In a blender jar, combine coriander seeds, kasoori methi, fennel seeds and jeera seeds. Blend everything to a coarse powder.
In a pan add oil; once the oil is hot add the spices, hing and chopped garlic. Fry all the spices over low flame for 1 minute.
Add besan, red chili powder, amchoor powder, black salt and garam masala. Quickly roast everything for 2 minutes.
Next add the onions, salt and green chili, and cook until the onions are soft.
Add the mashed potatoes, stir and then add the salt. Cook everything until the sugar is well dissolved.
Add the sliced onion, turn off the flame and mix everything until well combined. Set aside. The filling is ready.
In a large kneading plate and maida, ajwain and salt. Pour oil and then mix everything well to a breadcrumbs consistency.
Add little water at a time and start kneading until you form soft dough.
Use water as required; knead for 5-8 minutes. If the dough is sticky then just gather it and start banging it on the kneading plate or punch the dough with your knuckles.
Once done cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.
Start portioning out the filling mixture into 10-12 round balls.
Once the dough is ready make 8-9 large portions out of it.
Take one portion of the dough and using your fingers start flattening the edges, the center has to be thick. About 3 inches in diameter.
Once done place the portioned out filling in the center and then start gathering the sides, press and stick all the sides.
Pinch the excess dough and set that aside. Use them to make the extra kachori.
Then start rolling it between your palms and make it smooth. Follow the same steps to make the remaining kachori.
Once done cover the made kachori with a damp cloth and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes flatten the kachori using you palm and fingers make a concave shape kachori or simply make a slight dent in the center, this step will ensure that your kachoris puff up really well.
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil on high flame. Flash Fry each kachori for 5-8 seconds in batches. Once done set them aside.
Once done add more oil and then turn off the flame. Start frying the kachoris once again, the oil has to be medium hot.
After about one minute of frying turn on the flame and over medium flame start to deep fry them for 15-18 minutes. Keep flipping them until they puff up and are golden brown in color.
Follow the same procedure for the remaining kachori. Remove on a kitchen towel. Set aside.
Serve the hot Pyaz Kachori with some banana, date and tamarind chutney.
Roasting the spices in oil is a key step to bring out the flavours of the spices.
Boiled potatoes acts as a binding agent for the filling.
Sugar balance out the flavours.
The sliced onion in the filling will stand out and the finely chopped onions will bring out the flavours.
Ajwain is very important please do not skip.
The dough has to be soft and elastic.
Kachori size depends on the size of you filling.
If the dough does not stick together while shaping the kachoris, then let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes further. Relaxing the dough is very important.
You need to rest the shaped kachoris for 10 minutes or else if you flatten it immediately then the filling will come out.
Flattening the kachori to a concave shape, helps in the puffing up the kachoris while frying.
Flash frying cooks the exterior completely and the inside stays raw. Depp frying will cok the kachori completely.
Add banana and sugar to the regular date and tamarind chutney. | 2019-04-21T04:32:11 | https://cookingshooking.com/recipe/pyaz-kachori-recipe-perfect-crispy-aloo-pyaj-rajasthani-kachauri-cookingshooking/ |

Believe it or not, new research shows that a popular kitchen spice might work just as well to control symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as commonly prescribed stimulants like Ritalin®.
And I find this to be particularly fascinating on a few levels.
For one, offering lower-cost alternatives to common disorders can be a real game-changer—especially for countries with less money at their disposal to spend on healthcare. And although this likely isn’t something the profit-driven U.S. healthcare system will ever take seriously, it’s a big win for global health.
Secondly, it’s nutritional research. So wherever it ultimately leads, I say bring it on. Especially if it’s something that could help eliminate daily heavy-duty pharmaceuticals for kids.
The spice in question? Saffron (Crocus sativus)—an exotic, fragrant, delicate spice that’s instantly recognizable to any seasoned foodie. It’s used most often to lend flavor to seafood or rice dishes.
But traditional herbal medicine healers have been using saffron for centuries—to treat everything from fighting infections to relaxing muscles. The spice has no small amount of research to back up its many medicinal properties… and this study from the Tehran University of Medical Sciences in Iran is just the latest.
Researchers used a randomized, double-blind pilot trial of 50 kids aged 6 to 17 years, all diagnosed with ADHD.
And why wouldn’t they? While saffron is prohibitively expensive for heavy culinary use, a concentrated capsule would run you about $1.20 per day. Needless to say, that’s far cheaper than any prescription psychiatric drug.
Methylphenidate—or “prescription speed”—is a common ADHD medication with a whole slew of side effects. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the problems with this drug.
The real issue is that when the prescription speed doesn’t work, antidepressants or antipsychotics are usually introduced next. Neither of which I want anyone taking unless it’s absolutely necessary, on account of an even larger list of hideous side effects.
I don’t know about you, but I would rather have my child eating saffron than ruining their brain cells on a psychotropic stimulant medication. A medication for which there have been no long-term studies performed to prove its safety.
Meanwhile, traditional Persian medical texts extensively document the effects of saffron on the brain—and researchers have been exploring saffron’s antidepressant benefits since the year 2000.
Analyses show that the compound crocin is the main active ingredient in saffron. And along with the other components of saffron, crocin helps stabilize levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine, GABA, and N-methyl D-aspartic acid (NMDA) in the brain—improving mood, reducing anxiety, and sharpening focus.
So go ahead and call it “alternative” medicine if you want. That’s exactly what it is. But ADHD treatments don’t get more evidence-based than saffron—which means it’s also just plain good medicine. | 2019-04-21T16:27:25 | https://www.drpescatore.com/the-safe-natural-1-a-day-alternative-to-dangerous-adhd-drugs |

An industrial wind turbine project in southern Prince Edward County is losing its race against the Blandings Turtle.
In a decision released Monday at noon, the Ontario Court of Appeal reversed a lower court ruling regarding a Renewal Energy Approval (REA) of the nine-turbine Ostrander Point industrial wind project.
The Prince Edward County Field Naturalists have been fighting the development since 2008 and Monday’s decision marks the end of their third battle before the courts in a bid to stop the project.
Monday’s decision confirms a 2013 ruling by the Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT), the Blandings Turtles and its habitat will suffer serious and irreversible harm if the project operates as approved.
Following the 2013 ERT ruling, both project developer Gilead Power and the Ministry of Environment filed appeals to the Divisional Court in Toronto arguing the tribunal had made a half-dozen errors in concluding the project would hurt the creatures.
Monday was a happy day for members of the Field Naturalists.
“We’re very pleased. The court has ruled in favour of protecting the environment, which is what we’ve asked for throughout” said Myrna Wood, president of the PEC Field Naturalists.
The Court of Appeal refused to hear Gilead’s proposal for a remedy to protect the turtles, instead referring it back to the ERT.
The Field Naturalists have raised more than $200,000 to help offset court costs since the battle began. Anderson said it’s caught the attention of people across the country.
Field Naturalist lawyer Eric Gillespie said the decision may affect other proposed wind turbine projects. | 2019-04-20T08:17:00 | https://www.intelligencer.ca/2015/04/20/field-naturalists-win-at-ontario-court-of-appeal/wcm/6c7fc3c2-7dbe-ce37-1ddf-d48e3f768735 |
Conor Friedersdorf has a great article over at The Atlantic about the growing backlash against President Obama’s encroachments on civil liberties. Starting off with an impressive list of let-downs for Obama’s support base (“his war on whistleblowers, the humanitarian and strategic costs of his drone war, the illegality of the war he waged in Libya, his use of the state secrets privilege, his defense of Bush-era warrantless wiretapping, and his assertion of the power to kill American citizens accused of terrorism”), he singles out Obama’s about-face on signing the National Defense Authorization Act, which might allow the U.S. military to indefinitely detain American citizens without trial.
When you suspend habeus corpus [sic], which has been a principle dating before even our country -- it's the foundation of Anglo American law, which says very simply, if the government grabs you, then you have the right to at least ask, 'Why was I grabbed?' and say, 'Maybe you've got the wrong person.' The reason you have that safeguard is because we don't always have the right person. We don't always catch the right person.
The entire article is definitely worth a read; check it out here. | 2019-04-21T00:27:57 | https://www.aaiusa.org/obama-attacks-civil-liberties_again |

I finally caving under the pressure to submit Daniel's photo into the Babytalk/Good Morning America cover contest for 2009. Since he was born I've been hearing I need to put him into contests and modeling. I've been taking a strong stance against any of these suggestions. Of course I think my son is adorable and would love for the world to see his ultimate yumminess. But I'm sorta conflicted about pitting babies against each other. After all aren't all babies beautiful in there own way?
Well the answer should be yes. But it seems there's always some study done which supports popular opinion that mixed race babies are the cutest. So can someone tell me why most baby photo contest tend to showoff mono-racial babies?
But wait...why is my little one the only blasian baby in this contest anyway?! I took some time to check thru the photos of the different babies just to see if I could find another biracial child. Now I could be wrong cause some of those kids gave me pause... racial speaking...but for the sake of my argument I'm going to say I think he was the only black and asian child...so far. I can only hope I can talk another mom of a blasian into entering =) .
hey folks, i know i'm behind on my post..but i'm sick have some pity on me. baby and I are currently sniffling and sneezing and a bit achy but otherwise ok. this cold doesn't seem to be taking a tole on us...well on baby anyway..i'm ready to crawl under the covers and sleep the day away.
but baby has other ideas. he currently being social with my niece and cousin who's visiting this week since there's no school. oh joy. not!
After a change of plans, I wondered how I could spend the rest of my day. I was already outside and the day was so beautiful and warm. Daniel was enjoying it and looked so cute in his fisherman hat. A true shame to return home now.
So I thought...since we're already in downtown brooklyn, we should go hangout on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. That would be a great way to destress, try to tan Daniel and of course get a photo.
Korean counter lady: Oh so cute.
As I left the store I laughed at the thought of the Korean counter lady telling her family about the black women who came into the store with a Japanese child trying to say first he was HER baby and then he was black AND korean.
As we rolled onto the promenade I saw a mixed group of women with children. One group of mothers with their kids. The other group of babysitters with their kids. Where would I sit? Who can I be friendly with? Honestly I stood there for a few seconds cause I was struck with the option and what it might led to.
As I stood there looking at them, they sat there looking me waiting for me to choose an alliance. Hmm. I'm wasn't up to dealing with the social politics today so I made my way to an empty bench away from both groups. There I enjoyed the sun, the smell of the sea and Daniels warm baby kisses. What a great end to the day.
As most people know, I love meeting new people and use the internet to feed my social stalking needs. One of my recent social networking led me to Carol or as she's known on the web NYCityMama. We soon became fast friends since we're both moms to biracial sons. But our passion for running around the city seeing sights and tasting testing foods so we can blog about it later...that is what has really bonded us.
One day while tweeting about a mom meetup I was trying to organize Carol mentioned she wanted to be part of the mommy meetup also. After a quick round of DM's and a promise of Dominican lunch when we visit... Carol and I had plans for a playdate.
The day started cloudy with rain storms due in the afternoon. Ugh. Then Daniel started acting up when it came time to get dressed. Which of course made us run late. Since we had to go all the way uptown timing was a problem. Ugh. But I was determined to see Carol and family. I wasn't going to miss my first twitter mommy meetup!
When we finally arrived we were warmly greeted by Carol and her youngest son like we were family coming over and not total internet strangers. Carol even helped me carry my super heavy stroller up the stair since the building doesn't have an elevator. Once up stairs Daniel and I quickly made ourselves very comfortable in Carols home. Carol and her boys...who were very excited to see baby...took turns holding and playing with Daniel while I found the nearest coach to lounge on.
Soon it was time to eat! On the way to the Dominican restaurant we laughed and talked like old friends. Inside Carol was amazing. I don't know how she kept up our conversations while dishing out food for everyone, answering questions from one son and catching food her other decided to spit out. LOL. BTW, the Dominican food was yummy. Even Daniel enjoyed eating a little of everything.
On the way back the boys, riding side by side in the strollers, kept talking to each other and so did the moms. Carol is not afraid to talk about any topic silly or serious. We covered racial preduices within our families, within the mommy community and within ourselves. Even though we're from different racial backgrounds our concerns as mothers and as minority women are the same. It was cool to talk to someone who could understand the things I worry about.
But better then all that...Carol introduced me to TweetDeck to help me manage my tweets better as I enlarge my social twitter domain. * content sigh about meeting another techie* Soon we had to go travel back to brooklyn so we said our goodbyes, gave kisses and promise to have another playdate soon! | 2019-04-18T18:48:05 | http://mixedfamilylife.blogspot.com/2009/04/ |
Anyone can make a Zine!
I use zines to create narratives. I find them an effective way of presenting a series of photographs; it helps me to reflect on the themes I am exploring. I particularly like the freedom of sequencing my photos and how this can suggest new meanings in my work. My advice to anyone making a zine is to be experimental about the materials you choose to make it from. I would recommend “Some Disordered Interior Geometries,” by Francesca Woodman, as great example of an imaginative hand-made book.
I enjoy being able to look at my photographs in a zine, something that I can hold. I find it more engaging than just looking at photos on the screen. When I start a zine I put the photographs into pairs, and then I think about ordering these so that the images flow together. My advice for anyone making a zine is to have more images than you need to start with and to think carefully about your selections. A book that I would recommend that has great sequencing, is ‘Park/Sleep,’ by Robert Frank.
I like the freedom you have when sequencing your photographs in a zine and how this allows you to explore your themes. The sequencing of your photographs gives you a different perspective on your work and helps to develop your ideas. I would recommend the book by Trent Parke “Minutes to Midnight” as a book that has an amazing sequence of photographs.
Do you fancy making your own zine?
If you have a passion for photography and are aged 14-15 you can join us for the day at Long Road Sixth form College for a half-term photography workshop on the 28th May.
In this Artist led workshop, you will learn how to successfully sequence your photos and how to present them in zines! | 2019-04-24T20:25:18 | https://www.longroad.ac.uk/noticeboard/anyone-can-make-a-zine-unbound-zine-workshop-28-may/ |
At church, Reverend Lovejoy orders Bart and Milhouse to clean the pipes of the organ, after Bart pulls a prank by changing the opening hymn to "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly. During a discussion between the two boys, Bart proclaims there is no such thing as a soul and for $5 agrees to sell his to Milhouse in the form of a piece of paper reading "Bart Simpson's soul". Lisa warns Bart that he will regret selling his soul, but he dismisses her fears. Soon, Bart begins to suspect he really did lose his soul after experiencing unusual phenomena, and sets out to retrieve it.
Bart attempts to get his soul back from Milhouse, who refuses to return it for less than $50. After having a nightmare and being taunted by Lisa, Bart again desperately tries to persuade Milhouse to return the paper. However, Milhouse tells Bart that he traded the paper to Comic Book Guy at the Android's Dungeon.
The following morning, Comic Book Guy tells Bart that he no longer has the piece of paper but refuses to reveal to whom he sold it. Bart walks home in the rain, then in his room he prays to God for his soul. Suddenly, a piece of paper with the words "Bart Simpson's soul" floats down from above. Bart discovers that Lisa had purchased the piece of paper. While she explains philosophers' opinions on the human soul, Bart happily eats up the piece of paper.
In the subplot, Moe decides to expand his customer base by turning his tavern into a family restaurant. The stress of running the business by himself ultimately unnerves him and he soon snaps at a little girl. The restaurant is a failure, forcing Moe to revert to a run-down tavern. | 2019-04-20T16:58:34 | http://www.darksimpsons.com/video/12125532/bart-has-no-soul/ |

Including golf in Madeira, Portugal and Huelva in Andalucia, Spain.
These pages are intended to promote the magnificent golf courses of Portugal and Huelva in Spain to those on a golfing holiday.
When playing these courses, you will see some of the most beautiful parts of the country including the Costa Verde and encounter the warmth and friendliness of local people in their own communities.
The Algarve region has many hotels and golf courses. For the other areas we have some suggested golf trips with accommodation.
The discounted rates give cheap golf and can be seen on the individual pages for each golf course and by clicking the links above.
There is a link from these pages to an online booking engine which give quaranteed tee off times.
Below is a sailor's view of the Portuguese Trade Winds which will affect your game of golf, especially on the western coastal links and the western Algarve courses.
The Portuguese trade winds usually blow in the summer months although you can also expect it at other times of the year after a quiet sunny start to the day.
The wind usually commences about midday and will finish whilst your are enjoying the excellent, cheap Portuguese cuisine for your evening meal. The start is delayed in the south and it blows later.
It is a strong wind, and can reach force 7 on the Beaufort scale (near gale) in the late afternoon. It always blows from the north.
It´s effect is mainly felt in coastal areas and, it is strongest when there is a headland with a river valley to the south. It is also felt in the exposed areas in the western Algarve.
For the coastal courses it would seem that if you want to play in calm weather you should go out in the morning. Those preferring the challenge of strong winds should play after lunch.
The Azores high pressure area causing good weather over Portugal causes the wind to circulate clockwise around these systems giving a northerly wind.
In summer, there is often a low pressure system in Spain around which the wind circulates anti-clockwise causing a northerly wind in Portugal.
The hot air over the Sahara is rising and has to be replaced by cool air. The Sahara is to the south of Portugal so the replacement air has to come form the north.
As the Iberian Peninsular heats up during the day, the hot air rises here and cool air is sucked in, particularly along the river valleys. This increases the strength of the winds because the flow has to replace this air as well.
The seafaring skills brought about the Discoveries made by the Potuguese which was followed by the rich colonies of South America and the Far East. The goods were shipped to Portugal for distribution throughout Europe. The winds also meant that vessels from Northern Europe, going to the Americas, traded in Portugal because it was on the fastest route under sail.
Unfortunately, the steam ships signalled the end of the importance of this wind. It is enjoyed by us who sail for pleasure and cursed by the unknowing golfer on the coastal links in the afternoon. | 2019-04-19T00:36:44 | http://www.portugalgolfcourses.com/ |

Elder Zane Joseph Lamping, aged 19, died suddenly on Monday, November 26, 2018 at the South Africa Missionary Training Center in Johannesburg. He was beginning his two year service as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Zane was born August 19,1999 in Overton, Nevada to John Joseph and Jill Tonya Korpi Lamping.
Words cannot adequately describe the lasting impact Zane’s example has left on his family. Zane was an incredibly motivated and accomplished individual during his short time on earth. He graduated from Nevada State High School, allowing him to complete college credits while participating in various extracurricular activities with friends at Moapa Valley High School. He was a state qualifier in Cross Country, Forensics, and two time State Qualifier in Swimming. After years of work, he earned his Eagle Scout Award. Zane loved spicy food, sushi, exploring nature, going shooting, attending movies, jamming out to 80’s music, reading a hefty book, and driving a date around in his Bronco.
Zane was always seeking to excel by pushing boundaries to reach his potential and not settling for the status quo. He was outgoing, adventurous, and always wanted to explore life’s possibilities, especially serving a mission. Zane had been overjoyed at his call to serve a mission and loved the people of South Africa before he even got on the plane. The light of his countenance reflected a sincere and loving heart that has positively impacted many. Zane was a caring ray of sunshine who could create humor in every situation, so much so that no one could stay sad around him for long. He gave his best to live a life of integrity that his Savior would be proud of.
Zane is survived by his parents, John & Jill; his four siblings: Porter, Sadie, Myrrhanda and Truett, all of Moapa Valley; his grandmother, Karen Korpi of Sandy, UT and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and relatives who will greatly miss him. He is preceded in death by his grandparents: Irene Sylvester and William James Lamping and John Robert Korpi. | 2019-04-23T16:22:14 | https://www.virginvalleymortuary.com/notices/Zane-Lamping |
Marriott (MAR) and the hotel lobby American Hospitality & Lodging Association asked the FCC this summer to allow hotels to deploy equipment that prevents people from turning their phones into Wi-Fi hotspots.
At Marriott connection rates start at $14.95 per day. For $19.95, guests get "enhanced high speed Internet" which includes video chatting, downloading large files and streaming video.
In its petition to the FCC, Marriott and the hotel lobby argued that guests can use their smartphones or Mi-Fi devices to launch an attack against a hotel's Wi-Fi network or threaten other guests' privacy (by stealing their credit card data or other personal information). They also said that those gadgets can interfere with the hotel's Wi-Fi, slowing down speeds for other customers.
"If a hotel is powerless to address such activities to ensure the security and reliability of its Wi-Fi network on its premises, both the hotel and its guests would suffer," Marriott said in its filing.
Most of the 21 responses to Marriott's request basically boil down to this: The hotel industry simply wants to keep charging people exorbitant rates for Wi-Fi.
"If a customer arrives at a hotel with her own Mi-Fi device and the hotel interferes with the customer's connection to that personal hotspot, the hotel can effectively force the customer to purchase the hotel's Wi-Fi services to gain access, even though the customer has already paid her mobile operator for personal hotspot capability," said Microsoft (MSFT) in a filing to the FCC opposing Marriott's request.
Google (GOOGL) agreed. In its filing the search giant said blocking access to personal Wi-Fi hotspots "would undermine the public interest."
The wireless industry lobby and other wireless providers have also asked the FCC not to accept Marriott's request. | 2019-04-19T04:20:29 | https://money.cnn.com/2014/12/25/technology/marriott-wifi/index.html |
“See, deep within your brain lies a structure known as the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), which is strongly implicated in weighing fact and emotion, and in viewing your desires through a lens of potential risks. A malfunctioning ACC may play a major part in disorders like schizophrenia, which can involve poor impulse control, whereas an overly active ACC may contribute to excessively harsh self-criticism.
One of the activities that can skew perception of risks and rewards is falling in love.
Rolling dice and flashing lights: How your brain gets addicted to risk, on HuffingtonPost.com.
Donna, I appreciate this article and it resonates very strongly with me, personally. I would say that I once had a very “overly active ACC” which not only contributed to “harsh self-criticism” but a deep, deep shame-core.
I truly and sincerely believe that, through hard work and an understanding of core-issues, how they were developed, WHY they developed the way that they did, and management techniques, people have the capacity to re-wire their thinking processes.
Separating fact from emotion is no easy task but it can be done with consistent and diligent practice. That’s NOT to say that I don’t still run on hypersensitivity, but I’m working on ramping that down, every day. Having lived a lifetime of hypersensitivity, it’s so ingrained that it’s one HECK of a challenge to alter this.
Again, thank you for this article and I’m watching my felines stake out some rodent that found its way into the house, overnight. OMG……strictly an aside and WAY off-topic, but I don’t want to be in the line of fire when this thing (whatever it is!) zips out from under the cabinet!
This is a great article, Donna, and goes along with several books I have read about our brains’ workings. I wish I could come back in 100 years, 200 years and see just what medical science has learned about the anatomy and chemistry of our brains. While when I was first in school we were taught the brain was “formed” and didn’t regenerate from an injury. Now we know that there is what is called the “plastic” quality of the brain to change and adapt to the environment and to injuries, both physically and chemically.
The POWER that this knowledge gives us to TAKE CONTROL over our own minds, emotions, brains and bodies is EXCITING! It’s never too late to begin and never too early to start. | 2019-04-23T15:01:12 | https://lovefraud.com/how-our-brains-become-addicted-to-risk/ |

Total Grower Services recommend the use of a Petrik Soil Technology program along with a modified fertiliser program for banana crops. We have successfully been using this approach in bananas since 2002. Our banana agronomy program is now almost considered conventional in this industry with 40% of growers now using Petrik products.
A biological farming approach results in improvements in many areas. The combination of balanced soil chemistry and applied biology results in improved yields, more consistent quality, better plant health and superior disease resistance.
While we initially adjusted the soil chemistry looking to improve Sigatoka control we did notice a decline in activity of plant parasitic nematodes as well. The same cell wall integrity increases the plants resistance to pathogens attacking the foliage and the roots. While we do not have the same availability of data as for Sigatoka we have no growers using our whole program who are applying any nematicide. Management of the system is robust with most clients utilising monthly soil testing and leaf testing in order to fine tune fertiliser programs.
Fertiliser programs have also reduced the use of nitrogen and phosphorus. In all farms we have reduced nitrogen use by approximately one third while at the same time improving productivity. Phosphorus applications have been eliminated on most farms. Tissue phosphorous levels are now consistently higher under a biology program than they were previously when the farm was under a full phosphorous fertilizer program. This has been documented over time and is supported by university studies. The biological release of potassium, however, is generally much slower as this depends upon the breakdown of the actual clay particles. With a crop such as banana with a high potassium extraction this will never match crop demand. Potassium application requirements have actually increased in many cases as yields have gone up. With potassium it is pretty simple. If you take it away you need to replace it. We do not consider N and P in the same manner, however, as these have much stronger biological relationships and growing also means increased root exudates and a healthier soil which can often increase P and N availability by the actions of the soil biology.
There are further, more widespread, implications to sustainable farming in the North Queensland banana industry particularly with regards to run off to the Great Barrier Reef. Using Petrik products can reduce the environmental impact of farming by reducing the usage of nitrogen, pesticides and fungicides. This will help farmers meet the run off targets set by the government for 2018.
The mainstay of the banana industry has been Digestor. This robust combination of microbes suits the industry as it is sold ready to use and allows flexibility with application timing which is critical in the high rainfall environment.
Setbest foliar sprays support the soil biology. This is used 2-3 times per season to stimulate nutrient uptake in the plants. With even crops such as plant, first ratoon or nurse sucker this product is timed to maximise the nutrient content of the plant just prior to bunch initiation and bunch emergence. Setbest has also proven very effective at assisting the crop to overcome stress such as mite, chill or herbicide damage.
During our agronomic work with bananas we have optimised our custom foliar applications for banana crops. We apply tailor made mixes of products to the bananas depending on the nutritional values of the soil and tissue and our agronomists in-field survey results.
We have been working with Mackay Estates since 2003 providing nutrient, pest, disease and irrigation monitoring. Our recommendations have resulted in a "more nutritionally complete banana, providing a better consumer product".

We had a fantastic time with one of Mostyn’s Circuit partnerships, PIXEL (West Rhyl Young People’s Project), at the gallery yesterday. Myself and digital artist & musician, Dion Hamer, are still processing the images and video taken in the gallery but I wanted to upload Naomi’s great clip taken in the Tube asap (also, this is the first time I’ve made a GIF so please bear with me!).
Biggest hits during the day with were, as ever, the Glitch mini polaroids (James’ favourite), & the giant table drawing. By special request from Luke, this is now rolled-up in my car and awaits delivery to Pixel tonight – everyone wants to keep going with it and completely ‘fill it in” – brilliant! Fran said the whole day “was fun” and everyone agreed, which was THE best feedback after a jam-packed day.
Loads to say about the everything that happened on the visit but that’s going to take a bit of sifting and sorting. In the meantime, here’s some rather nifty footage and stills taken by Naomi, with much, much more to follow! | 2019-04-21T12:47:26 | https://circuit.tate.org.uk/2016/02/pixel-at-mostyn/ |

In a recent press preview event in New York, they unveiled the device, which will launch Friday in AT&T and Verizon stores. The stakeholders see the Hydrogen One as a creative leap beyond the best phones Apple and Samsung have on the market. It will be priced accordingly, at $1,295. From its early days in the market, the Hydrogen One will also represent a synergistic opportunity for WarnerMedia and AT&T, one of the first since the companies’ $81 billion merger closed in June.
The phone’s holographic “4 View” screen is billed as the first of its kind, delivering 3D experiences without glasses and 360-degree sound with or without headphones. With a rugged aluminum body with Kevlar panels and battery life said to be superior to that of the latest iPhone, the RED Hydrogen One is the vision of Jim Jannard. The inventor and entrepreneur founded eyewear giant Oakley and then went on to create RED mainly because, as he explained to the crowd in New York, he wanted better gear.
Movies available at launch will include Warner Bros. titles Ready Player One and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Films from the studio will comprise more than half of the selections at launch, with plans to have half of the projected 110 film titles once the service is up and running.
At a storefront in NoHo, a couple dozen journalists joined executives from the companies for a blue-sky round of demos and remarks about how and why the device came to be. | 2019-04-24T20:35:11 | https://deadline.com/print-article/1202484309/?KeepThis=1 |
Making felt is way too much fun, but uses lots of elbow grease. You have to roll the fibers many times to get them to felt together. Yet, I enjoy creating this textile because you never know exactly what you will get. I love working directly with the fibers themselves to mold and shape them, seeing how the colors melt into each other. These pieces are attached to fabric, machine and hand quilted and mounted on canvas.

Spent the day wandering around a castle-slash-themepark thing. It started as a castle, and stuff got added on. The castle is called… okay actually I’m just not gonna try spelling the name. I’ll get it wrong, guaranteed.
I’m going to cut off the post here- click the read more whatever if you’re willing to load a bunch of pictures n things.
First off, it was a castle.
It was built on top of an ‘entire oak forest’, which was out down in the water to build the foundation. The ‘oak forest’ bit is apparently where the name is from – it means ‘oak forest’ or something similar.
On the grounds were several hedge mazes. Went through a couple of them. The first one was circular, and tucked in the middle was a little garden.
Inside the castle were dead things.
In the attic of the castle were a bunch of old toys. I thought the battleships were cool.
Oh, and this creepy little doll. Legend says that, should the doll be moved, the castle’s foundations will vanish or crumble or something poetic, causing the castle to sink into the lake or crumble or something else poetic.
Wrapping up the castle: actual sword, hanging on the wall. Bas-relief, tucked amidst the paintings – I think it was the builders of the castle. The armory door, all armored and stuff, and the armory now converted to toilets. Make your own joke about that.
The gatehouse had been converted to, of all things, a fashion show. I took a couple pictures of old style dress, plus a guillotine and the spiral stairs that I liked the look of.
… I don’t know. It was in the gift shop.
They had ‘Segway tours’ – not actually a tour of anything. Ride a Segway around a course, get a certificate. There are pictures of me in a knight costume, riding a Segway. You will not see them.
Turns out that the guy who owns the castle (and lives there still) likes collecting old stuff. Such as motorcycles – including that last one, which could use a little TLC.
And a Harley-Davidson, because I know some people who’ll look at this and be disappointed without one.
This was outside the (very dark and hard to photograph) “Dracula’s Crypt” thing. Y’know. Just in case.
Firetruck museum! That is all.
In the attic of the building holding all the motorcycles were a lot of cars. Also this Shell fuel truck/mobile gas station. Sitting underneath a bomb.
There was a cool replica of an old drugstore, and then a room full of creepy dolls. Lots of creepy dolls. Plus one that I was honestly expecting to jump out and murder me.
In my head, I’m referring to this as an ornithopter. I don’t know if that’s the correct term, but I like the sound of it.
A bike where the driver doesn’t interrupt the passenger’s view, and a rather large helicopter.
Some cool cars, including a rather heavy all-electric from 1919. For the ladies.
Finishing up, a slightly disconcerting view into a jet’s missile, and a Bristol double-decker bus. | 2019-04-25T00:58:31 | https://grey280.net/2013/07/castle/ |

The pair, who were shown round by local delivery office manager Rogerio Machado, passed on their own early season’s greeting to the hardworking staff ahead of the peak Christmas period.
The festive season is Royal Mail’s busiest period in the year, as millions of people shop online for gifts as well as sending Christmas cards and parcels.
Kate Forbes MSP said: “It’s always a privilege to visit the posties who spend December delivering our parcels, cards and letters.
“They’re the unsung heroes who are up at the crack of dawn to sort the mail, pack it in their postbags and then visit every home with the day’s post.
“At the beginning of December, work is already busier than normal. With online shopping as it is, it will get much busier before it gets any better. Just after 7am, all the posties had a smile on their face despite the mountain of post and the tight deadlines.
Maree Todd added: “Kate Forbes and I had an early morning visit to the Royal Mail Delivery Office in Dingwall this week.
“It really is a hive of activity at this time of year - busy, but incredibly efficient.
“It was great to get the opportunity say thank you in person to all the posties. They work incredibly hard all year, not least during the Christmas period!”.
The last recommended posting dates for Christmas are Tuesday 18 December for second class, Thursday 20 December for first class, and Saturday 22 December for special delivery. | 2019-04-23T16:50:28 | https://kateforbes.scot/news/highland-msps-thank-local-posties-as-they-gear-up-to-deliver-a-first-class-christmas/ |
Before we discuss piriformis syndrome we have to take a look at the anatomy of the piriformis muscle. The piriformis muscle allows the sciatic nerve to pass through your buttocks and into your leg. The piriformis is a small, flat muscle that spans from your sacrum to the lateral part of your femur bone. This muscle is found in the buttocks and when it contracts it rotates your leg externally. The piriformis muscle is important in lower body movements because it helps stabilize the hip joint and is critical in allowing us to walk and maintain balance. This muscle is used in sports that require lifting and rotational movements of the hips and thighs.
Regardless of which activities aggravated the piriformis muscle, it is important for you to identify those activities and eliminate or restrict them. The first rule of recovery from an irritated spasmed muscle is to stop annoying it – this rule includes the piriformis muscle. Active treatment at home includes stretching the piriformis muscle. One of my favorite stretches is demonstrated in the photo below.
In most cases, sciatic pain is often accompanied by spinal misalignments as well as irritated sacroiliac joints. Chiropractic care will relieve pressure on pinched nerves that are contributing to your symptoms. Treatment with a chiropractor will also relieve back pain and initiate a reflexive relaxation effect on the piriformis muscle that will speed your recovery.

The school year is winding down here in Washington, but for some in southern areas of the country summer break has already started. With all the busyness of the end of the year, I haven’t had a minute to think about our summer and what we might do with it. All I can think about is the joy of not having to make lunches or get up early for making breakfast. But, I also know that summer will fly by and before long, I’ll be looking forward to lunches and schedules once again!
So, what will we do this summer? We are going to make a plan. We’ll kick the break off with our annual chinese food lunch on the last day of school and there we will start some brainstorming.
At our special lunch, we’ll get out a piece of paper and write up a “summer bucket list”. We’ve already been talking about it. What do we want to do? This year I will make them come up with ideas for two categories: things to do and goals.
For the last couple years, one thing we’ve done was take a ride on public transportation to the mall. It surprises me that, of all the things we’ve done, a city bus ride is the first one they remember and want to add to the list.
Some of our goals this summer will be things like hiking 50 miles (not all at one time) and reading some amount of hours and visiting some amount of parks (yet to be determined). It won’t matter if we accomplish all these goals, just that we aim and measure our progress.
Something I’ll add to our list for the summer will be continued learning. I am going to stop by the local teacher store and get some workbooks. It won’t have to be much and we will probably focus on math, but it will be just enough so they don’t lose any ground over the summer.
With my recent homeschool experience I can see both the value of this sort of work and the simplicity of it once it is set up as part of a routine. To keep it interesting and fun, I may work in an incentive for them…at very least, it can be a way for them to earn a little screen time.
Here’s a new concept I want to try out…household skill certification. In any job, you need training to learn how to do it right. My hope is to take my girls through a”training” process to get them lawn certified, bathroom certified, and maybe even dinner certified. If I can make it fun and an honor to be “certified”, perhaps they’ll enjoy participating in these household duties and even earning money, since they’ll be able to do it right. I’ll let you know how that goes!
At very least they’ll have more time to get their chores done during the summer and will need to do so to earn their privileges and fun times. Life isn’t all fun and games, so I suppose summer should include responsibilities. Also, I don’t want to burn myself out, so I will need their help!
In a leadership training class we recently discussed how we tend to spend our time. There are important things and there are urgent things. We spend a lot of our lives doing the urgent things and never getting to the important things.
Important/non-urgent activities are things like planning and preparing. We usually put these things off, but if I stop and take some time to do the important things when there are less “urgent” activities (like delivering forgotten lunches and volunteering at the school), I’ll save myself time and stress later.
Something important I’d like to do over the summer is schedule my Girl Scout meetings out for next year. That means I need to read up on a few badges and put some things on the calendar. It doesn’t have to be too detailed…just enough to rest my brain a little. I will also spend some time doing the same thing for the upcoming year for our church’s children’s ministry and should probably even do the same for this blog! This type of planning doesn’t take long, but you have to make the time to do it…BEFORE it becomes urgent!
Remember, rest and relaxation are in the important category, so I’ll try to get plenty of that in as well. The other thing to consider is getting rid of the non-important/non-urgent things I find myself doing sometimes like messing around on Facebook or getting lost on the web. I want to use my time wisely, so I plan do summer on purpose. Perhaps it can even be a habit that rolls over into the next school year!

One year after the Trump administration declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency, the president on Oct. 24 signed The SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act (H.R. 6), a bipartisan legislative package containing myriad provisions aimed at addressing the opioid epidemic. One of the main objectives of the law is to expand access to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment in Medicaid, most notably with a softening of the so-called IMD exclusion, but it also features numerous provisions that could impact both Medicare and Medicaid plans.
“I’d characterize it as sweeping because it touches so many areas from the FDA to Medicare to Medicaid and back, and yet I think a number of people think it should have gone further,” remarks Stephanie Kennan, a senior vice president at McGuireWoods Consulting in Washington, D.C. “So, while this is sweeping, we’re going to have to see what kind of impact it has once it is all implemented to see if they have to go back” and do more.
The new law contains certain flexibilities related to the IMD exclusion, which refers to a longstanding exception that prevented state Medicaid programs from using federal funds to cover care for patients in mental health and SUD residential treatment facilities with more than 16 beds (i.e., Institutions for Mental Diseases). This exclusion has long been viewed by beneficiary advocates as a major barrier to effective behavioral health care. The primary change is that Section 5052 amends federal Medicaid law by giving state programs the option to cover care in certain IMDs, which may be otherwise not reimbursable for federal funds, for Medicaid beneficiaries aged 21 to 64 with an SUD for fiscal years 2019 to 2023. Through a state plan amendment, states may receive federal reimbursement for up to 30 total days of care in an IMD during a 12-month period for eligible individuals.
As states add IMDs to their programs, plans will have to figure out who will be eligible and how to manage the care, “because not everyone is going to need inpatient treatment and it is only for 30 days,” adds Kennan. “And I think in general whether it’s Medicare or Medicaid, the plans are going to have to do some identifying and managing of patients, but in a little more detail than they had to do it before.” For example, another section allows more providers to furnish medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which could impact both programs.
“When you have greater capacity, you want to make sure that the patients are getting the right kind of care at the right time. So now that there are more options for patients, the plans are going to have to figure out how to manage the patient both in the continuum of care and also get them where they need to be initially,” suggests Kennan.
A provision allowing plans to suspend payments to pharmacies pending investigations of credible allegations of fraud. Plans must report such suspensions to HHS.
A requirement that CMS identify beneficiaries enrolled in Part D with a history of opioid-related overdose and include them in the definition of those potentially at-risk for prescription drug abuse under the Part D Drug Management Program.
A requirement that all Medicare Part D plan sponsors implement a drug management program for at-risk beneficiaries by plan year 2022.
An obligation for the HHS secretary to establish a standard, secure electronic prior authorization system for covered Part D drugs no later than Jan. 1, 2021.
A provision requiring beneficiaries at risk for prescription drug abuse to be eligible for the Medication Therapy Management program beginning Jan. 1, 2021.
A requirement that no later than two years after the date of enactment, the secretary establish a secure web portal allowing for secure communication between HHS, Part D and MA plans, and the Medicare Drug Integrity Contractor regarding certain program integrity activities. Beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2021, plans are required to submit to HHS information on investigations or other actions taken by such plans related to providers who inappropriately prescribe opioids.
New requirements that, for plan year 2021 and beyond, MA and Part D plans provide beneficiaries with information on the risks associated with opioids and coverage of alternatives to treat pain, and perform in-home risk assessments to ensure that beneficiaries are aware of safe disposal tactics for prescription drugs that are controlled substances.
Meanwhile, one “pay-for” that may tick off Medicaid MCOs is a provision incentivizing states to require remittances around the medical loss ratio (MLR). Medicaid Health Plans of America (MHPA) has long taken issue with standardizing MLRs, and an 85% minimum MLR for the purposes of rate setting was included in CMS’s 2016 Medicaid managed care final rule. But CMS — which is close to releasing a rewrite of the rule — at the time acknowledged that it lacks statutory authority to enforce the MLR standard through remittances and said it “encourages” states to impose remittance requirements on plans that fail to meet the state-established MLR and determine the methodology for doing so.
“Right now, states are not required to demand remittances for the plans if they don’t exceed the 85% MLR, and [the law] creates an incentive by giving some enhanced federal matching to states that do require remittances for the plans for any amount of money that exceeds the 85% MLR,” explains Francis Rienzo, vice president of advocacy and government relations and interim CEO of MHPA. The trade group argues that the “strict application of the MLR in Medicaid is counterproductive” because it will discourage plans from innovating to hold down medical costs, he tells AIS Health.
For example, if a plan provides smartphones to diabetic patients to document their nutrition habits for a care manager, a state may consider the smartphone to be an administrative expense and the care manager as a medical expense. “If you’ve got a plan that’s right on the line at the 85% and they want to invest some administrative expenses in driving down medical costs, that’s a huge deterrent to doing that,” suggests Rienzo.

Are you looking for a more inspired and principled way to eat? If you change on some of the unhealthy foods you take and start to eat clean, you will become healthier and feel better. You have probably heard about clean eating, but you might not have an idea of what it involves. Eating clean is all about eating more of the best and healthiest foods that can be found on the market. It also consists of eating less of the not so healthy meals on the shelves.
Eating clean means embracing whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. It means you have to take the required proportions of proteins and fat and cut on refined grains, preservatives, and additives. You have to dish out unhealthy fats and unwanted amounts of salt and sugar. If you are looking forward to getting started in clean heating, here are the underlying principles.
As far as fruits and vegetables are concerned, most people don’t get enough of them. Data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention shows that 76 percent of Americans do not get enough fruits every day. This data also indicates that 87 percent do not eat enough servings of vegetables. If you eat more fruits and vegetables, you can significantly reduce the number of risks associated with chronic diseases. These diseases include high blood pressure, heart diseases, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Fiber that is found in fruits and vegetables helps to keep micronutrients in check and reduce the risks if autoimmune diseases.
The cleanest whole grains are those who have not been processed. Think of these whole grains; Quinoa, rice, and oats. Most people avoid these whole grains and instead go for less healthy options such as wheat, pasts, bread among others. Do not be duped by claims of whole grains that are put up in labels. You will need to take a closer look at the ingredients contained in a packaging. Avoid refined carbs such as pasta, white bread, and sugar.
Yes, you read it right; eat less meat. Research shows that cutting back on meat and working towards becoming a vegan is an important decision you can make. Eating less meat can help you in reducing blood sugar and other risks of heart diseases. Eating more veggies helps in supplying you with the right amounts of fiber that your body needs. If you have to eat meat, choose the lean cuts. You have to cut down on processed meats such as cold cuts, sausages, and bacon.
We are not entirely opposing processed foods because when we cook at home, we are typically processing goods. However, most of the processed foods you can find on the market is processed beyond the recommended levels. Keep a keen eye on anything that has lots of sugar and refined grains as it is among the unhealthiest options. There are clean processed foods such as plain yogurt, whole-wheat pasta, cheese and packaged baby spinach. However, you have to be keen on any other processed foods out there. The main dangers of processed foods are exposure to BPA and other chemicals that are mostly found in plastics. | 2019-04-25T05:45:05 | http://www.mrmargaritadallas.com/2018/07/ |

Sepulcro Dolménico de Son Bauló, is the name of this prehistoric cemetery that was recently found near the holiday resort of Ca’n Picafort.
The site, is an early example of how we still bury our lost ones, by using big stones on each grave. Archaeologists and ethnologists believe, that the big stones here (megaliths), was used as a form of protection, for the dead to not be disturbed, or protected from evil spirits.
This prehistoric cemetery, is believed to have existed during the bronze age, because of the human bones and artifacts found on the site. The municipality of Santa Margalida, has invested more than 100.000 euros in this project.
The cemetery has been fenced, to protect it, as excavations are still going on. The site is located rather strange, behind an industrian area, in the outskirts of town, så don’t be surprised, enjoy the many free parking spaces. | 2019-04-21T03:28:51 | https://accesmallorca.com/sights-see-mallorca/prehistoric-sites/prehistoric-cemetery-son-baulo/ |

Costa Rica has been blessed with amazing natural resources. With a land area of only 51.100 km2 (0.03% of the planet’s surface) and 589.000 km2 of territorial waters, Costa Rica is considered to be one of the 20 countries with greatest biodiversity in the world. Its geographic position, its two coasts and its mountainous system, which provides numerous and varied microclimates, are some of the reasons that explain this natural wealth, both in terms of species and ecosystems. The more than 500,000 species that are found in this small country represent nearly 5% of the total species estimated worldwide.
More than 910 species of birds are part of this amazing richness.

Sometimes when you’re launching a new business, especially online when you’re doing it all alone, it can feel overwhelming not knowing how to find the best path to profits. You have to know how to research niches and products and people and keywords. It’s enough to make anyone throw up their hands in frustration.
There are some easy tips that can help you conduct your research online. Researching niches is a piece of cake. What you’re looking for is competition. Some people will look at competition and feel like there’s no way they could go up against the other sites.
But competition actually means it’s a healthy niche – with room for everyone. If you find a niche that no one’s selling in, then it probably means there’s no interest in – and that should set off warning bells for you.
Look on bookshelves in your local Barnes and Noble and see what non-fiction topics have plenty of resources. Glance at the covers of the women’s magazines at the checkout stand the next time you buy groceries.
You’ll see everything from insomnia to nutrition and more. They’re good about showcasing trendy topics, too – niches that are just now growing big enough for major publications to pick up on them.
News sites give lots of good insight into trends within a niche, too. Most major news sites like FoxNews and CNN have categories for science, technology, health and more. Look at those to stay abreast of what’s happening in your niche.
Also, set up a Google Alert so that you get news and information delivered straight to your inbox whenever something happens – or in a digest version if you want to check it sparingly.
Product research is sometimes a bit more in depth. You first want to go to sites like Ubersuggest and see what kinds of things your audience wants to know about the product. Type in the product name or niche topic and get hundreds of results that help steer you in the right direction.
Then, go to the manufacturer’s website and see what the specs are on the product. You can even download instruction manuals to read more details about it and share that with your visitors.
If it’s something you can find locally, don’t be afraid to go into your store and look at the product and jot down some notes. You can even take some pictures or a video to put on your blog.
Researching people is easy if you trace their social media accounts. Look at their blog and the interaction they have with people (if you’re promoting an info product). Look at their Twitter account, their Google Plus and Facebook, too.
Keyword research is a cinch with free and paid tools that are available to you. Ubersuggest again is a great tool, but you can also invest in paid tools like Market Samurai that show you the competition and profit potential of a niche. | 2019-04-18T13:10:11 | https://www.yenommarketinginc.com/quick-affiliate-marketing-research-tips/ |

Can I be honest? I totally failed at my October goals. For some reason, October seemed more overwhelming at work than ever. It turned Christmas the first week, so I blame it on pregaming Christmas far too early. So, here it goes again. This month I'm actually going to do this thing. If you read my October Goals post, my blogging goals are going to be exactly the same since I didn't accomplish a single one. But, I excitingly made progress on some of my personal goals!
Slow down and breathe>>> I slept in on my days off and got my hair & nails done for a "me" day. It was the perfect way for me to relax and forget about the crazy life I lead. Lilly helps me with this too. My cutie snuggle bug.
Hang with Friends>>> Totally did this! Summer & I hung out countless times and our squad hung out quite a bit. Between late night dinner runs, movie watching, and my birthday party, I'd say I did pretty alright with this goal.
I have been stuck at around seven hundred followers for months. I am so ready to move past that and hit the one thousand mark. In October I gained a whole 10 followers. I know I can do better. If I don't hit 1000 in November, I at least want to see significantly more growth than just 10. Once I hit 1000 followers, I really want to host or be a part of an Instagram giveaway!
After reading some articles on interaction and gaining genuine followers, the more you post, the more followers and interaction you will get. Some of my favorite bloggers post daily, even sometimes twice daily and I always look forward to their posts. This is something I really need to work on. I can go weeks without posting, because honestly I forget.
I am such a slacker. I need to be more self-motivated to post more often in order to increase engagement on the blog. I noticed the more I post, the more consistency I see in my viewers. I want to get in the habit of posting a beauty, fashion, and decor post each once a week, and then throw in the occasional lifestyle post as well.
In October, I started to take OLLY SLEEP gummies. They are amazing! I am so glad that I discovered them. I take them about thirty minutes before bed, which is usually around 11:30pm. Lately, I've been able to settle down and fall asleep by 10pm! It's a miracle. I have never gotten so much sleep in my life! If you struggle with falling asleep within a normal time, check them out. They definitely won't disappoint.
I am SO close to paying it all off, and then boom, I buy something else. But nope! Not this month. I am determined to get rid of it all so that I can focus next on paying off my student loans. Can I get an amen? I'm going to need a miracle straight from God to get rid of those bad boys in a timely manner. I'll start with the credit card debt first and see how that goes.
I had to include those keywords, yummy & edible for a reason you guys. I am seriously one of the worst cooks ever. Somehow I burnt chili in the crockpot the other day. Don't ask me how because we still have no idea how I messed that one up. Usually Chris makes dinner every night unless I'm working late. Those are leftover/fend for yourself/I'm eating cereal kind of nights. I have no idea what I want to attempt to make, but fingers crossed neither of us die from whatever I decide to make!
What are some of your goals for November? Any must-have recipes I should try? Feel free to leave your goals post link so I can read yours as well! | 2019-04-22T04:48:14 | https://www.aclassyfashionista.com/2016/11/november-goals.html |

Vancouver, British Columbia, March 26, 2019 – Pacton Gold Inc. (TSXV: PAC, OTC: PACXF) (the “Company” or “Pacton”) is pleased to announce that the initial field work program at the Tardarinna Gold Project in Pilbara, Western Australia, has commenced.
Exploration is focused on high-grade, at surface, visible gold mineralization in the unusual “Tardarinna” metagabbro that contains a mineralized shear zone along 1 km of known strike. Prior work generated sample grades up to 328 g/t Au, obtained from a trench dug to a depth of 10m and a width of 1m, estimated to contain 400 t grading 66.8 g/t Au. (Source: Government of Western Australia, Minedex Site Code: S0024887.) Prior work also reports eluvial gold showings downslope from the prominent, resistive gold-bearing, stockworked Tardarinna metagabbro.
Large, high-grade identified gold target: Field work is focused on high-grade, shear hosted gold mineralization within a known 10-50 m wide shear zone extending for over 1 km.
Surface gold mineralization: Previous sampling has reported grades of up to 328 g/t Au from surface with visible gold.
Historical workings: Historical eluvial gold mining has occurred downslope of the prominent Tardarinna metagabbro.
Increased target size potential: The entire Tardarinna tenement contains the structurally intense “nose” of a distinct southeast plunging syncline that is dramatically outlined by folded Tardarinna metagabbro, most of which has not been explored.
Upcoming drill program: Mapping and rock chip sampling will be used to help define the extent of gold mineralization and to plan the initial drill program.
Prospecting & Logistics Assessment: Johnathon Campbell is leading a prospecting campaign across Pacton’s West Pilbara tenements to assess the near surface nuggety gold potential and also conducting a logistics assessment across Boodalyerrie, Yandicoogina and Tardarinna.
Pacton has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Tardarinna Gold Project in Pilbara, Western Australia (see news release dated March 1, 2019). The Company will acquire a 100% interest in the Project by issuing 1,250,000 common shares on closing of the transaction, subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Tardarinna Project is located approximately 125 km southwest of Port Hedland, 10 km southwest of Croydon Outcamp and 50 km southeast of Whim Creek, Western Australia (Figure 1).
Pacton’s Tardarinna project is located in an area that once hosted an old Archean terrane that was completely obliterated by granodiorite and granite intrusions. This old basement was covered with sedimentary rocks of the Mallina formation of the De Grey Group, mapped as varying from 2.5 km to 10 km thick. Subsequently, a gabbro sheet-like intrusion up to 700 m thick was intruded along the bedding plane of the Mallina formation near its base. The entire area was then subjected to two significant structural events, resulting in the development of synclines made obvious by the distinctive dark metamorphosed Tardarrina gabbro, which remains over 500 m thick in most places. (Figures 2 & 3). The Tardarrina area was then completely covered by Mount Roe volcaniclastic rocks, subjected to two more minor folding events, and the emplacement of the regional Powereena dolerite dyke. Erosion subsequently exposed the Tardarrina metagabbro, leaving relatively flat-lying Mount Roe formation cover in the south and west portions of Figure 2.
The known gold mineralization in the area, apart from eluvial showings, occurs in the spectacularly folded Tardarinna metagabbro. (Figures 2 & 3). The Tardarinna metagabbro is resistant, and its strike controlled ridges dominate the local topography. The nose of a southeast plunging anticline occurs within the tenement boundary and presents an outstanding exploration target. The Tardarinna metagabbro contains a complicated, dense stockwork of sheared quartz and calcite veins, with many orientations showing obvious gold transportation into the system. The metagabbro is rich in textures, ranging from fine-grained to large grained pegmatitic texture. Gold mineralization consists of free gold, and gold associated with minor amounts of iron, copper, lead and nickel mineralization.
Figure 2. Pacton’s Tardarinna Project (E 47/3745). Local geology showing multi-phase folding of metagabbro gold host rocks with spectacular large scale folding represented by alternating synclines and anticlines. The rocks between the fold arms, elluvial in nature at surface, are mapped as Mallina formation of the De Grey Group, and contain the injected Tardarinna metagabbro. The south and west portions of the area are overlain by the Mount Roe formation of basalt and volcaniclastic rocks. The Powereena dolerite dyke cuts all rocks and, except for erosion, represents the last geological event in the area.

Layers of damp leaves covered the snag. The ragged knot pressed the wool-blanket liner against the hard callous under my right big toe. An abrupt pause delayed the still-hunt, but the instinctive response came too late. The small hole, the one worn in the buffalo-hide moccasin, the one I thought I could get away with for another hunt or two, tore. To make matters worse, the unseen villain stayed hooked and ripped the thin leather even more when I tried to back off.
Once freed, the morning’s grand stalk veered east. Twenty or so paces downhill, at four red oaks that form the corners of a square, two trade-gun lengths on a side, my moccasins stopped. The right moccasin, gaping hole and all, pushed away the leaves. The wool blanket, rolled and bound with the tails of a cowhide carrying strap, dropped from my shoulder and came to rest on the oak’s downhill side.
A scratchy string of clucks followed by an aggressive mix of putts and squawks emanated from the cedar grove, farther to the east. The altercation continued for longer than normal. Not a cluck or a putt came from my side of the big swamp. Fourteen Canada geese, flying in an uneven wedge, passed over the tree tops. Their big wings swished and swooshed, but they never uttered a sound.
Two deer splish-splashed in the swamp, upwind near the muddy spring, still out of sight. In a few moments, the younger doe stepped into the hardwoods; the mother appeared a couple minutes later. I glanced down. A light blue bead glared back from the bottom of a cupped red oak leaf, to the right of my buckskin leggin garter. I scowled, then went back to watching the two deer plod up the hillside. When they crossed the ridge crest, I again glanced at the lost bead.
Not long after, two hushed splashes betrayed another deer’s approach. At the swamp’s edge, shielded just beyond the hill’s last cedar trees, a deer sniffed the tender breeze that caressed the tawny sedge grass. With its head half up, the whitetail looked to the north, then to the south. I thought I glimpsed thin white tines.
I moved my hips to the right, pivoting on the blanket roll. I raised my left knee and rested the Northwest gun on the dark-blue wool leggin. The young buck emerged between the same two cedar trees as the first pair. He sported tall spikes, a good foot long with graceful, matching curves. His well-toned body displayed good health, but he needed another year before becoming a prime candidate for the family dinner table.
The spike turned north, choosing the lower trail that meandered below my lair. As he drew closer, I spied a tiny brow tine at the base of his left spike. Mid-ear on the right, a palm-sized brown leaf was impaled on that spike. I glanced down. The pale blue bead was gone. “Lost to eternity,” I mouthed without making a sound.
That December deer hunt, in the Year of our Lord, 1798, was not the first time I spotted a lost blue bead on the leaves.
My longtime persona, the North West Company post hunter, traversed the forest for 25 years with buckskin strips for leggin garters, cut in haste as a “temporary fix.” After I decided to create a new alter ego, that of a returned native captive who could not give up his Ojibwe teachings, I made a conscious choice to utilize the same buckskin leggins and garters while I researched the proper attire for this woodland friend.
The quest kept returning to a single surviving artifact, a garter preserved by Major Andrew Foster, a British officer whose tour of duty included the Lower Great Lakes in the early 1790s. With the Foster garter as a guide, I made some design decisions and set about fabricating a set of leggin ties that I thought would fit the circumstance of a returned captive. I opted not to use the quillwork panels, but I did copy the single line of pale blue beading on each edge of the garter. I used two-ply, waxed linen thread to secure the 8/0 beads.
As the garters neared completion, I chose not to include the deer hair cones, because I didn’t feel they would hold up to heavy brush hunting. I thought I would see how the garters fared first, reasoning I could always add that adornment later.
In addition, I did not artificially age the finished garters, other than working in a light coat of bear grease with dirty hands. I believe an accoutrement should display honest wear and tear that is a result of actual hunting experiences, but I also recognize that a persona’s material possessions should show a “progression of age and use,” from fresh-made to thread-bare. My lower legs take quite a beating, so acquiring normal wear and tear did not necessitate further aging.
After a couple of winter rabbit hunts, I realized the Foster/Ojibwe style garters did not cut into my legs like the thong leggin ties did—plus they were a lot easier to undo at the end of a day in the woods. Melted snow, rain-soaked sedge grass and then spring mud wet them, allowing the buckskin to take a shape that fit my upper calves.
A week’s worth of life, measured in 18th-century days, brought the first failure: one of the 2-ply linen threads that secured the pale-blue beads broke. I made the discovery sitting cross-legged while scouting wild turkeys. The thread arched out from the garter with the bead hanging off to one side; two other beads were missing. I had a good idea where the garter got snagged that morning; I was bummed.
My research convinced me that securing the beads with linen thread was a viable choice, consistent with the period and locale. I was pretty upset with the misfortune, but soon accepted the break as another learning experience in the wilderness classroom. By the start of small game season in the fall, other threads had broken and the garters lost forty or so beads.
The leggin garters after a hard year of use.
The leggin garters look trail-worn, which is the impression we all seek. The buckskin shows mottled staining and discoloration, yet functions as expected. The disrupted bead lines and straggling threads contribute the most to the overall well-used impression, and that got me wondering how the garters might fare if they had been found among Foster’s trophies. Would a museum curator consider conserving them and eventually displaying them, or would they be assigned a number and entombed in a drawer?
And what about “conserving” them now? In the summer, with two broken threads and maybe fifteen or so beads missing, I considered ripping the bead lines out and redoing them with stouter thread or sinew. What fueled this whim was how “nice” the garters looked when they were new.
But one of the key goals of traditional black powder hunting is to experience “What was it really like…?” This is not an historical beauty contest, but rather an honest search for truth and knowledge that results in a greater understanding of what constitutes authenticity and accuracy. And this failure, if it is a failure, is but another step towards that goal.
A reasonable question is at what point did a hunter hero stop and make a repair? In hindsight, the hole in the buffalo-hide moccasin sole should have been repaired before it tore further, but that was not the only hole in a sole that was so thin it could not withstand pulling a thread tight.
Would a hungry hunter pursuing a family’s next meal stop to sew beads back on a leggin garter that is functioning properly? I think not, I did not; so I will let them age naturally—and learn from what I observe.
Along that same thought line, the deer hair cones on my shot bag and split pouch show no wear whatsoever, much to my surprise. The original idea was to see how the garters worked and maybe add the deer hair cones at a later date. Perhaps now is the right time to add to a fruitful classroom lesson? | 2019-04-25T02:22:14 | https://traditionalblackpowderhunting.com/the-basics/progression-of-age-and-use/deerskin-leggin-garter-wear-tear/ |

Design one or more cards that meet the design constraint described below to win prizes! You may submit multiple entries, but please be considerate of your fellow players and don't go too overboard. In the case of multiple entries, you will still receive one prize at most.
Since the events "(f)Easter" and "April Fool's Day" fall on the same day this year please design a card that works together with any of the Feast of Abundance Cards and embodies April fool's day.
Don't forget to name the card you are supporting with your card.
there are very few Feast of Abundance cards and this is open enough that you really shouldn't need these. Don't be afraid to revisit cards already picked up by other competitors to add your own spin to them. Should the next one get revealed while this contest is running (i hope so) you can use that one, too.
1: Conciseness - One of the main reasons many of the cards didn't take in the "It's your Card" Thread - try to be concise - during the Dev Stream they talked about "less than 7 lines of text on cards"
The post was edited 1 time, last by SlayerStronghold: added prizes ( Mar 27th 2018, 12:40pm ).
Deploy - Five random cards in opposing champion's deck or hand secretly get "When you play this, interrupt it. Summon a Llama."
"The boonberries have slightly different traditions for the feast of abundance"
Your Prankster Plums instead have "When you play this, interrupt it. Summon a Llama. Then, create a Prankster Plums and put it in the opposing champion's hand."
Your Prankster Plums have 'when this is discarded or buried, play it for free'.
Ability: Escalate: Conscript 1 card that was released during a holiday event.
Equipment for Feet: Artificial Nature - Add 10 shards to your deck when an Egg of Growth's effect activates with no shards in your deck after the first time you play Hodgepodge Effort.
Equipment for Head: Replant Calculations - Add all Symeon's Bounties in your crypt and void to your deck when you play a Fruit of Symeon after the first time you play Hodgepodge Effort.
Deploy: Create 4 EggFruit and put them into your deck.
: Create 2 EggFruit and put them into your deck.
When this enters your hand, play this for free.
Deploy: This transforms into a Snack Pack, Snack Attack, or Attack Pack at random.
You gain 2 health for each EggFruit played this game.
Deal 1 damage to target troop or champion for each EggFruit played this game.
Deploy: This gets +1 /+1 for each EggFruit played this game.
For Attack Pack, I'm drawing inspiration from the egg with claws and eyes in a basket as seen on the 2017 Feast of Abundance sleeve.
Your EggFruits instead have "Deploy: This transforms into two of the following at random: Snack Pack, Snack Attack, or Attack Pack."
"Deploy: Create 8 EggFruit and put them into your deck. Draw a card.
: Create 4 EggFruit and put them into your deck. Draw a card."
Edit: Whoops. Design constraint of working with an existing Feast of Abundance Card.
Replace 2 Fruit of Symeon in your deck with Present.
"How did the fruit have a robot in it?"

Shall you be a fool ?
Escalation - Put 1 random Feaster curse into the opposing champion deck and then bury 1 card from opposing champion deck.
"Fool or not a fool ?, we shall see!"
When this enters your hand or crypt, put the top card of your deck into that zone. Void this.
Summon a copy of every Feaster egg control by each opposing champion under that champion's control. If an opposing champion don't have any Feaster egg under their control, summon 2 random Feaster egg under that champion's control.
Create a copy for each Fruit of Symeon in the opposing champion deck and put them into their deck. If there is no Fruit of Symeon in the opposing champion deck, create 2 Fruit of Symeon and put them into their deck.
When this enters your crypt, lose 1 health and put the top card of your deck into that zone. Void this.
Your Shall you be a fool ? instead have: Escalation - Put 2 random fool's curse into the enemy deck and then bury 2 card from opposing champion deck.
Double all numerical value of each Feaster curse.
The card can support itself or boost both the "Egg Hunt" or "Symeon's Bounty" Feaster card.
Feaster curse doesn't escalate, their number are bold only to show which value are double by the equipment.

: A random opposing troop secretly gets "When this exhausts, revert and transform it into a Dingler. Revert it again at the start of your turn."
This is generally a playful and foolish card, but it plays particularly well with Blindside as the Prankster exhausts at quick speed and is good with repeated use.
X times: A random opposing troop battles a random troop you control.
This card is fun and interesting, but bonkers when paired with the new Beast of Abundance. The X let's you Rowdy it up as you wish. The battles make the Beast useful before he's had enough to eat.

While the Vennen have been moving away from putting Eggs into decks, seeing my deck get filled with spiderling eggs always filled me with dread.
So here's a card that lets you make a fool of Spiderling decks (and really any other opponent that is putting banes into your deck). In addition, being quick means you can respond to an instance of an opponent putting cards into your deck. And if your opponent isn't cooperating by creating cards, you can always do so yourself, such as with Symeon's Bounty, the Cleric champion's ability, etc. Lastly, the Fingerpainters equipment works particularly well with Egg Hunt finally giving you the cards to play with all of those wild shards you are getting.
Whenever a card is created and put into your deck, transform the created card into a random Feaster Egg.
"Silly Vennen. Their eggs are are so gross and icky. They really should try painting them with rainbows."
Your Egg Painters have "Deploy - Transform each bane in your deck into a random Feaster Egg."
When a Feaster Egg enters play, summon a Fool's Egg for each opposing champion.
When you play a Fruit of Symeon, put between 1 and 3 Fool's Eggs in each opposing champion's deck.
When this enters your hand, play it for free.
Draw 1-3 cards and transform all drawn cards into random cards of a different shard.
Lose 1 Charge and 1 Temporary Resource.
Lose 1-3 Health. For each health you lose this way, discard a card at random.
Obviously, this synergizes with Symeon's Bounty and Egg Hunt.
Since I didn't actually properly read the design constraint for my first entry, let's make a better one.
Create five 'Planted Evidence' in each opposing champion's deck.
Exhaust this -> Choose one at random: A random opposing troop gets -1/-1 and gets stunned, or create 3 feaster eggs and put them into your deck, or summon a random feaster egg.
This one supports Egg Hunt, and is based off the alternate artwork of Sylvan Springs, where I think Timophy can be seen stealing someone's underwear. The thematic idea is that, as a prank, he plants the evidence with the opposing champion, victim finds out, and starts tossing eggs with minimal accuracy!

Deploy - Summon 2 Cheery Songbird.
All Cheery Songbird you control gain .
At the start of your turn, one random Cheery Songbird you control gains until the end of the turn.
"Welcome to the Birdemic ya bird brains!"
Your Bag O' Birds instead have, "Deploy - Summon 3 Cheery Songbird."
Your Bag O' Birds gain, " : When a Cheery Songbird deals combat damage to an opposing champion, you may sacrifice this constant to create 2 Bag O' Birds and put them into your hand.
This constant focuses on using Cheery Songbirds for offensive play. The buff on a buffed songbird will trigger the effects of the other songbirds. Equipping the Birdseed Maracas add in a lethal tempo to your birds, gradually increasing the size of their party. Also, Tealwing is best bird husbando.
Edit: Edited the theme to be around the (bad) Birdemic movie for a comedy holiday.

Transform target Feaster Egg you control into a random Trickster Egg and put it under target opponent champion's control.
"Happy Feaster Fool's Day! Hehehehe...."
Invisible Prankster's Cloak(Chest): Your Feaster Tricksters instead have: Transform up to 3 Feaster Eggs.
Balloon "10 Tons" Hammer(Weapon): Your Feaster Tricksters have : When a Feaster Egg enters play under your control, ready this.
At the start of your turn sacrifise this. Stun a random troop you control.
At the start of your turn sacrifice this.Transform a random troop you control into a Dingler. It gets "At the start of your turn, revert this."
At the start of your turn sacrifice this. Add 3 Burning Counters yourself.
At the start of your turn sacrifice this. Discard a random card.
At the end of every turn, move each Fruit of Symeon and Symeon's Bounty in your deck up five spaces. Then, look at the top three cards of your deck. Put a revealed Fruit of Symeon or Symeon's Bounty into your hand.
"The Shin'hare offered spoils from their Spring harvest to Oinkers in the form of wine and fruit, then slaughtered fattened swine to use as the centerpiece for their Feast of Abundance."
Unbuckeled Belt (Trinket) (Rare)- When you play Fruit of Symeon, put it back into your deck instead of voiding it.
Second Helping (Head) (Legendary)- When you play Fruit of Symeon, if you already played Fruit of Symeon this turn, add a dazed counter to the opposing champion.
Questions about entries and one day before the end of the contest warning. YOU can still add entries!
if this wasn't an action with a deploy trigger this would work well together with Symeon's Bounty's additional draws.
slightly over-designed and each of them is on the limit of the conciseness restraint. Otherwise fine.
your generated card is slightly too wordy, i would need to deduct points for not being concise.
How does this support Egg Hunt? All i see is a troop that wants to use it's ability.
Any card i have not mentioned in this post is within the design constraints.
I will start judging in 24h 9min from this post.
It's equally wordy to the cards its based off of.
Fruit of Symeon, for example, has virtually identical text(slightly different effects but the same concept), except it is an action so it doesn't come into play. I suppose I could make these actions, but that removes the tie to the feaster eggs.
I could've split it into 3 different fool's eggs, but that felt unnecessary for the card.
Being concise is one of the judging criteria.
But again. 5 lines of text, to provide an opposite component to the five lines of text on the card it's mirroring.
It would make the card fit less if I were to remove text from it. I'm not denying it's a large card, but if you have a card that is based off of a large card that is trying to provide almost a 'mirror' to the large card... it makes sense for it to be a large card. And it doesn't cross the '7 lines of text' threshold that is the soft limit for a Hex card.
I'm just explaining WHY I did it the way I did, I can't change the way you judge it, but I'm not going to ruin the thematics or effectiveness of the card simply to make it concise. If you choose to hold that against me, it's your contest and that's completely fair.

This entry is no longer relevant, as I made a new one that better fits the design constraint.
That said, the Prankster Plums play an April Fool's prank on the enemy champion by boobytrapping their cards. That's the April Fool's link.
When this exhausts for the first time each turn, ready Debon'hare and each troop that exhausted at the same time.
I don't like cards that are too narrow, so ideally, I've worded this ability so that it would trigger on a normal attack.
- Lovers' link (trinket)If exactly one other troop exhausts when Debon'hare exhausts, summon a Battle Hopper.
- "Best Dad" mug (weapon)If exactly two other troops exhaust when Debon'hare exhausts, those troops and Debon'hare all get +1/+1.
1: concise - The created card is too wordy, otherwise fine.
2: Theme: April Fool's - A fowl that is a fool, i guess.
2: Theme: April Fool's - barely. Grifting is not something that happens on this day more often than usual... unless you meant to use graft, in which case it would have failed the theme.
3: Synergy - would work nicely to remove the surplus fruits before decking you.
2: Theme: April Fool's - what exactly is a prank-fest? at least it has prank in the name.
3: Synergy - Best synergy. not only does it work extremely well, it also isn't useless on it's own.
2: Theme: April Fool's - an evil prank to play on someone, but then - they are shin'hare.
3: Synergy - Works extremely well with Symeon's bounty.
2: Theme: April Fool's - He pranks people by turning them into dinglers.
3: Synergy - yes, readying after exhaust effects is useful. Could be improved, though.
2: Theme: April Fool's - putting birds into bags definitely fits.

In the following test case the join type of the User model isn't promoted (to a LEFT OUTER JOIN) as it should be when using a ValuesQuerySet. This results in nothing being returned when the Item.person ForeignKey is null.
Three (or more) models deep linked by ForeignKey's.
The first model's (Item) ForeignKey should allow null values.
The query should reference the second model (Person), but not the third (User), before conversion to a ValuesQuerySet.
The values list (that is passed to ValueQuerySet) should reference a field in the third model (User).
The following snippet shows what happens currently. Note that the Q objects aren't required, they are just for satisfying point 3 above.
When the filter is constructed, a query.alias_map entry is created for the Person model. It is NULLABLE so the join type is set to LOUTER which is correct.
During the conversion to a ValuesQuerySet, promote_alias_chain is called on the fields from the User model (eg. person__user__first_name or person__user__last_name).
Because Person had been previously promoted promote_alias returns False which causes promote_alias_chain to not promote the User model.
promote_alias should return True if it promotes the join or if the join has previously been promoted, so that promote_alias_chain can promote the remainder of the chain correctly.
The included diff provides a simple fix to promote_alias and a test case that tests the fix.

Tests need to be updated to be unittests. Preferably, they should also be integrated into an existing test app, rather than starting a whole new test app. The regressiontest/queries test app would seem appropriate.
This bug still exists. The patch works fine for me, any reason there's been no activity on this for 9 months?

About a year ago, my father surprised me with a wristwatch that I never knew existed, even though it had been in our family for generations. Now you may be thinking it's a little odd that it took this long for me to find out about this watch, given my very pronounced interest in wristwatches (not to mention my career choice). And it was. But I'm guessing my father, who inherited it when he was a young boy, wanted to find the right time to share it, and I'm very glad he did. Suffice it to say, even if this isn't a watch that would seem precious to most, it's exactly that to me.
It was the news of my engagement to my now wife that led to my discovery of a red leather-bound box in which sat a beautiful gold watch. I was immediately anxious to find out if it still worked. I turned the crown a few times…and the seconds hand dutifully began its sweep around the dial. The dial had already been redone, with no signature on the all-white expanse, leaving no obvious trace of the watch's origins. Who made it, I wondered? But during that first encounter I decided to leave it at that, since the evening's celebrations were underway.
My grandfather's gold watch – which I only recently found out exists at all.
I picked it up again last September, a few days before my wedding, curious to find out what was hidden beneath the caseback. Armed with a knife and a loupe, I popped the watch open to discover a 17-jewel movement signed KULM, which brought me back down to earth. Searching for signs of the movement maker, I found a small shield with the letters "A" and "S" engraved inside. A little research revealed this was a logo adopted in 1939 by A. Schild S.A, one of Switzerland’s most productive movement manufacturers.
I had to pop the back off this watch to try to discover its origins.
The logo of A. Schild S.A, one of the early 20th century's most prolific movement makers.
The company made a huge chunk of the movements found inside inexpensive three-handers like this KULM, and A. Schild would go on to merge with ETA in 1979. Between 1940 and 1979 though, A. Schild supplied hundreds of different companies, the most prestigious being Jaeger-LeCoultre. My grandfather’s watch was clearly not of that ilk, but the pedigree of the movement explained why it worked so well after so many years left untouched.
Another look at the simple movement in my grandfather's watch.
As for KULM, information was a littler harder to come by. It is one of the very many affordable watchmakers that popped-up thanks to ébauche suppliers only to disappear when quartz technology became available. But I found a small entry in a journal of the Swiss Horology Federation dated Febuary 6, 1926, which locates its headquarters in Bienne. According to the journal, the company was actually registered as Guanillon & Cie, but watches were traded under the name KULM Watch Company, and I suspect this particular model was sold to the French market because of its hallmarks.
On the wrist, this is a simple old-school dress watch.
I'd be lying if I told you part of me wasn't hoping for a more interesting conclusion. And yet, the watch still holds some merit as an example of the widespread use of ébauche movements during the mid-20th century. It belongs to one of the most transformative developments in the Swiss watchmaking industry, before the introduction of quartz, and the return of (more expensive) mechanical movements.
For other, more sentimental reasons it’s still pretty damn special to me too. | 2019-04-21T18:49:37 | https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/my-grandfathers-gold-wristwatch-swiss |

Travel back in time with our Retro Service and get a view of how your current customers looked in the past. You choose which parameters to use in the analysis such as the product types to include and the historical time period you wish to go back to, and we will calculate what the Creditinfo Predictor (CIP) scores and risk grades were as of that time. We will also show you how your results compared with the rest of the market.
If you are considering subscribing to the CIP score from the credit bureau, this is an opportunity to “try before you buy”. You will see whether having access to the bureau’s credit score would have helped you identify high risk customers. Find out how your financial performance would have improved if you had rejected half of those high risk applications which were actually accepted.
If you are using your own internally produced credit scores, you can test it against the CIP score to validate the strength of your own models. You may also uncover gaps where there is a possibility to improve your internal scoring. Is there any type of customer that is difficult to accurately evaluate internally?
In some cases, where the necessary data is available, the Retro service can also be used to help you find unusual patterns in your manual underwriting processes. Such situations are often the result of internal fraud. | 2019-04-25T23:49:19 | https://tz.creditinfo.com/decision-analytics/retro-score-cards/ |
The Umibōzu is a Japanese Yokai, or spirit. The name translates to English as "Sea Monk." It is supposedly gray colored, with a large, bald head resembling that of a Buddhist Monk, with multiple serpentine limbs. Although there are many representations of this creature in the form of an octopus or squid (mainly due to the "serpentine limbs,") the actual legends of the Umibōzu read more like contemporary reports of "Shadow People." | 2019-04-20T20:37:33 | http://www.freaksmutantsandmonsters.com/2009/10/umibozu.html |

Recently I had a chance to be in an audience for a seminar organized by Osage University Partner (OUP) and Columbia Technology Ventures on how VC’s evaluate startup CEOs given by OUP’s Managing Partner, Mark Singer. Not only the talk was fascinating for wannabe entrepreneurs and people like me who are in the business of creating products beneficial to the society from academic early stage technology, I realized the message has enormous implications for those who are trying to transition from academia to either academic jobs or non academic jobs. This video kindly provided by OUP has lessons for everyone of us. | 2019-04-22T04:43:16 | http://www.stempeers.org/how-vcs-evaluate-startup-ceos-lessons-for-the-job-seekers/ |
This week, I am away from home (with Husband, of course) staying at a hotel in Chester, very close to the Welsh border. This is an ideal place from which I can visit my family in Lancashire and Wales as well as revisiting some of the wonderful castles along the North Wales coast and the Roman and medieval sites around the city of Chester itself.
Oddly enough, our first visit was to somewhere quite unplanned. Whilst visiting my aunt and uncle at Penrhyn (in the county of Conwy) along the coast of North Wales, we decided to take a trip to Bodnant Gardens, nestling in the foothills of Snowdonia, just five miles inland from their house.
Bodnant has been described as one of the world’s most “magical” gardens. The scenery is quite dramatic and there are historic plant collections and awesome trees. Every season presents wonderful species and the changing colours are spectacular.
A mill was built down in the Dell (valley) to serve the needs of the estate, but it was not until the Hall was bought by industrialist Henry Pochin in 1874, that the gardens began to really take shape. It was he who planted the giant conifers in the Dell, created the famous Laburnum Arch and built the Poem Mausoleum as a resting place for himself and his family.
Since Pochin’s time the Gardens have considerably grown and new species continuously introduced. Plants were brought back by 19th and early 20th century explorers, including towering American redwoods and gorgeous Himalayan primulas, poppies and lilies.
The Gardens were first opened up to the public by Pochin’s daughter Laura, following her father’s death in 1895. On Laura’s death, management of the gardens passed to her son, Henry McLaren and stayed within that family until 1949 when they were handed over to The National Trust.
It’s a beautiful place, and when I went the weather was spectacular.
Thank you, Ali! i would love to see your pictures. I’m so jealous of my aunt and uncle who live really close to the place. They can’t get enough of it, either. They reel off the Latin names for everything, too. Show offs!
Love all the photos…the flowers are really stunning and I like the Laburnam Arch. Thank you for sharing these. Looking forward to seeing the castles.
Thank you, Jessie. Bodnant was a lovely start to our week. My aunt and uncle visit so often as it’s less than five miles from where they live. I’ve been four times now, but this was the first time I’ve seen the laburnam in full flower. It was either not quite open or just finished on our previous visits!
Oh, I’d love to visit those gardens! It looks so lovely! All those flowers and the green grass. What a nice photo of you and your husband, too 🙂 Love the idea of it being a medieval garden. I’ve heard that some flowers can last for half a century, even (orchids, at least)… And so my imagination immediately wanders to a scene where some of the flowers in that garden might be centuries old; the originals brought back by the explorers themselves (not just descendants). I know plants (probably) don’t last that long, but hey, I can still daydream! Wouldn’t it be amazing to stroll along in a garden with flowers that old? 🙂 In any case, the fact that everything has been kept close to the original design must certainly add some historic atmosphere. Loved this post!
What a beautiful and interesting place, Millie! Great pictures, too!
This was a wonderful visit to the beautiful gardens and Awesome Hall. Thanks for the tour!
Your uncle and aunt are really lucky to have been staying near this garden. The garden looks spectacular from the post that you’ve written and pictures shown. I’m sure you would have had a wonderful time there. The Laburnam Arch looks very romantic and beautiful.
O my God! beautiful. I think of peace and serenity as I look through your pictures and wish desperately that teleportation was real and at my disposal. you must have had/having a swell time on your trip. I do hope I get to see these little heaven(s) on earth sprinkled among all the chaos and darkness.
WOW!!! I love the place. Thank you for the pictures Millie. | 2019-04-20T00:24:37 | https://milliethom.com/2015/06/19/beautiful-bodnant/ |

The cure for what has been ailing me (homesickness, friendship distress, caffeine withdrawal, and general malaise) came this past week in the form of a seven- day visit from my cousin G. If you don’t have a cousin like her, then I give you permission to go berate your aunts and uncles right this minute for not producing one for you. Such a person really should be an unalienable right mentioned in the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
But mostly, we just talked. Yesterday I woke up and realized she wasn’t still in residence, and I felt decidedly ho-hum about life in her absence. It was good to have a paisano in the house.
Though I acquired two half-brothers as a young adult (and am now reaping the benefits of aunthood), I was an only child for the whole of my childhood. I was not one of those lonely, pitiful characters in literature like Jane Eyre who has no family, but instead grew up a few miles from my cousins on my mother’s side, which meant weekends and summers in the country with them, avoiding cow pats as we played in the fields, demanding one of the endless Eskimo Pies my grandmother kept in the freezer, rubbing my allergy-inclined face onto the fur of barn kittens, and riding a garden tractor/go-cart/Radio Flyer train around the barnyard while dressed in our best parade finery (which mostly involved fancy hats and Nerf balls stuck under our shirts, Dolly Parton style). From these cousins, I learned a little of the positive side of what it might be like to have siblings (the camaraderie! the similar family experience! the Eskimo Pies!) with only a hint of the dark side (the arguments! parentally-forced sharing! the hair pulling!) Often now that I’m in Seattle and feeling a longing for home, it isn’t lost on me that I’m not missing home so much as I’m missing 1974 in a tire swing at my grandparents’ house, waiting on the cousins to arrive and the fun to begin.
G was not one of these cousins. Since my parents divorced when I was young and since all of my cousins on Dad’s side lived in different parts of Indiana, I often felt less connected. I went through a period of time when I wasn’t even sure if I belonged anymore, like somehow those cousins with their intact families were more legitimate than I was.
Once a year or so, we’d all get together and it would take awhile for me to feel satisfactorily reacquainted with them. Because I was the baby girl, I was often in awe of my older cousins, studying how they dressed, what they did, what they read and listened to, and then attempted to incorporate it all into my life. From these paternal cousins, I developed an affection for horror movies (for a time), miniature golf, Shakespeare and John Irving novels, and, randomly, the Carpenters and the Beach Boys even though we were really too young for this to be “our” music. I loved these cousins, but they were more like exotic, affectionate strangers than the closer, more sibling-like connection I had with my cousins back home in Wayne County.
I can’t pinpoint when the magic happened on my dad’s side of the family. It was after we were all out of college but before the family funerals started adding up. For me, it was as if a switch was flipped and suddenly I realized how much I genuinely liked these cousins. We didn’t grow up together. Our lives had evolved differently. And yet, we were somehow connected. I’m convinced that if I’d never met them and then bumped into them at a cocktail party, I would have gravitated to all of them intuitively. They’re smart, well read, wickedly funny and somehow. . . familiar.
G’s familiarity is still a source of wonder to me. Six years separate us and our life experiences have been very different, yet we get each other. One of us might say, “I think I’m weird because I …” and before the sentence can be finished, the other is nodding her head and admitting to doing or thinking the same thing. Maybe it’s because we’re both Capricorns or share a bunch of similar letters on the Myers-Briggs Temperament Indicator. Maybe it’s just genetics. I don’t know. All I do know, is the day of my father’s funeral when I was sitting on the front “immediate family only” pew feeling very alone, I looked behind at G with what must have been a face of misery, and she nodded, knowing intuitively what I needed, and without saying a word, skooched herself out of the crowded row she was in, and came to sit beside me, leaning in and making the whole rotten experience bearable. Who doesn’t feel lucky to have that in her life? Could a sister have offered me more than that?
So a few years later when Z and I got married, it was only natural that I’d want G, who had been there on the worst day, to be my “best woman” on the best day. She even patiently gave in to my desire that she be gussied up like a Disney princess, along with me, never mind our middle-agedness and how we should have been wearing something more subdued and matronly, like grey pantsuits, instead of sparkle and shine.
When someone tells me they plan to have only one child, I never feel badly for that kid. The only downfall I can remember to my “only” status was the assumption by people that an only child was naturally bratty and spoiled. (It’s worth noting that these people making these claims always had multiple ill-behaved children.) Instead, I loved being just me. Loved the pockets of solitude and being treated like a little adult instead of one of the wildings in Lord of the Flies.
But maybe I can say I loved being an only child simply because I was rich with cousins. A cousin-less life sounds much less enticing to me.
Now if I can just get the other eleven to visit.
I once had a student who claimed to be psychic tell me that I had a problem with jealousy. “You’re a jealous person,” she said. “You should work on that.” I stood in front of her gawping, trying to imagine a scenario where I might have given a college prof unsolicited psychic advice. But then again, I’m not clairvoyant.
I wanted to give the student an automatic D for cheekiness but quickly banished the thought before she could intuit my intentions. She was, after all, a good student. Even if she had it wrong.
I’m not jealous so much as I am given to small fits of envy, which is, I think, an entirely different animal. Jealousy makes you scheme and plot and try to steal things away from other people that you want and believe to be rightfully yours. Envy just makes you miserable because you have this notion that you are lacking something other people have managed to provide for themselves.
For the last several years, basking here in Z’s love and all of our glorious freedom and good times, a lot of the things I used to be envious of don’t even phase me now. Someone gets a new house? Good for them! Someone has a new baby? How exciting and life affirming! Someone goes on vacation? What was it like? Someone gets a new dog? When can I see it, please?
But then a summer holiday like last week’s Memorial Day rolls around, and my green eyes get greener. On any given day when Z and I are sitting beside Lake Washington in our relaxi chairs, reading, I’m happy. Any time we score an hour or two on Hudge’s houseboat on Portage Bay, I’m pretty content. But if it is a summer holiday, I can only assume that everyone we see is with family or a big group of old, close friends, cooking out, playing croquet, sailing. Living some version of the American Dream that I’ve failed to provide for myself.
It didn’t help this year that I came home from Indiana feeling six degrees more homesick than usual. And I was already crabby because of the weekend-long, self-congratulatory posts on Facebook that imply the poster knows how to patriotically observe Memorial Day (which they believe is three days long), while I must surely be an ingrate who needs reminding and barely deserves my American citizenship. It also didn’t help that I’ve had a stomach thing going on that’s had me on the world’s blandest food for two weeks.
It really, really didn’t help on Saturday when Z and I tried to go to Golden Gardens, one of our favorite city parks with gorgeous views of Puget Sound, only to discover the parking lots were full and the place was crawling with people who had a similar idea. (We were reminded of the time two years ago when we took my mother there for a quiet picnic in a stand of trees by ourselves, only to soon be surrounded by fools balancing on slacklines and blocking our views, hula hoopers gyrating in front of us, and, I kid you not, someone with fire batons that they tossed in the air dangerously close to us. It was as if we’d accidentally set up our picnic blanket in the middle of a circus.) Last Saturday, as we drove around hoping to score a parking spot, Z and I looked at each other and one of us said, “I forgot how much I hate summer in Seattle,” and the other one concurred. It’s a refrain we’ll be repeating until September, especially when the cruise ships roll into town, crowding things up even more than they already are.
And so I thought about how if only we were in Indiana (though not by the Speedway where the Indy 500 would be running) we wouldn’t have to jockey for a park bench and we could rest our eyes on a landscape not littered with humans. My homesickness was compounded.
On Sunday, when I woke up to one of those hard rains that had set in for the whole day, the corners of my mouth twitched into a small smile. When Z and I decided to drive to Lake Washington and we did not have to dodge any cyclists or fight for a parking space, the smile got larger. We parked at a boat dock, where no boats were bothering to venture out so miserable was the day, and we sat listening to the rain on the roof of our rental car. We watched a gaggle of geese, wave patterns, a soggy Labrador being walked by his soggier owner. I napped.
No. It wasn’t a good day because other people’s plans were ruined; it was a good day because there were no expectations by anyone, including myself, that the day should be more fabulous than it was. There was no reason for envy.
And the rain on that roof was so soothing. | 2019-04-25T20:08:58 | https://thereluctantgirlscout.com/2014/06/ |
I used to gain around 8 lbs every Holiday season. Then it would take me almost the whole year to get it back off. But I would not get all 8 pounds off, just most of them. So every year I was a little heavier going into the holidays. The Rhino 6 Week Challenge changed that for me and I’ve kept the weight off for a good 3 years. But lately I’ve been a little lax on my nutrition. Nothing crazy, just allowing myself to eat fun treats whenever there is a party or my Mom sends homemade cookies with my brother Brent.
So, I asked myself how many treat meals I will be allowing myself between now and New Years. I know I want to have fun at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, for sure. I also want to have one morning where we make Cinnamon Rolls. But other than that, I want to keep my nutrition healthy and consistent with the 6 Week Challenge guidelines of 1 treat per week.
In talking to our past challengers who graduated and kept up with their good habits, I realized a few things.
If it’s in our house, we will eat it. So keep the bad stuff out of the house. Make Christmas cookies, keep 4 of them, and give the rest away.
If it’s at work, we will DEFINITELY eat it. I hear this all the time: “I have to have treats for the customers who come in and I end up eating them.” It’s time to purchase some Kind bars or other types of ‘healthier’ options, or put the treats under a cute, decorated box that says ‘treats for customers’ and opens from the front so you don’t look at them all day.
Track the ‘cue’ that makes you eat unhealthy. Is it going out with friends? Is it coming home from work? Is is boredom? Once you know what makes you eat unhealthy, set some boundaries for yourself.For example, whenever I go to a restaurant, I usually want to eat something ‘fun.’ So, I decided that I’m only going to eat something ‘fun’ if it’s a special date night or it’s a restaurant that I haven’t tried before. I was in the airport recently and stopped at Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza. It wasn’t a date night and it wasn’t special so I had the Mahi Tacos without the shell and a salad. I was at a party recently and there were homemade cupcakes. I LOVE cupcakes, but I have a policy to only eat homemade ones or ones from my favorite bakeries. I ate two. However, whenever there are store bought items that aren’t special, I stay away. Set the boundaries for yourself and stick to them. Otherwise, you will always ‘treat’ yourself.
The worst thing you can do is say “Oh well, it’s the Holidays” and just mindlessly eat every bad thing for the next 2 ½ months because it’s in front of you. The 8 pounds are not worth it. Most of the treats are not worth it. Save the treats for when someone makes homemade cookies or cinnamon rolls.
Don’t skip any workouts if it is possible to make it to class. There are going to be times when you are with family and cannot get your workout in. You will have holiday parties and other extra obligations that will keep you from getting your workout, so you need to make sure you get in as many as possible when you are able to. If you are only getting in 3-4 workouts a week, amp it up to 5 for the weeks you can make it.
Let’s plan our holiday treats and keep training hard through January! We can do it!
If you need extra accountability over the holidays, we have a 6 Week Challenge starting November 20th, and another one starting in December. These are Holiday Challenges, where you get 6 full hours of ‘treating.’ Or, you can just sign up for our nutrition program and get all the accountability you need through the Holidays. | 2019-04-24T22:12:22 | https://camprhino.com/how-many-treat-meals-will-you-have-between-now-and-new-years/ |

(if there isn't enough cupboard space for them in the kitchen - do what I did, have your hubby put up shelves or cupboards in the garage - I mean, it's really not hard to go out and get down the crockpot once a week). After the appliances are de-cluttered, how about other knick-knacks... other than your canisters (which actually could go into the cupboard if you have room), you don't really need tons of things on your counters (I know people who have things lined up all along the back edge of every counter... why?... are they serving a purpose?... isn't it a pain to move them when you need to clean?) Don't forget to clean off the top and front of your refrigerator - trust me on this one. Yes, your kids artwork is cute... yes those pictures are nice to look at... yes, the twenty different magnets that make different noises are fun - but just take it all off and see if your kitchen doesn't look much nicer. Leave the top of the refrigerator empty for now - we'll talk about this later. When you're all done, stand back and admire your kitchen... it looks great doesn't it?... Maybe that avocado green decor isn't so bad after all, now that it's tidy.... okay, maybe it is, so just keep reading..
You might even think of replacing a few of the front panels with glass (if your cabinets are a design that can accommodate this) - it will really change the look of the kitchen. Maybe even a few under-cabinet lights (these can be readily found in hardware stores and they even make little disc-shaped ones that run on batteries so there aren't any cords showing). While you're at it - and the brushes are still out - think about painting the walls too!
Replace hardware and knobs - Your new cabinets look great, but some new hardware and knobs will make them look even better. There are so many inexpensive choices available at your local Home Depot or Lowe's go check out what they have that will accent your new cabinet color.
Add a Splash - a backsplash that is! If you have a fairly large area above your counters, you may want to go with go with ceramic tiles as they are the most cost effective. But if you want to make a bigger splash and you don't have a huge area - Glass tiles come in mesh backed 12"x12" sheets and are fairly simple to apply. They are simply gorgeous and they're non-porous so they will be easy enough to wipe clean. Step-by-Step instructions on how to apply are available at DIY Network.
Step on it - your floor! A beautiful imported ceramic tile or hardwood floor is probably on all of our kitchen wish lists, however, they're not exactly in the "inexpensive" category. You can still make a big change by going with good old peel & stick. The newer versions are much nicer than the varieties of yesteryear and there is usually a pretty nice selection to choose from. Since these are peel & stick, they don't require any special glue or tools... So stick away, my friends. Complete how-to's are available at DIY Network.
Accessorize!- I know, I told you to get rid of all the knick-knacks, but I'm not talking little chachka's here, I'm talking about a few bold pieces that will make a statement. Remember we emptied the top of the refrigerator? Well, try topping it with just one great piece like a large, beautiful bowl or a tall, clear cylinder vase filled with glass fruit.
A mirror, a few great prints on the walls, frame some of the kids artwork in nice frames or take the photographs that you removed from the refrigerator, scan them and print them all out in black and white (all uniform size) and frame them in black frames with white mats - wouldn't that be a perfectly posh finishing touch.
With just a small amount of money and maybe a couple of weekends of your time, your kitchen can be just as Posh as the ones in magazines. Once your kitchen is looking great, you'll find yourself wanting to cook... wanting to spend more time there... wanting to entertain more... Is there any better way to kick off your summer? | 2019-04-21T18:16:45 | http://www.pinklemonadeoflife.com/2014/08/six-simple-things-you-can-do-to-make.html |

Linebackers do a little bit of everything for a football defense. They’re typically aligned just behind the defensive line, but outside linebackers are occasionally positioned at the line of scrimmage, particularly in 3-4 defenses. Linebackers are key run defenders, but also drop back into pass coverage regularly, and must be prepared to rush the passer as part of a blitz. Linebackers must combine strength with quickness and should be adept at reading offensive keys to position themselves properly against both runs and passes.
Take a balanced stance for most plays, with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees flexed. Bend forward from the hips and keep your weight forward, on the balls of your feet. Place your hands on top of your knees.
Know your responsibilities before the ball is snapped so you can move quickly to the proper area of the field after you’ve read the play. On a pass play, for example, you should have observed the offensive formation and known which player or which area of the field to cover, prior to the snap.
Read the play as quickly as possible after the snap and move immediately to your area of responsibility. The offensive line’s movements will typically reveal whether the play is a run or pass. If the linemen remain low and fire forward they’re run blocking. If they stand up and take a step back they’re typically pass blocking. If you’re assigned to cover a gap and you read a run, take a step forward toward the gap, while keeping your head up and following the play. If you’re assigned to key on a running back, mirror his moves as the play begins. If he moves right or left, take the same number of lateral steps in the same direction. But don’t take a crossover step. Shuffle your feet right or left while keeping your hips square to the line of scrimmage.
Keep your head up as you pursue running plays and expand your field of vision beyond the ball carrier. Watch out for blockers coming from the side.
Stay low and surge forward when you’re making a tackle. Drive your shoulder into the ball carrier’s chest or midsection while you wrap your arms around his midsection or legs. Keep your head up at all times. As you make contact, aim your head across his chest, striking the ball if possible. Continue driving forward after you’ve made contact, until the whistle blows the play dead.
Assume an unbalanced stance if you’ll be rushing the passer using an outside speed rush technique. Place one foot ahead of the other, with most of your weight on your back foot. Explode off your back foot at the snap. Keep your hands high and swipe at the blocker’s elbows to knock his arms out of your way. Immediately thrust your inside arm past the blocker’s outside hip, then use that arm to push off the blocker’s back and run past him, taking a direct line to the quarterback.
Practice backpedaling, running laterally and adjusting quickly to a receiver in your zone to prepare for defending passes. Perform drills with quick changes of direction backwards, forwards and sideways in both directions. | 2019-04-23T13:53:55 | https://healthyliving.azcentral.com/play-football-linebacker-4364.html |
This year, the threat of taps running dry happened in South Africa’s second largest city.
Due to severe drought, many taps ran dry, and thousands had to line up at public wells to get enough water to drink, let alone bathe or clean. Eventually, Rainfall offered some relief from the situation, and wastewater and desalination treatments are being implemented to prevent a future catastrophe.
A growing population, combined with lack of infrastructure and increasing climate change still mean problems exist: Cape Town is planning for a “Day Zero” scenario when all taps run out of water.
