[my big fat greek wedding]Gold Circle Films * YOUR PROTEIN POWDER OF CHOICE MIGHT BE CAUSING YOU TO BREAKOUT. * A DERMATOLOGIST TOLD INSIDER THAT HIGH CONSUMPTION OF WHEY PROTEIN HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH ACNE. * THERE IS, HOWEVER, NO EVIDENCE THAT MODEST AMOUNTS OF WHEY CAUSE BREAKOUTS. * CUTTING WHEY OUT TEMPORARILY OR SWITCHING TO A PLANT-BASED POWDER MIGHT HELP. ------------------------- Acne could be caused by everything from stress to skincare products. Now, Women's Health reports that your whey protein powder might cause acne. According to dermatologists, however, the relationship between acne and food is complicated. Here's what you should know before cutting this time-saver out of your diet. WHEY PROTEIN MIGHT BE RELATED TO BREAKOUTS, BUT _SPECIFIC_ RESEARCH IS INCONCLUSIVE. [Man Drinking Protein Shake]OlegPhotoR / iStock Dermatologist Dr. Kathleen C. Suozzi, assistant professor at Yale School of Medicine, told us in an e-mail that no large-scale controlled study has been done to determine if whey protein directly causes breakouts. There are, however, reports that show there is an _association_ between whey protein and acne. This means that although the two are related, there is no definitive proof that whey protein_ causes_ acne. Suozzi told us that the reports in question often focused on bodybuilders. These patients drank the equivalent of six to 12 liters of milk daily and had acne mainly on their chest and back. Suozzi noted, however, that there are other variables that could have caused this acne flare-up. Bodybuilders, for example, typically have a high use of anabolic steroids and high BMIs — both associated with acne, Suozzi said. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ACNE AND FOOD IS COMPLICATED. [fried eggs]Mike McCune/Flickr "Diet and acne is always a controversial topic," Suozzi said. Some foods are known to make you breakout, while there are other foods that can reportedly help with your breakouts. Although there is some data to support it, Suozzi said there is no complete certainty that specific foods directly cause acne. "We have data to support that diets with high glycemic index, high in carbohydrates and or high in dairy may be associated with acne," she said. "These studies are all limited by their methodology in that it is very hard to design a randomized controlled trial to look at the effects of diet on acne; these studies show association but cannot determine causality." Everything from insulin levels, carbohydrates, and dairy are also associated with acne, according to Suozzi. The link between protein powder and breakouts is likely due to it being a milk byproduct, Suozzi said. According to Self, whey can indirectly stimulate insulin which, not only regulates blood sugar, but sebum production too. Sebum, an oily substance your glands secrete, can clog your skin and cause acne, a previous INSIDER story reported. Suozzi doesn't know of other dietary proteins being linked to acne. One study even found that a general high-protein diet resulted in an improvement of people's skin. This research, unfortunately, doesn't make the conclusion any clearer as to the relationship between food and breakouts. YOU DON'T HAVE TO QUIT PROTEIN POWDER ALL-TOGETHER. [protein shake]Shutterstock Although you might not have to ditch protein powder completely, Suozzi recommended temporarily cutting it out to see how doing so affects your skin. She especially recommended this if you have been over-doing it on the powder and have seen new or worsening acne. You might not have the same reaction to whey as others, for example, so it's best to test it. There are also other types of protein powders that you can use instead of whey, like plant-based powders. You don't have to give up this time-saving option completely. Test how it affects your skin and plan from there. NOW WATCH: A dermatologist explains what causes acne and how you can prevent it

When the US seized California in 1846, its military officers and elected officials had the opportunity to reinvent the framework within which colonists and Native Americans interacted, a framework which had already led to tens of thousands of Indigenous deaths. Instead, they intensified existing anti-Native discriminatory policies and created a genocidal catastrophe. [The Cross of Calvary monument at the Spanish mission of San Francisco Javier.

During the era when Spaniards, Russians and Mexicans colonized the region, around 62,600 Indigenous American deaths occurred at or near California's coastal region missions. The death rate only increased under US rule. (Photo: Kirt Edblom) _History professor Benjamin Madley has written the first comprehensive investigation of the catastrophe that befell California's Indigenous population from 1846 to 1873: a catastrophe that was entirely man-made. _An American Genocide_ catalogs the killing of tens of thousands of Native people during those years, and proves just how complicit the Californian and United States government were in the slaughter. Order this important book by donating to Truthout today! _ _Today, California is the most populous state in the US. But its history includes the deliberate mass murder of Indigenous people in the 1800s. In this excerpt from _An American Genocide_, Benjamin Madley argues that this organized catastrophe qualifies as genocide._ As the sun rose on July 7, 1846, four US warships rode at anchor in Monterey Bay. Ashore, the Mexican tricolor cracked over the adobe walls and red-tiled roofs of California's capitol for the last time. At 7:30 am, Commodore John Sloat sent Captain William Mervine ashore "to demand the immediate surrender of the place." The Mexican commandant then fled, and some 250 sailors and marines assembled at the whitewashed customs house on the water's edge. As residents, immigrants, seamen, and soldiers looked on, Mervine read Commodore Sloat's proclamation: "I declare to the inhabitants of California, that although I come in arms ... I come as their best friend -- as henceforth California will be a portion of the United States, and its peaceable inhabitants will enjoy the same rights and privileges as the citizens of any other portion of that nation." As the USS Savannah's sailors and marines hoisted the Stars and Stripes to a chorus of cheers, three ships of the US Pacific Squadron fired a sixty three-gun salute. The cannons' roar swept over the plaza to the pine-studded hills above the bay before echoing back over the harbor. The first hours of conquest were relatively peaceful, but a new order had come to California. The lives of perhaps 150,000 California Indians now hung in the balance. The US military officers who took control of California that July under martial law had the opportunity to reinvent the existing Mexican framework within which colonists and California Indians interacted. Instead, these officers reinforced and intensified existing discriminatory Mexican policies toward these Indians. The elected civilian state legislators who followed them then radically transformed the relationship between colonists and California Indians. Together with federal officials, they created a catastrophe. Yet, the California Indian population cataclysm of 1846-1873 continued a pre-existing trajectory. During California's seventy-seven-year-long Russo-Hispanic Period (1769-1846) its Indians had already suffered a devastating demographic decline. During the era when Spaniards, Russians, and Mexicans colonized the coastal region between San Diego and Fort Ross, California's Indian population fell from perhaps 310,000 to 150,000. Some 62,600 of these deaths occurred at or near California's coastal region missions, and, in 1946, journalist Carey McWilliams initiated a long debate over the nature of these institutions when he compared the Franciscan missionaries, who had held large numbers of California Indians there, to "Nazis operating concentration camps." Today, a wide spectrum of scholarly opinion exists, with the extreme poles represented by mission defenders Father Francis Guest and Father Maynard Geiger, on the one hand, and mission critics Rupert and Jeannette Costo -- who called the missions genocidal -- on the other. However one judges the missions, Russo-Hispanic colonization caused the deaths of tens of thousands of California Indian people. Under US rule, California Indians died at an even more astonishing rate. Between 1846 and 1870, California's Native American population plunged from perhaps 150,000 to 30,000. By 1880, census takers recorded just 16,277 California Indians. Diseases, dislocation, and starvation were important causes of these many deaths. However, abduction, de jure and de facto unfree labor, mass death in forced confinement on reservations, homicides, battles, and massacres also took thousands of lives and hindered reproduction. According to historical demographer Sherburne Cook, an often-quoted authority on California Indian demographic decline, a "complete lack of any legal control" helped create the context in which these phenomena were possible. Was the California Indian catastrophe just another western US tragedy in which unscrupulous individuals exploited the opportunities provided in a lawless frontier? The organized destruction of California's Indian peoples under US rule was not a closely guarded secret. Mid-nineteenth-century California newspapers frequently addressed, and often encouraged, what we would now call genocide, as did some state and federal employees. Historians began using these and other sources to address the topic as early as 1890. That year, historian Hubert Howe Bancroft summed up the California Indian catastrophe under US rule: "The savages were in the way; the miners and settlers were arrogant and impatient; there were no missionaries or others present with even the poor pretense of soul saving or civilizing. It was one of the last human hunts of civilization, and the basest and most brutal of them all." In 1935, US Indian Affairs commissioner John Collier added, "The world's annals contain few comparable instances of swift depopulation -- practically, of racial massacre -- at the hands of a conquering race." In 1940, historian John Walton Caughey titled a chapter of his California history "Liquidating the Indians: 'Wars' and Massacres." Three years later, Cook wrote the first major study on the topic. He quantified the violent killing of 4,556 California Indians between 1847 and 1865, concluding that, "since the quickest and easiest way to get rid of [the Northern California Indian] was to kill him off, this procedure was adopted as standard for some years." In the same year that Cook published his groundbreaking article, Nazi mass murder in Europe catalyzed the development of a new theoretical and legal framework for discussing such events. In 1943, legal scholar Raphael Lemkin coined a new word for an ancient crime. Defining the concept in 1944, he combined "the Greek word genos (tribe, race) and the Latin cide," or killing, to describe genocide as any attempt to physically or culturally annihilate an ethnic, national, religious, or political group. The 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide more narrowly defined genocide as "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such," including: > (a) Killing members of the group; > > (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; > > (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life > calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in > part; > > (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; > > (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. The Genocide Convention thus provides an internationally recognized and rather restrictive rubric for evaluating possible instances of genocide. First, perpetrators must evince "intent to destroy" a group "as such." Second, perpetrators must commit at least one of the five genocidal acts against "a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such." The Genocide Convention criminalizes the five directly genocidal acts defined above and also other acts connected to genocide. The Convention stipulates that "the following acts shall be punishable," including: > (a) Genocide; > > (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; > > (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; > > (d) Attempt to commit genocide; > > (e) Complicity in genocide. Finally, the Convention specifies that "persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated . . . shall be punished, whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals." In US criminal law, intent is present if an act is intentional, not accidental. The international crime of genocide involves more, comprising "acts committed with intent to destroy" a group "as such." International criminal lawyers call this specific intent, meaning destruction must be consciously desired, or purposeful. Yet, specific intent does not require a specific motive, a term absent from the Genocide Convention. Under the Convention's definition, genocide can be committed even without a motive like racial hatred. The motive behind genocidal acts does not need to be an explicit desire to destroy a group; it may be, but the motive can also be territorial, economic, ideological, political, or military. TRUTHOUT PROGRESSIVE PICK ------------------------- [An American Genocide: The United States and the California Indian Catastrophe, 1846-1873] The decimation of California’s Indigenous population through state-sanctioned mass murder. CLICK HERE NOW TO GET THE BOOK! ------------------------- Moreover, the Convention declares that "genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in time of war, is a crime under international law." If the action is deliberate, and the group's partial or total destruction a desired outcome, the motive behind that intent is irrelevant. Yet, how does a twentieth century international treaty apply to nineteenth-century events? The Genocide Convention does not allow for the retroactive prosecution of crimes committed before 1948, but it does provide a powerful analytical tool: a frame for evaluating the past and comparing similar events across time. Lemkin himself asserted that, "genocide has always existed in history," and he wrote two manuscripts addressing instances of genocide in periods ranging from "Antiquity" to "Modern Times." Genocide is a twentieth-century word, but it describes an ancient phenomenon and can therefore be used to analyze the past, in much the way that historians routinely use other new terms to understand historical events. Indeed, Lemkin planned chapters titled "Genocide against the American Indians" and "The Indians in North America (in part)," but he died before he could complete either project. _Copyright (2016) by Benjamin Madley.

[spain youth unemployment]Susana Vera/Reuters * THE EUROZONE'S YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT REMAINS HIGH SEVERAL YEARS AFTER THE FINANCIAL CRISIS EVEN THOUGH THE REGION'S OVERALL UNEMPLOYMENT HAS FALLEN TO ITS LOWEST RATE SINCE FEBRUARY 2009. * YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT RATES VARY WIDELY ACROSS EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. * GREECE, SPAIN, AND ITALY HAVE THE HIGHEST YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT RATES, BUT EVEN COUNTRIES LIKE FRANCE AND FINLAND HAVE HIGH RATES. ------------------------- High youth unemployment rates have been a problem across the world since the global financial crisis. One region that had been hit particularly hard by this trend is Europe — both in developed and emerging parts of the continent, and eurozone youth unemployment remains stubbornly high in parts of the region years after the peak of the crisis. While the eurozone's overall unemployment rate came in at 8.9% for September 2017 — the lowest rate since February 2009 — the region's youth unemployment for those aged 15-24 remains high at 18.7%, according to data from Eurostat. "The eurozone's youth unemployment rate remains worryingly high," Jessica Hinds, European economist at Capital Economics, said in a note to clients. "It is hardly reassuring that almost 20% of those who are ready to work are jobless." Youth unemployment rates vary widely across the Eurozone countries, which you can see in the chart below shared by Hinds. Greece, Spain, and Italy have the highest around 40%, while Germany and the Netherlands have the lowest around 7-11%. But even countries like France and Finland have high youth unemployment, hovering at 22.5% and 20.5%, respectively. Across the region, youth unemployment rates are higher for those who have less education. Many of those who are out of work have been out of work for some time. A quarter of Greece' labor force aged 15-24 and one fifth of Italy's had been unemployed for over a year in 2016, according to data cited by Hinds. "The longer that somebody is unemployed, the more likely they are to become discouraged, miss out on opportunities to develop skills and drop out of the labour force," she said.

Yanis Varoufakis, former finance minister of Greece and author of "Adults in the Room: My Battle with the European and American Deep Establishment," explains that the rise of Donald Trump and the alt-right is a symptom of the failure of the establishment and liberal capitalism. Following is a transcript of the video. YANIS VAROUFAKIS: My name is Yanis Varoufakis. I'm a failed finance minister of a failed state called Greece. I've written a book, "Adults in the Room." Donald Trump is a symptom. He's a symptom of the failure of the establishment. He’s a symptom of the failure of liberal capitalism to deal with a crisis of its own making. In the European Union, the Euro crisis, which was a comedy of errors. Every time the great and the good in Europe in the European Union Council and the Eurogroup met since 2008, 2009, they compiled one gross error upon the next. The result being that now there is absolutely no leadership in Europe. Angela Merkel had a splendid opportunity to be the leader that unites Europe, that turns us into United States of Europe, because effectively the moment you start unifying different disparate economies by means of a common currency, that should be a first step towards federation. Instead we are having the opposite process of fragmentation. The alt-right, both in the United States and in Europe, is a symptom. It's a symptom of our generation's 1929, which of course took place in 2008, and of the establishment’s spectacular, colossal failure to deal with the challenges by this, first the financial sector collapse and secondly, inability of our market societies to rise up to the occasion and to find ways of recovering a kind of equilibrium between savings and investment so as to create the prospects and the jobs — good quality jobs – that are the only real antidote to the rise of xenophobia populism. You've got to remember, we have to remember, that deflationary periods, like the 1930s, breed political monsters. So when the great and the good, and the Obama administration has a share of this blame, failed to deal with the crisis that started in 2008, failed to boost investment in things that humanity needs and things that can restore hope, effectively created the circumstances for their own demise and for the rise of the Donald Trumps and the Marine Le Pens and the xenophobic, racist populace around the so-called civilized world.
