En Afrique de l'Ouest, va-t-on vers un « divorce à l'amiable » entre une Cédéao à douze pays et une Alliance des États du Sahel, qui regroupera les trois autres ? Dimanche dernier à Abuja, les douze pays qui restent attachés à la Cédéao ont proposé six mois de réflexion supplémentaires aux trois pays, le Mali, le Niger et le Burkina Faso, qui veulent quitter l'organisation sous-régionale. Ces trois pays pourraient-ils revenir d'ici le 29 juillet prochain dans la maison Cédéao ? Gilles Yabi est le fondateur de Wathi, le think tank citoyen d'Afrique de l'Ouest. En ligne de Dakar, il répond à Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Les chefs d'État de la Cédéao espèrent encore ramener les trois États de l'AES dans leur organisation d'ici le 29 juillet prochain. Est-ce qu'ils ont une chance d'y arriver ?Gilles Yabi : Je pense que les chances restent limitées. L'intérêt politique des trois dirigeants des pays du Sahel est de rester cohérent depuis qu'ils ont pris cette décision. Et donc, on voit mal un changement de position, en tout cas pour ces trois pays, le Mali, le Niger, le Burkina Faso. Je rappelle que cette décision a été prise sans consultation des populations. Elle a été prise par les dirigeants de ces trois pays arrivés par coup d'État. Donc, en cas de séparation, ce qui reste l'hypothèse la plus probable, c'est qu'on s'oriente plutôt vers un « divorce à l'amiable ». Maintenant, on ne peut rien exclure. Évidemment, les efforts diplomatiques du président sénégalais et du président togolais pourraient toujours finir par faire changer leur avis, mais je n'y crois pas beaucoup.Vendredi dernier, les trois pays de l'AES ont déclaré que leur départ de la Cédéao était irréversible. Quel est pour eux l'avantage de quitter la Cédéao ?C'est le fait de se soustraire à des obligations liées au protocole additionnel sur la démocratie et la bonne gouvernance de la Cédéao. Donc, de ne pas être lié, par exemple, à l'obligation d'organiser à un moment donné des élections. Peut-être même [de ne pas être lié] au principe qui avait été instauré par l'Union africaine, à savoir que les chefs d'État qui arrivent par coup d'État militaire, même si ceux-là se maintiennent pendant la transition, ne soient pas autorisés à se présenter au terme de ces transitions. Donc, en sortant de la Cédéao, ils se libèrent de toutes les obligations, de tous les principes qui sont censés gouverner l'espace de la région.Les trois pays de l'AES quittent la Cédéao. Mais, en même temps, ils se disent prêts à maintenir sur leur territoire une exemption de visa pour les ressortissants de la Cédéao. Pourquoi ce geste ?Je crois qu'il s'agit de montrer d'une certaine manière qu'ils ne sont pas dans une approche de rupture brutale avec les autres pays de la communauté. Et peut-être de manière aussi très pragmatique, je pense que les dirigeants de ces trois États sont tout à fait conscients de l'importance des relations économiques avec les pays voisins côtiers. Ils connaissent les chiffres des flux migratoires entre leur pays et les pays voisins. Lorsqu'on regarde les corridors les plus importants, on va voir les corridors Burkina Faso - Côte d'Ivoire ou Mali - Côte d'Ivoire par exemple, qui sont très importants. Donc, ça veut dire que vous avez énormément de populations sahéliennes qui vivent dans ces pays, en particulier la Côte d'Ivoire, mais aussi le Sénégal. Et donc, le fait de décider qu'il y aura une exemption de visa pour les ressortissants des pays membres de la Cédéao est une manière d'amener la Cédéao à décider de maintenir une exemption de visa pour les populations sahéliennes.Est-ce que, par exemple, les autorités ivoiriennes vont être prêtes à accorder cette réciprocité, cette exemption de visa, aux quelque six millions de Maliens et de Burkinabè qui vivent sur le territoire ivoirien ?On ne doit pas perdre de vue les enjeux les plus importants qui concernent les populations. De mon point de vue, je pense que la Côte d'Ivoire et d'autres pays de la Cédéao ne vont pas décider d'appliquer des visas simplement parce qu'à nouveau les relations sont difficiles et parce que les États du Sahel se seraient retirés de la Cédéao.Ce que demandent les trois pays de l'AES, est-ce que ce n'est pas une Cédéao à la carte ? Une Cédéao dont ils garderaient les avantages économiques tout en se débarrassant des inconvénients politiques ?Alors c'est vrai que, derrière la question de la sortie des pays de l'AES, se pose aussi la question du choix de continuer à croire en un idéal d'intégration politique avec des valeurs, avec des principes de convergence constitutionnelle. Cela est vraiment tout ce qui a été consigné dans le protocole additionnel sur la démocratie et la bonne gouvernance de 2001. Et, aujourd'hui, très clairement, on a une partie des dirigeants de la région qui ne croient pas vraiment à la mission d'intégration politique. Le risque est de dire que, pour faire revenir ces États ou pour s'assurer que d'autres ne vont pas partir, on va renoncer aux dispositions du protocole additionnel de la démocratie et de la bonne gouvernance. Et, de mon point de vue, ce serait évidemment extrêmement dangereux parce qu'au fond, on risque d'avoir le retour à des régimes autoritaires où chaque dirigeant fera ce qu'il veut dans son pays. Et ça, on l'a déjà connu par le passé.

Im Rieder Geldbörsel raschelt es, in St. Pölten steht der Torschützenkönig am Abstellgleis und zwei vermeintlichen Außenseiter sind on fire. Vamos, Zwarakonferenz:

« Affaibli par son état de santé et ployant sous le poids de l'âge, le 46ème président des États-Unis (…) a fini par lâcher prise, relève WakatSéra au Burkina Faso. L'homme, qui en était presque arrivé à confondre le jour et la nuit, est contraint de sortir du terrain, alors que le banc de touche de son équipe est certes occupé par des remplaçants de luxe, mais qui disposeront de très peu de temps d'échauffement avant d'arriver sur un terrain où l'adversaire, Donald Trump, est déjà chauffé à blanc ».En tout cas, poursuit WakatSéra, « Joe Biden, 81 ans, ne s'accrochera plus au pouvoir, au contraire de (certains) dirigeants africains qui retrouvent toujours une seconde jeunesse, quand il s'agit d'aligner les mandats présidentiels. (…) Difficile de ne pas citer le plus emblématique de ces dirigeants, le Camerounais Paul Biya, officiellement 91 ans, 42 ans de règne sans partage, mais qui ne pense toujours pas à la retraite ».Le quotidien Aujourd'hui, toujours à Ouagadougou, renchérit : « Le retrait de Joe Biden est une leçon de chose politique. Moralité en Afrique : et si nos dirigeants pensaient moins à eux qu'à leur pays ? Et si, au sein des formations politiques, on propulsait la personne la mieux outillée pour exercer des charges nationales ? Au lieu du douillet cocon familial, clanique ou ethniciste ! Les lignes bougeraient davantage ».Une présidentielle au Mali ?À la Une également, le Mali, avec cette question : va-t-on vers une élection présidentielle ?Les militaires au pouvoir pourraient bien s'engager dans cette voie… C'est du moins ce qu'estime Le Monde Afrique : « voilà bientôt quatre ans que la junte dirigée par le colonel Assimi Goïta a pris le pouvoir au Mali. Quasiment la durée d'un quinquennat d'un président élu, rappellent opportunément les opposants qui osent encore s'exprimer ». Et « quand plusieurs indices laissent penser que les militaires envisagent enfin d'organiser le scrutin, ceux-ci attirent l'attention. Certains observateurs ont ainsi vu, dans la levée de la suspension des activités des partis politiques, le 10 juillet, puis dans la rencontre organisée par l'AIGE, l'Autorité indépendante de gestion des élections avec leurs représentants, lundi dernier à Bamako, les signes d'un possible enclenchement du processus électoral ».Alors, « davantage que sur l'échiquier politique, c'est au cœur de la junte que se joue l'organisation de la course à la magistrature suprême, croit encore savoir Le Monde Afrique. Plusieurs sources diplomatiques et politiques rapportent depuis plusieurs mois l'existence d'une rivalité entre le colonel Assimi Goïta et le colonel Sadio Camara, ministre de la Défense, considéré comme le numéro deux du régime et le premier relais de Moscou à Bamako ».En tout cas, s'interroge le journal, « celui qui a ouvert le bal des coups d'État en Afrique de l'Ouest sera-t-il le premier à tenter de poser un vernis démocratique sur son pouvoir en organisant une élection présidentielle ? À Bamako, beaucoup ne doutent plus de la volonté du colonel de troquer son treillis pour le costume de président ».Dès cette année ?La presse malienne évoque également l'éventualité d'une présidentielle… Pour Le Journal du Mali, « il est certain que le gouvernement fixera lui-même en temps voulu un chronogramme électoral, même s'il revient à l'AIGE de convoquer le collège électoral. Selon certaines informations, des dates devraient être proposées très prochainement ». Peut-être « avant la fin de cette année, affirme le site malien, (…) avec l'éventualité d'une candidature du président de la Transition lui-même, comme recommandé dans les conclusions du Dialogue inter-Maliens ».Commentaire du politologue Ballan Diakité, cité par Le Journal du Mali : « C'est une situation qui met mal à l'aise les partis politiques. Comme on le sait, un parti politique est créé pour la conquête et l'exercice du pouvoir. Mais encore faudrait-il qu'il y ait des élections et que les dates soient connues pour que les partis puissent se mobiliser et préparer les campagnes ».D'ailleurs, croit encore savoir le site malien, « les autorités de Transition pourraient prendre la classe politique de court en dévoilant un calendrier électoral à un moment où les politiques s'y attendraient le moins et ne seraient pas suffisamment prêts pour la compétition électorale ».

This is the weekly columnA miracle is happening right now in vineyards throughout the northern hemisphere.“Véraison” is the French term for the time when a wine vine's tiny, tight green nubs morph into plump, tasty, colorful globes. Red grapes transition from green to red, purple, blue, or black. White grapes transition from green to translucent yellow, orange, or gold.In addition to color changes grapes undergo other vital changes.• Grapes soften, become juicier and more pliable.• Grapes can double in size as they accumulate sugars and other nutrients.• Glucose and fructose levels—sugars—increase, critical to the later production of alcohol.• Malic acid decreases, making tartaric acid predominant, critical for flavor balance.• Herbaceous—green—aromas and taste degrade, replaced by fruity aromas.• The concentration and composition of phenolic compounds, especially tannins, change. Riper grapes with well-developed phenolics are smoother, more complex, and have a more pleasant mouthfeel.• Vines shift from energy production through photosynthesis—leaf production—to energy consumption, concentrating energy to make ripe, sweet grapes.• Véraison occurs in the northern hemisphere beginning in mid-to-late July, but grape variety, temperature, climate, and region influence the process. It may not begin until mid-August some places.• Véraison may not occur simultaneously in a vineyard or even on a single vine. Vines that undergo véraison more evenly generally produce wines with greater complexity and depth.• Véraison means harvest is 45 to 60 days away. Precise timing of the harvest is critical in the production of quality wine. That largely is under the control of humans. Véraison is the magical time that sets up the harvest. That is almost exclusively under the control of God and Mother Nature. The wine you enjoy is the product of this symbiotic relationship.Tasting notes• MGM Mondo del Vino Riva Leone Gavi DOCG 2021: Delicious dry, light wine with admirable crispness and delicious cortese fruit. $15-17 Link to my review• Gigondas La Cave Le Dit De Saint Tronquet, Côtes du Rhône Villages Plan de Dieu 2022: Solid GSM from Rhône Villages cooperative in a special place—“God's Plan” [Plan de Dieu]. $18 Link to my review• Hahn Family Wines Appellation Series Chardonnay, Arroyo Seco 2021: Rich, full, round, clean; impressive example of oaked chardonnay, touches all the delicious, well-made chard bases. $22-25 Link to my review• Texas Heritage Vineyard Viognier, Wildseed Farms Vineyard, Texas Hill Country 2022: Deep, delicious, robust, aromatic expression of Texas viognier. $21-28 Link to my review• M.

Israël reconnaît la souveraineté de Rabat sur le Sahara occidental et envisage l'ouverture d'un consulat à Dakhla, dans l'ancienne colonie espagnole contrôlée par le Maroc et revendiquée par le Front Polisario avec le soutien d'Alger.Pour le roi Mohammed VI, Le Monde nous rappelle que « le Sahara est le prisme à travers lequel il considère son environnement international ». Il aura fallu deux ans et demi pour que l'État hébreu emboîte le pas aux États-Unis dans cette reconnaissance. Mais la dynamique est là et elle se renforce, souligne un haut responsable marocain cité par plusieurs journaux. Cette reconnaissance s'ajoute au « soutien d'une quinzaine de pays européens au plan d'autonomie et à l'ouverture d'une trentaine de consulats à Laâyoune et Dakhla ».Un soutien critiqué en AlgériePour le site TSA, c'est « un colonisateur qui apporte son soutien à un autre ». TSA, Tout sur l'Algérie, pour qui cette reconnaissance n'est donc pas étonnante « de la part d'un pays qui occupe les territoires palestiniens ». Car pour le Front Polisario, rappelle Le Matin d'Algérie, le Sahara occidental est bien un territoire « occupé » par le Maroc.TSA s'interroge sur les contreparties obtenues par Israël pour franchir le pas. TSA, comme ses confrères marocains de L'Opinion, pointe la nomination d'un attaché militaire israélien à Rabat. L'Opinion rappelle que dès novembre 2021, à l'occasion de la première visite au Maroc d'un ministre israélien de la Défense, les deux pays avaient formalisé leurs rapports militaires dans un mémorandum. La désignation du colonel Sharon Itach en est la première traduction visible.La rivalité entre le Maroc et l'Algérie se joue aussi sur le terrain économique, dans les airs. C'est La Nouvelle Tribune au Bénin qui nous parle de cette bataille entre Air Algérie et Royal Air Maroc pour la première place en Afrique. La RAM va renouveler sa flotte et étendre sa couverture du continent. Air Algérie a déjà lancé de nouvelles liaisons avec plusieurs capitales comme Dakar, Nouakchott, Niamey, Abidjan, Bamako et Ouagadougou, et la compagnie en prévoit d'autres vers Addis-Abeba, Brazzaville ou encore Pretoria.Des milliers de mails de l'armée américaine récupérés par le Mali C'est une banale histoire d'extension de domaine, comme on dit dans le jargon Internet, raconte Jeune Afrique. « .MIL » pour l'armée des États-Unis et « .ML » pour le Mali. Hier, les autorités de Bamako devaient reprendre le contrôle du domaine « .ML » jusqu'ici géré par un entrepreneur néerlandais dont le contrat arrivait à expiration.

C'est une question posée par Le Pays au Burkina Faso en ce 18 juillet, déclarée par les Nations unies en 2009 « Journée internationale Nelson Mandela » pour rendre hommage aux valeurs de l'ex-président sud-africain. « Le monde est-il devenu plus juste ?

Les 46 soldats ivoiriens détenus au Mali, depuis le mois de juillet 2022, sont rentrés à Abidjan. Après avoir été condamnés à 20 ans de prison notamment pour «tentative d'atteinte à la sûreté extérieure de l'État», ils ont bénéficié d'une grâce du président malien de la transition, le colonel Goïta. Que vous inspire le dénouement de cette crise entre Bamako et Abidjan ? Que retiendrez-vous de cette affaire ? Que pensez-vous de la médiation du président togolais Faure Gnassingbé ? * Par téléphone : de France : 09 693 693 70 de l'étranger : 33 9 693 693 70 * Par WhatsApp : +33 6 89 28 53 64 N'OUBLIEZ PAS DE NOUS COMMUNIQUER VOTRE NUMÉRO DE TÉLÉPHONE (avec l'indicatif pays).

La question est sur toutes les lèvres alors que Faure Gnassingbé était hier à Bamako « pour une visite de travail de 24 heures, essentiellement consacrée au sort des 46 soldats ivoiriens détenus au Mali depuis maintenant près de six mois. Selon Jeune Afrique, le chef de l'État togolais prendra ensuite la direction de la Côte d'Ivoire, où il doit rencontrer Alassane Ouattara. Depuis leur condamnation, le 30 décembre, à vingt ans de prison pour, entre autres, "attentat et complot contre le gouvernement et atteinte à la sûreté extérieure de l'État", l'enjeu est désormais de savoir si le président de la transition malienne, Assimi Goïta, acceptera de leur accorder une grâce ». Abidjan échaudé et prudent… Et Jeune Afrique de rappeler qu'un « mémorandum d'entente entre les deux pays avait été signé courant décembre » pour la libération des 46 soldats. Et « si personne, à Abidjan, n'a été surpris de voir les soldats comparaître le 29 décembre devant la Cour d'assises de Bamako, les autorités ivoiriennes sont tombées des nues en découvrant son lourd verdict, et tout particulièrement le sort réservé aux trois femmes », qui avaient été libérées en septembre et qui ont été condamnées à mort par contumace. « Alassane Ouattara aurait été particulièrement affecté par le non-respect de la promesse malienne, croit encore savoir le site panafricain. Échaudé par ce nouveau contretemps, Abidjan se montre désormais extrêmement prudent. Certaines sources caressent tout de même l'espoir de voir les soldats libérés dans les prochains jours, peut-être même d'ici à la fin de la semaine. » ► À lire aussi : Affaire des 46 soldats ivoiriens: à Bamako, Gnassingbé plaide pour la grâce présidentielle « Chou blanc ou fumée blanche ? » « Vers une grâce présidentielle pour les soldats ivoiriens ? », s'interroge en écho Maliweb à Bamako. « Face à ce qui ressemble fort à un blocage, la grâce présidentielle reste le seul espoir des partisans d'une solution négociée », pointe le site malien. « Chou blanc ou fumée blanche ? », s'interroge également le journal en ligne Malikilé. « La visite, au Mali, du président de la République du Togo est un indice qui nourrit beaucoup d'espoir du côté de la lagune Ebrié et dans certains palais présidentiels de l'espace Cédéao. » Malikilé qui reste dans l'expectative : « La visite de Faure Gnassingbé est-elle une chance pour un dénouement heureux de cette crise Mali-Côte d'Ivoire ?

Hello Wine Enthusiasts Welcome to the Daily Taste for Friday May 13th, 2022As wine grapes mature during the growing season, there acid levels drop while they accumulate sugar.  That's why if you taste a green berry early in the growing season, it tastes very tart and astringent. As harvest approaches, acidity is lower in the grapes and sugar is high which gives the grapes their sweetness.  Wine grapes contain many acids, but the two most prominent acids are Tartaric Acid and Malic Acid.    Tartaric acid is a fairly strong acid (among wine acids) while Malic acid, which is found in many fruits and vegetables is the acid responsible for the sour taste in fruits.  Acidity is an important component in a finished wine because not enough acid makes the wine taste flat, while too much acid can accentuate astringency.  This is where the process of malolactic fermentation comes in to play.  Malolactic fermentation is done by the presence of special bacteria called malolactic bacteria. The main purpose of malolactic fermentation or sometimes called secondary fermentation is to convert the harsh-tasting malic acid into the much softer, smoother lactic acid.  It can also increase a wines stability before bottling to prevent the malolactic fermentation from occurring naturally in the bottle.  When malolactic fermentation occurs in the bottle, the wine looks cloudy and can be fizzy.  These are faults in a finished wine that winemakers want to avoid.    Most red wines go through malolactic fermentation to make them smoother and to accentuate fruity and berry characteristics.  Red wines that have gone through malolactic fermentation are softer with a full, smooth mouthfeel.    Only some white wines go through malolactic fermentation like Chardonnay and Viognier.  Malolactic bacteria can release a byproduct called Diacetyl which is responsible for the creamy, buttery taste found in some Chardonnays. Chardonnays that don't go through malolactic fermentation are usually more fruity, crisp wines.  Malolactic bacteria can be present already in the winery on the equipment so a spontaneous malolactic fermentation can occur.   Otherwise, the winemaker can inoculate the wine with a specific malolactic culture.   Malolactic fermentation can be done simultaneously with the alcoholic fermentation, but the most common practice is to encourage the malolactic fermentation after the alcoholic fermentation when the wine has been transferred to barrel where the temperatures are perfect for the bacteria to thrive.  Finally If you enjoy the content of this podcast, I encourage you to go to the show website at www.obsessedwithwine.net and click on the link at the top of the page called “Buy me a glass of wine”  Unfortunately it doesn't buy me any wine but it does give you the opportunity to donate to the show which helps me offset some of the costs of production.  Anything you can donate is greatly appreciated!  

Siamo stati in Mali, dove c'è un'altra Bucha, il villaggio di Moura dove alcuni giorni fa personale della milizia privata russa Wagner ed esercito maliano hanno ucciso almeno 200 civili: ne abbiamo parlato con Francesco Strazzari (docente di Relazioni Internazionali, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna di Pisa) e con Benjamin Roger, giornalista di Jeune Afrique. Subito dopo siamo tornati sulla crisi ucraina: a commentare l'espulsione di 30 diplomatici russi dall'Italia con noi c'era il sottosegretario agli Esteri Benedetto Della Vedova.Infine abbiamo spiegato la possibilità di un processo per crimini di guerra con la professoressa Chiara Ragni, docente di Diritto Internazionale all'Università Statale di Milano.

Dan Berger and Dan Barwick and two bottles of Vermentino. Dan Barwick is back on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger, with Harry Duke also in the studio. Dan Barwick is here to talk about being the winemaker at Trecini Winery, and more. Dan Barwick has been on California Wine Country before, most recently this episode of July 21 2021, and also this episode of July 29, 2022. First, we have two bottles from Dan Berger's cellar. First, a Gary Farrell Chardonnay from 2005. It was a really good vintage in Sonoma County. Theresa Heredia who is the winemaker at Gary Farrell has done a fabulous job making these Chardonnays. It is big and rich, full malolactic fermentation, almost oily. “This wine is pretty big.” But it is 17 years old! Only Dan “Lay It Down” Berger keeps Chardonnays this long. The other style, steely and bright, the opposite of this, has been more popular lately. Some people don't prefer it because the fruit is behind the oak flavors. It's going to work with lobster served with drawn butter. Dan Barwick says it has a good backbone of acidity, to have lasted this long. Dan Berger also has two bottles left of Iron Horse 2005 Chardonnay, which has no malolactic fermentation, and the two make a great contrast. ML converts malic acid to lactic acid. Malic acid “apples” lactic “milk” the acids convert to a buttery flavor and the acids become more lush and oily. If you want that style, it's easy to do. Trecini Winery is owned by the Vicini family, who started the winery in 1999. There are three of them, so Trecini is an abbreviation of Tre Amici, which means three friends in Italian. They started making a RR Sauvignon Blanc, they also have a Chardonnay. They also have an Italian line, including a Vermentino and Dan Barwick has brought a couple of bottles of that. Trecini Winery sources Sauvignon Blanc from vineyards that Dan calls mature, which are at least 15 years old, so the vines and their character are more established. They also make Russian River Pinot Noir. Dan describes the process as harvesting while there is still good acidity, keeping the oak under control and letting the wine express itself. Their tasting room is easy to reach in Santa Rosa. It's at the corner of 7th and Humboldt. Dan Barwick brought an Italian Vermentino from Sardinia. Dan Barwick says it is well balanced. It is a white grape native to Italy, almost all in Tuscany, Liguria and Sardinia. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Bottle Barn online for the best deals on wine, beer and spirits, including  Trecini wines. Bottle Barn has lots of Trecini wines. Dan Berger mentions especially their Rosé is also very good. Bottle Barn also has this Vermentino. The wine is fresh and fruit-forward. This has a more lemony component in the mid-palette, so it would go with delicate seafood dishes. It is almost completely dry, but not totally, so you get some of the richness they built into this wine. The plan is for Dan Barwick to go to Italy to work with the vineyard to make the wine even better. The label even includes some food pairing ideas, indicating shellfish, seafood and sushi. Dan Berger mentions that a lot of salmon and tuna is in sushi and sashimi, so the strong acidity in this wine makes a good pairing. Dan Barwick tells the very interesting story of his pathway to becoming a winemaker today, which includes working as a butcher in Harrod's in London in the ‘70s, then he got moved to the wine department. He took a 6-week training course and he had to organize it and he learned about wine there. He got the job because he was the only one on the staff who knew French. Harrod's is not an easy place to get a job, says Dan Berger. Then he got promoted to take a two-year course to become a manager in various departments. After that he took a long trip to California for about a year and a half. One evening he came to Tahoe City and entered a bar, where he saw a childhood friend sitting at the bar.

W Turkowicach w powiecie hrubieszowskim przez wiele lat istniał sierociniec, który prowadziło Zgromadzenia Sióstr Służebniczek NMP. W Zgromadzeniu pracowała, jako wychowawczyni siostra Longina Trudzińska. W czasie wojny do zadań siostry i wychowanków należało przywożenie zaopatrzenia kolejką wąskotorową. Był to okras nasilonych walk polsko-ukraińskich. W połowie maja 1944 siostra i kilku chłopców wyruszyło jak się później okazało w ostatnią podróż. Przez wiele lat ich los był nieznany. W audycji głos zabierają: siostra Marta Komborska –archiwistka z gromadzenia Sióstr Służebniczek Najświętszej Marii Panny Niepokalanie Poczętej w Starej Wsi na Podkarpaciu; dr Mariusz Sawa – historyk; Rafał Łukiewicz – wikariusz Parafii pod Wezwaniem Trójcy Przenajświętszej w Starym Dzikowie, pochodzący rodem z Turkowic; Kazimiera Leszek – w czasie wojny mieszkanka Malic; Krystyna Cieśla – mieszkanka Turkowic; Danuta Butryn – dyrektorka Szkoły Podstawowej imienia siostry Wandy Longiny Trudzińskiej i Siedmiu Wychowanków w Sahryniu;

The very talented Robby Malic stops by and talks about getting into the groove of our music scene, his most recent project, and plans for the future. Engineer/artist/producer Joenis talks about why his chooses engineering/making music over producers. The young goats talk about how they met and which ultimately led to both of them working together. We talk about T Pain's depression, and whether Usher was right or not about him being responsible for ruining music. Apparently there's a chicken shortage and Mike isn't happy. If you find $10,000 would you give it back? K asks Robby how can artist build a fanbase when struggling to do so. Trick Daddy says Beyonce can't sing and K asks everyone if they agree. Of course we had to talk about the gun toting citizen on High St, Megan and Da Baby beef, and of course some inaaprioate things!

I interview Jessika Malic about her long history of talent around journalism and assisting organizations around the world, most recently the #AREAAGreaterPhoenixChapter.

Malgré les embûches auxquelles elles sont quotidiennement confrontées du fait de leur genre, elles sont le moteur de l’économie africaine.

Quand une personne est malade, sa famille se retrouve souvent en première ligne pour la soutenir au quotidien. En France, près de 11 millions de personnes prennent chaque jour soin d’un proche âgé, malade ou handicapé. Si le rôle d'aidant implique de nombreux aspects positifs, il est parfois lourd à porter. Quel est le regard porté sur ces aidants ? Quelle relation les unit aux soignants et au patient ? Comment concilier sa vie d’aidant, avec sa vie professionnelle ? Comment instaurer des limites ? Quelles solutions apporter à ce qui peut devenir un calvaire quotidien ?

Peu ou pas de grandes avancées à l’issue des trois jours de discussion entre les militaires du CNSP et les émissaires de la Cédéao. « La délégation ouest-africaine, conduite par Goodluck Jonathan, et les membres du Comité national pour le salut du peuple sont parvenus à des compromis sur certains points », noteLe Pays, à Bamako. Tout d’abord, « le rétablissement d’IBK dans ses fonctions de président de la République n’est plus à l’ordre du jour ; l’ancien chef de l’État sera autorisé à séjourner dans la résidence de son choix et pourra faire des contrôles médicaux à l’étranger ; le sort du Mali quant à d’éventuelles sanctions sera décidé par les chefs d’État de la Cédéao au cours du sommet extraordinaire prévu pour demain mercredi. » Et c’est tout pour l’instant. Finalement, relève Le Pays, « rien n’a été décidé concernant la future transition, ni sa taille, ni son président et encore moins son gouvernement… » « Laissons ces braves soldats faire leur travail » Justement, « CNSP, ne rien précipiter », titre le quotidien Malikilé, pour qui en effet rien ne presse… « Le CNSP est là et y restera le temps qu’il faudra pour remettre le Mali sur les rails, estime le quotidien bamakois. Remettre le Mali sur les rails, c’est rectifier la marche de la démocratie entamée en 1992, mais que des pseudo-démocrates, délinquants à boubous blancs, ont dévoyé, faisant de notre pays l’un des pays les plus corrompus de la planète. » L’Indépendant, autre quotidien malien, est sur la même ligne : « Laissons ces braves soldats faire leur travail sans interférence. Tournons résolument la page IBK (…). Évitons de déifier ou de prophétiser tel ou tel individu qui serait le Moïse sauvé des eaux. Restons persuadés que le salut passe par une refondation de l’État, de nos textes et lois fondamentaux, la venue d’une nouvelle République et surtout la reconversion de nos mentalités. Travaillons-y avec nos braves soldats. » La tentation de rester au pouvoir ? D’autres médias du pays sont plus circonspects, à l’instar du site d’information Inf@7 : « Ce coup d’État qui vient parachever la longue lutte des forces patriotiques regroupées au sein du M5-RFP a été accueilli avec enthousiasme et soulagement par le vaillant peuple malien. Le meeting de vendredi dernier du M5-RFP n’était rien d’autre qu’un soutien tacite au putsch. Les animateurs de ce grand rassemblement populaire n’ont d’ailleurs pas hésité à qualifier l’acte des militaires de "coup de grâce salvateur et libérateur". » Toutefois, s’interroge Inf@7, « l’Imam Mahmoud Dicko et ses alliés du M5-RFP vont-ils déjà naïvement dérouler le tapis rouge devant le CNSP ? Ne doivent-ils pas revendiquer leur victoire et diriger la transition ? Assimi Goïta et ses hommes vont-ils s’accrocher au pouvoir en permettant juste aux forces politiques de jouer le second rôle dans la gestion de la  ? » Asphyxie économique ? En attendant, il y a le problème de l’embargo imposé par les pays voisins du Mali… C’est ce que pointe Le Monde Afrique : une sanction qui « pourrait vite étouffer nombre de Maliens vivant sur les transferts de fonds, tant les opérateurs ont coupé leurs transactions depuis les pays de la Cédéao. L’embargo sera-t-il levé ? (…) Les émissaires (de la Cédéao) "n’avaient pas de pouvoir de décision", relève un médiateur, "il faudra attendre la conférence des chefs d’État de demain mercredi pour cela", afin que ces premiers puissent rapporter les consultations à l’ensemble des pays membres de l’organisation intergouvernementale. » Vers une levée des sanctions ? Enfin, pour Aujourd’hui Ouagadougou, la Cédéao devrait se montrer clémente demain… « La Cédéao se retrouve piégée par ces soldats, décidemment instruits par les exemples passés ; une Cédéao qui ne pourra demain que lever ces sanctions, estime donc le quotidien burkinabè, en espérant que les militaires feront toujours preuve d’ouverture d’esprit et de compréhension. Mais en même temps, la Cédéao devra être sur ses gardes, prévient Aujourd’hui, car si ce coup d’État a été jugé comme un moindre mal et finalement accepté par la communauté internationale et les Maliens, (on a déjà vu par le passé) des militaires africains qui avaient pris le pouvoir par les armes se diviser, certains estimant qu’ils pouvaient faire tomber le treillis et se faire adouber par les isoloirs. »

Magnesium deficiency is an obstacle to the chelation of toxins. Magnesium Disodium versions of EDTA (Magnesium Disodium EDTA (C10H12MgN2Na2O8)), the most widely recognized chelation agent for heavy metals and certain minerals, can be easily found in medical literature and needs no introduction here (1). This EDTA stands as proof of magnesium's role in the synergy of chelation in the human body. How acids and metals or certain mineral salts react outside of the body, by mixing industrially produced acids to specific metals to produce combined forms, should not be confused with the “seemingly identical” process mirrored within the living human body.In the living body, enzymes play a key role in these interactions. Magnesium is involved in all of these interactions through the enzymes' own dependence on magnesium for a more perfect transformation, catalyzation, chelation or conjugation. Magnesium is an essential factor for enzyme efficiency. Magnesium is also a natural calcium channel blocker, reducing the cell's rigidity.

Gorilla Mode Nitric Pre-Workout is the most potent and comprehensive stimulant free pre-workout on the market in ALL aspects. All angles of saturating the muscle with blood and hydration have been addressed in this formula and are quite literally maxed out. https://youtu.be/iFlmwQXBs6U Gorilla Mode Nitric Supplement Facts Per Full Daily Dose: L-Citrulline – 10,000 mg Creatine Monohydrate – 5000 mg Betaine Anhydrous – 4000 mg GlycerPump™ (65% Glycerol Powder) – 4000 mg Malic Acid – 3000 mg Agmatine Sulfate – 1500 mg Nitrosigine® (inositol-stabilized arginine silicate) – 1500 mg Sodium Nitrate – 1500 mg VasoDrive-AP® (isoleucyl-prolyl-proline (IPP) and valyl-prolyl-proline (VPP) isolated from hydrolyzed milk casein) – 254 mg Gorilla Mode Nitric Vs. Other Pre-Workouts On The Market This is the most maxed out stimulant free pre-workout formula on the market in all aspects. It is also the most comprehensive formula that targets nitric oxide (NO), vasodilation and intracellular hyper-hydration from multiple angles, while maintaining top end dosages across all of those pathways. We completely saturate the traditional Arginine–eNOS–nitric oxide (NO) pathway with a massive 10 gram dose of L-Citrulline, 1.5 grams of Nitrosigine and 1.5 grams of Agmatine Sulfate. The often neglected nitrate–nitrite–nitric oxide (NO) pathway is also topped out with a 1500 mg dose of Sodium Nitrate. A high level of intracellular hyper-hydration is achieved with 5 grams of Creatine Monohydrate, 4 grams of Glycerpump and 4 grams of Betaine Anhydrous. We also addressed the enzyme angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) with VasoDrive-AP®, which acts as an ACE inhibitor and significantly increases vasodilation.  Finally, we have 3 grams of Malic Acid added in on top of the 10 grams of pure L-Citrulline to act as a Krebs cycle intermediary and counter lactic acid buildup during training. Some of these pathways are so maxed out that we could have easily just chosen one of them and sold the product for $39.99 and still had one of the most potent pre-workouts in the industry. Instead, I packed it all into one absurd product that clocks in with over 30 grams of efficacious active ingredients per full dose. It was incredibly expensive to create, but I am very happy with how it turned out, and I am not exaggerating when I say that this pre-workout is absolutely unmatched. Basically, I just included exactly what I would want to see in a stimulant free pre-workout, even at the obvious detriment of our margins. This product is even more potent than Gorilla Mode when it comes to pure pump and performance. The full daily dose is 2 scoops. Even a half dose (1 scoop) is still far more potent than the majority of other pre-workouts out there at their max dosages. This is another product I wanted to be head and shoulders, clear as day, superior to everything else in the industry. Just like in my description of how Gorilla Mode stacks up to other products in this industry, we can actually back up why our product is better than the rest. When (insert fitness influencer name here) launches their own supplement line, they will regurgitate the same story about how their products are effectively dosed, only use the highest quality ingredients, blah blah blah. They don't even know what they're selling half the time, let alone what combinations of ingredients work synergistically, or how to dose a product properly. They employ others to manufacture their products, or use a pre-made formula their manufacturer uses for every company where they just slap a different label on it and sell it for a huge margin. At the end of the day, most fitness influencers have no idea what goes into making an effective product. They don't know how their products work, they probably wouldn’t even use them if they didn’t sell them, they didn't formulate them, and they have to pay the overhead involved with having a team under them who is responsible for all of that. As you’ve already experienced with Gorilla Mode and Gorilla Mind Nootropics, it is me formulating the products, and they work because I actually put in them what I would want in a product and buy myself if I didn’t have a company. The same applies with Gorilla Mode Nitric. If I didn’t have this product, for an effective stim-free pre-workout I would probably be mixing up 6000-10,000 mg of L-Citrulline for vasodilation (with 6000 mg being the bare minimum of pure L-Citrulline, not Citrulline Malate, and would be dependent on my budget at the time), a saturation dose of Creatine Monohydrate (5000 mg), 3000-4000 mg of Glycerpump to hyper-hydrate the muscle with water, and maybe a quarter teaspoon of Himalayan Pink Salt. The fact that a significant amount of supplement companies will skimp out on Creatine Monohydrate and either not include it at all, or only include a subpar dosage, really sheds light on how scammy this industry can be. That is the cheapest ingredient they could easily dose properly, and even that they won't shell out the money for in their formulas. It’s not hard to put 5 grams of Creatine in a pre-workout, and it is actually pretty cheap to put in there. The reason is, they want you to go buy their creatine product, and will intentionally manipulate their ingredient profile to be deficient in several areas to make you buy more stuff from them. With my products, everything is turnkey. You don’t need to go buy a separate Creatine product from us, you don’t need to stack extra stims on top of our stim-based products, you don’t need to go buy something else to get the max dose of a certain ingredient in any of our formulas, everything you need is in each product at an efficacious dosage. Flavor And Mixability The flavor we chose to start with for Nitric was Mango Peach as it is a more mainstream appealing flavor than Tiger's Blood. Tiger's Blood and a fruit punch flavor will probably be next in the pipeline of flavor releases. Mango Peach is easily a 9 or 10/10 flavor, even for the pickiest of tongues. As there’s such a high concentration of ingredients in this formula we were really happy with how the flavor systems turned out. We were expecting something this potent to be nearly impossible to avoid tasting like ass. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case. It also mixes very well considering the concentration of L-Citrulline, GlycerPump, and all of the other ingredients in this product. There is some grittiness, but that just comes with the territory with putting out a 35 gram serving size product with 10 grams of L-Citrulline and 4 grams of Glycerpump. You will just have to use a bit more water than you would with your standard pre-workout because there are simply more active ingredients in this product that will require more liquid to mix well. How To Dose Gorilla Mode Nitric Mix 1-2 scoops of Gorilla Mode Nitric in 12-14 ounces of water and consume 30 minutes prior to training. Vary the amount of water to achieve your desired flavor level. First time users should begin use with 1/2-1 scoop or less to evaluate tolerance. DO NOT EXCEED 2 SCOOPS IN ANY 24 HOUR PERIOD. Gorilla Mode Nitric Ingredients Breakdown L-Citrulline – 10,000 mg L-Citrulline is the most effective supplement you can use to boost nitric oxide (NO) in the body. Why Nitric Oxide (NO) Is Important Nitric oxide (NO) is made naturally in our bodies and plays a significant role in cardiovascular health. It dilates blood vessels (vasodilation), which lowers blood pressure and increases oxygen in the blood. https://youtu.be/EoYhQIHmKoE Nitric oxide (NO) acts as a messenger to signal blood vessels to dilate, or contract and relax. Sufficient nitric oxide is needed to signal blood vessels to contract or relax to ensure blood is able to flow to and from the heart effectively. Nitric oxide production decreases with age, consequently reducing the elasticity of the cardiovascular system, and impairing the body's ability to ensure sufficient amounts of oxygenated blood are reaching vital organs. Eating enough nitrates and/or supplementing with nitric oxide precursors is very important to ensure that your cardiovascular system maintains optimized function as you get older. In addition, maintaining optimal nitric oxide levels will make you more vascular, allow you to get a much better pump, increase muscle volume, enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to working muscles, support recovery and improve overall physical performance. Increased Muscular Endurance Citrulline has also shown to significantly increase muscular endurance, with one study finding that compared to placebo, a single 8000 mg dose of Citrulline Malate increased the number of reps performed per set, on every set after set 2 [R]. The impact Citrulline had on performance increased the more sets were performed. During the last set performed, the group that took Citrulline had a 52.92% increase in the number of reps they could perform relative to placebo. It also decreased muscle soreness by 40% at 24 and 48 hours after the training session compared to placebo. Effect On Body Composition There isn’t much data on the direct effect Citrulline has on muscle growth and fat loss in humans. However, a rodent model assessed the effect Citrulline had on body composition and found that 20 month old rats that were given a diet that included the human equivalent dose of 160 mg/kg per day for 12 weeks had 13% less body fat and 9% more lean body mass relative to the rats fed a standard diet without Citrulline supplementation [R]. Visceral fat mass was also reduced by 32%. The mortality rate of the rats taking Citrulline was 0%, while the standard diet fed rats had a mortality rate of 20%. L-Citrulline is one of the most promising supplements on the market and has significantly more upside above and beyond its increase in vascularity and pumps in the gym. The Maximum Effective Dose Of L-Citrulline Citrulline is found in watermelons. You would need to eat 1.5 kg of watermelon every day to get 3 grams of L-Citrulline though, which is the minimum effective dose [R]. To get the maximum effective dose of L-Citrulline from your diet, you would need to eat 5.0 kg of watermelon per day to get 10 grams (10,000 mg) of L-Citrulline [R]. Obviously, nobody is going to eat that much watermelon, nor is it a good idea to begin with in my opinion when there are far better ways to allocate your macronutrient/micronutrient intake allotments. This is why L-Citrulline supplementation could actually be worthwhile. The Problem With Citrulline Malate In The Supplement Industry While L-Citrulline is a great supplement to have in your daily regimen, there is a red flag around L-Citrulline supplementation that you need to know about. I'm sure you've seen that some supplements have L-Citrulline in them, and some have Citrulline Malate. Some even say "L-Citrulline Malate". This is a cheap trick companies use to deceive customers. Citrulline Malate is composed of 50% Malic Acid, unless the ratio states otherwise. Authentic Citrulline Malate is produced by chemically bonding free-form L-Citrulline to DL-Malic Acid. When L-Citrulline is chemically bonded to DL-Malic Acid, the end result is Citrulline Malate, which has unique properties. But the problem with the Citrulline Malate in the supplement industry is that it doesn't have this chemical reaction. It's just Citrulline mixed with malic acid in a big mixing vat in the manufacturing facility. There is no chemical bond like there should be to create authentic Citrulline Malate. It's just the two ingredients being mixed together in a cheap blend, and it's sold as "Citrulline Malate", or "L-Citrulline Malate". The reality is that it's just Citrulline stirred up with malic acid. While this isn't a huge deal in itself, the problem lies in the labeling practices companies use to artificially inflate the perceived potency of their product. 6-8 grams is seen as the max clinically proven efficacious dosage in the supplement industry in general. At least, that's what companies will tell you in their marketing. First of all, we already know that the actual maximum efficacious dosage of L-Citrulline is 10 grams per day [R]. In addition, the main issue is that the "L-Citrulline" in their product is actually as low as half of the stated label claim. As mentioned, Citrulline Malate is just a mixture of Citrulline and malic acid. Somehow, companies are getting away with labeling their products with the chemically bonded form Citrulline Malate and claiming they have 6-8 grams per serving in their pre-workout, when they actually just have 3-4 grams of Citrulline and 3-4 grams of malic acid per serving. Instead of labeling the following: L-Citrulline - 3 grams Malic Acid - 3 grams These companies are labeling their products like this: Citrulline Malate - 6 grams Or like this: L-Citrulline Malate - 6 grams Making you think you are getting a high dose, when in reality you are getting the bare minimum efficacious dose per serving of 3 grams. Sometimes, companies will tweak the ratio to be a bit more in favor of a higher Citrulline content relative to malic acid, but this is rarely higher than a 2:1 ratio. So, if you see the following: Citrulline Malate (2:1) - 6 grams That just means that the company has 4 grams of L-Citrulline and 2 grams of malic acid per serving. This is the exact manufacturing process involved in producing the L-Citrulline and "Citrulline Malate" you get in pre-workouts in the supplement industry: As you can see, the Citrulline Malate manufacturing flowchart on the right literally just says, "mix". If this was authentic Citrulline Malate, you wouldn't need to mix L-Citrulline with malic acid, it would be chemically bonded together by the end of the manufacturing process. You're not really getting what you're paying for, and most don't realize this is a tactic in the industry to get better margins and artificially inflate a products perceived efficacy. Even if a pre-workout had what on paper appears to be a top end efficacious dose of 8 grams per serving, how much L-Citrulline are you actually getting out of that serving? 4-6 grams at most. I have yet to see a pre-workout formula actually hit a top end L-Citrulline dosage, and of the ones that get close, they use Citrulline Malate to inflate their label. In addition, even if you had the bonded version (which supplements don't), reacted Citrulline Malate will break apart into L-Citrulline and malic acid right away after its mixed in water. It's all just a trick to artificially inflate a products perceived potency on a label, as each ingredient should be listed separately. Most supplements have malic acid anyways in the "other ingredients" section, which is still an active ingredient that does have some potential performance benefits that you would get from the “Malate” portion of Citrulline Malate. L-Citrulline and malic acid work via a different mechanism of action. Citrulline bypasses the liver and gets converted to arginine, which increases NO levels in the body. Malic acid is a Krebs cycle intermediary that counters lactic acid buildup. How much do you need of each though? With Citrulline, we know where the top end data lies. Malic acid, we don't. There is research on Citrulline and Citrulline Malate, but not much data on supplementing with malic acid to replenish depleted levels as a Krebs cycle intermediary. I don't think we can make a generalized overview on how effective the malic acid component was in the Citrulline Malate research either because we can't determine if the results were derived from the malic acid, the L-Citrulline, or both. Considering this, I included an additional 3000 mg of malic acid separately in the Gorilla Mode Nitric formula as an active ingredient in the main ingredients panel. As mentioned, malic acid is most commonly used as a filler in supplements, and will be found in small amounts in many product "other ingredients" sections. The only other time it is used is by companies artificially inflating their perceived L-Citrulline dosage via Citrulline Malate. No companies are including a maxed out dose of pure L-Citrulline as well as malic acid separetely though. It is always a subpar amount of each. So, if there is some sort of performance enhancing benefit to having a high dose of malic acid, you are also getting it via Nitric on top of the maximum efficacious 10,000 mg dose of pure L-Citrulline. At the end of the day, for vasodilation you should concern yourself with is how much pure L-Citrulline is in your pre-workout supplement. I have yet to see a product with more than 6000 mg of PURE L-Citrulline. I have only seen a handful of products with 6 grams of L-Citrulline, and another handful of products with 8 grams of Citrulline Malate (which only yields 4-5 grams of actual L-Citrulline, with the remainder as malic acid). I put 10 grams of PURE L-Citrulline in Gorilla Mode Nitric, as well as 3 grams of malic acid separately, so you can get the full benefits of the max dosage of each ingredient and transparently see exactly what you are actually getting in the product. Even if you decide to only use a half dose of this product you will still get 5000 mg of pure L-Citrulline, and the formula is still top notch even when cut in half. Citrulline Vs Arginine One of the most well-known pump ingredients is Arginine. The problem with L-Arginine is that it is very ineffective at increasing Nitric Oxide synthesis. Logically, you would assume that taking Arginine would be the most effective way to increase Arginine levels in the body. However, this is not the case. Oral L-Arginine is taken up and metabolized by the liver so much that it does not actually effectively increase Arginine levels, and it may even be unsafe to use because of how much excessive urea it yields [R]. L-Citrulline bypasses the liver and passes freely to the kidneys where it is metabolized to Arginine [R]. The most effective supplement that can be used to increase Arginine levels in the body to improve cardiovascular and metabolic health outcomes is L-Citrulline [R]. L-Citrulline supplementation has shown to lower blood pressure and provide atherogenic-endothelial protection [R]. When it comes to NO precursors that significantly improve pumps, nothing beats an efficacious dose of pure L-Citrulline. Creatine Monohydrate – 5000 mg Creatine is the best studied and most effective performance enhancing supplement outside of exogenous hormones and drugs. Creatine’s Effect On Muscle Size And Strength Supplementing with creatine has shown time and time again to significantly improve strength, power output and muscle size [R]. Creatine’s effect on strength is facilitated by increasing the body’s stores of phosphocreatine, which is then used during high intensity exercise to produce ATP [R, R]. Creatine’s effect on muscle size is facilitated by drawing water into the muscle via osmosis, consequently increasing body weight and muscle size. In addition, with the increased strength creatine provides, heavier weights can be used in the gym which provide more stimulus for growth, consequently increasing muscle accrual in the long-term. Creatine supplementation also appears to increase the number of myonuclei that satellite cells will donate to damaged muscle fibers, which increases the potential for growth of those fibers [R]. A typical omnivorous diet provides about 1 gram of creatine per day, which isn’t enough to get the benefits you would from supplementation, and also isn’t nearly enough to support health status and methylation in those with genetic polymorphisms. Creatine’s Effect On Methylation And Health Status About 1 gram of creatine is endogenously produced in the body naturally in young healthy adults [R]. Most of the human body's total creatine and phosphocreatine stores are found in skeletal muscle, while the remainder is distributed in the blood, brain, and other tissues [R]. While there are a host of processes in the body that rely on creatine to be carried out optimally (and are often completely neglected), one of the most notable functions of creatine is neurological support [R]. In addition, the endogenous synthesis of creatine relies on a process called methylation. Arginine and Glycine are combined by an enzyme to form guanidinoacetate, which is then methylated into creatine. The problem is that this process is dependent on a mechanism of action that is commonly inhibited in the general population via endogenous Arginine deficiency, Glycine deficiency, or MTHFR polymorphisms. The MTHFR gene codes for an enzyme called methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase or MTHFR. This enzyme is needed for the production of DNA and methylation pathways that are essential for all bodily functions. Genetic variations in this gene results in reduced activity of the enzyme and has been associated with cardiovascular disease, neurological defects, some forms of cancer, and a myriad of other diseases and disorders [R, R]. Personally, I am homozygous for C677T of MTHFR, which results in a 80-90% decrease in my efficiency in processing folic acid. The direct reflection of that in blood biomarkers can be high homocysteine and low B12 and folate levels. I determined this via a simple 23andMe genetics test. Upwards of 45% of your body’s methylation demands are used to synthesize creatine. For someone with a MTHFR polymorphism, you can put a significant amount of stress on your methylation pathway and deplete far more methyl groups than you should be just to create the 1 gram per day that you endogenously synthesize. We lose up to 2-3 grams of creatine per day because it converts to creatinine and is then passed out of the body via urine. As you can see, adequate replenishment of creatine is probably not being accomplished if you aren’t consistently eating a fair bit of meat or fish. And for those with impaired methylation pathways, supplementing with exogenous creatine is likely the only way creatine replenishment can be achieved. One study found that supplementing with 5 grams of creatine per day lowered plasma homocysteine levels by almost 50% in the subject who is homozygous for C677T of MTHFR [R]. Creatine supplementation can significantly lower the body’s demands for methylation and prevent the depletion of methyl groups. This is why I personally supplement with 5 grams of creatine per day. Do You Need To Cycle Off Of Creatine? No, you do not need to cycle off of creatine. Your body does not get used to it, and long-term use has shown to be safe in healthy adults [R]. Betaine Anhydrous – 4000 mg Betaine, also called Trimethylglycine, acts as a methyl donor and an osmolyte in the body. Earlier in the creatine breakdown, I briefly outlined the importance of having a sufficient amount of methyl donors available for methylation processes in the body, including the endogenous synthesis of creatine. For some individuals (depending on PEMT gene variations) Betaine can substitute for folate and B12 in the regeneration of methionine and can be choline sparing via this mechanism. It can also provide additional needed methyl donors when over-depletion occurs in genetically predisposed individuals that do not supplement with creatine, or have other deficiencies. As an osmolyte, Betaine helps balance fluid levels inside and outside of cells. The main reason I included Betaine in this formula is for its ability to induce intracellular hyper-hydration. By improving hydration status in cells, Betaine increases the pump you get in the gym, and can help prevent dehydration during exercise. Research has also shown that Betaine supplementation may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, as well as improve digestion and liver function [R, R, R, R]. In a performance enhancing context, Betaine supplementation has also shown to increase power, endurance, muscle growth and fat loss [R, R, R]. How significant will this effect on body composition be in practical application? Negligible in my honest opinion, but the enhanced pump made this ingredient worthwhile to add into the formula. GlycerPump™ (65% Glycerol Powder) – 4000 mg Glycerol significantly enhances pumps and performance by hyper-hydrating the muscle with water. Glycerol’s Effect On Hydration, Pumps And Endurance If you drink a lot of water with nothing else in hopes of hyper-hydrating your muscles, the fall in osmolarity in your body stimulates the kidneys to remove most of the excess water within an hour. If you add glycerol to the water, this prevents the drop in osmolarity and can extend the hyper-hydration of your muscles by up to four hours. By adding Glycerol to your pre-workout, you can hold upwards of an extra liter of water via this hyper-hydrating effect. Hydration is one of the most critical factors when it comes to performance. Aside from massive pumps, Glycerol use has shown to increase endurance by as much as 24%, as well as improve aerobic and anaerobic power and performance [R, R]. Only a 2% loss in fluids can result in as much as a 20% decrease in exercise performance. GlycerPump™ Vs Other Forms Of Glycerol We chose the trademarked GlycerPump because it doesn’t clump up nearly as much as other forms of Glycerol powder and it’s more stable. Glycerol is normally a liquid at standard temperature and pressure, and many supplement companies have attempted to create a powder form of Glycerol that is stable. Glycerol products get clumpy, have horrible viscosity and have a short shelf life. Because of this, most companies avoid this ingredient entirely, as it can cause severe clumping within just a couple months of being manufactured. Regular glycerol containing products only yield as low as 10% glycerol, which makes them ineffective, and higher yielding glycerol products can be unstable within complex formulas like ours and result in a clumpy product, or complete product failure. GlycerPump™ is created using unique spray drying technology, yielding a stable powder form of glycerol standardized to 65%. It is MUCH better than other alternatives and won't result in the powder turning into a rock. Keep in mind, while it is manageable, this is not a clump-free product, and there’s nothing I could do about that if I wanted to include the high concentration of ingredients that I did in Gorilla Mode Nitric. Store Gorilla Mode Nitric in a cool dry place, and if it clumps, that’s just what comes with the territory with a product dosed like this. If it clumps, just get out a knife or spoon and chop it up, and it will still mix fine once it hits the water in your cup. Agmatine Sulfate – 1500 mg Agmatine has shown to induce NO production via the same processes as arginine, but does it far more effectively [R]. This results in even bigger pumps in the gym and improved overall performance. Agmatine has also shown to be neuroprotective against excitotoxicity and stroke, and also has anti-anxiety and anti-depressant effects that may enhance state of well-being and mood elevation with supplementation. Agmatine has also shown to manipulate pain receptors, which may result in an increased pain tolerance during intense training. Agmatine is a very misunderstood compound and is believed by some to antagonize other vasodilators. Agmatine works in a more selective way than other vasodilators, as it only increases one of the three Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms. It also decreases the other two NOS isoforms, which is where the hypothesis about it being vasoconstricting was raised as a legitimate concern. The three NOS isoforms include iNOS, nNOS and eNOS. They each play their own role in certain tissues to regulate vasodilation. iNOS (inducible) produces high concentrations of NO via an immune system response to kill harmful bacteria. In excess, iNOS can be inflammatory. nNOS (neuronal) regulates neurological health and facilitates communication in the brain across neurons. In excess, nNOS can inhibit the growth and repair of neurons. eNOS (endothelial) facilitates vasodilation in the lining of blood vessels to improve blood flow. eNOS is the main isoform that most are familiar with that increases blood flow and lowers blood pressure. It is also the main isoform that facilitates massive pumps in the gym. While NO is great for the gym and vascular health, it can be inflammatory in excess. NO production by eNOS has shown to play a protective role in cerebral ischemia by maintaining vascular permeability, whereas NO derived from nNOS and iNOS is neurotoxic and can enhance the neuronal damage occurring in ischemia [R]. This is where the selective activity of Agmatine shines, as data suggests that Agmatine's mechanism of action is facilitated by inhibiting iNOS and nNOS and increasing eNOS [R, R]. Agmatine has shown to selectively increase eNOS levels while simultaneously decreasing iNOS and MMP-9 protein expression [R, R]. Anecdotally, Agmatine does not seem to inhibit any of the positive effects of L-Citrulline or other vasodilators. On the contrary, it seems to complement other "pump" compounds very effectively. On paper, Agmatine sounds like the perfect ancillary compound to add to a pre-workout as it increases expression of the NOS isoform we want, while simultaneously inhibiting the isoforms that can be more inflammatory in excess. Nitrosigine® (inositol-stabilized arginine silicate) – 1500 mg Nitrosigine got some hype behind it when independent researchers from the University of Arkansas presented data suggesting that 1500 mg of Nitrosigine was almost as effective as 8000 mg of Citrulline Malate 2:1 (5333.33 mg L-Citrulline and 2666.66 mg Malic Acid) at increasing flow mediated dilation (FMD) [R]. FMD refers to dilation of an artery when blood flow increases in that artery. Because the primary cause of FMD is release of nitric oxide by endothelial cells, we can use FMD as a proxy for NO levels. To circumvent the lackluster efficacy of plain oral Arginine, Nutrition 21 (the developers of Nitrosigine) created a complex of bonded arginine and silicon. The inositol acts as a stabilizer and increases the bioavailability of the complex, consequently resulting in a potent NO boosting compound. Remember that the main issue with Arginine is poor bioavailability. The inositol stabilizer helps circumvent that issue [R]. Unlike plain Arginine, Inositol-stabilized Arginine silicate (Nitrosigine) has shown to kick in within 15 minutes and elevate blood Arginine levels for up to six hours after ingestion [R, R]. Nitrosigine has some impressive data reinforcing its efficacy, and it is purported to be much more effective milligram for milligram than other common vasodilators at increasing NO levels. On top of the increase in vasodilation and pumps, the developers claim that after a single dose Nitrosigine can increase mental acuity and focus by 33% within 15 minutes, with a compounding effect over time. In addition, they claim that Nitrosigine supports enhanced recovery by reducing markers of muscle damage [R]. Nitrosigine Vs. L-Citrulline Vs. Agmatine Sulfate In Vitro An in vitro study was designed by Nutrition 21 to compare the cellular production of NO of several sports nutrition ingredients. These ingredients included Nitrosigine, L-Arginine, L-Arginine AKG, L-Citrulline, Citrulline Malate and Agmatine Sulfate. Nitrosigine was dosed at a concentration of 1.0 g/L. Cell culture concentrations of the other compounds were dosed relative to a 1500 mg dose of Nitrosigine using the following doses: L-Arginine - 1500 mg L-Arginine AKG - 4000 mg L-Citrulline - 3000 mg L-Citrulline Malate - 3000 mg Agmatine Sulfate - 1000 mg As NO is unstable and rapidly converts to nitrites or nitrates, nitrite levels were measured as a proxy for NO production. At the doses used in this study, Nitrosigine significantly increased NO production over each of the five other compounds tested. There was a greater than 5X increase in NO production with Nitrosigine compared to the other tested vasodilators. In addition, of the compounds tested, only Nitrosigine significantly increased NO production versus control. While this looks very impressive for Nitrosigine, you have to consider that this is an in vitro study conducted by Nutrition 21 themselves. The results basically indicate that every single clinically proven vasodilator that we know works is useless as it couldn't increase NO production above control, meanwhile Nitrosigine somehow cranked it through the roof over 5x higher than the rest. While the results are certainly interesting, I would take this data with a grain of salt. Nitrosigine Vs. Citrulline Malate - Vasodilation Study On Young Adults Unlike the in vitro study comparing Nitrosigine to Citrulline Malate, another study in 2019 was apparently conducted independently from the company without their knowledge whatsoever [R]. This study was conducted on young, healthy, physically active adults, and provides more acceptable parameters for us to take seriously when it comes to evaluating Nitrosigine's efficacy in humans relative to a decent dose of the most widely used vasodilator in the industry, Citrulline Malate (assuming that the study was actually unbiased as is implied) [R]. 16 healthy young men and 8 healthy young women participated in the study. Each subject either received 1500 mg of Nitrosigine, 8000 mg of Citrulline Malate 2:1, or dextrose placebo. Keep in mind, this is Citrulline Malate 2:1, so the subjects are only actually getting 5333.33 mg of L-Citrulline. The study was randomized, double-blind, within-subjects design where participants reported for three trials, each preceded by a 7-day washout period. Baseline flow mediated dilation (FMD) measurement was obtained for each visit, followed by consumption of one clinical dose Citrulline Malate (8 grams), Nitrosigine (1.5 grams), or dextrose placebo (8 g). Following a 60-min digestion period, FMD was repeated. Supplementation order was randomized controlling for potential order effects. Basically, the subjects would show up, get their FMD evaluated, take one of the three options, and then get their FMD checked again to see how well the random compound they ingested increased their NO production. They would then take a week off, and come back and repeat, where they would then receive one of the remaining two compounds, with the same measurement process. This would be followed by another week off, and then a third visit where the subjects would receive whatever the third ingredient was that they hadn't yet tried, and the same measurement process was conducted. Nobody knew what they were ingesting during each trip, but by the end of the experiment every single subject had tried each ingredient, and their vasodilation response was evaluated for comparisons. Expectedly, Citrulline Malate and Nitrosigine yielded a greater improvement in FMD response than placebo. Citrulline Malate increased FMD by 34%. Nitrosigine increased FMD by 31%. Placebo decreased FMD by 2%. Allometric scaling of the FMD values was required afterwards to adjust the results to account for the body size of males relative to females. After allometric scaling of the FMD values, Citrulline Malate was shown to increase FMD by 25%, Nitrosigine increased FMD by 23%, and placebo increased FMD by 0.6%. Clearly Citrulline Malate isn't as useless as the Nutrition 21 funded in vitro data would lead you to believe. The results from this study suggest that the clinically efficacious 1500 mg dose of Nitrosigine is almost equally effective to 5333.33 mg of L-Citrulline mixed with 2666.66 mg of Malic Acid. Clearly Nitrosigine has a lot of promise as a pre-workout ingredient, which is why I included it in our formula alongside the massive dosages of other potent vasodilators we already have. Every single effective vasodilator we felt was worthwhile is in here at topped out dosages. While it would be nice if there was data we could refer to evaluating if there is a synergy between Nitrosigine and Citrulline, or Nitrosigine and Agmatine, regardless if the end result is 1+1 = 2 or if it's 1+1 = 3, my goal was to make sure this formula was air tight and ensure you are getting the maximum possible performance enhancing benefit from each and every ingredient. Sodium Nitrate – 1500 mg Sodium is one of the most critical and overlooked components of a diet designed to optimize exercise performance. But, keep in mind, you’re not going to get enough sodium in a pre-workout without it tasting terrible. Other companies will put a tiny dose of sodium in their product and then claim you will get all of the benefits of it. Personally, I just toss and wash a quarter teaspoon of a high quality salt 30 minutes pre-workout with Gorilla Mode or Gorilla Mode Nitric, and I take another quarter teaspoon with my post-workout drink. The reason I included sodium nitrate in Gorilla Mode Nitric is not for the sodium, it is for the nitrates. The nitrate–nitrite–nitric oxide (NO) pathway is a series of oxygen-independent and NO synthase–independent single-electron transfer reactions that ultimately facilitate vasodilation. The traditional Arginine–eNOS–nitric oxide (NO) pathway is what most NO precursors focus on. The nitrate–nitrite–nitric oxide (NO) pathway often goes completely neglected though, and is another pathway we can leverage to amplify NO levels to an even greater level. Nitrates found in food can be converted into nitrites in the body, and then reduced to NO via nitrite reductase [R]. Several studies have shown that nitrate supplementation can increase plasma nitrite concentrations, and consequently Nitric Oxide, which then enhances pumps, endurance, and all of the other benefits we use NO precursors for [R]. Nitrate Dosage - Sodium Nitrate Vs. Beet Root Powder Pre-Workouts Beet root is a very popular ingredient that has started to get a lot of attention over the past few years. The reason why beet root works is because it is a densely concentrated source of nitrates. However, despite it being densely concentrated relative to other foods, beet root still only contains 1-2 percent of nitrates per gram of raw material. This would require you to ingest an absurdly high amount of beet root to get the same amount of nitrates that you can get from the 1500 mg of sodium nitrate in Gorilla Mode Nitric. To put it in perspective, your standard beet root powder pre-workout supplement has around 4.3 grams of Beet root juice powder in it. The amount of nitrates in that 4.3 grams is about 43 mg. That means that you would need to chug the entire tub at one time to get the same amount of nitrate as you would get out of a 1500 mg dose of sodium nitrate. There is no feasible way to get a high dose of nitrates from beet root powder without ingesting massive quantities far higher than what you would get in a dietary supplement. By weight, sodium nitrate is the most highly concentrated source of nitrates among any dietary ingredient. Nitrates comprise 73 percent of the total weight of sodium nitrate [R]. The optimal dosage of nitrate supplementation appears to be between 6.4-12.8 mg/kg [R]. That equates to the following dosage protocols: 440-870 mg for a 150 lb person 580-1,160 mg for a 200 lb person 730-1,450 mg for a 250 lb person For every gram of sodium nitrate, 730 mg is from nitrate. The 1.5 grams of sodium nitrate in Gorilla Mode Nitric yields 1095 mg of nitrate. There are other nitrate based supplements in the industry like Arginine Nitrate, Creatine Nitrate, Betaine Nitrate that operate via this same nitrate–nitrite–nitric oxide (NO) pathway, however, none of them have as high of a nitrate composition gram for gram as Sodium Nitrate does. VasoDrive-AP® (isoleucyl-prolyl-proline (IPP) and valyl-prolyl-proline (VPP) isolated from hydrolyzed milk casein) – 254 mg VasoDrive-AP consists of 2 lactotripeptides: isoleucyl-prolyl-proline (IPP) and valyl-prolyl-proline (VPP) which are clinically proven to inhibit Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and significantly increases vasodilation.  Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) controls blood pressure by regulating the volume of fluids in the body. ACE facilitates this process by converting the hormone angiotensin I to the active vasoconstrictor angiotensin II. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) inhibit ACE, consequently reducing angiotensin II production. Reducing angiotensin II results in the dilation of blood vessels and a reduction of blood pressure. Bradykinin is also a vasodilator in the body that is degraded by ACE. Clinical data suggests that individuals who genetically have lower levels of ACE respond better to training and are at an advantage in endurance sporting events [R, R]. The more blood flow you have, presumably the more oxygen and nutrient carrying capacity you will have during exercise. VasoDrive-AP has shown in 30 clinical studies to date a potent effect on vasodilation and blood pressure reduction via this mechanism completely independent from the traditional Arginine–eNOS–nitric oxide (NO) pathway [R].  Ingredients I Didn’t Include In The Formula And Why Vitamin C Vitamin C is a very potent antioxidant and plays a crucial role in lowering blood pressure and regulating health blood flow. Supplementing a Vitamin C deficient diet can be very beneficial, except when you're dosing it pre-workout. Vitamin C is inexpensive and has tons of clinical data to back its efficacy, so it is often thrown in pre-workouts. The problem with this is that using Vitamin C pre-workout can blunt the hormetic response to the workout itself and hinder your results [R]. The point of working out is to damage the muscle, which then results in the body signaling repair processes to start that will help you recover and ultimately get bigger and stronger to adapt to the workload. If you manually decrease that hormetic response to exercise by ingesting Vitamin C pre-workout, you will reduce the damage done and ultimately prevent your body from stimulating as much growth. Personally, I don't take any vitamins, anti inflammatories, or powerful antioxidants for several hours before or after my workout to be safe. Antioxidants And Vitamins As mentioned, one of the worst things you can do is take antioxidants before your workout. The stress and damage induced by weightlifting or exercise is needed to facilitate muscular recovery and progress. The reactive oxygen species and inflammation produced during intense training assists with that process, and is also why drugs like Ibuprofen can inhibit muscle growth so severely. The inflammatory response to training is what we want in order to recover, and by inhibiting that with antioxidants, vitamins or anti-inflammatory drugs, you prevent your body from breaking down and recovering the way it needs to in order to grow [R, R]. A pre-workout formula with a bunch of vitamins and antioxidants in it is more likely to hinder your gains than help. Potassium I advise reaching your recommended daily intake of 4,700 mg through diet rather than through supplementation. It is not legal to sell Potassium in high amounts, and you will usually find that supplements have no more than 100 mg or so per serving because of this. For this same reason, supplementation isn't cost effective, and pre-workouts with potassium in them are including it solely to claim the benefits of potassium all the while knowing the dose in their product is next to useless. The amount of potassium in pre-workout supplements does next to nothing for you when it comes to helping you hit the RDA. S7™ S7™ is a blend of green coffee bean extract, green tea extract, turmeric extract, tart cherry, blueberry, broccoli and kale that has gotten some hype in pre-workouts recently. I was considering including it in our formula until I saw that the blend was comprised entirely of potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. Turmeric is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory spices known to man, which is why it also shows such therapeutic promise via supplementation. However, the last thing you want to use pre-workout is a potent anti-inflammatory compound. Inflammation is what we are striving for during a workout, and using anything that significantly impairs this inflammatory response to training is something that should not be used pre-workout, and should be saved for taking far away from the peri-workout window. Beta Alanine Beta Alanine is the ingredient that makes your skin itchy and has you sitting there scratching your face between sets. I assume it is included in pre-workouts because you can blatantly feel something when you take it, so people associate feeling something with the product being potent. Personally, I can’t stand the itchy skin effect it has, and it can be bad enough that it ruins a pre-workout just based on that. In addition, it doesn’t have more than a negligible effect on performance at best. Acute sporadic bumps in Beta Alanine will do next to nothing if you are only getting your Beta Alanine dosage from your pre workout supplement a few times per week. If you were to take it correctly, dosing it multiple times per day, for weeks on end, at a high enough dosage, the impact on performance is notable, although still fairly insignificant at the end of the day. “The median effect of β-alanine supplementation is a 2.85% (-0.37 to 10.49%) improvement in the outcome of an exercise measure, when a median total of 179 g of β-alanine is supplemented” [R]. 179 grams (an amount nobody would end up getting in) for a 2.85% improvement in performance, and a ton of itchiness… “Although some laboratory-based studies show an ergogenic effect with beta-alanine supplementation, there is a lack of field-based research in training and competition settings.” “There was an unclear effect (0.4%; ± 0.8%, mean, ± 90% confidence limits) of beta-alanine on competition performance compared to placebo with no meaningful changes in blood chemistry. While there was a transient improvement on training performance after 4 weeks with beta-alanine (-1.3%; ± 1.0%), there was an unclear effect at ten weeks (-0.2%; ± 1.5%) and no meaningful changes in blood chemistry. Beta-alanine supplementation appears to have minimal effect on swimming performance in non-laboratory controlled real-world training and competition settings” [R]. Leucine Taking Leucine post-workout promotes muscle growth. However, taking Leucine in your pre-workout has shown to diminish muscular performance via the inhibition of glycogen to glucose conversion within muscle cells and insulin signaling. On top of that, Leucine can prevent the uptake of Tyrosine into the brain, consequently inhibiting dopamine production, which is the opposite of what we are trying to accomplish pre-workout. Should You Ever Cycle Off Of Gorilla Mode Nitric? Despite Nitric being stimulant free, I would still advise cycling your use of Gorilla Mode Nitric every once in a while. In general, I advise cycling your use of any supplement that isn't being used daily to replace a dietary deficiency. Interfering with balancing mechanisms in the body chronically long-term is almost always going to build up to some unintended negative side effect, and redlining your Nitric Oxide levels and vasodilation on a daily basis for long uninterrupted spans of time will probably be no different. How often you cycle it is ultimately up to your discretion as there is no tolerance build up with the ingredients in Nitric, and some of them actually have accumulative benefits. Personally, I use pre-workouts 4 days per week because I workout 4 times per week. Every month or two I will also take a full week off of everything except for my daily health supplements. How To Combine Gorilla Mode Nitric With Gorilla Mind Rush Gorilla Mode Nitric has no stimulants in it, so if you want the most potent combination of performance, energy, focus and drive pre-workout you can combine Nitric with Gorilla Mind Rush. Dose each product as you would normally dose them on their own, as there is no overlap between the two formulas. How To Combine Gorilla Mode Nitric With Gorilla Mode Gorilla Mode can be combined with Gorilla Mode Nitric to achieve a more middle road level of stimulants but with the maxed out vasodilation and hyper-hydration. The instance in which mixing the two would make the most sense is if you don't want to use a high dose of Gorilla Mode because the stimulant dosages are higher than you prefer or can tolerate, but still want to max out the benefits of the ingredients included for pump and performance. For example, if 2 scoops of Gorilla Mode contains too high of a dose of stimulants for you, you could use 1 scoop of Gorilla Mode with 1 scoop of Gorilla Mode Nitric. Or, a 1/2 scoop of Gorilla Mode with 1.5 scoops of Gorilla Mode Nitric. Alternatively, if you are using Nitric and want a little bump of stimulants but are too sensitive to the stimulant complex in Gorilla Mind Rush, then you might want to add a bit of Gorilla Mode to your Nitric dose as the blend of stimulants in Mode is a notch less aggressive than the stimulants in Rush. Mix and match at your own discretion based on your own stimulant tolerance and exactly what you are looking to get out of your pre-workout. Personally, I love combining Rush and Nitric pre-workout. Sometimes I will use Mode with Nitric instead though as the Kanna and N-Phenethyl Dimethylamine Citrate hits differently than the stimulants in Rush. It all depends on what I'm training, how well rested I am, and the effects I am shooting for. Conclusion - What To Expect From Gorilla Mode Nitric In general, you can expect a massive increase in nitric oxide (NO) levels, vasodilation, intracellular hydration and as significant of a boost in muscle strength and endurance as you can get from a legal non-hormonal pre-workout. This product is maxed out from all angles. The traditional Arginine–eNOS–nitric oxide (NO) pathway is completely saturated with an unheard of dose of L-Citrulline, as well as topped out doses of Nitrosigine and Agmatine Sulfate for good measure. Over a gram of nitrates also ensures that the nitrate–nitrite–nitric oxide (NO) pathway is taken care of. Intracellular hyper-hydration is best-in-class too with a huge dose of Creatine Monohydrate, Glycerpump and Betaine Anhydrous to volumize the muscle and support performance and pumps. Inhibiting the enzyme angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) with a clinical dose of VasoDrive-AP® also checks off another pathway to push the boundaries on supraphysiological levels of vasodilation.  Finally, a high dose of Malic Acid was included for good measure to act as a Krebs cycle intermediary and support greater levels of muscular endurance. Try Gorilla Mode Nitric for yourself here and let me know what you think.

Tonight we shed the Community Spotlight on new Kings of War player from Memphis, Andrew Malic.

In this episode, Elaina and Kate talk about why it's crucial to do a liver flush. Can you imagine never changing the oil in your car? How about never cleaning your toilets? Things would start to build up. We discuss how the liver functions, and what happens when your liver is clogged. I also discuss in detail how to do your own flush and all the tools and practices that will help your body and organs be as healthy as possible. Here is a link on how to do the cleanse and our guided course: https://online.purejoyplanet.com/p/guided-liver-flush   Is Your Liver Toxic? Toxins are everywhere! Our food, our air, our water, our environment, our thoughts, and our own body's waste create a constant barrage. Let's face it…there is no getting away from the toxins that we all encounter on a daily basis unless maybe you are a monk on a hilltop breathing pristine air. Here are some symptoms of an overloaded liver:   constipation/bloating/digestive problems bad breath skin problems: When the liver is overwhelmed with toxins, the skin (detox organ) takes over by eliminating toxins through its surface in the form of: Eczema, acne, blemishes, skin cancer and rashes weight gain weight loss (inability to absorb nutrients or keep weight on) irritability/anger/rage brain fog/ poor concentration/ poor memory depression/mood disorders/bi-polar estrogen dominance/hormone problems/PMS slow metabolism allergies/ sensitive to everything (chemicals/pollens/foods) hypoglycemia excess gas coated tongue poor protein absorption gallbladder problems/gallstones chronic fatigue high cholesterol and blood pressure frequent colds/ excess mucus/ low immune system fatty liver poor or worsening eye sight itching   Elaina and Kate discuss: When your body is fed a clean diet and the blood, intestines, liver and gallbladder and other organs are encouraged to detoxify 4 times a year or more, you can and will respond with more energy, a longer life, a disease-free life, happier thoughts and loving emotions. We share with you some of the knowledge and information we have gained through doing our own cleanses over the years as well as accumulated knowledge from others. What you use in your house and  put on your skin can affect your health, too. Intention of a liver flush To easily and lovingly clear gravel, stones and sand from the gallbladder and liver and adjoining ducts and vessels, improving overall health and well-being. To compassionately release emotional debris that inhibits personal transformation and our birth right of pure joy. To balance body-mind-spirit, freeing you to live a life in complete confidence and power. To support yourself by nurturing, resting, using tools and seeking emotional, physical and spiritual help as needed.   This is a powerful detoxifying process, which releases liver and gallstones and other debris from the gallbladder and liver, helping restore proper functioning of these organs. Those who have been eating rancid fats, packaged goods, and animal products for years may choose to do a number of flushes to flush out the hardened layers of undigested cholesterol, minerals, and salts that form gallstones and intrahepatic stones. For those who are new to eating high plant based diet, longer preparation (7 -14 days) should be followed to ensure a successful liver flush. The stones and debris need time to soften and dislodge. Think of a dry piece of clay. One would have to pour water over it for some time to begin to break if up. .   Make it fun and easy You can have a great time creating more energy in your body and enjoying very satisfying, delicious food during a cleanse or flush. When you know you are doing something amazing for yourself, it becomes more enjoyable and food will taste better. Keep in mind that during this program your body will experience a cleansing process and de-bulking (weight loss) will occur. It will be fun to look in the mirror and see your face lines diminishing, your skin and eyes getting clearer and your waistline shrinking. Drink plenty of fluids such as the recipes in the back of this book to stay hydrated and content. If you make and eat the recipes provided you will not feel deprived!   Any level of the Purification and Cleanse program is a good cleanse. Better out than in! It is recommended by Dr. David Jubb that the organs above the diaphragm are to be cleansed first. This is called upstream cleansing. This can be accomplished by performing 3 to 12 liver-gallbladder flushes in a row (1 per month). Once the stones are flushed out, you may choose to do a 30-day intestinal cleanse followed by a parasite flush (see table of contents for alternate cleanses). You may also follow your liver flush with a parasite cleanse. Some experts say that doing a parasite cleanse at the same time as your Liver-Gallbladder flush can be very beneficial. I highly recommend doing a 1- month kidney flush (see kidney flush in table of contents) after performing 3 Liver-Gallbladder flushes, at least 2 times a year.   Why Is The Liver So Important? The liver preforms over 500+ functions Carbohydrate metabolism: converts carbs to glucose to be used as energy throughout the body and brain. Creates (synthesizes) amino acids to build proteins Secretes bile and bile salts needed for fat digestion Metabolizes toxins so they can be excreted by the body- DETOX mechanism. Contains special blood cells (Kupffer's Cells) to neutralize bad bacteria and antigens. Keeps blood glucose in balance. Liver cells break down fatty acids which then generates ATP Synthesizes cholesterol and triglycerides within cells Converts ammonia (left over from too many amino acids) into urea, which can then excreted by the urine. (Ammonia is much more toxic then urea) Ability to change and process hormones (thyroid converts T4 into active T3, estrogen, and aldosterone) Detoxes drugs, medications, pesticides, dangerous vaccine components, and environmental toxins Stores and releases (when needed) glycogen, vitamin A, D, E, K (fat soluble), vitamin b-12, copper and iron. Along with the skin and kidneys, the liver forms active vitamin D for the body to use Detoxes and filters everything that comes into the intestines and blood (the only organ that can do this)   After the liver “deals” with the toxins where do they go?   The liver is able to metabolize or change many toxins so they can be eliminated from the body. Some toxins are shunted into the bloodstream and then removed by the kidneys. Some move to the bile, which is a secretion of the liver. Bile flows to the gallbladder for storage and more transformation. Then the bile flows into the small intestine and the toxins are eliminated in the feces. That is, if everything is functioning optimally.   Basics of Purification & Cleansing By choosing to cleanse you are entering into a new phase of your life. You are among a very small percentage of the population who has chosen to take your health and well-being into your own hands and to make purification a way of life.   Your benefits will be beyond measure and may include: Prolonged Life Weight loss Mental clarity Confidence Stronger intuition More love in your life and your heart Compassion for yourself and others More energy Sound sleep Leaner body Better Sex Improvement and/or Healing of numerous conditions including but not limited to arthritis, anxiety, Crohn's disease, eczema, candida, diabetes, chronic fatigue and parasites. Pure Joy!   How Does The Body Become Toxic? Processed (packaged) foods Eating Out Fried Foods Meats and dairy products Overeating! (Even nutritious foods become toxic when overeaten) Shallow Breathing: oxygen creates energy, carbon dioxide is acidic Stress from daily living Lack of Exercise- We need to sweat, move the lymph and oxygenate our cells Dehydration-Eating processed foods and not drinking enough pure water Exposure to chemical, bacterial or physical entities Arguing or fighting (toxic relationships) What to Consume On This Liver Flush Choose from Option 1, 2 or 3 in the back of the manual and create your menu plan from there. If you are able to take some time off work, I recommend Option 1. If you have a busy life, you will want to choose a combination of Option 1 and 2 or even some solid food from Option 3. You cannot get it wrong! Whichever you choose will be perfect for you right now. You can always do another flush next month and pick another option. Don't rush it!   Food and juices to consume on your detox   Enjoy in Abundance: Herbal tea Warm water with lemon Hot veggie broths Raw, unpasteurized green juice (see recipes)   Moderate Amounts of (for a moderate cleanse): Beet and Carrot Juice (use as a condiment by adding ¼ cup into your green juice) Low glycemic smoothies Blended soups Light salads Raw or lightly steamed green, non-starchy vegetables with tasty dressings (see recipes) Low glycemic fruits (berries) Some fat (avocado, coconut and coconut oil) 1 TBS ground sunflower/pumpkin/flax or chia seeds as needed   Why raw, plant-based foods? High in Vitamins and Minerals Enzymes Life Force Alkalizing Highest Vibration of all foods The fiber in raw foods will help naturally cleanse the colon A raw, vegan diet has been shown to reverse many diseases and promote longevity Liquids and Juices provide nourishment and give the digestive tract a rest Green Juices are highly mineralized and are natural diuretics (especially cucumbers and lemons), which flush the kidneys   Foods to avoid on this cleanse Sugar Processed foods Vegetable oils (olive, coconut and sesame oil is okay in moderation) Animal foods (meat, dairy, eggs) Fried foods All vinegar, except apple cider vinegar Store bought condiments Caffeine Processed starches (rice, flour, breads) Baked goods All grains Beans (to hard to digest on a cleanse)   How The Supplements Work Malic Acid (in the form of malic acid powder, apple cider vinegar or apple juice) dissolves and softens gallstones.   Enzymes help dissolve the undigested fats and “blood sludge” in the body.   Magnesium Oxide (Oxy-OxC) helps to oxygenate old debris in the bowels and to keep the bowels flushing, which enables toxins to leave the body quickly. This can create a potentially major release of excess debris, which may have been impacted in the intestines for years.   Epsom Salt (taken only the day of and the day after the flush) relaxes the sphincter of the gallbladder and bile ducts, allowing for the easy passage of the softened, shrunken stones without dehydrating the body as regular salt flushes can.   Olive Oil causes a strong contraction of the gallbladder and liver, forcing out stored wastes, bile, and stones. These wastes and stones are then excreted through the colon as excrement.   PART 2---- SECOND PODCAST REGARDING DETOX Tools And Life Practices The following are items in your Liver/Gallbladder Flush Toolbox, all of which are important practice elements for the week, and some of which we can consider Life Practices that you can count on as permanent acquisitions for your whole life!   Castor Packs with Castor Oil and Cotton Flannel You have one 8 oz. bottle of castor oil and a cotton flannel in your kit. You can use either an ace bandage or a roll of plastic wrap to secure the flannel in place. A heating pad or hot water bottle will be very handy to have. Pour oil onto the flannel on one side until it is saturated with castor oil - about 5 tablespoons or 1/4 cup (once you have used the flannel once, you will only need 2-3 tablespoons each time after that).   You can use the flannel over and over again for years, just wash it once every 3 months or so. Be sure you store it at room temp and not it in the refrigerator as the extra moisture will cause mold.   Warm it in the oven for a few minutes, if desired, or heat the oil in a mini crockpot. Lay the flannel over the midsection of your body especially over the liver, which is on your right side in the lower ribcage area. Wrap the plastic or ace bandage wrap around your waist making sure all the flannel is covered to prevent leaking and to hold the wrap in place. Put the hot water bottle or heating pad on top of the wrap and then wrap a towel around your midsection and lay down with your feet up, or on your right side. This will loosen and soften gallstones and open the lymph system and gall ducts. Be prepared to lie there for 20-30 minutes. Massage your liver and gallbladder in a circular motion. You can leave the pack on for 1 1/2 hours or longer if desired.   Enzymes Food enzymes occur naturally in raw foods and juices. These are not supplements. These enzymes digest food to make nutrients more available in the body so it has the raw materials it needs to run optimally. Digestive enzymes are what are provided for you to take during your cleanse. The ones we take are vegan and are made from healthy bacteria. These enzymes specifically break down nutrition for the organism (human, animal or fungi) to use for nourishment. They improve digestion, and put more energy into your body. Having more energy in the body improves metabolism, lessens fatigue, and helps you function better overall. It also helps to clean out your “blood sludge” which consists of undigested proteins. Metabolic enzymes - These enzymes are exponentially more expensive than digestive enzymes. They are very powerful. They help build various tissues, transfer compounds from one molecule to another, reduce inflammation and reduce or dissolve scar tissue and unclog arteries. Taking metabolic enzyme supplements keeps the sludge and pathogen levels down. Taking any kind of enzyme supplements to help digest your food and keep the body cleaned out means that your own metabolism doesn't have to do this. Your immune system and metabolism can focus on better on other areas of running the body when they aren't bogged down with food digestion. That is why fasting is so important. The body needs all the energy and raw materials it can muster to fight off pathogens and clean the body, so during a fast or sickness, the person temporarily loses their appetite and lays low.   Oxy-OxC or Oxy Magnesium Magnesium Oxide with Vitamin C (Oxy OxC) is an excellent oxygen and magnesium supplement, which keeps the toxins moving out through the bowels during the liver and gallbladder flush. Stir ½-1 teaspoon Oxy--OxC or 3-5 pills into 6-8 oz. water or juice or with your apple cider vinegar or malic acid drink, up to 3 times per day between juices or meals. You should be having 3 bowel movements a day. If you start to have liquid stools, back off or eliminate the Oxy OxC for a day or so. If you are using this in pill form, take between 2 and 4 pills 3x/day and ease up as needed.   Malic acid or Apple Cider Vinegar or Apple Juice If you are taking apple cider vinegar (ACV), stir 3-4 tablespoons. into 1 glass of water and drink this amount 3-4x/day each day. You may also drink 32 oz. of apple juice a day either straight or mixed with water or green juice. If you cannot stomach the ACV and are sensitive to sugars in juice, take 1/2 to 1 tsp. malic acid in 32 oz. of water or tea a day. The more malic acid you take, the more trips to the toilet you will make.   High Quality Olive Oil Use ¾ - 1 cup of an extra virgin organic olive oil for the night of the flush only. Some find that this is delicious and very pleasant to drink when gently mixed in your blender with citrus juice, and drank from a glass through a straw.   Epsom Salts The sulfates in Epsom salts stimulate the release of digestive enzymes from the pancreas. These enzymes help to detoxify the body of drug residues and toxins.   Epsom Drink Recipe (enough for 4 doses) 4  Tbsp.Epsom salts 3cupsWater (1 Tbsp. of Epsom salts to 3/4 cups of water x 4)   *Optional: several drops of stevia and the juice of ½ lemon You can use less Epsom salts if it is too strong for you or you feel it is acting too quickly. You can use more Epsom salts if it is not working well (you will know this by the morning). This will be taken in 4 doses before and after drinking the citrus-oil concoction.   At 6 pm and 8 pm on day 4 and 2 more at 6 am and 8am on day 5 (the morning after drinking the olive oil). The Epsom salts will create a soap-like action in the digestive tract as well as opening the bile ducts to make them wider for the stones to pass through. Stay near the bathroom until your bowels move, which can be anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours.   Hot Baths and Light Exercise Take hot baths at least every other day (be sure not to make it too hot or that you have help getting out of the bath if you are prone to light headedness). An Epsom salts bath, with 1 cup of the salts and few drops of essential oil, can bring much relief and promote detoxification through the skin. Stay in the bath 20 minutes. Be sure to rinse the salty water off your body when you are finished. If you have access to steam room or sauna, that will help eliminate toxins also. Keep exercise light, such as walking and yoga.   Sweating Either a sauna or a hot bath are ideal, to help eliminate even more toxins and help eliminate toxic overload. You have 2 different sweat glands: eccrine sweat glands, which are distributed over your entire body, and apocrine sweat glands, located on your scalp, armpits and genital area.   Dry Skin Brushing When cleansing, it is imperative to allow your body to fully detoxify through your skin. The skin is our largest eliminative organ, so use it! Dry skin brushing is an excellent way to not only eliminate excess skin which is blocking proper elimination, but it will help to actually balance hormones and meridian points in the body while stimulating the immune system. This only takes 5 minutes a day. (See skin brushes instructions)   Morning Water Life Practice This is an excellent life practice advocated by David Rainoshek in his Juice Feasting program. David reports that students of Juice Feasting have returned to him year after year remarking on what an important life practice this continues to be, physiologically, mentally, and emotionally.   We are 60-80 percent water (depending on age and lifestyle), and we rely on water for oxygenation, proper blood chemistry, digestion, brain function, reducing inflammation, elimination, etc. When we wake up in the morning, our body has lost 1 to 1.5 quarts of water during the night from perspiration, breathing, and urine production. Drinking a hydrating quart of water with lemon in the first few minutes of the morning helps to wake up our brain, flush our urinary system and bowel, stimulates our digestive system, oxygenates our blood, and generally gets all systems online. Many of us are chronically dehydrated, and this morning water life practice can make a huge difference in the experience and expression of your life!   Morning Lemon Water Recipe 2-4 cups filtered water 1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon or lime juice   FOR FUTURE FLUSHES One month from this flush, you may choose to begin with another. The best time to do a liver- gallbladder flush is after the full moon and before the new moon (a two-week window). Continued flushing will produce darker and older stones that are hanging out in back of the liver and gallbladder. Continue to do flushes until you can do two consecutive flushed with no stones being released.   As with any cleanse, take it easy   Continue to drink water and lemon daily (64 oz. or more) Regular green juices (3x a week or more) Blended foods often (as a meal replacement 1-3x per week) Soaking in Epsom salts when you feel tired or achy Enemas as needed (when feeling toxic or having a cleansing reaction) Continue taking enzymes with meals   Disclaimer “Let food be thy medicine, thy medicine shall be thy food.” ~Hippocrates   Your health is your responsibility, and your body has the power to heal itself.

Acidity is one of the key components of wine, along with tannin, alcohol and sugar/dryness. This is a completely dorky look at acidity -- what it does, why it's important, and then dive into different types of acid and why it matters. Here are the show notes:  The Basics: It’s one of the four elements of a wine’s structure: acidity with tannin, alcohol, sugar/dryness It makes wine tart or sour  All wines are acidic (whites and reds, dry and sweet), but the degree varies from a real and perception perspective Acidity is in both grapes and in wine and it changes with winemaking Euphemisms: bright, crisp, racy, nervy   What acidity does  Influences wine color  Balances sweetness, tannin/bitter sensation, aromas, mouthfeel Low acid wines – no body, weak, flabby, brown in color Protects the wine from spoilage, helps it age – stabilizes because spoilage bacteria can’t grow in high acid environments Food and wine Great with acidic food – makes it smoother Contrasts/cuts the fat and lightens the dish up Sweet wine needs acidity Climate/place Cooler climates have grapes with higher acidity. Slow ripening will preserve acidity Warmer climates need to add acid BACK through a winemaking technique – acidification Acidity is a HUGE harvest consideration   Dork Out Section About Acid Types of Acid – in grapes: Tartaric (unique to grapes), Malic (fades fast), Citric (in small concentrations). In wine: Succinic, acetic (volatile acidity), lactic (milky acid) We discuss pH v Total Acidity and the relationship between them Malolactic fermentation: bacteria convert sugar and malic acid into lactic acid. Softer acidity than strong malic, wine is less acidic post MLF Acidity Measurement pH – Strength of the acid – 0 – 14, water is 7. Wines are usually from 2.9 -4.0. pH scale is logarithmic, meaning a wine with a pH of 3.0 is 10 times more acidic than a wine with a pH of 4.0. Total Acidity/Titratable Acid – total of ALL Acids present, important to look at both   Acid is important -- pay attention and you'll see just how much!   Thanks to our sponsors this week:   YOU!

A sensorial perception found in every style, acidity plays a fundamental and specific role in every type of wine. It is right the intensity and nature of this element to contribute to quality and balance of wine: from white to red, from sparkling to sweet, in each of them it strongly contributes to the agreeableness of taste.

We are all back this week – except for Stanley whose whereabouts are unknown. Byrdie is sitting in as host and apparently hosting gives him an NPR style voice that is very distracting for the rest of the group. For the first time this season Malic takes us to the indie gaming world with Independent Pixel. We talk about two games that allow players to unleash their inner game designer: Sketch Nation Studio from Engineous Games and Code Hero from Primer Labs. In News Conference we talk about an article from Kill Screen Magazine’s blog about what is means to complete video games. We discovered we have very different opinions about the necessity of actually finishing video games. We also bring up the controversial ending to Mass Effect 3 which makes us all sad. Finally for Personal Choice we talk about games where we would rather play as the antagonist than the protagonist. *Taylor had a cold during this episode and apologizes for her unpleasant coughing.
