, even without the risk of illness. In such situations, people accumulate stress and their relationships begin to erode, leaving them with more social and emotional isolation. While this may seem exaggerated, this is what is happening now and has happened to countless people in the past, one of which is ugly in treating him as a serious illness. A simple hearing test and the determination to take action when faced with such a problem can prevent you or anyone else from achieving these serious and confusing conditions.
So the next time you think about the little things you can do to keep yourself healthy and happy, make sure you take into account the huge difference that a quick and easy hearing test can make in your life and in the lives of everyone you care about.
Common Symptoms of an Ear Infection Found in Adults
I learned early on that one of the signs of a child with an ear infection is when they pull it off. It is a kind of instinct, and you will only see it, without crying.
Adults are not usually present, so problem detection may be slightly different. Many things can cause ear pain, but how do you know if they are affected? There is an offer that gives you the best indicator: dizziness.
There is a sense of balance in the middle ear. Inflammatory pressure can disrupt the ear fluid and cause dizziness. This increases as the infection prolong and immediate care must be taken.
This dizziness is difficult and dangerous to drive, regardless of the risk of spreading it across the respiratory tract. Determining distance and direction is difficult, so if possible, someone else should drive for you.
When in the doctor's office, you may want to run the following recommendations. Here are some simple home remedies to help you recover faster:
Garlic: You can increase your intake of food or take supplements, but the beneficial antibiotic effect of this allium is beneficial. It has some interactions and side effects, especially with blood thinners.
Eucalyptus: The oil in this tree is very strong but very effective under the right conditions. The passages can be opened in the respiratory tract. You may wonder why it helps with an ear injury, but they are all connected. The elastase tubes connect your ears to your throat, thus the rest of the path.
There is a good reason I would recommend buying the products already made. Due to the strength of the oil, doing it yourself is harmful to you. It is important to note that it cannot be used or delivered to children under 2 years of age or to children under 6 years of age.
Sweet oil: Do not use this treatment without your doctor's full permission. When I was little, my mother was pouring sweet oil on my ears when she was hurt. Sweet oil is made from almonds and I can tell you that it completely eliminates pain. However, most doctors will tell you not to put anything smaller than your elbow on your ear, so be careful.
Ringing Ear or Tinnitus – Natural Treatment Methods
Tinnitus or tinnitus is a relatively common symptom that affects many people. It is important to understand that tinnitus is not really a disease or medical condition, but rather a symptom or problem of the underlying cause. There are many known causes of tinnitus and their severity varies from mild to moderate. There are also treatment options designed to eliminate disturbing and irritating symptoms that can affect the person involved throughout the day and even at night.
The term "ringing ear" is the most common way to describe tinnitus. Affected persons describe this feeling as hissing, ringing or high tone. This is mainly due to damage to the inner, middle or outer ear and projections such as small hairs in the ear serve as sensory receptors. Causes of tinnitus include severe noise and ear blockage due to side effects of certain medications, such as excessive ear waxing, pressure and anxiety, aspirin, colds, viral infections, aging, and more. Treatment may vary depending on the patient's condition. There are also innovative and advanced therapies designed to help people better manage tinnitus, such as tinnitus relapse therapy or TRT. Although this is one of the most promising treatment options to consider, the treatment can last anywhere from one to two years.
For those who want to try natural methods first in treating ear or tinnitus, it is better to determine the cause of the problem. It is highly recommended to consult an ENT doctor for an accurate diagnosis. If the cause of prolonged exposure to severe noise is secondary, it is best to avoid re-exposure to the same environment to prevent further damage to the ear. If tinnitus is a side effect of certain medications, it is advisable to take a doctor to adjust the dose or adjust the change in the selected drug. There are many more reasons to consider and the most effective in treatment or administration is either directly addressing the diagnosis or focusing more on the problem.
There are some cases of tinnitus or tinnitus with unknown causes. Prefer magnesium supplements preferably and preferably 500-1000 mg in addition to Ginkgo Biloba, which has properties that help increase blood flow. Some suggest adjusting to diet and lifestyle. Salty foods, plenty of dairy products and foods high in sugar; It is better to reduce certain types of foods, such as caffeine, tea, and alcohol. Processed foods, fatty foods, and foods high in saturated fat. It is best to follow a diet with high-quality proteins and increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Stress and anxiety are also called common causes of rhythm or tinnitus. In such cases, it is advisable for the patient to learn how to perform meditation exercises and relaxation techniques. People with a sedentary lifestyle should start with a system of exercises to relieve stress. Therapy focuses on health. Other recommended ways to treat stress and anxiety secondary to tinnitus are psychotherapy, yoga, and deep breathing exercises.

So, is 4 cups of Broccoli sprouts not good??
"It was volcanic", that was SO funny :) I'm still laughing.
Dr. Gregor, I find use of cups as a form of measurement too confusing to translate into scientific terms. Could you please translate 4 cups or 1.25 cups into ounces or grams? Thanks
Dr. Greger, I find the use of cups as a unit of measurement confusing and unsciencific. Could you rephase your references using grams or ounces please? Thank you! (So how many ounces or grams is 4 cups or 1.25 for that matter?)
Really? No, seriously … I mean it – Really ?
I've taken to eating raw broccoli, which has much more sulforaphane. So this upper limit would decrease to what value?
What do you make of Dr. Rhonda Patrick's method of increasing the Sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts X3.5? Is it safe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7buU-PK7_I
I'm soo glad for your sense of humour Dr Greger, Healthy with a smile. Great!!
So two full heads of steamed Broccoli a day is bad?
According to the research that Dr. Greger cited in this video post, 2 heads of broccoli is safe! – – nutrition professor and volunteer moderator, Martica Heaner, PhD
I just ate about 7 cups of broccoli I feel so bloated and have really bad stomach pain I don't recommend eating this much.
Based upon a chart in the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz4YVJ4aRfg., showing the glucosinolate precursor levels of the various cruciferous vegetables I calculate the upper limit Dr. Gregor is talking about here as 1285 mg glucosinolate precursor.
In a comment above he gives 70-80 g as equalling 2.5 cups of sprouts. This means 4 cups of sprouts equals 128 g (80 g ÷ 2.5 cups = 32 g per cup), and based on the table in the video cited above this equates to 1285 mg of glucosinolate precursor a day (128 g ÷ 28 g = 4.57 x 281 mg glucosinolates = 1285 mg). I personally eat raw Brussels sprouts, and this equates to 6 cups or 543 g of them (1285 ÷ 104 mg glucosinolates = 12 x 1/2 cup or 44 g). This is a little over a pound which is the size they usually come in, so don't eat more than a whole bag a day!
I agree with most comments saying this leaves an uncomfortable question mark on how much actual sulphoraphane is too much.
Rhonda Patrik talks about taking 100g-140g of broccoli sprouts per day, which according to her equates to 40-60mg of sulphoraphane. This is the dose used in many experiments on the effects of sulphoraphane and leads to all the improvements talked about when talking about sulphoraphane.
Are her calculations off?
Thank you in advance
Hi,I am so grateful to you all. I have switched to a whole plant based diet and believe it has saved my life.
My question is related to getting too much broccoli.
While trying to save time cooking: suppose that I bought broccoli in season, washed a huge bunch with salt water and then put it all through the blender in one big batch. Then waited for an hour, cooked it and froze it in little glass containers to pull out of the freezer on my rush to work and use year round.
Is it possible that having it wait that long (wait in frozen form for months…) would cause too much sulforaphane to be born? Could the same toxic effect of eating too much broccoli stumps be caused by having it wait in pureed or blended form for too long a time?
God bless you all
In other words is there a reason why Dr. Greger chops broccoli every morning and DOESN'T chop a big batch for a week's use in one chop to save time?
Is there any way to calculate how many milligrams of sulforaphane caused damage in the study? I find it odd that Dr. Greger opted to present the amount in terms of cups of broccoli/sprouts, when 4 cups of sprouts can mean very different things when you're sprouting for 2 days versus 5 days.
In the optimal sprouting time study, they found 3.38 mg of sulforaphane per gram of 2-day old sprouts. So I plan on eating 12 grams of sprouts every day for about 40 mg of sulforaphane. However, I also eat cruciferous vegetables in my meals, so a daily maximum milligrams of sulforaphane would be nice to know.
Hi! Im such a huge fan! Also a nutritionist from mexico city, and wanted to ask about broccoli and hypothiroidsm, i've read a lot about this, and that people with hypothiroidsm should'nt eat it, but i think that the benefit is so much better than the risk, what do you guys think?

Lenzing supports initiatives of private sector addressing UNFCCC climate conference in Katowice, Poland
- LENZING, Austria, Dec. 10, 2018 (Press Release) -
- Private sector addresses the UNFCCC conference urging greater collaboration
- WEF's open letter signed by 50 CEOs of major global business offer fast-track solutions
- Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action increases awareness along the whole value chain
- Lenzing Group changes from coal-fired boilers to gas-fired boilers in China
- REFIBRA technology of Lenzing Group one of leading circular business models
The Lenzing Group, producer of fibers from botanic origin, expands its environmental leadership commitment. It supports first-time initiatives of the private sector addressing the UNFCCC climate conference in Katowice, Poland, (COP24), where government leaders meet to review progress towards delivering on the goals set in Paris in 2015.
As a member of the World Economic Forum's Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders, Lenzing Group's CEO Stefan Doboczky signed the WEF's open letter to world government leaders urging greater collaboration to accelerate outcomes in the race against climate change. This letter was signed by the leaders of 50 major global businesses representing more than USD 1.5 trillion in total revenue.
"Business has an increasingly vital role to play in accelerating the shift to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy. This requires partnerships with other companies, governments at all levels and civil society. The Lenzing Group, as a leader in sustainability in the textile and nonwovens industries, is passionate about addressing the challenges the industries are facing and help meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement", says Lenzing's Chief Executive Officer Stefan Doboczky. "Together with our partners we are ready to facilitate fast-track solutions. One of these is the change from coal-fired to natural gas-fired boilers at our production facility in Nanjing, China. We have just started the transition."
The second initiative the Lenzing Group supports is the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action leading fashion brands, suppliers and other partners signed to recognize the crucial role that fashion plays on both sides of the climate equation – as a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and as a sector with multiple opportunities to reduce emissions by the targeted 30 percent while contributing to sustainable development. The charter was published in Katowice today under the auspices of UN Climate Change, supported by 43 heads of the fashion industry.
"To underpin the Fashion Industry Climate Charter the signatories will work together on topics like decarbonization of the production phase, selection of climate friendly and sustainable materials, low-carbon transport improved customer dialogue and awareness of all stakeholders as well as exploring circular business models", Robert van de Kerkhof, Chief Operating Officer of the Lenzing Group says. "The Lenzing Group is committed to taking leadership concerning the challenges our industry is facing and will reduce its CO2 emissions by 30 percent by 2030. One of the outstanding examples the Lenzing Group is already supporting is the REFIBRA technology, a circular business model which uses cotton scraps as a raw material for the production of a new virgin fiber."
These initiatives underpin the Lenzing Group's ambition to help greening up the textile and the nonwovens industries by extending collaboration with the partners in the industry.

Practices carrying out impressive, high-quality work owe it to themselves to present themselves in the best possible light. Architecture is no different from any other industry sector in that its practitioners can really benefit by having coherent branding and a strong visual identity.
"Even when a practice's work is really good, its image can be let down by a poor identity," points out David Tanguy, Creative Director of graphic design and branding consultancy Praline. "This can make it hard to be taken seriously by people coming to them fresh."
Given the amount of time and energy spent by practices on tenders and competitions, the overall message that a practice conveys in its branding should not be underestimated.
"Clients are more savvy about design now, and they will expect to see professionalism and attention to detail when it comes to your communications."
Tanguy believes the term 'branding' itself is overused and prefers to talk about 'visual identity'. This is something that can be used by architects to convey who they are, what they do, and how they work.
"In the creative world you have to think about how you are communicating: not just what you say but the visual language you are using to say it," he suggests. "This covers everything from fonts and words to images and photos: the overall impression they give."
Tanguy will be presenting 'Building Your Practice's Brand Recognition' at Guerrilla Tactics 2019: Understanding the Developer Mindset on 6 November 2019 at the RIBA, 66 Portland Place, London, W1B 1AD. Tickets are now available.
He recommends that any practice can make a start with the basics – choosing colours and a typeface to begin with – and evolving a visual language over time.
Establishing a visual identity does not have to be a major exercise and it need not be expensive, whether or not an external consultant is brought in. But it is important to put some thought into creating an identity that clearly reflects the personality of the business.
A practice's visual identity will be writ most large on its website. Here, first impression impact should never be underestimated. Tanguy believes a practice should begin developing its visual identity before it builds its website. Given the preponderance of social media, there are now many more reasons for a consistent visual identity.
Tanguy has worked with a number of practices, and the RIBA itself. One thing he has noted about many practices' branding is that it can sometimes play it too safe.
"Companies within the same sector tend to follow each other and have a similar approach to their brands," he states. "Architects are sometimes more conservative than most, even though they are all promoting their design skills."
Praline started working with AB Rogers Design, the interior design studio headed by the eponymous former head of interior design at the Royal College of Art, ten years ago, beginning by providing a logo and a colour palette. He then went on to develop a range of design templates that could be used across presentation materials and for all stationary.
Typefaces are obviously fundamental to a logo. Tanguy has recently been working on logos for two very different practices: one specialising in hospitality, one in conservation work. Considerations of type will be approached quite differently, to resonate with the associations and concerns associated with their respective sectors.
For Alison Brooks Architects, Praline took on a complete rebranding. The practice had decided to back away from its 'ABA' identity and return to using a full name. The exercise started by custom designing the characters for the logo. Alison Brooks now has its own unique typeface, which can be used across the board.
"The practice wanted something that would be strong and generous looking," Tanguy reveals. "As architects like details, we decided to carry on and design every letter."
He counsels practices to remember that there are two audiences for their visual identity: potential new recruits as well as clients. Young architects checking out a website to get a feel for a practice are likely to be even more impressed by a practice that knows how to project its design aesthetic.
Thanks to David Tanguy, Director, Praline.

I love "simple."
I can't do "simple" but I love it. (My failure at "simple" due, in part, to my obsessive self-questioning, such as the most recent, "Is it 'I can't do 'simple', or is it 'I can't do 'simple' myself'?" "And should the words 'simple' in the previous sentence have full quotation marks around them or just half?" You cannot do "simple" grappling with paralyzing conundrums like the foregoing. Nor can you use the word "conundrums." Or is it conundra? You see what I'm talking about?)
It's not that I automatically love things because I can't do them myself. (There, "myself" is necessary. Or is it? Yeah, it probably is. I'll tell ya, I can't imagine Hank Williams having these problems. Williams's best works were described as, "Three chords and the truth." I bet he never thought, "I wonder if I should slip another chord in there." He just stuck to the three and the rest is history.)
There are definitely things I cannot do myself that I don't love. Oregami, for example. I can't do oregami but that does not make me reflexively all gaga about it. I mean, oregami's fine, if you have time on your hands and an appropriately weighted sheet of paper. Now that I think of it, origami is also "simple". Demonstrating that within "simple", there lies a subsection of "simple" I care minimally about.
I never thought about that before. Look at that, a new insight! And you guys were there at its arrival. You know, we should all get together and talk about that. "Do you remember what you were doing when I my illuminating insight showed up?" That could be a crackling good conversation.
Now, before I spend the entire post on the extraneous "sidetrack" of "simple" – demonstrating if more evidence were required that I'm not – let me tell you about Maudie.
Maudie is unqualifiedly "simple."
And it's wonderful.
Let me also report that Maudie is the best film set in Nova Scotia I have ever seen in my life, and I have seen… another one. Goin' Down The Road. And Maudie's better than that one. Though Goin' Down The Road was not too shabby itself. Better than anything I've seen coming out of New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island, I can tell you. Or Ontario, for that matter, and they're supposed to be the English-language, cultural standard-bearers. And there's little Nova Scotia, beating it like the proverbial rug. And they've got coal there, to boot!
Maudie is the biographical depiction of Nova Scotia folk artist Maud Lewis, a physically-challenged (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) painter of her rustic, proximate surroundings – flowers, birds, a team of oxen – who becomes ultimately recognized enough to merit inclusion in the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and catch the enthusiasm of vice-president Richard M. Nixon. (Which triggered a glimmer of respect for the disgraced former president.)
Seeking an escape from the domination of her aunt/guardian, Maudie hooks up with a cold and unbending door-to-door fish peddler named Everett Lewis, insinuating herself into his one-room-and-a-sleeping-loft abode as his personal housekeeper.
The movie portrays Maudie's developing recognition as an artist, along with Maudie and Everett's unlikely relationship, which evolves eventually into marriage, although a demonstrably bumpy one. At one point, after a devastating argument, Everett reveals to his buddy/coworker,
"Well, she left me."
To which his knowing associate replies,
"What took her so long?"
That's an example of the pared-down authenticity of the exchanges matching, in its screenwriting predilection, the uncluttered clarity in Maudie's artwork. Another example:
Maudie and Everett deliver some post-card-sized paintings to a storekeeper who offers them for sale to the public. When the storekeeper dismissingly remarks, "My five year-old son can do that" the gruffly protective Everett shoots back, "Well, he didn't. Maud did. And you're an idiot."
One final example, because I like it:
Sharing a bed together ('cause there's only one bed in the cabin), Everett experiences some inevitable "stirrings", and as he is about to make his move, Maudie, responding with neither outrage nor trepidation instead calmly inquires,
"Are you going to do that?"
(Spoiler Alert: He doesn't. Maudie demanding a marital quid pro quo.)
Sally Hawkins, whom I have seen and enjoyed before, most particularly in Mike Leigh movies, is – yes, simple – but also credible and beguiling. Ethan Hawke is too pretty by half – no visible signs of tattoos or eye-threatening fish hook mishaps – but he's such a consummate actor you come to accept that this admirable physical specimen has not left Nova Scotia behind and traipsed off to Hollywood to find assured fame and fortune as a movie star.
Not to get too "criticky" about things, but Maudie's photography is frequently "too beautiful", clashing with the guileless unshowiness in Maudie's paintings. It's almost as if the Nova Scotia Chamber of Commerce said, "While you are filming the movie, could you make it so people will want to come here?" (My research reveals that Maudie was actually shot in Newfoundland and Labrador, so apparently they couldn't.) (Further research reveals the relocation was precipitated by the Nova Scotia provincial government's rescinding its subsidizing film credit program. Making me a big smarty-pants.)
Not all movies need to be Maudie.
But I am glad that, once in a blue moon, one of them is.
"Once in a blue moon." That's kind of how Maudie would put things. Whoa! Could I have possibly caught the "simplicity" bug?
But most likely, it will wear off.
Hey, at least I didn't say "dissipate."


text: Signed First Edition of The Prophet at Auction One of the highlights in our November 10 sale of 19th & 20th Century Literature is a scarce first edition of The Prophet, signed by its author, Kahlil Gibran, in the year of publication. Lot 133: Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet, signed first edition, New York, 1923. At auction November 10, 2016. Estimate $6,000 to $9,000. The Prophet is a collection of twenty-six prose poems delivered by the fictional prophet Almustafa. Since its 1923 publication, the book has sold over one hundred million copies, been translated into over forty languages, and has never been out of print. Though Gibran's first language was Arabic, he began writing in English after moving to New York City in 1911. The Prophet was his third attempt at a novel. Gibran created all of the illustrations in The Prophet, including the Christ-like frontispiece. Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet, first edition signed in the year of publication. This is the first time a signed first edition of The Prophet has appeared at auction. Interestingly, Gibran, the third best-selling poet of all time, signed the current book upside-down on the back page. The reason for this remains a mystery. Kahlil Gibran, Portrait of a Woman, watercolor and pencil, 1916.Sold November 15, 2012 for $40,000. In addition to illustrating his own books, Gibran also had a career as accomplished artist. His atmospheric paintings reflect the mysticism and spirituality present in his writing. Some of his works have crossed the block at Swann in the past, but this is the first time we have offered the work that made him famous. According to John D. Larson, Swann Galleries' 19th & 20th Century Literature Specialist, "Finding a first edition signed, in the year of publication, no less, counts as a genuine event, one not likely to reoccur anytime soon." Kahlil Gibran, Rape by a Centaur, watercolor and pencil, 1916. Sold March 8, 2012 for $22,800. More signed first editions of literary classics can be found in our full catalogue.

It has been a period of positive news for the local aerospace industry. There was the news that the 737 MAX was going to be built in the state and Boeing announcing its largest order in both dollar value and number of airplanes by Southwest Airlines. The airline ordered 208 737's, which includes 150 of the new 737 MAX planes. Down in Renton, Boeing recently organized a celebration for employees for reaching a production rate milestone – 35 jets every 20 work days. That marks a significant increase from 14 per month back in 2003, and major increases are still expected over the next few years to meet demand for the new jets. Scheduled rate increases are expected to bring production up to 38 jets per month by 2013 and to 42 by 2014.
At the state level, three bills were passed during the end of 2011 special session to support the industry. These bills focused on the aerospace industry's education and training needs and will better prepare Washington's young people to be the next generation of aerospace workers and engineers. The Washington Aerospace Partnership, which works to support and grow the aerospace cluster in Washington State, will be seeking additional legislation in 2012. Find out more here.
Local company Alaska Airlines topped the Wall Street Journal's Middle Seat scorecard this year. The Middle Seat scorecard ranks major carriers each year on a number of key measures important to travelers: on-time arrivals, long delays, canceled flights, mishandled bags, passengers bumped from flights and complaints filed with the Department of Transportation.
There are also a number of aerospace conferences coming up in the region for those interested. The 2012 Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance (PNAA) Aerospace Conference will be held from February 6-8 at the Lynnwood Convention Center. The Aerospace & Defense Supplier Summit will be held from March 12-15 at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center.

As we are all aware of the modern vehicles which have many sensors that turn on check engine light whenever your personal or home vehicle needs to repaired and diagnosed. The sensor readings are deeply monitored by vehicle computer. The diagnostic trouble codes are stored in the computer whenever it checks abnormal readings of the sensor. With the help of the automotive scan tools, you would be able to access these information's so that you can start diagnosing on the right side of your vehicle easily without any trouble.
They would work with a specific year, model and make of your vehicle. They would have variety of different features. How to choose an automotive scan tool depends on the type of tasks needs to be done, the vital features and price that you want.
Here is a start on how you can find an automotive scan tool. First, you should check your year of your vehicle, make and model. You would get these all information from the insurance policy, registration or a door sticker.
Next step would be the budget for you, how much you are willing to spend for this tool. The average price range is from 50 dollars to 400 dollars. The price is mainly depending on functions and features of the scan tool. If you are getting the more features, then surely the price would be higher and expensive.
Make sure you are keeping in mind the relationship between the features and the price and function, you are going to determine the functions and features you need. This is one of the most vital steps in how to choose best automotive scan tool.
You should ask yourself the follow questions. You want to check real time readings of sensors such as rpm, coolant temperature and so on or just want to read codes? Does a trilingual or bilingual option would help you in reading the codes? All you need an enhancement testing features for your vehicle or clearing the codes and turning off check engine light? Do you have any idea about display of the scan tool? You just want a display big in size to display code number or you need a big display so you would be able to see readings of sensor in dial, graph or meter? If yes, are you really interested in using your mobile device or PC as a scan tool? And you are required to read not only engine codes but also airbag or ABS codes for sure.
Once you find the answer to these questions, then you would be able to find the right one for you easily. Now you have selected various ones. You should compare each of them and check the price also. You should also check out the price on the online sites. They would have a great discount.
Though commercial level automotive scan tools would be expensive to install and need regular updates but they are vital in auto maintenance and repair.
So, if you are planning to buy an automotive scan tool, then you should go through all the above points.

I investigated the three bad SCR positions I had previously uncovered and discovered that in two of the cases, the issue was that the large flat contact surface (anode) didn't flow onto the PCB pad beneath, leaving the circuit open. Resoldering brought them into full operation.
Working through my big PCB, I began to check the continuity to the anode. Fortunately, the SCR type has a stub lead sticking out of the side between the cathode and gate, which I can reach with ohmmeter probes and check to see if the anode is connected to the lamp pin. I repaired several positions that had such faults and each worked perfectly after the fix.
I definitely had to repair the original SCR that is wrong, the one I tested with in my first attempt, since it won't fire until the voltage gets to an unacceptably high level on the input pin. I used my hot air rework gun to strip off the failed part and solder in a replacement. Voila, the board is now fully functional.
I am now bottlenecked waiting for the light bulbs to arrive from China. The boards are complete but I don't have enough bulbs to load onto the boards and install them into the 1130. When I solder each lamp on the header pins, I plan to encapsulate it in silicone which will prevent the wires from ever shorting together, as that would destroy an SCR.
I installed quite a few bulbs onto one of the boards and did a test fit to see how easily the could be fit into space without bending or damaging the lamps. The results were excellent, which implies that once I have all the bulbs on their headers and potted with silicone, placing the boards against the honeycomb will be easy.
|Bulbs on headers plugged into sockets on PCB, after test fitting into honeycomb
I worked on the testbed to check out my write cartridge code, since something is going wrong when I attempted to write an entire cartridge on the real disk drive. The logic stopped after the first sector was written and a flag bit indicated an overrun, where the writing FSM is still active when the next sector mark arrives.
I can't see any place that will write the overrun flag, so that must have been a false indication during my testing, something I misread. I concentrated on the logic that steps my transaction through writing the entire cartridge.
I don't see anything that should block the write from continuing sector by sector, so I set up for some testing, simulating the sector mark and disk status to allow my logic to run. I set up the scope to track key signals, the first of which is the WriteGate signal which defines the range of the write to an individual sector. If that is active long enough to run into the next sector mark (3.3 ms) then I may be experiencing overrun conditions.
I see the sector begin writing at the sector mark and the last word of zeroes is written at 3.168ms. The sector has over 160 us of free time before we reach the next sector mark. This reinforces my belief that we are not experiencing overruns when writing a sector.
I wondered whether I might start the next sector (sector 1) while in the midst of a sector mark interval (i.e. it was already logically 1 when I started looking for a sector match), but with the SM only 5 us long, it can't force us into an overrun situation.
I kept looking, focusing on what has to happen for the WriteEntireCartridge state machine to step through the entire cartridge sector by sector. I changed the diagnostic outputs to give me the data that will help pinpoint the cause of any problem.
We have a document of uncertain quality that was built by field engineering specialists back in the 7094 and 1401 era, listing a number of general market transistor types that are said to match an IBM transistor number. We were missing spare 028 and 036 transistors, but the chart gave us 'equivalents' as 2N1038 and 2N456. Those in turn are in equivalence tables to the NTE numbering scheme as NTE176 and NTE104.
Using the NTE numbers, we bought a few of each type to use in repairing the voltage regulator card for the extended memory frame of the Connecticut 1401 system. This card is a differential amplifier that compares the voltage being produced by the power supply to a reference value set on a small potentiometer. The difference signal is amplified by a chain of two transistors (028 and 036) and that drives the base current of the parallel 108 transistors that deliver up to 7A of the regulated voltage.
Normally we can test transistors for signs of death using a DMM, either looking at resistance across the various junctions or using the diode tester function. There should be a one-way path from emitter to base, and a one-way path from base to collector, of the appropriate polarity, but no path from emitter to collector.
That is true for silicon transistors, but germanium ones exhibit enough leakage current that they will slightly bias themselves on, passing current in one direction from emitter to collector even with no current supplied to the base. Further, if a transistor becomes weak, having too low an amplification factor, it will still test good on the DMM but fail to deliver enough current in the real circuit.
We suspect that is what has happened in the voltage regulator card (and a second known failed card which keeps the voltage lower than the first card, but still is not able to drive it down to the set target voltage. Our bad card will allow the voltage to exceed 40 volts, while this second card keeps it down to 33V. The target is 30V, which neither can maintain. Weak amplification would explain this.
I have a Peak Atlas DCA Pro DCA75 tester that will measure amplification, leakage and other factors. I will use that when checking out any suspect transistors.
