41. Position in India (Provisions of Civil Procedure Code).-
As to the introduction of similar provisions for a similar procedure in India the witnesses before us have pointed out that the practice already obtains in a modified form under the provisions relating to the examination of parties and discovery and inspection under Orders X, XI and XII of the Civil Procedure Code. The provisions for the amendment of pleadings are found in Order VI, rules 16 and 17 of the Civil Procedure Code. Rule 16 give power to the Court at any stage of the proceedings to order to be struck out or amended any matter in any pleading which may be (1) unnecessary, (2) scandalous or which may tend to prejudice, embarrass or delay the fair trial of the suit.
Similarly the duty of framing precise issues is cast upon the court under the provisions of Order XIV and if these issues are framed after the preliminary examination of the parties and the reading of pleadings as already suggested, it would no doubt lead to a considerable simplification of the issues. Thus it can be said that the rules of the Civil Procedure Code amply provide for all the matters enumerated in rule 16 of the Rules of the Civil Procedure for the United States District Courts.
42. Introduction unnecessary.-
An elaborate pre-trial conference of the nature contemplated above would, it was said, be needless waste of time. The same purpose could well be achieved by an examination of the parties under Order X of the Civil Procedure Code. We were informed by a senior Judge of the Madras High Court that the method of a pre-trial conference had been tried on the Original Side without much success.
Conditions in our country, we think, are not yet ripe for the introduction of such an innovation which would throw upon the court the responsibility not only of examining the parties and settling the issues, but also of considering what documents need be produced or proved or of considering the facts necessary to be proved and the manner of their proof. The object of the pre-trial system is to define the scope of the dispute and ascertain the true issues which arise. Such a definition and clarification does in many cases tend to bring about a compromise. Order X of the Code of Civil Procedure already provides for the examination of the parties by the court before the framing of the issues.
The object of such an examination is to get admission or denials of the allegations of fact made in the pleadings. The examination will have the effect of clearly defining and limiting the scope of the inquiry and focusing attention on the real points in dispute. If these provisions are carefully followed, they should result in bringing about the salutary consequences which are said to flow from a pre-trial conference. We do not therefore think it desirable to incorporate in our procedural laws the elaborate system of pre-trial conferences which obtains in some other countries.
Attendance of witnesses
43. Summonses to witnesses.-
We shall next deal with the summoning and attendance of witnesses. Under the Code, parties are entitled at any time after the institution of the suit to obtain by an application to the court summonses to persons whose attendance is required either to give evidence or to produce documents. This is generally done after the issues have been framed and matters relating to discovery and inspection have been completed. In practice, the application for summoning the witnesses must be made at the earliest opportunity so that sufficient time may be left for service before the date fixed for hearing of the suit.
44. Non-service of witness summons.-
Considerable delays arise from a failure to serve summonses on witnesses, even when the parties have filed their applications for witness summonses in time and paid the travelling and other expenses as required by law. The causes of these delays are, generally speaking, the same as those which lead to delays in the service of processes on the defendants. Measures similar to those indicated earlier have therefore to be adopted to remove these delays.
45. Delays in applying for summons (Laxity of presiding officers) (Witness lists to be filed).-
There is a large body of opinion that parties are not sufficiently diligent in applying for the issue of summonses for the attendance of witnesses. Sometimes a party who for some reason is not interested in the suit being heard on a particular date deliberately applied for issuing summonses to witnesses at a late stage when the chance of effective service on the witness for his attendance has become remote. The summons is in such cases returned unserved for want of sufficient time; or the witness having been given very short notice is unable to attend the court. The case has therefore to be adjourned to a future date. In such cases, summonses may be issued at the risk of the party.
If service is not effected or the witness is unable to attend because the summonses were not applied for and process fees not paid within a reasonable time for service and attendance, the court will be justified in refusing to adjourn the hearing on the ground of the nonappearance of witnesses. Unfortunately, considerable laxity prevails in this matter which results in frequent adjournments and considerable delays in the disposal of suits. We suggest that it should be provided by an amendment of Order XVI, rules 1 and 2 that the list of witnesses to be summoned should be filed, as far as possible, within a time limit not exceeding thirty days from the date of the framing of the issues.
The date of hearing may be fixed only after such a list is filed and having regard to the time that may be reasonably required for summoning the witnesses and in consultation with the lawyers. The Rules of almost all the High Courts contain clear instructions in this matter for the guidance of the subordinate courts. The presiding officers should rigidly follow these instructions. The High Courts and the district judges should, from time to time, draw their attention to the Rules and insist on their being followed.
46. Non-attendances of witnesses and penalties.-
In regard to witnesses who wilfully avoid service of summons or attendance after service, the court has ample powers under section 32 and Order XVI, rules 10 to 13 of the Code. Under section 32, the attendance of a witness to whom a summons has been issued may be compelled by (a) the issue of a warrant for his arrest, (b) the attachment and sale of his property, (c) a fine not exceeding Rs. 500 and (d) ordering him to furnish security for his appearance or in default committing him to civil prison.
The procedure to be followed in the case of a witness who fails to comply with the court's process is laid down in Order XVI, rules 10 to 13. Under rule 12 the court has power in certain cases to impose a fine upto Rs. 500 upon a witness who has failed to appear or failed to satisfy the court that he had a lawful cause for his absence. These powers are, however, rarely exercised. parties are for obvious reasons unwilling to move the court for exercising these powers against their own witnesses.
The Civil Justice Committee recommended that in such cases the parties should be offered the alternative of either applying for a coercive process against their defaulting witness or withdraw the witness if they refuse to apply for such process. They also suggested that in flagrant instances the courts should on their own initiative take action against recalcitrant witnesses and met out exemplary punishment for the contempt of the court's process.
47. Non-examination of witnesses.-
Frequently, however, wilful default on the part of the witnesses is not the cause of their failure to attend. Very often parties omit to make an application for summoning their witnesses because the heavy congestion of the court's file makes it unlikely that the case will be heard or the date fixed for hearing and the party wants to avoid the unnecessary expenditure of summoning a large number of witnesses. This question will be discussed in detail when we deal with the hearing of the suit.
Discourtesy to witnesses (Better treatment necessary).- Not infrequently a witness is treated with scant respect not only by the cross-examining lawyer but even by the presiding officer. There is a natural tendency on the part of witnesses to avoid the ordeal of a lengthy and sometimes unpleasant and undignified cross-examination which is so frequent a characteristic of the subordinate courts. Unnecessary rebukes, unfavourable comments upon his demeanour and ridicule in open court if the witness is sometimes driven to give an unintelligible answer, are not uncommon.
In our view this if one of the principal reason why witnesses shun the courts of law and avoid having to give evidence. We suggest that the High Courts should draw the attention of all presiding officers to the necessity of maintaining proper decorum in court and ensuring proper treatment of parties and their witnesses whatever their social status. They should be treated with courtesy and dignity and not permitted to be brow-beaten or insulted in court.
48. parties producing their witnesses without summons.-
We invited opinion on a proposal that the parties themselves should be initially responsible for procuring the attendance of their witnesses. The opinion is almost evenly divided. A section expressed the view that the parties should be made responsible for bringing their witnesses to court because they would be in a better position to procure their attendance and that summonses should be issued only in very special cases.
Others took the view that such a course would lead to delays and bargaining between parties and their witnesses and that in all cases, the court must help the party in enforcing the attendance of his witnesses. Some High Courts have amended their rules so as to enable the parties in the first instance to bring their witnesses by themselves undertaking the responsibility of serving the summonses. A similar enabling provision has now been made in the Civil Procedure Code (rule 1A of Order XVI). The new rule is:-
"Where any party to the suit has, at any time on or before the day fixed for the hearing of evidence, filed in the Court a list of persons either for giving evidence or for producing documents, the party may, without applying for summons under rule 1, bring any such person, whose name appears in the list,. to give evidence or to produce documents".
In Allahabad, rule 8 his been amended by providing that the witness summons may by leave of the Court be served by the party or his agent applying for the same by personal service, and failing such service it shall be served in the usual manner. A similar amendment has also been made in Bihar, Orissa and Madras. According to these amendments a party may, if he so chooses, obtain the leave of the court to effect service of summons personally upon his witnesses. In
Calcutta and Assam, on the other hand, it appears that the party is in the first instance bound to procure the attendance of his own witnesses except where it appears to the court that summons should be served by the court in the usual manner. The Calcutta rule therefore introduces the general practice of leaving the parties to procure attendance of their witnesses, summonses being issued by the court only in special cases, if a party is prepared to take the responsibility of keeping his own witnesses present in court or to serve the summonses upon them personally, there will of course be no question of service through court.
49. Variety of witnesses brought without summons doubted.-
It is necessary in this connection to point out a difficulty which confronts a party who is prepared to bring his witnesses without summonses being issued. Generally, and particularly in the rural areas, a witness who appears to support the case of a party without being summoned through the court, is looked upon with suspicion and his detachment and impartiality are not considered above question. The general practice of the cross-examiner in the subordinate courts is to start his cross-examination with the question whether or not he appeared in response to a summons.
This practice acts as a deterrent to the parties making any attempt to bring their witness and leads to the witnesses insisting upon a summons being served before consenting to give their evidence. If therefore it is desired to amend the rules by making it obligatory upon the parties in the first instance to bring their own witnesses, it should also be understood that the impartiality of a witness who has come without a summons should not, on that account, be suspect.
Subject to this safeguard, we are of the view that the parties should in the first instance be made responsible to procure the attendance of their witnesses either by bringing them without summonses or by taking up the task of serving the summonses upon them. We therefore recommend an amendment of the Code on the lines of the Calcutta Rule providing the safeguard mentioned above. It should also be provided that when the service of summons is arranged by the party, the full process fees should not be payable by the party as is insisted upon in some States.
50. Filing of witness list.-
The Civil Justice Committee considered a proposal that a rule should be made whereby parties may be required to file lists of witnesses on a certain date and be prevented from calling witnesses other than those mentioned in the lists given by them, save in exceptional circumstances. Such a rule would, it was thought, interfere with the inherent right of the parties to call as many witnesses as they desired at any time. It was also thought that if such lists were filed, an opportunity would be given to the other side, who would know the names of witnesses, to persuade the witnesses either not to give evidence or to give evidence against the party who has called them. The Committee rightly rejected the first view, pointing out that there was no inherent right in the parties to call as many witnesses as it chose.
The Committee however felt that it was by no means uncommon for the opposite party, as soon as he knew that certain witnesses were being called against him, to use all means in his power to dissuade them from assisting his opponent. The Committee nevertheless took the view that it was better on the whole, that each party should know what the evidence of the other side would be and that the large majority of the litigants were not dishonest. They thought that there would be an attempt to tamper with the witnesses only in a minority of cases. We see no reason to take a different view.
However, not unoften, a witness named in the list may for some reason not be available to the party calling him. In such cases a party may desire to examine another witness who might be available but whose name might not have been included in the list of witnesses. A rigid rule, such as the one suggested, would deprive the party of the opportunity of leading such evidence. It was therefore urged that the right of a party to call a witness at any time should not be restricted. It should be for the court to decide whether a witness whose name is not included in the list should be allowed to be examined or whether a case should be adjourned to enable a party to call such a witness.
Moreover, rigidity in this matter may result in a party conducting the cross-examination of the opponent's witnesses in such a way as to necessitate the examination of additional witnesses and this would be denied to him under the proposed rule. On a careful consideration of all these aspects, therefore, we do not recommend the acceptance of this proposal. We should leave it to the good sense of the courts to decide every application for leading additional evidence on its own merits. The Court should however in all cases be required to ask the party to give an explanation why the evidence of witnesses other than those mentioned in the list is required.

Academy Award-winning director Tom Hooper helps showcase a new side of the storied rum brand. For the first time in Captain Morgan's nearly 60-year history, the brand has launched a new advertising campaign that takes its inspiration from the real-life privateer and rum icon, Captain Henry Morgan.
In advance of the national television debut in early June, the first "To Life, Love and Loot" commercial, entitled "DIVE," was unveiled exclusively to fans in attendance at 14 parties celebrating the Captain's birthday, and can now be viewed on the CaptainMorganUSA Facebook page and YouTube channel.
Academy Award-winning director Tom Hooper joined Captain Morgan aboard a 17th Century replica of the Galleon Andalucia – amongst other undisclosed tropical locations – to film the three feature film-caliber executions.

Hooper, who was honored with the Academy Award for Achievement in Directing (Best Director) at the 2011 Oscars for The King's Speech, is world-renowned for his riveting period pieces — one of the many reasons Captain Morgan engaged him to lead the new campaign.
"In paying homage to Captain Henry Morgan in our marketing efforts for the first time, we took great care to ensure that his portrayal of the time period was as authentic as possible," said Tom Herbst, brand director, Captain Morgan USA.
"When viewers see the spots from 'To Life, Love and Loot,' they will be struck by the richness and detail that only Tom Hooper can bring to life."
[ Also Read: Hugh Grant in The Pirates! Band of Misfits ]
Set in the mid-1600's, the campaign tells an interpretive, witty narrative about a great leader who fearlessly protected his crew and had the ability to gracefully navigate whatever life threw his way.
The first spot, "DIVE," showcases Captain Morgan and his unique prowess in diffusing a potentially violent situation when his crew is surprised by an enemy ship. To everyone's amazement, the Captain prevents an inevitable attack by executing a picture-perfect dive from his ship into the sea below, protecting his crew and ultimately transforming enemies into friends.
In addition to "DIVE," the campaign also features a second 60-second execution entitled, "GLASS," and a dedicated 30-second responsible drinking ad entitled, "RIDE HOME," which debuts the brand's new social responsibility message: Raise your glass, always in moderation.
[ Announcement: Thought Leaders Invited to Write for RMN News Site ]
Created by Anomaly, the "To Life, Love and Loot" spots will air in general brand rotation throughout the summer on top sports and entertainment outlets, including ESPN, TBS and TNT.

INSIGHTS INTO A FRAUD – WHAT HAPPENED AT ROCK CAPITAL MARKETS?
On January 15, 2019, Thomas C. Lindstrom woke up, went to court, and under a plea arrangement with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Chicago, pled guilty to one criminal count of wire fraud, ended a years-long investigation, and received a five-year, federal prison sentence (with a two-year supervised release afterward).
The Path to Perdition
Lindstrom's path to a jail cell – and loss of his career, home, and livelihood – began in about 2014 with his decision to lie about trades he was making in "out of the money" (or OTM) Options on 10-year United States Treasury Bond futures (or "T-Note Options"). To be clear, out of the money options (OTM options) is an aggressive trading method, which can yield high profits but also carries an associated potential for great downside risk that should be handled only by "veteran or experienced option traders." Lindstrom might have earned his investors' and his employer's trust by being a registered broker with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) since 1993, trading mostly in the complex world of options as a relatively well-known floor broker.
Civil Fraud Case
Lindstrom's frauds were discovered in early 2015. In September 2016, the CFTC filed a civil enforcement complaint in the U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, charging Lindstrom with fraud in trading options on 10-year U.S. Treasury Note futures, or "T-Note Options." The CFTC complaint alleged that "Lindstrom perpetrated a scheme to falsely inflate the value and profitability of his options position and lied about the quantity of options and the risk associated with his position [all in order] to defraud his employer, proprietary trading firm Rock Capital Markets, LLC (Rock Capital), into paying him $285,000 in draws to which he was not entitled." The CFTC further alleged that due to Lindstrom's frauds, Rock Capital Markets lost about $14 million, putting it out of business after more than two decades of operations as a small professional trading group. Lindstrom and the CFTC entered into a Consent Order last year that permanently enjoins Lindstrom from ever trading again – directly or indirectly – and requires him to make full restitution of the $14 million to his victims. He was also required to pay a civil fine of $855,000 to the CFTC for his misconduct.
Federal Criminal Case.
Also, in 2016, a Federal Grand Jury entered an eight-count criminal indictment against Lindstrom, arising from his fraudulent trading activity, as detailed in the CFTC Civil Case, above.
The indictment said Lindstrom drew $285,000 in compensation from Rock Capital to which he was not entitled on those fraudulent T-Note Option trades.
Last year, Lindstrom entered a plea arrangement with the U. S. Attorney's Office, pleading guilty to one count of wire fraud, tied to an August 2014 wire transfer of $35,000 to him of wrongful compensation from Rock Capital. At sentencing, U. S. Judge Harry Leinenweber imposed the 5-year sentence, which is below the "recommended sentence" of 8 – 10 years, citing the "collateral damage on both sides" of the case, including lost jobs at Rock Capital and the impact to Lindstrom's family, with their dream home in foreclosure and Lindstrom headed to prison. Lindstrom's attorney asked that Lindstrom serve his 5-year sentence in the medium security Federal prison in Oxford, Wis., where he could receive treatment for alcohol abuse.
"A good man who made bad decisions."
Why did he do it? Lindstrom's attorney told the court at sentencing that Lindstrom is "a good man who made bad decisions when his income could no longer keep up with [his expensive North Shore] lifestyle" in Winnetka, IL, which included his family's "dream home, parochial school for his four children, and other [associated] expenses."
Lindstrom spoke at his sentencing hearing, tearfully apologizing for his conduct by reading from his prepared statement that, "I simply couldn't summon the courage to stop my awful conduct." Lindstrom said he kept going with the bad trades because, "I was frightened by failure."

/ MB in Dakahlia Celebrates Farmers' Day amid Tight Security Measures
MB in Dakahlia Celebrates Farmers' Day amid Tight Security Measures
The Muslim Brotherhood in Dakahlia celebrated two days ago farmers" day amid tight security measures.
Security forces prevented a large number of farmers and group leaders to participate in the celebration held at the Pharmacists" Club in Talkha.
The forces besieged the club entrances and seized the ID cards of a large number of participants.
Security sources said the group had not obtained a license to hold the celebration, while this claim was denied by the group leaders.
Dr. Hassan Gomaa, professor at the Agricultural Research Center (ARC), said during the celebration that the government had ordered farmers not to burn rice straw without giving logical or reasonable solutions.
He indicated that, as a result of this, more than 6 million tons of rice straw are burnt annually, stressing that straw can be turned into compost or animals fodders.
He said there was no problem in implementing the two solutions but that the problem was with officials sitting at their offices.
Gomaa added that the burning process has always taken place after sunset so that farmers would avoid paying fines.
He also added that when penalties were tougher, farmers used to burn at any time knowing that laws are only inscribed on papers and not implemented.
Agriculture Minister in the Hamas-led deposed Palestinian government Mohammed el-Agha said in a phone call with MB leaders during the celebration that thousands of hectares have been wiped out in the Gaza Strip.
He indicated that the losses of the agricultural sector amounted to $750 million over the past four years.
He pointed out that they all get agricultural supplies from the Zionist enemy and demanded that the Egyptian and Arab governments to show their solidarity so as to lift the siege imposed on the Strip.
Dr. Yousri Hanie, professor of Sharia at Al-Azhar Faculty of Religious Fundamentals, said that each citizen in Egypt should claim his rights, as the beginning of the right road is to say "No" while hoping for reforms.

Bruce Dickinson: What Does This Button Do?
Measuring the Popularity of Novels?
Apparently, the amount of ratings on GoodReads.com is highly correlated with the ratings, at least for John Green's four novels (r = .96). But is it really 'the more, the merrier'? I picked four more authors (in a non-random fashion), had a look at the respective correlations for their novels, and made a couple of graphs to illustrate the results.
The relationship is a negative one for Stephanie Meyer's books. Two books of J.K. Rowling are outliers – her first one in terms of ratings on GoodReads, her most recent one in terms of rating. I therefore took the liberty to plot a quadratic fit (instead of a linear fit). It appears that John Green might be an exception (like the Mongols?) Also, Amazon.com ratings tend to be higher; and again, there is no clear relationship between the amount of reviews and the average rating.
By the way, the correlation between Amazon.com ratings and GoodReads.com ratings for the 40 books I used above is r = .89. The correlation between number of Amazon.com reviews and Goodreads.com ratings is r = .75.
PS: If anyone is interested in the Stata code for the graphs, let me know. I guess, I'll add it here this weekend, anyway, but right now I should go to bed.

Actually, the ratings have decreased in a statistically significant way (alpha < .05). I used the two most recently archived pages from archive.org, which do not cover exactly 6 months. Still, ratings before 2013-02-03 were higher than those after that date.
A t-test (two-sided, unequal variances) yields p = 0.0009 (d = -0.12); and for the non-parametric fans, the Wilcoxon rank-sum (Mann-Whitney) test yields p = 0.0001.
A t-test (two-sided, unequal variances) yields p = 0.0188 (d = -0.09); the Wilcoxon rank-sum test yields p = 0.0008. Of course, significance testing might be a questionable procedure in this case – and also in general.
This is actually a census of all Amazon ratings, so there's no need to test whether ratings differ. The sample is the population. However, the written reviews could be regarded as a subsample of the ratings of all readers.
Is it a random sample? I don't think so. So can we draw proper conclusions from the significance test results? Nah. I won't provide a comprehensive discussion of the benefits and problems associated with the null hypothesis significance testing (NHST). I'll just name one of my favourite objections, which Cohen (1990, p. 1308) phrased nicely: "The null hypothesis, taken literally (and that's the only way you can take it in formal hypothesis testing), is always false in the real world." In the present, the null hypothesis would mean, that average rating of newer readers is exactly the same as the average rating of those who pre-ordered the book etc.
Anyway, the effect size suggests that the drop in ratings is very small, so it should be safe to argue that the book keeps appealing to new readers.
PS: Sorry for nitpicking; this should in no way diminish the article, which I think is highly insightful.
Today's mail contained a copy of "The Bestseller Job" (by Greg Cox), a novel based on the televion series "Leverage". I really like "Leverage" and I was sad to learn that its 5th season was going to be the last one. I'm not usually into novels that expand existing series, but on a whim I bought this one. I'm 76 pages in right now. (The book has 291 pages.) It is certainly too early for a final verdict. I just thought I'd put down my first impression, which, by the way, is positive. The writing style matches the editing of the television series; the plot fits the Leverage universe perfectly, and I'm thrilled that 3/4 of the story are still ahead of me. I like it when the summary on the back doesn't spoil the whole first half of a book, so I was pleasantly surprised how fast "The Bestseller Job" took off. I was even more enthralled to find the crew en route to Germany. Heck, we learn that Parker once had an alias from Stuttgart. And it's not just these nods to the country I live in, it's the acurate transition from one medium to another that makes me really happy. Okay, back to reading!

Ahmadinejad's aide targets Judiciary and Quds Force in new open letter
In a scathing open letter published online, a close aide to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has continued the public feud between the former president's team and the country's judicial and military institutions. In the letter addressed to the Judiciary, Hamid Baqaei, a former vice president who was recently arrested on embezzlement charges, questioned the fairness and transparency of the country's judicial system. He also crossed a regime red line by raising questions about the country's secretive Quds Force and its chief commander, Major General Qassem Soleimani. Quds Force is the elite branch of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) responsible for external operations.
Rejecting the allegations that he had illegally received money from the Quds Force, the Ahmadinejad confidante said: "But hypothetically, in this fabricated scenario… am I guilty or Mr. General Qassem Soleimani as the official head of the Quds Force and the one who handed in the mentioned assets?" He continued: "Shouldn't the Quds Force have asked me to provide a report which would clarify whether or not I'd committed a wrongdoing?" In the absence of such a report, Baqaei asked how the judicial authorities know if he had not spent the money as directed by the Quds Force. The full text of Baqaei's letter was published by Ahmadinejad mouthpiece Dolat-e Bahar website.
Comment: Ahmadinejad's relationship with the regime he once dutifully served has reached its nadir since judicial authorities jailed his aides Baqaei and Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei. Baqaei is accused of bribing African leaders in 2012 with the money provided to him by the Quds Force. Baqaei denies the charges.
The public row reveals many important things about the Islamic Republic: First, it confirms widespread corruption and a lack of accountability of public funds spent or embezzled by politicians and military leaders alike. Second, the public feud is another indication of eroding regime legitimacy and growing infighting between regime insiders.
Ahmadinejad was once very close to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who is said to have helped the former president to win two consecutive terms in office. Perhaps one reason Ahmadinejad still walks free in Iran is that imprisoning him would call into question Khamenei's judgment. The former president also continues to enjoy support among rural Iranians.
But as Ahmadinejad and his aides continue to cross regime red lines and even dare to disclose secretive operations of the Quds Force, regime authorities are likely to take tougher measures against the former president, including filing serious charges against himself.

So, What is the Paleo Diet? The Paleo Diet can also be known as the caveman diet, is about eating foods that our cavemen ancestor could hunt and gather. Examples of readily available foods that could be hunted and gathered are meats, fish, nuts, and vegetables. Today, adhering to such a strict diet is called adhering to a paleo diet.
Sample Paleo Ingredient Variety on a Table.
What are some examples of non-paleo foods?
Any type of food that was affected by the evolution of agriculture is non-paleo. Some examples of more recent foods that humans have produced since they shifted from being hunters and gatherers to becoming farmers, are: pasta, bread, rice, and corn. All of these foods are outside the paleo diet since they were developed after agriculture.
What are the benefits of a Paleo Diet Plan?
Now that we have answered the question "What is the Paleo Diet" let's focus on the benefits of eating Paleo. Paleo diet foods can lead to a healthier and more nutritious lifestyle. This is because Paleo foods are closer to the natural state of food which our bodies are designed to digest and filter. Since humans have been inhabiting the planet for a little over a million years and agriculture has been around for the last couple thousand our bodies never fully adjusted to the wheat/grains diet.
Unfortunately in the present day, due to our staple diet of sugar, processed foods, wheat/grains, and trans fats, degenerative diseases such as diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, depression, and neurological problems are prevalent in today's society. This nutrition dilemma plagues health services around the world, draining it of precious funds and resources. Thus, Paleo meals can help.
How do I start on the Paleo diet plan?
Here are some examples of paleo foods and paleo recipes you can try. There are even some paleo desserts that may sound a little odd, but they are real! For starters, in order to go on the Paleo diet plan, the Paleo meals one should consume must be Lean meats (preferably free range and grass fed), Seafood, Fresh Vegetables, Fresh Fruits, Healthy Fats, Nuts/Seeds.
To summarize the above question: What is the Paleo Diet? You can eat whatever foods that were available to our cave-dwelling ancestors, hence the Paleo diet. The Paleo meals are rich in healthy fats and omega 3 fatty acids, all key ingredients for building a healthy body.
Also, since our ancestors did not have modern luxuries when it came to their diets like present times, it is best to consume the organic/grass-fed varieties whenever it's possible so that you're limited in exposure to antibiotics, pesticides, and other chemicals that simply didn't exist back then.
Now that we broke it down, the Paleo diet plan sounds pretty simple right?
In trying to achieve the paleo diet plan, an individual is more likely to eat foods that are significantly reduced in chemicals, preservatives, and additives. For example, the lean meats one consumes will give you more iron, while the vegetables and fruits have benefits against inflammatory bowel diseases.
For many people who have tried Paleo diet foods, they started seeing weight loss, increased energy, and a feeling of being full/improved satiety between meal times. While the caveman diet can get expensive, thanks to the limited options of Paleo diet foods, it is a choice that can help the average person improve their health and live longer.
Cooking Paleo can be quite a headache and meal solutions like MealPro offer ready-made meals delivered to your door. But if it intrigues you, here is a sample recipie for meatballs (Thanks to paleoleap.com and greatist.com for the recipe!).
Heat some cooking oil in a large skillet placed over a medium heat.
Add one onion, and cook, stirring consistently, until the onions are soft, about 4-5 minutes.
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, egg yolks, and cooked onion.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and give everything a good stir.
Roll the meat into 1 ¼-inch meatballs.
Add some more cooking oil to the pand and brown the meatballs in batches on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch, and set aside.
Stir in the meatballs and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and thickened, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Now that we have answered the question "What is the paleo diet?" let's ask the bigger question: How do I know this paleo thing isn't just a fad?
We don't know! And for some, this might very well be a fad. The paleo diet is an attempt to eat foods that our ancestors originally ate, but in today's modern society this requires quite some effort to maintain.

NHRC may seek report on Nanda driver's death from police
New Delhi, June 18 (Calcutta Tube) Taking cognisance of the mysterious death of prominent industrialist Anil Nanda's driver, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Friday said it is planning to seek a report on the matter from the Delhi Police.
'The move is under consideration of the NHRC, we have to take a decision on it yet,' an NHRC official said.
The NHRC was contacted by driver Janeshwar Sharma's family members.
Sharma, 41 and a former armyman, was admitted to the Safdarjung Hospital June 9 with 80 percent burns and died a week later on June 15.
No one has been arrested so far even as police registered a case of murder.
Sharma's brother Yogesh Friday said: 'The police are not doing anything because of political reasons.'
He said industrialist Nanda was being favoured. 'I want life imprisonment for the accused persons,' Yogesh told reporters.
Before his death, in an interview to CNN-IBN, Sharma said he was being forced by Nanda's associates to tail the industrialist's business partner. He said he had protested and was threatened with dismissal.

Your morning sets the tone for the rest of your day – so make it count, ladies! I'm a huge fan of routine and ritual when it comes to my morning to help bring a little structure to my wild days. Keep reading for a few of my favorites, and comment below with some of your own!
My morning workouts aren't just time I get to myself, but it's time I get to recharge. Working out in the morning is proven to boost your endorphins and make you more productive during the day – which is something we could all benefit from! Plus, hitting the gym in the a.m. ensures you'll be able to fit physical fitness into your busy schedule. It's easy to knock "gym time" off of your to-do list when you're feeling overwhelmed, but that's really the last thing you should do! It's good for your body and mind, so lace up those sneakers before the kids even wake up and sweat it out!
By the end of the day, everyone is exhausted – especially you! Try your best to make breakfast as a family and get that quality time with everyone before the day starts. Especially if you meal-prep breakfast ahead of time, you'll be able to sit down, enjoy your coffee, and chat before heading out for work. Not to mention, it's the most important meal of the day for you and your little ones!
If you're like me, you like to stay up-to-date on all the latest news. Technology makes it easier than ever to stay informed while getting other stuff done. While I'm brewing my morning coffee, I just ask Alexa to tell me the news – and she plays me my station of choice! Plus, most home bots sync with your calendar and weather apps – so you can prep for the day while you're brushing your teeth!
I've said it before and I'll say it again – dry shampoo is ah-maz-ing. I use it every single day, and my morning's wouldn't be the same without it. None of us have time to wash our hair and blow it out every single day, and there's no shame in using everyone's favorite beauty shortcut. I'm also a huge fan of no-kink hair ties. Sometimes you just have to throw your hair up in a ponytail, but you don't want to ruin your do – so I use these nifty, slinky looking hair ties that don't leave a crease. It's been a game-changer.
Something I find myself doing from time to time is ordering an Uber or Lyft to work in the morning if there is something important I need to get done. Time is precious, and knocking out some emails on the way to the office can save some valuable time once you get to the office. The same applies for those of you who might take a subway, train, or bus to work. It might not always be the best time to get something huge done, but by prepping your brain for the work day ahead while you're on your way in, you can walk in the office ready to tackle your first meeting with confidence.
And that's it! Those are my top 5 tips for having an amazing morning. I'm sure all you ladies have plenty more – so comment below and share with the group! I love learning from other awesome momboss ladies, and I'll even share some of my favorites!

At Education Forward DC, we aim to build community among DC education leaders and provide a forum for tackling collecting issues facing education organizations across the city. Last month, Education Forward DC convened school leaders from our portfolio of grantees. A central question for the day: Collectively, how might we improve our ability to develop great instructional talent to serve all DC students?
Recruiting and developing great teachers and leaders is an urgent priority for school leaders. Growing a deep bench of talent is essential to sustain the city's momentum toward improving student academic outcomes, especially as student enrollment continues to grow.
Developing the instructional talent that schools need requires both external partners and strong internal practices. External partners can include pipeline programs from which to source talent and support organizations to provide training and coaching. Internally, school networks need dedicated teams focused on supporting professional development and talent management practices.
Over the last decade, schools and nonprofits across the city have invested heavily in teacher and leader development. However, specific challenges remain. School leaders at the retreat discussed the importance of supporting teachers in building their capacity to serve the most underserved students, including special education students. School leaders are also focused on recruiting a more diverse staff, and improving the representation of people of color at all leadership levels.
Improving retention through citywide efforts to make DC more affordable and sustainable for educators.
Developing great teachers and leaders is one of Education Forward DC's three focus areas, and we will use the input from this convening, as well as ongoing feedback, to regularly to inform our grantmaking and collaboration strategies.

The Kardashians fans accuse family of major Photoshop fail in Christmas pics

Kardashians accused of Christmas Photoshop failInstagram
Fans of the Kardashian-Jenner family have accused them of Photoshopping their Christmas pictures, suggesting they weren't actually all posing together at the same time.
Much like any family get together, The Kardashians' Christmas plans involved getting on their best 'fits and taking some selfies. And while Khloé Kardashian used the occasion to share the first proper pic of her son, followers are wondering if there's something a bit off about some of the photos Kim shared.
Taking to Instagram, the mum of four posted a series of pictures from the family's red-themed Christmas Eve party, which took place at Kourtney's house. Alongside a simple black heart as a caption, Kim shared one photo in particular with Kourt, Khloé, Kris, Kendall and Kylie.
While there's no question that they look incredible, some fans are wondering if the picture has actually been Photoshopped to place the five sisters and their mum together, thanks to the varying lighting and poses, which show none of them touching each other.
As one fan put it, "Everyone looks photoshopped in." Another questioned, "Where are Kendall's shoes?" and a third said, "They look either photoshopped or after a fight 😂"
Others added:
"It looks like they were all photoshopped into this photo 😂"
"Why is the pic photoshopped if you were all there?"
"Why does everyone look photoshopped into the photo? 😂"
Maybe we're all thinking into it too much, and the Kardashians actually did pose like that for the pic? Although, that doesn't clear up Kendall's missing toes...
