Kim Andersen, President of World Sailing said, "The 2017 Para World Sailing Championships is a pivotal event for World Sailing to demonstrate to the International Paralympic Committee the strides we have taken to develop and enhance Para World Sailing.
"Positive steps have been taken since the sport was removed from the 2020 Paralympic Sports Programme and we continue to work closely with the athletes, our members, classes and the media to push for reinstatement in 2024 and continuity beyond.
"Kiel have a long running history of delivering exceptional sailing events and through our combined efforts and with the support of our partners we aim to deliver record attendance at a Para World Sailing event."
On the selection of Kiel, Massimo Dighe, Para World Sailing Manager, added, "All four bids received for the 2017 Para World Sailing Championships were excellent and this highlighted the significance and importance of the event.
"The decision of the Para World Sailing Committee to select Kiel as host venue for 2017 is a great occasion for the sport, being a part of a big event like Kieler-Woche, that every year grabs the interest of sailors and attention of the media around the world is really important.
"World Sailing will start to work with the organisers immediately to ensure that the event is a success and showcases the progression of Para World Sailing."
Dirk Ramhorst, Event Chairman of Kieler Woche said, "We are proud and happy to host the Para World Sailing Championships 2017 in Kiel within the Kieler Woche. We will make sure that this event will contribute to the return of sailing in the Paralympic Games in 2024.
"Inclusion of disabled sailing has always been an integral part of the Kieler-Woche portfolio. The city of Kiel and the state of Schleswig-Holstein have invested significantly in the recent years to make the venue and harbour of Kiel Schilksee fully wheelchair friendly. I am personally looking forward to welcoming all Para World Sailors in Kiel next year."

KATE MAGDALENA
Kate Magdalena is an independent singer-songwriter out of New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area, whose songs have been aired on country radio nationally. Most at home in folk-pop and adult contemporary, she calls her genre 'Timely Americana', as she is inspired to write for the particular times in which we live. Kate was selected by BWH Music (Boston) as one of 2020 Women to Watch: Best Female Independent Artists, and her recent album "The Water Is Wide" was just awarded Best Album in the Adult Contemporary genre in the 2020 W.A.M. Awards. The album, released in August 2020, contains 9 songs of water and land, including the iconic covers "Downtown" and "I Know A Heartache When I See One," as well as several original songs crafted from well-loved poems like "The Waking," (nominated for Best Song, Social Justice 2020 W.A.M.) "Sea Fever," and "Cloths of Heaven." On this album is also Magdalena's song "Backstory" about some of what we are witnessing now; the song was nominated for a W.A.M. Award in the social justice category.
For fans who have never heard your music, can you pick three words to describe it?! If three words just aren't enough then tell us more! Rich, soulful, provocative. I write music to inspire, heal, and awaken. I am particularly moved by Celtic music, but my genre is somewhere between Americana and country.
When you are writing a song, where do you draw inspiration from? Or what topics do you like to sing about?
I wish I knew that. Inspiration is a most fleeting creature, and of course must be captured when it arises. In the past few months honestly I have not been as inspired as usual to write. But I draw on my notebooks, my journals, and current events bringing about songs that must be heard. I also just might get inspired by a bed, a groove, or the work of another artist, or even poet. I have put many poems to music. On this particular album, there are three poem songs.
I enjoy reading, playing music, planting flowers, and bringing my country back to its independence and freedom.
Can you tell us what song you've written that is the most emotional and describe the meaning behind it? Or is there a song that means a lot to you that you can describe for us?
The most emotional song I have ever written is My song for the homeless, #StreetsOfAnyTown. BWH Music has already released this song on one of their radio shows. This song came to me as an inspiration when I was visiting Nashville for the first time. I had an encounter with a homeless man, and the next morning the title was there, the streets of any town. The song followed like a river flowing through me. It was one of the most joyous experiences of my life.
What was the first song or piece you ever wrote!? The first song I ever wrote is one that's actually on my first album, and it's called #StarsWhenYouAreOld. You can hear it on Spotify, and it's quite a beautiful song actually. I wrote it just singing through a poem by WB Yeats, and then finally recorded about 10 years afterwards. The poem by eights is called #WhenYouAreOld.
What is your dream gig? Is there a gig that you really want that would be the ultimate show for you?
Oh there really is, I have in my mind large audiences, thousands of people and singing opening a show for a big artist. With a wonderful band put together by the great musicians that my producer knows in Nashville. But now with the current situation, those remain dreams only.
After the release of this album #TheWaterIsWide, I released a Christmas LP with six Christmas carols, and then next year we are working toward the release of yet another album. I'm hoping to get back to Nashville, to complete the recordings. But that remains in the hands of something larger than myself. I'm also working on a new song right now, but I just love called #GreenUponGreen. It's about the seed in your heart finally coming into balance with life, and the land of Ireland.

Treehouses: the height of architecture?

The minimalism and natural cohesion of the treehouse can teach us how to live more sustainably, says a UNSW expert.

As kids, everyone dreams of building a treehouse. And while we may not all go on to make one, for those who do, there's more to be gained than a kids' hideaway in a tree.
Dr Ainslie Murray, UNSW Built Environment, says the treehouse is a reflection of our relationship with place and with nature.
"It is a distilled expression of how you live," she says. "In building the treehouse, you're working with the natural world, you're working with the specific tree, and it makes that connection quite explicit."
Dr Murray says the treehouse could be considered a legitimate form of architecture and is an expression of our values.
"The treehouse is very minimal condition architecture, which is contrary to the other things that we tend to build," she says. "Usually, it's not insulated, it's probably not waterproofed, there aren't a lot of particular comforts built in. But there's just enough there to mark a sense of place in the natural world.
"There's also a sense of retreat and reduction in terms of how you occupy that space. I think it also says quite a lot about how we might be in the world, how we might minimise our impact, how we might think about living more sustainably."
Architecture branches out
While the structure of the treehouse often receives more attention, the most important aspect, of course, is the tree itself.
"It does have a direct impact on the kind of architecture that you can produce in a treehouse," she says.
"The house itself is dependent upon the tree … and the tree plays an active part in the design process. You're not just merely attaching something to a tree, you're reading the tree and reading the place, and the design evolves at every point."

Dr Murray says it's the experience of constructing the treehouse that is the most enjoyable and valuable.
"You can't outsource the building of the treehouse in my view – participation is essential – and you can't replace the value of that," she says. "It's part of the delight, part of the adventure – it's meant to be experimental and exciting."
Building a treehouse offers the benefit of thinking about design in a new way, she says.
"You're learning as you're building," she says. "You can't necessarily follow a plan or a predictable design process, and you're not always in complete control of what happens, and that's quite liberating."
Channelling your inner architect
Dr Murray says building a treehouse is an empowering exercise.
"Part of the delight, part of the adventure is that you're not relying on the expert knowledge of others, you're the expert," she says. "You know exactly what you want out of your treehouse, and you don't need to be a professional architect to make it."
The treehouse is an example of the growing citizen architecture movement, shifting the power of design into the hands of individuals in society, she says.
"It does recast the role of the architect in many ways," she says. "I think it acknowledges the expertise of people in living and in life to be able to make decisions about space and how they want to interact with it."

And the good news, according to Dr Murray, is that treehouses aren't only for kids.
"For kids, it's a space of experimentation for them to learn through active play, act out patterns of life, and perhaps forge some of their ideas about how they're going to inhabit a place and live in space.
"But adults might use it as a space of retreat, a space of tranquillity and escape," she says. "Probably because they're exhausted from building it!"
A home among the gumtrees
In addition to the backyard treehouse, Dr Murray says treehouse-inspired designs are also experiencing a resurgence in the architecture field. However, whether they're an evolution of the treehouse is still up for debate.
"A lot of architects today are producing very high-end contemporary treehouses marketed as exclusive luxury retreats, which are more like houses in the trees on elevated platforms," she says.
"I see the traditional treehouse as something that is custom made and always in response to place. While it would be beautiful to be in a space elevated amongst the trees, the fact that you can reproduce the same design does make it quite different to the one-off character that I think defines a treehouse."
While it would no doubt be exciting, Dr Murray says we shouldn't expect treehouses to become a genuine housing option anytime soon.
"The big issue would be an ethical one," she says. "Many people would consider it an injustice to the natural world to create extensive engineering dependencies on trees to that scale."

On February 22nd, 2017, through a press release, NASA reveals a historic discovery concerning the existence of new exoplanetary system, called TRAPPIST-1, which hosts seven planets, comparable in size and mass with Earth; three of them being located in the habitable zone, the most likely to have liquid water. The super-cool dwarf star, located at about 40 light years away from Earth, is being named after the TRAPPIST mission – Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescopes.
"One light year means about nine trillion kilometers, i.e at one milliard add three more zeroes. At the moment we cannot perceive yet to cover such a distance with human capabilities. Perhaps, it is necessary a paradigm shift, a change of perception, which will allow us, hopefully in a near future, to see how we could access these stars", says President of the Romanian Space Agency (ROSA), Dr. Marius-Ioan Piso, in an interview accorded at Radio France International (RFI).
The observations began at the end of 2015, when a team of astronomers from University of Liege, Belgium, decoded the data acquired with the Liege telescope TRAPPIST-Sud, located in Chile. Further ongoing observations have implied more telescopes on-ground (TRAPPIST-Nord in Morocco, UK Infrared Telescope – UKIRT in Hawaii, William Herschel and Liverpool telescopes in La Palma, and the South African Astronomical Observatory telescope) and the NASA's Spitzer space telescope.
"In order to detail the atmospheric composition, or the structure of the rock of those planets, we may need perhaps a decade from now on", says scientific researcher at the Institute of Space Science (ISS), Dr. Gina Isar, in an interview accorded at Antena 1 Observator TV.
However, NASA has made the reveal that seven planets revolve around TRAPPIST-1, through long and dedicated observations of better precision with the Spitzer space telescope. The remarkable results were recently published in Nature, which conclude that: "The TRAPPIST-1 system represents a unique opportunity to thoroughly characterize temperature Earth-like planets that are orbiting a much cooler and smaller star than the Sun" [Gillon, M. et al. Nature, 2017].
The TRAPPIST telescopes are part of a wider project called SPECULOOS – Search for habitable Planets EClipsing Ultra-cOOl Stars, which aims to detect more systems of this type, with four new telescopes in Chile.
Further observations will continue with new performant telescopes, both on ground and in space.

'Christianity in America Won't Survive Another Decade'
Plus: The GOP's evangelical erosion, political Pentecostals, a bunch of commas, and other stories from online sources around the world.
Compiled by Ted OlsenOctober 6, 2006
Today's top five
1.Ron Luce makes The New York Times front page
Just as Jesus Camp and Righteous are provoking fear nationwide that a bunch of freaky theocrat kids are being trained to take over the country, along comes a New York Times front page story covering Ron Luce and his claim that "Christianity in America won't survive another decade." (Actually, that quote doesn't appear in the Times, but it's the bold print in Luce's ads, which bear the National Association of Evangelicals' imprimatur. Haven't seen the ads? Subscribe to CT, you naughty freeloader.)
"I'm looking at the data," Luce tells the paper, "and we've become post-Christian America, like post-Christian Europe. We've been working as hard as we know how to work — everyone in youth ministry is working hard — but we're losing."
Luce's "data" is his much quoted claim that only 4 percent of teenagers will be "Bible-believing Christians" (or, in his ads, "evangelical believers") as adults. The Times rightly calls the claim, first promoted by Barna Research, "highly suspect" and notes that it has been questioned by Group magazine and others. Among them, Christian Smith, whose landmark book Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers won a Christianity Todaybook award this year.
"A lot of the goals [of the new evangelical youth campaign] I'm very supportive of," Smith said, "but it just kills me that it's framed in such apocalyptic terms that couldn't possibly hold up under half a second of scrutiny. It's just self-defeating."
We wish we could hear the reaction to the article at the National Youth Workers Convention in Austin this week. But somebloggers involved in youth ministry are criticizing Luce as a fearmonger. New Testament ...

Utilizing the Fibonacci retracement apparatus demonstrates the close term bolster levels where purchasers may pause.
Tron Price is amidst a pullback from its ongoing surge higher, and purchasers may hold up at the Fib retracement levels.
The 100 SMA is still underneath the more extended term 200 SMA to flag that the easiest course of action is to the drawback. At the end of the day, there's as yet a possibility for the selloff to continue from here. The 200 SMA seems to have held as unique opposition and might keep on doing so.

Stochastic is additionally moving south to mirror the nearness of offering weight, however, is as of now plunging into the oversold area to flag weariness.
All things considered, bulls could grab the chance to get the move at any of the Fib levels. Tron Price is as of now testing the half Fib yet may be expected for a more profound pullback to the 61.8% Fib nearer to the 100 SMA dynamic enunciation point. In the event that any of these keep misfortunes under control, Tron Price could continue the move to the swing high and past.

Q: How can I suspend the working of an NSFetchedResultsController? I have a UITableViewController fed by an NSFetchedResultsController.  From it, the user can call up a modal ViewController in which he or she can enter new data.  As this begins, I create a temporary object as follows:
newPtr = [[Entry alloc] initWithEntity:[NSEntityDescription
entityForName:@"Entry" inManagedObjectContext:self.nmocontext]
insertIntoManagedObjectContext:self.nmocontext];

As the user makes choices, attributes of this 'provisional' object, newPtr, are set.
The problem is that the base UITableViewController remains active while the modal ViewController is visible.  It seems to be freaking out (causing crashes) in some cases when it realizes a mandatory attribute of newPtr has not been set yet.
What can I do to stop the NSFetchedResultsController from looking at my managed object context until the modal ViewController is dismissed?

A: Core Data supports "nested" managed object contexts which allow for a flexible architecture that make it easy to support independent, cancellable, change sets. With a child context, you can allow the user to make a set of changes to managed objects that can then either be committed wholesale to the parent (and ultimately saved to the store) as a single transaction, or discarded. If all parts of the application simply retrieve the same context from, say, an application delegate, it makes this behavior difficult or impossible to support.

A: I haven't tested this myself but a possible approach would be to implement viewWillAppear and viewWillDisappear, and set the fetchedResultsController delegate to self on will appear and nil on will disappear.
OR
You could create an NSObject that mirrors the attributes of your NSManagedObject in your editing window. Once the user has finished editing the attributes (and you have run the appropriate validation rules) you can pass them back to your NSManagedObject instance and let the fetchedResultsController do its job.

The Regular: Sweet soccer spots
Jun 9, 2010 at 12:01 AM Jun 17, 2010 at 3:01 AM
I come to Claddagh at least once, sometimes twice a week during the soccer season just to watch with the fans. It's a weirder situation than normal - it's always on Saturday or Sunday morning, like 10 a.m., drinking.
What' re you looking for when you go out?
What's the scene like for those games?
For the English Premier League games, it's a lot of ex-pats - guys who grew up in Britain, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and don't have anywhere else to watch it except for here.
It's really interesting. I saw a guy with a tattoo of the year Liverpool was founded. This is a lifelong obsession for these people. It's awesome.
What are your teams?
Liverpool and the Crew, of course.
Besides Claddagh, where else do you watch soccer?
I go to Fado only to watch Scottish games. You should see it on the Scottish League days. They have a club for Celtic that collects dues from its members because it costs a lot to get the satellite rights for Scottish league.
Those guys don't f--- around - big Scottish bruisers in their sweaters pounding Guinness at 7 a.m. It's an awesome scene. I don't like Celtic, I support a different team, but I keep that on the DL. Those guys look mean.
What do you drink?
I'm pretty much a beer guy. I like Guinness. I like Carlsberg a lot. I love some of those American micros. If I'm somewhere that has Unibroue beers, I'll get those. I love the La Fin du Monde.
St. James Tavern has a great selection of microbrews and it's cheap. And it changes constantly.
Looking forward to the World Cup?
I'm so excited. I'm definitely coming to Claddagh for the England vs. USA game. It's going to be super-crowded - it's going to be awesome
Who will you root for?
USA, that's my country. Liverpool has two guys on that England squad, but I cheer for them all year. I'll be representing for the U.S.

The USDJPY and JPY pairs in general have been consolidating since the JPY managed to pop higher. The USDJPY may be in the process of forming a descending wedge (Speculation). Or the cross could be in a bull flag pattern looking to push higher once again (Conjecture). The pair is in the process of creating lower highs on the daily chart ( Other Thoughts).
What I can tell you for sure is that the pair has a solid base support level at 81.70. A break of that level could lead to another test of the past support zone between 81/80.60. Resistance begins at the descending TL at 82.70 followed by daily price resistance at 83.20. A break of the 81.70 thru 82.70 range will be needed to kick things off once again.
Keane Plan....Interested in the price action around the 81.70 area.

Spurrier said Monday that starting tight end Jerell Adams is doubtful to start after missing three straight days with a hamstring pull, and that came a day after receiver Jerad Washington, who could have cracked the rotation, broke his leg. The Adams news hit particularly hard because, at least from a logical perspective, he could have really aided the Gamecocks' offense.
Connor Mitch doesn't need too much thrown at him right away. A lot of runs, extra protection and high-percentage pass plays would be a presumed benefit.
If Adams is out, that takes away an experienced blocker on the edge and a reliable target for short to mid-range throws. Not that Hayden Hurst, et al, can't do the same, but we haven't seen them do it, so they're lumped into the unknown quality that a lot of other players have.
USC was going into this game with several questions, no matter what.
There are just more of them now.
Wide receiver Jared Washington had successful surgery on his broken left leg Sunday.
Washington could be back in 10-12 weeks but will more than likely be redshirted, receivers coach Steve Spurrier Jr. said.

All-new 2020 Kia Soul walks that walk in Los Angeles
The cute boxy shape is back, but with more sharpness
Kia has officially unveiled the 2020 Soul at the Los Angeles Auto Show 2018. Among the highlights: new 2-liter engine, more tech and new versions.
Kia's new Soul is completely changed from the ground up. In the design department, Kia fitted the new 2020 Soul with slim DRLs, a larger front grille that gets the two-tone treatment, roof rack mounting points and sharper edges.
The new Soul stretches to a length of 165.2 in (2.2 in more than its predecessor), while width and height remain unchanged, at 70.9 in and 63 in, respectively. Wheelbase, however, has been increased by 1.2 in to 102.4 in.
Inside the cabin, Kia's new Soul can be fitted with a 10.25-inch HD color touchscreen (standard for EX, GT-Line) that's compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Moreover, customers can specify an 8-inch head-up display, multi-connection Bluetooth and a 640-watt Harman Kardon audio system with 10 speakers and a subwoofer.
Under the hood, the new Kia Soul can be had with a 2-liter Nu four-cylinder engine (147 hp, 132 lb-ft) twinned with a six-speed manual or a CVT, but also a zippier engine in the form of a turbocharged unit displacing 1.6 liters (201 hp, 195 lb-ft) mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Three different styles are also available for the new Soul - GT-Line (sporty body bits, 18-inch alloys, leather steering wheel and glossy mirrors), X-Line (plastic cladding, off-road-like accents, 18-inch alloys, two-tone paint) and EX Designer Collection (black-spoked 18-inchers, LED headlights and fog lights, two-tone roof).

You are worthy of more than you could dream. You are worthy of love, from others, but more importantly from yourself.
You deserve to shower yourself in love rooted in respect, dignity, honesty, compassion, and intuition. If others enter your life and tread upon any of these tenets, thus devaluing your ability to love yourself, know that you have the power to allow them to exit just as they came in.
Abuse not only comes in the form of bruises, but also in words. You have always said that once a person lays a hand on you, you will leave.
Why wait for that degree of harm to release you?
Abuse can slip into your mind and heart unannounced and masquerade as character critiques, denouncement of your values, alteration of your reality, and "core principles you need to change about yourself, because you are wrong/bad/misinformed/less than/lacking in some manner". Abuse can be the voice of a partner silencing your intuition, making you doubt your gut—a force that has never failed you in the past but now seems as useful as a magnetized compass whose north needle failingly points south in the middle of the ocean. Abuse can masquerade as the words you say to yourself, "If this ever happens again, I am gone"…and then after a month's passage, you find yourself saying them a second and third time.
Dear teenage me, you will encounter this. Know that you are powerful, radiant, and bold. You can trust yourself. You must.
You can empower your intuition and voice to protect your heart—your heart is sensitive, and it is beautiful in this quality. Even without a compass, you know how to find your home, grounding, and spirit.
You are worthy of emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental safety. You have a community of family and friends who will remind you of this, but you must allow their voices to hold more collective weight than the sole voice that will tell you otherwise. More importantly, you must allow your voice—your truth—to hold the greatest weight.
I believe in your voice.

LSE and Deutsche Borse Merger to Conclude Irrespective of Brexit
The solid business combination of London Stock Exchange and Deutsche Borse will go ahead regardless.
Victor Golovtchenko | Exchanges ( Institutional FX ) | Tuesday, 22/03/2016 | 00:22 GMT+2 2016-03-21T22:22:40+00:00 2016-03-22T08:16:14+00:00

The merger of equals between the London Stock Exchange and Deutsche Borse is likely to conclude irrespective of the prospects of a Brexit scenario, where the United Kingdom could vote to leave the European Union.
After the announcement last week that two of the biggest exchanges in the world are combining their forces into a merger of equals, speculation about the challenges facing the companies has started.
The combined group would result in one of the biggest market infrastructure groups in the world. The strategic rationale for the merger aims to lead to long-term growth and deliver enhanced shareholder value over the long term, however a near-term change in the structure of the European market could pose challenges to this plan.
$450 million of Synergies per Annum
With the companies expecting $450 million of cost synergies per annum, the competitiveness of both companies is likely to increase due to revenue synergies. While from a shareholder perspective Deutsche Borse has been the strongest performer in recent years, the combined global reach of the firms in Europe and Asia could result in a truly competitive entity.
Looking aside from home markets, the group has been setting foot in Italy, France and Luxembourg among others. Together Deutsche Borse and the London Stock Exchange group will be the largest exchange by total income.
The combination between the businesses of both companies could also result in a more efficient European capital market structure in the long run. Should the competition authorities in Europe approve the deal, changes in the structure of European capital markets would go beyond equities.
Brexit Could Be a Gradual Process of Renegotiation of Existing Treaties
The management of both companies held a press conference highlighting that the companies will proceed with the deal regardless of Brexit prospects. Both companies believe that a merger is positioned well irrespective of the outcome of the referendum.
The outcome of a Brexit vote may result in short term volume gyrations, which in all fairness is not necessarily a negative, since we know that financial intermediaries are usually benefiting from volatility. In addition the ramifications resulting from a prospective vote to leave the European Union are not going to unravel in a single day.
The discussions between the European Union and the United Kingdom could continue for up to two years before a decision is made. The companies will therefore have enough time to adapt to new regulatory framework changes and maneuver with structural shifts of the different businesses of the newly formed group.

The belief that less healthy foods are cheaper is based on faulty accounting. Sure, a soda or highly processed snack food may have more calories per dollar than some healthier options, however comparing the price of empty calories to nutrient dense foods is like comparing the price of textbooks to the price of a college education: you need the books to learn but without the classes they mean little.
If you were to shift your accounting to nutrients per dollar, plant-foods would come up winners every single time.
With spices, condiments, and creativity, these foods can be transformed into an endless possibility of delicious and healthy meals.
If you shop at a store with a bulk foods section this can substantially reduce the cost of healthy food as well. Dried beans and grains in bulk containers are incredibly cheap and super healthy calories packed with nutrition.
Buying fresh produce that is in season reduces costs as well. You may have noticed that strawberries in the early summer, peaches in late summer, and squash in the fall are cheapest. Buying them at other times of the year can dramatically increase the price.
For out of season produce, and throughout the winter in northern climates, frozen fruits and vegetables are often the cheapest way to get healthy produce into your diet. And because these foods are often frozen immediately after being picked, their nutritional content is often equal or even superior to fresh foods, depending on season and shipping distance.
Another note: most of the developing world follows a plant-based diet, more for economic reasons than health. As I mentioned earlier, beans and rice are an incredibly cheap meal, and are the staple for most of Latin America, for example. Rice and vegetables are staples in Asia. Wheat, millet, and sweet potatoes are staples in Africa and the Middle East.
Finally, while the inputs for processed foods – refined grain, high-fructose corn syrup, oils, etc. – are indeed cheap and allow for cheap calories, the cost of prepared frozen meals and fast food is higher than preparing a meal yourself.
Whenever you ask someone else – a corporation, a fast food employee, or restaurant chef – to purchase and prepare food for you, there is a mark up in the price of that food. They have added "value" to your meal, by eliminating the need for you to prepare it yourself. So even though fast food may seem cheap, it pales in comparison to how cheap you can make food on your own.
Build your diet around the cheap and healthy staples listed above. Prepare your meals yourself whenever you can, so you have a say in how the ingredients are chosen. Eating healthy is cheaper than being unhealthy. We'll explore this more in a later post.
The teaser: grocery bills are cheaper than doctor's bills . . .

depression and the miss use of antidepressants. Can sport help?
This article in the Guardian got me thinking: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/apr/30/psychiatric-drugs-harm-than-good-ssri-antidepressants-benzodiazepines. The article highlights the miss use and over-prescription of antidepressants.
Drug abuse itself doesn't shock me as much as the abuse of people. In the case of antidepressants, it seems profits are put ahead of the well being of the people they are supposed to help. However, the aforementioned Guardian article didn't affect me as much as the comments that follow it: People stating the ill effects these drugs have had on them in the first person. Now that's chilling.
I know relatively little about depression and addiction, I know about sport and have some grounding in sports psychology. This is not an academic piece, but does draw on some academic resources.
The first problem I've come across exploring this problem, is that depression isn't well defined. From my understanding of depression: Everyone has their ups and down, but clinical depression is different. It's a long term state of under performance accompanied by indifference. These broad symptoms take various shapes and forms and also display a variety of physical and mental symptoms, which can differ from person to person and case to case. And herein lies the problem: The breadth of symptoms of depression, like sleeping too much, to sleeping to little, to anxiety (which is a separate problem often entangled with depression) mean that it's too often diagnosed: It's simply too easy to palm off some 'quick fix' antidepressants on someone.
Again, I'm not an expert. From my understanding, there are a broad range of environmental factors and well as personal factors that can contribute to a bout of depression. It would seem sensible to tackle the cause, rather than treating the symptoms, however these causes can, at best be thought of as 'multi-dimensional': Lifestyle, diet, pre-disposition, drug use, life events(?). Psychiatry would point to chemical imbalances in the brain, in some cases this must be the direct, primary cause of depression; in lieu of some other extraneous variable causing the imbalance.
drugs, counselling apparently help. Might sport help too?
In all the sources mentioned bellow, sport refers to running, walking or cycling. I.e. the 'endurance' sports. It seems exercise has an effect on improving the symptoms of depression and the modality and intensity don't seem to be important, although Weinberg and Gould (2011) suggest moderate intensity aerobic exercise as the most important.
A meta-analysis (that's basically an analysis based on a collection of lots of research) by Lawlor and Hopker (2001), states weaknesses in various studies they analysed. Despite this exercise was found to be better than no therapy and as good as cogitative therapy.
why most studies on this topic are flawed (in layman)?
The key flaw in these studies is that exercise as a treatment for depression is very hard to isolate as the single factor affecting change in depression. Hence a researcher can stick his hand up and say 'exercise lowers depression!'. At best exercise is said to correlate with lower rates of depression.
Which sport you do, isn't as important as simply doing exercise. Do the exercise you feel happiest doing.
The largest antidepressant effects of exercise are found in training programs that are at least 9 weeks long (Weinberg and Gould 2011).
Intensity isn't important. If you're new to exercise, exercise at the intensity that feels best for you.
The most acute antidepressant effects of exercise can last up to 24h; regular training is important.
It doesn't matter who you are, how old you are, whether you are fit or unfit, exercise, suffering from depression or not, exercise will help reduce anxiety.
Personally, when I was cycling professional I don't think exercise contributed to a healthier mind. But now I work just on studying, training and this project (SMS) and I find exercise necessary to bring balance to my life.
Whether you are depressed or not, exercise really is as close to a miracle drug as there is. This is so much so I often wonder if it can be true, however time and again exercise stands up to the scrutiny. There are no short cuts: get exercising, it's worth many time the effort you put in.
has sported helped you? What do you think of using sport in helping depression?

Wal-Mart has the Lexmark X3430 printer/scanner/copier for $27.88. You'll need a USB cable if you plan to connect it to your PC.
If you thought the $34 HP DeskJet F2110 printer/scanner/copier was a good deal, try this on for size: Wal-Mart has the Lexmark X3430 printer/scanner/copier for a mere $27.88.
The X3430 combines a tri-color inkjet printer with a flatbed scanner and copier. It can churn out documents at up to 17 pages per minute (according to Lexmark) and scan to PDF or OCR. It prints 4x6-inch borderless photos and includes slots for most kinds of memory cards. It also has a basic control panel, something the HP lacks.
