Joel Fuhrman MD Meal Plan On The New Potato, we love divulging diet and wellness advice from some of our favorite doctors and nutritionists. Rarely though, do we get to ask them about their personal routines and opinions. Today, we’re talking to Dr. Joel Fuhrman; we trust him to debunk fad diets, explain micronutrients, and help us get over our snacking habits. He gave us the scoop on his daily diet, eating lose weight and improving our energy. What’s your personal diet like? I eat a quick and easy-to-prepare diet, and I eat simply. What foods give you the most energy? Foods that give you the most energy are the most unhealthy (calorically dense). Food addicts and unhealthy eaters feel the detoxification low after digestion is finished, so they look to eat for energy, even though they are already overeating calories. Are there any foods and drinks that are cancer-preventative? The phytochemical density, micronutrient density and diversity of the diet offers the most dramatic protection against cancer. 1. 2. 3.

10 Reasons You Should Never Throw Away Those Silica Gel Packets What Do Those Little Packets Do Anyway? Janine Ngai for LittleThings Silica gel packets are full of small grains of silicon dioxide in solid form. The technical name for it is silica xerogel, but most people just call it silica gel. It’s a desiccant, which means water molecules are drawn to it and out of whatever is surrounding the packet. That means they’re used to keep moisture, and thus mold, mildew, damage, odors, and staining, away from sensitive items. Silica gel is also used in cat litter, water filtration, and as an anti-caking agent in some foods. But you can also use it around the house! Use #1: Dry Out Your Phone Getting your phone wet is a major hassle, but it happens. To dry out the small openings and components quickly and thoroughly, drop your phone into a Ziploc bag with enough gel packets to cover it on both sides. Seal the bag and let sit for 24 hours. Use #2: Keep Jewelry Bright And Shiny Keep a silica gel packet in your jewelry box to keep moisture away from your jewelry.

Multiplicity and Memory: Talking About Architecture with Peter Zumthor This interview was completely conducted and translated by Marco Masetti, done as his bachelor’s degree thesis in Italy. The idea of multiplicity is innate in Peter Zumthor’s projects since his very first works: works of art surrounding us put on various meanings, which do not always remain on parallel levels combining well with dialectical relationships. The vague is planned strictly, holding by the rules of the architectural language. Things determine the spatial dimension of the world, and therefore its knowledge and usability to us. For Zumthor there is a strong connection between reality and living. From emotion he passes on to remembrance and memory, which are the central threads in Zumthor’s research. «The world is overloaded of signs and information, representative of things – Zumthor wrote – that nobody completely understands, because they are in turn nothing but signs representative of other signs. Zumthor has never investigated the theme of the city. The interview can start.

Woman Transforms An Old $35 Dresser From Goodwill Into A Furniture Masterpiece I’m the last person you should ask to help with a DIY project. Seriously — I have the attention span of a goldfish, and anything that involves more than a handful of tools usually gets scrapped in favor of a book and an iced tea. But this beauty and DIY blogger just revamped an old dresser, and she actually made it look possible for people like me to do something similar. “If you didn’t know, you can slay furniture makeovers,” April Bee insists, and she should know, because I now consider her the undisputed Queen of Furniture Makeovers. This gorgeous piece was only $35! Now, if you’re looking for a cute coffee table to pair with this project, you should take a look at the one where you pour dirt into the top. ith a bit of spray paint and a little hard work, Bee makes a complex DIY seem so accessible to the average person.

AD Classics: House VI / Peter Eisenman - liam5 (63272) - ArchDaily AD Classics: House VI / Peter Eisenman Architects Location Cornwall, Connecticut Architect Peter Eisenman Client Mr. and Mrs. Richard Frank References Peter Eisenman, Houses of Cards. New York: Oxford University Press, 1987., and Frank, Suzanne. From the architect. Situated on a flat site in Cornwall, Connecticut House VI stands its own ground as a sculpture in its surroundings. Thus, the house became a study between the actual structure and architectural theory. The structure was incorporated into Eisenman's grid to convey the module that created the interior spaces with a series of planes that slipped through each other. Another curious aspect is an upside down staircase, the element which portrays the axis of the house and is painted red to draw attention. As annoying as the house was to inhabit, Eisenman was able to constantly remind the users of the architecture around them and how it affects their lives.

Le propranolol pour le traitement du stress post-traumatique en France Un traitement de l'état de stress post-traumatique, qui associe le médicament propranolol à la psychothérapie, est offert dans le cadre d'un essai clinique dans une vingtaine d'hôpitaux publics en France. Plus d'une centaine de victimes des attentats du 13-Novembre et de Nice l'expérimentent. Le traitement, d'une durée de six semaines, a été développé au Québec par le professeur de psychiatrie Alain Brunet de l'Université McGill. Le déroulement de la thérapie est simple, décrit-il dans une interview à L'OBS : « Lors de la première séance, le patient écrit le récit de son trauma sur une ou deux pages, puis il lit ce récit devant un psychiatre ou un psychothérapeute. Le propranolol est un médicament, mis au point dans les années 1970, de la classe des bêtabloquants. Le médicament est aussi « pris par des artistes, des musiciens, des politiques avant une performance, un concert ou un discours. Les souvenirs, même anciens, explique le chercheur, ne sont pas gravés dans le marbre.

The Mainstream is Wrong. Banks Create Money out of Nothing. By Steve Keen I like Joe Stiglitz, both professionally and personally. His Globalization and its Discontents was virtually the only work by a Nobel Laureate economist that I cited favourably in my Debunking Economics, because he had the courage to challenge the professional orthodoxy on the “Washington Consensus”. But Joe’s latest public contribution—“The Great Malaise Continues” on Project Syndicate—simply echoes the mainstream on a crucial point that explains why the US economy is at stall speed, which the mainstream simply doesn’t get. Joe correctly notes that “the world faces a deficiency of aggregate demand”, and attributes this to both “growing inequality and a mindless wave of fiscal austerity”, neither of which I dispute. I’m the last one to defend banks, but here Joe is quite wrong: the banks have very good reasons not to “fulfill their purpose” today, because that purpose is not what Joe thinks it is.

Doors of Perception Stress post-traumatique et risque de maladies auto-immunes De plus en plus de recherches suggèrent un lien entre le syndrome de stress post-traumatique (SSPT) et la santé physique, rapportent les auteurs d'une étude américaine publiée en janvier dans la revue BMC Psychiatry. Les troubles liés au stress peuvent entraîner un affaiblissement du système immunitaire et une maladie auto-immune subséquente. Des recherches précédentes ont déjà montré un lien entre les troubles liés au stress et des maladies auto-immunes. Dans la présente étude, Deborah Boggs Bookwalter du Naval Health Research Center et ses collègues ont examiné l'association entre le SSPT et le risque de certaines maladies auto-immunes telles que la polyarthrite rhumatoïde, le lupus érythémateux systémique, les maladies inflammatoires de l'intestin et la sclérose en plaques chez des membres actifs du service militaire américain. Ils ont analysé des données concernant 120 572 participants suivis pendant une moyenne de 5,2 ans. Psychomédia avec source : BMC Psychiatry.

biorenew.iastate An integrated pyrolysis-bioenergy-biochar platform can provide multiple pathways for production of sustainable, carbon-negative fuels, power, chemicals, products, and biochar. Two pathways are being studied: A biochar & biofuel scenario, in which bio-oil is hydrotreated and then refined to produce both gasoline and diesel.A biochar & bio-power scenario, in which a solid fuel prepared from bio-oil, known as Lignocol, is used as a substitute for coal in power generation. We are performing techno-economic analysis to assess economic performance of pyrolysis plants and life-cycle assessments to determine net GHG emissions. In collaboration with industry partners, including Easy Energy Systems and Stine Seed, we are engineering, optimizing, and demonstrating a 50 ton/day modular pyrolyzer. Pilot-Scale Pyrolyzer APSIM Biochar Module We have designed, built, and are testing a biochar module within the Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM), a widely used cropping systems model.

Home and Garden DIY Ideas, Photos and Answers | Hometalk I paint these old dressers with mirrors often and i wanted another way to make my pieces stand out! Ive seen this idea around, it was pretty popular about 4 years or so ago. Its been on my to-do list since then and i finally gave it a try! Plus anything floral makes me happy :) Time: 15 Minutes Cost: $10.0 Difficulty: Easy 1st step is to gather supplies - i ended up only using the paint stripper and the muriatic acid. Apply paint stripper to the back of the mirror... Wipe the mirror with a paper towel to remove the black paint that covers the reflective coating... Rinse the stripper off in the sink... Take your spray bottle filled with the muriatic acid and spray all over the mirror. After letting the mirror dry, apply a layer of napkins, paper, tissue paper, wrapping paper, fabric, whatever you would like with a layer of Mod Podge - or i used Sweet Pickins Top Coat. And heres the final look!! Heres one i did with printed tissue paper that looks like newspaper print!
