Good food tastes better when you know it's been sourced, served, produced or prepared in a way that helps create a better world for everyone.
Below we shine the spotlight on two of four city businesses taking a sustainable or socially sensitive approach to food. You can discover more about two others, The Foodprint Experience and the V4V Produce Swap, by clicking here.
A city food first
The question of how to put a meal on the table faces many vulnerable people in our community, and no-one likes receiving handouts.
With the opening of the Baptist Care SA Community Food Hub (216 Wright St), the first of its kind in the CBD, there's now a dignified way for people to access affordable groceries for themselves or their families.
The Community Food Hub was developed in direct response to a deep need within our community. By listening to clients, stakeholders and the wider community, it became clear that food insecurity was a growing issue in Adelaide.
The Foodbank 2018 Hunger Report highlighted that over four million Australians have experienced food insecurity in the past 12 months and 22% of these people are children.
Established by Baptist Care SA with Foodbank SA, the Community Food Hub is open Monday to Thursday (10 am – 3 pm). It sells low-priced food and other essential items to anyone with a concession card or Immi card, including pensioners, students and people experiencing homelessness.
Help through hospitality
Café Outside the Square is working wonders from its home at 34 Whitmore Square / Iparrityi.
Founded by philanthropists Mike Chalmers and Tim Seymour-Smith, this totally not-for-profit community eatery serves up simple, locally-focused fare with some significant 'sides'.
All profits from meals purchased help fund the free dinners served after closing by the café's landlord, St Vinnies, to around 50 people staying at their nearby Men's Crisis Centre. One $15 cafe 'square meal' of the day pays for two nutritious dinners.
As well as doing lots of external catering, the café has several function spaces (one boardroom style and one larger space which can seat 50 – 100 people) and Mike hopes to see more corporates booking in both catering and events.
"Every coffee or meal we sell makes a difference but if we're catering for 20, 50 or 100 people a day at a workshop, lunch or breakfast, the funds raised at that larger scale help us do more for more people."
The café also offers on-site hospitality training for vulnerable people and assists them to find work if they wish. The plan is to move to certified training as soon as possible.
"We've really just started out in the training area of the business so that's where we hope to ramp things up," said Mike. "At the moment we provide an opportunity for people who want a bit of a leg-up to learn some fundamental skills from our staff about all aspects of hospitality operations including customer service, barista training, food prep, cash handling and general kitchen duties. It's particularly for people who've been disadvantaged in life or have had a tough journey for whatever reason.
"In the next 12 months we're hoping to really get busy and train and find work for as many people as we can manage and equip them with a certified qualification in hospitality. That said, not everyone who comes in is looking for job opportunities. For some people, spending time with our staff is a chance to re-engage, be part of a team, part of the community and feel valued and just busy, which can be really important if you're someone experiencing homelessness."
Mike Chalmers, co-founder, Cafe Outside the Square
In January 2019, Mike Chalmers and Tim Seymour-Smith were awarded City of Adelaide Citizen of the Year for their work together as co-founders of Café Outside the Square.

In the article "Offering Euthanasia can be an Act of Love", Humphrey puts up an argument in support of euthanasia. Euthanasia refers to mercy killing, which is the painless killing of a terminally ill person in order to spare him/her from pain and troubles arising from the illness. Humphrey rightly points out the main controversies brought by euthanasia and attempts to propose a way forward. The author focuses on present and past happenings that have influenced the arguments around the practice. One of the crucial developments cited is the decision by the American Medical Association (AMA) to acknowledge that artificial feeding of patients can be stopped in case the patient is "hopelessly comatose." This paper will shed more light on the practice of euthanasia by reacting to the various arguments cited by Humphrey.
The American Medical Association's decision to allow stopping of artificial feeding to hopelessly comatose patients is welcome. As Humphrey points out, those against this development rely on fallacies and nothing else. For instance, a critical look at the argument that food comes from God and no one has a right to stop another from feeding reveals shortsightedness. Such arguments fail to acknowledge that the whole process of feeding a terminally ill comatose patient is not natural, but dependent on fabricated technologies. If this patient could have been left to nature, he/she could have died a long time ago. Euthanasia borrows from this idea by suggesting that this person should be peacefully left to die if all other alternatives have been exhausted. Equating euthanasia to Nazism is unfounded.
As Humphrey points out, pro-life lobby groups have compared the decision to stop feeding hopelessly comatose patients to the Nazi practice of exterminating Aryan Germans because they were "useless eaters." This comparison is faulty for the two practices are guided by completely different convictions. First, the Nazi decision was not based on science, but on malicious prejudices and half-truths. The Nazi terminated more than one hundred Aryan Germans because they were "mentally or physically defective," and thus against the "purity of the German race." This was founded on barbaric fascism and was against all religious, moral, and scientific convictions of the world (Cohen-Almagor, 2001). Euthanasia is different from this Nazi practice, as it is rarely carried out without the consent of next of kin (Stolberg, 2007). The Nazis were not killing helplessly comatose patients, but able people who they just did not like. The Nazis were deeply immersed in a ruthless killing spree, which defied logic. With euthanasia, it is a completely different story since the best interests of the patient and his/her family are taken into account.
The proposition that "people have rights, not technologies" is indeed true. Though this phrase is easily used to justify the fight against euthanasia, a critical look reveals the opposite (Stolberg, 2007). The phrase indeed justifies the use of euthanasia after careful thought. Those against euthanasia fail to acknowledge that it is people who come up with technology, thus technology should work for people. Technology exists to serve the best interest of people, and not the opposite. As a result, people decide whether to embrace technology or to avoid it altogether. It is after people decide that technology no longer serves them that they settle for ideas like euthanasia. What is the need to use technology to sustain a helplessly comatose patient using artificial feeding for 20 years without any hope for improvement? People should have a right to choose what is best for such a patient.
Common sense demands that we do not be-devil euthanasia. A careful analysis of the practice reveals that the best interests of the person are at hand. As a result, legislation in favor of euthanasia should be replicated elsewhere.

REVELATION OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE - Chapter 20 - Verse 9
Verse 9. And they went up on the breadth of the earth. They spread over the earth in extended columns. The image is that of an invading army that seems, in its march, to spread all over a land. The reference here is to the hosts assembled from the regions of Gog and Magog; that is, to the formidable enemies of the gospel that would be roused up at the close of the period properly called the millennial period—the period of the thousand years. It is not necessary to suppose that there would be literally armies of enemies of God summoned from lands that would be called lands of" Gog and Magog;" but all that is necessarily implied is, that there will be a state of hostility to the church of Christ which would be well illustrated by such a comparison with an invading host of barbarians. The expression "the breadth of the land" occurs in Hab 1:6, in a description of the invasion of the Chaldeans, and means there the whole extent of it; that is, they would spread over the whole country.
And compassed the camp of the saints about. Besieged the camp of the saints considered as engaged in war, or as attacked by an enemy. The "camp of the saints" here seems to be supposed to be without the walls of the city; that is, the army was drawn out for defence. The fact that the foes were able to "compass this camp about," and to encircle the city at the same time, shows the greatness of the numbers of the invaders.
And the beloved city. Jerusalem—a city represented as beloved by God and by his people. The whole imagery here is derived from a supposed invasion of the land of Palestine—imagery than which nothing could be more natural to John in describing the hostility that would be aroused against the church in the latter day. But no just principle of interpretation requires us to understand this literally. Compare Heb 12:22. Indeed, it would be absolutely impossible to give this chapter throughout a literal interpretation. What would be the literal interpretation of the very first verses? "I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand; and he laid hold on the dragon, and bound him." Can any one believe that there is to be a literal key, and a chain, and an act of seizing a serpent, and binding him? As little as it demanded that the passage before us should be taken literally; for if it is maintained that this should be, we may insist that the same principle of interpretation should be applied to every part of the chapter, and every part of the book.
And fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. Consumed them—fire being represented as devouring or eating. See Barnes on "Re 17:16".
The meaning is, that they would be destroyed as if fire should come down from heaven, as on Sodom and Gomorrah. But it is not necessary to understand this literally, any more than it is the portions of the chapter just referred to. What is obviously meant is, that their destruction would be sudden, certain, and entire, and that thus the last enemy of God and the church would be swept away. Nothing can be determined from this about the means by which this destruction will be effected; and that must be left for time to disclose. It is sufficient to know that the destruction of these last foes of God and the church will be certain and entire. This language, as denoting the final destruction of the enemies of God, is often employed in the Scriptures. See Ps 11:6; Isa 29:6; Eze 38:22; 39:6.
{a} "they went" Isa 8:8; Eze 38:9,16

First in the Nation - Curriculum Material by the State Historical Museum of Iowa
The State Historical Museum of Iowa has developed curriculum material as a companion to their new exhibit: First in the Nation: Shaping Presidential Politics since 1972. (PDF)
Snapshot History of the Political Cartoon
In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin used pen names, such as Silence Dogood, to write essays to poke fun at the elite class and to express his opinions on a wide range of topics. His insatiable curiosity also led to a new understanding of lightning as electricity after Franklin conducted his famous experiment with kites. But did you know he was also the first political cartoonist? In 1754, his "Join or Die" cartoon was published to convince the British colonies to unite against the French and the Natives, according to the Library of Congress. Twenty years later, Franklin would join the colonists to declare independence from England as a new sovereign nation – the United States of America.
The above cartoon by Benjamin Franklin was published on May 9, 1754 in the Pennsylvania Gazette. It depicts a snake divided into 8 segments representing most of the British colonies – S.C. (South Carolina); N.C. (North Carolina); V (Vermont); M (Massachusetts); R (Rhode Island); N.J. (New Jersey); N.Y. (New York); and N.E. (New England for four colonies).

What are the Iowa Caucuses? How do the Iowa Caucuses work? Who can participate? These questions are difficult even for many adults to answer. Iowa is located in the center of the country. Right now Iowa is also the center of the political universe because the Iowa Caucuses begin the long process of electing the next president on Nov. 8, 2016. On Feb. 1, 2016, Iowa Democrats and Republicans, the nation's two main political parties, will meet separately to discuss their respective candidates and vote for whom they think should be the next president. The Caucuses are different from presidential primaries but with the same purpose. After the Caucuses and primaries during which delegates are allocated, each political party will choose their candidate during their summer conventions. The State Historical Society of Iowa has created an exhibit to help explain the Iowa Caucuses and how these events have shaped presidential politics since 1972. Join Student News Net on Jan. 13, 2016 from the Iowa State Museum in Des Moines with Leo Landis, exhibit curator.
After watching the video and reading the material, you can still post questions in the "Chat and Collaborate" box to the right. Questions will be answered as soon as possible.

The state is set on overhauling Virginia's IT strategy, and Northrop Grumman is saying publicly that the technology agency's plan is flawed.
(TNS) -- RICHMOND – The state's move away from a single massive IT contractor to a bunch of smaller deals is shaping up like a messy divorce, with lots of lawyers and arguments over money.
Virginia's IT arm, the Virginia Information Technologies Agency, has accused lead contractor Northrop Grumman five times this year of breach of contract. There's a nearly $10 million gap, and counting, between payments Northrop Grumman feels it's owed and what the state has been willing to pay.
Told all this Monday morning, legislators on a key oversight committee repeatedly asked VITA officials whether they have enough legal fire power cued up for a fight that seems destined for court.
The state's contract with Northrop Grumman is more than 10 years old, and this is far from the first time agency officials have complained about the company's IT services. But now, with the state set on overhauling Virginia's IT strategy, and Northrop Grumman saying publicly that VITA's plan is a flawed one with dangers for the taxpayer, state officials say the company's service is slipping.
"(It was) an awkward courtship," Del. John O'Bannon, R-Henrico, said of the contract Monday. "A short honeymoon, a rocky marriage, and now we're heading to an ugly divorce."
VITA sent Northrop Grumman a breach of contract notice in May, accusing the company of failing to save emails tied to an ongoing court case. Last month it sent four more breach letters for separate problems.
"Considered together ... this group of letters shows that Northrop Grumman's performance ... is very troubled in many areas," VITA head Nelson Moe wrote in a cover letter included with the August batch of correspondence.
The company's deadline to respond comes later this month, according to Moe, the state's chief information officer.
Metrics quoted in a Monday report to the General Assembly's audit and investigatory arm showed a significant increase in IT outages over the last two years, including eight outages that stopped work for at least one state agency in 2016. There's also a dispute over about $9.7 million in payments tied to cost increases that Northrop Grumman says flowed from subcontractor changes and increased the company's costs.
In an emailed statement Monday, Northrop Grumman spokesman Randy Belote said the company "continues to successfully perform to the terms of the VITA contract." He said the arrangement has produced 13 industry and national awards over the last three years and that Northrop Grumman's latest "service level agreement achievement score" was 99.28 percent.
Belote also said the company will "continue to work to support the Commonwealth in the disentanglement process," but he re-iterated that "the Commonwealth's current transition path creates undue risk and increased costs" and "poses significant risks to the quality and security of services provided to the citizens of the Commonwealth."
Northrop Grumman has been saying this for months, and it declined to bid on any of the smaller IT contracts the state plans to ink in the two years as it seeks a more agile way to provide computers, email and other technology services to state departments. The Northrop Grumman deal runs into 2019, a disconcertingly long period of time for officials who see the relationship deteriorating.
In January, Moe sent Northrop Grumman a letter that acknowledged the company was hitting a majority of agreed upon service levels, but he also complained of outages and a "perception of Northrop Grumman recalcitrance." Moe began his JLARC presentation Monday by reading an opening statement written in consultation with the Attorney General's Office.
During and after his presentation, Republican legislators on JLARC's oversight committee asked repeatedly whether VITA needs to hire outside attorneys with the expertise called for in for this case. As a group, the legislature's GOP majority has often taken a different tack: Criticizing Democratic Attorney General Mark Herring for spending millions on outside counsel.
Long-time lobbyists, who remember when the state inked the Northrop Grumman deal a decade ago, wondered Monday whether the state's legal fees in this dispute might eventually cost more than the payments Northrop Grumman demands, and several legislators said they hope the matter can be handled through mediation.
Other legislators noted that they've largely heard just one side of the story in this dispute: The state's.
Del. David Albo, an attorney by trade, said "all the cases sound like winners" the first time a potential client lays out their case.
"Northrop Grumman could very well have some good points," said Albo, R-Springfield.

About me:
I was born in Italy in the '80s. My interest in photography began when I was in Philadelphia in the early 2000s.
I studied History of Art at the University of Milan and I also graduated at C.F.P. Bauer, Institute of Photography.
I have been working as a professional photographer since then.
My photos are on the catalogs and on the website of many Companies like Artemide, Alessi, BiTicino, Calligaris, Draga&Aurel, Marazzi, Seletti, Wall&Decò, Hyster-Yale.
I publish my works on many magazines every year like Abitare, Artribune, Casa Naturale, Come Ristrutturare la Casa, Cotè Maison, Domus, Elle Decor, Home!, Icon Design, Il Giornale dell'Arte, Living, Marie Claire, Marie Claire Maison, Quin, Style Magazine and on national daily newspapers like La Repubblica and Il Corriere della Sera.
I published a book with Electa, about Tommaso Calabro art gallery.
My photos was used on the Italian tv show "Cambio Casa, Cambio Vita!", directed by Andrea Castrignano.
My projects were awarded many times by Archilovers and Houzz.

The utility is going after Scope 3 emissions, a broad interpretation of greenhouse gas impacts that can include everything from employee travel to products purchased. The metric was developed by the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council on Sustainable Development.
PG&E announced the project to employees this week, according to GreenBiz.com.
"The intention of the work we're beginning to do with UC Berkeley and some other partners ... is really to answer: Where are the opportunities as it relates to products and services we purchase?" asked Desmond Bell, PG&E's chief procurement officer -- as reported by Tilde Herrera of GreenBiz. "As utilities, if we focus on them, we can really move the needle (of) our environmental performance."
Herrera wrote, "Goods and services to be examined range from electricity generation and transmission equipment to fleet vehicles and office furniture."
The idea is to analyze what consumes electricity and attempt to reduce it through energy efficiency measures. The premise is the same applied to cities in the San Joaquin Valley Clean Energy Partnership, which is getting federal stimulus funds to install lighting, HVAC and other retrofits in three counties and 33 cities to reduce electricity use and save money.
PG&E has encouraged home and business owners to monitor their energy usage online as a way to become more familiar with what behaviors cause the kWh to spike. For instance, my home account shows that my power spiked when I cranked the AC Monday when temperatures hit 108 degrees.
We'll be interested in PG&E's findings.
The San Joaquin Valley Clean Energy Organization is a nonprofit dedicated to improving our region's quality of life by increasing its production and use of clean and alternative energy. The SJVCEO works with cities and counties and public and private organizations to demonstrate the benefits of energy efficiency and renewable energy throughout the eight-county region of the San Joaquin Valley.

Misunderstood Love

Libraries: Poetry and Song Lyrics

Updated on
You walk away never understanding the deeper meaning of mai words...
But when you heard those words you said you've heard enough,
I stood there as you ran but I couldn't see you cry,
But I wasn't finished saying that I've loved you all mai lyfe,
And all your friends turned so then I turned away,
But I left you a note saying the things I wanted to say,
It said, " If you read this message you knoe that I was scared,
I wanted to say in person I love you and I care,
But I guess it didn't happen cuz fate can change the cards,
So I guess todai was not the day Id hold you in mai arms,
And if we ever meet again I hope I get this chance,
To finally say I love you so with one neverending dance,
But if the time comes for you to love another,
I'll still be your closest friend more treated like a 'brother',
Hopefully you'll still be waiting for a prince to come along,
But even if I wasn't rich Ill enrich you with mai song."
Signed with love and X and O's from a boy you knew before,
And everyday that Im away Ill love you so much more."

Compaq: Over 2 million units served
When times are tough on PDA makers, and with the pain of the failed HP merger still lingering, Compaq decided to celebrate their success today.
Although Palm still leads the quantity race, Compaq demands a higher price tag and actually leads Palm in total sales dollars. Last quarter, for example, iPaq sales generated $160 million for Compaq, up 18 percent from a year earlier.
Compaq continues to tout the iPAQ indicating that firefighters use the device to track wildfires, pilots use it to track flights and BMW sells it as an option with its Z3 in Germany, allowing executives to use it for navigation in the car and as an organizer once they leave. Compaq also said it is working with Raytheon to develop Agama, a more rugged version of the iPaq for the military market.

When writing a novel, there comes a time, in the process of gestation and planning, when other books are required. It is almost as though, Middlemarch-like, your little attempt at writing cannot be separated from what others have written. The world is a great web. Books speak to books. They cry out, call, whisper. I find it very strange. When writing a novel, when so much is held in your heart and your head, certain books quietly announce themselves. Usually, I have found, that happens in bookshops - those rapidly-diminishing repositories of paper and card and ink.
It is not the same online, on the electronic web. Yes, I know that Penguin Random House has just publicised plans to build platforms that will enable readers to share their thoughts on good books. And I know that Amazon is like a large, single-breasted lover, always on call, forever willing to suckle my need for books. She - and here I do the intrusive, algorithmic computing software a personifying favour - faithfully makes recommendations based on previous purchases and even on simple searches. And with a quick motion, we click, she and I. And a few hours/days later, the offspring of our union appears in neat cardboard nappies. Books simply drop through the door, delivered by the stork it would seem.
But it is not the same as standing in a bookshop. Many people have written about that sense of tingling serendipity. I have experienced it many times.
Like when I wrote my first novel. There I was in Heffers bookshop, Cambridge, drifting inevitably downstairs, to where they kept their Africa section. There they were: amid all the others, two books that would profoundly influence my writing of Held Up, a literary novel about the new South Africa. Jodie Bieber's photo-essay collection transported me instantly from the street just down from St John's College and a short distance from the King's Parade to the interior of shacks in Soweto.
I was staring at precisely what I had struggled to imagine. In my hands I held the gas bottle and the car battery used to power cookers and radios; I could reach out and touch the corrugated walls and compelling details of vivid, ramshackle lives. There was a map. I was able to locate my protagonist precisely in a place I had tried previously to hover above on Google Earth. It took a book. A book in a bookshop in Cambridge plunged me more completely into my homeland of South Africa than I ever would have thought possible. And there was R.W. Johnson's magisterial South Africa's Brave New World: The Beloved Country Post-Apartheid. My plot fell into place. The socio-historical and political complexities of the narrative I was trying to tell were thrown into relief. Thanks to those books, I was brushing past fur coats into Narnia - or, in this case, Soweto. I had found South Africa on the wooden shelves of a well-stocked shop.
The same serendipity struck when I was actively searching for an epigraph to illuminate my second novel, The Crack. Heffers again. This time upstairs. Susan Sontag winked at me and there was her Illness as Metaphor. Ditto for Emily Dickinson. I already had a few well-thumbed collections of her poetry, but it was the seemingly stray selection of another anthology that offered up the perfect poem, the one that declared 'To fill a Gap/ Insert the Thing that caused it – '. It was the stylistic realisation of all that I was trying to achieve as I brought to life the febrile, delicate character and fractured perceptions of Janet Snyman, wife of an Afrikaans police interrogator in The Crack.
And it has happened again as I am busy with another book. The exact text I needed on servants in 1930s Britain as well as a multi-faceted view of English life between the world wars (in neat chapters, perfect for a non-historian like me). And as I was heading out of the coffee shop of my local book store that fortuitous day, I happened to see a display featuring books on gardens and gardening. And, although I had not anticipated needing anything on English country gardens just yet, here was a book that offered a wealth of pictures, as well as some commentary entirely germane to my own purpose. Yes, here were handy quotations linking gardening to narrative technique: the essence of my metafictional aspirations. And all that despite having scoured the internet, succumbing to the charms of my passionate, energetic Amazon. Despite all the money I have spent online, the real luminaries have been more subtle and surprising, seemingly brought to me by the physical proximity of 'real' books, in 'real' bookshops.
Will I dump my rather clingy Amazonian lover sometime soon? No, of course not. Will I hope and pray that bookshops continue to survive, somehow? You bet I will. My life and my writing would be much, much poorer without a good bookshop somewhere near me.
Christopher Radmann is the author of The Crack, which is published by Oneworld Publications on 4 May (Hardback, £14.99)

Beavers Breeding
Beavers are in the middle of their breeding season, which means copulation takes place under the ice, undetected by human eyes, making information about their reproductive habits hard to come by. What is known about the breeding practices of North America's largest rodent is that beavers form permanent breeding pairs and are monogamous through consecutive breeding seasons. Should a beaver's mate die, a new one will take its place. In a colony, only the adult (individuals which are at least three years old) pair breeds. Mating usually takes place in January or February, and typically occurs at night in the water. Gestation is roughly 128 days and three or four kits are born in May or July.

February 6, 2019 at 10:50 am
Not sure where the 3 or 4 average kits being bred each year comes from, but in my admittedly limited experience, it seems more like 1 to 2 kits if lucky!
February 6, 2019 at 2:26 pm
Hi Mary. I am a longtime beaver fan. Thanks for your latest piece. My sources indicate that our beavers in Wyoming are in estrus January-February for 12-24 hours, giving birth in April-May, with a gestation period of 100-110 days. Would you share your source for the specified 128 day gestation period? Perhaps some of my information (teaching about beavers since the 80's!) needs updating. I am also of the understanding that while lifelong bonding is the norm, genetic studies have revealed some liters as having been sired by two or more males, and that inbreeding has occurred within isolated, highly social groups.

Believe in sign descriptions, but not horoscopes?
I put a lot faith into the zodiac sign descriptions of individuals, and feel they are always strangely accurate and precise. Daily horoscopes, on the other hand, seem so vague and inconsistent that I cannot take them seriously whatsoever. I truly respect many aspects of astrology, but not the latter.
Does anyone else feel the same?
And if you are well-verse in astrology, do you feel the "generic" horoscopes (i.e. from websites, magazines), if you will, don't do much justice for professional readings?
[And please, if you're one of the many yahoo users who feels that *all* astrology is "mere entertainment"–so be it, but spare me the details. If you're such a pioneer of intellectualism, do you really need to spam me with irrelevant commentary??]
Answer by Justin M
I only take horoscopes with a grain of salt if I feel like they apply to me in any sense. I completely respect astrology, and I'm always reading up on books about it, learning more and more each day. Astrology has been around for thousands of years, so I think it SHOULD be respected because it's a workable system that has survived all the religious wars and whatnot.
Astrology CAN be just mere entertainment, while mostly it's there to serve us a purpose. And that purpose is to help us and to help understand human consciousness and behavior.

You are perfectly correct. General predictions are just guessing no more.
Answer by lil_Qti
I feel the same way as you, I find that people can either be predictable, or explained by their zodiac signs – I try to use to knowledge of the signs when dealing with people in everyday life – it can be tiring at times to always being trying to appeal to the sign you are dealing with at the time (sometimes i almost feel untrue to myself doing this) but it usually works out in my best interest.
As for horoscopes they are very generic and vague, seeing as they are only based on the sun sign 1/12 people are going to have the same type of day – just seems unrealistic to me. BUT i did have a horoscope reading done my a site that included all my other planets and i could relate to some of the information and that was a little eerie because it makes it seem as if i am not in control of my own life!
Answer by ani
yes i totally agree with ur statemnts nd ur opinion its jus so true… astrlogy is jus the thing which can tell about a person behaviour not his karma… ol that daily horoscpe stuff is a trash… we r not psychics 2 say abt our future nd if we r so everyothing would have jus been so perfect… nd i wonder seeing some polls saying that hey psychics tell me abt my love my future WTF? r we some kinda witches 2 know abt their lives? we don even know them… haha this concept seems so funny 2 me.. nd this is the reason y so many ppl still don beleive this astrology things….
in my opinion this astrology shud be read only 2 know particular traits of paticular group of ppl… not even that relationship theory is so perfect its just a gesture nd it jus helps study a person better… so guys take it that way don get so phychic abt this whole thing huh

First City Cavalry hopes to hang on to No. 1 seed
As the 2017 regular season winds down, the First City Cavalry of Leavenworth, Kan., is sitting in good shape at 4-2 in just their second season. However, they will have their work cut out for them when they host the top team in the league this Saturday as the Metro Militia comes down from Omaha, Neb., ranked No.1 in the American Conference at 5-0.
"We expect a hard-hitting chess match," Cavalry general manager and head coach Thomas Cottingham told Developmental Football USA. "Both teams are coached very well and we really look forward to competing at a very high level Saturday."
Despite not having the best record, First City is atop the standings in their conference because the Central Plains Football League bases its standings off of point differential. While the Cavalry is much improved from one year ago – when they finished 5-5 and snuck into the playoffs by the skin of their teeth – they still haven't reached their full potential.
However, it's obvious they have made strides from last year and that solid turnaround can be credited to the team's off-season recruiting efforts, headed up by Cottingham.
"I've been recruiting for seven or eight months leading up to our season," Cottingham told Developmental Football USA. "We're only allowed to dress 32 players per game, that's we're limited to have on our roster. We have about 36 guys that are with the team and we work guys in and out. If we have a game we know is going to be a blowout game then we'll dress guys that wouldn't normally play and get them in.
"As far as talent goes, we made a big step this off-season, we upgraded our uniforms and that brought in more talent. If they look good they'll play good."
Quarterback Trent Thompson has been a big part of First City's success as the leader of the offense, averaging more than 120 passing yards per game and completing roughly 70 percent of passes, which is good for the eight-man game.
"He's from Sacramento, Calif.," Cottingham said. "He moved out here a couple of years ago. He's a pretty big quarterback, like a Big Ben style, tall and heavyset. He's a great quarterback, very smart. He went three games in a row with five touchdowns and no picks."
Thompson's primary go-to guy has been wide receiver Avery Washington, who has a background in the arena game.
"He's also on the Nike Olympic track tryout team for the 2020 Olympics," Cottingham said. "He's pretty fast and he averages two or three of those touchdowns each week and averages 80 or 90 of the yards from our quarterback. If they put a safety over the corner to lock down Avery, we'll just dump it down to somebody else."
Thompson and center Michael Scranton are the two offensive captains for the Cavalry.
"Scranton is undersized for a center, but he's got spot-on snaps," Cottingham said. "He's about 220-230 pounds, but he'll handle any tackle or defensive end that gets in his way or any linebacker that comes through the hole. He handles the line really well, so we gave him a captain patch this year."
The Cavalry's defense starts up front with end Denzell Rimpson and linebacker Nathan Wessel.
"Rimpson holds down the defensive line pretty well," Cottingham said. "He has a defensive touchdowns this year on fumble recoveries and I think he's intercepted two pitches too.
"Our linebacker could play in the NFL, he's a local guy. All he does is eat, sleep and breathe football in the gym. He's our steak in the middle of our defense, everything goes off of him. He's everywhere on every play, he's so fast and so strong. Before anyone else gets a chance to make a play, he's already made it."
Nose tackle Jermaine Holloway and safety Max Stidham are also integral parts of First City's defense, Cottingham said.
The Cavalry have four regular season games remaining and then the playoffs. Right now, they're hoping to hang on to that No. 1 seed so they can host a playoff game against the defending champion, 4-State Fusion.
"As far as winning a championship, everything goes through Joplin, Missouri, and has for five years now," Cottingham said. "To win the championship, you're going to have to beat them. They're just so good. Whatever they call, they're running it and there's no stopping them, so it's just bend and not break. Do we think we can beat them? We think we can. If we can get that No. 1 seed and have the playoffs stay at our house, we feel like we can definitely make it to the championship game."
In their match-up earlier this season, Cavalry came within 14 points of knocking off the Fusion, who recently had a 44-game winning streak snapped.
"Since we're in first place, they're hungry," Cottingham said. "We know we can beat them. The thing about the Fusion, the reason they won 44 games in a row is that they play perfect fundamental football from the first snap to the last snap."

When Samah, an Egyptian software engineer, bought a studio apartment to rent out in an upscale Cairo neighbourhood in 2014, her friends were surprised. Studios aren't widely understood in Egypt. When she began to buy new furniture for the space from the recently opened IKEA store outside the city, they thought she was crazy. Rented apartments were for the furniture you didn't want, not the new items. But Samah had a plan: Airbnb.
Four years later, her idea doesn't seem so crazy. In 2014, there were only 153 Airbnb listings in Greater Cairo; now there are nearly 2,000 active rentals. Bookings in Egypt increased 134% last year, according to a report produced by Airbnb, making the country the fastest-growing destination in Africa. But as the country becomes a growing market for Airbnb, local hosts question if the platform is willing to embrace Egypt's potential.
Tourists are now starting to come back to Egypt after a period of instability following the 2011 revolution. While local government initiatives to boost tourism focus on recapturing foreigners who prefer package trips and resort stays, Airbnb opens Egypt up to the new kind of traveler that emerged over the past decade — the millennial tourist and businessperson.
Samah's visitors are mostly businesspeople and young tourists from America or Europe. Similarly, Bishoy, an Egyptian businessman, receives a steady stream of millennial tourists to his rented room. Airbnbs like these offer what hotels can't: the ability to live like a local. According to a 2016 study by Airbnb, 80% of millennial travellers value this aspect of travel. Bishoy makes it a point to take visitors out to a neighborhood bar or cafe when they arrive to give them a feel of life in Cairo.
But as Airbnb has grown larger in Egypt, Samah says she's noticed a shift in the platform's interaction with its hosts. Verification services that were available in 2014 are now no longer listed. In addition, as a super host, she used to get a call back from an Airbnb employee in minutes when she had a problem. Now, it is difficult to get ahold of anyone. She has resorted to tweeting at the platform to get attention.
Based on her past experience working at INTEL, Samah says, "The thing I've noticed about big corporations, is the bigger they get the more efficient they try to become." As Airbnb expands globally, it seems Egypt has slipped through the cracks of corporate definitions and has been overlooked. Airbnb's impact website, Airbnb Citizen, does not even include the country as an option on its dropdown bar of global communities. In limbo between African and Middle Eastern markets and with a recovering tourism industry rather than an emerging one, Egypt's potential is hard to define.
But Egypt's tourism industry is coming back strong and, in doing so, could open up new markets to the platform. In the past few years, prices have dropped as the country goes through a financial reform making it affordable for a wider pool of travellers. Safety has also improved. A recent Gallop report ranked Egypt as safer than the US and the UK after respondents were asked about their feelings walking at night, experiences with theft, and confidence in local police. In the wake of these changes, Egyptian Tourism Minister Rania Al Mashat expects more than 8 million visitors this year.
As tourists return, Egypt offers a unique opportunity to capture more than just the American and European millennial travel market. As a predominately Muslim country, Egypt could be a gateway to the growing market for millennial muslim tourists. This might mean offering a halal verification badge for listed apartments— confirming that the accommodation is in accordance with Islamic rules. Already, two Airbnb spinoffs— Muzbnb and Book Halal Homes— have appeared on the scene to address this growing market. To be certified on Book Halal Homes, listings include "halal food, non-alcoholic drinks, non-smoking areas, private pools and spas, prayer facilities on site."
According to a study conducted by HalalTrip in 2017, millennial halal travellers are predicted to spend over $100 billion by 2025. Halal Homes founder Karima Bihaki told MENAbytes, "As a Muslim woman, I feel safer, more myself, and enjoy my time away more when staying in a private home as opposed to a packed noisy hotel." The study details that these young travellers take multiple trips per year and are looking for the kind of experience Airbnb already offers: authentic with an emphasis on experiencing local culture.
If Airbnb decides to invest in Egypt's potential, Samah will be ready. She already has three apartments on the platform and would be interested in adding another. In the meantime, if she has any problems, it would be nice if someone could give her a call back.

Not too much of a change, but I'm exited for next week just to see how this will end up.
I'm really starting to understand more in the world of Webdesign. However, I have to keep my tongue straight in my mouth, cause it seems like if you misunderstand, or make a small mistake, it really takes a lot of effort to straighten out again. (Especially if you don't understand where the error has been made…).
Also, I haven't quite started this periods mandatory hand-in just yet. Really felt lost when starting up this subject, so I figured I get more into the learning activities before creating the website that we are supposed to.
Feels like I'm getting ready now though, and might just take some time away from my little baby boy to get things started.

Are you living with severely damaged or even missing teeth? Are these problems keeping you from enjoying the foods you love? We want to help you enjoy your food this holiday season — please consider our restorative dentistry services as a way to improve your functionality and get you back to your normal life. We understand the woes associated with severely damaged or missing teeth and we want to help. The team at Andrew Dine, DDS in Fairfield, OH can offer you crowns and dentures as solutions to your dental problems.
Don't Let Damaged or Missing Teeth Keep You Down!
Did you know that damaged or missing teeth can actually lead to malnutrition? If you are unable to eat the foods you love — which may include crunchy or crisp foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables — your health could truly suffer. We want to make sure you get the nutrition you need to feel great for many years to come!
Being unhappy with your smile because you are unable to eat can also lead to depression, dissatisfaction with life in general, and other total-system problems. To avoid this, let us help you get the care you need. Read on to learn more about two of our most popular restorative solutions and how they can help you eat the foods you love again.
Repair Your Damage With Crowns
If you have damaged teeth and would like to repair your smile in time to eat all of the wonderful holiday foods, consider our dental crowns. Crowns are designed to completely replace the outside surface of your tooth to repair the structural integrity of the tooth and give it a nice clean appearance. If you have experienced tooth decay, injury, or other damaged, a crown could be the solution you need.
We understand that damage can be painful. Let us get rid of any decay and restore the health of your tooth. This process will help eliminate your pain and get you looking and feel great!
Replace Your Teeth With Dentures
If you are completely missing some or all of your natural teeth, we can help with that too. We meet patients every day who are looking for a tooth replacement option that can help them eat the foods they love once more. We understand the inconvenience and the embarrassment associated with it. Let's talk about dentures and how they can be used to restore your smile and allow you to enjoy the holiday with your family.
We offer both removable and implant-supported dentures. Removable dentures are what you may think of when someone says "dentures." They are replacement teeth that are set into a gum-colored mold that fits over your gums. We offer both full and partial dentures. Whether you are missing just some or all of your teeth, we can help. We also offer the option of conventionally crafted dentures or immediate same-day dentures. All of our dentures are crafted to look nice and fit as securely as possible.
Implant-supported dentures offer a bit of additional strength compared to removable dentures. Because these dentures are secured into the mouth using dental implants, they are slightly more effective at restoring your natural ability to chew. Both options are designed to look and feel great in your mouth, but the type you choose will depend on your specific situation and needs. Implant-supported dentures are a great way to get a little bit of extra security if you are worried about your teeth moving around in your mouth.
Our dentures, removable or implant-supported, will help you better enjoy all of the foods you love this holiday season.
Schedule An Appointment With Dr. Dine Today
If you are ready to eat the foods you love once more, please contact our Fairfield, OH dental office to schedule an appointment. We would be happy to examine your situation and discuss what options may be best for you. We want you to feel confident and be able to enjoy your meals again. Restore your smile just in time for the holidays — call our office at [tel] to schedule your appointment today.

Puer's Spanish Rice
1 cup brown rice (prepared)
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons salsa or 2 oz diced tomatoes
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dark chili powder
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon cilantro
First, prepare the rice. In my rice cooker, that means taking 1 mini-cup of
rice, rinsing it off and pouring off the excess water, and placing that in the rice cooker with 2 mini-cups of water. Additionally, I put in about 1 teaspoon of olive oil, which keeps the rice loose and prevents the water from bubbling out the steam hole and making a mess. I mix about half the oil directly in the rice, and the other half goes around the edges on top of the water.
Then mix the prepared rice with the remaining seasonings and stir very well. Rice tends to be sticky, so it make take some extra effort to get things stirred together properly.
I don't add the chili, pepper, or cilantro. Those are strictly optional, and depend mainly on what sort of salsa you are using. If you are using diced tomatoes, you'll definitely need to add extra seasonings. I personally prefer Trader Joe's Habanero and Lime Salsa, which has an excellent flavour and just the right combination of seasonings. The other advantage of using salsa is that diced tomatoes generally come in cans, and don't store well once opened. If you tried to use an entire can of diced tomatoes, that would normally work out to 8 cups of rice, which is a very large amount of rice.
I've tried this with both white and brown jasmine rice, and I find that the white jasmine rice ends up making the dish a bit too bland. If you use white rice, you might want to increase the seasonings a bit.

I am sadly dissapointed about the fact that Circus Captivity is listed among types of accepted types of practises. I can understand that in some few cases, captivity in zoos with research purposes may be somehow accepted but I don´t agree at all with captivity with recreational purposes.
Thank you!

Me encantó el curso y su enfoque bien actualizado. Sin embargo el uso de plataformas interactivas extras para el curso no me funcionaron en ninguna de las semanas del mismo. Pero a pesar de eso, y sabiendo de los temas a tratar en el curso, estoy muy satisfecha en cuanto a la enseñanza de esta área de la ciencia animal que viene aumentando su importancia a lo largo de todo el mundo en los últimos años. En mi rubro este certificado será de mucha utilidad y ojala sea una forma de vincular mi carrera en estudios futuros en una excelente institución como lo es la respetable Universidad de Edimburgo. Muchas Gracias

I am a Veterinary student of HSTU in Bangladesh(Asia). It was an awesome journey to all with my new teachers! I am glad to get them. That was my first course in Coursera, As I have not enough money to purchase this course, I really thank the authority to make this valuable course for free. It really helps to the persons who are financially poor enough to buy this. I have learned a lot that can't be described in a few sentences. Hope I'll able to apply it in my practical life as well as in any needs. Best wishes to all of my respective teachers. I wish if I were work with you in the future!

The material was not as engaging as I would have liked. It would have been better if there were graphs in slide form that I could easily drag and drop to save alongside my notes in Word. The quizzes didn't always tell you why your answer was wrong/which answer was correct. There was one speaker, who thankfully only appeared in one video with a heavy Scottish (I believe) accent that I was completely unable to understand. I did learn a few things about how animals are housed and treated in the farming industry, something which I'm fairly knowledgeable about already, such as the exact measurements of the confines across the globe and which countries produce the most product, but I otherwise already knew all of the information. Some videos, especially at the beginning of the course were extremely repetitive, and therefore I lost interest and became frustrated very early on with this course, which has impacted my overall rating and view of the course. If I had felt engaged during these videos, it wouldn't have mattered that I didn't learn a lot of new information, because it still would have held my interest. I'm glad I stuck with it and finished the course.

This course is amazing !! You will learn the "foundations" of animal welfare and behavior which is very important to know (for everybody, not just the ones who want to work with animals!! It's a matter of humanity...)

Industry veterans Yadira Harrison and Shannon Simpson Jones, who previously worked on the Airbnb account at Civic Entertainment Group, have launched agency/consultancy Verb.The group will focus on integrated and experiential campaigns, brand partnerships and proprietary platforms for clients, including Amazon Web Services, Lyft, CRWN Magazine and Nielsen. Its first work for Nielsen will launch at Cannes.Harrison and Jones met at Civic Entertainment Group four years ago and have both agency and brand-side experience, allowing them to offer a distinct perspective as a brand partner. In addition to Airbnb, they have worked with clients including Macy's, Pennzoil and WeWork."For us, it wasn't about leaving one agency to create another," Jones said in a statement. "It was about offering brands a new type of partner. We use our industry knowledge and client-service talents to build extensions of a brand's in-house team, applying our expertise in proprietary platforms, partnerships and integrated campaigns to help brands excel to new heights." "We know the pain points facing brands and agencies today because we've been on both sides," Harrison added. "We now know the right questions to ask and the best way to manage organizational politics. Verb will take action to create a more trusting and transparent relationship between agency and client."Verb will be leading programming and events for Nielsen at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity next month.Theirs is not the only company to combine the agency and consultancy models in recent months. Los Angeles' Wolfgang, for example, has seen considerable success in billing itself as the same sort of hybrid, winning AOR status for Panda Express and Halo Top as well as a rebranding assignment for TRUECar.

Lisren To "Young Nigga" By Ralo Featurig Young Thug, Lil Yachty & Lil Uzi Vert
Atlanta rapper Ralo links up with Young Thug, Lil Yachty and Lil Uzi Vert on his latest single "Young Nigga". The record will appear on his next project Famerican Gangster 2, due out on February 12th.
He explains to Complex:
"Young Thug is a real life gangster and he's supported me since the beginning. Him and I were in the studio and he introduced me to Lil Uzi and he started ad-libbing the hook and the song came together.
I really wanted Lil Yachty on this song because I said something about him in an interview that was wrong. I apologized about it because I didn't even know him at the time. Collaborating with guys like Thug and Yachty helped me to break into the blogs and mainstream media. I already had the streets locked."

SINGAPORE - Singapore-born violin virtuoso Vanessa Mae may have been a millionaire at an early age, but she claims her mother's "Tiger Mum" discipline techniques have taken an emotional toll on her.
Born in Singapore, Mae moved to London when she was four with her mother, Mrs Pamela Tan Nicholson, a Chinese-born pianist and lawyer, after her natural parents split up and her mother remarried.
She learnt to play the violin and to ski that year, showing musical talent, and was soon sent to Beijing's Central Conservatory of Music for training.
By 13, she had recorded three classical albums and, at 15, caused a furore when she posed in a white see-through dress on the cover of her pop album, The Violin Player, reported Britain's Daily Mail.
She has sold an estimated 10 million albums and is worth at least £40 million (S$84 million).
But her success was at a price, she said.
The 35-year-old said that when she was a child, her mother used violence to discipline her and made her kowtow on her knees twice to punish her.
"It's a subservience thing, not forgetting who is boss,' said Mae. "I was made to pull my ears at the same time."
When she did not play a piece perfectly, she said her mother and her music teacher would slap her.
"Up until I was 20, if my mother was upset, she'd be hitting away," she said. "She'd hit me on the arms and the face. It was just her form of expression.
"I was in Lyon once, and my mother and music trainer were both upset with me because of some playing issue.
"They both hit me at the same time, then said, 'Stay here, we're going out. And by the way, load the dishwasher.' Maybe I wasn't thinking about my career enough.
"My trainer stopped hitting me when I was 15, after I hit him back and he started to cry."
Her mother recently reached out to her when Mae represented Thailand at the Sochi Winter Olympics in the women's ski event. She finished last in a field of 67 competitors, reported Reuters. Mae said she has not been in touch with her mother since the games.

British schoolchildren who express support for a Palestinian State in school are being questioned by police and referred to a counter-radicalization program, according to a story by Al-Jazeera English.
At the beginning of July, new legislation came into force, requiring teachers in the UK to report any students that they deem at risk of radicalization to police. Teachers report being given training where examples of reportable behaviour such as children expressing ideas such as Islam being at war with the West, or attending protests against the Israeli bombing of Gaza were used.
One teenaged Shia Muslim boy spoke to Al-Jazeera about an encounter with a police officer after bringing a Boycott Israel pamphlet to school. When the police officer questioned the boy about his views, the boy explained that he supported a free Palestine and that he though Israel should be boycotted. The police officer told him that these were "terrorist-like beliefs" and explicitly told the boy that he was not allowed to discuss his opinions with his classmates. The boy was also told that the "Free Palestine" badges that he wore to school were "extremist".
The police officer also questioned the boy at length about ISIL, somehow failing to grasp that ISIL is made up of radical Sunni Muslims who routinely massacre Shia as apostates. They boy was referred to a counter radicalization program, and as soon as he turned 16 he left school.
I wonder what would have happened if the boy had been a white kid who had gotten the boycott Israel pamphlet from his local Anglican Vicar? After all, the Synod of the Church of England has voted in favour of disinvestment in Israel.
It would be one thing if the kid was talking about driving the Israelis into the sea, but all he was doing was expressing support for the two state solution.
