Saved from Tuolumne Camp blaze: A stopped watch

As summer approaches, scores of Berkeleyans recall the gaping hole in their lives now that the cherished Berkeley Tuolumne Family Camp is gone — razed to the ground in August 2013 by the devastating Rim Fire.
One young man was reminded of the wonderful times he had spent at the city of Berkeley-run camp with a jolt this week when he went to sign up to be a counselor at the camp, which this year is being held at Echo Lake, and was told a possession of his had been retrieved from the ashes.

On Monday, Eli Baum went into the camp office to complete the paperwork to be a counselor at Berkeley Tuolumne Camp at Echo Lake. That was when Craig Veramay, camp director, told him something of his had been found in the debris.
It was Baum's watch, visibly burned, and the hands of which had stopped when the Rim Fire hit.
Baum, like all the other campers, was evacuated from the camp last summer before the fire reached the grounds. He had been reluctant to go, however.
"It was my second year on staff and the place really meant a lot to me. When we had to leave I really did not want to evacuate and it was really hard to go," the 18-year-old said Wednesday.
Baum's family were Tuolumne veterans — they started going when Eli was 10, although last year they had visited earlier in the summer, and Eli was there without them when he was evacuated. He was a CIT in 2013 and a two-time staff member.
"The watch was actually found by one of the bathrooms, which is strange because I thought it was on my dresser — so I guess I left it there and forgot about it," he said.
The Berkeley Tuolumne Family Camp was destroyed in the Rim Fire, which started Aug. 17, 2013, and became the third largest wildfire in state history, burning 257,314 acres. The blaze was eventually contained Oct. 24. Investigators concluded the blaze was caused by a hunter's illegal fire that went out of control.
The city of Berkeley is looking at whether Tuolumne Camp can be rebuilt. It is collaborating with the Friends of Berkeley Tuolumne Camp group, whose numbers exceed 2,000 and who maintain an active Facebook page and organize fundraisers. On Monday, April 28, there will be a Music and Table Skits night at the Freight & Salvage which, along with entertainment, will include updates on the camp by Mayor Tom Bates and city officials. Tickets, which cost $5, are still available.
As to what Baum plans to do with the scorched watch, he said: "I'm keeping it as a souvenir and remembrance of camp and my experience there, and as a symbol of survival."

Woman diagnosed with Alzheimer's at just 36, and her mother shared a harrowing message
30 December 28, 2018 | by Sarthak Parajulee
A heartbroken mother shared an emotional message about Alzheimer's disease, which has devastated her family including her 39-year-old daughter.
Rita Pepper is a mother to Carla Bramall, who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's at just the age of 36. She had started developing dementia-related symptoms at the age of 30.
Bramall, a mother-of-two, is currently living in a care home, bedbound, and unable to recognize her own family. She cannot even speak or so much as move her head.
Apparently, she inherited the disease from her family. Her father, Barry, also lost his life because of the same disease. Similarly, her grandfather and uncle also lost their lives when they were in their 40's because of Alzheimer's.

Follow us on Twitter to learn more.
Bramall's family, especially mother Pepper and brother Lee, are now opening up about their heartbreaking experience so that more people are aware of Alzheimer's.
Pepper has even set up a fundraising page in Bramall's honor, the purpose of which is to raise enough funding to support the research for finding new treatments for the disease.
The bereaved mother has shared her tragic experience, stating that watching her daughter go through the painful disease is "breaking" her heart.
She also revealed that Bramall's children rarely see their mother now as it pains them to see her in such a condition.
Another lesson that Pepper wants people to take from her daughter's case is that Alzheimer's disease attacks even young people.
"It might be too late for Barry and Carla but we are desperate for people to help us raise awareness for the future generations who will be affected by this cruel disease," Pepper further wrote in her message.
She also mentioned that Alzheimer's Research UK is working to conduct one of the best researches into the treatment for dementia, which is why they are trying to raise funds for the charity.
However, donating to the research related to dementia is something that is within her power, which she can do for the people with Alzheimer's to fight back.
She concluded her message in a rather emotional note stating that the only thing her grandchildren want for Christmas is their mother back, but she knows that wish will not come true.
As with any disease, spotting the early warning signs can be vital for the fight against the Alzheimer's as well.
One must look out for the symptoms including constant worrying about remembering things, spotty recollection of recent important events, and getting lost while driving or traveling.
Woman shares father's journey through Alzheimer's with the world, and her diary is touching
report from Alzheimer's Association revealed that around 45% of American seniors, who are of age 85 or older, suffer from Alzheimer's. About one in 10 people aged 65 or older may have Alzheimer's.
It is the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S. and more women than men, nearly two-thirds, have this disease.
Previously, a son made headlines by coming up with a special diet for her mother suffering from Alzheimer's, which helped her fight back.

If you are in search of a mind-boggling breakfast place near Calangute, look no further than the Infantaria Cafe.
Located on the Calangute – Baga road and opposite to Ticlo Resort, Infantaria serves a wide variety of options not only for breakfast but also for the lunch, dinner and other small munchies.
From the continental breakfast combos to Indian delicacies and from Chinese cuisine to mouth-watering seafood, the menu of Infantaria Cafe has it all.
Reaching Infantaria is not difficult, you can easily find the way on Google Maps no matter where you are in Goa.
We reached Infantaria at around 9.30 AM and after going through the menu, I ordered the continental breakfast combo, which looked fulfilling and delicious.
When the breakfast was served, my food plate looked something like this.
It had sunny side up, sausages & salami, potato and tomato, and baked beans.
Though the Infantaria Cafe timings are from morning 7.30 AM to midnight, breakfast is only served from 7.30 AM to 12 Noon.
Overall, the dining experience at Infantaria Cafe was an amazing one. I strongly recommend everyone to visit this beautiful cafe in Calangute on their visit to Goa.


Although evidence on psychosocial factors affecting the prognosis after rotator cuff repairs is scarce, a recent systematic review (Coronado et al., 2018) reported that preoperative patient expectationis an important predictorof patient-reported outcomes in patients after rotator cuff surgery. Furthermore, it reported that preoperative patient expectation may be a modifiable target for enhancing recovery.Greater preoperative expectations are consistently and independently associated with significantly better performance on multiple outcomes after rotator cuff repair. Whereas factors such as tear size, and repair technique were not significant predictors (Henn et al., 2007).
These results seem obvious, considering the evidence existing in other musculoskeletal problems. But do we take expectations sufficiently into accountin research and in clinical practice? These findings provide substantial evidence that patients' expectations are an important factor to target, both for expectations regarding conservative as well as surgical treatments.
The United Kingdom Rotator Cuff Tear Trial was a multi-centred three-way parallel group randomised trial comparing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery versus open/mini-open rotator cuff repair surgery versus Rest then Exercise (RtE = not physiotherapy and not involving face-to-face communication with a therapist) for rotator cuff tears of the shoulder (Carr et al., 2014). The trial was halted because only 17% of the patients allocated to the RtE group remained in their initial group and 77% of the group crossed over to the surgery group during or after completing the RtE treatment (Carr et al., 2017).
From qualitative analyses, it seemed that three factors were of influencein the decision to switch to surgical treatment (Minns et al., 2018).
1)Impact of symptoms and diagnosis: Long duration of severe pain and prior failed conservative treatment.
2)Perceptions and expectations of treatment: RtE was often experienced negatively because of prior failure or lack of time to rest and patients felt the tendon should be fixed. Surgeons were perceived to believe "tears need repairing".
3)Professional communication: Patients reported varying views in the decision making, going from no joint-decision up to good communication explaining the role of the rotator cuff.
These results highlight the importance to strive for "Equipoise", meaning the treatments under comparison should have equal value and acceptability. However, both patients and clinicians often have strong treatment preferences. This makes it extremely difficult for clinicians, patients and researchers in trials and underlines the limitation that trials most often are not designed for personalized care.
For clinical purposes it is clear that shared-decision makingis extremely important. To achieve aligned agreement on the treatment plan (e.g. yes to surgery), the communication stylefrom the caregiver towards the patient, represents a key element. In a recent study by Lawrence et al. (Lawrence et al., 2017), where preoperative counselling by the surgeon was tested whether or not it changed the patients' expectations for shoulder surgery, no alteration on expectations could be detected. The question remained whether the type of information transformation or the content was the cause for these results. It is found that patients have trouble to recall the content of such a counselling session, even right after the dialogue. Furthermore, they seem to seek information from the internet and shape their expectations and believes respectively. Interestingly, patients felt better informed after preoperative counselling if multimedia tools were involved, even if the content remained the same.
Furthermore, the content of preoperative counselling sessions in clinics may be strongly based on the biomechanical modelfor shoulder pain and dysfunction, where anatomy and rotator cuff function are mainly addressed. Yet, different studies have highlighted a lack of a relation between structural damage and clinical picture and the authors pointed out, that outcome after surgery does not (Carr et al., 2017) or only moderately (Raman et al., 2017) relate to the size of tear, or surgery technique etc. There are structural predictors for poor outcome after rotator cuff repair e.g. muscle quality like fatty infiltration (Raman et al., 2017), yet again there is evidence that function does not necessarily relate to cuff integrity. As it is shown that patients, who re-tore after surgery still achieved functional improvement of their shoulder (Carr et al., 2017). Correspondingly all this evidence highlights the role of non-specific therapeutic factors.
The alignment of preoperative expectationsbetween patients and caregivers needs to be better understood and looked at. Communication style, multimedia involvement and educational content shape the patients' perspectives. Therefore, we need to "put our shoulders to the" development of interventions which support shared decision-making and align the expectations of caregivers and patients. With this aim, clearer and more comprehensive insight in pain mechanisms, pain drivers and maintainers of rotator cuff problems is required for patients and caregivers. We strive to move together, shoulder to shoulder, to an informed consent.

The confusion between input variables and output variables stems from one of the primary differences between the business and social sectors. In business, money is both an input—a resource, a means for achieving greatness—and an output, a measure of success. Whereas in the social sectors, unlike business, money is only an input, only a means, only a method. It is not a measure of greatness, a measure of success.
But what if your outputs are inherently not measurable? The basic idea is still the same. You must separate inputs from outputs, and hold yourself accountable for progress in the outputs even if those outputs defy measurement.

Champion Trainer Nicky Henderson has at least 20 horses going to the 2014 Cheltenham Festival among them the likes of My Tent or Yours, Grandouet, Bobs Worth and Captain Conan to name just a few.
Along with them though he has also entered three of his potential Grand National Runners in the form of Triolo D'Alene, Long Run and Hunt Ball, with the only one not getting dual entries being Shakalakaboomboom.
"The National is the prime objective and as he won at Kelso last week he doesn't need to go again.
"At the moment that's the way we're leaning and we'll be giving the Gold Cup a miss.
Which is good news for supporters who think that the 2011 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner can do the business at Aintree this year and add to his already incredible achievements.
What is particularly interesting is that Henderson plans to give Triolo D'Alene his prep run at Cheltenham. Although many trainers shy away from running their horses at both festivals due to their proximity to one another, it seems like Henderson is fast running out of alternative options for his 7-year-old Hennessy Gold Cup winner.
He said: "His principal objective is the Grand National, but I've got to get a run into him before and I'm getting towards the situation where that will have to be at Cheltenham.
"If he goes there, let's hope he wins there, he won't get a penalty for the National so that doesn't matter, but it would be as part of a plan for the National, that's his main aim.
Nicky Henderson has never won a Grand National and has already stated that he has to win it this year if he is to retain his Champion Trainer crown but it's been 74 years since a horse that young won the National and that was Bogskar all the way back in 1940.
That little fact hasn't detracted from his support which at one point had backed him all the way into the position of ante-post favourite and although Teaforthree has since taken over that particular mantel, Triolo D'Alene is still as short as 20/1 with Paddy Power to win the 2014 Grand National.


Five of President Bush`s Cabinet secretaries devoted a day to education Thursday, visiting schools here to show the president`s concern for education and domestic issues as he builds toward his 1992 re-election campaign.
The Cabinet secretaries fanned out through the city, visiting a public high school, two elementary schools, a community college and a general educational development class at a public housing project. Their trip took on the trappings of a campaign with advance people, a high school band and a rally.
Omaha has adopted the president`s ''America 2000'' education campaign, which relies more on innovation and private-sector contributions than federal money, and the Cabinet members talked about everything but large increases in federal spending on education.
But the schools the officials visited and the programs they toured showed evidence that money-private or public-can make a big difference in education. For instance, the computers Skinner viewed at North High were paid for with portions of a $500,000 federal grant for magnet schools, according to Principal Thomas Harvey.
And some officials, including several Nebraska Democrats not invited to share platforms with the Cabinet members, stressed that more funds are needed, along with the administration`s rhetorical emphasis.
''If an education program is going to work, everybody has to pull together and that`s not the way this has been organized,'' said Rep. Peter Hoagland (D-Neb.), who attended one rally but was not invited to speak.
The America 2000 education policy calls for private companies to help fund public schools and for Congress to help set up innovative schools in every state. It also would permit some parents more choice in selecting public schools for their children.
Labor Secretary Lynn Martin visited a private-public high school career readiness program at Metropolitan Community College that was partially funded by a $540,000 four-year Department of Education grant. At least as much money came from First Data Resources, a private firm.
Joe Distefano, who handles public relations for the program, said it was nice to have the Cabinet members in town, but if he had to choose between the visit and the federal money, he`d take the money.
''It`s more important to get the money, because without the dollars, you can`t run a program like this,'' he said.
The Republican administration`s education day in Nebraska`s largest city came just a week or two before the expected announcment of the presidential candidacy of Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.). Administration officials said there was no connection, since the event was planned months ago, before Kerrey signaled he was ready to consider a presidential bid.
Agriculture Secretary Edward Madigan and Housing Secretary Jack Kemp also made the trip to Omaha, visiting a parochial school and the housing project`s high-school equivalency class, respectively.
First Lady Barbara Bush and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator William Reilly also were on the road Thursday, going to Maryland schools, following up on the Bushes` visit to a Maine school Tuesday.
Education Secretary Lamar Alexander, who coordinated the Cabinet trip and read a story to a 2nd-grade class, said the trip was intended to be bipartisan, noting that Nebraska Democratic Gov. Benjamin Nelson participated in the events.
Alexander said the Cabinet officials hoped to change American`s attitudes on education.
''The most important thing we can do is help unsell the idea that the nation is at risk but somehow all of us are okay,'' he said.
Skinner said the group had considered doing its education day in Chicago but decided against it because the ''turmoil that exists in the Chicago school system took them out of the running.'' The Chicago schools settled their budget just last weekend, but teacher contracts are still unresolved.

Day Sixty-Eight- Morris Louis- Rainbow Veils
lindacleary March 9, 2014 March 10, 2014 Uncategorized
It's Day 68 and I'm rushing to get this done before midnight. Had a crazy day buying furniture for the house, then spent all day putting it together (well, my hubby did most of that!) and then organizing my art space. We also have two couches in the living room so plenty of seating space. Join me in celebrating Morris Louis today. I didn't start painting until almost 10pm tonight! So, it was definitely rushed, but totally fun!
Morris Louis, born Morris Louis Bernstein (November 28, 1912 – September 7, 1962), was an American painter. During the 1950s he became one of the earliest exponents of Color Field painting. Living in Washington, D.C. Louis, along with Kenneth Noland and other Washington painters formed an art movement that is known today as the Washington Color School.
From 1929 to 1933, he studied at the Maryland Institute of Fine and Applied Arts
(now Maryland Institute College of Art) on a scholarship, but left shortly before completing the program. Louis worked at various odd jobs to support himself while painting and in 1935 was president of the Baltimore Artists' Association. From 1936 to 1940, he lived in New York and worked in the easel division of the Works Progress Administration Federal Art Project. During this period, he knew Arshile Gorky, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Jack Tworkov. He also dropped his last name.
He returned to his native Baltimore in 1940 and taught privately. In 1948, he pioneered the use of Magna paint – a newly developed oil basedacrylic paint made for him by his friends, New York City paintmakers Leonard Bocour and Sam Golden. In 1952, Louis moved to Washington, D.C.. Living in Washington, D.C., he was somewhat apart from the New York scene and he was working almost in isolation. During the 1950s he and a group of artists that included Kenneth Noland, Gene Davis, Tom Downing, Howard Mehring Anne Truitt and Hilda Thorpe among others were central to the development of Color Field painting.
The basic point about Louis's work and that of other Color Field painters, sometimes
known as the Washington Color School in contrast to most of the other new approaches of the late 1950s and early 1960s, is that they greatly simplified the idea of what constitutes the look of a finished painting. They continued in a tradition of painting exemplified by Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman, Clyfford Still, Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell, and Ad Reinhardt. Eliminating gestural, compositional drawing in favor of large areas of raw canvas, solid planes of thinned and fluid paint, utilizing an expressive and psychological use of flat, and intense color and allover, repetitive composition. One of Louis's most important series of Color Field paintings were his Unfurleds.
All of the Color Field artists were concerned with the classic problems of pictorial space and the flatness of the picture plane. In 1953, Louis and Noland visited Helen Frankenthaler's New York studio, where they saw and were greatly impressed by her stain paintings especially Mountains and Sea (1952). Upon their return to Washington, Louis and Noland together experimented with various techniques of paint application. Louis characteristically applied extremely diluted, thinned paint to an unprimed, unstretched canvas, allowing it to flow over the inclined surface in effects sometimes suggestive of translucent color veils. The importance of Frankenthaler's example in Louis's development of this technique has been noted.
Louis reported that he thought of Frankenthaler as the bridge between Jackson Pollock and the possible. However, even more so than Frankenthaler, Louis eliminated the brush gesture, although his flat, thin pigment is at times modulated in billowing and subtle tones.
In 1954, Louis produced his mature Veil Paintings, which were characterized by overlapping, superimposed layers of transparent color poured onto and stained into sized or unsized canvas. The Veil Paintings consist of waves of brilliant, curving color-shapes submerged in translucent washes through which separate colors emerge principally at the edges. Although subdued, the resulting color is immensely rich. In another series, the artist used long parallel bands and stripes of pure color arranged side by side in rainbow effects.
The thinned acrylic paint was allowed to stain the canvas, making the pigment at one with the canvas as opposed to "on top". This conformed to Greenberg's conception of "Modernism" as it made the entire picture plane flat.
Louis destroyed many of his paintings between 1955 and 1957. He resumed work on the Veils in 1958–59. These were followed by
Florals and Columns (1960), Unfurleds (1960–61)—in which rivulets of more opaque, intense color flow from both sides of large white fields of raw canvas—and finally the Stripe paintings (1961–62). Between summer 1960 and January/February 1961, he created about 150 Unfurleds, generally on mural-size canvases.
Morris Louis was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1962 and soon after, died at his home in Washington, D.C., on September 7, 1962. The cause of his illness was attributed to prolonged exposure to paint vapors. The Estate of Morris Louis is represented exclusively by Diane Upright, a former professor of fine art at Harvard University.

"Capri, queen of rocks, in your amaranth and lily coloured dress I lived developping the happiness and the pain, the vineyard full of splendid bunches that I conquered on the earth." This is what the great poet Pablo Neruda wrote of the island which, since 1950 hosts thousands of visitors daily. With its natural beauties it is one of the main attractions in Campania.
The many small villages facing the sea, the hanging gardens and the monasteries strung along the indented coasts of the Gulf of Salerno, all this makes the "Divine Coast", destination of tourists from all over the World looking for enchanting places.
Everything lies sunken by flames and dark ashes: the gods would have desired that such a destruction wouldn't have been allowed to them". Thus Martial describes the historical places buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 a.C. The archaeological sites are of a World wide historical interest for the information they give us about uses, customs and traditions of the ancient Roman civilization.
Belonged to the Royal Family of the Bourbon dinasty of Naples, who entrusted the famous architect Vanvitelli with its construction, the Royal Palace is still nowadays among the most visited monuments of Italy.
Besides its natural conformation and the historical heritage which make this island a preferred destination, most of its success stemmed from the many thermal springs mentioned by Greek and Latin writers.
Unmistakeable symbol of Naples, Vesuvius overlooks the Bay majestically. It is possible to climb right to the highest peak of this volcano, one of the most famous in the World, by guided tours.
Capital of the Kingdom of the two Sicilies, this City offers its tourists various aspects, from the historical-cultural afforded by its churches, museums and monuments, to that naturalistic interest provided by the surrounding landscapes. Not to be missed: the Church of Santa Chiara, the Sansevero Chapel and the Excavations of San Lorenzo, the Carthusian Monastery of San Martino, the National Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Capodimonte.

Natalie Portman's Jane Foster Will Become Thor in 'Thor: Love and Thunder'
The Taika Waititi film will take inspiration in part from Jason Aaron's comic series in which Jane Foster becomes the Goddess of Thunder.

To cheers loud enough to shake Valhalla to its foundations, Natalie Portman took the stage at San Diego Comic-Con's Hall H with the mighty hammer Mjolnir in hand. Yes, Portman's Jane Foster will become Thor in director Taika Waititi's next Marvel Studios film "Thor: Love and Thunder."
The astrophysicist Foster became the Goddess of Thunder in comic book writer Jason Aaron's extraordinary "Thor" series starting in 2014. Foster was dying of cancer but she found herself worthy of Mjolnir when Thor himself suddenly became unworthy — he would go on to call himself the Odinson and ride a freaky giant goat, while Foster's Thor fought for justice. The only problem was that when she became Thor, the transformation each time would cause all the progress Foster had made with her chemotherapy to vanish. Being a superhero, being Thor, was the right thing for Foster to do — but it was literally killing her. Which made her all the more heroic, and thus all the more worthy of wielding Mjolnir.
Who knows how much of Aaron's storyline will make it into Waititi's film? Chris Hemsworth will be back as the God of Thunder — will he lose his powers? Will he become just the Odinson? Who knows? In "Avengers: Endgame," he made Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie the new lord of Asgard to rule in his stead, since he felt he was not up to the mantle of leadership.
"Thor: Love and Thunder" opens November 5, 2021.

Q: Referencing nested control I have two gridviews - one nested in the other - and I am trying to set the datasource of the child grid programmaticly, but am not sure how to reference it.
<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGridResults" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="true" OnNeedDataSource="RadGridResults_NeedDataSource">
    <MasterTableView>
        <NestedViewTemplate>
            <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGridDetails" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="true">
            </telerik:RadGrid>
        </NestedViewTemplate>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

I have tried this:
RadGrid radGridDetails = RadGridResults.FindControl("RadGridDetails") as RadGrid;
radGridDetails.DataSource = myList.ToList();

But this returns a NullReferenceException.
Can someone please show how I can accomplish this?

A: Just databind the collection directly:
<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGridDetails" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="true"
    DataSource='<%# Eval("myList") %>'>
</telerik:RadGrid>

A: You can find any control inside a NestedViewTemplate by getting the grid's GridNestedViewItem.  Here is how you reference the child grid programmatically:
var radGridDetails =
    ((RadGridResults.MasterTableView.Items[0].ChildItem as GridNestedViewItem)
    .FindControl("RadGridDetails") as RadGrid);

I would still databind the grid as @Servy demonstrated, but for referencing the grid like you asked, the above code should work.

A: object dataKeyValue = ((source as RadGrid).NamingContainer as DataItem).GetDataKeyValue("ID");

//use the dataKeyValue to fetch the correct Employee object

Hi would be mommies & daddies... Pregnancy is a natural life event and wonderful experience, hope u all r cherishing experience in whatever stage / trimester u have reached. To take care of Pre-post and Pregnancy term we need to take care of our food intake and life style. It's a fact and even our Upanishads say that food determines both the fertility & protection of our progeny. Still we undervalue the role of food in our reproductive health.
I will be discussing below about some foods which are good for pregnancy and some foods are better to be avoided.
1) Foods which are easy to cook and easy to digest: our digestion slows down during pregnancy so have foods which are cooked properly. Cooking helps to get Rasa or essence of food or insimle words nutrients. Once these nutrients are assimilated well, it will nurture you and also your baby.
2) Foods which hydrates and works as a natural antacid: Have lots of fruits / vegetables and other fluids like chaach / coconut water / shikanji /soups most important -WATER etc. this helps to hydrate your body as it is important to keep a proper fluid balance during the pregnancy as the placenta and amniotic fluid depends on it so need to hydrate the body also goes up.
Secondly food acts a natural antacid, due to hormonal imbalances especially in the first trimester there are signs of nausea or morning sickness. The best way to avoid it is have small frequent meals. This won't let acid build up so u will feel better. If you can only remember one thing, then remember the rule of 3 – aim to have 3 meals and 3 snacks by eating every 3 hours.
BUT PLEASE DON'T EAT FOR TWO - we just need to add around 300-500 calories during the entire pregnancy.
Have a nut cracker on empty stomach in the morning or a fruit in the morning. Keeping a small slice of lemon with little salt on it or thin slice of ginger in your mouth also helps a lot.
3) Eat foods which are naturally high in micro nutrients: micronutrients like folic acid, calcium and iron are very important for pregnancy, for healthier pregnancy we need an array of micronutrients which we get from our seasonal fruits and vegetables.
1) SUGAR: Mostly females have sugar cravings but weird cravings are felt during pregnancy. Please choose healthier options as Jaggery to white or refined sugar - gur is much better as it is unrefined and has many minerals like iron so helps to enhance your hemoglobin , on the other hand white sugar or refined sugar as the name suggests undergoes chemical cleaning so better to avoid white sugar .
PLS FOLLOW THE LAW OF MODERATION - don't overeat eat even if the particular food is supposed to be very healthy.
GOOD SUGAR: All seasonal fruits, coconut water, gur and ghee or gur and saunf post meals.
BAD SUGARS: bakery products like cakes, pastries or biscuits , tetra pack juices etc.
2 ) SALT : during pregnancy our serum sodium levels falls as the blood volume goes up , this could be one of the reasons why women crave for salty stuff.
GOOD SALT: Regular salt used in cooking, little bit of kala namak on our fruits or salads is good.
BAD SALT: packaged and processed foods like chips or salted nuts or a pack of popcorns while watching movie etc.
Especially if u r a hypertension patient.
how much is too much. having a cup or two of chai with little gur will not harm , but excess of caffeine will lead to dehydration .
# don't have tea or coffee as a meal replacement .
# no tea or coffee post any meal be it breakfast or as late night meal post dinner.
1. Carbohydrates: With gestational diabetes, you need to limit your carb intake and space meals properly. Eating lots of carbs at a time can lead to a sudden spike in blood sugar levels. Instead, you must eat more of complex carbs or combine carbs with proteins eg multigrain Atta.
2. Proteins Proteins should be included in your diet with carbs. This will help you maintain the perfect blood sugar balance. Lean proteins are recommended for women with gestational diabetes.
3. Unsaturated, healthy fats: Healthy fats should be combined with proteins and carbs in a good proportion eg ghee . This will work well for women with gestational diabetes by keeping their blood sugar levels under control.
The best pregnancy diet plan is happiness. Women should be happy always at the time of pregnancy because mental health leads to a healthy body and good things in life.
Don't take tension even if there is some tension in life, try to ignore them. Live life king size. Tension leads to more tension and it may cause of depression and this time you should be very healthy from your body and mind.
Try meditate at the morning or whenever you get time. Do meditation, connect yourself with the supreme power around you. Feel your baby. This really great pregnancy diet plan. This pregnancy diet plan is for mental health.


India will be amongst the countries that will lead the digital transformer portfolio of Siemens, a company official told T&D India. Siemens, it may be recalled, recently launched the world's first comprehensive digital transformer portfolio at Hannover Messe, Germany. The new Sensformer™ merges physics and information and ensures digital intelligence for transformers regardless of their product class, size and rating.
Siemens will shift its complete transformer portfolio to Sensformer™ starting June 2018. The transition to Senseformers will be across the entire transformer portfolio, and will start with power transformers. The Siemens power transformer plant at Kalwa in Maharashtra will be amongst the first globally to deliver Sensformers, the Siemens official told T&D India. The Kalwa power transformer factory of Siemens was inaugurated in December 2007 and specializes in extra high-voltage power transformers.
Senseformers will be completely new units and it would not be possible to retrofit "digital features" on existing transformers, the Siemens official clarified.
As transformers are placed at critical nodes of the power grid, they are perfect sensors for grid conditions containing full information on energy flow. "The current challenge of the transformer industry is to enable connectivity for all assets. With the launch of Sensformer™ we combine function and information in one product with the focus on simplicity and smart data", says Beatrix Natter, CEO Transformers at Siemens Energy Management. "Like the smart phone has replaced the cell phone, all transformers will be Sensformer™ in the near future," Natter adds.
Sensformer™ provides the easy step-in to digitalization for all customers, turning the "voltage regulators" into an info-hub. The data will allow for conclusions on the status of the assets as well as the power grid and thus allow for enhanced flexibility and optimized operation of the entire grid. While currently available solutions are imposing additional hurdles in terms of cost and complexity to customers, Sensformer™ will already be equipped per default with easy-to-use digital intelligence. The basic functionalities of Sensformer™ (incl. hardware, software and cloud access) are kept simple for ease of use. The Sensformer™ also holds the advantage of offering highest stability by limiting physical measurements to the bare minimum as well as avoiding unnecessary IT equipment at site, the release said.
All Sensformers will be equipped with an IoT gateway to provide direct real-time measurements of oil level, top oil temperature, LV winding current and GPS location. MindSphere is Siemens' cloud-based, open Internet of Things (IoT) platform that connects physical assets to the digital world, and enables powerful applications and digital services.
Siemens has also empowered Senseformers with best-in-class cyber security features complying to all the relevant standards today. With more than one million devices already connected to MindSphere, Siemens has first-hand experience with cybersecurity challenges in the age of the Industrial Internet of Things.


My name is Jana Wunsch and I am a busy mother of three. I am 45 years young and I truly believe that life begins in your 40's!! I have been fairly fit for most of my adult years. I have tried just about everything when it comes to fitness programs but it was time for a change and through word of mouth I met Elite Personal Crossfit trainer, Vince Carter. I immediately was addicted to his program and began a journey down a path that lead to extreme body transformation and quick results.
One of the major components to all fitness programs is nutrition. I wanted to get the most out of my program so I immediately made a trip to Max Muscle Sports Nutrition store to purchase products that would compliment my new lifestyle. Mark Sarale and his team at the Stockton, Ca location helped me to understand the importance of gaining lean muscle mass and the products used to achieve that and how to recover from extreme workouts. I have been training for approximately one year and part of that training involves Olympic lifting, which I had never done or had any interest in at all.
Incorporated into the many components of Crossfit, it builds muscle and core strength, I am able to deadlift 205 pounds and clean and jerk 120 pounds. My body continues to change and I love the way I am able to be incredibly strong and still maintain a feminine physique. I recently competed in a Crossfit competition for men and women ages 40 – 49.
I completed three brutal workouts in one day in a specified time cap and did them all at prescribed weights. I could have never done it without the discipline of training every day and proper nutrition. I drink a Max High 5 shake with Max Glutamine before and after every workout to ensure growth and recovery and it truly makes a difference.
I am happier and healthier than ever and I owe a huge thank you to my trainer and Max Muscle products for working together to aid in my success.
