 especially when we’re learning something new. Given the similarities of size and shape of the caffeine molecule and adenosine molecule, your body accepts it as an equal replacement, as it heads right for the adenosine receptors in your system.
With those receptors replaced and blocked, the brain’s own stimulants, dopamine and glutamate, can do their work more freely without distraction, giving you more stimulated energy.
While the extra energy is great for those of us who need a bost, it’s not all good for our brains.

Common downsides of coffee
1. Trouble sleeping
We’ve all had nights where we roll side to side of our beds because we just couldn’t fall asleep. While it’s perfectly fine to have our dose of caffeine in the morning, we should be cautious of consuming it in the later parts of the day, especially if you’re sensitive to caffeine or an early sleeper. So until when is it safe to drink caffeine that will have little to no affect on your sleep quality? According to the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, six hours before sleep is the recommended deadline to follow of when you should stop consuming more caffeine.
2. Energy crashes
Unless you are drinking coffee or taking a caffeine stimulant on a regular basis, it’s common to experience a crash in our bodies after the energy boost wears off. That’s because caffeine initially stimulates your body to produce more adrenaline and dopamine than usual, two substances in your body that contribute to energy and positive mood; when these chemicals begin to drop again, you can experience fading energy and a drop in mood.
A strategy that has been proven by researchers is to drink their coffee in strategic times, such as a caffeine nap. Here’s what Wired has to say about caffeine naps, its effects and how to use it to your advantage:.
3. Heart burn or upset stomach
The majority of our bodies are contained by water. We need it to feel energized, be healthy, and simply survive. Caffeine however, triggers our bodies to remove water from our bodies, making us feel dehydrated. It also raises the amount of acid in our stomach, causing heartburn or upset stomach. While these are the common downsides of caffeine, here’s an infographic displaying some of the other possible symptoms.
Side effects of coffee
Now that we’re done with the pessimistic side of caffeine, let’s talk about the beauty that caffeine can bring us.
Positive effects of coffee
1. Burn fat
The great thing about coffee is its low calorie intake. A regular black coffee will contain only two calories (without the sugar and cream). In fact, several studies show that caffeine can boost the metabolic rate by three to 11 percent, which is why almost any weight loss product you’ll see on the store shelves will contain some levels of caffeine inside. Keep in mind that this powerful effect will not be sustained for long-term coffee drinkers.
2. Nutrients for your body
Unless you’re drinking instant coffee, the coffee beans to make the coffee contain nutrients that are recommended for our daily intake. A single cup of coffee contains:
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): 11 percent of the RDA.
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): six percent of the RDA.
Manganese and Potassium: three percent of the RDA.
Magnesium and Niacin (B3): two percent of the RDA.
Coffee also contains one of the highest sources of antioxidants for our bodies. Americans get more of their antioxidants from coffee than any other dietary source. Nothing else comes close. – Joe Vinson, Ph.D
3. Reduce risk of diseases
From diabetes, dementia, Parkinson, to Alzheimer’s disease, coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of having these diseases in the future. Several studies show that coffee drinkers have:
up to a 65 percent lower risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease
a much lower risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, with a reduction in risk ranging from 32 to 60 percent
a 23 to 50 percent lower risk of getting diabetes
up to a 40 percent lower risk of liver cancer
a 15 percent lower risk of colorectal cancer (those who drank four to five cups/day)
The TV star opened up in a candid chat with Fearne Cotton, admitting she ‘isn’t fully healed’ after her separation from partner of seven years, Eddie Boxshall
Love split TV star Denise Van Outen says she has downloaded a dating app after having therapy to become the "best person I can be for my next relationship".
She admitted her break-up from partner of seven years Eddie Boxshall had ‘literally floored’ her.
Denise threw out the 49-year-old commodities trader after catching him sexting behind her back.
But the 48-year-old ex-EastEnders’ star, who narrates TOWIE and was a runner-up in Strictly, said she is a `tough old cookie’ who is preparing to try online dating for the first time in a bid to find new love.
She told Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast she was recovering from her break-up and ‘open to’ another relationship.
Denise revealed she has downloading a dating app
“I’m good actually,” she said.
“I wasn’t good. I wouldn’t say I’m fully healed. But I am getting there.
“Also for the first time in my life I’m doing therapy.
“Because everything that happened floored me, literally floored me, I then wanted to understand why there seems to be a pattern on my side - why I allow myself to sometimes perhaps try to fix things and make things right.

She went on to say she is really ‘enjoying’ the process and feels ‘much better’ that she did.
“I’m actually really enjoying it because I’m learning so much about myself.
“I want to be the best person I can be for my next relationship.
“I feel I’m getting a lot out of it. So I feel so much better than I did.”
She now realised ‘we are not all the same’ and though she may have a ‘little bit of an issue’ over trusting someone new she was ‘open to it’.
“I did download a dating app the other day but I haven’t gone on it. I’m so scared. It would be my first ever. I don’t know if it’s for me.

“I downloaded it and then I felt really awkward about it and I thought, 'I don’t know if I can do this'.
“I know it is the modern way but I’m also very old fashioned.
“My morals, my values, the way I approach relationships is so old fashioned, and that’s also one of the issues that I’ve probably got. My parents have been together forever, so that’s my benchmark.
“I just don’t know if I’m ready to swipe just yet. A few months ago I wouldn’t even have considered it.”
Her decision to join the app comes shortly after her devastating split from Eddie.The Paris agreement is exerting pressure on industries that generate significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, such as transportation. Electrification can help reduce GHG emissions from light duty vehicles, but it is unfeasible for heavy duty vehicles that are predominately powered by diesel engines. Fuel switching from diesel to low carbon fuels is a more practical way helping reduce GHG emissions from heavy duty vehicles. Natural gas and renewable natural gas are low carbon or renewable fuels that generate much less carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions than diesel during combustion. Natural gas/renewable natural gas – diesel dual fuel combustion is an efficient way to replace diesel by natural gas/renewable natural gas in heavy duty diesel engines.
This paper reports an experimental investigation on combustion and GHG emissions of a heavy duty natural gas – diesel dual fuel engine at different load/speed conditions. The variation in the effect of natural gas fraction on engine performance with changing engine load was compared and analyzed. Nitrous oxide (N2O), nitrogen oxides (NOx), methane (CH4) and CO2 emissions were experimentally investigated and analyzed. The results revealed that the effect of natural gas fraction on engine performance changed with varying engine load and speed condition. N2O emissions from a dual fuel engine changed with increasing natural gas fraction, but the effect of N2O emissions on overall GHG emissions was not significant. However, CH4 emissions contributed significantly to the overall GHG emissions in a dual fuel engine, especially at low load conditions.

I added a new page on Mrs. Simon J. Tunstall (born Marianne Lawson Innes). She was married to Simon John Tunstall, who was a physician and real property developer. Mrs. Tunstall was at 2037 Pendrell Street in 1913, although the directory spelled her surname as “Dunstall.”For your entire young life, the greatest resource you have available to you is time.
