Outcome...

Fiber...

One study of 30 overweight women showed that eating eggs for breakfast significantly increased feelings of fullness and reduced food intake later in the day, compared to eating a bagel.

It resulted in 65 percent more weight loss and a 34 percent greater decrease in waist circumference over an eight-week period.

Bananas are high in fibre, which can help slimmers to keep fuller for longer. Unripe bananas also contain resist starch, which many help decrease food intake and belly fat.

A new study found that drinking a cup of coffee could actually help lose weight by stimulating “brown fat” - the fat in the body that keeps it warm by burning calories.

Oatmeal is low in calories, but high in fiber and protein, which may help increase weight loss. It also contains beta-glucan, which can decrease both blood sugar and appetite.

Best Month...

Wall Street wrapped up a roaring June and first half of the year as investors cheered the prospects of easier monetary policy from the Federal Reserve and awaited clarity on U.S.-China trade relations.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 7.2% this month, notching its best June performance since 1938, when it surged 24.3%. Caterpillar, Apple and Goldman Sachs drove the Dow's gains in June, rallying more than 12% each.

The S&P 500 posted its best first half of a year since 1997, soaring 17.3% and reaching an all-time high. All 11 of the S&P 500 sectors rose in the first half of the year, with tech rising more than 26% to lead the gains. Energy was the market's laggard in the first half, rising just 7.1%.

The VanEck Vector Semiconductor ETF (SMH)  one of the most widely followed ETFs for chip stocks skyrocketed more than 12% in June, notching its biggest one-month gain since September 2010.

Protest...

Recent Iowa polls show Sanders at about 15%, essentially in a three-person race for second place with Senator Elizabeth Warren and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg. That’s for a candidate who won half the vote there in 2016.

And while Sanders is faring somewhat better nationally, that’s mainly because almost all the other candidates remain unknown to voters. Only about 8% of Democrats say they’re definitely supporting Sanders. In other words, it’s entirely plausible that Sanders could fail to reach the delegate threshold in Iowa, Nevada, and South Carolina. Even if he stayed in, he probably wouldn’t be much of a factor.

What happened to the 43% of the vote he received in primaries and caucuses in 2016? Only a fraction of those votes came from dedicated Sanders fans, that is, people who really thought he should be president. Some of those voters wanted to push the party in a more liberal direction. Some thought they could send Hillary Clinton a message. Some just disliked Clinton. In short, it was clear at the time that a lot of Sanders votes were protest votes, and everything so far in 2020 confirms that he simply doesn’t have that many dedicated supporters. 
Just a thought.

Debate...

Declared...

An NBC News analyst declared President Trump the winner of the first Democratic presidential debate of the 2020 election cycle.  Author and reporter Jonathan Allen expressed surprise that Trump emerged "largely unscathed" as the field of 10 candidates mostly avoided direct attacks on him.

The Democrats seemed more focused on positioning themselves furthest to the left to win over primary voters, rather than appealing to the swing voters that decided the 2016 election.

"For long stretches, it seemed, they completely forgot about the man who has been at the center of pretty much every discussion among Democrats for the last two-plus years  the man they're competing to take on next year.

The motivation to beat each other was, on this night, more urgent than defeating Trump  a life-or-death moment for some of their campaigns. Trump was the chief beneficiary of that dynamic," Allen wrote.

The sentiment was shared by MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, who said it was “a missed opportunity” for Democrats to not go after frontrunner Joe Biden or President Trump. Another MSNBC commentator, Donny Deutsch declared confidently after the debate that none of the 10 candidates on the stage could defeat Trump next year.

Passe...

Are you a young person thinking of moving to a happening city? Chances are New York is not even on your list of potential hotspots, and if you are already living there, then you are looking for a way out. 

The last dividends of 20 years of leadership under Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg are being squandered by well intentioned but increasingly radical policies.

Dragging business practices, skyrocketing taxes, telecommuting, and loss of special status is a toxic mix for New York. Among young people, New York is becoming passe. 

During recent years, both the city and the state of New York have lost residents, as waves of educated and high earning millennials have fled. In fact, more than 46 percent of New Yorkers of all ages moving out of the state are in the bracket earning above $150,000.

The Empire State budget is in near freefall, in no small part due to lower revenue from middle class and upper class workers, while growing states like Texas and Florida are in surplus. 

Governor Cuomo noted a $2.3 billion hole in the state budget earlier this year, caused largely by oppressive policies that have gutted the local population and economy. More than 450,000 people moved out of New York in the last year alone.

العياط‎

Mohamed Morsi  محمد مرسي العياط‎ ;  August 1951 – 17 June 2019), PhD, was an Egyptian politician and engineer who served as the fifth^[1] President of Egypt, from 30 June 2012 to 3 July 2013. An Islamist affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood organisation, he led the Freedom and Justice Party from 2011 to 2012.

 Studied at Cairo University and then at the University of Southern California. He became an associate professor at California State University, Northridge from 1982 to 1985 before returning to Egypt to teach at Zagazig University. Associating with the Muslim Brotherhood, which was then barred under President Hosni Mubarak,

Following the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, which resulted in Mubarak's resignation, Morsi came to the forefront as head of the Freedom and Justice Party. It became the largest party in the 2011-12 parliamentary election and Morsi was elected president in the 2012 election.

As president, Morsi issued a temporary constitutional declaration in November 2012 that in effect granted him unlimited powers and the power to legislate without judicial oversight or review of his acts as a pre-emptive move against the expected dissolution of the second constituent assembly by the Mubarak-era judges.^[3] The new constitution that was then hastily finalised by the Islamist-dominated constitutional assembly, presented to the president, and scheduled for a referendum before the Supreme Constitutional Court could rule on the constitutionality of the assembly, was described by independent press agencies not aligned with the regime as an "Islamist coup".^[4] These issues,^[5] along with complaints of prosecutions of journalists and attacks on nonviolent demonstrators,^[6]led to the 2012 protests.^[7][8]

In June 2013, protests calling for Morsi's resignation erupted. The military, backed by the political opposition and leading religious figures, stepped in and deposed Morsi in a coup. It suspended the constitution and appointed Adly Mansour as interim president.

Egyptian prosecutors charged Morsi with various crimes and sought the death penalty. His death sentence was overturned in November 2016 and a retrial ordered. Morsi died during trial on 17 June 2019.

ظُلْمَ الْفَقِيرِ Unfair

The supreme court has thrown out the murder conviction and death sentence of a black man in Mississippi.

The justices ruled 7-2 that the removal of black prospective jurors had deprived Curtis Flowers of a fair trial.

Of Flowers’ earlier trials, three convictions were thrown out, including one when the prosecutor improperly excluded African Americans from the jury. In his second trial, the judge chided Evans for disallowing a juror based on race. The other two ended when jurors could not reach unanimous verdicts. ( Six Trials )

“The numbers speak loudly,” Kavanaugh said, noting that Evans had removed 41 of the 42 prospective black jurors over the six trials. “We cannot ignore that history.”

إِنْ رَأَيْتَ ظُلْمَ الْفَقِيرِ وَنَزْعَ الْحَقِّ وَالْعَدْلِ فِي الْبِلاَدِ، فَلاَ تَرْتَعْ مِنَ الأَمْرِ، لأَنَّ فَوْقَ الْعَالِي عَالِيًا يُلاَحِظُ، وَالأَعْلَى فَوْقَهُمَا

The public has no interest for a war.\ and this is the president that listened to the people. He didn't have the militant assistant to convince him to start a war in Libya, Syria or Yemen. These were the previous administration.

The cost of one war to humanity is as follows: 10 million refugees, and 600,000 dead. in Syria alone.

Hypoactive...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Vyleesi (bremelanotide) to treat acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women.

The most common side effects are nausea and vomiting, flushing, injection site reactions and headache. About 40% of patients in the clinical trials experienced nausea, most commonly with the first Vyleesi injection, and 13% needed medications for the treatment of nausea. About 1% of patients reported darkening of the gums and parts of the skin, of the face and breasts, which did not go away in about half the patients after stopping treatment. Patients with dark skin were more likely to develop this side effect.

Vyleesi increased blood pressure after dosing, which usually resolved within 12 hours. Vyleesi should not be used in patients with high blood pressure that is uncontrolled or in those with known cardiovascular disease. 

Vyleesi may significantly decrease the levels of naltrexone in the blood.

The Glitch...

Dannemora is a town in Clinton County, New York. The population was 4,898 at the 2010 census. The town is named after Dannemora, Sweden, an important iron-mining region.

Prison seamstress Joyce Mitchell, pleaded guilty to helping two inmates escape, told investigators that she performed sexual acts on one of the men and sent X-rated selfies to the other and knew the duo planned to kill her husband, police documents show.

Mitchell told investigators that inmates Richard Matt and David Sweat nicknamed her husband, "the glitch" and gave her small round pills to drug him with.

" I was caught up in the fantasy," Mitchell said "I enjoyed the attention, the feeling both of them gave me and the thought of a different life."

After three weeks on the run near the Canadian border, Matt was shot and killed by law enforcement officers in Malone on June 26, while Sweat was shot and captured in nearby Constable on June 28.

Files...

Hundreds of illegal immigrants attempting to cross the southern border as part of massive migrant caravans were found to have criminal histories in the U.S., according to newly obtained Department of Homeland Security documents.

The DHS files were provided to House Oversight Committee included internal data showing more than 1,000 migrants traveling as part of caravans to the border within the past nine months had “U.S. criminal histories” and hundreds had “U.S. criminal convictions.”

One migrant caravan of nearly 8,000 individuals arrived south of California by December 2018. According to (ICE), 660 of them had U.S. criminal convictions—with 40 convicted of assault or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and three convicted of murder.

In January 2019,  another caravan that left Honduras with more than 3,300 migrants. ICE identified 860 of those individuals had U.S. criminal histories, including more than 20 convicted of assault or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, nearly 30 convicted of sexual offenses, two convicted of violence against law enforcement, and one convicted of attempted murder.

Deficit...

The “calories in versus calories out” model is based on the idea that to maintain a stable weight, the number of calories you eat needs to match the number you expend.

“Calories in” refers to the calories you get from the foods you eat, while “calories out” is the number of calories you burn.

There are three main bodily processes that burn calories: 
Metabolism, digestion, and physical activity

When the number of calories you take in from food matches the number of calories you burn to sustain your metabolism, digestion, and physical activity, your weight will remain stable.

Thus, the “calories in versus calories out” model is strictly true. You need a calorie deficit to lose weight.

Tonkin...

The Gulf of Tonkin Incident occurred in August 1964. North Vietnamese warships purportedly attacked United States warships, the U.S.S. Maddox and the U.S.S. C. Turner Joy, on two separate occasions in the Gulf of Tonkin, a body of water neighboring modern-day Vietnam. 

President Lyndon Baines Johnson claimed that the United States did nothing to provoke these two attacks and that North Vietnam was the aggressor. Subsequent reports show that the United States actually provoked these attacks by supporting South Vietnamese commandos operating in North Vietnam and by using U.S. warships to identify North Vietnamese radar stations along the coastline of North Vietnam. 

The official US Department of Defense figure was 950,765 communist forces killed in Vietnam from 1965 to 1974.  

The U.S. military has estimated that between 200,000 and 250,000 South Vietnamese soldiers died in the war. In 1982 the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated in Washington, D.C., inscribed with the names of 57,939 members of U.S. armed forces who had died or were missing as a result of the war.
