Top tips for the perfect dog walk
As we've stressed many times in the past, exercise is a great way of keeping a dog happy and calm. One of the best ways to do this? Regular walks around your neighborhood, or to your local park.
In fact, a dog walk is not only a way of exercising your dog (and by extension, calming them), it's also a chance for you to show that you're the leader of the household, as we'll explain below.
Tip #1: Assert yourself as the pack leader
By walking ahead of your dog during a walk, you send the message that you're in charge. And being in charge is an important part of dog ownership. As pack animals, dogs have a natural respect for hierarchy, but this needs to be reinforced. Use your time outdoors to lead calmly yet assertively with your dog trailing you, or at your side.
Tip #2: Decide when your dog gets to have some fun
Dogs instinctively want to sniff their surroundings and get a feel for the fauna and flora around them. But a dog that's dictating when she does this is exerting control over you. Use a leash attached to the top of the neck to enforce discipline, and when you're ready, let her have her fun. But remember, this shouldn't take up more than a few minutes of the walk.
Tip #3: Keep the leash short
The shorter the leash, the better. For one, it's a more tactile experience. It'll let you impart your authority more readily. Long leashes tend to invite a dog to wander freely, and it can be more difficult with a long leash to get your message across.
Tip #4: Consistency is key
Like people, dogs value routine. They need it to remain happy. Stick to a regular schedule: say, 45 minutes every day after work in the evening, or before work in the morning. A haphazard schedule only promotes anxiety, and leaves a dog wondering when she's going to get a chance to get outdoors. Trust us on this one: the same time day in day out will do wonders for both you and your pet.
Tip #5: Make sure you've got water
With thick fur coats and a paucity of ways to get rid of heat, dogs get hot fast. Make sure you've got good old fashioned H20 on hand to keep your animal hydrated. It's good for the mind and the body, so keep an eye out to see whether she's panting more than normal. That's a sure sign she needs a drop of water.
Tip #6: Make sure your dog is microchipped
It shouldn't happen, but every now and then the unthinkable does take place. To prevent losing your animal, have her microchipped. This will ensure that a passerby can take her to the nearest vet and have her taken home. It goes without saying, but make sure the information on the microchip is up to date. That is, she's not being sent to an outdated address.
Tip #7: Give her a reward after you're done
After a walk, feed her some food as a way of saying well done. It's not only necessary to replenish lost energy stores, it's also a way of imparting the message that you have to work for your food. Such a lesson works as well in the animal kingdom as it does in the real world. By equating exercise and good behavior with food, you'll ensure your dog views food as a necessary resource, not just an indulgence she's entitled to at all hours of the day. Plenty of exercise will also ensure that you keep the crippling effects of dog obesity at bay.

Pettisville got the best of a youthful and undermanned Swanton team, scoring in every inning in what equated to a 11-1 home win over Swanton in ACME baseball Thursday.
The Bulldogs, playing with just eight players which were mostly from their Junior ACME team, were even forced to have a two-man outfield. It resulted in a five-inning win for the Blackbirds.
Logan Rufenacht of Pettisville scored the game's first run after leading off the bottom of the first inning with a single. He moved to second on Josh Horning's sacrifice bunt, took third after an errant pickoff attempt from Swanton, and later scored on Tommy McWatters' groundout.
The Bulldogs had a golden opportunity in the next half inning as Blake Szalapski doubled to left and Garrett Swank followed with a bunt single which put runners on the corners with no outs. However, Pettisville pitcher Austin Horning responded with three straight strikeouts to retire the side.
The Blackbirds loaded the bases with one out in the home half of the second. A passed ball plated Devin Beltz, then after a strikeout, Rufenacht's two-run single put the score at 4-0 through two.
Swanton changed pitchers from Billy Nowakowski to Raymond Schad in the bottom of the third, but Pettisville took advantage of the young hurler. Austin Horning led off with a double to left-center, then McWatters singled and stole second. Brayden Barrett walked which would have loaded the bases, but the pitch was wild to score Austin Horning.
The Bulldogs then turned to Szalapski who would finish the game on the mound.
After his insertion, Pettisville scored two more on a pair of groundouts for a 7-0 lead.
Swanton would get one back in their half of the fourth. Szalapski got them going with a base hit and steal of second, while Swank's bloop hit put runners on the corners. The run came home on an errant pickoff throw to first, scoring Szalapski.
This made the margin 7-1, but two-run knocks from McWatters in the fourth and Rufenacht in the bottom of the fifth ended the game early by way of the run rule.
Austin Horning went the entire way to earn the win on the mound for the Blackbirds, allowing a run on four hits with five strikeouts. Nowakowski took the loss for Swanton.
Rufenacht paced the Blackbird offense, finishing 3 for 4 with four runs batted in. Szalapski was 2 for 2 and scored the Bulldogs' lone run.

This white label-ready, MLS-data-driven app is the best CMA tool you haven't heard of.
Have suggestions for products that you'd like to see reviewed by our real estate technology expert? Email Craig Rowe.
Virtual Properties is an app to perform and present comparative market analyses.
Platforms: iPad; browser
Ideal for: Tech-forward teams and brokerages.
Top selling points
- Designed to be white-labeled
- Live data feeds
- Highly detailed market stats
- Value to listing presentations
Top concerns
Many big brokerage and enterprise CRMs and marketing platforms come with CMA tools. Prospective users will want to weigh the benefits of white labeling the app.
What you should know
Virtual Properties is a CMA app designed specifically to be white-labeled by brokerages. That means it will look like an app your company developed, providing credibility from technology and customer service perspectives, and best of all, you don't have to pay (directly, anyway) to develop it or maintain it.
The software moves quickly, allowing agents to offer valuable market information in about four taps, starting with a slick Google Earth fly-in to the subject property.
Comps appear almost instantly in a left-hand, color-coded sidebar. Green indicates that a property is on the market, red is sold, grey is withdrawn, and brown is pending.
There are map views to scroll around the market for data, and a number of different charts and graphs to see every angle of it. There's even a cool scattergraph that depicts a wide-ranging of comp prices against the last few months of activity, including days on market, average price and other critical aspects that help consumers understand how homes are priced.
A big part of the app's value is its live pull of MLS data, which ensures buyers and sellers are up to speed on a fast moving market and that their agent is as prepared as possible to help them navigate it.
The app also helps agents show their prospects how their profit may shakeout after the sale. A pop-up window breaks down closing costs based on the recommended sale price and allows for custom line items and data input.
The software exports a lengthy, detailed PDF version of the CMA, easy to share via text or email, even on social platforms, should a CMA have any use in such an environment.
Agents can include a video introduction to their CMA form their device or upload a saved promotional video. It's a nice touch that helps take away the clinical nature of presenting a CMA.
Virtual Properties is best run on an Apple device, with the Android version somewhat limited in functionality. It probably looks best on a larger screen device, so consider bringing along an iPad.
Single licenses start at $500/month. And don't let the minimalist website fool you, as the company is deliberately low-key because of its under-the-radar white-label model. The company has been around since 1995.
- 10 agents or less: $2,500/MLS source and $300/month
- Up to 50 agents: $2,500/MLS source and $17.50/agent capped at $750/month
- Over 50 up to 100: $2,500/MLS source and $15/agent capped at $1,500/month
- Over 100 to 250: $2,500/MLS source and $12.50/agent capped at $3,000/month
- Over 250 to 500: $2,500/MLS source and $10/agent capped at $4,000/month
- Over 500: $2,500/MLS source and $7.50/agent
Overall, Virtual Properties is a straight-forward, easy-to-use app with nothing that would prevent an agent from getting up to speed quickly. Its white-label model is unique, and it can give your office a competitive advantage when you tell clients the next agent they're meeting with doesn't have this kind of live data-driven CMA software in their quiver.
Unless they beat you to it.

In 1986 our family attended a Christmas Dolphins show at sunrise.

Imaging technique offers novel way to monitor neurodegenerative disorders in live animal models of Parkinson's disease
Using a two-photon microscope capable of peering deep within living tissue, researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have found new evidence that alpha-synuclein protein build-up inside neurons causes them to not only become "leaky," but also to misfire due to calcium fluxes.
The findings – the first recorded in vivo using a transgenic mouse model of Parkinson's disease – are published in the July 18 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience and provide new insights into how Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders known as synucleinopathies work and progress at the cellular level.
Previous in vitro studies using cell cultures had suggested abnormal accumulation of alpha-synuclein dysregulated intracellular handling and movement of calcium, which is used as a signaling molecule and neurotransmitter. It was unclear, however, whether calcium alterations occurred in more complex, living animals.
"This is the first time we've been able to verify the role of alpha-synuclein aggregates in vivo," said senior author Eliezer Masliah, MD, professor of neurosciences and pathology.
"The aggregates affect the cell membrane of neurons, making them more porous. They also affect the membranes of organelles inside neurons, such as the mitochondria that are part of the cell's machinery for generating energy. Energy is necessary to pump calcium in and out of the cell. If mitochondria membranes are compromised, calcium accumulates, further damaging the neuron and causing it to misfire."
Masliah said the new revelations, made using imaging technologies developed by first author Anna Devor, PhD, associate adjunct professor of neuroscience, may help scientists and doctors quantify and repair neuronal damage caused by alpha-synuclein accumulation.
"We have already started to utilize this discovery as a bio-marker and reporter of neuronal damage," said Masliah. "We have compounds developed in collaboration with others to 'plug' the holes in the neurons and mitochondria and prevent the abnormal calcium currents. We can monitor in real-time in live animals how our drugs revert the toxic effects of alpha-synuclein. This represents a unique and fast strategy to evaluate novel compounds."

Mutating mice with oligos
The results reported by Vasquez et al. in the 20 October Science sound like a dream come true: the induction, after a simple injection of oligonucleotides into adult mice, of site-specific mutations (Science 2000, 290:530-533). The oligonucleotides are designed to form triple helices in polypurine regions with segments of mononucleotide repeats. The triple helix is thought to induce repair processes that often slip, producing short insertions or deletions near the site of the triple helix. Thus

Nykaa04 Feb 2020
OMI (Outdoor Media Integrated), the Outdoor Agency arm of Laqshya Media Group executed the much-required Impact campaign for NYKAA's Pink Friday Sale. The second edition sale of Nykaa experienced thundering success last year and, was expecting a 4-day sale to imply a 5x growth in order volumes and gross merchandise value since 2017.
Nykaa is the largest beauty retailer in India, with over 33% market share in India's online beauty market as per industry estimates and with this campaign, they were all set to acclaim their position of being the best and the largest, both. The Pink Friday Sale that brought amazing deals across categories like Makeup, Hair, Skin, Luxe, Personal Care, Naturals and so much more, was the event that needed the much-required Impact. OMI carved a media plan that guaranteed 100% OTS and also brought out life to the campaign. The Pink Sale visible as clutter branding at Bandra ROB ensures a distinct No-Miss visibility.
The gorgeous Pink creative looks stunning and captivating on the cluster sites. Each site has a distinct capability of grabbing eyeballs and together, they were an eye-treat for all!
The campaign ensured that it super imposes its brand image and the message to each and every one at the stretch.
Speaking on the campaign success, Mr Naresh Bhandari, COO, OMI, said, "The campaign planned on the sheer aim of creating the dominant impact was a challenge for us. The stretch was finalized as Bandra ROB considering that it is centrally located and caters to different segment of TG. Creating impact through cluster branding was difficult as the handpicked ones are a favourite asset for a lot of key brands. The team's efficient planning made all the difference and am proud of the efforts that has gone particularly in getting this stretch imposed with Nykaa's communication.
A big kudos to the team at Nykaa for believing in us and trusting our faith in getting them the much-required imagery for the campaign. The campaign has done wonders yet again to the overall sales figures during the 4-day sale period. The Campaign is a perfect example of how cluster branding successfully elevates the brand's image if done correctly and we are happy to have demonstrated that with this."

Import directory listing into WorkFlowy
Is there a way to turn a UNIX-like directory listing (or a Mac folder structure) into a WorkFlowy list? I suspect that it might involve an intermediary step such as converting the directory listing to OPML and then importing that.
Before I try to reinvent a wheel: does a way already exist to do that?

Florida Palm Coast boys sprint to 2nd place at track meet
PALM COAST -- Flagler Palm Coast kept on Gainesville Buchholz's tail all night, but the Bobcats' strength in distance races helped them to stay ahead and give the Bulldogs a second-place finish at the District 1-4A boys meet.
The Bulldogs were pacesetters in the sprints, placing 1-2 in two events and getting points in the 800- and 400-meter runs.
Team strength in the sprints was helped by the return of Tyler Cue, who missed Five Star Conference competition two weeks ago. He and Gilbert Absolu finished 1-2 to qualify for regions in both the 100 and 200 meters, and Turrel Mathews gave FPC sixth- and seventh-place finishes.
"I started to push myself to the limit so the team could at least stay close to Buchholz," said Cue, who came a shade short of his nationally ranked time in the 200.
Absolu said he fought through pain for his second-place finishes in both races.
"My hamstring's been kind of bothering me, but it felt good to finish second," he said.
Yeovanti Williams took second place in the 800 meters for FPC, and Bentlee Critcher was third in the 300-meter hurdles.
"It felt pretty good, even though I got cut off at the beginning," Williams said. "I just made it be a foot race at the end."
All three FPC boys relay teams made it through to regional competition, including a win in the 4x400 and a second-place effort in the 4x100.
The FPC girls had a tough meet, but sophomore Paige Way set a new personal mark to finish second in the 800 meters, getting nipped by a split-second in the stretch by Orange Park's Lauren Nygren. She also ran the second leg of FPC's second-place 4x400-meter relay team.
"I feel pretty amazed considering it's only the third time I've ever run it," Way said about her 800 finish.
FPC struggled in all the field events except the pole vault, where Five Star Conference champion Cory Soard won and Kadeem Williams took fourth with a personal record 11-6. Junior Jennifer Henry was fourth in the girls' pole vault.
"I missed at 14-1 going for the school record again," Soard said. "I can go 14 again, definitely. It's all about technique."
The FPC runners had some near-misses for qualifying spots at next week's Region 1-4A meet at Winter Park's Showalter Field. Mike Hymon took fifth in the 400, as did Diamond McIntosh in the girls' 400 and the girls' 4x100 relay team.

E-commerce is one of the world's largest industries these days. But, locally, the industry also happens to have the most satisfied employees in Southeast Asia. A study by iPrice Group says that despite having one of the lowest salaries, Filipinos are the second-most satisfied in the region.
iPrice gathered data to study the fairly new industry to see the gender diversity and job satisfaction rates among the top three e-commerce companies in seven countries in Asia. In terms of gender diversity, Hong Kong has the highest percentage of women in top level roles, while the Philippines ranked among the lowest at 39 percent. iPrice highlighted that—in a previous study—the Philippines had the most women in high positions in various industries.
For job satisfaction, Asians rated the companies fairly high with average to above-average scores. 50 percent said that they would recommend e-commerce companies to their friends, while CEOs had really high approval ratings ranging from 66 to 97 percent.
"[Filipinos] give their top 3 e-commerce companies a 3.8-star rating, while 76 percent of them would recommend the companies to friends, and 87 percent of them approve of their CEOs. It's quite interesting since the Philippines has one of the lowest recorded salaries (US$588/mo) among the seven countries, right after Vietnam (US$394/mo)," iPrice said.
Indonesia topped the job satisfaction rate study. According to data from Glassdoor, Indonesians gave the companies a 4.3 rating with high percentage scores for the workplace and CEOs.

Have you ever heard of a faculty pep-rally? Imagine receiving prizes, speeches of encouragement and even participating in bonding activities. This is what a Faculty Pre-Planning Conference looks like at Florida A&M University (FAMU).
For eight months, a team of innovative faculty members comes together to plan a three-day conference that focuses on the progression of students and the university. The conference is filled with policy and procedure workshops, keynote speakers and goal orientated meetings.
According to Mary Simmons, Ph.D., organizer of this year's conference, the Faculty Pre-Planning Conference is like a big teacher planning event that "addresses certain topics on campus, such as performance metrics and different things faculty need to be aware of."
"It is a big event for faculty to receive innovative ideas for teaching, updated info on resources that are available to faculty, staff, and students, and policies and procedures," Simmons explained.
According to Professor Kandy Woods, an instructor in the Division of Respiratory Therapy, though there were many meetings and note taking abounded, the conference managed to keep faculty members engaged and motivated, and encouraged them to intertwine technology throughout their activities.
A form of motivation used was "letting faculty know what goals were achieved [the] past academic year," Woods explained.
"There is also a period when we get to engage with other faculty members from different schools and colleges and share ideas," said Woods.
Simmons added that to keep the faculty uplifted and feeling appreciated on the first full day of the conference the president comes in to give his address to rally up the faculty.
"That's the excitement when you see your leader up there saying, 'I know what we need to do and we are all going to do it together,'" she continued.
Faculty and staff members are more than excited for the incoming school year. Interim Provost Rodner Wright also addressed the faculty and feels like this will be a progressive academic year.
"We are focused on rising to a new level of 'Excellence With Caring,' by not only meeting and exceeding the State's standards but also our own," Wright expressed.
According to Wright, "FAMU deserves to be ranked among the top overall institutions both nationally and within the state, and with this, in mind, we have set a vision for success, through the new 'FAMU Rising' strategic plan."
The Interim Provost showcased his passion and respect for FAMU's faculty, referring to them as "the heartbeat of FAMU."
"We are making every effort to invest in our faculty's success because we know that you are often the mentors, the encouragers, the role models, the educators, the shapers, and the molders that set our students on the right path to success," Wright said.
According to Simmons and Woods, this year's Faculty Pre-Planning Conference was reassurance of the innovative and impactful year that is ahead for FAMU and its faculty, staff, and students.

Few things can add to a backyard's ambiance like a water feature. From a simple pond to an elaborate waterfall, water features offer beauty, tranquility, and even a boost to wildlife and the environment.
In their simplest form, a water feature may consist of an easily installed, inexpensive preformed pond. Preformed ponds are manufactured from black plastic or fiberglass in a variety of sizes and shapes, typically 3 to 6 feet across and 12 to 18 inches deep, although sizes as large as 12 feet are available. Most preformed ponds are one-piece, but some of the larger ones come in sections that are assembled on site.
If you would like to give the appearance of an even larger pond but still stick with the simplicity of preformed units, consider placing two of them side by side and then concealing the intersection with a stone or wood bridge. Preformed watercourses, which mimic streams and allow for the water to drop and "gurgle," are also available for combining with the pond.
Preformed ponds are installed by first marking out and excavating a hole in the desired location, then adding a layer of sand to reinforce the bottom. Place the pond in the hole, carefully level it, then backfill around it. To complete the installation, place rocks or other landscaping materials around the perimeter to conceal the edge of the pond and give it a more natural appearance.
Lined ponds consist of an excavated hole that is covered with a special pond liner, and can be made in pretty much any size and shape. Lined ponds offer a lot more flexibility in design, both for the pond and any stream beds or waterfalls you would like to incorporate, and are also more suitable for fish and more extensive underwater plantings.
For a lined pond, the obvious starting point is the excavation. The desired layout is first marked on the ground – a garden hose makes a good flexible layout aid for designing and then marking the perimeter of the hole – then it is dug out to the desired depth. Most pond excavations have flat ledges, called plant shelves, at different depths all around the perimeter. These plant shelves allow for the placement of different types of plantings of varying heights, to create a beautiful, natural foliage design around the pond that also helps purify the water and create a better habitat for fish and wildlife.
After excavation, remove any rocks, sticks, and other debris, and then line the bottom of the hole with a couple of inches of sand. This is followed by some type of underlayment to protect the liner from possible punctures. Liner underlayments range from old newspaper and cardboard to scrap carpeting to specially formulated liner underlays, but whatever your choice it's important that this cushioning layer be put down prior to installation of the liner.
A pond liner is a heavy, black rubberized membrane that is specially designed and manufactured for this purpose. Do not use plastic sheathing, swimming pool liners, or other materials for your pond liner, as they are easily damaged and can be susceptible to degradation by sunlight and freezing temperatures.
The liner should be ordered after the pond excavation is complete. Liner size is calculated based on the width, length and depth of the excavation, the size and number of plant shelves, and the amount of edge overhang, so the sizing will be more accurate if done after the excavation is complete.
With a couple of people helping, the liner is unfolded into the excavation and allowed to warm in the sun, making it more flexible. The liner is then smoothed into place from the bottom up, and is lapped over the top edge of the pond 6 to 12 inches. A small amount of water is typically added to the bottom of the pond to weigh the liner down and help with the smoothing process. Folds in the liner, which will be necessary to help it conform to the curves of the pond sides, are incorporated as the liner is smoothed out.
Water is gradually added to work the liner into place, then the liner is usually allowed to sit for a day or two to complete any stretching and settling. An edge cap is then added over the top edge of the liner, both to hold it in place and to conceal the top edge. Depending on the overall design of the pond, this cap may be concrete, stone, brick, or similar materials, and may also incorporate a streambed or waterfall running into the pond from a higher elevation.
To oxygenate the pond and prevent it from becoming stagnant, a submersible pump is typically used to circulate water, and may also power a water flow over the streambed or even for a fountain. Depending on the size of the pond, a filter and even a skimmer may also be incorporated.
For best results, pond design and construction should mimic or at least coordinate with local nature, from rocks to plants. Many retailers of gardening supplies, patio furnishings, and other outdoor items now offer liners, pumps, and all the other pond-making supplies you'll need, along with design assistance, complete instructions and even hands-on pond-making classes. If you don't want to undertake the project yourself, many landscaping contractors also offer water feature construction services.

U.S. carrier AT&T today announced that it will be exclusively carrying the Nitro HD smartphone from LG beginning this coming Sunday, December 4. It files as their first Android device with a native 720p display and their third 4G LTE handset (the other two being the Vivid from HTC and the Galaxy S II Skyrocket from Samsung). LG scheduled an 'exclusive launch event' for this coming Thursday and the Nitro HD is expected to take center stage at the event.
The 4.5-inch Nitro HD packs in a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, supports GSM HSPA+ and 4G LTE radio technologies, and has an eight megapixel back camera, HD content streaming via DLNA and more. Senior vice president Jeff Bradley said Nitro HD "is the one that does [a true HD experience on Anroid phones] right", boasting its True HD AH-IPS capabilities.
AH-IPS is an acronym for Advanced High-Performance In-Plane Switching, a proprietary LG technology for a 1280-by-720 pixel resolution phone display with 500 nit display luminance that allows for clear viewing in direct sunlight. Additionally, RGB stripe pixels "deliver incredibly accurate true-to-life color rendering".
AT&T recently took its 4G LTE network to fifteen new markets and plans on reaching 70 million Americans with 4G LTE by the end of this year. The Nitro HD will be available from the carrier's retail and online stores for $249.99 after a two-year service contract. Full release after the break.

Vitamin D is often called the "sunshine vitamin" because our bodies can make vitamin D when sunlight contacts the skin. During our dark winter months, many Alaskans are getting very little (if any) vitamin D from sunlight exposure, so we need to think about getting the vitamin through foods and supplements. Vitamin D is important for strong bones and may contribute to overall good health.
"Eating healthy foods is always the best option", says Diane Peck, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with the Alaska Section of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. "Healthy foods provide so many more nutrients and other benefits that aren't found in supplements. But for many people in Alaska, taking a vitamin D supplement along with a healthy diet may be appropriate."
Lucky for us, some of the foods with the most vitamin D are found in Alaska. Traditional diets protected Alaska Native people during the long, dark winter. Salmon — fresh, canned or smoked — is an excellent source of vitamin D. Marine mammals, fish oil and seal oil contain large amounts of vitamin D. Oysters, shrimp, halibut, flounder, and rock fish are good sources, too.
Other foods that contain vitamin D include tuna fish, cod liver oil, egg yolks, and some mushrooms. Vitamin D has also been added to many foods. Look for the words "vitamin D fortified" on packages of milk, soymilk, yogurt, orange juice, oatmeal, and ready-to-eat cereals. For a list of foods and their vitamin D content, see the U.S. Dietary Guidelines.
• Older adults may not produce vitamin D as well as younger people.
• Breastfeeding is the best choice for the health of infants, but breast milk can be low in vitamin D.

Food Security and Leukocyte Telomere Length in Adult Americans
Background and Purpose. Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a biomarker of biologic age. Whether food security status modulates LTL is still unknown. We investigated the association between food security and LTL in participants of the 1999–2002 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Methods. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to evaluate the association between food security categories and LTL controlling for sex, race, and education and accounting for the survey design and sample weights. Results. We included 10,888 participants with 5228 (48.0%) being men. They were aged on average 44.1 years. In all, 2362 (21.7%) had less than high school, 2787 (25.6%) had achieved high school, while 5705 (52.5%) had done more than high school. In sex-, race-, and education-adjusted ANCOVA, average LTL (T/S ratio) for participants with high food security versus those with marginal, low, or very low food security was 1.32 versus 1.20 for the age group 25–35 years and 1.26 versus 1.11 for the 35–45 years, (). Conclusion. The association between food insecurity and LTL shortening in young adults suggest that some of the future effects of food insecurity on chronic disease risk in this population could be mediated by telomere shortening.
1. Introduction
Food security is defined in the State of Food Insecurity in the World 2001 as a situation that "exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life" [1]. There is an emerging evidence suggesting an association between food security and chronic disease occurrences such as cardiovascular and diabetes [2–5]. Telomeres are guanine-rich sequence (TTAGGG) that play active role in the control of cellular lifespan and chromosome integrity in eukaryote cells [6]. Accelerated telomere shortening might be the consequence of increased exposure to oxidative stress and inflammation [7]. Available evidence suggests that short leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is linked with an increased risk for various noncommunicable diseases [8], as well as aging.
Studies have reported an effect of diet composition on DNA telomere length (TL) [6]. Mediterranean diet which is made up predominantly of vegetables, fruits, grains, fish, monounsaturated fatty acids, and dairy products has been reported to have a protective effect on telomere length [9], while diet rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, through inflammation promoting effect, may accelerate telomere shortening [10]. However, the association between food security and telomere length has yet to be explored. Food security as assessed in national surveys can be considered as a practical tool to evaluate food availability in relation with diseases risk. Hence, we aimed to determine the association between food security and LTL among adult Americans who participated in the Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during 1999 to 2002.
2. Methods
In NHANES cross-sectional surveys, conducted periodically by the US National Centre for Health Statistics (NCHS), participants are visited at home by trained workers to collect data on their demographic characteristics and behaviours, by administering a survey questionnaire [11]. Then mobile examination units are used to conduct physical and paraclinical examination, as well as collecting biological specimens for laboratory analyses. NHANES' protocol is approved by the NCHS Research Ethics Review Board, and informed consent was obtained from all the participants [12, 13]. LTL was measured from purified DNA isolated from whole blood, using the Puregene (D-50 K) kit protocol (Gentra Systems, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota). The quantitative polymerase chain reaction method was then used to measure LTL relative to standard reference DNA [also known as the telomere-to-single copy gene (T/S) ratio] [13–15]. A validated questionnaire developed by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) was used to assess income-related household food security over the prior 12 months [16]. Using validated cut points, we categorized participants as (a) adult full food security (no affirmative response in any of these items), (b) adult marginal food security (1-2 affirmative responses), (c) adult low food security (3–5 affirmative responses), and (d) adult very low food security (6–10 affirmative responses) [16]. For data analysis, we followed the guidelines defined by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention for NHANES datasets, taking into consideration the masked variance and weighting scheme [13, 17]. Sex-, education-, and the race-adjusted mean LTL was compared across categories of food security (high food security versus marginal, low, or very low food security) using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). All tests were two-sided, and statistically significant results were considered at .
3. Results
The 10,888 participants included 5226 (48.0%) men, 7665 (70.4%) non-Hispanic Whites, 1186 (10.9%) non-Hispanic Blacks, 751 (6.9%) Mexican-Americans, 775 (7.1%) other Hispanic ethnicity, and 511 (4.7%) participants from other ethnic groups (Table 1). The mean age was 47.0 (standard error of the mean = 0.3), with a marginal difference between men and women (47.5 versus 46.6 years, ). Overall, 2362 (21.7%) participants had less than high school education, 2787 (25.6%) had high school education, and 5705 (52.5%) had more than high school education. Sex-, race-, and education-adjusted mean LTL (T/S ratio) was longer in participants with high food security compared to those with low food security (marginal + low + very low) just in two age categories: [25–35] years (1.32 versus 1.20) and [35–45] years (1.26 versus 1.11), both (Table 2). There was no significant difference within other age categories (all ).
4. Discussion
Participants with higher food security status in the current study, particularly at their younger age, had longer LTL. Epidemiological studies have reported an inverse association between dietary vitamin and mineral consumption with oxidative stress [18], which suggests that dietary micronutrients may exert protective effects on telomere length through antioxidative effects. It has been proposed that the high cost of nutrient dense healthy foods, particularly lean meats, milk, and dairy products, may limit the ability of the poorer segments of the population to consume them [2]. For instance, it has been reported that food insecurity could trigger the intake of low-cost high-energy dense foods, which also tend to have high sodium content [19, 20]. Food insecurity has also been associated with lower quantity and less variety of fruits and vegetable (main source of several phytochemicals including α-tocopherol, retinol and β-carotene, and vitamins) consumption [21]. We can speculate that our findings reflect the reverse association between lower food security and higher intake of the fruit and vegetable (the main source of the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant in diet) [21]. A recent study in Japan also reported a positive association between buccal TL and daily intake of antioxidant vitamins including lycopene, phenolics, favonoids, resveratrol, phloridzin, and pectin [22]. In the same line, we have recently reported that participants with higher intake of mineral and vitamin consumption have longer TL [23]. In most Western countries, including US and Canada, fresh fruits and vegetables as the indicators of quality food are not accessible to low-income families [24–26].
Food insecure individuals may not benefit from the anti-inflammatory properties of antioxidants due to low consumption of their food sources. Several potential mechanisms have been proposed for a positive association between antioxidant levels and TL. In vitro and in vivo studies have reported that lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin C prevent DNA breakage and modulate DNA repair through their antioxidative activity [27, 28]. Other proposed mechanisms, particularly for the protective effect of lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin C, include their effects on immune modulation, anti-inflammatory activity, modulation of apoptosis, and lymphocyte proliferation [28, 29].
The link between chronic disease and food security status has been recently reported [2]. Life course stage, chronic stress, and food environment are considered as the main moderators of metabolic disturbance leading to chronic diseases [24]. The quality of food and stress from lack of food and hunger within the household can trigger a cascade of stress hormones and create a metabolic imbalance, ultimately resulting in chronic metabolic diseases such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes. The association between food security and TL may, in part, explain why food insecure individuals are more prone to chronic diseases.
The findings from the current study should be considered in the context of some limitations. The cross-sectional nature does not allow inference about causality. We did not have data on repeated measures of TL in the same participants over time to elucidate temporality of these findings.
The link between food security and LTL in young participants in our sample may indicate the potential of this biomarker in predicting the future occurrence of nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases. Many people build up chronic disease risk during childhood and early adulthood. The observed associations between food security and LTL strengthen the growing evidence that food insecurity may be a determinant of poor overall health and propensity to chronic diseases considering the importance of telomere length maintenance in preventing noncommunicable diseases.

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) The U.S. will reach its target this week of taking in 10,000 Syrian war refugees in a year-old resettlement program, the U.S. ambassador to Jordan said Sunday, after meeting families headed to California and Virginia.
The resettlement program has emerged as an issue in the U.S. presidential campaign, with Republican nominee Donald Trump alleging displaced Syrians pose a potential security threat.
Alice Wells, the U.S. ambassador to Jordan, said Sunday that keeping Americans safe and taking in some of the world"s most vulnerable people are not mutually exclusive.
"Refugees are the most thoroughly screened category of travelers to the United States, and Syrian refugees are subject to even greater scrutiny," she said.
Wells said the target of resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees in the U.S. in the 2016 fiscal year will be reached Monday, as several hundred Syrians depart from Jordan over 24 hours.
The Jouriyeh family, which attended Sunday"s short ceremony, is headed to San Diego, California.
Nadim Fawzi Jouriyeh, 49, a former construction worker from the war-ravaged Syrian city of Homs, said he feels "fear and joy, fear of the unknown and our new lives, but great joy for our children"s lives and future."
Jouriyeh, who suffers from heart problems, will be traveling with his wife, Rajaa, 42, and their four children. Their oldest son, 14-year-old Mohammed, said he is eager to sign up for school in San Diego and hopes to study medicine one day.
The resettlement program focuses on the most vulnerable refugees, including those who were subjected to violence or torture or are sick.
Close to 5 million Syrians have fled civil war since 2011. Most struggle to survive in tough conditions in neighboring countries, including Jordan, which hosts close to 660,000 Syrian refugees.
Only a small percentage of Syrian refugees have been resettled to third countries. Instead, donor countries are trying to invest more in job creation and education for refugees in regional host countries to encourage them to stay there instead of moving onward, including to Europe.
Wells said the U.S. has taken in more refugees from around the world over the years than all other nations combined.
