DETOXIFYING CAULIFLOWER, KALE, AND PINE NUT CONFETTI RECIPE
Detoxifying cauliflower, kale, and pine nut confetti Recipe
From The Truth About Cancer website
Humble cauliflower is often overlooked as a leading member of the
cruciferous family, but it’s actually one of the healthiest foods on the
planet. It boasts a rich supply of health-promoting phytochemicals,
anti-inflammatory compounds, and other cancer-busting nutrients.
Importantly,
cauliflower supports digestion and detoxification. This is due to its
sulfur-containing compounds, known as glucosinolates. These compounds
break down in your stomach into byproducts during digestion, supporting
efficient nutrient absorption as well as toxin and waste removal.
This delicious side or main dish also features kale, another superstar cruciferous veggie
that provides glucosinolate compounds in addition to vitamins A, C, K,
anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, and calcium. Like cauliflower,
kale is filled with fiber and sulfur, both great for detoxifying your
body and keeping your liver healthy.
The DIM (diindolylmethane)
and indole-3-carbinole in cruciferous vegetables such as kale and
cauliflower help metabolize and breakdown estrogen in the body. This
helps women maintain a healthy balance of hormones, which is critical
for overall health, and specifically to lower risk of hormone-driven
cancers. Kale is also a good source of quercetin, which has strong anti-inflammatory compounds and prevents tumor cell growth.
Quercetin
also aids in the removal of excess estrogen from the body by
stimulating liver function to detoxify estrogen and other carcinogenic
agents.
Last, but definitely not least, pine nuts help suppress
appetite as they contain pinolenic acid, which triggers the release of
appetite-suppressing hormones. They are also very high in protein… just
1⁄4 cup provides 8 grams of protein! Enjoy!

ARTICLE - 5 PEOPLE YOU PROBABLY KEEP FORGETTING TO TIP
5 People You Probably Keep Forgetting to Tip
from Tip Hero website
(http://tiphero.com/who-to-tip/)
Here in America where tipping is common, you’ll hear the pros and cons of tip etiquette and debates on the subject can rile people up. Although the restaurant industry is typically the center of arguments, other industries have standards too.
In addition to tipping for meals, some of us also drop extra coins for hairstylists, barbers, drivers, or the bellhop. It becomes second nature when we receive great service or if someone goes the extra mile to help us out. Others will simply get a sweet gift around the holidays.
No laws are on the books about tipping, but the practice can give some people anxiety about who to tip and how much. We forget or we simply don’t know. Since so much of tipping etiquette is unspoken and unwritten for service-based industries, there are a few guidelines you can find online to help you determine if and what to leave.
We’ve collected some of this information to highlight people who may be forgotten in the tip department despite the work they do. These are just gentle reminders and it’s up to you whether you’re on board to leave a buck or two for the workers mentioned here.

Furniture Delivery Guys/Movers
We know you already paid a flat delivery fee. But did your delivery guys show up on time and friendly? It’s nice to give them a few bucks for lugging your heavy items into the house, especially if you have narrow halls, staircases, or steep inclines.
It’s especially awesome if nothing is bumped, broken, or scratched up in the process. If you’re moved to do so, the suggested amount is $5 to $10 per person. Movers can get a bit more.Hotel Housekeeping Staff
When we stayed at a boutique hotel in the French Quarter, a tip envelope was left on the dining table that was marked “Housekeeping”. I’d never seen one before but was happy to leave money at the end of our stay for the nice lady who took care of our room. For us, it was the same person each day.
When traveling, Emily Post suggests leaving $2 to $5 for housekeeping per day. If it’s only one night, you can forgo it.Tour Guides
Taking in the sights in a new city? If you go on tour with a guide who is organized, friendly, and super knowledgeable, why not give them a couple of dollars? Tip amounts range from $2 up to $10.Spa Employees
In addition to tipping the masseuse, drop an extra dollar or two for the person who tweezed, waxed, or manicured your face and body. While you may choose to tip on the entire service, remember that tips don’t always trickle down to the person who took care of the smaller details.Car Wash Workers
We know your car rolls through a washing conveyor belt, but once it comes out, there’s probably a group of people who wipe it, vacuum it, and shine it up. Tipping here can get confusing, but when the keys are returned to you, hand over some singles in the $2 to $10 range, depending on the effort. Those dollars are usually shared.

ARTICLE: "WEEDING OUT THE TRUTH: LANDMARK CASE EXPOSES MONSANTO'S GLYPHOSATE LIES
Weeding Out the Truth: Landmark Case Exposes Monsanto's Glyphosate Lies
By Ty Bollinger
from The Truth About Cancer website
Below is an excerpt from the article. To read the article in its entirety (and I really recommend that you do so), click on the link below:
It’s finally happened. In a landmark ruling last week, a California
jury found that Monsanto failed to warn consumers that their pesticides
cause cancer. The plaintiff, Dewayne Johnson, was awarded $289 million
in damages.
Johnson, a groundskeeper for the California school system, regularly used Monsanto products Roundup and RangerPro on the job. Although healthy when beginning the job in 2012, Johnson was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2014 after working regularly with the pesticides.
This is the first of over 5,000 cases claiming that Monsanto knows that glyphosate, the world’s common weed killer, causes cancer, but have deliberately hidden that information. Johnson’s case was fast-tracked to trial due to the severity of his illness. According to a deposition from his doctor, by January of this year his body was 80% covered in lesions. He says that Johnson is unlikely to survive past 2020.
This is a major development, and the first trial linking glyphosate to cancer. Johnson’s lawyers focused on proving that Monsanto (recently acquired by Bayer AG) deliberately suppressed evidence that Roundup causes cancer. If you’ve been following The Truth About Cancer, this is not new information.
Glyphosate strips plants and soil of nutrients, and in the past 40 years, tens of millions of acres have been saturated and destroyed by glyphosate and Roundup. Since its introduction in 1974, over 9 million tons of Roundup have been sprayed on fields worldwide.
Everything from endocrine disruption and obesity to diabetes and heart disease – and, of course, cancer – has a scientific tie-in to glyphosate exposure. Studies have linked glyphosate to cancer, kidney failure, chromosomal damage, and immune system damage. And when combined, the chemicals found in Roundup are 1,000 times more toxic than glyphosate alone. What’s worse, glyphosate is everywhere.
U.S. Geological Survey data shows that glyphosate is present in more than half of all surface waters, soil, and sediment. Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), its degradation product, is even more commonly detected, showing up in more than 80% of wastewater samples collected at municipal treatment plants. Monsanto itself admits that some glyphosate remains on and in food crops like canola, cotton, and corn, meaning we’re consuming unknown amounts of glyphosate regularly.

4 THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER, EVER CLEAN WITH BAKING SODA
4 Things You Should Never, Ever Clean with Baking Soda
from TIP HERO web page
[http://tiphero.com/things-never-clean-with-baking-soda/]
Baking soda is one of those things that most of us usually always have in the house. Whether it’s keeping our refrigerator
fresh or tucked away in the pantry for baking season, it’s something
that most people own for one reason or another. Plus, it lasts awhile,
so it just always seems to be around.
However, though multipurpose, one of the most common uses for baking soda is cleaning. When mixed with vinegar, baking soda works wonders to clean your dirty oven or even unclog a drain.
Baking soda is an abrasive substance, so it’s a powerhouse when removing particles and stains from tons of different surfaces.
That
said, you shouldn’t throw this mixture onto anything. Because of its
abrasiveness, certain items should stay far, far away from baking soda,
unless you want to ruin the item completely. It can also leave streaky
marks on some surfaces as well.
To avoid any cleaning mishaps, stop using baking soda on these 4 things:
Aluminum pots and pans
You know that fancy All Clad cookware you use to make everything from spaghetti to fish? We don’t recommend using baking soda to clean these. While baking soda is safe for most metal surfaces, when we clean pots and pans, we usually let it sit and soak for a bit to get all the residue off. This is a huge no-no when it comes to baking soda and aluminum, as it could oxidize and cause the color to change. Just stick with soap and water for these to be safe!Gold-accented pieces
While you probably don’t have a gold statue hanging around, we’re more so talking about serving pieces with gold accents in them. You know, the china you got from your wedding or the set of gold silverware your mom handed down to you. You definitely want to use a more gentle soap on these to get them clean. Otherwise, the gold can flake off or become tarnished.Tarnished silverware
While baking soda will certainly work on cleaning up tarnished silverware, experts advise against it as it could ruin the finish, especially when it comes to antique silver. The same goes for any decorative insets like turquoise or pearls—the last thing you want to do is ruin a piece that’s so old and meaningful you can never get back. If something like this needs to be cleaned, take it to a professional who works with stuff like this.Marble countertops
Using baking soda with vinegar can cause the marble to corrode. Try using a gentle, light soap and water to scrub the countertops clean. “There’s nothing on a countertop that you can’t get off with soap and water,” says Stephanie Laney, the lead designer for Surfaces USA. The same goes for marble tile—baking soda might catch etching on these surfaces.
7 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER
Dear Reader:
Do you think you know all about American history? I bet you didn't know these 7 things about the Star Spangled Banner. Below is an excerpt from the article. If you would like to read the entire article, click on the link provided below the picture.
"The Star-Spangled Banner is one of the most recognizable icons of the United States. Huge, vibrant, and rich in history, most Americans are familiar with the story of this particular flag: It's the one that flew over Fort McHenry the morning after the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812 and inspired Francis Scott Key to write the words that would one day become our national anthem. Although this flag has been around for 200 years now, there is more to this story that begs to be told."

ARTICLE - "HOW TO REPLACE DAMAGED OR DESTROYED U.S. CURRENCY"
How to Replace Damaged or Destroyed U.S. Currency
from the Tip Hero website
(http://tiphero.com/replace-damaged-currency/)
(http://tiphero.com/replace-damaged-currency/)
If your cash is just soiled or ripping at the corners, you should
still be able to use it, but if one of those bills is torn in half, you
will have to tape it together and bring it to your local bank. There, a
teller should be able to confirm its authenticity and add the money to your balance, or even replace it with an intact version.
BUT,
if your cash has been mutilated due to fire, water, chemical,
explosives damage, animal damage, or deterioration by burying–a.k.a. the
most common ways cash becomes severely blemished, according to the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing–then it’s time that you contact
the agency for help.
On its official government site, the BEP gives the following instructions to those who need their ruined cash replaced:
1.
Write down the amount of cash that was damaged, your contact info, and
an explanation of how the bills became damaged. Also, be sure to include
your bank account number, along with a routing number. If you’d rather
receive a check, including payee and mailing address information.
2.
Carefully place all of the mutilated cash that you have in the
envelope, making sure that the packing process doesn’t further damage
the bills.
3. Send as a certified package to:
Personal Delivery and Non-Postal Couriers, i.e. FedEx/UPS
Bureau of Engraving & Printing
MCD/OFM, Room 344A
14th and C Streets SW
Washington, DC 20228
USPS Delivery
Bureau of Engraving & Printing
MCD/OFM, Room 344A
P.O. Box 37048
Washington, DC 20013
4.
Wait for your claim to be processed. At this time the BEP is dealing
with a high number of currency claims, so it might take anywhere between
6 and 36 months to receive a final decision. Also, if the amount of
money that was damaged was particularly high, the BEP may decide to
contact law enforcement to help them confirm the authenticity of the
claim.
