You said that Ben and Rey both need a change, I totes agree. I really loved Rey's second half TLJ costume. I'd love to see her in some darker clothes instead of the whites. And maybe seeing Ben in some grays and browns? What would you like to see?

Hey Nonnie!

I love Rey’s costume from the end of TLJ too and, while I thought I’d be bored with her current costume, I really love the overall aesthetic (it looks gorgeous in the trailer, for one, and against a dark background *chef kisses*).

To be honest, I am a custome slut, so what I want is probably never going to happen (Naboo, gimme that Amidala fashion aesthetic, my god, PLEASE). I get that everyone’s in the middle of a galactic conflict, but I DON’T CARE. SPACE OPERA. DRAMA. GIMME THE COSTUMES, KAPLAN, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.

Like all those Ben Solo, dramatic senator images? UGH I WANT. I actually kind of see him staying in dark clothes, but like if Kaplan can give me a little bit of a Balmain in the ST I’ll fucking love him forever. 

Specifically:

Or like p much anything from the Balmain F/W 2016.17 – Paris collection (some NS//FW images).

As for Rey, I’d also die to see her in something dark. Like gimme those darkside Bastila vibes (I WANT I WANT I WANT).

Sigh. Anyways, if they’re soaked through, I imagine they’ll be getting changed, at the very least, so we’ll have to see what they end up with (maybe they just have the same clothes bought over and over, they both seem kind of utilitarian like that lol). I also see Kylo keeping a darker aesthetic (maybe something ala Luke in RotJ, with that sexy little white collar pop. I WOULD ALSO GO FOR THIS AND THE BOOTS. THE CHANEL BOOTS.)

Don’t get me started lol. Cheers!

Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has signed defenceman Oscar Fantenberg to a one-year contract worth $850,000.

"Oscar adds depth to our blueline and brings a strong all-around game to our team," said Benning.

Fantenberg, 27, split the 2018.19 season between the Kings (2-1-3 in 46 games) and Flames (0-1-1 in 15 games). In two NHL seasons, the 6-0, 206-pound defenceman has recorded 13 points (4-9-13) in 88 games. He also has one assist in seven Stanley Cup playoff games.

Prior to starting his NHL career with the Kings in 2017.18, the Ljunby, Sweden, native played one season with HC Sochi of the Kontinental Hockey League in 2016.17 where he registered 23 points (3-20-23) in 44 games and represented Sochi in the KHL All-Star Game.

4 Surprising Things to Know About NAD+

What is NAD+?

Well, in order for our bodies to run smoothly, we need NAD+!

NAD+ is a coenzyme used in every biological process. It helps our enzymes create chemical reactions; it’s involved in regulating inflammation and metabolism, repairing DNA, detoxifying cells, regenerating mitochondria, and more.

As we age though, our NAD+ levels diminish; this may be concerning because we require NAD+ to support cellular health. Here are four things to know about NAD+ and how this coenzyme influences long-term health:

1. NAD+ promotes restorative sleep.

Our circadian rhythm (sleep-wake cycle) relies on NAD+ to encourage the circadian rhythm to correspond with the cells’ mitochondria. In fact, NAD+ prompts the mitochondria to have our bodies use stored-up food as energy! But in order for this to happen, our circadian rhythm needs to be correctly working.

According to the journal Cell, “[t]he link of circadian genes and circadian regulation to health has been recognized in many disease-associated fields, including sleep disorders, diabetes, and cancer.” Because our circadian rhythm relies on NAD+ to trigger cell communication, low NAD+ levels may hinder the sleep-wake cycles and cause further health issues.

2. NAD+ may facilitate in sustaining brain health.

Our memory may not be as sharp as we age; this may be due to a group of proteins called sirtuins. Sirtuins help keep us calm during stressful times; they normalize inflammation, guard our bodies from oxidative stress, and safeguard our DNA. Sirtuins require NAD+ to help turn some genes on or off (some of these genes are linked to aging-affiliated ailments, such as Alzheimer’s). When NAD+ levels are low, this prevents sirtuins from optimally working. More research on this protein family is underway, but it’s been proven that sirtuins need prime NAD+ levels to function properly.

3. Binge drinking may lower your NAD+ levels.

According to the journal Experimental and Molecular Pathology, “NAD+ levels are markedly reduced when blood alcohol levels are high during binge drinking.”

When you excessively drink alcohol, your body may have difficulty with cells transforming food into energy. Low NAD+ levels from alcohol may prevent sirtuins from functioning; your sleep-wake cycle may get disturbed. Low NAD+ levels from binge drinking may also lead to cell cycle arrest, when cells cannot duplicate or divide; in turn, “DNA damage, mutations, apoptosis and tumorigenesis” may result writes Experimental and Molecular Pathology.

For those detoxing from binge drinking, health practitioners may suggest intravenous (IV) therapy. An IV drip that focuses on NAD+ may help replenish low NAD+ levels; this may encourage the cells to detoxify and repair, while helping to reduce withdrawal effects from alcohol.

4. Boosting NAD+ levels may stretch your lifespan.

Remember, NAD+ levels decline as we age; low NAD+ levels may cause aging-related health concerns. Trends in Molecular Medicine has affirmed that neurodegenerative diseases, such as muscle atrophy, Parkinson’s, and cardiovascular diseases, all have the commonality of low NAD+ levels in the body.

But evidence has shown that when you increase your NAD+ levels, this may stall the development of age-related diseases. NAD+, explains the journal Skeletal Muscle, has a huge role “in skeletal muscle development, regeneration, aging, and disease. The vast majority of studies indicate that lower NAD+ levels are deleterious for muscle health and higher NAD+ levels augment muscle health.”

For example, as we grow older, we want to stay limber. But our muscles may not bounce back from injuries due to “mitochondrial dysfunction,” writes Skeletal Muscle. It may be necessary to consider our NAD+ levels because “…NAD+ localization to mitochondria is important for muscle function,” further explains Skeletal Muscle. “Mitochondria are the subcellular compartments that have the highest level of NAD+ in skeletal muscle cells.” So when we boost NAD+ levels for anti-aging purposes, we are helping our cells regenerate mitochondria; in turn, this helps our bodies optimally function as we mature.

It should be noted that NAD+ plays a nutritional part, too. As per Skeletal Muscle, “Periods of muscle development and/or growth may be coordinated with nutrient availability. As NAD+ provides cells with information about nutrient levels, it is likely that NAD+ is involved in regulating these cellular transitions.”

Do You Have Anymore Questions About NAD+?

With the arrival of a New Year, maybe your goal is to improve your anti-aging regime and lifestyle. IV therapy is one method for encouraging your body to increase NAD+ levels; in turn, this treatment may support improved sleep, detoxification, cell health replenishment and lengthen your physical and mental longevity.

At our clinic, Dr. Amauri Caversan, ND, has partnered with Arv Buttar, NP, to offer integrative and functional medicine programs to their patients, including NAD+ IV therapy. The NAD+ IV therapy treatment was created to help assist the body in restoring neuroreceptor function to an optimal level, while helping to diminish cravings for addictive substances; the treatment may also assist in improving memory, mood and energy.

Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has signed goaltender Zane McIntyre to a one-year, two-way contract.

McIntyre, 26, posted a record of 25-14-7 along with two shutouts, a 2.59 GAA and .898 save percentage in 46 games with the Providence Bruins in 2018.19. In 155 career AHL games, all with Providence, the 6-2, 205-pound goaltender has posted a record of 86-43-20 along with 11 shutouts, a .910 save percentage and 2.47 GAA. In 21 Calder Cup Playoff games, he has a record of 8-11-0 along with a .895 save percentage and 2.79 GAA.

A native of Thief River, Minnesota, McIntyre appeared in eight NHL games with Boston during the 2016.17 season. That season, McIntyre also led the AHL in save percentage (.930) while ranking second in GAA (2.03). He was the recipient of the 2015 Mike Richter Award as the top goaltender in Division I college hockey during his time at the University of North Dakota.

McIntyre was drafted by Boston in the sixth round, 165th overall, at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
