1903: Fritz son dies

Included with the packet of Fritz/Curts family photos sent back to Hannibal by descendant Delmas L. Anderson is this circa 1903 photo of Charles Curts Fritz.

The Quincy Daily Herald published the following news item when young Charles died. Thanks to the Quincy Public Library for its digital collection of historic Quincy newspaper clippings.

This photo accompanies a story published on July 4, 2015, detailing the family's long history of funeral providers in Hannibal. Click here to read that story.

Quincy Daily Herald, Monday, Nov. 23, 1903

Young Hannibal Man Well Known in Quincy’s West End

Hannibal Sunday Journal: Mrs. Kate Fritz received a telegram Friday night from New York City conveying the sad intelligence of the death of her son, Charles Fritz, which occurred in a hospital in that city at 1 o’clock Friday morning. The telegram contained no particulars, and yesterday Mrs. Fritz wired New York instructing the officials of the hospital to ship the body to Hannibal, and it will probably arrive here some time Tuesday.

Charley Fritz left Hannibal some seven or eight years ago and for the past three years has made his home in New York City. His health broke down some time ago and he entered a hospital, where he remained until death relieved him of his sufferings. His mother knew that he was ill and that he was in a hospital, but she did not know that his condition was so serious until she received the news of his death. The deceased was about 32 years old and was the son of the late Evan Fritz.

Fritz lived in Quincy for several years and played the piano in saloons and sporting resorts. Hazel Fritz was his sister, and they came from Hannibal at about the same time, after the death by suicide of their father, Undertaker Fritz.

Work Injury

Finding a Chiropractor for Work Injuries

Working can sometimes be dangerous. If you have experienced a work injury, then you know how frustrating this type of injury can be. If you are suffering pain as a result of a work injury, the friendly staff at Mass Sport and Spine, serving Walpole, Westwood, and Wrentham, MA, are ready to assist you.

Common Workplace Injuries in Westwood

When people think of a work injury they often think of one-time incidents that result in an injury, such as falling or having an accident. Although these types of injuries can create pain and suffering, these is not the only type of work place injury we see. You can also suffer a work place injury by simply doing the same task over and over again. Regardless of the type of injury you have, some of the symptoms can be very similar. Work place injuries often result in the following types of discomfort:

  • Back pain
  • Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
  • Sprains
  • Neck pain
  • Nerve pain

The good news is that chiropractic care can help with the symptoms of this discomfort.

How Can a Chiropractor Help?

Work place injuries are especially important to treat because you want to get back to work soon. Chiropractic care can make sure that you are up and running as quickly as possible. Your chiropractor will evaluate your specific symptoms so that he can work to uncover the root of the problems. This can be done through discussion of your lifestyle and behaviors as well as through x-rays.

Your chiropractor will ask specific questions about your work activities to determine which activities are causing your issues, or how to avoid another accident in the future. This information will then be used to create a customized treatment plan just for you.

Once you have a treatment plan, your provider can begin to treat your pain and discomfort through spinal manipulation, heat ice therapy, massage therapy, and other options.

Getting Back to Work

Once you are on the mend, you should be able to head back to work. However, it will be important to avoid tasks or behaviors which can make your injuries worse. Your chiropractor will discuss with you ways to prevent future injuries. You can also discuss lifestyle changes that will foster whole body wellness as you heal.

Chiropractic care looks at the body as a whole. You may think that you are just dealing with one work place injury. Through chiropractic care, you can learn how to take care of your body as a whole in order to prevent future injuries.

If you would like to learn more about chiropractic care, please contact our friendly staff at Mass Sport and Spine, serving Walpole (508-668-8900), Westwood (781-708-9056), and Wrentham (508-876-7289) today.

We look forward to hearing from you

Wood Chipper Takes Life in New England Work Accident

According to authorities, the owner of a tree cutting company died in a wood chipper accident. The Boston Herald reports that the man was attempting to clean the inside of the chipper when a three-foot long, crescent-shaped metal shield came off and went through his chest.
Officers report that the man was letting two people borrow the chipper and he was showing them how to use it and clean it. The man allegedly stayed alert and conscious after the accident, but later died before a helicopter was able to transport him to a hospital.

Our Boston workers’ compensation lawyers understand that tree trimming and other similar operations are common in the area to keep our landscape looking its best. It’s also a common cleanup effort after a storm. These chippers shred branches and other parts of trees and transform them into mulch. These trees are fed into a chute and are sent through a number of blades to turn them into small wood chips. Unfortunately, these chippers come with some serious risks for operators.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), operators who are injured or killed by these devices oftentimes get caught in the feed mechanism and are pulled into the rotating chipper knives or struck by the hood of the machine while it is being opened or closed with the knives still rotating.

Officials with the CDC looked deeper into these scenarios and these accident reports to see just how serious of a problem this is. From 1992 to 2001, there were more than 2,000 injuries reported from people working with wood chippers. That means that there were more than 200 reported each year during the study. Of the injuries that were reported, more than 45 percent of them occurred to workers who were between the ages of 25 and 34.

In roughly 60 percent of these incidents, the employee involved sustained an injury to one of their upper extremities. From 1992 through 1996, there were close to 200 amputations resulting from these accidents. In about 25 percent of these cases, the person who was injured missed more than 30 days from work as a result.

Close to 20 percent of people who were injured missed less than 3 months and another 20 percent had worked 3 to 11 months.

The truth of the matter is that these kinds of accidents are going to cost you — with medical bills, lost wages, recovery time and more.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), chipper safety devices are available to reduce the risk of “caught-in” or “struck-by” accidents. Some manufacturers have equipped chippers with one or more of these devices. It’s critical to make sure that your wood chipper has these devices and that you’re thoroughly trained in how to use them to help to reduce your risks of an on-the-job accident.

If you are injured on the job in Massachusetts, call the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Glassman for a free and confidential consultation to discuss your workers’ compensation claim– 1-888-367-2900.

Where is the Best Place to go for Business Loans?

If you need a business loan, then it will be a good idea to look at a variety of places for it. The reason for this is that you will be able to compare the different lenders in order to make sure that you are getting the best loan. It is wise to make sure that you compare the loan sin several ways though.

Many borrowers will just look at the cost of the loan. They will see which loan will be the cheapest for them and then pick that loan. Logically that would seem to make sense, but there are a few other things that you need to consider as well. Firstly, many people will just compare the interest rates when they are looking at cost. However, this is not always sensible because it is not just the interest rates that will determine the cost of the loan. You will find that you may also be charged some fixed fees such as admin charges for starting the loan. Therefore, actually calculating hat the loan will cost you in monetary terms, could be a much better way to compare them.

You will also be charged if you miss a repayment. This amount could vary quite considerably. You may not think that it will be important as you may assume that you will always make those repayments. However, it is hard to predict the future and you may find that you will miss a few and then you will have to pay these charges. Although the charges should not be the main part of your decision when comparing costs, they should not be totally ignored. If costs are the same between lenders then it could be these costs that make the difference in which ones you choose.

The repayments can be almost more important than the cost of the loan. This is because if you miss a repayment it will be expensive and you will be more likely to miss a repayment if they are higher. However, if you have smaller repayments, there will be more of them and this will make the loan dearer. This is because you get charged interest while you owe the money and therefore the longer you owe it for; the more interest you will pay. You therefore need to get a good balance between cost and ease of repayment. If the repayments are too big and you miss one, then this could end up costing you more money, because of the charges, than having lower repayments but more of them.

Some people might also have requirements with regards to the lender. We tend to be loyal and want to use lenders we have used before, ones that are recommended to us or at least ones that we have heard of. Although they may not necessarily be the best, this could be important for us. We may also find that we will have criteria that are important to us such as wanting a lender with a nearby branch or a good customer service or things like that. We might even decide that going with the bank that we have our business account with would be a good idea as they might be more likely to lend to us. It is good to think about these things, but also worth thinking about how important they are compared to the cost and ease of repayment. If you find a cheap lender which is easy to repay, would you really worry if you had not heard of them? It may just be that they are new on the market or that they are not well-known because they do not advertise and pass those savings onto their customers in the form of cheaper loans such as those offered at Omacl.co.uk.

So, people have all sorts of reasons for choosing particular lenders. It would make sense to get your business loan form a lender which will offer repayment terms that you think will suit you well and that are not overly expensive. It will take time to do this research though and to find the most suitable lender. It will be worth it though as it could save you a considerable amount of money as well as possibly making it easier for you to repay your loan. Therefore, take the time because you will not regret it or, if you really do not have the time it could be worth paying an independent financial advisor to help you. They will be able to do al of the research for you. They may even look at your accounts to determine how much you will be able to afford to repay. You will have to pay them, but it could be well worth it if it means that you will be able to get a loan that will cost you less money and be easier to repay. It is likely that the financial advisor will save you more money than they will cost you.

Australia: Running Out of Luck Down Under

August 27, 2012

While it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter "down under." Today we turn our attention to Australia. In Endgame, Jonathan Tepper and I devoted a full chapter to talking about the problems we saw looming in Australia, and for that we have taken some heat! What's not to like about the Land of Oz? In our view, it might be the bubbles that are building. I asked Jonathan to update us on Australia, and in today's Outside the Box he gives us an in-depth look. Let me quote from a point...

Is Germany Entering a Recession?

August 21, 2012

Even in August, while nearly all of Europe is on vacation, we find that economies don't get to take vacation. Europe will come back from its holiday and find that nothing has improved and some things have gotten worse. Specifically, Germany looks to be rolling over into recession. In this week's Outside the Box, Charles Gave of GaveKal looks at Deutschland and notes that while it might be able to handle a mild recession, problems will be that much worse in the rest of Europe, which...

Financial Markets, Politics, and the New Reality

August 16, 2012

If you've been following my newsletter, you're familiar by now with my friend George Friedman and the geopolitical analysis company he founded, Stratfor. And if you've read any of George's work, you know that his entire methodology is based on the premise that the actions of leaders and nations are predictable. George starts with the constraints – what can they not do, assuming they're rational actors – and moves forward from there. It's this methodology that allowed him to – in all seriousness...

Random Europe

August 13, 2012

It is a lazy summer day here in Texas, and the market and investment news front is rather quiet as well. But that will change before too long. We should enjoy the relative calm while we can, because Europe will soon be back in full crisis mode, coming off the summer. In today's Outside the Box we'll look at three brief pieces that may give us a preview of the near future, as well as an incisive retrospective on the recent past.

The first is from Roubini Global...

Orders and Production: No Time for Complacency

August 7, 2012

We have been assaulted with economic news of all sorts, from every corner of the globe, while trying to watch the Olympics and while we would rather be enjoying summer and decompressing (at least in the Northern hemisphere).

But the data keeps coming. My friend John Silvia, the Chief Economist of Wells Fargo, has been with me in Maine this past weekend. And as we caught fish and shared our thoughts, we also both managed to get out our respective writing done. His note this...

The Election, the Presidency, and Foreign Policy

August 2, 2012

The closer we get to the presidential election, the more we are bombarded with facts, opinions, predictions, and the like from both ends of the political spectrum.

One thing I like about this analysis from my friend and geopolitical expert George Friedman is that he starts off with an obvious yet understated fact: you can't believe what presidential candidates say. Not because they are pathological liars, but because they must make promises that, once elected, they cannot keep, given...

• The Men who Built Britain ( Hardback )

A hardback copy  classic, which chronicles the lives of Irish men who worked in the UK on the building sites and roads.

'The contribution of the Irish "Navvy" to the British construction industry has been "immeasurable". For over two centuries, for hundreds of thousands of rural Irish male immigrants to Britain, the best chance of a start was in construction. While the men themselves have been largely forgotten or ignored, the canals, the railways, the roads, tunnels, dams and public utilities of Britain stand as lasting monuments to their sacrifices and achievements. "The Men Who Built Britain" has been researched by Ultan Cowley over a number of years. In it he quotes extensively from numerous interviews with genuine Irish navvies and subcontractors, senior English management and relatives of those involved. Generously illustrated with striking pictures - many never previously published - this book ensures that the true story of the Irish navvy will not be forgotten.'

Tempo Automation Raises $45 Million Series C Round Led by Point72 Ventures; Adds Strategic Investment from Lockheed Martin

Venture capital round follows a year of growth for the startup, including 2.5X YoY bookings growth driven by expansion in the world’s largest aerospace, medical device, and industrial technology companies, in addition to the opening of a 42,000-square-foot smart factory in San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 14, 2019 — Tempo Automation, the world’s fastest manufacturer for prototyping and low-volume production of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA), announced today that it has raised $45 million in Series C funding, led by existing investor, Point72 Ventures. The round includes new outside investors, including Lockheed Martin, as well as existing investors, Lux Capital, Uncork Capital, Cendana and Golden Seeds. The investment will accelerate development of Tempo’s proprietary factory automation software to further increase speed and accuracy for manufacturing high complexity PCB assembly.

“Tempo is reinventing electronics manufacturing by putting software automation at the center of what they do,” said Sri Chandrasekar, partner at Point72 Ventures and board member at Tempo Automation. “Tempo’s interconnected smart factory is modernizing the manufacturing process, which allows them to deliver a far superior customer experience. We see considerable market opportunity for Tempo, and we are pleased to support their continued growth.”

As technology companies compete to bring groundbreaking innovations to market quickly and gain first-mover advantage, they seek to reduce the time from concept to prototype to product launch. Tempo’s smart factory and proprietary software enable design engineers to ensure precision, speed, and transparency for PCBA.

“We’re fortunate that, by helping our customers apply agile methods to electronics development, we have sparked great interest and demand,” said Jeff McAlvay, CEO of Tempo Automation. “Our customers have told us that they view our software-first approach to manufacturing as transformative for their ability to bring products to market faster. This investment will help us drive software development and accelerate the growth of our team to deliver greater benefits to our customers and advance the future of manufacturing."

To date, Tempo Automation has executed an ambitious growth strategy focused on expanding its footprint with customers across the aerospace, medical technology, industrial systems, consumer electronics, and automotive industries. In 2018, Tempo opened a 42,000-square-foot smart factory in San Francisco’s Design District and released a host of automation software updates that have enabled electrical engineers to design, test, and deploy their products in a fraction of the traditional development cycle time.

As part of this investment, Matthew Granade from Point72 Ventures will join the Tempo board of directors.

DLR and ONERA select LMS as Ground Vibration Testing (GVT) partner

February 2, 2010 - LMS has entered into an agreement with DLR (the German national research center for aeronautics and space, transportation and energy) and ONERA (the French national aerospace research center) to deliver their next-generation Ground Vibration Testing (GVT) systems.

Dr. Jan Leuridan, Executive Vice-President and CTO, LMS International, “DLR and ONERA each ordered a 384-channel LMS Test.Lab GVT solution, which can be combined to form a 768-channel test system. Their decision confirms our position as the leading industrial partner for GVT testing. Both DLR and ONERA have developed their know-how for GVT testing over many years, and have a claim to fame for GVT testing in the aviation industry. We look forward to contributing to the advancement of the overall GVT methods and practices at these industry-leading organizations.”

Dr. Boeswald, Coordinator of DLR’s Ground Vibration Test Facility, “After the Airbus A380 GVT, we decided to switch from LMS CADA-X modal analysis software to Windows-based LMS Test.Lab. To achieve that with our custom-built VXI data acquisition system, we had to link in-house data acquisition systems to the LMS Test.Lab PolyMAX modal analysis solution. For our next-generation solution, we decided to combine data acquisition and analysis in a common environment, and selected the LMS Test.Lab GVT solution as the platform to support the complete GVT process. We also wanted to maintain the possibility to combine our system with ONERA’s system in France. Therefore, we needed to align our decisions and synchronize the evaluation effort.”

Pascal Lubrina, Manager of ONERA.’s Ground Vibration Test Facility, “LMS truly understood our particular situation and offered the solution we needed: a complete yet efficient GVT solution - easily customizable to fit our specific needs. LMS is an innovation-driven company, and LMS fully understands as well the need for high-level support of our research initiatives. By merging their leading GVT solution with our extensive 30 years of GVT experience, we will be able to take our GVT testing practices to the next level, and meet the ever more stringent deadlines of our customers,” stated Mr. Lubrina.

With important GVT campaigns planned for the 2010-2011 timeframe, ONERA and DLR investigated various industrial players. Following successful GVT benchmarks, DLR and ONERA selected LMS and decided to base their new GVT systems on the LMS Test.Lab GVT solution. This solution already covers all common GVT requirements, and could easily be configured to fully manage DLR and ONERA’s specific GVT methods and practices. Additionally, the LMS Test.Lab GVT solution proved to have the necessary openness to integrate customized procedures to support DLR and ONERA’s research initiatives.

About the LMS Test.Lab GVT solution

The LMS Test.Lab GVT solution uses the state-of-the-art LMS SCADAS III networked data acquisition system, in combination with the LMS Test.Lab data acquisition applications for MIMO FRF acquisition under random, swept and stepped sine excitation conditions and a direct modal acquisition module for normal modes tuning. Key to maximal productivity, all acquisition modules are seamlessly integrated with the world-class LMS Test.Lab modal analysis software, PolyMAX, and its wealth of modal validation capabilities.

Opinion: How the Green New Deal could dramatically alter our political debate

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey speak during a press conference to announce Green New Deal legislation to promote clean energy programs.

Liberal Democrats have been talking about a Green New Deal for months now, and on Thursday morning, they unveiled its first iteration, a resolution introduced by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts.

The resolution isn't a detailed piece of legislation. Instead, it's a statement of intent, explaining the justification and goals of a massive infrastructure program to transition to a sustainable future. This is at once incredibly ambitious and politically practical, in that its advocates seem to have in their minds a long-term plan to get it accomplished.

Don't be surprised if in short order it becomes one of the defining pieces of the Democratic agenda, both in Congress and on the presidential campaign trail.

Since Democrats have control of only one house of Congress, the course that Green New Deal advocates are following is to begin by articulating the need and establishing the framework of a plan. That gives Democrats something to get behind and drives a discussion, putting the issue on the agenda for the next couple of years.

A day after the State of the Union, House Democrats are starting half a dozen investigations and efforts to pursue legislation on climate change, background checks and paycheck fairness.

If they succeed, when it becomes actually possible to pass such a plan and have it signed by a Democratic president — 2021 at the earliest — the question will no longer be whether we need a Green New Deal, but what it should and shouldn't include.

That's the idea, anyway. Here's the synopsis from Ocasio-Cortez's website:

“The Green New Deal is a 10-year plan to create a greenhouse gas neutral society that creates unprecedented levels of prosperity and wealth for all while ensuring economic and environmental justice and security.

“The Green New Deal achieves this through a World War 2 scale mobilization that focuses the robust and creative economic engine of the United States on reversing climate change by fully rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, restoring our natural ecosystems, dramatically expanding renewable power generation, overhauling our entire transportation system, upgrading all our buildings, jumpstarting US clean manufacturing, transforming US agriculture, and putting our nation's people to work doing what they do best: making the impossible possible.”

Whenever Democrats offer a major policy proposal, the immediate response from both Republicans and journalists is “How will you pay for it?" Ocasio-Cortez was asked that question in an interview that aired on NPR on Thursday morning, and she was happy to say that yes, government is going to spend money on these projects:

The power of Nancy Pelosi's clap at the State of the Union address was in its restraint. This was a derogatory clap, make no mistake. This was mockery wearing a half-baked costume of politeness.

“We have tried their approach for 40 years. For 40 years, we tried to let the private sector take care of it. They said ‘We got this. We can do this. The forces of the market are going to force us to innovate.’ Except for the fact that there's a little thing in economics called externalities. And what means is that a corporation can dump pollution in the river and they don't have to pay for it, and taxpayers have to pay for cleaning up our air, cleaning up our water, and saving the planet. And so we've already been paying the costs, except we have not been getting any of the benefit. And so what we're here to say is that government is not just for cleaning up other people's mess, but it's also for building solutions in places where the private sector will not.”

This is perhaps the most important feature of this proposal: In both its content and the way its advocates are selling it, it's meant to change the way we think about government projects.

You can see why this would make Republicans nervous, beyond the fact that they don't particularly care about climate change and don't like government to do much of anything affirmative. They have managed to shape the debate on government spending in an extraordinary way, in that the things they want to spend money on, like tax breaks for the wealthy or wars or enormous military budgets, are almost never questioned in the same way.

President Trump used an appearance at a high-profile religious gathering to stress anti-abortion policies and appeal to conservative, Christian voters as the 2020 election campaign gets underway.

When Republicans say "We need to spend three-quarters of a trillion dollars on the military next year," reporters don't pepper them with questions about how it'll be paid for. It's just accepted that it's worthwhile, and therefore deficit spending is an appropriate way to finance whatever taxes don't cover.

Ocasio-Cortez and others are making the same argument about green infrastructure, as well as things such as expanding health coverage: It's worthwhile, and if deficit spending is what's required to pay for it, that's fine.

Up until now, the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates have been tiptoeing around the idea of a Green New Deal, saying that they support it in theory but they want to see the details before endorsing anything.

Now there's something for them to grab on to, and so they'll have to make a decision. My guess is that nearly all of them will in fact endorse it. It leaves enough room to say that they'll adjust the particulars once they're president, while also giving them a quick and easy way to signal to primary voters not only that they're serious about climate change but also that they're willing to think big and bold.

And it's almost impossible to overstate how important that is for members of the Democratic base right now. They're tired of timid technocrats who want to take existing policy and make a nip here and a tuck there. They want not only ambitious proposals but also candidates who don't accept how Republicans have shaped the debate in ways that are so familiar we barely notice them.

Endorsing the Green New Deal will allow the candidates to say: That's the kind of president I'll be. And if the eventual nominee becomes president, she'll have no choice but to follow through.

Late-game stumbles cost shorthanded Sixers in loss to Warriors

PHILADELPHIA — Stephen Curry has done it all in the NBA, so when he shook off foul trouble to score the decisive points down the stretch to again rally Golden State, the feat was met with not much more than a shrug.

It's what Curry does.

But maybe that greatness is sometimes taken for granted.

"It's interesting, because I think he's still underrated," Warriors teammate Andre Iguodala said. "I still think he doesn't really get the respect he deserves."

Curry got the 76ers' attention with five 3-pointers and 28 points to rally the Warriors to a 120-117 win over Philadelphia on Saturday night.

Curry seemed invisible in long stretches, especially in the third when he played just 3:45 of the quarter and watched the 76ers keep competitive in his absence.

With Curry back in the lineup in the fourth, the Warriors squashed Philly's upset bid in front of a sellout crowd that included plenty of Philadelphia Eagles and the first appearances of Philadelphia Phillies Bryce Harper jerseys. Curry buried a 3-pointer for a 111-109 lead, the Sixers tied it, then Curry scored the next six points over the final 2:35 of the game to do what he does best — carry the Warriors in the clutch.

"We're getting on this six-hour flight with smiles on our faces," Curry said. "These feel good, these games where you figure out how to win in a playoff atmosphere."

The Sixers had one last shot to at least tie but Tobias Harris lost the ball out of bounds with 1.7 seconds left. It was the final fumble in a series of miscues down the stretch, including Ben Simmons missing the rim on an intentional miss at the free-throw line.

"I think there is a little bit of confusion because we have a whole new team and we're trying to get guys in places," Simmons said.

Kevin Durant scored 34 points and DeMarcus Cousins had 25 to help the Warriors snap a two-game road losing streak.

Each team played without a franchise star: 76ers center Joel Embiid missed his fifth straight game with a sore left knee. Embiid, averaging 27.3 points and 13.5 rebounds in 54 games for the Sixers, said he expected to return next week. Golden State's Klay Thompson sat out with a sore right knee suffered in Thursday's loss at Orlando.

Without Embiid, Mike Scott scored 22 points and was a surprise star for the Sixers, until he botched a late intentional foul that gave Golden State life. Simmons had his second straight triple-double and 22nd of his two-year career with 25 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists. He also had nine turnovers.

Curry picked up his fourth foul with 8:15 left in the third and sat the rest of the quarter.

"It was disappointing just because he got himself vulnerable," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "We need him out there, especially with no Klay. I think he knows that and he was kind of disappointed in himself."

The game got wild without him. Damion Lee, former star at nearby Drexel, hit a pair of 3s in Curry's absence that kept it a one-point game. Considered a throw-in as part of the Harris trade with the Clippers, Scott hit a pair of 3s that stretched Philly's lead to five.

Golden State's stars put them ahead to close the quarter. Durant hit a step-back jumper and Iguodala, the once-popular former Sixer, connected on a 3 for a 93-90 lead to close the third.

Curry took over for the Warriors in the fourth.

"He's the second-best point guard ever. Argue that," Iguodala said.

Warriors: Big man Kevon Looney sat out because of right pelvic soreness. Alfonzo McKinnie left the game with a left hip contusion. ... Kerr enjoyed Golden State's only visit of the season to Philly. He apologized before he met the media for wiping his mouth after the final bite of a cheesesteak.

76ers: Played short-handed against the Warriors: big men Boban Marjanovic (right knee sprain) and Amir Johnson (upper-back tightness) also sat out with injuries. Jonah Bolden started for Embiid, and the backup was Justin Patton, who hasn't played this season.

Bryce is right

Franklin the mascot wore a Harper No. 3 Phillies jersey. Harper gave Simmons a shoutout in his press conference in Florida.

"It's amazing for Philly to have a guy like that coming here. We welcome him," Simmons said.

Comeback kid

Zhaire Smith, a 2018 first-round pick acquired from Phoenix on draft night, made his return to basketball this week in the G League. He suffered a broken left foot, and he had a severe reaction to food allergies that dropped his weight to 164 pounds. Smith is up 206 pounds and will finish the Blue Coats season before it's decided if he'll play this season for the Sixers.

Wilt’s 100

It was the 57th anniversary of Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game for the Philadelphia Warriors. Chamberlain shot 36 of 63 from the floor and an un-Wilt like 28 of 32 from the free-throw line to hit 100 in Philadelphia's 169-147 win over the Knicks.

Up next

The Warriors play Tuesday at Boston.

Sixers host Orlando on Tuesday.

Family Law Mediation

At McLaughlins Lawyers we always strive to find a solution in the simplest manner possible. We understand that when a matter reaches court, it will likely take time, money and emotional stress for it to be resolved. It’s why we place a huge emphasis on finding mutually beneficial solutions through legal dispute resolution and collaborative law.

Another option that puts the control in your hands is the process of mediation.

In this process, all involved parties get assistance from an independent third party to work out what exactly the issues are, consider and explore various options and alternatives to try and reach a resolution.

Depending on the nature of the relationship in question and the physical location of the parties involved, mediation can occur under the following circumstances:

  • Both parties and their mediator meet face to face in a mediation venue.
  • Both parties attend the same mediation venue but sit in separate rooms, with the mediator acting as a go-between. This is known as a shuttle mediation.
  • Both parties dial into a voice conference via telephone or electronic communication such as Skype or Zoom
  • One party is present at the mediation venue and the other party connects via telephone or electronic communication such as Skype or Zoom.

Unlike litigation, mediation lets you make the decisions. You can choose if you would like to have your lawyer present, but that is not a requirement for mediation – parties can attend without their lawyer. Your mediator is not there to give you advice or make any decisions for you. You are able to get legal advice either before the mediation or, if an agreement is reached, before you sign any agreement.

Mediation offers you many advantages:

  • It lacks the formality (and therefore the stress) of a formal court appearance
  • It’s confidential (with limited exceptions)
  • It’s usually less expensive than court proceedings
  • Both parties decide on the time, date and place – not the lawyer or court
  • You aren’t limited in what solution you come up with to resolve the issue
  • If you pursue mediation through McLaughlins Lawyer, you have a neutral location for meetings available to you, free of charge

With McLaughlin’s experienced family law practitioner and nationally accredited mediator, Joelene Nel at your side, you know you will be dealing with someone skilled and trained in assisting parties to resolve conflicts outside of court. Joelene is also a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP) and has specialized training in helping parties with their parenting issues. If the matter cannot be resolved this way, then you still have the option to proceed to formal court litigation.

If you’d like more information on the mediation process, please contact Joelene Nel today on 07 5591 5099.

'Around me the trees stir in their leaves and call out, Stay awhile.'

Mary Oliver

Last week I was feeling tired, exhausted and a bit low.  I tried to think of reasons why that might be and at first put it down to the cool, grey weather that had been trying to temper the bright flowers budding in May. And then I thought maybe it was to do with being fed up of the not-knowing-ness of Lockdown, the way each week you have to hold every plan and future thought lightly just in case this pandemic hangs around a bit longer. Another friend gravely sick. Another business closed. Holidays- a thing of the past.  More of the same. And on and on.

But even though those things contributed to how I was feeling, they were ongoing sadness’s. The thing that was different about last week was that somehow I wasn’t managing these things as well. I had been sleeping well, eating too well, I had supportive family around me. And then I realised what it was: I had not been outdoors very much. I was experiencing- what I’ve heard no doctor diagnose ever- a nature deficiency! I hadn’t been spending time digging and planting in the garden in the way I had been through April and early May: lovingly sowing and watering and willing seeds to grow with all the hope I could muster. I hadn’t been out on long walks, tramping across the fields, looking up at the changing sky. I hadn’t been out adventuring on my bike, wheeling furiously, fast down car-free roads. As a result, my mood changed. And I became more stressed, anxious and low.

Nature has a way of looking after our health and wellbeing so quietly and carefully that we don’t even realise it’s happening. My whole life, nature has been an important factor in curing me of whatever I was facing and yet I continue to forget this and don’t give it the attention, gratitude or praise it is due. Nature has given boldness to conversations I couldn’t have indoors, given me ideas for creative work, has helped me get out of my own selfish thoughts and remember how much bigger and wider the world is through its vast horizons and mountaintop views. And the quiet susurration of the sea and the rustling of leaves, have shushed and calmed my fears.

My Nature Journal, May 2020

And it seems that I am not the only one. According to the Mental Health Charity, Mind, nature has this effect on everyone. This mood-enhancing, confidence-inspiring, calming, spacious roominess to how you feel.

Sadly, not everyone can access nature in the same way during this time*. Some of us don’t have gardens to dig, or parks to run through or a tree-lined view. This is unjust and wrong. We should all have the right to a safe nature cure. Especially as a study by the NHS revealed that green spaces can reduce the health inequality between rich and poor areas by more than half. The Government should be acting on this as a matter of urgency. There should be environmental justice (ready access to clean, safe, green spaces) for the wellbeing of all.

At Meadow Well Connected, we have a 5 acre garden that is for the community of North Shields. Over the next few years, we hope local people will help us shape and develop it so that it becomes an inspiring and beautiful green space that provides a nature cure for our community.  We would love you to be part of it. Please contact our gardener Andy to join us: [email protected], or me (Volunteer-Co-odinator): [email protected]

Geraniums in The Meadows Garden

*If you are unable to leave home due to health reasons, there are other things you can do to access nature. Why not listen to this playlist by David Attenborough? You can also bring the outdoors in by adding houseplants to rooms in your house, make natural collections with seashells, leaves, etc., draw pictures of plants and flowers, ask a friend or family member to send you photos of favourite nature scenes and frame them to put on the wall, use nature prints for soft furnishings e.g curtains and cushions, position a chair in front of a view of a tree, field or other natural scene.

Twitter Tests Promoted Video Program To Aid Ad Buying

Wooing brands with the promise of better engagement and greater accountability, Twitter is now testing a performance-based Promoted Video program.

Part of Twitter’s Amplify program, Promoted Video equals easier uploading, distribution and measurement of video on Twitter, according to David Regan, a senior product manager in Twitter’s TV and Video department.

“We now offer advertisers the ability to run ads with a new Cost Per View (CPV) ad buying model,” Regan explained in a Tuesday blog post. “This means advertisers only get charged when a users starts playing the video.”

Brands using Promoted Video have access to various video analytics, including completion percentage, and a breakout of organic video views compared to paid views.

Twitter has also expanded tests of its native video solution with select content publishers and verified users -- the names of which Regan declined to share on Tuesday.

The beta launch follows tests of a new Twitter Video Card, which the company hoped would streamline video playback by adding a one-tap viewing experience to users’ Twitter timelines. Conducted earlier this year, the tests showed that tweets containing native Twitter video generated better engagement and more video views, according to internal measurements.

While user engagement and growth remain concerns for investors, Twitter’s advertising and media strategies appear to be thriving. Last month, the micro-blogging leader reported second-quarter results that safely exceeded Wall Street expectations. Indeed, revenue soared 124% to $312 million, while monthly active users increased 24% to 271 million.

During the second quarter, ad revenue grew 129% from a year ago to $277 million, while mobile ads accounted for 81% of the total.

Strengthening its media ties, Twitter recently agreed to buy SnappyTV, which powers a popular platform for the live-clipping, editing and distribution of video across the Web. The service was already a go-to for many of Twitter’s brand and media partners via its Amplify ad program, Baljeet Singh, director of product management at Twitter, said at the time of Snapp’s acquisition.

The investment tied into Twitter's efforts to drive TV viewership -- an area in which the company claims to specialize.

Industrywide, Twitter accounted for 0.5% of global digital ad revenues in 2013, according to eMarketer -- a figure the research firm expects to increase to 0.8%, this year.

Stateside, eMarketer estimates that digital advertising will reach $50.71 billion in 2014, with Twitter taking a 1.5% share -- up from its 1% share, last year.

Beyond Regan's blog post, Twitter declined to discuss the Promoted Video program, on Tuesday.

More Hospitality Chains Offer Social Media Rewards

One gets the impression that with some careful scheduling of their social media activity, a savvy social media user could stay in hotels for the rest of their lives and never have to pay -- provided they don’t mind turning over their social feeds to posts about hospitality providers. In recent weeks even more hospitality chains have jumped on the social media rewards bandwagon, offering customers free rooms and assorted perks in return for posting about their experience on social media.

The list now includes Hilton, which has launched a new social media campaign offering free weekends to social media users who submit travel photos as part of Hilton’s larger “Our Stage, Your Story” marketing push. According to Ad Week, participants just have to post a cool travel photo to Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, with the hashtag #HiltonStory. Each week Hilton will select one winner, who will get a free weekend at any one of 550 Hiltons around the world. The contest will continue through October 26.

Meanwhile Waldorf Astoria (a Hilton property) has announced a new luxury automobile promotion with a social media tie-in. Over the next few months visitors to six Waldorf Astoria locations will be able to drive some very fancy cars -- the Ferrari 458 Italia Spider, McLaren MP4-12C, and Porsche 911 Turbo -- along scenic routes under the supervision of Belgian race champion Didier Theys. Concurrently Waldorf Astoria is asking social fans and followers to submit photos from their own memorable driving experiences, using the hashtag #WaldorfExperiences, for a chance to win a free stay at a Waldorf property.

A few weeks ago I wrote about some other big hospitality brands rolling out social rewards programs. Radisson Blu, a specialty brand of the hospitality chain, announced a contest called “Social Eyes,” which will reward travelers who share inside travel tips on the Radisson Blu blog about destinations where Radisson Blu hotels are located. Each week the traveler with the best tip will earn a free room night at any Radisson Blu hotel worldwide.

In May Marriott launched a new “PlusPoints” loyalty program, which awards redeemable points for social media activity including retweeting posts from the Marriott Rewards Twitter account, following hotels’ Twitter and Instagram accounts, checking in on Facebook, or posting photos of a Marriott stay on Instagram, among others.

Last but not least, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants has created a new “Kimpton Karma Rewards” program will give guests perks and freebies for a variety of activities, including mentioning a Kimpton hotel or restaurant on social media.

Torture Methods With Sound: How Pure Noise Can Be Used To Break You Psychologically

Have you ever got a song stuck in your head that you just can’t seem to shake? That catchy piece of music on a recurrent loop in your brain, also known as an earworm, may seem torturous but pales in comparison to actual sound torture employed for military purposes. Sound torture is a type of psychological warfare used to break the will of prisoners using loud music or white noise. While many of us use music to escape or even center ourselves, it can also be used as an instrument of torture under the right conditions.

Sound Torture During The Iraqi War

After details emerged regarding the U.S. military’s use of torture during the Iraqi War, common methods of physical torture, including “waterboarding,” hooding, and physical abuse, came under immense national and global scrutiny. The use of torture remains a widely debated issue when it comes to the treatment of military detainees. Music torture is currently banned by the United National Convention Against Torture, but it is still permitted under U.S. law. The United National Convention Against Torture defines torture as:

any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him, or a third person, information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity.

Errol Morris’s 2008 documentary “Standard Operating Procedure” focused on abuse and torture of prisoners at the Abu Gharib prison in 2003 by U.S. soldiers. A clip from the film features a U.S. soldier explaining the use of deafening music to have a psychological impact on prisoners of war.

So-called “no touch” torture is by many considered more humane compared to waterboarding or hooding, but it's just as effective when it comes to coaxing information out of military prisoners. Other forms of “no touch” torture that are combined with sound torture include sleep deprivation, controlling the temperature of interrogation rooms, and violating the prisoner’s religious or cultural beliefs. Even though the prisoner is not harmed physically, human rights activists still find these techniques to be a violation of basic human rights.

How Sound Torture Works

Certain interrogation reports highlight the use of loud music reaching upward of 79 decibels for weeks and even months. Heavy metal music, such as Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name Of,” and Deicide’s “Fuck Your God,” often ends up on the CIA’s “torture playlist.” However, the most popular song used to torture prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and other detention centers in Iraq or Afghanistan was “I Love You” by Barney the Purple Dinosaur.

In addition to the ear-splitting decibel level, the music’s content is often chosen to offend the prisoner’s cultural beliefs. Sergeant Mark Hadsell from the U.S. Psychological Operations Company (Psy Ops) told Newsweek:

"These people haven't heard heavy metal. They can't take it. If you play it for 24 hours, your brain and body functions start to slide, your train of thought slows down, and your will is broken. That's when we come in and talk to them."

Although it may illicit the desired psychological effect of weakening the mental state of detainees, vice president of the Psy Ops Veterans Association Rick Hoffman said the interrogation technique has no long-term effect on the prisoner. Still, soldiers who are required to undergo sound torture for 45 minutes as a part of training would rather not do it again.

No matter how loud the music is or what its lyrics are about, the result is the same: the incessant use of music to cause discomfort among prisoners. Music used to break down the resistance of an enemy during interrogation is described as “futility music.” Professor Suzanne Cusick from NYU studied the effect of music torture in her 2009 paper, "'You are in a place that is out of the world. . .': Music in the Detention Camps of the 'Global War on Terror.'" She describes futility music as a technique used to persuade a detainee that resistance to interrogation is futile.

History of Sound Torture

Sound torture is nothing new. In fact, using sound to psychologically attack an enemy has roots in the ancient Aztec culture. The Aztec “Death Whistle” served a variety of purposes from human sacrifice rituals to warfare. During a siege on enemy territory, the Aztecs warriors would sound the “Death Whistle” in an effort to cause their enemies psychological discomfort before the impending battle. The skull-shaped tool produces a terrifying screech that has to be heard to be believed:

The U.S. has also employed sound torture outside of the Iraqi War. In December 1989, Panama’s military dictator Manual Noriega took refuge in the Vatican Embassy a few days after President George Bush launched Operation Just Cause, an invasion of Panama aimed toward overthrowing Noriega. The U.S. military broadcasted a playlist that included Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Guns N’ Roses, and Van Halen’s “Panama” over a military radio station.

While General James D. Thurman said music acted as a “sound barrier” that would prevent journalists from listening in on negotiations with Noriega supporters, none could dismiss the psychological pressure it put on both the Vatican Embassy and Noriega. Noriega surrendered to the U.S. military on Jan. 3, 1990, after 10 days of listening to the hard rock playlist.

Between Feb. 28 and April 19, 1993, federal and state military and law enforcement in Texas executed what is now known as the Waco siege. The siege took place at the Mount Carmel Center that housed the Branch Davidians, a religious group led by David Koresh. Over the course of seven weeks, the FBI used an unconventional playlist that included Tibetan chants, Christmas carols, and Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” to weaken the will of besieged Koresh followers. In the end, a fire allegedly started by sect members killed 76 people, including Koresh.

Musicians Against Sound Torture

How do the musicians whose music is used for sound torture feel about this interrogation technique? Musicians whose songs have been featured on military “torture playlists,” including Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine, have been outspoken over the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib, especially when considering their music is used in the torture.

Reprieve, a British legal action charity that provides legal representation for Guantanamo Bay prisoners, launched the Zero dB (against music torture) initiative in 2008 to persuade musicians into standing up against the U.S. military and central intelligence agencies (CIA) use of their music as a torture device.

It’s difficult for me to imagine anything more profoundly insulting, demeaning and enraging than discovering music you’ve put your heart and soul into creating has been used for purposes of torture,” Reznor said in a blog post dated December 11, 2008. “If there are any legal options that can be realistically taken they will be aggressively pursued, with any potential monetary gains donated to human rights charities. Thank GOD this country has appeared to side with reason and we can put the Bush administration’s reign of power, greed, lawlessness and madness behind us.

Other musicians whose music has been used in this interrogation process don’t find it all that offensive. James Hetfield, co-founder of Metallica, whose music frequently pops up on reported “torture playlists,” is even proud that his music has been used by military personnel in the past.

We’ve been punishing our parents, our wives, our loved ones with this music forever. Why should the Iraqis be any different?” Hetfield said in a radio interview. “It’s the relentlessness of the music. It’s completely relentless. If I listened to a death metal band for 12 hours in a row, I’d go insane, too. I’d tell you anything you wanted to know.

MitoAgeCell NAD+

  • Advanced Anti-Ageing Complex
  • Enhances energy
  • Supports Healthy Immune Function

Could the fountain of youth now be available in a pill? As our understanding of how the ageing process grows, we are becoming more aware of the importance of replenishing vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and coenzymes that boost our cellular health, regulate our metabolism and stabilise our hormones.

As well as containing key nutrients required for peak performance, our MitoAgeCell supplement offers NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), which could be the secret to ageing well. Our body naturally produces this molecule, but as we age levels of NAD+ sharply decline – at age 50 it’s thought that NAD+ levels are half of what they were in our twenties.

In recent years, scientists have discovered more and more ways that NAD+ promotes long-term health and it seems that the decline in NAD+ production is a factor in most of the diseases we associate with ageing. Research continues into the potential anti-ageing benefits of NAD+ but the following have been highlighted in recent studies:

  • May contribute to the lengthening of telemores; these are the cap on the end of our DNA strands and they shorten as our cells age and die
  • Promotes DNA repair which may slow cellular ageing
  • Regulates immune and inflammatory pathways which is part of our body’s defence against infections and other diseases
  • Improves how cells extract energy which has wide-reaching impact on how the body functions and ages
  • NAD+ supports effective energy production

Our MitoAgeCell NAD+ supplement combines NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) with other valuable vitamins, minerals and nutrients that the body requires for positive ageing. Coenzyme Q10 has become one of the must-have ingredients in skincare creams and serums as its energy-boosting benefits have been identified.

Powerful antioxidants are also key ingredients in the MitoAgeCell NAD+ supplement. The impact of oxidative stress on the body and particularly in relation to many serious degenerative diseases is now fully understood and antioxidants can help to keep our cells healthy and youthful.

Significant winter storm likely on Friday - initial details

With the relatively minor (for most) winter event this morning now in the rearview mirror, we turn our attention to the next one, which has the potential to pack a punch and be much more of an impact to the Mid-South. As we did yesterday here on the blog, we'll start with the overview and then get into the nitty-gritty details.

Map of current watches/warnings/advisories in effect for the Mid-South.

Overview - what you need to know

Watches/Warnings/Advisories: Winter Storm Watch from midnight to 6pm Friday.
What: Some sleet to start, mostly snow; strong wind and bitter wind chills
Where: The entire Memphis metropolitan area
When: Starting around dawn Friday morning and ending late Friday afternoon
How much: Minor sleet accumulation (1/4") as rain transitions to snow, then periods of heavy snow possible through early afternoon. Exact snow amounts uncertain, but as much as 2-6" is likely somewhere close to the metro.
Possible Impacts: Significant. Possibly heavy snow coupled with north wind gusts to 30-40 mph and temperatures falling into the 20s on Friday could result in areas with power outages and treacherous travel. Wind chills will drop as low as 10-15° on Friday.
Confidence: Moderate-High. Details on exactly where heavy snow will set up is the biggest question mark, but it is likely that the entire metro will have significant impacts nonetheless.

Computer model data has begun to coalesce around a common solution as far as the big picture for Friday with minor details still to be hammered out. There is enough consensus, however, to have moderate to high confidence in an impactful event affecting the entire metro starting early Friday and continuing through the day. The main concerns are snow accumulation and strong wind, which will likely produce hazardous to treacherous travel conditions, possible power outages, and very cold wind chills.

NWS-Memphis briefing graphic with their thoughts on the storm. Click for larger image.

Detailed discussion - the details behind the forecast

Low pressure will develop over southern AR Thursday, strengthening rapidly as it moves across north MS overnight. Computer models now have decent agreement on the track and strength of the low, with minor variances. Rain will occur on Thursday with temperatures above freezing, but perhaps not much above 40°. Rain continues Thursday night with temperatures falling through the 30s and wind increasing as the low moves across north MS.

By early Friday morning (4-8am most likely), temperatures will be cold enough for rain to transition, perhaps briefly to sleet, then to snow. Periods of heavy snow are possible Friday morning as the low moves into north AL. Strong northerly wind on the backside of the departing low will result in temperatures continuing to slowly fall into the upper 20s by mid-day. Wind gusts of 30-40 mph are conceivable due to the strength of the low, which will move east to become a Nor'Easter (that the national media is quickly catching onto) and will produce up to a couple of feet of snow in portions of the Northeast U.S.

The key to knowing where the heaviest snow will fall lies in where the deformation zone behind the departing low pressure develops. A deformation zone is basically an area around the north to northwest side of a mature low pressure system where warm, moist air that rises and wraps around the low in a counter-clockwise fashion meets cold air being drawn into the system from the north. Deformation zones produce an area of heavy snow and there tends to be a sharp cut-off to snowfall amounts on the edge of this zone. The prediction of exactly where that deformation zone sets up and where the snow cut-off lies is nearly impossible more than a day in advance of the event. However, I have fairly high confidence that at least parts of the metro will receive heavy snow on Friday and that there will be enough snow for all to result in significant impacts (we are in the south after all).

The deformation zone is the area on the back side (left) of the low pressure area ("L" in upper left) where warm moist air wraps around into the cold air zone around the low, producing an axis of heavy snowfall. Graphic courtesy COMET.
Is there bust potential? Yes, but missing out on any snow is not likely. The confidence in snow actually occurring is almost certain. The forecast will be refined and changed over the next 36 hours. Nothing is certain until it happens, but we expect it will be the details that change, not the fact that the event will be significant for the Memphis area and result in major challenges to travel and commerce on Friday.

What should we do now? First, stay in touch. We'll provide the latest information as we get it and address any changes to the forecast. Read and follow the tips below, since power outages are possible. If you have travel planned in the region Friday, postpone or cancel it if possible.

Winter Weather Preparedness Tips. Click for larger image.
 Looking ahead, a dry weekend is in store, but it will continue to be cold Saturday (probably in the 30s) with a warming trend as we head into Sunday and Monday.

Tune in TONIGHT at 9pm as we host a Google+ Hangout video discussion of this event, streamed live on YouTube. You'll be able to watch via the MWN website here or here on YouTube,

The Sugar Series – Part 1 of 3

Sugar, Hormones & Weight Gain

When it comes to your weight and your hormones sugar is not–so-sweet.

Dealing with mid-life weight gain takes many forms. It’s something that most of us battle with (find out the reasons why here). As you may have read I’m a fan of Intermittent Eating, and another habit that works for me is minimising sugar, particularly the refined variety, and embracing a more holistic way of eating, not just for managing my weight but also for balancing my mood swings!

You see, and the science on this is sturdy, sugar makes us fat and it’s linked to many diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, cancer, and heart disease (look out soon for part two in The Sugar Series for 10 ways eliminating sugar can improve your life). The other thing sugar does is muck with our hormones and triggers insulin resistance, fatigue and mood swings along with abdominal weight gain.

It also has to be said that the blood sugar fluctuations this bad boy can bring on are something you don’t want as it will only exacerbate all of your meno signs like irritability and fatigue.

How it works:

orange juiceLet’s say you have a glass of orange juice. Your blood sugar levels go up – often called a spike – the body releases an insulin response which causes the blood sugar to drop down again. Then you might have, let’s say, a sausage with tomato sauce and the sugar in the sauce causes your blood sugar to spike again triggering another insulin response. Do you see how it works? Every time you have sugar up and down your blood sugar goes. This stresses your body out causing it to release adrenalin because the tension makes it think you’re in danger (which you are but not from a wild beast). And hello bad temper, fatigue, hyperactivity (you can actually see this happen in children after some lollies!)

This information is backed by science. It’s backed by life too. I proved it myself just the other day. You see, I’ve been eating ‘clean’ for several months and decided to have a bit of a break over Easter.

To indulge I had a bar of chocolate. (I believe in the 90/10 rule and in freedom. ☺ You have to live.)

But gosh! I have to tell you I felt terrible afterwards. I now know what they mean by sugar hangover. It is literally like that. A hangover. As I’d completely removed the sugar I used to have on a reasonably regular basis (it’s in sauces, pastas, cereals, breads and all sorts of things) my body had healed and it definitely didn’t want the sugar anymore, and it let me know! It became tired, headache-y and I had a stomach upset. What it wanted – and I could feel the triumphant cravings ☺ – was green vegetables and whole foods over refined. True story.

Back in caveman times sugar was very, very rare and we had to run through a few hoops (i.e. walk for miles and up hills and down valleys) to get to it so it was OK for us to gorge on it. It didn’t happen often and we physically worked it off. These days we drive to the store and purchase it. Not much effort there. And then we eat, and eat, and eat. Physiologically sugar does not trigger our leptin hormone, the hormone which tells us we’re full. It’s why we can (and do) eat so much of the stuff.

sugar substitutesMany health aficionados recommend using honey, agave and maple syrup as substitutes but while they may be a tiny bit better for us nutritionally they’re still sugar and have a high caloric value. And it’s not just about the sugar you spoon into your cuppa or sprinkle over your porridge it’s the ‘hidden’ sugars in things like sauces, dressings, fruit juice and low fat yoghurt.

Where Sugar Lies Hidden

  • Low-fat yoghurt
  • Health bars
  • Sweet chilli sauce
  • Sauces: tomato, barbecue etc.
  • Dressings
  • Soups
  • Health drinks
  • Flavoured waters
  • Fruit juice and fruit drinks
  • Cereals
  • Chutneys
  • Baked beans
  • Sparkling wine

hidden sugars

Did you know?

We’re eating about 35 teaspoons of sugar every single day yet the recommended ‘dosage’ is six teaspoons for a woman, nine for a man and three for children!

How Do You Know How Much Sugar You’re Eating?

Look for the grams under total sugars and divide it by 4 to get the amount of teaspoons in the product.

The Different Names of Sugar

  • Glucose
  • Fructose
  • Corn syrup
  • Malt syrup
  • Dextrose
  • Steer clear of low-cal substitutes like erythritol and aspartame as well.

Meno Note:

If you’ve got meno signs like sleep difficulties, stress and mood swings and you’re eating sugar it’s likely that your sugar cravings will increase. Too much sugar can create a biochemical dependency in the brain. It’s why chocolate is the most common menopausal craving!

How To Cut Down On Sugar

1. Know Your (Ingredient) Labels

A good rule of thumb is to read the ingredient label. If sugar is listed in the first three ingredients put it back where you found it!

Divide the grams under total sugars and divide it by 4 to get the amount of teaspoons in the product.

read nutritional label

2. Go Naturally Sweet

Going cold turkey isn’t a good idea but think about swapping man-made sugar bombs for low fructose fruits like berries, rockmelon and kiwifruit. Stevia’s also a good sugar substitute.

3. Conquer The Craving

Feeling stressed or irritated and reaching for the chocolate bar? Choose something like Green & Blacks 85% organic chocolate and limit yourself to two squares with a cup of tea. Guess what? You’ve just turned your treat into a health food.

Or ask someone for a hug or phone a friend for a chat. You could be emotionally hungry
