I cannot believe there are only 8 weeks left till my due date. 54 days to be exact (which is actually a little less than 8 weeks)!! This year has been super crazy. I started the year off, a month after a major bone transplant (the navicular bone in my right foot died and had to be replaced with a bone from my hip) on bed rest through April. I worked hard on my book the first half the year and continued to work on my gluten free diet, dropping my weight from 170 to 126. As my bone healed (and my body healed internally!), I felt better and better. I got control of my anxiety allowing me to get good sleep and do things like flying without fear. I got pregnant, got married, and became a step mother.
The only negative symptom that I’ve had fromt this pregnancy is the hip/back pain. And tomorrow starts January of 2013. The year my son will be born.
I know it’s kinda cliche, but after a rough 2008-2011 – what with everything that happened in 08 and 10 and then all the surgeries in 2011, 2012 is when everything fell into place. I feel cemented in my life. I feel like I’ve made significant progress in obtaining my dreams and putting myself and my family on the right path. I feel like everything has fallen into place, and now I get to finally sit back and enjoy life. Even with pregnancy, my foot has felt fine. I don’t have any pain. I don’t limp. After every one of my surgeries, I’ve limped and/or favored my foot. To be able to walk is an amazing feeling and accomplishment.
I don’t know what 2013 will hold, but I do know it will be a year of change – as all years usually are. I’m excited for this change, excited to see how all my hard work and good decisions have panned out.
32 weeks. 2013. My newest symptom I’ve been experiencing is the dreaded braxton hicks. Actually, my doctor thinks I’ve had them for a while now and am only noticing them now. I have noticed for a while now that my belly tends to get rock hard after I eat a lot. I figured that I was just over eating. Now, I’ve noticed this hardness even when I haven’t eaten a lot. I notice it a lot when sitting in the car or at home. It’s not painful, no cramping, and only lasts maybe 30 seconds. I wouldn’t even call it annoying. It is slightly uncomfortable because it feels like your belly is a boulder.
I also have figured out what ‘Thaniel’s hiccups feel like. They make me giggle. Pretty much I just feel this rhythmic tapping feeling. It can last up to five minutes. Little jumps in the belly that are equally spaced a part in time. The first time it happened, I felt it a bunch and couldn’t figure out what was going on. I just couldn’t see this baby in me kicking me 20 times a minute. And then it hit me. Hiccups. It happens about once a day now, and is definitely one of the highlights of my day.
And of course, 32 week bump pics! | <urn:uuid:1e16bafd-adfb-4944-af98-976c233147fc> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://trialsandtribulations.bangordailynews.com/2012/12/31/home/32-weeks-the-last-day-of-2012-and-braxton-hicks/ | 2019-05-20T07:33:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232255773.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20190520061847-20190520083847-00037.warc.gz | en | 0.966824 | 696 | [

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *
All that is fire turns to ash eventually, the passion of misspent youth, the heat of reckless middle age, the slowing embers of love in mature grandeur, all set free on the wings of steam and the memory of what was once the most desired thing in the world, to be loved and to care for with equal ferocity; all this eventually is the Bonfire To Ash, the cinders which inspires the phoenix to rise one last time.
It is in the action of the phoenix that the world understands that life must go on, that the resurrection of perpetual love is what keeps humanity’s hopes alive and for Porter Nickerson, the wonderful duo of Willy Porter and Carmen Nickerson, the lush sweet sounds and intoxicating vocals sum up all of love’s highs and lows, the desperate days and the magnificent awareness that comes with love, that comes with letting your heart go where it must.
The album is tender, as intimate as the first kiss between lovers under a moonlit sky and the sound of waves lopping gently onto the still warm sand, it is the sound of affection in a lover’s final serenade before they find their eye wandering and the full blown argument to which some find absorbing but somehow feels deluded unless it is driven out of passion and not the sham of jealousy.
Bonfire To Ash is a dialogue, a conversation that you have with the one you perhaps need, the one you should love or the one that finds their way into your mind every day and in songs such as Earthquake, If You Stay, Echo of Love and Plant A Garden, the affection is there, undaunted, unaffected by Time but one that needs careful attention, for in any storm the seed sown can be taken out of the nurturing Earth and tossed aside into the weeds, the nettles and the briar patch of someone else’s charms.
A wonderful album in which love is explored and discovered, the fatal charms of the strong carry with it much ardour in between the tracks and the final sweet kiss goodbye is as alluring as the first kiss hello. Bonfire To Ash, a set of songs in which the fire never goes out.
Ian D. Hall

My only instructions were to dress like a man (knife optional), dress warm, get some rest and be in front of the Bagelsmith in Williamsburg at 11pm. That’s where Adriane Stewart, founder of Lotus Scoop ice cream, would pick me up in a rental car. We were driving all the way to Hunts Point Produce Market in the Bronx, the second-largest produce market in the world.
So, why were we going to Hunts Point? To get the fullest flavors in her ice cream, Stewart insists that overripe produce is what she needs, like black-speckled bananas and less-than-rock-hard sweet potatoes—but there is a fine line between ripe and rotten. When produce ripens, the enzymes released make it sweeter. But buying ripe produce isn’t that easy: Grocery stores don’t want to sell it and farmers markets can be inconsistent. The solution? Hunts Point.
It isn’t a place you would necessarily choose to visit alone—roughly 575,000 packages of produce move through here daily, it’s completely male-dominated and the activity is mostly at night. But Stewart treks there two or three times per week, by herself, with her dog, dressed like a man (self-described), ready to pick up heavy crates of “seconds” and “thirds” produce for her ice cream.
Food waste is clearly one of the biggest issues plaguing our modern food system. The facts are jarring: 40 percent of the food produced in the U.S. is wasted, equaling almost $161 billion lost, with another $1 billion spent to dispose of it every year. Not to mention the detrimental effects that food waste has on the environment while it decomposes in the landfill. A huge portion of produce never leaves the field because it is cosmetically not up to par or is tossed once it arrives at the supermarket because it is too ripe.
Cue Lotus Scoop. Stewart is trying to sway consumers toward seed, veggie, herb and ripe fruit concoctions. She’s putting the flavor back into ice cream by using ripe fruit, otherwise perfect for consumption, that would have been sent to a landfill.
Stewart grew up making ice cream with her father in Moorestown, New Jersey, a wealthy suburb outside of Philadelphia. They used to make cherry vanilla, chocolate chip and vanilla ice cream every Fourth of July for a huge backyard picnic. “We licked the beater of the ice cream maker and my mother made the ice cream base—a delicious custard base,” Stewart recalls.
Stewart treks there two or three times per week, by herself, with her dog, dressed like a man (self-described), ready to pick up heavy crates of “seconds” and “thirds” produce for her ice cream.
She never imagined that she would turn her family hobby into a career. Her early professional years had nothing to do with ice cream: She owned three wedding gown factories in Brazil. When she closed her factories and moved back to the U.S., Stewart felt something was missing from our ice cream landscape: those South American flavors and fresh fruits. She started Lotus Scoop on the same kind of homestyle electric machine that her father had used—bought with a $50 gift certificate her boyfriend gave her. She was soon making ice cream with ingredients like blackberries, green tea, cayenne and plantains.
“Americans aren’t fruit people,” says Stewart, and they definitely don’t trust things like kale in ice cream. “People think it’s weird to put fruits and vegetables in ice cream. I think it’s weird that people think it’s weird.”
As we pull up to this semi-remote part of the Bronx, trucks are lined up outside of the 60-acre market with their drivers trying to catch some zzz’s before their shifts. Hunts Point comes alive from 10:00 p.m. until the early morning, because this is the time that produce needs to be purchased so it can reach restaurants in time for service.
We arrived at almost midnight and stayed until 2:30 a.m. Aside from Stewart, I spotted one other woman during our entire stay, and she was sitting in a glass box, answering phone calls and accepting money from the purchasers. Men stared at us—beanies and baggy pants couldn’t mask the fact that, yes, we’re women. One man stopped and asked us for ID, I stared blankly, almost stuttering, because the clerk at the car entrance had already taken it. He walked away laughing, saying, “Just kidding! I just wanted to scare you!” Thanks.
Stewart surveyed the produce, weaving in and out of ripening rooms and refrigerators, and bargained for crates of bananas in the happy medium of yellow and brown. She walked away when the prices were just too high and managed to haul boxes of yellow squash weighing over 50 pounds all the way back to the truck.
Each batch only makes 40 pints, but the number of batches Lotus Scoop produces per week varies due to sourcing. Once produce is procured, the ice cream has to be made right away or the produce will turn.
Everything that goes into the “plant-to-pint” ice cream is hand-chosen by Stewart or somebody on her small team, then transported to their production kitchen in New Jersey (except for the premium milk—that comes from the Hudson Valley). Prepping ingredients for the ice cream is the most laborious part: Everything is cut, squeezed, juiced and smashed immediately prior to production. Each batch only makes 40 pints, but the number of batches Lotus Scoop produces per week varies due to sourcing. Once produce is procured, the ice cream has to be made right away or the produce will turn.
With some of Lotus Scoops’ flavors, Stewart attempts to cater to Latinos and Southerners with flavors not typically found in ice cream, like mesquite and starfruit. Making ice cream à la Stewart is kind of a chemistry experiment, she says. She and her team have to endlessly add more juice or more milk, or start all over again. Her product is so artisanal that when she tried to outsource her production to a boutique co-packer, they gave up—they weren’t set up to handle how complex it was to work with unpredictable produce and intricate preparation. (Also, Stewart was looking over their shoulder the whole time, saying, “No, no, that’s not how you do it.”)
When making one of her most beloved flavors, the Pear Kale Banana “Puddle Jumper,” she thought to herself, “Well, this could either be the grossest thing in the world, or the best.” Based on the feedback I heard during a demo at the Brooklyn Whole Foods, it’s one of the best. The bright green color deterred some of the less adventurous, but for the most part, once people took the first bite, their faces looked pleasantly intrigued. It took some by surprise: One woman said, “Wow, this is good actually,” and proceeded down the aisle to take her own jar home to test her theory some more.
Stewart’s best-seller, by far, is the Yam-a-rama—sweet potato and sea salt banana caramel. My personal favorite was the Kingston: Caribbean cocoa, Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and pan-roasted hemp. The tiny chunks of coffee beans in the rich chocolate gave a surge of lightness rather than that heavy “I’m so full” feeling. And rumor is that she is testing out a new Peaches and Bourbon flavor… stay tuned.
Despite having to jump through many hoops to rebrand herself, Stewart’s fledgling venture has seen an exploding interest— sales keep going up. You can find her product in Whole Foods and other upper-tier natural food stores around the city. And if you’re in Brooklyn, you can order three pints on the Lotus Scoop website and have them delivered right to your door, for $30. It’s a pretty sweet life, no? | <urn:uuid:b3a5a93f-c393-4a1f-9335-3c99628af964> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.ediblebrooklyn.com/2016/lotus-scoop-hunts-point/ | 2019-05-21T11:36:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256314.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20190521102417-20190521124417-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.961011 | 1,739 | [

Tomato is a vegetable that is consumed fresh and in processed products. The antioxidant activity of tomatoes has been recognized in several epidemiological studies; regular consumption of fruits and vegetables including tomatoes was implicated as being important in preventing cancer and cardiovascular disorders (Giovannucci, 1999; Heber, 2000; Rao and Agarwal, 2000). Tomato antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, phenolics, flavonoids, and lycopene are the major sources which exhibit antioxidant activity of raw and processed tomatoes (Beutner et al., 2001; Leonardi et al., 2000; Stewart et al., 2000).
Antioxidants can be classified in two groups on the basis of their solubility. Vitamin C and other water-soluble polyphenolic compounds are hydrophilic antioxidants. Lipophilic compounds include carotenoids, especially lycopene, and vitamin E and chlorophylls. Polyphenol compounds and carotenoids have different solubility. The solubility of phenolic compounds varies depending on their molecular weight and glycosylation degree, acylation or esterification. In particular, increased glycosylation increases water solubility. In case of lipophilic compounds, chlorophylls are more water soluble than carotenoids.
Studies have conducted to improve the functional and antioxidant properties of meat products using tomato (Candogan, 2002; Deda et al., 2007; Garcia et al., 2009; Kim et al., 2008; Østerlie and Lerfall, 2005). However, no studies have evaluated the antioxidant activity of tomato extracts depending on the concentration of ethanol as a solvent. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the antioxidant activity of tomato powder according to ethanol concentrations of 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%, and to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of pork patties prepared with ethanol-extracted tomato (EET) powders.
Materials and Methods
Fresh tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum) were purchased in a local wholesale market. Tween 20, butylated hydroxyl anisole (BHA), butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT), Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, linoleic acid, ethylene-diaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA), and 1,1-diphenyl-2-pycrylhydrazyl (DPPH)-radical were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Germany). Ascorbic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), gallic acid, petroleum ether, ferric chloride, and ferrous chloride were purchased from Junsei Chemical (Japan). Plate count agar and violet red bile agar were obtained from Difco (USA). Potassium ferricyanide was purchased from Avocado Research Chemicals (UK).
Fresh tomatoes were thoroughly washed, cut and homogenized prior to drying at 60°C using a hot air oven (LDO-250F, Labtech, Ltd., Korea) as described previously (Kim and Chin, 2016). The collected dried powder was mixed with the various aforementioned concentrations of ethanol (0-100%) at a dried powder-to-ethanol ratio of 1:20 as previously described (Kim and Chin, 2016). Ethanol extracts from tomato powder were obtained by stirring of the mixture at 4°C for 24 h and filtering through Whatman #41 filter paper. This extraction step was repeated twice and both filtrates were collected prior to evaporation. After evaporation, each of the concentrates was frozen at −70°C prior to lyophilization using freeze dryer (FT5505, IlShin Co., Korea). Each preparation was stored at −70°C until utilized.
The total phenolic compounds (TPC) of EET were measured by the modified Folin-Ciocalteu method as previously described (Lin and Tang, 2007). Each EET powder (0.1 g) was dissolved in 10 mL of ethanol. Then, 0.1 mL of the EET solution was mixed with 2.8 mL of distilled deionized-water (dd-water), 2 mL of 2% Na2CO3, and 0.1 mL of 50% Folin-Ciocalteau reagent. The absorbance of the mixture was measured at 750 nm using a UV-1601 spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Japan) after incubating the mixture at room temperature for 30 min. TPC was expressed as gallic acid equivalents (GAE) g/100 g dry matter.
The predominant polyphenols of EET were identified as previously described (Vallverdú-Queralt et al., 2014) with slight modification. Five polyphenol standards were selected including gallic acid, catechin, vanilic acid, rutin and quercetin. Approximately, 0.04 g of sample was homogenized with 4 mL of 80% ethanol. The homogenate was sonicated for 5 min and centrifuged at 300 × g for 15 min. The supernatant was collected in a flask and the extraction was repeated. Both supernatants were combined, evaporated, and reconstituted with Milli-Q water (0.5% formic acid) up to 2 mL. This extract was filtered through a 0.45 μm PTFE filter into an insert-amber vial for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. The analysis condition is summarized in Table 1. A 20 uL volume of EET was injected in a HPLC instrument (LC-10Avp, Shimadzu, Japan) and the flow rate was adjusted to 0.8 mL/min. Mobile phases consisted of acetonitrile (A) and 0.5% formic acid (B). Separation was carried out in 45 min under the following conditions: 5 min, 85% B; 20 min, 80% B; 30 min, 20% B; 31 min, 85% B; and 45 min, 85% B. The column was equilibrated for 5 min prior to each analysis.
EET radical scavenging activity was determined as described previously (Huang et al., 2006). EET solution (2 mL, 1-10 mg/mL in ethanol) was mixed with 0.2 mM methanolic DPPH radical solution (0.5 mL). After the mixtures were maintained at room temperature for 30 min in darkness the absorbance of the treatment was measured at 517 nm using L-ascorbic acid as the reference.
The ferrous iron chelating ability of EETs was measured using a modification of a previously described method (Le et al., 2007). Sample solution (0.5 mL, 1-10 mg/mL in ethanol), 0.1 mL of 0.6 mM ferrous chloride, and 0.9 mL of methanol were mixed and allowed to stand for 5 min at room temperature for the chemical interaction. Then, 0.1 mL of ferrozine (5 mM in methanol) was added and the mixture left for 10 min at room temperature. The ferrous chelating ability (%) was obtained by measuring the absorbance of the Fe2+-ferrozine complex at 562 nm and was calculated as [(ΔA562 of control − ΔA562 of sample) ÷ ΔA562 of control] × 100. EDTA was used as the positive control.
The reducing power of EETs was measured as described previously (Huang et al., 2006). EET solution (2.5 mL; 1-10 mg/mL), 2.5 mL of sodium phosphate buffer (0.2 M, pH 6.6), and 2.5 mL of potassium ferricyanide (10 mg/mL) were mixed and incubated at 50°C for 20 min. After incubation, 2.5 mL of TCA (100 mg/mL) was added and the mixture was centrifuged at 200 × g for 5 min. Then, the 1.25 mL of upper layer was mixed with 1.25 mL of dd-water and 250 μL of ferric chloride (1 mg/mL). The absorbance of the mixture was measured at 700 nm.
The antioxidant activity of EETs in linoleic acid emulsion was measured as described previously (Yen and Hsieh, 1998). A 2.5 mL volume of linoleic acid emulsion mixture comprised with linoleic acid, Tween 20, and phosphate buffer (0.2 M, pH 7.0) were homogenized with a 0.5 mL of sample solution (1 and 5 mg/mL). Then the mixture was mixed with phosphate buffer (2 mL, 0.2 M, pH 7.0) and incubated at 37°C. A 0.1 mL volume of each incubated sample was collected every 24 h and was mixed with 4.7 mL of ethanol (75%), 0.1 mL of ammonium thiocyanate (30%), and 0.1 mL of ferrous chloride (0.02 M in 3.5% HCl). After the mixture was incubated for 3 min at room temperature, the peroxide value was determined. A control was prepared in the same procedure without the extracts. Additionally, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) was used as a reference. A high optical density at 500 nm indicates low antioxidant activity.
The whole experiment was performed in triplicate. Results were expressed as mean and standard error of the results. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed using SPSS 21.0 software (SPSS, USA) as factors for treatments (reference, E0, E25, E50, E75, and E100) and concentration (0, 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/mL). Duncan’s multiple range test was used to determine significant differences at the 5% level.
Pork patties were manufactured with pork ham (cross-bred, Landrace × Large Yorkshire) and back fat containing 1% of water extracted tomato (WET) and 0.5 and 1.0% of EET as described previously (Kim and Chin, 2016) (Table 2). Approximately 70-80 g of the mixture was formed into one patty, which was placed on a polystyrene plate and kept at 4°C until analyzed. Patties were analyzed immediately and after refrigerated storage for 3, 7, and 14 d for the physicochemical and antioxidant activities described below.
|CTL||REF||WET 1.0||EET 0.5||EET 1.0|
1)Treatments: Control= patty without tomato extract; REF= patty containing 0.01% of BHT; WET1.0= patty containing 1% of WET; EET 0.5 and 1.0= patties containing 0.5 and 1.0% of EET, respectively.
pH values of patty samples were measured using a pH-meter (MP-120, Mettler-Toledo, Switzerland) at five different points of each pork patty with a properly calibrated pH/temperature. The surface color values of patties were measured using a color reader (CR-10, Minolta, Japan) equipped with illuminant D65, 8 mm aperture, and 10° standard observer. The data for color values were expressed by L* (lightness), a* (redness) and b* (yellowness) after calibration with white plate standard (L=91.0, a=1.20, b=0.30).
TBARS of pork patties was measured and the results expressed as mg of malondialdehyde (MDA)/kg sample (Shinnhuber and Yu, 1977). Homogenized patty samples (2 g) were mixed with 0.5 mL of antioxidant solution (mixture of propylene glycol, BHT, BHA, and Tween 20), 3 mL of TBA solution (1%), and 17 mL of TCA solution (2.5%). The mixture was heated at 100°C for 30 min. Then, 5 mL of supernatant and 5 mL of chloroform were combined and centrifuged (200 × g for 5 min). After centrifugation, 2 mL of the upper layer was mixed with 2 mL of petroleum ether. The mixture was centrifuged again at 200 × g for 10 min. The extent of lipid oxidation was measured at 532 nm using a spectrophotometer (UV-1601, Shimadzu, Japan). TBARS value was calculated by multiplying the optical density (O.D) of each sample at 532 nm and a factor of 9.48 from a standard curve of MDA.
Total bacterial counts and number of Enterobacteriaceae were determined using of total plate count (TPC) agar and violet red bile (VRB) agar, respectively. Ten grams of homogenized pork patties were diluted with 90 mL of sterilized dd-water and diluted. A 0.1 mL volume of each dilution was spread on TPC and VRB agars. Inoculated samples were incubated at 37°C for 2 d and the results were expressed as log colony forming units (CFU)/g.
The experiment was performed in triplicate. Results were expressed as mean and standard error of the results obtained from the three independent pork patties. Data were analyzed by two factors factorial analysis using SPSS 21.0 for Windows software. The two factors were the four storage times (0, 3, 7, and 14 d) and the five treatments (control, reference (BHT 0.01%), 1.0% of WET, 0.5% EET, and 1.0% EET). Means were compared using the Duncan’s multiple range test at a 5% significance level.
Results and Discussion
TPC of tomato powders extracted with different levels of ethanol were listed in Table 3. The recovery yield of oven-dried tomato powder at 60°C was 5.45% (data not shown). Moreover, ranges of extraction yield were from 9.45 to 70.9%. The lowest extraction yield (9.45%) was observed at 100% EET. Therefore, E100 showed the lowest total yield (0.52%) as compared to other treatments (p<0.05), whereas 0 to 75% concentrations of extraction solvents showed similar total yield (from 3.14 to 3.87%). TPCs of all concentrations quantified ranged from 1.57 to 2.02 g/100 g dry weight. Among the treatments, 100% EET powder showed the lowest content of TPCs (p<0.05). The contents of gallic acid and catechin were detected by HPLC. The contents of gallic acid and catechin ranged from 36.0 to 47.6 mg/100 g and from 49.3 to 61.7 mg/100 g, respectively. There were no significant differences among treatments (p>0.05). Although tomatoes at 60°C results in a decrease in antioxidants (i.e., vitamin C) (Gahler et al., 2003), bioaccessibility of phenolics increases due to the breakdown of the cell wall of tomatoes by heating (Tulipani et al., 2012). Therefore, increased polyphenols of tomatoes by heating is linked to the increases of antioxidant activity (Gahler et al., 2003). TPCs of vegetables and fruits were extracted according to the polarity of the extraction solvent (Moure et al., 2001). Pellegrini et al. (2007) reported that antioxidant components contained phenolic compounds of tomato based on different extraction solvents; the content of caffeic acid of water extract was higher than that of acetone extract. Thus, pure ethanol extract (100%), which has less polarity of tomato, showed the least TPCs among the treatments (p<0.05). Therefore, the polarity of extraction solvent might significantly affect the content of TPCs from tomato powder.
a-dMeans with different superscripts in the same row are different (p<0.05).
1)Treatments: E0=0% ethanol extracted tomato (EET); E25=25% EET; E50=50% EET; E75=75% EET; E100=100% EET.
Since interactions between treatment and ethanol concentration were observed in the DPPH radical scavenging activity (p<0.05), data were separated and the treatments were assessed by a treatment or concentration. As shown in Fig. 1, DPPH radical scavenging activities of all treatments increased with increased levels of ethanol for the extraction. The most effective antioxidant activities were observed in tomato powders extracted with 50 and 75% ethanol which displayed the highest antioxidant activity, regardless of any other ethanol levels (p<0.05). A high correlation between DPPH and TPC has been described (Dudonné et al., 2009). This could be partially due to the inclusion of one or more aromatic rings containing one or more hydroxyl groups, which can scavenge free radicals by forming phenoxyl radicals (Bors and Michel, 2002; Rice-Evans et al., 1996). Phenolic compounds are important constituents of plants due to their antioxidant activity via inactivation of free radicals or restricted decomposition of hydroperoxides into free radicals (Pokorny, 2001). In this study, 50 and 75% EET had high free-radical scavenging activity (p<0.05). Thus, combined antioxidants from water and ethanol solvent of these tomato extracts might increase the antioxidant activity, resulting in higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than other treatments (p<0.05).
The iron-chelating ability of all extracts increased with increasing concentration of ethanol up to 75% concentration (p<0.05). Iron chelation activity of the 75% ethanol extract was higher than that of 50% at all ethanol concentrations (Fig. 2). EET, 50 and 75% EET, which had similar activities at 10 mg/mL were similar to the EDTA reference, and displayed higher iron chelating activity than other treatments (p<0.05). These results indicated that the 50 and 75% EET possessed higher antioxidant activity than the other concentrations. Similar to the DPPH results, iron chelating ability of tomato extracts was highly correlated with the content of polyphenols, which can act as radical scavengers (Lodovici et al., 2001), singlet oxygen quenchers (Foley et al., 1999), and metal chelators (Brown et al., 1998). Phenolic acids have a metal binding site – the 3’,4’-dihydroxy group on the ß-ring – and this group has potential iron-chelating ability due to its electron-donating abilities (Andjelković et al., 2006). Since the various combinations of water and ethanol soluble antioxidant affected the iron-chelating ability, 50 and 75% EET showed higher activity than the other concentrations (p<0.05).
The reducing power of ethanol extracted powders was measured as the absorbance at 700 nm. All values of reducing power were higher than optical density values of 0.5 from concentrations of 1-10 mg/mL, which was considered as an acceptable range (Lin et al., 2009), except for the E100 treatment (Fig. 3). The reducing power of all treatments increased with increasing concentrations (p<0.05). Although the reducing powers of 0 to 75% EET powder were similar (p>0.05) at lower concentrations (1-2.5 mg/mL), those of 50 and 75% treatments were higher (1.67 and 1.69, respectively) than those of the reference (BHT, 1.50) at the highest concentration (10 mg/mL) (p<0.05). The reducing ability of antioxidant compounds generally depends on the presence of reductones (Duh, 1998), which have antioxidant activity by donating a hydrogen atom to break the free radical chain (Gordon, 1990). Since polyphenols in plants are strong antioxidant agents by acting as electron donors, increased reducing power may correspond with increasing concentrations of phenolic compounds (Senevirathne et al., 2006). TPC of treatments from 0 to 75% concentrations were similar (p>0.05) and higher than that of 100% ethanol treatment (p<0.05). These results suggested that the TPC from tomato extracts affect the reducing power, depending on the level of ethanol used for the extraction (p<0.05).
The results of linoleic acid peroxidation with various EETs are presented in Fig. 4. Antioxidant activity of EET at a concentration of 0.5% and 0.1% in linoleic acid emulsion was compared with control and 0.01% BHT and the results are shown in Fig. 4(A) and 4(B), respectively. The high absorbance at 500 nm (Abs500) was considered the high level of peroxide formation. The absorbance (Abs500) of control increased with the incubation at 37°C and the maximum value and the highest amount of lipid peroxides was observed at 72 h. Further incubation of the sample for up to 96 h resulted in a production of low molecular weight lipid peroxides, resulting in the formation of secondary oxidation products. Lipid peroxidation was suppressed by the addition of EETs during the incubation period. The maximum effective level was noted at a concentration of 0.5% EET from 50 and 75% ethanol (Fig. 4(A)). The reference, 0.01% BHT, effectively inhibited lipid peroxidation. This suggested that EET from 50 and 75% ethanol could be used effectively at a concentration of 0.5%. High content of antioxidants such as quercetin and kaempferol, prevent the peroxidation of linoleic acid (Jayaprakasha et al., 2001). Chlorogenic acid, 3,5-dicaffeolyquinic acid and dl-α-tocopherol are polyphenols that have a strong antioxidant activity by inhibiting the formation of conjugated diene from linoleic acid (Ohnighi et al., 1994). In addition, inhibitory effects of linoleic acid by antioxidants, such as the phenolic compounds are highly related to the structure of antioxidants. For example, hydroxyl groups of phenolic compounds could retard the lipid oxidation better than methoxy groups (Villares et al., 2012). Although TPC of all EET powders did not show significant differences, except for EET from 100% ethanol, 50% and 75% EET powders decreased the rate of linoleic acid peroxidation.
The changes of pH of pork patty samples with 1.0% WET and two levels of 50% EET (0.5 and 1.0%) are shown in Table 4. Addition of WET and EET (1.0%) decreased pH values of patty samples (p<0.05). However, 0.5% EET had a similar pH to those of control samples and the reference (p>0.05) pH values did not change during 14 d of storage (p>0.05). Candogan (2002) manufactured beef patties with 5, 10, and 15% tomato paste and evaluated the effect of tomato paste on sensory and physico-chemical characteristics of beef patties. Decreased pH on incorporation of tomato paste with beef patties was evident (p<0.05). Thus, the addition of WET and EET reduced pH values of pork patties.
Pork patty samples with 1% WET and EET were differently colored, as compared to the control (Table 4) (p<0.05). Although the lightness (L*) value was not changed by the addition of tomato extracts (p>0.05), redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) values increased in pork patties containing 1.0% of tomato extracted powder, regardless of the extraction solvent (p<0.05). Due to a relatively small amount, the patties containing EET at 0.5% showed similar redness value to the reference (BHT 0.01%) (p>0.05), and similar yellowness value to those of control and reference (p>0.05). However, increasing storage time decreased redness values due to the discoloration during storage (p<0.05). Carotenoid, the predominant color agent in tomato, affects tomato extracts (Garcia et al., 2009). Candogan (2002) reported that beef patties with tomato paste displayed increased redness and yellowness values, and decreased lightness. Thus, addition of EET to pork patties improved color of the product.

1)Treatment: Treatments are described in the legend of Table 2.
NS = not significant; * indicates p<0.05; ** indicates p<0.001.
Since there was an interaction (p<0.05) between pork patty treatment and storage day in the results of TBARS, data were separated out and assessed by treatment or storage day (Table 5). TBARS values of pork patties increased (p<0.05) with increasing storage days in all treatments. However, TBARS values showed differences among treatments during storage at 4°C (p<0.05). After storage day 3, control TBARS increased rapidly and was higher than other treatments (p<0.05). Pork patties containing WET and EET showed lower TBA values than those of the control and reference on day 7 (p<0.05). However, TBA values of patties containing WET and EET increased rapidly and were similar to those of control thereafter (p>0.05). This result indicated that WET and EET did not have distinctive antioxidant activity after 7 d of storage. Several researchers have reported that the addition of tomato products containing lycopene into meat products retards lipid oxidation (Candogan, 2002; Eyiler and Oztan, 2010; Garcia et al., 2009). Presently, application of water or EET powders to the pork patties delayed lipid oxidation at storage day 7. As previously reported, lycopene, a strong lipophilic antioxidant, had excellent antioxidant activity when applied to meat product. Dry fermented sausages with lycopene, which is a strong antioxidant from tomato peel, were manufactured and expressed high antioxidant compounds (Calvo et al., 2008). Candogan (2002) reported that addition of 5, 10, and 15% tomato paste significantly lowered TBARS values of beef patties, as compared to control patties (p<0.05) during 9 d of storage at 4°C due to lipid oxidation reducing effect of lycopene in the tomato paste (30-55 mg/100 g). In this experiment, although the effect of EET powder on antioxidant activity was not strong enough, both WET and EET of tomato exerted good antioxidant activity, owing to hydrophilic antioxidants, such as polyphenols. In addition, both of WET and EET extended three days of the chemical shelf-life by inhibition of lipid oxidation, as compared to the control patties (p<0.05).
a-cMeans with different superscripts in the same row are different (p<0.05).
A-CMeans with different superscripts in the same column are different (p<0.05).
1)Treatments: Treatments are described in the legend of Table 2.
Results of microbial counts of pork patties with water and EET powders during 14 d of storage under 4°C are presented in Table 5. Since there was an interaction between treatment and storage day (p<0.05), data were separated out and expressed as storage day in a treatment or treatment in a storage day. During refrigerated storage, total bacterial counts of pork patties rapidly increased after storage day 7 (p<0.05). Pork patties containing tomato extracts showed a 1 log reduction of total bacterial counts compared to control and reference on day 14 (p<0.05). Similarly, addition of WET and EET produced a 1-2 log reduction of Enterobacteriaceae in pork patties on day 14 (p<0.05). These results indicated that the tomato extract effectively retarded microbial growth, regardless of the extraction solvent and concentration. Sánchez-Escalante et al. (2003) manufactured beef patties containing lycopene-rich tomato pulp (LRTP) and packaged the product in a modified atmosphere. They evaluated storage stability during refrigerated storage by measuring redness, surface metmyoglobin, TBARS, microbial counts and sensory evaluation. The authors reported that incorporation of LRTP into beef patties did not show any microbial differences with the control sample (p>0.05), contrary to our results. Generally, at low pH, antimicrobial activity increase (Kim et al., 2013). A previous study proposed a microbial growth model in foods (Zwietering et al., 1993). These authors reported that, in sausages, minimum, maximum and optimum pH values of Lactobacillus growth were pH 2.8, 7.2, and 6.0, respectively. These results indicated that microbial growth can be inhibited, when the pH values of sausage were shift to acidic condition. Sánchez-Escalante et al. (2003) reported that the addition of LRTP did not affect the pH value (p>0.05). Our data, however, showed that addition of WET and EET to pork patties reduced the pH value resulting in lower microbial counts by antimicrobial activity of tomato extracts (p<0.05).
Among the polyphenols, gallic acid and catechin were predominant compound in EET powders, regardless of ethanol concentration. Among the various ethanol concentrations, 50 and 75% EET showed higher antioxidant activities than other concentrations (p<0.05) in DPPH radical scavenging and iron chelating activities, and linoleic acid lipid peroxidation. Pork patties containing WET (1.0%) and EET (0.5 and 1.0%) powders inhibited lipid oxidation by 7 d. Furthermore, the addition of EETs into pork patties inhibited antimicrobial activity by 1-2 log reduction during refrigerated storage. In conclusion, WET and EET powders may be potentially valuable as a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agent in meat products. | <urn:uuid:5a220572-f72c-4361-9b3e-2f9ee0882ce3> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.kosfaj.org/archive/view_article?pid=kosfa-37-2-242 | 2019-05-21T11:24:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256314.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20190521102417-20190521124417-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.939995 | 6,545 | [

FYI Miami: May 2, 2019
Below are some of the FYIs in this week’s edition. The entire content of this week’s FYIs and Insider sections is available by subscription only. To subscribe click here.
UNEMPLOYMENT CREEPS UP: Despite solid annual jobs gains in fields like construction and professional and business services, unemployment in Miami-Dade crept up from 3.2% in February to 3.4% in March, according to the latest US Bureau of Labor Statistics report. That left 47,900 persons in Miami-Dade unemployed, up from 46,100 in February. Construction showed the highest gain among job categories, up 7.35 for the year, followed by professional and business services, up 4.9%.
AIRPORT TRAFFIC SOARS: Passenger traffic at Miami International Airport rose 5% in the first quarter of the year, the airport announced Tuesday, adding 583,073 passengers over the same period last year. International passengers increased 5.5% and domestic passengers increased 4.6%.
METROBUS REDESIGN: Transit Alliance Miami’s pending Miami-Dade Metrobus route network redesign is one vote from approval, as county lawmakers in the Transportation and Finance Committee last month voted 4-0 to forward to a May 7 full commission vote a resolution sponsored by Esteban Bovo Jr. and Daniella Levine Cava supporting the group’s “Better Bus Project.” Mayor Carlos Giménez last year reserved $250,000 in “seed money” in the county’s 2019-20 budget for the group to use to attract matching funds, which it did. Transportation Director Alice Bravo said the redesign will create “hub and spoke system” where mostly straight, high-frequency routes are fed by smaller, less-frequent routes. The roughly nine-month system study will also include analyses of on-demand and ride-hailing services within the county – studies Transit Alliance Miami founder and Chairwoman Marta Viciedo said exceed the project’s scope and budget. To compensate, Ms. Bravo said her department would study those aspects “in-house,” adding, “Obviously, we want to look at the system in its entirety.”
MORE ART IN THE BEACH: Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber has asked the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee to alter an ordinance on Art in Public Places program. He wants to see more public art in the city and wants to expand the projects covered under the ordinance to be able to fund and support other artistic endeavors. Miami Beach has continued to support its Art in Public Places program after its establishment in 1984. Recent additions to the collection include six new works, selected from 524 entries, for the Miami Beach Convention Center with a total price tag of $7 million. Funding for these recent additions and future collections comes from 1.5% of costs saved from city-initiated endeavors as well as private and public partnerships. | <urn:uuid:faaa92bd-51e2-449a-a975-444247b378e0> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.miamitodaynews.com/2019/04/30/fyi-miami-may-2-2019/ | 2019-05-21T11:31:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256314.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20190521102417-20190521124417-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.944974 | 622 | [

In the new issue of Soap Opera Digest, Chloe Lanier (Nelle) speaks exclusively with the magazine about her decision to exit GH after a two-year, Daytime Emmy-winning run as Nelle. “It has always been my intention to leave after two years, at the end of my contract,” she explains. “I’m young and I feel like I want to challenge myself in other ways and play other characters and possibly produce my own material.” In the interview, she details why she gave the show early notice about her plan to leave, offers her take on Nelle’s evolution and shares memories of the close relationships she’s developed with her castmates, noting, “There’s a camaraderie among all the actors that I’ve loved. It will be weird not walking the halls and seeing everybody.”

The latest imagery from New Horizons has me wondering what it must be like to be on the team for this mission. Although released a week ago, the photo at left was taken by the Ralph color imager aboard the spacecraft on April 9. The distance from Pluto and Charon in the shot is about 115 million kilometers. This is the first color image ever made of Pluto/Charon by an approaching spacecraft, one that gives us a sense of what lies ahead as the distance continues to diminish. Imagine being part of this long effort and seeing a new world and its system of moons swimming into focus, unveiling landscapes never before seen.
New Horizons takes me back to the Voyager days, and in the context of the approach to Pluto/Charon, the publication of Jim Bell’s The Interstellar Age (Dutton, 2015) is truly apropos (I’m sure the publishers had exactly this in mind). Subtitled “Inside the Forty-Year Voyager Mission,” the book lets us glimpse what it was like inside JPL when the planetary encounters occurred. Bell, now president of the Planetary Society’s board of directors, was caught up in Voyager as a young grad student at Caltech, a formative experience in his career as a planetary scientist. In describing new planets coming for the first time into detailed view, he turns to the words of an old friend:
“The sense of exploration we get with these missions is a very ‘human explorer’ kind of feeling, even though our senses are on the distant spacecraft,” my friend, planetary science colleague, and Voyager imaging team member Heidi Hammel says. “I feel like an old-fashioned mountain climber when I am making discoveries, seeing something for the first time, realizing that no human before me has ever seen what I am seeing. It takes your breath away— for just a moment you feel a pause in time as you know you are crossing a boundary into a new realm of knowledge. And then you plunge in, and you are filled with childlike joy and wonder and delight.”
Hammel goes on to say that you have to temporarily shelve that feeling if you’re a scientist working on the mission, at least while an active encounter is going on. But the wonder of the event is something you always have with you, and it’s something a good scientist wants to share. It’s interesting in the New Horizons context that Bell talks about Jon Lomberg’s One Earth: New Horizons Message project. What Lomberg has in mind for New Horizons, you’ll recall, is an uploaded message, a Voyager ‘Golden Record’ sent digitally into the spacecraft’s computer memory after its Solar System work is done (see New Horizons Message Update].
Could we do something like this for the Voyagers? It’s an intriguing notion. Lomberg pointed out to Bell that while the Golden Record will always be a part of Voyager, there is nothing on the spacecraft that tells of its remarkable passage through our Solar System, something that says ‘here’s what Voyager was and here’s what Voyager found.’ Bell would like to see us upload some of these historic photos. Imagine: The volcanoes of Io, the spectacular cliffs of Miranda, the bizarre cantaloupe terrain of Triton, all could be used to create what he calls an ‘electronic postcard’ that will complete the Voyager story for any future intelligence that finds them.
And is a trajectory change a possibility? This is interesting stuff. Right now, the Voyagers will take about 30,000 years to reach the outer edge of the Oort Cloud (the inner edge, according to current estimates, is maybe 300 years away). Add another 10,000 years and Voyager 1 passes some 100,000 AU past the red dwarf Gliese 445, which happens to be moving toward the Sun and will, by this remote date, be one of the closest stars to the Solar System.
As to Voyager 2, it will pass 111,000 AU from Ross 248 in roughly the same time-frame, at which point the red dwarf will actually be the closest star to the Sun. According to Bell, Carl Sagan and the team working on the Golden Record wondered whether something could be done about the fact that neither Voyager was headed for the interior of another Solar System. Is it possible that toward the end of the Voyagers’ active lifetimes (somewhere in the 2020s), we could set up a trajectory change that would eventually lead Voyager to a star?
The idea comes out of Sagan’s Murmurs of Earth (Random House, 1978), which Bell quotes as he describes the concept:
Both [Sagan and the Golden Record team] and I wonder if it might be possible to command one final “empty-the-tank” thruster firing, just before final communication with each Voyager is lost, to “redirect the spacecraft as closely as possible so that they will make a true encounter [with these stars]. If such a maneuver can be affected then some 60,000 years from now one or two tiny hurtling messengers from the strange distant planet Earth may penetrate into their planetary systems.” If no one else does, I will try to remember to make this request to Suzy Dodd or whoever is running the Voyager Project in a decade or so, as the spacecraft power levels wind down. We have the fuel. Feel free to mention it to your congressperson.
A trajectory change would increase only infinitesimally the faint chance that one of these spacecraft would someday be intercepted by another intelligent civilization, but the message of this maneuver is really to us. There is a certain magic in the idea that these venerable machines might one day be warmed by the light of another sun. In any event, I’m much in favor of Pioneer plaques, Golden Records, and One Earth Messages, as they remind us that our spacecraft are our emissaries as well as our scientific tools. How we conceive of them through the information they carry helps us gain perspective on ourselves, and shapes the context of all our future explorations. If we can do it, I’m all for giving the Voyagers one last, hard nudge into the unknown. | <urn:uuid:1318907b-cedd-400f-a229-d3d3806452d7> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.centauri-dreams.org/2015/04/21/voyager-to-a-star/ | 2019-05-23T19:37:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257361.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20190523184048-20190523210048-00517.warc.gz | en | 0.941708 | 1,303 | [

I went to packet pickup two days before the event.
There wasn't an expo but they did have some pretty awesome Color Me Rad merchandise for sale. They had several shirts, tanks, and socks you could buy. They also had a super cute hoodie for sale. I didn't buy anything though...and my hubby is proud! ;-)
I was super impressed with the race shirt. They had men and women fit shirts. I ordered a women fit and it fits great....other than being super long. Along with a shirt, you also got a bib, RAD tattoo, and a pair of neon sunglasses!
My plan was to run this race with my friend Stephanie and her daughter and daughter's friend. My boys didn't want to do it at first. And then 3 days before the race they told me they wanted to do it...yay! Stephanie and I had plans to make our own rainbow tutus for this race. But after the bombings at the Boston Marathon, I decided to make my tutu in the Boston Marathon colors of blue and yellow. My blue is a little off (it should be more of a royal blue) but I couldn't find that color tulle. It's the thought that counts though. I think the tutu turned out great!
This race is mostly a race to have fun. It is not timed. You basically run it for the purpose of getting "color bombs" thrown at you! You sign up for a wave time...and that's the time you start running. Our wave was at 9:20. The race was only about 30-40 minutes away so I felt like I was sleeping in on race day! It helped that we didn't have to be there super early because not only did I have to get myself ready...I also had to get my two boys ready!
The boys were so excited! Sawyer couldn't wait! Hayden was a little hesitant about it all because he hates to get dirty. I've done the Color Run in the past so I knew he could stay in the middle at the color stations and probably wouldn't get much paint on him. I told him that and it helped him feel a little more at ease.
We rode with Stephanie and made it to the race in no time! We took a few before pictures of us all clean and white!
The race was being held at the fairgrounds. We wouldn't be running on pavement...but on grass and gravel. You could feel the excitement in the air! Everyone was excited to get colored with paint! We saw tons of people throwing color at each other as we made our way to the start line!
Finally it was time to start! We started out running but that didn't last long with the little ones. I knew going into this race that we would mostly be walking since my boys were doing it with me. But I was ok with that...I was so excited they were there with me!
There were four stations of color throughout the race with the final one being at the finish line. Unlike the Color Run (that does one color at each station) this race had several colors at each station. And the color wasn't always in powder form. They had some color that was wet...like green water. They would spray it at you or even pour a bucket of it on your head if you so desired! Another difference from the Color Run was how they colored you. At the Color Run the color was in bottles that they used to pour on you. At this race, they threw the powdered color on you.
At the first station I watched my boys carefully to see how they were going to react. Sawyer loved it! Hayden was shielded by me and barely got any on him...but he was good with that!
The boys did really well at the race...we took turns jogging and then walking. They complained a few times about their legs and feet hurting but I would just tell them we were almost done and they would continue on. I was super proud of how well they were doing! After four color stations we made it to the finish line. I was so proud of them! They had just completed their first 5K!!!!
Of course we had to get some pictures of us all colorful!
Me and Stephanie had to have a picture together too! I love this girl! Her husband is in the Coast Guard and they will be moving in about a month and a half. I'm going to miss her so much!!! :-(
Here's a quick video of all of us that I took after we finished the race!
We hung around a little while after we finished. We watched the activities on stage. They had several people that were being "colored" for prizes. They also would count down and have you throw your color packets in the air at one time to make a huge color explosion. I tried to get a good picture of that but it didn't turn out as good as it looked in real life.
Another fun activity they had was the "mullet toss." If you're from Alabama then you know what that is. It's basically what it sounds like...you toss a mullet which is a very populated fish in our area. They had 3 people toss mullets into the crowd and the winner was the one who tossed it the farthest! It was hilarious...and pretty gross! ;-)
We took a few more pictures before we headed home for some much needed showers!
We had a blast at Color Me Rad! My boys are already asking to do another one! Hayden even said that the next time he was going to get as much color as he could on himself! :-)

Former “Gossip Girl” actress Kelly Rutherford said she’s keeping her kids in America, and defying an overseas court order to return them to their dad in Monaco.
“No state in this country currently requires me to send the children away,” Rutherford said in statement. “Hence I have decided that I cannot lawfully send my children away from the United States to live in a foreign country.”
Back in June, a court in Monaco ruled that the kids should spend several weeks of summer vacation in the United States with their mom before coming back to Monaco.
When the order was made, Rutherford said, “I am pleased with the outcome and that the children will be coming to the US for a part of their summer vacation.”
But when it came time to returning the kids, Rutherford said she has no legal obligation to do so.
“I hope this decision will end this painful litigation and that my children will be allowed to live in peace in their own country,” Rutherford said. | <urn:uuid:07b568dc-cc0d-45b9-8957-8fc1d8b64a88> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://pagesix.com/2015/08/08/kelly-rutherford-defies-court-order-to-send-kids-back-to-monaco/ | 2019-05-26T05:54:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232258849.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190526045109-20190526071109-00277.warc.gz | en | 0.970229 | 216 | [

The Best Ever Spelt Pumpkin Loaf [Dairy-free Recipe]
Nostalgia is delicious, and this recipe fondly reminds me of my four long years at Naturopathic medical school. The cafeteria on campus made the world’s most delicious pumpkin loaf, and I indulged in a sweet little slice almost everyday during our mid-morning lecture breaks. I’ve been trying for years to recreate the recipe myself and I finally nailed it with this easy and delicious recipe.
While not gluten-free, I find most of my gluten ‘sensitive’ patients do well with a little spelt in their diets (I include myself in this category, wheat does not sit well but spelt is totally fine). Although spelt and wheat are closely related, they are two different species; spelt is Triticum spelta while wheat is Triticum aestivum. Researchers have discovered that the gluten in spelt is more soluble than wheat gluten, making it easier to digest than wheat. We’re also not exposed to spelt in our diets as often as wheat; most people have had much less prior exposure to spelt resulting in less opportunity to become sensitive to spelt. Food sensitivities, as opposed to true allergies, develop over a number of years with repeated exposure to a specific food or protein. This means that if you frequently rotate the foods you’re eating you will be less likely to become intolerant to them. I typically recommend that my patients switch their wheat for spelt, rye, almond, coconut or buckwheat flours in baking when possible. Spelt is a really excellent replacement for wheat flour since it reacts very similarly when mixed into a batter and baked. Start with this delicious pumpkin spelt loaf and I promise you will not miss the wheat!
Spelt Pumpkin Loaf
This Halloween you'll find us curled up on the couch waiting for trick-or-treaters and munching on this delicious pumpkin treat. This pumpkin loaf recipe is dairy-free and delicious, the perfect fall treat.
- 2 cups spelt flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup + 2 tbs maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbs pumpkin seeds + 2 tbs chopped walnuts to garnish (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350F. Mix the spelt, baking soda, spices and salt together in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl combine the eggs, pumpkin puree, vanilla and maple syrup and mix until smooth (you may want to use a whisk for this part). Mix the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until well combined and top with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds and walnuts - if using. Pour your batter into a lightly oiled loaf pan and bake for 60 minutes until cooked through. | <urn:uuid:3e708fab-a95c-47cc-ba91-883bba3c5f9c> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.thisdoctorskitchen.com/spelt-pumpkin-loaf-recipe/ | 2019-05-27T09:09:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232262311.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20190527085702-20190527111702-00437.warc.gz | en | 0.926435 | 611 | [

Kandy Laine is a superstar Cooking Guru, kinda like Rachael Ray but less annoying. After a series of suspected attempts on her life, her team calls in a private investigator/bodyguard. Classic Contemporary Romance with a dash of Romantic Suspense thrown in. Also Competence P0rn. There is never a moment where Kandy thinks of sidelining her business because of the shenanigans, she knows she has a literal empire resting on her shoulders. If she doesn’t work contracts get broken, people don’t get paid etc. I love our Hero who protected her but never compromised her agency. At times he was the perfect mirror for her to examine her work/life balance and her symbiotic relationships with her family members.
This series should come with a family tree in the notes as everyone working on TeamKandy is related in some way. It’s perfect sequel bait all over, will definitely check out more in the series.

We have learned that the present perfect continuous is a combination of the present perfect tense and the present continuous tense and that it is used in two ways.
1. We use it to talk about something that started in the past, but it still happening now.
- We have been exercising for 2 hours.
2. We can also use the present perfect continuous tense to talk about actions that have just finished when we can still see the results.
- It has been raining. The ground is wet.
In the previous lesson, we studied how to make yes/no questions. In this lesson, we will see how to make questions using question words.
Questions starting with "how long" are the most common and important question used with the present perfect continuous tense. How long + have/has + subject + been + verb(-ing)...?
- How long have you been reading that book?
- How long have you been waiting here?
- How long has she been sleeping?
- How long has he been working here?
These questions are asking for an amount of time.
A) How long have you been watching TV?
B) I have been watching TV since you went to work. So, I have been watching TV for 9 hours.
A) How long has she been reading?
B) She's been reading for a couple of hours.
We can also make questions with other question words. Question Word + have/has + subject + been + verb(-ing)...?
- What have you been doing since this morning?
- What has he been doing since the last time I saw him?
- Where has she been going after work lately?
- Why have you been spreading rumors about me?
- How have you been getting good grades on your tests? You never study!
Remember that sometimes "what" or "who" can be the subject of the sentence. Also, the noun in "how many + noun" can also be the subject of a question. In these cases, the question pattern will look like this. Who + has + been + verb(-ing)...? What + has + been + verb(-ing)...? How many + nouns + have + been + verb(-ing)...?
- Who has been eating my cookies?
- What has been making that noise?
- How many people have been sharing this computer?
People sometimes practice sentences more than questions. Make sure you practice making questions a lot. If you do not know how to ask questions in English, then it is hard to have a fun and natural conversation in English. Example Questions
English Conversation 1

B) I've been studying here for about 3 months.
A) Do you like it?
B) Everybody is nice, but I wish that my English would improve faster.
A) Learning English takes a long time and it can be very frustrating. English Conversation 2

B) Nothing special. Just working and having fun when I can.
A) Have you been exercising? You look good.
B) I have been doing yoga.
A) That's great. How long have you been doing that?
B) It's been about 3 months, so I am still a beginner. Learn to speak better English by simply doing this basic practice exercise. First, complete the questions with your own answers, and then practice making your own questions. Tip: Say the questions aloud. This will help you practice speaking English and improve your English fluency.

I have been living and breathing inside the cockpit and the RIO’s pit of DCS F-14B for the last few weeks. So it was refreshing to come across something that has piqued my interest in the form of Radio General.
A while back I posted about Radio Commander. I didn’t know it had a rival but in a WW2 flavor. The screenshots on the website look superb and I can’t wait to approach a game like this with this original approach.
Intercepting a TU-22 Backfire during the cold war must have been an incredible experience to take part in. During training fighter pilots are taught the intricacies of such a manoeuvre. It’s not just a case of getting behind the aircraft as best you can with guess work as I once thought but involves good radar work, and some on the fly calculations of geometry and maths that also involves hitting benchmarks. For example if you are head to head with an aircraft you want to intercept and sneak up behind you would need to be offset to the left or right at certain distances. So at 60 miles out you need to be offset by 10 miles and then the closer you get that offset shrinks and you have to do that or you could up in a seriously bad position.
I first came across the process after watching the documentary Jet-stream. Potential Canadian F/A-18C pilots are going through fighter pilot training and air to air interceptions are a module they have to pass. It fascinated me how they did it and it looked like a challenge to say the least.
This was a reply I got from J’ello a former fighter pilot who hosts the Fighter Pilot Podcast. I was asking how the maths work since they don’t get the data from the radar.
I recall that 1 degree equals 1 nautical mile at 60 nm. In other words, if you had two contacts 60 nm away from you 1 degree apart, you would know they were 1 nm apart. As you draw nearer to each other without changing anything else, they would be 2 degrees apart at 30 nm and, later, 4 at 15.
So for a target 20 nm away, where every nm of separation is 3 degrees, you would need him 24 degrees off your nose. That make sense?
Well it sort of does to my slow brain.
Anyway so I gave it a go and setup a scenario within DCS where I drop bombs on targets and then head out in search of a TU-22 Backfire.
First I had to lighten the load a touch. A few well placed MK-84 bombs on these Russian IFV’s should do the trick.
Not a good day for these chaps.
Bombs On Target.
I have to use my radar to find that Backfire. It doesn’t take long and I lock him up.
Now using the benchmarks described above I manage to get behind it with ease and precision much to my own surprise let alone his.
I pre-purchased this module first thing this morning. A bit of buyers guilt after feeling the pinch post X-Mas etc.
Despite the now legendary status of this iconic aircraft from a military and media point of view the thing I am really looking forward to is Jester. Jester is a new, lifelike AI that fills the role of RIO when flying single-player or multiplayer without a human RIO. That for me is going to be a game changer. A real leap forward in combat flight simulation.
Not only for the F-14 but the possibilities for other two seater aircraft. Imagine a Tornado IDS low level attack on an airfield with two of you, be that AI or human.
I came across this game on Steam a few days ago and thought it looks interesting. A new approach to command. Is it just cosmetic or is this a game with some depth?
Of course I don’t know as it hasn’t been released yet. This is what It’s all about.
In Radio Commander you are playing as an American military commander serving in US Army during the Vietnam War. You will be carrying heavy burden as your mission is to coordinate military operations taking place between 1965 and 1967. But this is not just another RTS, in which you are an invisible being hovering over the battlefield. In Radio Commander situation reports are given to you in form of dramatic radio statements sent by troops fighting on the ground. And your only accessory is a strategic map, on which you can place tags and notes. Will you be smart, fast and cold-blooded enough to carry the responsibility and save your men? | <urn:uuid:2c5d56f3-e8f2-4238-b846-1180650f3e6a> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://sim-deck.co.uk/category/latest/ | 2019-05-22T18:51:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256948.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20190522183240-20190522205240-00237.warc.gz | en | 0.965767 | 960 | [

The laws of physics are mathematical expressions of how the universe operates. The events taking place in the universe and the relations between them and the laws ‘governing’ the universe have drawn the attention of people from ancient times. Scientists have tried to explain whatever takes place in the universe, such as the movements of heavenly objects, tides and the floating of ships on the water. However, according to the thinkers of the ancient Greece, scientists had to concentrate on man himself, rather than on the natural world. They believed that natural phenomena and the laws governing them could be explained through mental operations like deduction, analogical reasoning.
The Quran calls the attention of human beings to the Divine manifestations on creatures such as the honeybee, ant, gnat and spider and invites them to reflect on and study phenomena like the movements of air, the alternation of day and night and the seasons, and the movements of heavenly bodies. The importance the Qur’an gives to the study of natural events inspired Muslim scientists to undertake investigations using observation and the experimental method - long before these came into use in Europe.
Since any event taking place in any part of the universe has connection with each of the particles in the universe and the whole of the universe itself, only one who has perfect knowledge of each of those particles and the universe as a whole, one who sees the whole of the universe with each particle in it, can determine and direct all the movements in the universe.
Science passed to Europe through the two centuries of the Crusades, through the universities in al-Andalus and Sicily and the translations made there from Arabic. This was the main factor behind the Renaissance in Europe. Building on (without ever openly acknowledging) the works of Muslim scientists, Western scientists led the way to the birth of modern science. Until correct conclusions were reached about phenomena through observation and experimental methods, the assertions of the ancient Greek philosophers had been accepted as the basic laws of nature. For example, it had been asserted as true without question from the time of Aristotle that the speed of an object’s falling is proportionate to its weight. However, the experiments done by Galileo and Newton proved this to be false. Those experiments showed that- so long as the resistance of air is negligible in proportion to the weight of the object and its vertical cross sectional area - the unhindered movement of an object on the earth is not dependent on its mass. This means that objects of different weight dropped from the same point reach earth at the same time. Such developments in physics led scientists to app rove observation and experiment as a basic rule in establishing natural facts. It was the job of scientists to try to discover the laws and basic truths prevalent in the universe through observation and experiment - empirical methods - while it was the task of philosophers to reflect on and comment on them, in other words, in order to have true conclusions about the universe and the events taking place in it we had to discard all of our preconceptions about them and study nature through empirical methods and then comment on the natural events and the relations between them.
In order to have a clearer understanding of modern science and what it can give us of truth about the universe, let us consider the law of general gravity, which is an undeniably established scientific fact:
Various observations and experiments have shown that any two objects attract each other or exert force upon each other proportionately to their masses and in inverse proportion to the square of the distance between them.
The force of attraction or gravity is the force which is in effect in events such as the falling of an object and the revolving of the earth around the sun. Science presents gravity as if it were the cause of such events. However, what we call the force of gravitation is only a notion which we use to explain those events. That is, there is an attraction observed between objects. In order to explain this attraction, we give it a name like the law or force of gravitation and then think that we have explained the event of attraction.
Science does not know the nature of what it calls the force of gravitation but, starting from the assertion that we have already successfully explained many events whose causes were unknown in the past, claims that it will be explained in the future. Nevertheless, science is unable to explain the real cause of all the events in the universe. What science in fact does is, starting from the recurrence of an event under the same conditions, to make a generalization and call it a law. Then it proceeds to assert that the same event will take place again and again under the same conditions. For example, after observing the falling of objects thrown into the air, it makes a generalization that all objects thrown into the air fall, and expresses this event of falling by a mathematical formula.
It can serve as a simple example to see how science works to calculate and state beforehand how long it takes for an object thrown into the air with a certain force and at a certain angle to fall and at what distance it falls. Since events take place in a cause-and- effect series, knowing what effect or event will take place in the next step does not require understanding why it takes place in that way. Therefore, although we suppose that the law of gravity will be understood as, say, dependent on an exchange between certain particles or the obliquity of spatial time, it will nevertheless remain unexplained through scientific methods why such an exchange takes place or why the spatial time becomes oblique and why that exchange or obliquity occurs according to certain mathematical formulations and thereby objects attract each other. In addition to the fact that why objects attract each other remains unknown, it is also a mystery (and a wonder) that this event of attraction takes place according to a mathematical formula. Because of our familiarity with the events taking place in nature, we ignore the important fact that every thing, every event in nature is a miracle. In order to see why the event of gravitation is a dazzling miracle, we should consider it more closely:
Since the movement of an object according to the law of gravity is one each moment of which is mathematically described and requires as many masses and distances as the articles in the universe and the distances among them to be known in their mutual, complex relations, there must be One Who is the All-Knowing.
Since any event taking place in any part of the universe has connection with each of the particles in the universe and the whole of the universe itself, only one who has perfect knowledge of each of those particles and the universe as a whole, one who sees the whole of the universe with each particle in it, can determine and direct all the movements in the universe. Also, since the law of gravity and all the other physical laws are the same and have the same uniformity throughout the whole of the universe, the one who makes these laws operative in the whole of the universe must be an absolutely powerful one, who dominates each and every thing in the universe. Otherwise, each atom in the universe must have an eye seeing the whole of the universe at the same time, know the position, mass, electrical charge, in short, all the physical features, of each particle in the universe, be aware of all the physical laws and obey the laws itself originated.
Every event and every thing in the universe is interrelated to every other and whatever takes place in the universe takes place according to certain laws. Therefore, it is impossible for even the smallest, most insignificant-seeming event to take place without one with an absolute, perfect knowledge of the universe with all its particles and an absolute power governing it. Said Nursi expresses this fact as follows:
If the existence and operation of the universe is not attributed to God Almighty, then it requires admitting that each particle has the attributes of the Necessarily Existent Being, and that each particle should both dominate and be dominated by all other particles. Again, each particle should have an all-encompassing will and knowledge, for the existence of a single thing is dependent on all things and one who does not own the universe cannot rule a single particle.
After explaining how complex a phenomenon gravitation is, we can go a little further to see the real cause of that phenomenon. The relation sensed between the fall of a stone and the rotation of the moon around the world in a fixed orbit led Newton to discover the law of gravity. Ever since this law received a general welcome, the cause of the falling down of an object thrown into the air has unquestionably been accepted as gravity. However, it is not necessary that the real cause of this movement is the force of the attraction of the earth or the existence of another material cause.
Let us imagine some animate beings living on a two- dimensional table. These living beings are aware of only the table on which they live and completely unaware of the three- dimensional world around them. Someone from the three- dimensional world fires at the table in equal frequencies and makes holes at equal distance from each other. Seeing the holes at equal distances, the animate beings living completely unaware of the three-dimensional world will inevitably conclude that each hole causes another one to be made. Whereas it is some other firing from the outside world who made the holes.
This is how the scientists attributing every thing and event in the universe to the law of causality think about the working of the universe. It is questionable whether the attraction of an object toward another near it (for example, the attraction of a falling stone toward the ground) is because of the objects themselves or there is some other source forcing the objects to such a movement. (The event of attraction is the simplest of the events occurring in the universe. You may consider how a honeybee makes honey or a cow gives milk, events which contain a much greater number of physical interactions, chemical reactions and cause and effect.) In short, since the movement of an object according to the law of gravity is one each moment of which is mathematically described and requires as many masses and distances as the articles in the universe and the distances among them to be known in their mutual, complex relations, there must be One Who is the All-Knowing. This One must also have an absolute will to choose and assign for each event a law out of innumerable ones. The uniformity of the law, that is, all the laws being prevalent throughout the universe calls for the unity of that All-Knowing and All-Willing One, and the obedience of all things, small or great, to those laws demonstrate that that One is also the All- Powerful. Again, the unchangeability or stability of the laws and the magnificent, unchanging order and harmony of the universe show that that One is Self- Subsistent and the All-Subsisting. That means it is that All-Knowing, All-Willing, All-Powerful, Self-Subsistent and All-Subsisting, Single One Who causes a stone to fall. For no one and nothing in the universe has the knowledge, will and power absolutely necessary for the falling of a stone. Every thing and event in the universe is too complex and magnificent for any material cause to bring it about. There is then no way for man other than to admit and recognize the Existence and Unity of God. | <urn:uuid:77ccb5a5-80a9-4dc2-9014-d28900677c4e> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://fountainmagazine.com/1997/issue-18-april-june-1997/What-a-Falling-Stone-Means | 2019-05-23T22:53:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257432.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190523224154-20190524010154-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.954769 | 2,287 | [

“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.’
‘Let the revolution begin!”
– Ron Paul
(June 10, 2013) – Former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul appeared on CNN tonight to tell Piers Morgan why he objects to the NSA surveillance program.
Morgan directly asked Paul if he would have actually ended surveillance programs if he were president.
Paul said he would still want intelligence gathering, but it would be done in a more transparent way, maintaining that the current surveillance program are unquestionably unconstitutional.
He directly told NSA defenders that they are simply “justifying dictatorship.”
Paul dismissed the use of a FISA court as a significant enough of a check on the executive branch. He said this program is undeniably “destroying the Constitution,”, and posed a question to anyone who defends the widespread surveillance.
“So my question should be, to all of you who defend this nonsense is, what should the penalty be for the people who destroy the constitution. They’re always worrying about how they’re going to destroy the American citizens who tell the truth to let us know what’s going on. We ask the question, what is the penalty for the people who deliberately destroy the constitution and rationalize and say, ‘we have to do it for security.’
Well, you know what Franklin said about that, you end up losing your security and you lose your freedoms too. So I think we’ve embarked on a very, very dangerous course. The American people are with us on this, it’s totally out of control, and I would say if you’re confused about what we should do, just read the constitution. What’s wrong with that? If you don’t like it, get people to repeal it and change the constitution, but not just to deny it.
We go to war without a declaration. We totally ignore the constitution. That is what our problem is today — we have no rule of law, and people say, ‘well, just let secret Courts do this,; and the governments to know everything, and the American people have no privacy. I mean you’re — that reflects intimidation, people are insecure, and think that we’ll need more authoritarianism. You’re justifying dictatorship, is what you’re doing.“ | <urn:uuid:864ea1b3-40d3-4559-85ef-dee5f7935dcd> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://infiniteunknown.net/tag/prime-minister/ | 2019-05-26T10:18:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232259015.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20190526085156-20190526111156-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.956508 | 494 | [

Picked up a radiator overflow bottle from supercheap for $23, it is a nice little bottle that will sit nicely in the car. I wanted to make up a neat bracket to hold it in as the way it was designed to mount wont work with where i want to put it.
Aluminium angle cut at 45deg
Welded up on the outside, i also welded the bottom as well.

Case briefing can be a difficult process because there is so much that goes into case briefing. My first semester I am pretty sure I was not briefing my cases correctly until the middle of the semester. I finally found a method to my madness, and it has worked for me. I use different color highlighters for different things that I look for in cases. I will discuss the 4 colors that I use to case brief in my textbook.
BLUE is the color I use to represent the ISSUE(S) in the case
- A keyword to look for when issue-spotting is the word “whether”. Whenever I see that word I take my blue highlighter and highlight until the end of the sentence.
Example: “Whether Lodowick Post, by the pursuit with his hounds in the manner alleged in his declaration, acquired such a right to, or property in, the fox, as will sustain an action against Pierson for killing and taking him way.
- The issue does not always start with whether. It can be in the form of a question.
Example: Do the parties have a legally binding contract?
- Issue-spotting is very important in law school because it is the question the court is trying to answer.
- There can be many issues within one case, so it is important to find all of them.
YELLOW is the color I use to represent the FACTS in the case
- This is the color that I use the most of. I go through yellow highlighters a lot!
- The twist to this is that I take notes on the side. In the beginning I would just have yellow highlighter everywhere, and it was not effective for me.
- So, I now write in the margins of textbook when I identify legally relevant facts. I usually do not highlight the background facts such as, if they were talking about someone’s age or city they grew up in UNLESS they are important to the case.
Example: if they were talking about age regarding a tort or a contract, this could possibly be important depending on the issue(s) of the case.
- Some facts can distract you from what is important, and it is a great skill to be able to highlight the necessary facts because there are long fact patterns in some cases.
GREEN is the color I use to represent the RULE(S) OF LAW in the case
- The rule of law is the legal principle(s) that the court used to solve the issue. This can often be found in elements.
Example: if the plaintiff is trying to prove Battery, then the court will likely use elements.
- Intentional act taken by the defendant
- To create harmful or offensive contact to the plaintiff’s person,
- Contact follows
- There are also rules of law that do not have elements
Example: pursuit alone vests no property or right in the huntsman; and that even pursuit, accompanied with wounding is equally ineffectual for that purpose, unless the animal be actually taken.
PINK is the color I use to represent the HOLDING in the case
- This is the answer to the issue at dispute.
Example: mere pursuit gave Post no legal right to the fox, but that he became the property of Pierson, who intercepted and killed him.
Reasoning/Rationale is VERY important. I do not have a color for this one, but it is saying how the court reached its decision after applying the rule of law to the set of facts to answer the issue. This goes through the reasons for the holding, which can also lead to policy arguments.
Procedural History is another thing that you can keep in mind when reading cases that I do not have a color for, but take a mental note. This is where you put the decisions made by the lower court.
Example: If you are in the Supreme Court of the United States, then the procedural history would include the United States District Court decision, and the United States Court of Appeals decision.
These are the things that I look for while case briefing. This helps me because if the professor cold calls on me to ask the facts of the case, then I know to look for yellow. If they ask me what rule(s) of law was applied, then I look for green. If they ask for the holding of the case, then I look for pink. If they ask me what the issue(s) of the case was, then I look for blue. I only use my textbook. You can also type or write these out if that works better for you! | <urn:uuid:028ca72c-f4f7-4f3b-8876-26bb976a336e> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://legallycomplicated.com/2018/01/21/case-briefing/ | 2019-05-27T13:19:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232262600.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20190527125825-20190527151825-00317.warc.gz | en | 0.95837 | 956 | [

This is a Quick connect and release hose clamp with large active surface area that allows for low clamp (squeeze) pressure. Great for anyone needing to QUICKLY secure and release common hose. Also the clamp pressure is adjustable, just don't use more clamp pressure than is needed to secure the hose pressure.
In my business of importing, modifying, selling and repairing Plasma Cutters & TIG welders based upon Inverter Technology. (Notice how I subliminally advertised my main products)... I got tired of dealing with the slow and annoying process of securing the machine air hoses at our product test stations. I needed to be able to quickly secure the air hose reliably to handle 70 psi pressure and just as quickly release when tests are finished. So... I decided to spend a little time to design a hose clamp to meet my demands... and it turned out great!
No more finding a screw driver and meticulously tightening the screw clamp only to find it's not tight enough and having to re-tighten only to find it required much more than thought was needed and in some cases eventually strip the threads. Arrrgh! #%$^&*@
This design provides much more clamp surface area, that allows minimal stress on the clamp itself and easy clamp and release.
It works great!

Efficiency and time management are two buzz words that most professionals hear every day. How can we become more efficient or how can we manage our time better? After January, most of our clients here are happy to be done with year-end close and are starting on closing January’s activity. Which activity seems more time consuming, closing a month or closing the entire year? Honestly, they should be about the same. What is a year-end close, other than closing all the prior months’ activity out? By the time you make it to closing out the year, you should have already closed out 11 straight months of activity so that final month should not be any different.
Efficiencies are built by performing a task multiple times and increasing your performance by decreasing your mistakes. Once you know your month end close activities, make a list, step-by-step of the process. This part is critical to gaining efficiencies and increasing time management. Once you have made your step-by-step list to close a month, you can start working on automating each step or removing/combining steps as necessary. By performing the same process in the same order, you will gain familiarity with each step and recognize the proper order and details you will need to complete the month-end close. Seems simple, now how many people approach their month-end closing in such an organized style?
Practical Application; how will this really build efficiency and time management? Imagine you are in an office setting where everyone has written procedures for the normal routine task they perform each day. If someone is sick or on vacation, another employee in that department can pull up the procedure and quickly get the task completed. Also, when it comes time to training new staff or cross training existing staff, you already have solid groundwork set up and after a few walkthroughs of the process and an outline, the new staff person will shortly master the procedure and then start to find their own efficiencies. Time management comes after, with staff properly trained and cross trained, you will have more time to take that much needed vacation and not have to worry that you will be coming back to even more work than when you left. | <urn:uuid:5bef58e0-fa90-4eec-95a9-dd4c2ad47f11> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://blog.atchleycpas.com/2014/02/17/efficiency-and-time-management/ | 2020-07-02T09:37:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655878639.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200702080623-20200702110623-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.960679 | 463 | [

How do I upgrade to SharePoint 2016?
Upgrading a SharePoint environment to the latest version can be a long and complicated process which can get messy if not planned for properly. We advise sharing the risk with a partner unless you have in-house SharePoint expertise. ClearPeople have the right experience, follow a robust methodology, and are happy to be your trusted advisor throughout this journey.
ClearPeople have achieved success in countless SharePoint upgrades and hence have developed our own methodology to streamline the process and reduce risks.
The methodology we follow typically includes the following stages:
- Assessment and Planning
- Testing and Building Proof of Concepts (PoC)
- Content Preparation and Migration
- Adoption and Support
Let’s discuss each stage, highlighting why it is needed and explain the typical scenarios.
What’s the first step?
The first stage is Assessment and Planning. During this stage we will investigate your current SharePoint farm and perform a readiness assessment. On completion we will provide you with a feasibility report which includes our plan of action, a roadmap and any potential risks.
This is when our consultants will collaborate with your main stakeholders to understand how you interact with SharePoint within your business. This typically requires a mixture of business and technical meetings or workshops. Following this, our consultants will run an in-depth assessment to gather all the required information to produce the feasibility report.
During this stage we will ensure that the migration is properly planned, and that all parties clearly know what is required of them. Preparation is a must and is the most important stage for a successful migration. Collaboration and communication is key as together we will make sure that we cover your current system from every possible angle.
During this stage we will assess the feasibility to migrate customisations, third party solutions and other configurations specific to your business. In the feasibility report we will highlight our findings and include recommendations for the next stages.
What relevant documentation will we provide?
The feasibility report includes a breakdown of your current environment and associated recommendations. It outlines a feasible roadmap and potential approaches for your migration while ensuring that we consider your business priorities.
What other optional tasks do we recommend?
The content audit is an optional exercise but one that we would highly recommend, especially if there is a lack of governance or the information architecture has grown organically without controls in place. This exercise will help you review your current content and make decisions regarding which information you need to migrate, and which you would rather leave behind or archive. This is a typical activity that one would opt to go through when moving house, and similarly when moving to a newer version of
It’s common that users feel their system needs improvement. Most of the time it’s about search and making the findability of documents easier and more efficient. At times, fixing this requires an improved underlying information architecture and better organisation of data, not just improving search itself. This exercise is recommended as it’s quite common that clients prefer to sieve through unused documents and spend less effort on migration by migrating useful documents only.
Besides planning and documentation, what else can we do to reduce risks?
The next stage is to create and test a PoC. It’s often the case that as part of the preparation for migration some areas of higher risk need to be tested. The aim is to mitigate risks and highlight limitations in advance. This will also help you to make more informed decisions while finalising the planning stage.
So primarily we will consider key areas highlighted during the assessment stage, build the required Proof of Concepts and test to further confirm the feasibility of our approach.
Depending on the requirements, we could potentially need a deployment of a SharePoint 2016 Farm. At this stage we have a choice of building a throwaway pilot or getting you ready with a development or a User Acceptance Testing (UAT) environment. This ultimately depends on your design requirements.
What’s next once planning is complete?
Once the testing stage is complete and the documentation is amended to reflect the latest findings, the next activity is to build the target environments. This includes both the underlying infrastructure and installation and configuration of SharePoint 2016. We would always recommend having a staging (or UAT) environment as well as a production environment. In the case of Office 365, we would recommend having separate tenants in order to have complete separation of environments since some configuration can be common to multiple sites.
We always advise implementing a UAT environment, especially if you are planning to migrate your systems in a phased approach. This is because you would potentially be building new features on your new UAT while gradually migrating systems from your previous SharePoint environment.
Once the SharePoint 2016 platform is ready, we will deploy any custom solutions and configure the platform to match what you have in your current environment. This is where it can get tricky, especially if work is required to make the custom solutions compliant with SharePoint Online or SharePoint 2016. There are other considerations to keep in mind that could lead to some rework of your solution. For example, wanting the improved features of the later SharePoint version or SharePoint Online such as using Content Search web parts instead of the old and very slow Content Query web parts.
What should we take into consideration while migrating content?
Once the platform, SharePoint and required configuration are all in place, the next task is to prepare scripts to facilitate the actual migration of content. It is usually advisable to script the migration in order to improve reliability, and reduce risk of manual error. This is typically true no matter which technical approach is followed for migration.
From a technical point of view this is where the roadmap can take two distinct paths. The first path involves using a third party tool for migrating the content. The second path involves the Microsoft native supported way of doing a “database attach” migration to upgrade the database schema, then verifying the visual upgrades and approving the upgrade on a site by site basis.
Both paths have benefits depending on the scenarios involved, and when migrating to SharePoint Online only the first option is possible, as the database attach method is not possible with Office 365. This is also true when jumping multiple versions at once. However, here there is the option to implement an intermediate temporary farm and usually the determining factors depend on type of customisations, amount of content and so on. For instance, if your current implementation of SharePoint is completely out of the box, then the recommended and more simple approach would be to use the native database attach method. Obviously, the recommended approach could be a mixture of both methods depending on what there is in each specific web application and site collection.
Additionally, at this point, clients often consider improving their information architecture and opt to invest in redesigning their implementation before migrating. Usually there are a number of factors that lead to this decision. The most typical feedback we hear from end users is that navigating for documents is confusing, or search results are never as expected, and thus there is a clear need to improve the underlying information architecture.
When this is necessary migrating can get a bit complicated as the destination of the documents won’t be just a like for like ‘lift and shift’ but will require specific rules matching the new information architecture. It is very typical that in such scenarios the clients opt to ‘lift and shift’ with a like for like information architecture in a separate site collection, and then move documents gradually at a later phase to the new site collection having the new and improved information architecture. Also keep in mind that at this point you have the option to get rid of old and useless data and migrate only the useful content.
How will we be certain that the migration went well?
This stage often overlaps with the previous stage, and usually happens when the migration is not like for like, or if certain customisation cannot be migrated freely and need some fixes. For instance, there are scenarios where pages would need tidying up due to older components which might not be relevant anymore and thus need to be removed manually or by script after the page is migrated. This is also the case if metadata and default values need to be fixed after migration. It is almost impossible to avoid having to tidy the migrated content.
What is required once the migration is complete?
The last stage, Adoption and Support, is an important one that is not always given enough importance for reasons such as cutting down the cost of a migration. At times this is fine, depending on the in-house skills you have available. However, this is often not the wisest choice and it would often be too late to fix things once you notice the effects of not taking this stage seriously.
Success is determined by a range of factors, which typically include increased system usage, happy and satisfied content editors and improved efficiency of daily tasks. However, simply put, just because all of the data is on the new system it does not mean that all content owners are satisfied, happy and comfortable with the new system. Content owners always take a while to get used to new features that change the ways they do their daily tasks. Hence, very often, until they get used to it, they might easily think that there is something wrong with the system. Concerns typically arise from unexpected changes or users not knowing how to use the new features rather than due to technical faults during the content migration.
With this in mind, you can see that it is crucial for content owners to have the right support when using a new system so that they can get up to speed as quickly as possible, and without the risk of having users lose trust in the new system just because it is a change. | <urn:uuid:a9bd24ed-1d54-4f72-be52-9ce3f9d4d0d6> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.clearpeople.com/insights/blog/2016/June/upgrading-to-the-latest-version-of-sharepoint | 2020-07-02T10:21:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655878639.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200702080623-20200702110623-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.944345 | 1,971 | [

I woke up this morning and had the strangest thing happen. I discovered, just this morning, five little growths at the end of each of my feet. I have been alive for at least 22,265 days, so one would think that I has seen the ten growths before. One would be wrong. These things wiggle at will and have one piece on top that is hard like plastic. Amazing what one discovers that others think is just obvious. My neighbor told me these things are called “toes.”
Oh, and I just read that Republicans have just discovered that Iowa congressman Steve King is a racist. Oh my! Who’d a thunk it? They came to this conclusion when King lamented in a recent interview why terms that he thought were innocent such as “white nationalist” and “white supremacy” have become offensive. His celebration of white supremacy is the straw that finally broke the elephant’s back.
Funny, I didn’t hear any condemnation when King traveled to Austria on a trip financed by a group with Nazi ties. He spoke to a group and said that Western civilization was on the decline and he feared that other races would overrun the majority white people of the world.
I didn’t hear any condemnation when King tweeted to endorse white supremacist Faith Goldy, an avowed white supremacist, for mayor of Toronto, Canada.
I didn’t hear any condemnation when King attempted to slap our immigrants in the face by sponsoring a bill to make English the official language.
I didn’t hear and condemnation when he sued the Iowa Secretary of State for posting voting information on and official web site in Spanish, Laotian, Bosnian and Vietnamese.
He claimed that Mexican immigrants kill 25 Americans per day. A big lie that he made up just to demean another innocent minority. Nobody said peep.
He asked police officers to racially profile brown people to weed out illegal. He made this request from the house floor. No condemnation.
He said that ALL the people coming over from Mexico are running drugs and have ankles the size of cantaloupes. No repudiation from fellow congressmen.
He invites far right Dutch politician, Geert Wilders to Washington and appears with him at the Capitol. Mr. Wilders is a very vocal anti-Islamists. Wilders has said that the Quran is worse than Mein Kampf.
King says that nonwhites contribute nothing to the culture of Western civilization.
King says, “We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies,” when hinting that people of color are becoming too populous in the world.
Mr. King recommends “The Camp of Saints,” a racist novel from 1973 about an invasion of Europe by nonwhite immigrants.
King tweets that “Mixing cultures will not lead to a higher quality of life but a lower one.”
To the Republican party King’s remarks have been like the tree that fell in the forest, if there was no one around to hear the tree fall, did it make a sound? Seems no one in the Republican party heard King and his bigoted self until the nation’s only Black Republican senator, Tim Scott, wrote an op-ed that appeared in newspapers nationwide. After that op-ed, suddenly other members of congress “noticed” Steve King’s bigotry. Amazing. They noticed something that was screaming “look at me” for years now. Maybe they will discover that the number one goal of the Republican party is to have a place where racist unite. Wow, what a discovery.
Oh my God, I’ve just discovered these five growths at the end of each of my hands. They look kinda like those toe things I discovered this morning. They are wiggly and have that plastic thing on top just like the toes. Wow, how long have those things been there? . | <urn:uuid:f88439e5-90e9-46bb-abcb-622f3a3b8fa4> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://mag.sometroradio.com/sometro-news/i/7258/dunn-said-it | 2020-07-04T03:32:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655883961.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20200704011041-20200704041041-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.969208 | 879 | [

My internal radar is screaming like a siren though as the mortgage market settles into an early return and lenders calibrate their risk appetites and lending volumes in response.
Positivity is a natural state for the mortgage market; we are a resilient bunch after all and have weathered many a storm in the 15 years I’ve worked in financial services, but the cloud that is overshadowing my naturally positive state feels potentially huge.
This cloud comes from the signals on how our economy and housing market might look next year.
I’ve seen various predictions that the housing market will recover over the next six to nine months, current house prices are holding steady and the pent-up demand from lockdown is working its way through the system.
But six months can be a long time in an unpredictable global crisis.
Employers cutting their cloth
We’ve already started to see the impact of big industries cutting their cloth to survive the pandemic with 600,000 jobs lost in the first few weeks of lockdown and many waiting for the furlough scheme to end before the next wave hits.
This wave is looking likely to be a severe and seismic spike.
The end of the government support schemes will be the turning or breaking point for many businesses of all sizes and the resultant spike in unemployment will be the biggest determining factor on the housing market and lending volumes next year and beyond.
The Institute of Employment Studies has reported that an additional 1.6 million claims for benefits have been submitted since March, the fastest rise since the depression of 1929.
Furthermore, economists are predicting up to 10 per cent of the UK workforce could be unemployed by next year, which is a level we’ve not seen since the mid-90s.
For lenders, the cost of funding and cost of capital are the two foundations which underpin everything they do and one of the biggest risks to both of those things is unemployment.
Consumers have already taken their first steps in paying down household debt, clearing a record £7.4bn of personal loans and credit card balances in April but with one in five workers surviving on reduced or furloughed incomes and unemployment starting to rise, it cannot be long before savings once again become a battle ground for retail banks.
With wholesale funding markets still only tentatively open this will undoubtedly drive up the cost of funds.
Reduced spending and lower personal debt also mean less income for banks, so the funding gap gets squeezed at both ends.
Since the global financial crisis, all lenders have seen intense regulatory focus on capital and risk management to ensure we can withstand another crisis and it is working.
Banks and non-bank lenders are in a much better place than ever before to steer themselves through this, but survival comes at a cost.
Capital buffers are there predominantly to absorb losses and as the unemployment rates and company closures inevitably translate to missed payments then arrears and possessions, managing and protecting capital becomes critical.
Early signs of belt tightening
One of the first steps in preserving capital is usually to reduce new lending either through tightening credit policy, reducing loan to values (LTVs) or lower loan sizes.
It feels like we’re starting to see the early signs of this as higher LTV lending is withdrawn and lenders look to protect themselves and consumers against a future fall in house prices.
I’m not an economist and I don’t have any better insight into the future than the rest of the market, but I am listening to my inner voice and it’s telling me to be prepared for tough times ahead.
We’ve proven before that we are resilient, and this crisis has shown that we can adapt quickly and transform our businesses swiftly when we need to.
So maybe this is a good time to harness those leadership skills and steer a path through whatever storms are coming our way. | <urn:uuid:4fd46eeb-cd38-48ab-923f-8fc70d2c3bc8> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.mortgagesolutions.co.uk/better-business/2020/06/22/were-seeing-the-first-steps-of-lenders-preserving-capital-harris/ | 2020-07-04T03:53:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655883961.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20200704011041-20200704041041-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.95524 | 789 | [

So....El Squeaky! The voice that ruins it......if you let it!!
My empowered self now knows that I am the powerful creator of EVERYTHING I have ever done/experienced.....yeeeehaaaaw! However, that was not always the case!!
The squeaky ruled my head, with an iron fist! I was the Queen of self-sabotage - if I could find a way to mess things up completely, then I would find it! Obviously, it wasn't like that 24/7, but I definitely had an alarm - like a siren - and I would hit that big button....regularly! Alcohol fuelled it...BIG time, even when I left the drugs behind me, alcohol was still a HUGE part of my life. I couldn't quite let go of the idea that it gave me confidence! I was always in fear of something (I talk about this in my earlier blog posts) and was, in my eyes, a victim of my life! Ten years working in a factory was a doubled-edged sword too - made me grow up fast but at the same time it fed the squeaky! Because everyone had an opinion about what I 'should' be doing!! There was one person I remember who worked in that factory, though, who got me and helped me to calm the squeaky, and it was her inspiration which created the 'man with the broom in my head'. It helped....a lot. There was still a huge pile of crap in my head and it took years to sweep it out - having a child helped that process!! - but I had a plan!!
I remember when I left all of that behind...the factory...my home....my friends, I left it to seek something new - no fear there because I wanted it and nothing was gonna stop me! so, hindsight tells me that I have that drive when I want it! If it's something I want with all my heart I will move mountains to get it! Which is what it felt like to finally get squeaky to shut the fuck up! Like moving a mountain 'I can movemovemove any mountain...dododododododododo......' there's a blast from the past!
How did I manage to get squeaky to submit? By *knowing that I created squeaky....like I created the man with the broom...like I created every single thing which happened to me....like I created the victim I played.....like I am NOW creating this me! In the absolute knowing that I made that there is infinite power! The power to create anything! Anything at all! Good, bad, indifferent! Ok, so knowing is empowering? Yep! How do you keep that frame of mind? That mindset? Good question, because days, weeks, months and years are not all the same...they change, we change and so does the Mother Earth!
I have to say, from my own personal experience, when that* realisation hit me it was massive and it hasn't gone away - when I had my Soul Realignment reading it unearthed things which explained everything which had happened in this lifetime and why I had chosen the things I had chosen, and I haven't looked back! To the point where I am now creating an online course in Witchcraft!!! Holy cow! Stepping into my empowered self, despite any doubt which might surface, despite the distant voice of squeaky which occasionally pipes up, is an incredibly amazing experience and I am not letting any voice, person, place or thing take that feeling away! I have even stopped drinking! I don't need it anymore! It's been (just had to count on my fingers there) 7 months!!
And that is why myself and Ian decided to create the online courses in Witchcraft ....because it empowers YOU! And we are passionate about it!! By helping to empower people, we empower the world...to think for themselves, to be the very most amazing them that they can be!
Bright Yuletide Blessings to you and yours!

Substance abuse, from underage drinking to the non-medical use of prescription and over-the-counter medications, affects the health and well-being of people of all ages across the nation and the communities we live in. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), about 10 million teens and underage adults drank alcohol during the past month, 23 million Americans abuse drugs and prescription medications, and 18 million Americans abuse alcohol.
While some people do recover from drug and alcohol dependence and go on to live a perfectly normal life, many alcohol and drug abusers aren’t so lucky. The best chance of leading a long, healthy, happy, and productive life is to prevent substance abuse before it starts.
First held in October 2011, National Substance Abuse Prevention Month was created to emphasize the important role of substance abuse prevention in both individual and community health and safety. The month-long event also celebrates those who continuously practice and promote prevention efforts and reminds us to remember those who lost their lives to alcohol or drugs.
Foremost, National Substance Abuse Prevention Month raises awareness of substance abuse and encourages prevention efforts by the public, both during the month and year-round. By focusing on prevention, we have a better chance of curbing alcohol and drug abuse and ensuring our teens and young adults live long, healthy lives free of substance abuse and the consequences that come with it.
You can help prevent substance abuse in your family or even your community by following these tips:
- Start an open, honest, and ongoing conversation with your children about the dangers of alcohol and drugs
- Share facts and statistics related to substance abuse on your social media account, blog, or website
- Host a neighborhood or community event designed to raise awareness about substance abuse and call community members and leaders to action in preventing such abuse
- Celebrate National Substance Abuse Prevention Month and the football season, an upcoming birthday, or even Halloween simultaneously by throwing a substance-free party

Alt Orgs - Sustaining the Human
WINNER OF CHANNEL 4 / BRIT DOC'S CREATIVE CATALYST AWARD
GREEDY CORPORATIONS AND SELFISH POLITICIANS HAVE FAILED US. BUT WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES?
With capitalism in crisis and the existential threat of catastrophic climate change, "Alt Orgs – Sustaining the Human" is part of PLANET CHANGE, an ongoing cross-platform media project and documentary in development about creating a sustainable future. Could innovative pioneers and alternative organisations such as co-ops and employee owned companies hold the key to a more sustainable planet? Are they flawed models that only work in some circumstances? Or do we need a whole new eco-system of innovation to faces the challenges that lie ahead?
Can we imagine compelling futures and initiative interventions to save our planet and create a paradigm shift for a more sustainable tomorrow? With scientists saying we already have 90% of the technologies to tackle climate change and a breakdown in post war democratic consensus, the need to understand how change happens takes on a new urgency. We need to engage with the challenge of building consensus and learning from best practice.

Great Italian Restaurant
$$, Italian Cuisine
Restaurant & Ambience
Portofino is one of our favorite Italian restaurants in Bermuda. Located in the City of Hamilton, Portofino with its little shuttered windows and traditional brick walls and hanging lamps, creates a wonderful Northern Italian ambience. There is an open dining area as well which gets crowded quite fast in the evenings, particularly on Fridays. If you want to take your dinner in this open area, I would recommend that you reserve your table and reach early at Portofino.
The restaurant has undergone a recent renovation and the interiors have been brightened up while maintaining its traditions. There are now some amazing photos put up on the wall. They have also steeped up the cuisine and introduced a new lunch and dinner menu. The atmosphere is convivial and bright, and the same time cozy and casual without sacrificing attention to detail.
You will often find yourself getting into a friendly discussion with other guests around you, many of whom are locals/ regulars here. Conveniently located near the center of Hamilton City, it has a clean and nicely decorated dining room, an outdoor patio and a separate take-out area.
Inside Dining, Portofino
Food & Drinks
We think pizzas are what define an Italian restaurant and the pizzas here are great. The crusts are perfect and they come in different varieties. Our favorites in pizzas are the pepperoni and artichoke variety, the egg plant pizza and also the Caprese which is topped with large shrimps, scallops, lobster meat, calamari, mussels, garlic, parsley and cheese. There are 18 varieties of 9-inch pizzas. So if you are a Pizza freak, this is the place for you in Bermuda.
The restaurant is also renowned for the two starters, calamari and garlic bread. There are also conventional Italian dishes at Portofino like the spaghetti pasta with clams, mussels, shrimps etc, the homemade Tagliolini and Tortelloni. The Risotto Milanese and pork sausage with grilled broccolini and fresh chili are also great. Prices are reasonable and portions are quite good as well.
Apart from traditional Italian favorites, the chef crafts delicious dishes from some of the freshest local ingredients. You can start with a Caprese salad which comes with a very nice dressing or the spinach souffle which is fresh and excellent.
If you do not want to miss out on the island's fresh sea fares, you have a wide selection on seafood as well on the menu. You can start with a grilled octopus and also try the seafood and pasta combo meal for entree. The homemade pasta is cooked al dente and the sauces are bright and delicious.
There is also The Classic Vongole pasta in white sauce. The Ravioli di Branzino is great too. It is a seafood ravioli and is perfectly prepared. We also tried the linguine with clams and that was quite nice as well. Another great choice is their signature Octopus and rice dish with its deep, rich sauce. They make some of the best gnocchi here. You can try the buffalo mozzarella bronzino with a side of homemade gnocchi with truffle. It is definitely something you would not like to miss.
Pan seared almonds crusted local tuna
The veal is excellent and you can try each of the Picatta, ossobuco and saltimbocca. In meat selection, you can also try the beef and pork meatballs that is served with spaghetti pasta and parmesan, the grilled lamb chop or the grilled rib eye steak. They serve gluten free pastas as well.
They also have a separate kid's menu with choice of entrees, sides and drinks. There are quite a few well-prepared and reasonably priced specialties, including classic minestrone, different kinds of spaghetti, freshly made pastas, including lasagna, ravioli, and cannelloni.
Portofino has a limited selection of Italian wines. You can order the carafes of house wine as they are well chosen.
We would suggest you leave room for dessert as they have some really good chocolate dishes like the chocolate lava cake and The Tiramisu is rich and beautifully prepared and so is the Italian fried dough. They also give complimentary limoncello and orange liqueur shots which is delicious.
Service here is gracious and helpful and the staff quite professional and competent. The owner/ manager also pays you a visit from time to time to check if you are satisfied with the food and the service. However, the waiters may not appear to be too friendly or attentive on those evenings when the restaurant is very busy while they manage the excited diners.
The new head chef Maximo Villagra, also comes out for a chat with the guests when he finds time from his kitchen. He is very passionate about his food and is happy to indulge in friendly discussions about the food and also the island in general.
Prices have gone up after the restaurant underwent recent changes. Portions especially for the pastas are quite generous. The restaurant has a separate take away section. You can try getting their "generous lunchbox" or any other pizza/ takeaway and enjoy it in the park around the corner.
If you have arrived at Portofino during a crowded evening, you need to be prepared to wait. It might be a test of patience for you. There is no lunch served at Portofino on the weekends. Portofino accepts credit cards. Reservations recommended. Dress code is smart casual.
This is a wonderful venue if you are craving for authentic feel of a fresh, hot and delicious homemade Italian meal, so much so that you might as well have been on the promenade in Capri ! The delicious food together with an environment that is romantic for couples yet great for families, makes the place a perfect choice.

Visitors' Reviews & Comments
Borgida Family (June 23, 2015)
Our family of 5 dined at Portofino this evening. We ate out on the front patio. Service was excellent. Very prompt and gave us great options and opinions on what to choose. We ended up eating mostly from the specials. The risotto was extraordinary. Very light and perfectly cooked. Scallops were also excellent. Veal parmisian was so tender you could cut it with a fork. The evening was topped off with the Tiramisu which was also excellent. No complaints whatsoever and reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food served. We would absolutely go back. | <urn:uuid:4a563758-f046-434f-ba1a-0c822a3bcdf0> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.bermuda-attractions.com/bermuda_00003b.htm | 2020-07-08T02:28:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655896169.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200708000016-20200708030016-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.958224 | 1,774 | [

The project started under tremendous time constraints given the budget cycle for Camp Roberts ending on September 31, requiring Yamabe & Horn to develop a comprehensive solution that was also cost effective, within a very short 2 month window so the project could be approved before falling into the next fiscal year.
With that compressed timeline, Yamabe & Horn developed a comprehensive solution that solved the immediate needs of providing safe access across the bridge, and also built in two overflow solutions that can handle the flow from a 100-year flood.
The first order of business was to determine what the best option for a new bridge was, that wouldn’t require a significant closure to the crossing, would be cost effective, and wouldn’t disrupt the environmental factors within the river, causing risk of delay due to its impact. The best solution ended up being a modular bridge system from ACROW that has been used in military installations throughout the world.
The bridge is actually termed a “temporary” bridge due to how easy it is to deconstruct and move to another location, but the quality and durability of the construction ensures it will be a solution that lasts for decades at Camp Roberts. Having it pre-constructed and engineered for handling heavy vehicle traffic provided significant savings to the Camp.
With the crossing design handled, the next order of business was to resolve the flooding of the road during high flow seasons.
Looking at the original riverbed pattern, it was determined that installing a secondary culvert north of the bridge would serve as the primary overflow route. Beyond that, a concrete mat was placed over the road to the north of the bridge, providing an armored flood relief that directed the water back to the riverbed from the edges and would limit flood depth to 6-inches during the most extreme river levels. This ensured that the road was always crossable, even during flooding.
The construction timeline was limited to 30-days to minimize the impact to the troops as the only access left to the training ranges was from Highway 101 through a north gate, requiring the posting of temporary guard staff. With a 22 day cure rate on the concrete that was placed on the road north of the bridge for the armored flood relief, the window was incredibly tight for construction.
Installation of the new bridge was done directly over the existing culvert system, with approximately 6-inches of clearance between the two structures, so the old, culverts can easily be removed should the environmental impact be deemed worthwhile.
The project was started the weekend after Thanksgiving and completed within 24 days, allowing the Camp to begin using it by the first week of January when troops returned from holiday. | <urn:uuid:839fb7a6-425a-4791-bacf-30d5df2ffab6> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://yandhengr.com/portfolio-item/camp-roberts-low-water-bridge-reconstruction/ | 2020-07-08T00:22:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655896169.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200708000016-20200708030016-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.972256 | 533 | [

This list shows the Netflix titles released on a specific day in South Korea.
Netflix released no movies and no brand new shows today. There were also 2 new episodes of existing shows added.
Hasan makes an impassioned plea — especially to Asian Americans — to take action in support of Black Americans following the killing of George Floyd.
Local newspapers provide vital information in trying times, but as Hasan explains, private equity firms are pillaging these important institutions.
Here are a few movies and shows you can't watch in South Korea without a VPN.

Over the years, it’s no secret that celebrities and social media influencers in the UK have received public shaming by the media for ‘breaching’ Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) rules regarding promotional posts on social media.
Just today, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has announced that it has secured formal commitments from 16 celebrities, including Rita Ora, Zoe Sugg and Michelle Keegan, to state clearly if they have been paid or received gifts from brands they endorse.
Although a welcome move for the industry, there is still a lot more work to be done with a whole raft of ‘shamed’ celebrities including the likes of Millie Mackintosh, Louise Thompson and more recently Olivia Bowen making headlines for breaching rules.
Blurring the lines between personal recommendations and paid advertising
In the Instagram boom over recent years, savvy marketeers are finding new ways to promote their brand or product by working with what’s known as “social media influencers”.
From models and reality TV stars to sports stars and bloggers, these influencers boast tens of thousands of followers, and more and more brands are building paid-for relationships with influencers in order to expose their products to thousands of followers.
However, this process poses an array of legal issues and new UK advertising rules (known as the Committee of Advertising Practice (or CAP) code) have been developed to control paid-for advertising and encourage influencers to be as transparent as possible when it comes to exchanging product exposure for cash.
Over the past year, and as this sub-sector grows rapidly, we’ve accumulated a growing list of celebrities, social media influencers, brands and agencies keen to secure our advice – whether that’s negotiating terms and conditions or secure their intellectual property rights – on the changes and to understand how to navigate the complex array of legal issues and new advertising rules.
The code explained
To simplify, there is a two-stage test under the code of influencer marketing which decides whether a post is deemed as an advertisement:
- ‘Payment’ otherwise known as consideration (this includes freebies); and
- Some form of editorial ‘control’ exercised over the content of the post
Both elements of the test must be met for a post to be considered an ‘advertisement’. When a post is deemed to be an advert the publisher (being the individual – usually the celebrity or influencer) must make it obvious within the post that it is an advertisement, and that they are being paid in some form for the post, rather than being presented as a personal recommendation.
This means including phrases such as; ‘#ad’ or ‘#sponsored’ within their posts.
Countries such as Australia and US have taken an even stricter approach to promotional posts and income received through advertisements. The Australian Taxation Office are set to introduce changes to the tax rules that will see celebrities, sports and social media personalities pay tax on all income made through advertising, sponsorships, free products and public appearances and promotions.
This tax is currently being avoided by many individuals, using methods such as licensing their image rights through separate legal entities. The UK does not recognise a right to your own image.
However, there has been common law examples where other intellectual property rights have been established to aid the protection of an image (protection not promotion).
Individuals can register their name and signature as a trademark; for example, David Beckham is registered as a Community trademark for goods including perfumes, sunglasses, jewellery etc. This piecemeal and incomplete protection for image rights provides individuals with the tools to control the use of their image through licensing and, as a result receive an income whether that be received personally or to a corporate entity that has been set up.
The future for social media stars
At present, HMRC recognises image right contracts (if properly structured) as a legitimate way to structure payments for endorsing products and services.
As common law and protection relating to image rights continues to develop around the world as part of the social media boom, it appears that the UK may be forced to follow suit with the US and Australia and clamp down on individuals from structuring separate legal entities to avoid tax implications.

Daryl Cagle has coined the term “Yahtzee” to refer to when 5 or more editorial cartoonists do the same gag. One he has ragged on in the past is using the “I’m with stupid” shirts on a cartoon. I have no idea who he is referring to..he he. In honor of that, I like to coin my own new phrase “Blue Ribbon.” When a cartoonist is the first to latch onto a new topic.
I did a 20 second search of google and haven’t found anything poking fun at the next set of conspiracy theory doomsday predictors – 2012. I saw the movie trailer this past week and thought it was well done. Then I made a trip to the bookstore and noticed all the books on the subject (even one that is a How To Survive 2012 book).
The basic gist is that there is a belief that because the Mayan calendar ends in December of 2012 that somehow they predicted the end of the world. One theory is that we will have a major catastrophe caused by the shifting of the North and South poles. I have even heard Nostradamus’ name thrown out. Didn’t he predict the end of days before during the turn of the century…didn’t come true. Sadly I think this will become worse than Y2K.
So if you see a 2012 editorial cartoon online somewhere that was published before mine, let me know and I’ll gladly hand over my Blue Ribbon. | <urn:uuid:66458178-fc58-4e8c-9c9b-44e6f0440c98> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://beartoons.com/2009/01/03/bearman-cartoon-2012-and-the-end-of-days-again/ | 2020-07-11T13:46:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655933254.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200711130351-20200711160351-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.962704 | 314 | [

30th April 2020
Construction and Shipbuilding Case Alert: prevention principle; delay and extension of time notices – Jiangsu Guoxin Corp v Precious Shipping Public Co Ltd EWHC 1030 (Comm)
A noteworthy judgment considering (1) the prevention principle, and (2) notice requirements for extensions of time under amended SAJ form shipbuilding contracts was handed down by Butcher J on 30 April 2020.
4 Pump Court’s Andrew Stevens and Gideon Shirazi acted for the shipyard in these s.69 appeals, arising out of a series of substantial multivessel shipbuilding arbitrations, against Roderick Cordara QC and Adam Board appearing for the buyer.
Construction and shipbuilding practitioners will note five key aspects of the decision set out in a note which can be found here.
Of general note to yards and shipbuilding practitioners, some of Butcher J’s findings differ from findings of Leggatt J (as he then was) on similarly worded SAJ form provisions in Zhoushan Jinhaiwan Shipyard Co Ltd v Golden Exquisite 1 Lloyd’s Rep 283.
The case turns on the particular wording of the relevant amended SAJ contracts. 4 Pump Court barristers have substantial experience of construction, shipbuilding and offshore disputes. If you have any queries about related shipbuilding or construction matters (on land or offshore) please contact Lucy Burrows, [email protected] or Freddie Hawke, [email protected].

R.LUM.R has finally released his much-anticipated alluring new single, “How This Feels” from his forthcoming debut album due this fall via Island Records. Although the production is dark and spacious, the verses are delivered with vulnerability. Falsetto creeps in at the top of the hook and he asks, “So, can we be real? About how this feels”. Musically, it dips from nocturnal R&B into a delicately plucked guitar-driven bridge. “How This Feels” builds on the momentum that R.LUM.R has gained since he burst onto the music scene with his debut single “Show Me.” “Frustrated” marked his major breakthrough in 2017 and endeared him to fans worldwide.
Over the years, he has learned a lot through Erykah Badu’s music and applied it to his career. He says: “I really believed in what Erykah Badu used to say about music, ‘Once I release it into the world, it’s no longer my story’. Once the audience listens to it, it’s their story. I can’t wait to see how people interpret it. There’s growth to be done, and you don’t have to be afraid of it.” Armed with nothing more than a guitar and a whole lot of ambition, he went from a single-parent household in Florida to touring the globe, gracing late-night television, amassing nearly 100 million streams independently, and inking a deal with Island Records by 2019. | <urn:uuid:8f401f2d-4160-4b9e-a0ab-867cb06d48f5> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://earmilk.com/2019/07/15/r-lum-r-pours-his-heart-out-on-how-this-feels/ | 2020-07-13T11:29:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657143365.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713100145-20200713130145-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.970421 | 345 | [

The initial test runs went smoothly throughout the Arizona desert. So we were ready to cross the border and head to Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point), Mexico. This is a crossing that we have used hundreds of times in the past 30+ years. Rocky Point has fallen into and out of favor of American tourists. But it has retained its reputation as Arizona’s beach! The highway is straight South from Phoenix. The crossing is at Lukeville. And the entire area is in the “free zone” so no vehicle paperwork is required (except Mexican insurance). Once the border crossing is cleared, it is about one hour to “toes in the sand”.
We had business to take care of this trip. We needed to have some welding done on a bumper and rear deck system (watch for a later post on this cool project). We also wanted to test the rig on the rough Mexican roads and the notorious “topes” (sleeping policeman, speed bump). And we wanted to arrange a “burial at sea” for the ashes of my mother and father. This would be a fun way to accomplish all of this and spend some extended time in Mexico!
Before we hit the road, Geneva decided to donate her hair. A trip to the hairdresser netted just about 11 inches of ponytail to send away to an agency called “Children With Hair Loss”. It is the second time she has done this. And it feels great to have less hair to manage while living in the camper.
Once we arrived in Rocky Point we set up camp in a quiet little RV park named San Rafael. With our camper in one space, and my sister and brother-in-law in the next space, we were the largest crowd in the place! All those other units you can see are empty! The large, flat spaces and full hook ups are hard to beat at just $18 per night. Did I mention that we are just a few steps from the beach? Once we were set up and settled in, we ran to the hardware store (ferreteria) for some parts. This VW kombi, van is nestled into the front pillars. It seems to be used as overflow storage for inventory. Later we went to the grocery store, where the man out front was soliciting donations for a local addiction care facility. But instead of just giving money, for a small donation we received a tiny assortment of spices. These were delicious on our breaded fish dinner that Richard cooked for dinner the next night!
While waiting to take the camper to the welder, the guys worked on the casket for the burial at sea. This little pine box held Pops ashes for almost 10 years. When Mom passed away we opened it and placed her ashes in there also. But with Mike and I living full time in the camper, it really wasn’t practical to save this any longer. We decided that we would find a way to send my parents to sea together, and Mexico (they loved visiting) was the place to accomplish that. Before we could drop this little casket in the sea, the guys needed to make sure it would sink swift and deep. So they drilled a few holes and then hung a very, very heavy chain off the bottom. The box became quite heavy, and would most assuredly sink to the bottom of the sea floor!
We secured a reservation for the four of us on the local Pirate Ship. The folks seemed shocked when we said we were willing to pay the full price for the minimum number of people, just so we could make sure to have the boat go. You see, if it didn’t fill their quota, they didn’t sail the ship. Our schedule was tight- so we agreed to pay $380 to conduct our ceremonial burial at sea on a privately chartered pirate ship! My folks would have loved it!
The day of the ceremony the weather was beautiful! We boarded the ship and discovered that three other guests were on board. The captain in full regalia and his scruffy, costumed crew greeted us and kept the margaritas flowing. It really was a perfect setting for our event! We waited about an hour (way out in the sea) and then dropped the casket. Moments after the casket disappeared beneath the waves, a pod of dolphins surfaced. They jumped and frolicked around the ship. Then the ship turned for the harbor. The pirate show began, and ended with a sword fight. Then the fireworks were set off. And as we entered the port, the sun settled into the horizon. It was light hearted, fun and a wonderfully symbolic way to release the ashes of Mom and Pop together!
Back at camp, we worked on a few projects for the rig. And the dogs caught up on their rest!
A few days later was the new celebration of Carnaval. Since Rocky Point hasn’t done this before, it was a fun but somewhat disorganized weekend. We did catch the parade one afternoon. We also visited the American Legion in Rocky Point, Mexico for an afternoon bingo session. And we spotted this sports car which was modified to haul a full sized canoe around! One of the most fun activities during our visit was a soccer game! The local team (Puerto Penasco Tiburones) was playing against a neighboring town. The stands were packed and the home team won the game. The beer vendor kept having to walk to the mini-mart to buy more beer (which he carried through the stands in a 5 gallon bucket of ice!) We had a great time in Puerto Penasco during this time. We will be posting about some of the welding and modifications we did.

New Bedford Black & Red Waxed Thread
17.5" x 5"
Paper, Cotton & Wax
This thread has been made in almost the same way since the late 1800s; we visited the factory and saw the Victorian machines that had been modernized to an extent, but not much. You see, the precise reason this thread is so good is the machines are not modern - not just to be cute but, technically speaking, contemporary machines run too fast! Despite being slow, every day they churn out 1,000 units of these babies, selling to countries all over the world, but particularly China. They can’t make thread as good! While commonly used for furs, waxed thread is also used for high-end hand finishing and anything else you need to stitch. The card design should be noted. The ring on the top goes on a nail and the perforation on the card is broken, after which - the thread being looped inside - the package is cut. This allows for a system where the thread is hanging and one strand can be pulled out at a time. It comes in 40 colors, however, we think red and black are all you need for your home alternation needs. | <urn:uuid:0c4c5bac-05c9-46b6-9d6b-e8794b003898> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://archive.kioskkiosk.com/products/new-bedford-black-red-waxed-thread | 2020-07-15T12:36:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657167808.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715101742-20200715131742-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.929386 | 348 | [

HOW TO LIGHT YOUR HOME AND PROPERTY FOR SECURITY
While outdoor lighting can certainly be enjoyed for its aesthetics, sometimes a more practical reason prompts someone to reach out - lighting for security. Most people don't know where to start; it can be daunting to try to design the best layout for your home and property. Luckily we've come up with guidelines to help you out.
Light the Perimeter
If you have a large home, you should consider lighting the perimeter of your yard or property, especially if there are lots of trees or a wooded area where someone could potentially hide. Lighting around the perimeter makes it difficult for a potential intruder to get onto your property, and even more difficult for them to get near your home.
Light the Driveway
Long, tree lined driveways are beautiful and a Southern staple, but have you ever pulled into a driveway that was so dark you had difficulty navigating your way around it? Not adequately lighting your driveway not only makes it difficult for your guests to journey across your property, but it also makes it much easier for an intruder to hide. If you have large trees along your driveway, down lighting is a great option. It creates a unique, soft atmosphere with relatively minimal pre-planning required. The light it gives serves as a guide to shed light on your property, deterring would-be intruders, but also simultaneously creates a warm, welcoming ambiance.
Light Doors and Entryways
If your front entrance is dark, up-lighting front columns or other architectural features will not only accent the beauty of your home, but will also add security. Being able to see doors and entryways prohibits potential threats and predators, and decreases the means necessary to commit a crime, discouraging would-be criminals from breaking into your home.
Light Weak Security Points
It helps to identify weak security points before beginning a lighting design. When adequate lighting around a physical structure is deployed to reduce the risk of an intrusion, it is critical that the lighting be designed carefully. Once you've identified the vulnerable areas of your home, you can thoughtfully add light in the places it's needed most. For dark paths and walkways around or between the house and garage, you can use path lights, down lights, or a combination of both to wash the area with light.
Intruders prefer homes that are easy to access, but a home that is beautifully lit each night will deter anyone looking to trespass onto your property. Let us show you how we can help you come up with a lighting design that is both beautiful and secure!
If you have any questions or would like to discuss your lighting needs, please feel free to request a free consultation online.

For many, the allure of California is fading and for some, Idaho is looking like the place to make their new home.
In 2018, 1 in 4 of people who moved to Idaho, came from California!
It’s no secret that price is one of the main factors contributing to this trend so let’s talk price.
How much does it cost to move from California to Idaho?
Quick Answer: The average cost to move from California to Idaho is $2,500-$5,450 depending on the size, route, and timing of the move. Hiring a professional moving company will be on the more expensive side. Renting a truck or using a moving container will save you money but also require a lot more work.
Get an even better idea of your particular moving cost using them moving cost estimator.
Ready to get a full grasp on the factors that affect the cost of your move?
Let’s dive right in.
|Moving Company||Moving Container||Freight Company||Truck Rental*|
*Rental truck estimates include fuel only. Additional costs such as lodging, food, and parking are not included.
Why the Wide Variation in Prices?
Truck rentals are the cheapest option but leave you with the full responsibility of packing the truck, driving the truck and unpacking the truck. You must weigh the savings of a DIY move against the stress and labor involved.
Inbound vs. Outbound Moving Demand Impacts Price
California continues to lose population. About 691,000 people left California to live in other states in 2018. In the last twenty years, California has lost more people to other states than it has gained according to the US Census.
Meanwhile, in its latest ranking of the best places to buy a house, Wallethub crowned Idaho’s capital, Boise, No. 1.
The surge of people moving to a state can positively affect your moving costs. For example, freight companies and moving companies transporting other customers to the same state are more likely to give you a lower shared rate.
The Cost of Moving Season
Along with inbound stats, the timing of your move can also affect your moving costs. Summer is moving season, which means a spike in moving industry costs from pro movers to truck rentals. If you can, plan your move during the offseason, such as the fall or winter months. Even early spring moving can save you money.
Here’s a snapshot that shows how the timing of your move from California to Idaho can make a difference in your bottom line.
- Professional movers, 5-bedroom house: March 1: $3,100-$7,150
- Professional movers, 5-bedroom house: July 1: $5,350-$9,500
Use the moving cost calculator to perfectly time your move for the lowest cost.
Our Top 5 Long Distance Movers of 2020
500 interstate moving companies, 3 months of research, cross-referenced reviews, license data, insurance data, and federal complaint records.
2020 Best Moving Containers & Storage Companies
We spent 260 hours researching moving container and storage companies to find the best prices, best customer service, and fastest deliveries so you don't have to.
The high cost of living, heavy traffic, and the growing threat of wildfires is driving residents from California.
Affordable home prices, low taxes, a strong job market, and high quality of life are all factors that make Idaho a more favorable state. Idaho experienced a rise in popularity among Californians, who made up 85% of the state’s total domestic immigration in 2016.
Best Places to Move in Idaho
As both the cultural and capital city of Idaho, Boise gets great marks for education (Boise State University), outdoor activities, and low cost of living.
Boise is also poised between a thriving urban center and the great outdoors. A twenty-minute ride takes you to white water rafting and skiing.
If you prefer a small town over the big city, then Moscow may be your destination. Small businesses and restaurants are the pulses of the community, so no big skyscrapers in sight.
The median home value is just a little over $200,000, so Moscow is great for starting a family. A robust school system adds to the benefits of a family-friendly town, boasting 27th best education in the state for public schools.
While you won’t find the vibe of big city life in Moscow, you definitely get great small-town neighbors in a stable community.
Pierce Park, Idaho
This suburb of Boise offers the feeling of a small town while existing a stone’s throw away from a big urban center.
While those who may find Moscow a little on the remote side, but still find the big city atmosphere too much, Pierce Park offers a better balance of the two. A ten-minute drive will take you to shops, parks, and family-friendly activities.
You can find low to medium cost housing in Pierce Park, so families on a fixed income will have no problem securing a home and managing a reasonable cost of living.
Depot Branch, Idaho
Much like Pierce Park, Depot Branch is a quiet suburb to the city of Boise. Median home values run a little over $200,000 and average rent is a little more than $800 a month.
Young professionals have populated the suburb as it allows relaxation from city life while still providing quick and easy access to jobs in downtown Boise.
For weekend fun and nightlife, Depot Branch has plenty of shopping, coffee shops, restaurants, and parks. A fairly low population also means stress-free commutes.
Sugar City, Idaho
Affordable housing is one of the primary draws for inbound moves to Idaho. Sugar City has some of the most affordable housing available.
The median home value of $168,300 is ideal for starter families. What is great is that there are no compromises for finding affordable housing in Sugar City. The schools are high ranking and the crime rates are low.
Like many locations in Idaho, Sugar City has that cozy small-town feel. The only downside is the absence of things to do.
A small sleepy town like Sugar City doesn’t have a lot of activities. But if you want a high-quality home at a low cost and don’t mind a short drive for family excursions, then Sugar City is the perfect destination for your move.
Sun Valley, Idaho
Sun Valley has become a mecca for the retirement community. This cozy and quant small town with low crime rates is also known as a thriving tourist destination.
Winter sports like skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing bring visitors from all over the world. This tourist economy is just one of the attractions. A clear night sky gives every resident a perfect view of the heavens on a regular basis, which for some matters more than having a Starbucks on every corner.
Idaho Falls, Idaho
The vibe of a college town is a big attraction for young professionals and even families who love diversity.
Idaho Falls offers all that along with affordable housing. Home to the University of Idaho, this center of Idaho academia also provides lots of entertainment from a major zoo, dining venues, movie theaters, and some of the best bowling alleys in the state.
The best part is that hosing costs float around $255,000 with even better offerings if you look hard enough. A mix of activities for everyone and a cultural hub continue to bring new people to Idaho Falls.
Another college town that offers many of the amenities of Idaho Falls with a slightly lower cost of living is Pocatello. You can find a home for roughly $133,000 and if you don’t mind some DIY remodeling you can find even better deals and more spacious homes that are fixer-uppers.
Pocatello is a safe and secure place to live which attracts new families. Home to Idaho State University, Pocatello provides the best benefits of a college town at an affordable cost.
Pocatello continues to bring both young professionals and starter families to the community.

Although most of us wait all summer eagerly for the snowfall, the children miss out on some exciting outdoor activities and end up getting bored at home. Facing the same dilemma last winter, I came up with the idea of adding a pop of colors to the sparkling white snow carpet in my backyard. And you would be astonished how it was accomplished using a couple of kitchen ingredients.
Your Own Homemade Snow Paint
What you need
- Food coloring (the more shades you have, the better)
- Spray bottles
Making the Paint
- Fill each bottle with water and add the food dyes.
- Close the lid tightly and shake the bottles properly.
And you are done!
Now clad the little artists in their fluffy warm clothes and let them squeeze dollops of colors on the heaps of snow.
Within an hour, the snowy backyard was bursting with colors and the kiddos demanded me to refill the bottles as they were yet to finish making their favorite Olaf snowman and coloring it.
Some Cool Recipes for indoor Snow Painting
Why just color the hard-packed snow when you can make snow glitter paint in the comfort of your cozy home? All you have to do is combine equal parts of shaving cream (permission needed from hubby), and glue in a bowl till you get a thick gooey mixture. Sprinkle some sparkles on it. Leave it in the hands of the kids and enjoy watching their winter artwork.
Another way to whip out some puffy snow paint is mixing 1/2 cup of flour with the same amount of salt and water. With a brush or a sponge, you too can paint a beautiful snowy scene on the window panes or pour the paint into a spray bottle and decorate your Christmas tree, covering it in snow (not literally).
While my outdoor winter wonderland was glimmering with colors, making the white snow paint was also a delight. All through the holidays, I was glad the children enjoyed playing in the snow and honing their artistic skills as well. | <urn:uuid:beb1a4e5-bcf5-46e8-95bf-d93c21c5aabe> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://momcaster.com/2016/05/13/make-snow-paint/ | 2020-07-04T09:48:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886095.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200704073244-20200704103244-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.949692 | 416 | [

Los Angeles, June 23, 2016__In an online vote, the public picked its top three entries in a competition to design prefabricated wood structures for Jade Valley Winery outside of Xi’an. Called “Napavilions,” these small constructions are designed to serve as vineyard retreats where guests and workers can take naps or enjoy views of the dramatic landscape. The competition was organized by the University of Southern California’s American Academy in China, which creates cross-cultural collaborations between the United States and China.
With nearly 19,000 votes cast, the most popular entry was “Rejuvenate Solipsism,” a twisted sexagonal structure made of wood plates and metal rod joints. Designed by faculties from Daffodil International and Bangladesh Universities in Dhaka, this pavilion plays with notions of solids and voids by creating a round space for napping inside an angular enclosure.
Second place went to “PreHome,” a sleek, wood-frame building designed by The Primitives Group, a firm based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
The entry with the third-most votes was “Spirit of a Tree,” a bent-bamboo structure designed by Yaojun Huang and Zi Liang from Guangdong Province.
Although the popular-vote winners will not be built this year, they will be promoted on the spamall.com website to give their designers greater visibility and worldwide attention. They will also be announced at a Nap Festival on July 23 hosted by Qingyun Ma, dean of USC’s School of Architecture and owner of Jade Valley Winery.
A professional jury of Dean Ma, AAC director Clifford Pearson, USC professor Gary Paige, and AAC research fellow and critic Michael Sorkin selected four other entries to be built at Jade Valley. Three of these will be built this summer and one at a later date.
AAC and Jade Valley also commissioned seven established architects—Lawrence Scarpa, Gary Paige, Scott Uriu, Geoffrey von Oeyen, Noreen Liu (NODE), Tiantian Xu (DnA), and SKEW Collaborative (H. Koon Wee and Eunice Seng)—to design Napavilions, which will be built this year and next.
“The goal of the Napavilion competition is to challenge designers to find solutions that have clear ideas behind them and can accommodate an uncertain site, since they may be built in other locations after Jade Valley,” said Dean Ma. For more than a decade, Dean Ma has been treating Jade Valley as an on-going experiment in the integration of Culture, Agriculture, and Nature, what he calls C.A.N. It has garnered much attention locally and internationally as an emerging force in agri-tourism and cultural tourism. According to Dean Ma, he aims to “define and redefine the landscape, combining nature with the man-made, while using architecture in a minimal, strategic way.” Artists and designers from around the world are welcome to build works at Jade Valley and take residence there.
Established under the auspices of USC’s School of Architecture, the American Academy in China (AAC) strives to promote dialogue around design, the built environment, and the arts. The AAC engages teachers, students, scholars, practicing architects, artists, filmmakers, planners, designers, business people, government officials, and the public in interdisciplinary explorations of the needs and challenges facing China in an era of rapid change.

Remember the good old days of horror films where the stories were original and they did not rely on gore or people being stapled together to scare you? These types of horror films in Hollywood anyways do not get made. That is until M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, ) got it into his head to make a throwback horror film. The genre is so messed up that as he has gone around doing press for the film he shies away from calling it a horror film.
After directing the wonderful film The Sixth Sense many film fans have been waiting for M. Night Shyamalan to follow it up with another strong film. It has been a long wait. A long wait in which we have had to suffer through such awful films as The Last Airbender, Lady in the Water and After Earth. He has divided his time equally between fantasy and horror films with little to no success. It got so bad that we said that Unbreakable was a decent film because we liked his work so much. Things were so bleak that at a certain point I was wondering aloud how this guy got any money to make more bad films that did zero at the box office. Then along comes The Visit in which he both directs and wrote the screenplay. What has been most frustrating about the guy is that he has some solid ideas but the way he brings them to screen has been clunky to say the least. With his fourteenth film he finally lives up to his potential.
Part of the reason why this film works is that it is small and doesn’t try to shoot for the stars. Sometimes Shyamalan’s were so exaggerated in regards to scale that they turned you off from the get go. This one is a much smaller tale and stays that way. A single mother (played by Kathryn Hahn), who does not even get a name in the story, decides to send her two teenage kids, Becca (played Olivia DeJonge) and Tyler (played by Oxenbould), to her parents’ remote country home where she spent some time growing up. It turns out to be the longest and hopefully scariest week of the young kids’ lives.
Grandma (played by Deanna Dunagan) and Grandpa (played by Peter McRobbie) have not been close to their grandkids due to a fight between them and their daughter leading to an estrangement. Becca is an aspiring filmmaker and spends the week recording everything that is going on. Tyler, who wants to be a rapper, just spends his time acting like a jerk. As time goes on strange things begin happening and the teens find out that Grandma has some mental illness that causes her to bang on walls and scratch at doors as soon as the sun goes down and Grandpa is not better telling them tales about a white creature with yellow eyes. They tell their mother and she just dismisses them. Plus she is too busy to pay attention to them as she is focused on spending some time with her boyfriend. The teens are going to have to rely on themselves to get out of this jam…alive.
Good horror films usually have a couple of common characteristics. One is decent acting. Not Oscar worthy but good enough that it is not distracting. The success of this film lies on the shoulders of the two teens and they prove themselves charismatic, natural and watchable. Two, they have solid stories with several twists to keep the viewer hanging. Of course, this one does as that is a trait of Shyamalan films. This time out he does not allow the twist to overwhelm the film. The focus is not solely on the twist. Three, is that the tension usually plays on fears that most people suffer from. This film uses young people’s fear of old people well.
Shyamalan shows much confidence and good decision making in the telling of the tale. He has also managed the near impossible – for found footage and shaky camera work not to annoy the bejesus out of me. With films like the one, several that only see the big screen at film festivals like Fantasia and a recent goodie, The Conjuring, fans of horror have something to cling to lately. And a film that will make you jump…a couple of times. | <urn:uuid:8d493049-4244-44ab-bed4-dbea8cc7678a> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.orcasound.com/2015/09/14/the-visit/ | 2020-07-06T02:40:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655890092.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200706011013-20200706041013-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.985235 | 871 | [

Last week on the Kevin M.D. medical blog Kyle Varner, M.D. wrote a response to the NRA’s #StayInYourLane tweets (example below). And the #ThisIsOurLane movement of doctors and surgeons posting gory images from emergency rooms to push anti-gun politics following the Philadelphia mass shooting this October.
Dr. Varner explains his position and backs it up with facts:
As a practicing physician, you might be surprised to hear that I side with the NRA.
There’s something fundamentally different between diagnosing and treating a disease in a patient and recommending a new law because you treat people injured by guns.
While I can sympathize with how sad it is to see one shooting attack after another in the news, the fact remains that gun violence is currently at a historic low in the United States. The FBI reports that gun violence was actually at its all-time highest in the mid 1980s. The rate has gone from 2,400 shooting deaths per 100,000 people in the 80s down to 600 per 100,000 in 2016. That means shooting deaths actually went down 75 percent in the last 30 years!
But whether or not gun deaths are going up or down, the key problem is that doctors have been disguising partisan political proposals as medical recommendations.
Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves. https://t.co/oCR3uiLtS7
— NRA (@NRA) November 7, 2018
The idea of informed consent is paramount to medical practice. As doctors, we should never force our therapy on our patients. Not only is this immoral, but the results can be deadly.
— Jonathan Hersch MD (@herschmd) December 1, 2018
He concludes on what it means to be a healer:
As healers, we should always reject the use of violence. Even if we think a law might make the world a safer place, it remains immoral for doctors to advocate new laws that will be enforced with violence. Let’s stay in our lane and focus on healing.

Hans Peter Feldmann would not describe himself as an artist. He is a compulsive collector and appropriator of found images and everyday ephemera.
His works have an aesthetic and conceptual simplicity. An interest in the formal language of typology is played out in pictorial assemblages of the overlooked and mundane; strawberries, shoes, seated women in paintings, lips, romantic seascapes, kitsch floral photography. His witty play with the traditional aesthetic sees collections of classical paintings of nudes and portraits daubed with black crosses, red noses and cross-eyes.
Feldmann intentionally bypasses the rules of the art market and its high culture by making unsigned, undated works and limitless editions. Similarly, he doesn’t give titles to any of his works or exhibitions, thereby allowing the works to speak for themselves. In doing so he resists commodification and commercialization– making it purely about the value of the art itself. He is a democratic believer that art cannot be owned and what we project onto a work is what lasts.
After winning the Guggenheim’s 2010 Hugo Boss Prize, Hans-Peter Feldmann famously cashed his $100,000 check and pinned it in dollar bills to the museum’s walls, raising questions about the value of art. By assembling images and objects in unlikely or un-noteworthy combinations, Feldmann reveals their embedded emotional associations.
He is known for his examinations of seriality in daily life, as in his 1973 work All the clothes of a woman (photographs of every item in a woman’s wardrobe) or 2005’s One Pound Strawberries (each fruit that constitutes a pound).

F.O.D. | Duffel, BE
Since the release of their debut EP ‘Dance To This!’> in 2011, F.O.D. has become a household name in the Belgian punk rock scene. The band built a steady live reputation with their catchy melodies, much in the vein of what their legendary predecessors such as Green Day, Descendents, Lagwagon and Bad Religion have delivered us over the past few decades. Their first video, the instant Pop Punk anthem ‘Carry on’ became a classic among the scene.
Seven years and three full albums later, F.O.D. has toured around the world, with highlights such as a touring Canada, Japan, Europe and supporting SUM41, Lagwagon, Satanic Surfers, No Fun At All and Frenzal Rhomb . F.O.D.’s steady rise brought them playing main stages at major Punk rock festivals in Europe such as Groezrock(2x), Punk Rock Holiday, Jera On Air, KNRD-Fest, Brakrock,…
F.O.D. delivers catchy, melodic punkrock-songs with loads of harmonies, straight from the heart! Music can be heard in discography below.
While singer Hans Roofthooft released a solo album early 2019 (no punk rock), he also kept writing for the band, working on their widely anticipated fourth full album!
“Sleepville” will be released on 20 March 2020: a story telling album that takes its listener on a journey through time. Each record will come with an actual book that has its own artwork, which contains the story of the quiet town of Sleepville and its inhabitants. In their announcement the band writes that they will be ignoring the boundaries of punk rock for this release. If that does not spark your imagination, I don’t know what will…
Hans Roofthooft: Singer-guitarist
Stijn De Waele: Singer-backings
Pierre Janssens: Bass guitar
Lode De Feyter: Drums
F.O.D. shared the stage with
National names: Gwyllions, Janez Detd, Flatcat, CPX, Cornflames, The Kids, Belgian Asociality, the Octopussys, Gino’s Eyeball, The Rocket, Face The Fax, Arizona, Generation84, Homer, Diablo Blvd, Set Things Right, This Kid, Off The Cross, Young Hearts, Altitude, The Priceduifkes, For I Am … and many other great bands!

Some State Lawmakers Want To Halt Gambling Expansion
Rendell Wants To Legalize Slot Machines At Racetracks
As Gov. Ed Rendell pushes to legalize slot machines at the state's racetracks, gambling opponents in the Legislature have unveiled a plan to halt any expansion of gambling.
Rendell said legalizing slot machines at the state's four racetracks could generate $500 million a year, money that the state can use to fund public education and lower property taxes.
With a vote expected in the next few months, gambling opponents want to put a stop to the issue. That's why a group of lawmakers who oppose gambling unveiled legislation to halt any gambling expansion for 18 months, so that the Legislature can study the impact slots would have not only on the economy, but also on society in general.
The lawmakers said studies show increased gambling leads to more gambling addictions, crimes and bankruptcies.
They are also worried that lawmakers will not only be asked to approve slots this spring, but also other forms of gambling, including video poker machines in bars and riverboat casinos.
"This is a flood. This is not a trickle over the dam. This is a flood where the pro-gambling advocates want everything in one hour, and I think we need to say halt, and see what impact this is going to have on our citizens," said Rep. Paul Clymer, a Republican from Bucks County.
Rendell said slot machines, like those at tracks in West Virginia, will help the state's horse-racing industry, which loses gamblers to states with slots.
A spokeswoman for the governor said the slot issue has been studied extensively, and a moratorium to allow for more study is not necessary. Rendell wants lawmakers to approve the slots bill by the end of June. The spokeswoman said Rendell opposes video poker, casinos and other forms of gambling. | <urn:uuid:b1b399da-c05b-48df-9688-f8c925ed2abc> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.wgal.com/article/some-state-lawmakers-want-to-halt-gambling-expansion/6172277 | 2020-07-08T03:24:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655896374.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20200708031342-20200708061342-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.95333 | 386 | [

I bought (i.e. ordered) one from a local dealer here in Oslo, I paid
about $120 at the time, a few years ago.
Anyway it is so small and cheap that I'd simply order one from the US:

The man who caused George Floyd’s death is the only one who is responsible. Everyone else has nothing to apologize for; nor does any other cop. Today, I debunk the myth of racial injustice in the criminal justice system and prove that, if anything, the opposite is true. It’s time to flatten the curve of violence across the board that harms all Americans. And those most harmed by the anti-police and anti-prison agenda will be law-abiding black citizens.

Today’s post is completely floral, jeweled up and girly. For some reason I am always drawn to floral motives and when I saw this dress & sunnies I knew I had to have them. Of course it is definitely not the outfit that I would wear on a daily basis. But sometimes I just need extraordinary looks. It will definitely be something that goes on repeat in my closet. (more…)
Morning my loves! After a couple of rainy days we were pretty lucky to enjoy a nice portion of sun. As I was missing blogging loads we decided to shoot the new OOTD. And I have more great news in store for you today – the collaboration with awesome brand from Berlin I LIKE PAPER! I am always really excited to work with German brands (sounds very patriotic indeed ;-))) mainly because of that artistic something and absolutely great quality! (more…)
Morning my lovely readers. You must be wondering why I didn’t post anything in the last two days… Well I must admitt it is a really crazy time right know! Chasing from one project to another I have a real time deficit. Sometimes I wish a day had 40 hours instead of 24 LOL… I spent the last two days in France working on a very interesting project which is a Top Secret right now and I unfortunately can’t reveal it. But I have prepared a lot of nice stuff to show you in the next days including the brand new news concearning new collections of great brands.
We are now working with 150% capacity (LOL) to edit the latest shots and I am pretty sure it is worth surfing on skinnycature in the next days.
Well todays I have a new OOTD I called winter denim. I am absolutely a sucker for nice denim items and an awesome denim outwear could be a great decision for this winter. I opted for a casual version of the look wearing also boyfriend jeans and beanie but still couldn’t refuse wearing heels and ladylike MANGO clutch 😉
So ready for denim winter… what about you guys?!
GOLD. What a great Fall we have this year. Even if today we say goodbuy to the barelegtemperatures I show you these images shot yesterday. It is amazing to take time and enjoy the gold of the fallen leaves and ripe grapes in the vineyards! I opted for a romantic and soft outfit as you see. My new Cream Cardigan and feather skirt helped me to express my mood. I am really in love with pastell colours this season and you’ll definitely see more posts with this Cardigan soon. Hope you have the great time and you are so ready for Halloween!!! And for all of you my German readers – HAPPY WEEK END as well (as we have the official holiday tomorrow in Germany)!
MAKE YOUR OWN. Morning sweeties! I must admit the more I shoot & wear Brit-Stitch bags the more addicted I become! Today I have something special in store for you! Brit-Stitch has just launched their Make Your Own feature that allows the customers design their own bags!!! This customisation service is absolutely unique and very easy to handle. It’s absolutely funny and creative. You can choose your colour combination from bright to pastell and when you are ready you receive your bag in a very short delivery time. But I think it is much better if you play with the Dashboard of the feature to see what you come up with 😉 /here/.
As for my choice today – I decided to spice up my outfit with the Full Pint Buckle Skydiver! I need even more colours in Autumn – so my neon skirt and blazer with neon detail was absolutely right decision. Don’t you think so guys?! And more over I think it’s a perfect outfit for college 😉

arabs voice This guy went from inmate to hermit
An escaped prisoner who had been on the run from police in China for 17 years was finally tracked down by authorities — living in a tiny cave in the mountains, according to new reports.
Song Jiang, 63, busted out of prison in 2002 after being jailed on human trafficking charges and had eluded police ever since, the New Zealand Herald reported Monday.
Cops finally found some clues earlier this month in the mountains behind his hometown in Yunnan Province, after they decided to take a new look at the cold case manhunt.
A police drone spotted a blue piece of steel among the trees in the forest — and came in for a closer look to find garbage and debris around the entrance of a small cave, the Herald said.
Yongshan police officers made the climb to the site and found Jiang — disheveled and struggling to communicate after years of isolation — living in a cave of just over 2 square yards.
Jiang later told police he survived by collecting water from a nearby stream and cooking food over small fires, according to the report. | <urn:uuid:f2d8b9ee-117a-4a32-820b-256c293d8d2d> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.arabsvoice.com/escaped-prisoner-found-living-in-cave-in-china-after-17-years-on-the-run/ | 2020-07-11T21:03:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655937797.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20200711192914-20200711222914-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.972864 | 228 | [

ASCAP Launches First-of-Its-Kind Comprehensive Wellness Program to Help Music Creators Be Their Creative Best – ASCAP Members Will Exclusively Benefit From Innovative Wellness Services, Recovery Support, Nationwide Events and Content Initiatives
December 10, 2019
ASCAP Takes Action to Support Music Community Based on Findings From Its Newly-Commissioned Annual Music Creator Wellness Study
NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2019 -- ASCAP, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, announces the official launch of the ASCAP Wellness Program to meet the evolving wellness needs of music creators. With this new program, ASCAP becomes the first US performing rights organization to focus heavily on its members’ physical and mental well-being to support their creativity, life balance and longevity.
“Creating music is an all-consuming passion and a labor of love, but you’ve got to take care of your instrument — in the case of music creators, your body, mind and spirit,” said ASCAP Chairman of the Board and President Paul Williams. "ASCAP has a long commitment to supporting the livelihoods of its songwriters and composers. With our new Wellness Program, we're taking that one step further. If creating music is your life, we are here to provide the resources you need to be at your creative best. This is just the beginning, and we will roll out more services in the months to come.”
As part of ASCAP’s commitment to the needs of its members, the organization commissioned an extensive research survey to be conducted on an annual basis: “The US Music Creator Wellness Study.” The inaugural 2019 report revealed that music creators:
- Have health and wellness needs that significantly exceed those of the general population
- Do not feel that they have good access to wellness services
- Are almost a third more likely than the general population to feel that their wellness has a major impact on their career
Fueled by the findings of the study, ASCAP has developed the Wellness Program (www.ascap.com/wellness) to include:
Innovative Wellness Services
ASCAP members will receive a range of benefits including access to and significant discounts on innovative services that support mental health, mindfulness, exercise and nutrition. Key strategic partners in the ASCAP Wellness Program include:
- Aaptiv: music-powered, coach-guided digital audio workouts
- BetterHelp: easy, affordable, anywhere access to therapists and mental health resources via your digital devices
- Daily Burn: access to thousands of workout videos available from your home
- Motiv: a fitness and sleep tracker housed in a ring
- Shine: a self-care app with easy exercises and a supportive community
The ASCAP Wellness Program also announces a strategic partnership with MusiCares®, a charitable arm of the Recording Academy®, that provides critical assistance to music people in times of need. Together with ASCAP, MusiCares will launch recovery-focused support groups in multiple cities as well as a digital support group that offers services to creators in any location. MusiCares will also serve as an official advisor on ASCAP’s recovery and mental health programs.
Given music creators’ focus on both community and their health (see survey results below), the ASCAP Wellness Program will host wellness events for ASCAP members throughout the year in multiple cities. Wellness Program events will launch at the organization’s New York City headquarters on January 6 with a “sound bath,” an immersive group meditation experience that utilizes sound from a range of instruments to benefit a participant’s mind, body and spirit. Similar events in Los Angeles and Nashville will follow.
Additionally, the organization is planning a dedicated wellness programming track at the upcoming 2020 ASCAP Experience in Los Angeles, April 1 – 3. It has also hosted a number of other activities over the past month to preview the ASCAP Wellness Program, including a post-ASCAP Country Music Awards "ASCAP x Barry's" workout in Nashville (featuring an all-ASCAP playlist), and “Mind Your Business: Mental Health in the Music Industry,” an ASCAP Urban panel discussion in LA.
As part of the effort, ASCAP will launch a new wellness content initiative, including today’s debut of a bonus episode of VERSED: The ASCAP Podcast featuring an interview with Paul Williams on the subjects of recovery and well-being as it relates to music creators. The ASCAP Wellness Program will also introduce #WellnessWednesday on all of its social media presences, featuring advice, inspiration and ASCAP members sharing their wellness activities.
ASCAP members are already voicing their enthusiasm for ASCAP’s commitment to their well-being through the Wellness Program:
“My wellness is more than being in the best shape I physically can be in for running around on stage each night,” said Michael Franti, a musician, humanitarian, filmmaker and activist. “It’s equally about eating well, getting enough sleep and being able to grow with the challenges that life on the road brings, without becoming so stressed that I can’t show up for my wife, kids and touring family in the way that I want to each day. Throughout my adult life I’ve battled depression and anxiety, and the music business has no shortage of pressures that can drag me down if I don’t have healthy habits in place. I’m super excited and grateful that ASCAP has made a commitment to helping artists be mindful stewards of their own bodies and hearts, so that they can be the best musical messengers of optimism, wellness and healing possible.”
ASCAP’s 2019 US Music Creator Wellness Survey found that:
- Music creators are 31% more likely than the general population to say that their health and wellness have a major impact on their careers
- While creators are three times more likely than the general population to feel creative, inspired and brave, they are two to three times more likely to feel alone, disappointed and ignored
- As a result, music creators place high importance on:
- Mental health and balance:
- 83% more likely than the general population to say “meditating or practicing mindfulness” is very important to them
- 55% more likely to say “therapy or coaching for self-improvement” is very important to them
- Exercise: Creators are 31% more likely than the general population to say that “exercising” is very important to them
- Community: Creators are 42% more likely to say “feeling connected to others” is very important to them
- Mental health and balance:
- Music creators are four times less likely than the general population to feel like they have good access to services that can help with substance abuse and other addictions
ASCAP’s 2019 US Music Creator Wellness Study was conducted by Whitman Insight Strategies in Fall 2019.
The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) is a professional membership organization of songwriters, composers and music publishers of every kind of music. ASCAP's mission is to license and promote the music of its members and foreign affiliates, obtain fair compensation for the public performance of their works and to distribute the royalties that it collects based upon those performances. ASCAP members write the world's best-loved music and ASCAP has pioneered the efficient licensing of that music to hundreds of thousands of enterprises who use it to add value to their business - from bars, restaurants and retail, to radio, TV and cable, to Internet, mobile services and more. The ASCAP license offers an efficient solution for businesses to legally perform ASCAP music while respecting the right of songwriters and composers to be paid fairly. With more than 750,000 members representing more than 11.5 million copyrighted works, ASCAP is the worldwide leader in performance royalties, service and advocacy for songwriters and composers, and the only American performing rights organization (PRO) owned and governed by its writer and publisher members.

Visiting a GP in Ireland is a time-consuming business, and many of us put off going because it can be incredibly difficult to find a suitable appointment around school runs and work.
In fact, according to a new Amarach survey commissioned by online GP service VideoDoc, many people simply google their symptoms to avoid the such a hassle.
It is also incredibly expensive; the average spend per person per year on GP visits is €171 with one in five spending in excess of €250.
But it's not just the cost of the doctor; the survey also found that there is an associated cost to parents for childcare when visiting the GP, which is on average €50.
Leinster-based respondents needed to spend the most on childcare to visit their GP with the cost averaging €75, compared to the average of €35 in Munster.
Many of these GP visits are for straightforward matters like repeat prescriptions or cold and flu symptoms, with 51% of all Irish adults confident that they already know what medical assistance they will get before going into their GP.
Those that need to take time off work to visit their GP estimate that they spend 6 hours on average doing so. Employees aged 25 - 34 are slightly above this average.
“These survey findings show that people can often find the traditional GP service inconvenient and expensive. Our experience of general practice is that about 70% of all GP visits can be treated online. VideoDoc offers a service where patients can simply log on from wherever they are and be treated within minutes” said Mary O’Brien, CEO at VideoDoc.
An annual VideoDoc subscription with unlimited consultations and no hidden fees costs €35 for an individual and €110 for a family of four (two adults & two children). A single VideoDoc GP consultation is €20.
All VideoDoc GPs are Irish Medical Council registered with at least two years service on the Specialist Register and have been fully trained to provide remote health services.

Fallen York City firefighters' loved ones pursue legal action
The loved ones of two York City firefighters who died in the line of duty last month are pursuing legal action in a wrongful death suit against a York City-based engineering firm.
Attorneys for Casey Flanscha, widow of Ivan Flanscha, and Allison Hoffman, fiancee of Zachary Anthony, filed an intent to sue C.S. Davidson Inc., according to court documents filed earlier this week.
The notice, called a praecipe, was filed Tuesday, April 10, in the York County Prothonotary's Office.
The filings list Casey Flanscha as administrator of her husband's estate and Hoffman as administrator of Anthony's estate. The praecipe does not list details or allegations but instead puts the defendant, the court and the public on notice that a civil lawsuit is expected to be filed.
Ivan Flanscha, 50, and Anthony, 29, died after a wall collapsed March 22 while they were at the former Weaver Piano & Organ Co. building at 127 N. Broad St.
Ivan Flanscha had been with the department since 1999, and Anthony had been there since 2010. They were among a group of four firefighters in the building dealing with hot spots from a fire the day before. The two other firefighters suffered injuries that were not life-threatening.
C.S. Davidson issued a statement Thursday, April 10, saying that the organization was called to the site after the collapse that trapped the men. No employee had set foot inside the building until then, the firm said.
It is unclear who called the firm to the site. Philip Given, chief of staff for York City Mayor Michael Helfrich, said he could not comment on that.
A message left for C.S. Davidson president and CEO Kerryn Fulton seeking additional information was not returned by about 1 p.m. Thursday.
It is not immediately clear why the two women are pursuing legal action. Stewart Cohen and Joel Rosen, two Philadelphia-based attorneys representing the women in the case, did not immediately return a message seeking comment Thursday.

With the slaughter at Charlie Hebdo and at the Hyper Cacher supermarket, France has experienced a heightened level of Islamic terrorism since the beginning of the year. Yet it is strangely reluctant to tackle the phenomenon, which threatens the whole of Europe.Interesting that the bishop has a dislike for places to eat. Obviously, that's one dhimmi of a Christian, but one who's also against people having a great place to dine for happiness. You can see pretty well why people could become so disillusioned with the Church.
In the past Islamic terrorism has mainly, but not exclusively, targeted Jews. Mohammed Merah had killed two French soldiers and wounded a third before murdering Jewish children and teachers in Toulouse.
French security services are working round the clock to prevent further attacks, meeting with little to no success. Only recently they prevented large-scale attacks on the country’s vulnerable churches.
However, with radical organizations working within the large Muslim communities, which are to be found everywhere now, and with a Muslim population estimated at six million, security services have their work cut out.
The French government has chosen a rather circuitous approach to the problem and set up a framework of dialogue with its Muslim minority – or, more precisely, with its religious leaders. The first meeting was held in Paris on June 14 – under the auspices of Prime Minister Manuel Valls and his minister of interior, Bernard Cazeneuve – with some 150 Muslim dignitaries, led by Dalil Boubakeur, president of the French Council of the Muslim Faith, whose creation in 2003 was promoted by then-president Nicolas Sarkozy.
The council has failed dismally to fulfill its intended goals – namely, promoting dialogue with non-Muslims and addressing Islamic terrorism – and has lost much of its prestige.
In the course of several seminars, the dignitaries were asked to formulate their demands, and they asked for more protection for their mosques, a stronger government response to what they called Islamophobia, the building of more mosques – 5,000 were mentioned – as well as more mundane subjects such as a greater supply of halal meat and imposing a special tax on that meat to finance building and other community needs.
On the latter point the minister of interior stated that France, being a secular country, could not do so, but would see what could be done regarding the building of mosques as well as taking steps to ensure greater security for mosques and other community infrastructures.
One of the participants suggested turning churches into mosques; the outcry was such that he quickly retreated. Yet the bishop of the city of Évry went on the record to say that he would rather see a church become a mosque than a restaurant. This readiness to forgo centuries-old traditions raised quite a few eyebrows.
Worse, there was no mention of anti-Semitism, one of the major problems in Europe today. The growing number of anti-Semitic incidents in 21st-century France has led more and more Jews to flee a country where Jews have been living for over a thousand years, yet France resolutely refuses to recognize Muslim anti-Semitism as well as renewed Christian anti-Semitism.I wonder if Sarkozy now regrets promoting a council that's only self interested? If he's ever reelected to office, he'll have to do a lot to apologize for any missteps he made when he was president. | <urn:uuid:05a8ee42-dbb3-4aa0-a241-28470a3d2605> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://astuteblogger.blogspot.com/2015_06_28_archive.html | 2020-07-15T17:33:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657170639.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715164155-20200715194155-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.981618 | 689 | [

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, MB
More than a million Manitobans have been trapped at the edge of their driveways this winter unable to see clearly enough beyond the huge mounds of piled up snow.
“I’ve been nosing my car forward a few millimetres a day ever since the middle of December,” said Portage man Dick Smythe. “But I still can’t really get a clear view…so I’m stuck.”
Mrs. Wiebe of Altona, who’s been parking on the street since October to avoid this catastrophe, says she can’t believe all the cars still idling on the edge of their driveways.
“No wants to move,” said Mrs. Wiebe. “I mean, if it was me, I’d get cabin fever sitting there for four months, but, hey, to each his own…”
Mr. Smythe says he once got his wife Doris to stand in the middle of street and look out for traffic so they could get to church.
“That was Christmas Day,” said Smythe. “We haven’t left the property since.” | <urn:uuid:9a0db4c3-5071-43c4-b2c0-388001c8ad63> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://dailybonnet.com/one-million-manitobans-trapped-in-their-driveways-due-to-obstructed-views/ | 2020-07-15T19:15:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657170639.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715164155-20200715194155-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.968037 | 264 | [

If you read a health and fitness magazine or a nutrition article, you will probably read about gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat that gives dough that elasticity it needs to be formed into such delicious things as bread. For some people, however, gluten might as well be poison. They have a hypersensitivity to gluten, called Celiac Disease, and eating gluten can be very, very painful. And it can be very serious. According to the Mayo Clinic website, this is what celiac is all about:
“If you have celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine. Over time, this reaction produces inflammation that damages the small intestine’s lining and prevents absorption of some nutrients (malabsorption). The intestinal damage can cause weight loss, bloating and sometimes diarrhea. Eventually, your brain, nervous system, bones, liver and other organs can be deprived of vital nourishment.”
It’s a serious thing.
However, there are those who advocate a gluten-free diet even if you are not sensitive to it. Their reasoning ranges from “if it’s bad for some people, it’s probably bad for everyone” to “you’ll lose weight and feel better”. The evidence is still hit-or-miss when it comes to gluten-free diets. Some evidence shows that it’s good. Other evidence shows that it’s no better than a regular, well-balanced diet.
Still, there are people who go with the gluten-free suggestion, but they have no idea why. Jimmy Kimmel sent his cameras out to ask people if they knew what gluten was. Here is what happened:
Of course, we don’t know if the producers of the show edited out all the correct answers and we’re seeing only the funnier wrong ones. But this is pretty much par for the course based on my experience. Someone pushes some diet fad, and a lot of people go with it without knowing why they’re going with it. After all, “gluten” sounds unnatural, so why eat it, right? | <urn:uuid:8de7deb7-c07c-4228-a4cb-9a6aad64faa1> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://epidemiological.net/2014/05/08/are-you-gluten-dough/ | 2020-07-15T17:12:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657170639.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715164155-20200715194155-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.955517 | 447 | [

TOM GREEN COUNTY: More representative County Parks Committee to meet Monday
The Tom Green County Parks and Open Space Advisory Committee has grown in size, representation and diversity leading up to its third meeting Monday.
Committee members will provide input and ideas, which Naismith Engineering, Inc. — an Austin company hired by the county for $26,335 — will use to create a proposed master plan addressing the needs and development for all eight county parks. The draft version of the plan will be presented to the Commissioners Court for approval at a later date.
Originally, the committee was made up of seven members — all from Precinct 4 — and all the meetings were held in Christoval. This caused some heated discussions at the Commissioners Court in recent weeks.
In addition to the seven, it now includes two representatives from Precinct 1, one from Precinct 2 and two from Precinct 3 for a total of 12 members.
The third meeting is also at a more central location — the Stephens Central Library in downtown San Angelo.
The objectives of the meeting, according to Tom Brown from Naismith, are the following:
- 'Review the initial comments on deficiencies in the parks and the brainstorming session that followed. If the Committee wishes to expand the list we can do it at this time.
- 'Review of the draft goals and objectives. Again, these are drafts based on my interpretations of what was conveyed at the public meetings. The Committee will have an opportunity to agree, change or adopt them at this time.
- 'At previous meetings there was considerable discussion about problems with park users. I have developed some talking points on potential rules and information that could be posted at each of the parks. These are meant to be discussion points that the Committee can review and have the opportunity to comment and determine if they want to keep this concept in the plan.
- 'Review of the existing park inventory and conditions survey. During this agenda item we will have discussion on each of the parks and make suggestions on what activities, improvements or amenities the Committee would like to see in each of the parks. During this Agenda item the Committee should feel free to identify if there is a need for additional recreational resources in the area.'
After the Advisory Committee goes through the agenda, there will be hour set aside to take public comments.
The Commissioners Court plans to officially recognize all the members at its meeting Tuesday — the day after the advisory meeting — and make the committee finally official.

Comment On Administration Support For The Juvenile Justice And Delinquency Prevention Reauthorization Act
The Justice Department on April 15 sent a letter to Senator Patrick Leahy in support of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Reauthorization Act. Leahy introduced the legislation in March 2009, and the Judiciary Committee favorably reported the bill in December.
“The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act is intended to keep children safe and out of trouble, and also to ensure that they have the opportunity to become productive adult members of society. In working hard on past reauthorizations of this legislation, Senators have learned the importance of balancing strong law enforcement with effective prevention programs. This reauthorization bill pushes forward new ways to help children move out of the criminal justice system, return to school, and become responsible, hard-working members of our communities. I know that Attorney General Holder shares these priorities, and I look forward to working with him to see this important piece of legislation passed in order to secure the safety of our communities and increase the opportunities for our young people to lead productive lives.”

We all love a good deal and finding new ways to save money. But tread carefully because often what looks like a sure, inexpensive thing is anything but. Examples range from tinkering with your car to taking care of your sick cat, from bulk spending to putting a deposit on a dress and letting the store keep it for a time.
Here are some examples of what appear to be guaranteed cost busters, but in the end, you may find yourself paying for your wayward frugality.
Raising your insurance deductible
It sounds smart on the surface, but the increased financial exposure makes this a bad idea, said Andrew Schrage, founder of personal finance and education blog Money Crashers.
You may be saving $10, or even $100 a month, but that won’t begin to pay for fixing your wrecked Camaro, or your flooded house—and your rates will likely rise.
“An unexpected event can force you to pay hundreds or thousands more, depending on how much you agreed to increase your deductible,” Schrage said.
Living paycheck to paycheck provides you with no cushion if a financial emergency crops up—and they have a habit of doing just that. Without a cash reserve, you could be forced to take a high interest loan or put the expense on a credit card, which may carry high fees. It’s best to hold some money back from each paycheck and put it in a savings account so you are not caught in a costly financial bind.
Skipping the doctor, dentist to avoid copays
A recent Consumer Reports survey found 43 percent of respondents did just that, exacerbating their health problems and leading to hefty medical bills.
To curb the pain in your mouth and wallet, shop around for a smart bargain, consider visiting free and low-cost clinics, or check out a local dental and hygienist school for free or discounted care.
Going the DIY route
Whether it’s painting the living room yourself or putting a new carburetor in your car, you should think twice; you’re looking at twice the time and a nonprofessional job. The end result may mean the expense of a car that still doesn’t start and a room that needs a twice over by a skilled professional painter. Yes, you can do many jobs yourself, but it is often the best route to leave the big ones to people who make their living taking care of these projects.
Turning to layaway
If you think you are going to save money shopping, don’t look to layaway.
Layaway isn’t a debt-reduction plan; it’s a marketing ploy that gets insecure shoppers to think they’re saving upfront when they’re really racking up late fees and interest. Remember, stretching out payments isn’t responsible if you can’t afford them in the first place.
Dining on McNuggets
Fast food sure tastes great and is cheap, but it is often high in calories, fats, oil and other artery-clogging contents. Bankrate.com found 72 million Americans could save on doctor’s visits, health insurance premiums and groceries if they simply ate better.
Overspending on bulk items
One of the biggest mistakes people make when choosing to buy in bulk is that they think they’ll use something up, but they end up throwing most of it away, said Parker Hurlburt, vice president of research for Acosta, a retail sales and marketing firm.
Another mistake, whether at a warehouse club or your local grocery store, is not comparing sale prices to bulk prices.
Shirking Fido’s health
Possibly the worst mistake pet owners can make is not coughing up cash for their pet’s preventative care.
Avoid the heartache—and cost of an ER visit—by brushing your pet’s teeth, splurging on the healthier, vet-recommended food, and following up on routine check-ups and exams.
Your pet will thank you.

For Takis K. Marangos & Sons Ltd, quality lies at the centre of everything they do. It is the factor that has contributed to the maintenance of its leading position in the market for so many years. The importance ascribed to quality is imperative for the management team of the company, which ensures that it is safeguarded at all levels of business; from design to production and from installation to constant follow-up support.
The quality of the finished product is determined from the outset by the strict selection of the materials and components that are going to be used. Solid timber is fumigated in special, advanced-technology machinery and then controlled by an electronic hydrometer to ensure the right balance of moisture for each type of wood, which is a necessary coefficient for the optimum quality of the raw material.
Another factor in ensuring high quality is the constant supervision of the work by the production and technical department managers. Monitoring the appropriate use of the materials and guiding the craftsmen towards the proper execution of each work secures the excellent quality of the finished product.
Quality guarantees are also offered with the know-how and expertise, not only of the design department which, with its creativity, reflects well beyond the expectations of clients, but of the technicians as well, who have the background for proper installation and faultless maintenance of the product.
Takis K. Marangos & Sons Ltd has been accredited by the English organisation IFC Certification in accordance with the European standard EN 1634-1, for the quality of manufacture and installation of its fire doors.

Within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework, your child will be learning skills, acquiring new knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through 7 areas of learning & development.
Children should mostly develop the 3 prime areas first. These are:
• Communication and language
• Physical development
• Personal, social and emotional development.
These prime areas are those most essential for your child’s healthy development and future learning. As children grow, the prime areas will help them to develop skills in 4 specific areas. These are:
• Understanding the world
• Expressive arts and design
These 7 areas are used to plan your child’s learning and activities. Children in the EYFS learn by playing and exploring, being active, and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outside.
For further information, please see the parent's guide to the .
The Early Years Foundation Stage and Early Learning Goals
The setting provides a wide variety of resources, planned to encourage all children to access a balanced curriculum both indoors and outdoors.
We believe children learn best when they are healthy, safe and secure, when their individual needs are met and when they have a positive relationship with the adults caring for them.
Therefore, we have adopted the four principles of the Early Year Foundation Stage (EYFS).
The EYFS is about adopting a principled approach to ensure the best for each individual family and we at Chevening School Nursery have embraced this approach. These principles are divided into four themes:-
The Unique Child – every child is a competent learner from birth, who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured. At Chevening School Nursery we commit to focus on inclusion for all, safety, health and well-being.
Positive Relationships – children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents/carers and a Keyperson. As a setting we commit to working in partnership with parents/carers to support learning and promote/ develop the role of the Keyperson.
Enabling Environment – the environment plays a key role in supporting and extending the children’s development and learning. We focus on observation, assessment and planning for the individual child and the learning environment and work closely with multi-agencies to ensure continuity and ease transition into school.
Learning and Development – children develop and learn at different rates and all areas of learning and development are equally important and interconnected.
Some of the activities enjoyed: Dance, music and gym in the school hall, playing in the field, cooking, gardening, library, dentist and farm trips, walks, feeding the ducks, water play, painting, treasure hunts and forest school activities. | <urn:uuid:b0dddc72-2a05-47ee-a305-ca60f03d9457> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.cheveningnursery.com/eyfs | 2020-07-06T10:05:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655890157.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20200706073443-20200706103443-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.93856 | 554 | [

The world of cycling is always expanding and the introduction of E- bikes created a whole new horizon line. The dreaded steep climbs have now become just as obtainable and enjoyable as the fun flowing descents. A ride that used to take an entire Sunday can now be accomplished in a short afternoon. Whether you are looking to extend your ride, need a little help to conquer the hill, or decided to ditch your car as a primary form of transportation, one thing is for sure, every E-bike ride ends with a huge smile on your face.
We currently live in an incredible era of mountain biking. The last ten years has fostered an endless number of innovations in the cycling industry. Modern mountain bikes are truly incredible machines that can climb with ease, descend with confidence, and can spend all day on the mountain. At their core, mountain bikes provide one thing, excitement! No other vehicle or activity allows you to explore and have fun quite like a mountain bike. It’s the perfect tool to experience nature. No motor or crowd, just you and the bike.
The introduction of gravel bikes took the cycling world by storm. Combining the ride characteristics of an efficient road bike with the off-road capabilities of a mountain bike, gravel bikes allow adventurers to continue their ride past where the road ends. The ability to dabble in both worlds of cycling quickly made gravel bikes an instant favorite amongst cyclists. A long ride on the road can now be mixed with a fun adventure on the trails. Gravel bikes deliver multi-surface performance in all conditions.
We all love the defying push of wind against our bodies while we pedal faster. It creates a weightless feeling that only gets better the faster we go. It feels like flying with the hum of our tires being the only reminder of our connection to the ground. In the United States alone, there are over four million miles of roadway. There is truly no limit to where you can ride and explore. Whether you want to ride for fitness, fun, or adventure, the addictive weightless feeling of riding a bike never disappears. | <urn:uuid:80f2b6d4-9826-49a9-bd11-fa0467f138e5> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.jensonusa.com/Landing-Pages/2020-summer-bike-guide?pn=11 | 2020-07-06T09:03:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655890157.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20200706073443-20200706103443-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.947243 | 422 | [

European roe deer is a very well studied species, because of its crucial role in European ecosystems and because it is a very good model species, both for ecological and evolutionary reasons. However, the time might have come for synthesising our knowledge into a wider and more complex picture, that would allow to clarify ecosystemic relationships (e.g., resource balance), reveal evolutionary patterns (e.g., animal performance), and underpin predictions on future scenarios (e.g., climate change effect). Recent technological advancement, such as GPS collars and activity sensors, allowed to obtain more data and of better quality. However, existing tools and procedures of analysis may under-exploit the potential of those data. Everybody agreed that a spatial database populated with data from different areas would strongly support the attempt to develop a complete picture of roe deer biology, within a ecological and evolutionary context. At the same time, it would offer the opportunity to join the data of different research groups into a well supported repository, with transparent accessibility.
These are the premises that brought us to develop the EUropean ROe DEER Information System (EURODEER). It is first of all an open network of researchers who collaborate sharing data and knowledge to produce better science. It is based on a spatial database that stores shared movement data and a wide set of ancillary information on roe deer to investigate variation in roe deer behavioural ecology along environmental gradients or population responses to specific conditions, such as habitat changes, impact of human activities, different hunting regimes. EURODEER group is trying to fully explore the opportunities given by the new monitoring technologies for conservation and management at both local and continental scale. The spatial database, built upon open source software (mainly, PostgreSQL + PostGIS + R) and hosted at Fondazione Edmund Mach, can be connected to a large set of client applications (GIS, web interfaces, statistics) to help storing, managing, accessing and analysing tracking data from several research groups throughout Europe.
The ultimate goal of the EURODEER project is to investigate ecological aspects that require the collaboration and data sharing of multiple institutes and researchers. Joining knowledge and information from different study areas and research projects open up many perspectives for scientists at both global and local scale. The final goal is to produce knowledge and in particular to support a science-driven sustainable management of environmental resources and conservation. In a nutshell:
The activities of the project that underpin the intense and motivating collaboration between researchers based on the shared data and tools can be summarized as follow:
- Effectively store and archive roe deer location data across Europe
- Encourage collaborations to work on several aspects of animal ecology jointly
- Inspire discussions to identify research gaps
- Promote accessibility of large scale datasets to address research questions at multiple spatio-temporal scales, as approved by data owners
- Promote education of young researchers, particularly on topics related to data management, movement ecology and collaborative science
- Create a larger network of collaborations with other projects, scientific communities, environmental managers
- Promote an open approach to science, which include both data sharing and use and development of open source tools
What is specific to EURODEER is that the main goal is not to share data per se or to make them available to the general public but rather to create a scientific network to investigate biological aspects that can be disclosed only analyzing data coming from different study areas and with the support of field knowledge gained by researchers working with animals in different conditions. As a direct consequence, data store in the database are species specific and are not limited to tracking data. Additional information like capture, study area, population, management regimes etc. are not seen as metadata of tracking data but as proper data sets with lots of information standardized among groups. Ultimately, the database and related tools for data management and analysis, are one of the tools needed for collaborative science but it is not the final output of the project.
A bit of history
The EURODEER project had origin when 2 groups (Research and Innovation Centre, Fondazione Edmund Mach, Italy and Laboratoire de Biométrie et Biologie évolutive, Univ. C. Bernard Lyon 1, France) started to discuss common problems in GPS data management, while envisioning the advantages of data sharing on a common and efficient platform.
The experience gained at Edmund Mach Foundation through the project ISAMUD as considered the technical basis for the development of a new common software platform. Several other research groups soon indicated interest in joining the discussion on the opportunity of a common European roe deer data repository, and a common meeting in 2009 held at the Edmund Mach Foundation in Italy was the benchmark of such an innovative database.
Look here for the updated (long!) list of research groups that are joining the project now.
The EURODEER team is working on a lot of activities to extend the network and improve the database in terms of both data and tools, while EURODEER partners are working on several projects to exploit the potentialities offered by the shared database. At the moment, our resources are focused on the following tasks:
- analyze data and produce science to advance knowledge on ecology of a large vertebrate species across a large range of its distribution;
- standardize data collection and analysis protocols, to enhance permanency of data and results;
- extend the EURODEER group to include new study areas in different environmental conditions and to take benefit form the experience gained by other research groups;
- include new GPS data in the database, as well as VHF and activity data, to offer a more robust sample of data that can be used for the analysis;
- enrich the tracking data with complex meta-information (e.g. individuals, populations, captures, hunting regimes) to enrich the interpretation of movement data;
- continue to integrate into the database European/global environmental data sets (e.g. MODIS NDVI, morphological parameters from digital elevation models, land cover, meteorological information both from meteo stations and remote sensed data) to analyze animal-borne data in their ecological context;
- searching for dedicated funding to give a long term perspective to the project;
- improve the technical skills of all participants in terms of database use and management to make more effective the use of the EURODEER platform;
- join a wider network of environmental repositories connecting (e.g. global and climate change, international e-infrastructure, multi-species tracking data repositories) to integrate wildlife tracking data in a broader environmental perspective;
- disseminate our experience, approach and tools to a wide scientific audience;
- disseminate results and derived information to the scientific community and to general public.

Photo of Raytheon Beech 1900D Multi Mission Surveillance Aircraft by Algerian Air Force.
In 2000 Algeria ordered 6 of the larger 1900D’s to meet a requirement for a Multi Mission Surveillance Aircraft (MMSA).
Mounted under the fuselage in a large fairing is the HISAR. The aircraft are also equipped with Sky Guardian ESM and Wescam Type 16 FLIR and it is believed that a SIGINT function will also be added at a later date.
The Beechcraft 1900 is a 19-passenger, pressurized twin-engine turboprop fixed-wing aircraft manufactured by the Beechcraft Division of the Raytheon Company (now Textron Aviation). It was designed, and is primarily used, as a regional airliner. It is also used as a freight aircraft and corporate transport and by the United States military and other governments. | <urn:uuid:e56a3ff9-548e-4dcb-a2fc-dcf3f5da1cac> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://defence-blog.com/news/aviation/photo-of-raytheon-beech-1900d-multi-mission-surveillance-aircraft-by-algerian-air-force.html | 2020-07-08T11:35:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655896932.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200708093606-20200708123606-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.943749 | 179 | [

After a delay with its launch, Apple's HomePod speaker is finally available for preorder through the apple store app in the U.S., U.K., and Australia. Because the HomePod is launching over a month after it was supposed to, Apple confirmed that it's being released without certain features.
The HomePod will ship without AirPlay 2, which allows playing different songs simultaneously in different rooms, as well as the ability to pair one HomePod with another. If you really want a HomePod, however, don't let the lack of features dissuade you, as Apple promises the features are "coming this year in a free software update."
Despite what it lacks for now, the device is still very cool. The speaker is powerful with excellent bass, and through Apple Music and Siri, it can learn your taste in music. It's also an intelligent home assistant, capable of handling everyday tasks and controlling your smart home.
Here's a look:
Shipping will begin on February 9th and will cost $349—a price that's significantly higher than its rivals. The standard Google Home costs $129 and Amazon Echo is $99.99, just to put things into perspective.
But is it worth it? You'll have to decide that for yourself. Click here to preorder your HomePod in either white or space gray. | <urn:uuid:4c563b7c-91e5-4787-9265-1bf1454e0d7d> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.techwalla.com/13709321/apples-homepod-speaker-is-now-available-for-preorder | 2020-07-08T10:45:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655896932.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200708093606-20200708123606-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.974222 | 274 | [

Hollywood scion, career-longevity goddess, scene-stealer supreme: After more than four decades in the business, Laura Dern, 52, is more in her skin than she’s ever been — and on screen too, including an electric supporting turn in Noah Baumbach’s festival-season darling Marriage Story and a reprisal of one of literature’s most beloved mothers, Marmee, in December’s Little Women.
Recently, she spoke to EW about both those roles, as well as why she misses Big Little Lies’ Renata, how the world has (and hasn’t) changed since Enlightened, and why she’s still looking for her own Norma Rae.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson are the couple disintegrating at the center of Marriage Story, but you get so many scene-stealing moments as Scarlett’s character’s divorce lawyer, Nora.
DERN: I mean, as an actor, you can’t dream up speeches that delicious! It’s just crazy amazing. But let me just say, I’ve never cried so hard as when I first read the script. It wasn’t just the emotion of reading the story, it was the perfection of the screenplay. [And] being a parent, I understood this unbelievably sad, broken moment.
Nora does have some superficial similarities to Renata on Big Little Lies — they’re both high-powered woman with great wardrobes, taking care of business. But then you pretty quickly start to see that they’re really not the same at all.
Yes! Renata’s all about being liked, and that’s what I love about her. She’s also a rager, and complicated. This woman Nora, she plays it very carefully — she’s a total pro, she’s not rabid or losing her s–t ever. So I find it interesting [that people think that]. But if the comparison is me wearing high fashion, then I’m really comfortable continuing to play those women, because it’s awfully fun. My use of clothing in the past has been incredibly utilitarian, from like, hiking boots to playing a homeless huffer. [Laughs]
You’ve gotten to play so many great meaty roles over the years. Has that gotten harder or easier at this point in your career?
Oh my god, I thought harder. And I was scared. Hopefully, there’s been this paradigm shift in every industry now where everyone’s voices matter, and women can be in charge, women can be paid the same, all of those fights. But in terms of [acting], also that women can have ownership of complicated, raw, ugly, beautiful, sexualized — or asexual! — damaged, vulnerable characters. And actresses don’t have to be typecast because of one role, or because of ageism.
You’ve also worked with pretty much a murderers’ row of directors from Spielberg to Scorsese, David Lynch, Robert Altman, Alexander Payne, and you’ve dabbled in directing shorter things. Do you think you’d ever want to make your own feature film?
When I became a mom — and I think remembering the glory and the trauma of being a kid in the movie business — I’ve tried my best to figure out if I’m gonna hurl my passions into that, while raising these amazing creatures that live in my house. [Daughter Jaya, 14, and son Ellery, 18, with her ex-husband, musician Ben Harper.] But now that they’re getting older I would love to consider that. I know I could never do it unless it’s a story that really feels like home to me.
Your show Enlightened had a cult two-season run before it was cancelled in 2013, but your character Amy, that “woman on a verge of nervous breakthrough,” feels so prescient now. How do you think it would play in this moment?
You know, when it came out and we first started doing press, a lot of journalists were like [baffled voice] “What’s wrong with Amy? Do you like playing a bipolar character?”
I was like, She’s not bipolar, she’s just angry! And nobody else seems angry, you know? About Monsanto and big Tobacco and ownership of all our representatives in D.C. Now I just feel like we’re all Amy — we’re mad as hell and we’re not gonna take it anymore, we don’t know where to turn, we don’t know if our voices matter but we’re gonna use them, and we know it’s a shit show.
So I just feel like yeah, her rage is our rage. In fact you’re inspiring me, I gotta reach out to HBO and tell them they should show it right now. [Laughs]
Little Women has been filmed more than a dozen times, and it’s so beloved. What did you want to bring to Marmee in Greta Gerwig’s version that maybe hadn’t been seen before?
For me, Greta has made a film about what it is to find your muse, to be an artist. What it is as a woman to be free and independent in your choices, in your story, despite what the world or what family or what culture at that time, or any time, is saying to you.
Because girls now — I mean, I’m sorry to break it down, but we can watch this movie and go “Oh it’s a period film where girls are sort of told who they’re supposed to be.” You think social media isn’t doing that to our girls right now? It can be the 2000s or the 1800s, it’s all the same thing emotionally.
A different kind of corset, I guess.
Well exactly! And in terms of Marmee, the answer would be that she was essentially Louisa May Alcott’s [own] mother. She was America’s first social worker and a deep progressive, and that piece of the story I just hadn’t felt in this way, even though it’s been acted so beautifully [in the past]. She’s every bit of the Marmee we read about, and hopefully not saintly. Hopefully very human.
Your dance card is pretty full already, but is there anything that excites you and maybe scares you, something you haven’t done yet?
A musical. That would be really inspiring and scary and wonderful. But I was also raised on the films that made me want to bring social justice to storytelling… Network, Norma Rae, Silkwood. [I want to bring] that longing for a better world to someone whose voice doesn’t matter and then suddenly has to matter — my own Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
Yeah! [Laughs] Yeah.

What Men Need to Know
What is Andropause?
Andropause, the male equivalent of menopause is real, although more subtle than menopause. Estrogen levels in women decline abruptly after menopause. With men, there is a gradual decline in androgens, the male sex hormones, usually starting in the 40's. Along with the decline in androgens is a rise in SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), which are proteins that bind to testosterone that limit the amount and effectiveness of this hormone as men age. As with the age-related decline of human Growth Hormone (hGH), the loss of testosterone contributes to the familiar "pot belly" and declining muscle tone in middle-aged men. The symptoms of the male menopause include a waning interest in sex, difficulty in having and maintaining an erection, and decreased sexual satisfaction, as well as fatigue, depression, irritability, aches and pains, and stiffness.
The Andropause Evaluation
The Male Hormone Balancing Program begins, like all our programs, with an evaluation. This includes a blood draw to determine
Each of these hormones plays an important role in how you are feeling, looking and performing; equally important is the relationship among them. As men age, hormonal changes occur that perceptibly alter physical, sexual and cognitive functions. The outward appearance of a middle-aged man shows increased abdominal fat and shrinkage of muscle mass; a hallmark effect of hormone imbalance. Decreased sense of well being, sometimes manifesting as depression, is a common psychological complication of hormone imbalance.
Until recently, these changes were just accepted as part of "growing old".
A significant amount of data has been compiled indicating that many of the conditions that middle-aged men begin experiencing anywhere from their late thirties through their fifties and beyond-including depression, abdominal weight gain, and loss of sexual desire and the ability to perform. Prostate cancer and heart disease are directly related to hormone imbalances that are now correctable with currently available drug and nutrient therapies. Even greater improvements can be made when these hormone and nutrient therapies are combined with lifestyle changes in diet and activity.
Why We Measure Testosterone and Estrogen
The most significant hormone imbalance in aging men results from a decrease in free testosterone, while estrogen levels remain the same or increase. As men grow older they often suffer from the dual effects of having too little testosterone and too much estrogen. The result is a testosterone/estrogen imbalance that directly causes many of the debilitating health and performance problems associated with normal aging
One of the reasons this happens is that as men age, testosterone is increasingly converted to estrogen. One report showed that estrogen levels of the average 54 year old man are higher than those of the average 59 year old woman. This is precisely why taking testosterone by itself, without monitoring the other hormones measured in the Andropause Program, is usually not a good idea.
Testosterone may convert into even more estrogen ( a process called aromatization) thus potentially making the hormone imbalance problem worse. Too much estrogen and not enough testosterone increases your risk for a heart attack or stroke. High levels of estrogen have also been implicated as a cause of benign prostate hyperplasia. Your Physician will explain to you the exact nature of any imbalance you may have in your testosterone/ estrogen profile, and will show you how the Andropause Program will improve it.
Testosterone and Libido
Sexual stimulation and erection begin in the brain when neuronal testosterone-receptor sites are prompted to ignite a whole cascade of biochemical events that involve testosterone-receptor sites in the nerves, blood vessels and muscles. Free testosterone promotes sexual desire and facilitates both sensation and performance. Without adequate levels of free testosterone the quality of a man's sex life is unquestionably diminished.
Remember, however, it does not matter how much free testosterone is available if excess estrogen is competing for the same cellular receptor sites. And estrogen has a further impact on testosterone's effectiveness because it contributes to the age-related rise in sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). SHBG binds the active free testosterone into non-active bound testosterone, and this bound testosterone can't be picked up by testosterone receptors on cell membranes, so it is of no benefit to you. For testosterone to have the desired long-lasting libido enhancing effects it must be kept in the free form, and excess estrogen must be suppressed. Restoring youthful hormone balance can have a significant impact on male sexuality, and this is precisely the goal of the Andropause Program.
Testosterone and the Heart
An increasing number of studies have shown an association between high testosterone and low cardiovascular disease rates in men. Testosterone is amuscle building hormone, with many receptor sites in the heart. The weakening of the heart muscle as we age can sometimes be attributed to testosterone deficiency. Testosterone is not only responsible for maintaining heart muscle protein synthesis, but it promotes coronary artery dilation (good circulation) and helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels as well.
Testosterone and Depression
A consistent finding in the scientific literature is that testosterone supplementation therapy produces an increased feeling of well being. Newly published studies show that low Testosterone correlates with symptoms of depression and other psychological disorders. A common side effect of prescription anti-depressant drugs-SSRI's like Prozac and Zoloft-is a reduction in libido. Many people suffering with depression either accept this druginduced reduction in the quality of their lives or they discontinue the anti-depressant drugs so that they can at least have a somewhat normal sex life. Testosterone supplementation, the foundation of the Andropause program, often enhances libido, which is the opposite effect of most prescription anti-depressants. And at least one study showed that patients with major depression, given Testosterone, experienced improvement that was equal to that achieved with standard antidepressant drugs.
Testosterone and Aging
A consistent pattern that deals with fundamental aging are that low testosterone causes excess production of a potentially dangerous stress hormone called cortisol. Excess cortisol can contribute to multiple degenerative effects such as immune dysfunction, brain cell injury and arterial wall damage. Excess cortisol can also suppress testosterone and growth hormone production; the administration of testosterone acts as a "shield" against the over-production of cortisol.
What about the other hormones in the Andropause evaluation?
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a metabolic by-product of testosterone. The body converts some testosterone to this metabolite, and we want to monitor it. DHT contributes to benign prostate hyperplasia, a non-cancerous but annoying enlargement of the prostate gland one of the symptoms of which is excessive urination in men, especially at night.
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a natural hormone that is produced in the brain, skin and adrenal glands. It is the most abundant steroid hormone in the body. As we age, our levels of DHEA drop, so that typically by the age of 45 we produce only half of the DHEA we produced at 20. Many scientists believe that the decline in DHEA (along with the decline in testosterone) has a role in much of the physical and mental decline we associate with "normal" aging.
Hundreds of studies have documented the vital role that DHEA plays in the body, but it appears to be especially important for normal immune function. It also appears to have a significant effect on our emotional well being, with one study reporting "a remarkable increase in perceived physical and psychological well-being for both men and women". The men and women not only felt better when they were taking DHEA but said they were better able to cope with stress.
Other studies have shown that low levels of DHEA increase the risk of heart disease in men. And interestingly, in one study of men over the age of 40, low levels of DHEA were strongly correlated with sexual dysfunction.
What effects can I expect to see from the Andropause Program?
Studies have shown that supplemental testosterone can result in lower levels of cholesterol, glucose, and triglycerides, reductions in blood pressure and decreased abdominal fat mass. Most patients also experience:

Low Testosterone in Men
Free testosterone self assessment includes the Heinemann Questionnaire which assesses possible symptoms of testosterone deficiency. This is a self assessment questionnaire which is increasingly used as the method of choice in measuring the probability of testosterone deficiency in older men. The Heinemann Questionnaire has been used extensively in research on hormonal changes in older men.

We had one day of bad weather in Florida, but didn’t let the tornado warnings and frequent rainstorms deter us. This was for our friend J, and we made the most of it. Fortunately, a lot of stuff is indoors.
While waiting for a ride in the Magic Kingdom, I took this shot of the carousel near Sleeping Beauty’s castle:
It was “blue hour” and everyone was wearing plastic ponchos, including us. They look kind of gossamer-like, don’t they?
About twenty minutes later, it rained again and there was a nice reflection on the other side:

As we gear up for spring, editors and writers at Game & Fish checked out the newest multi-species vessels designed with the serious angler in mind.
Here are four versatile boats new for 2019:
STARCRAFT RENEGADE 178 DC
While most anglers love the idea of having a top-of-the-line tournament boat, the reality is that most of us can do without the top-of-the-line price tag that usually goes along with it. Starcraft certainly got that message when the company unveiled its Renegade 178 DC, a well-designed multi-species fishing boat that puts the best features of its high-end tournament boats into a package that’s both attractive and affordable.
They really didn’t scrimp, either. With its .100 gauge bottom and hefty .080 gauge sides, the Renegade is built for serious fishing, and it can run from ice-out to freeze-up thanks to the protection of its dual consoles and a full walk-through windshield. Even with the consoles, the raised bow deck is still more than large enough for two to fish in comfort, while accommodating an 18-gallon aerated livewell with a bait bucket, storage space for gear, and an in-floor rod locker with six individual tubes.
The main cockpit is kept open for uncluttered trolling, giving the Renegade added versatility. The new-for-2019 helm console has space for a large flush-mount fish finder, while the gunnels offer further rod storage in a pair of top-loading lockers.
Starcraft’s integrated gunnel track system makes it a cinch to mount rod holders, downriggers or other accessories anywhere, and without having to drill holes in the boat. The big stern deck has more storage, plus a second 25-gallon livewell. And there’s more storage space in the cockpit floor. You won’t struggle to find places to stow gear in this rig.
Its spacious raised casting decks, big dual livewells and intelligent storage spaces confirm this boat was designed by anglers for anglers. But that big windshield makes all the difference, especially when fishing early or late in the season.
The new console design with the flush-mount display, and the available split-bench seat option, takes this boat to a whole other level. Starcraft’s legendary Power-Trac hull design delivers a smooth ride in rough water and lets you make the most of the Renegade’s 150 horsepower rating.
- Length 18 FT. 5 IN.
- Beam 92 IN.
- Dry Weight 1,176 LBS.
- Fuel Capacity 26 GAL.
- Max Horsepower 150
- MSRP $20,521
The all-new Skeeter WX2200 is built for venturing out on windswept big waters. With its overall length of 22 feet and a mega-wide beam of over 8 feet, the WX2200 multi-species boat is the biggest deep-V boat made by Skeeter. Its built to give fishermen the confidence to cross most bodies of water.
The fiberglass rig was engineered with big water tournament anglers in mind by creating industry-exclusive front and rear aluminum grid inserts. The aluminum deck structure adds support and strength to tame the waves, provide a better ride and absorb the shock of big water.
Also this vessel comes rigged with a Humminbird Helix 12 Chirp Mega SI GPS G2N. The lower Yamaha F300XA unit’s higher gear ratio produces substantially more thrust than conventional outboards using standard propellers. A Yamaha T9.9 kicker with remote control is included for precision maneuvers.
Included in the package is a Minn Kota 112 Ulterra US2 trolling motor with iPilot that features auto stow/deploy and power trim and also the owner’s choice of iPilot, iPilot Link or a multi-function foot pedal. It also features an Infinity Bluetooth stereo with speakers and a Minn Kota 10x4 bank charger. Also on board is a 25-gallon insulated stern livewell and a 9-gallon insulated bow baitwell that keeps catches easily accessible and healthy.
The WX2200 is designed to tame the choppy water and cut down time between fishing spots to give anglers more time throwing baits and lures in the water. The front and rear deck space has been substantially increased, offering space for anglers to fight and net the catch of a lifetime. The larger and open cockpit area allows anglers maneuverability between bow and stern to throw in a line.
The Hamby’s Keel Protector helps prevent costly damage to the keel by protecting it from rocks when breaching the boat on the shoreline. Center rod storage box with mega tubes keeps rigs organized.

CRESTLINER 1650 FISH HAWK
The Crestliner multi-species 1650 Fish Hawk received a facelift and new design features this year. Not just new paint colors and a new gunnel, the new model has an updated console, jump seats and upgrades that can be found in the 1750, 1850 and 1950 Fish Hawks. This 16-foot aluminum rig’s updated console includes lit toggle switches, two multi-functional gauges and space for a 12-inch locator.
It also features a 12V power outlet and multiple drink holders. If the standard configuration doesn’t suit your needs, Crestliner also offers different configurations — for example, a side console, dual console or a walk-through option. The 1650 Fish Hawk has a 15-gallon aerated livewell with timer and divider on the stern and also a 12-gallon aerated livewell with timer in the bow to keep your catch fresh.
For those not familiar with Crestliner engineering, it’s designed with a unique interlocking construction method that ensures the hulls fit together seamlessly before the weld is made. It’s also backed by Crestliner’s lifetime limited warranty. Continuous welds run along the tongue and groove of the connection points from bow to stern, creating a strong and smooth one-piece hull.
Portside, quick-access rod holders maximize space in the cockpit. The 1650 has a conversion stern bench option that gives anglers a larger casting/fishing platform when folded down and extra seating when needed. The bow casting platform allows easy maneuverability, and deep storage compartments allow for a lot of gear.
A removable aluminum accessory bracket lets anglers slide accessories along the gunnel for customized placement without drilling holes in the boat. A MOB+ Wireless man-over-board system is an innovative, life-saving feature that can be added.

- Beam 86.5 in.

SMOKER CRAFT PRO ANGLER 171 XL
For many years, Smoker Craft’s Pro Angler 171 XL has ranked among the company’s top-selling fishing boats. That’s no surprise given this model’s versatile design, its capacity to be towed easily with a moderately sized vehicle, and its capability to be launched easily from even unimproved ramps on remote lakes. For 2019, the 171 XL gets some appealing upgrades.
The Pro Angler is designed as a serious fishing rig that can pull double-duty as an all-round family boat. The key to this versatility lies in its split rear bench seat. In the upright position, the split bench provides full-width seating for four people.
Folded down, it forms an extension of the raised stern casting deck. If you need a bit of each, simply fold down either side to get just the balance of seating and deck space that you like. Regardless of how you configure it, the seat cushion on the port side of the bench lifts to reveal a 25-gallon aerated livewell, with a removable bait bucket.
The main cockpit uses a tough, easy-clean vinyl floor that dries more quickly than carpet. The gunnels include Smoker Craft’s integrated gunnel track system for easily mounting downriggers, rod holders and other accessories. Wide gunnels conceal top-loading rod lockers, with additional storage space below and in an in-floor gear locker. The bow and stern decks are perfectly designed: they are high enough to provide great visibility, yet they’re low enough you don’t have to reach when lipping a bass.
Up on the bow, an elevated casting deck conceals deep storage lockers for bulky gear, including an in-floor rod locker that accepts sticks to 8 feet in length and a second, 15-gallon aerated livewell.
Smoker Craft’s Hydra-Lift reverse-chine hull gives the Pro Angler 171 XL fast hole shots, spirited acceleration and nimble handling, without sacrificing stability when actually fishing. Improved fishing seats, new electronics packages and standard no-feedback steering make the 2019 model a good value.
