Those payments “are actually being mailed to the taxpayers,” a Treasury Department spokesperson told TIME. The Get My Payment site also has some known issues, including a message that mistakenly told some users that payments rejected by banks were being re-sent to the same account. After the May 13 cutoff, the IRS will prepare paper checks “that will begin arriving through late May and into June,” according to an IRS statement.

However, paper checks may take weeks longer to arrive than direct deposits. The agency says that if it attempts to use direct deposit but an account is closed, the bank will reject the deposit, and the IRS will mail you a paper check with the address it has on file for you. In the coming weeks, Treasury plans to develop a web-based portal for individuals to provide their banking information to the IRS online, so that individuals can receive payments immediately as opposed to checks in the mail.If you filed your 2018 or 2019 tax return with direct deposit information, the IRS will use that information to deposit your stimulus payment directly in your bank account.

There have been increasing calls, however, for the minimum recommended daily protein intake in older people to be higher than that. ![]() Recommended dietary protein intakes for adults of all ages, based on nitrogen balance studies, are 0.8 gm/kg body weight in most countries, with no adjustments for age or gender. Dietary Protein Requirements in Older People Frequently used preparations contain about 9–15 gm protein (15–17% of total energy) in a 200–240 mL serving.ģ. When the aim is to maintain body weight and general nutrition, rather than specifically enhance skeletal muscle and function, these usually take the form of a mixture of macronutrients in a drink containing 1–1.5 kcal/mL of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. It is often recommended that older people take nutritional supplement drinks between and well separated from regular meals so as not to reduce energy intake at those meals maintenance of weight or even weight gain is a desirable outcome in the many older people with, or at risk of, under-nutrition.Ĭonsequently, specific nutritional supplements, usually commercial preparations, are used widely by older people. The use of such supplements offers the opportunity to more closely tailor the timing and composition of added protein intake to what is likely to be most beneficial. Mixed macronutrient supplements are used for the former, while supplements of pure protein or very high in protein are used more specifically for the latter. Consequently, nutritional supplements are increasingly recommended for, and used by, older people, both as a means of increasing total energy intake (when harmful weight loss is a concern) and to increase protein intake. While these “Food First” approaches may be sufficient, they may be difficult to implement because of the cost of foods or time/staffing/convenience constraints, and not always successful. ![]() The major markers of existing or pending under-nutrition in older people are low body weight (particularly body mass index 5% substantial loss of muscle mass, which can lead to sarcopenia (see below) reduced muscle strength and function reduced appetite and food intake and frailty. Rates of under-nutrition increase with age and loss of independence it is present in up to 45% of community dwelling elderly people, 50–80% in hospital, and 80–100% in residential facilities. ![]() Adverse factors prevalent in older people can be superimposed on the age-related changes to cause pathological under-nutrition, with even greater associated increases in morbidity and mortality. This age-related weight loss, particularly when substantial and involuntary, has been associated with increased mortality. Consequently, after about 65 years in developed countries, body weight tends to decrease. Healthy aging is associated with a physiological reduction in appetite and food intake, the so-called “anorexia of aging” people over 80 years consume about 30% less energy per day than those in their 20s. There may be benefits in giving the supplement with rather than between meals, to achieve protein intakes above the effective anabolic threshold with lower supplement doses, and have favourable effects on food-induced blood glucose increases in older people with, or at risk of developing, type 2 diabetes mellitus combined protein and glucose drinks lower blood glucose compared with glucose alone in older people.ġ.1. Many gastrointestinal mechanisms controlling food intake change with age, but their contributions to changes in responses to protein are not yet well understood. It is probably not important to give these supplements between meals, as we have shown no suppressive effects of 30 gm whey drinks, and little if any suppression of 70 gm given to older subjects at varying time intervals from meals. ![]() Protein supplements are probably best taken twice daily, if possible soon after exercise, in doses that achieve protein intakes of 30 gm or more per episode. Many older adults do not consume this much protein and are likely to benefit from higher consumption. Daily protein requirements in older people are in the range of 1.2 gm/kg/day or higher. Protein supplements are increasingly used by older people to maintain nutrition and prevent or treat loss of muscle function. ![]() Gain technological advantage against the hostile environment.

Not only does it make trips to the gas station less frequent, it also produces “as little as half of the amount of C02” as other vehicles. The real benefit to the Escape Hybrid is the hybrid part. During night driving I’m unable to use the cruise controls that are black and hard to see. Both highway noise and engine noise are slightly annoying (the engine in a full hybrid can run at a higher speed than in other vehicles in order to maximize fuel consumption). As with the Ford Freestyle that I drove recently, I find it difficult to get up to speed when entering the highway. I don’t notice it while driving, but while idling in the carpool lane I’m startled on a couple of occasions when the engine starts up on its own accord. The gas engine turns on and off to maximize fuel consumption. Either way, it could really come in handy.ĭriving the Escape Hybrid is an interesting experience. Ford claims its “perfect for … air pump, electric razor or even holiday lights at the campsite.” I’m thinking more along the lines of a bottle heater, butt-wipe warmer or handheld steam cleaner. It would be more comfortable with a telescoping steering wheel.Īlthough I haven’t actually used it, the addition of the 110V power outlet (for $110) is cool. I find myself trying to pull the steering wheel toward me, however. The driver’s seat is easy to adjust and offers a clear and unobstructed view of the road. To expand the storage room, the rear seat has a 60/40 split, and requires a two-step process to fold. The cargo space sports an extra dry cleaning hook that actually holds hangers (unlike others I’ve experienced). It was too heavy to turn so I had to go in straight lines only. After a recent disaster at the mall, I’ve decided my kids are too big for the double stroller now. I didn’t put my double stroller in it, however. The cargo space in the Escape Hybrid is large and functional. She insists on wearing ballet tights to school nearly every day. My 4-year-old greased up several pair of tights attempting to get into the Escape on her own. The Latch connectors in the two outer seating positions are easy to see and easy to use.įor children who like to climb in on their own, I highly recommend a running board. Seats of differing sizes might fit (check out for measurements on popular child seat models). There just isn’t enough width in the back seat to fit all three (two of which have protruding snack and cup holders). I have a Britax Roundabout (forward facing 5-point harness), a Graco something-or-other (forward facing 5-point harness) and a Graco Turbo Booster. I tried fitting three child seats in the back of the Escape Hybrid, to no avail. ![]() Either that, or he’s a young guy without kids who’s never seen how honking big child seats are these days. Well, we all know from experience that he must be on something. She says that a salesman at a Ford dealer swears to her up and down that since it has three seatbelts in the back seat, three child car seats will fit. I’ve been so anxious to drive this car since a reader of mine wrote in asking if it would fit three child seats. ![]() I think that driving the Escape Hybrid for two weeks officially pardons me from those occasional yogurt cups I’ve “mistakenly” thrown in the garbage since January 1.

He took over the Nation of Islam’s headquarters temple, Mosque Maryam (Mosque #2) in Chicago, Illinois. In 1977, Louis Farrakhan rejected Warith Deen Mohammed’s leadership and re-established the Nation of Islam on the original model. After Elijah Muhammad’s death in 1975, his son, Warith Deen Mohammed, changed the name of the organization to “World Community of Islam in the West” (and twice more after that), and attempted to convert it to a mainstream Sunni Muslim ideology. There were a number of splits and splinter groups during Elijah Muhammad’s leadership, most notably the departure of senior leader Malcolm X to become a Sunni Muslim. The Nation has long been a strong advocate of African-American businesses. His successor Elijah Muhammad established places of worship (called temples or mosques), a school named Muhammad University of Islam, farms, and real estate holdings in the United States and abroad.

In the case of the anti-paparazzi scarf, so much light is bounced back from the scarf that the flash quenches prematurely. Despite the steep price point, it seems to have already caught on among celebrities Cameron Diaz, DMX, Paris Hilton. Prepare to have the last smithereens of your brain blown, once again, however, as this is what the stuff looks like in action: The Anti-Paparazzi Collection is a line of clothing by DJ and designer Chris Holmes of Ashtar Command made up of reflective threads. The flash fires until enough light has bounced back into the lens, then it quenches (this happens in less than a millisecond). The scarf appears to be ISHU's most popular item and costs 475 (355). Made out of extremely reflective fabric this anti-paparazzi piece of clothing (aka Ishu scarf) makes the cameras flash light up so bright that everything else in the photo becomes pitch black. After six years of research, everyone and anyone can buy one of his items, which are made of a reflective fabric that emphasise the camera’s flash so much that everything else in the picture becomes pitch black. The inspiration for the products came when their creator, Saif Siddiqui, had one of his photographs ruined by a bike reflector in 2009. The anti-flash ISHU collection features scarfs, phone cases, and ties that render all flash pictures taken of you completely and utterly useless. ![]() Not because the paparazzi are stalking your every move (not yet, anyway) but because nightclub photographers, your best mate, and your aunt Judy are all united in a mission to tag you in a series of pictures that wouldn't be out of place in The 100 Scariest Serial Killer Mugshots Of All Time. ![]() ![]() The theme for this year's conference was one of our key values – Run It Like You Own It.

Halfway through his set, Hammer stepped out to join him in the ubiquitous horse-riding move, as the EDM pulse of “Gangnam Style” was chopped into the gang-vocal hook from his 1991 hit “2 Legit 2 Quit.” PSY’s dancing and darting gestures were so sharp, even as he fights to keep his driving hypeman energy from being eclipsed by the thundering beat. Leaning into his status as a dance-craze progenitor, his AMAs performance drew the connecting line from his fame to that of ’90s rapper/dancer MC Hammer.
