#OnThisDay, 18 July 1976, Romanian Nadia Comăneci becomes the first gymnast to score a perfect 10 at the Olympics. She broke the scoreboards as they only went to 9.99.
In 1989, having lived under tight surveillance and control since she was a child, she defected to the USA by walking through the night from Romania to Hungary.

Right, good people. Talk to me about vits/min supplements.
It's not something am up in, other than the most basics, but at Dr this morning for blood tests, she wanted to check my Bs, but as usual not a single drop could she get, so have to do back for someone else to try. I do take supplements and have done for years, so was surprised last year to discover that a random blood that worked then had shown low iron. Taking it tends to upset my stomach a bit though.
So, what is best make, what combo best to try, as iron and calcium tend to go together but what then re needing to take a general one with everything in it...if that makes any sense. At the moment what I take is a multi vit and mineral and a separate D3, and evening primrose out of habit always had, back from when young and was pre meno.
I admit my diet could be better, as in I don't actually eat very much, my appetite is not great and don't often feel hungry. My weight should be far less than it is but my metabolism etc went to hell when developed all the auto immune crap.

With the TaiChi Yin Yang flag and bagua trigram or hexagram also in the flag with the three broken or unbroken lines
You would think Korea taught Bagua and TaiChi since they literally have their symbols in the flag but no they have TaeKwonDo everywhere instead of internal martial arts or Neigong
Trigrams (Black Symbols):
Each trigram consists of three lines, either solid (yang) or broken (yin), and they represent the four classical elements:
Geon Heaven (three solid lines).
Gon☷Earth (three broken lines)
Ri☲Fire (two solid lines with a broken line in the middle).
Gam☵Water (two broken lines with a solid line in the middle)
These elements symbolize core concepts in Korean philosophy and culture, representing harmony, balance, and the interconnectedness of all things

Our economic system may squash workers, but we should at least celebrate the marvels of choice it provides for consumers!
For example, if you don't like Hertz, you're free to rent a car from Dollar or Thrifty instead. (OK, wait, bad example - they're all owned by the same company.)
Let's try again: Don't like Match.com? Then find dates on OK Cupid or Tinder or Hinge or PlentyOfFish or...
(What's that? They're all owned by one company, too? Yikes...)

En cartographie y'a deux écoles:
- Le département, enfin la CEA, qui estime qu'une bande cyclable au bord d'une route majeur où les voitures/poids lourds roulent à 90km/h en pleine ligne droite c'est un "itinéraire vélo structurant"
- Les communauté de commune de centre Alsace (Selestat...) qui indiquent "Axe non recommandé pour un public familial" (et distinguent les pistes cyclables des voies partagées)
J'ai testé Selestat-Marckolsheim, je recommande pas 😨
Une bande cyclable c'est pas de la sécurité pour une route > 40km/h
not' bon maire (j'étais dans l'équipe municipale, j'ai claqué, j'suis parti) avait une super idée :
"y'a un chemin de tracteur, là, entre les 2 hameaux", on n'a qu'à en faire une piste cyclable.
mais, on bitume, tout ça? comment on fait pour que les tracteurs bousillent pas tout?
ah, non, pas besoin, ça va c'est un chemin quoi, y'a juste à mettre des panneaux.
Les politiques d’aménagement #velo c'est fait par des gens qui font pas de vélo.

Des gens qui voient ça comme un loisir le dimanche, et comprennent pas les difficultés du #velotaf et de la #randoVelo (contraintes horaires, poids des sacoches, fatigue)
Et connaissent pas les vélo atypiques (cargo, tricycles) avec leur piste de 50cm de large et leur arceaux pince-roue.
In May, early-stage mortgage delinquencies posted the largest month-over-month increases of any other debt type, according to a report from VantageScore, a credit scoring company. That's particularly notable, since borrowers usually prioritize their mortgage debt over other loans, making it less common for them to fall behind on their house payments.
