A new study adds to the list of potential health threats from global warming: Higher mercury levels in certain fish
Small fish generally have only small amounts of mercury. But when larger predatory fish eat those smaller ones, mercury builds up in their fatty tissue.
The new study, published in the journal Nature, also points to both overfishing and climate change.
researchers found that between the 1970s and 2000s, human fishing practices altered mercury levels in Atlantic cod and spiny dogfish. Meanwhile, rising water temperatures caused mercury levels in Atlantic bluefin tuna to increase by an estimated 56%.

The new basement floor doubles the floor area of the original two properties, creating plenty of space for a master bedroom, two children's bedrooms, a playroom and bathrooms.
It is named Turners Studio as a blue plaque on the side of the building suggests that these particular studios were occupied by the painter between 1811 and 1829,

Vicens had commissioned it as a summer house, where his family could escape the suffocating heat of summer in the city. Rising to the challenge, Gaudí set about creating a dreamy oasis that would transport the occupants to another world.
Casa Vicens was the first house designed by Antoni Gaudí, better known for his unfinished masterpiece
For the first time in its 130-year history, last November this four-storey mansion opened to the public. Two years of exhaustive restoration had returned the house, as far as possible, to its original state
. The design made it one of the first art nouveau buildings in Europe and the house was declared a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2005. It was the last of the six such sites by Gaudí in Barcelona to be opened to the public. An alcove in the dining room illustrates Gaudí’s inimitable aesthetic.

In Cuba, Brazil and elsewhere in Latin America, it is not uncommon to find very young children sipping coffee with milk in the mornings
The idea that children should have bland, sweet food is a very industrial presumption,” says Krishnendu Ray, a professor of food studies at New York University who grew up in India. “In many parts of the world, breakfast is tepid, sour, fermented and savory.”
Children begin to acquire a taste for pickled egg or fermented lentils early — in the womb, even. Compounds from the foods a pregnant woman eats travel through the amniotic fluid to her baby. After birth, babies prefer the foods they were exposed to in utero, a phenomenon scientists call “prenatal flavor learning.”
This early enculturation means a child in the Philippines might happily consume garlic fried rice topped with dried and salted fish called tuyo at 6 in the morning, while many American kids would balk at such a meal (even at dinnertime). We learn to be disgusted, just as we learn to want a second helping.
In utero, a 13-week-old fetus will gulp amniotic fluid more quickly when it contains sugar. Our native sweet tooth helps explain the global popularity of sugary cereals and chocolate spreads like Nutella: Getting children to eat sugar is easy. Teaching them to eat slimy fermented soybeans, by contrast, requires a more robust and conservative culinary culture, one that resists the candy-coated breakfast buffet.

The key here, Wood explains, is to start with a dark base color and then add layers of material, like wood, leather, and fur. Also, get yourself a dire wolf to sleep in that cosy faux fur bed.
"The eclectic and boho elements come from her Dothraki days and represent her becoming the Mother of Dragons," Wood tells us. "The mixed metals and armor-like decor are an ode to the Unsullied who were freed by Daenerys and fight for her."Don't miss that egg-like ottoman, a nod to the queen's dragon children.
House Lannister is Mediterranean meets Colonial traditional," Wood says. "Elements of bone inlay, mixed woods, metals, and detailed carved woods combine to make the interior feel a touch rustic and industrial but also luxurious."
It's all about finding some antique-ish carved-wood pieces, and mixing and matching textile prints.

Plush carpets and a few blue and black accents make Modsy's version seem a bit more comfortable than he'd require, but Wood still calls the mostly white space "austere."
"Start with an all white base, and build out blue and black into the accent decor," she advises. "Stick to more rustic pieces, such as wood side tables and raw edge pieces."

Because of the chewy texture, a variety of fillings inside, including red bean, ice cream and much more, Mochi has been my go-to food whenever I needed something sweet.
All along, when you ordered Mochi, you were actually having Daifuku, or a Yukimi Daifuku, not a Mochi. Of course, Daifuku in a broad term can be considered Mochi, as they are both made out of Glutinous (Sticky) Rice.
some say it originated from the verb motsu, meaning "to hold", or some say it originated from the word mochizuki, meaning "full moon" in Japanese.
Mochi as a main meal, therefore, has no fillings inside such as the ones they sell out here in Vancouver but it is rather a plain, rectangular shaped rice cake that is actually pretty hard when it is dried. While there are a lot of types of Mochi you can make and eat, I would like to introduce Ozōni, a traditional Japanese New Years food.

Konpeito are small, colorful, aesthetically pleasing Japanese candies made almost entirely of sugar. They are more than just another hard candy
Konpeito start with a tiny core of sugar. Each Konpeito undergoes a process of rotating, heating and adding sugar syrup for many days in a gong shaped machine called a Dora. This process gives the konpeito their characteristic tiny bulges. It also makes them very hard with a grainy texture.
Susuwatari are a type of yokai (Japanese ghost) that are translated into English as Soot Sprites or Wandering Soot. They appear in the popular anime films My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away.Soot Sprites eat konpeito.

In all fairness, not all of the fruit is edible. Only the seeds are. In fact, the Osage Orange it is closely related to the Mulberries, which we do eat, and the Paper Mulberry which also has an edible fruit.
To separate the edible seeds from mature fruit put the fruit in a bucket of water and wait until the fruit is soft, then separate the seeds out. This will be an aroma-filled process and not pleasant. Let’s just say starving would help.
While the edibility of the Osage Orange has been maligned for decades, its usefulness as a tree has not. It was and still is esteemed for making bows. In fact, some bow makers think the Osage Orange’s wood for bows is superior to the Yew Tree, which is usually held up to be the classic standard.

A big part of the rationale behind embracing inexpensive design is increased mobility and multiple moves — why buy investment furnishings and worry about moving them? Keeping investments to one or two good pieces streamlines the process and means that it's easier to let go of an item that might not fit in a new space.
This is a generation with a well-developed sense of taste, that follows fashion and style, but also wants good looks at good prices,
"I want items with character I can't find elsewhere. The square space of our homes isn't significant, but the designs are. We want a welcoming space that's a source of inspiration and comfort,"
millennials study what's available on design sites such as Pinterest, Houzz, Remodelista; friends' Instagrams; well-designed blogs; and store sites, such as Ikea, CB2 and Design Within Reach
It's all about the mix — new and old, expensive and cheap, DIY and purchased,
midcentury, Scandinavian and industrial looks rule, with pieces not needing an authentic pedigree — just the look.
The new grays that have gained wide appeal have become a standard base for the millennial palette, along with more whitewashed gray variations, other soft neutrals and cooler whites influenced by Scandinavian decor. Bolder pops of color on accent walls are a popular counterpoint, and colorful wallpapers are also making a comeback
DIY TV shows and YouTube videos offer big inspiration to paint, reconfigure and customize found pieces. This approach appeals for another reason: the social consciousness of going to tag and garage sales or vintage shops and repurposing objects.

A high-level mirror in the kitchen reflects the newly exposed ceiling joists, giving the illusion of continuous space beyond,
One of the key alterations Hutch Design implemented to improve the sense of volume within the property was lowering the ground floor to increase the overall ceiling height.
The main living and dining area is overlooked by the open-plan kitchen, and adjoins a new multipurpose room that can be used as a home office or third bedroom if needed.
To turn a small property, into a larger, more usable home for a young family, we had to be inventive in the use of space," the studio explained.

US design studio Workstead has reimagined "heritage elements as modern luxury
Portrait art hangs on the walls in golden frames, contrasting more abstract paintworks found throughout the residence.
Workstead has preserved many of the original details throughout, like the wooden staircase
aim to celebrate this steep history, Workstead House captures an aesthetic the studio has coined as "southern modernism
Decorative ceiling mouldings, windows and door frames, and fireplaces are also preserved and updated with paint. Related story Workstead's Carriage House features brickwork walls splattered with plaster and paint "Workstead House draws on the property's unique, storied past, reincarnating heritage elements as modern luxury in a welcoming home," said Workstead in a statement. For the furnishings, the studio has paired heritage 19th-century pieces with contemporary designs. "Every element [is] curated in deference to, and reverence of, past and future, evoking a style – and lifestyle – both new and deeply remembered in South Carolina's low country," the studio said. "The result is an all-sensory experience of southern modernism." An eclectic mix of green textiles, leather and wooden chairs, metallic lighting, and planting feature in one of the lounges. Plush orange and green seats are placed in another, along with a tiled white table. Portrait art hangs on the walls in golden frames, contrasting more abstract paintworks found throughout the residence. Chairs with caned backs and aged cabinetry that appears antique decorate the dining room, while the garden room is filled with dark, wicker furniture. A circular wooden counter forms the centrepiece of the kitchen, topped with marble and featuring curved elements that slide out to provide a counter for eating. Upstairs, one of the bedrooms is furnished with a delicate wooden bed frame and a pair of pale chairs, while in the master suite, the bed is backed by a folded brass headboard. Doors lead from this bedroom into the darkly painted en-suite bathroom, where a pair of sinks are built to face out the windows. A rug resembling animal skin covers the wooden floor beside the freestanding bathtub, which has golden taps that match the towel rack and lighting. Workstead is led by husband and wife Robert Highsmith and Stefanie Brechbuehler, and has studios in both Brooklyn and Charleston – a port city that dates back to 1670, and has an impressive collection of historic buildings. Other renovation projects in the city include a restaurant that US design studio Basic Projects transformed from a dark interior into an eclectic, light-filled dining space.

Don't Store Anything Under Your Bed
Feng Shui Your Bedroom
If you're going to have mirrors in the bedroom, Brophy recommends avoiding hanging them across from the bed or across from windows.
Because every item has its own energy, the more stuff that's piled under the bed (even if it's just extra bedding!), the less space there is for your own energy to pass through while you sleep.

Our approach is, if you select things you love, you’ll make it work. It’s better to start with many options and edit later.
Mix high and low
Mix different mediums: Photography, prints, posters, canvases, paintings, drawings, and vintage art add texture and depth to your wall. Using only one medium will appear flat and uninteresting.

“They reflect the relationship I have with my wheelchair.”
“The lighthearted approach has a twofold effect: It empowers a young wheelchair user to make a statement about themselves, and it makes a wheelchair a friendly-looking object rather than one that’s purely functional. Design can have a huge role in dispelling feelings of fear of the unknown, and Izzy Wheels opens up a natural opportunity for wheelchair users to talk about their experiences. It's loud, fun, and makes sure there's no elephant in the room.”
We went into special needs schools and helped people create their own designs for their wheels. You could design your own chair or a friend’s. At that point, seeing how happy it made the users, we just got really passionate about this business.
“Illustration’s role in a project is often to lighten a mood or add some quirks into an otherwise ordinary scene, and this project was a great space to explore that in. It was also interesting designing something in a circle that had to make sense no matter which way was up, so the design really had to be led by the form.”
Izzy Wheels designs are priced at about $135 apiece and attach with Velcro straps that make it easy for the user to attach and remove the wheel covers while sitting down.

American designer Kelly Wearstler has used clashing patterns, colours and textures to decorate a hotel in San Francisco,
Across all of the spaces, she chose an elaborate layering of geometric shapes alongside more organic, floral forms to create a colourful juxtaposition.
San Francisco Prosper's eclectic design offers a contrast to several more pared-back hotels that have opened or completed renovations recently.
Other pieces reference projects from the Wiener Werkstätte – a movement in early-1900s Vienna, founded by a community of designers who produced fixtures, ceramics, clothes, furniture and graphics.
Throughout the ground floor are pillars and moulding, along with marble details. Interiors are kept white, allowing colourful artwork and furniture pieces to pop.

An intelligent mind has a strong aversion to accepting things on face value and therefore withholds belief until presented with ample evidence,
Frank Zhu says "people who can focus for long stretches at a time and tune out distractions" are highly intelligent
Interestingly, journalist Charles Duhigg argues that making these kinds of connections is a hallmark of creativity
The paper describes two small studies that found people with higher scores on an IQ test were slower to recognize large background movements in an image
You contemplate the big questions
Psychologists say that open-minded people — those who seek out alternate viewpoints and weigh the evidence fairly
The time Steve Jobs was putting things off and noodling on possibilities was time well spent in letting more divergent ideas come to the table
You understand how much you don't know
Smart people can "almost feel what someone is thinking/feeling
"intelligent people let themselves become fascinated by things others take for granted."
intelligent individuals "wonder a lot about [the] universe and meaning of life." What's more, Kumar writes, "they always [ask] what's the point of everything?"
smart people are likely to procrastinate on quotidian tasks, mainly because they're working on things that are more important.
smart people are able to see patterns where others can't. That's because they can draw parallels between seemingly disparate ideas.
Wharton psychologist Adam Grant suggests that procrastination is key to innovation, and that Steve Jobs used it strategically.
That existential confusion may be one reason why smart people are more likely to be anxious

The mosaic tiles of the city´s subway fascinated them; in particular, they loved the contrast between the old handmade underground signs and the modern, fast-moving city.
They wanted to show the old letterforms in bright colors in reference to the “new” colorful NYC transit map and original wayfinding system by Massimo Vignelli.

Owners Sid Singh and Ayisha Izmeth worked with Montreal-based architecture studio Atelier Barda to design the 73-square-metre space, which dates back to 1895 and was formerly an art gallery.
"The project's objective was to create a space that was inherently social to emphasise the utility of a neighbourhood cafe,
The focus around the project was uncovering the bones of the space and exposing the scars it developed over the 130 years of standing on James Street North,
The bar is topped with a colourful terrazzo-like material by British designer Max Lamb. Called Marmoreal 157 and launched in 2014, the material comprises engineered marble with three different chunks of Italian marble in red, ochre-yellow and intense green hues.
Each part of the space subtly transitions from one to the other, and draws in soft natural light,"

a smell-free rubbish bin that can quickly compost waste from the kitchen.

A double-lid system and set of rubber seals prevents smell
ying to change people's perceptions of waste and make it as 'sexy' as possible is part of the challenge, and something I relish as a designer," he told Dezeen. "Products already on the market use things like worms and turning mechanisms, but I wanted to find something that was different," he continued. "I stumbled on bokashi in an online journal and thought its simplicity was perfect." The designer created a purposefully "clear and minimal" appearance for the bin, to emphasise the method's cleanliness and simplicity, and visually link it to modern Japanese design. Cullis Watson is currently investigating options for Taihi – which was awarded the 2017 New Designers Joseph Joseph Brilliantly Useful award – and completing a second version of the design. Dutch design duo Makkink & Bey have also created a unique method of waste reuse, designing a toilet that collects poo and wee and transforms it into compost.

eople's perceptions of waste and make it as 'sexy' as possible is part of the challenge, and something I relish as a designer," he told Dezeen. "Products already on the market use things like worms and turning mechanisms, but I wanted to find something that was different," he continued. "I stumbled on bokashi in an online journal and thought its simplicity was perfect." The designer created a purposefully "clear and minimal" appearance for the bin, to emphasise the method's cleanliness and simplicity, and visually link it to modern Japanese design. Cullis Watson is currently investigating options for Taihi – which was awarded the 2017 New Designers Joseph Joseph Brilliantly Useful award – and completing a second version of the design.

comes with a warning that millennials are unlikely to attain their parents' levels of wealth.
wealth inequality has reached yet another record high
The amount of wealth held by the top one per cent rose from 42.5 per cent in 2008
a new report from global banking giant Credit Suisse.
"We expect only a minority of high achievers and those in high-demand sectors such as technology or finance to effectively overcome the 'millennial disadvantage,'" Rohner wrote.
"Inequality has continued to edge upwards, so that ... median wealth fell again this year in Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America," the report said.
Global wealth inequality has reached yet another record high, and the richest one per cent now own slightly more than half of the world's wealth, says a new report from global banking giant Credit Suisse. The latest edition of the bank's Global Wealth Report also comes with a warning that millennials are unlikely to attain their parents' levels of wealth. The amount of wealth held by the top one per cent rose from 42.5 per cent in 2008, at the height of the financial crisis, to 50.1 per cent this year, Credit Suisse said. It has hit a new record high every year since 2013. Patrick Aventurier via Getty Images Luxury yachts are displayed at the Hercules Port in Monaco for the 27th edition of the International Monaco Yacht Show, Sept. 28, 2017 in Monaco. The world's richest one per cent now control slightly more than half the world's wealth, according to a new report from Credit Suisse. Meanwhile, 3.5 billion people, corresponding to 70 per cent of the world's adults, each own less than US$10,000 in wealth, the report found. Together, they hold just 2.7 per cent of the world's wealth. "Inequality has continued to edge upwards, so that ... median wealth fell again this year in Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America," the report said. "Our projections for 2022 suggest more pessimistic scenarios for the immediate years ahead." The world's household wealth grew by 6.4 per cent over the past year, in U.S. dollar terms, the fastest rate in five years. The world minted 2.3 million new U.S.-dollar millionaires in that time, almost half of them in the U.S. Credit Suisse Wealth in Canada grew somewhat more slowly than the world average, up 4.4 per cent in a year in Canadian dollar terms. The number of U.S.-dollar millionaires in Canada has surpassed one million in recent years. Credit Suisse estimates there are 1,078,000 millionaires in Canada, up about 9.5 per cent in two years, from 984,000 in 2015. 'Particularly challenging circumstances' for millennials The report devotes considerable space to assessing young adults' wealth situation, and suggests millennials are unlikely to achieve their parents' levels of wealth. "We find that millennials face particularly challenging circumstances compared to other generations," wrote Credit Suisse chairman Urs Rohner in the report's preamble. "With the baby boomers occupying most of the top jobs and much of the housing, millennials are doing less well than their parents at the same age, especially in relation to income, home ownership and other dimensions of well-being...." More from HuffPost Canada: Canada's Income Inequality 'Surged Under Harper': Analysis 4 Cities Are Responsible For Most Of Canada's Growth In Inequality The report lists a litany of reasons for younger adults' poorer prospects: the destruction of wealth during the financial crisis of 2008-09, and higher unemployment rates since then; rising house prices; increasing inequality and lower income mobility; and less access to retirement pensions. "We expect only a minority of high achievers and those in high-demand sectors such as technology or finance to effectively overcome the 'millennial disadvantage,'" Rohner wrote.
