And, it comes to pass. The President of India, Pranab Mukherjee, signed the Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance 2013, after it was cleared by the Cabinet on Friday. The aim is to punish those who commit sexual violence against women. The Ordinance was based primarily on the recommendations of the Justice Verma Committee.
Most women's groups are up in arms at the Ordinance, which they believe has blunted the teeth of the Verma Committee recommendations. As Kavitha Krishnan, Secretary of the All India Progressive Women's Association (AIPWA) states, the problems with the ordinance are:
1) Gender neutrality retained, which means that a man can accuse a woman of rape
2) Criminalisation of consensual sexual activity between 16-18 years retained
3) Marital rape not exemption retained – they actually shamelessly admit that 'marital non-consensual sexual intercourse' was criminalised by Verma but they will not! So 'non-consensual' is not rape as long as it's within marriage – and by extension the lower punishment for rape of separated wife is retained.
4) Command responsibility rejected
5) Verma's rejection of requirement of sanction in case of judge/magistrate/public servant and army officer (the latter thru amendment in AFSPA) has not been accepted
UPA 2 has faced two major public protests in the last four years. The first was the anti-corruption movement led by Anna Hazare that became a lightning rod for disenchanted citizens. There was a demand for a Jan Lok Pal Bill that, the protesters believed, would solve all issues of corruption. The Government promised a Jan Lok Pal, but could not deliver. The second major protest was after the brutal Delhi Gang rape case. The UPA's first reaction to the protesters was to water canon them, but then, seeing the unabated fury of people, it did promise stronger legislation aimed at curtailing violence against women, and stronger punishment for those who commit these acts of violence. With the budget session of Parliament likely to be stormy, if parliamentarians turn up to work, and elections around the corner – the Government decided to follow what was called the Politician's Logic by one of the most famous civil servants, albeit fictional, in history, Sir Humphrey Appleby ( Yes Prime Minister)
"We must do something.
This is something.
Therefore we must do it."
While women's organizations are up in arms, the general message that is going out is that Government has heard the people's anger and responded to it. First by setting up the committee, and the second by not waiting for Parliament to reconvene, passing an ordinance that will lead to better safety and security for women.
The ordinance has been passed in record time – less than 10 days after the Justice Verma Committee presented its recommendations. It seems to be the Government's way of telling some very angry women, across the country and across the political spectrum – look we have done something. But, this something seems to be more out of short term electoral compulsions than long term systemic change. Sir Humphrey Appleby has the apt description once again ""To watch a Cabinet Minister in action is to watch the endless subordination of important long-term issues to the demands of urgent trivia." In this case, replace the Cabinet Minister with the Cabinet – and the ordinance will make sense. Laws cannot be made to assuage public opinion. They have to be passed to make a tangible difference to society.
As per the Constitution, the President can promulgate an ordinance when the Parliament is in recess, but the ordinance itself has to be laid before the houses of Parliament and debated and passed, or it will lapse. But, come before Parliament it must. There is no point outraging on the Ordinance – it is in any case a stopgap measure. The thing to do is to ensure that the agenda is not diverted. That Members of Parliament are lobbied to do the right thing. That rape of any form, within the house or outside it; by a stranger or by a family member; by a friend or a lover; by a husband or a boyfriend; by a man in uniform or a politician is taken to be what it is – a crime. A crime that is punished severely.
But, this needs to be more than the debate on just what constitutes a crime and what is the quantum of punishment. While we may all want more severe punishments for the guilty, what would also help is a road map that puts into place the collection and collation of evidence, the use of science in crimes like this, training personnel to deal with these, and the building of system that deal with rape, sexual assault and the aftermath. Furthermore, there needs to be debate on systemic reform. On the police and judicial reforms that have been called for by Justice Verma committee. On the curtailing of powers of social groups like the khaps, of dealing with issues like sex education, and the issues posed by political parties choosing men accused of sexual assault or rape to fight elections on their behalf. These may not all happen at the same time, but there needs to be a plan that ensures that this comes to pass.
The ordinance is short term. The fight for laws that ensure better safety and security for women, a better system of policing for communities, and a better criminal justice system for all – is the big one. There is still time to get the law that is more effective.

It may be hot and blazing but now is the best season to tank up on cooling detox drinks that also help cleanse your body from within. So don't worry about having to live with the heat when you can not only calm your body from within but also get that several additional benefits. Weight loss, improved digestion, improved energy and inner calm will be some of the good effects of drinking these three special summer coolers – asides from keeping you feeling fresh and hydrated all day long.
All of these drinks are based on natural ingredients and can still be made in large amounts and refrigerated.
1. Watermelon and Cucumber Cooler
This is a great accompaniment to breakfast and a tall glass also quenches mid-meal hunger pangs. This concoction combines two most hydrating summer foods. The silica present in cucumber is a great detox agent, while watermelon is a natural diuretic and helps flush out toxins. Simply blitz equal amounts of watermelon and cucumber and add rock salt and jeera powder to taste. Garnish with mint leaves and serve chilled.
2. Apple & Cinnamon Weight Loss Drink
Not only does this delicious water not have any calories, but it's also perfect for slimming down and ridding your body of harmful toxins. It also helps to boost your metabolism. Simply take ten glasses of plain filtered water in a vessel and bring to a boil with a two-inch cinnamon stick and a small petal of star anise. When it cools down to room temperature, add three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, a tablespoon of honey and a medium apple, grated, to it. Refrigerate and drink through the day. Apples are great for fibre, cinnamon, star anise and honey curb appetite, while lemons and apple cider vinegar cleanse and burn fat.
3. 5-star detox drink
I got the recipe for this drink from an Ayurvedic doctor, and I must say I feel far less bloated ever since I have been having this excellent take on the plain-Jane nimbupani. Boil 1o glasses of water with five tulsi leaves, five peppercorns, a 2-inch stick of cinnamon, a teaspoon of aniseed (saunf), and a pinch of ajwain, and a tablespoon of grated ginger. Once it cools down to room temperature, add two tablespoons of honey, a teaspoon of salt and the juice of two lemons. The sweetness or sourness can be increased or decreased to taste. Have this drink at least thrice a day for a week and you will notice the difference.

What a difference 12 months make for Russian team-mates Svetlana Shkolina and Natalya Antyukh. While Shkolina has seen her fortunes soar this year, Antyukh has plummeted from the dizzy heights she occupied in 2012.
At the London Olympics, Shkolina made her bow into the world's high jumping elite with bronze behind fellow Russian and star of the bar Anna Chicherova.
Over on the track, Antyukh was scorching round the Stratford oval in imperious fashion to collect 400m Hurdles gold, becoming the sixth-fastest woman in history.
But 2013 has presented an entirely different picture. While Shkolina created one of the upsets of the IAAF World championships in Moscow by taking gold, a dejected Antyukh exited her home championships at the semi-final stage.
"Yes, it was frustrating," agreed Antyukh, "but nothing was broken. It wasn't ideal, but that is sport and I am completely aware that we are athletes, not robots. What am I supposed to do? I am flesh and blood."
Her season's best of 55.20 did not even come at the World Championships but at the national trials on the same track one month earlier. It was Antyukh's slowest season's best since switching back from the 400m flat to the hurdles.
Despite converting bronze to gold in the space of 12 months, Shkolina – who is not renowned for her effusiveness – had to defend herself before the Russian media against her low-key reaction to winning the World title.
"What do you expect me to do?" she said. "Some people jump for joy, but I express my emotions more modestly. That's the way I am. I don't specifically hold back. Jumping for joy is just not me."
In contrast to Antyukh who did not win a single race this year, apart from her heat in the trials, Shkolina enjoyed a full house of victories. Even after winning the World title, she maintained her discipline.
Realising that outright victory in the Diamond Race was within her grasp, she was not about to drop her guard. "I arrived in Brussels in good shape and I did not feel particularly tired," she said.
"I knew I had victory within my grasp and that motivated me to keep my shape for the final meeting of the season. I always believed I would win and I am now extremely happy about winning the Diamond League as well as the World title."
Retirement not an option
Now 32, the idea was floated that Antyukh might be considering retirement after such a low-key campaign, but she is having none of it.
"I am not even thinking of it," she said. "There is next season (European Championships in Zurich), then the season after that (World Championships in Beijing) and then it is the Olympics again in Rio, God willing. But for myself I have already made the decision. I will not retire," she emphasised.
As for Shkolina, she is basking in the congratulations of her supporters instead of fending off questions about retirement.
"Fortunately, just as everyone started to congratulate me on winning the World title, they continued after I had won the Diamond League," she said. "Relatives, friends and acquaintances believed that I would win, they expected it. And when so many people believe in you, it creates and gives you extra strength and energy."
Four years and two different clubs separate Shkolina and Chicherova. Since both have reserved personalities, they may seem cold towards each other, but Shkolina is adamant there is no real enmity.
"We are not friends. We enjoy a normal, warm but strictly professional relationship. We do not have anything to do with each other outside competition. When I am on the High Jump fan I try not to look at anyone else. Usually, between jumps, I watch the competition in other events."
No more relays for Antyukh
While Shkolina celebrates, Antyukh is philosophical about this season. "Last year I won everything. It is not possible for God to give you everything and then even more. He had to take something away and he went and took a medal from the Worlds.
"It just did not work out. It was not the track so I cannot blame that. Before I would have cried and been upset, but now I take it all very calmly."
She can hardly complain. In an international career stretching more than 11 years, apart from Olympic gold, two silvers and a bronze, she has won World Championship medals in both the 400m and the 400m Hurdles, as well as the 4x400m indoors and out.
But one thing Antyukh is definitely going to retire from is the relay. "There are plenty of girls for that so I am going take a rest," she said.
Shkolina is more concrete about her plans. After a month of rest, holidaying in Turkey, it will be back to work with a view to the winter season and the IAAF World Indoor Championships to be held in 2014 in Sopot, Poland.
"After my holiday is when I shall begin serious training," she insisted.

Projects For Kids
Looking for a new hobby or projects for kids to do this summer? Wood working can be great fun for children. Not only that but it can also stimulate and encourage their creativity. Many people would think that it is a difficult job and that young children will not be able to do this type of hobby. However, it all depends upon what is being made.
Kids can do simple wood working projects, which are of their capacity. On the other hand, older children can make complex things. Thus, wood working can be a hobby for kids of all different age groups and genders to enjoy.
Ideally, parents too need to have some involvement in the child's wood working project. The right time for wood working projects is the summer holidays, during winter or spring break, or at any other spare time during the year.
Parents can help kids in deciding which project to undertake. Kids normally will wish to make something big. This may be well out of their capacity. However, the project that is selected should be attractive enough to the child, and even then, it should be simple and practical for them so that they will actually want to finish it.
Some of the more common and popular wood working projects for children are small furniture toys, i.e., tables, chairs, beds, doll houses, tic-tac-toe boards, etc., and are the most ideal. They involve some creativity and the kids will enjoy working on them.
Pen or crayon holders, too, are simple to make. They are useful for the kids, as they can use them for storing their own pens and crayons. Similarly, they can also make frames for photos or stands for different small articles, etc.
Above are only a few simple wood working projects that children can make. The older children, however, can get involved in more complex wood working projects.
The simple wood working projects for kids do not involve the use of the wood working machines. Rather just the use of the wood working tools should be enough. Moreover, cutting and other processing activities may need strength that the kids will not be able to do by themselves. Therefore, parents should guide and help the child during such activities.
As wood working projects for kids are very common, there are many books available that will contain some simple wood working projects just for children. Just like the books for other types of crafts, these books also contain a number of small projects. Projects outlined in these types of books are specially designed for kids, and, therefore, can be done quite comfortably.
Wood working projects for kids can become a hobby that gives your child a sense of pride, having made something "cool" using their very own hands. These items can be kept in their rooms or shown off throughout other parts of the home to display as decorative pieces.

German Version
History in short
The prototypes and series production cars of the Sprint Speciale were introduced to the public at the following occasions:
The Prototypes
"Handbuilt ... and decidedly expensive".This is the title of a English sales brochure from the beginning of the sixties. And it goes on: "The Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 SS - For the man who has everything, here is the car to keep him company. ... The price is GBP 2394.1.3 including tax. Expensive ? Naturally ! What else would you expect a hand-built Alfa to be ?". The Giulia SS a luxury coupe ?! Well more or less, but that was not the original idea when the car was originally conceived by Bertone in the fifities.
During that time Alfa Romeo enjoyed a surprising success with their little Giuliettas. The coupe versions the Giulietta Sprint and even more the Sprint Veloce were also successful on the race track. But there was competition from another Alfa. Zagato built a lighter version of the Sprint Veloce - the SVZ (Sprint Veloce Zagato) on special request from his customers. The SVZ was not an official Alfa model but is was considerably faster than the Sprint Veloces and more successful on the race tracks. So there had to be an (official) answer from Alfa and Bertone.
At that time Bertone and his chief designer Franco Scaglione - he was in charge of the design studio from 1951 to1959 - experimented with aerodynamic shapes. The results were the dramatic styling exercises BAT 5, BAT 7 and BAT 9 (BAT = Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica). Built on 1900 Sprint chassis they explored streamlining and aeorodynamic possibilities ... and served as show cars as well.
So for the new high-performance Alfa coupe Scaglione used the experiences gained from the BATs and designed a coupe on a shortened (130mm) Giulietta Sprint platform.
This protoype was internally called the Sprint Spinta. The general teardrop-like shape was reminiscent of the BAT 9, especially the roof line and viewed from above. There was no traditional Alfa grille, instead there was an Ferrari-like egg-crate grille. There were also no bumpers. The flashing lights were situated on the side between headlamp and wheelarch. The squalo featured large front and rear overhangs and it was 110mm lower than the standard Giulietta Sprint. The tapering rear was cut off sharply - the so-called Kamm-tail (after the theories of Prof. Wunibald Kamm). This became really popular on racing cars some years later during the sixties. At the rear there were single small taillights and a script saying Giulietta Speciale. Between the rear wheelarches and the tail there were chromed "bumpers". The windscreen wipers had divergent wiper blades and inside there was no rear view mirror.
The panels were made out of aluminium and the rear quarter windows and the rear window were made of plexiglass. Extensive tests were carried out to improve the form of the car. First scale models were tested in the Moto Guzzi wind tunnel; then testing with the prototype moved to the Milan-Turin autostrada. Wool tufts were attached to the car to show the airflow at speed - it revealed a drag coefficient around 0.28.
The engine was basically a standard Sprint Veloce but due to production tolerances had 10 percent more power. It also had a 5-speed gearbox - a sensation for that time !
This protoype was presented in October/November 1957 in Turin as the Sprint Speciale.
A second protoype was prepared for the Geneva Auto Salon in March 1958, maybe it was the rebodied Turin prototype. There were some modifictions to make the car more usable: the front and rear overhangs had been reduced (at the front by 50mm) also the droop of hood and trunk. The overall height was increased by 20mm.
That was by far not the last stage in the evolution. A third prototype appeared a few month later at the Turin Autosalon. It foreshadowed the "definitive" form of the production model: the overhangs were again reduced. It now had two horizontal round lights at the rear with the reflectors placed in between. At the front the flashing lights moved from the side to below the headlights. But most noticeable of all was the addition of the traditional Alfa heart at the front.
Another addition was the small plexiglass shield in front of the windscreen. You will find two theories in the literature: a bug deflector and a aerodynamic help for the windscreen wipers, so that they won't lift off the windscreen at high speeds. From my experience I think its the first one: after driving on the highway this plexiglass screen is full of insects whereas there are almost none on the windscreen. Other changes were the convergent wiper blades.
Giulietta SS - The 750 SS Low Noses
The official presentation for the press was on 24.June 1959 on the Monza race track. Around 20 cars were present at the race track for testing. As we can assume from the selection of this special location Alfa still had racing in mind with their new coupe.
Changes since the last protoype were the five slots cut in the bonnet to reduce overpressure in the engine compartment. This time the (bigger) rear lights were arranged vertically with the reflector placed beside. The interior was not as spartan as the prototypes. A new Nardi-designed steering wheel was added as well as a rear view mirror. There is also evidence that some minor changes were made throughout this initial production run.
The first production run were the so-called "low-nose" SS. Although most of the car are 101 parts the ID plate says 750SS. The serial #'s are from AR10120 0001 to AR 10120 0101. These 101 cars (100 is the minimum for FIA GT class homologation) were produced mostly throughout 1959, five examples were produced in 1960 (no, not the last chassis numbers, but number 00002, 00004, 00005, 00007, 00008). 60 SSs were painted red (Rosso Alfa), 40 white (Bianco Gardenia) and one grey (Grigio Charissimo).
Four cars were explicitly called alleggerita in the production statistics (serial #: 00004, 00005, 00007, 00009). So maybe these were the only all-aluminium bodied cars - the rest featured doors hood and trunk made in aluminium.
Giulietta SS - The "Second Series"
During the first year it became clear that the Giulietta SS was too heavy to be a serious contender for Zagatos SVZ. As a comparison: the SVZs power-to-weight ratio is 8,3 kg/HP whereas the SSs is 8,6 kg/HP. Once again Zagato entered the scene. This time with official Alfa support they built a racing coupe on the SS platform - the SZ. This was much more the racer Alfa has originally intended and it revived the old relationship between Alfa and Zagato and led eventually to a series of racing cars (SZ2, TZ, TZ2). By the way the SZs power-to-weight ratio is 7,7 kg/HP.
So what should Alfa do with the SS ? They decided to relaunch the car as a high-performance, top-of-the-line coupe. Gone were the aluminium doors (but it retained aluminium bonnet and boot lid) and the plexiglass windows. The nose section was again modified as all of the fenderlines - the front (including the headlamps) was raised about 70mm to conform to US regulations. Bumpers were fitted front and rear. The bootlid now extended right to the edge of the tail. Also the interior was changed and became more comfortable. Minimal sound padding was added. This new version was presented at the Geneva Autosalon in 1960.
Mechanically the engine changed from 750 specifications to 101 series. This means several detail changes to the engine were made including the fitting of new carburetors (Weber DCOE2 instead of DCO3). The type designation now officially changed from 750SS to 101.20.
This version now was the final version which was not greatly changed until the production of the SS stopped in 1966.
Giulia SS
The Giulia SS was introduced in March 1963 at the Geneva Auto Salon. It was fitted with the 112 bhp 1600ccm engine that was later to appear in the TI Super and Spider Veloce and the standard TZ. The first 200 cars were fitted with the three-shoe drum brake on front, the later models had disc brakes. The car was capable of reaching 200 km/h. Road & Track tested the car in May 1966 and found: "The additional torque of the 1570-cc engine is at once delightfully apparent to those who have driven the 1290-cc version. ... The engine's liveliness and flexibility unquestionably adds greatly to the driver's pleasure"
Externally the car could be distinguished from the Giulietta by the different flashing lights and side scripts, which first read Giulia SS and later 1600 SS.
The interior became also more comfortable: the instruments on the dashboard had a different arrangement, the bottom of the dashboard was padded with the same material as the seats. There is a big handle on the passenger side (which is badly needed, because the seats offer little support). An ashtray was added on top of the gearbox tunnel behind the gearshift lever. The area behind the seats now looked like a real bench for passengers, but was only good for luggage - there was no room in the trunk for it anyway. The only thing which was quite out of place in the interior was the yellow VDO-window-washer bag placed to the left of the clutch pedal.
The Giulia SS was produced until 1966 - at that time it was the last survivor of the 101 series.

Barack Obama gets re-elected, but what if?
No president has ever won an election with an unemployment rate greater than 7.1% but with yet another historic win, Barack Obama was able to pull it off in a very tightly contested race. As of 11am Florida had yet to declare a winner and was considered the key state in the election.
At 11:18pm eastern, President Barack Obama was declared the winner of the election with the electoral votes from Ohio sealing the win. At first, Governor Mitt Romney refused to concede, but once Colorado had been decided, Romney had called President Barack Obama to concede and also congratulate him in what was described as a brief polite conversation. At 1:30am President Barack Obama delivered his victory speech. He promised to come together with Republicans to find ways to lower the deficit as well as other key issues. "I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together. Reducing our deficit. Reforming our tax code. Fixing our immigration system. Freeing ourselves from foreign oil. We've got more work to do."
In the most expensive election in history, six billion dollars was spent campaigning. What we learned from that amount is that it didn't really make a difference. The United States still remains divided and progress is still going to be a struggle. During his victory speech Obama reiterated his optimism for the future, "Despite all the hardship we've been through, despite all the frustrations of Washington, I've never been more hopeful about our future." It remains to be seen what the future holds but if his speech is any indication of how the future will unfold, it does look promising.
Obama's speech was bland up until the end when he started talking with passion and fire. At the end of his speech it looked like he was fighting back tears. He gets a second chance to turn the United States economy around, to lower the deficit and improve foreign relations.
A lot of us were glued to the television, waiting for the results. If only we had the same passion for our own politics things could be a little bit better for all of us. If we had a leader that showed the fire and determination that President Barack Obama had shown during his campaign. One of the most hated questions, "what if?" It leaves us in despair but to make a change in your own country, it starts with simply having your voice be heard. You can do that by casting a vote, familiarizing yourself with the political parties so you can have a better understanding of which views you support. If only we cared more about our own politics. What if?

Welcome to the November issue of The Grocery Trader, the monthly title for Britain's multiple grocers. In America they've got Donald v Hillary. Here, we've been enthralled with our own Punch and Judy-style dust up between two of our biggest grocery giants, Unilever and Tesco, with newspaper headlines screaming about Marmite disappearing from Tesco's shelves. The row was sparked by Unilever wanting to raise their wholesale prices to compensate for the pound's slide in value thanks to Brexit. It all got a bit Shakespearean, with Dave Lewis, Tesco CEO, taking arms against his former Unilever brothers. All's well that ends well – for now anyway…
In our features we look at Table Talk – sauces and condiments – and The Lite Stuff, taking in Low, No, Free From alternatives. Many products in both categories are either imported or made here with imported ingredients. Following the Tesco-Unilever dispute, presumably we'll soon see price rises across the board from other suppliers, hopefully agreed in more amicable settlements.
It will be interesting to see if Brexit makes us more insular in our sauce habits, prompting a decline in the number of imported dressings and sauces on our shelves.
Meanwhile as our Lite Stuff feature argues, the popular perception of products with low, no or reduced contents of particular ingredients used to be that these were pale imitations of the full blooded version and tasted inferior to the real thing. This idea has gradually been replaced in the public consciousness by the belief that we should all watch our intake of naughties, along with a commitment to regular exercise. And many of us, including skinnies, now consume lite versions wherever possible.
Also in this issue we have our quarterly Back of Store feature. Long before we gained notoriety in Europe because of the Brexit vote, Britain was famous on the Continent because we can't cope with our winter weather, unlike our haughty neighbours. When the slightest slurry of snow falls here, as we know everything traditionally grinds to a halt, even though the grocery supply chain usually manages to pick up again quickly. The disruption is of course highly entertaining for our Northern European friends, but not so funny for us. In recent months, home delivery operations like Amazon have been driving the UK major multiple grocers to improve their performance and achieve guaranteed delivery at extremely short notice. Given our historic poor performance in whiteouts, the pressure will be on Amazon and their grocery partners this winter to sustain their one-hour promises when the snows fall, as inevitably they will.
Have a good month and watch the weather forecast!

If this Sunday…
If this Sunday Times splash is anything to go by (Style cover, photographed by Neil Wilder, pictured), interior designer Paul Daly is developing a Nicky Haslam-like relationship with the national press. But that's nothing compared with stripey-saronged one's relationship with his pet python. 'Yeah, some girls are a bit freaked out by the size of my snake,' he drawls on an inside page, while the aforementioned Gonzalez drapes his slippery self over our hero's naked torso. Knob jokes, eh? Yawn.

Our Deluxe Amenities: Relax in Comfort
Why choose a country inn for your East Texas lodging accommodations? Because a personalized touch and a welcoming setting is so much better than the one-size-fits-all approach found in chain hotels. La Paz Bed and Breakfast is proud to offer kid-friendly lodging for a peaceful and welcoming getaway experience.
Attention to detail is what makes the difference between 'good enough' and 'exceptional' when it comes to our in-room amenities, linens, towels and robes. In previous lives, the innkeepers had the good fortune of staying at some of the world's best hotels and many top-notch bed and breakfast inns. They made notes during their travels as to which products and services made their experience better than expected and spent months sampling towels and shampoos, mattresses and pillows in preparation for opening their own inn. While these are the types of things that may go unnoticed if perfect, they can certainly mar a vacation experience when they are not.
Our goal is to provide guests with satisfying comfort and ease during their stay, even in the smallest details like provided toiletries, available snacks and beverages, and the welcoming feel that only a bed and breakfast can offer!
The five-star, hotel-quality linens adorning your bed and your closet are second to none: from the sheets, to the towels, to the shawl robes, you can expect nothing less than luxurious comfort.
- Comphy Company sheets are eco-friendly microfiber with the look and feel of 600 count cotton. They are highly recommended for people with sensitive skin.
- The towels, from The Turkish Towel Co., are made with thick, closely woven loops of the finest Turkish cotton, making them sumptuously soft.
- Pamper yourself with our Cypress microfiber shawl robes found in each suite: they are luxurious, but light as a feather.
BeeKind™ Amenities
The Gilchrist & Soames BeeKind™ Collection is a sophisticated, yet nature-inspired option in luxurious bath and body products. Made with natural ingredients such as red clover, lemongrass, chamomile and calendula, this lemon verbena-scented line of products is a luxurious way to pamper your skin and your senses.
Gentle and soothing to the skin, these products are presented in recyclable packaging. Gilchrist & Soames' relationship with the University of California offers something back to nature: the company supports the University's Honey Bee Research Program, which studies sustainable pollination and the honeybees themselves, through donations of a portion of BeeKind™ Collection product sales.

Valuation Management Group is highlighting a unique home that has historical significance, was designed by a famed architect, and features many intricate details. We think that you will find the details as interesting, as we did.
First, here is a little about the architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. He was an American architect whose designs were contemporary and modern for the era. He was also a notable interior designer, writer and educator. He designed over 1000 structures and 532 of those were completed. Many are still standing today. He died in 1959 at 91 years old. Many consider him to be the greatest architect of all time.
The featured home was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1957 and completed in 1960, after his death. The property's original owners still own their home where they raised their family and have lived for 57 years. They are now in their 90's and have put their home on the market for 1.395 million dollars. The home is located in Minnesota. It sits on a 3.77 acre parcel and is a relatively small home considering the asking price, with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and about 2600 square feet. The sale price may seem high, but can you really put a price on a one of a kind piece of history? Probably not an appraised value anyway.
As real estate appraisers, this property would be one that everyone wants to inspect, but no one really wants to appraise. The appraisal challenges would be numerous, but starting with there would be no sales with the same historical significance. How could you make an adjustment for a one -owner Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece? How do you adjust for the furniture that is part of the purchase price that was designed specifically for this house by the famous architect himself? In this case, it seems the market value will be determined by what a willing and knowledgeable buyer, acting prudently, is willing to pay for the home.
It is fascinating to consider the combined vision of Wright and the owners that lead to the design and build of a home that is still modern after 57 years. We hope you find this home as remarkable as we did. To view more information on this home, please CLICK HERE.
Valuation Management Group is a national, full service appraisal management service company that manages the appraisal process for financial institutions, banks, mortgage bankers, and credit unions. We offer the full array of commercial and residential appraisal products and services. We take the appraisal process from ordinary to extraordinary.

Does anyone do cemetery lookups for California? Daisy Elizabeth Creed Millard
I have been searching and searching for the cemetery or burial record or obituary for my grandmother, Daisy Elizabeth Creed Millard, who was born in August 28, 1894, Newton, Illinois, married Lester Ray Millard on November 06, 1915 in Pasadena, California, and passed away February 21, 1944 at her home in Pasadena, California from Hodgkin's. My dad, Everett Millard, was devastated, and was just about to leave for Ridgewell, England to join the 381st when he got the news from the American Red Cross.I thought she was buried at Mountain View Cemetery in Altadena, but cannot find her there with my limited resources. Any help in locating where she is buried or an obituary would be very greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

Norfolk mum's slow cooker fry-up gets 'overwhelming' reaction
PUBLISHED: 15:18 25 September 2018 | UPDATED: 14:02 26 September 2018
Sonia Cheetham
A mum of two from the Dereham area has set a trend for cooking fry-ups in a slow cooker.
Sonia Cheetham, 36, from Little Fransham, first suggested that people try cooking a full English in a slow cooker on the Facebook group Slow Cooker Wonders at the beginning of this month.
Since then her suggestion has gone viral, with a post sharing her idea receiving more than 27,000 shares on Facebook and recognition on ITV's This Morning.
Miss Cheetham said: "I use my slow cooker all the time and try loads of different things in it. I got sick of the fuss of fry-ups and the smoky smell so I thought I'd give it a go.
"Having cooked the sausages standing up I found that they cook and taste better than when you fry them as they're cooked slowly over night so the flavour is really tasty."
The mum of two said her slow cooker full English is a hit with her two daughters and that she loves how easy and hassle free it is to make.
"You can do it for a school night," she said. "It's as easy as pouring your kids a bowl of cereal."
Miss Cheetham advised not to add any oil or water to the slow cooker when making the meal, she just adds a knob of butter to her mushrooms and turns it on low for around nine hours.
"As a type one diabetic who has to watch my health, it's great that this method doesn't need as much fat added to cook as when you fry," she continued.
Miss Cheetham described the reaction to her idea on social media and in the press as "overwhelming".
She said: "My kids have been going into school and telling everyone that I'm famous."
Will you be trying a slow cooker fry-up? Let us know in the comments.

I'm one of very few Americans that suffer from TMS syndrome, i.e. Too Much Swag. While there are no current cures for the disease, I'm in no rush to rid myself of the problem.
However, TMS ultimately leads to worse things, like depression, because of finicky clothes that interfere with one of the biggest symptoms of TMS syndrome—perfectionism. The biggest culprit here is sweaters, which, if you hang them like I do, always end up with swag-destroying shoulder bumps.
When you hang heavier clothes on a hanger, like sweaters, the shoulders sag down on the hanger corners creating that stupid little bump that makes your clothes look silly. This also happens when you hang clothes that are not yet dry.
How to Fix Hanger Bumps on Clothes
You can fix this problem by dabbing the bumps with some warm water and padding it down until it goes away. However, that's a pain in the ass, and it's better to take a more preventative approach instead, like Joshua Davis does.
Grab your sweater, fold it in half (vertically), lay your hanger one top with the loop-end near the armpit, and then bring the bottom half of the sweater up towards the collar.
Now, fold over the sleeve to the far corner of the top/bottom of the sweater, then flip up the hanger like you're about to hang it, and you're done.
Hang your sweater in your closet and next time you put it on, you wont have to worry about people staring at your shoulders. For more images of the process, check out Joshua's sweater-hanging guide.

Students Turn a Bronx 'Crack House' Into Academic Haven for the Homeless
But the Bronx Regional High School student takes pride in the fact that, through his sweat and skill, he may be helping to provide future students with more of a reason to stay in school.
Mr. Marrero and 17 fellow Bronx Regional students are busy transforming an abandoned apartment building and former "crack house" a block from their school into the home that some of their classmates do not have.
In a unique experiment, Bronx Regional not only hopes to offer housing for its students who would otherwise sleep on the subway or live in institutional group homes, but also to create a residential setting whose academic environment rivals that of the nation's finest college-preparatory schools.
Officials at the 350-student alternative school, which accepts students from all over New York City who have not found success at other schools, estimate that about 10 percent of the school's students are homeless or have been placed in a supervised group home by the courts or by parents who have given up on them.
Another 20 to 30 students are considered to be at risk for homelessness because of their unstable or abusive home situations, said Raymond Green, who supervises a dropout-prevention program at Bronx Regional run by a private nonprofit group.
And Mark Weiss, Bronx Regional's principal, believes that all these troubled youths deserve a chance at the boarding-school experience.
"The children of people who expect [their] children to run the country go to boarding school," observed Mr. Weiss. "If democracy means anyone can run this country, then there ought to be boarding schools for kids of all backgrounds."
While there are a handful of other dormitories across the nation for public-school students, they typically are schools sponsored by the state.
Only one other municipal public high school is known to run its own dormitory: 97-student Crane Union High School in Crane, Ore., has had a dormitory for its rural, 8,100-square-mile district since 1919. This year, 48 students who live as far as 145 miles away board during the week and go home on weekends, according to William Thew, the school's principal.
To develop its dormitory project, Bronx Regional three years ago sought out a local nonprofit community group, Banana Kelly Community Improvement Association, which had experience in developing housing projects.
Even before a building was found for the dorm, the school and Banana Kelly had joined forces to begin a job-training program to give Bronx Regional students experience as construction workers.
The school and Banana Kelly are now in the process of buying the abandoned apartment house from the city for $1, said Yolanda Kelley, director of youth empowerment at Banana Kelly.
Renovation of the building began slightly more than a year ago and is targeted for completion in the fall of 1992. The five-story brick building eventually will contain single rooms for 20 students--males and females on separate floors--as well as classrooms, a kitchen, living room, recreation room, library, conference rooms, and staff apartments.
Funding for the project is provided from a variety of sources, but primarily from the city and state. The labor costs--students will do most of the work and earn the minimum wage along with course credit--are paid under a contract with the city's employment department.
Meanwhile, the bulk of money for the renovation materials, just over $1 million, is on its way from a housing program for the homeless run by the state department of social services.
About half of the dorm's operating costs are expected to come from the city's human-resources administration, which provides funds for children who need housing, Mr. Weiss said. But the rest of the estimated $400,000-a-year operating budget will have to be raised elsewhere.
The dormitory project has thus far garnered considerable national media attention as well as praise from education leaders.
Shirley McBay, president of the Quality Education for Minorities Network in Washington, which has advocated the creation of year-round residential academies for minority students, hailed the Bronx plan.
"I do think it's a good idea," she said. "It provides an opportunity for students to be in a supportive environment."
Timothy J. Dyer, executive director of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, called the dormitory "very commendable."
"They're trying to break this God-awful cycle of poverty," he added.
The flood of publicity has been welcomed by the school, which is now gearing up for a fund-raising drive. Checks and pledges of donations have begun arriving by mail and by phone, Mr. Weiss said, including an offer of assistance from the local alumni group of the exclusive Phillips Exeter Academy--an institution Mr. Weiss often cites as a model for his own school's experiment with boarders.
It was in 1988 that officials at Bronx Regional first considered tackling student homelessness themselves instead of merely referring students to shelters and other agencies, Mr. Weiss said.
The subject arose during discussions of a proposal to establish an academic institute that would focus on peace and social-justice issues by coordinating courses--such as those in Caribbean studies and the teachings of Malcolm X--already taught in the school, he said.
Some staff members "reared their heads," Mr. Weiss said, and suggested that the school address homelessness, a social issue that was an immediate concern in the school community.
A questionnaire distributed to students revealed that a significant number of students said they were "living where they did not want to be" and could use a dormitory, said Gaynor McCown, a Bronx Regional teacher and the liaison between the school and the Banana Kelly community group.
Ms. McCown said she knew of a handful of students who could use a dorm immediately, including a teenager who has lived with her toddler daughter in a homeless shelter since last September and has not attended school regularly.
Other students, she said, may sleep on the subway or bounce among the homes of relatives. Still others live in group homes or foster care.
"The need is there for sure," Ms. McCown said.
Students "put up with a lot of really terrible situations [at home] because they feel there is no place else for them to go," Mr. Green said.
Officials acknowledged that once the dorm is open, the number of applicants could easily outstrip the available spaces. In such a case, a waiting list similar to the one the school sometimes uses now for admissions could be instituted, Mr. Weiss said.
"We shouldn't not try to do the best that we can do just because it may have limitations," he said.
The dormitory project at Bronx Regional is not the school's first effort to provide more support services for students.
In 1984, the school decided to build an infant-and-toddler care center for the teenage parents among its students. Beginning with $10,000 in seed money from the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute in Hyde Park, N.Y., the school raised $300,000, Mr. Weiss said.
About 20 students now use the center, he said.
The goal of his staff is "to provide the best possible education ... whatever the needs of the kids are," Mr. Weiss said.
Also influencing the dormitory experiment is the success the school has had in sending about 15 students each year on city-funded scholarships to academic summer programs at the Cushing Academy, a boarding school in Ashburnham, Mass., Mr. Weiss said.
The Bronx students flourish there, he said, adding that it is a "joy" when he visits the school and his students greet him by saying, "I can't talk to you now because I have to go study."
In addition to one day providing student housing for those in need, the dormitory project offers valuable work experience to the students now laboring on the building's renovation.
Each semester, 36 students--for a total of more than 140 so far--take part in the job-training program run by the school and Banana Kelly.
For nine weeks, half the students are on the construction site, and half are in the classroom taking a standard six-course load. Then the groups trade places.
About 7 of the current crop of 36 were Bronx Regional students before they joined the training program, Ms. McCown said. The rest came from other schools or were referred by friends or other organizations.
Some have been out of high school for as long as three years before joining the program, having earned few, if any, credits while they were there. Some have spent time in jail, Ms. McCown said.
When they finish the semester-long program, students may stay on at the school to work toward a diploma, as more than half did last semester, or be referred to jobs or to programs to prepare for taking the test to earn a General Educational Development certificate.
Even though they have spent only a few weeks on the renovation site, the current workers appear as comfortable as veterans as they move around the gutted building pounding nails and hefting new beams into place.
But Angelo Ferrante, the construction and training supervisor from Banana Kelly, said that it is a challenge to train each new group and that it can take a week just for the students to learn to walk on the narrow beams that may hang three or four stories above the sidewalk level.
However, he also said that the program is not in the business of "mass producing" tradesmen and tries to stress the importance of going to college.
When work began on the building in February 1990, the first student group was faced with clearing out 17 years' worth of garbage, including crack vials and human waste, that had accumulated while the building stood vacant, said Keith Roach, a Banana Kelly career counselor for the students on the dorm project.
Gesturing toward the front wall of the building where chinks of daylight appear between cinder blocks, Mr. Roach described how drug dealers would pass their goods out to the street from inside the building.
As they help transform the space, the students develop an intense loyalty to the project and to each other, Mr. Roach said, whether that means chasing down a thief suspected of snatching building materials or looking out for the safety of a classmate.
And the students are not shy in expressing their enthusiasm.
"It's great. It's fun," said Patty Medina, 18, who is from Manhattan and is the only female student now on the construction site.
A second-year student at Bronx Regional, Ms. Medina signed up for the training program because she did not enjoy school and because she "wanted something that would keep me in school."
Since she started, Ms. Medina has gained "a whole new view of how things really are and why I should stay in school." Now, she wants to get her diploma and go on to study architecture in college.
Mr. Marrero, 20, who wants a career in construction, said he plans to leave the school in June for a day job and ged preparation at night.
Nevertheless, the training experience has proved important, he said. "It gives us a sense we're doing something, accomplishing something--not out there running wild," Mr. Marrero said.
Both Mr. Marrero and Ms. Medina approved of the idea for a dormitory for homeless students.
"I think it's good," Ms. Medina said. "We're doing something for someone who doesn't have a place to go."
"I wish there were more of them all over the country," she added. ''Probably there'd be less dropouts."

Nate Silver On Finding A Mentor, Teaching Yourself Statistics, And Not Settling In Your Career
Perhaps no one has done more for the cause of data-driven decision-making in the minds of the public than Nate Silver. How do those people without extensive training in statistics equip themselves with the skills necessary to thrive (or even just survive) in our age of "big data"? Last month I had the chance to put that question to Silver, and his answers may surprise you.
D3.JS: How To Handle Dynamic JSON Data
When I started with d3.js, I really struggled understanding how I could link data from a JSON feed to a SVG graph. I read a lot of tutorials but still, I couldn't find what I was looking for. Now that I know how d3.js behaves, I thought it would a good idea to share the things that I learned.
Data Visualization Reading and Videos
Visualizing For The Color Blind
Color blindness is a color vision deficiency which affects roughly 8% of the North American male population and 0.5% of the female population. So when designing data visualizations and dashboards, it's important to keep this group of people in mind to make sure they are seeing the same results as everyone else.
(Craft) Brewing in the USA
A couple of months ago a friend directed me to a piece by the New Yorker which included a nice interactive map depicting the landscape of craft brewing in the United States based on data provided by the Brewer's Association. Using this data, what can we say about the geography of craft brewing in the United States?
Foursquare Data Viz Shows The Pulse Of New York, London, Tokyo
The secret sauce of Foursquare is the massive amount of location data it collects: 4.5 billion check-ins shared by its 40 million users. A new set of data-viz videos produced by the startup turns its data from an intangible mess to a fascinating visual feast.
Handmade Data
In my Visual Rhetorics course we're currently exploring ways to creatively visualize data, while rendering information more useful, engaging, and accessible to audiences. In my course we are developing our visual literacy skills by producing some low-tech projects in class, including hand-drawn fonts, maps and homemade infographics.
100 Diagrams That Changed the World
Since the dawn of recorded history, we've been using visual depictions to map the Earth, order the heavens, make sense of time, dissect the human body, organize the natural world, perform music, and even concretize abstract concepts like consciousness and love. Investigative journalist and documentarian Scott Christianson chronicles the history of our evolving understanding of the world through humanity's most groundbreaking sketches, illustrations and drawings.
D3.js Reading and Videos
Using SVG Gradients And Filters With D3.js
I have played around with the d3.js library for a while now and I always thought that stuff like gradients and shadows are not so easy to create with SVG and that it is simply not made for that. I started working on a nice design I found at dribbble (I know it's not pixel perfect) and came to the point to implement some nice d3 animations rather quickly. And here is the final result.
Pie And Donut Charts In D3.js
In this tutorial, we are going to show how to create pie charts and donut charts with D3.js, which are very similar to pie charts with only one difference, their centre is hollow. Those two charts are built using SVG paths. The SVG path is a more advanced shape compared to circles and rectangles, since it uses path commands to create any arbitrary shape we want.
Updated Ember And D3 Talk
Last night I gave an updated version of my Ember and D3: Building a Simple Dashboard talk at the Boston D3.js meetup group. The biggest changes are the use of components instead of views, and the upgrade to Ember 1.0.0. Here are the materials from my presentation (code, slides & demo).
Proper Use Of D3.js With Angular Directives
I've seen many tutorial and examples using AngularJS as framework but also D3.js for data visualization that actually miss this point and do terrible things. What would be "the Angular way" of integrating D3? I propose the following: a) All your D3 logic and presentation must be contained within a directive b) Use HTML-declarative syntax to feed of data to your directive instances c) By doing that, you can store the data in your controller, passing it to your D3 directive via two-way data binding of parameters...
Mapping Concerts with D3.js And The SeatGeek API
I recently sat down for a couple of hours to explore the SeatGeek API. There's still a lot more data to play with, but mapping concerts seemed like a slam dunk for D3.js. Search for your favorite band's current USA tour map.
Hope that you had a great past week and that next week is even better!
Wishing you the best,
Sebastian Gutierrez

Please Note: This is an authentic Spanish Treasure Coin, and you will receive the exact pendant in the photographs and description.
No phrase in the English language can conjure more vivid dreams of chests overflowing with buried pirate treasures to satiate desire! And now, the most legendary coin ever minted comes out of our vaults…
We are proud to present our Pirate Chic Collection of pierced Spanish Pieces of Eight - the legendary pirate coin!
WE DID NOT PUT HOLES IN THESE COINS! Long ago they were pierced, sometimes to be strung together for safety from loss or pickpockets, but, more often, to be worn on bags, clothing or as jewelry, as this high-grade silver was a sign of status and distinction. Now, we have added a sterling loop so they can again be wearable pieces of history and art fit for the pirate king or queen in all of us!
Discovered long ago, and safe-guarded in private collections, these beautiful silver coins have been in our vault for many years… until now. After being buried or cached for hundreds of years, they have been professionally conserved and curated by Robert, and are ready to became a fascinating piece of history you can wear for a lifetime.
Robert Notes: This Piece of Eight is flat and showy for a 1/2 Reale - with an almost full cross and quite a bit of the monogram as well.
Sometimes called "America's First Silver Dollar" because they were in daily use, and were legal tender in the United States, until 1857... right before the U.S. Civil War. Pieces of 8 - both the large 8 Reales, and the smaller denominations of 4, 2, 1, and 1/2 - were minted by the mighty Spanish empire from New World silver – and traded (and pirated) the world over. These silver coins are the famous coins of pirate lore!
Of all the Spanish "Pieces of Eight," or, more formally, Eight Reales, none is as famous as the crudely shaped "cob" coin of pirate lore! New World mints produced these irregular shaped, hand-hammered coins nicknamed "cobs" from the Spanish phrase, "cabo de barra" (end of the bar). These coins were produced by pouring a strip of silver and pounding it flat, then cutting chunks of metal that weighed approximately the proper gram weight for the denomination they were minting. This chunk, or planchet (the term for a metal coin blank before striking) was then placed between two dies and struck with a hammer. The assayer then trimmed the excess silver off until the coin weighed the proper amount. The fineness averaged .931 silver. You see, the Spanish king wasn't worried about the shape of the coins, just their weight and fineness… this way he knew just how much tax to collect!
Perhaps you wonder, like we do, who pierced, wore and then stashed or lost these valuable coins… and why did they never return to retrieve them? What amazing stories could these coins tell if they could only speak?

Automatically Add GitHub Links to Jekyll PostsMarch 14, 2014
When I switched to Jekyll, one of the first features I embraced was the Liquid syntax. Markdown is a joy to write, and having a template abstraction layer like Liquid makes templating equally easy and understandable. Using yaml abstracts that templating logic even further. Being an open source contributor, I wanted a maintainable way write about and link to projects I was working on.

Hungary has asked a journalist who made anti-Semitic remarks to return an award he had been decorated with, Bloomberg news reports.
The country's Human Resources Minister Zoltan Balog, has reportedly asked journalist Ferenc Szaniszlo, who he decorated last week, to return the award at the request of Israel and the U.S., which cited Szaniszlo's racist and anti-Semitic views.
Balog awarded the Tancsics prize on March 14 to Szaniszlo, a television journalist who incited hatred against minorities, including Jews, with his "anti-Hungarian conspiracies," according to a 2010 media regulator ruling.
Balog said after awarding the prize that he didn't know about Szaniszlo's racist views but explained that did not have the power to take it back, as Israel had requested.
Szaniszlo said in a February 11, 2011, report on Echo TV that Hungary is suffering from "gypsy terror" and has been torn into "three parts" -- Hungarian, Jewish and gypsy -- and that "at the end someone will have to leave."
The station was fined 500,000 forint ($2,124) by the media regulator for violating human dignity and laws banning incitement to hatred, reported Bloomberg.
In another program in 2010, Szaniszlo claimed Israel had been created by the West as a bastion against Arab-Muslim countries, but that it would lose its importance as such once the region's oil and gas run out.
"The western world needs to reckon with … emptying Israel," Szaniszlo said. "It can be expected that the Jewish population from Israel … will need to be gradually relocated to Europe and the United States."
"I immediately publicly acknowledged that I had made a bad decision," Balog told Szaniszlo in a letter published by state news service MTI late Tuesday. "Since I have no other means, I ask you to return the Tancsics prize I awarded you in error."
The award casts "a shadow" on Prime Minister Viktor Orban's efforts to combat racism and hate speech, U.S. Ambassador to Hungary Eleni Tsakopoulos Kounalakis said in a statement.
Israel's ambassador to Hungary, Ilan Mor, said on Monday that the award to Szaniszlo was given "to the wrong person for the very wrong reasons."
"His ideas do not belong in a free and democratic society like the one in Hungary," Mor said in a statement.
"While Israel and Hungary are cooperating in fighting against anti-Semitism, such awards might cause [a] negative impression and lead us to the wrong direction," he added.
Jewish groups last year criticized Orban's government for appearing to legitimize anti-Semitic views amid a surge of support for the neo-Nazi party Jobbik. The Cabinet denied the charges.
There has been a surge in anti-Semitic remarks in Hungary. Jobbik recently made headlines for several anti-Semitic statements by its officials. In late November, a far-right deputy from the party called publicly for the resignation of a fellow MP who claimed to have Israeli citizenship.
The comments came after another member of Jobbik In released a statement saying that a list should be compiled of all of the Jewish members of parliament and government.
In 2012, Nobel peace laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel returned Hungary's highest state honor because of what he called a "whitewashing" of history in the European Union member state.

I got to chill and talk to the developers of Skara The Blade Remains in the interview below, but before you check that out here is my impressions of the game. Skara will be free to play however you can get early access for it now for $20 on Steam. Once the game is released to the public the developers will give you back your money in the form of in game currency. Now I won't do an official review of the game yet, however my impression from the early access wasn't good at all. Now, once again the game is in early access, but it felt like it was too early for even Steam early access. The game at its core literally felt like the core of a game. Moshi and I played several rounds of the game and the best compliment we can say for the game is… Well, we got to play it free. The game is laggy, there are multiple glitches, some of which you will see in the interview below, and the gameplay just felt as though it was lacking key elements. One of my biggest problems with the game is when you hit another player it doesn't feel like you made contact at all. Now let me repeat myself one more time the game is in Early Access and the developers are using the money from early access to finish making the rest of the game. Now, for $20 I can't honestly tell you go out and buy the early access when I know the game will be free in the future, but what I can say is the game has a sliver of potential. I'll report back on this game when it's done, but until then I'll keep tabs on it and monitor its progression.

Clear Channel In Trouble?
The private equity firms that own Clear Channel Communications may be so desperate to restructure the company's debt that they've gone begging to the same banks they sued two years ago, the New York Post reports.
Two unnamed sources quoted in the Post piece say that Bain Capital and THL Partners, which bought Clear Channel in 2007, have asked Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, RBS and Wachovia for more loans to keep Clear Channel afloat.
The PE firms deny the story, according to Radio Business Report. "The New York Post story about Clear Channel today is dead wrong, and we told them so," a spokesperson told RBR.
The background: When Bain and THL wanted to buy Clear Channel in 2006, times were good. By the time the sale was to close, credit had dried up and the banks backing the buyout wanted the investors to walk away. The firms instead sued the banksthe same banks Clear Channel is now reportedly asking for help.
What does this all mean? RBR theorizes that the owners will "pull out all of the stops to avoid a default," while the Post predicts the investors will allow the company to go bankrupt and then "repossess a piece of the business on the cheap [rather] than invest more in a company that is well underwater."
Clear Channel employs approximately 18,000 people worldwide.

I always feel like I'm in the minority by liking coconut – bounty's are always the chocolates that are left from a box of Celebrations. More for me I guess as I can't get enough of them. So in my quest to eat wholesome food, I present to you another raw recipe.
If you too were a fan of the Bounty bars but would rather nourish your body with wholesome foods then you'll absolutely love these beauties!
These little bites are packed full of coconutty flavour and coated in a rich and creamy raw chocolate and they make the perfect little chocolate fix mid afternoon or after dinner. Best bit is they last 2 weeks in an airtight container so you can have a stash ready.
Now being a baker so I find it really hard to stay good with all the baking smells floating around the kitchen when I am preparing orders. There is no way I will be giving up cake anytime soon! My aim is to eat nourishing food during the week so I can have a baked not so nourishing but equally delicious treat at the weekend.
- 75 g cashew Nuts soaked in filtered water for 2 hours
- 3 Tbsp Coconut Cream
- 120g Desiccated Coconut
- 2 ½ Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 3 Tbsp rice malt syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extracts
- 100ml coconut oil
- 55g Cacao Powder
- 80ml maple syrup
- Take the drained soaked cashews and pop them in a blender for 30 seconds
- Add the coconut, coconut cream, coconut oil rice malt syrup and vanilla and process until it becomes sticky and comes together
- Roll the mixture into balls. You decide the size. I made mine quite large, more of a three bite than one, but guess this depends how long you want them to last!
- Pop the bites in the freezer to firm up whilst you make the chocolate.
- Heat coconut oil until just melted. Add the maple syrup and cocao and whisk until smooth.
- Take the bounty bites out of the freezer and place on a wire rack or parchment paper.
- Dip the bites in to the chocolate coating fully. Then place on the wire rack to set.
- Allow to set for 5-6 minutes ( won't take long at all ) store in the fridge.
- Enjoy 🙂
