For readers adjusting to strange encounters with online political news, both real and fake, one established publication has managed to do more than its share of the unexpected in this election year. "Somehow Teen Vogue managed to perform actual journalism AND sell overpriced satin rompers," reads a typical Twitter message from a excitable reader. "AT THE SAME DAMN TIME."
"I feel attacked but also validated!!!," replied Phillip Picardi, Teen Vogue's digital editorial director.
Yes, the youth-friendly extension of a century-old fashion and society magazine launched by Condé Montrose Nast himself has somehow become a stalwart of trenchant political writing, taking on topics that defy the shallow stereotypes of a teenage magazine. Recent articles have chronicled student protests, disability activists and Vice President-elect Mike Pence's stance on conversion therapy, not to mention introducing the concept of gaslighting into President-elect Donald Trump's transition.
Nearly two years ago, when Mr. Picardi joined the magazine's digital staff, Teen Vogue online was turning out a steady stream of glossy fashion spreads and beauty coverage that reflected the magazine print edition. In an effort to reflect the full range of interests of its core 18-to-24-year-old female readership, the website shifted away from this exclusive focus on lifestyle and celebrity and began working with young journalists who came from hard news backgrounds.
"We have been correcting the notion that Teen Vogue wouldn't cover this issue," Mr. Picardi, 25, said in a phone interview. "You can care about what you wear, shopping, what kind of lipstick and foundation you're wearing . . . and also you can want to know what's happening in the headlines. Those two things can co-exist peacefully."
This week, in an example of that range, Teen Vogue's home page includes stories about transgender discrimination, a roundup of Golden Globe nominees, prison visitation policies and five tips for building a gingerbread house. "We don't report on every single news piece like a newspaper does," Mr. Picardi said. "So when we do cover something, we cover it from the point of view of a young person. We want to be a resource for them."
Many story ideas are generated by monitoring Teen Vogue readers on social media. "That has such a huge impact on our work," said Terron Moore, the publication's social media director. A comment replying to a story about a makeup trend is taken as seriously as a response to a protest piece. "One of my favorite memes is 'Get you a brand who can do both,'" he said. "We're not afraid to be really excited about both."
The shift to more hard-news coverage, alongside an increase in content output, has paid off. Between April 2015 and this past November, traffic to Teen Vogue jumped from 2.5 million monthly unique visitors to 9.4 million, according to the magazine.
"More than ever we must understand that our reader is multifaceted and is looking to arm herself with as much information as possible," Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour said in a statement, praising Teen Vogue's digital coverage.
The digital traffic boon comes at a time when print publications are suffering, losing both subscribers and esteem. Condé Nast, Teen Vogue's parent company, recently reduced the print magazine to a quarterly publication schedule, down from nine issues in 2016 and 10 a year from 2004 to 2015.
Teen Vogue could well exceed November's surging web audience in December after an opinion piece, "Donald Trump Is Gaslighting America," generated more than a million unique visitors and the attention of publications worldwide. It's the site's best-performing piece of all time, unseating "How to Apply Glitter Nail Polish the Right Way."
Did not expect this exegesis of gaslighting and its relationship to current day politics from Teen Vogue https://t.co/cwNhZ6wvJH— David Folkenflik (@davidfolkenflik) December 10, 2016
David Folkenflik, the National Public Radio media correspondent, was surprised to see this kind of coverage "from a publication with the title 'Teen,'" he said after posting the story to Twitter. He added: "Teen Woke."
Despite the continuous wave of surprise, this kind of coverage is neither new to Teen Vogue nor to the women's magazine world as a whole. Glamour created a special section of its website, "The 51 Million," specifically for election coverage; the name refers to the number of women under the age of 45 who are eligible to vote in the U.S. The history of women's magazines doing groundbreaking hard-news journalism goes back at least to WWII, when Lee Miller, a model-turned-war correspondent, sent photographs of the concentration camps to Vogue for publication.
There's little doubt that the political stories coming out of Teen Vogue can be even more popular than models and makeup. A recent series on the Standing Rock protests, "Ask a Native American Girl," generated more than 8 million views on Facebook. And the print magazine hardly shies away from politics: December's cover story is an interview of First Lady Michelle Obama by 20-year-old actress Zendaya Coleman.
"I don't like this idea that you can't cover the news and cover the Kardashians," Mr. Picardi said. "The idea that girls can't be smart and also care about fashion is, frankly, damaging."

Yoshitomo Saito: millionyearseeds
Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center
February 3 - April 29, 2018
- First Friday Art Party: February 2 from 4:30-7:30pm; from 5:30-6:00 artist Yoshitomo Saito will give a tour of his exhibition
- Also on display: Takaamanohara, two videos by Japanese artist Chiho Aoshima
Born in Tokyo, Japan but residing in the United States since 1983, Yoshitomo Saito finds inspiration in the minutia of the natural world, drawing out details of the environment surrounding us and elements of everyday experiences that most would miss or take for granted. In 2006, Saito moved to the Rocky Mountain region in search of a new and affordable live/work situation to pursue the lifestyle of a fully engaged independent artist. Utilizing the Italian lost-wax process of bronze casting at his Ironton Studios foundry in the RiNo Art District of Denver, the artist freezes delicate, organic objects in time and assembles them into immersive, meditative, thoughtful and sometimes humorous installations.

Who is your favorite character?
My favorite is Silas, I totally love him I want him as my guardian too .
Scarlett is my second favorite, she is reminding me of myself when I was a younger (I'm 20 now, but I can still count as young, right? )
"If man were immortal he could be perfectly sure of seeing the day when everything in which he had trusted should betray his trust, and, in short, of coming eventually to hopeless misery. He would break down, at last, as every good fortune, as every dynasty, as every civilization does. In place of this we have death."
I have to admit that I quite enjoyed the trio of ghouls, Lord Mayor, Fitzhugh and the Bishop, as well as their fellow, the Emperor of China, the 33rd President and the famous Victor Hugo.
Though I'm sure that the ghouls stole their names in the same way they robbed the bodies of the dead, it was equally amusing to think that the celebrated and powerful people of the world were destined to become horrific, shrunken undead cannibals after death but still possessed by their own sense of narcissistic self-importance.
I loved the Lady on the Grey. I can't really explain why I love her so much, but she's probably the one who made the most impact on me. I love the way Neil Gaiman portrays Death on his stories.
An aspiring writer with a love for fantasy.
Silas. Lady on the Grey. Liza Hempstock. Bod himself.
Maybe not particularly in that order, but Silas was surely my favourite. I cried when he and Bod said their goodbyes... it was such a beautiful short conversation, filled with emotions.
There is Robinson, alone on a deserted island; but they will marry.
I guess my favorite character is Silas because he is the one who helps Bod with his education. And he pretty much knows a lot about living than any of the gohsts. He's really smart!
I loved Liza Hempstock and her quiet watchfulness over Bod. There are some minor characters for whom I had great affection: Mother Slaughter, Mo Quilling, Abanazar Bolger, Caius Pompeius. I hope there will be a sequel and we'll be able to see the dark side of some of the characters we don't yet suspect. . . .
I've not finished the book yet (I'm about halfway through) but I love Liza Hempstock too.
I've just rediscovered Neil Gaiman and was reading The Graveyard Book on the train home yesterday. I live on an end-of-the-line station, where the trains just shuttle back and forth between my station and London (where I work). Anyway, last night I was so engrossed in the book that I didn't notice when the train stopped at my station, let everyone off and on, then pulled out and started going back to London. I was about 20 minutes into the return journey before I realised what was going on and had to leap off the train at the next stop!
I've re-read Good Omens and Neverwhere, I'm reading The Graveyard Book now and I have Coraline and American Gods lined up on my nightable waiting for me to get to them. Happy days!
Silas, and Bod himself. I also liked Miss Lupescu, especially when they were in the ghoul world. And I really liked Liza as well
my favorite character was Liza!!! i really enjoyed the fact that she was a bit mean but in the end truly cared about Nobody Owens. i liked that they shared a kiss at the end and Nobody didn't quite know was to do since he had never been kissed before :-)

Full Compass fare gate closures begin April 4, 2016
Today, 675,000 Compass Cards are in active use, with an average of 1.2 million taps on an average week day!
After months of testing and planning, we are prepared for this next step in rolling out Compass.
Starting April 4, 2016 we will begin closing remaining open fare gates.
By April 8, all gates at SeaBus and SkyTrain (which includes Canada Line) stations will be fully closed and customers will need a Compass Card or Compass Ticket to pass through fare gates and travel on SkyTrain and SeaBus.
During the week of April 4, extra staff will be out on the system to help customers with the transition.
UPDATE: We will have staff at fare gates at all SkyTrain and SeaBus stations to assist these customers. When staff cannot be at stations, one accessible fare gate will remain open so these customers can continue to travel independently. During the period following the closure of fare gates, we will directly engage with these individual customers on the system to better understand their diverse needs.
In March, leading up to the full gate closure, we will continue to test all gates closed at different stations across the system.
**NOTE** During the closure demonstrations, staff will be at the fare gates to assist customers. Bus tickets will not be exchanged, but staff will be on hand to assist them entering the system.
After the full fare gate closure, FareSavers and bus transfers will continue to be valid fare on buses, but customers wishing to transfer to SkyTrain or SeaBus must switch to Compass (card or ticket).
We encourage customers to get ready and switch to Compass before April 4.
With Compass, customers can travel and seamlessly transfer across the TransLink network with a single Compass card/ticket while enjoying benefits like AutoLoad and balance protection.
Compass by the numbers:
- More than 675,000 customers now have a Compass Card.
- Approximately 300,000 Compass Cards are tapped on an average weekday.
- 300,000 (45 per cent) of Compass Cards are registered.
- 70,000 Compass customers are using AutoLoad to renew Monthly Passes or top up Stored Value.
- Use of FareSavers is down by 80 per cent.
For more information, head to translink.ca/compasscard.
To order a Compass Card online or register you card, visit CompassCard.ca.
For a convenient, one-stop source for customer questions and answers, visit AskCompass.ca.

What about those of us with Fare Saver tickets? How will we get through the gates? I think the Compass card is a scam, if you have to pay for it to start. That's like having to pay for a credit card, or library card. If you lose it, tough luck, but the first one should be free. Then I would use it.
What about people that are visiting our fine city, using public transit system? Will THEY have to buy a Compass card for day?
Answer these questions, and PROVE that you have thought this through!
By keith, March 1, 2016 @ 12:13 pm
I don't work but they have compass tickets at machine at skytrain and Seabus and last time I checked you can goto machine exchange the ticket I hope so since it be double dip for some people but I like compass card since it's paperless and great for environment
By VancityAlex, March 1, 2016 @ 1:47 pm
Are there plans to configure the fare gates in each station to be one way? Currently, people can enter the gates in either direction, but this causes conflicts, especially by those who aren't willing to use the gates on their right.
By Bobo, March 1, 2016 @ 2:45 pm
Will future buses dispense compass tickets for people paying a cash fare?
By John, March 1, 2016 @ 7:46 pm
Translink is a scam and ripping people off. How about people coming to and from work via YVR? Or templeton station? This compass system started Since Jamuary 1st and we didn't get a response. Everyday we are getting ripped off…no robbed by translink. Really and extremely unsatisfied.
By John, March 1, 2016 @ 7:55 pm
I suggest people working near YVR should not use translink and buy a car a drive instead. Paying for the fare I would mind as well pay for the gas and get the convenience. Besides buses take forever also.
By Andrew, March 1, 2016 @ 8:04 pm
John, if you want to avoid paying the $5 YVR add fare, purchase a compass ticket at another station before hand. The YVR airport authority is the one who implemented the add fare and Translink's job is to collect it for them on their behalf. With the implemention of compass, the only way for them to collect it is through stored value unfortunately.
By Trevor, March 1, 2016 @ 8:26 pm
And what about those of us who are physically unable to hold our cards up to the scanner, are you going to have an attendant at every single gate from the time the train starts till it stops running for the night? Despite what most people think about people with disabilities we actually have live after 5:00!! Who would of thought. But you could just join our current government in screwing us over seems to be a norm for BC and Vancouver
By David M, March 1, 2016 @ 8:33 pm
I visited Vancouver from Victoria. In advance I ordered a Compass Card on-line so I had it before I departed. I do this before visiting any major city that has a similar program (like London England).
The system worked flawlessly. I really like it. Plus you save money on trips with single zone fares at $2.10 if you use the card.
The only downside I saw – the beep is continuous when many people going through the gates. And I agree that at some stations, directional gates would be good to help manage flow.
I'll keep my card for future trips to Vancouver.
I'm not keen on the "pass on the card" system. I wold have preferred to use stored value with a daily cap and a monthly cap instead of "passes". That way I don't have to plan ahead – I can just use the card and not worry about it.
By Brandon, March 2, 2016 @ 12:52 pm
Im seeing all this talk abojt the compass card being used for skytrain and sea bus but absolutely no word of the normal bus system. Are you taking out the papper transfers from the buses to put in the new compass card transfers when paid via cash. Im asking this cause when people use the bus and transfer on to the skytrain the new system will not work with the apper transfers
By Sarah Kertcher, March 2, 2016 @ 1:10 pm
Hi Brandon,
If you purchase a cash fare on the bus using the fare box you will be issued a paper bus ticket. This is valid for use on bus only. Should you wish to transfer to Rail or SeaBus you will need to purchase a Single Use Compass Ticket that will open the fare gates, or you can also purchase a Compass Card and use it for your future travels as well.
By Jim, March 5, 2016 @ 8:50 am
None of the trains are at the same level as the entrance, requiring the use of stairs, escalator or elevator. If someone can't use their arms and/or hands to swipe the compass card how do they use the buttons on the elevator? Am I missing something? Is this issue really a Compass issue? Or has it existed since Skytrain opened.
On a separate note, keep up the good work Translink. Large projects like these are complicated and will always have issues. Most of the complainers probably could project manage themselves out of a water paper bag.
By Sarah Kertcher, March 7, 2016 @ 11:23 am
Hi Jim!
Depending on the level of disability, as well as personal preference, people with disabilities have some intuitive ways to complete tasks that would traditionally require the use of hands. Some of our passengers use a specialized mouth stylus to push buttons on things like phones, doors, etc., or use other types of assistive switches including buttons, sip-and-puff controllers, head arrays, and joysticks. Some of our disabled passengers also travel with an attendant who can assist them in these functions.
Ultimately, this is a broader issue of overall accessibility within the disabled community, which is why our Access Transit department takes this very seriously and has undertaken various forms of outreach and consultation with these groups.
The Disability Alliance BC has some great resources on their website here: http://www.disabilityalliancebc.org
By Gael, March 9, 2016 @ 10:29 pm
How does the $6 deposit work if we are unable to return the card for a full refund? Can we use up the $6 deposit such that the balance is zero?
In the future, will there be more locations to get a refund for the deposit? Stadium Chinatown and West Coast Express are inconvenient to come down to.
If mailing, are we reimbursed for postage?
How come there is no interest paid on the deposit such as they do on damage deposits?
By Jongsu, March 28, 2016 @ 4:45 pm
Im from south korea. The system in south korea did compass card 15 years ago. They changed the system to new one that anybody can pay with their credit or debit card because compass card was very inconvenient(charging).Translink should come up with better one.
By Jim, April 2, 2016 @ 12:35 pm
@gael – why are you so cheap?
By Anonymous, January 14, 2019 @ 4:13 pm
@jongsu they changed it now, now you can pay with ur debit card

Funding Special Education in Our Catholic Schools
Story originally written for the 2016 Catholic Foundation Annual Report by J.D. Flynn
Pope Francis says that welcoming young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, who are often marginalized and forgotten, helps us "to understand the real meaning of life"– to love, and to be loved."
Our church teaches that "it is not enough to affirm the rights of people with disabilities. We must actively work to make them real in the fabric of modern society."
The Harry Barr Fund does just that.
JD Flynn, St. Joseph Parent and School Advisory Committee
"St. Joseph's is reaching people in the same way Pope Francis called us to do and they're promoting St. John Paul II's culture of life."
Established in 2016, the Harry Barr Fund provides resources, training, and support for Catholic education to children with mild, moderate, and significant learning delays. The Inclusive Catholic Education program at St. Joseph School, augmented by the Harry Barr Fund, supports more than 40 children and provides educational opportunities that build on their strengths and abilities, while responding to their individual needs and challenges.
Through the Harry Barr Fund, children with intellectual disabilities and learning delays receive specialized instruction in their classrooms alongside their peers. Teachers are trained to approach instruction with the needs of each child in mind. Specialized textbooks, therapies, and classroom assistants are made available when needed.
Studies have shown that when children with disabilities and delays are included as full classroom participants, every child benefits. Each has the opportunity to grow in compassion, empathy, and respect. Children – disabled and typical – build lifelong friendships, and true Christian unity. When teachers are trained in adaptive and flexible instructional models, classroom behavior and engagement improves, and so do test results, for all children. The Harry Barr Fund facilitates a learning model that respects every child, and helps each grow to his or her full potential.
Supporting specialized instruction for all children, especially those with intellectual and learning delays, is an investment that benefits all children. But the high cost of specialized and supportive instruction means that very few children with Down syndrome, autism, or other significant educational challenges have the opportunity to attend Catholic Schools. The Harry Barr Fund is pioneering a model of inclusive Catholic education that could impact thousands of families, and be replicated in the parishes across our diocese, and across the country. And your support is critical.
Your support for the Harry Barr Fund provides teacher training, instructional material, classroom assistants, and adaptive technology. The Harry Barr Fund is an innovative response to the call and witness of Pope Francis, a work of mercy, and a pro-life commitment to support, serve, and celebrate the dignity of every single human life.
If you'd like to support the Harry Barr Fund with a direct contribution, or initiate a new and similar endowment fund, contact the Catholic Foundation of Southern Nebraska, or donate now by clicking the button below.

I've been enjoying Deus Ex: Human Revolution so far, though it's a self-important dudely game with self-important dudely concerns. I might scale back the difficulty of the game, just because I'm not really interested in combat or dying a lot or failing to be stealthy, etc, etc. I haven't even gotten to the boss fights yet. We'll see how that goes.
I really fail at being a gamer. Oh well. No harm in that.

A man in Port Harcourt loses the gusto to live and kills himself.
A middle aged man on Tuesday jumped from the eighth floor of the Federal Secretariat building in Port Harcourt, landed on the concrete floor below, crashed his head and died immediately.
It is not clear if the man worked at the complex or came there solely for the purpose of committing suicide.
Workers and other visitors to the Federal Secretariat were shocked Tuesday and could only imagine why the man decided suicide was his best bet.
The police arrived at the secretariat building and announced they have commenced investigation.
Port Harcourt has recently been in the news for horrid reasons. Last Friday, four students of the University of Port-Harcourt were beaten and burnt to death by residents of Aluu, a community close to the institution.
The matter is also being investigated by the police who have made some arrests.

KAMLOOPS - Evidence in the Neil Snelson manslaughter trial came to an abrupt end yesterday when the defence called no evidence, essentially ending that portion of the trial.
The Crown completed its case Thursday, June 11 after a week-and-a-half and Snelson's lawyer, Richard Fowler, opted not to put his client, or anyone else, on the stand.
The jury was dismissed until Monday to hear final arguments. Then the case will be left with the jury.
Snelson is charged with manslaughter in the 1993 death of 19-year-old Okanagan Community College student Jennifer Cusworth. She was found raped and beaten to death on Swamp Road in Kelowna.
Cusworth was drinking at a house party Oct 16, 1993 and, according to friends who testified at the trial, attempted to walk home. They never saw her again.
This is Snelson's second trial in connection to her death.

Chelsea youngster Marco van Ginkel is set to be ruled out until next season after suffering a horror injury.
Van Ginkel lasted just 10 minutes of his first start for the Blues , in the Capital One Cup win at Swindon , before landing awkwardly on his right knee after a challenge involving the home side's Mark Pritchard.
Chelsea immediately feared the worst for the young Dutchman, who tried to play on but had to give way soon afterwards.
Now, preliminary examinations have confirmed he has a torn anterior cruciate ligament and will undergo surgery in the next 48 hours.
The £8million arrival from Vitesse Arnhem has been told to expect nine months on the sidelines, ruling him out of next summer's World Cup.
Chelsea have yet to confirm the length of his absence, but Van Ginkel received a message of support from Blues team-mate Michael Essien, who suffered three similar injuries in as many seasons and missed the 2010 World Cup.
Essien tweeted: "Stay strong Marco. You have our support. You will be back stronger. Get well soon my friend."
Jose Mourinho is also set to be without Ramires for Saturday's big trip to Tottenham.
The Brazilian, who replaced Van Ginkel at the County Ground and scored the Blues' second goal, was substituted at half-time because of a hip problem.

The Pope and Mussolini
More deeply troubling revelations around Vatican collaboration with evil. With the unsealing of archives in 2006 concerning the papacy of Pius XI, Kertzer (Social Science, Anthropology and Italian Studies/Brown Univ.; Amalia's Tale: A Poor Peasant, an Ambitious Attorney, and a Fight for Justice, 2008, etc.) found the call to scrutinize them "irresistible." The author spares no toes in his crushing of the church's "comforting narrative" around its relationship with Mussolini's fascist regime. The signing of the Lateran Accord in 1929 between the Holy See and the dictator established the Vatican as sovereign territory and bound the Catholic Church and the regime to a new period of codependence.
Having been elected to the papacy just as Italy was rocked by cataclysmic violence between fascists thugs and socialists, Pius XI and his advisers "began to question the wisdom of opposing Mussolini's crusade." While Mussolini had previously spoken out against the power and holdings of the church, and the fascists unleashed a campaign of beatings of priests and Catholic activists, Mussolini's sudden and opportunistic embrace of the church by 1922—for example, asking for "God's help" in his first address to parliament—charmed Pius into thinking he had an ally to bring the church more firmly back into Italian life, which had been challenged by modernism.
Although Mussolini's increasing cultivation of cult status alarmed Pius, his minions and, indeed, the church organ extolled fascism for seeking to "place spiritual values once again in the place of honor they once occupied, especially as required by the battle against liberalism." Even Mussolini's suppression of the pope's darling Catholic Action youth groups did not fray collaboration between them to marginalize Italian Protestants and Jews, until Pius grew ill and it was too late to change course. Kertzer is unflinching and relentless in his exposure of the Vatican's shocking actions.

Recently I attended the launch of Golden Axe Cider. I love supporting local producers and these guys fit the bill perfectly: Victorian apples, handcrafted, bit geeky, focused on quality and a fantastic tasting cider with just the right amount of sweetness. I was asked if I would come up with a recipe featuring this fabulous brew. I have thought of a few so consider this the first instalment. Please try the recipe – it might sound like a slightly strange combination at first but it tastes amazing (yes, modest aren't I – trust me its the ingredients) and by all means drop me a line to let me know how it goes. This recipe serves 2.
about 4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp butter
2 shallots, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3/4 cup Carnaroli rice
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup Golden Axe cider (for risotto)
3/4 cup Golden Axe cider (for braising)
medium bulb fennel
1 pork sausage. I used a Robert Marchetti Berkshire sausage. It is a classic coarse sausage. You want the filling of the sausage to be chunky not fine – it helps with the crumble. Whatever you use try and make sure they were happy pigs. Remove the sausage from its casing and break into small pieces.
1 cup small cauliflower florets
2 tblsp finely grated parmesan
1 tblsp hot paprika
salt and pepper
Trim a little off the bottom of the fennel and chop off the top stalks but keep the feathery leaves for garnish. Slice the fennel in half vertically so that it still stays together. Continue cutting each half until you have eight "wedges" of fennel. In a small frypan or saucepan heat a tablespoon of olive oil and about a teaspoon of butter. carefully add your fennel to the pan cut side down and cook over a medium heat until it just begins to caramelise. Turn each wedge (carefully so they don't fall apart) so that the browning and caramelisation is even. The aim is not a lot of colour just a hint as in the below photo.
Next add the cider. I've said 3/4 cup but that it really depends on the size and depth of your pan. The liquid should almost cover the fennel pieces.
Reduce the heat and cook the fennel until it is soft but not mushy. It will take about 15 minutes. Turn the pieces to ensure even cooking and when the liquid has reduced by half cover the pan – either with the lid if you are using a saucepan or a piece of foil over the top if you have a frypan. When you are happy with the texture of the fennel remove from the heat but leave them in the pan.
Now, on to the risotto. Heat the remaining olive oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. add to this the shallots and garlic and when just turning translucent (this should take a minute) add the rice and cook for about two minutes. Pour the Golden Axe into the rice and bring to the boil. When the liquid has all but evaporated it's time to start adding the stock. Many recipes suggest that you heat the stock before adding it, and there are excellent reasons to do so, but if you cannot be bothered, its not the end of the world! I add the stock a little at the time and agitate the pan for a little while each time then basically let it sit and absorb. For this risotto it leaves me free to make the "crumble".
Turn your grill on high. Line a baking tray with baking paper (not necessary but makes washing SO much easier) and spread an even layer of the cauliflower and sausage. Sprinkle this with the hot paprika and pop under the grill – not on the top shelf but one down if you can. Having it under the grill does mean you need to keep a closer eye on it, but I found I got better results with the grill than using the oven. If grilling isn't possible the oven is perfectly fine.
For the next 15-20 minutes you will need to alternate between adding more stock to the risotto and moving around your "crumble". I used tongs to move it around. It helps it cook evenly.
When you have added half the chicken stock to the risotto carefully add the fennel along with whatever liquid is left in your pan. Stir through gently and resume the adding of stock as before. I keep tasting my rice grains to work out when the risotto is done – and I am sure the time is different every time I make one. Hard to write a recipe for that but it just means that you need to practice. The rice should not be super soft. Nor should the mixture be dry. After you have added your last bit of stock it's time to add the parmesan and season to taste with salt and pepper. When you are happy remove it from the heat.
The crumble should be done by now too if not a little earlier. Ladle your risotto into shallow bowls, place the crumble on top and garnish with some of the reserved fennel leaves. The only thing left to do is eat and enjoy.
If you are wondering what you should drink with this, the answer is easy – a Golden Axe cider!

Initial QA
During our responsive website design agency's "initial QA," we study the work we've done and scan it for all types of errors, from broken links to content errors to missing pixels and more. We also study the overall design to make sure all of the colors, fonts, borders, and other elements are correct. If we're studying an entire website we've built, we also make sure all of the usability features are up-to-par.
Final QA
Once we make all of our revisions and after we send our work to our client to revise as well, we launch it (meaning it goes live on the Internet). Some website elements can't be tested until they are live, such as contact forms or processing pages that require custom programming, so we check our work again after the launch to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Ongoing QA
At our responsive website design agency, we constantly check our work for errors. Each day, no matter what we're working on, we continuously scan it to ensure that there are no mistakes. We know the importance of QA and how it can affect our reputation, sales, clients, and overall usability, so we'll never cut corners with our work. We believe in providing quality assurance before, during, and after delivering our solutions.

You might have seen from recent posts that I have been out in Morocco with my wife Gail on a challenge to help raise money and awareness for a charity called Big Change which does extraordinary work in education in the UK.
Big Change is the brainchild of Holly and Sam Branson and it is already making a significant difference, with the government putting £50m into one of their pilot schemes. The charity holds an annual challenge called STRIVE and they are notoriously tough. One year they set off from Verbier, walked across the mountain ranges and scaled the Matterhorn. Only three out of the whole group made it, it was that tough. Last year they cycled across the whole length of Italy before swimming across the sea to Sicily and if that wasn't daft enough, they then climbed Mount Etna. I couldn't take part because it was around the time that our daughter Summer being born. So, earlier this year in March in Verbier, Switzerland at another fundraising event, relaxed after a couple of glasses of wine, I "foolishly" committed to join them on their quest.
I say foolishly tongue in cheek as it is a worthy cause, something close to my heart, it was just going to be a tough week!
Without doubt, I have been very lucky in my life when it comes to schooling. I got a scholarship at 7 years of age, to board and sing at Durham Cathedral. It was a huge honour and it gave me access to some incredible experiences. At 13, when my voice broke, my parents tried to continue private school education and managed until I was 16 but couldn't afford to keep this up after that. So I made the choice to move away from home and headed to Salford.
I got a taste of college life in a well respected college De La Salle. I don't think it's there any more. The difference in the education I'd experienced in early life was just light years apart from when I attempted my A Levels.
What I realised is that it's the teachers and key figures in your life that get you through these tough times in education. Without a role model in Salford and zero guidance, I failed dismally. I can't blame the school: I just didn't have people around me to support me through it like I'd had in earlier life.
To make matters worse, I was very dyslexic. Not something I knew or understood then. I'd always struggled to read and write as well as my other classmates and I was left to my own devices, to fail. And fail I did, with the BBC now wheeling me out most years to talk about my grades on results day to give youngsters confidence that it is not all doom and gloom if you do as badly as me!
Looking back I have been very lucky indeed to go from a complete failure to a very successful businessman. It's a miracle and a few of my teachers would agree.
Without doubt, my schooling in the early days set me up to give me the chances I have had. But it is not the school itself that has made the difference, it's the teachers within them that count. Just a handful that took me under their wing to ensure I just about kept up with the others, giving me the belief and encouragement necessary to persevere.
One of the problems in my state school experience is that the class sizes were so much bigger that its impossible for teachers to really get to know you and care about each and every one of the kids on the journey. Many teachers may disagree with this, but consider what you might be able to do if you halved the class sizes.
This is just one observation of some of the many differences, but really what doesn't sit well with me is that there are any differences at all. Why should I or others be any luckier than some other kid. My parents got themselves in to huge financial debt to give me the best start they could, and this is not right either.
So, now it's time to make a difference.
And yes, it starts with building our own school, a state sponsored school that I am going to ensure delivers education that rivals the top public schools. But this is only one, and whilst we want to build more, what else can we do?
This is where BIG CHANGE comes in. Set up to look at best practice and fund amazing schemes that clearly make a difference, this is a charity that is close to my heart.
With about a month to go before flying to Morocco, Gail decided to join me and whilst we both keep ourselves fit, neither of us had done enough cycling. We'd done a little bit in the run up before but it was nowhere near enough for the type of event we had signed up for.
The STRIVE: Morocco challenge was split into two halves. The first involved cycling to the foothills of the Atlas mountains and the second was to climb 4200m to the top of Mount Toubkal, straight after the cycle. Realistically, either challenge would have been fine on their own but to join the two, with a lack of cycling preparation on top, was going to be painful!
It's been an amazing experience. Not least for raising around £700,000 in the week, but just meeting so many people also passionate to make a difference like myself and Gail.
The challenge also reminded me that when you are outside your comfort zone it's the people around you that pull you through. Just like school, just like the mentoring we are doing with Tech Manchester. Just like the amazing schemes that BIG CHANGE supports.
I have been overwhelmed with how generous my friends are and people supporting us. People who don't have money to give away contributing.
That's what is special about our community. Thank you to everyone of you for your support and I look forward to sharing some of the stories in due course.
BIG CHANGE – thank you for donating


text: Today was our Christmas Baking Day. After church, we stopped by the grocery store to pick out special cookie toppings. My son wanted the green cornflake and marshamallow holly wreaths. My daughter wanted the sugar cookie cut outs. She has an artistic flair and takes a long time to decorate each cookie. We are finishing up on Monday. We also have a gingerbread house to complete.

What Is a Bakery Concept Statement?
A business concept statement summarizes the focus of your new business, particularly how it differs from competitors. A bakery concept statement presents the focus of that bakery, such as wedding cakes, artisan breads, pastries or a particular target audience, as well as the overall business concept that sets that bakery apart from other bakeries in the area.
Your bakery's concept statement lets potential lenders or investors know more about your business. It should provide a clear view of why your bakery will be successful, even if local competitors are larger or cheaper, to convince these sources to lend or invest money for your start-up or operating costs. The business concept can also help set you apart from competitors in your customers' eyes, so it should provide a compelling reason for them to buy your products over others.
What to Include
A bakery concept statement should include the basic information about what your bakery is and does, how it is unique, and who it serves. The latter should include the location as well as your target customer demographic. You should also include when the bakery will open for business, its operating hours, and the basics of your marketing plan. You don't need to include specific financial numbers in the concept statement, but note where and how you intend to market your bakery, such as at wedding expos for a wedding-cake-focused bakery or through local coupon books for a neighborhood full-service bakery.
Example: Neighborhood Bakery
A neighborhood bakery concept statement might be similar to the following: "The [Bakery Name] will provide the residents of [neighborhood name] with fresh-baked artisan breads, cakes and cookies on a daily basis. All breads are scratch-made from locally sourced ingredients, and we will carry a line of gluten-free products and a line of dairy-free products, as well as other efforts to maintain sensitivity to special diets. The bakery's extended hours, beginning at 5 a.m. and ending at 9 p.m. each week day, will provide service to locals on their way to and from work, as well as maintaining a casual, drop-in environment for late evening visits and daytime fresh-baked goods. The bakery will hold weekly promotions via its Facebook page, as well as offering coupons in the neighborhood newspaper." This statement provides the who, what, why and how with a focus on the bakery's unique aspects, specifically its allergen-awareness and extended hours.
A bakery with a niche market, such as a cupcake bakery, might focus more on its ability to do custom cupcake designs for special occasions and include statistics related to a general interest growth in cupcakes if it is the first cupcake-focused bakery in the area. If your bakery targets a particularly high-income clientele, your concept statement might discuss how your location makes it convenient for this clientele to reach you, as well as how your quality ingredients and baking experience justify the higher costs. The concept statement generally goes on your business plan, but you can also use this statement, or a modified version of it, in press releases about your bakery and in your other marketing efforts.

Souffles are something that I really struggle with. I follow the recipe closely, I set the oven temperature just right, I try not to beat the egg whites too much, but the result is usually a complete disaster. The kitchen is a mess, there is very little rising in the souffle and the taste is usually ordinary at best. It is often the same case with Chefs doing the SEO on their website. Restaurant SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is making sure that your website is found in Google and other Search Engine results. Like me cooking a souffle, getting SEO is a complicated process. You may pick some keywords, but are they present in the copy, in the metatags, are they the right terms and how well are they working?
The difference between Restaurant SEO and cooking a souffle.
With a souffle, you know straight away if you've nailed it or not. It is light and fluffy, spilling over the sides, and has an amazing taste. As you can see, my souffle, was heavy, had not risen and the taste was pretty ordinary. I didn't end up eating it. With Restaurant SEO though, many Restaurant owners don't know if it is being effective or not. Too many have an "SEO guy" who assures them that they are doing really well. Poor SEO is can be the silent killer for a Restaurant. We wrote a while ago about a Restaurant that failed because of their website had no text on it whatsoever. After the Restaurant was sold at a loss of over $200,000, a new chef came in, got a website with great SEO, introduce a menu with higher costs and started to run a successful and profitable Restaurant.
We introduce our Marketing Metrics email for each of our Restaurant customers which means that at the start of every month each Restaurant gets an email detailing the traffic to their website, along with how they rank against hundreds of other Restaurants, so that they can properly determine whether their website is working for them or not.
Most Restaurant owners create great food, provide great experiences at a price that is great value, they just need some great marketing.
At Marketing4Restaurants we have created a range of tools to help Restaurants find new customers and turn them into repeat customers.
- The Free Restaurant OnLine Ordering System – Cut the costs of taking orders online.
- The Free Online Restaurant Booking System – We've taken over 300,000 seats of bookings for Restaurants.
- Secret Sauce – The Restaurant Marketing Podcast. Helping Restaurant owners in over 74 countries.
- The 5 minute a day Restaurant Marketing MBA. Every day we send you an email with a tip, trick, strategy, tactic, idea or just a bit of inspiration to help you run your Restaurant better.
And don't worry, we also have the recipe for great Restaurant SEO that works every time 🙂

The Lesson Plan
NFP: Celebrating God's design for love and life
Pro-Woman, Pro-Man, Pro-Child, Natural Family Planning
NFP summer schedule
Natural Family Planning Information
Restoring dignity through NFP-compatible medical care
Following the sexual revolution, many in the women's healthcare community in the United States adopted a paradigm of care which has undermined women's dignity through a few key hypocrisies.
The fruitfulness of NFP
Marriage is a loaded, contested word these days. Everyone seems to have a different idea on what it is, and what it looks like. The Church teaches that three essential factors of marriage are that it be faithful, fruitful, and forever. We may feel at a loss as to how to make that point in our society today; we've called the legislators, we are still praying, but we really feel that one of the best things to do as Catholics is to live our own marriages well. To do that, we need to be martyrs, of a sort.
Pentecost: Catch the Spirit and be bold in your faith!
Pentecost, May 19, is a solemnity — the highest ranking liturgical feast — and it celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles. It serves as the grand and glorious conclusion to the 50-day Easter Season — seven continuous weeks that celebrate the greatest mystery of the Christian faith, the resurrection. It brings the paschal mystery to completion.
We find grace for Christian conversion in meeting the Risen Lord and the Holy Spirit
In examining the early Christian Church as described in Acts, there are certain characteristics that were integral and intrinsic to the Christian community.
Month of May celebrates Mary, motherhood
Three special days celebrate devotion to Mary
Pope: God is real, concrete person, not mysterious, intangible mist
The Christian faith teaches that God is a real, concrete person, not some intangible essence or esoteric mist like "god-spray," Pope Francis said.
Easter joy extends throughout 50-day season
Greatest of Christian feasts can't be adequately observed in a single day
Confessors called to help Catholics recognize God's love
The sacrament of penance, or reconciliation, helps Catholics recognize "the truth about themselves: that they are beloved children of the Father, who is rich in mercy," said Cardinal Manuel Monteiro de Castro.
Epiphany: Jesus came for the salvation of all
The good news of the birth of Jesus and the salvation he brings is intended not only for the people of Israel, but for all people everywhere. And, the appearance of the star to the Magi is one of the first Gospel indicators of the universality of salvation.

Porus 10th April 2018 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
Ambhi challenges Puru to fight and kill bear, only then he will listen to him. Ambhi's wife Alka asks Puru to be careful as this animal is most dangerous one. Puru says animals are not more dangerous than human. Alka thinks if Puru is here, then where is Ambhi kumar. Laachi takes Ambhi kumar to Dasyu lok and ties him to a chair. Mahanandini scolds that she once again helped traitor Puur made one more enemy in Takshashila by bringing Ambhi kumar here. Laachi says Puru is pronounces traitor and given death sentence for helping them, they should be thankful to him. It is not a question of Puru, Dasyus, Pourav rastra, or Takshahila now, it is a question of truth now.
Puru walks towards monster bear. Bear runs towards Puru. Alka pleads Ambhi raj to not get Puru via monster bear as he has half
Takshahila blood. Ambhi raj says Puru chose this fight, so he cannot help, she should just enjoy it.
In Pourav rastra, Hasti and Pritha are brought in royal courtyard for Hasti's punishment. Anusuya says Bamni that he is Pourav rastra's chariot and should move ahead forgetting past. Bamni asks what she means. She says he should forgive Hasti and give him a chance to prove himself. Bamni says Hasti helped Purshottam to attack Kanishk and even attack Anusuya, so his crime is not forgivable. She pleads him to forgive Hasti as he is Ripudaman's son who sacrificed his whole life for their rastra, if they cannot do that much to his family . Bamni says whatever Hasti did commands punishment, but since he is Ripudaman's son, he will get forgiveness, but he cannot join Pourav army. He says Pritha that he knows she sacrificed her life with Ripudaman, so in her respect, she can take as much wealth she wants, but her son cannot get the place Ripu had got, this is his justice. Pritha thanks him for forgiving her son, she does not need any wealth, she will leave from here with his permission. They both leave. Bamni asks Kanishk to call Rajguru and send a message to Darius that he wants to select date of Kanishk and Barsin's wedding. Kanishk and Kadika get happy.
Puruc continues fighting with bear and it injures Puru severely. Puru falls down energiless. Ambhi laughs on Puru that he is also a fool like his mother who spoilt her like dreaming of united Bharath and he is doing same. Puru says sacrifice always pays off, gets up and kills monster bear. Ambhi is shocked to see that while Alka rejoices. Puru says Pourav prince kept his promise, now it is Ambhi's turn. Ambhi asks what he needs. Puru says he wants Takshashila army attack Pourav rastra under his guidance, if he liked his proposal or not.
Rajguru checks kundalis and tells next week there is a good wedding muhurath, after that till 6 months, there is not any. Darius asks Bamni not to worry, they have a saying in Bharath that one should not delay in good deeds, they should get this wedding finished next wee. Bamni says how can they make arrangements so soon. She asks Rajguru to recheck again. Darius says if she does not trust her loyal rajguru, they should agree to him and get this marriage next week. He smirks at Rajguru and remninisces bribing him with wealth and frightening him with sword. Out of flashback, he says he wants to return to Faras soon, now it is Bamni's decision. Anusuya says they cannot take wedding decision so soon and should calm down. Kanishk arrogantly says he is losing his calm, earlier her son tried to kill him, now she is trying to stop his wedding, what enemity they have with him. Anusuya says it is not true. Bamni shouts enough, he has already decided.
Puru asks Ambhi if he will support or not. Ambhi says to finish enemy, he cannot permit enemy's own blood to him enemy. Puru asks what about Takshashila's blood in him, he sent Ambhi kumar to kill me, does he know where Ambhi is, if he will permit or see his son dying.
Precap: Alexander looking at world map says he heard Bharath's protector will confront him, he wants to see who he is. Ambhi raj tells Puru it is impossible for whole army to cross Hhelum river.

NILAI's skyline is set to be altered significantly once the multi-billion ringgit Vision City project by GD Holdings takes off and is completed in stages in a decade.
The ambitious development, which will house the country's largest convention and exhibition centre, will be built on a 20ha prime land just off the North-South Expressway and minutes away from the KL International Airport.
The development will also include its Youth City project, which has four blocks of service apartments – with the highest being 36 storeys and with full club and common facilities on each rooftop.
The project is poised to turn Nilai into a vibrant city.
GD Holdings Group managing director Huan Woon Han said the state-of-the-art multifaceted development would be a "frontier" for the multi-billion Malaysia Vision Valley (MVV) project.
Covering a 108,000ha area straddling Seremban-Port Dickson-Nilai, the MVV is part of the Govern-ment's vision for Greater Kuala Lumpur that will be undertaken in stages up to 2045.
"We decided to embark on this challenging project after taking into consideration the huge geographical advantages of Nilai, its growing affluent population and the positive trend of real estate market.
"The whole development project with an estimated gross development value of over RM10bil will keep our company busy for the next eight to 10 years," he said at the opening of the Vision City sales gallery.
Also present at the event were its chairman Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and GD Holdings executive chairman Datuk Seri David Yeat Sew Chuong.
Huan said the four blocks of service apartments to be completed within four years will have 3,021 units ranging from 460sq ft to 1,008sq ft in size.
"The apartments will be affordable and cost about RM200,000 and upwards," he said, adding that the company also hoped to attract those travelling daily to work from Seremban to Kuala Lumpur.
He said under the second phase of the project, a Vision Theme Park, comprising hotels, recreation parks, duty-free outlets and a VAT tax refund counter among others, will be built.
"The Vision Theme Park will support the Youth City by creating more employment and business opportunities for the youth.
"The move is also in line with making Nilai the first destination and last stop for international tourists," he said.
Apart from housing the biggest convention and exhibition centre, the Global Trading and Exhibition Centre, to be built under phase three, the project will also have the nation's biggest building material mall.
"We already have about 300 manufacturers of raw materials from China who have expressed their interest to establish their regional centres here.
"From here, they will also be able to export their products to other parts of the world," he said, adding that the convention and exhibition centre.
Huan said the group also planned to attract reputable international financial houses including those offering Islamic banking services and halal products to set up operations at the Global Trading and Exhibition Centre.
"The final phase of the development will be the establishment of education centres to further promote Nilai as an education hub.
"In fact, we have already signed a memorandum of understanding with the Queensland State Education Department to offer their syllabus for students from Year One to 12 at an international school to be built here," he said.
Huan said GD Holdings had also established a strong foothold in Nilai over the past five years with the completion of several projects.
"The journey has not been easy but GD Holdings has managed to overcome all obstacles to achieve its current financial status and the leading market position in Nilai," he added.
At the event, GD Holdings also signed agreements with GS Realty Sdn Bhd and Synergiem Bhd to undertake the sale of its properties in Vision City.

No Tweety Birds
My alarm clock each morning is birds chirping. For the last several days I have gotten to get up without the chirping. No alarm. No need to wake up at a certain time. Glorious!!
Early Bird
Even without the alarm I have been up at a pretty reasonable hour each day of vacation…but especially today. I was up with the sun and ready to get to work in the courtyard outside. I've ignored the courtyard thinking that I'd work on it after the workers finished the balcony…but instead, I'm sick of waiting for these guys (who by the way apparently NEVER work) to finish the job.
The Worms
I raked, bagged, weeded, planted, and cleaned the courtyard. I also went to my least favorite store in the world…Home Depot…TWICE. But all in all I would say it was a successful day! There are lots of flowers and lots of beautiful birds, bees, bugs, and worms to watch now that everything is clean, blooming, and ready to enjoy.

Im sure you read our coverage of the outside of the show at SOWO a couple of clicks below and now its time for the inside. I know what your thinking "wait what? That wasnt the show?" No, that was just the parking lot basically. Now on to the real show, the "actual" SOWO which is basically a SEMA show but only filled with Volkswagen's and Audi's. Hit the jump for your daily dose of illogically slammed rides.

SOWO Highlight - Corvair Sickness
I rarely do this here on racefriv, usually I just clump together everything awesome I saw in a show and maybe within the post do a little high light of a car. But that would be a disservice to this Corvair. John Ludwick's Corvair is just about the sickest car I came across at Sowo and thats saying alot. This car was cruising on air bags and he had a 1200 mile drive to make it down to Helen. Thats right this car drove, not trailered, 1200 miles form New Hampshire just to make it to Sowo, that is dedication. Click read more to see a few more snaps of this neck breaker.

Planet Low: SOWO Part 1
I honestly didnt know what to expect when I showed up to Southern Worthersee this year, as I have never been before nor had I ever remembered ever seeing any photos come out of the event. But a lot of my friends were going and I knew Id at least have a good time with them even if we were the only people in the town (actually that would be awesome). But my mind was completely blown. Have you ever walked into a movie theater having never heard of the movie you were seeing, cause a lady friend dragged you there, only to have your mind totally blown with awesomeness. That was SOWO for me, it was like stepping into an alternate universe. Welcome to Planet Low.

Here lies a list of my favorite podcast that teach the most random and interesting things about current events, economics, technology, business, and absolutely everything in between.
I spend a shameful amount of time listening to podcasts and I love a wide range of genres from true crime to comedy . I love podcasts that are interesting, entertaining, and educational – I feel slightly more accomplished listening to podcasts that teach me something new about the world.
Stuff You Should Know is eclectic podcast that explains literally everything under the sun in an extremely relatable way. The two hosts are experts on the material and yet casual and conversational. Listening to this podcast is like sitting at your local bar eavesdropping on two friends nerding out over their favorite topic du jour at the next table over. Some great episodes are "How the Hyperloop Will Work", "How Ketchup Works", "Do Motivational Speakers Motivate People", and "What is Ghost Fishing."
Make Me Smart is from the makers of Marketplace and covers business, economics, and culture. Kai and Molly have a great banter and really take the time to discuss and explore topics. Most episodes feature an interview with a leader in their field and the final question is always "What's something you thought you knew, but later found out you were wrong about?" Some of my favorite episodes have been "Reddit CEO Steve Huffman is not Horsing Around" and "Beware the Nurtured Narrative".
Planet Money was birthed from This American Life's coverage of the housing market collapse and examines economics in a hands-on way. The reporters learn about off shore banking by setting up their own shell company (Unbelizable Inc.) in "We Set Up an Off Shore Company in a Tax Haven". And they buy 100 barrels of oil and follow it through the process of getting out of the ground and in to a gas tank in a series starting with "We Buy Oil". The show truly makes learning about economics entertaining.
Freakonomics is a wonderful combination of storytelling and teaching economic theories and principles – think This American Life meets Econ 101. Some standout episodes are "Ten Ideas to Make Politics Less Rotten", "Do Boycotts Work", and "Should We Really Behave Like Economists Say We Do".
Note to Self examines what it is like to thrive in our modern, technology-filled world. It asks tough questions that challenge the role of technology in our lives. I really loved their program Infomagical, a week long project that helps you reflect on your relationship with technology.

curation, editing, audiovisual, digital storytelling
Not so long ago, producing a cleverly edited high-definition movie and distributing it worldwide was a only available to specialists using expensive, rarified tools. Now it is available to most people who own a phone.
What does professional media production entail, when widely available amateur tools are ubiquitous, high quality, and easy to use? Who saves all our media, and for how long? What's in it for them? And as we take these tools increasingly for granted, what massive technical and economic forces have we elided?

Blue skies and not much of a breeze combined to produce
beautiful sights like this earlier today :)
It may still officially be winter but at least one snake looks to have
decided that it's warm enough to stop hibernating and slither out!
Despite the Keung Shan Country Trail I went on last Sunday being considerably more challenging as well as lengthier than the hiking route I opted for earlier today, I drank about the same amount of Gatorade and water as I did over the course of the two hikes. One big reason why this was the case was that today was several degrees warmer than last Sunday. Indeed, so warm was it this afternoon that I found myself perspiring quite a bit despite wearing only one layer of clothing for the entire hike -- and at least one snake (whose neck coloring has me suspecting that it was a red-necked keelback) decided it was time to venture out and get some sun!
The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if the hottest January on record is followed by what will turn out to be the hottest February on record, and part of me is already dreading what the summer of 2017 will be like in terms of its heat quotient. At the same time though, I have to say that I am generally finding this winter's temperatures to be very agreeable. As I've declared on more than one occasion, my favorite temperature range is that when it's cool enough to be flannel shirt, corduroy trousers and/or sweater weather, yet not so cold that one feels a need to wear thick coats and thermal underwear -- and that has been the range for the most part this winter here in Hong Kong!
Another way to get a good idea of this afternoon's conditions is that there was so little breeze in the air when I was walking in the vicinity of the Tai Tam Reservoirs that the surfaces of those artificial bodies of water resembled smooth mirrors, yet it still was really enjoyable to be getting in some exercise outdoors! Something else that's not usually the case during Hong Kong winters was that visibility was on the pretty high side today. And any day when I can see the hills of Sai Kung from Hong Kong Island, like I was able to this afternoon, is one that makes me so very glad to be out enjoying the scenery and weather here in the often surprisingly beautiful Big Lychee. :)

Space Robotics Challenge Phase 2,
Presented by BHP
How will future astronauts survive on distant planets? NASA is developing a variety of autonomous robots to build the infrastructure before humans even get there. This capability will allow future astronauts to focus on more important projects as we explore the cosmos.
You can be part of NASA's mission to develop the next generation of robots through our Space Robotics Challenge. Space Center Houston and NASA's Centennial Challenges Program have partnered to present the Space Robotics Challenge.
The Space Robotics Challenge focuses on developing software to increase the autonomy of mobile robots during space travel and on other planets and moons.
The first phase of the Space Robotics Challenge took place in 2017 and focused specifically on NASA's Valkyrie robot (also known as Robonaut 5 and R5). Phase two of the Space Robotics Challenge focuses on autonomous robots operating on the surface of the moon and collecting and manufacturing useful materials.
The Space Robotics Challenge is one of Space Center Houston's many community science initiatives intended to inspire all generations through the wonders of space exploration. Click here to learn more about our education programs.
