Ken Cuccinelli and Anthony Weiner: Virginia GOP governor candidate responds to abortion and personhood questions by bringing up NYC mayoral candidate.
Cuccinelli's Response to Abortion Questions: Anthony Weiner!
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli not responding to questions about abortion. Not pictured, Anthony Weiner.
Ken Cuccinelli's Virginia gubernatorial campaign has been scrambling to stave off accusations that his previous support for "personhood" legislation in the state means he is in favor of restricting birth control. He was confronted with this argument in a town hall meeting on Tuesday, and responded that he does not support any kinds of restrictions on contraception. Practically speaking, even if he doesn't support contraception control, the personhood bill he co-sponsored in the Virginia Senate in 2007 would likely have had that effect, according to people who know these things.
That's right, if you are worried about the abortion restrictions a Cuccinelli administration might pass, then Anthony Weiner. Not only is this some mighty ridiculous guilt-by-sort-of-association, it's also a painful non sequitur. It takes the "reverse war on women" strategy to a level not seen since the National Republican Senatorial Committee tried to use Slate's Carlos Danger name generator to condemn Democrats writ-large.
As noted here last week by Emma Roller, this is not the first time Cuccinelli has borrowed the "reverse war on women" meme from the national party. He also tried to link McAuliffe to Bob Filner. But at least the Filner attack was in email blasts and not in a statement that completely ignored reporters' questions without even a fig leaf.
As transparent and irrelevant as Cuccinelli's "Operation Weiner Distraction" efforts were, it's worth noting that the McAuliffe campaign also completely ignored my question, however stupid that question was. Last week, when Roller asked essentially the same question about Bob Filner, Schwerin told her that "of course" McAuliffe thought Filner should resign. Filner and Weiner are two different fish—one was accused of serial sexual harassment and the other of lying about being a lecherous idiot—but the de-facto refusal to throw Weiner under the bus is still interesting.

Norma Jean Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child
By Greg Pratt
Norma Jean has delivered a stunning, epic and impassioned modern metal album, with a sound totally isolated within a small sub-genre beside label-mates Zao and Living Sacrifice. The band utilises the familiar Solid State sound of emotionally crushing, jagged, progressive metalcore well. "We never sat down and talked about what we wanted to sound like," says drummer Daniel Davison. "We've been listening to Converge, Isis, Unsane, Helmet and Fugazi, and we grew in our talents. In our other CD, we were just learning how to play our instruments." That's hard to believe when one starts to digest the technical prowess displayed on the album, but the band's live track record may help put things in perspective. "Last year we played 200 shows, this year we've only played over 100 because we took some time off," says Davison. Bands on Solid State have to deal with the pro-Christian stigmata attached with the label, but luckily, people are putting Norma Jean's talent first. "Kids that haven't been in the Christian scene have been really responsive to our new CD. After seeing us tour with their favourite bands, kids are more apt to give us a chance. We want to play in the general market as much as we can," says Davison. Norma Jean are far more inventive, intelligent and forward-thinking than most heavy bands around today, in any market, and Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child is worthy of attention from anyone who seriously considers themselves a fan of heavy music, period.

How to Use the Reminders Feature in Google Calendar
Chris Stobing @chrisstobing
Dec 22, 2015, 8:00 am EST | 2 min read
We all love our calendars. They help us stay organized, plan for important upcoming events, and coordinate with friends and family on the best time to meet up for that next barbecue in the park. But did you know that Google's Calendar now features a new, unique Reminder system that you can use to be sure that nothing slips through the cracks unnoticed?
Added to both the iOS and Android Google Calendar apps this month, the Reminders feature is an easy and quick way to be sure you don't forget the bread at the grocery store and always remember to give your dad a call the next time Father's Day rolls around. Check out our guide to learn how you can get the most out of this innovative and exciting addition to the Google lineup of apps.
Setting Up a Reminder
In this example we'll be showing off the Reminders feature in iOS, however all the instructions also carry over to the Android platform on a nearly 1:1 basis.
RELATED: How to Sync Your Google Calendar with Outlook
To start, you'll need to already have the Google Calendar app installed on your phone. Unfortunately for the time being the Reminders feature is only available in the mobile app, and if you want to set a Reminder from your desktop PC or Mac, it will have to be set on the app first, at which point you can view it on the desktop app, although it will only appear as a small red bar in between your other regular calendar entries.
To create a reminder, start by entering into the Google Calendar app. Once here, you'll see a small red "+" icon in the bottom right-hand corner.
Tap this, and you'll see a small set of text pop up, one asking if you want to create a new calendar app, and the other asking if you want to create a new Reminder.
Choose the "Reminder" option, and you'll be taken to the following screen:
From here, you'll see a number of suggestions for different reminders that you can either quickly tap to set up, or start typing in your own.
Like any other Google product, the company has attempted to make things easier with an auto-complete function, which will attempt to guess the reminder you're trying to set up before it's fully typed in (i.e – Set up a reservation "for dinner on Saturday"). From this page is also where you'll be able to edit how often the reminder is repeated, whether it's once every hour, day, week, or month.
Once you type in the Reminder you want to run, simply select a time, and you're done! Now when the clock strikes, your phone will send a notification reminding you about whatever it was you had set up in the first place.
Managing Your Reminders
RELATED: How to Use Your Google Calendar in the Windows 10 Calendar App
If you want to edit a Reminder that's already been set up, you can do so by zooming out to your full calendar, and tapping on the Reminder you want to change. Once here, tap the small icon with a pencil in the top left corner, at which point you'll be taken to the same screen you used to originally create the Reminder, and you can alter the details accordingly.
You can also turn Reminders on or off if you'd prefer them not to show up in your Calendar, in case the feature becomes too intrusive or annoying during your daily activities.
Humans are flawed, and we all forget sometimes. Even the greatest minds of each generation still needed to write things down every once in awhile or tie a string around their finger, but thanks to advancements like Reminders in Google Calendar, now every anniversary dinner and grocery list can be quickly and easily tied to a notification that will ping you the moment you need to know about it and not a minute later.

Momasphere > Whole Women Make Whole Moms - Momasphere Blog - Scribble Scrabble!
The process on Friday night was collaborative- we each started by making a blind scribble on a piece of blank paper. We then passed our pages to the person to our left, who added their own 'scribbles' and continued this process until the original pages came back to us. We analyzed the new creations, came up with five words to describe them, and spent a few minutes writing about what they might mean to us. As we subsequently shared our 'drawings' and personal reflections with the group, the results were almost eerie. A number of participants felt strongly that there was a resonant and highly personal message in the image that had emerged.
As a devotee of the Artist's Way's Morning Pages, I am intrigued by the notion that daily drawing, or 'exercising that muscle' as Whitney puts it, is another way to tap into one's creative center. As Whitney explained, her programs are not about making everyone into an artist, but rather they offer tools to help create change on any level.
During the networking time before the activity, the diverse group of women and men, entrepreneurs, moms, and even a manny, shared our various creative journeys. I had an opportunity to talk about my process in creating Jumping Jenny, my new picture book that empowers kids to follow their passion to make a difference in the world. Whitney and I swapped books, and I look forward to seeing how I can integrate her drawing process with my Morning Pages practice. I also discovered an insanely beautiful garden behind the Linger Cafe- a spot worthy of an evening cocktail now that spring is actually here!

Kate Ferdinand has opened up about her insecurities surrounding her post-baby body, revealing she doesn't feel confident enough to leave the house in many of her old clothes.
While it's perfectly natural for your body to change after giving birth - and we think Kate looks amazing as ever - the 29-year-old TOWIE star said she felt "like a different woman" after giving birth son Cree with husband Rio Ferdinand in December.
You can watch her frank admission here:
Kate asked fans: "Anyone else been nervous about what to wear when lockdown is over? I've been wearing leggings for [four] months straight."
She continued: "My body has changed since having the baby and I've really been stuck with what to wear.
"So I decided to have a big try on and get myself together... anyone else struggle with what to wear post baby? I just feel like a different woman."

The former reality star - who is also stepmum to Rio's three kids, Lorenz, Tate and Tia - then spoke directly to fans on her Instagram stories, showing off some new additions to her wardrobe.
"As you can see, I don't normally look like this," she said. "I've been freaking out about lockdown ending and I've got absolutely no clothes.
"Nothing fits me since the baby. So I've had a whole haul, I've got some new clothes and I'm gonna try them on because I think some of you feel the same.

Commenting on her own ensemble, she added: "Also, you may notice I've got a b***dy crop top on. Now, there has been no crop tops since the baby and there still will be no crop tops without a jacket.
"But, I've found a way to get my crop top back and feel comfortable. I hope I look OK... not sure I do, I don't think I'll actually leave the house. I haven't got that much confidence yet."
Kate has previously admitted that she "didn't love" her physique immediately after giving birth.
Aww Kate, we think you look gorgeous!

Benefits transfer, or more generally value transfer refers to applying quantitative estimates of ecosystem service values from existing studies to another context. You take value estimates from a study site and apply them with adjustments to a policy site where time or resource constraints preclude the possibility of doing a primary valuation study. In the value transfer literature values have generally been understood to be monetary estimates of benefits or costs. Value transfer is not one specific method, but a continuum of approaches depending on the information available.


Nerds are clearly the superior species of off-brand humans, and there have been quite a few misconceptions when it comes to the true definition of a nerd for many generations. Nerds have too long been categorized as geeks, and geeks have too long been mislabeled as nerds.
The distinction is clear, and we are here to help extinguish the fabled nonsense of the many. You may now clearly understand the difference between a nerd and a geek, and feel complete. You're welcome, ahead of time.


A ceremony has been held at Faslane on the Gareloch to mark the centenary of a tragedy in which 32 men died when the engine room was flooded during a dive.
The incident was one of the first successful submarine rescues - after a further 48 men onboard were saved.
The vessel, K13, was taking part in its final sea trials when seawater entered its engine room, causing an explosion.
Among those who died were workers from Fairfields shipyard in Govan, which had built the vessel.
A total of 80 men were onboard K13 as it prepared for a final dive.
Although the manoeuvre began well, the captain, Lt Cmdr Godfrey Herbert was unable to settle the vessel on an even trim, and at a depth of 20ft (6m) the boiler room reported that the compartment was flooding.
K13 eventually settled on the bottom of the loch, 50ft (16m) below the surface.
The torpedo room was completely flooded and 31 men in the engine room were drowned.
An Admiralty Inquiry later heard from divers who reported finding four 37in (94cm) ventilators over the boiler room open, indicators in the boiler room set open and the engine-room hatch undone.
Cdr Francis Goodhart, who was an observer on the vessel in preparation for his own submarine's completion, volunteered to attempt to escape to the surface to organise a rescue.
But as he left the conning tower, he was blown by high-pressure air against the super-structure, and killed, leaving Lt Cdr Herbert to raise the alarm.
Cdr Goodhart was posthumously awarded the Albert Medal in Gold For Gallantry in Saving Life at Sea.
But it took a total of 57 hours before an airline could be attached to the sunken vessel, giving the survivors vital oxygen, and allowing the submarine's bow to be raised.
Rescuers then cut a hole in the hull to allow the remaining 48 men onboard to be freed.
Sunday's ceremony was organised by the Submariners' Association (SA). It is held every year at Faslane Cemetery which is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC).
SA chairman Jim McMaster said it was important to remember both the dead and the skill of those who carried out a successful rescue.
He said: "It is right and proper that we remember those who have gone before us, the brave men who earned the reputation we enjoy today.
"It is natural that we commemorate those 32 unfortunate men who died in this accident but we should not lose sight of the fact that this was also a very successful submarine rescue for 48 men.
"Even by today's standard, this is a major achievement."
K13 was raised from the Gareloch in March 1917 and returned to service seven months later as HMS K22.
Since the tragedy, no Royal Navy vessel has borne the number 13.
Colin Kerr, director of external relations for CWGC, said: "CWGC has looked after the graves of the men of the K13 for a hundred years. This is what we do.
"It is very important to us that attention is still paid to these men and that their graves are visited and their lives remembered."
During the ceremony, submariners past and present paid their respects, along with relatives of some of those who died.
It ended with a march to the grave of Cdr Goodhart.
Rear Adm John Weale, head of the UK's Submarine Service, said: "The men who perished in K13 were, in many respects, pioneers who pushed the boundaries to gain an operational advantage over potential adversaries.
"Today's submariners recognise that the submarines they operate are not only safer, but also more effective, because we have learned from the experience of our predecessors.
"In this respect, the special bravery, ethos and comradeship of submariners and the submarine service endures."
Although, following the K13 disaster, there was pressure on the Royal Navy not to give any further vessel the 'unlucky' number at least one more submarine did go to sea bearing number 13.
Retired submariner Mo Morrison told BBC News: "HMS submarine Osiris had the pennant number S13 and we had a tradition of diving on Friday the 13th at 1313 down to 130 ft where we would remain for 13 minutes before surfacing."

After hours of juggling a wailing baby, you're probably desperate to address teething pain. If your baby is irritable, drooling, and chewing on hard objects, he or she is likely teething. Although some discomfort while your baby is teething is inevitable, learning a few basic approaches can ease painful gums and soothe your frazzled nerves.
Offer your finger. Simply chewing on your nice, plump finger may be enough to ease your little one's pain. Make sure you clean your finger before placing it in your baby's mouth.
Use a teething ring. A firm rubber teething ring allows your child to gnaw, and alleviates pain. If your baby seems to like sucking on a bottle, replace the milk or formula with water during teething periods. This reduces sugar intake and decreases the risk of tooth decay.
Cool it down. Stick a clean, moist washcloth in the freezer (place it on a tray for cleanliness) and offer that to your baby. The cooler temperature of the chilled cloth eases the pain of teeth erupting through the gums. Soaking the washcloth in non-caffeinated tea, such as chamomile, may reduce inflammation associated with teething.
Grab some hard foods. Certain foods allow your kiddo to gnaw, and can ease teething pain. For example, frozen bananas, large chunks of chilled carrots, an apple, or frozen bagels make good teething pain relievers. If you're offering your child solid food, watch carefully to ensure that your infant doesn't bite off a piece and choke.
Try a natural remedy. Years of grandmotherly wisdom suggest that home remedies might help with teething. Try rubbing clove oil, peeled ginger root, or vanilla extract onto your child's gums. Although there isn't scientific evidence to prove these remedies are effective, they may help your little one through the painful teething process. Just remember to test the method out on your own gums first to ensure any tingling or numbing is bearable for your child.
Use medications. If your baby seems to be especially uncomfortable, over-the-counter medications may be appropriate. Giving an age-appropriate dose of acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) may reduce discomfort. Make sure you check with your child's pediatrician or our office first to ensure the medication is safe.
If nothing seems to be helping your child's teething pain, you can always schedule an appointment with Dr. Varble, Dr. Applebaum, Dr. Dill and Dr. Wong. Our team at SmileKidz understands the unique health needs of your little one, and are more than happy to help ensure he or she grows up with a beautiful smile.
For more information about teething, or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Varble, Dr. Applebaum, Dr. Dill and Dr. Wong, please give us a call at our convenient Creve Coeur, MO and St. Charles, MO office today!


Terry Lance Chancellor, 77, died Thursday, April 4, 2019.

Obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA, arises from what is basically a mechanical problem. During sleep the patient's tongue falls back against his or her soft palate, and the soft palate and uvula fall back against the back of the throat, effectively closing the airway.
Result: when the sleeper expands the chest to inhale, no air enters the lungs.
Why this blockage occurs is some people and not others is not clear. The condition appears to develop more frequently among people who sleep on their back, are middle-aged, are overweight, and are male. The differences are relative, however. OSA is seen in both sexes and in patients of all ages, body types, and favored sleeping positions.
Some researchers believe the mechanical failings that give rise to OSA are neurological in origin, that the flaccidity of the tongue and throat muscles results from improper or inadequate signaling from the brain.
Whatever its cause, OSA left untreated is a serious matter. In many cases it leads to debilitating daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, depression, and a general sense of unwellness. Over time it gives rise to high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, and other life-threatening and life-shortening diseases.
Wikipedia and PubMed Health offer more detailed discussions of OSA.
As this graphic shows, this sleeper's tongue has fallen back against the soft palate, the soft palate has collapsed against the back of the throat, and both the nasal and the oral airways are obstructed, creating an apnea.

Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. plans to launch its first electric car in 2025 and in doing so is expanding away from its traditional compact offerings in an attempt to recover ground ceded to rivals like South Korea's Hyundai Motor Co.
India's biggest automaker will make batteries for its mid-sized electric sports utility vehicle, dubbed the eVX or 'Emotional Versatile Cruiser', in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state of Gujarat, Suzuki Motor Corp. President Toshihiro Suzuki told reporters at India Auto Expo 2023 on the outskirts of New Delhi.
Maruti Suzuki's plans for a pure electric SUV are interesting given its long-held position that passenger vehicles powered by hybrid technology, natural gas and biofuels are a cleaner way to curb emissions in a country that generates more than 70% of its electricity from dirty coal. Suzuki didn't move away from that much on Wednesday, saying the carmaker will still double down on other alternate technologies.
"Given the power supply situation, electric vehicles alone can't be the solution in India," Suzuki said.
Maruti Suzuki, a unit of Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp., will also expand the production of cars running on compressed natural gas. The company is taking guidance from Japanese partner Toyota Motor Corp. to build EVs in India, Suzuki added.
Maruti, once the unrivaled leader in India's automobile market, now faces stiff competition from players like Hyundai, which was quick to capitalize on the rising demand for SUVs and bigger cars.
Maruti has also lagged local automakers Tata Motors Ltd. and Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. in switching to electric vehicles. Hyundai and its sister company Kia Corp. together lead India's crossover SUV segment with models such as Creta and Seltos.
"Maruti couldn't sustain its 50% market share in India because there was a delay in launching SUVs," Suzuki said. He said the company does however see growth in India's small car market and will work to introduce battery-powered options in that segment.

Five Nigerian Journalists Receive Award For Community Service
DevelopmentNews
By Africaprimenews On Nov 22, 2016 234 0
By Our Reporter
Kaduna (Nigeria) — A Team of five Development & Investigative Journalists based in Northern Nigeria have been recognised and awarded certificates and plague for service to humanity. It was for stories they did that brought to limelight challenges faced by communities in Nigeria.
The award was presented by a student entrepreneurial organisation, ENACTUS, Kaduna Polytechnic branch.
Team Leader of ENACTUS, KadPoly branch, Emmanuel Adikpe said they were happy to have met the team of the journalists who dedicated so much to community development, as well as supported the work of ENACTUS.
"When we visited media organisations for programmes, hundreds of thousands of Naira were quoted to us, but these ones came to our doorstep looking for us, to showcase our work to the world at zero Kobo.
"They have reported on people from the grass roots who were in dire need," he said.
The recipient journalists were Iliya Kure of Voice of America; Ibrahima Yakubu of Deustche Welle ( Radio Germany); Mohammed Ibrahim of People's Daily Newspapers; Bashir Bello of Nigerian Pilot Newspapers and Christiana Alabi of Daily Trust Newspapers all based in Kaduna.
Speaking on behalf of other award recipients, Iliya Kure said the award came as a surprise – they never expected it, because they were just doing their work.
"We never expected this, as far as we are concerned, we are just doing our normal journalism work. Of course we know that we go an extra mile, where other journalists don't go," he said.
He appreciated ENACTUS for recognising works by the Journalists' Team, saying, "the award will encourage us to do more."
ENACTUS and the Team of journalists first met after a story on a community called Ungwan Kanti in Rigasa, Kaduna State, northern Nigeria – the community was without pipe borne water, and depended on a pond for water to drink. The community also had no healthcare facility.
After the story, ENACTUS took intervention to the community and constructed the first Sand Dam in West Africa.

McDermott adamant he can still see positives as Leeds look to end winless run at Wigan
Aaron Bower 28/06/2018
Leeds are one defeat away from their worst losing run in Super League history – but ahead of Thursday night's clash with Wigan, coach Brian McDermott has insisted he can see more positives than this time two years ago in his squad.
Never before have the Rhinos lost seven consecutive Super League games: and after six losses in a row to press, the reigning Super League champions could be dragged further into the mix for the Qualifiers with a loss at the DW Stadium tonight.
Yet McDermott has played down obvious parallels between this year and Leeds' squad which ended up in the Qualifiers two years ago.
"I've been saying for a few weeks that we're in good shape and it's going to come good: I know it is," he said.
"I couldn't tell you that a couple of years ago but I can now. I can't describe to you how good a headspace all the players are in; they're up for a fight and they're keen for it. It's a pleasure to be amongst them.
"We've just completed another week's training and it's a great position to be in really in terms of what it will look like in two years time. There are some great foundations being put in place and some great lessons being taught."
McDermott also admitted, however, that it is vital for confidence the Rhinos get back to winning ways sooner, rather than later.
"What we've going on is a big bigger than a win at Wigan," he said.
"When we're rattling along, a win at Wigan is a big thing and will do us good – and it would do this week. We need a win, whether it's at Wigan or Timbuktu, let's go and get two points. There have been some purple patches during games, and I'm trying to convince players that these are good things we're doing, so getting a win will make that easier."
McDermott's quest to get Leeds back to winning ways on Thursday has also been aided by the return of key trio Brad Singleton, Richie Myler and England international Ryan Hall.
And the Rhinos coach said: "All three of those blokes have been good soldiers for us all year, Richie Myler especially – we've missed him for those couple of games and it'll be good to have him back."

Singer Beenie Gunter Accused Of Bleaching!
After sharing his latest photos, fast rising Ugandan dancehall singer Beenie Gunter of the Tompana fame was attacked by many of his fans and followers on social media blaming him for bleaching. Beenie Gunter who recently recorded a collaboration with Nigeria's star Skales who was recently in Uganda on many occasion has been attacked for bleaching though he has insisted that bleaching is his own lifestyle and he doesn't to live like how other wants him to live.
"I am a person who likes looking good and stylish, changing my skin colour is not a big issue we should all concentrate on. Several people have bleached, why not me" the singer replied one of his followers on social media.
Beenie Gunter now joins popular singers like Micheal Jackson and Vybz Kartel who have on several occasions attempted to bleach or change their birth skin colours. Bleaching skins among Ugandan female singers and socialites is no longer an issue to discuss and most of them have opened up cream shops for the bleaching friends and customers.

Developed with the help of multiple downhill world champion, and obsessive tweaker, Fabien Barel, Canyon's Strive CF 9.0 Race takes a completely fresh approach to travel and geometry adjustment.
A small piston, wedged between the shock and the seat tube, changes the shock position relative to the linkage, altering the geometry, the travel and the suspension progression. It's compact and unobtrusive and, at a cursory glance, you probably wouldn't even notice it.
To switch between the two modes, you must press the discreet remote lever while shifting your bodyweight. Lean back and kick your heels forward to go from XC to DH mode, and rise out of the saddle throwing your weight over the front wheel to get into the XC mode.
There's a knack to it, but finding the right technique doesn't take long, and by increasing the air pressure in the Shapeshifter piston, you can make it easier to get into XC mode, and vice versa.
A window on the linkage displays which mode you're in — green for XC, black for DH — but it's the size of a grain of rice and difficult to spot.
Canyon's full carbon Strive frame is a stunner, with crisp lines that extend right through the frame to give a really cohesive design. All the parts and cables for the Shapeshifter are integrated superbly into the frame, leaving a clean, seamless silhouette.
Fitted with a RockShox Pike RCT3 up front, and a Monarch Plus RC3 shock with DebonAir can at the back, the suspension on the Strive CF didn't disappoint.
The Pike was easy to set up; we ran two Bottomless Tokens to ramp up the spring curve, and a slightly lower air pressure than recommended to give a more supple feel.This gave us superb grip, plenty of support and the confidence to really open up the taps at BikePark Wales.
The Pike was more than complemented by the super progressive rear suspension and sensitive Monarch Plus shock. With so much support, we could pump and pop the Strive to gain speed like no other bike here.
On the ragged edge, we'd say that a Scott Genius LT 710 feels slightly more composed — it does have an extra 10mm of travel — but we consistently went faster on the Canyon, and it was more fun to ride at 80 per cent, too.
Canyon has nailed the spec on the Strive CF 9.0. From the superb Maxxis High Roller II/Minion DHR II tyre combo, to the SRAM XO1 single-ring drivetrain and RockShox Reverb Stealth seatpost, it's ready to race right out of its bespoke box.
There's even a trick Renthal Carbon Fatbar and Apex stem, and being tubeless-ready means the SRAM Rail 50 wheels give you the chance of an easy half a pound or so saving off the already impressive 29lb weight.
Canyon's Shapeshifter technology differs from the other adjustable geometry bikes, in that it changes the static, as well as the dynamic, geometry. Canyon claims a 1.5° shift in angles and a 19mm difference in bottom bracket height.
Around half of the transformation is down to the piston moving the position of the front triangle relative to the stays — reflected in the two sets of geometry figures we've printed below. The rest is down to the change in sag caused by the different travel and kinematics.
While it doesn't sound like such a dramatic metamorphosis, the Strive CF well and truly let us have our cake and eat it too. Thanks to its low weight and rampy suspension it fairly rocketed up the climbs.
In DH mode there was no holding it back; quick up to speed with minimal effort, the active suspension provided plenty of grip and the handling struck just the right balance between rewardingly agile and unflinchingly composed.
It was not nearly as stiff as other bikes in this price bracket, but what this actually meant was that we could release the reins a little and let the bike find the path of least resistance.
Ruthless as an enduro race bike, rewarding to ride on an uplift day at the bike park, and clothed in an almost faultless selection of parts, we came away seriously impressed with the Strive CF. It's genuinely a bike that can do it all. Efficient and rapid on climbs and trail centre singletrack, it would also make an extremely capable companion to take on a riding holiday to the Alps. In fact, at £200 less than the Scott and £300 less than the Cannondale, return flights to Geneva are as good as included for free.

All beans are high in fiber, which is your friend when you're trying to lose weight because it helps you feel fuller longer, thus controlling hunger. Eating beans and legumes has also been linked with various other health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, reducing LDL cholesterol and reducing risk of cardiovascular disease. Beans are fairly low in calories and deliver protein as well. Try them in homemade veggie burgers, soups and salads.
Welcome to the Best Foods For Weight Loss Treasure Trove. Contrary to popular opinion, slashing as many calories from your diet as possible is not the optimal way to lose weight. Instead, you should be loading your diet with whole, healthy foods that fill you up (making you less likely to go overboard on less healthy options), boost your energy so you can crush it at the gym, and provide enough calories to keep your metabolism chugging right along.
At least half your grains should be whole grains, such as whole wheat, oats, barley, or brown rice. Whole grains retain the bran and germ and thus all (or nearly all) of the nutrients and fiber of the grain. One sure way of finding whole grains is to look for a product labeled "100% whole wheat" or "100%" of some other whole grain. You can also look for a whole grain listed as the first ingredient, though there still may be lots of refined wheat in the product. Another option is to look for the voluntary "Whole Grain Stamp" from the Whole Grains Council. Or try this tip: Look for less than a 10-to-1 ratio of "total carbohydrates" to "fiber" on the nutrition label.
Compared to other nut varieties, pine nuts tend to be on the pricier side, but adding them to your shopping cart could be a good investment for your health. Research suggests that the fatty acids in these little nuts could increase satiety hormones, helping you feel full. They're also packed with vitamin B1 and manganese, a mineral that helps your body metabolize carbohydrates and protein.
You'll want to add a pop of blue to your meals with this berry delicious fruit. "Research has linked eating a diet rich in fruits and non-starchy vegetables with weight loss, but I really like blueberries because they're packed with antioxidants and are available all year round in the frozen aisle," says Rizzo. Add to yogurt, oatmeal, and salads, or use for sweetness in smoothies, sauces, and dressings.
From a psychological and cultural perspective, a healthier diet may be difficult to achieve for people with poor eating habits.[48] This may be due to tastes acquired in childhood and preferences for sugary, salty and/or fatty foods.[49] In the UK, the chief medical officer of the government recommended in December 2018 that sugar and salt be taxed to discourage consumption.[50]
Serve up this plant-based feast in just 20 minutes. Using a food processor will have your patties ready in a snap. Cremini mushrooms, often called baby bellas, are what give the burgers their meaty texture and earthy flavor—opt for these over milder button mushrooms. Ground flaxseeds add body and texture to these burgers. The cool and creamy yogurt and avocado mixture is a great go-to spread; slather it inside pita pockets or on your morning toast.
Think smaller portions. Serving sizes have ballooned recently. When dining out, choose a starter instead of an entree, split a dish with a friend, and don't order supersized anything. At home, visual cues can help with portion sizes. Your serving of meat, fish, or chicken should be the size of a deck of cards and half a cup of mashed potato, rice, or pasta is about the size of a traditional light bulb. By serving your meals on smaller plates or in bowls, you can trick your brain into thinking it's a larger portion. If you don't feel satisfied at the end of a meal, add more leafy greens or round off the meal with fruit.
These support bone health and have other possible benefits. Dairy products are the best sources of calcium, but you can also get it from fortified foods as well as canned salmon, sardines, dark leafy greens, and most tofu. If you can't get the recommended 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams a day from food, take a calcium supplement. It's hard to consume enough vitamin D from foods (the RDA is 600 to 800 IU a day, though other experts advise more). Thus, many people—especially those who are over 60, live at northern latitudes, or have darker skin—should consider taking a supplement.
Your favorite childhood snack is good for your grown-up self, too. Because peanut butter is a great source of protein and healthy fats, it can curb hunger and keep you feeling full long after you're finished eating. Having small snacks during the day that include a lean protein such as peanut butter with complex carbs (like an apple or banana) can also help keep your metabolism running smoothly.

Similar proteins to the gliadin found in wheat exist as secalin in rye, hordein in barley, and avenins in oats and are collectively referred to as "gluten." Derivatives of these grains such as triticale and malt and other ancient wheat varieties such as spelt and kamut also contain gluten. The gluten found in all of these grains has been identified as the component capable of triggering the immune-mediated disorder, coeliac disease.
Grapes were basically made to be snacked on, and always having some on hand could be great for your weight loss goals — a study published in PLOS Medicine found the sweet fruit can aid in shedding unwanted pounds. If you're trying to resist a calorie-heavy dessert, try tossing a bunch into the freezer so you can pop a few whenever you're craving something sweet.
For quick weeknight meals, go for the broiler. It preheats in a flash and acts like an upside-down grill, bringing salmon to perfect doneness in just 10 minutes. Don't sweat it if you slightly overcook the salmon. Serve it with a luscious dipping sauce, or drizzle a bit of olive oil over top to bring back instant moisture. Round out the meal with Simple Blistered Broccolini.
The American Heart Association, World Cancer Research Fund, and American Institute for Cancer Research recommend a diet that consists mostly of unprocessed plant foods, with emphasis a wide range of whole grains, legumes, and non-starchy vegetables and fruits. This healthy diet is full of a wide range of various non-starchy vegetables and fruits, that provide different colors including red, green, yellow, white, purple, and orange. They note that tomato cooked with oil, allium vegetables like garlic, and cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, provide some protection against cancer. This healthy diet is low in energy density, which may protect against weight gain and associated diseases. Finally, limiting consumption of sugary drinks, limiting energy rich foods, including "fast foods" and red meat, and avoiding processed meats improves health and longevity. Overall, researchers and medical policy conclude that this healthy diet can reduce the risk of chronic disease and cancer.[11][12]
As long as you don't go nuts on nuts (which can be calorie overload), they can be super beneficial in helping you lose weight. In a study published in the European Journal of Nutrition, researchers found that those who got their protein from nuts instead of animal products had less weight gain than those who never ate them. So consider this your permission to snack on peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, and walnuts — so long as you practice portion control. If sodium is a concern, grab roasted or raw over salted varieties.
The nutritional content of this tasty spread may freak you out, but there's no reason to be afraid of fat! Fat helps make food taste delicious and keep you satiated, so it's actually good news that 1 tablespoon of almond butter has 9 grams of the stuff. Even better, adding almond butter to a carb-based food can help stave off a blood sugar spike thanks to its fat and protein (2 grams per tablespoon).
Going gluten-free may be a popular trend, but unless you're actually gluten-intolerant or have celiac disease, plenty of reasons exist to continue eating whole grains. They're a tasty way to fill up on both soluble and insoluble fiber, which help you feel full for longer and keep bowel movements regular (oats, barley, and bulgur are especially high sources). Whole grains can also help prevent weight gain: in one study, women who ate whole grains like wheat germ and dark bread had a 49% lower risk of "major" weight gain over time.
A 2016 study found that garlic powder reduces body weight and fat mass among people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Recent studies have also shown that garlic supports blood-sugar metabolism, and helps control lipid levels in the blood. What's more? Eating garlic can help boost your immune system, help ward off heart disease, fight inflammation, increase memory retention, and lower blood pressure, so consider adding some to your next meal. At the very least, it is preferable over salt, which can lead to water weight gain and bloating.

Four months after Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci announced a government reshuffle, it eventually became real in Pristina on April 1. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find any strategy and clear political guidelines behind the initiative
30/04/2010 - V.Kasapolli	Pristina
Finally, it happened. The reshuffle of the Kosovo government, announced four months earlier, became real on April 1, even if the news had to be double-checked as to whether it was an April Fools Day joke.
Six ministers, three from Prime Minister Hashim Thaci's Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and three from its junior coalition partner, the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), made way for new people. Thaci also appointed the head of the new Ministry of Integration, established to strengthen ties with the European Union and NATO.
The government reshuffle suffered major changes from the initial plans; as a result, many citizens seem disillusioned with the new people included in the cabinet.
Talks for change first emerged last November, during the electoral campaign for the local elections, the first vote held in Kosovo after the government declared independence.
Despite being partners in the central government, PDK and LDK confirmed themselves as the main rivals in the electoral competition, and fiercely accused each other of bad governance. The two parties even gave signs of a possible political "divorce" after two years of cohabitation in government.
Soon after the elections, PDK Deputy Prime Minister Hajredin Kuci said, "The PDK - LDK coalition should be reviewed." The statement was later softened into, "The government will be refreshened in order to serve citizens better."
Apparently PDK and LDK, the two main political factors in Kosovo, decided to push back the radical changes and share power at least another 18 months. Thus, they preserved their rather "unnatural" government coalition (given their substantial political differences), which was born in early 2008 just before Kosovo declared independence.
The announced "refreshment" of the government did not happen. Government representatives, as well as of the opposition, would declare daily to the media their stands on the issue and discuss the importance of the government reshuffle.
For almost four months, analysts were guessing who is staying and who is leaving the cabinet, while the media extensively covered the issue. Each media company would compete with "exclusive" interviews, or using "unnamed government" sources to bring daily headlines to readers who were thirsty for change.
The international presence in Kosovo linked the political will to carry out changes in the government with the fight against corruption. Through the media, the EU's "Rule of Law Mission – Eulex" invited Thaci's government to replace corrupted ministers, suspected of embezzling millions of Euros.
Other EU offices, like the European Commission and the EU Special Representative in Kosovo warned Pristina to show bigger efforts in fighting corruption, especially if Kosovo wants to obtain a better EC Progress Report next autumn.
However, the government reshuffle was implemented without visibly taking into account the corruption factor. There was no spectacular discharge of ministers or high-level officials involved in corruption, and no one was "crucified" for bad delivery while in charge.
Prime Minister Thaci, instead, praised the work of the outgoing ministers and did not – to some ministers' frustration – provide any explanation about the reasons of their dismissal. One could ask: if the replaced ministers "did a good job", than why bother to change the cabinet?
According to leaders of an opposition party, Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, the current government used this political initiative to only try hiding bad governance and corruption by providing artificial political problems to the media and the public opinion.
Any strategy and clear political guidelines behind the reshuffle are difficult to find. For example, Idriz Vehapi, the old Minister for Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Development, a PDK faithful, has been replaced by a PDK party spokesperson Blerand Stavileci. According to critics, Stavileci has been rewarded solely for blindly promoting PDK in the media for the past two years.
Another ministry experiencing changes at the top is the Ministry for Culture, Sports and Youth where, quite unexpectedly, a biologist, Mr. Lutfi Haziri, has replaced an artist, Valton Beqiri.
If his profession would not be enough of a surprise, Mr Haziri, until recently a Kosovo assembly representative of LDK, was one of the harshest critics of Thaci and his party during the latest elections campaign.
Haziri and other two newly appointed ministers (new Interior Minister Bajram Rexhepi and Health Minister Bujar Bukoshi) have been part of other governments in the past. Clearly, Thaci contradicted his promise not to include "the old guard" in his executive and to make way for new faces.
However, Thaci did not stop here. In the name of better management, he replaced the director of police and directors of the Agency for Medical Products, the Forestry Agency, and the Statistics and Cadastre Institute.
Unconvinced by Thaci's decisions, the opposition already announced that, according to the constitution, questions will be raised in the assembly about what they define as "cosmetic" changes in the government.
Despite the government's official position, important sectors of the civil society agreed that the criteria for all the dismissals has indeed been corruption. However, the reshuffle has not cleared the most corrupt members from the administration. According to Avni Zogiani, director of the anti-corruption NGO "Cohu", the government has applied a "more corrupt, safer-you-are" formula. "Otherwise", claims Myzejene Selmani, member of the opposition New Kosovo Alliance party, "Prime Minister Thaci should have been the first to follow the dismissed members of the administration."
Speculations float that the Minister of Transport and Telecommunication, alongside the Finance and Economy Minister, were the ones to leave because of corruption.
However, after the government reshuffle saga came to an end, even without bringing substantial hopes of real changes in Kosovo political life, Pristina's political elite (and most of the media) found another issue to divert the public opinion attention: the construction of the first highway in Kosovo.
Launched in the end of April, this infrastructure project represents the extension of the highway under construction in neighbouring Albania to connect the Adriatic Sea with Kosovo. It should now reach Serbia passing through Pristina. The announcements of the beginning of the works, on what has already been named the "Albanian National Road", went on for weeks, with advertisement on television, radio, newspaper and street billboards that proclaimed another "historical moment" for the Kosovars.
Nationalist slogans, though, again seem to be stronger than facts, and many questions about the project remain unanswered. The highway still has no defined route, while the estimated cost for the 118 km road reaches €700m (Kosovo's 2010 budget is merely €1.46bn).
Economic expert Muhamet Mustafa claims that the project's costs limits investment in other sectors, while a possible increase of its price due to lack of a detailed plain could become a real burden for the country's economy. However, using simple math, the government's strategy foresees the selling of the Post and Telecommunication, Pristina's International Airport and the Energy Corporation (KEK) in order to inject part of the privatisation money into the Albanian National Road.
While waiting for the highway to become real, the new ministers of Administration, Health, Culture, and Agriculture will join the dance of a government that, at home, finds it increasingly difficult to improve governance and to develop sustainable economic and social policies. In the international arena, the government does not seem to have any long-term strategy to increase the number of international recognitions. Even worse, Kosovo is lagging behind in its EU integration process.
With neighbours Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina moving toward a EU visa-free regime by the end of the year, Kosovars could soon found themselves as the only one left outside the "visa wall". Then, even a new highway to Tirana could lose, to a large extent, its current appeal.
