Braise RSA
Are you among a growing number of people that care where your food comes from? Do you like to support local farmers and small businesses? If the answer is yes, you have probably attended a farmers market at least once in the last few years. When you eat out at a restaurant, do you wonder where they get the food they are serving you?
Some of Milwaukee's locally owned restaurants have gathered their resources to create Braise RSA (Restaurant Supported Agriculture). The business model is the first of its kind in the country…and perhaps in the world. And it started right here in Milwaukee, in 2008. The chefs from Braise RSA member restaurants work directly with local farmers as they place their orders collectively. The farmers know exactly how much they need to grow and bring all the food to one centralized hub….the Braise RSA warehouse in Bay View. Instead of delivering 20lbs of tomatoes….they can deliver 700lbs. The food is picked up by local restaurants, saving farmers time and the cost associated with delivering to several locations.
Check out the story above for more information about Braise RSA, and learn more about participating restaurants and farmers online at braiselocalfood.com/rsa.

Editors' Notes
Completing country-hunk Tim McGraw's Greatest Hits trilogy with a compilation that offers no new recordings was a bit risky and maybe even somewhat off-putting to his more ardent fans — that is until they realize Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 offers up a few bona fide gems. McGraw's cameo on the inspirational Tracy Lawrence song "Find Out Who Your Friends Are" is a welcome addition, as is the exceptional live version of "Real Good Man." The rest of Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 overflows with undeniably catchy hits that are all sequenced to play like the soundtrack to a biopic of McGraw's musical life (how 'bout it, Hollywood?). "Back When" sets the tone with a honky-tonking, new traditional song that rocks and rolls around a pedal steel as McGraw sings nostalgically about the innocence of bygone times in the 20th century. Conversely, "Angry All The Time" is a loving duet with his wife that offers some refreshing and realistic insight into McGraw's marriage with country star Faith Hill. If "Nine Lives" makes you want to don cheetah-print spandex and tease your hair, this could be because the song is a rare recorded moment in music history where McGraw briefly fronted Def Leppard.

from Sarah:
"I had a wonderful time last fall beautifying Jenny and her bridesmaids. I met the bridal party at Salon Rapport in Loveland, a very quaint and fabulous salon that will treat you like a princess on your wedding day! We had the entire salon to ourselves, and the owner, Donn, treated everyone like family. We kept Jenny's makeup very natural with soft eye shadow and neutral rosy lips. My favorite part about this wedding was that all the girls, including the bride, wore TOMS shoes to the reception! I was thrilled to be a part of Jenny and Tim's special day, and wish them all the best!"

BRUSSELS — Hard-hit European airlines said Wednesday that airport fee hikes are hurting their ability to weather the economic crisis as passenger numbers plunge.

Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
With teams using more than 100 unique apparatuses to launch globular projectiles a half-mile or more, the 27th annual World Championship Punkin Chunkin event is our pick as November's Weird Festival of the Month.
- Airports, airlines work hard to return your lost items
- Expert: Tourist hordes threaten Sistine Chapel's art
- MGM Grand wants Las Vegas guests to Stay Well
- Report: Airlines collecting $36.1B in fees this year
- Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
The Association of European Airlines said airports "could do with a reality check" when they increase the fees each passenger must pay on top of their air fares. This is holding back airlines' ability to boost travel with lower prices, it said.
The group — which represents major carriers such as British Airways and Lufthansa — said German airports are leading the charge with higher fees at Frankfurt and Munich and others are reconsidering fee freezes.
"Customers are struggling to survive in the current market and the very last thing they need is a cost increase," said the AEA's Ulrich Schulte-Strathaus.
Europe's busiest airport London Heathrow is also planning to increase fees to pay for new infrastructure and to cope with the recession-driven drop in air traffic. Copenhagen will reinstate fee increases by the end of 2009.
Low-cost carrier Ryanair — not an AEA member — blamed higher fees at British airports for a decision to trim flights next winter.

Yard Waste Collection Resumes April 1
ORLAND PARK, IL - March 31, 2014 - Spring clean-up in the Village of Orland Park dates back decades with residents bringing items to dumpsters placed in different areas of the village.
"The village has offered its spring and fall clean-up programs for years, inviting residents to dispose of normal household garbage in the dumpsters that we'd make available," said Orland Park Mayor Dan McLaughlin. "We're very pleased to make this service even better and bring it to residents' homes --- picking things up curbside," the mayor said.
This year marks the debut of the village's Curbside Spring Clean Up Collection, offered in cooperation with the village's waste hauler, Waste Management.
Orland Park's Curbside Spring Clean Up Collection will be held on residents' regular pick up days the week of April 21, 2014.
"This is a great opportunity for residents to dispose of no longer needed furniture, mattresses and appliances," said Trustee Ed Schussler, chair of the village's Public Works and Engineering Committee. "Curbside pick-up makes it much more convenient for everyone," he said.
Latest Suburbs
Village residents are able to place household refuse, bulk items (chairs, mattresses and couches) and white goods (refrigerators, washers, dryers and water heaters) at their curbs on their regular garbage pick-up days. All items placed at the curb must be normal residential refuse and properly packaged. Proper packaging details can be found on the village's website at www.orlandpark.org under the "Living in Orland Park Refuse, Recycling & Waste" link. The doors on white goods/appliances should be removed before placing at the curb to prevent children from playing on or around them.
Items not included in the village's Spring Clean Up Collection include electronics waste, i.e., televisions, computers, monitors and printers. Hazardous wastes, i.e., paints, oils and solvents will not be picked up nor will automotive batteries, gas, asbestos, medical waste, etc. Also excluded are construction and demolition materials, concrete, rock, dirt, engines or large automotive parts or any oversized items that cannot be placed in a compactor type truck. Automobile tires will be picked up provided the rims have been removed.
Yard waste collection resumes with residents' first April pick up. All yard waste must be properly packaged in Kraft yard waste bags or Waste Management yard waste cart. Sod, trees, stumps, dirt, stones and landscape bricks or pavers are not accepted as yard waste.
Further information is available by calling Waste Management at 1-800-796-9696.

Important Note: Many details have changed since we first wrote this post in 2013, including the location of the consulate, length of time taken for the whole procedure and a few other details.
We haven't done it but from what we have heard getting a Thai tourism visa in Vientiane is a little stressful, involving, according to Travelfish, 'tremendous' queues even when turning up at 8am. Our visa run to Savannakhet couldn't have been more different.
Savannakhet is a sleepy little town just across the Mekong from the Thai town of Mukdahan. Not a great deal goes on there. For some this is part of Savannakhet's charm, while others view the place as somewhere to get in and out of as quickly as possible before boredom sets in. Judged by the good English language signposting pointing the way to the town's attractions and the leafleture produced by the tourism office the town fathers seem to be making an effort to draw in visitors, but for many Savannakhet's prime attraction is as an alternative to Vientiane for getting a Thai visa.
We can only offer up our own experience but had we not waited a few seconds for the guy in front of us to pick up a dropped item, we would have been first in the queue when we pitched up at around 10am. The receipts/collection numbers provided to us on handing in our passports suggested 36 other people had been in before us since the consulate began its working day at 8.30am.*
Some things we had already done in advance. Arriving in the afternoon the previous day we decided to stroll over to the Mekong River in the vague direction of the Thai Consulate and, if we found it and if it was still open, pick up the visa forms we would need. We did and it was. We were lucky to find the consulate 15 minutes before closing time at 4.30pm and after a few minutes of questions to the helpful girl on the desk/window took away our forms to fill in later that night.
The next day we handed in our completed forms, marked double entry, with 2 x passport photos, a photocopy of our passport and 2000 baht (the price for single entry is 1000 baht). I've seen mention on other blogs that a photocopy of your Laos visa and passport stamp are also required but that wasn't our experience.
Picking up our passports was quickly done too. Each turn number and collection window was read out at a clip, in English and Thai, and it took at most ten minutes before we had our passports returned with our Thai visa.
* Our neighbour at our guesthouse had a different experience, having to wait for two hours before he could hand in his documents. The difference in our experiences could be to do with the weekend and national holidays. We handed over our documents on a Friday before the weekend and picked them up on a Tuesday after a Thai holiday. Our neighbour began the process on the Tuesday.

JMI Completes $12 Million Renovation of The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe
Wednesday, September 18, 2013
JMI Realty, led by former San Diego Padres owner John Moores, has completed a $12 million renovation of The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, the historic hotel property that it purchased last year.
The property, now with 80 guest rooms, has a new 3,000-square-foot spa and a new concept restaurant, Morada, with a farm-to-table menu featuring locally sourced seasonal cuisine. Guestrooms and cottages have been redesigned to evoke the property's early ties to Hollywood, amid lush gardens and landscaping.
Operators have also upgraded the property's public areas, meeting facilities, outdoor function spaces and private dining rooms. The hotel has remained open during the renovation, which began in January.
Finishing touches on the lobby will be completed over the next three weeks, and operators plan additional capital improvements in 2014, a hotel spokeswoman said.
Austin-based JMI Realty, which has regional operations in San Diego, acquired the 21-acre property in April 2012 for $28 million, according to CoStar Group and public data. The seller was Huntington Hotel Co. of Rancho Santa Fe.
The Spanish-style hotel, at 5951 Linea Del Cielo in the unincorporated village of Rancho Santa Fe, was built in 1924 and has hosted presidents, royalty and Hollywood stars, according to hotel operators.

Ademola Lookman: RB Leipzig want permanent return for Everton forward
Last updated on .From the section European Football
RB Leipzig want to sign Everton's England Under-21 forward Ademola Lookman on a permanent deal.
Lookman, 20, ended last season on loan with the German Bundesliga club, scoring five goals in 11 league games.
Leipzig announced on Monday that sporting director Ralf Rangnick will be head coach for 2018-19.
And when asked about possible signings, Rangnick said: "We're still in talks over Ademola Lookman. We want him back and he wants to come."
Having initially been against sending Lookman out on loan last January, Everton's then-manager Sam Allardyce changed his mind, favouring a short-term deal with a Championship club.
But Lookman joined Leipzig until the end of the season, with Allardyce saying it was "one of the most unusual situations I've been in".
He added: "His stubbornness meant he got his own way. I hope he proves us all wrong."
Lookman went on to make seven league starts, three more than he has managed at Everton since making an £11m move from Charlton in January 2017.
He became the latest young Englishman to continue his development in Germany, with Ryan Kent and Reece Oxford having loan spells last season while Jadon Sancho made a permanent move from Manchester City to Borussia Dortmund.
Leipzig announced in June that Hoffenheim coach Julian Nagelsmann had agreed to take charge after the 2018-19 season.

The wider world section 5
environment,ethics and the government
Teacher recommended?
- Created by: Hannah Lambert
- Created on: 01-06-11 18:08
Ethics in Business
- All businesses have to follow legislation and failure to do so will result in their being prosecuted but this is NOT the same as unethical behaviour.
- Being legal means operating within the law; being ethical means doing what is right.
- Ethical behaviour covers every aspect of business, including who a business buys supplies from, how it treats its employees, how it acts towards its competitors, the impact on the environment and its local community.
- Being ethical may mean being less profitable.
- High ethical standards= good consumer image = high sales and profits= high ethical standars - continuing in a circle. But this isn't often the case.
- A pressure group can be described as an organised group that seeks to influence the government policy, legislation and business behaviour. e.g. Green peace (environmental), Amnesty International (which campaigns for human rights).
1 of 5
- If a business behaves in a way that a pressure group disagrees with the media may turn against the company.
- Pressure groups can embarrass companies and damage their image.
- When products display teh fairtrade mark it means that it meets international fairtrade standards and disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal.
- These include farmers receiving a minimum price that covers the cost of sustainable production and fair working conditions for estate workers.
- Producers also receive the fairtrade premium an additional sum to invest in social, environmental or economic development projects.
- This means the farmer has been paid fairly and the additional money has been invested in community projects such as education.
- Many people support the idea but are unwilling to pay the higher prices.
2 of 5
- Environmental issues can have both short-term and long-term effects on a firm.
- Short-term, the environment can be an important stakeholder issues. In the developed world few staff are willing to work in unpleasant or dangerous conditions.
- Longer term firms need to help overcome the challenge of global warming. Reducing emissions could damage the economy.
- Natural energy resources are being used up and energy companies have to look at alternative fuels for the future.
- Global warming could change harvests and could also raise sea levels and bring more extreme weather.
- Farmers must adjust crops to changing climates.
- Every business should try to be as efficient as possible so they are ahead and recycling waste should be a normal practice
3 of 5
- Traffic congestion - heavy traffic may mean customers won't make the trip to the business during certain times of the day - they could open earlier and stay open longer or provide public transport or operate on internet shops.
- Noise Pollution - heavy fines- Manchester airport have paid for triple glazing for residents who live near the airport and use a system for checking noise levels.
- Air pollution - by lorries and power stations but the law sets strict limits on how much they can emit - looking at greener fuels.
- Water pollution- such as rivers and streams are fined and can damage their image or cause problems to health if it enter our drinking water.
- Recycling- the EU must recover 60 per cent of all packaging waste by December 08- more offices need to use recycling facilities for printer cartridges and cut down on paper uses.
4 of 5
Economic Issues affecting trade
- How much you are paid would depend upon the minimum wage, your skills, experience and what hourly rate competitors were offering you. Under EU law you would be entitled to regular breaks and a minimum of ten hours between shifts and annual holidays.

Many people dream of owning their own home and refurbishing it to their own tastes and standards. Although decorating the interior of your home is very important, you also need to make sure that you have a good roof installed.

So it's important that you buy a type of roofing material that not only looks nice but also will protect your home from wind and rain. There are so many types of roofing to buy including slate, tiles, corrugated iron and even wooden shingles.

How to Adjust the Clutch in a Ford Focusby Contributor
If your Ford Focus clutch is not working as you would like it to, you can adjust it. It may be as simple as filling the reservoir with clutch fluid, or even adjusting the pedal. However, if these simple fixes don't work, it may be a sign of other trouble.
Step 1
Check the reservoir for the clutch fluid beneath the hood. If it's low, fill it, and then pump the clutch pedal several times to restore the hydraulic pressure in the line. The reservoir is located on the left side of the engine bay, not far from the firewall that separates the bay from the cabin of the Ford Focus.
Step 2
Bleed the clutch system if filling the reservoir didn't work. As the system is hydraulic, air bubbles in the line can adversely affect the clutch's performance. Use a bleeder kit to do this yourself. Simply fill the tank with clutch fluid, pressurize it, open the bleed valve that's located on the cylinder near the left side of the engine bay near the firewall, and insert the tank's hose. The pressure from the bleeder kit's tank expels the old clutch fluid and replaces it with new fluid.
Step 3
Adjust the height of the clutch pedal in your Ford Focus by looking beneath the dash to the top of the pedal. There's a knob on the pedal that you can loosen with an Allen wrench. Change the height of the pedal, test it out, and then retighten the knob on the clutch pedal.
Step 4
Look to the master cylinder and the slave cylinder next. If these are leaking, this might be the cause of the clutch problems you are experiencing in your Ford Focus. The slave cylinder is located near the clutch housing, on the left.
Examine the pressure plate and flywheel which is located inside the clutch housing. As the clutch works due to friction, the flywheel and the pressure plate can wear over time, and no amount of adjustment or refilling of the reservoir will work. If these clutch components are worn, replace them.
Items you will need
- Bleeder kit
- Allen wrench

Musical Play and the Neurosequential Model
Musical Play is based on an understanding of neurological development, as per Bruce Perry's Neurosequential Model (see above). It recognises that: "One of the most powerful sets of associations created in utero is the association between patterned repetitive rhythmic activity from maternal heart rate, and all the neural patterns of activity associated with not being hungry, not being thirsty, and feeling 'safe' (in the womb)."
"Patterned, repetitive, rhythmic somatosensory activity…elicits a sensation of safety. Rhythm is regulating."
(Perry: Rhythm Regulates the Brain – http://attachmentdisorderhealing.com/developmental-trauma-3/)
According to Perry, the core elements of a positive developmental, educational and therapeutic experience are:
- Relational (safe)
- Relevant (developmentally-matched to the individual)
- Repetitive (patterned)
- Rewarding (pleasurable)
- Rhythmic (resonant with neural patterns)
- Respectful (of the child, family, and culture)
(Perry: Rhythm Regulates the Brain – http://attachmentdisorderhealing.com/developmental-trauma-3/)
Key Points about Musical Play:
- Musical Play is the child's first language and is based on an innate understanding of calming, regulating, joyful, relationship based play. A newborn baby responds to the nurturing, playful, soothing musical qualities of the mother's voice (see the beautiful musical interaction between mother and baby Elsie, aged 7 weeks, in the video clip below).
- It is a natural part of the life and culture of children and there is no right or wrong way to play.
- It brings everyone together in the moment, opening up a world of emotional connections and building a strong sense of community.
- It helps children to understand and use the elements of music in their own play.
- It follows the child, encouraging a child-centred approach, fostering self-esteem, thought and creativity.
- Through musical play, children develop the ability to listen, watch, wait and wonder. A sense of wonder is the child's key to learning.
The Aims of our Musical Play Programme are:
- To enhance children's natural musicality.
- To use music for arousing or calming.
- To develop a sense of music community.
- To develop musical singing, saying, moving and playing.
- To promote tuneful singing for children and adults alike, using scale songs in conjunction with counting and body awareness.
- To help parents and teachers feel confident and competent singing instructional songs and incorporating music into daily routines.
- To reinforce and follow the children's musical ideas in their own play, thus building self-esteem and communication.
- To help establish rhythmical play and steady beat, as well as an understanding of weight, time, space and energy.
- To use a range of props in group music sessions such as natural materials, scarves, the parachute, the rainbow ring and maracas, in ways that help children to listen, wait, take turns, follow sung instructions and enjoy musical play as a group.
Musical play and exploring the natural environment go hand in hand. Outdoor play awakens the senses and is important for healthy brain development. Natural learning environments help children's aesthetic, creative, imaginative and sensory development. Through outside play, children naturally tune into the sounds of nature, marvelling at the colours, shapes and patterns with a sense of joy and wonder. Nature provides a rich and diverse environment for children to learn about themselves, each other and the world, through play.
Julie's song "Down at the Beach" from her CD Teddy Bears' Tango, is an example of a song which facilitates sound exploration with natural materials. Children discover that shells, stones and driftwood can all be used as instruments. This song can be used as a starting point for helping children to tune into the sights and sounds of nature and followed up with treasure and sound hunts outside.
The pictures below show two brothers going on a bear hunt after the younger brother enjoyed "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" at Julie's musical play classes.
Ideas to Try
- Lie on the grass with children and look up at the sky. What do you and the children see in the clouds?
- Go on a treasure hunt outside to collect natural materials and identify what sounds you can hear. You could sing "We are going on a nature hunt. We are going on a nature hunt. What will we see? What will we hear? We are going on a nature hunt" to the tune of "We are Playing Music" (see below). Note down what the children hear, keep the treasures they find and use the experience as a starting point for writing songs and stories together.

In early July, The Southern Café and Music Hall announced that it had entered into a partnership with Starr Hill Presents, the concert promotion arm of Red Light Management, which also operates The Jefferson Theater and the Pavilion. The Southern closed for several weeks for minor renovations and re-decorating, and will re-open on August 22.
"We're working on a new identity that enhances the old identity, without trampling over it in any way," said Collean Laney, the Southern's new general manager. "In terms of the theme for the space, we're going for 'rock 'n' roll basement'—comfortable, you know everybody, you're just gonna hang out and hear some good music—how it was before, just a little bit bigger and better."
In past years, Starr Hill has presented concerts at the Southern, but it will now be operating the venue full-time. Andy Gems, who opened the Southern in 2009 in the First Street location once occupied by Gravity Lounge will still be heavily involved. "The absolute legal logistics, I'm not going to get into," Laney said of the arrangement with Gems. "But in terms of it becoming more of a partnership, Andy's not going anywhere. I manage the Jefferson and the Southern, and I hate using titles, but Andy is the assistant general manager, so he'll be handling the go-to, the day-to-day. It's a little bit tricky, and I think we'll get our sea legs about us in the next couple of months. But he's been here the whole time, helping us figure out what works best. Because it wasn't broken."
"We were lucky, in that everything here already runs really well," Laney said. "It's just a matter of improving it a bit, and giving it a little TLC. The people who run the Delicious George fry cart, Melissa Ketola and Will Flagge, are gonna be heading up the kitchen, and they're doing a southern barbecue menu. The faces will still be the same," Laney said of the staff. "The idea was that anybody who wanted to stay on was welcome to."
Danny Shea, who books shows for Starr Hill Presents, will now be working on the music calendar for the Southern. "I'm going to be the primary booking contact, with Andy supporting," Shea explained. "Most of the shows on the calendar now are shows that I've booked, and there is some overlap with the shows that Andy already had in the can. The Meat Puppets [October 6] was a show that Andy had been working on, but I'm totally stoked about that. Suuns [September 7] is gonna be great, Pissed Jeans [September 6] is gonna be great. We have some great local shows coming up. I'm not just personally excited, I know that these are shows that other people are going to be excited about."
"Between Andy and Danny, it's just this encyclopedia of music history in this town," Laney said. "It's great to be able to say, 'We tried this band at the Southern, can we try them at the Jefferson?' or 'This band was at Tea Bazaar, maybe it's a Southern band now. Is that a good opening for a Fridays After Five band, can we promote them that way?'"
Shea was adamant that the Southern does not intend to aggressively compete with similarly-sized local venues. "I support what's going on at the Tea Bazaar, I love that place," he said. "I don't want to be associated with any kind of negativity or competition. That's never been what I'm about, or why I do this. We'll never be the only game in town, and I don't want us to be. But we're probably the most substantial one, and probably the best experience for the bands—being onstage with a hearty PA, and being more of a club environment."
"We're in a great position to cultivate bands in the market, and let them grow, and also to be able to cultivate the market in town, and cultivate the scene," Shea said. "We'll be in a good place to review what's best for the artists, and what's best for the patrons. If there's a band that wants to play the Southern, maybe we can get them an opening slot at the Jefferson. There will be shows you'll see at the Southern that will get moved over to the Jefferson. We've built a trigger into many of the offers, that allows us to move the show—the deal is already in there. So that's another upside."
"We're a company with a lot of resources," Shea said. "We can do shows with 100 cap or 1,000 cap. We'll have shows at The Box or Mono Loco as well, and all the way up to the Pavilion, and even something like Sigur Rós that ends up being too big for the Pavilion, can get moved to the John Paul Jones Arena. We can go all the way from 40 people to 15,000. Coordinating all these stages takes a lot more energy, and the expectations are a lot higher, but we're able to make smarter decisions at the end of the day, and to make bigger picture decisions."
"Charlottesville should feel lucky to have the resources that we have here," Shea said. "For a town of 40,000 people, it's crazy that we're still kind of relevant, compared to places like Richmond, Norfolk, Louisville, Virginia Beach. It's because of the cultivation here that's been happening in the market for decades. It's just that now we actually have nice rooms for the bands to play in too."

Do university students with disabilities have access to alternative testing methods?
This question refers only to university students. In the US, for example, some universities offer courses that require students to sit no exams – their performance is measured by way of course work, assignments etc. Please describe what measures, if any, are being taken to provide alternative testing methods to those with disabilities?
Relates to Convention Article:
- No.24, Education
In detail
Article 24 prescribes that "States Parties shall ensure an inclusive education system at all levels and life long learning…In realizing this right, States Parties…shall ensure that…Reasonable accommodation of the individual's requirements is provided; Persons with disabilities receive the support required, within the general education system, to facilitate their effective education; Effective individualized support measures are provided in environments that maximize academic and social development, consistent with the goal of full inclusion".
The question refers only to university students as a representative group. It asks whether the testing methods utilised are accessible to persons with various types of disabilities and whether alternative testing methods to written and oral tests are offered. For some students with disabilities, these may, for example, include their not having to sit exams, but having their performance tested alternatively through course work, participation, assignments, etc. The question refers only to "access to" and not to "the right to" alternative testing methods.

- The Trump Organisation will end its contract with the real estate investment firm that owns the Trump SoHo hotel in New York, effectively ending Trump's relationship with the troubled hotel.
- In walking away early from the deal, the Trump Organisation will also distance itself from the controversial firm it worked with nearly a decade ago to develop the troubled hotel: Bayrock.
- Bayrock and its cofounder, Felix Sater, are now under scrutiny by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is examining Trump's business dealings as part of his investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow during the 2016 election.
The Trump Organisation will cut ties with New York's Trump SoHo Hotel after years of financial hardship and even boycotts following Donald Trump's presidential run and electoral victory in November.
In walking away early from the licensing deal it struck with the California-based real estate investment firm CIM Group, which owns Trump SoHo, the Trump Organisation will also distance itself from the controversial firm it worked with nearly a decade ago to develop the troubled hotel: Bayrock.
Trump worked with Bayrock on at least four projects throughout the 2000's, including the Trump SoHo. Some of those projects ultimately failed. Bayrock was co-founded by the Russian-born businessman Felix Sater, who was accused nearly two decades ago of being a co-conspirator in a $US40 million fraud and money-laundering scheme involving four Mafia families.
A lawsuit brought in 2010 against Sater and others, which is ongoing, alleges that "for most of its existence [Bayrock] was substantially and covertly mob-owned and operated," engaging "in a pattern of continuous, related crimes, including mail, wire, and bank fraud; tax evasion; money laundering; conspiracy; bribery; extortion; and embezzlement."
The lawsuit, filed by Bayrock's former finance director, Jody Kriss, accused Sater and Bayrock's founder, Tevfik Arif, of cheating him out of millions of dollars via fraud, money laundering, and racketeering, among other misconduct. In December, a New York judge ruled that the lawsuit could move forward as a racketeering case.
Sater and Bayrock are now under scrutiny by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is examining Trump's business dealings as part of his investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow during the 2016 election. Mueller is probing whether Russia ever held any financial leverage over Trump that was, or could be, used as blackmail.
'It's ridiculous that I wouldn't be investing in Russia'
According to Kriss' complaint, Sater and Arif began negotiating with the Trump Organisation in 2003 to market certain projects under the Trump brand but didn't tell Trump about Sater's criminal past.
In a 2007 deposition, Trump said his organisation would never have agreed to partner with Bayrock on the development of Trump SoHo had he known about Sater's past. Trump also said he would not be able to identify Sater if they were in the same room.
But Bayrock's office was once two floors below Trump's in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. A person familiar with the matter, who requested anonymity for fear of retribution by Sater or his associates, told Business Insider that Sater and Trump had standing meetings each week.
Sater has said in a deposition that he met with Trump "on a constant basis," Bloomberg previously reported, and Kriss told the publication that Trump valued Sater's loyalty – and his Russia connections.
"It's ridiculous that I wouldn't be investing in Russia," Trump said in the 2007 deposition. "Russia is one of the hottest places in the world for investment."
Sater was evidently still in touch with Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, as recently as late January.
The two met at a New York hotel on January 27 to discuss a peace plan for Russia and Ukraine that was drafted by a Ukrainian politician, Andrey Artemenko. Cohen was said to have delivered the plan directly to Michael Flynn before he resigned as national security adviser on February 13, though Cohen has disputed that in subsequent interviews.
'I will get Putin on this program and we will get Donald elected'
Sater came back into the news over the summer when emails surfaced showing that he had been pushing for the Trump Organisation to pursue a massive real-estate deal in Moscow during the 2016 presidential election.
Emails exchanged between Sater and Cohen – who have known each other since they were teenagers – in November 2015 indicate that they were preparing to celebrate not only Trump's election victory, but also the potential Russia deal. The Trump Organisation, which employed Cohen at the time, had signed a letter of intent to pursue the deal.
Sater boasted of his ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin in the emails, which were obtained by The New York Times, telling Cohen that he would "get all of Putins team to buy in" on the Moscow deal.
"Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it," Sater wrote. "I will get Putin on this program and we will get Donald elected."
Two months later, Cohen emailed Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, asking for his "assistance" in pushing the deal through, according to emails submitted to congressional investigators and read to The Washington Post.
"Over the past few months I have been working with a company based in Russia regarding the development of a Trump Tower – Moscow project in Moscow City," Cohen wrote Peskov. "Without getting into lengthy specifics the communication between our two sides has stalled…As this project is too important, I am hereby requesting your assistance."
Cohen sent the email to a generic Kremlin email address that was not Peskov's. The Kremlin said later that it had received the email, but Cohen told The Post that he never heard back – and that the deal was scrapped by late January 2016.
Sater was spotted at Trump Tower about six months after the deal collapsed. He told Politico at the time that the purpose of his visit was "confidential." But his presence there seven months after the Moscow real-estate deal fell through, and less than three months before Election Day, raised questions about who in Trump's orbit he was still in touch with – and why.
Sater showed Ivanka Trump and her brother Donald Trump Jr. around Moscow in 2006 when their father was scouting real estate in Russia. They stayed for several days at the Hotel National Moscow opposite the Kremlin, according to The Times.
Sater also acted as a fixer to help the former Kazakh cabinet minister Viktor Khrapunov buy three apartments in Trump SoHo using shell companies, the Financial Times reported. The Kazakh government has alleged that Khrapunov stole those funds from the state.
Khrapunov's use of shell companies to buy Trump real estate was not unique – a USA Today investigation found that approximately 70% of buyers of Trump properties since June 2016 were limited-liability companies, compared with about 4% of buyers in the two years before.

Travis Allen is running for the California Legislature to enable him to directly impact US policy toward Israel as our most cherished ally in the Middle East, and a bastion of Democracy and Security in an increasingly hostile environment. California also shares a unique economic partnership with the State of Israel, especially with the technology exchange between Silicon Valley and Tel Aviv.
Travis Allen is dedicated to strengthening the US-Israel economic, technological, and military relationship, the divestment and sanctions on Iran and Syria.
PERRY: I was making a comment about a philosophy; I don't think America needs to be in the business of adventurism.
Q: You were making a philosophical comment, but it's hard to understand philosophy without understanding specifics. Where are some of the places where we've seen military adventurism?
PERRY: That was a philosophical statement that Americans don't want to see their young men and women going into foreign countries without a clear reason that American interests are at stake. And they want to see not only a clear entrance; they want to see a clear exit strategy, as well. We should never put our young men and women's lives at risk when American interests are not clearly defined by the president, and that's one of the problems this president is doing today.
CAMPBELL: Let me start with the fundamental commitment to the US relationship with the state of Israel. I've always supported a strong military relationship. And I have never flinched from that strong support.
FIORINA: In 1997 and in 1999, Tom, you offered amendments while you were a Congressman that cut aid to Israel in 1999 you voted to cut aid to Israel. In 1990 you were one of only 34 congressman who voted against Jerusalem being the undivided capital of Israel. And do you still think President Clinton is too pro-Israel as you once said?
CAMPBELL: George Shultz, the Secretary of state to President Ronald Reagan recently said that I was an "unwavering friend of Israel", particularly in the face of this threat from Iran.
FIORINA: I think Tom Campbell's voting record is quite clear and I think he is trying to have it both ways.

Licorice laughed. "I'll say!" She winked back at Smoke. "Good of you to keep us poor janitor-types in mind. What do your wards do, then?"
Smoke wondered if she was being facetious or if corpses were still an issue at Courthall. Normally vermin stopped trying to enter in any quantity with lethal wards as old as the Courthall ones. "I use a combination of deterrence and sterilization. If it's a small incursion, like a single nest of ants or a couple of mice, the wards only prevent them from entering the building. If the wards keep encountering a type of creature -- for example, termites keep exploring the edge of the ward -- then it infects the insect with a contagion spell, one that will sterilize that individual and pass itself along to any other insects of the species it encounters. The contagion can only replicate itself so many times, so it won't exterminate a species. But it provides some population control for the overall area without having to put any death-magic into the environment. It also does some good against the rare vermin that are unaffected by preventive or death wards, because the contagion will still stick to them and infect their fellows."
Licorice tilted her head. "Some vermin are immune to wards? Is that how they're getting through?"
"No -- or at least, that shouldn't be it. The gatherer should have noticed if something just walked by the wards. And immune vermin are extraordinarily rare in the three species that are a problem here. Immunity is more of a concern with cockroaches." They'd reached the cellars by now, and Smoke frowned, studying the wards down here. The braided wards covered floor and the top and bottom few inches of the walls, but not the entire wall. That was sufficient for most things the wards were designed to protect against, but Smoke always did a lattice over the entire wall in any underground areas when she was warding against vermin. Yes, in theory, crawling insects couldn't get down from a wall without crossing the top or bottom barrier, and fleas came in through entrances on people or pets, not through walls. In practice, things got shoved up against walls, and insects could crawl along shelves to find a safe path down. Someone must have already warned Courthall about that in this cellar, because the shelves, cabinets, and other furnishings were all set back at least six inches from the walls. Smoke crouched to examine the gap. "Did they rearrange the cellar after the infestation?"
"Mm? Oh, yeah. Couple months ago. I think the old enchanter said they couldn't stack things against the walls. Didn't help, though."
Ants almost always had their nests outside of buildings, so it should have helped if that was the problem. Still, in a building the size of Courthall. Smoke scrunched her whiskers, thinking.

On August 7, Alex Roarty at National Journal wrote about how Montana Senate race has become a nightmare for Democrats. Incumbent Democratic Senator John Walsh, a seasoned military veteran, plagiarized a paper while attending the U.S. Amy War College. As a result, he dropped out of the race. Former Governor Brian Schweitzer refused to throw his hat into the ring. Oh, and the Republican candidate, Congressman Steve Daines, was already ahead by comfortable lead. So, who will replace Sen. Walsh? Montana Democrats met over the weekend and picked State Rep. Amanda Curtis.
She's a train wreck waiting to happen.
The Montana GOP has selected her greatest hits from her video blog.
At Hot Air, Noah Rothman put it succinctly:
In this video, Curtis mocks gun ownership, religion, family values, concern over the $17.6 trillion national debt, and self-identifies as an anarchist. Montana most certainly has a historic blue streak, but Curtis is a candidate so openly left-wing that she would have trouble winning a statewide race – much less the Democratic Party's nomination — in even traditionally blue states.
There is every reason to believe that Montana was not going to be competitive for Democrats this cycle, but a state with two Democratic senators and a Democratic governor is a state Republicans have to fight for. The GOP will still have to campaign hard in Montana, but Rep. Steve Daines, the Republican Party's nominee for Senate, will no doubt have a much easier time of 2014 than it appeared he would early on in this cycle
Yeah, it looks like she doesn't have "a chance in hell" (via the Washington Examiner):
"I think she's a lovely young lady and very courageous, and I think she [Curtis] is, you know, a fine character and all that," said Paul Edwards, a former member of the Montana Democratic Party's executive board. "I don't think she has a chance in hell."

The fire was believed to have been ignited by static electricity.
Rush County firefighters were called out at 5:30 p.m. and remained on the scene until 9 p.m., Rush County Sheriff Ward Corsair said.
Company CEO Bill Baalman was unsure whether the 15-foot-tall building was a complete loss. Some equipment was salvageable, he said. The company makes fiberglass oil field tanks, along with housing, chemical and agricultural tanks.
No estimate was made of the damage. If the building is declared a total loss, the company will rebuild, Baalman said.
The plant is on the east edge of town on K-96. Traffic was diverted for about 11/2 hours, Corsair said.

Hawks wrap up non-NEC schedule
By TONY GRAHAM
When the Monmouth University men's basketball team (4-8) visits Harvard (7-3)
7 p.m. Wednesday it will mark the finale of the Hawks' non-conference games for 2010-2011.
Over the last four games, including Harvard after tonight, Monmouth will have played teams that at the beginning of this week had combined for a 35-11 record.
Those opponents had RPIs of 34 (Villanova), 55 (Harvard), 100 (Rutgers), and 117 (Rider) per collegerpi.com. Monmouth's RPI was 273 among the 345 Division I teams rated.
""Harvard had this date open over the Christmas break and it was a game that worked
for both of our schedules," Calloway said. ""They're talented."
He said he expects Harvard to battle Princeton for the Ivy League championship,
On Dec. 8 Monmouth lost to Princeton 64-61 in West Long Branch. ""We played Princeton tough but we were home," Calloway said. ""This is going to be a really good test because they're a very good team and we're on the road."
Monmouth, whose offensive struggles this season are well documented, might get some scoring help tonight from former Army guard Jesse Steele. The sophomore had to sit out the first semester due to his transfer process.
The 5-9, 180 pound Steele, who played at Millburn High School and Oak Hill, Va. Academy, appeared in seven games for Army in 2008-2009 making one start and averaged 4.5 ppg.
In practices with Monmouth in the fall Steele displayed a quick and accurate long range shot before being slowed by a finger injury on his shooting hand around Thanksgiving.
""He'll get an opportunity (vs. Harvard) and we'll go from there," Calloway said. """"He's healthy and he's ready to go."
Until the last three games Monmouth was flirting with playing .500 ball (4-5) and had been involved in mainly down-to-the wire contests.
""So my concern is whether we're taking a step back or whether our opponents were that good," Calloway said. ""I'm kind of hoping our opponents were that good."
Calloway said next season Harvard will play at Monmouth while in other non-conference home games in 2010-2011 the Hawks will host Rider, Davidson, and Fordham.
""There could be a fifth (home game)," Calloway said. ""We'll see."

The Girl in the Box
by Lisa Akers
She's trapped. Alone. In a box.
As she battles to survive the chilling darkness, with long hours of nothing to do but wait in terror for her captor to return, she grapples through obscure dreams and memories of a painful family past.
After a tumultuous childhood in a broken home, keeping secrets became a way of life for twin sisters: Gabby and Olivia, and their little sister, Emma. They've all got skeletons in their closets; memories locked away never to see the light of day.
But after they take divergent paths in life, disaster strikes, and their pasts collide head-on with a mysterious present in this surreal and gripping family drama. The worst has happened, and if they want to find the key to survival and reconciliation, they must learn to let their skeletons out; shake the dust off of them, and maybe even let them dance across the floor.
At turns heartbreaking, dark and beautiful, The Girl in the Box explores not only the consequences of secrets–even secrets kept out of fear–but also the courage it takes to speak the truth, to let go, and to survive.

There are a lot of different theories on how to clean marble floors. Asking several so called marble flooring experts like janitors or a salesperson for marble floors will give you different answers. One say you must use just water and vinegar, someone else suggest a simply all purpose cleaner.
So, what is true and what is not? Before tackling this problem it is important to understand that a natural stone needs to be treated somewhat different than other types of floors. Because of the minerals natural stone floors are very sensitive and can not cope with chemicals. Chemicals scratch and etch the floor and you do not want that with your floor. The result of acid eating your floor away is a pitted or dull looking floor.
A lot of home remedies suggest to use plain water. The problem with water is that it sometimes is treated with chemicals and contain salt. If you use this water on your floor you will find a residue from the chemical in the water and your floor does not shine like it supposed to.
Using an all purpose cleaner for a natural stone floor that has not been developed for marble floor cleaning is just dumb. Some people try this solution because it is cheap, the result: a scratched, damaged floor that looks dull.
It is important to know which chemicals you can use for a marble floor. For a daily use i would recommend a pH7 neutral cleaning product recommended for marble floors. This product is perfect for cleaning up spills from coffee or other drinks. Use this product in combination with a heavy duty cleaner specially for marble floors. This heavy duty cleaner needs to have a pH around 10 or 11 and is used for the heavy soil build up and stains you have forgot with the daily product. When you use this heavy duty solution you need to understand that cleaning afterwards is very important. The heavy duty cleaner can damage your floor if you forget to clean it up afterwards with water.
If nothing else worked you can use a stain remover. Stain remover contain certain chemicals that can be bad for your marble floor so be careful and again clean up afterwards with water and mop till it shines again.

How Jennifer Garner Keeps Her Skin Youthful
The glowing actress, 42, talks sunscreen, selfies, and snacking smartly.
Good news: Jennifer Garner is just as bubbly and hilarious in person as you'd imagine her to be.
But it's not just her down-to-earth personality that won us over while interviewing the Dallas Buyers Club actress for her new role as Neutrogena Brand Ambassador. Garner's genuine commitment to sun safety was enough to make us reapply our daily SPF with a vigor usually reserved for a day at the beach.
"I'm a big believer in finding shade; you don't want to expose yourself if you don't have to," says Garner, adding that to be safe, she starts each day by applying sunscreen. "I use anywhere from SPF 45 to SPF 70," she says, varying the level of SPF depending on how much time she's spending outside.
The sun-conscious star and mom of three also revealed to Everyday Health her foolproof tip for looking good in pictures, the insane hour she starts her workout, and the healthy snack her whole family can't get enough of.
Her ageless beauty practices: "I actually do the things that I should have done all those years [before]," says Garner of how her skin care routine now includes sunscreen every day, moisturizer specifically for nighttime before bed, and eye cream.
And when asked about when she felt the most beautiful, Garner joking replied, "in the dark!" Her real answer? After a workout and with a little cover-up. "I always start my day with a super-early workout at 5:30 a.m. so I can get that done," says Garner. "And then I just apply a little bit of concealer to cover up what needs to be covered up. If your skin looks even, I swear you don't need anything else."

Her minimalist approach to makeup makes the actress a big fan of the makeup-free trend sweeping the nation. "I love it. Are you kidding me? I go makeup free every day unless someone shows up to make me up," she says.
The healthy snacks her whole family loves: Justin's Maple Almond Butter is a fan favorite in her household. "I have it on my toast for breakfast every morning," she says, adding that her kids spread it on crackers as a snack.
She also reaches for yogurt with berries and honey, cheese, or apple slices to satisfy her hunger. As of late, Garner has added vegetable juice to her diet. "The first one doesn't go down easy but then you kind of start craving it," she says.
Her best advice for making the most of the summer: Step one, make sure your skin is totally protected. Garner applies her daily SPF and keeps an additional sunscreen spray in the car. "I use it when I need a little boost or if I've forgotten to apply for some reason or need to add a little extra to the kids," she says.
And if you find yourself posing for a poolside selfie, Garner suggests that you flaunt your best features. "My tip for taking a great picture is to find your angle and stick with it!" she says.

- Briquetting Plants
A briquette is a chunk of combustible material that is commonly used in igniting and maintaining a fire, either in a boiler, grill or in an open space such as a fire pit. Briquetting machinery takes this waste as an input and treat them in an environment friendly way.
After treatment what we get is briquettes, which can be further used in different things like wood briquettes are used in boilers, biomass briquettes to be use as fuel replacing expensive coal.
By installing different briquettes plant & briquetting plants in India and other countries, it has made a unique image of it. All the briquetting equipment, machinery, machine are brought to the market only after passing them through strict quality tests. Being the reputed and responsible manufacturer, Radhe Ind. Corp. provides different models of briquetting machine at affordable price range.
Apart from this, briquette press machine, briquetting plant, and briquette machinery has also been manufactured by this company. All the machines are easy to operate, handle, and maintenance. Time to time servicing and proper cleaning are the factors which increases the life of these machines. The company's headquarter is nestled in Rajkot, Gujarat; but it is supplying and exporting all its models to domestic and international market both.
The calorific value of the briquettes can be as high as up to 4000 Kcal/Kg. This can be further more increased by using various types of agricultural waste products. The ash content produced after burning the biomass briquettes is not more than 15%, and there are no harmful gases (such as Sulphur) released. This makes it clean and efficient fuel.
The majority of biomass briquettes are made from sawdust or similar wood waste products. The manufacturing process generally involves compressing the sawdust and forcing it into a briquetting machine that heats it and extrudes briquettes shaped like small fireplace logs. The particles in the log are held together by a natural substance in the sawdust, so no binders are required.

Anyway, Robin took this weekend to go visit her family down south, leaving me with three days to fill. For the first one, I did some cleanup around the house; not as much as I would like, but it seems like house cleanup these days is pretty much a Sokoban puzzle where stuff needs to be moved so that other stuff can be moved into its place. Pretty frustrating, but given the difficulty, I suppose I should still be pleased that I managed to get something done. (In theory, I have loads of space that I could free up by getting rid of junk and/or better arranging it. In practice, I just end up throwing random things into boxes, which doesn't really deal with the underlying problem.)
Later that evening I decided to see about fixing my little brother's laptop. 5 minutes at 375 degrees did in fact restore it to working order, though I ended up having to take it apart the following night because I put some screws in the wrong places. (HP's service manual does not accurately describe the types of screws used or their locations, so I don't think it's my fault.)
I had been planning on exploring the Marin headlands on Saturday morning, but brilliantly stayed up until sunrise. The afternoon saw me continuing with cleanup and laptop reassembly. I had a standing invite to a party, which I did eventually convince myself out to, but as tends to happen at large parties where I know only a few people, I never really felt like I should be there, and did eventually glaze over and sneak out early. (It sure seems like I've socially regressed bigtime in the last 7 or 8 years, but now I don't even know what to do about it.) I suppose the cats needed feeding anyway, too.
On Sunday I met up with Robin's mom and we dropped by the Lindsay Wildlife Museum in Walnut Creek. Small place, but pretty interesting, especially the injured birds kept above that look like stuffed animals until you notice that they move. I should've asked to use a ladder or something similar, though I probably would've been denied since they have signs telling people not to let their kids sit on their shoulders.
Long weekends and large expanses of time always leave me with mixed feelings. I suppose there's no point in going through all that again, though. There's an SHDH coming up that I probably should make myself go to, even though I don't have anything going on at the moment. (I could, though; there's other IIDX hacking that I could do, and it'd be way different from the usual web/iWhatever/cloud/network/blah stuff that people typically bring to work on.)
Today I find myself with a sore throat. I wonder what or who from.

Financial Statements of a Sole Proprietorship
U.S. law allows for four forms of business organizations: sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies and corporations. A sole proprietorship is a business owned by one person. Many small service enterprises, retail stores and professional practices are operated as proprietorships. The owner is the legal owner of its assets, is legally liable for its debts and is entitled to all the earnings of the proprietorship. From an accounting standpoint, however, the business is treated as a separate entity from its owner.
Balance Sheet
The balance sheet of statement of financial position reports the financial position of a business, including a sole proprietorship, at a specific point in time. The financial position of a sole proprietorship is shown by the amount of the assets held, its liabilities and the amount of the owner's capital. The balance sheet of a sole proprietorship indicates the name of the business, the name of the statement and the date of the statement. It can be drawn in horizontal or vertical format.
Statement of Financial Performance
The statement of financial performance, also known as the income statement or trading account, reports the results of earnings activities for a specific time period, such as a month, quarter or year. The net income of the sole proprietorship is the excess of revenues over expenses for that time. If expenses exceed revenues, the sole proprietorship incurs a net loss. Revenues are the increases in owners' capital from the sale of goods or the performance of services. Other types of revenues include interest, dividends and rental income. Expenses are the costs incurred in the course of carrying out the business.
Statement of Changes in Owner's Equity
The statement of changes in owner's equity serves as a link between the balance sheet and the income statement by explaining the changes that took place in owner's equity or capital during the period covered. The statement shows the beginning amount of equity, the events that increased it, i.e., new investments and net income, and the events that decreased it, i.e., net loss or withdrawals.
Statement of Cash Flows
The fourth financial statement of a sole proprietorship is the statement of cash flows, which describes where the cash came from and where it went during the period. It also shows how much cash was on hand at the beginning of the period and at the end. This information is crucial to the sole proprietor because good cash management is essential for the prosperity and eventual survival of the business.

I drew these two Matryoshka in succession (first the Cambodian and then the Pakistani). I enjoyed drawing all the gold adornments so much that I wanted to draw another culture that wore allot of gold. This is why I always think of these two Matryoshka girls as going together, my Gold Sisters! Also, the Jasmine flowers in their hair. That is why I'm posting these two close-up portraits at the same time (Cambodian and Pakistani). I hope you like them! :)

Cauliflower & Chickpea Stew with Couscous
This beauty has been on our regular rotation for a while, and whenever I'm looking for something hearty and healthy (and vegetarian!), this is one of my favorite go-to's. Minimal prep, minimal cooking time. It's also fabulous served over rice.
Cauliflower and Chickpea Stew with Couscous
via real simple
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
kosher salt and black pepper
28-ounce can whole tomatoes
15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
1 head cauliflower, cored and cut into small florets
1/2 cup raisins
5-ounce package baby spinach, chopped
1 cup couscous
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cumin, ginger, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the tomatoes (crushing with your hands as you add them) and their liquid, chickpeas, cauliflower, raisins, and ½ cup water and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender and the liquid has slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Fold in the spinach and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the couscous in a large bowl. Add 1 cup of hot tap water, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Serve with the stew.

Fluid Warming Silicone Rubber Heaters
Since time is critical in many life-saving situations, a medical device design team needed a thermal solution for rapidly heating plasma that is stored in a refrigerated environment.
Our Solution: The thermal solution needed to be fast, but not so fast that the plasma was damaged because of overheating. It would require an assembly designed with precision dimensions to optimize temperature uniformity. We designed and manufactured a low watt density silicone rubber heater with wattage distributed to provide uniform temperature. The heater was vulcanized to a robust conductive housing material.
The Results: By supplying a complete silicone rubber thermal assembly, our thermal solution met the specifications and reduced design and production costs for the medical device OEM.
For the precise solution to your thermal challenge, contact us today at 866-712-5014.

News Release
Readfield Meats, Inc. Recalls Beef Trimming Products Due to Possible Adulteration
Congressional and Public Affairs
Mitch Adams
(202) 720-9113
WASHINGTON, May 27, 2017 – Readfield Meats, Inc., doing business as Ruffino Meats & Food Service, a Bryan, Texas establishment, is recalling approximately 45,985 pounds of beef trimming products due to possible adulteration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product labels include "For Cooking Only," indicating that they are intended for further processing to apply a full lethality at a federally inspected establishment. Because the products were distributed to non-federally inspected establishments where it cannot be verified that sufficient further processing occurred to remove foodborne pathogens that could have been present, these products must be removed from commerce.
The frozen raw beef trimmings items were produced from May 26, 2015 through May 26, 2017. The following products are subject to recall: [View Labels (PDF Only)]
- 50-lb. boxes containing "BEEF TRIMMINGS FOR COOKING ONLY."
The products subject to recall bear establishment number "EST. 13126" inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail markets, state inspected plants, and individuals located in Texas.
The problem was discovered when an FSIS compliance officer found cases of raw beef trimmings labeled "For Cooking Only" at a retail location.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
Consumers and media with questions about the recall can contact Terry Wiese, plant manager, at (979) 776-5685.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov or via smartphone at m.askkaren.gov. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day. The online Electronic Consumer Complaint Monitoring System can be accessed 24 hours a day at: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/reportproblem.
|USDA Recall Classifications
|Class I
|This is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.
|Class II
|This is a health hazard situation where there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from the use of the product.
|Class III
|This is a situation where the use of the product will not cause adverse health consequences.

March 1986
I don't think either of us spoke during the journey home after our meeting with the Oncologist from Leeds. I remember thinking I must tell work, but tell them what? They might sack me. Times were hard for the engineering industry, I'd already narrowly escaped two rounds of redundancy and who knows when the next might be.
I decided to strike while the iron was hot and went to work the next day to tell my bosses. I figured if I went while I still looked okay then they might think it's not that bad. So I told them, but I'm not sure what they thought, in fact I wasn't sure what anyone thought about my illness because they never told me. Mind you, what do you say to a twenty-five year old who eight weeks ago was showing off his newly born son and was now telling you he had cancer.
After that, I was on a roll, so I decided to tell my Mum and Dad next. They had moved down from Scotland recently, having aborted their attempt at early retirement. I think my Mum was behind that decision, she probably wanted to be nearer her grandchildren. Whilst I wasn't their only child, my older brother's lifestyle as a freelance artist and song writer afforded him little incentive to consider a long-standing relationship, let alone start a family.
Telling my parents was the hardest thing to do. I remember thinking I could be a doctor as I made up my mind I would explain using anything other than the 'C' word.
"I have lymphoma". That was easy.
'What's that then?"
After a painful pause, "It's a type of cancer"
Doh, there I said it.
"Where do you have it?"
"In my lymph nodes"
"What are those?"
And so it continued, the blind leading the blind, what I really wanted to tell them was that I had cancer and I had no idea what happens next because I'm stupid……………………..
