Ethan Hawke's 'Blaze' explores the tragic, unfulfilled life of country musician Blaze Foley
The trailer for Ethan Hawke's 'Blaze' is out and the film explores the life of Blaze Foley, the Texas country musician whose life was tragically cut short
Published on : 11:35 PST, Jun 22, 2018
Four-time Academy Award-nominated actor Ethan Hawke is back on the directorial chair with 'Blaze,' a biographical drama film based on the life of Texas country musician Blaze Foley. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this past January to rave reviews from critics as well as audiences and stars Ben Dickey (The Kid) in the titular role of Foley. The supporting cast includes the likes of Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development) as Sybil Rosen, Foley's lover, Sam Rockwell (Seven Psychopaths), and Steve Zahn (War for the Planet of the Apes).
Distributed by IFC Films, the trailer for 'Blaze' promises to deliver the tragic but equally inspiring tale of Foley through the eyes of the musician and those around him.
Considered by many to be one of the most talented songwriters in the country scene in recent times, Foley was recognized just as much for his problems with alcoholism as he was for his musical genius. Hawke has made the singer's constant struggle with his demons the crux of the narrative.

As the trailer unfurls, a voice warns "Only one drink, big dog, don't want any shenanigans from you tonight. Don't make me regret it," introducing you to the enigma that was Foley. Born in Arkansas, he grew up in San Antonio, Texas, and gravitated towards music at an early age, performing with a gospel band called 'The Singing Fuller Family' with his mother, brother, and sisters. However, Foley's life changes forever after he meets Sybil.
His relationship with Sybil and their evolution from a doe-eyed couple to one that weathers every controversy and every roadblock is the other focus of 'Blaze,' with the trailer making references aplenty to the pair. "Are you going to be a star?" Sybil questions, to which Foley replies: "No, I'm going to be a legend."
So begins his nomadic journey in the quest for fame. Performances in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston follow with his entry into the Austin music scene also marking his descent down the spiral of alcoholism. Numerous attempts to get into songwriting compounded with the career pressure to succeed and the city's raving bar scene concocted the perfect storm that arguably laid waste to one of the most naturally talented artists to have never been. This is how Foley was condemned to the footnotes of music history rather than the index.
His penchant for songwriting was never in doubt, though his ability to take advantage of it was. A self-proclaimed 'Salesman of Songs,' a person explains: "He understood that if you're going to write a song, everyone's going to tell you that you have to live that song. But that's not it, you have to die a little," and poignantly so. His life and career, both, were punctuated by the worst luck imaginable; three of his studio albums disappeared or were stolen under inconspicuous circumstances and, from a musical standpoint, little of his legacy remains.
"I had a little of love," Foley says. "Enough to write a few songs." His words would prove prophetic. What did remain of his work saw him finally recognized as the country artist he had always strived to be. His close friend and confidante Townes Van Zandt, played by Charlie Sexton in the film, described him best when he had said "He's only gone crazy once. Decided to stay."

The trailer reveals so little and so much at the same time. Foley's unaccomplished career in music and his tragic death have become a part of folklore, with 'Blaze' looking to balance the numerous aspects that defined his persona and his image. It waxes lyrical about his astounding ability to write and live through his songs but also insists that his genius is equal parts fractured human being and equal parts facility.
Hawke has set the movie to a somber mood — dark, brooding lighting and just as heavy and hard-hitting dialogue — which is fittingly apt, all things taken into consideration. The distinct southern drawl combined with the folksy background score — Lucinda William's 'Drunken Angel' the ideal tribute as the trailer closes out — send a clear message as well: that, irrespective of his birth, Foley was Texas through and through.
Ethan Hawke has been nominated for four Academy Awards and a Tony Award (Getty Images)
Dickey's performance as Foley has been praised from all quarters, with critic Neil Allen raving: "This movie is all Foley, and the confidence in his words proves incredibly rewarding for Hawke as a cinematic storyteller himself." That view was mirrored by the panel of judges at the Sundance Film Festival who awarded Dickey the Special Jury Award for Achievement in Acting.
The screenplay for 'Blaze' was penned by Hawke and adapted from the novel 'Living in the Woods in a Tree: Remembering Blaze' by Sybil Rosen, who also helped co-write the film. It is scheduled to be released on September 7, 2018, by IFC Films.

The Graveyard and Monuments
Nottingham Family History have compiled and published a list of gravestones and monuments inside the church. It lists gravestones up to the middle of the 1980s, but inevitably there are some errors. We have published a revised updated list on this site, and hope to keep updating it and to add a graveyard plan. Meanwhile the book can also be viewed in Nottinghamshire Library Local-Studies Collections.
See separate articles for:
vicars and vicarages
graveyard survey
Before the middle of the 19th century, Coddington Church was annexed to the benefice of East Stoke. Because we had no separate vicar, secular leaders managed the vestry accounts and had a large influence on vestry matters. We have a handwritten notebook containing church vestry accounts from 1790s to early 1860s, which contains some accounts of expenditure on the fabric of the church and the graveyard. By 1844 however, the church and churchyard had fallen into disrepair and was even claimed to be unsafe.
Coddington became a separate Parish in 1860. The new vicar Rev Dolphin and James Thorpe (who came to own a large part of the village) were largely responsible for the restoration of the church in 1864 - 65. The architect contracted to oversee the work was G.F. Bodley, who involved the young partnership of Morris, Marshall and Faukner to decorate the church. When the work was completed in 1866 the churchyard was enlarged and planted with ornamental shrubs. The graves of Colonel James Thorpe (who largely financed the rebuilding), his two wives and other family members are together near the west entrance of the graveyard. Rev Dolphin's initials are inscribed on the inside of the porch, high up in the eaves above the door.
The newspaper account of the opening contrasts the state of church and graveyard in 1865 to its former state - "an untidy churchyard with its tottering tombstones and decayed wall a church bearing the marks of antiquity almost gone to decay, and buried by the accumulated soil of the past centuries". (During the rebuilding the church floor level was raised by four steps.) It states that a new churchyard wall had been built, with parishioners contributing a 5d in the £ rate towards the cost. The works fund was in defecit and although the extension of the graveyard to the south was envisioned "a burial ground that has for many years been greatly needed" it was many years before this happened. (This may also help explain why a number of Coddington citizens are buried in Barnby).
The graveyard has been extended several times - taking in parts of what was the orchard of Charity farm. The first area in front of the South door was added between 1884 and 1900, presumably around 1890 when headmaster Chauntry-Hunt set an essay "The new part of the churchyard" for the 6th-7th standard schoolchildren.
Close to the exterior door to the Chancel, standing against the south wall is a large rectangular stone monument whose inscription has now almost entirely spalled off. It is that of Moses Ashwell who was borm in 1751. The Ashwells are a very ancient family of yeoman farmers in Coddington - we know of wills of Ashwell family members dating back to 1549 and they were petitioners for the 1760 Enclosure Act.
Inside the church we have a roll of honour for villagers who served in the forces in WW1. In 1921 a marble tablet was placed there, honouring those who gave their lives for their country:
BRYAN, Alfred MM
BRYAN, Leonard
CANT, William
HENTON, Alfred
THORPE, John S MC
YOUNG, Charles
YOUNG, Charles J
THOMPSON Albert
In the tower room there are a pair of stone monuments set into the walls to members of the Colcroft family. They are the earliest known occupants (in the 1780s) of Beaconfield House which was later to be called Coddington Hall. (There was an estate or farm there before this house, because we know of a charitable bequest by William Bell 'out of Beaconsfield'.) The stone tabletsmonument may be in their original positions, because the tower was not rebuilt in 1865, merely encased in ashlar. They mention a vault, but we don't know its position - the church floor level was raised 'by 4 steps' when the church was rebuilt.
In the vestry several old carved stones have been incorporated into the wall, but we know nothing more of them. Memorials in the church usually commemorate gifts from the Thorpe family, either brass plaques or dedications incorporated into stained glass windows.
Between 1890 and 1922 Rev Charles Penswick-Smith served our village as vicar. His daughter, Constance Penswick-Smith (1878 - 1938) became a tireless campaigner for 25 years for the revival of Mothering Sunday in Britain. She was concerned that the religious aspects of the medieval festival of Mothering Sunday would be overshadowed by the new American tradition of Mother?s Day, begun in 1906 by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. You can find the Penswick-Smith graves near the church porch. Mothering Sunday services have special significance for our village and elements of the services reflect this.
The sad death of Captain John Somerled Thorpe, the owner of Coddington Hall, had very large repercussions for the village. Coddington Hall was requisitioned by military authorities and began the slide which led to it's demolition in the 1960s. The Thorpe family sold their estate (to move to their other estate in Argyll) and aljost half the village was sold by auction in 1918. Mrs Thorpe gave the church a marble tablet commemorating her husband and attached copies of his medals to it.
The text of the monument reads:

Plantar Fasciitis: Will Physical Therapy Help My Foot Pain?
One out of 10 people in the United States experience persistent pain along the bottom of the foot, a condition known as plantar fasciitis. In this country alone, outpatient clinics receive more than 1 million visits a year from people seeking help for this type of foot pain. In 2014, the Orthopedic Section of the American Physical Therapy Association published updated clinical practice guidelines on the best treatments for patients with plantar fasciitis. The guidelines present evidence that strongly suggests a combination of manual therapy and rehabilitative exercises to help patients with this foot condition. In a more recent study published in the February 2017 issue of JOSPT, researchers reviewed the records of people with plantar fasciitis who were sent to physical therapy to determine whether this treatment lessened their pain.
manual therapy increased from 78% in 2007 to 94% by 2011, while their use of supervised rehabilitative exercises increased from 85% to 91% during this same period. If you have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, physical therapy offers evidence-based treatment options to help you recover from your pain.
EXERCISES AND MANUAL THERAPY TO LESSEN FOOT PAIN. Your physical therapist may offer a combination of manual therapy and exercises, which have been shown to reduce your pain. These treatment options include calf stretches (A), foot stretches (B), and hands-on therapy (C). For calf stretches, while standing with your foot straight ahead, lean forward and keep your heel on the floor until you feel a stretch sensation in your calf. Perform this stretch first with the back leg straight and then repeat it with the back knee bent. For foot stretches, while seated, grab the base of your toes and pull them toward your shin. Your physical therapist can add manual therapy to your treatment, such as the ankle mobilization shown here.

Europeans And Aborigines In The 1700's
European ships chiefly began sailing into southern Australian waters in the 18th century. These left human cargoes behind and, unlike earlier visitors, had an immediate impact on the Aborigines, who suffered interference with their economy and lifestyle as the colonists sought and secured for themselves good sources of water, sheltered positions, and access to fish—all of which were also vital to Aboriginal people.
The perception that Australia was quietly "settled" without conflict with the Aboriginal people, an idea that, it has been argued, enabled the concept of "terra nullius" to be maintained, has been substantially revised in recent years. It is now generally acknowledged that resistance took place right from the first tentative encroachments by European nations into Australian waters. The Dutch sailed into the Gulf of Carpentaria in 1606 and one Dutch sailor was killed by the Tjungundji (whose hero was the warrior Sivirri). Another Dutch ship visited the area in 1623, but in attempting to kidnap people was met by 200 warriors who drove the sailors away. James Cook, in spite of the popular misconception, also met with some resistance in Botany Bay. Two Tharawal men, after sending away the women and children, stood firm against Cook's landing. According to Cook's account of the incident: "We then threw them some nails, beads etc. ashore which they took up and seem'd not ill pleased in so much that I thought that they beckoned to us to come ashore, but in this we were much mistaken, for as soon as we put the boat in they again came to oppose us upon which I fired a musket between the two which had no other effect than to make them retire back where bundles of their darts lay, and one of them took up a stone and threw at us which caused my firing a second musket load with small shot, and although some of the shot struck the man yet it had no other effect than to make him lay hold of a shield or target to defend himself. Immediately after this we landed which we had no sooner done than they threw two darts at us, this obliged me to fire a third shot soon after which they both made off..." It was no wonder that Cook would later say "all they seemed to want was for us to be gone".
Resistance continued for several years around Sydney from 1788. Pemulwuy was the most famous guerrilla leader (from 1790-1802 when he was shot, decapitated, and his head sent to England), but it is unlikely that he was alone in leading his people in skirmishes and full-scale battles as the colony expanded. Captain Arthur Phillip was himself wounded by a spear at Manly.
Resistance continued all over Australia for over another century, one of the last guerrilla fighters, Jandamarra, being killed in 1897 in the north-west. Jimmy Governor, on the other side of the continent, was hanged in 1901. As is always the case where poorly armed locals are resisting an invasion force of greatly superior strength, the war was mainly fought by guerrilla activity, in the form of...

The goal of the project is the construction of a platform for an intelligent vehicle that serves as a basic platform for the development of a fully autonomous vehicle. ADAS systems (advanced driver assistance systems) monitor the psychological and physical state of the driver and passengers, obstacles and people on the road and make driving easier for the disabled. They also interact with other vehicles and with a control infrastructure.
Simplification of driving for the handicapped through the implementation of mechatronic systems that aid driver commands and through the installation of sensors that can ease driving.
To achieve these objectives, the project brings together a wide range of technologies, sensors, systems and algorithms.
The innovations can be used by the Lombard automotive industrial chains and the ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) market. The technologies being studied by the project can be used in several areas: biomedical for confocal microscopy, spectroscopy of single molecules, DNA sequencing; in industrial applications for the sizing of particles, for optical metrology of electronic circuits, of diagnostic imaging.
Starting with established European standards, including Advanced Driver Assistance (ADAS) and Light Detection and Ranging or Laser Imaging Detection (LIDAR/LADAR), the project aims to integrate them with the paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT).

Part III: Abuse of American Men and castration of Mind and Heart

Would the COL be disappointed if they were unceremoniously thrown out again?
by Preston James
In order to subvert America and transform it from a Representative Republic into a City of London (COL) RKM Globalist slave state, it was determined by the COL Banksters that the American male had to be heavily mind-kontrolled and eventually covertly gelded.
Ben Franklin said we have a republic, if we can keep it
And that all this had to be done in a wide variety of ways over a long period of time. But at the same time it was also realized that the American males had to be adequately mind-kontrolled to be made willing to sacrifice themselves for the COL RKM Banksters, without understanding specifically how or why they were being conned.
This required very sophisticated mind-kontrol to make sure the American Soldiers would fight hard, and also required chemical means to make sure they would not come home after battle and turn on the COL RKM Bankster war machine.
Thus, sophisticated methods have been deployed to make American Soldiers disabled upon their return home, both mentally with PTSD and biologically, with numerous medical disabilities caused by toxic exposures, toxic experimental vaccines and exposure to depleted uranium.
Roundtable planning discussions (secret abject evil beyond imagination).
In their various secret Roundtable planning discussions the top COL RKM Banksters determined that such an effort to geld the American males would have to be accomplished in a number of sophisticated multi-modal ways in order to be successful.
They realized that American male must be mind-kontrolled by sophisticated means to the point he would be willing to become cannon-fodder for the RKM's wars of aggression and acquisition necessary to enrich themselves (the RKM Banksters) as well as their international corporate cronies and then later deconditioned and weakened by various means.
To do this, the American culture would have to be subverted, and this would have to be done through a well laid out plan to subvert the educational system, the churches and the Major Mass Media. Sophisticated military marketing would have to be done to mind-kontrol and deceive the young men of America and make them willing to become sacrificial lambs.
Has the soul of America gone up in flames because of an alliance of politicians, oligarchs, 3-letter warmongering tools, money manipulators, nuke traders and banksters?
This would involve teaching the masses that young American men being wounded and dying for the RKM Banksters is the heroic protection of America and the protection of American Freedom.
In Korea, Vietnam, and all the Mideast wars this has been shown by deep analysis to be one of the biggest lies ever told and accepted by the American people.
The cost of this mind-kontrol on the American male and the American family has been devastating: Hundreds of thousands of needless woundings and disabilities; suicides running as high as 22 per day; all kinds of battlefield damage, including severe Post-traumatic Stress syndrome, strange illnesses due to contaminated unproved vaccines; genetic damage and disabilities from exposure to depleted uranium which was declared unsafe and verboten by the US Army in the 1950s; and neglected and/or poor care at the VA due to fat salaries for notably corrupt cronies.
Of course these horrendously evil things done to the American Soldier were designed to geld him upon return so that he could not rebel against the COL RKM overmasters who hijacked America by bribery and deception in 1913.
Depleted uranium effects
Obviously there is a legitimate need of every nation state to have an army for self-defense.
Every nation needs an Army of it best young men to form the basis of a fighting force to defend their nation against invasion. That is all and good. But when such men are used in mass to fight illegal, unconstitutional wars of aggression and acquisition for the COL RKM Banksters, that is a war crime and treason against America.
The nexus of control of the COL RKM Banksters was established in America in 1913 by traitors in Congress and the presidency.
Obviously this evil processing of the American Soldier has been going on in America since WW1 and was made possible by the COL RKM Banksters being able to hijack the American money creation and distribution system in 1913.
It was then that they bribed Congress and the President to gain passage of the illegal, unconstitutional private Federal Reserve System, a private banks franchisee of the COL RKM Banksters.
Now anyone who thinks that WW2 was different and that it was a war that justified the sacrifice of so many wonderful American young men is uninformed. This war, like WW1 was engineered by the City of London RKM Banksters in advance through numerous complex manipulations.
USS Oklahoma capsized at Pearl harbor
The Top secret 7 year US Navy plan to provoke a war with Japan.
There was a seven year top secret plan by the US Navy to set up Japan and provoke them to strike first. The US Carriers were pulled out of port as the Japanese carrier group approached Pearl harbor.
The US Navy had broken the Japanese Purple Code and knew exactly what their attack plans were and where they were as they approached Pearl harbor. This plan has been de-classified but not publicized much.
The City of London RKM Banksters pre-engineered WW1 as a means to manipulate Germany into deep Fascism and provided Hitler the needed mind-kontrol at Tavistock Institute before the war to make sure he lost his soul and took in evil powers from the Dark side, known as the worship of the Black Sun.
The COL used their Banksters and their franchisees, the large Wall Street banks to finance Bolshevism and unleash it on Russia, one of the biggest mass-murder experiments in mind-kontrol ever conceived by the RKM. Then the COL built up the Nazis as a countermeasure to Bolshevism and used it as a means to draw the USA into this engineered WW2, while using it to set up a "Cold War" with the Soviets later.
Mega-wars to industrialize the world, all for the COL RKM Banksters to Globalize the world and increase their power and profits.
The COL used these engineered mega wars to industrialize the world, especially the USA which was to become their industrial slave state and military arm to be used to start numerous illegal, unconstitutional wars of aggression and profit for the COL RKM Banksters.
But this was not enough. It was necessary to quiet the protests at home in America because We The People were eventually catching on. The CIA deployed LSD and other illegal drugs as an experiment to make the American Youth more touchy-feely and to "tune-in and drop out".
But even this didn't work, and the protests over Vietnam increased, as many vets came home and spilled the beans on "Operation Phoenix", the CIA's Air America and black opium stuffed in American Soldiers dead bodies shipped back to the USA.
But there was more, so much more that leaked out: the secret wars in Laos and Cambodia, and American transport ships making dual stops and unloading ammo and kinetics, in North Vietnam and South Vietnam (all legal in an exception clause under the Trading with the Enemies Act, which allows such trading if it is deduced that the enemy can buy the arms or supplies from another source anyway!).
Fragging becomes a common daily occurrence at the end of the Vietnam War.
It got so bad in Vietnam, many American Soldiers turned to drugs just to cope with the insanity of the jungle warfare and uselessness of the war. Numerous hotshot, hardnosed completely mind-kontrolled new West Point Lieutenants were fragged with a grenade mysteriously logged under their bunk while they slept, attributed to Cong incoming mortar. One whole barracks in Saigon staffed mostly by Black Soldiers rebelled and got into an active firefight with the US Army and Military police.
Martin Luther King learned of all this and began to speak out about the insanity of the war, and was quickly assassinated by Op40 of the CIA, the same crew working under GHWB's direction that assassinated JFK. Finally enough was enough. Heinz Kissinger ran the negotiations with the north Vietnamese after convincing Nixon to attempt to bomb them back into the stone age. It was decided to abandon the south, and thousands of Vietnamese loyal to Americans were left behind to be butchered by the communists.
Admiral Thomas H. Moorer disclosed Operation Tailwind
The Kissinger Settlement, evil beyond comprehension.
As if that wasn't bad enough Kissinger concocted a plan to send in special ops to snipe the POW/MIAs in order to keep them from disclosing the secret wars in Cambodia and Laos and the massive drug trafficking of Operation Whitestar (which sometimes used Nazi designed anti-gravity craft at night).
When the SOG sniper based assassination plan failed, the US Navy activated Operation tailwind, which was disclosed by Admiral Thomas Moorer, to use carrier-based craft to drop VX poisonous gas on the POW camps. The NSA satellite system had identified all of them and had even determined the identification of most of them by name, based on photos and electronic communications spying, as well as paid informants.
Treason at the highest levels determined the fate of POW/MIAs.
Many POW/MIAs were taken to China and Soviet Russia for lethal medical and mind-kontrol experiments. But this was nothing new. After WW2 when the Soviets captured an American POW camp, over 9,000 American Soldiers were transported to the Soviet Union and used for horrendous mind-kontrol, medical experiments and at work camps for general labor.
General Eisenhower, Allied Commander knew this and let it go because he and Truman wanted to get along with Uncle Joe for some obtuse reason, perhaps dictated by the COL RKM. General George Patton knew and wanted to go after them and to stop the mass slaughter of Germans and mass rape of millions of their women and young female children (often infants) by invading Bolshevik savages.
Patton knew that the USG had formed a secret agreement with the top Nazis to give them immunity jobs and bring them to America and wanted a new immediate alliance with the German Army as well so that they could combine forces and invade the Soviet Union and destroy Uncle Joe Stalin's nightmare of human slavery and Godless Bolshevik mass mind-kontrol.
Instead of being allowed to do this, Patton was murder by a "signed finding" of President Truman. Harry Hopkins and other spies made certain that Uncle Joe was given all the Manhattan Project nuclear secrets and plenty of expensive lend-lease war products, which they never repaid as agreed.
Far too many American Soldiers sacrificed on the Alter of the COL RKM as secret Baal worship, all done to obtain more power.
An incredible number of good American Soldiers have been needlessly sacrificed to meet the sick and twisted Satanic sacrifice needs of the City of London RKM Banksters fighting the Bolshevism they created, engineered and deployed in Russia in 1917 and later in China with their puppet Mao after WW2.
But this was not deemed enough to transform America and We The People into a spineless, mind-kontrolled slave state of the COL RKM. The RKM was playing a dangerous game that required keeping the American mass-mind in check through sophisticated mind-kontrol. Why?
Because all their emphasis on training young American soldiers to be hard core killers in combat driven by strong sacrificial American patriotism could easily blow back on them when the soldiers came home, unless the soldiers were given debilitating viruses and exposed to highly toxic chemicals, like carbon-tetrachloride cleaning fluid on ships, highly toxic compounds like Agent Orange with Dioxin, and gene-altering depleted uranium.
But all this was not enough, it was decided in the various COL RKM designed Roundtables, NGOs, non-profit foundations and Think-tanks, that in order to attain their age-old NWO one-world government, they would have to completely Globalize America. To do this they came to the conclusion that the American male would have to be psychologically, emotionally, and chemically gelded.
Various complex Frankensteinian science methodologies were developed at Fort Detrick, Plum Island and in various Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMBs). These included the experimental deployment of the "gay bomb" back in the 1960's, where special trucks sprayed endocrine disrupters, which increased the frequency of hormonally screwed up offspring, producing higher rates of male and female homosexuality.
A sophisticated plan was developed to deploy certain plastics which would serve as power endocrine disrupters, reducing fertility and able to increase sex role confusion and homosexuality in both sexes.
But alas this was not deemed severe enough. A very complex plan was deployed to alter the American culture to help destroy the normal male sex role. Homosexuality would be promoted in Hollywood, high government positions and the Controlled Major Mass Media (CMMM).
Secret closeted homosexuals were recruited and promoted into the highest positions in Hollywood and served as secret attitudinal role models. It was believe this would help geld the American male through inductive means.
Complex chemtrails are now being sprayed with nano-aluminum, other highly toxic chemicals that migrate into the CNS and can be remotely flashed for mass mind-kontrol. Symptoms of recurrent, inappropriate senior moments like difficulties with sort term memory and word-selection are now becoming epidemic even among adults as young as 30 years old from all this.
It was decided that Feminism would be deployed and the CIA selected numerous agents to spread this ideology such as Gloria Steinem who has since admitted she was used by the CIA. When deployed, it helped geld the American male because many women became interested in functioning as men and rejected the classical feminine role.
Of course along the way, men had been culturally stimulated to be abusive to women, which increased their motivation to "become more assertive and more masculine". Now the new norm is for women to dress like men and act like men.
Popular movies depict women breaking out of traditional roles, sometimes with spectacular actions (Photo credit: Thelma and Louise)
And yet even with all this being done, the American male role is on the uptake and making a strong comeback. Much of the credit for this must be given to the Internet, the New Gutenberg Press which has made centuries of knowledge available at one's fingertips.
Advanced search engines have provided the means to connect dots previously denied. It was the Internet that created a monstrous wave of American populism which Trump craftily rode to victory and destroyed the DNC, the RNC and the CMMM.
If Trump turns out to be a COL RKM Zionist stooge, no matter what he or the DNC or RNC does right or wrong will never be able to put the genie back in the bottle. Pandora's box has been opened and populism is now a fact of American life that cannot be stopped. It is growing by the day in strength and reach.
Some inside the COL RKM system have spoken out and leaked what they do because of a change of heart, a guilty conscience, but some have done so to brag about their power.
Some researchers who have studied these disclosures believe that these folks have sold their souls to Lucifer and received a personal spirit guide (consigliore), lots of personal power, riches and fame in exchange as long as they practice periodic pedophilia and child sacrifice to Lucifer.
Undercover FBI and other investigations have suggested pedophilia, sexual and other forms of "human compromise" have entrapped between 39 and 42% of the male members of Congress, and some recent estimates are that as high as 70% of DC politicians and appointed officials are thus entrapped.
Video-graphed Honey traps are now a way of life in DC and most major cities for politicians and big corporate leaders.
Now that all this is coming to light thanks to the Internet, just ask yourself this question. How long will We The People sit back and let these soulless human parasites destroy our Culture, nation and borders, as well as our youth?
My best guess is that now, with all the disclosures of this publicly on the Internet's Alternative media, not too much longer. It seems to me that the Globalist NWO folks have been dealt a serious blow, and if We The People keep the pressure on at all levels, they may never be able to put their NWO Humpty Dumpty back together. But be certain that these unimaginably evil COL RKM Globalists will try to regroup and retake lost ground. Don't let them gain anything back.

By Education in Chemistry2007-11-01T00:00:00+00:00
Franziska Bell, chemistry graduate from the University of York, wins Best Chemistry Student prize at this year's Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) Awards
Franziska Bell, chemistry graduate from the University of York, wins the World Leadership Forum Award for Best Chemistry Student at this year's Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) Awards. Bell collected her award trophy at a gala awards dinner attended by hundreds of leading scientists, industrialists, and teachers and policy makers from the world of higher education, at Alexandra Palace in London in September.
The SET awards, which have become known as the 'oscars' of British science education, are designed to raise the profile of SET subjects in the UK. They are judged by professional SET bodies and supported by global industrial and pharmaceutical companies. The competition recognises the achievements of outstanding SET undergraduates in their final-year research projects, and people likely to be the best ambassadors for their profession. Students are initially assessed on the basis of a written report and citation from their research supervisors, and finally by a panel of judges.
Representatives from the Royal Society of Chemistry judged the chemistry prize. Bell was chosen for her project in Dr Peter Karadakov's group in theoretical chemistry at York University. Using computational methods, Bell showed how functional groups in toluidene blue modified the way this molecule interacts with light. She was then able to predict the nature and position of additional functional groups that would transform the dye into a promising anticancer agent.
Karadakov told Education in Chemistry, 'Throughout her degree at York, Bell has been one of the best undergraduates I have come across in my teaching career. She has an impressive knowledge of mathematics, which extends beyond what we teach to our chemistry undergraduates. Her project is an innovative application of advanced computational chemistry methods to drug design. Its successful completion required knowledge of quantum chemistry and computer programs at a level that is normally achievable by PhD students in their first year'.
Addicted to chemistry
Bell admits to being bitten by the chemistry bug at a very early age. She attended a specialist music high school in Austria, and says it was her chance involvement in the Chemistry Olympiad competition which proved to be an inspiration. She found herself mixing with people who were as passionate about chemistry as she was. The competition also provided her with the opportunity to do real hands-on chemistry in the lab, something she would not have done otherwise in an Austrian school at that age. 'I did some very complex syntheses, which I really enjoyed', she told Education in Chemistry, 'and began to see the connection between the theory and the practical. In chemistry you never learn anything for no particular reason. It's like a giant puzzle, and the more you learn and understand, the more the whole picture fits together. And for me that's the exciting bit'.
Hooked on chemistry, Bell decided to do her chemistry degree in an English-speaking country because, she says, 'I realised that with all the major journals, books and conferences in English I would end up having to re-learn everything in English anyway, and I was aware of the good reputation of universities in the UK'. She was drawn to the chemistry department at York because of its tutorial system, which gave her the 'opportunity to ask myriad questions in an open and encouraging atmosphere'. Over the four-year course she gravitated towards computational chemistry - because this satisfied her appetite to be involved with a broad range of chemical topics and her second love, mathematics.
Bell moved to the University of California in Berkeley in the autumn to study for a PhD under theoretical chemist Professor Martin Head-Gordons.
The two other chemistry finalists were Josephine Corsi from the University of Southampton for her project on the transcription of DNA within lyotropic liquid crystals, and Jennifer Kan from the University of Cambridge for her project on the development of a natural product-inspired cascade cyclisation.

Bankside Restaurants celebrate 5 years with charity ball
London SE1 website team
To celebrate five years in business Bankside Restaurants will be hosting a fundraising ball, organised in partnership with Speed Select, with all proceeds going to Action for Blind People.
The event will also help the charity raise awareness of World Sight Day, which focuses attention on global blindness.
Bankside SE1 opened in Summer 2000 on the corner of Sumner Street and Southwark Bridge Road.
The event will take place on 12 October at Bankside's new restaurant in EC2. The evening will include a charity auction, where a professional auctioneer from leading auction house Christies will start the bidding. Guests will be welcomed by a champagne reception followed by a three course meal with wine and entertainment.
"I would like to say a big thank you to Bankside for having Action as its charity partner and helping to raise significant funds for such a worthwhile cause," said Joanna Hall, corporate development team leader at Rotherhithe-based Action for Blind People.
Action for Blind People is dedicated to providing a service to over 20,000 blind and partially sighted people across the UK every year, to enable them to transform their lives through work, housing, leisure and support. Funding is vital to keep all of Action's services running.
Joanna continued: "It is shocking that every 5 seconds one person goes blind and a child goes blind every minute. World Sight Day is supported by organisations around the world who are all working in partnership to eliminate avoidable blindness by the year 2020. Action for Blind People recognises the importance in supporting this special day."
In light of their on-going commitment to corporate social responsibility, Bankside is an award-winning restaurant and was named the 2004 Business in the Community Small Company of the Year.
"We take our corporate social responsibility very seriously," said Kelvin Macdonald, owner and MD of Bankside. "We believe that a restaurant is part of the community and should therefore aim to have a positive impact within it. As a long-term partner with Action for Blind People we are committed to supporting them in helping enable blind and partially sighted people get equal choice."
Speed Select who offer free independent services to help businesses find software, as well as offering professional marketing advice to businesses with little in-house expertise, are also supporting Action for Blind People through their involvement with the ball.
• tickets can be purchased at £40 a head – call Bankside on 0845 226 0011.

Lockdown Heroes: Himachal Pradesh Man Designs Face Shields To Protect Corona Warriors
Dorjee started with his village healthcare centre and now distributes these shields free across the state
V. Kumara Swamy Updated: Apr 27, 2020 22:25:05 IST

Wangdue Dorjee says that he was tired of hearing complaints from people about the novel coronavirus, the threats it poses and how India is ill-prepared to tackle it. "They spoke about the shortfall of beds, personal protection kits (PPEs), medicines, ventilators, even as our doctors and other frontline workers carried on with their jobs with what they had," says the 40-year-old from Bir in Himachal Pradesh's Kangra district.
Merely mulling over shortcomings and not doing anything himself was not an option for Dorjee. "It is our hour of crisis and I felt that I should contribute in a way that would help the people on the frontline," he tells Reader's Digest from Bir.
A start-up owner belonging to the Tibetan community, Dorjee says that he started with a few ideas and zeroed in on making face shields for paramedics, nurses, doctors, police and others.
"I did a bit of research on the internet and learnt how to make these shields from YouTube videos and other sources. I had to improvise because I could work only with what was available to me," he says. That's the reason why the primary material for the first lot of his shields came from soft drink plastic bottles.
"From the very beginning, I intended to make these shields for our corona warriors. People like me and you can stay at home, practise social distancing and wear masks. Our warriors, though, need greater protection as they deal with potential COVID-19 carriers," he says.
The face shield, according to Dorjee, provides full-face protection and fits well on any adult's face. They are designed to guard against any fluid particles entering from the outside. "My shields are not clinically tested but if you see the design, you will find that they are pretty effective. Medical professionals are happy with them," he says.

Initially, he distributed the shields among the local health centre workers, including doctors, and they appreciated them. As he started distributing them in larger numbers in the area, enquiries started pouring in from different parts of the district. These shields are distributed free, and Dorjee says that he has used up his own funds that he had reserved for his start-up called Tibet Foods.
As he looked around for better material to make the shields, he convinced the local officials to allow him to travel. He was able to get curfew passes to go to Palampur, 30 kilometres northwest of Bir, to obtain lamination sheets of superior quality, which are durable—and he stopped using plastic bottles. "That made my life easy. I could also produce more with lamination sheets," he says. He has distributed more than one thousand shields so far.
Local organizations have now stepped in to contribute to the project he calls, 'Salute to Heroes'. One of these organizations is the Tibetan Khampa Industrial Society based in Himachal Pradesh, is sharing material and volunteers with him. "Now with more volunteers joining in and with a few more resources, we will be in a position to produce more shields per day and transport them to many more parts of the state and also outside it," he says.
Even the state government has heard of Dorjee's face shields. Recently, Himachal Pradesh minister Govind Singh Thakur asked him to produce more of these so that they can be distributed in Mandi, Kullu, and Kangra districts.
"The fight has to continue until the virus is defeated, and every citizen has to pitch in," Dorjee says.

A fascination with natural light and a passion with nature, landscape and travel underpin Chris Coe's photography. His images often have a striking simplicity and graphic quality. More recent work has introduced a subtlety with experimentation with both movement and light.
Since turning professional in 1992, Chris's photography has included landscapes, people, travel, wildlife, architecture and gardens around the world. This ability and desire to capture such a diverse range of subjects and explore different types of photography is rare amongst photographers, but demonstrate his understanding of light. Chris finds shooting different subjects and styles both visually stimulating and creatively challenging.
Chris has written several books on photography and mentors photographers on a one-to-one basis. He also runs Photo Iconic and Travel Photographer of the Year courses, workshops and photo tours internationally. His passion for teaching and helping other photographers to develop their skills is a large part of Chris's motivation and his clear, concise, hands-on practical approach has helped many photographers to realise their potential and take them to the next level.
Fujifilm, Adobe and Apple are amongst the many companies he's lectured for. He has also presented photographic features for TV and appeared on both TV and radio discussion panels.
Say...
I would highly recommend joining Chris Coe on any teaching or holiday you can to improve your photography and enjoy new adventures. I was lucky enough to join this exceptional photographer, on the Wild Atlantic Coast of Ireland. Chris has the patience of Jobe with everyone, which was especially important for me a newbie with a 'proper camera'. Anyone would be lucky just to have Chris teach them, but to experience the wonders of the camera in this outstanding location was extraordinary.

1 - 2Days
Your Arctic expedition will begin in the Scottish city of Aberdeen where after arriving independently you can make your way to your hotel for your included overnight stay. You may wish to arrive a couple of days early to allow time to sample some of the highlights of this "granite city" that is renowned for its culture and architecture.
On the morning of day 2 you will have some free time to see more of the city before transferring to the port to board your ship and settle in to your comfortable surroundings. As we set sail you may wish to spend some time on deck looking for the minke whales, harbour porposies and white-beaked and bottlenose dolphins that are often found in the waters around here. Your experienced expedition crew will brief you on what's ahead as you embark on your Arctic adventure.
The first stop on our expedition will bring us to Fair Isle, the UK's most remote inhabited island where we will spend the day discovering the island's rugged beauty. The diverse landscape of imposing seaside cliffs, natural caves and moors is a delight to explore and despite its small size there will be plenty here to interest lovers of history, nature, photography and wildlife. The coastal cliffs teeming with birdlife play host to Atlantic puffins, Northern fulmars, guillemots, kittiwakes and storm petrels amongst many other species, while the waters often attract seals and even orcas. The museum is also well worth a visit here, and don't forget to pick up a famous Fair Isle sweater to keep you warm in the colder climes to come.
Our next stop brings us to the beautiful unspoiled landscapes of the Faroe Islands where we will enjoy 2 days of exploration and learning all about the islands' storied past. This seldom-visited archipelago lies midway between Iceland and Scotland and is made up of 18 rugged islands which host dramatic scenery, abundant birdlife and a rich history.
Our first day will be spent among the fjords and narrow sounds of the outer islands of the archipelago where dramatic cliffs and lush valleys surround picturesque villages and colourful turf-roofed houses. The activities for today will be dependent on weather and sea conditions but we should expect plenty of time to explore around and search for more sightings of the iconic Atlantic puffin.
On our second day we plan to visit picturesque Tórshavn, one of the world's smallest capitals. Here you can spend the day wandering through the maze of narrow laneways of the Old Town which are home to quaint wooden homes, relaxing by the charming harbour with a glass of wine in one of the pretty cafes and pubs, or enjoying a hike up to the historic fort which will reward in beautiful views over the port.
At Sea & Jan Mayen
Over the course of the next four days we will be sailing north towards your next stops on this exciting itinerary. Take the time to relax and enjoy the comforts of your expedition ship, watch a movie, sip on a cocktail from the bar or take advantage of the free time and collate the many pictures you will no doubt have taken in Spitsbergen. You can join interesting presentations and talks about the wildlife and history of Greenland, whilst on deck the nature experts onboard can help you to identify the seabirds that follow the ship.
Eventually we will reach the location of our next adventure…the wild, mysterious and remote volcanic island of Jan Mayen. This impressive nature reserve deep in the North Atlantic Ocean is in fact so remote that very few people have ever been lucky enough to enjoy an exploration here. Weather permitting, we hope to spend two days here enjoying exciting Zodiac cruises for close-up views of the breathtaking Beerenberg volcano and shore visits in search of the island's abundant birdlife. The birding enthusiasts among us will be on the lookout for the glaucous gulls, Brünnich's guillemots, kittiwakes, northern fulmars and little auks that are found in great numbers on this BirdLife International designated Important Bird Area.
Today you can enjoy another relaxing day at sea as we continue our sail far north towards Spitsbergen. Your expedition team will brief you on what's ahead, including bio-diversity guidelines for your time on the island and what to expect in terms of wildlife observations and shore adventure.
11 - 13Days
Southwest Spitsbergen
Welcome to spectacular Spitsbergen, the largest of the islands in the Svalbard archipelago, an area teeming with abundant wildlife and stunning scenery. You will cruise along the glaciers and fjords of the southwest coast in search of sightings of polar bear, walrus, reindeer and various whales. Birding here is fantastic with likely sightings of Arctic terns, skuas, long-tailed ducks, kittiwakes, little auks and the rare ivory gull. Our itinerary here will be flexible and dependent on weather and ice conditions but there will be ample opportunities to get up close to Spitsbergen's diverse landscapes of immense glaciers, Polar deserts and surprisingly colourful tundra.
Expected landing sites here include Hornsund, Isbjornhamna and Bellsund amongst others. Zodiac cruises, hikes, and visits to historical sites and known wildlife hotspots will fill your days and your cameras as you explore around this "wildlife capital of the Arctic."
Arrival into Longyearbyen, the administrative capital of Svalbard, will signal the end of our Arctic expedition. You may wish to extend your trip with a stay in this unique Arctic town and a transfer can be provided to a central downtown location or to the airport for your onward or homeward flights. Various Arctic adventures are available here so please feel free to ask for details and options for extending your stay.

Superlatives abound – a truly amazing experience...awesome. Thanks to all for making it such a memorable experience.
We have just returned from our Spitsbergen trip with Wildfoot and had to tell you what an amazing time we had! We saw 6 polar bears including a mother with 2 cubs as well as whales, walruses and lots of birds. The ship (Expedition) was really comfortable and the guides were so helpful and friendly. Thank you so much for making it all so easy.
I came to Wildfoot because a friend had booked with you when you were Antarctica Bound and they were right. Everything went perfectly, even when our flight was cancelled, you made sure we still made it to the ship with time to spare. L'Austral is a beautiful ship with first class service and food and the guides looked after us well. Very happy to recommend Wildfoot and L'Austral...
We had always wanted to see the Arctic and travelling all the way from Australia needed lots of information. After getting nowhere, we came across Wildfoot and found people who knew what they were talking about! Sara and John were so helpful and made the process easy, suggesting Iceland Greenland and Spitsbergen. This was perfect for us – amazing scenery and lots of wildlife, especially the polar bears in Spitsbergen. Thanks for everything. Ps, the ship was great too!
Just wanted to say thank you for suggesting a trip to Franz Josef Land as something different for the Arctic. We had a super trip and really enjoyed the Sea Spirit. Galapagos next!
Standing on the North Pole has been an ambition of mine since childhood and now I have done it! Thank you for making the process so easy - seeing polar bears and whales too was a real bonus.
The Sea Spirit expedition was excellent and the team organising it all were extremely good. 10 out of 10. Everything went very smoothly. The Iceland extension worked perfectly, all the organisation, connections etc. were excellent
The cruise was beyond my expectations. Got to see everything the captain wanted, even a polar bear mother with three cubs. Coal Miners Cabins were smashing. I did loads of birding and exploring over three days. All the people were great from the expedition leaders down to the passengers. So glad to have achieved my ambition of some 50 years standing and got amongst the ice of the Arctic, walked amongst it's islands and witnessed the antics of its wonderful wildlife. What's next??? I'll need to speak with Sara again.
Thanks so much for enabling me to get to places I had always wanted to see from a very young age. "Ace" as my boys used to say!
Just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you very much for all your help in arranging our recent trip to Svalbard. Everything ran smoothly and the trip was a great success. Unfortunately I had to flew back a few days early and missed out on Isfjord Radio, which the rest of the team said was a brilliant place with amazing food, still the Basecamp Hotel and Nordenskiold Lodge were pretty amazing places, so I'm not complaining!
Writing back to tell you that the trip to the Arctic was all that it promised and more. It was a great wild-life sightseeing opportunity and the staff were really good.I had an excellent trip and have thousands of photos to go through.
I had an absolutely fabulous time won the Sergey Vavilov, it is an excellent ship. Sara was indeed right in her recommendation that they would be the most likely to push north into the ice to find the polar bears. We even circumnavigated Spitsbergen which was awesome and not o n the itinerary.It is such a wonderful way to take a trip when you are on your own – so if any of your potential single clients are unsure, definitely recommend it – I didn't feel alone from the moment I stepped on board. I will be at the Birdfair next weekend and so will catch up with whoever is there – regarding this trip, and potentially my next!
Great cruise, staff and expedition team. Had a great trip.
We had a wonderful time, even though we didn't do all the places we were supposed to but we all felt were we went instead couldn't beaten. Saw animals I wanted to see. Bit worried what the food was like as some of the ships cooking leaves something to be desired, but food was very good. We thought all the guides were brilliant and informative, friendly and knowledgeable It was far better than we expected and even my husband thoroughly enjoyed it!
I wanted to let you know that I had a wonderful cruise in the Russian Far East. The landscape and destination were inspiring, we had some excellent wildlife sightings (sea otter, grey whale, Steller's sea eagle, snowy owl and Arctic fox were all firsts for me), and the Heritage team were superb. Rough seas forced a few changes to the itinerary but we also had some fabulous weather. All in all, a thrilling travel experience.Thanks once again for all your efforts
I thought you might like to know that this was an excellent holiday. Our guide, Brad, was absolutely wonderful, his enthusiasm and knowledge made the holiday even better. All in all the whole trip was excellent and we saw lots of bears, 24 on the first day. Fewer on the second and third days but still plenty, as well as arctic foxes,silver foxes and snowy owls. Even on the last day near the town we saw a bear on rocks by the beach.
What a great trip! Wildfoot built a great trip for us and every aspect was spot on. Our Iguazu guide was fun, interesting and helpful and all the transfers were timely and comfortable. The Antarctica Trip was superb - WIldfoot had given us the best advice and helped us choose the right ship and tour for what we wanted - A truly memorable Experience Thank You Wildfoot

Sigma announces new 24-70mm for E and L-mount
by Bryan Esler
Overnight, Sigma announced the launch of its 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art zoom lens for full-frame cameras.
Available in an E-mount and L-mount, this lens is the second newly-designed Art zoom lens, featuring a large f/2.8 aperture. The release follows the debut of the 14-24 f/2.8 DG DN Art zoom lens for mirrorless cameras.
Key features include best-in-class optical performance. By employing three aspheric lenses, the 24-70mm f/2.8 subdues aberrations, tailors the resolution and achieves uniformity and superior optical performance from the center to the periphery throughout the zoom range. It has a Super Multi-Layer Coating as well as Sigma's Nano Porous Coating, to achieve high-contrast and clear image quality. This results in a higher-quality image and a lens designed to be less affected by strong incident light, such as flare.
The lens features a dust and splash-proof body, as well as a zoom lock mechanism. The maximum magnifications are 1:2.9 at 24mm, and 1:4.5 at 70mm. The minimum focusing distance is 18 cm at 24mm.
Additional features include a locking lens hood, available mount conversion service, evaluation with Sigma's A1 MTF measuring system, 11-blade rounded diaphragm and a high-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount.
The lens will be available in mid-November. Pricing will be announced at a later date.

Structured Data wins IT projects with Danish consulting firm.
Structured Data Systems Ltd.'s work for a Danish consulting company underscores how the growing reputation of Bangladeshi IT firms as outsourcing destinations is translating into projects and a better bottom line.
The company hired Structured Data to develop an iPhone application, as well as to create the server back-end and a website to accompany it. Within weeks of beginning its work, the Danish firm approached Structured Data with a 'repair' job involving iPhone and Android applications.
Structured Data was selected because of a similar project the Dhaka-based company had worked on for iPhone and Android devices along with the server work, said A.K.M. Golam Murshed, Senior Project Manager at Structured Data.
Structured Data followed its standard operating procedure while working with its Danish client, Murshed said. This involved first helping the company formulate a specification document for the application it wanted, then providing a budget and schedule for the development.
'Once that was approved, we kept in contact with the client on a weekly to bi-weekly basis using Skype. Due to the nature of this project, we provide our releases in short development sprints, with the client providing feedback and us changing the application accordingly,' Murshed said, adding that his company sent monthly invoices for payment to stick as close as possible to its initial budget.
Structured Data expects to wrap up work on the initial iPhone application shortly and will then develop the server backend and the website. Structured Data is eager to continue its relationship with its new customer and expects other projects with the Danish company to follow in the coming months, said Murshed, adding, 'so far the client seems very satisfied with the quality and timeliness of the work we are providing'.


4 carrots, scrubbed clean, skins on, cut into rough chunks NOTE: You can also use butternut squash in addition or in place of carrots.
NOTE: If parsnips are not in season or readily available, get creative and substitute white sweet potato, rutabaga, or orange sweet potato (yam) cut into small cubes.
cook beforehand. Use cooking water as part of the water in this recipe.
NOTE: You can make it with white beans as well or a combination of pinto and white beans.
NOTE: If you don't rinse quinoa VERY well, it will be bitter. I soak mine 2–4 hours and then place in sieve and use the faucet sprayer and rinse the heck out of it with cold water several times...that does the trick. Occasionally I can find a sprouted quinoa-wild rice-brown rice organic mix, that does not need rinsing or soaking and obviously has more health and digestion benefits because it's sprouted.
Place coconut oil to heat in a large soup pot over medium/high heat.
Sauté over low heat, approx. 5 minutes, stirring often until slightly brown.
Add carrots, celery and parsnips. Cook 5–7 minutes until tender.
About 7–10 minutes before serving stir in the kale and zucchini.
Garlic: The allicin in raw, crushed garlic has been shown to kill 23 types of bacteria, including Salmonella and Staphylococcus. Heated garlic gives off another compound, diallyl disulphideoxide, which has been shown to lower serum cholesterol by preventing clotting in the arteries. Vitamins in garlic, such as A, B, and C, stimulate the body to fight carcinogens and get rid of toxins, and may even aid in preventing certain types of cancer, such as stomach cancer. Garlic's sulfur compounds can regulate blood sugar metabolism, stimulate and detoxify the liver, and stimulate the blood circulation and the nervous system.
Carrots: Carrots are actually considered a vessel for Vitamin A— they contain a large amount of vitamin A. Additionally, they're rich with vitamin C, E, B6, K and many more. Celery: This veggie provides an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber. It is a very good source of folic acid, potassium, and vitamins B1 and B6. Celery also offers a good source of vitamin B2 and calcium. Even though celery contains more sodium than most other vegetables, the sodium is offset by its high levels of potassium. Celery contains phytochemical compounds known as coumarins—studies show they are effective in cancer prevention and capable of enhancing the activity of certain white blood cells. Coumarin compounds also lower blood pressure, tone the vascular system, and are credited as effective when used in cases of migraines. Due to the high levels of potassium and sodium, when celery-based juices are consumed after a workout they serve as great electrolyte replacement drinks. Studies show celery may help to lower cholesterol and prevent cancer by improving detoxification.
Parsnips: Contain a wide variety of vitamins, minerals and nutrients, and an excellent source of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber, folate, potassium and vitamin C. Adequate fiber helps reduce blood cholesterol levels, obesity and constipation or sluggish elimination. They also contain many polyacetylene antioxidants—research found these compounds possess antiinflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-cancer functions and offer protection from colon cancer.
Pinto Beans: These beans are a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals. One cup of pinto beans provides one quarter of the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of protein for adults. Supplementing the protein of pinto beans with quinoa provides all the essential amino acids. Because beans contain soluble fiber, they can lower blood cholesterol and are a good source of energy and the B vitamins—thiamin, riboflavin and niacin— which are necessary for growth and tissue building. Minerals found in pinto beans include calcium, phosphorus, potassium and iron, all essential to good health.
Quinoa: Considered a "superfood," it's one of the most proteinrich foods AND is Gluten-FREE. It contains almost twice as much fiber as other grains as well as iron, lysine, magnesium, riboflavin (B2) and a high content of manganese. Contains powerful bioactive substances like quercetin and kaempferol— important molecules shown to have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-cancer and anti-depressant effects.
Lemon: Known for its therapeutic properties for generations, lemon helps strengthen immune functions, cleanse the stomach and is considered a blood purifier. In addition, it is credited as a remedy for kidney stones, reducing strokes and lowering body temperature. It contains vitamins C, B6, A, E, folate, niacin thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, copper, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus and protein. Lemon has an alkalizing effect and, therefore, helps ward off abnormal cell growth because viruses, fungus, and bacteria can't survive/ thrive in an alkaline environment.
Rosemary—Credited for its ability to boost memory, improve mood, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, protect immune functions, stimulate circulation, detoxify, protect from bacterial infections, prevent premature aging, and heal skin conditions.
Thyme—Packed with health-enhancing phyto-nutrients, minerals and vitamins essential for overall wellness. It contains thymol, scientifically found to have antiseptic and anti-fungal properties. It is the herb with the highest antioxidant levels among herbs. It is a rich source of potassium, iron, calcium, manganese, magnesium, and selenium, B-complex vitamins, beta-carotene, vitamin A, K, E, C and folic acid.
Marjoram—An aromatic herb, relative to the mint family. Packed with antioxidants, and vitamins A, C, iron and calcium. It's credited for enhancing digestion by increasing digestive enzymes and saliva.
Improves blood cholesterol, loaded with saturated fats (raises HDL—good—cholesterol), increases energy, helps lower blood sugar, contains lauric acid known to kill bacteria-viruses-fungi, is a natural appetite suppressant, its fatty acids can boost brain function especially in those with dementia and Alzheimer's by providing the needed ketones (energy source for malfunctioning cells).
Natural Sea Salt—Salt is essential for life and an important component in the human diet. Sodium is a nutrient that the body cannot manufacture but which is required for life itself. Sodium is easily absorbed and is active in the absorption of other nutrients in the small intestine. It helps regulate water balance, pH, and is important in nerve conduction.
Black Pepper—Black pepper stimulates the taste buds in such a way that an alert is sent to the stomach to increase hydrochloric acid secretion, thereby improving digestion. Hydrochloric acid is necessary for the digestion of proteins and other food components in the stomach. When the body's production of hydrochloric acid is insufficient, food may sit in the stomach for an extended period of time, leading to heartburn, indigestion and a slow bowel transit time. Black pepper has demonstrated impressive antioxidant and antibacterial effects—yet another way in which this wonderful seasoning promotes the health of the digestive tract. And not only does black pepper help you derive the most benefit from your food, the outer layer of the peppercorn stimulates the breakdown of fat cells, keeping you slim while giving you energy to burn.

Q: Is it possible to create a reflect.Type of an Interface with custom methods? I want to define an interface's properties in reflect.Type for serialization/deserialization purposes. I've looked and there doesn't seem to be an InterfaceOf([]*Methods) function (analogous to StructOf).
My ultimate goal is to serialize and deserialize a reflect.Type using protobufs. I need to be able to recreate a function using FuncOf where one of the parameters is an interface.
Say I have a function with the signature func foo(x interface{bar()}), I can do:
reflect.TypeOf(f)        // func(interface { main.t() })
// and
reflect.TypeOf(f).In(0)  // interface { main.t() }

but I can't build that description. I can get the empty interface type:
itf := reflect.TypeOf((*interface{})(nil)).Elem() // interface{}
// and
FuncOf([]reflect.Type{itf}, []reflect.Type{}, false)

I see this issue which suggests that what I'm looking to do isn't possible but I was hoping there is some work around for my use case.
