[ "Millennials: these are the most common mistakes you could make with your money" ]

[ "People in their 20's and 30's are typically mocked by those slightly older than them for being the snowflake generation. Having grown up in an era where the focus was often on protecting individuals' self-esteem, they were often told that they were unique and special and there was no one else like them. I could wax philosophical in defense of this notion or snarkily jump on board with the haters because both sides have a point.", "But one thing I've noticed in my work as a financial planner working with employees through free financial planning programs offered at work is that many young people are anxious to know if what they're doing is what everyone else their age is doing. Call it FOMO (fear of missing out), call it peer pressure, call it what you will, but I think that in most areas of life, we often just want reassurance that we're doing all that we can and aren't screwing up our future prospects in life too much by living in the present. It's in this spirit that I'm sharing the top five mistakes I see young people making with their money.", "1. Prioritizing paying student loans over saving for retirement. I know that when I graduated from college and my student loans kicked in, the payments had me eating Ramen noodles and reading books by candlelight to save money until I could find a roommate. Student debt is no joke. But I think too many fresh grads get caught up in the media hype surrounding how bad student debt is as a national whole and let that cloud their judgment around prioritizing their finances.", "The general rule of thumb is that if you have an employer match in your 401(k) and/or HSA, you should contribute enough from day one to get the full match. It's worth eating Ramen to get that free money. Beyond that or if you don't have a match, then it comes down to where your money will work hardest for you. If your student loan interest rates are 6% or less, you're still likely better off investing that money aggressively for the long-term rather than paying off your loans earlier. Even just eking out $50 per paycheck to save for retirement can make a six-figure difference in your ending balance down the road... as long as you're not also making the second mistake.", "2. Investing too conservatively. Our research shows that Millennials are less likely to have general investment knowledge compared to older generations. Other research has shown that Millennials are more likely to call themselves conservative investors despite having a longer timeline than their older Gen X and Baby Boomer counterparts. That's mostly due to the fact that they witnessed the largest market meltdown in decades during their formative years, perhaps even watching parents lose jobs AND wealth due to the declining market and economy.", "This makes sense, but what you don't often hear is that the people who rode out the stock market storm of 2008-2009 without selling at the bottom are better off AND THEN SOME by sticking with it. The one guarantee I'm comfortable making about the stock market is that it will go up and down, often wildly, in the coming years. But it's the best place to invest your money for long-term growth, meaning more than twenty years.", "When choosing funds in your account, it really doesn't matter what each fund has done over the past 1, 3 or even 5 years as long as you confirm that it's performing in line with its benchmark. Then just let it ride. The easiest solution here? Choose a target date fund closest to the year you'll turn 65.", "3. Turning to credit cards to afford luxuries. Someone recently shared one of her life mottos with me to explain how she enjoys some of the finer things in life without compromising her long-term savings goals. She said, You can have anything. You just can't have everything.", "This is a concept that is entirely new for many young people who are the product of dual-income families where most wants were fulfilled growing up. This video makes fun of things like Spotify Premium, Uber rides and Soul Cycle being needs, but I also get that these are part of life these days. Plus, at relatively low price-points, these little luxuries don't seem like an issue, but they add up when money is tight.", "It comes down to prioritizing. If you're unable to pay cash for your manicure or grocery delivery order, you need to find an alternate solution like doing your own nails or taking yourself to the store to bargain shop for your food. Decide which of these things you really want in your life right now and which can wait until later when you've paid off some debt and grown your income a bit.", "4. Living in a fancy place with no financial foundation. This is one of the bigger financial mistakes I personally made in my 20's. After living in a dumpy apartment my senior year of college that had roaches and traffic noise that literally kept me up at night, I couldn't wait to upgrade to a luxury apartment with all the accoutrements. About six weeks into my year-long lease though, I was rethinking that decision (see above regarding Ramen and candlelight). Because I was just starting out in my career with a boatload of student loans, no emergency fund and some credit card debt to boot, I was in a precarious financial situation and was living way out of my league.", "There's definitely something to be said for living in a comfortable, bug-free home where you can get a decent night's sleep, but jumping straight to the nicest community in town was a mistake. As soon as I could get out of that lease, I found a smaller place that was much more in line with my starting income. When looking for a place to live, decide which things you can and can't live without in order to meet other financial goals in the meantime. If housing costs are eating up more than 50% of your income, it's too expensive. Build up your emergency fund before you choose housing that may be a financial stretch for you.", "5. Feeling bad about delaying adulting. Statistics show that Millennials in general are delaying some of the more typical milestones associated with adulting, such as marriage, having kids or purchasing a first home. As one who delayed those things myself, I can relate. I listened to my grandparents and my parents and even my parents' friends, who constantly chided me not to rush in to being a grown-up because it comes with things like being responsible, paying taxes, holding a 9-5, etc.", "While I thoroughly enjoyed the freedom of my 20's and 30's, which allowed me to take some risks like starting (and failing at) a business, finding my true calling professionally and finding my true match in a life partner, I also had to battle the societal message that told me I was missing out by delaying marriage, kids and buying a home. And as my husband and I wait, month after month, to conceive our first child, sometimes I confess that I wonder if I did miss out. But then I remember all the wisdom and experience I'll bring to motherhood, as delayed as it may be, that I wouldn't have if I'd taken that step earlier.", "It's a mixed message, one that author Elizabeth Gilbert describes as sometimes becoming paralyzed by indecision. By making one choice, we are automatically saying no to countless other choices. It's the beauty and the beast of our modern society, exacerbated by seeing everyone else's choices play out on social media in filtered, scrubbed ways that can make it feel like you made the wrong choice. The antidote to this extends far beyond your personal finances, but as it relates to your money and avoiding making doozie mistakes, I'll just offer this: when making financial decisions for yourself, from something as small as buying that Starbucks on the way to work to as big as booking a trip to the other side of the world, stop and ask yourself if you would be making this choice if you couldn't share it on social media.", "Finding a way to overcome these five situations could be more about making a mind shift and less about a lack of financial resources. What's holding you back? Please let me know in the comments or send me an email at Kelley..long@financialfinesse.com." ]

[ "Here's why kids are a huge battleground for Netflix and Amazon" ]

[ "While it doesn’t get discussed much in the media, children’s programming has become a major focus for \"over-the-top\" players like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and HBO.", "Netflix has launched 20 kids and family originals already in 2016, and has over 15 more to come this year, according to the company. Amazon doesn’t have quite the volume, but has produced as many original kids shows as it has comedies (and twice the number of dramas).. HBO also made headlines late last year when it struck a deal for iconic show \"Sesame Street.\"", "Why have these companies been making such big investments? The most obvious reason is to round out the service, to provide something for everyone in a family — giving you more reasons to keep subscribing.", "Kids programming proves particularly \"sticky.\" Once your child is a huge fan of a program, it’s relatively harder to make that small economic decision to cancel the service.", "Ads and kids", "But the more interesting reason for the push on kids content comes from the role ads play on many of these platforms: namely that they don’t exist. For parents, the difference between children’s programming with ads and without can be immediately apparent, when requests for the latest sugary cereal suddenly slow down.", "This fact means that Netflix, Amazon, and their no-commercial rivals could derive an even greater benefit for their lack of advertising in children’s programming than in other types. Hulu even streams all its children's programming ad-free, even on tiers that normally include ads. Adults might be annoyed by ads, but children are molded by them.", "\"We know one of the benefits of an ecosystem like Netflix is its lack of advertising,\" Howard Shimmel, a chief research officer at Time Warner, told Bloomberg last year. \"Consumers are being trained there are places they can go to avoid ads.\"", "But there could be another indirect result. Parents are being trained not to have to deal with their children’s fascination with the latest toy that's being hawked on TV.", "And if parents eventually get used to that, it could be hard to go back." ]

[ "Why robots and smart technology aren’t revolutionizing your house" ]

[ "A robot vacuum cleaner sounds like a great idea. I have a Roomba, one of the most popular models, and most of the time it works great. But sometimes there are unexpected problems.", "In a recent Facebook post, an Arkansas man described just how bad these problems can be. His dog had an accident on the floor, and then the Roomba started its scheduled cleaning.", "\"If your Roomba runs over dog poop, stop it immediately and do not let it continue the cleaning cycle,\" the man wrote. Unfortunately, he happened to be asleep when the Roomba ran.. The result: it \"spread the dog poop over every conceivable surface within its reach, resulting in a home that closely resembles a Jackson Pollock poop painting.\"", "Silicon Valley optimists like venture capitalist Marc Andreessen have predicted that digital technology would revolutionize every facet of our lives. And of course that's been true for industries like music, news, and maps. But other tasks have proven more resistant to digital transformation.", "Earlier this year, I wrote about Nest, whose popular smart thermostat made it a poster child for smart homes. But the company, which was acquired by Google in 2014, has struggled to develop new products, raising questions about whether Google overpaid for the company.", "A similar story can be told about iRobot, the company behind the Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner. The company is hardly a failure, having sold 15 million units since it was introduced in 2002. But the Roomba remains a niche product, and iRobot hasn't come up with another hit.", "These companies are struggling for similar reasons: Their products demand too much from their users while providing too little value in return.", "Getting a Roomba won't change your life", "Last year, iRobot sold 2.4 million Roombas. By any reasonable metric, that's a successful product. But in a nation of 320 million people (not to mention a world with more than 7 billion people), it's still a niche product. The vast majority of American households don't have a Roomba or any other robot vacuum cleaner and seem to be in no hurry to buy one.", "And if you talk to Roomba owners, it's not hard to see why. \"It gets stuck a lot,\" my Vox colleague Sarah Kliff told me. \"I can't really leave it at home unsupervised.\"", "Sarah has a table with a curved metal bottom that her Roomba finds fiendishly difficult to navigate. Often she'll come home to find that it drove up the table's leg and got stranded, the cleaning job unfinished. The Roomba also terrifies Sarah's dog.", "My Roomba also has problems with getting stuck. But I've also found that it just doesn't save me that much time. I still have to tidy up the room before letting the Roomba loose. Then when it's done, I have to empty the dustbin and — often — dig out debris that got caught in the rollers. It's not as much work as using an old-fashioned vacuum cleaner, but it's not that much less work.", "And then there are the times when the Roomba wreaks havoc. Asked about poop-related accidents, a spokesman for iRobot told the Guardian that \"quite honestly, we see this a lot.\" Neither Sarah or I have experienced this particular misfortune, but we've had other, less traumatic problems with our Roombas.", "\"My old roommate had a Roomba that ran into my mirror,\" Sarah told me. \"The mirror toppled over and broke.\"", "One day, my Roomba got ahold of a spool of thread. When I got home, it had unwound the entire spool and wrapped it around the cleaning brush roll. It took several minutes to get it unwound, and I had to throw away the rat's nest of thread that was left.", "I have a $399 Roomba 650. iRobot recently introduced a new high-end model, the $899 Roomba 980, which comes with a built-in camera, a longer-lasting battery, and other improvements. But as Fortune's Kif Leswing pointed out in a review last October, these improvements only get you so far. The longer battery life doesn't help if the dustbin gets full or your home has multiple levels. And the latest Roomba seems about as clumsy as its cheaper cousins — Leswing says it \"beached itself on the legs of my Ikea Poang chair.\" And it ate one of his cat toys, damaging one of the robot's wheels.", "Why it's hard for smart appliances to add value", "The Roomba is by far the iRobot's most successful product. Over the years, the company has built a couple of mopping robots, a pool-cleaning robot, and a device for cleaning out your gutters. None of them have been big hits.", "Other companies have tried to create internet-connected lawn sprinklers, crock pots, and lightbulbs.", "A fundamental problem here is that for many tasks in the physical world, there just isn't that much room for software and complex electronics to add value.", "The home appliances that have done the most to improve people's lives are the ones like dishwashers and washing machines that took a really time-consuming and tedious task and made it dramatically faster.", "But in many cases, the preinternet devices in our homes are already pretty good. There isn't a ton of room for further improvement. People don't spend a lot of time adjusting their thermostats, so the better interface on a Nest Learning Thermostat doesn't add a ton of value. Smart lightbulbs or robotic gutter cleaners seem even more like a solution in search of a problem.", "The preinternet devices in our homes are already pretty good", "Machines add the most value when they can be operated at scale in a controlled environment — washing machines and dishwashers are useful because you can wash dozens of dishes or shirts at the same time. And because all the action happens inside the machine, there's less room for unpleasant surprises — like a stray cat toy getting into the gears, or dog poop being spread across the floor.", "In contrast, home robots and connected home devices are trying to operate in the chaotic and nonstandardized environment of a modern home. It's an inherently more difficult problem to design a product that will work flawlessly in a wide variety of different home types.", "And this is a reason to be skeptical that we'll see rapid progress in household robotics or smart homes in the coming years. It has proven difficult to build a robot vacuum cleaner or a smart thermostat that's a big hit with the public. And other home automation tasks — like iRobot's mopping robots — have been even less popular than that. The concept of smart homes and cleaning robots sounds appealing in theory, but making it useful in practice is surprisingly difficult." ]

[ "If You Get Dizzy When You Stand Up, Use this Fighter Pilot Secret" ]

[ "Have you ever stood up too quickly — especially after a long period of sitting — and felt lightheaded?", "If so, you've experienced orthostatic hypotension, better known as head rush. That sudden bout of dizziness is a \"form of low blood pressure that happens when you stand up from sitting or lying down,\" according to the Mayo Clinic.", "When head rush hits, you could collapse against a wall or feel around for a nearby piece of furniture. Or, as genius reddit user Mnementh2230 pointed out, you could do what fighter pilots do — clench the muscles in your lower body to push blood back into your upper body:", "If you stand up too quickly and start to feel light headed, it's caused by a drop in blood pressure in your head and upper body. It's the same reason fighter pilots black out in high G turns, and the Air Force figured out a way to combat this decades ago: clench the muscles in your lower body, starting with your calves, then thighs, then your abs and lower back. This squeezes blood back up in to your upper body and will resolve the issue very quickly — the real trick is remembering to do it in that moment.", "Yep, it's the real deal: Here on the ground, our bodies are used to functioning at 1 G — in other words, the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface.", "But when fighter pilots make steep turns and hurtle toward the ground, they \"experience forces of acceleration equivalent to many times the force of gravity,\" according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The higher the G-force, the harder it is for their bodies to pump blood from their hearts to their brains, according to PBS.", "\"Most of us would pass out with head-to-toe G forces of just 4 or 5 because our hearts can't summon the necessary pressure,\" PBS reported. \"Blood pools in our lower extremities, and our brains fail to get enough oxygen.\"", "To fight the blood pressure drop, fighter pilots wear \"anti-G suits\" that \"constrict the legs and abdomen during high Gs to keep blood in the upper body,\" according to PBS. They also reportedly use \"muscle-tensing techniques.\"", "There you have it: Just clench those lower body muscles. You may look like you're pooping your pants, but at least you won't feel like you're about to pass out." ]

That finding, from a USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times Daybreak tracking poll, a new survey that begins publication Friday, marks a significant shift in a race that most polls indicated Clinton has led since mid-May. It comes amid a flurry of other surveys, both nationally and in battleground states, that show support for the former secretary of State declining since last week when FBI Director James B. Comey characterized her handling of classified material while in that office as \"extremely careless.\" Comey also said her conduct and that of her aides did not clearly violate the law or warrant prosecution. What isn’t known is whether the new surveys are capturing Clinton at a low that will prove temporary, as voters react to Comey’s criticism and the renewed attention to her use of a private email server, or whether they reflect a more lasting shift that could hobble the presumed Democratic nominee for the remainder of the campaign.", "A recent New York Times/ CBS News poll found that the two presumptive nominees were tied at 40 percent.

[ "Wiley – five landmarks in the godfather of grime's career" ]

[ "From MCing over drum’n’bass DJ sets in the 1990s, to his dramatic return last year, here are the crucial tracks by the hardest working man in grime", "Between the legions of scoop-necked DJ bores and the sub-Sheeran mopers it’s easy to get disheartened about the lack of personality in modern British pop. But at least we have Wiley. Even within grime’s playpen of extroverts, he is a wildcard, a high priest of obstreperousness who seemingly lives to upset applecarts – playing games with persona and reality, rampaging through the music industry, pouring out an endless stream of consciousness through his lyrics but also whatever social media platform takes his fancy at the time. He’s constantly walked a line between gangster coldness and a childlike openness, and between truly avant garde brilliance and shameless pop ambition.", "He’s picked fights with almost everyone in grime, from the most spectacularly petty to the deadly serious, yet somehow as he matures (he just turned 37) he manages to retain his place as the scene’s patriarch. He should probably be a bigger national and international star than he is, but the way he has constantly splurged out his work, self-sabotaged and evaded expectation means that he displays the polar opposite of the gimlet-eyed ambition of his one-time brother-in-arms Dizzee Rascal, and can be very confusing to all but the most avid observer. Nonetheless, he has just released one of the best and most focused albums in his career, The Godfather, and against all odds seems as energised as he’s ever been.", "Trying to do a \"best of Wiley\" is a fool’s errand, as aside from the vastness of his official and unofficial work, his moments of greatness are as likely to be a Twitter outburst as a lyric, and some high points are often entirely dependent on understanding the context within the soap opera of his life and the grime scene. However, here are five moments out of many where he shines bright, each of which offers a window into the world of one of the truest individualists of the modern musical world.", "1. Back and forth with Eksman", "It’s worth having a dig through YouTube for recordings of Wiley MCing on drum’n’bass DJ sets in the 90s for two main reasons. First, as an indicator of just how long he’s been honing his craft: the first ones are from 1996, and already on this rapid-fire to-and-fro with drum’n’bass mainstay Eksman from 1998 his flow and enunciation are impeccable. And, second, to understand that his roots are in the rave. This was his school, where he learned the weird and extreme sonorities that would feed into his groundbreaking electronic productions, and you can also see the hyperspeed patter of drum’n’bass as the launching of the relentless stream of verbal momentum that has characterised his entire life since. Although his style is pretty much standard for the time, and the subject matter is hype, threats and boasts, you can already see his leftfield inventiveness in throwaway oddities like \"wipe my feet on your face just like a doormat, I’m coming through the catflap\". ", "2. Working with Dizzee", "Where it all coalesced. Having earned his stripes in drum’n’bass and achieved stardom in UK garage as part of Pay As U Go Cartel, the years 2001 and 2002 saw Wiley find his voice in all respects. The eerie \"Eskibeat\" instrumentals he was selling by the tens of thousands on white label 12in singles, and the varied MC talent of the original lineup of Roll Deep Crew were among grime’s defining sounds. But it was his to-and-fro with his young friend and protege Dizzee Rascal on rave sets and tapes that probably did more than anything else to signal to the world that something new had arrived. Their falling out – apparently over hot-headedness and petty crew politics that led to Dizzee’s stabbing in Ayia Napa – is one of the great creative tragedies of modern pop.", "3. Sorry Sorry Pardon What", "In a typical flurry of activity, Wiley released five album-length Tunnel Vision mixtapes in just six months at the end of 2006. This one opened the last, as well as forming a B-side to an official single release later in the year. In a multilayered bit of self-referentiality, he samples Dizzee’s vocaling of his own 2003 Ice Rink instrumental – which itself was possibly the most perfect expression of the deep emotional complexity of his Eskibeat style – then rides the rhythm himself on some of the most cantankerous, I’ll-fight-the-lot-of-yer form of his life. Notable for world-class language mangling like \"blood, you’re the one who got smacked in the grilliam\".", "4. Step Three Freestyle", "And, talking of language mangling, here’s one of those classic moments where Wiley’s musical vividness of expression just seems to spill over, beyond the meaning his words are capable of containing. At the same time as he was having his biggest major label pop hit, Heatwave, he was also returning to the Big Dada label to say: \"Let’s go and make magic / I couldn’t quit grime if I wanted to / it’s been a long time, I’m an addict / for me it’s just a habit / and this fire in my belly right now / rudeboy you have never had it / had it, had it, never had it / had it, had it, never had it / never never never never never never never never.\" It’s that rave MC glossolalia – also constantly resurgent in his tendency to burst out with \"budududu badadadada\" as part of lines – that will never leave him and which keeps the momentum going within the track and his career.", "5. Bring Them All/Holy Grime ft Devlin", "And here he is, in 2016, with a fellow rapper with whom who he’s fought and bickered over the years. For every time Wiley has wistfully looked to the big money of US success, or found himself at the top of the British charts with a dance track by accident or design, he can’t stop himself falling back to the pleasures of just MCing over a soundsystem-testing beat. As ever, he’s commentating on his own life and on anything that falls into his field of vision, prodding, testing, trying ideas out.. For all that grime, at the start of the century, seemed like an explosion that couldn’t possibly do anything other than burn out, a decade and a half on, Wiley and his fellow elder statesmen Skepta, JME, P Money, Ghetts, Devlin, Flowdan and a whole lot of others are doing a shockingly good job of making it look like there’s life in the old dog yet." ]

[ "You Won’t Believe How Much McLaren Is Spending To Bring Out 15 New Cars By 2022" ]

[ "New McLarens are always a good thing, but at what cost?", "Some automakers like Porsche have such a mechanical and unforgiving way of conducting their business that it makes every other manufacturer look like a dysfunctional family. Another such company is McLaren, which has managed to turn a profit for the last seven years on the back of low-volume supercars. Now, a recent interview with McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt by Automotive News Europe opens the floodgates on McLaren's plans to dominate Ferrari and stay ahead in the future.", "Flewitt detailed how McLaren wants to spend £1 billion pounds ($1.45 billion dollars) over the next six years on research and development for new products. McLaren hopes to get 15 new cars, including a P1 successor, out of the investment that is equal to the budget of a small country. Last year, the company sold 2,000 supercars to lucky buyers, but with the investment, it hopes to expand this number to 5,000. To get there, McLaren will divert most of the money into producing new powertrains and designing new carbon fiber structures. Currently, most of McLaren's lineup features similar carbon fiber and aluminum frames powered by an impressive 3.8-liter V8. We can be sure that the next engine will be smaller and come with turbochargers.", "Flewitt didn't give any details on the engine that will power the next generation of McLarens, but he confirmed that we could expect to see hybrid drivetrains coming. At least one new car featuring the new toys will come out by the end of the decade with all 15 hitting showrooms by 2022. At least one of these cars will be the all electric McLaren we keep hearing about and that Ferrari refuses to compete with. Part of the reason for the new technology, aside from pursuing better lap times and beating Ferrari, is because of the increasingly tight fuel restrictions on the cars. We may hate on companies for downsizing their engines, but the reality is that Ferrari and McLaren don't have a choice. At least we can be thankful for the effort to keep their cars sleek and fast." ]

As with any pre-release information, this is subject to interpretation and change.", "Though no release date has been confirmed, GTA 6 has been confirmed to release sometime in the future. The exact date will likely be two years ahead of the initial estimated release date set by Rockstar, to give them time to \"polish\" the final copy and deliver an experience fans are sure to enjoy, despite their discontent while waiting twenty-four months more than they should have.", "More details have also leaked, read on to know how Rockstar Games plans to make GTA VI the best game the universe has ever seen.

Both images were compiled from a combination of shortwave-infrared, near-infrared and red light, all of which detect heat gradients.", "Each image shows the hottest part of the volcano with a bright red and orange splotch, indicating what is likely hot lava, NASA said. The tall, white plumes show the ash, and the bright blue-green color shows the ice cover on the volcano." ]

[ "These days, our knowledge of celebrities too often originates with paparazzi images and snarky quotes by anonymous \"insiders.\" After a while, it's easy to forget that stars are real people. That's why HuffPost Celebrity decided to launch its all-new #nofilter quick-fire question-and-answer series. Because how well do you know someone until they've shared their guiltiest pleasures?", "It's been a busy year for Holly Madison. The former \"Girls Next Door\" star welcomed daughter Rainbow Aurora back in March, and tied the knot with Pasquale Rotella in a fairytale celebration at Disneyland in September. Fortunately, the new wife and mom found a few moments to take our #nofilter challenge.", "What's your guiltiest pleasure?", "I have chocolate cravings, like every girl. But I would say Taco Bell. When I’m absolutely desperate, driving around starving, that’s where I want to go. But I keep it to a minimum. It’s about what you do 90 percent of the time, not your 10 percent mess-ups because we’re all going to do that.", "When do you feel most at peace?", "Probably when I’m home with my baby, just spending time with her and being in the moment and playing, with nothing else on my mind.", "What sense would you most be afraid to lose?", "Sight. I’m a visual person.", "What's the most unusual thing you have in your purse or wallet?", "There’s always something weird that I’ve been carrying around. I have this diaper bag that’s like Hermione’s endless bag from \"Harry Potter\" that she pulls a tent out of, and things get lost in there for months. The rare moments I decide to clean out my bag, something will come out and I’m like, what the hell? Being a mom and having a 7-month-old, it’s still weird to me to even have diapers in my purse. I hate finding garbage in my purse; that’s the worst.", "Describe one time you thought \"This is harder than it looks.\"", "Definitely finding time to do anything else when you’re a mom other than taking care of the baby. I knew it would be hard, but it’s harder than I thought.", "What technology do you hope will be invented in the next 10 years?", "I spend some of my time in LA and I’d like to be able to get anywhere without having to deal with major traffic. So I’d like some kind of subway or flying car in LA.", "What's the silliest thing you've ever lied about?", "What really sticks in my head, because my mom went berserk about it, is when I was 4 years old I had this peanut butter and jelly sandwich and I threw it across the lawn and said I was done and wanted dessert, and she freaked out and gave me a huge lecture on lying.", "If you could commit a crime and get away with it, what would it be?", "I’d spy on people because I’m nosy. I don’t know if that’s really a crime. I guess if you’re stalking someone at their house and being a total freak, that’s trespassing.", "What's one thing you do when you're alone that you wouldn't do in front of someone else?", "Just lounge around in nasty clothes.", "What happens in your recurring dream?", "I almost never dream. I can’t even remember the last time I dreamed. I don’t remember them.", "What’s the working title of your autobiography?", "Down the Rabbit Hole.", "When do you feel most anxious?", "When I’m overwhelmed, when I have a lot of things on my plate and I feel like I can’t accomplish them in time.", "What or who is overrated right now?", "I don’t watch a lot of TV -- I think a lot of TV shows are not very interesting and overrated.", "Is a good friend hard to come by?", "Absolutely. I think there are so many people who are fake and just want something from you, and you really have to value the true friends you have. And it takes years to find out who they are.", "What are you most afraid of?", "I’m most afraid of anything having to do with eyeballs. I don’t like things touching my eyes. I don’t like things coming near my eyes. Somebody once said, \"Did you know you can take your eye out with a spoon?\" and that made me almost barf. I have an eyeball phobia..", "When's the last time you cried?", "I was probably just super-frustrated. It’s probably happened since I’ve had the baby and I’ve just been super-frustrated and had to let it out because I couldn’t get anything done.", "Is it okay to recline your seat on an airplane?", "Absolutely. I mean, I kind of hate it when it happens to me sometimes, if I have the baby in front of me, because then I have no room to put down a tray or anything like that. But the seats barely go back. So yes, it is okay.", "Tell us a joke.", "Oh my god, I was just at a burlesque show the other night and the jokes the emcee was saying were so wrong, and that’s all I have in my head right now. But I can’t repeat them.", "Holly Madison has just launched an eDiet called the Holly Madison Diet, geared toward pregnant women and new moms and designed to fit Madison’s food preferences and healthy lifestyle.

[ "The country all food lovers need to visit ASAP" ]

[ "Visiting the country of Belgium hardly ever makes it on anyone's bucket list. This small country is nestled along the North Sea and is often overshadowed by its more romantic French neighbor to the south or the ever so thrilling city of Amsterdam above it. Belgium is getting the shaft -- and it's a real shame.", "There are many reasons you could give to disregard this small and sometimes strange country altogether (and I say that with love and respect, as a Belgian citizen). Like the fact that this country's number one tourist attraction is a tiny statue of a little boy taking a piss. OR that the entire country and its residents are the butt of every French joke. OR that the residents are at such odds with one another they can't agree on a government (so they'd rather go without). But if you take a look at Belgium's regional cuisine, you'll see that the food is reason enough to make a trip to this extra rainy, yet beautifully forested country.", "Now, the food of Belgium is not pretty -- you'll see what we mean below -- but that's only because more thought is put into the flavor than the appearance. But don't take our word for it, go to Belgium and give these dishes a try. And once you're done eating, Paris is only an hour and fifteen minutes away by train.", "1 Chicon Au Gratin / Gegratineerde witloof Flickr: [puamelia] Potato gratin's got nothing on this typical Belgian dish. Made with endives, each piece is wrapped in a slice of ham, topped with béchamel sauce and blanketed in melted cheese. What's even better is that this is a main course, not just some side dish.", "2 Moules-frites / Mosselen-friet Flickr: fred_v No two foods complement each other better than a big bowl of mussels with a plate of Belgian fries. Because once you've finished the mussels, the white wine broth that's left in the bottom of the bowl is the best thing to dip fries in", "3 Gaufre / Wafel Flickr: Mary Lee Hahn Belgian waffles are nothing like what you find in North America. The most common waffle you can find in Belgium is called the Liege waffle. It's richer and denser than other waffles because it's made with buttery brioche dough and chunks of pearl sugar that caramelize on the crust when cooked. They're AWESOME.", "4 Boudin Blanc / Witte Pens Flickr: avlxyz Boudin blanc is a white sausage that's made with milk. Its delicate flavor and fine texture is unlike any other sausage out there. It's usually prepared grilled or sauteed and is best served with mashed potatoes or apple compote.", "5 Frites / Frieten Flickr: diluvienne By now most people know that the French don't get credit for fries. It's the Belgians we have to thank for this wonderful way of handling potatoes. And so it's only natural that they make them best. You can find fry stands all over the country -- sometimes even just on the side of the road -- and they always offer you the best sauces for dipping. Though you can never go wrong with straight mayonnaise.", "6 Stoemp Flickr: Alan (merrionsq) If you think mashed potatoes are good, just wait till you try stoemp. They're the creamiest potatoes you've ever had, that are made even better with the addition of carrots or leeks.. They're like mashed potatoes 2.0.", "7 Crevette Grise / Grijze Granalen Flickr: Nate Gray: A Culinary (Photo) Journal Don't let the look of these shrimp scare you. What they lack in aesthetics they more than make up for in flavor. Tiny crevette grise -- also known as brown shrimp -- are fished out of the North Sea and are a popular dish. They're often served in a salad stuffed inside a tomato. But they can also be enjoyed served unpeeled and accompanied by a good Belgian beer.", "8 The Chocolate Flickr: portmanteaus Chocolate fans, this is the country where you belong. There are over 2,000 chocolatiers (!!!) in Belgium. And it's all excellent thanks to an 1884 Belgian law that regulates the composition of its chocolate . The chocolate alone is a worth making the trip to this country. Seriously.", "9 Carbonnades Flamandes / Stoverij Flickr: Kmeron Think Beef Bourguignon, but replace the wine with beer. Pure genius, we know.", "10 Filet Américain Flickr: Kyle Taylor, Dream It. Do It. Filet Americain is similar to steak tartar, only it's simpler in preparation. This dish is made with finely minced ground beef, topped with sauce Americain, and served with fries (of course) and bread. Put aside your skepticism and take a bite, you'll instantly understand why this is a national favorite.", "*Sauce American is a mixture of ketchup, chervil, onions, capers, celery and mayonnaise -- of course.", "11 Speculoos / Speculaas Flickr: jenny downing You might know these cookies as the airline cookie, but they hold a dearer place in the hearts of Belgians. Made to celebrate St Nicholas' feast, these spiced shortbread cookies can be found with the most beautiful designs. And, they're very good alongside a shot of espresso.", "12 Waterzooi Flickr: Smabs Sputzer Since Belgium is a cold, wet country, it's only natural that they make great stews. And one of the greatest is the waterzooi. It's a rich fish stew -- though now it's more commonly made with chicken -- that will warm your bones on the coldest of days.", "13 THE BEER Flickr: Bernt Rostad If the food doesn't do it for you, we're sure the beer will. This little country -- it's about the size of Maryland -- has about 180 breweries. It makes A LOT of beer, and really good beer at that. From Flemish reds to lambics, dubbels to blondes, you won't be able to try them all. But you should definitely try." ]

[ "The baffling reason many millennials don't eat cereal" ]

[ "Few things are as painless to prepare as cereal. Making it requires little more than pouring something (a cereal of your choice) into a bowl and then pouring something else (a milk of your choice) into the same bowl. Eating it requires little more than a spoon and your mouth. The food, which Americans still buy $10 billion of annually, has thrived over the decades, at least in part, because of this very quality: its convenience.", "And yet, for today's youth, cereal isn't easy enough.", "On Monday, the New York Times published a story about the breakfast favorite, and the most disconcerting part was this:", "Almost 40 percent of the millennials surveyed by Mintel for its 2015 report said cereal was an inconvenient breakfast choice because they had to clean up after eating it.", "The industry, the piece explained, is struggling — sales have tumbled by almost 30 percent over the past 15 years, and the future remains uncertain. And the reasons are largely those one would expect: Many people are eating breakfast away from the home, choosing breakfast sandwiches and yogurt instead of more traditional morning staples. Many others, meanwhile, too busy to pay attention to their stomachs, are eating breakfast not at all.", "But there is another thing happening, which should scare cereal makers — and, really, anyone who has a stake in this country's future — more: A large contingent of millennials are uninterested in breakfast cereal because eating it means using a bowl, and bowls don't clean themselves (or get tossed in the garbage). Bowls, kids these days groan, have to be cleaned.", "Cereal isn't the only food suffering from a national trend toward laziness. Coffee has suffered a similar fate. Despite talk of a third wave of coffee, which values quality above all else, and basks in artisanal rather than effortless methods of preparation, Americans still covet convenience above all else.", "\"Convenience is the one thing that’s really changing trends these days,\" Howard Telford, an industry analyst at market research firm Euromonitor, said last year.", "Less than 10 percent of the coffee beans Americans buy are fresh whole beans. And ground coffee isn't just outpacing whole bean coffee — it's increasing its lead, each and every year.", "The rise of coffee pods, which come pre-ground and produce a cup of brown caffeinated water with the push of a button, is further evidence of the country's desire for convenience. Sales of coffee pods grew by 138,324 percent between 2004 and 2014, according to data from Euromonitor.", "The popularity of delivery, meanwhile, speaks to the same tendency toward convenience. Roughly 15 percent of restaurant meals are delivered today, according to data from Technomic. But among millennials the percentage is higher: more like 20 percent.", "The reason why convenience is increasingly important isn't merely because people are lazy — many actually need it.", "Families are working more than ever. Almost two-thirds of households are supported by two working parents today, according to the latest government data, which is the highest reading on record. The less time families have to prepare food or sit down at restaurants, the more convenience hovers over decisions about food, especially when there is an option that is easier. Dinner, which isn't being cooked at home as often as it used to, is among the trend's many casualties. Less than 60 percent of suppers served at home were actually cooked at home last year. Only 30 years ago, the percentage was closer to 75 percent.", "But there is something different about the backlash against cereal bowls, something more foundational about it that seems to speak to a greater truth about American households today.", "A 2014 national survey, conducted by Braun Research, found that 82 percent of parents said they were asked to do chores as children. But when they were asked if they required their children to do chores, only 28 percent of them said yes.", "And this generational shift in how families raise their kids seems to be turning even the most mundane of responsibilities, like doing the dishes, into unthinkable nuisances.", "Ultimately, cereal makers will settle on a strategy for reversing the industry's downward trend. Among the likeliest routes are embracing the fact that many people are eating the food at times other than breakfast, often as a snack, channeling the food's nostalgic quality, which helped buoy the industry for years, and shifting to portable containers, which nearly half of millennials prefer, according to Mintel.", "No matter the result, America's youth might have to reckon with the consequences of an age in which it's no longer worth eating a food when it means having to clean a plate. Maybe Soylent is the future after all." ]

[ "A simple but controversial law that can make babies healthier" ]

[ "Changes in the minimum wage can affect newborns' birth weights. (Alexandre Meneghini/Reuters)", "The national debate on the minimum wage has focused on businesses and their workers, but increasing the minimum has consequences for everyone else as well, including the tiniest members of society.", "When expecting mothers are better off, their children will be, too. A When expecting mothers are better off, their children will be, too. A working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research suggests that increasing the minimum wage by $1 increases average birth weights by 11 grams, or about 0.39 ounces, among babies born to women with minimal education. The increase corresponded to a reduction of 2 percent in low birth weight.", "Birth weight is not only connected to babies' health through infancy and childhood, but also to their educational and financial prospects in the rest of their lives. The new paper suggests that the minimum wage could have lasting effects not only on today's economy, but on the next generation of Americans as well.", "Low birth weight is \" a very serious outcome in terms of infant health and even potentially lifetime circumstances,\" said Robert Kaestner, an economist at the University of Illinois at Chicago and one of the authors of the paper. \"Reducing the rate of low birth weight by 3 percent or 5 percent is a nontrivial feat.\"", "Kaestner and his colleagues, George Wehby of the University of Iowa and Dhaval Dave of Bentley University in Massachusetts, used federal data from birth certificates to compare birth weights in states where the minimum wage increased to birth weights in states that did not. The vital records include data on every birth in the country, and the researchers analyzed all of them between 1989 and 2012.", "There are other factors besides the minimum wage that affect average birth weights in a state, but Wehby, Dave and Kaestner found that in states where the minimum increased, birth weights were not significantly different before the increase from birth weights in states without an increase or where there was an increase only several years later. The similarities among states in the periods before increases in the minimum suggest that any differences in birth weight afterward are a result of the minimum wage, not of other factors.", "The results show that an increase in the minimum wage benefited expecting mothers of all kinds, but women who were more likely to earn the minimum wage benefited more, and so did their children.", "In terms of the reduction in low birth weight, babies born to mothers of color benefited about three times as much from increases in the minimum wage as babies born to white mothers.", "Young women with just a high-school diploma were another group whose newborns were particularly helped by the minimum wage. Better educated women were less likely to earn the minimum wage anyway. The same also appeared to be true of older women without a good education, who presumably had had more time to gain experience on the job and were making more money.", "Women without even a diploma also benefited, but less so. Many of them might have had a hard time getting even a minimum-wage job. To the extent that employers hired fewer workers due to the increased cost of labor in states that increased the minimum wage, changes in the minimum might have reduced the incomes of some of these women as well.", "Wehby, Dave and Kaestner's results accord with previous research on the relationship between income and birth weight among women at the margins of the economy, including a Wehby, Dave and Kaestner's results accord with previous research on the relationship between income and birth weight among women at the margins of the economy, including a study on the Earned Income Tax Credit published in 2010." ]

I ask two librarians about it. One concedes women are given short shrift in the series; the other complains about the facile potty humor and bad grammar.

It's they who believe that pretty women are docile and dumb and that ugly women are mean and aggressive, already monsters in spirit, if not in fact.", "The problem with this line of reasoning, however, is that none of this misogyny rings true for a contemporary fourth-grade boy. Fourth-grade boys in 2013 know better. First-grade boys do. My own son knows that girls can do anything boys can do.

Dav Pilkey, like Slade Smiley on The Real Housewives of Orange County, who devoted part of a stand-up routine to calling a woman he didn't like ugly (a woman who then got plastic surgery to prove him wrong), thinks making fun of a woman's looks is comedy gold.

Pilkey, rather than imply that his characters are wrong in their beliefs, doubles down on their being right. In invoking political correctness, he's saying that it's not their thoughts that are wrong; it's society's censorship of their thoughts. Harold and George are fearless rebels speaking truth to power.", "So the crusade starts here -- with this post, so that the next time someone Googles Captain Underpants and misogyny, he or she will get at least one hit.", "Maybe the crusade ends here, too.

[ "Things that happen around us can be majorly divided into 2 categories. One - that happen without any rhyme or reason, and two - that do have a reason but we never really got down to think about it. One such thing is the number of blades of a fan.", "Now you might have noticed, fans come with both 3 and 4 blades depending on the place where they are being used. In India, we usually have them with 3 blades. But the one's with 4 blades, which are mostly used in the US and colder areas, are not just designed that way to look different. There's a reason behind it.", "Source: Giphy", "In US, the sole aim of a ceiling fan is to supplement the air conditioner. Which is why the fan, which is slower than the one with 3 blades, serves the purpose of keeping air circulation in the room. The 4 blades move a large mass of air.", "However, In India, the fan is mostly used as a stand-alone appliance creating a convective cooling effect. Being lighter, the fan operates at a higher speed and is also energy efficient." ]

[ "Harvard researchers discovered the one thing everyone needs for happier, healthier lives" ]

[ "Harvard Medical School professor and researcher, Robert J. Waldinger sat down with TEDxBeaconStreet to discuss what makes \"the good life,\" according to a 75-year-long research project he is now leading. (TEDxBeaconStreet, Photo: Dave Rezendes)", "My grandmother once told me this little story that stuck with me. One afternoon at a doctor’s appointment, her doctor moved her large purse to another chair and remarked how heavy it was. \"You must be very rich,\" he said to her. \"I am,\" she said affirmatively.", "My grandparents lived modestly, still in the narrow two-bedroom rowhouse where she’d raised her family since her husband returned from World War II. They didn’t travel, eat lavish meals or shop at the finest department stores. Neither had careers that followed their passions. (She would have been an amazing teacher, he an exquisite artist.) Yet, she genuinely considered herself rich because she had a husband, children and grandchildren whom she adored.", "My grandmother knew what Harvard researchers have since confirmed: Relationships are the key to a happy life.", "[Your relationships are just as important to your health as diet and exercise]", "Robert Waldinger, a Harvard psychiatrist, took over the more than 75-year-long Grant Study in 2003, becoming the fourth person to run it. He recently gave a TedTalk on it that has been viewed more than 6.5 million times since November 2015.", "Waldinger felt it was important to do it. The federal government had spent millions on the study for decades, but everyday taxpayers didn’t really know what was discovered.", "And there’s certainly an appetite for knowing what makes a good life.", "The longest study of human development, the ongoing Grant Study is a decades-long project that began following the lives of Harvard University men selected in 1938 – among them President John F. Kennedy and former Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee – and tracked every aspect of their lives. In the 1970s, that study teamed with a similar one that had been following a group of young men from inner-city Boston tenements since the 1940s. That has allowed them to contrast social status and upbringings, but otherwise everyone in the study is a white male.", "Periodically the men’s physical and emotional well-being are assessed. Recently that has included genetic testing. Many conclusions have been gleaned from monitoring these lives from young adult through old age, but to Waldinger there’s one clear takeaway: The happiest and healthiest participants in both groups were the ones who maintained close, intimate relationships.", "Waldinger, an Iowan who went to Harvard for undergrad and never left, has known the answer for years. He’s studied relationships his whole career and brought that perspective with him to the study. His first grant proposal as director was to invite the wives of the men – those still alive then in their 80s – to examine the impact of marriages on physical health.", "Those satisfied in their relationships were happier and healthier. It was that simple.", "\"People who are more isolated than they want to be from others find that they are less happy, their health declines earlier in midlife, their brain functioning declines sooner and they live shorter lives than people who are not lonely,\" Waldinger said in his TedTalk. \"And good, close relationships seem to buffer us from some of the slings and arrows of getting old.\"", "Waldinger wants people to realize that the commercial projection of a good life – wealth, fame, career success – won’t bring them health or happiness. It’s the work they put into maintaining connections with other human beings that will.", "Quality and intimacy, as well as stability and consistency also matter. Casual relationships, like the ones forged on social media won’t do; neither will contentious ones like an abusive marriage or an unreliable friend.", "Most of the men in the late 1930s believed career achievement equated a good life. But Waldinger says it’s just as important to work harder on relationships. And for personal happiness, more so.", "Since doing the TedTalk, Waldinger has received hundreds of emails. He’s started a blog to continue the conversation about what makes a good life..", "He said messages range from, \"I always knew it was true, but look around and people act like it’s not what is important,\" to \"What if you are totally alone and have no one in your life?\"", "To the latter he recommends they seek out ways to connect with other people, perhaps by volunteering to help people who are lonely, like the elderly.", "\"It’s useful to know it’s a choice worth making,\" he said.", "His research has inspired him to make his own changes. In his field, there is a lot of pressure to continue researching and publishing. But he’s realized that it’s his role as teacher – the connection between mentor and student – that is more satisfying, so he’s invested more time in that.", "It has also spurred him to consciously reach out more to friends who are sick or struggling, even if it feels uncomfortable, because he knows how much that connection will mean to them.", "\"What we’d really like is a quick fix, something we can get that’ll make our lives good and keep them that way,\" Waldinger said in his TedTalk. \"Relationships are messy and they’re complicated and the hard work of tending to family and friends, it’s not sexy or glamorous. It’s also lifelong. It never ends.\"", "So, go take that longer lunch break with your co-worker. Call a friend for a long overdue catch up. It’s good for your health." ]

[ "Robert Downey Jr. Confirms The Future Of Iron Man 4" ]

[ "1 year ago", "It was just last year that Robert Downey Jr. signed a contract extension with Marvel Studios, confirming him for appearances in bothThe Avengers: Age of Ultronand the inevitableAvengers 3, but one title that was left out of all the talks was any plans forIron Man 4 Many took this as a sign that the number of Tony Stark solo films would be ending at three - and today new quotes have arrived that pretty much confirm that speculation.\"There isn’t one in the pipe. No, there’s no plan for a fourth Iron Man.\" That was the rather blunt response that Downey Jr. gave to Variety recently when asked about the potential future of the successful comic book franchise. The actor is currently up at the Toronto International Film Festival promoting his new movieThe Judge, which is the actor's first dramatic film since 2009'sThe SoloistAnyone who is in any way familiar with the history of contract talks between Robert Downey Jr. and Marvel shouldn't be too surprised that the star's stay as Tony Stark may not extend pastThe Avengers 3. As, statistically, the biggest draw in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Downey Jr. has long had an upper hand in negotiations with the company - to the point where he even got them to pay him $50 million for his work inThe Avengers- a figure that he himself has confirmed. Because of these hardball tactics, there was a time when there was a possibility that the Oscar-nominee wouldn't be inThe Avengers 2- and writer/director Joss Whedon even said that he wouldn't do the movie without him. It's not hard to see why Marvel might not be eager to jump back into contract extension conversations for anIron Man 4Furthermore, while Downey Jr. was undoubtedly an extremely important player in the establishment of Marvel Studios as a blockbuster success, the company has been doing just fine making movies without him recently. James Gunn'sGuardians of the Galaxyand Joe and Anthony Russo'sCaptain America: The Winter Soldiercurrently stand as the two biggest domestic releases of the year, and both achieved their positions without Iron Man's presence (provided you ignore the blink-and-you-miss-it photo of the character in the latter film). It's true that Downey Jr. has appeared in all of the studio's top four titles, but the comic book giant is learning how to achieve big things without the star's presence.So, ifIron Man 4isn't part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase Three plans - what projects are coming up? In addition to Peyton Reed'sAnt-Man, the Russos'Captain America 3, and Gunn'sGuardians of the Galaxy 2, they are also working on seven untitled projects that will be coming out between now and 2019 - three of which are all but confirmed to beDoctor Strange,Thor 3,andThe Avengers 3. Will Iron Man's presence be missed, or do you think Marvel can move on without him?" ]

[ "This country wants to become a major producer of legal marijuana:" ]

[ "Colombia gave a major push to rebooting its marijuana industry this week by awarding its first license for medical marijuana production to a Canadian company with big plans.", "The move marks a changing shift in attitudes towards cannabis in a country that has long been at the center of the U.S.-led war on drugs, and has spent billions of dollars trying to enforce crop eradication and prohibition.", "While cocaine is still strictly forbidden, Colombia’s congress voted to legalize medical marijuana in May. Now the South American country is turning to the multi-billion dollar medical marijuana industry in an effort to create jobs in rural areas.", "On Tuesday Colombian Health Minister Alejandro Gaviria said that seven companies have applied for permits to manufacture medical marijuana products in Colombia. And that’s just the beginning.", "\"There is no limit on the number of licenses we plan to hand out,\" Gaviria said in a press conference. \"Any firm that meets our requirements will get a license.\"", "The first company to get a manufacturing license was Pharmacielo, a Canadian firm that plans to set up production facilities outside Medellin, the city once tormented by Pablo Escobar and his army of cartel hitmen.", "On its website, Pharmacielo says it wants to produce marijuana oil extracts to export to markets that already accept medical marijuana products, including the United States. Pharmacielo argues that Colombia is one of the \"best places in the world\" for medical marijuana production because of its climate, skilled labor force, and relatively low labor costs. The country’s experience cultivating and exporting cut flowers is expected to translate into a competitive advantage for the upstart medical marijuana industry.", "Pharmacielo", "\"Colombia will play a significant role in this developing international industry,\" Pharmacielo’s Colombia manager Federico Cock-Correa said in a statement after the company received its manufacturing license on Tuesday.", "With its manufacturing license awarded, Pharmacielo will now be able to apply for a license to legally grow marijuana plants in Colombia.", "\"This approval brings us closer to our goal,\" the company said in a statement.", "Colombia has a bitter sweet relationship with marijuana, which is currently the most consumed illicit drug in the country. One recent survey suggests that 11% of the population has tried it at least once.", "The plant was first introduced to Colombia in the 1950s. A decade later, local strains of weed were \"discovered\" by Peace Corps volunteers who were dazzled by its quality and took it back to the U.S. in small quantities. By the 1970s drug barons in northern Colombia were smuggling an estimated 500,00 pounds of marijuana to the U.S. each week by boat and plane. With the State Department’s help, the government cracked down hard on drug exports, and as weed production picked up in the U.S. Colombia’s marijuana production slumped and drug kingpins turned towards cocaine. Nowadays, marijuana production in Colombia is mostly for the domestic market.", "The Colombian government which has been calling for new approaches to the drug problem, rarely penalizes the consumption of marijuana these days, and a Supreme Court sentence even allows users to carry a personal dose of 20 grams.", "But producing and selling marijuana for recreational purposes is still illegal here.", "Despite these limitations, medical marijuana entrepreneurs are hoping their Colombia gambit will pay off.", "\"This land of sunshine and soil can do more than grow flowers\" Pharmacielo said in a promotional video. \"We’re planning to turn what has caused so much trouble into a seed for change.\"" ]

[ "Four romantic Christmas films that are actually completely unrealistic" ]

[ "Christmas film aficionado Rachel Hosie laments the fact that real life festive romances so rarely occur like rom-coms would have us believe", "It’s cuffing season.", "Mistletoe abounds, mulled wine flows and everyone’s that little bit more merry.", "And if Christmas films are anything to go by, it’s the time of year when all your romantic dreams will come true.", "Yes, ‘tis the season to declare your enduring love for your office crush and propose to the girl you’ve kissed just once. Because that’s always going to end well, isn’t it?", "As wonderful as they are, festive films can give a person pretty high expectations and probably false hopes about how their love life will play out over Christmas.", "The most obvious culprit is, of course, perennial favourite Love, Actually. Whilst love actually may be all around, for most of us it doesn’t play out quite as well as the characters in Richard Curtis’ heartwarming festive film.. ", "The tale of interwoven characters and their interconnected relationships is a masterpiece, no doubt. An uplifting and seasonal joy to behold. But there are some aspects to the film we possibly shouldn’t mimic.", "Do you work for Theresa May and have a bit of a thing for her? Probably don’t write that in her Christmas card. Philip will not be best pleased and you’re not going to end up kissing the PM backstage at a school nativity play. Sorry.", "Are you in love with your best friend’s wife? Absolutely do not tell her. That is an awful thing to do. Don’t do it, even if \"at Christmas you tell the truth.\" If her husband finds out, your friendship is over, amigo. ", "Also, Andrew Lincoln’s character Mark is clearly a creep and in real life Juliet (Keira Knightley) would’ve been totally freaked out by his video montage of close-ups of her. That’s kinda stalker-ish.", "If you find yourself the Juliet in all this, do not run after your husband’s BFF after he’s declared his love for you and kiss him. \"Enough,\" says Mark. But realistically that would definitely give him false hope and dreams of starting an affair. It can't have ended well.", "Then we have The Holiday, which has been giving American women false expectations of British men since 2006. Alas, they’re not all Jude Laws. ", "But it’s Christmas! And even though Cameron Diaz said she wouldn’t fall in love with Jude, she cried for the first time in years so evidently she did!", "No. That would not happen. Even with all the Christmas spirit (and the most attractive people) in the world, they would not fall in love in under a fortnight. And Jack Black would not fly all the way to the UK to spend New Year with a woman he’d just met. Soz, Kate.", "Speaking of unrealistic Christmas couples, we need to talk about Elf. As cheery and spirited as Will Ferrell’s character is, I’m not convinced Zooey Deschanel would fall for him. ", "He snuck into the bathroom when she was in the shower, for goodness’ sake. And although he may not have realised that’s socially unacceptable, she would likely have been so creeped out she’d avoid him at all costs. ", "Do not do that, people - save that beautiful duet of Baby, It’s Cold Outside for another time. Preferably when both parties are fully-clothed.", "But the message is, of course, that even the odd guys can get the girl, and perhaps the most extreme example of this is The Grinch. Sure, the moral is that maybe, Christmas doesn’t come from a store, but there’s also a highly unrealistic romantic sub-plot.", "Need to find someone who likes me as much as Martha May loves the Grinch", "Of course, the film concludes with the Grinch’s life-long crush Martha May choosing him over the mayor. Because that’s what happens at Christmas, isn’t it? The underdog always triumphs. ", "Yup, it’s a time of year when anyone with a marginally romantic bone in their body hopes that the magic of the season may make their enduring romantic daydreams a reality.", "But even if it doesn’t all work out like a Richard Curtis film, if the realisation that love actually is all around prompts us all to be a smidge more bold at Christmas, that’s probably not a bad thing. The chances are your beloved will also be feeling imbued with festive spirit too, and there are plenty of couples who do get together under the mistletoe. ", "However I’d probably caution against flying to another country to propose to a woman with whom you haven’t even had one proper conversation. I’m looking at you, Colin Firth." ]

[ "Grandpa Thinks Her Baby Announcement Is The Surprise. But Then She Reveals The REAL Secret..." ]

[ "In September 2015, Leann and her husband went to visit her Grandpa Ried, and they came bearing a huge surprise. Leann kept the fact she was expecting twins a secret from her beloved grandfather, knowing his reaction would be priceless... and she was absolutely right.", "In this video, the granddad-to-be freaks out when he sees the first ultrasound photo. At first, Ried doesn’t even realize there is not one baby, but two! He begins sobbing like a baby himself, and even lets out a certain expletive during all the excitement.", "Can you blame him? He’s going to be a great-grandfather!", "But then comes the double whammy, and it’s a reaction you don’t want to miss. Not only is it hilarious, but it’s enough to bring a tear to your eye. It’s great to see a rough-and-tumble man like Ried who’s not afraid to show his softer side.", "Leann gave birth to beautiful twin girls in February 2016, and I have no doubt Ried has already become one awesome great-grandpa." ]

[ "Facebook says it plans to marginalize what it considers to be \"clickbait\" news stories from publishers in its news feed, in another step to keep its 1.71 billion members regularly coming back to its social network.", "In a change to its news feed algorithm on Thursday, Facebook said certain types of headlines would be classified as clickbait, those that \"withhold or distort information.\" Those stories will then appear less frequently in users’ feeds, the company said.", "\"We want publishers to post content that people care about, and we think people care about headlines that are much more straightforward,\" Adam Mosseri, Facebook’s vice president for product management for the news feed, said in an interview.", "Facebook has been working to maintain the integrity of the news feed to keep users happy and spending as much time on Facebook as possible. The Silicon Valley company constantly tweaks its algorithms, and in June it made a sweeping set of changes that would rank publisher content in general less favorably in the news feed.", "Thursday’s algorithm change is not the first time Facebook has cracked down on clickbait. In 2014, the company said it was moving to feature spamlike articles less prominently by looking at other factors, such as if a user has \"liked\" and then quickly \"unliked\" a story that appeared in the feed. Other factors, such as how much time people spent reading an article after clicking on it, also contributed to Facebook’s clickbait calculations.", "Thursday’s announcement goes a step further. Facebook spent months classifying phrases commonly used in clickbait headlines. Mr. Mosseri offered examples like \"The Dog Barked at the Deliveryman and His Reaction Was Priceless,\" or \"When She Looked Under Her Couch Cushions and Saw THIS ... I Was SHOCKED!\"", "The company’s algorithms then took note of the websites from which the articles were coming, and could detect patterns of traffic coming from those sites over time. That process was then automated, and content identified as clickbait will now appear lower in the news feed than before. Mr.. Mosseri likened the practice to a kind of email spam filtering process.", "The move will most likely heighten the anxiety of publishers that rely heavily on Facebook for traffic and often complain about having little insight into the company’s decision-making on how its all-powerful algorithm functions.", "The social network’s vast user base and sophisticated targeting capabilities allow publishers to reach new audiences far beyond the direct traffic a media company receives at its own site. As a result, Facebook has been able to largely dictate the terms on which it engages with publishers, which have few other options for distributing their articles.", "Julie Hansen, the president and chief operating officer of the online publication Business Insider, said it would take Facebook’s latest algorithm change under consideration.", "\"We don’t do what we consider to be clickbaity headlines,\" she said, \"but we’ll certainly consider Facebook’s guidance when we look to post our content onto Facebook and adapt the headlines if needed.\"", "Facebook said that publishers that have clickbaitlike headlines and are ranked lower because of the algorithm change will have the opportunity to change their ways and rise again in the rankings.", "Some publishers are now betting on a future beyond total reliance on Facebook, as companies like Snapchat and Google offer media companies other avenues to distribute their work.", "\"Today we’re at peak Facebook — Facebook dominates everything,\" said Zachary Kaplan, a vice president at the investment firm General Atlantic, which has invested in digital media companies like BuzzFeed and Vox Media.", "\"We will naturally evolve to a place where there will be more competition among digital distributors,\" he said, \"and that would result in, naturally, more leverage for publishers.\"", "For now, Facebook said it planned to improve relationships with publishers by becoming more transparent about its news feed practices. Mr. Mosseri regularly meets with publishers to discuss algorithm changes.", "\"It’s becoming clear to us how there’s a lot of anxiety over what we do,\" Mr. Mosseri said. \"I spend a lot of time trying to ease that anxiety.\"" ]

It's about giving people better health care, giving them a better quality of life,\" Jones told The Huffington Post over the phone on Wednesday, acknowledging that there was a lack of understanding among Tennessee's Republican lawmakers about medical cannabis. \"They think it's all blowing smoke in baby's faces, I guess. They don't understand there are other ways to use marijuana, like tinctures and lotions.\"", "HB 1385, also known as the Koozer-Kuhn Medical Cannabis Act, would make it legal for patients suffering from conditions like cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, post-traumatic stress disorder and Alzheimer's disease to use cannabis for medical purposes. The bill also allows for \"any other medical condition\" to be treated with marijuana as long as a doctor prescribes it and the state health department approves it.", "People suffering from the effects of treatment for such diseases could also legally use marijuana if the bill becomes law.", "Anyone enrolled in the state medical marijuana program would not be subject to arrest or prosecution by state authorities, although federal law is another matter. The bill would also make it against the law for a school, employer or landlord to discriminate against medical marijuana users.", "Tennessee's proposed medical marijuana law has some restrictions, too, however. Patients who apply to the program would need to submit to a criminal background check before they can be approved, and certain felony drug offenders would be excluded. Those who qualify would be limited to possessing a month's supply of marijuana.", "Additionally, the law would not permit cannabis to be consumed on a school bus or school grounds, on public transportation or in any public place, in a substance abuse treatment facility or where the smoke could have adverse effects on the health, safety or welfare of children.", "The bill is named, in part, after Piper Koozer, a 2-year-old girl who suffers from a seizure disorder associated with Aicardi Syndrome.

[ "A healthy 20-year-old woman was running on a beach with friends when she fell on the wet sand. After briefly standing, she fell again, and within 30 seconds, became unresponsive. Her lips turned blue and she started gasping for breath. Her friends quickly called the paramedics and performed CPR, but it didn't help, according to a recent report of her case.", "She was pronounced dead within half an hour. What happened?", "According to the case report, the impact of the woman's body on the sand when she fell was enough to prompt a rare heart condition called commotio cordis, in which the heart is jolted into an arrhythmic pattern, after which it stops altogether. The report was published online Nov. 1 in the Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine.", "Commotio cordis is caused by an abrupt blow to the heart, usually by something small like a baseball, that strikes at a very specific time, said Dr. Emile Daoud, professor of internal medicine at the Ohio State University Medical Center, who was not involved in the woman's case. It typically strikes kids who have less muscle and fat than adults to shield their hearts. [9 Oddest Medical Cases]", "The condition results from a blow during the brief period of time after the heart contracts, when the organ is recharging itself. During this time -- a span of a few milliseconds -- one part of the heart has repolarized and is ready to fire, while the rest of the organ is not yet ready. If an abrupt, focused blow strikes during this time, it can cause part of the heart to fire, but not the rest of it, Daoud said.", "\"This throws everything into chaos,\" Daoud told LiveScience. The heart goes into ventricular fibrillation, a name for the uncoordinated contraction of the ventricles (the lower chambers of the heart), and the patient usually dies from cardiac arrest.", "Commotio cordis is quite rare, killing between two to four people yearly in the United States, according to the study. But once it strikes, it is deadly -- only about 10 percent of U.S. patients have been resuscitated and survived.", "Due to its rarity, Daoud said he has not seen a case of commotio cordis, but has colleagues who have.", "Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a preventive cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, has not seen patients with the condition and hasn't heard of colleagues seeing it, either, though she has read about it. \"It's certainly scary -- these people are otherwise healthy with no underlying conditions,\" she told LiveScience.", "But this case was even more unusual and rare than most. The patient was an adult, but the average age of people the condition strikes is 14. She was also overweight, whereas the condition tends to strike lean people -- it's thought that fat helps shield the heart from this type of blow, the researchers said.", "Moreover, the woman fell on sand, which wouldn't be expected to cause this condition, Daoud said. Typically a very focused, hard impact is necessary, like a blow from a speeding baseball.", "Even soccer balls and footballs have only rarely been found to lead to commotio cordis, Daoud added." ]

Most people don't need all the horsepower and functionality of a smartphone for fitness tracking and listening to music, which are arguably the only two features you need on a run.

For one, it doesn't have a heart-rate monitor, and it doesn't have a display to show you real-time data while you're out on your run. You'll have to pair the Core with Pebble's new smartwatches that now come with built-in heart-rate monitors to check your heart rate and distance/pace data in real time.", "Or you just wait until you get home to sync it with your favorite fitness app on your smartphone.", "For those who need real-time heart-rate monitoring and data and GPS, there are smartwatches out there that are better suited for the job, like the TomTom Spark, Adidas miCoach, and Timex Ironman One GPS+. They also have onboard storage for music files, but none of these can sync your Spotify playlists like the Core can.", "Unfortunately, we'll have to wait quite awhile for the Core to be released.

[ "Will Doctor Strange Include Another Major Villain From The Comics?" ]

[ "Will Doctor Strange Include Another Major Villain From The Comics? By Adam Holmes Warning: possible spoilers for Doctor Strange are ahead! Stephen Strange's debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe this fall is, of course, also including a few of his adversaries from the comics. We've known for a while that Mads Mikkelsen will be playing Doctor Strange's main antagonist, Kaecilius, one of the Ancient One's former followers. Then there's Chiwetel Ejiofor's Mordo, who, although an ally in this movie, could follow in his comic book counterpart's footsteps and become Stephen's arch-nemesis in the future. Now there's a possible hint of an even bigger villain (figuratively and literally) appearing who fans have speculated about, but has never been officially confirmed: Dormammu. Following the report that Rick and Morty creator Dan Harmon is writing some scenes for Doctor Strange, Reddit user \"Bifrost51\" went back to watch the San Diego Comic-Con episode of the Harmontown podcast. One of the moments showed a list of document on Harmon's computer, and one of the files was named \"Strange Confronts Dormammu.\" Keep in mind that this by no means official. Assuming the screenshot is real, it could just be Harmon screwing around with everyone watching. Maybe he just gave a document that title to throw fans off track about what's really happening. However, if this document is the real deal, this means that Dormammu has been secretly been set up as major threat in Doctor Strange. To what extent remains to be seen.. Dormammu is without a doubt Doctor Strange's most powerful recurring enemy in the comics. Thanks to Strange helping Dormammu in their first encounter when his minions, the Mindless Ones, went out of control, the ruler of the Dark Dimension agreed never to enter the \"Earth realm\" again. Unfortunately, even with that restriction, Dormammu hasn't stopped trying to invade our plane of existence in other ways. There could be a similar setup in Doctor Strange, as some have speculated that the weird blackening around Kaecilius' eyes might be a sign of Dormammu's influence or possession over him. Perhaps in order to accomplish his goals, Kaecilius has resorted to harnessing some kind of dark magic, i.e. Dormammu's power. That in turn provides a conduit for Dormammu to initiate his own plans on Earth, since he can't do anything by himself directly. Obviously this all just guesswork, but if Dormmamu does appear in Doctor Strange, it's important he's adapted correctly.. This is not the kind of villain who you use for one movie and then kill by the end of the story. Not only would he make a great enemy for Doctor Strange 2, but we don't want a repeat of Galactus in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer or Parallax in Green Lantern. Either way, we only have a little over two months until we learn whether Dormammu's inclusion is legitimate or not. Doctor Strange will work its magic in theaters on November 4. Let us know if you'd enjoy a possible Dormammu appearance in the comments below. Blended From Around The Web Comments Facebook", "Back to top" ]

[ "Can the United Kingdom government legally disregard a vote for Brexit?" ]

[ "What follows any What follows any referendum vote next week for the United Kingdom to leave the EU? From a legal perspective, the immediate consequence is simple: nothing will happen.", "The relevant legislation did not provide for the referendum result to have any formal trigger effect. The referendum is advisory rather than mandatory. The 2011 referendum on electoral reform did have an obligation on the government to legislate in the event of a \"yes\" vote (the vote was \"no\" so this did not matter). But no such provision was included in the EU referendum legislation.", "What happens next in the event of a vote to leave is therefore a matter of politics not law. It will come down to what is politically expedient and practicable. The UK government could seek to ignore such a vote; to explain it away and characterise it in terms that it has no credibility or binding effect (low turnout may be such an excuse). Or they could say it is now a matter for parliament, and then endeavour to win the parliamentary vote. Or ministers could try to re-negotiate another deal and put that to another referendum. There is, after all, a tradition of EU member states repeating referendums on EU-related matters until voters eventually vote the \"right\" way.", "What matters in law is when and whether the government invokes Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. This is the significant \"red button\". Once the Article 50 process is commenced then Brexit does become a matter of law, and quite an urgent one. It would appear this process is (and is intended to be) irreversible and irrevocable once it starts. But invoking Article 50 is a legally distinct step from the referendum result — it is not an obligation.", "Article 50 in full contains the following provisions:", "1. Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements. 2. A Member State which decides to withdraw shall notify the European Council of its intention. In the light of the guidelines provided by the European Council, the Union shall negotiate and conclude an agreement with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union. That agreement shall be negotiated in accordance with Article 218(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It shall be concluded on behalf of the Union by the Council, acting by a qualified majority, after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament. 3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period. 4. For the purposes of paragraphs 2 and 3, the member of the European Council or of the Council representing the withdrawing Member State shall not participate in the discussions of the European Council or Council or in decisions concerning it. A qualified majority shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3)(b) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. 5. If a State which has withdrawn from the Union asks to rejoin, its request shall be subject to the procedure referred to in Article 49.", "There are three points of interest here in respect of any withdrawal from the EU by the UK.", "First, it is a matter for a member state’s \"own constitutional requirements\" as to how it decides to withdraw. The manner is not prescribed: so it can be a referendum, or a parliamentary vote, or some other means. In the UK, it would seem that some form of parliamentary approval would be required — perhaps a motion or resolution rather than a statute. The position, however, is not clear and the UK government has so far been coy about being specific.", "Second, the crucial act is the notification by the member state under Article 50(2). That is the event which commences the formal process, which is then intended to be effected by negotiation and agreement. There is no (express) provision for a member state to withdraw from the process or revoke the notification. Once the notification is given, the member state and the EU are stuck with it.", "And third, there is a hard deadline of two years. This is what gives real force to Article 50. The alternative would be the prospect of a never ending story of rounds of discussions and negotiations. Once notification is given, then the member state is out in two years, unless this period is extended by unanimous agreement. It is possible that such unanimity may be forthcoming – but this would be outside of the power of the member state. Once the button is pushed, the countdown cannot just be switched off by a member state saying it has changed its mind, or by claiming that the Article 50 notification was just a negotiation tactic all along. That will not wash.", "This said, what is created by international agreement can be undone by international agreement. Practical politicians in Brussels may come up with some muddling fudge which holds off the two year deadline. Or there could be some new treaty amendment. These conveniences cannot, however, be counted on. The assumption must be that once the Article 50 notification is given, the UK will be out of the EU in two years or less..", "What happens between a Leave vote and any Article 50 notification will be driven by politics. The conventional wisdom is that, of course, a vote for Brexit would have to be respected. (This is the same conventional wisdom which told us that, of course, Jeremy Corbyn would not be elected Labour leader and that, of course, Donald Trump would not be the Republican nominee.) To not do so would be \"unthinkable\" and \"political suicide\" and so on.", "And if there is a parliamentary vote before any Article 50 notification then there is the potential irony of those seeking to defend parliamentary sovereignty demanding that an extra-parliamentary referendum be treated as binding. But it must be right that the final decision is made by parliament, regardless of what the supposed defenders of parliamentary sovereignty say.", "One suspects that no great thought went into the practical and legal consequences of a Leave vote because it was expected that the vote would be, of course, for the UK to remain. That may well be the result: nobody knows what will happen next week, and only a fool relies on opinion polls. And referendums do tend to support the status quo (though not always). It could turn out that worrying about what happens if there is a vote for Brexit is misplaced.", "What is certain is that if there an Article 50 notification then there will be immense legal work to be done. Over 40 years of law-making — tens of thousands of legal instruments — will have to be unpicked and either placed on some fresh basis or discarded with thought as to the consequences. The UK government has depended since 1972 — indeed it has over-depended — on it being easy to implement law derived from the EU. The task of repeal and replacement will take years to complete, if it is ever completed. Even if the key legislation — especially the European Communities Act 1972 — is repealed there will have to be holding and saving legislation for at least a political generation.", "A vote for Brexit will not be determinative of whether the UK will leave the EU. That potential outcome comes down to the political decisions which then follow before the Article 50 notification. The policy of the government (if not of all of its ministers) is to remain in the EU. The UK government may thereby seek to put off the Article 50 notification, regardless of political pressure and conventional wisdom.", "There may already be plans in place to slow things down and to put off any substantive decision until after summer.. In turn, those supporting Brexit cannot simply celebrate a vote for leave as a job done — for them the real political work begins in getting the government to make the Article 50 notification as soon as possible with no further preconditions.", "On the day after a vote for Brexit, the UK will still be a member state of the EU. All the legislation which gives effect to EU law will still be in place. Nothing as a matter of law changes in any way just because of a vote to Leave. What will make all the legal difference is not a decision to leave by UK voters in a non-binding advisory vote, but the decision of the prime minister on making any Article 50 notification.", "And what the prime minister will do politically after a referendum vote for Brexit is, at the moment, as unknown as the result of the referendum itself." ]

[ "\"I tried the alkaline diet and here's what happened\"" ]

[ "When Kelly Ripa revealed this summer that an alkaline cleanse had changed her life, I had to know more. Could this be the secret to her boundless energy and flawless bob? Since I've long had a life crush on Ripa and her tiny, impossibly sculpted arms, I set out to investigate.", "The buzz", "Superfans claim the alkaline diet can change your biology, and Ripa's not the only celeb devotee — stars from Victoria Beckham to Gwyneth Paltrow and Elle MacPherson have reportedly embraced the fad over the years. Supporters say it can have a positive impact on any number of ailments, including arthritis, joint pain, kidney stones, heart problems and even cancer.", "Save TODAY.com Copyright issue Get the inside scoop on the trendy alkaline diet. Find out what it entails and if it actually works. 41 4 TODAY Show HEALTH + WELLNESS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Save TODAY.com Copyright issue Get the inside scoop on the trendy alkaline diet. Find out what it entails and if it actually works. 41 4 TODAY Show HEALTH + WELLNESS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------", "While there's no hard evidence this diet does any of those things, the experts I spoke to didn't have a problem with people trying it since it essentially comes down to \"eating less junk.\" When I consulted my doctor, she frown-nodded as I explained what foods it would entail eating and cutting out. \"Sounds pretty healthy,\" she said with a shrug.", "Meena Hart Duerson Smoothies and I became really good friends over the course of the week.", "How it works", "The explanation behind the diet makes very little scientific sense, but here's my best approximation, since everyone you talk to says something a little bit different. The premise is that our blood's PH level is naturally slightly alkaline (perfectly neutral would be 7.0, and our blood stays around 7.4). Proponents of the diet believe your body is happier in a more alkaline state — and that food can change this balance.", "Foods fall on a scale between alkaline-promoting and acid-producing — fresh fruits and vegetables, for example, are on the alkaline end, while coffee, refined sugars and flours, white bread, cheese and meats are in the acid category. (You can find any number of charts online with these categorizations, though there is some variation.)", "Meena Hart Duerson Fresh fruit and water with lemon slices are great alkaline-promoting snacks..", "Fans of the diet recommend eating alkaline-promoting foods and cutting out the acid-producing ones, arguing that if your body has to work less to maintain its PH balance, it's easier on all your organs and systems, and you can reap loads of health benefits.", "The fact is (paging your high school biology teacher), you can't really change your blood PH. And no matter what you eat, your body is going to keep your PH balanced within this range, because if it didn't, you would die. So while the experts I interviewed say the supposed rationale behind the diet doesn't hold water, there's almost no risk in trying it, since the recommended foods are just foods that are already good for you.", "\"The reason behind it really makes no difference because it's a health-promoting eating plan,\" TODAY's diet and nutrition editor Madelyn Fernstrom told me. \"But to say that the alkaline diet specifically is altering your body function because of a change in your body PH? That's not something you can do.\"", "The experiment", "Armed with a chart I printed off the Internet (science!) and a box of PH strips I ordered to test my saliva (which has a different PH level than your blood but is also believed to be healthier if it's more alkaline — see? The whole thing gets very confusing), I set out to try the diet for seven days.", "Meena Hart Duerson This kale smoothie with mango, avocado and coconut water became a favorite breakfast item on the cleanse.", "For one slightly depressing week, I cut out all the foods on the \"acid\" side of the chart and limited my meals to foods on the alkaline side. I originally tried to start the diet while headed to a wedding out of town, but had to start over because I failed almost immediately. It turns out it's very tough to stick to these restrictions on the road — try finding an airport salad or an entrée at a Midwestern Mexican restaurant that doesn't come covered in cheese.", "Meena Hart Duerson Over the course of this experiment, quinoa and I had a frienaissance. I'm sorry for judging you so harshly before, quinoa. You're not so bad.", "But when I was back in my own kitchen or willing to shell out a little extra cash at New York's array of overpriced health food restaurants, the diet was easier to follow. Smoothies were an easy solution, as were salads. After cutting out meat, I found myself forming a special bond with tofu. I even developed a fondness for quinoa and lentils, which I had (mistakenly!) shunned in the past. And I fully fell in love with my first-ever bowl of chia pudding, the kind of surprisingly delightful eating experience that made me feel Gwyneth-levels of radiant.", "Meena Hart Duerson Eating this chia pudding was the most life-changing part of the experiment.", "I spit-tested my PH twice a day, morning and night, and measured it against the guide on the back of the box. On days when I really loaded up on fresh fruits, I did notice it shift to be slightly more alkaline, but overall it stayed within a pretty constant range close to neutral.", "Meena Hart Duerson The diet definitely made me step up my salad-eating game.", "The verdict", "On days when I didn't have time to really prepare a good breakfast, I struggled to find good options, leaving me ravenous by the time lunch rolled around. This diet is feasible if you are good at planning ahead, and a little more challenging if you're like me and are used to snagging a snack at Dunkin' Donuts on the way into work.", "I weighed myself on a daily basis and was pretty surprised to see the numbers barely budge. After a week, though, I was down two pounds — which is a pretty standard amount of weight loss when following a healthy diet. So it's not some kind of miracle that will transform you into a swimsuit model overnight, but it is a good rubric to use if you're looking to clean up your diet.", "Meena Hart Duerson I tested the PH in my saliva using these strips.", "My main problems were eating on the go, boredom, and the psychic pain of bypassing the steaming tub of macaroni cheese in the cafeteria at lunch. After five days of following the diet as strictly as possible, I did \"cheat\" by having my avocado on a piece of whole wheat toast, which tasted like heaven after days of bread deprivation.", "Plus, I hated being that person anytime I shared a meal with friends, having to constantly explain why I couldn't eat this or that. Sometimes it's just easier to shut up and eat the cheese than explain for the millionth time that you're conducting on a bizarre Kelly Ripa-inspired food experiment \"for work.\" Plus, cheese tastes really good. Have you had cheese lately? Let's be real. It's the best.", "I did feel better physically during the experiment, and completely bloat-free, which is something I realized more after I went off of it and resumed my pre-diet levels of pasta and caffeine. I didn't notice any of the short-term health benefits I'd read about, like shinier hair or better skin. But the highly restrictive nature of the diet became really onerous, and because it was so difficult, it was hard for me to maintain — the battle to find meals that fit the bill often left me feeling low energy.", "While I have no desire to keep a strictly alkaline diet going forward — please see my above thoughts about cheese — it was a nice jolt to realize how much better it feels not to be weighed down by junk food, and just how good fresh fruits and veggies are, and are for you. If you're looking to try the alkaline diet, I say go for it — just remember it's not a magic bullet.", "\"If you want to do it, it's certainly not going to harm you; it's probably going to be healthful,\" Fernstrom said. \"It's a win-win, but not for the reasons people think. This is one case where the diet plan makes no biological sense but is still good for you.\"" ]

Mike Judge’s \"Idiocracy,\" about a man (Luke Wilson) who wakes up 500 years in the future to find that America has degenerated into a nation of fools, has become a kind of catechism for those who believe that Trump voters are TV-brainwashed morons.

The movie is \"Pain & Gain.\"", "Over the past couple of weeks, the strongest line of critique to emerge against Trump is that he’s a fraud, that his business success is a mirage and a front, that his claims to deal-making prowess would prove ephemeral and that he doesn’t believe anything that he says. But the backlash to those attacks has also been ferocious, as Trump voters fiercely reject the counsel of former party leaders such as Mitt Romney and John McCain.", "If this is mystifying to some observers, the obvious answer is that his supporters don’t care if Trump is a fake; they find him appealing and inspiring anyway. \"Pain & Gain\" is a movie about that kind of thinking, about the disgust it inspires in response and about the unbridgeable gap between two very different visions of America.", "\"Pain & Gain\" is set in Miami in 1994 and 1995, and as Ed Harris says in a voice-over toward the beginning of the film, \"Unfortunately, this is a true story.\" It follows Daniel Lugo (Mark Wahlberg), a personal trainer who wants to make more of his life, as he decides to extort one of his clients, Victor Kershaw (Tony Shalhoub), a plan that escalates into torture and murder. Eventually, a retired private investigator named Ed DuBois (Harris) gets curious enough to take Victor’s case. DuBois’s pursuit of Lugo makes for an entertaining detective story, but it’s also a contest between two radically different understandings of the American idea.", "Lugo is driven by a kind of bewildered grievance, a confusion that all the work he’s put into bodybuilding hasn’t earned him the respect, the material goods and romantic success he believes should be his under the terms of the American social contract:", "\"If you’re willing to do the work, you can have anything. That’s what makes the U.S. of A. great. When it started, America was just a handful of scrawny colonies. Now, it’s the most buffed, pumped-up country on the planet. That’s pretty rad,\" Lugo insists in the monologue that kicks off \"Pain & Gain.\" \"Most people say they want to look better. Not everyone’s willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it. All of my heroes are self-made: Rocky, Scarface, all the guys from ‘The Godfather.’ They all started out with nothing and built their way to perfection. The way to prove yourself is to better yourself. That’s the American Dream. I have no sympathy for people who squander their gifts. It’s sickening. It’s worse than sickening. It’s unpatriotic.\"", "Throw in some references to \"losers\" and \"low-energy\" people and Trump could use this as a stump speech.", "But Daniel isn’t coming to these ideas entirely on his own. If there’s a Trump-like figure in the movie, it’s Jonny Wu (Ken Jeong), a motivational speaker who tours under the slogan \"Get Off Your Lazy American [A–],\" brags about having dumped his wife for a roster of seven girlfriends and peddles an insipid plan for self-improvement:", "Wu is obviously a manipulative hack — if a effective one — but \"Pain & Gain\" makes clear why he’s appealing to people like Lugo. Wu is excellent at furnishing his listeners with catchy mantras that seem to set a confusing world in order a la Trump’s \"Make America Great Again,\" and in his three-piece suits and parade of honeys, he embodies a very particular vision of high class. If he expressed his fondness for pink marble and wasn’t Asian, Wu might be close to an explicit riff on Trump himself, his seminars the fictional equivalent of the legally embattled Trump University.", "And when Wu singles Lugo out for special attention at a seminar, he makes Lugo feel recognized and appreciated after years of believing that he’s been chronically overlooked and underrated. Never mind that Wu’s demand that Lugo declare himself \"a do-er or a don’t-er\" is standard audience participation schtick, or that when Wu gives Lugo a private training session it’s clear that he can’t wait to bail on the overeager man standing in front of him.. Lugo intuits a personal connection, just as Trump voters feel exhilarated and validated by their candidate’s crass rejection of establishment politicians and establishment values.", "And in what he believes to be in keeping with Wu’s teaching, Lugo pulls together his friends Adrian (Anthony Mackie) and Paul (a fantastic Dwayne Johnson) to kidnap Kershaw, and later to try to pull the same stunt on Frank Griga (Michael Rispoli), a wealthy operator of phone sex lines.", "The bloody path Lugo, Adrian and Paul travel down brings them into conflict with two men who have a radically different sense of how to live out American values.", "Lugo chooses Kershaw as a target because he despises the man as a braggart who doesn’t work hard in the gym and, frankly, because Lugo can’t understand why Kershaw is wealthy while he is not. But as Kershaw explains, he’s equally determined: He just invests his energy in other ways.", "\"My grandfather fled Germany in 1943. I was born in Bogota, grew up in New York City. Put myself through college working six nights a week at Pizza Hut,\" Kershaw tells us in a voice-over during his captivity. \"Busted my [a–], but ended up comptroller of a billion-dollar pipeline in the rectum of the Third World. I put up with [s—] they don’t have names for in civilization.\"", "And just as Lugo hates Kershaw, Kershaw is disgusted by Lugo. After Lugo has locked up Kershaw in his own warehouse, Kershaw tells him bitterly that Lugo’s failures are his own fault, that he’s broke because he never went to college and because he’s focused on building his body rather than developing plans for a viable business.", "Lugo goes ballistic, as he does again later in the movie when Griga says that he doesn’t think Lugo is \"a hard worker\" and he doesn’t trust Lugo to run a business. Both men hit on Lugo’s deepest fear, the one that makes him most vulnerable and volatile: the idea that his dissatisfaction might be his own fault, rather than someone else’s. In Griga’s case, exposing the delusion and denial that define Lugo’s life will prove fatal.", "The presidential election has, thus far, been blessedly spared the sort of violence that shows up in \"Pain & Gain.\" But the race is defined by an eerily similar dynamic. Calling Trump voters racist, or dumb, or crass, did not, unsurprisingly, persuade hordes of them to vote for John Kasich, or Jeb Bush, or even Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio instead. Instead, every attempt to delegitimize Trump has exposed and broadened the gaps between Americans with radically different, and perhaps irreconcilable, views of their country. And Trump’s rallies have often been punctuated by ugly incidents in which attendees get rough with protesters — sometimes at Trump’s behest — turning on anyone who interrupts Trump’s communion with his audiences.", "That gap is evident at the end of \"Pain & Gain,\" too. The movie closes with Kershaw regaining at least some of his wealth, and DuBois sitting on the dock outside of his beautiful, modernist house, staring at the water with his wife and enjoying the good fortune he earned through honest work.. Lugo, by contrast, is on death row.", "But just because he’s locked up doesn’t mean he’s given up his dreams about what he deserves, or his idea of what it means to be American. And just as Trump is a unique figure, he’s exposed a deep vein of discontent that both Republicans and Democrats will have to reckon with in years to come.", "\"All I ever wanted out of life was what everyone else had. Not more. Just not the less I was used to. Well, I took a real swing for it, you know?\" Lugo muses in the prison yard. \"And for a while, it was like I always thought it would be. I was one of you. And it felt good. People finally saw me like I saw myself and you can’t ask for more than that. Maybe I did, though. Maybe it got so I didn’t want to be ‘equal to’ anymore. I wanted to be ‘better than.’ And that’s a recipe for injury. That doesn’t mean you give up, though. You rest, you heal and you get back on that bench. Life is going to give me another set. And I am going to rock it.\"" ]

[ "Why are Apple’s iPhone icons shaped as rounded squares?" ]

[ "With very few exceptions — Apple Music being chief among them — every design decision from Apple is deliberate and extremely well thought out. As we highlighted not too long ago, Apple’s laser-focused attention to detail in both software and hardware is obsessive.", "But when it comes to the iPhone, Steve Jobs’ crowning creation and the most profitable product to ever come out of Cupertino, Apple takes things to another level. It’s why former Apple executive Scott Forstall once boasted of keeping a \"jeweler’s loupe in his office to check every pixel on every icon.\"", "DON’T MISS: 25 hidden iPhone features that are really, truly hidden", "With that said, one of the more interesting design of the original iPhone was Apple’s decision to use rounded squares for iOS icons, a design that still persists to this day. It was hardly an arbitrary choice: Steve Jobs had been a big fan of shapes with subtle rounded corners for more than 20 years before the iPhone even launched.", "If we go back to the early 80s when Apple was working on the Lisa, Steve Jobs became obsessed with rounded rectangles. In an anecdote originally relayed by Andy Hertzfeld on Folklore, Jobs hounded Apple engineer Bill Atkinson to develop software that could ably create such shapes.. At the time, Atkinson had developed software capable of drawing ovals and circles.", "But something was bothering Steve Jobs. \"Well, circles and ovals are good, but how about drawing rectangles with rounded corners? Can we do that now, too?\" \"No, there’s no way to do that. In fact it would be really hard to do, and I don’t think we really need it\". I think Bill was a little miffed that Steve wasn’t raving over the fast ovals and still wanted more. Steve suddenly got more intense. \"Rectangles with rounded corners are everywhere! Just look around this room!\". And sure enough, there were lots of them, like the whiteboard and some of the desks and tables. Then he pointed out the window. \"And look outside, there’s even more, practically everywhere you look!\". He even persuaded Bill to take a quick walk around the block with him, pointing out every rectangle with rounded corners that he could find.", "With Jobs pestering him at every turn, Atkinson got to work and eventually figured out a way to get his software to render rounded rectangles. As development of the Lisa (and later the Macintosh) continued, Hertzfeld relays that rounded rectangles \"worked their way into various parts of the user interface, and soon became indispensable.\"", "And so, when the iPhone was released more than 25 years later, it wasn’t at all surprising to see that the iOS icons all featured rounded edges. Furthermore, Apple’s penchant for rounded corners is also evident in various apps, such as the chat bubbles in iMessage.", "In contrast, look at how much harsher a chat UI with more pointed corners looks.", "Broadly speaking, design gurus and psychologists have both said that there’s something more soothing and welcoming about rounded corners relative to sharp corners.", "DesignModo points out:", "Sharp corners interrupt thought. To visualize a sharp-cornered shape, the brain processes point A to point B, pauses for a bit and then goes from point B to C, and so forth until it completes the circuit.

[ "It's still hard to believe they did it.\n\n@billbarnwell tries to explain:" ]

[ "Zero-point-two percent. Two in a thousand. The New England Patriots stunned the St. Louis Rams to win the first Super Bowl of the Bill Belichick-Tom Brady era during the 2001 playoffs, but even that upset can't compare to the comeback New England pulled to beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 on Sunday night in Super Bowl LI. The Pats pieced together incredible play with fortuitous bounces and impeccable timing to overcome a Falcons team that had a 99.8 percent shot of claiming its first Super Bowl with 21 minutes to go.", "What happened from then on was nothing short of a miracle. The Patriots needed just about everything to go right and had the vast majority of those moments swing their way. It all blurs together in the aftermath, but let's run through those big plays to piece together how the Patriots got one for the thumb.", "Fourth-and-3, Patriots' 46: Brady completes pass to Danny Amendola for 17 yards. Win expectancy shift: 0.2 percent to 0.5 percent (+0.3 percent)", "The first tiny shift in New England's favor came after the Patriots unsuccessfully pulled out a desperation trick pass from Julian Edelman to Dion Lewis on third down. Turning the ball over on downs probably would have ended the game, given that the Falcons would have taken over on the New England 46-yard line having scored touchdowns on three of their previous four possessions. Instead, Brady hit Amendola on an out route against Falcons cornerback Brian Poole to extend the Patriots' drive. Their win expectancy would come close to 0.3 percent later on, but never quite dip below what it was prior to that completion.", "The Patriots' drive continued with Brady scrambling for 15 yards when the Falcons lost containment on a third-and-8, finishing with Brady finding James White out of the backfield on a snag concept for a 5-yard touchdown to make the score 28-9.", "Two things then went against the Patriots in successive fashion. Stephen Gostkowski promptly booted the ensuing extra point attempt against the upright, leaving the score at 28-9. Given that the Patriots had incorrectly been called for an illegal formation penalty earlier in the game that gave the Falcons a second chance at an extra point, New England had lost two points on conversions. It seemed mostly irrelevant at the time, but it would loom as incredibly important later on.", "Gostkowski followed that by taking an illegal touching penalty on an attempted onside kick, one which the Falcons recovered anyway. Atlanta then had a second-and-1 on the New England 32-yard line.", "Second-and-1, Patriots' 32: Jake Matthews commits holding penalty (10 yards). Win expectancy shift: 0.3 percent to 0.5 percent (+0.2 percent)", "In a sequence that would repeat itself in slightly different order later in the game, a Matthews holding penalty pushed the Falcons out of field goal range. Atlanta could have gone up 22 points with a successful field goal (and would have had a third-and-2 if Matthews hadn't held on this stuffed Tevin Coleman run), but Matt Ryan was sacked on the ensuing third down to force an Atlanta punt from midfield. They got nothing from the excellent field position afforded them by recovering the onside kick try.", "Brady went to work as the game went into the fourth quarter, with the Patriots eventually moving the ball into the red zone. He was sacked twice on three plays by Grady Jarrett, though, leading to a play that sets the scene for the rest of the game.", "Fourth-and-goal, Falcons' 15: Gostkowski kicks 33-yard field goal. Win expectancy shift: 0.3 percent to 0.4 percent (+0.1 percent)", "Settling for three points to make the game 28-12 basically did nothing for New England's win expectancy. The field goal to bring the Patriots within 16 points worked out perfectly in the end, but it set a nearly-impossible target for the Patriots to hit. As tempting as it is to say that the Patriots are making it a two-touchdown game by kicking the field goal, it's really not accurate to lump a 16-point deficit in with, say, a 14-point margin. So much more has to go right for you to win the game. To successfully chase a 16-point target, all of the following has to happen:", "If we assume for simplicity's sake that the chance of converting each of the two-pointers is 50 percent, and the chance of the Patriots winning in overtime is 50 percent, the chances of the Patriots making the two-pointers and then winning in overtime alone reduce their shot to 12.5 percent. That's without even considering how hard it's going to be to score both of those touchdowns while stopping the Falcons from scoring once.", "By definition, that 50 percent two-point rate suggests a 16-point game isn't a two-score contest. We know that each attempt is independent, and given the 50 percent conversion rate, we would expect them to convert one out of two tries and produce a total of two points. The Patriots pulled it out here, but the 2015 Patriots and 2016 Chiefs can remind you of how leaving the game to a late two-point try is far from guaranteed.", "An older version of the win expectancy model developed by ESPN's Brian Burke suggests the Patriots' chances of winning with a touchdown on fourth-and-15 would have leaped to 3.6 percent, producing that 9 percent break-even rate. It's not a perfect parallel, since teams would likely be willing to settle for field goals, but since 2006, teams have converted third-and-goal from the 15-yard line five times in 45 tries. That's a 10.6 percent rate, and it's reasonable to think the Patriots are better than your standard offense. I suspect the numbers leaned narrowly toward going for it, although it would have been a much stronger case had the Patriots managed to pick up a few yards on third down in lieu of taking a sack.", "Having fumbled the ball away during the first half before gifting Robert Alford a pick-six, the Patriots needed to catch a break. They finally got one on the next drive.", "Third-and-1, Falcons' 36: Dont'a Hightower strip-sacks Ryan; Alan Branch recovers. Win expectancy shift: 0.3 percent to 1.8 percent (+1.5 percent)", "Instead of moving the chains on third-and-1 and taking two more minutes off the clock with a fresh set of downs, the Falcons handed the ball back to New England with a short field. Hightower came on a blitz and sped past the middling block attempt of Devonta Freeman, who was inserted into the game after Coleman went down with an injury on the previous play. Freeman looked confused before the snap and seemed to be caught between attempting to block Hightower and releasing into the flat as an outlet receiver, and he ended up doing neither.", "Hightower converged on Ryan along with Chris Long, who had gotten underneath Matthews, to force a fumble as Ryan attempted to release a pass. The Patriots fell on the fumble, which was notable because it was the first fumble of the postseason in a Falcons game that Atlanta had failed to recover, having picked up the previous six.", "Brady was sacked on the first play of the next series by Dwight Freeney, but the Falcons' pass rush got to him just one more time the rest of the way. From that point forward, Brady went 15-of-19 for 170 yards with two touchdowns, the game-tying two-point conversion to Amendola, and the 13-yard pass interference call that set up the game-winning touchdown in overtime.", "Second-and-2, Falcons' 6: Brady hits Amendola for 6-yard touchdown; White converts two-pointer. Win expectancy shift: 2.2 percent to 6.1 percent (+3.9 percent)", "There's still a lot of work to be done, but at 28-20, the Patriots are suddenly in business. Brady found a mismatch with Amendola aligned in the slot against the bigger Jalen Collins and took advantage, getting Amendola on a quick out (with Malcolm Mitchell arguably interfering with the outside corner) for the 6-yard score. As Matt Bowen diagrammed, the Patriots then ran a direct snap to White with a pair of double-teams to set up the first of their two-point conversions.", "Again, though: The Patriots still need a stop, a scoring drive, a two-point conversion, and a win in overtime. They almost failed on the first of those prerequisites when the Patriots blew the coverage on Freeman on a 39-yard checkdown and were then victimized by an absurd Julio Jones catch for 27 yards.", "After Freeman was stuffed on a first-and-10 pitch for a loss of one, the Falcons ran the clock down and had second-and-11 on the New England 23-yard line with 3:56 to go. If the Falcons had simply kneeled twice, they could have kicked what would have been about a 43-yard field goal while presumably costing the Patriots two of their three remaining timeouts. A 43-yard field goal -- which all but ends the game -- is hardly guaranteed, but Matt Bryant is 29-of-31 (93.5 percent) on kicks between 40 and 45 yards over the past five seasons.", "Second-and-11, Patriots' 23: Ryan sacked by Trey Flowers for 12-yard loss. Third-and-23, Patriots' 33: Matthews commits holding penalty (10 yards). Third-and-33, Patriots' 43: Ryan throws incomplete pass. Win expectancy shift: 1.4 percent to 4.9 percent (+3.5 percent)", "Instead, inexplicably, the Falcons chose to pass the ball on second down, on a slow-developing play that ended with Ryan going down for a coverage sack at the hands of Flowers, who slipped between center Alex Mack and right guard Chris Chester. The sack is partly on Ryan, who needed to get the ball out and held onto it for more than four seconds before hitting the turf.", "Ryan is at fault, but so is Atlanta's highly regarded offensive coordinator, Kyle Shanahan. I'm as aggressive as anybody when it comes to suggesting that coaches try to get their kickers in better field goal range in lieu of settling for 50-plus-yard field goal tries, but if there was ever a situation that called for conservatism given the game situation, it was this one. Shanahan admitted after the game that he couldn't remember the playcalling decisions he made at this point of the game, conflating the ensuing plays with the sack, which is fair. It seems the entire Falcons team blacked out right around this point of the game.", "The situation was still salvageable given that the Falcons were in line for a 51-yard field goal and had a play to try to pick up extra yardage while burning more time, but Matthews made a bad situation worse by committing yet another crucial holding penalty, wrapping his arms around Long's neck to push the Falcons out of field goal range. The Pats held up in coverage on third down and forced a punt. New England had two plays to either force a turnover or push the Falcons back 20 yards to get out of field goal range and managed to do the latter.", "After Brady beat a Falcons blitz on third-and-10 for a 16-yard completion to Hogan, the drive was off and running. You'll probably be seeing its most notable play for a while ...", "First-and-10, Patriots' 36: Brady completes 23-yard pass to Edelman. Win expectancy shift: 6..1 percent to 8.7 percent (+2.6 percent)", "Of course, no win expectancy model is going to know what Edelman had to do to bring in the greatest catch he'll ever make. Brady made the curious decision to throw into double coverage, with Alford trailing Edelman and Keanu Neal playing over the top on that side. His throw wasn't perfect, giving Alford a chance to pick the ball off. Instead, Alford tipped the ball into the air and somehow gave Edelman a chance to bring it in on a double-clutch. I've watched the play 20 times and I'm still convinced Edelman's going to drop the ball each time I watch it.", "I'm of two minds regarding Dan Quinn's challenge after the catch. Ideally, Quinn would have let the clock run to the two-minute warning and spent the break watching replays before deciding to use his final timeout on a challenge. The television feed of the game doesn't make it clear whether the Patriots would have been able to run a play before the two-minute warning, although it was very clear that the Patriots were sprinting to the line in the hopes of running a play before Quinn could get a good look. (The coaches tape of the game will not be available until midweek.)", "The play was obviously close, and it was literally Quinn's last chance to use a challenge. Twenty-three yards isn't an enormous swing of field position, but the Pats would have been in second-and-10. Quinn's challenge stopped the clock before the two-minute warning, and the Pats used the extra play to complete a deep crossing route to Amendola for 20 more yards versus Poole. That would push the Patriots up into double digits at 13.2 percent. Three plays later, on the Atlanta 1-yard line, the Pats punched the ball in.", "Second-and-goal, Falcons' 1: White rushes for 1-yard touchdown; Amendola converts two-pointer. Win expectancy shift: 21.2 percent to 53.0 percent (+31.8 percent)", "There's the big leap. The Patriots, who were 55.7 percent favorites to win as of the opening kickoff, are favored again to prevail for the first time since LeGarrette Blount's fumble on the second play of the second quarter. If it felt like the Patriots were destined to win in overtime, I won't blame you, but I'll also remind you of last year's Packers-Cardinals playoff game, when Aaron Rodgers converted two Hail Mary passes to tie the game up just before overtime and never touched the ball again. You may also remember Super Bowl XXXVI, when the Rams tied the score with 1:13 left and the Patriots drove 53 yards with no timeouts (against the advice of John Madden) to set up Adam Vinatieri's game-winning field goal.", "Atlanta still might have been able to muster a drive to at least attempt a game-winning field goal. The Patriots helped out by making a strategic mistake and snapping the ball with 21 seconds to go on the game clock during the White touchdown. It's not necessarily a good idea to run the play clock down to one second left before snapping the ball, but Brady should have shaved another 10-12 seconds off the clock before the snap. The argument that the Patriots needed to conserve time in case of a failed two-point conversion doesn't really hold water; if the Patriots failed, they were going to be stuck attempting an expected onside kick to try to get one final possession. The chances of recovering that onside kick are likely lower than the chances of giving up a meaningful drive to the Falcons with a minute left on the clock.", "Instead, fortunately for the Patriots, Atlanta's drive started on the 11-yard line and sputtered out after 16 yards. New England then hoped to set up for a game-winning fair catch free kick, but Matt Bosher's punt was too far to feasibly attempt one. The Pats then sent Lewis out to run a meaningless draw with three seconds left, with Lewis suffering a game-ending hamstring injury on the play.", "Second-and-13, Falcons' 40: Brady hits Edelman for 15 yards. Win expectancy shift: 58.5 percent to 75.5 percent (+17.0 percent)", "The biggest play of New England's lone drive in overtime turned a difficult second-and-13 into a first down, putting the Patriots in field goal range and on the edge of the red zone. The Patriots went five-wide, and the Falcons responded by showing pre-snap pressure before dropping into a Cover 1 Robber look, with one deep safety and the impressive Deion Jones lurking in the middle of the field to take away drag routes. The Patriots went back to an impeccably timed combination of crossing routes, which the Falcons had been able to knock away during the fourth quarter. This time, though, the timing was excellent to create a subtle rub downfield, and Brady's throw was right on the money. Four plays later, the Patriots were champions.", "Those are the plays that led the Patriots to their stunning Super Bowl victory, but what was changing in the broader matchup of the game that allowed the Patriots to come back? How could the Falcons allow Brady & Co. to score the final 31 points of the game after going up 28-3 halfway through the third quarter? Let's run through the ways the Patriots improved and the Falcons declined as the game went along, starting with one critical component ...", "The Atlanta pass rush disappeared. I wrote in my Super Bowl preview that the game would turn on whether the Falcons would be able to get pass pressure on Brady. I was right about that, but I was wrong about whether the Falcons would be able to pester the future Hall of Famer. Quinn's defense spent most of the day in Brady's face, and it did so without blitzing. Atlanta sent an extra man on just 7.4 percent of Brady's dropbacks but was able to get plenty of pressure with its front four. Through the first three quarters, Atlanta pressured Brady on 44.7 percent of his dropbacks.", "As was the case in both of New England's Super Bowl losses to the Giants, much of that pressure came up the middle. Defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, who had all of three sacks during the regular season, came up with three sacks of Brady in the Super Bowl alone, tying the championship game record. Jarrett and his teammates abused Patriots right guard Shaq Mason, who had a dismal night in pass protection. NFL sack leader Vic Beasley had a mostly quiet night, finishing with a lone knockdown of Brady and a pass breakup on a fade to Martellus Bennett on the penultimate play of the game, which was apparently Josh McDaniels' ode to Darrell Bevell.", "As the game went along, though, the plays simply began to add up. Atlanta's defense faced nearly twice as many snaps as New England's; the 93-47 disparity between the two was the largest gap in NFL playoff history, per the Elias Sports Bureau. Those 93 offensive plays represent the second most a team has faced in playoff history (behind only the Jets, who faced 96 against the Browns in a game that went into double-overtime in January 1987).", "By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, Atlanta's pass rush was gassed. During the fourth quarter and overtime, its pressure rate on Brady fell from 44.7 percent down to 20.0 percent, including an O-fer on Brady's six pass attempts during the extra period. Unsurprisingly, once the pass pressure went away, Brady picked the Falcons apart. He finished the day with a 64.1 passer rating under duress and a 107.0 mark when avoiding pressure.", "The Patriots successfully attacked the weaker links in the Atlanta secondary. Again, this shouldn't have been news given the expectations coming into the game, but the Falcons were able to hold up with relatively anonymous defensive backs making plays during the first half. Deji Olatoye and C.J. Goodwin played a combined 18 defensive snaps during the first two rounds of the playoffs, but with the Falcons playing more two-deep coverage at first glance and the Patriots using more three- and four-wideout sets, the Falcons rotated their backup defensive backs into the game for a combined 47 snaps. Goodwin, in particular, made his mark in the first half by knocking away a fade route to Mitchell out of the slot and tackling White in the open field on third down to end a drive.", "As the game wore on, though, the Patriots began to take advantage of mismatches in the secondary. They matched up Mitchell against Goodwin for critical conversions during the comeback, including a third-and-11 pickup in the fourth quarter to extend the drive. Combinations of curl routes are a great way to beat Cover 3, and Mitchell went after both Goodwin and the larger Collins, who had trouble in space against New England's speedier wideouts. Poole also had trouble with Amendola, who had eight catches for 78 yards and a touchdown in what might have been his final game as a member of the organization.", "They also found mismatches for White, who caught a Super Bowl-record 14 passes in much the same way that Shane Vereen took over at times against Quinn's Seattle defense during Super Bowl XLIX. White became a coverage problem for Deion Jones and De'Vondre Campbell, much as he was frustrating against Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright versus the Seahawks.", "They took Blount out of the game for White. Blount seemed like a logical fit to play a big role in this contest, given how the Falcons had the league's fourth-worst run defense during the regular season and are built around speed as opposed to strength, but it didn't work out. Blount dragged down the Patriots' offense in the first half, carrying the ball eight times for just 16 yards, including a third-and-1 stuff and a lost fumble.", "The Pats trotted him out for three consecutive runs late in the third quarter, but otherwise, he was basically left on the bench as New England launched its comeback. He finished the game taking just 17 offensive snaps, while White finished with 71 snaps.. To put that in context, no Patriots running back had suited up for more than 48 offensive plays in a game this year. ESPN has player participation data going back through 2007, and the only Belichick running back to top White's 71 snaps over that time frame was Danny Woodhead, who took 73 snaps during a 41-35 thriller against the 49ers in 2012.", "Brady's receivers stopped dropping passes. I don't think Brady would characterize this as his sharpest game, as he missed a number of receivers downfield, notably a streaking Edelman on a wheel route. He also didn't get a ton of help early on. Brady's receivers dropped three of his 35 passes through the first three quarters (an 8.6 percent clip), and there were a number of 50-50 passes his wideouts failed to bring in. (Ryan's receivers, in comparison, didn't drop any of his 23 pass attempts.) The Patriots' wideouts repeatedly struggled on a route they clearly wanted to target in man coverage, the wheel/fade out of the slot.", "Bennett caught a 25-yard pass over Neal on that very route in the fourth quarter, though, and the Pats went back to it with Bennett in overtime for the pass interference penalty that set up the game-winning score. Brady's receivers stepped up their concentration and made every catch count; they didn't drop a single one of Brady's 27 pass attempts during the fourth quarter and overtime.", "The Patriots sent extra men at Ryan. The 2016 MVP dropped back 10 times during the first half, and while he was sacked twice, the other eight plays produced seven receptions for 115 yards, a touchdown and a perfect passer rating of 158.3. The Patriots blitzed just once on those 10 dropbacks for a 10 percent blitz rate. During the second half, the Pats brought in Elandon Roberts for Shea McClellin in their nickel package and blitzed far more frequently. This was also just a 17-dropback sample, but the Patriots blitzed Ryan 41.2 percent of the time and sacked him on three of those opportunities. Ryan still posted a 126.8 passer rating, but because QBR accounts for sacks, his QBR fell from 91.5 in the first half to 62.0 afterward.", "Ryan's tackles were not a source of strength, particularly Matthews, who was a liability in pass protection far too frequently Sunday and committed those two critical holding penalties. Right tackle Ryan Schraeder was fine before leaving with an injury, but then the Falcons bought in Tom Compton, whom the Patriots immediately targeted with a defensive line game on that ridiculous 27-yard catch by Julio Jones. Behind the league's healthiest offensive line, Compton had been needed for only 69 offensive snaps during the regular season. The pressure prevented the Falcons from throwing more passes to Jones, who finished with four catches on a mere four targets for 87 yards.", "The Atlanta running game sputtered. The biggest surprise of the game for me early on was that the Falcons had tons of success moving the ball on the ground against the league's fourth-ranked rushing defense per DVOA. Shanahan dialed up the crack toss play against New England in man coverage early on in the contest and had plenty of success, including a 37-yard run by Freeman. He and Coleman combined for 86 yards on nine carries during the first 30 minutes.", "Afterward, though, the Patriots adjusted. They again faced nine rushing attempts during the second half, but this time, those runs generated a total of only 18 yards. Five of them went for no gain or a loss.", "The Falcons didn't manage the clock well. While the Falcons couldn't have known that New England would make its miraculous comeback, they helped the Patriots by leaving time on the clock in the fourth quarter and snapping early in the play clock. After the 39-yard checkdown to a wide-open Freeman gave Atlanta first-and-10 at their own 49-yard line with 5:39 to go, Ryan snapped the ball with 20 seconds left on the play clock and handed the ball off for a loss of 1. The next play, the 27-yard deep out to Jones, was snapped with 13 seconds left on the clock. The Falcons did wind the play clock down inside five seconds on their next opportunity after a Freeman stuff, but that was their last chance to run clock on offense all game.", "Quinn also didn't get much value for his timeouts. Atlanta had to use one timeout early in the third quarter when they were struggling to line up on defense before a third-and-long. A second timeout came after the first Matthews holding penalty toward the end of the third quarter on second-and-11, while the final timeout flew off the shelves when Quinn challenged the ridiculous Edelman catch. If Ryan hits that final drive with a minute and two timeouts, the playcalling would have been fundamentally different.", "Gostkowski was a monster on kickoffs. While Gostkowski missed yet another extra point in what has been an uneven season for New England's star kicker on scoring plays, he has retained much of his effectiveness on kickoffs and created valuable field position for the Patriots' defense in Sunday's second half. Gostkowski didn't kick off until the final play of the first half, and that was a squib kick. He subsequently attempted both an onside kick and a deliberately short pop-up kick on two of his five kickoff attempts during the second half.", "His other three kickoffs, though, each pinned the Falcons inside of their own 20-yard line. One was returned to the Falcons' 19-yard line, but the two truly great kicks came on Gostkowski's final two kickoffs of the game. The first, with the Patriots down 28-20, was booted to the 3-yard line with enough hang time for the coverage units to pin down Justin Hardy and limit him to a 7-yard return, starting Atlanta on the 10-yard line. Given that the Falcons finished the drive a few desperate yards away from what would have been game-sealing field goal range, Gostkowski's kickoff might have helped save the season. After the Patriots tied the score, Gostkowski delivered a similarly effective kickoff to the goal line, which Eric Weems returned to his own 11-yard line to start a disappointingly short possession.", "The Atlanta offense couldn't stay on the field.. More than anything, though, the Falcons blew their lead because they couldn't come through with conversions on third down. They had picked up 64.0 percent of their third downs in the playoffs heading into the Super Bowl, but went just 1-for-8 on Sunday, with a second conversion coming on a ninth third down via penalty.", "Every third-down failure is bad for an offense, but these breakdowns were both wildly frustrating and eventually very meaningful. Ryan was sacked four times on third down, including on third-and-3 and third-and-5 to end Atlanta's first two possessions. The Hightower strip-sack came on a third-and-1. He also took a sack on third-and-11 from the Patriots' 42-yard line on a play where a completion, even if it were short of the sticks, might have created an opportunity for a long field goal. Nobody expected Ryan to convert third-and-33 from the Patriots' 45-yard line in the fourth quarter, but he failed to complete a pass that might have set up Bryant for a field goal or even forced the Patriots into using one of their two remaining timeouts.", "Atlanta's two third-down conversions resulted in touchdowns. One was a touchdown itself, when the Falcons isolated tight end Austin Hooper against Patrick Chung on consecutive plays. The other was a pass interference call in the red zone on Malcolm Butler that set up a touchdown for Coleman on a pick play the following snap.", "It's still hard to believe the Falcons actually lost this game. They're the first team in Super Bowl history to lose with a pick-six in its pocket, one that felt like an unlikely gift given that it came from Brady. Some will throw around the \"choker\" label, which is inelegant at best and condescendingly incurious at worst. If choking means running after a quarterback on 68 dropbacks until there's hardly any air left in your lungs, the Falcons choked.", "Instead, it's fairer to say the Falcons never shut the door. They had several chances to finish this game off and never really took advantage of any of them, leaving a tiny opening that most teams wouldn't have been able to exploit. Even the Patriots, as good as they are, needed fortuitous timing with penalties and turnovers plus one of the all-time legendary catches in football history from Edelman to stay within range.", "Atlanta should be proud of what it has accomplished this season and what it did in the Super Bowl. It's what the Falcons didn't do that will be keeping everyone in the organization up late at night for weeks to come. They gave Tom Brady and Bill Belichick a chance to kick their door down, and yet again, the two future Hall of Famers produced a late drive to come away with a Super Bowl victory." ]

[ "The ‘Right’ Age to Get Married" ]

[ "Research shows a \"sweet spot\" for marriage — but should we believe it?", "Go to college. Get your career established. Date around. Find out what you’re looking for in a life partner. Wait to get married.", "too long. He found that likelihood of divorce is lowest when you get hitched between the ages of 28 and 32. That’s been the prevailing logic when it comes to minimizing your odds of divorce for some time now. But in a study released last month, University of Utah researcher Nicholas Wolfinger, PhD, asserts there is actually an optimal age range for lasting marriage — and you shouldn’t waitlong. He found that likelihood of divorce is lowest when you get hitched between the ages of 28 and 32.", "Wolfinger, an adjunct professor of sociology at the university, had previously found a U-shaped relationship between age at marriage and likelihood of divorce by looking at data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) back in 2006 to 2010. The NSFG polled more 22,000 men and women aged 15 to 44 on topics ranging from factors determining marriage and divorce, to attitudes about sex and pregnancy.", "Ever the good researcher, Wolfinger wanted to see if he could replicate those initial findings by pulling additional NSFG stats from 2011 to 2013. He got nearly identical information: Age 28 through 32 is the sweet spot for marriage — get married before or after that, and risk of splitting from a spouse increases.", "\"The odds of divorce decline as you age from your teenage years through your late twenties and early thirties,\" Wolfinger writes. \"Thereafter, the chances of divorce go up again as you move into your late thirties and early forties.\" After age 32, divorce risk climbs about 5 percent each year.", "But not so fast. Wolfinger’s findings are something to consider, sure — but they’re not a reason to freak out.", "There have been some naysayers of the findings, notably Phillip Cohen, a sociologist at the University of Maryland. He has found a slightly older \"perfect marriage\" age range, using different data than Wolfinger. He found there’s, ultimately, no reason to worry if you get married later on. Cohen’s stats were from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, sent out to 295,000 American households per month to collect ongoing data on social, economic, and housing characteristics of individual communities.", "the first five years after marriage, says psychologist And here’s another very important thing to point out about Wolfinger’s study: It only looks at divorce during, says psychologist Karla Ivankovich, an adjunct professor at the University of Illinois at Springfield. Ideally, a marriage is going to last longer than half a decade. \"So there is still possibility of divorce, just not in the time frame identified within the study,\" she tells Yahoo Health.", "In a way, that 28-to-32 demographic does make sense. By that age, you know a lot more about who you are, what you want out of life, and what you want in a life partner, than you did in your early 20s.", "ideal to get married in between 25 to 34 years of age,\" she tells Yahoo Health. Interestingly, Marisa T. Cohen, an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at St. Francis College and co-founder of the Self-Awareness and Bonding Lab , has polled the masses on this very subject: What’s the best age to get married? She found daters are pretty in sync with Wolfinger’s findings: After examining opinions from 773 people, \"an overwhelming majority — 83.7 percent — felt that it isto get married in between 25 to 34 years of age,\" she tells Yahoo Health.", "But even though getting married in this age range is something we say we want, that doesn’t mean this is the time all of us are universally ready for marriage, she caveats. \"You need to be committed in order to make a marriage work. Some of the causes of divorce, besides infidelity, are lack of communication, being incompatible partners, and growing apart,\" Cohen notes. \"Basically, if you don’t know who you are as a person, you won’t be a good partner.\"", "Instead of focusing on age as the decider of when to get married, we should instead focus on social environments and life experiences — and growing out of that \"emerging adulthood\" phase, which generally rolls through our post-grad, mid-20s years — to determine when marriage is appropriate." ]

[ "How Elizabeth Warren's own book makes the case she should run for president" ]

[ "WASHINGTON -- Sen. Elizabeth Warren is adamant that she is not seeking to move up to the White House.", "\"I am not running for president,\" the Massachusetts Democrat told The Huffington Post, as she has told many others. \"You can ask that question any way you want, but you're going to get the same answer.\"", "That's not exactly the question HuffPost was asking, though. The question was why readers of her new memoir and political treatise, A Fighting Chance, shouldn't take from it a very powerful argument for why Warren should run.", "All through the book, despite her Shermanesque declarations of non-intent, can be found passages that suggest the logical next step for the middle-class girl from Oklahoma who grew into a champion for social justice is to seek the office where she could have the greatest impact.", "Indeed, the argument for why she should attempt to go beyond even her unlikely ascension to the U.S. Senate two years ago begins on Page 2 of her book..", "\"I am determined -- fiercely determined -- to do everything I can to help us once again be the America that creates opportunities for anyone who works hard and plays by the rules. An America of accountability and fair play. An America that builds a future for not just some of our children but for all of our children. An America where everyone gets what I got: a fighting chance,\" Warren writes.", "Perhaps Warren does not think that climbing onto the high-profile platform of a presidential bid lands in the category of doing \"everything I can.\" But her book also shows how often in her public career she looked at the lay of the land and said no, or at least hesitated. She often had to be convinced.", "When former Rep. Mike Synar (D-Okla.) asked Warren to join the National Bankruptcy Review Commission in 1995, she balked at first, but was then convinced by the opportunity to improve the laws in concrete ways. Not long after, Synar died, and the goal all but died with him.", "President Bill Clinton appointed a lawyer named Brady Williamson to continue the work.", "\"When Brady called, I was blunt: Mike and I had a deal, but that was then. Mike is gone, and I'm out of here,\" Warren recounts in her book.", "Williamson responded that ordinary bankrupt Americans had no political clout, that banks would make a bad situation worse if they dictated the commission's work, and that even though Warren couldn't make the reforms she had initially hoped, every day that they at least preserved the best aspects of the old laws was a day that some 5,000 people could use them to get a fresh start.", "\"Lord this was discouraging,\" Warren writes of their conversation. \"But I signed on, and we started stacking sandbags as quick as we could. Maybe we'd lose in the end, but every day we held on was a better day for struggling families.\"", "Helping people trumped her distaste for the project. It was a similar situation when President Barack Obama asked her to establish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He wanted her to set it up, but -- for political reasons -- not to lead it.", "She told him no at first, fearing she wouldn't have the authority to build the agency that she thought was needed. Obama pleaded for her to trust him before she finally decided she would do it.", "And when Democrats wanted her to run for the Senate seat in Massachusetts, she writes, \"I really didn't want to run. I'd had enough of Washington.\" Her family was telling her, \"We love you and we don't want to see you hurt. Please stay out.\"", "But she thought about what a senator could accomplish:", "[T]here was so much at stake in this election. I'd spent nearly twenty years fighting to level the playing field for the middle class, and I'd seen millions of working families go over the economic cliff -- and it was getting worse. What kind of country would my grandchildren grow up in? What if the conservatives and the big banks and the big-time CEOs got their way, and Washington kept helping the rich and powerful to get richer and more powerful? Could I really stand on the sidelines and stay out of this fight?", "So she dipped her toe in the water, visiting small gatherings around the Bay State, until she met a woman who had walked miles to meet her. Warren writes that she decided to run after she was moved by this woman's tale. The woman declared, \"I don't care how hard it gets, I want to know that you are going to fight.\"", "In her book, Warren, who used to teach Sunday school, suggests that she has an almost religious calling to fight the good fight. She explains how she's inspired by the words of the King James Bible and how she offered their wisdom in a visit to a church.", "\"I stood up, and I talked about my favorite Bible verse, Matthew 25:40,\" she writes. \"I told people what it meant to me. It's message was very simple: The Lord calls us to action. It's what we do that matters most.\"", "Her takeaway from defeating Republican Sen. Scott Brown in 2012 has a similar tone.", "\"What is the lesson of that day? When we fight, we can win. And when we get really fired up and fight shoulder to shoulder, we can do some pretty amazing things,\" she writes. \"Some say the rich and powerful now control Washington and always will. I say this battle isn't over yet. True, the playing field isn't level and the system is rigged. But we're putting up a heck of a fight, and we intend to keep on fighting.\"", "If such comments -- found throughout the book -- don't make an argument for Warren to try for the White House, here are the final two paragraphs:", "No one is asking for a handout. All we want is a country where everyone pays a fair share, a country where we build opportunities for all of us, a country where everyone plays by the same rules and everyone is held accountable. And we have begun to fight for it. I believe in us. I believe in what we can do together, in what we will do together. All we need is a fighting chance.", "Warren can probably count on hearing those words come back to her many times over the coming months.", "Michael McAuliff covers Congress and politics for The Huffington Post. Talk to him on Facebook." ]

Are you? Could you? If you want perfect equality. I don’t like to see women punching each other in the chest. I don’t like it. I think it will cause irreparable damage. They talk about footballers heading balls, but punching each other in the breasts for six minutes doesn’t seem a sensible thing to do. There’s certain things that women do that we can’t do, as far as I’m concerned.\"", "Alliss further defended his rep by telling Newsweek, \"Those are my views. I think women are more delicate than men. I like holding chairs for women. I enjoy the company of women. I don’t want to be bullied by them. I don’t care for macho women, I don’t care for them very much. And yet they’re prevalent today, and very prevalent in some cases. And very forward.\"", "Sexism has always plagued the sport of golf. As ESPN points out, it was not until 2012 that Augusta National allowed female members to join, and Burning Tree Golf Club in Maryland only recently allowed women into the clubhouse \"to shop for Christmas gifts for their husbands by appointment only.\"", "Criticism doesn’t seem to bother Alliss, who remarked to Newsweek that 2017 could be his last year on the job.

[ "If you’ve ever perused Instagram for smoothie bowls, you may have noticed a new trend in this beautiful and healthy mania: blue. Not the usual pink of berry-filled smoothies, or the purple hue of blueberries. No, not even green (thanks to the addition of spirulina), but BLUE smoothie bowls.", "Feasting on Fruit Blue smoothie.", "Blue is not a color we often eat ― as candy, maybe, but definitely not when it’s supposed to be good for us. What does that mean for smoothie bowls? Are they getting pumped with chemical food coloring just so they look colorful?", "We looked into this phenomena and are happy to report that blue smoothies are 100 percent natural ― made with homemade food dye ―and still totally good for us. They are, however, made with red cabbage. The color comes from a homemade dye cooked down from red cabbages.", "To make this all-natural dye, a head of chopped cabbage is boiled for roughly 20 minutes. The cabbage is discarded, and the reserved liquid is cooked down for another hour. The resulting thick liquid is mixed with baking soda (in increments of 1/8 teaspoon at a time) until it turns into a brilliant shade of blue. Then the natural dye is used to turn our food into a beautiful shade of blue." ]

But now we have Wal-Mart joining the party..", "If you’re someone who doesn’t taste (or care about) the difference between a $10 drop of red from the Bottle-O’s bargain barrel and an $800 bottle of Grange, then we have some good news for you.

[ "65-year-old model explains secret to aging naturally" ]

[ "One look at Linda Rodin, and it's easy to see why Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen cast her as a model in their recent ad campaign for The Row. The 65-year-old skincare guru is wearing her signature bright pink lipstick and oversized eyeglasses. Her white hair is tied into a simple low ponytail. She radiates \"chic\" in an all-black ensemble, but nothing about her reads overly classic or stuffy -- she's undeniably contemporary.", "As she should be. Rodin started her eponymous skincare line in 2008 after a long career in the fashion industry, enjoying a brief stint as a model in the '60s and a successful tenure as a stylist for the likes of Harper's Bazaar, Gisele Bundchen and Madonna. \"It's funny to think that people want to take my photograph -- why didn't they want to take it when I had no wrinkles?\" she joked when we met in New York recently.", "But Rodin's certainly grateful for the opportunity to model, especially when it involves working with the Olsens. \"I knew they respected me and they knew I wasn't going to show up... young,\" she said. Response to the campaign has been overwhelmingly positive, indicating that perhaps the industry is ready to accept images of models above the age of 20... at least if the Olsens say so. Rodin explained: \"I think that was what was so interesting: If those two girls find this amazing, when they're on the cutting edge of everything, there must be something to it.\"", "It would appear there is. More and more magazines and brands, like Marks & Spencer and TK Maxx in the UK, are enlisting mature women to star in photoshoots. Some models, like Sarah Wiley, are even scouted after they turn 50. There is a \"whole gang of us roaming around,\" Wiley, 66, told Stella Magazine last month. That \"gang\" includes 85-year-old Daphne Selfe, 81-year-old Jenni Rhodes and 82-year-old Carmen Dell'Orefice, who's been working steadily as a model since the age of 15.", "As for Rodin, she had a full-page feature in American Vogue in August 2011, and she also posed for upcoming issues of Dutch magazine Rikka and Canadian magazine Fashion. But the last time she had seriously modeled was in the late '60s while living in Italy to study Italian. It was only in 2012, when J.Crew asked Rodin to model in its fall catalogue, that she came back in front of the camera. \"I always feel like they're using me as not just a model, but someone with something going on,\" she said. \"I'm not just an old lady who they think looks cute in clothes.\"", "It's easy to make the argument that a brand's choice to cast an older model is shtick, especially when many models are actually under the legal drinking age (and those who aren't are altered to look that way via Photoshop). \"I think the whole culture's screwed up,\" Rodin said, noting the irony. \"They retouch 20-year-olds. I work with them, and I see the pictures, and I know that they've retouched this and that and that and this. I just go, 'She doesn't even have any wrinkles!'\"", "Fortunately, Rodin hasn't succumbed to the pressure to look younger unnaturally (though she experimented with fillers and Botox briefly). She's never dyed her hair, which went gray in her mid-30s, and she has never even considered getting a facelift. (\"Aren't we curious to see how we'd grow up?\") Instead, she's established a simple beauty regimen using only her own products (\"I've got my own little universe\"), and she claims she owes her glowing complexion to her namesake brand's enormously popular face oil, Olio Lusso.", "\"I first made it in my bathroom,\" she says, by simply mixing essential oils purchased at a health food store together in a teacup until she created the perfect concoction for her skin. Rodin began handing out small vials of the oil to models, photographers and celebrities on the photo shoots she styled. Before she knew it, Gwyneth Paltrow and Liv Tyler were vocal fans, and a cult following ensued.", "\"It makes your skin radiate naturally,\" she said. \"It's not going to take away wrinkles. There's no miracle cream -- if there was, we'd all have it.\"", "So rather than harp on the fine lines and freckles that come with aging naturally, Rodin's chosen to focus on looking the best she can while being healthy. \"I'm never going to look younger; it's a folly,\" she said. \"At the end of the day, I'm not going to fix anything, so I might as well embrace it.\"", "Considering all of the top-tier modeling gigs she's booking, that strategy seems to be working well for Rodin. As of now, she's having fun modeling and focusing on the product launches set for her brand this year, which include a powder face wash and a fragrance inspired by her mother.. With this level of energy, it's no wonder the woman is helping to set the bar for longevity in the fashion, beauty and modeling worlds. But the wisdom and perspective she's gained have only come with age.", "\"I remember when I was 24 saying to somebody, 'You know, I'm really getting up there -- I'm 24!' I was embarrassed by how old I was. Can you believe that? 24 and you're making excuses? What was I thinking?\" she said. \" And now, I want to be 90. I want to be old and healthy.\"" ]

It turns out it’s not actually a kitchen table for ants.", "This device is called a pizza saver, and it’s been protecting your precious pizza for over 30 years.", "Delivery pizza has been coming in cheap cardboard boxes since the dawn of time. These boxes are great for many reasons ― they’re inexpensive and easily recyclable ― but the thin cardboard lid does tend to sag. And if the center of the lid is depressed enough to make contact with the pizza within, all hell breaks loose. The cheese is ripped off the pizza and sticks to the top of the box.", "According to Gizmodo, a Long Island woman named Carmela Vitale recognized this problem back in the 1980s, and set about inventing a fix. Vitale came up with designs for the pizza saver, or as she called it, a \"package saver,\" in 1983. Vitale submitted a patent request for the design that year, and her patent was approved in 1985.", "While not every pizza delivery company uses them and they currently sell for less than one cent apiece, Eater estimates that a single manufacturer of pizza savers could be raking in as much as $8 million per year because of the high volume of pizza sales. Unfortunately, it appears that Vitale never manufactured pizza savers herself, Eater reports: She let her patent lapse in 1993, and she passed away in 2005.", "The next time you crack open your pizza box, thank Vitale and her pizza saver for keeping your cheesy slice of heaven intact." ]

[ "In 15 Years, The 9-5 Workday Will Be A Thing Of The Past. Here's Why." ]

[ "As millennials begin to join the work force in larger and larger numbers, the values that they hold will cease to be novel requests and will quite simply become the way of doing things. And one of the things to go will be the ubiquity of the 9-5 workday. Long a tenet of most any professional job, advancements in technology, and a cultural breach from traditional work values have made for a generation of workers that hold flexible work schedules near and dear to their hearts.", "According to this study by Bentley University, 77% of millennials believe that a flexible work schedule will make their workday more productive, and that says nothing about the personal values that a flexible workday serves better than the static 9-5 schedule..", "To that end, a flexible schedule better accommodates work-family balance that millennials have shown to value more than previous generations. Getting kids to school and even picking them up means that hours would need to be made up either earlier in the morning or later at night, which means not only will work hours change, but telecommuting will become a standard practice in even the most traditional industries.", "Millennials have also proven to value continuing education and new career experiences more than those before them. Two years ago, corporate training grew by 15%, and that number is likely to continue to rise as workers seek a more diverse array of responsibilities and opportunities. More of the 9-5 workday could be consumed with programs like these, leaving many work tasks to be done outside of those hours.", "Offices are expensive. And increasingly less essential. Rented spaces housing data analysts or sales people with low degrees of interaction with other internal groups is a luxury that many companies are dispensing with. By 2030, it’s imagined that most (yes, MOST) employees will work at home with superfast data connections, allowing for video conferencing, desktop sharing, and collaboration the likes of which we’re just beginning to see. The notion of \"office hours\" becomes quaint when there’s no office to speak of.", "If those three reasons don’t serve as a tipping point, then it’s extremely likely that the fourth will. Those 77% of millennials were right. Flexible work hours DO make employees more productive. Removing the time spent traveling to the office and the distractions that the group dynamic provides made tele-commuting workers 13% more productive in one study of a Chinese firm.", "Of course, all the data and studies in the world won’t convince managers the same way observed results do, but as these practices get rolled out incrementally, there will be plenty of practical data points for companies to draw from, which in turn will create a level of trust that sees the traditional 9-5 workday become the exception, not the rule." ]

In that infamous Washington game, Giants’ quarterbacks Tom Kennedy and Gary Wood combined for three touchdown passes longer than 80 yards, but they also threw five interceptions, the difference. Sonny Jurgenson, Washington’s QB, had three TD passes and zero picks.", "Brook Lopez, Courtney Lee and Yi Jianlian suffering through 2009-10 Nets’ disaster. (BRENT SMITH/Reuters)", "7. The 2009-2010 New Jersey Nets, 12-70. The Nets’ early season was historically bad. They dropped their first 18 games, before Brook Lopez finally scored 31 points with 14 rebounds to beat Charlotte. They lost 28 of their first 30; 40 of their first 42; 46 of their first 50.", "The Nets went through three coaches this season: Lawrence Frank, Tom Barrise and Kiki Vandeweghe. Vandeweghe, who had reluctantly assumed the coaching post in addition to his role as GM, was fired when the season ended — while he was talking to a local sports radio station about the team’s future.", "Salt in the wound: The Nets lost the lottery and a chance to draft John Wall. With the third pick, the Nets chose Derrick Favors, who averaged 6.3 points per game the next season.", "The 1943-44 Rangers.", "6. The 1943-44 Rangers, 6-39-5. The Rangers had been a league powerhouse until they were decimated by the war-time draft, more so than other NHL teams. Things got so desperate that Hall of Famer and coach Frank Boucher came out of retirement at age 42 to play in 15 games.", "These Rangers started the season 0-14-1. They were 0-for-October, November, February, March and April. In fact, they only won games in December and January.. The worst loss, though, was a 15-0 defeat in Detroit on Jan. 23, 1944.", "Goalie Ken McAuley, a former truant officer from Saskatchewan, made 43 saves in that game, while the Rangers managed only nine shots on goal. The score might have been 16-0, but yet another Red Wings’ goal was ruled to have been scored just after the final horn sounded. Ten different players scored for Detroit. The Rangers finished in last place, 26 points behind Boston.", "Jets fans asking for quick end to 1996 catastrophe. (Albans, Mike)", "5. The 1996 Jets, 1-15. Leon Hess had shown a typical lack of insight, firing Pete Carroll after just one season in 1994 and hiring Rich Kotite, who was coming off a seven-game losing streak with the Eagles.", "Kotite’s first season in 1995 with the Jets already had been very bad, a last-place finish with a 3-13 record. His organizational skills seemed to be limited to lining up his players in numerical order for the national anthem. After that disappointing year, the team cut Boomer Esiason, signed Super Bowl quarterback Neil O’Donnell and spent $70 million on draft and free-agent signings.", "O’Donnell was a bust, then was knocked out for the season with a shoulder injury and replaced by Frank Reich. The Jets dropped their first eight games — many of them surprisingly close, somehow beat Arizona, and then went right back to losing. From Nov. 24 to Dec. 8, they were beaten by 25, 25 and 24 points. When the season ended, Kotite resigned and Bill Parcells came to the rescue.", "Mike Jarvis’ scandalous season at St. John’s in 2003-04. (Tracy, John, Freelance/Tracy, John, Freelance)", "4. The 2003-04 St. John’s basketball team, 6-21 (which became 2-21). This is your No. 1, feel-bad team on this list, representing rock bottom for the university’s basketball program. Not only was the Red Storm season very bad, it was scandalous. After a February loss in Pittsburgh, six players reportedly went to Club Erotica, a suburban strip club, and brought back a woman patron to their hotel. She untruthfully claimed rape, as proved by a tape the players produced in which she could be heard shaking them down for money. In any case, three players were thrown off the team.", "Along the way, coach Mike Jarvis became the first Big East coach to be fired in midseason and his program was cited for under-the-table payments to Abe Keita, a player from the Ivory Coast. Four of the team’s very few victories were vacated by the NCAA (they were 1-15 in Big East play, even before that). The season ended with a 27-point loss to Notre Dame before a near-empty Garden.", "Lovable Casey Stengel and the 1962 Amazin’ Mets.", "3. The 1962 Mets, 40-120. We are now truly in the nether regions. But the difference between the expansion ’62 Mets and every other team on this list is that they had a rollicking good time while losing. Little was expected of them, and they had the right comedic frontman in Casey Stengel. \"When you’re losing,\" Stengel said. \"You commence to play stupid.\" When was the last time Derek Fisher had a quote like that?", "The Mets also had the right, wrong player at first base, Marv Throneberry. As Jimmy Breslin wrote, \"Marvelous Marv was holding down first base. This is like saying Willie Sutton works at your bank.\" He committed 17 errors in just 97 games, yet Throneberry became so popular, he inspired a large fan club of his own: VRAM, or Marv spelled backwards.", "Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks’ spiraling season right now. (Howard Simmons/New York Daily News)", "2. The 2014-15 Knicks, 5-36. This is a miserable work in progress — Phil Jackson’s dump job, if not a tank job. After another unwatchable basketball game in London, the Knicks are riding a 16-game losing streak that could well grow considerably longer. If Carmelo Anthony is shut down after the All-Star Game as expected, the Knicks may even challenge the worst 82-game record in NBA history: the Sixers’ 9-73 mark in 1973.", "This complete collapse may yet lead to the biggest turnaround in league history next season if the Knicks land a top pick and sign a couple of free agents. The biggest turnaround so far was achieved by the 1997-98 Spurs, with the arrival of Tim Duncan (plus-36 games).", "Columbia football snaps its 44-game losing streak in 1988. (Ed Bailey/AP)", "1. The 1983-88 Columbia football team. Admittedly, this is cheating a bit, since the 44-game losing streak encompassed more than one season. But any one of these seasons could top the list.. The only team that has a chance at approaching such a mark is the current Lions’ team, which enters the 2015 season on an 0-21 roll, with no coach and a lame-duck athletic director.", "The streak of the 80s included some infamous moments. Jason Garrett’s father, Jim, was the team’s coach in 1985 during an 0-10 season in which he called his players \"drug-addicted losers.\"", "\"One adversity comes and bang! They’re right back in the sewer again,\" Garrett said.", "The student paper, The Spectator, ran a story detailing the relatively low (by Columbia standards) SAT scores of the players, naming names and printing numbers. The team finally broke the streak with an upset over Princeton, but a coordinator for coach Larry McElreavy reported that McElreavy was carrying on an affair with a member of the athletics staff. McElreavy denied this, but resigned at the end of 1988.", "Beat that, Knicks. Beat anybody." ]
