Butler Beach and Jim Crow
Millions of visitors and locals alike enjoy Florida's beaches every year, along with the public facilities built to enhance them. That privilege was restricted for many years, however, by Jim Crow laws that prohibited African-Americans from sharing those beaches with their fellow citizens who were white. In some areas, public authorities provided separate beaches designated for use by African-Americans, such as Miami's Virginia Beach, shown below.
Elsewhere, private individuals took the initiative. African-American businessman Frank B. Butler responded to beach segregation in northeast Florida by purchasing and opening his own beach on Anastasia Island.
Butler, who owned the Palace Market in the Lincolnville district of St. Augustine, began buying land on Anastasia Island in 1927. Over time, he developed a residential subdivision, casino, motel, and beach resort for African-Americans. By 1948, at least eleven African-American-owned businesses operated in the area, and "Butler Beach" was a thriving tourist attraction. This was reputedly the only beach between Jacksonville and Daytona that African-Americans were allowed to use. These photos depict Butler Beach at the height of its popularity in the 1950s.
Teachers, you may find our Black History Month resource guide to be helpful when planning for lessons about civil rights, Jim Crow segregation, or other aspects of the African-American experience in the United States.

Hugh Hendry simply gives a lesson to Joe Stiglitz who proves that he does not understand debt. Hendry suggests that the only way out is through debt default or debt forgiveness. Yes, he is 100% correct, everything else is simply debt shuffling, and yes, that would whack the banks. Just ignore the Spanish Ambassador, he has no clue and a very biased outlook. Stiglitz, however, has no excuse and clearly does not understand debt saturation.
Freedom's Vision is the right course of action, not only for the United States, but also Greece and most of the world. (ht JB)

With summer in full swing , perhaps like me you'd like to watch a few good movies with your kids. But with all the hair-raising stuff appearing onscreen, parents can use some good advance reporting on movie content.
Allow me to introduce you to one of my favorite voices on all things movie, Sister Rose Pacatte, F.S. P., director of the Pauline Center for Media Studies in Culver City, California. With a masters in media studies from the University of London, Pacatte does media literacy education for parents and teachers. We interviewed her a few years back at U.S. Catholic magazine, and her down-to-earth wisdom about movies and TV and kids was refreshing.
Pacatte's website contains not only current reviews of some movies in theaters and recently on DVD, but also a list of movies chosen for her "Meeting Jesus at the Movies Program for Kids 2010." She also lists movies that embody the sacraments as well as "Movie Bible Nights: The Ten Commandments for 2010" (many movies in these last two categories are for adults).
Pacatte is a wise, down to earth guide to Hollywood's offerings.
Other movie resources: screenit.com, which offers exhaustive content analysis for movies (language, nudity, violence, drugs, even "jump scenes"). Free access to info about most movies; you can pay to subscribe to see reviews of new movies as soon as they come out.
The Office for Film and Broadcasting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops also reviews movies in theaters and coming to DVD (you can find the list of the Vatican's top 45 films at this site, too). And Nell Minow's Movie Mom blog also reviews movies with a reliable parent's eye.

April 23, 2019
This morning ISIS claimed responsibility for the Easter Sunday bombings at St. Anthony's and other Christian churches and hotels in Sri Lanka which claimed 321 lives. While the mainstream media is spinning a yarn that this is retaliation for the March attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand which left 49 dead, the truth is that the same Satanic bloodline oligarchs are responsible for both atrocities.
The Luciferian Illuminati cartel owners who lord over the world's people and resources as self-proclaimed gods now own all major political factions and continue to concentrate their hold over all the world's wealth.
This accomplished, and fearful of the growing ranks of what Gore Vidal, in a rebuttal to the CIA-coined phrase "conspiracy theorist", called "observers of conspiracies"; their Freemason/Muslim Brotherhood/Cabala operatives are hosting a coming out party for their feudal bosses. The primary tenant of this demonic fiesta is to convince us that we do not have a soul.
The New Zealand mosque attacks were followed by a mysterious fire at the 850-year-old Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris last week. While the mainstream media focused on events in Paris, at the exact same time a fire broke out at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. If you believe this was coincidental, I have some overpriced swampland that may interest you.
On March 30th a California man was arrested after he made assassination threats through the mail to the head of First Baptist Church in Dallas, "in the name of Allah". On April 18th, New Jersey a man was caught carrying arson materials into New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral.
On February 19th, ISIS attacked a Russian Orthodox church in Dagestan, killing five women. In 2015 the group had launched a "Caucasian province" in the region. This coincided with the Illuminati ratcheting up their anti-Russian propaganda, which has as much to do with the upsurge of the Russian Orthodox Church as it does with Putin's Syria line in the sand. While Westerners are being told to hate religion, Russians have become more religious.
In 1973, Prof. Samuel Huntington published a Trilateral Commission paper titled, "The Coming Clash of Civilizations". The Trilateral Commission was founded by David Rockefeller to broadcast the intentions of the feudal lords.
In the 1850's, the founder of Freemasonry in the US Albert Pike — who also founded the Ku Klux Klan and was instrumental in the Native American genocide — wrote a letter to fellow Mason and Mafia founder Guiseppe Mazzini in which he talked of three world wars. The first two came to pass and followed perfectly the description in Pike's letter. The third was to be a religious war, pitting Muslims against Christians.
Both Pike's "prophecy" and Huntington's "thesis" were catapulted forward by 911. A series of Islamist groups from al Qaeda to ISIS to Boko Haram to Al Shabab were trained by the Illuminati's intelligence agencies — MI6, CIA and Mossad — to justify various oligarch resource grabs. It was not the first time Western intelligence had used Islamic extremists to create pretexts which furthered their agenda of global control.
This string of recent attacks on Muslim mosques and Christian churches signals a desire on the part of the feudal bankers to initiate WWIII, which will likely start with conflict between Israel and Iran. But there is a deeper and more disturbing reason for these attacks.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines feudalism as, "the system of political organization prevailing in Europe from the 9th to about the 15th centuries having as its basis the relation of lord to vassal with all land held in fee and as chief characteristics homage, the service of tenants under arms and in court, wardship".
But this system didn't come to a screeching halt in the 15th Century. The Illuminati simply became more sophisticated in their enslavement methodologies. The Black Venetian bloodlines who financed the Roman Empire settled into Northern Italy and the Benelux nations while running their maritime law plantations from the City of London, their banking interests from Switzerland, and their military operations from the United States.
These bloodline families are Satanic. They hate God, despise humanity and natural law, and do not believe living creatures have a soul. With the 5G mind control matrix now being rolled out, these oligarchs must destroy all vestiges of spirituality and religion from the soon to be either culled or enslaved populace. Thus the Crown's British Telecom wing rolling out of the Soul Catcher chip.
These disgusting inbreds know that those who believe in a higher God will be immune from the coming 5G electronic feudalism. As they emerge from the shadows and reveal their fascist agenda, attacks on churches, mosques and synagogues will increase.
They know that if enough people believe in God, their amateur attempts to become gods of this earth will be laid to waste and their power over humanity with crumble in the dust. Rejoice believers, for that day is near.

Edwin, Seton Hall rally to beat Wake Forest
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) -- Fuquan Edwin scored 24 points and Seton Hall rallied from a 13-point deficit in the final 12 minutes to defeat Wake Forest 71-67 on Saturday night.
Brandon Mobley scored on a steal and dunk with 28 seconds left to send the Pirates (7-2) into the lead. When Wake Forest's C.J. Harris missed at the other end, it led to two free throws from Edwin with 7 seconds to play. Mobley's foul shot clinched it 5 seconds later.
Seton Hall hit 63 percent (17 of 27) of its shots in the second half.
Harris, a senior guard, scored a career-best 28 points for the Demon Deacons (4-5), who were aiming to notch consecutive victories for the second time this season. Harris connected on seven 3-point shots.
Seton Hall didn't lead in the second half until the 2:18 mark on Tom Maayan's basket, pushing the Pirates to a 65-63 lead.
Wake Forest cut the margin when Aaron Rountree made 1 of 2 free throws with 1:44 left, then went ahead on Harris' 3-pointer with just under a minute remaining.
Seton Hall's Eugene Teague, who ended up with 19 points, picked up his fourth foul with more than 12 minutes remaining, putting a dent in the Pirates' inside presence. Still, Seton Hall outrebounded Wake Forest 20-8 after halftime.
Wake Forest appeared in good shape at 51-39 after Tyler Cavanaugh drilled a rare 3-pointer.
A full-court press helped turn the tide as the Pirates won for the first time on the road this season. They had lost their two previous true road games.
Wake Forest was charged with five of its 15 second-half turnovers in the last five minutes.
Travis McKie, a junior forward who failed to reach double-digit scoring in Demon Deacons' three previous games, scored 16 points. His basket in transition gave Wake Forest a 14-point edge early in the second half.
Wake Forest held a 36-27 halftime lead after briefly holding an 11-point edge.

Soya has been used for centuries in the Far East. More recently it has also been used by vegetarians and as a food ingredient in the western world. And today, the consumption of soya products is increasing.
The book provides extensive, general and semi-technical information on soya. It discusses soya quality aspects, processing and packaging, as well as the health and nutritional benefits of soya.
The consumption of packaged soya beverages is expected to grow globally at an annual rate of 20 percent. This consumption growth was significantly fuelled by the October 1999 approval by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States, which states that 25 grams of soya protein a day in conjunction with a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. Other factors that contribute to the growth of soya beverages include innovation of new products to meet consumer needs, expansion into new arenas such as convenience stores and coffee houses, taste improvements and low cost of soya protein.
Tetra Pak has more than 40 years of experience in the processing and packaging of soya beverages. The Soya Knowledge Centre was established in 2001 and is working to leverage this experience. This includes product development, technical knowledge, consumer knowledge, and innovative packaging and processing solutions.
The Soya Handbook aims to share and expand the knowledge base of our Soya Knowledge Centre. We hope that the Soya Handbook not only adds value but also serves as an extension to your own knowledge on soya.

We saw this beauty recently in Waverly, Iowa. Wow. My brother used to have an old green Chevy from the 1950s, but it sure didn't look like this!
Is this a monster truck? Or a monster van? Also seen in Waverly.
Hadn't seen an El Camino in years! I wonder how many young 'uns today would have any idea what an El Camino is? We saw this fine example in Mason City, Iowa.
Definitely one of my favorites – a pristine General Lee. Wow. It's hard not to love this car! Spotted in Rochester, Minnesota.
On our way home from our last road trip, we got behind this little gem in traffic in Rochester. It's not every day you see a Lamborghini, especially around here! I wonder how that thing would do in the snow?
And last, but not least -
My all-time favorite. It's hard to beat this for a "noteworthy ride." I believe I snapped this photo in Missouri, heading for Illinois.

WASHINGTON – An Internal Revenue Service official is refusing to testify before a House committee examining his relationship with the CEO of computer services company that has as much as $500 million in contracts with the IRS.
Gregory Roseman said at a committee hearing Wednesday that he was advised by his lawyer to invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination.
The committee is investigating government contracts secured by Strong Castle Inc., including whether a friendship between Roseman and company CEO Braulio Castillo was a factor in the company's ability to secure such large contracts with the IRS.
Castillo told the committee he doesn't know why Roseman invoked his 5th Amendment right. Castillo says his company has done nothing wrong or illegal.

Judge Alison Nathan either never bothered to Watch the YouTube which I referred to 24 times in the original lawsuit and had no interest giving me subpoena power or in reading my attackers false cross complaint, watch the video; is she is as corrupt and political as the dirty corrupt NYPD IAB she and the dirty DA protected? DA admitted 2nd degree assault, she menaced me coming out from behind the closed off reception desk and her complaint false yet no arrest.
Eric Garner was pro se meaning he did his own lawsuit himself without lawyer see it below in his own handwriting and if the court had just gone out of their way just a little to help him said no to update his address maybe he'd be alive today.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Tyrod Taylor is the forgotten quarterback at the Super Bowl.
Everyone knows the starters, of course, Baltimore's Joe Flacco and San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick.
They even know about Alex Smith, who started for the 49ers until he was sidelined with a concussion in November and Kaepernick stepped in.
And Taylor? His resume can be summed up on the top half of an index card: Two years, no starts and 30 passes — 25 of them in the Ravens' meaningless regular-season finale against Cincinnati last month.
That's because Flacco has started every game during the past five seasons and never has missed a down because of injury or ineffectiveness.
Still, Taylor knows he's only one play away from getting into the Super Bowl, and for that reason he's practicing hard this week as Sunday's championship game draws near.
"There are so many situations throughout the league where the next guy is called in, so you can't look at how many straight games Joe has played without being injured," Taylor said. "You never know what can happen at any second of the game. I have to be ready to take over if that happens."
The 49ers are preparing for that situation, too. While Flacco is a traditional pocket passer, Taylor is just as likely to scoot downfield as throw the ball. He ran for 65 yards in that game against the Bengals, and at Virginia Tech he set a school record for rushing yards by a quarterback (2,196).
"Actually, we're working on (stopping) the pistol and option in case he gets in and in case they have him in certain packages," San Francisco defensive tackle Justin Smith said. "We worked on what we do and how to stop him. I think we'll be prepared for him if he gets in."
Taylor smiled when told that San Francisco was taking his skill set into account.
"It definitely adds a little extra to the game," he said. "For them to be prepared shows me it's definitely something they have in the back of their minds. I played against (San Francisco) coach (Jim) Harbaugh my last game at Virginia Tech, so he knows what I'm capable of doing. My job this week is to prepare the defense and also to prepare myself so if I have to go into the game, I'm ready."
That, essentially, is the job description of a backup quarterback — whether he was once a starter or has never been anything but a second-stringer.
"I don't know which situation is better or worse," Alex Smith said. "We're just at different points in a career. What's this, his second year? He's been on a good team, obviously. He's there for a reason. Your job as a backup is to be ready to go. That's no different for him or I. That's our job."
It is a role Taylor takes seriously. He isn't in the Big Easy this week to take a stroll on Bourbon Street or munch on beignets.
"You have to be ready to play," Taylor said. "That's how you have to carry yourself throughout the week as far preparation. You have to be physically prepared and mentally prepared because you never know when the opportunity may come."
For now, Taylor is fine with his role. The former sixth-round draft pick is playing on a winner, earning a decent paycheck and is appreciated by his teammates.
"He's a great quarterback, man," Ravens receiver Torrey Smith said. "I think a lot of people underestimated him coming out of the draft. You think, how did he even fall this far? Obviously, it's tough for him because of Joe, but Tyrod can play. We're both from Virginia, and I've known him since high school. I'm happy he's on our team, because he can definitely do some damage. But he understands how it works. It's a business, and you have to wait your turn."
The 24-year-old Taylor is willing to be patient.
"Of course I want to start, but my job is to continue to stay prepared," he said. "When the opportunity does come or whatever playing time I get, I have to continue to showcase my talent because other eyes are looking. But right now, it's all about whatever it takes to win this game right here, this Super Bowl. So that's my job this week."

Unfortunately, their limited thinking in terms of solutions still can be found squarely inside of the debt-backed money box in which you either assume more debt or live with austerity. Neither is necessary unless you are a central banker who depends on debt to make your living… (ht Kevin)
U.S. debt reaches level at which economic growth begins to slow
By Walter Alarkon
The level of U.S. debt has reached a point at which economic growth traditionally begins to slow, a bipartisan fiscal commission making recommendations to the White House and Congress was told Wednesday.
The gross U.S. debt is approaching a level equivalent to 90 percent of the country's gross domestic product, the level at which growth has historically declined, said Carmen Reinhart, a University of Maryland economist.
When gross debt hits 90 percent of GDP, Reinhart told the commission during a hearing in the Capitol, growth "deteriorates markedly." Median growth rates fall by 1 percent, and average growth rates fall "considerably more," she said.
Reinhart said the commission shouldn't wait to put in place a plan to rein in deficits.
"I have no positive news to give," she said. "Fiscal austerity is something nobody wants, but it is a fact.
Gross debt is at 89 percent and will reach 90 percent by the end of the year, said Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), a member of the commission.
Another commission member, Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), described the situation: "Essentially, the needle is hitting the red zone in respect to economic growth."
Gross debt, unlike the public debt measure used by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and other economic forecasters, includes the money the government owes to all entities it supports, such as mortgage firms Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, Reinhart said. The CBO expects public debt to grow from 63 percent this year to 90 percent in 2020, largely because of rising healthcare costs.
The bipartisan fiscal commission, which was created by President Barack Obama and contains lawmakers from both parties, is tasked with producing a plan to rein in debt by December 1. Leaders in both the House and Senate have said the commission's proposals would receive votes on the floor later that month.
Reinhart cautioned policymakers against seeing the strengthening of the dollar as a sign that investors can wait for the United States to show how it will deal with the debt.
"I am concerned about complacency," she said. "I am concerned that because the dollar has renewed its role as a reserve currency, we may wait too long."
To quote Kevin, "Ya think?"
Until their models incorporate the fact that we don't live in a linear world and that our money is backed by debt, economists, puppet banker underlings, and politicians will continue to misunderstand what's happening and will keep applying inappropriate solutions. Of course that's giving credit for good intent, that's certainly debatable.

Sriracha factory told to partly shut down: What now?
A judge has ordered the Sriracha hot sauce plant in California to partially shutdown, but it's unclear which parts of the factory will have to shut down and what that will mean for next year's supply of the popular condiment.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Robert H. O'Brien ordered Huy Fong Foods, Inc. to stop operations believed to be causing a smell that residents have complained about. The factory only harvests and grinds chilis for three months a year, though, and that process is done for this year, reports the Los Angeles Times.
It's not clear whether other operations, like bottling, could be affected by the judge's order.
Tuesday's order demands the company to both shut down operations that might be causing the smell, and make changes to try to prevent the smell from happening in the future. An extra filtration system was installed in late October, but results of how it's performed aren't yet available.
The city of Irwindale sued the company in October following complaints of heartburn, inflamed asthma and nosebleeds that residents blamed on the spicy odor coming from the hot sauce plant.

Accident Claims Life of RR Donnelley Employee
LANCASTER, PA—An accident involving a forklift is believed to have caused the death of mechanic Terry Lefever at an RR Donnelley plant here April 8, the Lancaster Intelligencer Journal reported.
The accident happened around 6 a.m. at the Harrisburg Pike Road facility. Lancaster County Coroner Dr. Stephen Diamantoni told the newspaper that Lefever, a father of two, was working alone at the time of the accident and was found by a co-worker. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Department of Labor's Occupational Safety & Health Administration is investigating the incident, according to the Intelligencer Journal.
Lefever, who is also survived by his wife, worked 26 years for RR Donnelley as a lift truck mechanic.

Quick! What's the first thing you notice? The lady? Or the knife she's carrying?
According to this manga on mental health, positive people notice the lady, because they like to have fun! Negative people notice the knife. They are so not fun. Boo.
But what if you're simply not interested in ladies? Not everyone is! Or you are not afraid of knives? Likewise, not everyone is—some have fun...with knives. What if you're interested in ladies, but more interested in knives? Or what if you like both the same? What if you don't like real ladies, but like manga ladies? Or vice-versa? What if you don't like anything? Arrrrrgh.

Physicists set 'speed limit' for future superconducting magnet
A research team led by a Northwestern University physicist has identified a high-temperature superconductor -- Bi-2212, a compound containing bismuth -- as a material that might be suitable for the new wires needed to one day build the most powerful superconducting magnet in the world, a 30 Tesla magnet.
The material currently used in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging machines in both hospitals and research laboratories -- a low-temperature superconducting alloy of the metallic element niobium -- has been pushed almost as far as it can go, to around 21 Tesla. (Tesla is used to define the intensity of the magnetic field.) There are no superconducting magnet wires currently available that can generate 30 Tesla.
"A new materials technology -- such as a technology based on high-temperature superconductivity -- is required to make the huge leap from 21 Tesla to 30 Tesla," said William P. Halperin, John Evans Professor of Physics and Astronomy in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences at Northwestern, who led the team. "We have shown that Bi-2212 could be operated at the same temperature as is presently the case for magnets made with niobium -- 4 degrees Kelvin -- and also achieve the stable state necessary for a 30 Tesla magnet."
The findings will be published online Feb. 11 by the journal Nature Physics.
"We are exploring nature's limitations, and our discovery has basic implications for the study of superconductors and for applications to magnetic resonance imaging," said Halperin. "The dream would be to have powerful magnets that don't require helium for cooling. Some day new materials might be discovered where this restriction is lifted, but it isn't possible at the present time."
A superconductor, when cooled to its appropriate temperature, conducts electricity without any resistance. Superconductivity first appears in Bi-2212 at a high temperature of 90 degrees Kelvin, but Halperin and his colleagues found that the stable state required in high-magnetic fields can be established only when the temperature falls below 12 degrees Kelvin. The team is the first to establish this limit for Bi-2212.
"Sometimes what seems to be bad can be good," said Bo Chen, lead author of the paper and a graduate student of Halperin's. "Our findings set a speed limit. If you go beyond this speed you may have trouble. Knowing the upper temperature limit is a kind of security."
"To create a 30 Tesla magnet, we need a superconducting material that can carry the required amount of electricity without blowing up," said Halperin. "We have found that the operating temperature for Bi-2212 must be below 12 degrees Kelvin. The good news is that this temperature can be reached by cooling the magnet with liquid helium. If we had found the upper limit to be 2 degrees Kelvin then the cryogenic requirements would be intractable."
MR imaging is widely used by hospitals for medical diagnosis, and scientists at universities, national laboratories and pharmaceutical companies use even more powerful MR technology to study DNA, proteins and other complex molecules. About a dozen labs around the country take advantage of the highest magnetic field now in use -- 21.1 Tesla, which produces a magnetic field 10 times larger than your average hospital machine. Increasing the field of the magnet even a small amount, from 21.1 to 22.2 Tesla, would increase the cost of the machine by two million dollars.
"A holy grail of the scientific community, as set out recently by the National Research Council, is to build a superconducting magnet of 30 Tesla," said Halperin. "In MR imaging, the higher the magnetic field, the higher the resolution, which provides scientists with more detail for analysis. A 30 Tesla magnet could drive significant advances in chemistry, biology and medicine."
Using MR techniques at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Fla., Halperin and his team studied Bi-2212, one of the "darlings" of superconductivity. To measure its properties, they put the rare isotope oxygen-17 into a crystal of Bi-2212, with the isotope acting as a probe, much like a fluorescent dye. They then determined the phase diagram of the material where superconductivity is stable, which showed high temperature and high magnetic field could not be achieved together.
"Now that we have this information about Bi-2212, the next question is, 'Can such a magnet actually be made?'" said Halperin. "I really don't know -- it depends on engineering and processing the materials to make them into wires. My fellow scientists and engineers will have to solve the materials problems, and they don't like to accept no as an answer."

Camembert (French pronunciation: [ka.mɑ̃.bɛʁ]) is a soft, creamy, surface-ripened cow's milk cheese. It was first made in the late 18th century at Camembert, Normandy in northern France.
The first camembert was made from unpasteurized milk, and the AOC variety "Camembert de Normandie" is required by law to be made only with unpasteurized milk. Many modern cheesemakers, however, use pasteurized milk for reasons of safety, compliance with regulations, or convenience.[1]
18 million unpasteurized milk camembert cheeses are produced every year in Normandy. They are the most appreciated[by whom?] camembert cheeses and also the most expensive. In France numerous cheeses are produced with unpasteurized milk without it raising sanitary problems.[citation needed]
The cheese is made by inoculating warmed milk with mesophilic bacteria, then adding rennet and allowing the mixture to coagulate. The curd is then cut into roughly 1 cm (1/2 inch) cubes, salted, and transferred to low cylindrical camembert molds.[1] The molds are turned every six to twelve hours to allow the whey to drain evenly from the cut curds; after 48 hours, each mold contains a flat, cylindrical, solid cheese mass weighing generally 250 grams (about 9 oz). At this point the fresh cheese is hard, crumbly, and bland.
The surface of each cheese is then sprayed with an aqueous suspension of the mold Penicillium camemberti, and the cheeses are left to ripen for a legally required minimum of three weeks. This affinage produces the distinctive bloomy, edible rind and creamy interior texture characteristic of the cheese.[1] Once the cheeses are sufficiently ripe, they are wrapped in paper and may be placed in wooden boxes for transport.
Camembert was reputedly first made in 1791 by Marie Harel, a farmer from Normandy, following advice from a priest who came from Brie.[2]
However, the origin of the cheese known today as camembert is more likely to rest with the beginnings of the industrialization of the cheesemaking process at the end of the 19th century.[3] In 1890, an engineer, M. Ridel, devised the wooden box which was used to carry the cheese and helped to send it for longer distances, in particular to America, where it became very popular. These boxes are still used today.
Before fungi were understood, the color of camembert rind was a matter of chance, most commonly blue-grey, with brown spots. From the early 20th century onwards, the rind has been more commonly pure white, but it was not until the mid-1970s that pure white became standard.
The cheese was famously issued to French troops during World War I, becoming firmly fixed in French popular culture as a result. It has many other roles in French culture, literature, and history. It is now internationally known, and many local varieties are made around the world.
The variety named "Camembert de Normandie" was granted a protected designation of origin in 1992 after the original AOC in 1983. The AOC Camembert can only be made from raw, unpasteurized milk from "Vaches Normandes" cows. Problems with hygiene regulations have caused restrictions on importation and sale in some countries, notably the US.
Chemical composition
Camembert cheese gets its characteristic odour from many compounds. These include diacetyl (buttery flavoring for popcorn), 3-methylbutanal, methional (degradation product of methionine), 1-octen-3-ol and 1-octen-3-one (degradation products of fats), phenethyl acetate, 2-undecanone, decalactone, butyric acid and isovaleric acid (odour of gym socks).[4]
Overripe camembert contains an unpleasant, excessive amount of ammonia, which is produced by the same microorganisms required for ripening.[5]
Comparison to brie
Brie cheese is a similar soft cheese, also made from cow's milk. However, there are differences such as its origin, typical market shape, size, and flavor. Brie originates from the Île de France while camembert comes from Normandy. Traditionally, brie was produced in large wheels, either 22.9 cm (9 in) or 36.8 cm (14.5 in) in diameter,[6] and thus ripened more slowly than the smaller camembert cheeses. When sold, brie segments typically have been cut from the larger wheels (although some brie is sold as small, flat cylinders), and therefore its sides are not covered by the rind. By contrast, camembert is ripened as a small round cheese 10.2 cm (4 in) in diameter by 3.2 cm (1.26 in) thick and fully covered by rind. This ratio change between rind and paste makes camembert slightly stronger when compared to a brie ripened for the same amount of time. Once the rind is cut on camembert it typically has a more pungent aroma than brie. In terms of taste, camembert has a stronger, slightly sour, and sometimes chalky taste. The texture of camembert is softer than brie, and if warmed camembert will become creamier, whereas brie warms without losing as much structure.
Typically camembert tends to be sold whole in thin, round, wooden containers made from poplar. Modern variations in packaging include cartons and tin cans, with a ring-pull tab for opening (Camembert in metallic boxes do not exist on the French market). The cardboard boxes are reserved for the low-cost camenberts. The product is the same as in the wooden container, wrapped dry in a paper/foil wrapper, and not immersed in brine or oil.
British, Hungarian, Czech and Slovak variants
A similar cheese is produced in Hungary under the same name,[7] the Czech Republic under the name Hermelín and in Slovakia as 'encián' or 'plesnivec'. A Camembert-type cheese is also manufactured in Cornwall, UK, and marketed as "Cornish Camembert".[8]

Single phase permanent capacitor electric motors are suitable for industrial equipment and domestic applications with a single phase 220/240V supply. Permanent capacitor single phase motors should not be used in hard to start applications such as woodworking machinery, air compressors, etc instead capacitor start / capacitor run motors would be correct choice for applications that require high starting torque. Permanent capacitor motors are ideal for fans and blowers with low starting torque needs, and intermittent cycling uses such as adjusting mechanisms, gate operators and garage door openers, many of which also need instant reversing. All of these motors are able to switch between clockwise and counter-clockwise operation instantly and speed is variable. There are several possibilities for mounting these motors to your equipment making this the ideal choice when assembling an adjustment mechanism. All our single phase permanent capacitor motors have a light weight aluminium frame and have an IP55 protection rating giving dust protection and protection from low pressure jets of water meaning the operating conditions can be preserved inside the unit in most working environments. These single phase permanent capacitor electric motors also have an IE1 (Eff2) standard efficiency rating. B3 motors are foot mounted. These feet are "multi mount" meaning the feet can be repositioned on the motor for applications where positioning of the terminal box is critical.

Yesterday's results
We had a big-time streak breaker yesterday with Albert Pujols' hitless game against the Mets. A hefty 19 percent of BTS users went with Prince Albert, only to find themselves back at square one following his not-so-regal 0-for-5 performance.
With so many fans forced to start from scratch over the weekend, we're down to 178 fans tied for the top spot, at 15 games. That's still a pretty hearty number, but we're sure to see more seemingly safe picks come up empty in the coming days.
Congrats to those who've made it this far without getting nailed by the 0-for whammy.
Yesterday's Top 5 most selected players
1. Albert Pujols (STL): 19.0%, 0-for-5
2. Ryan Braun (MIL): 7.6%, 1-for-5
3. Matt Holliday (STL): 5.7%, 3-for-3
4. Derek Jeter (NYY): 5.6%, 0-for-0

I won't be researching picks for awhile since I'm at 0. I have Pedroia for today. Ichiro won't get a hit.
Why quitting the research?
Pujols was not a safe pick yesterday.
I have no idea what 19% of users were thinking.
Mourning guys.
I'm going with Ichiro tonight and its more based on numbers and the pitcher than it is the batter.
That being said Ichi numbers are nothing to scoff at…
Batting .365 career vs Bal, batting .329 vs Righties,
Batting .334 at home and .331 in night games. and he's 4-11 vs Berg
Bergeson has given up 15 hits in 7.2 innings of work this season. ( 1.9 hits/ inning)
Taking my chances with perfect on line, I'm confident with my pick.
Guys, you have to stay away from the big guns like Pujols. They are way too streaky and go for games on end without even a legit at-bat.
I'm currently at 13 games and here's my strategy:
I look for when really good teams play really bad ones and pick from that group. Once in a while i'll use my rotation of Utley, Mauer, Ichiro, Ethier, Kemp and Jeter.
Seems to work for me
Well thanks for nothing Dustin. 🙂
Did I miss the memo on picking Ichiro for today?? If he doesn't hit A LOT of players are in for a world of hurt, especially the leaders.
Good luck all!!
two people, at 15, are showing to not make pics.
Seems the majority of people today did in fact pick Ichiro
43% of the 178 leaders have picked Suzuki compared to 17% of the whole. Interesting……
DLee lets me down yesterday (as do the Cubs as an organization…..lol). Streak halted at 8, back to square 1.
Pedroia has already broken some leaders' hearts this morning.
Everyone who rolled with Podsednik is SOL for the day. He's tending to a family emergency and won't make it back to Toronto until tomorrow. Look at the bright side, though. You could've taken Pedroia.
email@example.com– Congrats on your streak. 🙂
I picked Pena and thank god he got a hit. His hit starts my streak again. Utley took me out yesterday.
The Rays are hitting very well lately.
I started out the season 5-0. I am not finding that it's been tough to restart my streak over.
Good luck to everyone who are waiting for the night games.
Whoops, I meant that it's been tough to restart my streak.
I hope the rising sun shines on "The Man From Japan" Ichirio today.
Tip of the Day – If you aren't doing this start to do it for good information.
On the red bar that runs across the top of the home page, click in the word Schedule. When you get to the next screen you will see the games for today and pitcher names in Blue. Put your cursor over the name of the pitcher you want to view and a bubble appears with information about how that pitcher has done recently. The info is very good to read unlike "The Pick of the Day."
I try not to pick players who had an 0-fer the day before. Figuring that that game may have been the beginning of a slump.
Today Pedrioa had an 0-fer today that followed his O-fer on Sunday. Many people today took Pedroia and Ordonez who both had 0-fers on Sunday.
I'm a Cub fan and would encourage you to stay away from them for now. Their hitting is inconsistent.
I'm atop the leaderboard and I have a strategy that's seems to be a good one. I don't look at the picks of the day, or any other suggested players, I do my own research. Ichiro is money in the bank tonight. Normally I don't like taking home teams, for the fact that they may only get 8 innings to hit, but I couldn't pass on him. I guarentee a hit tonight and tomorrow, after that it's time to dig deep.
Agreed, Let the Sun shine.
Thats a neat little bit of info, way more informative than just looking at the pick o the day info. Thank you, one more page to do research with.
I thought I'd try to post, daily, the top 12 pick percentages for the Top 2500 (100 pages of BTS leaders). Though I missed the first game this AM, the following are the 12 most picked for the remainder of the day. Sometimes interesting when compared to what the BTS Results page shows; though that page is for the entire BTS, not just the Top 2500. Only counts the current streak holders.
Player, Times Picked, Percentage of 2500
Ichiro Suzuki, 860, 34.4%
Frankliin Gutierrez, 221, 8.84%
Albert Pujols, 214, 8.56%
David DeJesus, 121, 4.84%
Magglio Ordonez, 97, 3.88%
Scott Podsednik, 96, 3.84%
Carlos Gonzalez, 65, 2.6%
Matt Holliday, 50, 2.0%
Todd Helton, 45, 1.8%
Pablo Sandoval, 36, 1.44%
Miguel Cabrera, 35, 1.4%
Jacoby Ellsbury, 34, 1.36%
^^ Hmmm, the preview of what I typed didn't look like that. Will do it a bit different tomorrow.
Oops & yes, Boston (Ellsbury) already played, here's the 12th most picked:
Connor Jackson, 31, 1.24%
Got some time, so trying to do this again for formatting. Trying copy & pasting now; and I see I skipped Torri in first attempt:
Player, Times Picked, Percentage of Top 2500
Ichiro Suzuki 860 34.4%
Franklin Gutierrez 221 8.84%
Albert Pujols 214 8.56%
David DeJesus 121 4.84%
Magglio Ordonez 97 3.88%
Scott Podsednik 96 3.84%
Carlos Gonzalez 65 2.6%
Matt Holliday 50 2.0%
Todd Helton 45 1.8%
Torii Hunter 41 1.64%
Pablo Sandoval 36 1.44%
Miguel Cabrera 35 1.4%
I can't believe 4 of the top 5 picked Crawford against Lackey today…. That in my opinion took guts… but again I'm not at the top of the leader board….. I'm a bit scared about Ichiro tonight… going with Gutierrez… LOL everyone
"Once in a while i'll use my rotation of Utley, Mauer, Ichiro, Ethier, Kemp and Jeter.
Seems to work for me"
The only problem with Ethier is he does not seem to start all the time.
Every time I look at him for a lefty hitter on the Dodgers, I see him having significantly fewer AB's than Furcal and Kemp.
"I try not to pick players who had an 0-fer the day before. Figuring that that game may have been the beginning of a slump.
Today Pedrioa had an 0-fer today that followed his O-fer on Sunday. Many people today took Pedroia and Ordonez who both had 0-fers on Sunday."
That is funny because I tend to favor those hitters if they were hot right before hand.
I just view the 0 for as a "correction factor" against an insanely high batting average.
Cue Edgar Renteria last weekend hitting .68X going into the game and then going 0 for 5, despite the Giants scoring 8 runs.
Back-to-back 0 for's normally signal a slump, unless you are Ichiro or if the team is facing some really good pitching.
That is why I would not necessarily dismiss Pedroia yet, since the Red Sox pretty much were totally shut down this weekend by the Rays.
If he goes 0 for against the new team though, I would take him out of the hot category though.
I do think Magglio Ordonez is cooling off though.
If I did my calculations correctly, 171 players dropped from the top 2500 either due to unlucky picks or "no selection". Don't know which because I failed to pull down the current selections before the 1st game was updated in BTS. Couple more days like yesterday and a streak of 5 or 6 will get you on the final few pages!
"I'm atop the leaderboard and I have a strategy that's seems to be a good one. I don't look at the picks of the day, or any other suggested players, I do my own research.

I guarentee a hit tonight and tomorrow, after that it's time to dig deep."
One thing to try and do there is to just take 3 hitters lower in the order for road teams to compensate.
So a guy hitting 5th on the road has nearly as many opportunities as a guy hitting 2nd at home.
"Jacoby Ellsbury, 34, 1.36%"
He is back in the lineup?
I thought he was still out with the groin injury?
"^^ Hmmm, the preview of what I typed didn't look like that. Will do it a bit different tomorrow."
Yeah, MLB has some asinine formatting for the posts. Apparently, 2 empty lines only equals 1 empty line in the post.
And then on the MLB articles, all spacing is ignored, making the comments very difficult to read and follow.
Their technology there is from like 1995.

Na, that will not happen until it is impossible to get to 57.
There is a steady stream of new players to fill in those snapped streaks every day.
Regading Ellsbury; not officially on DL yet so ppl can still pick him and obviously some did. That brings up a thought….
Some unlucky ways to have your streak end.
1. Rain shortened game, 2 at bats only
2. Strikeout, argue with ump, get thrown out in 1st inning.
3. Four at-bats, 3 walks and then strikeout or sac fly
4. Pinch hit in 9th against a great closer
5. Groundout in 1st, come up lame trying to leg it out
lavilperb – Answers to your questions:
1. Check out the weather report before making your selection each day.
2. This happened last year to Joey Votto and someone lost a 30+ streak.
3. How do you spell P U J O L S
4. Day game after a night game = Todd Helton
5. Manny Ramirez, Alphonso Soriano or as if anyone would be crazy enough to take him, Milton Bradley.
As you play longer you have a vast knowledge of "factiods" saved up in your brain – very scary!
Tuesday – Take a look ar Rafael Furcal of LAD, 4-7 lifetime v. Reds Homer Baily, bats leadoff, LAD have a big lineup which could mean 5 at bats, switch hitter, batting .327, free swinger.
hey for those of you who arent in the group and are posting here, come join us. under groups. look for "the bloggers" and if that doesnt come up, look up "bloggers" and join the rest of us who post and blog here
domo arigato – Ichirio
Vinny – Furcal, Jeter?(is he over his cold?), Ichirio, Dan Uggla, Hanley Ramirez, Franklin Gutierrez – I'm going to sleep on this one. My head is spinning here.
Joe Mauer looks good on paper but he is on my do not pick list as are Pujols and Votto.
btle – Who do you like?
Well Carlos Gonzalez ended 65 streaks tonight already. 0-4 day.
Lind, Hawpe, D.Lee Francoeur & Theriot totals another 104 that end today. Ichiro, F.Guitierrez and Sir Albert will be the biggies today; one way or the other.
Regarding Votto's ejection last year, I too remember that and thought to myself — that bites, glad I didn't pick him.
Well, now its up to Sir Albert & Guitierrez. Glad I picked Ichiro today; ******** streak of 5 — gotta start somehow.
Well Ichiro already got a double so you are all safe that picked Ichiro.
I'm going to start listening now. I have Mauer tomorrow and like my odds but what does Dragbunt think?
options for tomorrow include. hanley ramirez 10-for-28 .357 against brett myers. dan uggla 14-for-37 .378 avg also against myers. matt holliday 5-for-11 .455 against Haren. votto is the same 5-for-11 .455 against billingsley. garrett atkins is 5-for-7 .714 against jason vargas. chipper 6-for-13 .462 against Kendrick, but batting only .233 for the year.
there are some ideas. and as always there is Ichiro
Tuesday's games dont lock till 7PM Eastern. so that gives ya alot of time to second guess your picks.
Backrubs – Second guessing is a dangerous thing to do.
Word to the wise: I will usually put in a name the night before as a place holder until the next day. But today(Monday) I picked last night because of the 11am game. You never know what could happen to your computer or the MLB site. Remember tests in school Choose: A, B, C or D? In school your first choice was usually your best choice, same in BTS too.
Hasta Manana to all
I got my streak back up to 1 thanks to Cabrera and I agree with you about your first choice. It's always right no matter how bad you feel about it Dragbunt. Have a good night Drag and see you tomorrow.
Well, after yesterday's 1133 of the Top 2500 that were reset, today was relatively quiet. Just 432 were reset, with one extra inning game left to play tonight. In that game 42 Top 2500 positions remain in jeopardy:
Adrian Gonzalez 29 picks
Bengie Molina 10 picks
Chase Headley 2 picks
Eugenio Velez 1 pick
Hey backrubs,
Thanks for the invitation. I joined the group. How come I am at zero although my streak is at 6?
gamara when you join a group your current/longest streaks start at zero. Sucks but that's how mlb does it.
Dragbunt, I just saw your post about Jeter and Jeter is playing tonight. He is feeling better and he had a head cold. I'm sticking with Mauer but why he is on your do not pick list Drag? That is interesting.
"domo arigato – Ichirio
Vinny – Furcal, Jeter?(is he over his cold?), Ichirio, Dan Uggla, Hanley Ramirez, Franklin Gutierrez – I'm going to sleep on this one. My head is spinning here.
Joe Mauer looks good on paper but he is on my do not pick list as are Pujols and Votto.
btle – Who do you like?"
I think he means that list contained his possible picks for the day.
Just an observation, as of this morning, 5 May 2010, the most regular season games played by any team is 28…how is it possible that two individuals have a streak of 31 and one person has a streak of 30? Did "Beat The Streak" include spring training games? just curious…

U.S. Consumer Confidence Soared in Q3 to a 10-Year High
Confidence in Europe continued an upward trajectory
Spending intentions increased, but recessionary mindset lingered
New York – Nov. 3, 2015 – Among the world's largest economies, U.S. consumer confidence jumped 18 index points in the third quarter to a score of 119, the biggest quarterly increase and the highest index for the country in Nielsen's 10-year consumer confidence history, according to the Nielsen Global Survey of Consumer Confidence and Spending Intentions. Confidence in Europe continued on an upward trajectory for the third consecutive quarter, as 21 of 32 countries posted index increases, resulting in a regional score of 81—the highest level since 2008. The Nielsen consumer confidence index measures perceptions of local job prospects, personal finances and immediate spending intentions, among more than 30,000 respondents with Internet access in 61* countries.
"Globally, this continues to be a period of economic uncertainty and thus mixed confidence trends," said Louise Keely, senior vice president, Nielsen, and president, The Demand Institute. "Despite some mixed economic signals from the U.S., consumer confidence has strengthened and consumer spending is driving the economy. In Europe, confidence is more mixed due to variation in country-specific economic conditions; stronger confidence in Italy, Spain, and the UK reflects improving job markets, while Russia's confidence has plummeted in the wake of an economic downturn. Latin American confidence also is mixed, but Brazil's continued confidence decline looms large as Brazil is the largest economy in the region."
Globally, consumer confidence increased three index points in the third quarter to reach a score of 99, the highest level since 2006, but uneven growth continues around the world as confidence stabilizes and grows in many advanced economies and declines in many emerging markets. Confidence in the Asia-Pacific region declined one index point to a score of 106, and it fell two points in Latin America (81)—the lowest score on record for the region. Consumer confidence held steady in the Middle East/Africa region with a score of 94.
Globally, immediate spending intentions have been slowly increasing, rising from a low of 30% in 2008 during the Great Recession to a high of 43% in the third quarter of 2015. North Americans showed the biggest surge in plans to open their wallets with a 14-percentage point quarterly increase to 58%. Most other regions followed, with spending sentiment increasing two percentage points in both the Middle East/Africa (38%) and Europe (34%) and one percentage point in Latin America (33%). Spending intentions were flat in Asia-Pacific (47%).
Global discretionary purchase intentions high on the priority shopping list included spending on new clothes, holidays/vacations, out-of-home entertainment, new technology products and home improvement projects. More than half of global respondents (52%) planned to save their spare cash, an increase from 48% in the second quarter.
Despite a rise in spending confidence, however, half of global respondents (56%) still felt mired in recession in the third quarter, up from 54% in the second quarter. In fact, recessionary sentiment increased in 31 of 60 countries from the second quarter.
"Many consumers, across mature and emerging markets, have the mindset to spend across a range of consumer categories," said Keely. "Still, a majority of consumers continue to believe their economies are in recession, even though most no longer are. Sharp adjustments in recessionary sentiment usually reflect actual changes in a country's economic prospects, and indicate that consumers will be either pulling back on or more inclined toward spending."
Recessionary sentiment levels were highest in Venezuela (98%), Ukraine (96%) and Brazil (92%) and grew the most quarter-on-quarter in Canada (up 25 percentage points to 71%), Latvia (up 21pp to 70%), Hong Kong (up 17pp to 56%), Malaysia (up 16pp to 89%) and Russia (up 14pp to 79%). Conversely, recessionary sentiment improved 10 percentage points in both the Czech Republic (33%) and Poland (54%) and nine percentage points in Ireland (62%).
India's score of 131 was the highest level among 61 markets, followed by the U.S. (119), the Philippines (117) and Indonesia (116). The U.S. showed the biggest quarterly improvement of 18 points, and Taiwan showed the biggest quarterly decline of 12 points from the second quarter. South Korea reported the lowest score of 49, an increase of four points from the second quarter.
In the U.S., discretionary spending intentions posted record highs in the third quarter, as plans to buy new clothes (37%) increased 14 percentage points, spending on holidays/vacations (37%) increased 19 percentage points and plans to spend on new technology (31%) and home improvement projects (31%) increased 18 percentage points and 16 percentage points, respectively, from the second quarter. Those that said they had no spare cash declined 14 percentage points to the lowest level for the country (13%) since 2005.
In Europe, confidence increased most in Poland (80) and Portugal (66), rising 10 and nine index points, respectively, from the second quarter. Confidence in Germany, the region's largest economy, increased three index points to 100. In the U.K., confidence increased for the seventh consecutive quarter, rising four points in the third quarter to a score of 103—the highest score for the country since 2005, the first year of the survey, and its first above-the-baseline score since 2006. Italy's score of 57 increased four points from the second quarter and France held steady with a score of 66. Meanwhile, confidence in all Nordic countries in the survey declined in the third quarter: Finland decreased four points to 62, Denmark decreased three points to 109, and Norway (87) and Sweden (87) decreased one point each from the second quarter.
In Asia-Pacific, consumer confidence declined in eight of 14 countries in the region. Australia and South Korea each showed the biggest quarterly confidence increases in the region of four points, rising to a score of 93 and 49, respectively. Conversely, confidence declined 12 points in Taiwan (72), 11 points in Malaysia (78) and six points in Hong Kong (99), the biggest declines reported globally. Confidence also decreased one point in China (106), three points in Japan (80) and was flat in India (131) from the second quarter. Recessionary sentiment increased by double-digit percentages in Hong Kong (+17pp), Malaysia (+16pp), Taiwan (+15pp) and Indonesia (+10pp), and levels were among the highest in South Korea (89%), Malaysia (89%) and Taiwan (88%).
In Latin America, consumer confidence declined in five of seven markets measured in the third quarter, with Chile (79) reporting the steepest drop of five index points from the second quarter, followed by Argentina (78) and Colombia (90) with declines of three points each and Venezuela (60) with a decline of two points. The region's largest economy, Brazil, declined two points to 79, the fourth consecutive quarter of declining sentiment and the lowest score on record for the country (i.e., since 2005). Conversely, confidence increased two points in Mexico (86) and was flat in Peru (95).
In the Middle East/Africa, Morocco marked its first introduction to the Nielsen's consumer confidence survey in the third quarter with a score of 85. Consumer confidence increased four points in Saudi Arabia (109) and five points in Egypt (90) in the second quarter. At 107, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) had the second-highest index in the region, but it decreased one point from the second quarter—the second consecutive quarter of declines and the lowest score for the country since 2013. Confidence declined five points in South Africa to 82 and one point in Pakistan to 101.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, consumer confidence increased five index points in Kenya (117) and five points in Ghana (99) in the third quarter. Conversely, confidence decreased five points in Nigeria (127), the second consecutive quarter of declines. The majority of respondents in the three countries said they did not have spare cash (68% in Ghana, 63% in Kenya and 60% in Nigeria), levels that decreased in Ghana and Kenya but increased in Nigeria from the second quarter. Among those who did claim discretionary funds, saving continued to be a priority for the majority: 77% in Ghana, 87% in Kenya and 80% in Nigeria plan to put money into savings accounts. Discretionary spending intentions for home improvement projects were the second-biggest priority among respondents in all three countries.
*Morocco was added to the Global Survey in the third-quarter of 2015, and the country's index is reflected in the Middle East/Africa regional average.

The Nielsen Global Survey of Consumer Confidence and Spending Intentions was conducted Aug. 10 – Sept. 4, 2015, and polled more than 30,000 online consumers in 60 countries throughout Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East/Africa and North America. The sample includes Internet users who agreed to participate in this survey and has quotas based on age and sex for each country. It is weighted to be representative of Internet consumers by country. Because the sample is based on those who agreed to participate, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated. However, a probability sample of equivalent size would have a margin of error of ±0.6% at the global level. This Nielsen survey is based only on the behavior of respondents with online access. Internet penetration rates vary by country. Nielsen uses a minimum reporting standard of 60% Internet penetration or an online population of 10 million for survey inclusion. The China Consumer Confidence Index is compiled from a separate mixed methodology survey among 3,500 respondents in China. The sub-Saharan African countries in this study are compiled from a separate mobile methodology survey among 1,600 respondents in Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria.

UConn: Huskies confident bench will step up in place of Napier
PITTSBURGH >> Shabazz Napier experienced some discomfort during practice on Friday evening, and it will be a game time decision on whether he plays today against Pittsburgh.
If Napier is unable to go, UConn will have to have other players step up replacing the team's top scorer in today's noon bout with the Panthers at the Petersen Events Center (espn2).
"We have a motto around here: 'Next man up,'" UConn head coach Kevin Ollie said on Thursday. "If he's not feeling well or he's not able to play to the level we think he needs to play at, then R.J. (Evans) has got to play a bigger role, Brendan (Allen) has got to be ready to come off (the bench). We'll find a way, like we've been doing the whole season."
Napier, UConn's top scorer at 17.1 points per game, injured his left shoulder after being fouled within the early minutes of the Huskies' 73-58 loss to Louisville Monday night in Hartford. He sat out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday, getting treatment from trainer James Doran, and said Thursday afternoon that he was feeling better and had good range of motion, but was still experiencing pain.
UConn was originally slated to practice in Storrs on Friday morning and fly to Pittsburgh. But in a move to get Napier a little more rest, coach Kevin Ollie moved practice to Friday evening at The Pete.
Napier went through all of Friday's practice, which didn't include much contact, according to UConn spokesman Phil Chardis. He did feel some discomfort in his left shoulder and was somewhat limited. Napier was due to receive more treatment from Doran Friday night and Saturday morning to see how his shoulder responded.
"We'll see if he's playing or not," Omar Calhoun said on Thursday. "We feel like as a group, we all stay together. Next man up, that's what Coach Ollie always says."
After a terribly disappointing season a year ago, Pitt got off to a good start this season. But the Panthers have lost three of their last five games. They're coming off a 58-43 win at Villanova in which the Panthers scored the game's final 15 points.
On Thursday morning - before he knew the extent of Napier's injury - Pitt coach Jamie Dixon praised the Huskies' guards.
"Obviously, their guards are the key," he said. "Boatright and Napier have got to be as quick a guard (duo) as there is in the country. They're dangerous in transition. First and foremost, you have to contain them, make them play in their halfcourt offense - as with most teams in our league - but with this team, especially, because of what those guys are able to do."
Ollie had similar things to say about the Panthers.
"Nothing different with Coach Dixon's team," he said on Thursday. "They're going to play tough, play gritty. We've got to keep them out of transition, keep them in a halfcourt game, and hopefully, our defense steps up to the plate and is better than in the second half of the Louisville game."

By applying fresh eyes to landmark historical cases and benchmark popular culture moments in the history of passing Dawkins also rethinks the representational character and civic purpose of multiracial identities. In the process she provides powerful insights called "passwords" that help readers tackle the tough questions of who we are and how we can relate to one another and the world.

Here's my problem. When pictures are in posts, only the admin can see them. I've tried to view on Firefox, Safari and IE to avail. The gallery is visible to everyone, just not pictures, or smilies, in post. I'm suspecting some sort of permissions issue and for the life of me I can't figure out what it is. I've tried all the fixes in all the posts I've found here. Here is the link to my board.
Any help would be appreciated!

Donald Trump's campaign prepared both a concession speech and a victory speech for Election Night, sources told NBC News.
More time was spent on a concession speech, as the campaign's own data showed only a narrow path to the 270 electorates needed to win the White House.
His campaign felt pressure to acknowledge the outcome of potential defeatafter Trump's repeated comments about a "rigged" system and concern over whether he would accept the results of the election. But as results poured in and a victory seemed likely, the victory speech was revised in real time.

Trump's running mate Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and writer and policy adviser Steve Miller worked with him to write the speech.
