LISTEN up muggles because we have some very exciting news for you.
Ever wanted to get a taste of the Harry Potter wizarding world but didn't think it were possible? Well, we've found just the perfect thing…
Okay so it may not be a flying lesson with Madame Hooch or a trip to Hogsmeade but we think a Harry Potter-inspired afternoon tea is a pretty sweet runner-up.
Merging our two favourite things together (Harry Potter and cake, obviously), the Assembly House in Norwich has put together a pretty spellbinding spread.
From butterbeer flavoured milkshakes to Sorting Hat-inspired chocolate cupcakes, we're not exaggerating when we say we need to try everything on the menu. Did we mention the lightning macrons already?
What's more, the magical spread is available from 28 November until 2 January 2019 and costs £40 for two adults. Talk about an enchanted treat.
Alternatively, it costs just £12.95 to treat the Harry Potter-obsessed child in the life to an afternoon treat.
And if you're not mad about on spellbinding sweets, there are also a range of equally Harry Potter-inspired savoury treats to chose from, including their cheese Philosopher's Scone. Lol.
Although personally, we can't wait to dig into the chocolate and vanilla broomsticks or Dudley's Knickerbocker Glory with exploding lemonade.
Sign us up.
In even more Harry Potter news, Primark has launched Harry Potter jewellery declaring your house allegiance – and with prices starting at just £3, we want it all.
Plus B&M is selling Harry Potter stationery and it looks totally magical.
And Primark has just launched a new Harry Potter collection of stationery, cushion and candles with prices starting at just £1.50.

Super Mario Odyssey: Is There Co-op?
Is There Co-op in Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Odyssey is finally out in the wild, and players will be able to once again take Mario on adventure. This time, he'll be venturing out of the Mushroom Kingdom and will be able to visit other kingdoms each with their own unique style and personality. Since there are two pretty important characters in Super Mario Odyssey, fans might be wondering of co-op will be an option in SMO. Maybe to surprise of some, yes, co-op is indeed possible in SMO!
Super Mario Odyssey's new character, Cappy, is a magical hat that will ride along on Mario's head throughout his adventure. Cappy has the ability to possess lots of objects in the SMO universe and which in turn, gives Mario the ability to temporarily turn into those objects to solve various puzzles. Things ranging from traffic cones to a giant T-Rex are all in play here.
Co-op in Super Mario Odyssey works like this: One player of course controls Mario, while the other controls Cappy. When in control from another player, Cappy will float above Mario's head and is free to explore on its own and can collect coins and other useful things. This is done by splitting up the joy cons, having each player use one.
That does it for co-op in SMO. For more on Super Mario Odyssey, be sure to check out our wiki guide for more tips, tricks, and walkthroughs.

Star of the week: the Ministry of Health and Social Services
Star of the week goes to the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) that started with the roll-out of a more effective HIV drug that has fewer side effects as of Tuesday. The drug also has high genetic barriers to developing resistance. The drug is called Tenofovir/ Lamivudine/ Dolutegravir (TLD).
The U.S. government, through funding from the United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and support from the U.S. Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is supporting the MoHSS with the transition to TLD.
Health Ministry Executive Director Ben Nangombe and U.S. Ambassador Lisa Johnson launched the roll-out of the medication at Nathaniel Maxwilili Clinic in Babylon informal settlement on Tuesday. This comes after the ministry announced last month that as from October, they will introduce this most advanced HIV drug.
Namibia has over 200 000 people living with HIV. The country has gone beyond achieving HIV fast-track targets of the UNAIDS by ensuring that more than 90 % of people living with HIV know their status, are on treatment and viral load is suppressed.
"Today is a historic day because we are starting the transition to a new regimen in the treatment of HIV/AIDS," said Nangombe.

The brightest stars of the 1950s live on in this wonderful, black-and-white gallery of publicity shots. Includes 114 major stars in their Hollywood heyday: Marlon Brando, James Dean, Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Kirk Douglas, William Holden, and dozens more. Also includes stills for A Streetcar Named Desire, The Misfits, and many more.
Film Star Portraits Of The Eighties provides the basis for hours of reminiscing with the film buff in your life. These memorable photographs of iconic stars of the silver screen will inspire hours of conversation. Rent some of their movies: an old movie who's plot is known and remembered (and more often simple) is better than a new movie who's plot can be convoluted and confusing.
Film Star Portraits Of The Eighties
Reminiscence Therapy
Reminiscing and reminiscence therapy involve reaching the memories that reside in these still viable regions of the brain. There are many ways to encourage these memories, and you should. They can be comforting, even therapeutic. A study published in the June 2007 issue of Geriatrics and Gerontology International concluded that a reminiscence group program was an effective way to enhance the cognitive capacity of people with Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia as well as their ability to participate in normal activities of daily living. A summary of existing data, including studies published in professional journals, and interviews with specialists, concluded that the general mood and cognition improved in subjects with dementia who participated in some form of reminiscence therapy.
The activity should be enjoyable and nonthreatening. Never try to force the conversation, but you may have to lead it by making suggestions, like, "Do you remember what you were doing when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon?" Read more» about reminiscing and reminiscence therapy at our website.
Film Star Portraits Of The Eighties is a wonderful gift for anyone who appreciates movies and stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood

Wolf Wing(2002)
(The fourth book in the Claidi Journals series)
A novel by Tanith Lee
Free at last, Claidi and Argul are married in a brilliant ceremony, and look forward to their life together. But, nagged by her past, Claidi decides they must return to her birthplace, the House, and rescue her fellow slaves. On arrival they discover that a revolution has taken place, sparked by Claidi's escape. A benign regime is now in charge, headed by the valiant Dengwi. However, during a grand dinner, Dengwi - to her own astonishment - is revealed to be the daughter of a former prince. She departs with Claidi and Argul, summoned by Ironel Novendot of the Wolf Tower. Once with Ironel, the trio are joined by Winter Raven, Venn and Ngarbo. Then Ironel breaks her news: Ustareth, mother of Argul and Venn is alive, and has invited the young people to her new land, Summer. The party, unable to refuse, knows that at the end of their journey waits a woman, the science-sorceress, who has perhaps manipulated each of them since the day they were born... Not only Claidi is asking - what is the answer to the riddle of Ustareth?

Its private sector customer base has also grown to over eighty customers which include Hitachi, Sony, Peter's Savoury Products, Allied Steel and Wire and Epitaxial Products International.

Do you know who your competitors are? Can you distinguish between direct and indirect competition? How long have they been in business? Is their product line more diverse or simpler than yours? Are they using social media or other online promotional activity? Who is doing the butt-kicking in target markets, you or them?
We put high emphasis on research here at the BRIC and have a number of resources to help. Yet, some of the best research you can do before you decide to open a business or expand an existing one, is to do thorough competitive analysis. We have seen "back of the envelope" analysis as well as novels with charts, graphs and pictures taken on the sly. Yes, all is fair as long as you are not breaking the law. We do believe that knowledge is power and the more you know about your industry, your target markets and your competition, the better your business will perform.
Here are 10 things that you can learn from your competitors:
- Your competitors will collaborate with others – It's all about leveraging relationships and the skill sets of others.
- Talent takes precedence over experience – You need people to accomplish goals and talent will help irrespective of the number of years someone brings to the task.
- Their websites can show you features you'd love to have – Look at the style, content and user experience of your competitor's websites to find ways to improve your conversion rates.
- Learn what customers say – Find competitor's reviews on the internet to see what customers like and don't like.
- How to innovate – Stiff competition forces you to be competitive. Watch how often your competitors develop new products or services to beat you to the punch.
- The value of women in business – Without overgeneralizing, more women are starting businesses, taking risks and succeeding in small business than men these days. Look at how your competitors are leveraging a different perspective on both customers and employees to maximize their success.
- Green means green – There are many benefits to having a sustainable operation, the least is minimizing the waste that your business generates. Waste means lost use of resources. Your competitors' supply chain may tell a story that gives them an advantage.
- Social media is everywhere – Your competition may be better at interacting through social media. Watch their pages and accounts to see what works for them and how they handle difficult customer service situations.
- Why do they do what they do – You should be answering this question for yourself, but try to figure out what motivates them through looking at their messaging, their attitudes toward customers and their image in the community. Here you may find a weakness to exploit.
- "Cowards die many times before their actual deaths" – These famous words by Julius Caesar will cause you to look at yourself and your business a little differently. Are your competitors risk-takers, bold and successful? If so, being risk adverse does not serve you.
When it comes to your competition, you can either take a lassie-faire attitude or you can go the Julius Caesar way – "I came, I saw, I conquered" or somewhere in-between. And here's the kicker: you are never done with competitive analysis because things always change.
If you are looking for help with understanding how your competitive analysis fits in your marketing plan and business plan, come on down to the BRIC or we can meet at your place of business or get a cup of coffee. Or you can give us a call at 775-283-7122 or email us or we can take a walk with the weather getting a little nicer.

Peppermint essential oil, one of the most versatile essential oils, is extracted from the leaves of the peppermint herb or Mentha piperita. The antiseptic, astringent, carminative, digestive, and analgesic properties of peppermint oil make it beneficial for countless health issues. Read on to find out how to use peppermint oil for skin, hair, home, and general health.
One of the best ways to gain therapeutic benefits of peppermint oil is by using peppermint oil in a diffuser. Pour a few drops of peppermint oil into the diffuser or vaporizer and spread the minty fragrance around your house or your office.
Prepare a cool or warm water bath and add 3-5 drops of peppermint essential oil to it. Soak for few minutes to relax while inhaling the sweet minty smell of the oil. Use this method to get relief from itchiness. Use Epsom salt along with peppermint oil to get relief from muscle and joint pain.
One way of taking peppermint oil internally is by drinking a cup of mint tea. To make peppermint tea, add 1-2 drops of peppermint essential oil to a glass of distilled water. Peppermint tea helps to improve exercise performance and digestion.
Pour a few drops of peppermint essential oil into a glass spray bottle and fill up the remaining part of the bottle with distilled water. Shake the bottle well before each use.
Spray the solution around your room to make it smell amazing with the fresh peppermint scent. You can also add a few drops of orange essential oil to the room spray blend.
You may inhale peppermint oil directly from the bottle while keeping it away from your inner nose, or mix it with other essential oils and then breathe in the combined aroma deeply.
For instance, mix peppermint, lavender, and ginger essential oils and inhale 1-2 drops of this blend in a car or other vehicle to reduce motion sickness.
Another method of inhalation of peppermint oil is by putting a drop of it onto the palm and cupping hands to the nose. Follow this method to relieve nausea and to reduce fatigue before a workout.
Dilute peppermint oil in a carrier oil before applying topically. Use a dilution ratio of a maximum of 3%. 3% dilution means 3 drops of peppermint oil in a teaspoon of carrier oil.
Apply the blend on abdomen area to get relief from indigestion. Moreover, to alleviate stress, improve blood circulation, and reduce pain, use the blend on forehead, shoulders, and the back of the neck.
Peppermint oil acts as a natural astringent that tightens the skin and offers relief from skin problems like sunburns. Try these recipes to boost your skin health.
Make your own foot scrub for aching and tired feet and to get rid of cracks.
Add 1½ cups of sea salt, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, and a tablespoon of olive oil to a medium-sized bowl. Mix all ingredients well and then add 8 drops each of the essential oils of lavender and peppermint, and blend again.
Keep this mixture in a lidded jar and store it in a cool, dark place, like a refrigerator. Pour a small amount of this homemade scrub onto the palm and scrub feet, calves, and ankles with this mixture. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes, and then rinse it off with warm water. Your feet will look attractive and feel refreshed.
Get glowing skin that makes you look younger with the help of the following recipe.
In a heat-safe glass bowl placed in a pan of boiling water, add ¼ cup olive oil, a tablespoon each of beeswax and shea butter, and 3 tablespoons of coconut oil. You can also use a double-boiler for this. Continue to stir the ingredients while heating them. Once melted and mixed well, remove the blend from the heat, and then add 5 drops of peppermint essential oil and 10 drops each of frankincense essential oil and lavender oil. Blend all the ingredients well by stirring again.
Let the mixture cool, then transfer it to a glass mason jar or some other container. Apply this homemade lotion on your face and body, but keep it away from your eyes. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after using this lotion.
To get rid of blackheads, you'll need a tablespoon of gelatin, ½ teaspoon turmeric, and a drop each of peppermint and frankincense essential oils.
In a pan, heat 1/8 cup of water, then pour this warm water onto a small bowl. Next, add all the ingredients one by one. Stir the mixture to blend them all well.
Apply this mixture with a brush. Leave it on for 15 minutes and let it dry completely. Peel off the mask gently, and then rinse the face with warm water. Use this mask either in the morning or at night before bed.
To brighten dull skin, make your own facial scrub with peppermint oil.
Start with combining 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 3 teaspoons of table salt. Then add 4 drops of peppermint essential oil, and stir well to combine.
Wash the face and then scrub this mixture over the face gently for an excellent exfoliation session. Do this every 3 days to get healthy, radiant skin.
Add 40 ml of apple cider vinegar and 115 ml filtered water to a glass spray bottle. Next, add 30 drops of peppermint essential oil and give the bottle a good shake to blend the ingredients well.
Store this bottle in the refrigerator and use this toner twice daily as a facial mist.
Get skin free of blemishes on the face by making your own facial mask.
In a bowl, whisk together 5 ml diluted peppermint essential oil and 2 tablespoons of grated cucumber. Add 2 tablespoons of green clay to the bowl and blend all the ingredients well into a paste.
Use this paste as a facial mask. Once it's dry, wash it off with warm water. Follow this recipe twice a week to get rid of oily skin, as this mask can absorb the oil from your face.
Remove acne scars and improve skin health by combining lavender essential oil with 2-3 drops of peppermint oil in equal parts, and then applying this mixture topically skin areas affected by acne marks.
Menthol, used in anti-dandruff shampoos, is one of the most important chemical components of peppermint essential oil. This is why peppermint oil can be effectively used to promote hair growth and increase the depth of hair follicles.
To make homemade shampoo for reducing dandruff, mix 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 6 ounces of aloe vera gel, 10 tablespoons of baking soda, 10 drops of peppermint oil, and 20 drops of rosemary essential oil.
Store the mixture in an 8-ounce glass dispenser. Use it like you'd use a regular shampoo.
If you have thinning hair, try blending a tablespoon of coconut oil or olive oil with 3-4 drops each of peppermint, sage, and rosemary essential oils. Massage this mixture daily into the thinning areas once or twice a day to promote hair growth.
Add 10 drops of peppermint oil into a bottle of shampoo or hair conditioner, and give the bottle a good shake to disperse the oil throughout. You can also add 1-2 drops of peppermint oil to a dollop of shampoo, and then use it just like a regular shampoo or conditioner.
Hydrate or moisturize dry scalp and hair by mixing either a few drops of peppermint oil or a blend of peppermint oil with oils like lavender or jasmine with a carrier oil. After applying this mixture onto hair and scalp, wrap the head with a hot towel or wear a shower cap for at least 30 minutes. Rinse hair with shampoo.
Use these recipes of peppermint oil for health benefits like relieving sinus congestion, reducing headaches, easing digestion, and many more.
Create natural toothpaste at home that will not only feel good in the mouth but will also remove plaque gently. All you'll need for this recipe are 4 tablespoons of coconut oil, 20 drops each of the essential oils of peppermint and cinnamon, and 2-4 tablespoons of baking soda. You may also add up to a tablespoon of xylitol powder to the list of ingredients.
Melt coconut oil and add in the rest of the ingredients and stir to blend them well. Transfer this mixture to a lidded glass jar.
To use, apply ½ teaspoon of this toothpaste on your toothbrush without adding water. After brushing your teeth, spit out the remainder and then rinse your mouth with water to get a pleasant aftertaste.
Alternatively, add 2 drops of peppermint essential oil to your regular toothpaste and brush your teeth with it to prevent bad breath and toothaches.
This recipe uses a blend of essential oils for coughs and common colds that addresses the root cause of coughs and helps reduce the cough intensity.
First, melt ¼ cup each of olive oil and grated beeswax along with ½ cup coconut oil into a heat-safe glass jar over low-medium heat. Remove the jar from the heat and allow the mixture in the jar to cool slightly. Next, add in 20 drops each of peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils.
Transfer this mixture to a metal tin or some other container and let it set. To use, apply this natural vapor rub on back, throat, and chest to help with common cold symptoms by unclogging nasal passages and improving the ease of breathing.
If you suffer from stomach bloating, stomachaches, or other digestive problems, brew yourself a cup of peppermint tea.
Start with heating some water, not to boil. Pour 1-2 drops of peppermint essential oil into it for a strong mint flavor. Stir the water with a spoon to disperse the mint flavor.
Drink this mint tea while it's still hot. Take 1-2 cups of this herbal tea every day to reduce blood pressure and alleviate symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
For effectively reducing headaches and migraines, pour 2-3 drops of peppermint oil onto the palm and then rub it over the back of neck, forehead, and the temples.
Dilute the essential oil with a carrier oil, if the peppermint feels too chilling or the minty smell is too strong.
Prevent sunburns and heal skin after exposure to the sun by preparing a spray at home to relieve the pain from sunburns.
Fill a saucepan with 2 inches of water and place it over medium heat. Add 1/8 cup fractionated coconut oil and ½ cup liquid aloe vera juice in a jar and keep the jar in the saucepan.
Stir the mixture to liquefy the coconut oil and combine the 2 ingredients. Next, remove the jar from the heat and add in 10 drops each of the essential oils of peppermint and lavender. After blending them all well, transfer the mixture to a glass spray bottle and store it in a cool, dark place.
Spray this mixture over your skin for sunburn relief. Alternatively, mix ½ teaspoon coconut oil with 2-3 drops of peppermint essential oil and apply this mixture directly on your skin.
You can use peppermint oil in a number of ways to get relief from nausea.
Add a drop of peppermint oil to a glass of purified water and breathe in the fragrance deeply, or inhale directly from the bottle of peppermint essential oil.
Rub 1-2 drops of the peppermint oil behind ears, or on the soles of the feet and onto the back of the neck.
You can also add 2-3 drops of peppermint oil to a cold compress and place it on your forehead for nausea relief.
To make a homemade mouthwash, add a tablespoon of calcium carbonate powder, 8 drops of concentrated trace minerals liquid, 3 cups of spring or bottled water, 5 drops each of peppermint and tea tree essential oils, and 3 drops each of the essential oils of lemon and spearmint into a glass mason jar. Shake well to blend all ingredients well. Store this mixture in a dark place or a fridge.
To use, take a small sip of this homemade mouthwash. Swish it around inside your mouth and gargle for 20-30 seconds, and then spit it out. Don't swallow the mouthwash.
The antimicrobial properties of peppermint oil make it effective when used as a household cleaner or an insect repellent. This oil not only deodorises the home but also sanitises it.
In a glass spray bottle, mix 12 ounces of witch hazel with 10 drops each of peppermint and tea tree essential oils and 15 drops each of lemon and citronella essential oils. Shake the bottle well before each use, and spray around your house and in the corners to keep insects like fleas and mosquitoes at bay.
Alternatively, add 10-15 drops of peppermint oil to a cup of water in a glass spray bottle, and use it in the same way as in the first recipe. To repel ants, sprinkle a few drops of peppermint oil on cotton balls and keep them around your house.
You can also dilute peppermint essential oil with coconut oil or jojoba oil and apply a drop of the diluted peppermint oil on your clothes or your skin.
Fill up a 16-ounce glass spray bottle with a mixture of water and ¼ cup white vinegar. Add 10-20 drops of a blend of peppermint oil with tea tree essential oil or lemon essential oil to the mixture in the spray bottle and shake it well.
Spray this mixture on kitchen counters and other surfaces in and around the kitchen and bathroom to clean as well as disinfect them.
Make your clothes last longer by creating your own laundry soap at home. The ingredients you'll need are a cup of baking soda, 2 cups of washing soda, a bar of grated castile soap, and 15 drops each of peppermint and lavender essential oils.
Mix all these ingredients together and store this mixture in an airtight container. In your washer, wait until the water gets through the soap dispenser, then add ¼ cup of the homemade laundry detergent for each large wash load.
Always dilute peppermint essential oil before using for topical applications. Don't use this essential oil topically on the chest or face of children or infants, as they may get skin irritation. Also, avoid using peppermint oil for dogs and cats.
Do NOT ingest as it may lead to side effects, which include mouth sores, heartburn, headaches, and flushing.
If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or already taking medicines for some other health issues, it's best to consult a certified aromatherapist before using peppermint essential oil. Read about essential oil safety tips to know more.

Airbnb's lawsuit challenging a New York state law that imposes steep fines on residents who want to rent their homes will now be heard in a New York City court. That's because the two parties agreed it is the city, not the state, that enforces the regulation, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The company filed the suit shortly after Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a new short-term rental law on Oct. 21. His measure included costly fines on Airbnb hosts in an effort to deter the already illegal practice of advertising for short-term rentals by those who are not landlords or owners.
The fines imposed on an Airbnb host in that instance —a rental stay of fewer than 30 days —could be as high as $7,500.
The law would also help keep housing prices down and open up more apartments for long-term use.
"We have long sought to work with leaders in New York on clear, fair rules for home sharing, and we're continuing to do all we can to protect the thousands of middle-class families who depend on home sharing to earn a little extra money," Airbnb spokesman Peter Schottenfels said in a news release Tuesday.
The case will now shift to New York City, which is Airbnb's largest market in the United States. A hearing with city officials is expected on Dec. 17.
The outcome of that decision could serve as a guide for legislation in other cities, which are attempting to draft similar laws to regulate short-term leases in direct response to Airbnb's booming business model.
Many supporters of the governor's law feel Airbnb is siphoning business from hotels, and that it lacks sufficient regulation.
The state law will not be enforced until the lawsuit is resolved, Bloomberg News reported.

Today is National Pasta Day and I made you roasted red pepper pasta!
Actually, I've read that October is pasta month, which is kind of surprising, because I would have expected it to be pumpkin spice month but I'm a little thrilled that it's not. I love pasta more. Way more.
We have a entire month dedicated to pasta and the 17th is the national day to celebrate. I love it. Move over September, October is officially my favorite month.
Because of this glorious month/day, two things are happening. The first is that I made you this EXCELLENT roasted red pepper pasta dish. The sauce consists of sautéed carrots, celery, onion and garlic with homemade, oven-roasted red bell peppers blended until velvety smooth with broth and then swirled with mascarpone cheese. A creamy, luscious yet simple roasted red pepper pasta sauce is tossed with Italian egg noodles is the ultimate way to celebrate.
Number two: my friends at Lagostina want to give one of you lucky readers, a beautiful hammered copper pastaiola set (!!!), it's comes from their Martellata Collection and it's stunning.
I know.
This pot is without a doubt the most beautiful pot I have. I've have always wanted a pastaiola set, since watching hours upon hours of cooking shows my whole life. To be able to cook pasta then lift the nesting colander straight out of the boiling water, noodles are instantly drained and can be immediately added to pasta sauce. So of course you can imagine that when Lagostina reached out to me asking to review this gorgeous pasta set and host a giveaway, I couldn't say yes fast enough.
For me I was so excited to no longer have to pour scolding hot water from a pot into a colander in my kitchen sink, steaming my face and sometimes dew-ing my make up and I can't tell you how many times the steam has burned my hands. All of the above is no longer an issue with this pot. Using this pasta set is so convenient and if I need to ladle out some pasta water to loosen up my sauce, it's still in the pot and not down the drain because I had forgotten to reserve a half cup. <—- story of my life.
BONUS: you can serve the pasta dish you've made (and hopefully it's this one!) straight out of the gorgeous hammered copper pot, adding a beautiful rustic touch to your dinner table.
I now must own one of everything in this collection. (sorry Pat!)
The day before I planned to make this pasta, I oven-roasted my own red peppers just for this sauce. You need 4 large bell peppers, and since you never really know how many you're getting in a store bought jar of peppers, I like to roast my own.
The rest of the ingredients include; olive oil, diced carrots, celery onions, minced garlic, sherry wine, chicken or vegetable broth, mascarpone cheese, salt and pepper and pasta.
To start, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil to a 10-inch skillet and cook the carrots, celery and onions with a pinch of salt until tender. I cover mine, stirring occasionally until a fork can easily pierce a carrot. Then I add in the garlic, cook for a minute or two before adding 2 tablespoons of dry sherry wine and scraping up any bits on the bottom of the pan.
Meanwhile bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Then add the peppers (plus any liquids from roasting) into my blender along with the sautéed vegetables and garlic. Add a little of the chicken or vegetable broth at a time until pureed velvety smooth. I used my Vitamix.
Add the pureed roasted red pepper sauce back into the skillet and heat over low. Then swirl in 1/4 cup of mascarpone cheese. This is my favorite ingredient to add to sauces to give them a luscious creamy factor. If you can't find mascarpone cheese, then you can use 3 to 4 tablespoons of heavy cream in replacement.
Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
While the sauce is warming I drop the pasta into the pot to cook. I found the Italian egg pasta at Kroger and it only needed 3 to 4 minutes, so it was done in no time. Then I lifted my pasta from the boiling water and added it directly to the roasted red pepper pasta sauce.
Next, toss the pasta in with the sauce to coat.
…then serve!
I piled the roasted red pepper pasta high into bowls and I topped it with chopped fresh parsley, basil because I love the combination of herbs. Then of course, and LOTS of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
This roasted red pepper pasta is delicious, so creamy and flavorful! I served this with a Caesar salad and grilled garlic bread. Prepare to fall in love.

Hello you readers out there,
Back in school and I'm already reading close to 1k pages a week. I state such as it doesn't allow me a large block of time for working on my own poetic reading and writing. So far I've read two Shakespearean plays, two novel's from the 17th century and two novels from the 18th century as well as assorted poetry from Alexander Pope, Lady Mary Montagu, and an assortment of others. I'm going to attempt to be more active this semester and keep everyone updated on the reading I complete as I find it shapes my writing int he time period that I'm currently reading. Thanks for checking in and hope you're having a wonderful spring.

Spotlight on Sustainable Development 2019
Four years after the adoption of the 2030 Agenda the world is off-track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Most governments have failed to turn the transformational vision of the 2030 Agenda into real transformational policies. Even worse, xenophobia and authoritarianism are on the rise in a growing number of countries.
But there are signs of change. Social movements have emerged worldwide, many with young people and women in the lead. They not only challenge bad or inefficient government policies, but also share a fundamental critique of underlying social structures, power relations and governance arrangements.
Thus, the implementation of the 2030 Agenda is not just a matter of better policies. Meaningfully tackling the obstacles and contradictions in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs requires more holistic and more sweeping shifts in how and where power is vested, including through institutional, legal, social, economic and political commitments to realizing human rights.
The GCSPF and several members of the Global Coalition participated in the 2019 Report. The chapter on SDG 1 is entitled "Applying human rights standards for the governance of social protection will unleash its transformative potential" by the GCSPF. Read the publication here and see below the contributions by members of the GCSPF.
Reshaping Governance for Sustainability: 2019 "Spotlight" Report Launched at the UN HLPF
"There needs to be an examination of the hardware of the 2030 Agenda, rather than an upgrade of its software" concludes the 2019 Spotlight Report launched on Thursday, 11 July during the HLPF that reviews the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. Under the title of "Reshaping governance for sustainability", the civil society report explores transforming institutions, shifting power and strengthening rights. The launch event showcased the ideas presented by a variety of the report's authors. Read more
SDG 1. Applying human rights standards for the governance of social protection will unleash its transformative potential
By Sylvia Beales and Nicola Wiebe, Global Coalition for Social Protection Floors
The Agenda recognizes that economic growth alone misses those left furthest behind, and its transformative vision is to reach the furthest first, to leave no one behind, to empower the disadvantaged and to end poverty in all its forms everywhere by 2030.
Social protection is key to accomplishing this vision and is mandated in SDG 1, target 1.3. When properly designed, social protection effectively prevents and reduces poverty and inequality. Guaranteed social protection supports improved nutrition and access to essential services and can therefore interrupt the vicious cycle of poverty and its intergenerational transfer. Universal access rights to social protection means that those at extreme disadvantage can be reached, which contributes to overcoming deeply rooted experiences of discrimination and exclusion, disempowerment and gender inequality. But currently only 29 percent of the global population count on comprehensive social protection over the lifecourse and for the different contingencies that may occur. Read more
Civil society reports show conflicting priorities and trade-offs in SDG implementation
By Roberto Bissio, Social Watch
The trade-offs between different priorities competing for scarce budget resources, for the limited attention of policy-makers or the interest of the media rarely emerge in the official debates, but they are permanently highlighted by the independent reports of civil society on implementation of the 2030 Agenda… or lack of it. Read more
Unveiling the hidden dimensions of poverty
By Xavier Godinot, International Movement ATD Fourth World
The 2030 Agenda recognizes that poverty is multidimensional. However, apart from income poverty, hitherto these dimensions have not been well-specified, several of them have gone unrecognized, and the ways in which they all interact to shape the experience of poverty has not been properly understood. Read more
Human Rights in the 2030 Agenda: putting justice and accountability at the core of sustainable development governance
By Ignacio Saiz, Center for Economic and Social Rights (CESR)
Over the seven decades since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), human rights have become deeply embedded in the discourse, norms and structures of global governance. Promoting human rights is one of the foundational purposes of the United Nations. Human rights agreements – and disagreements – have profoundly shaped the dynamic of relations between States, as well as between governments and their people. The principles affirmed in the UDHR represent the closest humanity has come to an agreed universal framework of standards for how such relations should be governed. Read more
Club governance: Can the world still be run by gentlemen's agreements?
By Roberto Bissio, Social Watch
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development clearly identifies several issues, ranging from finances, to climate to trade, where global governance agreement is required. But actual decisions on these issues often run in the opposite direction. Non-accountable 'clubs' exercise de facto authority and raise obstacles to implementing the SDGs. Read more
SDG 8. Reclaiming the socio-economic transformation space for realizing SDG 8 in Africa
By Trywell Kalusopa, Africa Labour Research Network (ALRN), ITUC-Africa
This article seeks to add to the global dialogue from a trade union point of view, focusing on the assessment of progress in Africa towards SDG 8 targets on growth and employment. It argues that the current capitalist neoliberal global financial and economic production system tends to reproduce economic insecurities, a prime source of inequalities, unemployment and poverty. It asserts that the unfettered globalization enterprise, defined in the purview of the integration of trade, technology and labour, is an inherent driver of decent work deficits around the world. This is clear in the global commodity and value chains of the formal and informal economies that are now linked across borders, altering political, socioeconomic structures and ultimately employment relations. In that light, the increased integration of the global economy simply means that both formal and informal workers are enmeshed in integrated capitalist production processes that present newer challenges to worker organizations and ultimately undermine human development and progress. Read more
SDG 9. Towards a new approach to public infrastructure provision
By David Boys, Public Services International (PSI)
Public infrastructure and services are the bedrock of our societies – they help families thrive, they allow communities and businesses to grow and prosper, they provide support for people in need. They include health and social services; education; water and sanitation; energy; public transport; roads; land use planning (both urban and rural); justice, security and more. These core government responsibilities are one of the main guarantors of fulfilling human rights and reducing poverty.
Although the UN's 2030 Agenda implicitly acknowledges the fundamental role of public services and the importance of universal access, its Financing for Development policies and the emphasis in SDG 17 on partnerships are pushing us towards the private, for-profit model. This even as the for-profit model demonstrates its inability to ensure universal access, especially for the poor. Therefore, a different framework is needed, one that rebalances the needs of people and planet over profit. Read more
SDG 10. The IMF's role in economic governance: conducive to reducing inequalities within and among countries?
By Kate Donald, CESR, Grazielle David, University of Campinas and Mahinour El-Badrawi, CESR
The IMF plays a central role in economic governance, both at the global and national levels. Although it presents itself as neutral economic arbiter, its approach is in fact deeply rooted in certain economic orthodoxies, many of which have proven incompatible with the achievement of sustainable development and the meaningful reduction of inequalities, particularly in the Global South. Drawing on the examples of Egypt and Brazil, we present concrete examples of how IMF governance – in its various forms – has led to deepening of social and economic inequalities, and threats to human rights enjoyment. This is in stark contrast to the image that the IMF is painting of itself as a champion of the SDGs. Read more
SDG 11. Tackling the challenges of global urbanization: flagship local government initiatives to meet the SDGs
By Daria Cibrario, Public Services International (PSI) and Andrea Ciambra, United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG)
Highlighting the crucial role of local and regional governments in the frontline implementation of the SDGs, this article showcases a selection of innovative initiatives by subnational governments, often in dialogue and cooperation with trade unions and community groups. Cases go beyond the scope of SDG 11 (sustainable cities and communities) reaching out to other SDGs relating to essential public service access, housing, climate change and public procurement.

We were able to get a barrel chair in the room. Room steward started out great but service went downhill. Never vacuumed, late to clean room. Ship showing wear, balcony bannister in need of redo.
Princess excursion Reef ambassadorBecause we were arriving in the after noon I decided to book a ship excursion and we had ship board credit to use. We took this excursion which included a snorkel and some beach time. The crew were great, we were divided in groups and they had snorkel vests, snorkels and masks. Beach time was an hour on Klein Bonaire. The boat was easy to get on and off which was my main consideration. Previously we had just taken the ferry to KLein and that was great if shore snorkeling is sufficient.
Best way to Mero Beachwent to mero beach yesterday by taxi, we had to wait to fill up which was a pain. Beach was very pleasant, not crowded, reasonable price for chairs, water was clear and lovely sand was hot, bring sand shoes.

Bundesnachrichtendienst Virus Removal Tips
Bundesnachrichtendienst Virus is categorized as ransomware by malware specialists. As it can be seen from the title, it requires a ransom, in other words, a particular sum of money from the user. It simply locks your computer, not allowing you to access files or programs. It displays a warning on your computer screen that is supposedly written by BundesNachrichtenDienst (in other words, Federal Intelligence Service). As it can be seen by the title of the virus, the malware is targeted at German speakers and is mostly spread in Germany.
However, even if you do not know any German, you may get infected with this threat. It is even worse when you do not know the language because the fake message looks rather threatening, especially if you do not know what it says. One thing that you have to know is that it is obligatory to remove Bundesnachrichtendienst Virus from your computer, and we will help you do this.
