You can take the girl out of California...: Trying New Things, A Saga

Hey, hi, hello, 

It has been literal months since I have written anything, but to be fair I have been pretty busy. I just finished my applications for Ph.D. programs, my jobs have been extra demanding, and I needed to cut something out temporarily, so this had to be it, unfortunately. I have some more time now though and tons of new things to write about. These topics include

my experiences applying to grad school during the first stage (!!!)

presenting at a psychology conference for the first time (!!)

starting PIIT 28 (Cassey Ho's pilates intense interval training program)

fall television (!)

being asked to be a bridesmaid at my best friend's wedding (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

and other non-important but totally fun to read about things

Anyway, for today's topic, Jess suggested (okay more like demanded persuasively) that I write about the fact that I have started to do and, mainly, eat and drink things that I swore I would absolutely hate. Honestly, I am probably the biggest hypocrite I know but whatever. So here are the things that I irritatingly swore I would hate but now love (it should be noted that these are all things Jess said I would like and I vehemently disagreed with initially). 

QUINOA - I didn't think I would like quinoa solely based on how it looked cooked. I'm still not fully on board with the texture of quinoa but I would gladly and readily substitute any grain for quinoa.  

ACAI SMOOTHIE BOWLS - These have become staple breakfast food for Parker and I. Get this, we eat them...in mason jars because that is literally how basic we are. I'm not sure why I was against them to begin with -- to be clear I mean smoothie bowls, not mason jars. I love smoothies, so I think I was just being annoying. I'll be posting some of our favorite acai bowls receipes later in the week so stay tuned for that!

SELTZER - Okay, I love seltzer and I have no excuse for why I judged it so hard. I was young and naive. I am so sorry, Jessica. 

EXERCISE - I've been going to the gym on and off for the past three years and then if you recall I got really into blogilates last February, but I kind of fell off the wagon. Recently, I've noticed that I am much more tired on days I don't work out, so I have realized how important it is to really stick to a workout or at least working out regularly. 

SWEETGREEN - Jess has been trying to get me to go to SweetGreen since the dawn of time. Alright, so maybe just last semester. The point is, I tried this in September with our new lab's new postdoc, Tashauna, and absolutely loved it. My go to is the Kale Caesar sans parmesan crisps with cilantro and goat cheese or the Guacamole Greens. Highly recommend. 

So what have these experiences taught me? To listen to Jess? No. But maybe to be more open to trying things that people I spend a lot of my time with recommend. I recommend things to you guys all the time, so would that just be super hypocritical of me not to also try other people's recommendations. Conversely, let's also not forget that I am, indeed, a giant hypocrite. 

With love, 

Alexis

EPA conducts more air quality tests at natural gas eruption site

Experts of the Environmental Protection Agency conducting air quality tests at the scene of natural gas emissions at Diamond, East Bank Demerara. Guyana's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Tuesday conducted another round of air quality tests near the site of bubbling natural gas emissions at Diamond, East Bank Demerara, even as residents complained about feeling unwell. Executive Director of the EPA, Dr. Vincent Adams assured residents at the scene that his entity and the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) would be working closely. "We need to understand what the problem is before we try to resolve it and maybe GGMC or somebody knows," he said. "I got here listened to the concerns and obviously I'm going to go back and communicate with the other agencies that are working thus for us to figure out," he added. A spokesman for the residents said they wanted to know why the GGMC was constructing huge steel tanks on site,  whether the gas and sludge would remain there and if they would have to remove. "All that we know is that they are building some big tanks here. In the night we get some very stink smell of the gas. The gas is going on about five months now and no one us telling us anything," said Richard Phagoo whose house, located a short distance away, was cracked by the violent eruptions in June and August, 2018. Phagoo and other residents complained bitterly about a lack of information from authorities about what the tanks would be used for, what the gas would be used for and how safe would the residents be. He said more than 20 letters have been sent to several ministries but none has responded so far.

EPA Senior Environmental Officer (Air Quality and Noise Management), Tashauna Redmond and EPA Executive Director, Dr. Vincent Adams. EPA Senior Environmental Officer (Air Quality and Noise Management), Tashauna Redmond and her colleagues used a Multi-Ray to test a number of air emissions such as carbon monoxide, nitric oxide and volatile organic carbons. Redmond said a number of previously conducted tests had shown emissions of nitrogen oxide and volatile organic carbons. "Though it was recorded, it wasn't recorded in alarming amounts. All emissions were below two Parts Per Million (PPM)," Redmond said. Asked what could be the impact of prolonged exposure to that level, she said resident's accounts suggest that was not the case. "They indicated that they tend to pick up the scent of rotten eggs sometimes during the morning periods so it's not prolonged continuous exposure," he said. Redmond said residents were told to visit a doctor to ascertain what might be causing them to feel unwell because the gases might not be the only reason for such symptoms. The EPA officials planned to conduct ongoing monitoring because the levels could fluctuate. They spoke with residents while more than one dozen spots were bubbling gas through a puddle of water. Region Four Chairperson, Geneveive Allen has said that a multi-stakeholder group would be established to meet with residents.

Gail Williams -Fraser pointing to one of several cracks to her house as a result of undermined foundation due to a natural gas explosion next door. Immediately next door to where the gas erupted when a man was drilling a water well, a remigrant Gail Williams- Fraser said her retirement home that she built in 2015 has been badly damaged. Many of her doors have been locked off, walls cracked and floors sunk due to the fact that the foundation has been undermined. The 62-year old woman, who has been in Guyana since June in search of answers and solutions to her plight, says she now risks losing her job in the United Kingdom because she has away for the past four months. "I came here because of this problem. I had to go back to work on the 7th of  September but I'm still here. Nobody came to speak to me on to now so I think at the end of the day I might lose my job. It's not Guyana," she said, adding that she has already spent a lot of funds on airfare and telephone charges.

EPA Director, Vincent Adams and team at the scene of the natural gas emissions. "I'm stuck here for now until this ends and and I don't know when it's going to end," she said. Williams- Fraser said an engineer charged her GYD$400,000 to visit the yard and building that are now sloping gently towards the east. She has already ordered a tenant to remove after the woman refused to pay any rent due to the damage. Read the full article

Follow @talkaboutitrap - #Tupac #thuglife Shakur never professed to follow a particular religion, but his lyrics in singles such as "Ghetto Gospel" and "Only God Can Judge Me" and poems such as The Rose That Grew from Concrete (poetry collection) suggest he believed in God. Many analysts currently describe him as a deist.[91] He believed in Karma but rejected a literal afterlife and organized religion.[92] Shakur has had several family members who were members of the Black Panthers; Mutulu Shakur, his step-father; Assata Shakur, his step-aunt; Billy Garland, his biological father; and Afeni Shakur, his mother. Shakur publicly spoke out against interracial marriage in an interview with Source magazine in 1994,[93] but later retracted these comments.[94] His bandana tied into rabbit ears was considered by one writer as one of hip-hop's most recognizable style choices.[95] Shakur was friends with Mike Tyson,[96] Chuck D,[97] Marlon Wayans,[98] and Rosie Perez.[99] He befriended fellow rappers Snoop Dogg and Freddie Foxxx, collaborating on songs with the pair and writing to Foxxx while in prison.[100] Tupac attended the John Muir High School prom with his god sister Tashauna Howard.[101] He was also engaged to Kidada Jones.[102] He had a three year relationship with Madonna.[103][104] Billy Garland said Shakur's anger was derived from his frustrations in being misunderstood, pointing specifically to whenever his commitment to the black community and the West Coast were questioned. #wmihradio #phillyradio #philly #interactiveradio #radio #music #internetradio #Tunein #internetradioshow #streamingradio #podcast #2pac
