It was a little boy sitting on Welcome to Going Deeper. My name is Marcy Sclove and today my guest is Bruce Watson. Bruce is one of the recipients for the upcoming 2019 SAMI Awards.  That kind of thing. It's not funny. Which is not funny. Bruce is a prolific writer. He has written four amazing non-fiction books and has an online magazine called The Attic which we will be talking about. So welcome. Thank you. Thank you. And congratulations. It's kind of nice to finally be, you know, given some recognition in your own town where I'm thinking about the Amherst Bullets and Pieces that you did for so many years and how you've really... Well I used to get a lot of recognition and I wrote 28 years and I would be walking downtown with my little children when they were little and I got a lot of people stop me on the street. So that was wonderful. Thank you Amherst and Northampton later. So I got a lot of recognition. But this is for a different, the Sammy Snot for that is for something else. So what did they tell you it was for? They told me it was about time. No, they told me that I, it was no coincidence, a year and a half ago they approached me with their 100th anniversary coming up, this is the Jones Library, of to write a 100th anniversary history of the Jones Library. And I initially thought, History Library, what am I going to write about crime, waves of overdue fees and the danger of mold, but in fact I thought about how much the Jones had meant to me and I've been here now for 30 years and when I first got here it was that old Jones Library that many people remember where you could just get lost in the labyrinth. It was wonderful and I just fell in love with the place and that's continued over the years and I've used it like when my children were young it was the place where you went for a break and story hour and later I was as a freelance writer I would be there almost every day writing and I thought well why not and I'm glad I did because I found by going upstairs into their special collections and all the archives and treasures they have there not just about for Austin Dickinson but about themselves that it's a fascinating place with a very interesting history. And now there are all sorts of histories of libraries. Susan Arlene has written a history of the library book and some others. We're also sort of starting to come to the realization that these libraries are these institutions that are holding our society together. They are the embodiment of the best in American life. Free information, sharing, people who are willing to help you, not to mention open public spaces for whoever needs that. So I tried to incorporate all of that into my book on the Jones Library which is coming out in a few weeks when I think it'll be available at the Sam's. Oh, that's great. It's also making me think about what this moment is in libraries because it's a big transitional time with all different kinds of information and how to kind of incorporate all that into the old space. Yeah, I got to trace all that. I mean it starts out, you know, this library is unique. Everybody seems to think, as I did when I first came here, oh that was somebody's house and isn't it nice? It never was a house. Wow. It was built to look like a house. That was the idea behind it that was really different than most other libraries. They didn't want a place where people just came and went. Got their books and left.  I love that. And so from the beginning it was designed as a place like that with a lot of fireplaces and rugs, old rugs, and it has that hominess and that sort of set the tone that it's continued for ever since. Yeah. Good. Enough about the library though because I want to hear more about you. I wanted to start with the online magazine that you have. I obviously just looked at it. Didn't know about it before I was doing this interview. And what I'm so excited about is its tone and how positive and interesting and sometimes very funny, so many different aspects of life but not the drudgery negative political quagmire that we're in right now. Well, it goes back to a little before the last election, believe it or not. I was flying to Iowa to speak and something about moving, something about entering the heartland I suppose made me think about what was about to happen. And even though a lot of us didn't think the election would turn out as it did, it seemed to me that the ugliness of that election, which was not confined just to one man or one party, the overall ugliness of the election had made us such a strident country that the history that I used to write for Smithsonian and American Heritage was all but gone. The idea that it was America can do no wrong, no America can do no right, and in between there's this vast history of culture, literature, lore, poets, humorists and some politicians who have really created what I think is the spirit of the country and they were not getting any attention and I thought, well, I don't know what's going to happen but I'm going to start a website. I'd never done that before. So I did this and that and it started in January 2017 and ever since, now it has, because that's more than two years, it has more than a hundred articles, each one about 800 words in different categories. There's a category of history, there's a category of arts and literature, there's a category of women, humor, and because I travel as much as I possibly can, there's a category called Attic on the Road and so you can go through and just browse, you can see a new one every week, there's a thing called I hear America singing where I just started that, but where I pick one of my favorite songs, put a link to the video, another category called the Attic Window, which, because I can't do this alone, you can click on it and you go through the window and you're at a New York Times article or a museum exhibit and the tone finally came to be called True Stories for a Kinder Cooler America and that I think is what we need. I do too. I mean I'm happy to, I'm fairly political as everybody knows and I have my strong opinions, but there are no politics in the Attic, I will not allow it and I'm the only writer so it's easy to not allow it. So this week's was on, oh I can't even remember, and last week's, last week was on the Nana Ice Classic and Ice Lottery and this week's was on Ida Tarbell the Muckraker, I've done articles on the artist Jacob Lawrence or Jasper Johns, the artist Edna St. Vincent Malek, Kerouac, WB Du Bois, Langston Hughes, the Attic on the Road has gone, I've been around lately since I started the Attic, I've been to the Grand Coulee Dam and Cadillac Ranch in Texas and Harper's Ferry and so there's just an embarrassment of my own riches so to speak there on someone. Yeah, so that one that I read this week, maybe it's last week's, but the one about, first it was the Happiest Cities and then it was... Oh those were lists, I decided everybody likes lists these days. But where's the the photographs from all over Attic on the Road, did you take all those photographs? If it's an Attic on the Road piece like at the Grand Coulee Dam or Harper's Ferry, those I took with a little phone. But the web being what it is and the Attic being not in the crosshairs of any copyright, I sort of feel like I can use a photo from somewhere and if someone wants to tell me to take it down I will but. So the photos are generally not mine, but for the explicit travel pieces Cadillac Ranch I took those photos. Okay, okay, well I love it and I think people should go to it and we're going to put up the URL, it's the Attic... Dot space. So I'm in the middle of reading Freedom Summer. We own our own copy, but I had some library copies here. Wow. Well that's, that describes a story. I hope we can get to that. This is a wow too. It is a wow. Yeah. I've been lucky over the years. I'm basically more a storyteller than a writer. I look for a story. I've tried to be a fiction writer. And I was failed miserably. I wrote a lot, but I found you can tell, you can find, you don't have to make anything up in history too if you find the right stories. And Freedom Summer, the story of 1964 that many people thought they knew. I even thought I knew it. The three murders and wasn't that, you know, a tragedy and it's still a turning point in the civil rights movement. But the story was really the day after those murders, which took place on the first day of Freedom Summer when 700 college students had gone to Mississippi to help register voters and things. And the murders were clearly done to scare them away. And the story was that they stayed. And the story is the rest of the summer when for seven weeks no one even knew what happened to the man. They figured they'd disappeared, but I mean, they had disappeared. They figured they were gone, but nobody was certain. And they haunted the whole summer. And the whole nation paid attention to Mississippi because of that. And the inspiration that I found, and I think readers find in this story of people really trying to make a difference and putting their lives literally their lives on the line to do it is remarkable. And I was lucky enough to find local people and volunteers. They're mostly still alive. Who told me their stories of terror, fear, restless nights, but also of getting to know a culture they'd never known and surviving and coming back with what we could only call PTSD now. And it is indeed a remarkable story. I felt privileged to tell it. Yeah, I'm just curious about the logistics. Like how many interviews, so it says in the back of the book. Think about 50. 50 interviews and all of the details that are fully footnoted and there's a long bibliography. Do you do all that research yourself? Do you hire? Yeah, I don't have Steve Ambrose. I don't have people. I did, when I wrote a book on sacraments, any guy came forward and did some preliminary research for me. But other than that, I've always done it and preferred to do it. If I can, if I was doing a World War II, I probably wouldn't. But you have a finger on it on the pulse if you are doing it yourself. Right. It becomes a little obsessive, I'll admit. And then there's also, by the way, a whole trove of letters, both in a wonderful book called Letters from Mississippi. And then also in various archives around the country, in Mississippi and in Wisconsin, and the University of Wisconsin. And I looked through as many of those as I possibly could, too. The letters were just so heartfelt. Yeah. So where are you from? Where were you born? Where are you from? I was born, I think. I should say this in the attic, probably, because it's American as apple pie. I was born in Peoria, Illinois. Peoria, where they used to say, will it play in Peoria? But I didn't grow up there. I grew up in Southern California. Okay. Orange County, which is also about as American as apple pie, about as awesome as Disneyland. Right. Okay. So I was trying to figure out how that... Do you have a sense of how your early life influenced or informed this writing and the breadth of your interests? I will credit my mother, who in another book I wrote about light in the history of light, that I hope we may get a chance to talk about. I actually dedicated it to her. These other books I dedicated to teachers or to volunteers, but I dedicated that to her because she was, as I say in the dedication, interested in everything. She was a school teacher, a public school teacher. She raised four of us on her own. After a divorce. And there was nothing that you could bring in that she wouldn't be interested in. She would take me out at night to see the stars. She taught everything from elementary up into middle school. And in middle school she taught English, journalism, math and art. She was a real Renaissance woman. So I think that that interest and her love of books came through somehow. Yeah. So that's a good segue to the book about light. Go ahead and talk about that. Well, my most recent book was a book called Light, A Radiant History from Creation to the Quantum Age. I wanted to call it light, I wanted to call it eternal, a biography of light, because that's what it is. It's a biography of light. And it traces, this was way out of my league. I know, it's so science-y. Well, it could have been just science-y. I discovered when I thought I got the idea from reading an Einstein biography, I wonder what have anyone ever done a history of light that it had been done, but almost always by physicists. And so they were primarily, there was a history of optics. Well, not being a physicist, and interested as well in the literary aspects, I just thought, well, let's do this from how my mother would do it, interested in everything. So it starts with creation myths. I was reading Joseph Campbell and that type of creation myth. Where is light? And then it goes to scripture. What did the Hindu scriptures say? Beautiful, beautiful, hymns to light in the Rig Veda. Everybody knows, of course, Genesis and let there be light and Buddhist light, et cetera, moving on chronologically into Greeks, and now you start to get into science. Greeks and what a light actually is, and then the whole way that Quran treats light, and then the Islamic scientists, and if you're still with me, folks, moving on into some philosophy, and finally into everything from art history and the major artists of light, which I narrowed, I could have, every artist is an artist of light, but I picked Rembrandt, Caravaggio, and Turner, and then the Impressionists. And finally, with Newton, and then on into the 20th century, we come to the mastery of light, and with physics and relativity, and the quantum light that we're using on our quantum optics that we're using on every screen item, everything we do, making this an age of light. I'm exhausted just talking about it. Yeah, it's a lot. Anyway, it was so much fun. So much fun to do. I hope I made it comprehensible in all different ways. How long did that book take you to write? About two years. And what happens to you when you're in between projects? I go nuts. I wonder, yeah. Everything I say, I wonder if anybody's written a book about cups. Everything becomes a possibility until I can narrow it down. I'm glad to have the attic now because if I think of something that seems like, oh, I could spend it. I'm interested in telling that story. I can do it right away. I don't have to sell it. Just do it. I enjoy it. It's up there, and then I can move on. And maybe one of those 800 word things will turn into another book project at some point. They all have been, most of them have been books by somebody else. Yeah. So you reached over for Bread and Roses. It's still my favorite book. It was, it's not my first book, which was about erector sets. And we missed that one, didn't we? And that was sort of a foot in the door. Somebody saw an article, an agent saw an article in Smithsonian and said, I think that'd be a book. And I thought, well, let's try it. Just try it. An agent came to you and said, this could be a book. That's the dream, isn't it? Oh, that is the dream. So you don't turn your back on that dream. So I said, sure, give it a go. So I wrote up a proposal. I wrote it in the Jones Library, by the way. And they sold it, and I wrote it, and I hope I did a good job. But that opened the door to more, and they must have been rather surprised when, for my next book, I proposed doing a story on a knock-down, drag-out, bloody, famous, labor strike in Lawrence in 1912, as soon as the bread and roses strike. And it remains my favorite, just because it's the most amazing story. The story, it should be a movie. I'm surprised it hasn't been, because it unfolded like a novel from Dickens. I didn't have to, not only didn't I have to make anything out, but I didn't have to compress time or expand it. Every week there was something. There was a thread, there was a walk-out and the fire hoses and all that. And then the chaos. And then an organizer came to town.  And then, in the most famous incident, the family sent their children out of town to families in New York and in Vermont to get out of harm's way. For safety, yeah. And that got a lot of publicity. And then there was a woman killed, and then there was congressional hearings and a murder trial at the end. It was stunning. Wow. And a story where it was so much fun to tell and it had not been told. There hadn't been a book. And how did you come upon the subject? Well, I worked. I was an elementary teacher during the time, elementary school teacher, during the time that I was writing novels and back in the 80s. And the last place I worked was Lawrence. Okay. Wow. And there was a bilingual by then because I'd been in the Peace Corps in Costa Rica and got a job teaching in a bilingual classroom. And Lawrence, I was teaching on the south end of town. Most people know Lawrence as the place they drive by on 495 when they see those mills. But I didn't see them that much until one day I went into town and I was just, I'm from the West Coast. I'd never seen a mill town and this is the mill town. And they're all there still and they're a thousand or 2,000 feet long in some cases and there's six stories high and you just know that town has a story to tell. So I heard about the strike, heard about things like that and thought about it later. Wow. There's a really beautiful scene in a film called Pride. You should check out that film. It's about this strike in Wales. Oh, I do know that movie. Yeah. And in London, there were a group of gays who wanted to be in solidarity and there's this beautiful scene where the workers have, you know, a gathering.  They're all a little afraid of them and all this kind of stuff. But they sing that song. They sing the song, Bread and Roses. And it's so moving. It's so beautiful. Judy Collins's most famous version of it. Yeah. But there's also a movie called Bread and Roses with Adrian Brophy. Is that how you say his name? And it's about a strike and even though it has this name, it's not about this strike. It's about a generous strike in a service people strike in LA in the early 2000s. It's a good movie. But at the very end, he gives up and he talks about the origins of the phrase in 1912 in Wales. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so just briefly, we can't leave out Sacco and Vincetti. No. That would be not good. Well, Sacco and Vincetti sort of emerged as a sequel to Bread and Roses. It was the next book. It came along very quickly. At the very end of Bread and Roses as I was researching, I came across, you know, I look everywhere I can and there was an overlap there. Sacco had actually been, as a shoe worker from Italy, he had actually gone to Lawrence during the strike and seen people speak and helped raise money for the cause. So that drew me to a book on them and then, of course, in that case, I couldn't say there were no books on Sacco and Vincetti. There were like 60 books on Sacco and Vincetti. Wow. But what I was able to do, I got thoroughly involved in it. There hadn't been one in a long time and it was sort of, were they guilty, were they innocent? For those who don't know, Sacco and Vincetti were two Italian immigrants and anarchists, pro-client, proud anarchists who were accused almost a hundred years ago now, a hundred years ago next year of a payroll robbery murder, brutal gunning down in Braintree, Massachusetts. And it led to a trial in which they were convicted despite all sorts of doubt and seven years of appeal during which time they became the most famous men in the world, I am convinced. Wow. There were marches on the day that they were to be executed and finally were. There were marches in every capital in the world, Johannesburg, Tokyo, Sydney, all over Europe, not so much in America, curiously. Sure. That's some. And so, all of the literature on it had devolved into were they guilty, were they innocent, were they guilty, and there is reason where you can argue both sides. My book, I decided, I'm not going to say what I think, let the reader decide. I'd have a hard time reading it and thinking they were completely, that they were, that they were totally guilty.  But it was also interesting because I speak some Italian and I was able to read their letters in Italian, which had not been used very often. And I found the letters, I was going back and forth, back and forth to the Boston Public Library, where there's stacks and stacks of letters by them and by their lawyers and using a lot of stuff that they hadn't, that hadn't been used before in spite of all these books. And so, I had, again, this is not an inspiring story other than the nobility of the people who fought for them. There were some many older socialite women who befriended them, became like second mothers to them when they were in jail. Wow. There was a lawyer, their second lawyer, who had no, everything to lose by taking the case and the appeals, and he did. Of course, it has a rather sad ending, but it was a remarkable story. Yeah. Wow. And word on the streets, you have a new book you're working on. Well, sort of, I hadn't heard it on the street yet. Yeah, yeah. New York Times, I heard it first, but then I heard it on the streets. Yeah, yeah. Well, somebody should put it in the attic. Yes. And I'm finishing it right now, and it's a, coming out, I hope next year, from, it's a young adult book, and I was asked to write it as a young adult book. And it's about race being such a hot button issue now, and I'm sure forever as it should be. Yeah. We are opening up and turning over all sorts of rocks, and discovering on Freedom Summer was one of those. Sure, yeah. But I mean, many people were shocked to read what Mississippi was like in 1964. They were very careful to talk about all the progress that Mississippi made. But still, we are, we are in that sort of mood, and I wanted to, not whitewash anything, no pun intended, but to call attention to the fact that that there was, there have been over the years people who have fought for racial equality, even when it wasn't popular. So my book is on a group of anthropologists. Margaret Mead is the most famous, but at the center of it is her teacher, a man named Franz Boaz, who basically was the founder of anthropology in America. He came from Germany. He started anthropology at Columbia. All of his students within 40 years were all over America teaching his, his paradigms, his teaching, which was basically the scientific racism of the time, which statistically, quote, unquote, proved white superiority, proved that the primitive peoples, quote, unquote, and the savages, quote, unquote, were never going to mountain anything. They didn't have anything worth studying. That was the opposite of everything Boaz and his students believed. And they waged quite a heroic battle in print, in classrooms, and in public schools to restore the dignity of all people. And so it's a, it won't make you feel great about racism in America. It certainly will not erase that or change anything, but it does show that it has not necessarily just been on one side. In the process, I read a really good book called A History of White People by now Irwin Painter, the historian at Princeton, and she just goes through scathing. It's hard to read. All the history of racism, all your favorites, Emerson, Jefferson, of course, all these others and just the racist statements, but there's one chapter called Franz Boaz Dissentor. And she just says exactly what I'm saying that, yeah, he wasn't perfect, but he did this. He waged this, but he didn't know because he waged this battle and people should know about it. Oh, that's great. So that is pretty inspiring given the age group also. Yeah. I've never written for that age group. Yeah. So how does that work? Like do you have to kind of be careful of your vocabulary? Yeah. And, yeah, and just shorter and more anecdotal, more stories, really. And it's hard with anthropology because that's not an easy discipline to, under any circumstances, to bring to even to high school level. Exactly. And so it is, I'm not going deeply into anthropology. Right. It's more of a social activist study. That's great. All right. Well, I would like to remind everyone to please come to the Sammy Awards. They're on April 25th, 6 p.m., I think. It's a converse hall. You have to get ticket. Converse hall, tickets. That's the whole idea. You'll buy tickets. It's a fundraiser for the Jones system. Right. Thank you for coming. Thank you, Marcie. I really appreciate it. You're very nice.


Blue hydrogen is not a viable solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The study found that even when assuming the lowest possible methane leakage rates, blue hydrogen has higher greenhouse gas emissions than burning natural gas directly. Furthermore, the study also assumed that captured carbon dioxide could be stored indefinitely, which is an optimistic and unproven assumption. This article was authored by Robert W. Hoef and Mark Z. Jacobson.


Hey, y'all welcome to what Chelsea eats. Thank you so much for joining me today I am going to be sharing with you what I eat in the day But this one is a special what I eat in the day because in my 90-day walk to freedom from Fibri's group coaching program I walk my clients through a cleanse so this week is week one for the cleanse and I am going to show you what I ate for the cleanse on one of the days this week now the cleanses to choose from in the group are a variety of different cleanses and this week I decided to do a smoothie cleanse smoothies and smoothie bowls But before we get into what I ate in a day. I want to let you know I'm glad you landed on my channel My name is Chelsea Knudsen and I'm a certified holistic health coach and I coach women on how to heal naturally From female related conditions So if you would hit that subscribe button if you like what you see and don't forget to hit the notification bell So you never miss an episode also before I forget I want to let you know that my next 90-day walk to freedom from Fibri's group coaching program starts on January 6th Some people have been asking me via email So I wanted to let you know that that's the next group if you are interested The link is down in the description box below and there will be a link up in the cards if you want more information Be sure to grab your spot because January is always my biggest class I'm hoping to be able to hold to but I don't know if that's going to be able to happen in January So we'll see but I want to let you know that I will be sharing three full recipes that I ate on this smoothie cleanse this week and All of the recipes that I'm sharing with you are compliant for women who are fighting against Female reproductive issues such as fibroids PCOS endometriosis ovarian cyst block tubes infertility The recipes are in line with the methodology that I teach for using food as medicine in my programs Now I'm going to take you into my kitchen so you can see what I do to make my food So I had this cantaloupe in my refrigerator that I needed to get rid of yes We still have cantaloupe here in North Carolina The most astringent fruits on the planet one of them are melons, so I love drinking melon juices They are great for helping to heal female reproductive issues If you are in any of my programs, you know that I'm always talking about melons berries Citrus and grapes being the best fruits you can eat for healing Reproductive issues, so this juice was delicious. I drink the juice from them year-round if I can find them and most of the time I can here in North Carolina if you've got symptoms You've got to get the greens in every single day This recipe has four packed cups of spinach half cup goji berries, which is full of iron by the way three cups pineapple one to two cups mango one dropper of vanilla cream stevia one Teaspoon of vanilla flavoring and three cups almond milk got my ingredients from Costco There's pineapple chunks and then my mango chunks and then there is my goji berries I think you can also get these from Amazon, so I'll link them below All you do is put all of those ingredients in your blender and blend until smooth this smoothie made two servings with a total of six cups total and This smoothie was really really good It tasted like I needed to be on a beach somewhere in the tropics with a little umbrella in my drink Also, I want to let you know that everything that I'm talking about in this video will be listed below in the description box Now this company Vita Extra sent me this blender and it's pretty cool It's cordless and it's good for if you're on the go and you need to blend your food now It's not going to do what a Vitamix will do But if you want to blend a little smoothie or salad dressing or if you need something on the go, it's perfect for it It even comes with a little pump where you can remove extra air out of the container to keep your Ingredients fresher longer. You can even charge it in your car because it has like a little USB Cable that charges it the containers are BPA free. I think what I like most about it is that it is a little workhorse and it's cordless so what I am doing is making the sauce for my Banana Kiwi Bowl my banana Kiwi Bowl has two bananas sliced and two Kiwi peeled and chopped and then I'm adding one cup of cherries frozen to this container along with one cup of milk and this is almond milk that I'm using for this recipe and and My test for this was to see if it would actually blend frozen fruit versus just soft fruit and You'll see in just a second. What happened? So you screw the base onto the jar and you need to make sure that it has a tight fit Because it won't turn on if you fit doesn't have a tight fit you double-click the button in order to turn it on as a safety measure and It blends until smooth and then it just shuts off when it's smooth And if you feel like it needs to go a little bit longer, you could always turn it back on but that wasn't the case for my Little cherry sauce that I was making it actually blended perfectly So if you are interested in this little Blender the link in the description box is below and it has a limited-time discount code Which is about 30% off So now to top my fruit bowl you have to flip the Blender over open it up to get the base off and actually to clean that base all you do is rinse it under some Cold water you don't immerse the whole thing in cold water, but you rinse it and it cleans up easily So now I'm going to add my sauce So I wasn't sure if I wanted to add the whole thing, but I ended up adding the whole amount to the smoothie bowl and I'm glad I did because it made it so young the point is is to cover all of the fruit with the sauce and If you would like if you want your sauce a little bit sweeter you can add stevia or you can add some honey to your sauce and Make it like a really really sweet treat, but I liked it just the way it is Yeah, look how good that looks How my mouth just watered again just looking at it. I had it earlier today It was delicious and Last but not least I added some crunch and I chose raw pumpkin seeds You can truck you can use hemp seeds. You can use sunflower seeds You can use almonds or you can leave seeds all out if you want to but I loved it because each time I took a bite of The fruit I got a little crunch when I chewed now you've seen what I ate in a day and First of all one was a juice. I Made that a juice because I didn't want that Cantaloupe to go to waste so what can I say? So I had one juice and two sort of smoothies one real smoothie in and one smoothie bowl But you guys have to try all three of those recipes the one that I probably like the best is the cantaloupe just because cantaloupe juice and watermelon juice is like one of my favorite foods and Probably my most favorite food actually, but that's a whole nother story But out of the other two my favorite was the banana kiwi bowl with the cherry sauce Oh, that was good, and it was very very filling Also, if you want to know more about which foods to avoid to help your body to get on the healing path I'm gonna have the link for my foods to avoid to help you shrink fiber. It's naturally E-book down in the description box below and above in the cards Also, if you're just trying to figure out what you're supposed to eat to help your body to get on the healing path I have tons of recipes on my YouTube channel and all of them, especially the ones within the last probably three years are compliant to women's health issues So you can feel free to go through and look at those recipes and make yourself a grocery list Figure out what it is that you need to eat and make sure you eat enough so that you feel satiated That's a big problem that people have they don't feel satiated and they're not eating enough Of course, you're not gonna feel satiated if you're not eating enough. So That's why when you see my big bowls of salad, you're like, wow, that's a big salad Well, it's low in calories.

Hi everyone, I'm the Managing Director of a couple of recruitment and HR consulting businesses foresight in the Hunter and Central Coast and Penrith personnel in Greater Western Sydney. I did psychology at university and then travelled for a year. I had some interviews with foresight and they suggested I try the recruitment industry which I thought why not and and here we are 20 years later and I still love it. So to be involved in the the engine room of business which is people it's it's the it's the heart and soul of business every business doesn't matter how automated the business is there is still a human element to it somewhere and to be involved in the people the people's strategy the planning and just the human element that goes to that it's it's an honour and I still love it and hopefully I'll be saying the same thing in another 20 years. My answer for finding a job be it to change industries or to remain in your existing industry is roughly the same and don't get me wrong. There's a ton of information online about about job search and building a resume and using social media and I don't want to rehash that for you, but I do want to highlight what I think is the best advice I can give you and and that advice is to treat job search like the toughest job you've ever had. Job search as you all know is not just scrolling through job boards. That's a 10-15 minute exercise. By the time they hit job boards, they really are dealing with the masses in terms of a volume of applicants. You're becoming one of the herder quickly and don't get me wrong. People get jobs as a result of that. So I'm not downplaying the importance of that, but it needs to be only one element of your strategy and certainly if you are trying to change industries then the level of creativity, proactive thought that you need to put into your job search must be heightened and I'm talking about the the research that you need to do into the industries that are employing in the geographies that you want to work and really making some decisions for yourself about the skillsets you have that are transferable, thinking specifically how they might apply to those industries that are employing and then adjusting your resume to ensure that those transferable skills are highlighted in your resume. But it goes beyond that. You've done the research in the industries that you think tick those boxes. You found the companies that operate in those industries in the geographies that you want to work. You then need to find the contacts in those companies and you need to find out a bit about those contacts. Who are those people and not just their contact details, but where have they come from? What's their background? And have you got a network that may, even if only two, even if it's two, three, four degrees of separation, have you got a connection there that might enable you to more personally connect with that person? So didn't your neighbour once have a girlfriend who used to work at that company that based on my research here is in an industry that seems to be busy right now and I think my skills might apply? Contact your neighbour, find, check with him or her, their ex-girlfriend. Make contact with that person. These are the layers of research and creative thought, innovation and going that 1% extra that is going to help you be it staying in your industry or changing the industry. And of course, once you do all of that research, it's in about making contact with that relevant person and then bring all of that research to the table. And I don't mean in terms of a half hour spiel, I mean in terms of selecting the most powerful things that you've learned through your research, preparation, conversations with your network, that you think is going to give us, give you your best chance of nailing an opportunity the moment you make contact. Be it telephone, email, social media, some other way. And then of course, be absolutely ready to follow that brief communication up with a really concise and powerful statement about what your relevant skills are. Regiment, LinkedIn profile. And then once that's happened, it's following it up with a courteous follow-up call that again just checks in and demonstrates how you are, without being annoying, how you are more motivated, more ready, more skilled, you know, more informed on what they do as an industry and their challenges, more connected in terms of relationships that you may or may not have, however distance they are, distant they are. It's a tough job and my advice to you is to treat it as a really tough and long hours job. So I've got three top tips for working from home. One is you need a schedule and there's a couple of reasons for needing a schedule. One is because it helps you ensure that at the end of a day and indeed over the course of the day, you are staying on track to the objectives you set out to achieve that day. Now you could argue, well that should apply for every day. I think when, regardless of working from home, but I think when you're in a work environment, you're able to go with the flow of work that's happening around you. You know, you fit into other people's projects and agendas. You fit into conversations that picks up on where you left off last week and working from home, you miss those patterns. So I think an agenda or schedule is more important when you're working at home, but it helps in another way as well and that is to align what you're doing with the people around you in your home. I'm sure we've all experienced it where you're trying to get peace and quiet because you've got concentration that's needed for a particular task for the next couple of hours, but you know your kids are on there, online recess or something else for your flatmates is going on around you and tension can happen really quickly when you're out of alignment. So if you're creating a schedule, you can also align that to others in your home, in your dwelling, and you can ensure therefore you're capitalising on other things like the social interaction that can happen when you're all having a break at the same time or all having lunch at the same time or having some sort of a downtime or in contrast some concentration or focus time. The other one is Zoom meetings. My personal opinion is you need more Zoom meetings but for less time. Zoom can only do so much of the heavy lifting of face-to-face interaction and I think we have, we get so much of it at work you know around people's desks in the hallways making a coffee in the kitchen which you get none of at home and I think we try and jam a lot of that in to two dare I suggest three hour Zoom meetings and they are hard, yacker and I think a better solution is to have a higher volume of Zoom meetings but for less time and you know they can therefore they only need to cover two or three quick objectives for 20 minutes great guys hey let's check in again at 4.30 and we'll catch up for another 10 minutes rather than trying to jam 17 topics into a heaven forbid a three hour Zoom session and my final tip for working from home is exercise which you can weave into your schedule for me personally balance and productivity includes exercise so prioritising that even when you are working from home is important so I'm an employer and I must say I've asked myself this question every day over the last two to three weeks and my best answer is transparency and communication we were we've been very fortunate we have a working a culture style that is already very transparent and communicative but don't get me wrong we raised that up a notch in the last two to three weeks but that was a really great springboard for us to be able to do that and I mentioned in one of my recent LinkedIn posts that I communicate with our employees like I communicate with my account and that's not for a moment to suggest that that's about laboring them with whatever you know stress or or detail that is unnecessary for them it's it's far more positive and constructive than that and it's it's about giving our employees to the best of my ability the visibility and control that they need to feel a little more secure in what the future could look like and as importantly where they fit in that story and and what is is about what they do that can give us every chance of success um so transparency and communication

This is a really important research outcome and it was enabled by the knowledge and capacity brought to the project by volunteers. We work with heritage, this is being lost but we see this as an opportunity for learning and enjoyment and for benefits in society today and we're not about preservation, we're about opportunity. Each one of these projects on the screen was nominated and brought to us by volunteer or by member of the public and some of them are quite ambitious and they're all volunteer led projects so this has resulted in a great body of case studies of positive responses to loss of heritage which can be used by others as inspiration. Our network of trained volunteers are embedded in local communities across Scotland and so this creates a legacy of stewardship for coastal heritage which is really important for coastal management, sustainable coastal management and the impact of volunteers is particularly felt in the data collection and the taking action which drives the heritage management cycle. So to conclude I would like you to hear for yourself some of the varied impacts expressed by our volunteers as a result of their involvement in coastal heritage risk in Scotland and hopefully this will work. Just in two slides, enthusiasm and passion for actuality and I wish I was younger and I would have done it longer. This is going to be interesting but as I go into it it's quite fun. I think it's going to be a community on board because there are people who are around to see the changes that occur and hopefully record what's happening and take photographs and keep an eye on things. It's got me out really looking at my local coastline and I really value that. It was quite a good way to learn some skills and techniques that was one of the cool things that I learned from charters of the RTI imagery and the photographic techniques I've used and I enjoy using them myself and it's fun. These types of projects are good ways of getting people interested in the whole field of archaeology and it's a good way to make new archaeology so that's it. It's better than calling it a holiday. I suppose it's taking on sort of a responsibility for some of the sites up here and giving to know them better to see how they've changed over the past years. It's as much about serious research, original research but we love going out as a gang and that's what this project really offers. The main thing was I think being able to tap into expertise that we would never ever ever have been able to do. I met people who were exciting and had done things that I learned from them. I also found it really post stimulating because we had this thing in the town and it was something which we as a community could get involved with but at the same time having the ability to actually spread ourselves and meet other people and just take the message that we thought were fabulous to everybody else and get the support. For me it really invigorated my desire to get involved in the archaeological world. I've been involved in a big thing, got involved in a project and I've actually been inspired to turn up the coast of the rest of Ireland off the back and getting back involved in archaeology. And we had some wonderful people at all these various conferences. Especially at the conference in St Andrews with Fernandez. You know I thought I'd pass on doing all sorts of things but I'd like to be funding you recent life as a project and I think that's been very useful because you get all the throne and that is to be involved in something else.


Dear students, my name is Mohamed Raschar and today we are going to perform an experiment named as isolation of Lactobacillus from dairy product. In order to perform this experiment, the material, apparatus and chemical which we will use, let me introduce with that practice. We need pipettes, goat milk, glass test tubes, test tube rack, L shape spreader, blue tips, prepared MRS agar plates and distal water. So in order to perform this experiment, we need aseptic conditions but that we will perform this experiment in laminar air flow so that we can maintain aseptic condition. So let's begin with the experiment. So in the very first step of this experiment, we will perform the serial dilution of goat milk. In order to perform the serial dilution of goat milk, we will take a micropepper and take 1 ml of goat milk and mix it into 9 ml of distal water. And from second tube in which we have just added 1 ml of goat milk, we will take 1 ml of solution and we will add into the third tube and likewise we will transfer it up to tube number 7. After making the serial dilution, we will take 1 ml of solution from the last test tube and will spread over the already prepared MRS agar plates. Once we will pour 1 ml of solution on already prepared MRS plates with the help of L shape spreader, we will spread that solution. After spreading that solution, we will simply incubate these plates at 37 degree centigrade for 24 hours in order to take the growth of lactobacillus species. So let's begin with this experiment. Get these plates at 37 degree centigrade for 24 hours and after passing 24 hours, we will observe the growth. So students, after 24 hours incubation, you can clearly observe the growth of lactobacillus in Petri plates.


Hey folks, so this is my last video as far as I'm aware of information that I obtained about Tears of the Kingdom from multiple sources. First off, big shout out to Mike Odyssey who was the original source and all of this stuff. He made a video with everything sort of combined. I will put that link down in the description like I've done in all my prior videos. I also went ahead and got this information confirmed from a second source. Of course, we can't really even talk about who these sources are just to protect people and make sure people don't lose their jobs. This information seems to be true. Obviously, I don't have firsthand knowledge of this stuff. It's second hand, but it is stuff that does seem extremely plausible which is why we've been talking about it. Obviously, we talked about the GameStop stuff and the Tears of the Kingdom Switch OLED thing. We have a little link down in the description to that video yesterday. We then went ahead and talked about how the game might have dungeons and stuff like that. And then the final video we did yesterday that you might have missed was about just some other aspects of the game including Link's new abilities and some information about that. Just kind of how you obtain them, not necessarily new information about how they work. Today, though, we actually have some new stuff that you might have figured out by watching the trailer, but it might not be obvious because it wasn't confirmed. And this has to do with basically weapon crafting. Yes, folks, weapon crafting is in the game. So let's get into the information I have. First off, the blue flames that we saw at the ancient tech labs in Breath of the Wild are completely gone. They might be using some sort of different energy to power the labs if the labs are used at all. But yeah, the blue flames are gone. No idea why, hopefully there's some story explanation in the game for why the blue flames have gone away. The green spirals that we've actually seen in the latest trailer that appear in different areas of Hyrule are actually warp points. So if you remember, in Breath of the Wild, you would unlock a shrine, without even beating the shrine, you could warp to it, or you could warp to various towers. These are just some of the warp points that exist in the game. They're not, I guess, what people were speculating that those are points where you get in there and it shoots you up to the sky. Well, each one of these spiral points seem to be around key locations, which seems to make sense that these would just be the replacement for warp points from shrines. So I do think that that's really, really interesting. I have no idea how we obviously unlock these warp points, but that appears to be what they are. Now, there were repairs of parts of Hyrule done in the time jump that we talked about earlier that exist between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. And this is before Ganondorf does his thing with the Blood Moon. Specifically, the sources said that there are some repairs in the Great Plateau area. Look, we just gotta wait till we get the game to confirm that stuff, but it would make sense if there were some repairs happening to Hyrule before things went bad again. Now we get into the actual crafting aspect of this game. And here we get to talk about first the Bokeblins and the Moblins and stuff. You can kinda infer this stuff already, but when you look at their horns and you look at the stuff jutting out of their head, it starts to look a lot more like parts of weapons and blades and various things. So when you beat them, they not only drop their typical monster parts, they also drop those parts that are used for weapons, crafting and all of that. That's really, really interesting. The weapon crafting is actually pretty advanced because you can even customize your arrows with different monster parts. One such thing we actually saw apparently was when he shot that homing arrow, that homing arrow actually had an eye on the end of it and it was the eye chasing the enemy. So really interesting idea and I wonder what other custom arrows were able to make. I mean, I assume we still have ice fire, bomb arrows, electric arrows, but I'm very curious like what we can do with monster parts and arrows. I think that's a really neat evolution. And yes, folks, I have heard that breakable weapons are still a thing. I'm sorry, I know a lot of people were hoping it would go away, but with our ability to craft weapons, I wasn't able to get this confirmed, but it would be nice if they added the ability to obviously repair them. Again, this was not from our sources. They just said we could craft the weapons and breakable weapons are still a thing, but I would love the ability to repair. If we can craft weapons, why can't we repair weapons? I really hope that's something that they decide to explore in this game. Another custom weapon we saw that you can build was that cannon weapon when Link slams it down and it shoots at the stone talus. Look, these are just obvious things that you might think you've already figured out, but technically weren't confirmed. I'm just kind of throwing it out there. Look, this information is really interesting to me that we even have this information coming out. I can't wait for Nintendo's next trailer. I can't wait for them to announce the Tears of the Kingdom's Patrol led, which I think is pretty obvious at this point. It should be announced next month. Pre-order should be being taken next month because Splatoon and Pokemon had about a 70 day announcement period for their special editions, OLEDs. So it should make sense there. Also, I'm just excited for Tears of the Kingdom. Look, I've been making a ton of Tears of the Kingdom videos and it kind of feels like I just can't get away from it. I love it. I have a lot of other news I wanna talk about. So later today, we will have another video coming out that is gonna feature other news happening in the Nintendo world because there's quite a bit. Heck, maybe we even throw in some news happening outside of Nintendo because there's just a lot of stuff happening. And I feel like, oh, I've made for like two, three weeks now with Tears of the Kingdom content and that's awesome and amazing. I told you guys we were gonna have a ton of Tears of the Kingdom content heading into the release of the game. But now I feel like we need to step back a bit and start getting the rest of the news covered because I feel like I'm falling behind. And I don't like falling behind. I wanna keep you guys updated on the latest and greatest in gaming, specifically Nintendo. And I feel like some of you guys that rely on my channel for most of your news might be missing out on the fact that there is actually a lot of other news happening that isn't related to Zelda. I'm a Zelda guy, so I tend to focus on the Zelda when I have to. So it's time to get back into all the other great stuff happening around the big N. I wanna thank you guys for obviously tuning in. Let me know if you've been enjoying these Tears of the Kingdom videos. Again, I don't expect to have any more exclusive sort of news like this or semi-exclusive shared news with Mike Odyssey. This is just one of those things that I just happened to be fortunate this time around. I've had early access to Zelda news before reporting on stuff like about the Skyward Sword story back in my Zelda Informer days. We got information on that pretty much like four months before the game came out and we shared it and people called me a liar and then it ended up being true. So that's just the way it goes. Every now and then I'll get information like this. But you guys let me know what you think about the in totality collection of Tears of the Kingdom news we've had since the actual trailer at the Nintendo Direct, the things since, the screenshots, the official art, what the hell is that new slate that Zelda's holding, that the official Zelda team on their Twitter account wanted us to take note of. Does that mean she's playable? That's a whole thing we haven't even talked about. We've talked about how maybe she dies, but is she playable before she dies? Is she playable after she dies? What is happening? I have no idea. You guys give me your thoughts and theories all about Tears of the Kingdom down in the comments below and I will respond to the ones that I find to be the most interesting. Thank you guys for tuning in and I'll catch you in that next video.


Man, for not having slept in three days, I look pretty good. As many of you know, I haven't been sleeping well. And to give some background, I took a drug called Accutane like eight years ago and that damages your liquor. It's essentially concentrated vitamin A. The sleeping issue specifically started 2018, around March, after I got back from shooting season nine of the TV show MasterChef. When I was out there, and I didn't really think about this, I took Tylenol and Advil like clockwork for about a week and a half straight. And I stuck to the recommended dosages. I never exceeded the dosages on the medication, but that probably exacerbated and compromised my liver health, especially considering I was on Accutane in the past. And this drug Accutane is actually the reason I started the carnivore diet in the first place. Before I stopped producing the enzymes, I needed to break down carbohydrates. I used to eat sweet potatoes, rice, fruit as a bodybuilder, and my body just wasn't digesting it anymore. So there's definitely some long-term damage that has compromised my digestive system from this drug. And I decided to finally get some blood work and figure out what was going on, why I can't sleep. I'm always mindful of vitamin synergy. The importance of balancing fat-soluble vitamins A, D3, and K2. Problem is, it's not always that simple. These nutrients have complex interactions and other precursors. Despite all of this speculation, how my body was responding to taking vitamin D, vitamin A, like eating liver, or taking your vitamin D3 supplement, it's very hard to gauge which one you are deficient in. For those of you that don't know, the laws in the New York tri-state area are very strict regarding doctors and blood work. A doctor has to write the script regardless of what it is. You can't order it online, you can't pay out of pocket for itself, and you're considering my health insurance and I don't really have a doctor I can trust. Had a very hard time getting this blood work done. That's why it took so long. So starting with vitamin B12, my levels were 1483 on a scale of 232 to 1245. This is what vegans usually brag about having a high B12 level. It doesn't really matter because vitamin B12 is water soluble. So if you fasted for a few days, then this number would go down drastically. And not really what I was looking for, but I got it tested anyway. Vitamin A retinol was 50.6 on a scale of 18.9 to 57.3. Towards the high end of normal, nothing crazy. And this is what we were concerned about because Accutane is vitamin A. It's supposed to damage the liver by causing it to store large amounts of vitamin A. I thought this number was going to be a lot higher. So this doesn't seem like an issue on paper. But vitamin A and vitamin D3 are antagonistic. And my vitamin D3 is 37.2 on a scale of 32100. Ideally, in the context of my high vitamin A level, this should be at least 65 to 70, possibly even higher to be in line with slightly elevated serum retinol. Keep in mind, I have been avoiding any high vitamin A food for the past few months. I haven't eaten any liver. I've also been tanning every single day this summer. So I'm sure several months back, the discrepancy between my vitamin A and vitamin D was even more severe. If I have to guess, my serum retinol was definitely above the safe reference range and my vitamin D might have been as low as 15, 20 or 25. So far what I've been doing over the past few months has been correcting this to some degree. But I definitely have to start supplementing the vitamin D3 again and continue to avoid any super high vitamin A foods. So another speculation I had was that my zinc to copper levels were imbalanced. My serum copper was 118 on a scale of 75 to 166. And my zinc was 663 on a scale of 440 to 860. So both are in the safe reference range. But just like vitamins A and D3, zinc and copper are antagonistic. The ratio is supposed to be at least 8 parts zinc to 1 part copper. Problem is that this serum mineral level in your blood isn't always an indicator of tissue levels so I don't know whether to trust this or not. But if we were going by this, my copper is a bit high and my zinc is a bit low. And the high liver consumption that I was eating before giving it a break explained this. I actually remember when I was still bartending in 2017, I bought two cases of foie gras which for those of you who don't know, it's fatty duck liver to delicacy. I literally ate like a pound and a half of liver a day for like three months straight which is absolutely insane and crazy. And that would actually explain why my copper and my vitamin A were potentially so out of whack. I followed the carnivore diet for six years and everything was fine but then I went crazy with a non-natural amount of liver. Moving on to iron, levels were normal, 315 in the reference range of 250 to 450 but that is blood levels of iron. Ferritin cellular iron was high, 470 on a scale of 30 to 400 and some of you might be familiar with hemochromatosis which is iron overload in the cells. This serum ferritin level is indicative of that but it's not that simple. Serum ferritin can be elevated in people with liver damage or just inflammation in the body. This is not necessarily an indicator that I am consuming too much iron and if you look up the symptoms for hemochromatosis, heart palpitations and insomnia, this is hitting the nail on the head to some degree. So what I can do is get some blood drawn and that should lower my serum ferritin to some degree. The thing is if this is being caused by vitamin A driven liver damage, this wouldn't address the root cause, this can just alleviate the symptoms in the meantime. So I'm going to try to make some sense of all of this. We need to address the vitamin A to vitamin D3 ratio, the copper to zinc balance and certainly the high ferritin levels. How this started gives a hypothetical solution. What triggered my insomnia at that point in February and March was consuming dairy. Yes, when I came back from MasterChef I wasn't sleeping well but I tried some raw dairy and it just blew everything out of control. I couldn't sleep for weeks, it was insane. I'm assuming the vitamin A content of the dairy threw my vitamin A to vitamin D ratio off even further because the amount of vitamin A in dairy is substantially higher than what I would normally consume in just meat. Also, calcium inhibits zinc absorption, making the copper toxicity worse. So I'm assuming, oh I might not have been having too many problems related to vitamin A at that time over a year ago, although I probably did. I think the copper toxicity was a lot worse. The real problem here is that I never detoxed my liver from Accutane. I know I joke a lot about detoxing but this is actually legitimate. We've said several times that Accutane is concentrated retinal, concentrated vitamin A, a synthetic form, it accumulates in the liver and it has been said that some people become unable to detox vitamin A as a result of taking this drug, being permanently damaged. I don't believe that, but whether that's true or not, I guess I'm going to find out. So to detox vitamin A, I have to obviously avoid foods like liver, which leaves me with lean muscle meat, which would be fine, but now I have this high ferritin issue, so I should be avoiding red meat and the iron content, even though red meat isn't too high in iron, especially compared to shellfish and organ meats. Consuming anything like dairy or fish is much lower in iron, but can't do dairy because of the vitamin A content. We also have vitamin D3, which is antagonistic to vitamin A. So if I start supplementing vitamin D3 again, that will lower my vitamin A. I could also go to the tanning salon, that will help that a little bit. And of course, what I think caused all of these issues in the first place was the lack of magnesium and vitamin K2 in my diet that is needed for vitamin D3 absorption. So I guess I had a lack of vitamin D3 throughout the past year or so, but I was tanning and I was using a vitamin D3 supplement on occasion. I just think my body wasn't utilizing the vitamin D3 because I was deficient, definitely in vitamin K2, possibly in magnesium. Our modern lack of soil quality, how we're raising our foods has depleted a lot of the nutrients, especially magnesium and vitamin K2. So despite me consuming some of the highest quality animal foods I have access to, I've still been unable to balance my nutrients properly. It's impossible to go overboard on vitamin K2 and I definitely wasn't consuming enough fermented foods. The amount of vitamin K2 in liver is definitely not enough and considering I'm ingesting large amounts of vitamin A, large amounts of vitamin D3, you need the vitamin K synergy to utilize those nutrients. So I want you guys to know that just because you're following a nutrient-dense animal-based diet, you still need to get a lot of sun, you still need to take a vitamin D3 supplement, you still need to be very conscious of your K2 intake and even if you're eating a lot of egg yolks that do have vitamin K2, egg yolks do have vitamin A which does counteract the vitamin K2. So the presence of fermented foods like raw high-quality cheeses, any type of fermented meat, fermented animal product needs to be present in the diet in fairly large amounts. But how does this apply to you? I can't say it does. Out of the hundreds of clients I've had, I have never seen one person with an issue like mine and that's probably because I haven't consulted anyone that has taken Accutane and had Accutane-induced liver damage. If you guys are questioning how much of these nutrients you should be taking in, I've done three videos that are very important. One is titled You Should Tan Naked, where I discuss vitamin D3 and taken dosage. Another is liver is a superfood, discussing nutrients in liver and the recommended amount, as well as why you need vitamin K2 and Mk4. This is part of the reason I despise doctors as well as the medical establishment in general. They have ruined the lives of everyone in my family to some degree just so they can buy their daughter a new Mercedes or have a yacht. Any person that has an MD after their name, in my experience, does not have good intentions. That's why they became a doctor in the first place. And, you know, everyone in my family has been damaged besides my brother. I'll probably have my mother tell her story sometime this week.  I had my liver destroyed because no one around me was able to educate me on a diet that could fix my acne. But I'd probably do it all again. Because without me taking that poisonous drug, I would have never created my YouTube channel, started the Carnivore diet, and improved the lives of tens of thousands of people. So with the bad comes the good. Hopefully things get a little bit better. So thank you guys for joining me today. You can please like the video, subscribe, hit that bell icon, share the video if you can. Listen, I've had people come directly to me and say, hey, should I take Accutane? I'm taking Accutane. And I tell them I literally will scream at them. I will curse at them. I'll tell them, do not take that drug. Do not take the drug. And no one listens to me. They still take it. And I'm sitting here eight years later wondering if I'm going to need a liver transplant. It's completely crazy. So if you guys do want to support me further, check out Frankie's free range meat. Looks like I'm going to be eating a lot of salmon roe in the future because it's low in iron. But again, that doesn't really apply to most people. You can also check out Frankie's Naturals, Minimal Ingredients, Minimally Processed, Hygiene and Cosmetic Products. Is that why I still glow after three days of not sleeping? Or was I just chiseled out of marble? Well, I guess at this point in time, I am forged out of iron with the levels of ferritin in my blood, right? I guess make a new statue for that one. Thanks again for joining me, guys. Enjoy the rest of your day.
