The Greater Journey (Kobo eBook)
The #1 bestseller that tells the remarkable story of the generations of American artists, writers, and doctors who traveled to Paris, the intellectual, scientific, and artistic capital of the western world, fell in love with the city and its people, and changed America through what they learned, told by America's master historian, David McCullough.
Not all pioneers went west.
In The Greater Journey, David McCullough tells the enthralling, inspiring—and until now, untold—story of the adventurous American artists, writers, doctors, politicians, and others who set off for Paris in the years between 1830 and 1900, hungry to learn and to excel in their work. What they achieved would profoundly alter American history.
Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor in America, was one of this intrepid band. Another was Charles Sumner, whose encounters with black students at the Sorbonne inspired him to become the most powerful voice for abolition in the US Senate. Friends James Fenimore Cooper and Samuel F. B. Morse worked unrelentingly every day in Paris, Morse not only painting what would be his masterpiece, but also bringing home his momentous idea for the telegraph. Harriet Beecher Stowe traveled to Paris to escape the controversy generated by her book, Uncle Tom's Cabin. Three of the greatest American artists ever—sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, painters Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent—flourished in Paris, inspired by French masters.
Almost forgotten today, the heroic American ambassador Elihu Washburne bravely remained at his post through the Franco-Prussian War, the long Siege of Paris, and the nightmare of the Commune. His vivid diary account of the starvation and suffering endured by the people of Paris is published here for the first time.
Telling their stories with power and intimacy, McCullough brings us into the lives of remarkable men and women who, in Saint-Gaudens' phrase, longed "to soar into the blue.

Thank You Volunteers!
On Thursday August 2, the volunteers of the FJC were honored with a picnic at Stiglmeier Park in Cheektowaga. Under picture-perfect blue skies, more than forty FJC staff and volunteers gathered to enjoy great food, drink and camaraderie. Domestic advocate and volunteer coordinator, Jaclyn Strycharz, and her mom, Cindy Chentfant organized the event which included a barbeque with all the fixings.
Dan Barone, a supporter who helps out with meals at his local church, volunteered his time to grill hot dogs and chicken for the event. The celebration gave volunteers from all the FJC locations a chance to get together. The heartfelt time that volunteers give to the FJC are crucial to providing services to more than 2,000 new clients seen each year at the center and satellite locations.
Thank you all for choosing to give your valuable time to support the Family Justice Center and the domestic abuse victims who seek safety.
Ladies Night Out at Red Siren
by Family Justice Center | Mar 21, 2018 | Newsletter Article
What's better than a fun night of shopping? A night of shopping that also supports a worthwhile cause and on April 12, 2018 from 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm, the Red Siren will host a Ladies Night Out to benefit the Family Justice Center.
Red Siren, located at 976 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo is a classic and preppy boutique for women and men carrying 30+ brands of apparel, jewelry, gifts and custom Buffalo items. Ladies Night Out will not only give shoppers 10% off of all purchases that evening, but will also include a personal shopper, champagne, and light bites. Red Siren will also donate 10% of the evening's sales to the Family Justice Center.
So, if you are looking for a fun evening of shopping at a chic boutique, please stop out to the Red Siren and join in the fun.
Recently, the Family Justice Center received an offer we could not refuse. David Nuzzo, friend and supporter of the Center and a gifted chef, will be donating his culinary talents for the benefit of our clients.
With the assistance of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church and funding from the William Hein Company, Dave will be cooking and freezing homemade gourmet meals that clients can take home with them. Dave has been working on an initial menu that includes such delicious entrees as baked eggplant parmesan, chicken and shrimp enchiladas, and spinach and mushroom lasagna. These delectable meals, along with soups and cookies, will be available at each of the Family Justice Center's offices.
While the Family Justice Center has had an on-site food pantry to assist clients, David's meals offer something even better – a pre-prepared hot meal that are sure to not only fill the stomachs, but also warm the hearts of our clients. We cannot thank Dave and his supporters enough for choosing to share their time and talent to support domestic violence victims and help them meet some of their most basic needs.
Allstate Foundation Funds Economic Empowerment Workshops
Domestic violence takes many forms, including financial abuse. Many victims feel trapped in the relationship because they have no access to the family finances and/or have not been allowed to earn their own income. Others have had their credit intentionally ruined by their abusers leaving them to believe that they are unable to start over on their own. One of the most effective means of control over a victim is restricting their financial independence.
The Allstate Foundation has recently provided the Family Justice Center with funding to help empower victims to re-gain their financial independence. In a partnership with Child & Family Services – Haven House and Key Bank, the Family Justice Center will be offering free Financial Empowerment Workshops to educate clients on the building blocks for financial independence. The workshops, led by Key Bank representatives, will cover such issues as understanding your credit score and how to improve your score, budgeting, establishing and managing bank accounts, and more.
Upon completion of the workshop, interested participants can then continue the Financial Empowerment program with one on one counseling provided by Haven House's Economic Empowerment Specialist. In addition, attendees can also choose to work with the representatives at Key Bank to work on establishing their own bank accounts, monitoring their credit, discussing home buying options, and addressing any other on-going financial issues and goals.
The Workshops will be offered several times a year at no cost to the attendees. Our next workshop will be taking place on April 12, 2018 at 5:30 pm at the Family Justice Center's Buffalo Office located at 438 Main Street, Buffalo. If you, or anyone you know, would like to attend, please just contact Tiffany Pavone at tpavone@fjcsafe.org or 558-7233 to register.

Service Overview: What you get: One thirty-minute photography session each month. You will receive 20 professionally edited images. What it costs: $49 per month for six consecutive months. How it works: •	Photography sessions can happen at Client's convenience together with Photographer's schedule. Photography session must be scheduled and conducted by the end of the month. •	The date, time, and location for the photography session will occur at the convenience of both of our schedules; decided and agreed upon between you and I at least one week prior to the photography session (the earlier the better, though!). By signing this agreement, you agree to: •	Pay $49 per month for the Monthly Photography Subscription plan for six-months. After six months, you will not be charged again unless you sign up again. •	Assist in the scheduling process and finding locations for photoshoots.

Despite being a country music mega-star, Blake Shelton still gets embarrassed.
Shelton appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Monday (Nov. 5), and host DeGeneres couldn't help herself from bringing up a certain clumsy incident that happened during one of his performances.
After Shelton loosened up by taking a shot of his vodka brand, Smithworks, with DeGeneres, she played a clip of Shelton falling over his own feet at one of his concerts.

"Why in God's name do I come on this show?" Shelton said over the audience's laughter. He jokingly blamed his fall on Pitbull's presence at the performance, telling DeGeneres, "You can imagine how I was feeling."
After enduring DeGeneres' taunting, Shelton also discussed his upcoming Friends & Heroes Tour, which will include artists like Trace Adkins and the Bellamy Brothers.

Public deliberation in waste management
Sally Hussey
Public deliberation in waste management should address technological and social contexts of decision-making, finds a recent review in the UK.
'A conceptual framework for negotiating public involvement in municipal waste management decision-making in the UK' reports on attitudes to public involvement and explores engagement practices, resources and capacity in participatory decision-making. Participants include local authorities and communities, activist groups, community engagement practitioners, NGOs, waste management companies and government agencies.
The study produces a framework that maps types of technologies ("non-thermal", "emerging", and "controversial") to types of risk, providing premises for public involvement, modes and levels of engagement, and benefits. It shows how early and inclusive public input from a variety of stakeholder perspectives can inform and strengthen decisions, especially when it comes to controversial issues.
Composting, for example, would be a "non-thermal" technology corresponding to a "largely technical and narrowly defined" type of problem or risk: that is, suitable for restricted public involvement open to internal stakeholders and partners, detailed proposals for comment or objection with outcomes around accountability, solution-building, and public awareness.
Incineration, however, would be an "ambiguous problem" with broadly defined social issues, the premise for which would be to engage with dissent and find a more effective or acceptable solution. It would require extensive public involvement to generate outcomes around equity, legitimacy, acceptability, and conflict resolution.
The study suggests that approaches to public involvement can be influenced by the nature of the problem, local cultures, values, and histories, the urgency of decision-making, in addition to the availability of resources and expertise. Understanding that participatory or deliberative approaches should not be reduced to a treatment applied to representative decision-making, the framework offers a guide to achieving a balance between deliberative and representative approaches to policy.

Technik auf den Leib gerückt
It could all begin with our sense of sight. First, artificial eyes would expand your perception beyond what is humanly possible. You would network your sensory organs with those of other individuals, allowing you to see through their eyes, hear with their ears, touch with their hands. Some decades later, tiny robots would swarm through your body, making it more resistant, increasing its longevity. After a while, some of your body parts might no longer be organic – replaced by perfectly adapted prostheses that perform the desired function of your limbs and organs more reliably than their biological predecessors. Finally, you will have become the designer of your own body, reshaping it, modifying its parameters, expanding it, expanding yourself.
The Blind Robot from Louis-Philippe Demers on Vimeo.
This is the outlook we are confronted with if we listen to the technological visionaries of Silicon Valley. In the pictures they paint of the day after tomorrow, the merging of man and machine seems imminent. Most popularly, this future utopia is propagated by Raymond Kurzweil, the multiple-prizewinning inventor currently working as engineer-in-chief for Google. He is known less for his inventions than his controversial ideas on the future of humanity. In Kurzweil's view, the convergence of bio-, nano-, and information technologies will lead to people transforming step by step into cyborgs, synthetic humans integrating technology into their bodies to overcome the inherent limitations of Homo sapiens.
Kurzweil is not the only one. Behind the keyword transhumanism, a globally networked school of thought has emerged that has inhaled a heady dose of Californian technological utopianism. Its programme is called: human enhancement, the improvement and optimisation of human abilities by means of technological redesign. Transhumanists bring possible modifications of the human body into the discussion that are intended as enticing promises, designed to seduce individuals into imagining their technologically extended future selves.
Whether this vision of a prosthetic god in the literal sense fascinates or terrifies us, it certainly appears radical. For some utopian transhumanists, however, cyborgisation is just the first step in a transformation of human nature culminating in the transferral of human consciousness into the machine. Once the brain has been uploaded, man would be free at last from the bonds of biology, could reprogramme himself, copy himself, and combat the risk of being deleted by making regular backups. He would become technologically immortal.
The Future in Action
It would be easy to dismiss such visions of the future with a shrug of the shoulders, to demonise them from the viewpoint of the enlightened European intellectual as the bizarre offshoot of an unshakable faith in technology, banishing them from the realm of serious thought. For sure. Nothing would be easier. But instead of viewing these technological utopias as a strange other that can be confidently waved aside, we need to understand and take them seriously as an expression of our culture. I say "our culture" quite deliberately. For it would be a backwards-looking misconception of the present if we were to simply dismiss such ideas as the outpourings of a specific and distinct technology-loving subculture with which we have no links. There are two reasons for this: the first is that with datafication and the networking of the world, Silicon Valley is coming to us, into our homes and into our pockets. Even if we do not share the dreams of this culture, they are entering our everyday reality in a materialised form. Technological visions are not just being dreamed up, they are being put into action. On the one hand, the "eternal truths" of technological development include the fact that innovations rarely fulfil expectations: often enough, things do not go at all as planned – not least because it is impossible to predict how the technology will be adopted by its users. In this light, it is doubtful whether the cyborgisation will ever come to pass as anticipated in the transhumanist dream. Nonetheless, attempts to make this dream a reality will be translated via complex and meandering paths into material products that will find their way into our everyday lives.
There is also a second reason why we can hardly distance ourselves from the vision of the transhumanists without simultaneously disavowing our own modern culture. In my view, such visions are explicit and extreme projections onto our bodies of something that is present in the culture of modernity as a whole: a tendency to increase options and break down borders. In modern thought, the future is seen as a time when existing limits can be overcome by human intervention. The present, on the other hand, is just a staging post on the way to a better world. The key player in this narrative is man in his role as a shaping force – shaping himself and his surroundings.
Dans les limbes (English: In Limbo) - the film - trailer from PROVIDENCES on Vimeo.
Industrial technology has proven to be a key instrument in shaping the environment. We now speak of the Anthropocene to reflect man's shaping influence on the planet. What we actually mean by this, however, is a world permeated by technology: from road networks covering the land, tides of plastic making their way across the oceans, cities that seem to resemble artificial super-organisms, supplied by industrial agriculture and a titanic energy infrastructure.
While the reshaping of the environment has for some time now been the purview of advanced technologies, reshaping the self is still viewed primarily as, on the one hand, a spiritual and moral objective to be achieved via education, disciplined thinking, and ethical reflection, and, on the other, as an aesthetic task calling for sporting activity, good hygiene, and beauty care. Following Foucault, these forms of work on body and mind can be understood as "technologies of the self". Nonetheless, the techniques of the self we have tried out on ourselves in the past, from time immemorial to the industrial age, appear in retrospect to be strangely disconnected from the scientifically informed material technologies used by man to make the world his own. The history of modern society may be, among other things, crucially a history of shaping the self, but this process hardly involved the advanced technologies with which we domesticated the non-human nature before reshaping and supplanting it with built, artificial structures.
In the visions of the transhumanists, this gap is now being closed. The materialisation of these visions seems already to have begun. One hears about pharmaceutical products that enhance wakefulness, memory, and concentration. At tattoo parlours, one can have magnets implanted that promise expanded sensory capacities and new abilities. As well as picking up paper clips and pins, they are said to be good for sensing electromagnetic fields, thus enriching the spectrum of the senses. Also, prostheses used in sport are no longer viewed merely as a way of compensating for physical disabilities, but as technical upgrades that may even bring competitive advantages. With the right sport prostheses, supposedly disabled athletes may be faster and stronger than those with no such supposed handicap.
A veritable movement of cyborg activists has entered the political arena who view prostheses not (only) as repairs of the body, but as improvements. The German cyborg pioneer Enno Park, for example, stresses that his cochlea implant not only compensates for his hearing deficiency but also allows him to control his hearing in ways not available to technically unmodified humans – such as switching off unwanted background noise.
At the same time, the debate on potential optimisations is being fuelled by recent innovations in biotechnology. There is talk of genome design, of red lines that must not be crossed, of the last bastion of naturalness.
Next Stop: Enhancement Society?
This naturalness, however, has become fragile. We are clearly already on the path towards self-optimisation via advanced technologies. Although the radical future scenarios of the transhumanists are still a distant prospect, the enhancement society already seems to have been partially realised. But this impression is deceptive in two ways.
Firstly, the dream of human enhancement that uses advanced material technologies (at last!) to extend the capabilities of humans beyond what was previously possible is deceptive because it concentrates naively on the body. Its fascination is based entirely on modification by medical prosthetics – ignoring the fact that we have already long since become artificially extended humans, for example, via our smartphones.
Smartphones help us to orient ourselves in time and space; they remind us of appointments; they act as devices for recording and dictation; they store data and give us access to these data anytime, anywhere; they can be ticket machine, pocket calculator, fitness trainer, shopping list, and newspaper kiosk in one. Smartphones connect us with the world around us and with other people. And they change the way we interact with the natural and social world. Today, one cannot imagine any area of life that could not be mediated and transformed by smartphones.
What Shall We Do Next? (Sequence #2) by Julien Prévieux from Julien Prévieux on Vimeo.
If one considers the smartphone as an innovation in the context of the enhancement debate, one gains the following impression: while talk of the technological transformation of the body was enchanting and terrifying both experts and the general public, behind their backs a technology was spreading that already fulfils some of the promises currently being made in the name of drugs and implants.
We are already technologically extended beings. Not only via smartphones, but through the entire range of everyday technologies that open up new realms of experience and action. Socialised human nature is technological in itself. To paraphrase the French technological sociologist Bruno Latour: "We are our own technology." In his view, if all technology was to be removed from the environment inhabited by humans then our ways of relating to ourselves and the world, our social relations and experiences, would hardly differ from the reality of baboons.
Secondly, the idea of an emerging enhancement society is deceptive because it falls for the transhumanist narrative of perpetual improvement – whereas the history of modernity has taught us that advances in technology always involve (sometimes invisible) costs and consequences. It can hardly be told as an unbroken history of improvements, as the talk of human enhancement suggests. This is illustrated by the simple case of a technology which, like the smartphone, can be interpreted as an extension of human capabilities: the automobile.
Driving has been and remains an expression of modern freedom, but this freedom comes at a price. Humans must learn to adapt to cars – as drivers and as road users affected by other motorists. In a world of drivers, numerous rules and signs must be learned. Town and country must be reshaped so that cars can get around – and people still end up in traffic jams. Driving is also dangerous. Cars expose the human body to the risk of new, previously unknown kinds of accidents. As well as being liberating, technologies are also deeply ambivalent. The notion of an enhancement society ignores these ambivalences by interpreting technological developments only as improvements and optimisations.
Considering advances in technology as liberating is a risky misconception. Like the automobile, smartphones optimise our lives in many ways. But do they make us freer? Of course they do. At the same time, however, we are also more tied up in technological networks. Like the traffic networks for cars, digital networks pose new challenges, create new problems, awaken new anxieties – for example concerning a new fragility of the private sphere in the context of a digital loss of control or the terror of constant reachability and non-stop activity.
Technological extensions come at a price, regardless of whether they are built into the body itself or reshape our lives in a creeping but far-reaching manner via the design of intimate interfaces (like the touchscreen or the steering wheel).
We are not the self-assured designers of our environment and our own bodies. We shape and are shaped. Our technologies shape the ways we act, think, and feel. The history of modernity allows us to make a prediction that is not especially bold: we will continue to accept the technologisation of our world and ourselves – and we will have to learn to live with the consequences.

Q: Another proof for $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}n^{\frac{1}{n}}=1(n=1,2,\cdots)$. Problem
Prove$$\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}n^{\frac{1}{n}}=1$$where $n=1,2,\cdots$
Proof
Notice that $$1=1^{\frac{1}{n}}\leq n^{\frac{1}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{1\cdot 1\cdot 1\cdots\sqrt{n}\cdot \sqrt{n}}\leq \frac{n-2+2\sqrt{n}}{n}<\frac{n+2\sqrt{n}}{n}=1+\frac{2}{\sqrt{n}}.$$
Thus, $$1 \leq n^{\frac{1}{n}}\leq 1+\frac{2}{\sqrt{n}}\to 1(n \to \infty).$$
By the squeeze theorem, we may obtain $$\lim_{n \to \infty}n^{\frac{1}{n}}=1.$$

A: Assuming the limit is $L = 1$, let us prove this using the definition of a limit:
$$\forall \epsilon > 0,  \exists n_0 \in \mathbb{N} \text{ such that } \vert  n^\frac{1}{n} - 1 \vert < \epsilon, \quad \forall n > n_0$$
Notice that the following are equivalent

*

*$\mid n^\frac{1}{n} - 1 \mid < \epsilon $

*$(1- \epsilon)^n < n < (1+\epsilon)^n$

Note that $(1- \epsilon)^n < 1 \le n$.
As for $(1 + \epsilon)^n$, use Binomial theorem as follows
$$
(1+\epsilon)^n = \sum_{i=0}^n \binom{n}{i}\epsilon^i > \binom{n}{2}\epsilon^{2} = \frac{n(n-1)}{2} \epsilon^2
$$
Choose $n_0 = \lceil 1 + \frac{2}{\epsilon^2}  \rceil$,
we have
$$
n < \frac{n(n-1)}{2} \epsilon^2 <(1+\epsilon)^n
$$

MtDNA mutations and aging—not a closed case after all?
Alexander M. Wolf ORCID: orcid.org/0000-0002-5755-87561
Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy volume 6, Article number: 56 (2021) Cite this article
Senescence
In a recent paper in Nature Cancer, Smith et al. demonstrate that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations can confer a growth advantage to intestinal tumors by remodeling cell metabolism, particularly toward elevated de novo serine synthesis.1 For the reasons outlined below, in the past decade, the field of mtDNA biology has experienced a relative loss of relevance. The findings of Smith et al. breathe welcome new life into the complex field of mtDNA contributions to aging and cancer.
Compared to nuclear DNA (nDNA), mtDNA experiences high rates of mutation because it is relatively unprotected, mtDNA repair mechanisms are far less sophisticated, and mtDNA is located close to a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the mitochondrial electron transport chain. MtDNA mutations accumulate with age, and it was long thought that they might contribute to the functional decline seen in aging. This idea was dealt a lethal blow when a mouse accumulating mtDNA mutations at vastly increased rates did not show accelerated aging.2 This decisive elimination of mtDNA from the pantheon of grand aging theories seemed to leave no important role for accumulating mtDNA mutations in aging.
The dynamics of normal and mutant mtDNA are complex not only in intestinal carcinogenesis. Cells usually contain hundreds of mtDNA molecules, each replicating according to metabolic demand and independent of cell division. Damaged mtDNA molecules need to accumulate and replace most normal mtDNA within a cell to cause mitochondrial efficiency to drop significantly. Why this accumulation happens nonetheless is still poorly understood, but might be driven in part by faster replication of truncated mtDNA and increased mtDNA replication frequency induced by the energy crisis. On the level of cells, however, it is clear that in the aging human intestine, cells harboring large amounts of mtDNA mutations gradually expand and form patches of respiration-deficient cells. This clonal expansion of respiration-deficient cells is, however, not observed in the mouse intestine, and the lack of a good murine model is still hampering research. Smith et al. combine mice homozygous for a proofreading-deficient polymerase γ (which accumulate very high numbers of mtDNA mutations) with a model of intestinal tumorigenesis, tamoxifen-inducible deletion of adenomatous polyposis coli in intestinal crypt stem cells. The difficulty of replicating the human situation of expanding clones of respiration-deficient cells is illustrated by the fact that they still resort to using homozygous polymerase γ mutant mice, even though heterozygous mice also display expanding clones but no premature aging phenotype.
Smith et al. nicely show that while the number of tumors was unaffected by the presence of mtDNA mutations, mtDNA mutations increased tumor growth by inducing metabolic remodeling towards anabolic growth. This hints at positive selection for mtDNA mutation-containing cells and is supported by recently reported enrichment of mtDNA mutations not only in colorectal but also in several other, notably kidney, cancer types.3 The finding of altered one-carbon metabolism following respiratory chain disturbances is not new.4 Crucially, the same metabolic rewiring is also observed in many types of cancer, where it is critical for growth and cell survival in the nutrient-starved environment of a growing cancer.
It is my personal opinion that most of the many phenotypes that constitute aging are nothing more than a consequence of tumor-suppressive mechanisms that had to evolve to limit the danger posed by expanding clones of cells in large, long-lived organisms like us. The tumor-suppressive mechanism is cellular senescence and irreversible growth arrest. Smith et al. provide welcome new evidence that, in this view, not only oncogenic nuclear DNA mutations contribute to cancer and aging, but, indirectly, also mtDNA mutations. In this view, illustrated in Fig. 1, the clonal expansion of cells and their tumorigenic potential, but not loss of any function or cell death, is, for the organism as a whole, the only relevant consequence of somatic mutations in nDNA and the mechanistic driver of aging. The beautiful results of Smith et al. show that the same can be true for mtDNA mutations. At least in some organs, mtDNA mutations can function as an oncogenic mutation by inducing metabolic remodeling, a bottleneck in oncogenic transformation. In other organs, mtDNA mutations might have the opposite effect, though.3
Cancer and aging as the dual consequences of somatic nDNA and mtDNA mutations. Oncogenic and mtDNA mutations drive clonal expansion, which triggers tumor-suppressive cell senescence but eventually leads to the characteristic loss of repair and regenerative capacity in aging. What we experience as aging is simply, and mostly, the consequence of a tumor-suppressive irreversible growth arrest that has evolved to limit the tumorigenic potential of clonally expanding cells
So mtDNA mutations, by contributing to oncogenesis contribute to aging after all, but only by driving oncogenesis. Cellular senescence suppresses cancer but causes the aging phenotype (Fig. 1). A commentary on the results of ref. 2 was titled "Mitochondrial DNA mutations and aging: a case closed?" and stated that "The conclusion seems inescapable that mtDNA point mutations are not causally related to the aging process, at least in mice". While this probably remains true for a direct contribution towards any of the functional decline seen in aging, Smith et al.1 and Yuan et al.3 firmly establish mtDNA contributions to tumorigenesis. Smith et al. also nicely show that mtDNA mutations accelerate cell proliferation and reduce apoptosis,1 increasing the organismal burden of senescent cells. They also show that clonally expanding but anatomically normal human colonic crypts upregulate serine synthesis in response to mitochondrial deficiency.1 This shows that mtDNA mutation-driven metabolic rewiring drives clonal expansion, and therefore cellular senescence and aging, even in the absence of overt tumorigenesis. So, after all, mtDNA mutations can still contribute to what we experience as aging.

The Youth Director also arranged a dog show. It was by far the highlight of the whole weekend. Each kid brought up their dog and talked about them and showed/shared a special talent that their dog had. Each kid and their dog won an award. It was the greatest idea - a real joy. There were dogs who could jump on picnic tables, dogs who danced, dogs who played dead, dogs who peed on trash cans.... The kids and adults had a wonderful time.

National Capital Delhi is India's top city for migrant workers, followed by Bengaluru
BUZZING, NEWS, PHOTOS, VIDEOS
India's National Capital Delhi, and not Bengaluru, is the destination to be for gig economy workers.
Delhi recently added 560,600 people to its gig economy in the six months to 31 March, an 88% jump from 298,000 people in first half of financial year 2019.
The number of migrant workers joining Bengaluru's gig economy rose 29% to around 252,300 in H2FY19 from 194,400 in H1FY19.
Delhi's population grew by around 1,000 a day in 2016, out of which over 300 were migrants who came to the city to settle down. The share of migrants in the capital's population growth touched 33% – highest in 15 years. The city state's booming services economy and its highest per capita income among states makes it the number 1 destination for migrants from every state from India.
Delhi has emerged as the top destination for migrant workers joining India's tech-enabled gig economy, pushing India's startup capital Bengaluru to a distant second spot.
The capital city added 560,600 people to its gig economy in the six months ended 31 March, an 88% jump from the 298,000 people it attracted in the first half of the last fiscal, data from human resource firm Team Lease Services shows.
Meanwhile, the number of migrant workers joining Bengaluru's gig economy rose a moderate 29% to around 252,300 in the second half from 194,400 in the last six months.
The gig economy — characterized by contract, temporary employment and freelance workers — is ubiquitous all over the world, India included.
Uber and Ola drivers, Swiggy and Zomato boys and their ilk are integral parts of urban living.
It really doesn't matter if they legally qualify as 'workmen' under Indian laws.
Indian economy which is boomed by rapidly growing e-commerce industry and versatile tech startups like Swiggy and Zomato, and ride hailing firms Uber and Ola, thrives largely unregulated, even as drivers and delivery boys work with little job security and fewer benefits.
R. Srinivasan, professor of strategy at the Indian Institute of Management, Bengaluru, said heightened migration and readily available job training at hyper local delivery companies had helped more migrant workers take up gig economy jobs.
The normal minimum salary for a driver is 16k-17k per month. A private sector driver earns around 15k-18k every month. However Uber and Ola cab drivers makes around two to three thousand a day.
Here also, higher earnings through the new gig routes make for far more 'attractive' cash flows than the government incentives – still confined majorly to the organised sector.
"The speed at which you can convert a migrant into a skilled worker has gone up. In fact, we can see that Delhi has some 1.3 million Ola and Uber drivers. It took eight years for Ola and Uber to do this, while the entire Indian IT industry employs around 4 million people," added Srinivasan.
According to reports and data, around 13 lakhs Indians migrated to five cities — Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Chennai in the last six months to 31 March 2019, Team Lease said, registering a 60% growth in migration compared to the six-month period ended 30 September 2018.
Even as the two top political parties' election manifestos have made space for the budding startup economy and its entrepreneurs, the gig economy, which has transformed how people dine and travel in big cities, has not done enough to protect the interests of gig economy work, said industry experts.
Gig economy workers in India do not have access to insurance like their Western counterparts; this statement is true today, but is likely to change.It is great to see platform economy players offer insurance products through partnerships to their workforce; Ola and Uber together have roughly ~2 Million employees i.e. these schemes can impact the lives of at least 4 Million people.
Millions of people working as self employed in the unorganized sector for decades have never had any safety nets:
-autowallahs
-rikshawallahs
-coolies
-fruit/veggie vendors
-construction workers
*Our employment laws and regulations expressly prohibit dual employment.
Gig pro's love handling dual/multiple contracts simultaneously.
Drivers, toolers, machinists, servicemen will all run the gig way.
The signs foretell a new storm is coming.
And the imperative's crystal clear picture — bridge the pay gaps; bring equity.
Migrants support economies in cities around the world. It is important to recognize their contribution rather than see them as outsiders.

There's only one truth, spoken in different ways, and 100 Days to 100% Raw is just one path out of many. It contains the basic principles of the raw food lifestyle as I understand them and attempt to relate them to various issues that affect our daily lives. This ebook is written as a guide to the miraculous applications of the raw foods as a balm to numerous degenerative conditions caused by aging or health neglect.
The path to 100 % Raw is not always easy.
My hope is that this book will be a map through some of its nettlesome paths. I do not write as someone who mastered the way, but as someone who has been walking it, often stumbling and reversing direction. These are the bits of information I've discovered on this path and revelations that have come to me along the way.
100 Days is a commitment to move forward.
The ability to follow day-by-day instructions will bring with it the ability to grow and discover a new you. Keeping up with a day-by-day plan doesn't mean that we can't make adjustments if something unexpected happens. Keeping to a day-by-day plan means that you are creating a track for your life to follow. When changes overwhelm you, there is a route to access so you will not completely unravel.
By learning something new today you will achieve what seemed impossible yesterday. Through reading and experimenting, you can do magical things to your body.
When we are less than our best physically, we sometimes "lose" our beauty. At any given moment you are either degenerating or rejuvenating depending on the choices you make. As you will be changing the food you put into your mouth, you will be changing yourself.
you will see yourself shape-shifting into a new Rawsome you. Since the raw foods can make you feel temporarily uncomfortable because you are breaking with the old cycle of degradation, the sole purpose of this ebook is to help you to make your transition to 100% Raw food lifestyle easier and to guide you through the miraculous process of revealing your Rawsome beauty.
In this ebook I unabashedly refer to my own books to detail the processes that I went through. Therefore, I recommend you read my first two books before starting the journey of 100 Days to 100 % Raw.
This and other Raw Food Books are available at my Natural Beauty Store.

Helsinki lunch / Helsinki

In the well-heeled Helsinki neighbourhood of Eira is the Sea Horse restaurant, a stalwart of the Finnish capital. Since opening in 1934 it's been serving the kind of Finnish comfort food that still makes it a popular spot today. However, not everything was always so rosy. In the late 1990s the restaurant had become a run-down drinking hole and almost closed down. "News spread that the restaurant was in dire straits and up for sale. We couldn't see such a landmark die – we had to save it," says restaurateur Petri Laitinen, who stepped in and bought it in 1999 with his childhood friend Ari Väresmaa.
Laitinen and Väresmaa set to work restoring the restaurant to its former glory. Using old photographs found in the Hotel and Restaurant Museum in Helsinki of the Sea Horse in its early days, a carpenter was hired to recreate the original furniture. In 2000 local artist Kimmo Kaivanto helped to restore the restaurant, harmonising art works with Oili Syvälähde and Kai Brandt's 1970s Art Deco seahorse mural in the main dining room. This has become a cherished trademark of the institution, but the key thing was to restore the original menu. "We went through old cookery books and the original menu and spoke to Anna Liisa Paukku, who had been the restaurant chef for 20 years since the 1960s. We decided to continue the existing traditional Finnish menu and add a few new dishes [including a reindeer fillet with a thick cranberry and red wine sauce]. If it isn't broken, why fix it?" says Laitinen.
It's a formula that has brought in the crowds, who come to eat the simple fare first created by Paukku over half a century ago. One such dish is the steak à la Sea Horse – 200g of premium Finnish sirloin buried under sautéed onions topped with pickled cucumbers and sour cream. Chef Eetu Seivo (pictured) hammers the meat until it is 1cm thick and unless otherwise requested, cooks a medium steak, which he thinks is the juiciest way to serve it. "I serve the steak with all the ingredients on top of it, as I think the mixture of different tastes and textures work really well. I recommend washing it all down with gluten-free Kukko beer," he says.
For starters, a popular choice is the hearty salmon soup served with a hunk of rye bread. "Although it's also available as a main course, it's served in such a big bowl I've never seen anyone finish it. People find it more manageable as a starter," says Seivo. Although the recipe is simple, timing is crucial and the potatoes and onion must thicken the broth before generous cubes of salmon are added.
A homely atmosphere coupled with a menu that doesn't change has drawn in both local and foreign customers. The restaurant has a menu in Japanese for the crowds who fly in from Tokyo craving the cabbage rolls stuffed with ground meat, onions and rice. It's a democratic environment and no matter who you are, you have to wait your turn to be seated. It's common to spot politicians and well-known Finns waiting for a table. "Quality food can't be prepared in a rush," says Seivo. "It's like having an unhurried dinner at home with friends and it's this very casual experience that our customers enjoy."
