The Ultimate Keto Meal Plan⚡️ Lose Weight Faster
The Ultimate Keto Meal Plan⚡️
If you find yourself in a conversation about dieting or weight loss, chances are you’ll hear about the ketogenic, or keto, diet. The keto diet has become one of the most popular methods worldwide among people trying to lose weight and improve their health.
Some research suggests that adopting this low carb, high fat diet may promote fat loss and improve glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes.
The keto diet may also have neuroprotective effects and help improve cognitive function in people with Alzheimer’s disease, though more research is needed.
While the keto diet does seem to have some benefits, it is typically high in saturated fat. This can raise LDL (“bad”) cholesterol in some individuals, which may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke.
For this reason, the keto diet may not be a good option for everyone.
Additionally, the keto diet is not recommended for people who are pregnant or nursing, or those who have kidney disease, liver disease, respiratory failure, cardiac arrhythmia, or type 1 diabetes.

Magnificent Century Episode 1 _ English Subtitle
Prince Süleyman receives the bad news as he's on hunting with his right-hand man İbrahim of Parga that his father Selim the Resolute deceased. Prince Süleyman sets off on his way to Istanbul at once. Prince Süleyman arrives to the capital city sharply. He immediately attends to the ceremony of accession to the throne. His whole life changes on a day and he starts to his sultan life as Sultan Süleyman.
Alex is brought to Topkapı Palace although her rebelliousness. Her attitude calls Sultana's attention from the very beginning. However, Alex learns the rules of the palace in very short time. She raises her sights. Alex becomes successful with attracting Sultan Süleyman's attention at the night he sees her for the first time. In the mean time, Sultan Süleyman's wife Mahidevran comes from Manisa Palace and looks forward to see his husband.
At the age of 26, when he ascended to the throne, Sultan Suleiman aimed to build an empire more powerful than Alexander the Great and to render the Ottomans invincible. Throughout his 46-year reign, he became the greatest warrior and ruler of both East and West.
The young Suleiman received news of his succession to the throne during a hunting party in 1520. Unaware that he would be ruling a reign beyond his dreams, he left behind his wife son and took to the road with his close friend and companion Pargali Ibrahim to reach the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul. As they started their journey overland, an Ottoman ship set sail from Crimea in the Black Sea, bringing female slaves as gifts for the Ottoman palace… On this ship was Alexandra La Rossa, the daughter of a Ukrainian Orthodox minister, taken away from her family and sold to the Crimean palace. She had no idea that she would become Hurrem, wife of Sultan Suleiman and mother of princes, ruling the empire with him through bloodshed and intrigue.
As Sultan Suleiman conquered the world, his great passion for Hurrem would clash with his love for and trust in his closest friend and advisor, Grand Vizier Pargali Ibrahim, all set against the backdrop of the tension between Christian Europe and the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century.

How Starbucks Beat The Odds In Italy
How Starbucks Beat The Odds In Italy
In 2018, Starbucks opened its first store in Italy, a 25,000-square-foot roastery in Milan. Despite being inspired by Italian coffeehouse culture, the American chain faced resistance when entering the country. Since then, the company has opened a total of 20 stores in northern and central Italy and plans to open five more before the end of 2022. A few other American brands like Domino’s, Ben & Jerry’s and Häagen-Dazs have failed to expand successfully in Italy, but will the country that invented espresso embrace the world’s largest coffee chain?

Why Saving For Retirement Feels Impossible
Why Saving For Retirement Feels Impossible?
Retirement is the final chapter of the American Dream. Every year, Americans spend over 2,000 hours working and saving to prepare for the ‘golden years’ of their lives. But that dream is quickly turning into a fairy tale.
A survey by the American Advisors Group found that more than a third of Americans today feel unprepared or unsure if they are on track for retirement. And nearly a third of seniors say they either plan to work through the age of 70 or never retire, according to a study by BlackRock.
“The United States is definitely facing a retirement crisis,” said Nari Rhee, a director of the retirement security program at the UC Berkeley Labor Center. “If we don’t do anything about it, years down the line you’re going to wind up with a lot more seniors in poverty and reliance on public services.”
One million dollars in a retirement account just two years ago is worth about $120,000 less when adjusted for inflation, and now, with that financial backdrop, a quarter of Americans say that are expecting to delay their retirement due to rising consumer costs, according to a survey by BMO Harris Bank.
So Is America really facing a retirement crisis and if so, can it be stopped? Watch the video to find out.

The fall (and rise_) of unions in the US
The fall (and rise_) of unions in the US
“How come we’ve seen such a decline in unionization in the US?” That’s the question we received from one of our viewers, Cameron when we put out a call for topics to explain. It comes at an interesting time.
Earlier this year, the Amazon Labor Union won its first election at a large warehouse in New York, and more than 200 Starbucks locations have voted to unionize since baristas in Buffalo broke the seal in December 2021. The National Labor Relations Board reports that petitions for union elections are up 56 percent this year compared to 2021.
This level of energy and momentum in the labor movement is remarkable in light of the long, steep decline in union membership rates since the 1950s. Social science has limited tools for establishing what caused that decline, and different experts tend to emphasize different factors. But in the video above, we dig into a few key drivers of low union density in the US relative to other wealthy countries.

Can Sea Water Desalination Save The World
Can Sea Water Desalination Save The World
Today, one out of three people don’t have access to safe drinking water. And that’s the result of many things, but one of them is that 96.5% of that water is found in our oceans. It’s saturated with salt, and undrinkable. Most of the freshwater is locked away in glaciers or deep underground. Less than one percent of it is available to us. So why can’t we just take all that seawater, filter out the salt, and have a nearly unlimited supply of clean, drinkable water?

How Did Singapore Become So Rich_ Singapore's Economic Secrets
How Did Singapore Become So Rich_ Singapore's Economic Secrets
The Economy of Singapore’s GDP per capita grew over 125 times since independence, to become a high income nation.
Rarely in the history of humanity has a nation travelled the path from poverty to riches so quickly or completely.
But how did Singapore do it? What are the secrets to Singapore’s success?
To understand the economy of Singapore, we must briefly look at its history. Singapore got its start in life as a venture of the British East India Company in the early 18th century, due to its strategic location between India, China and South East Asia. By the late 1800s it had been fully incorporated as a crown colony of the British Empire, becoming an important naval base in the far east. The stability and infrastructure provided made the island an attractive option for migrants, with the island’s population growing rapidly.

How _Spider-Verse_ forced animation to evolve
How _Spider-Verse_ forced animation to evolve!
When you think of CGI animated films, you likely think of Pixar. The studio practically invented the genre with 1995’s Toy Story — the first CGI animated feature film.
After Toy Story, almost all animation studios wanted to follow in Pixar’s successful footsteps, straight down to their style. Many studios sought out “The Pixar Look”: extremely high quality, physically based, and in some cases almost photorealistic.
It’s an appealing approach that remains popular at the box office — but animated movies started looking kind of homogeneous. And while studios and independent artists tested out more stylized approaches in short films, no studio would commit to a feature-length animated movie that looked so different.
That is, until Sony Pictures/Imageworks took on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Instead of chasing the look everyone was after, the team wanted to create something visually new. They did it with “non-photorealistic rendering.”
And since Spider-Verse, non-photorealism has taken off, with almost every studio set to incorporate it in the next five years. Check out our video to learn more about how non-photorealism works.

How “Dementia Villages” Work!!!
How “dementia villages” work
Can miniature towns make dementia care more humane?
On any given day at the Hogeweyk, you can see locals wandering the streets, going out for coffee, folding laundry, and tending gardens, all surrounded by lush outdoor space. Located in Weesp, a Dutch city just outside Amsterdam, the Hogeweyk is a planned village intentionally designed for one purpose: maximizing quality of life for its 180 residents — all of whom have severe dementia.
Inside, nurses and doctors don’t wear uniforms, meals are cooked inside the home with groceries from the village grocery store, and other Weesp residents are free to dine at the on-site restaurant. These design choices aim to deinstitutionalize senior living, blurring the line between what typically happens in front of residents and what happens out of sight.
The style of care that this facility pioneered has been nicknamed the “dementia village,” and it’s been emulated across the world. It’s architecturally organized around choice; by giving residents a high level of freedom, its designers hope to minimize issues associated with dementia like aggression, confusion, and wandering.

Why Beavers Matter As The Planet Heats Up?
Why beavers matter as the planet heats up?
If you know anything about beavers, it’s probably that they build dams. These giant structures made of sticks, stones, and mud can reach heights up to 10 feet (3 meters) and lengths averaging 20 feet (6 meters) — though the biggest one ever found was significantly larger and could be seen from space. Dams completely alter the surrounding landscape, flooding the surrounding area and creating wetlands. It’s one reason beavers have often been considered pests that can cause serious damage when they build dams too close to homes or roads.
But scientists have also understood beavers’ importance as “ecosystem engineers” for decades. And as the climate crisis continues to worsen, newer studies are finding that beavers play a vital role in dampening its effects — especially in areas prone to fire, drought, and even heat waves. To build a more resilient future, it might be best to look to the beavers.
