Here we are again, ready to close the door on another year and embrace a brand new one. I always feel a certain excitement about New Year's Eve. The fireworks are a thrill, but it's also the idea that there's a clean slate stretched out in front of me and endless possibilities about how the coming year will unfold. Resolutions are typically a part of most New Year's traditions. Somewhere on your list there may be a commitment to be healthier. With that in mind, I set out to find the Top 15 tips in nutrition, exercise and mental health to help you enjoy a fitter and happier 2015. NUTRITION ​A recent study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal shows 71 per cent of people in Newfoundland and Labrador will be obese or overweight by the year 2019. I don't know about you, but I find that prediction to be alarming. Obesity can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and even cancer. Our hospitals are already bursting at the seems. What will they be like in 2019? That's the scary bad news. The good news is that changing what you eat can bring about dramatic improvements in health. Tara Antle has seen it happen. Antle is a nutritionist in St. John's and has been working in the field of nutrition for the past decade. I asked her for her top five tips for better food choices and eating habits. 1. A balanced diet Antle says eating too much of one thing or not enough of another can cause a lot of problems for people. Her advice? Have a good variety on your plate every time you eat. "Ideally, what we want to aim for, as a visual, when you look at your plate, you want to make sure half that plate is vegetables, a quarter is protein and a quarter is your starch." 2. Thirsty? Drink water Antle says to avoid sugary drinks and keep pop and coffee to a minimum. She also says flavoured water is no substitute for the real thing. 'Ideally, what we want to aim for, as a visual, when you look at your plate, you want to make sure half that plate is vegetables, a quarter is protein and a quarter is your starch.' - Nutritionist Tara Antle "I think it's really important we get some good old fashioned water back into our systems. Ideally, 2 to 2.5 litres of water a day. The No. 1 trigger for daytime fatigue is lack of water. Dehydration can cause headaches, muscle cramps, things like that as well." 3. Avoid "free" products Antle recommends reducing fat-free, sugar-free and salt-free products. "A lot of times we think that those products are a lot healthier. If something is taken out of a product, something else is added back in. Sometimes with fat-free products there's excessive amounts of sodium added back in. "Sugar-free products are pretty trendy right now because everyone wants to avoid sugar. Typically, I try to avoid sugar-free products and 'no sugar' products as well, things like aspartame, sucralose and saccharin." Antle says recent studies show artificial sweeteners can actually increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. 4. Eat well, eat Often Antle says we should be eating smaller meals every two to three hours throughout the day. "When we go outside the three-hour window of not eating, the body actually switches gears and goes into starvation mode. When we're in starvation mode, it can make us feel tired, lethargic, cranky, irritable, a bit of brain fog sets in. It can actually increase the appetite and actually increase sugar cravings and increase the appetite so it makes us overeat as well. " 5. Check your source If you're going to make a lifestyle change, Antle says to educate yourself. "A lot of times we're following trends and fads it could be something that a celebrity put out. Double-check the credentials of the person who is actually delivering the message to you, because it could be something that I heard through the grapevine, it could be the push on the sale of a product." EXERCISE If you plan on getting moving in 2015, here's another disturbing fact that might motivate you even more: according to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among Canadian men and women. One-quarter of cardiovascular disease related deaths are the direct result of inactivity or lack of exercise. Mike Wahl is director of fitness at Definitions Gym in St. John's. Wahl has advice for sticking with an effective fitness plan. 6. Slow and steady wins the race Wahl says too many people push too hard, too fast when starting an exercise routine. "When you give somebody a program that is too intense for them, it actually puts their body under more stress than they need and they actually get a lack of return." Wahl says to start at a comfortable level and slowly work your way up over time. 7. Maximize effort — use big muscles Too many people waste time when they're at the gym," explains Wahl. He says the idea is to do as much as you can in a short period of time and to do that, you should use large muscle groups. 'When you give somebody a program that is too intense for them, it actually puts their body under more stress than they need and they actually get a lack of return.' - Fitness expert Mike Wahl "When you are in there, don't stick to small muscle groups. You see people in there training their biceps and their arms and they spend a full hour doing that. "I would suggest why not train a full body type program where you're using big muscles like your legs and then you go and you do big muscles like your chest and your back and you do a variety, when your legs are tired you can then exercise another muscle while they're actively recovering." Wahl says larger muscles require more energy and so working them increases your metabolism to a greater degree. 8. Variety If you do the same exercises at the gym every time, your body will get overused. "Make sure you do a variety, that you use the machines one day, you try free weights another day, you use body weight another day. It keeps you more engaged and it's more entertaining because you're not doing the same thing, it's not as boring," says Wahl. 9. Fuel your body Eating before a workout is critical. Mike Wahl says if you don't fuel up, your body will actually use muscle mass as energy to get you through a workout. "When you lose muscle mass you lower your metabolism, that actually is counter active and you might actually gain weight." Eating after a workout is equally as important. "Protein repairs muscles so make sure that your breakfast or your next meal has a protein source." 10. Get advice To avoid injury, Mike Wahl suggests talking to an expert about a fitness program before you start. MENTAL WELLNESS If keeping a positive outlook in 2015 is on your resolution list, there are many ways to exercise mental wellness and for good reason. The Canadian Mental Health Association says one in five Canadians will experience mental illness in their lifetime, eight per cent will experience a major depression. The CMHA offers lifestyle tips for improving mental health. Maureen Ennis says it was lifestyle change that helped her come out of a dark period. Ennis is a well-known singer/songwriter in Newfoundland and Labrador. Ennis also struggles with depression. 11. Eat well and exercise Exercise boosts energy and lowers anxiety. Maureen Ennis says she used to eat a lot of processed food and chose to eliminate it from her diet. As for exercise, she tries to walk for an hour everyday. "I don't have to go overboard but I feel really good at the end of that walk for a lot of reasons, I'm inspired. I think everybody needs to take an hour or two for themselves everyday. "It keeps my depression at bay." 12. Get enough sleep Sleeping well makes it easier to cope with stress, concentrate and think positively. Ennis says she used to be a night owl. She says changing her sleeping habit was a key part of coping with depression. "I realized I'm not getting any vitamin D. I sleep all day and I'm up all night and that was causing a big issue with my depression." 13. Connect with others The CMHA says it's important to reach out to people in our lives who support us, celebrate our successes and help us deal with our problems. 'I sleep all day and I'm up all night and that was causing a big issue with my depression.' - Musician Maureen Ennis Maureen Ennis says her sisters provide her with a lot of encouragement. "Sometimes, you know, just finding someone to talk to about a problem or talk it out and get some perspective on it is so important and just connecting with people sometimes just makes things feel not so heavy." 14. Volunteer Being involved in community groups can give you a sense of purpose and satisfaction that paid work cannot. Ennis says anytime she volunteers time to raise money for a worthy cause, the payoff is a huge boost in self-worth. "There's a sense of accomplishment and you feel proud of just making the world a little better. That alone, just getting outside those thoughts in your head that you're not worth something, you are. Everyone can offer something to someone else." 15. Share humour and laugh more Ennis says she thinks people often take themselves too seriously. She describes herself as a perfectionist, but has learned to relax. "You need to be able to brush off a mistake and know that you need to make mistakes to get better. We're not supposed to be perfect." I think everyone would agree perfection is a hard goal to reach, especially when it comes to healthy living.

Graphics hardware supplier Nvidia announced at SIGGRAPH 2014 the immediate availability of their Nvidia Visual Computing Appliance (VCA). The Nvidia VCA is the company's network attached GPU accelerated rendering appliance designed to make ultra high performance rendering power available over a network to multiple client workstations. Under Nvidia's remote graphics architecture the VCA handles all of the rendering while the client is used to deliver the display and user input information over the network. This architecture has the advantage of co-locating the processing power and the graphics data so the time consuming task of copying very large files to a graphics workstation is eliminated. The Nvidia VCA features 8 Nvidia high-end GPUs each with: 12GB of RAM per GPU, 23,040 CUDA cores, 256 GB of system memory, an Intel Xeon E5 CPU running at 2.8 GHz, 2TB of SSD storage in a 4U enclosure with 2 1GigE, 2 10GigE, and 1 Infiniband network interfaces. The Linux CentOS-based VCA's computing power coupled with supported rendering software, either Nvidia IRay or Chaos Group V-Ray RT, promise to enhance graphics workflow, allowing designers to see photo-realistic imagery rendered in speeds up to real time. Nvidia is working closely with software vendors to allow the VCA to work with industry standard software such as Autodesk 3ds Max and Maya, McNeel Rhino, Dassault Systemes 3DXCite Bunkspeed and Sketchup. NVIDIA Visual Computing Appliance As an example of the system's capabilities, Nvidia mentions French automaker Renault. Using the VCA and IRay, Maya designers were able to do real time visualization of the car designs for executive review. Another example was of a filmmaker who was able to cut down rendering time of a 4k stereo frame from 9.5 hours to 14 minutes using Chaos V-Ray RT on the VCA. The included VCA Manger software allows the system administrator to manage VCA users and their access to computing resources of the VCA, called VCA pools. Different users can be granted differing levels of access to the VCA's resources. Through a browser-based interface, a VCA user can reserve and release VCA pools. Individual VCAs can be disabled by an administrator if problems arise, allowing VCA pool availability to continue undisturbed. The Nvidia Visual Computing Appliance is available immediately in the US through IGI and GPL Technologies.

Today we're showcasing a selection of free security and anti-malware apps, tools and utilities to keep your Windows PC running safe and smooth. Everyone wants a secure operating system. No one likes to have a computer infected with malware that slows down the PC, destroys files or steals sensitive information. Often, that operating system isn't very secure by default. If it's also a highly po[CENSORED]r OS, such as Windows, then more tools are needed to enhance its security, simply because its default defenses will be targeted and bypassed by more attackers. There's no security magic bullet, but using multiple layers of security can drastically lower the chance that your system will become infected by malware or be attacked by malicious hackers. Some security tools are free, some are easy to use and others are so complex that a normal PC user couldn't possibly figure them out. What most PC users want is for their system to be protected "automatically" with minimal effort on their part. They don't want to tinker too much with complicated programs, and they would prefer not to pay too much extra to secure their computers. I often help friends and family — usually, people who aren’t very technical — set up their new PCs and Windows installations. They always seem to ask me to "install an antivirus" as well. They know that there needs to be some "extra" protection on their PC to truly keep them safe, but they don't really understand what exactly is needed to achieve that. Therefore, they ask for a program that everyone knows protects PCs against "bad stuff" — an antivirus. What they really mean, though, is that they want their PCs to be safe, regardless of which app or tool achieves that, as long as they don't have to bother with it after everything is set up. As such, I've looked for tools that offer as much protection as possible that are accessible by the vast majority of people. (It helps that the tools I've chosen are also free.) In fact, most of the tools I'm going to mention require only slight or no tinkering at all after installation, or are very easy to use even by nontechnical users. Some more advanced and complex software may offer stronger protections, but if the users don't understand how to use it properly, or they don't want to take the time to learn how to do it, they might just end up uninstalling it to save themselves the headaches.

No matter how fast your processor and regardless of how much ram you carry, there comes a time when you realize your computer just doesn't run as fast as it did when you bought it. Windows loads slower, programs take longer to launch, and, in general, your computer drags like it just came off a 2-night drinking binge. If this sounds like your situation, these 5 tips should help you get some extra speed from your PC. Disk Cleanup Utility You may not realize it, but just because you finish with a file doesn't mean your computer does. In many cases, if your computer's hard drive were a garage, you would have unused junk files piled 20 feet high and spilling out into the street. Everyone should use the Windows "Disk Cleanup Utility" to delete old, unused, and temporary files that clog your hard drive. Click Start, point at All Programs (or Programs), Accessories, System Tools, and click Disk Cleanup. Analyze your hard drive for files you can eliminate and it may shock you to see how much hard drive space (and speed) you can free up with a few clicks. Defrag Imagine a properly maintained hard drive as room the size of Wal-Mart filled with filing cabinets. Now imagine ripping open every drawer of every filing cabinet, slinging the contents onto the floor and trying to find one document -that's a fragmented hard drive. Sometimes lack of speed simply results from your computer working too hard to find the files it needs. You can solve this problem by "defragging" your hard drive. Click Start, point to All Programs (or Programs), Accessories, System Tools, and click Disk Defragmentor. Choose the disk you want to defragment and expect to let the program run for several hours. Uninstall Unused Software We all maintain software on our systems we rarely, if ever, use. That software can steal system resources. Click Start, Control Panel, and "Add Remove Programs" to pull up a screen that allows you to remove old programs you don't use anymore. Simply select and uninstall all programs you know for sure you don't need or want. Buy More RAM Increasing your RAM, a computer's memory, can dramatically increase speed when running certain operations or programs. RAM costs so little now that you should install the maximum amount of memory your system can handle. Stop Them At Startup This operation requires a bit more technical savvy than the other four, so proceed with caution. Many programs load into the system tray in the lower right of your computer's desktop and consume system resources even if you never use them. Click Start, Run, type in msconfig, and press Enter. Click the "Startup" tab to see a list of programs that automatically start with Windows. Clear the check box next to programs you know you don't want to load at startup. But don't clear any checkbox unless you are 100% certain of a program's purpose. Once you finish, click OK and it will prompt you to restart Windows.

UNITED NATIONS — Under mounting pressure from United Nations officials who warn of the risk of an imminent famine, the Saudi-backed Yemeni government said it expected a pause in the fighting to be declared to allow for the delivery of humanitarian aid, a government minister said Thursday. Abdullah M. al-Saidi, a former ambassador to the United Nations and now a minister in the Yemeni government in exile, said Thursday in an interview that a temporary halt was likely to be announced as early as Friday. A Saudi-led coalition began airstrikes in late March after the government of Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi was ousted by advancing Houthi rebels. “I think it’s very likely, but the concern is the Houthis,” Mr. Saidi said. “I think we will see a pause.” But Sana, the Yemeni capital, came under some of the heaviest bombing in weeks from the Saudi-led coalition early on Friday, residents said. The airstrikes, which started shortly after 1 a.m., struck near a mountaintop military base that the coalition has bombed on hundreds of occasions over the last three months; another military storage depot, close to a hospital; and a residential area in the north of the capital. There was no immediate word on casualties. The United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, and his mediator for the Yemen crisis, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, have been calling for a humanitarian truce for the holy month of Ramadan, which began in mid-June. If a pause is agreed to, it will be a small but significant victory in the delicate diplomatic efforts to push Saudi Arabia to let up the airstrikes long enough for food and fuel to be delivered. Four out of five Yemenis are in need of some sort of humanitarian assistance, and on Wednesday, the United Nations officially added the Yemen crisis to its list of the world’s most severe humanitarian emergencies. Any pause in the fighting is likely to be fragile. The last time there was a truce, the Houthis were accused of exploiting it to reposition themselves. Western allies of Saudi Arabia have been loath to criticize the impact of the Saudi-led military operations, though the United States and Britain have nudged both sides to halt the fighting for the sake of alleviating hunger and disease. A fuel shortage has crimped the supply of electricity and stopped water pumps from functioning. Dengue fever has spread rapidly. Nearly half the provinces are “one step away” from famine, according to the United Nations.

Apple Inc., which has been working secretly on a car, is pushing its team to begin production of an electric vehicle as early as 2020, people with knowledge of the matter said. The timeframe -- automakers typically spend five to seven years developing a car -- underscores the project’s aggressive goals and could set the stage for a battle for customers with Tesla Motors Inc. and General Motors Co. Both automakers are targeting a 2017 release of an electric vehicle that can go more than 200 miles on a single charge and cost less than $40,000. “That’s the inflection point -- the proving ground -- that brings on the electric age,” Steve LeVine, author of “The Powerhouse,” a book about the automotive battery industry, said on Bloomberg TV Thursday. “Now you have Apple coming in and this is critical mass. Was GM really going to be able to match Tesla? Apple can.” Apple, which posted record profit of $18 billion during the past quarter, has $178 billion in cash with few avenues to spend it. The Cupertino, California-based company’s research and development costs were $6.04 billion in the past year, and Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook is facing increased pressure to return cash to shareholders. The CEO has been pushing the iPhone maker to enter new categories to further envelop users’ digital lives with Apple’s products and services. Apple’s possible foray into cars follows a similar path it’s taken to break into other industries. The company wasn’t the first to make a digital-music player or smartphone, and only entered those markets once it had a product that redefined those categories. Apple representatives declined to comment for this story. Car TeamTesla’s success in creating a startup car company has shown that the traditional barriers of entry into the auto industry aren’t as difficult to overcome as originally thought, said one person, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. At the same time, automakers have struggled to bring technical leaps to car development, something that Silicon Valley is also seeking to accomplish. For example, Google Inc. has invested in developing an autonomous vehicle since 2010. “Apple would have some advantages as a new entrant to the auto industry,” including its cash, ability to connect with its own devices and the infancy of the electric-vehicle market, Barclays analysts Ben Reitzes and Brian Johnson wrote in a note to investors. “Finally, Apple’s brand – arguably the most important advantage – is a big attraction for the next generation of car customers.” Apple may decide to scrap its car effort or delay it if executives are unhappy with progress, as they’ve done before with other secret projects, the people said. The car team, which already has about 200 people, began ramping up hiring within the past couple of months as the company sought out experts in technologies for batteries and robotics, said one of the people. Battery LawsuitAn experienced automaker typically spends five to seven years developing a new vehicle before bringing it to market, according to Dennis Virag, president of Automotive Consulting Group. “If you’re starting from scratch, you’re probably talking more like 10 years,” Virag said. “A car is a very complex technological machine.”7 A lawsuit filed this month gives a window into Apple’s efforts to create a automotive team for the project. Apple began around June an “aggressive campaign to poach” employees from A123 Systems LLC, the Waltham, Massachusetts-based battery maker said in the lawsuit. Apple hired five people from A123 and has tried to hire battery experts from LG Chem Ltd., Samsung Electronics Co., Panasonic Corp., Toshiba Corp. and Johnson Controls Inc., according to the lawsuit. “Apple is currently developing a large-scale battery division to compete in the very same field as A123,” the battery maker said in a separate state-court filing. The recent hiring effort at A123 began with Mujeeb Ijaz, a former Ford Motor Co. engineer, who founded A123’s Venture Technologies division, which focused on materials research, cell product development and advanced concepts. He began at Apple in June and began hiring direct reports from A123’s venture technologies division, which he had headed. Tesla CEO Elon Musk told Bloomberg Businessweek this month that Apple was seeking to hire away his workers, offering $250,000 signing bonuses and 60 percent salary increases. Bricks and Mortar“Apple is good at developing technology but car making is, and will continue to be, a bricks-and-mortar proposition,” Matt DeLorenzo, an analyst at Kelley Blue Book, wrote in an e-mail. “Apple will need a partner, perhaps a Chinese manufacturer, with an infrastructure if it’s going to hit the five-year goal.” Some parts of the automotive industry seem unfazed by Silicon Valley’s increasing interest in the market. Last month, before Apple’s efforts were revealed, Volkswagen AG Chief Executive Officer Martin Winterkorn brushed off the increasing competition. “We’re not afraid of these new competitors,” Winterkorn said at a reception outside Stuttgart, Germany, according to a transcript obtained by Bloomberg. “The opposite is true: they encourage us to look more intensively into the chances of the digital world.”

“Fire is what set us apart. But that fire is on the verge of burning us.” Living in the modern world is making us sick. That’s the conclusion drawn by Dr. Pedram Shojai, OMD after many years of treating patients for the same lifestyle-induced illnesses, over and over again. This realization inspired him on a four-year mission to produce a film that might help “wake us all up.” Dr. Shojai partnered with South American filmmaker Mark van Wijk to produce the documentary “Origins,”1 a broad exploration of the intrinsic connection between our health and the vitality of our planet, and how our modern lifestyle is out of synch with our DNA. The film features 24 great minds in the fields of anthropology, medicine, ecology and health, including David Wolfe, Jeffrey Smith and Sara Gottfried, M.D. Not only is it very informative but also beautifully filmed. “Origins” takes us back to our human roots when we lived as one with the earth. Plugging Back into the Earth“The bushman lives his life in nature... the earth, the sun, the wind. This is a wilderness person who respects nature. This is where we make our lives in order to live together with nature.” -!’Aru Ikhuisi Piet Berendse, Bushman and Activist While we were developing as a species, we lived in tune with the earth, but that connection has been all but lost. Once we plugged into technology, we unplugged from our planet. Most people feel profoundly different when they leave the city to spend just a few days in nature, gaining an appreciation of just how disengaged they’ve become. This is why grounding is so powerful. We are besieged by constant messages that in order to be happy, we need more stuff, but in reality, we have only four basic human needs: water, fire, food, and shelter. The modern world wants to brainwash you into thinking you need much more than that, but in reality, the rest are only “wants.” All of this “stuff” has weakened your relationship with the earth. The Native Americans were highly attuned to nature. They took care of the earth and it took care of them. They lived symbiotically with the planet instead of as parasites upon it, with reverence rather than disregard. They would sit in one spot listening to the noises the birds were making, sensing the direction of the wind, atmospheric changes and so on, and this mindfulness informed them of what their next move should be. As Above, So BelowWhat allowed us to pull to the head of the pack was fire, making it possible to grow bigger brains that gave us tools, then eventually science and technology. Our ability to wield fire put us into orbit and gave us the internet and all its benefits. We became Top Dog—but also Top Bully. The unfortunate corollary to humanity’s greatness has unfortunately been tendencies toward arrogance and shortsightedness. Technology has vastly outpaced our common sense, and we’ve developed a dangerous disregard for long-term consequences for ourselves and the ecosystem in which we live. Both are sounding alarms, and it’s questionable whether we’re hearing them. Greek philosopher Hermes Trismegistus had a famous axiom: “As above, so below.” This can be applied to the relationship between humans and the earth—microcosm and macrocosm are reflections of each other. What we see on a large scale will inevitably show up on a small scale, and vice versa. Our ailing bodies, ailing soils, disappearing species and their habitats are all symptoms of one pervasive problem: a planet that’s becoming more toxic with each passing day. Ignoring its warning calls may place humans next in line for extinction. Humanity and Earth Cry Out... But Is Anyone Listening?The US is now producing and importing 74 billion pounds of chemicals each day—that’s 250 pounds per person, per day. And that figure doesn’t even include pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fuels, and food additives. Most of these chemicals have never been tested for their effects on human health, yet we consume them daily. What on earth are we doing to ourselves? In 2013, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization (WHO), deemed air pollutants a class 1 carcinogen.2 It’s projected that air pollution will be the number one cause of death globally by 2050, largely because of our dependence on fossil fuels. Six billion pounds of bisphenol-A (BPA) is produced each year, leaving our planet literally choking on plastics. BPA, phthalates, and other pseudo estrogens are hijacking our hormones, disrupting the endocrine function of our entire species. The average baby is now born with 287 chemicals in their body—before they even takes their first breath. We’ve reached the point at which the signals from endocrine disrupting chemicals in our children’s bodies are louder than the signals they’re getting from their own natural hormones. We used to be naturally lean and strong but have become progressively more obese and weaker. Our bodies are so busy detoxifying that they frequently lack adequate resources to perform basic biological processes. Is it any wonder that humanity has become so sick? When a species is healthy, nature rewards it with fertility, but studies show that human fertility is waning. One of every four couples worldwide is unable to conceive due to problems with conception and miscarriage. Fertility is a leading indicator for the health of an organism, so the fact that one in eight of us are not healthy enough to reproduce is a major clue. Your Inner Ecosystem: The Interface with the WorldThere is no more poignant illustration of your connection to the world around you than your microbiome, or “inner ecosystem.” The long tube running through you from your mouth to your anus is the interface between you and the outside world, and the seat of your immunity—health and disease start in your gut. But this vital system is being severely disrupted by our modern lifestyle. Infants are literally bathed in beneficial microorganisms during childbirth, which they receive from their mothers as they pass through the birth canal—it’s a baby’s “first inoculation,” potentially providing lifelong immunity. However, babies born by C-section do not receive this natural inoculation. Kids who were deprived of a vaginal birth are showing all kinds of diseases, including asthma and autoimmune disorders. Infants receive another microbial boost from breast milk, but of course those fed infant formula miss out on this too. Making matters worse, infants and children are prescribed antibiotics periodically throughout childhood, are discouraged from playing in the dirt and then doused in hand sanitizer. This “sanitized childhood” prevents kids from developing natural immunity, and their bodies fail to po[CENSORED]te with the beneficial microbes that grow into an army of protection from illness. Antibiotics have essentially led to the “mass extinction” of our beneficial gut flora, resulting in dysbiosis (an imbalance in your microbiome) and all of the health problems that accompany it. Your DNA Is Largely Controlled by Your Gut FloraAn abnormal microbiome is a factor behind inflammation, food cravings, obesity, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and many of the other chronic diseases seen today. When your gut flora is unhealthy, leaky gut syndrome can develop whereby food particles leach into your bloodstream where they can trigger allergic and inflammatory responses. An abnormal microbiome can also lead to depression and other emotional and physical problems, because your gut bacteria provide a significant source of your amino acids, vitamins and other important compounds. Three major ones are ATP, tryptophan and serotonin. Beneficial bacteria also play an enormous role in your genetic expression—continuously helping flip genes off and on as you need them. Your genetic expression is 50 to 80 percent controlled by how you eat, think and move, and your genes change daily—if not hourly. You may be surprised to learn that 140 times more genetic influence comes from your microbes as from the DNA in your own cells. Your genes control protein coding, which determines your hormones, weight, fertility, mood and others. Which Do You Choose—Food or 'Edible Manufactured Products?'Our biology adapted to a diet of wild plants and animals—wild vegetables, berries, nuts, roots, and game, which were MUCH higher in nutrients than our foods today. Our hunter-gatherer ancestors consumed nearly 100 grams of fiber every day, compared to the eight to 15 grams now consumed by the average Westerner. Food can be medicine or poison... the processed foods found lining grocery store shelves are not the foods we were designed to eat. Ninety percent of the average American diet is fake food out of a box, can, jar, or tube. The foods many react adversely to are relatively new in our food supply—soy, gluten from hybridized wheat, corn, sugar, and highly pasteurized dairy, for example. These modern foods are foreign to your body, so it’s common to have problematic reactions, including inflammatory and autoimmune responses, which can lead to allergies, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and the list goes on and on. One of every four Americans now has type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes. Americans have shunned fats for the last 40 years after being told they cause heart disease, when the real culprit is sugar. The epidemic of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and the like are evidence of what happens when your brain is starved of beneficial fats while being bombarded with toxic insults over time. Your brain is made up of fat, so it’s no surprise that low-fat diets have been linked to depression and suicidal or homicidal behavior. We have outsourced the making of our food to corporations that have cut corners, added chemicals, and altered the genetic makeup of what we eat—it’s not food anymore but rather “edible manufactured products.” Our children pay the heaviest price, becoming biochemically enslaved to sugar. This is not an exaggeration as studies have shown sugar to be eight times as addictive as cocaine. Would it be okay if the government began marketing and subsidizing cocaine? Of course not, but that’s exactly what they’re doing with sugar with their subsidization of the corn and fructose industry and mani[CENSORED]tive marketing campaigns. Adding a sedentary lifestyle to a massively unhealthy diet creates the perfect storm for “diabesity.” Our ancestors were in constant motion, hunting, building and carrying things, escaping from predators, etc. Today, people barely move. Sitting for more than eight hours a day is associated with a 90 percent increased risk of type 2 diabetes. For optimal health, you need to move near-continuously throughout the day, or at least avoid sitting down for more than three hours a day. And, to keep your body strong, you hunter-gatherer genes want you to exert an all-out effort occasionally, such as high intensity exercises, but few of us actually do this. Your Health Depends on Soil Health, and Our Soils Are Dying ust as your gut houses a microbiome that’s critical for your health, our soils contain a microbiome critical to the health of the planet. Your health is directly related to the quality of the food you eat, and the quality of your food depends on the health of the soil in which it’s grown. As above, so below. In the rhizosphere, microorganisms form nodules on the roots of plants to help them take up minerals and other nutrients from the soil. Unfortunately, modern industrial agriculture (monoculture) destroys much of the soil’s microbiome. Heavy agrichemical use and GE crops rapidly destroy once-fertile soils that took centuries to develop. Removing the stress on a plant by dousing it with chemical fertilizers and insecticide cocktails causes it to become weak, producing less of the natural phytochemicals so vital for your health. Although arrogant molecular biologists believe they know, the reality is that we really don’t know what effects tampering with the genetics of our food supply will have on your health and your children’s health over the long run. I expose their fraud in my fascinating interview with Steven Druker, slated to be published next month. Many experts believe GE foods are contributing to the growing chronic disease epidemics seen today. Despite what industry says, GE foods are not the answer to world hunger. On the contrary, sustainable agriculture that works in harmony with nature instead of against it has been proven to double crop yield. The United Nations published in a study in 2010 concluding that if the world were switched to agroecological techniques, on the same farming footprint existing today, we could double world food production in about 10 years and begin to heal many of the insults of the chemical era. We must rekindle our relationship with food, go back into our kitchens and start cooking again. In 1900, only two percent of meals were eaten outside of the home, but today it’s more than half. Your [CENSORED]ure Depends on Your Choices Today Many inroads have been made improving access to local and sustainable foods, but we still have a long way to go. Building a food system that relies heavily on locally grown foods is the answer to many of our global problems, from environmental destruction to hunger and disease. The most powerful tool you have for change is your fork—you vote with your fork three times a day! Are you going to support the companies that are poisoning you and your children, or will you support the people who are raising food in a way that’s a win-win for you and the earth and everyone ? Real food may seem more expensive, but it’s your primary health care, and cheap food isn’t cheap when you consider the risk of extinction. As you’ve seen, nature isn’t “out there”—it’s in your own body, in your own home and all around you. All life on earth is inextricably linked. Every time you make a choice, you’re changing the world and influencing our [CENSORED]ure. The goal isn’t to abandon technology and return to ancient times, but rather to harness technology for the betterment of all and proceed with mindfulness and reverence. As stated in the film, “The wisdom of the ancients is the medicine of the [CENSORED]ure.”

The hoolock gibbon is just one species whose numbers have crashed since 1970 and is now endangered Five times in the past 440 million years, life on earth has suffered a great dying – a mass extinction eliminating between half and 97 per cent of species. In the words of the palaeoanthropologist and conservationist Richard Leakey, such events “restructure the biosphere”. Life takes millions of years to recover – and only does so by undergoing fundamental changes, such as mammals succeeding dinosaurs. Yesterday a report demonstrated how we are now, as Lord May, the former President of the Royal Society once put it, “on the breaking tip of a sixth great wave of extinction”. And while past ones have been blamed on intense warming or cooling of the climate, or asteroid impact, this is in danger of being the first to have been brought about by one of the very species ultimately at risk – ourselves. The Living Planet report, produced by WWF (once called the World Wildlife Fund) in collaboration with the Zoological Society of London, has found that the number of vertebrates – mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish – on earth has fallen by more than half since 1970. It came to this conclusion, much the most alarming yet reached, by analysing 10,380 po[CENSORED]tions of 3,038 species around the globe. Terrestrial and marine creatures have each slumped by 39 per cent, it adds, while freshwater ones have done almost twice as badly, crashing by 76 per cent. In all, the report concludes, there are 52 per cent fewer vertebrates alive on Earth than there were when someone now in their forties was born. Its finding meshes closely with that of another study, reported in The Telegraph in August, which concluded that the number of insects worldwide had fallen by 45 per cent since the Seventies, while human po[CENSORED]tions had almost doubled. The two reports – together forming a rounded picture of what is happening to both vertebrate and invertebrate life – depart from most previous studies by looking at what is happening to the absolute numbers of animals rather than to individual species. And – though they thus tell us less about which particular forms of life are disappearing forever – they add a valuable new dimension. It is the number of animals in an ecosystem that decides its health and functionality. Species seem to be disappearing rather less rapidly than was once feared, since the last few members of them have often proved quite adept at hanging on, partly thanks to the establishment of reserves to protect them and partly through their own adaptability: many tropical forest species, for example, have managed to move to the trees that regenerate an area after the original ones have been felled. And it is the health of ecosystems that matters most to us, for we depend on them, for example, to provide freshwater, protect against flooding, absorb air pollution, mitigate climate change and provide much of our food, both at land and sea. One recent report estimated that these, and other “ecosystem services”, are worth a staggering $125-$145 trillion a year to humanity. Particular beneficiaries range from the rich inhabitants of the world’s megacities – more than half of which are vulnerable to natural disasters such as floods and droughts – to the world’s poorest rural people, often almost entirely dependent on their natural surroundings. Not for nothing is it said that the world economy is a wholly owned subsidiary of its environment. And yet the world’s wildlife and wild places have suffered from decades, sometimes centuries, of accelerating assault. Forty per cent of the planet’s forests, for example, have been felled since the 18th century, while 60 per cent of the globe’s “ecosystem services” have been degraded in the past half century alone. And po[CENSORED]tion growth – which, far from slowing down as had been expected, may almost double human numbers this century – and ever-increasing consumption threaten those that remain. The illegal wildlife trade wreaks horrendous damage on some species: yet another report last month showed that ivory smuggling has tripled over the past decade, while Africa’s black rhinos – poached for their horns – collapsed from 100,000 animals to 2,410 between the Sixties and Nineties. And increasing emissions of carbon dioxide make things far worse, both by warming the climate and by turning the oceans more acidic than they have been for 300 million years. Establishing national parks and other protected areas can help. Yesterday’s report says wildlife has declined less than half as much in them, and some – such as tigers in Nepal and gorillas in the Congo – have increased markedly. But such areas must be well managed and defended and, even at best, are vulnerable to a climate change forcing species to move out. Curbing the illegal trade is also important, as governments are increasingly realising. In the end, though, the only solution is for the species doing the damage to tread more lightly. That does not mean living less well, only less wastefully. There are signs that it is beginning to happen. The report says that Brazil, Turkey – and even China – are on track to achieve the same standard of living as Germany in the Eighties, with smaller ecological footprints per person. Yet humanity as a whole is still consuming each year what it would take one-and-a-half planets to provide sustainably. Preventing a sixth great dying requires a rapid return to equilibrium.

Cases Deaths Guinea 2,775 1,781 Liberia 8,157 3,496 Nigeria 20 8 Sierra Leone 8,780 2,943 Senegal 1 0 Mali 8 6 Total 20,741 8,234 Since the Ebola outbreak in West Africa was officially declared on 22 March in Guinea, it has claimed more than 8,200 lives in the region. The outbreak is the largest ever, and is currently affecting four countries in West Africa: Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Mali. Outbreaks in Nigeria and Senegal have been declared over. A separate outbreak in DRC has also ended. In September, 2014, MSF called for states with biological-disaster response capacity to urgently dispatch human and material resources to West Africa, all three of the worst-hit countries have received some assistance from the international community. But foreign governments have focused primarily on financing or building Ebola case management structures, leaving staffing them up to national authorities, local healthcare staff and NGOs. Across the region, there are still not adequate facilities for isolating and diagnosing patients where they are needed. Other elements that are essential to an Ebola response – such as awareness-raising and community acceptance, safe burials, contact tracing, alert and surveillance, access to health care for non-Ebola patients – are still lacking in parts of West Africa. Two (1,2) of the three clinical trials for different treatments led by MSF and three research institutions have started, while the third should start soon at MSF sites in West Africa. The French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) is leading a trial for antiviral drug favipiravir at MSF’s facility in Guéckédou, Guinea. The inclusion of patients at this site has started mid-December. The University of Oxford leads, on behalf of the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium (ISARIC), a Wellcome Trust-funded trial of the antiviral drug brincidofovir at Elwa3 in Monrovia. The inclusion of patients started on January, 1st. The Antwerp Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM) will lead a trial of convalescent plasma therapy at MSF’s Donka Ebola centre in Conakry, Guinea. This trial is expected to start in the coming weeks. The United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER) is based in Ghana to pursue five strategic priorities: stop the spread of the disease; treat the infected; ensure essential services; preserve stability; and prevent the spread of the disease to countries currently unaffected. MSF has been responding to the outbreak since March. On December 30, there was almost 3,800 staff working in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Mali. Since the response began, 27 MSF staff members have fallen ill with Ebola, 14 of whom have recovered and 13 have died. The vast majority of these infections were found to have occurred in the community. Operational Highlights MSF Ebola activities in West Africa MSF’s West Africa Ebola response started in March 2014 and counts activities in Guinea, Liberia, Mali and Sierra Leone. MSF currently employs 302 international and around 3 600 national locally hired staff in the region. The organisation operates eight Ebola case management centres (CMCs), providing approximately 650 beds in isolation, and two transit centres. Since the beginning of the outbreak, MSF has admitted more than 7,700 patients, among whom around 4,800 were confirmed as having Ebola. More than 2,200 patients have survived. More than 1,400 tonnes of supplies have been shipped to the affected countries since March. Guinea The overall situation in Guinea remains concerning. While the total number of new cases has been relatively stable during the last three weeks, the epidemic continues to spread geographically, with new districts declaring cases for the first time. Conakry and the surrounding areas account for approximately half of the cases in the country. Conakry Donka Ebola Management Centre in Conakry is admitting an average of 5 patients per day, mostly from Conakry. Since last week, MSF teams are involved in contact tracing activities too, in collaboration with MSF is looking for an appropriate site to setup a bigger Ebola Management Centre that will serve the Conakry area. Macenta MSF completed the handover of the Macenta center to French Red Cross in December. MSF teams left Macenta on 10 December. Guéckédou The number of admissions remains stable on the low side. As an average, 4 patients were hospitalized during the last days. The number of admitted patients has also decreased in surrounding Ebola centers in the region. The INSERM study (FAVIPIRAVIR) has started the week of December 15th. Kankan Kankan
A new 20 beds CMC is being built in Kankan and Infection control has started in the Kankan General Hospital. Outreach activities have also started in Kankan and its surroundings. Liberia Monrovia - Elwa 3 Following the decrease in the number of patients in ELWA 3 (currently 3 confirmed and 4 suspect), teams have downsized ELWA 3 from a 250 bed facility to a 60 bed facility. The teams have also built a laboratory to help better monitor patients – it is expect the lab will open in the coming week. On the 9th of January a “stabilisation centre” for patients with acute illnesses who do not meet the Ebola case definition was open at ELWA 3. The idea is that patients will be stabilised (using universal precautions but not full PPE) before being transferred to an available hospital bed at another facility. This is to mitigate problems surrounding the transfer of untested non-cases to other hospitals which usually face lengthy delays and have in some cases resulted in the death of the patient. The trial of brincidofovir, led by an Oxford university team, started on January 1st.
 Monrovia/Outreach Ambulance service have been set up with a dedicated hotline that the community can call if they have Ebola suspected cases. Teams refer Ebola patients from Gardnersville, New Georgia, Barnesville and Paynesville in Monrovia, to EMCs. Monrovia / Support to non-Ebola health facilities An MSF team is supporting five health centres in Monrovia with expertise in infection prevention and control; A team is also supporting the James Davis Junior Memorial Hospital (JDJ Hospital) in Monrovia providing expertise in paediatrics, infection control and triage. Rehabilitation of the premises has started to set up stringent infection control measures. Meanwhile, teams are working at the set-up of a MSF-run paediatric hospital in Monrovia. Monrovia/Transit Unit (Redemption Hospital) Since the opening of the Ebola Transit Unit at the Redemption hospital site in New Kru Town on 19 November, MSF has triaged 100 patients and admitted 51 to its Transit Unit.. Patients who are admitted and test positive for Ebola and those who are clinically unstable upon arrival, are transferred to ELWA3 immediately. Patients are followed up by the staff of the Redemption Unit throughout their time in treatment. Their families are offered psycho social support, including transport to visit patients at ELWA 3, which can be up to an hour journey in traffic. Those who recover continue to receive support from MSF in the weeks following discharge. In addition to running the ten-bed transit unit, MSF also supports the triage at Redemption Hospital's OPD. This is an extremely important step in the rebuilding of non-Ebola health services in Monrovia as Redemption Hospital has, been unable to run its normal operations since it was used as a holding centre for Ebola patients in August. Monrovia/ Health Promotion activities Health promotion teams are out in the community engaging in dialogue with interested community members about Ebola as well as running “training for trainers” for community based organisations and other actors, with the aim of continuing to spread correct messaging on Ebola through communities across Monrovia. Monrovia / Treatment and prevention of malaria The first two rounds of malaria drug distribution were completed, on November 21 and December 19, respectively. In total, more than 500 000 people have received their drugs in four neighbourhoods. A distribution of mosquito nets will take place early January. Rapid response teams / River Cess MSF has handed over to Partners in Health the 7 triage centres, set up at local health centres, as well as health promotion activities in the area end of December. Health staff in the area has been trained by MSF to recognise the symptoms of Ebola and to react accordingly. Rapid response teams / Grand Bassa The MSF intervention in Quewein, Grand Bassa County started on 2 December and was handed over at the beginning of January to Concern Worldwide and local Health authorities. MSF teams took in charge or organized the referral of about 50 patients in the area. Rapid response teams / Grand Cape Mount
 There are currently up to three trains of active transmission in Grand Cape Mount county including one in an open cut mine. Following an evaluation, the team has decided to run mobile clinics in villages across the region to find active cases, train local health staff in proper triage and infection control procedures and fill a gap in primary health care. Foya After not having had any Ebola patients since October 30th and with new actors arriving in the area to support, MSF’s Ebola Management Center in Foya, Lofa County, was handed over on December 10th. In the lead up to handing the structure back to the NGO Samaritan Purse, MSF invested strongly in health promotion activities and in the training of health staff in the districts of Foya, Kolahun and Vahun. This will ensure a robust response should cases reappear in the area.
 Between 2 August and 10 December, 695 patients were admitted to the centre, 384 of whom were confirmed Ebola cases, 154 recovered from the virus and were discharged home. Sierra Leone Operation Western Area Surge was launched December 16th, as an intensified effort to mobilize communities to identify potential Ebola cases and link them with care. The surge focused on door-to-door social mobilization as well as engagement with community leaders, including government, religious, and tribal groups, as well as youth leaders and women. The outcomes of the Surge are currently unknown, though there has been a 10% increase in calls to the Ebola hotline and a slight increase in Ebola-positive cases in MSF’s Ebola Treatment Center in Freetown. These increases are substantially less than expected, indicating a potential shortfall in the social mobilization effort. On New Year’s Eve, President Koroma extended the surge for another two weeks and expressed hope that schools would reopen soon. Kailahun 
Teams continue to reinforce outreach activities, including monitoring of surveillance activities by other actors and assistance where needed. The MSF EMC in Kailahun has admitted no positive cases since December 11th. Following the opening and increased capacity of treatment centres in other districts both by MSF (Bo, Magburaka, Freetown) and other actors (Kenema, Makeni), no patients from other districts have been admitted since November 30th. A small but significant number of patients presenting with Ebola like symptoms continues, but since 11th December all have tested negative to Ebola. While Ebola is still present in other districts, the possibility will remain that travelers may present with Ebola in Kailahun. The bed capacity in the EMC was reduced to 20 beds – although it can still be upgraded to 100 beds again in the [CENSORED]ure if needed. Bo 
The MSF EMC centre in Bo saw a decrease of cases in late December following the opening of more treatment facilities in different regions of the country, although the current situation in Kono led to a slight increase of patients last week. As of January 4, there are 20 patients in isolation – 16 confirmed cases, one probable and three suspects. MSF continues to provide Mental Health services in the EMC as well as strengthening Health Promotion activities focusing in hotspot, training community health workers and visiting all quarantine houses, as well as support to the organization and dispatching of the alerts team. Magburaka 15 confirmed patients and 5 suspects are currently present in the EMC. Last week, the first cured patient was discharged. Since then, 4 cured patients have been discharged in total. The Winnipeg Laboratory, installed inside the EMC, is operating as district lab - working with three other holding centers and 11 CCCs in the area. It has a turnaround time on lab samples of 4 hours, which helped reduced the number of patients in holding centers. The team is currently evaluating the possibility of starting outreach activities. Kissy MSF has opened this week an Ebola Treatment Center in Kissy, one of the current hotspots of the epidemic, in the outskirts of Freetown. The current capacity is of 20 beds, but the centre will expand to become a 80-bed referral center for Ebola positive pregnant women, with an isolation ward for suspect Ebola-infected pregnant women, where they will be able to receive obstetric care. Freetown/antimalarial distribution Freetown/antimalarial distribution
MSF will begin the second round of antimalarial distribution on January 16-19th for a target po[CENSORED]tion of 1,8 million people. Teams will run house-to-house distribution of antimalarial drugs, sensitization on how these medications should be used for malaria prevention, and directly observed therapy (DOT) to support adherence. A large campaign of social mobilization has been run (radio, TV, posters, banners, as well as meetings with community leaders and stakeholders). Freetown/ Prince of Wales secondary school The Ebola Treatment Center at Prince of Wales School has reached its full capacity of 100 beds, though the centre was only one-third full last week. The center includes 30 individual rooms for suspect cases to prevent cross-infection, as well as 70 treatment beds, including an intensive care ward with a Plexiglas corridor to enable more intensive monitoring. Delays between onset of symptoms and access to treatment remain the most significant factor related to mortality. Since the centre opened on December 10, there have been 178 admissions, 82 Ebola confirmed patients, 30 Ebola deaths and 32 survivors. The center has a mobile lab on premises which currently tests 30 samples per day, and can scale to 50 samples tested per day Outreach activities have begun in the neighboring areas of Kroo Bay and Congotown. MSF is also supporting infection prevention and control (IPC) training for NGOs that are responding to Ebola cases alerts. MSF will add an additional car to this alert response, providing health promotion, as well as additional IPC support. Mali Mali confirmed its first case of Ebola on 23 October. In total, 8 cases were confirmed, and 6 deaths. There are no more contacts-people followed, as the last 13 contacts completed the 21-days of surveillance on 15 December. MSF emergency response unit, who was running a case management centre (CMC) in Bamako collaboration with CNAM, Mali’s national disease centre, left on January 5. Nigeria WHO declared 20 October as the official end of the epidemic after 42 days without a case. The MSF intervention has been closed. Senegal WHO declared 17 October as the official end of the epidemic after 42 days without a case. The MSF intervention has been closed. MSF’s West Africa Unit (Dakar) will keep in contact with the government for follow up as part of their routine activities. Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) The outbreak in DRC’s Equateur province, which was unrelated to the one in West Africa, was declared over on November 21. Around 60 MSF staff worked on this outbreak and two case management centres were established. The MSF teams have activated an exit plan. Uganda On September 29, a case of Marburg fever was declared in Uganda. MSF has helped reinforce local capacities for treating confirmed cases and for infection control. No new cases of the disease have been declared since.
