Body Fluids

Body Water Content
Factors which determine the overall water weight of a human being include sex, age, mass and body fat percentage. Infants, with their low bone mass and low body fat, are 73% water! Due to the high concentration of water, an infants skin appears "dewy" and soft. Total body water declines after infancy, and by the team one reaches old age, total body water is only about 45%.
The average young man is around 60% water, while a healthy young woman is about 50%. This is because women typically have less skeletal muscle and more fat than males. Adipose (fat) tissue is the least hydrated tissue in the body (20% hydrated), even bone contains more water than fat. In contrast, skeletal muscle contains 75% water. So, the more muscles one has, the higher the total body water % will be.
Fluid Compartments
There are two main fluid compartments water occupies in the body. About two-thirds is in the intracellular fluid compartment (ICF). The intracellular fluid is the fluid within the cells of the body.
The remaining one-third of body water is outside cells, in the extracellular fluid compartment (ECF). The ECF is the body's internal environment and the cells external environment.
Exchange of gases, nutrients, water, and wastes between the three fluid compartments of the body.
In the image above, the ECF compartment is divisible in two compartments: (1) Plasma, the fluid portion of blood (you may need to use this equipment to extract it from the other blood componants in a laboratory), and (2) interstitial fluid (IF), the fluid in the spaces between tissue cells. It has been known that human plasma has a significantly longer shelf life than blood which is why it can be more sought after for those that need it as part of their treatment.
Composition of body fluids
Electrolytes and Nonelectrolytes
Nonelectrolytes have bonds (usually covalent bonds) that prevent them from disassociating in a solution. Because of this, no electrically charged species are created when nonelectrolytes dissolve in water. Most nonelectrolytes are organic molecules — lipids, glucose, urea, creatinine, for example.
In contrast, electrolytes are chemical compounds that do disassociate into ions in water. Since ions are charged particles, they can conduct an electrical current — that's why they're called electrolytes! For the most part, electrolytes include organic salts, some proteins, and both organic and inorganic acids and bases.
Electrolytes have much greater osmotic power than nonelectrolytes because each electrolyte molecule disassociates into at least two ions. For instance, a molecule of sodium chloride (NaCl) contributes twice as many solute particles as glucose, and a molecule of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) contributes three times as many.
Regardless of the type of solute particle, water always moves according to osmotic gradients — from an area of lesser osmolarity to an area of greater osmolarity. For this reason, electrolytes have the greatest ability to cause fluid shifts.
The major fluid compartments of the body
Electrolyte concentrations of body fluids are usually expressed in milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L), a measure of the number of electrical charges in one liter of solution. We can compute the concentration of any solution using the following equation: mEq/L = ion concentration (mg/L) divided by the atomic weight of the ion (mg/mmol) X the number of electrical charges on the ion. For instance to calculate the mEq/L of sodium we would determine the normal concentration of the ion in plasma, look up its atomic weight in the periodic table and plug the values into the equation: Na+ (sodium) = 3300 mg/L divided by 23 mg/mmol X 1 = 143 mEq/L. We could do the same thing for calcium: Ca2+ = 100 mg/L divided by 40 mg/mmol X 2 = 5 mEq/L.
Comparison of Extracellular and Intracellular Fluids
If you look at the bar graph above you can see that each fluid compartment has a distinctive pattern of electrolytes. Beside the relatively high protein content in plasma, the extracellular fluids are very similar. The chief cation is sodium and the major anion is chloride. However, plasma contains fewer chloride molecules than interstitial fluid, because non-penetrating protein molecules are usually anions and plasma is electrically neutral. In contrast to extracellular fluid, intracellular fluid contains only small amounts of sodium and chloride. It's most abundant cation is potassium, and its major anion is hydrogen phosphate. In the graph above, notice that sodium and potassium ion concentrations in ECF and ICF are nearly opposite. The distribution of these ions on the two sides of cellular membranes reflects the activity of cellular ATP-dependant sodium-potassium pumps, which keep intracellular sodium concentrations low and potassium concentrations high. Renal mechanisms can enforce ion distribution by secreting potassium into the filtrate as sodium is reabsorbed from the filtrate.
Electrolytes are the most abundant solutes in body fluids and determine most of their chemical and physical reactions, but they do not constitute the bulk of dissolved solutes in these fluids. Proteins and nonelectrolytes (phospholipids, cholesterol, and triglyceride) found in the ECF are large molecules. They account for around 90% of the mass of dissolved solutes in plasma and 60% in the IF, and 97% in the ICF.
Fluid Movement Among Compartments
Osmotic and Hydrostatic pressures regulate the continuous exchange and mixing of body fluids. Although water moves freely between the compartments along osmotic gradients, solutes are unequally distributed because of their size, electrical charge, or dependence on transport proteins. The image at the top of this article summarizes the exchanges of gases, solutes, and water between the three fluid compartments within the body. In general, substances must pass through both the plasma and interstitial fluid to reach the intracellular fluid. In the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and kidneys, exchanges between the outside world and the plasma o

ccur continuously. These exchanges alter plasma composition and volume, with plasma serving as the "highway" for delivering substances throughout the body. Compensating adjustments between the plasma and the other two fluid compartments follow quickly so that balance is restored.
Let's review the movement of water and solutes across the boundaries between these compartments:
Exchanges between plasma and interstitial fluid occur across capillary walls. The hydrostatic pressure of blood forces nearly protein-free plasma out of the blood into the interstitial space. The filtered fluid is then almost completely reabsorbed into the bloodstream in response to the colloid osmotic pressure of plasma proteins. Under normal circumstances, lymphatic vessels pick up the small net leakage that remains behind in the interstitial space and return it to the blood.
Exchanges between the interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid occur across plasma membranes. Exchanges across the plasma membrane depend on its permeability properties. As a general rule, two-way osmotic flow of water is substantial. But ion fluxes are restricted and, in most cases, ions move selectively, by active transport or through channels. Movements of nutrients, respiratory gases, and wastes are typically unidirectional (both ways). For instance, glucose and oxygen move into the cells and metabolic wastes move out.
Many factors can change ECF and ICF volumes. Because water moves freely between compartments, however, the osmolarities of all body fluids are equal. Increasing the ECF solute content (mainly sodium chloride) causes osmotic and volume changes in the ICF — generally, a shift of water out of cells. Conversely, decreasing ECF osmolarity causes water to move into the cells. Thus, ECF solute concentration determines ICF volume.

Amber Leighton is 40: beautiful, rich, spoiled, foul-mouthed and arrogant beyond measure. Nothing makes this woman happy, including her wealthy but passive husband, Tony, a pharmaceutical kingpin.
The story revolves around unrelated pairs of people who spend time in karaoke bars across the United States in the week leading up to a big contest in Omaha.
Donna Jensen is a girl from a small town in Nevada who wishes to see the world in order to get away from her unhappy life of living in a trailer with her alcoholic mother, a former Las Vegas showgirl, and her abusive, alcoholic stepfather, where she feels miserable and lonely. After graduating from high school, Donna tries to make ends meet by working as a clerk in a Big Lots.
In Post-WW2 London, a young woman, Jean Paget, is informed by solicitor Noel Strachan that she has a large inheritance. Asked what she wants to do, Jean decides to travel to Malaya to build a well in a small village.
The story is told from the point of view of Fiona (Jeni Courtney), a young girl who is sent to live with her grandparents in an Irish fishing village.
In Chicago's O'Hare airport, advertising executive Buddy Amaral (Ben Affleck) is delayed by a snow storm for a return flight to Los Angeles, on the same airline he has just signed as a big client. He meets writer Greg Janello (Tony Goldwyn), and when his flight resumes boarding, Buddy gives his ticket to Greg so he can get home to his sons, Scott (Alex D. Linz) and Joey (David Dorfman). Buddy convinces his friend and airline employee Janice Guerrero (Jennifer Grey) to allow Greg to take his place on the flight. While spending the night with fellow stranded passenger Mimi (Natasha Henstridge), Buddy sees on television that the flight crashed. He has Janice check into the computer system to remove his name from the passenger manifest and add Greg's name.


English Abstract: The paper proposes the problem reduction graph (PRG), an abstract model for discrete optimization problems which uses structural decomposition to reduce problem complexity and constructs the recurrence relations between the problem and its subproblems. We develop several important algorithm patterns for PRG construction, each leading to a special class of concrete problem-solving algorithms in a systematic way. The model supports logical transformation from specifications to algorithmic programs by deductive inference, and thus significantly promotes the automation and reusability of algorithm design. © 2010 IEEE.

A seven-mile section of the A6 just south-east of Market Harborough will be shut until the end of February, because of a faulty bridge.
Northamptonshire Highways closed the road on January 18, when an inspection revealed the bridge weakness.
This week they made the decision to keep the road closed for another five weeks for major repairs to be undertaken.
A spokesman for Northamptonshire Highways said: "Northamptonshire Highways has taken the decision to keep the A6 closed.
The closed section of the A6 begins about two miles south-east of Market Harborough, at the B576 junction to Desborough.
The road is closed in both directions right down to the A14 junction near Rothwell - a seven mile stretch of A-road that bypasses Desborough and Rothwell.
The Highways spokesman said: "We are now starting works with all our partners and have specialist teams on site and plan to re-open the road at the end of February.
"The works we are undertaking will also be affected by adverse weather.
The diversion takes traffic from the A6 along the A427 towards Corby, then along the A6003 to its termination at the A43 roundabout, and then along the A43 to the A14.
It turns the seven miles direct route along the A6 into a 22-mile diversion.
The Highways spokesman said: "We would like to apologise for this extended closure and the inconvenience this is causing.


Fragment Design has had more then their fair share of collaboration with Nike. For those that are a fan of their joint projects, it looks like we may see another drop coming.
Hiroshi Fujiwara and Nike's latest project looks to be interesting. It appears that they are going with some sort of hybrid model that includes elements from the Nike Air Force 1 and Nike Blazer. Featuring velcro straps, the Nike Swoosh starts out as an overlay which is taken over by perforations. Linking the two together is the fragment design lightning bolt by the heel along with code linking back to fragment.
Release information for the latest fragment design x Nike collaboration is unknown at the time of writing, however you can expect updates to come soon. Let us know your initial thoughts on them in the comments section below.


Sanibel Island and the entire Fort Myers area is known as the shelling capital of the world. A shell haven for more than 250 species of shells, let us count nine reasons why shelling should become a pastime activity for you and your family.
Are you a beachcomber that enjoys getting to the beach early to claim your spot for the day with a cup of coffee in your hands? When the tide is low, you can head to the Gulf waters with the kids and find a fresh batch of shells churned up for you courtesy of the Gulf of Mexico. Explain to the kids that the early bird scavengers find the best shells and they should be more willing to join you on the beach in the morning.
Bonus Tip for Early Beach Risers: Before the sun rises and washes you out on the white sandy beaches, early morning hours are a great time to take some great family photos.
Do your kids know what the Sanibel Stoop is? Do they know the difference between a conch and a turkey wing? Local fishing shops like Coastal Outfitters carry plenty of shell guides and souvenirs to get your kids interested in shelling and the names of shells. Make it fun and take them to the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum so they can become a shelling expert.
Sanibel shelling is fun. So is searching for the elusive sand dollar. Seasoned shelling experts know there is nothing like the thrill of finding the sand dollar on the shores of Sanibel Island and Fort Myers. Sand dollars aren't as easy to find as shells. Your kids will love learning about how to find them, so read our blog on how to find the sand dollar to make it easier for you.
Shuffling your feet in the water slowly brings more shells into view.
Have fun with your kids when you teach them that one of the best ways to find shells and sand dollars is to dance in the Gulf of Mexico. Standing in shallow water and shuffling your feet slowly brings more shells hiding under the sand into view. Find other tips in our blog about how to find perfect shells.
At the end of the day as the sun sets, tell your kids it's time to search for the Green Flash. Right as the sun sets below the Gulf of Mexico, keep your eyes peeled for a swirl of pink and orange that splashes across the water at the same time, making way for a brief green flash over the water's horizon. It doesn't happen every night but when you see it; your kids will have a great memory at the end of a fun shelling day.
Once you and your kids have collected all your shells, have some fun with them. Have everyone spread them out on a beach towel and engage with each other as they do some shell trading.
Once all of your kids are done trading their shells, it's time to have some fun with the shells. Use the smaller shells your children found to make shell necklaces. You can also remember your shelling fun forever by filling mason jars with shells you can keep for placement in your home. Also try filling up an empty glass lamp with your Sanibel shells.
We have nine reasons why Sanibel shelling should become an activity for your family.
Enjoy some time on Sanibel Island and Fort Myers by staying for a while. Rent a fully furnished condo at Royal Shell Vacation Rentals or Sundial Beach Resorts & Spa. Sundial guests receive 30 percent off boat, canoe and kayak rentals.
Complete your perfect adventure by renting a boat or scheduling a shelling charter excursion that takes you out on the outer islands for an adventure offered through our charter partners at Port Sanibel Marina. Utilizing a boat is a great way to spend the day while shelling and enjoying nature on Sanibel Island and Fort Myers. Give us a call at (239) 437-1660 to plan your boating needs today!


How much do you know about white wine?
There are many myths out there about this drink which are simply not true, but people commonly believe and repeat them. You might think that you know about white wine and drink it all the time but not be aware of these interesting wine facts.
Here are a few of the most pervasive white wine myths and the reasons why they are not strictly true.
You might have made the mistake of serving a cheese board at the end of the meal with red wine. Most people assume that cheese matches well with red wine, but this is not necessarily the case. In fact, some of the best wine pairings are between white wines and cheese. This is because the full bodied tannins in red wines can overwhelm the delicate tastes of mild cheeses, making it hard to distinguish and enjoy the great flavours of both. Red wines should only be served with hard cheeses with full flavour and any creamy and delicate cheese will work better with white wine.
Try pairing a Sauvignon Blanc with some creamy goat's cheese or sweet Sauternes with a salty and strong bleu cheese. Your guests might be sceptical about the combination, but they will be impressed when they experience how the flavours complement each other.
It is true that white wine is generally paired with lighter foods such as fish. However, there are plenty of seafood dishes which work better with red wine. For example, any fish which is charred or served with a fruity sauce, tomatoes or mushrooms should be served with a delicate red such as Pinot Noir.
Meat dishes are not just for red wines either. There are plenty of meats which work much better with white wines, especially spicy foods such as Indian curries or Chinese and Thai food. These meals will taste amazing when paired with a high acid white wine such as a Gewurztraminer or a Riesling.
The old advice goes that white wine should be served cold and red white should always be served at room temperature. Although this is the general rule, the truth is that each wine has its own optimal serving temperature. Many people make the mistake of serving their white wine too cold or their red wine too warm.
Why is this? It is actually due to the advent of modern heating and cooling technology in our homes. Before most houses had thermostats and central heating, "room temperature" was a lot cooler than it is today. These days most homes are kept at around 22 degrees Celsius, which is a bit too warm for red wine to be served. The warmth will make even a nice red wine taste rough and more alcoholic than it is. Also before refrigerators were commonplace in most homes white wines were traditionally kept in the wine cellar beneath the house which was quite a few degrees cooler than room temperature but not as cold as the modern fridge. Serving your white wines straight from the fridge will mask their flavours.
Here is a simple way to make sure you are serving wines at the correct temperature: If it's white, take it out of the fridge 25 minutes before serving, if it's red put in the fridge for 25 minutes before serving.
However, these beneficial health effects are not just limited to red wines; they are also present in white wines as well. The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry recently published a study which compared red wines and white wines and found that they were equally powerful in improving heart function.
In fact, the white wines which were studied revealed an antioxidant composition which was similarly present in olive oil. The study recommended European white wines, such as those from France, Germany and Italy as having the best health benefits.
These are just a few of the most common myths about white wine which have been passed around time and time again. Now that you know, you will be a more informed wine drinker and you will be able to appreciate this amazing drink even more.
Here are a few fascinating facts about white wine that you might not have known, which will enhance your understanding of this delicious drink.

I don't drown my sorrows..I suffocate them with cupcakes.
Everyone needs a no-fail, go-to, whip-it-up-in-a-flash cupcake recipe, and this is mine. It works every time and is soft and moist and delicious. The lime gives a refreshing tang to counter the sweetness of the cake and icing, and the almond meal has a nice undertone of nuttiness and richness. My daughter makes fabulous cupcakes and she is also an expert with a piping bag and palette knife to decorate, and she has tested this recipe many times. Her advice is to make sure that you cream the butter and sugar until it is very light and fluffy, and not to be impatient at this stage of the recipe; then you will get light-as-air cakes. Enjoy any time you need a sweet treat – not just to drown your sorrows!
Preheat oven to 180 C. Line a 12 hole muffin or cake tin with cake liners. In a medium sized bowl cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and lemon zest. Add the eggs, one at a time and mix well. Alternately add the flour and milk until well combined. Carefully spoon the mixture into the cake tin, filling each liner to about 2/3 capacity. There should be just enough mixture. Bake in the oven for 12 – 15 minutes, or until lightly golden and an individual cake springs back when lightly touched with your finger. take the cakes out of the tin and cool on a cake tray until completely cold. meanwhile, in a small bowl beat together the icing ingredients, adding enough lime juice to get a smooth consistency. When the cakes are cold, ice and decorate them, unleashing all your creative impulses. I used thinly sliced lime zest, but you could use shave or toasted coconut, grated lime zest, sprinkles or sugar flowers, or whatever takes your fancy. The cakes will keep for 2 or 3 days if store din an airtight container.
These look delicious and you couldn't be more right about a go-to cupcakes recipe, my liquorice allsort ones have saved me so many times (believe it or not!) will definitely be giving these a go!
Thanks as well! They're in the depths of my blog somewhere, let me know if you give them a go!

Please can someone point out what i am doing wrong with this code or help me correct it Thanks?

A: All you need to do is remove the awaits from the calls to the things you want to include in your Promise.all. The moment you await something it is going to resolve the promise before continuing. If you were to look at the object you get back from await dynamodb.update(...).promise(), for example, you'll notice that you have a DynamoDBUpdateResponse object (at least I think that's the type). But if you remove the await you'd have a Promise<DynamoDBUpdateResponse> object.
You can still get at the results of the promises after you call await Promise.all. Each item in the array will have a record in the resulting array.

The 2:22 Gateway Frequencies Arrive | Ascension 360º - Navigating the New World Energies!
Oh, those Aches and Pains… AGAIN!
February, the month indicating a Leap Year and the month of Hearts, is proving to also be a pivotal month in our upshift process – we are leaping again indeed! It has packed a wallop with wave after wave of new higher Frequencies arriving that are truly challenging our physical and emotional beings.
First the Fire Monkey New Moon on February 8th with its focus on taking risks and being authentically You – and how those two are inextricably related. Next the Full Moon in Virgo (February 22nd – 23rd) whose energy may cause a feeling of skewed reality and whose message is all about illumination of Truth, taking responsibility, taking off the 'rose colored glasses' and focusing on what is most important to you.
This time will be an intense mirror to peer into but a powerful opportunity to act from the Heart.
And, as things have been tending to flow in the past 6 months, this Moon piggy backs the 2:22 (February 22nd) Gateway – the next wave of energies arriving through this portal kicking our bodies, minds, spirits and very Being up yet another level in Consciousness and Awareness and stretching us ever further into our new 'skin' of Higher Human Divine Essence.
As the flow of Frequencies begin to arrive, usually about a week prior to the portal opening, I tend to see an uptick in both communication about symptoms and also visits here to the A30º site. You are feeling it big time! I too have had yet another bout with what I have come to call the 'Ascension Flu' this week and this influx has been a doozy for sure. So I wanted to address this month's incoming wave as it is particularly intense as we continue the deep evolutionary process on our journey. I hope it is helpful in giving you both context for what you are experiencing and also some comfort in knowing you are not alone.
The necessity to be persistent or persevere as you build, create, learn to collaborate and communicate as a way of challenging your ability to truly stick to your authentic Self and live your authentic Truth – in other words no more pleasing others to get by, get what you want, play out old patterns, contract your vibrant Essence.
Now, if you have not experienced these things, do not be concerned. We are all moving along the path to Oneness, however everyone is at a different place on that path and is going at a different pace. This is part of our Human Beingness. And it is these differences that allow us to maintain our individual spark of uniqueness in the tapestry of our Unity.
Yes, you are feeling this. No, you are not crazy AND you are not alone. Many are sensitive to it as well, but are not sharing for fear of being thought crazy, or simply because you don't know what is happening to you or why. As I always advise, if you feel what you are experiencing is serious enough, always see your doctor or holistic practitioner. However, you may find, as many of us have, that traditional medicine and even many alternative methods now have no effect and provide little or no relief. That is because there is no 'getting around' this Ascension process. We must go through it full force. We can attempt to numb ourselves, avoid or resist it – or do the spiritual bypass which is to focus on the cliches of thinking your way beyond it (your thoughts create your reality) or "if I push through it and envision wellness, I will feel better" – but this only creates more pain – literally, emotionally, vibrationally and spiritually. The best way to ride each wave is to feel it, allow it, embrace it and experience it. Why? Because it is happening. In fact, doing so will provide two things: 1) The process will occur with more ease and acceleration, as all things are accelerated now, and 2) You will experience less friction on every level along the way – no resistance = no persistance – symptoms can glide through versus get stuck in the body or energetic system causing repetitive patterns and drain.
Like it or not, believe it or not, remember or not, this is what your Soul signed up for. Yes, it is more intense than ever and will continue to be so for a few years to come. We are still shedding much density and resistance at the lower levels of consciousness and being. We are still awakening. Many are still kicking and screaming at the idea of truly and fully letting go of all that no longer serves them, much less our New World. This is our Chrysalis Experience, and for some, just another of many you may have already had. Like the caterpillar, which must completely dissolve into unrecognizable 'goo' so that the new creation cells can begin their work to birth the butterfly, this is the path we have chosen to our new reality and to our evolution as Higher Human Divine Beings.
And like the butterfly, as we open and activate the Heart Chakra, we sprout our Angel or Dragon wings – hence the pain between your shoulder blades and pressure in the middle of the back (the back side of your Heart Chakra). How can you reside in a world that operates purely from the Heart if your Heart is not purely open and ready, willing and able to FLY?
If this wasn't enough, more is transforming within us now. Our bodies are having what is known as a Kundalini Awakening – the opening of our energetic system for Universal Life Force to freely flow through us such that our Souls can fully infuse with our physical bodies and become the primary voice of our expression. As spirit merges with matter, our DNA is changing – from carbon-based to crystalline-based (solar-light body) – and building from 2 to 12 strands… and beyond. This is a process that many may not observe in the 3D physical world for it is far too uprooting and unsettling for the Egoic and scientific mind. Our hormones are raging, our hearts are racing, the environmental altitude of Mother Earth as she exists in space is literally climbing and, thus, we must acclimate like mountaineers journeying upward and inward to the next stage of our climb.
It is said, however, that the most challenging of this long and grueling process is actually the shortest journey of all – the one within from our Heads to our Hearts. That is ultimately the core of this Ascension – moving from strategizing, rationalizing, thinking and planning from the head to the pure ability to intuitively live, act, be, do, create and Love from the Heart. This is not 'the ways' of the old world. It is like learning to speak a new language, ride a bike or be in intimate relationship. It takes practice and an ability to trust yourself, find your balance and surrender control. But above all – you must find the courage to open your Heart in the first place – for not only do our new eyes reside there, so does our deeper ability to truly listen and hear.
Fascinatingly, a physical shift is occurring now to support this. As our pineal and pituitary glands have been, or are being, activated, the next step is that they will be joined. And after that, so say The Dragons, will be the connection of our Third Eye (aka our Knowing space or Inner Eye) with our Hearts (our Higher Knowing which is another form of eye or 'seeing,' yes?). So, rather than simply moving from the head to the Heart, they are joining, the Heart is becoming joined with our seeing and Knowing to create our Higher Heart Wisdom – a coming together of heretofore thought separate body, energetic and spiritual 'parts' to create an unbroken whole system of seeing with and through LOVE. We are becoming a new kind of Being indeed!
Given all of these extraordinary changes and transformative processes we are undergoing – and the changes still to come in our outer world – does it not make sense that a few body aches and growing pains would simply be par for the course? Know this – the Soul always knows what it is doing. The Ego, on the other hand, is not always so thrilled or on board, particularly after years of this, yes? I get it. I understand. I hear you. I too have had my share of hair-raising experiences and unbearable symptoms to last me more than one lifetime of evolutionary expansion, thank you very much!
Take time each day to sit in stillness – not mediation – just sit and be with yourself and breathe. Keep it simple and reconnect with your Heart and inner self – he/she needs you right now more than ever.
Find a source, any source of Joy. So many I work with have no idea what that is or how to touch it. It can be your beloved pet, a hobby, some music, a picture you like to look at, a book or movie you enjoy, a flower, a smell, a color you love to wear or a favorite piece of clothing you feel good in. Start small and feed your Soul with it. For me, in some of the darkest moments, it was a snuggle with my dog or simply watching a movie. This until I could find a wider moment of joy, and then another. Do not force this or fabricate it. Do not 'fake it 'till you make it' as that feeds inauthenticity.
Most importantly, just be you, as you are, with understanding and acceptance – toward yourself each step of the way, with each feeling or symptom you experience. Unconditional Self Love, truly unconditionally given, is the greatest gift and grandest blessing you can both give and receive.
Be well. And remember, this wave shall pass – but as it does it is bringing in the most glorious of Frequencies tuning UP your vibration to ever higher Consciousness and ever grander Beingness. Each ache and pain is a signal of your Divine upshift and a symbol of your re-membering the brilliant Master Creator and extraordinary God-Fire Essence that You Are!


The Australian dollar was one of the worst performing currencies in Wednesday's Asian session after it plunged following data showing the weakest pace of inflation in Australia in three years. Headline CPI came in at 0.5% quarter-on-quarter in the three months to September compared to 0.7% in the prior quarter. This missed forecasts of a 0.7% number. Meanwhile, compared to a year earlier, CPI rose 1.5%, below expectations for a 1.7% rise.
The Australian dollar fell sharply against the US dollar from a pre-data high of 0.7205 to a session low of 0.7110 as the softer inflation number increases the chances of a rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia at its Tuesday, November 3 meeting.
Retail sales in Japan disappointed today, weakening the yen briefly and leading to a rally in the Nikkei. Data showed retail sales fell 0.2% year-on-year in September, which contradicted expectations for a 0.4% gain. This was a sharp reversal from the 0.8% rise in sales in August. The disappointing data would be bad news for the Bank of Japan which holds a monetary policy meeting on Friday. There have been increasing expectations recently for more stimulus measures to be taken by the BoJ, with some economists expecting a move this week.
The yen fell briefly against the dollar after the data but soon recovered due to the greenback being under pressure ahead of the FOMC meeting later today. The dollar/yen pair traded in a range during the Asian session between 120.23 and 120.53. The dollar was weakened on Tuesday after some disappointing US economic data. US consumer confidence fell to 97.6 this month from a reading of 102.6 in September while durable goods orders fell by 1.2% last month.
The soft data has made investors a little nervous ahead of the FOMC policy announcement later today. Investors will look for any indications to be given by the Fed on the timing of a rate hike. The euro and the pound were flat ahead of this key risk event. The euro traded around 1.1040 while sterling hovered at 1.5340.

Motivation is an interesting concept. Sometimes, we see motivation as this elusive thing that the people we look up to must have. Although it is also something that some people are able to just will themselves to have without much effort. Many times we are enticed by this notion that if we can be clever enough, we can "hack" our minds to reward ourselves with endless proactivity and determination. Now, it is entirely possible that some "tricks" can work as research has shown that our brains respond to certain cues over others. However, there is no escaping the actual effort, and motivation is simply supplementing that effort with a productive shift in your attitude. So, here are some motivation tips for working out that are tried-and-true methods.
What is the reason you started working out in the first place? Do you have an event coming up? Do you want to relive your peak physical form from college? Whatever the reason may be, one of the best things you can do is keep a reminder of that reason that you can see and keep it close. If there is a date you are working towards, take a screenshot of that date and make it the background photo on your phone. This way, every time you open up your phone, you will be reminded of that date that you are working towards. You can even leave post-it notes around your room that says "you got this" as a mental cue to keep going. Doing so will allow your brain to log it in as a cue for you to return to your habit.
Angela Davis, who is a celeb SoulCycle instructor and self-described "fitness evangelist" said, "embracing any lifestyle change is going to require you to be ready." You have to recognize that the life you are currently living is not serving you. This can coincide with the first tip because it relates to sitting down and having an honest conversation with yourself about why you want to do this. Remember, motivation isn't this magic formula that brings you success, but rather the willingness to put in that effort needed to push you towards your goals.
There is actual science behind this. Working out with someone else has proven to be a highly effective motivation booster. But, make sure you choose someone that will also hold you accountable. Davis said, "what qualifies someone for that position is someone who will require you to put a demand on your potential." So, you want someone that will force you to push yourself and call you out if you are slacking.

Bulgaria will take part in the 58th edition of the International Art Exhibition – Venice Biennale, which will take place between May 11 and November 24, 2019. Last week, the government approved the country's participation, the Ministry of Culture website said, reports TransmediumNews.
In the middle of November, Minister of Culture Boil Banov confirmed the National Participation Statute in the prestigious cultural event, which regulates the necessary procedures in preparation of Bulgaria's participation in the major international exhibition.
This document aims to make our country's participation there a permanent practice for which there is a regulated order of choice for the organizers and participants, as well as a mechanism for defining a financial framework. It also confirms that there must be a competition for a curatorial project, which will soon be announced on the website of the Ministry of Culture through an open invitation.

Franz Heinrich Wilhelm Bock (* 11. Juli 1901 in Magdeburg; † 1964 in Bonn) war ein deutscher Verwaltungsbeamter. Unter seinem Pseudonym Alexander Hohenstein war er Autor des Wartheländischen Tagebuchs.

Bock arbeitete zunächst als Verwaltungsbeamter im Reichsgebiet. Er trat zum 1. Mai 1933 der NSDAP bei (Mitgliedsnummer 2.352.366). Von 1940 bis 1942 war er Bürgermeister und Amtskommissar von Poddębice im vom Deutschen Reich besetzten Polen. 1942 wurde Bock aus der Partei ausgeschlossen. 1948 erfolgte die Entnazifizierung; er wurde in die Gruppe 3 (Förderer der NSDAP; Minderbelastete) eingestuft, nach einem Berufungsverfahren 1950 nur noch als "Mitläufer". Nach dem Krieg wohnte er in Braunschweig.

Über seine Zeit im damaligen Warthegau verfasste Franz Heinrich Bock ausführliche Tagebuchaufzeichnungen. Diese wurden 1961 vom Münchner Institut für Zeitgeschichte herausgegeben und erschienen unter dem Pseudonym Alexander Hohenstein.

Boulder police are requesting the public's assistance in identifying a man who made inappropriate comments to three adolescent girls who were playing at Park East Park, located at 811 Mohawk Drive, shortly before 3 p.m. Sunday.
Boulder police are asking for the public's help in identifying a man who made inappropriate comments to three girls and then threatened one of their parents with sexual violence at a park early Sunday afternoon.
The man approached the girls, ages 9, 10 and 12, at Park East Park on Mohawk Drive shortly before 3 p.m., according to a news release from Boulder police. He made inappropriate comments to them about their bodies, the release says, before the girls biked away and told a parent.
The parent returned to the park to confront the man. According to the news release, the man became aggressive and threatened sexual violence against the parent, adding that he would also burn down the neighborhood.
Police have increased patrols in the area in response to the incident.

Q: Restler not receiving ñ character I'm making a REST service using Restler, however I've found that when I pass it the ñ character, the whole parameter becomes null.
Is this because of REST or because some weird encoding that I'm missing?

A: While I do not know if this is the case in your situation, generally HTTP is not a safe-transport for extended character sets like Unicode.  I've found base64 to be the best way to transport data between the REST client and server.

7 New Auction Records for Women Artists of the Premodern Era
Launch Slideshow
The Female Triumphant, a cornerstone event highlighting women artists of the premodern era has led Masters Week in New York. Selections of paintings by women artists offered across the Master Paintings Evening, Day, and 19th Century European Art sales have confirmed a renewed interest in female painters who have been overshadowed by their male counterparts. Elisabeth-Louise Vigée Le Brun's portrait of Muhammad Dervish Khan set the record for any female old master at auction alongside 6 other female artist records. Click ahead for a closer look.
Vigée Le Brun's Imposing Portrait of an Indian Ambassador
This portrait by Elisabeth-Louise Vigée Le Brun depicts Muhammad Dervish Khan, the Indian ambassador sent to France by the powerful Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan. Painted in the summer of 1788 and exhibited at the Salon of 1789, when political unrest had begun to boil in France, the work is an evocative account of France's fascination with the East as well as Vigée's resourcefulness in acquiring this unique commission. It is obvious that both Dervish Khan and Vigée would have found each other equally exotic and endlessly fascinating: one, a powerful Indian man parading around Paris in elegant muslin and gold-embroidered costumes, the other a woman artist who held such sway that she could get the King of France to request the sitting.
Elisabeth-Louise Vigée Le Brun, Portrait of Muhammad Dervish Khan, Full-Length, Holding His Sword in a Landscape. Sold for $7,185,900.

A Rare Still Life by Fede Galizia
Fede Galizia helped to define the still-life genre in Italy in the early 17th century with naturalistic, pared-down compositions featuring fruit and flowers such as A glass compote with peaches, jasmine flowers, quinces, and a grasshopper. Discovered in the late 20th century, this painting is a prime example of the pioneering female artist's attention to detail and innovation in compositional arrangement. Around 20 still lifes by Galizia are known today, making her fruit and flower pieces rare and significant as they represent her most important contribution to art history.
Fede Galizia, A glass compote with peaches, jasmine flowers, quinces, and a grasshopper. Sold for $2,415,000.
A Portrait by One of Only Two Female Founding Members of the Royal Academy
This elegant portrait by Angelika Kauffmann almost certainly depicts the young generation of Spencers, one of the wealthiest families in England. The children were prominent members of the English aristocracy who grew up to become important and influential social figures in their own right, particularly Lady Georgiana, later Duchess of Devonshire, pictured at left. The Spencers were amongst Angelika Kauffmann's earliest British patrons; this portrait was painted soon after the artist's arrival from Rome in 1766. By the late 1770s, Kauffmann was one of the most sought-after painters in England and was one of only two female founding members of the Royal Academy.
Angelika Kauffmann, R.A., Portrait of Three Children, Almost Certainly Lady Georgiana Spencer, Later Duchess of Devonshire, Lady Henrietta Spencer and George Viscount Althorp. Sold for $915,000.
An Artist, Poet, Embroiderer and Scholar Who Was All But Forgotten
Bold in her art, refined in her intellect, yet reserved in her nature, Giulia Lama is one of the most enigmatic and fascinating figures of the early Venetian Settecento. As an artist, poetess, embroiderer and scholar, she transcended the boundaries placed upon women during her lifetime. Untraced until recently, these two paintings depicting accounts from the lives of Joseph and Job, rendered with a vigorous tenebrism and dynamic naturalism, serve as visual testaments to her unwavering character and artistic prowess that for many generations was overshadowed by her male contemporaries.
Giulia Lama, Joseph Interpreting the Eunuchs' Dreams; Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar Consoling Job. Sold for $495,000.
A Charming Self-Portrait of the Artist in Her Studio
A student of the history painter Joseph Hornung, Guillebaud worked in Geneva, painting mostly portraits and genre scenes, from circa 1820 to 1845, though very little is known of her life. This charming painting is almost certainly a self-portrait of the artist in her studio.
Amile-Ursule Guillebaud, Portrait of the Artist, Seated at Her Easel. Sold for $16,250.
A Champion of Rights for Female Artists
Although she spent much of her life in a rural community outside of Paris, Demont-Breton was not a withdrawn artist working in isolation. Instead, she was an outspoken advocate for the rights of female artists at a time when the establishment was hostile towards them, engaging in political discourse and activism. She was the president of the Union des Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs from, and 1895-1901. She fought for the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris to open to women, and won in 1897, granting women the right to study in the Academic setting and granting access to artistic tools, such as life models, previously unavailable.
Virginie Demont-Breton, Femme de pêcheur venant de baigner ses enfants. Sold for $543,000.
An American Who Exhibited Thirty-Six Paintings at the Salon
Gardner chose to compete in the male dominated domain of figure painting rather than more traditional female genres. Women and children were the core focus of her figural groupings, as they are in La captive, exhibited at the Salon of 1883 (no. 997). Anecdotal paintings, such as La captive, allowed Gardner to showcase her exceptional skills at painting the figure in a variety of settings, each with their own story line. The artist was a bird lover and kept parrots, doves and other species in her studio cages, while a number of local birds flocked to her windows for daily feedings, and they feature in a number of her compositions like La captive.
Elizabeth Jane Gardner Bouguereau, La captive. Sold for $591,000.

The Shaw House has lived many lives.
When it was moved from its original location on College Avenue, just across the street from Colorado State University, to its current home in Prospect Estates in the 1970s, the utmost care was taken to preserve the 100-year-old building.
The kitchen hearth was disassembled, carefully labeled, and reassembled brick by brick in the new location.
This attention to detail is apparent through every inch of the home, which expertly mixes modern touches with the original features of the building.
The current owners have gone above and beyond to integrate the new with the old, using original materials but enhancing them with modern technology in every instance possible in the four-bedroom, three-bath house. Design choices respect and enhance the original purpose of each room, letting the original aesthetic shine through.
LAST WEEK: Home of the week: Luxury log cabin
This is not to say that the house is appointed in period décor from the 1920's. Both subtle and substantial changes have been made to some spaces. Built-in glass-fronted cabinets in the dining room display fine china and crystal. The master bath has more in common with a spa than a residential bathroom after many upgrades. The resulting home is a treasure, and a true exemplar of livable historic restoration.
"We really put a lot of work into the house when we bought it. It needed a lot of attention, and we wanted to keep as much original as we could. That meant we put in a lot more hours into it than if we had just ripped things out and replaced them, but it meant a lot to us to keep the house intact," the current owner said.
The home was built by attorney MH Shaw and his wife May on College Avenue around 1919. Mrs. Shaw's roots are evident in every inch of the house, which was built to resemble a Southern mansion.
There are seven bedrooms. Two have since been converted into a library and an enormous dressing room.
REVIVE: Green building comes to North Fort Collins
Multiple living room spaces are spread throughout, there are converted servants' quarters over the garage - indicators the home was once a fine house for public figures in the community. The grand plantation-style mansion is striking not only because it is painted a charming shade of yellow, but because its type is rarely seen in Northern Colorado.
Towering two-story columns anchor its façade and they are accented by a sweeping front porch.
The main staircase wraps from a grand entrance to the second story, slowly spiraling around, acting as the hub with all of the rooms as its spokes.
Formal front rooms with large windows flank the front elevation to either side of the front door, again harkening to the home's Southern roots. Evidence of all of those who have passed through the home over the many years can be easily seen in the well-worn wood floors.
COLORADO LIVING: Roughin It builds one-of-a-kind pieces
Original oak floors lends warmth to elegant architecture. They are in contrast with the crown moldings and wainscoting, keeping the style dignified without appearing stuffy or cold. The decision to keep original elements in the home is both an homage to the history of the house and a testament to quality of the materials used to build the house.
"The quality of the craftsmanship really shines through in this house. It has been through a lot, and it is still solid," current owners said.
The real heart of the home, however, is in the kitchen.
Rooms built to be grand and visible to the public are at the front of the house, and the smaller rooms meant for the private family life are at the back. The kitchen, while cozy, is not overly small. But it is compact and close when compared with the deliberate spaciousness of the rest of the house.
The Shaw House is just begging for someone to start baking cookies. It is inviting and functional, and almost glows with the rosy light reflecting off of all of the wooden surfaces.
The cabinets are the maple original to the home, the countertops are meticulously maintained butcher block, and the deep apron-front farm sink is hammered copper. It also boasts modern touches like double ovens, a pot filler over the gas stove, and a baking station outfitted with granite. The modern pieces are blended seamlessly with the historic elements to keep the look of the kitchen consistent with that of the rest of the home.
DEILY: Welcome to Colorado Living
A meticulously rebuilt brick cooking hearth is the focal point, and it is no less compelling to know that it now serves as housing for some of the most exciting modern amenities rather than the sole cooking tool in the kitchen.
The warm colors give the kitchen and the adjoining living room and converted servants' quarters the feeling of a private family area. They are much softer, and more humble than the formal rooms at the front of the house. The warmth invites visitors to sit and look out at the extensively landscaped backyard through one of the many windows on the back of the house.
To 100 more
The Shaw House has served as a home for Fort Collins residents for nearly 100 years.
That the original builders were both public figures and private people can be seen in the design of the home modeled after Southern mansions. The effort to retain the original grandeur of the home while making it a comfortable modern home have resulted in an example of the best of both worlds.

Another devastating fire kills at least 80 in Bangladesh capital
By Sujeewa Amaranath
At least 80 people have been killed and another 50 injured by a fire that erupted in a four-storey building and raced through three other buildings on Wednesday night in the Chawkbazar area of Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. It took more than 12 hours for the police and fire services to get the fire under control.
The media reported that most of the victims' bodies were charred beyond recognition. A search for more bodies was discontinued after 14 hours. The death toll could rise because some of the injured are in a critical condition and are being treated in several hospitals, including the Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Doubt surrounds the number of casualties. The New York Times reported that the firestorm claimed at least 110 lives. Samanta Lal Sen, the head of a burns' unit in the Dhaka Medical College Hospital, told the Associated Press at least nine of the critically-injured people were being treated in his unit.
The cause of the fire is yet to be officially determined, but the resulting inferno was obviously fuelled by chemicals allowed to be stored in the area, despite repeated government promises of crackdowns on building code violations after similar disasters.
Shamsul Alam, an officer at the department of explosives, told Al Jazeera that an "initial investigation found that the fire started when a gas cylinder burst. Our team is still investigating. Nothing conclusive can be said now."
Like many buildings in Chawkbazar, the ground floors were being used as warehouses and shops, while the upper floors contained residential apartments. According to media reports, highly combustible chemicals and plastic goods were stored in one warehouse on the ground floor and caught fire immediately. Eyewitnesses and the police said gas cylinder explosions in the residential apartments helped fuel the blaze.
The Chawkbazar district, which is said to be about 400 years old, has narrow streets and buildings erected very close to each other. When the fire erupted at about 11:00 p.m., many residents were sleeping. According to eyewitnesses, the sudden fire and explosions halted traffic, including vehicles and rickshaws, killing occupants and night shoppers.
Haji Abdul Kader told the AFP: "I heard a big bang. I turned back and saw the whole street in flames. Flames were everywhere."
Mohammad Rakib, a restaurant manager, told the New York Times that he watched a rickshaw driver try to outrace the flames and then get burned alive. "So many people were trying to escape," he said. "I was so terrified, I ran out of the restaurant and left behind all the money."
The incident created a horrible and tragic scene with people anxiously looking for information about missing relatives and incinerated vehicles scattered across the street.
Some victims were having dinner at a nearby restaurant and others were said to be in a bridal party. A Dhaka Fire Service official said many of the victims were trapped inside the buildings. One woman was holding her small daughter in her arms when the rickshaw in which she was travelling caught on fire.
Officials told the media that fire-fighting trucks were unable to reach the site because the nearby roads were closed for a national holiday on Thursday and traffic filled the street.
In a typical face-saving ritual conducted after every such disaster, Bangladesh President Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed expressed shock at the incident and sympathy for the families of those killed.
To deflect popular anger over the tragedy, the Ministry of Labour and Employment announced a meagre 100,000 taka ($US1,191) payment for the families of those killed and 50,000 taka for those injured.
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, who visited the area, announced the formation of a committee to investigate the fire and report within seven days. The Ministry of Industries and the Fire Service and Civil Defence (FSCD) also announced investigations.
Dhaka South City Corporation Mayor Sayeed Khokon declared that no more chemical warehouses would be allowed inside Dhaka. Such official responses, and empty promises of action, have been made repeatedly in the past.
Bangladeshi authorities moved to ban the storage of chemical goods in residential areas after a deadly fire in 2010, but little has changed. That fire, which occurred in Nimtoli district and killed 124 people, was also made worse by the presence of an illegal warehouse.
As the BBC reported: "After that incident, a committee suggested the removal of all chemical warehouses from residential areas, but critics say no significant steps have been taken in the years since."
Even the government's limited building zoning rules are often ignored because of lax enforcement or corruption. Wealthy business owners routinely pay off officials or the authorities who simply turn a blind eye in order to not interfere with profitable enterprises.
A taskforce comprised of FSCD and police officials was established after the 2010 fire but no warehouse was removed, an FSCD official told Al Jazeera.
Data collated by the Department of Explosives said that in Chawkbazar alone, 46 companies have licences to import and export combustible chemicals, while 70 other units have licences to use these chemicals to produce goods like perfumes. But an official from the department, who wished to remain anonymous, told Al Jazeera that beside these 116 companies, more than 2,000 illegal chemical warehouses were being run in the area.
Building fires and collapses have killed hundreds of people in Bangladesh in recent years. In 2012, more than 112 garment workers were burned to death when a fire burnt through the multi-floor Tazreen Fashion factory in the Ashulia district on Dhaka's outskirts.
In 2013, the eight-storey Rana Plaza building, which contained five garment factories, collapsed. More than 1,200 people were killed, mainly garment workers, and thousands more were injured, in one of the world's worst industrial disasters.
At that time, the World Socialist Web Site warned:
"In the wake of the tragedy, governments, the media, trade unions and various NGOs declare, in one way or another, that something must be done and promote the illusion that the global corporations and Bangladeshi government can be pressured to improve safety and living standards for garment workers. The reality is that the government will do nothing to jeopardise exports or profits. Amid the deepening breakdown of global capitalism, safety standards will worsen, not improve."
Prime Minister Sheik Hasina's Awami League-led government took office for the third time this January, boasting about high economic growth. The reality is that Bangladesh, like other impoverished countries, has been turned into a cheap labour platform for global corporations to exploit workers in sweatshop conditions. Hasina's administration and the capitalist class are unable to address any of the population's pressing social questions.
Just last month, the Awami League government backed large garment companies in sacking more than 7,000 workers after they returned to work, ending an eight-day struggle for wage increases amid police intimidation and threats of mass lock-outs.
In its efforts to attract international investment from other low-wage countries, Hasina's government is desperately serving the interests of local big business, as well the global investors and retail giants that thrive on the ruthless exploitation of the country's working class.
As the WSWS insisted in 2013: "These tragedies are crimes that are ultimately rooted in the profit system itself. Globalised production, which has the potential to provide everyone on the planet with a decent standard of living, is leading under capitalism to enormous profits for the wealthy few and the deepening immiseration of working people around the world.
"The only solution lies in a unified struggle of the international working class to abolish this outmoded and reactionary social order and establish a rationally planned world socialist economy to meet the pressing social needs of humanity as a whole."

The Galibier is a mythical mountain in cycling folklore.
At 2,642m above sea level, it was for a long time the undisputed highest point of the Tour de France.
A handful of Tour climbs can now claim to be higher; none can claim to have staged so many of the race's iconic moments.
It was on the Galibier that Fausto Coppi launched a career-defining solo move on his way to victory atop the Tour's first ever summit finish at Alp d'Huez in 1952; where Marco Pantani made his Tour winning move in 1998; and where Andy Shleck's now infamous 60km solo attack concluded with a victory on the first and only summit finish the Galibier has hosted in 2011, the highest summit finish in the Tour's history.
A favoured climb of Henri Desgrange, founder of the Tour de France, the Galibier has featured no less than 58 times in the race.
Stage 17 of this year's Tour saw the race climb over the legendary mountain pass on the way to a finish in the valley below at Serre Chevalier.
British photographer Jojo Harper was there working for World Tour team Katusha Alpecin, and we are delighted to share a series of photographs that Jojo has put together for us: A day on the Galibier.

Where's the appetizer? Jamie will sometimes tease me on Friday nights when it's my week to plan the menu. We tend to eat dinner a little late on Fridays, sometimes because I'm baking and decorating a cake for an order, and every surface in the kitchen is covered with piping bags and tips, bowls of frosting, and cake scraps. But sometimes it's just that we're tired, and need to relax a little after work.
So when dinner isn't going to happen until 8:30 or 9:00 pm, then a little something to tide us over is always nice. It might be as simple as a steamed artichoke with garlic aioli, or olives and cheese and crackers.
One night I made a savory galette with some pastry I had made and frozen a few weeks earlier. First I caramelized onions and mushrooms in a skillet, then piled all that goodness on the pastry, followed by bits of prosciutto and goat cheese crumbles. After it baked up all golden and beautiful, I sprinkled a little fresh basil on top. With a glass of wine, it was a really nice start to the evening.
To fuel his love of appetizers, our first Valentine's together I gave Jamie a little recipe book of appetizers called Bite Size and we've had a lot of fun together trying different recipes from the book.
One of our favorites, that we've made at least 3 or 4 times are the "Chicory Bites". We've never been able to find anything called chicory in our grocery store, so we use endive which is very similar, and the crisp vegetable leaves serve as little boats to hold a savory filling of blue cheese crumbles and chopped pecans, drizzled with a balsamic vinegar sauce and topped with fresh bean sprouts (when sprouts aren't available, we use sunflower greens).
I love how adaptable the recipe is - feta or goat cheese crumbles could be substituted for the blue cheese, walnuts for the pecans, cress or other snipped greens for the sprouts, etc... Really, it can be made to suit anyone's taste. These are a fresh and light little snack, that also happen to be free of carbs, if that's important to you.
I also photographed another that he recently made, Egg and Tapenade Toasts. These pretty toasts are spread with a salty Kalamata olive tapenade, sliced tomatoes, boiled eggs and anchovies. They were amazing and addictive, and I could have just eaten these for dinner. If anchovies aren't your thing (although if you've never made homemade Caesar dressing with anchovies, you're missing out...), then a little smoked salmon would be nice, too.
The next day, I took some of the leftover toast and tapenade, tomatoes and eggs to work for a snack, and as I was dipping toast into that black paste, one of my coworkers asked me, "Is that caviar?"
Cut the base off the endive, separate the leaves, rinse and pat dry. Select the best ones and set on a serving plate.
In a small bowl, toss together the cheese and pecans. In a separate bowl, combine the oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard and sugar; season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle a little bit of the dressing over the cheese/pecan mixture to moisten it.
Spoon the mixture into the leaves and top with the sprouts to garnish. Drizzle each with a little more dressing, as much as you like.
Serve right away, or chill for up to an hour before serving.
Preheat the broiler to medium. Cut off the crusty ends of the bread, and slice the loaf into 8 slices, 1/4 inch thick (or more than 8 slices, for a bigger loaf). Place on a baking sheet and toast both sides until light golden brown. Cool.
Spread each toast with a small spoonful of the tapenade. Top with the tomato slices and the hard-boiled egg slices. Arrange the anchovies and olive halves on top. Serve right away.
Prepare the pie crust by rolling out into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the pie crust with the flour. Cover with plastic so it doesn't dry out and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until a deep golden, caramelized color, about 30 minutes; reduce the heat to medium low if they look like they may burn before caramelizing.
Set onions and mushrooms aside to cool for 10 minutes and take the pie crust out of the fridge to let it warm up a little on the counter so it's easier to work with. Preheat the oven to 400.
Spoon the onions and mushrooms over the pie crust, leaving a 2-3 inch border of crust all the way around. Sprinkle with the goat cheese and the prosciutto. Fold the edges of the dough up, overlapping the dough to create a rustic border around the filling. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water; brush over the edges of the dough and under the folds with a pastry brush.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown. After taking the galette out of the oven, sprinkle with the chopped basil. Cool for 10 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has revealed that Southampton are pushing to make it two signings in quick succession to end the transfer window.
French midfielder Ibrahima Diallo will become the club's third signings of the summer this afternoon, completing his move to St. Mary's from Stade Brest.
He is understood to have signed a four-year deal with the club, keeping him on the south coast until 2024.
But more signings will hopefully follow, Hasenhuttl has teased, with only 24 hours left of this summer's transfer window.
Speaking after his side's win over West Brom, Hasenhuttl said: "We are happy to have Diallo here. It is done and we are very happy.
"Hopefully, we get another one and then with two new players it looks okay.

"We already have two and the young lads are doing well. I don't want to say Oriol gets a yellow every game, the last two games he didn't but we need a sub for him. We need more than two sixes - and Diallo can play in multiple positions too.
"But we have a few positions where we are looking for different players We are looking."
When asked if he could tease us with the player the club are currently talking to, he added: "I will tell you, hopefully, in the next 24 hours."
