Cheese 101
7 May 2019
As part of our award-winning Sales Gallery's Spring Into Summer event series, 1000M recently hosted Erika Kubick, of Cheese Sex Death, to teach us about the art of cheese. In case you couldn't join us for Cheese 101, Erika has some additional tips and knowledge that will help you lead your own amazing cheese tastings at home.
Choose Your Cheese
When putting together the perfect cheese plate, three to six options is a good place to start. Any less, there won't be much variation, and too many, the distinct, individual flavors will blur. Erika's favorite limerick to create the perfect board? Stick with "something old, something new, something stinky and something blue." The point is: you want a variation of milk types, flavors, ages and textures.
Shopping for Your Cheese
As you're on the hunt for the right cheese, note how the store takes care of their cheese through visual cues. "Cheese is alive and breathing," Erika explains, so be wary of shops that have their products cut up into smaller pieces and wrapped in plastic. A tell-tale sign? Check out the rind, which is the most alive part of the cheese. Anything dried or cracked might signal cheese mishandling.
Cut-to-order stores are preferable, and Erika recommends All Together Now! In West Town or Eataly in River North. Once you find a favorite shop, make friends with your cheesemonger. They'll have insider information on what's new, pairing ideas and a wealth of cheese knowledge.
Experience Your Cheese
Once you have your cheese, what's the proper way to taste it? "You always want to make sure your cheese is at room temperature," Erika recommends, "refrigeration dulls the flavors and makes the texture brittle." Make sure you use separate knives for each cheese so the flavors don't mix, and sample cheese on its own first before adding accompaniments. Erika reiterates that cheese is a full sensory experience; look at it, smell it, feel it, taste it and discuss it. Talking about cheese is the best way to explore your own palette, and ensures fantastic conversation with friends or family.
Pair Your Cheese
When you're ready to explore accompaniments, such as fruits, spreads and wine, Erika's rule of thumb is to aim for contrast; cheese is naturally salty, so sweet will always work, such as honey or sweeter wines. You can also try complementary pairings, such as toasted nuts, which pair wonderfully with aged cheeses and will bring out their earthy, nutty flavors. When in doubt, sparkling wine will go with anything, but red wine is generally hard to pair correctly (this is where your cheesemonger is your best friend). "What grows together goes together," Erika notes, so look for cheeses and wines that come from the same region.
If you can't get enough cheese talk, Cheese Sex Death has frequent pop-up events throughout Chicago, and Erika is available for private parties. Get cheesy with your next bachelorette party, office event or birthday celebration, or follow along with Erika's blog for regular cheese tips.

You've got the skills, but do you have the garb?
In a professional kitchen, all eyes are on the food. The action is fast-paced, crowded and hot, so it's not exactly time for a fashion show. A working kitchen requires nothing short of a uniform, a go-to outfit that allows a chef to slice, tenderize and transfer something big (and possibly bloody) from fridge to cutting board. Home chefs on the other hand … well, wait just a minute — they're doing the exact same things! And with fewer assistants. Like zero.
So if a home chef is doing the work of a pro, shouldn't they dress like one? Laguna Beach-based stylist (and self-professed Julia Childs groupie) Leslie Christen says, "Yes, Chef!" In fact, the first piece of your new cooking wardrobe is something that you might already have.
"Aside from clean hands, an apron is one of your best tools in the kitchen," Christen says. "It's an indicator that you mean business. A wearable hand towel, a family heirloom, and protector of the occasional kitchen disaster. To many it might seem like an unnecessary accessory … until they actually try one."
An apron is the ideal first step in this wardrobe journey, because it can literally go over anything. Styles, lengths and fabrics range from cute and versatile to Iron- Chef-Serious (see our Get the Look section). Leslie wears an apron that's been in her family for ages, "I love the sentimentality of it. If that apron could talk, oh how wonderful the stories would be. It makes me feel like I can cook anything."
Once your apron is tied, it's time to take one step further into chef-dom. Peek into any restaurant kitchen and the staff is outfitted in similar coats, pants and shoes. But where to start?
"Comfort is key," Leslie says."If you are not comfortable in the kitchen it will show through your cooking." Kitchen pros don everything from jeans to stretchy chinos as pants, so Leslie suggests trying different pieces on. "Bend, twist, sit and walk in them. How do they make you feel, like you can conquer that souffle?!"
A chef coat, the utilitarian shirt-style coat that all pro cooks wear, may be for you, but Leslie says comfy, sturdy shoes are vital to a chef's day, "They're on their feet all day, so why not opt for the most comfortable footwear out there? Many wear Crocs or Boston-Style Birkenstocks, others wear Dansko clogs, and many now are opting for Vans or Converse in the kitchen. I guess it just matters on personal style!"
Get the Look. Leslie Christen's Guide to Fashionable Function in the Kitchen.
- If you want to look extra professional opt for a chef coat. Hedley & Bennett have some really sleek designs and flattering silhouettes. Aprons are not only a kitchen must-have, they also make a great gift! Styles range in length and fabric, but almost all new versions have a chest pocket designed specifically for smartphones. "I love the stylings of both Hedley & Bennett and Lost Car Chef Apparel. You can also check out local spots like Sur La Table or Williams Sonoma for some inspired looks."
- Hats are functional in the kitchen, but Leslie says a home chef can incorporate their favorite headband too to keep your hair from interfering with your culinary creation. Leslie loves the quirky style of Master Chef Junior co-host and Milk Bar owner Christina Tosi, "Christina stays true to herself in the kitchen in more ways than one. You'll usually find her in the kitchen looking casual yet chic in jeans, a tee and her signature top-knot headband. And have you tried her Crack Pie? It's amazing!!"
- A stylist recommended Crocs? Comfort and ease are required when you're on your feet all day. Crocs' Bistro Clogs $49.99. Unisex. Available in Men's and Women's sizes.

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July. It is crazy to think this might be my last fourth of July in a while. I think the fourth is one of my favorite holidays. It is always so much fun. Kids running around, parents and friends chilling, brqs blazing and fire works. What more could you ask for.? Happy Birthday America.
Speaking of America my husband at the end of this month becomes an American Citizen. Crazy! Yes,
we (haha he) took the test on July 9th and he has his oath ceremony on the 31st. I swear, I felt so sick waiting for his interview. You just feel so helpless. He now knows more about America then most Americans. It was actually quite fun helping him study for the test ( They are asked 10 random questions about the US history they have to get 6 correct in order to pass and whole bunch of other stuff). I am not going to lie I kind of felt like I was in movie. Like the "Proposal" or "Green Card" its no joke. I am so glad this is over!!!! BTW he got all the answer correct.
That means we bought our tickets to Sweden. Yes we leave on the 1st of August. I can't believe this move is really happening. Sweden will now be my new home. I will have to learn to speak Swedish, my baby boy is going to grow up speaking Swedish. I am so excited but also a little sad. I love my Hawaii. She beautiful, she is warm, she is friendly, is Aloha. At least my parents are still there so I know I will be back. I mean who can resist her warm water? Not us!
Packing completely sucks! No really! It is the worst. You realize how much junk you have saved, and bought and then you have to try to fit everything into a bag……ehhh yes. I want the little fairy packers to come. I feel like all I am doing is moving one mess to the other side of the room.
Well I must get back to packing we are shipping two bags out tomorrow.
This is getting real my friends.

The villa "Tranquilla" in the Costa Teguise area of Lanzarote is a lovely place to take the family for a well deserved break. Villa Tranquilla sleeps 6 people in 3 bedrooms, so should be big enough for most families. You get a private pool to use during your holiday: what better way to forget those everyday blues than by getting stuck into a good book on the sun terraces while the kids muck about in the pool. And, for a something a little special, you've also got a hot tub! Perfect for when the sun goes down - grab a glass of local wine, and relax in your own outdoor private hot tub!
If you can drag yourself away from the pool and hot tub at villa Tranquilla, there's plenty going on within walking distance: The centre of Costa Teguise is about 1½ kilometres from villa Tranquilla. While the restaurants, bars, shops, and the all important sandy beach, can all be found at Las Cucharas - which is about ½ kilometre from your villa. The airport is only a 15 minute drive from villa Tranquilla; why not forgot about a hire car when staying at villa Tranquilla - and just catch a taxi at the start and end of your holiday.

I don't think I'm far off to assume that the average American is just thinking, What Next? Where will the next riot take place? Who will be the next crazy gunman who makes CNN headlines? When will the next terrorist attack happen?
Yes, these same thoughts periodically go through my mind. I don't dwell on them, but every time I flip on the news I'm forced to ponder these realities. After all, things that used to be periodic tragedies all of sudden seem to be daily. I honestly believe we should all be asking ourselves, What Next?
Now, here is one option we need to just take out of consideration. While we should do all we can to stay safe in this crazy world, I'm afraid we can't fix the crazy around us. In fact, there is no sense in pondering on things we can't control, predict, or stop from happening. So, let's move on to what we can do something about.
If you're a believer in God's word, you can't help but believe that we are living in the last days. Scripture made it very clear many years ago that these types of things would happen. For instance, many can identify with the following prophetic words.
"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people."(2 Timothy 3:1-5)(NIV)
So, what next? I think the first step for all of us is to WAKE UP. We can't deny that every day is unpredictable. Therefore, instead of living in denial we need to live prepared. This always starts with making things right with the God who created us, knows us inside out, and will have the final say. I recently shared the following words on social media.
"I don't watch the news as much as most. But, how can any of us see the chaos around us and not fall on our knees? Why aren't churches full of all races coming together to seek God's divine intervention? Protest, criticism, racism or arguments change nothing. No matter how much things change around us Jesus will always be our only constant hope!"
Yes, times have changed. Yes, we live in uncertain days. But, God's word never changes on how we must deal with such times. Especially as chaos abounds beyond what we can fix, understand, or deal with alone.
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)(NIV)
Guns can't protect us from everything. The next president can't fix the biggest problems we face. Only by fully surrendering everything to an Almighty, All Knowing, All Powerful God can peace or healing be found. Because our greatest battles in this life are not physical, but spiritual.
If you have a church home I encourage you to faithfully gather with those believers. If you don't have a church home I personally invite you to Refuge Church of Walterboro (203 Eddie Chasteen Dr) where I promise you will always find hope. I pray nothing but God's best for all of you!

Maca root can increase libido and help treat sexual dysfunction
Few foods can beat maca root when it comes to improving stamina and physical performance. In fact, this nutritious tuber, which is native to the Andes of South America, was the Incas' primary source of energy, and it remains a popular natural alternative to anabolic steroids among many of today's athletes. Studies have also shown that maca root can help rebalance hormones, decrease total cholesterol and treat constipation. It is even a rare example of a land-based vegetable that is rich in the essential, thyroid-regulating trace mineral, iodine.
However, maca contains another health benefit that is often overlooked by researchers: it is an excellent natural libido and sexual performance booster in both animals and humans, and numerous studies prove it.
Effects on libido and sexual performance
A May 2001 study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that maca root could significantly improve sexual performance and fertility in male rats. For the study, the researchers fed 60 sexually experienced male rats either a 15 milligram or 75 milligram extract of pulverized maca root, or a 0.5 milliliter saline sample (as the control), on a daily basis for a 15 days. During the first week of testing, the researchers noticed that the rats that were fed the maca root demonstrated significantly greater sexual activity than the control group, with the rats who were fed the 75 milligram dose exhibiting even more activity than those fed the 15 milligram dose. This increased activity remained constant during the second week, and was also coupled with increased locomotion. This result lead the researchers to conclude that "both acute and chronic maca oral administration significantly improve sexual performance parameters in male rats."
Many researchers believe that these libido-boosting properties stem from maca's concentrations of the aromatic compound, p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, which is a potent aphrodisiac that appears to be exclusive to maca. Maca's fertility-boosting properties, on the other hand, have been attributed to its glucosinolate levels, which are similar to those of horny goat weed, another plant known to aid sexual health.
Two double-blind studies have confirmed that maca root can treat sexual dysfunction in humans. For the first study, which was published in the Andrologiajournal in April 2009, the researchers fed 50 male patients who were suffering from mild erectile dysfunction with either a 2,400 milligram extract of maca root or a placebo. After 12 weeks of testing, both groups experienced an improvement in their International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) scores. However, the researchers noted that "patients taking maca experienced a more significant increase than those taking placebo." The maca group also exhibited greater "sexual well-being" than the control group.
The second study, which was published in the CHS Neuroscience & Therapeuticsjournal in 2008, sought to determine whether maca root could treat sexual dysfunction that was induced by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), i.e. antidepressants. Once again, the results were positive: of the 20 male and female tested, those that were fed high doses (3 grams) of maca per day exhibited a significant improvement in their Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX) scores, while those that were fed low doses (1.5 grams) exhibited a minor improvement. The researchers concluded that maca root could provide a dose-related alleviation of antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction, and also noted that it "may also have a beneficial effect on libido."

Sterilization: North Carolina grapples with legacy
By Daniel Nasaw BBC News, Washington
14 June 2011 Last updated at 03:28
More than 60,000 Americans were sterilized, many against their will, as part of a eugenics movement that finished in 1979, aimed at keeping the poor and mentally ill from having children. Now, decades on, one state is considering compensation.
In 1968, Elaine Riddick was raped by a neighbor who threatened to kill her if she told what happened.
She was 13, the daughter of violent and abusive parents in the desperately poor country town of Winfall, in the US state of North Carolina.
While she was in hospital giving birth, the state violated her a second time, she says.
A social worker who had deemed her "feeble-minded" petitioned the state Eugenics Board to have her sterilized.
Officials coerced her illiterate grandmother into signing an "x" on an authorization form. After performing a Caesarean section, doctors sterilized her "just like cutting a hog", she says.
"They killed my kids," Ms Riddick says. "They killed mine before they got to me. They stopped it."
Sterilisation in the UK and Europe
- While eugenics is now recognized as a pseudoscience – and after the Nazis, one with murderous consequences – it was once a respectable branch of the social sciences.
- The term 'eugenics', meaning "good birth", was coined in 1883 by Sir Francis Galton, an English scientist who pushed the University College London to found a department to study the field.
- Sir Winston Churchill once called for forced sterilisation of "the feeble-minded and insane classes".
- While eugenic sterilisation never became official policy in the UK – in part due to opposition from the Catholic church – Finland, Norway, and Sweden adopted the sterilisation laws in the 1930s.
- Between 1933 and 1945, more than 400,000 Germans were sterilised under Nazi "racial hygiene" laws, according to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.
The group hopes to gather their stories and ultimately to recommend the state award them restitution. But with public coffers under severe pressure amid a flagging recovery, it is not clear the legislature will agree.
"I know I can't make it right but at least I can address it," said North Carolina state legislator Larry Womble. He hopes "to let the world know what a horrendous thing the government has perpetrated on these young boys and girls".
America's sterilization movement was part of a broad effort to cleanse the country's population of characteristics and social groups deemed unwanted, an effort that included anti-race mixing and strict immigration quotas aimed at Eastern Europeans, Jews and Italians.
Beginning with Indiana in 1907, 32 states eventually passed laws allowing authorities to order the sterilisation of people deemed unfit to breed. The last programme ended in 1979.
The victims were criminals and juvenile delinquents, women deemed sexual deviants, homosexual men, poor people on welfare, people who were mentally ill or suffered from epilepsy. African Americans and Hispanic Americans were disproportionately targeted in some states.
"In general it was the dispossessed of society," said Paul Lombardo, a historian and legal scholar at Georgia State University and editor of A Century of Eugenics in America.
Sterilisation petitions
- An 18-year-old girl, separated from her husband who had "manifested anti-social behavior"
- A black 25-year-old rape victim who showed "abnormal sexual tendencies"
- A 16-year-old girl who had earlier been committed to a state institution for "sexual delinquency" and whose aunt "signed consent"
- A white married mother of three, whose family had been "finally dependent for many years" and has "a history of inter-marriage with Indian and Negro"
- A 15-year girl deemed "feeble minded"; parents reportedly consented
North Carolina Eugenics Board, 25 October 1950
The laws were plainly coercive, scholars say, though some incorporated a veneer of consent – illiterate farmhands given forms to sign, institutional inmates told they would not be released with their bodies intact, poor parents told they would be denied public assistance if they did not approve the removal of a wayward daughter's fallopian tubes.
Motivating the laws, Prof Lombardo said, was indignation at the thought that people who had violated sexual mores would subsequently end up needing public assistance.
"We have in this country have always been extremely sensitive to notions of public stories of inappropriate sexuality," he said.
"We exercise that most dramatically when it comes to times in which we think we're spending individual tax money to support people who violate those social norms. It's our puritanical background, running up against our sense of individualism."
Supreme Court approval
The racial context was inescapable as well.
"The fewer black babies we have the better, that's what some people said," Prof Lombardo said. "'They're just going to end up on welfare.'"
Also implicated in American sterilisation laws was the classical eugenic notion that as with horses, authorities could use genetic principles to improve society through selective breeding.
In a 1927 US Supreme Court decision that upheld the laws, storied jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote: "It is better for all the world if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind."
All told, scholars estimate more than 60,000 Americans were sterilised under eugenics laws in the 20th Century.
North Carolina's law stood out for the wide net it cast.
Telling their stories
Most states would only order sterilization of institutional inmates or patients, North Carolina's allowed for people within the community – typically social workers to petition the state to have someone sterilized.
Of the 1,110 men and 6,418 women sterilised in North Carolina between 1929 and 1974, state health officials estimate about 2,900 could still be alive.
In recent years several states have re-examined their forgotten legacies – prodded in some cases by newspaper investigations – and extended official apologies.
North Carolina did so in 2003, but Mr Womble has continued to push for monetary compensation to the victims.
This month, a state task force created by his legislation will hold a public session at which surviving victims are expected to tell their stories.
The group will eventually make a recommendation for compensation to the governor – $20,000 per person has been suggested.
But the state is facing a $2.5bn (£1.5bn) budget shortfall. The conservative Republicans in control of the state legislature are already poised to slash transport, healthcare and education funds, so it seems unlikely lawmakers will authorise as much as $58m in reparations.
"My hope is that the state will recognise that there's never going to be a good time for compensation," says Charmaine Cooper, executive director of the Justice for Sterilization Victims Task Force, the state body.
Among those expected to testify is Ms Riddick, who now lives in Atlanta. She describes the prospect of a $20,000 payment as an insult.
"I am very angry," she says. "God said be fruitful and multiply. They did not only sin against me, they sinned against God."

Becoming a Better Pastor
Wednesday, July 24 2019 by Matt Horan
Every year the Staff-Parish Relations (SPR) teams of all United Methodist churches evaluate the pastors to help identify areas for improvement, and to choose appropriate growth goals for the coming year. We completed this process recently, and it has given me cause to reflect some over our first year at Heritage.
It has been a year full of challenges. Our move to Heritage was unexpected, just before our daughter's senior year of high school. We already had a two-week drive out west planned that would make us miss moving day! You were gracious to us and welcomed us warmly, even if we were two weeks late.
There have been many areas in my first year in which my performance has not been what the congregation hoped. I deal with a speech disorder called Cluttering, and it quickly became clear that I talk too fast for people to hear me when I speak in worship services. Using a Delayed Audio Feedback app on my phone causes me to slow down some, though I'm still working on it. People have also tried using the assistive listening devices in the sanctuary, but we need more of them.
There has been feedback about ways that my leadership of our sanctuary services has been a disappointment. 9am traditional service attenders want me to involve more children and students in worship, and 10:30 contemporary service attenders are often disappointed by seeing more creative efforts being put into the Ignite service than in the contemporary. I have been at work to make changes to our worship planning process so that both of these can be reversed.
The primary area for growth that our SPR team named for me was making more connections with people. I have heard from SPR, as well as from anonymous notes and people who reported hearing complaints, that I always seem to be moving too fast handling details of services or events, and don't stop to interact with people as much as I should.
These observations were somewhat stunning to me at first, because I feel like I'm someone who's pretty easy to get along with. After further reflection, however, I realize that I do often find myself noticing things that require setting up, straightening, organizing, preparing, etc. when people are present in the sanctuary before or after worship or special events. I could be enjoying meeting people and deepening connections with the congregation instead of worrying about last minute details.
So, I share this note to let you know that I am thankful that there's a desire out there to get to connect with me more–if it was the opposite I'd have a much bigger problem on my hands! I will be working harder to make the most of opportunities to connect with our congregation, because it's far better to neglect last second adjustments than it is to neglect people. –MHPrint This Post

Balbus is a Nord who roams Skyrim. He is a fan of the Gourmet and is collecting ingredients for him.
After the quest "Recipe for Disaster" has been completed, the Dragonborn has the option of impersonating the famous Gourmet. Balbus will provide some ingredients for his special dish, if he is shown the Gourmet's Writ of Passage.
He may send hired thugs if he is pickpocketed.
"What can I do for you?"
- Hello. "I'm collecting ingredients to bring to the Gourmet. He'll think my tastes so refined when I offer them to him. You have heard of the Gourmet?"
- I have. "Then you know that Gourmet keeps his identity a secret. I'm hoping to discover who he is, so I can tell him how he changed my life. For all I know, the Gourmet is a woman!"
- Never heard of him. "You've not heard of the Gourmet? Author of "Uncommon Taste"? He's a wizard with a spatula. Well, not an actual wizard, but his recipes are legendary."
(The following option is only available with the Gourmet's writ of passage.)
- I am the Gourmet! (Show Writ of Passage) "Oh my! You? It is an honor! Your food has opened my eyes to the wonders this world can hold. I've cooked every dish in your book, and I must say your brilliance is inspiring. My technique doesn't even approach yours...but whose would? Allow me to give you this, the fork I used the first time I tasted one of your dishes. Oh, and these ingredients I've been collecting for you. I've risked life and limb so that you may create another masterpiece. Make sure to think of me when you use them!"
"You know, I've heard that the Gourmet is in Skyrim right now..."
Balbus' spawn placement is random. He has been found at these locations:
- North of Riften in the woods.
- Southern shore of the Lake Ilinalta, northwest of Lakeview Manor, south of Fisherman's Island.
- Found on the road near White River Watch.
- Balbus' corpse has been found floating down the White River near the Shrine of Talos: White River Valley.
- Found west of Halted Stream Camp.
- On the road leading west from Whiterun.
- On a nondescript road leading to the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary.
- On the road Northeast of Bthardamz.
- At the triple intersection next to Bthardamz.
- Standing between Gjukar's Monument and Swindler's Den, near a small Shrine of Zenithar.
- Found southeast of Markarth, due west of Reachwater Rock.
- Found between Secundus' Shelf and the Western Watchtower near Whiterun.
- Found northeast of Anise's Cabin near the path up to Bleak Falls Barrow.
- Near Anise's Cabin.
- On the road just east of the Twilight Sepulcher.
- Found slightly northeast of Bleakwind Basin.
- On a road, near the Embershard Mine.
- Found slightly west of Riften.
- On a dirt path between Lost Knife Hideout and Hillgrund's Tomb.
- East of Whiterun along the road leading to the Ritual Stone.
- Found in the Tundra, South of Western Watchtower.
- Found west of Riverwood.
- North of White River Watch.
- Between Shimmermist Cave and Fellglow Keep.
- Directly out the back door of Rannveig's Fast.
- Northwest of Knifepoint Ridge, on the path up to Glenmoril Coven.
- South of Bonestrewn Crest.
- Balbus' corpse has been found slightly east of Riften.
- Southeast of Tower of Mzark.
- Northeast of Arkngthamz fighting Volkihar Vampires.
- Northeast of Riverwood.
- Near Refugees' Rest.
Upon being killed, Balbus usually carries the following items:
- Balbus' Fork
- Daedra Heart
- Gold (septims)
- Spider Egg
- Troll Fat
- Uncommon Taste (book)
- Hide Boots
- Hide Bracers
- Clothes (green)
- Iron Dagger
- Balbus' appearance is one of the random encounters that exist throughout Skyrim.
- Unlike most random encounter characters, Balbus does not disappear when the Dragonborn leaves the area, remaining at his original location unless killed. A new random encounter will occur if the location is revisited after some time has passed; if the encounter includes hostile characters, they are likely to attack Balbus.
- It is highly possible that he can be found dead, as he is not an essential character, is very weak, and will be attacked by any hostile enemies that approach him. As a result, he can be easily killed.

It's been a while now since Perth held a reputation for being just a big country town. And though perhaps just a few years ago you could have heard a pin drop after 7pm in the CBD, the sunniest capital city in Australia has now, finally, come of age.
After a long-fought battle to liberalise liquor licensing laws, a small bar scene has graduated from emerging to fully-fledged. Street art flanks the walls of inner-city streets like Wolf Lane, and surrounding suburbs like Subiaco, Leederville, Mount Lawley and Northbridge are dotted with small retailers committed to providing visitors and locals with the best West Australian food and wine, and sustainable and ethically sourced products.
Where to stay
Start your weekend in the west by checking in to the Alex Hotel, a stylish independent boutique operation located in the heart of the Northbridge cultural precinct. Its façade is so discreet you could almost miss it, and with a range of rooms from 'small' to 'x large', it can cater to a variety of budgets.
The hotel also offers a fleet of Lekker Bikes to make getting around the city affordable and environmentally friendly. A five-minute walk from the centre of the CBD and two minutes from train and bus routes, it's an excellent base for exploring what the capital has to offer.
Where to eat
Sitting on a corner at the top of William Street in Northbridge, Wines of While is the local bar we all we wish we had in our neighbourhood. Its drinks menu is a trip around the world (with a strong bias towards Europe and Australia) with an ever-changing list of organic and natural labels and varieties from all over. The relaxed but excellent homestyle-Mediterranean cooking that goes alongside reflects the attitude of the staff, the pared-back decor, and the venue itself.
The sourdough is a must, as well as any of the salumi, and if you're lucky enough to hit a night where they are doing cacio e pepe, it's some of the best you'll find outside Rome. Be patient: it's been open less than a year and has been busy since day one. It doesn't take bookings but staff are happy to offer you a glass of wine if you're willing to wait a few minutes for a seat. It's a perfect spot to while away a couple of sunny afternoon hours, or to spend an evening.
If you're looking at heading into the city, try Hadiqa near the new Westin for middle eastern fare, or explore restaurants at the State Buildings on St Georges Terrace: for coffee you can't go past Telegraph, while the Petition Beer Corner is a great place to grab a pint before heading to eat at either Petition restaurant, or Long Chim downstairs. For a little wellness splurge, book in at the Como Shambala Spa, which sits on top of the building.
Night spots
And if pre or post-dinner cocktails are on the agenda, head downstairs at the newly relaunched Brookfield Place where intimate venues Bar Lafayette and Bobeche have, in a few short years, rightly developed reputations for old-school quality drinks and excellent service. W Churchill is a great new addition, offering an Italian-inspired menu with bites through to burgers and big plates.
Hit the beach
Perth is rightly famous for its beaches. Without daylight savings, the sun is up early, and locals love to take advantage by surfing or SUP-ing before brunch. Elemental SUP hire stand up paddle boards and run lessons from Leighton Beach (accessible by train from Perth), or try a Surfing WA class at Trigg Beach. Bookings required for both and can be made online.
A little further up the coast just past Trigg you'll find Yelo, a cute surf café with a great view across the Indian Ocean. Its focus, alongside consistently pumping out some of the city's best flat whites, is on selling sustainable and eco-friendly homewares. It also offers up its used coffee grounds free to any takers.
Visit Rottnest Island
Your trip to Perth wouldn't be compete without a visit to Rottnest. Before you head off, drop by the General Store to pick up water, snacks and supplies for a picnic lunch. Pop into Pedal and Flipper on Bedford Ave and find the perfect bike for your day exploring some of the 63 beaches and 20 bays on the Island.
Choose your route, north or south. Chat with voluntary guides at the Salt Store, or staff at Pedal and Flipper or the Visitor Centre who can tell you which are the best for the day's weather conditions. Salmon Bay and Parakeet Bay are our top picks for the south and north for their stunning coastal scenery.
At the end of your day drop in at Geordie Bay or head back to the Main Settlement for an afternoon coffee and a sweet treat
Transfers across to Rottnest Island can be booked through one of the three ferry operators. Rottnest Island ferry companies provide transfers to the Island from Perth City, North Fremantle (Rous Head), Fremantle (Victoria Quay) and Hillarys Boat Harbour in Perth's north. Rottnest ferries take approximately 25 minutes from Fremantle, 45 minutes from Hillarys Boat Harbour, or 90 minutes from Perth's Barrack Street Jetty.
Get around the arts
West Australian ballet runs part of its program from a disused quarry in City Beach, which, paired with a picnic, makes for a beautiful night under the stars. Its regular program – if you prefer a theatre seat – runs from the historic His Majesty's Theatre in the CBD. The State Theatre Centre is right next to the Alex Hotel. It opened in 2011 and features interactive artwork that is worth a visit even if you can't make a performance.
When to visit
January to March you'll find seasonal festivals like Perth Festival, which includes a writers' festival, rooftop movies in the CBD, and the Fringe World festival. You're also likely to find excellent weather.
The CAT bus service in Perth is free. It runs four routes in the CBD, including one that passes Kings Park – a must-see. If you can't get your hands on a bike, navigating the city on foot is easy. If you're heading to shop or play in Subiaco, Leederville or Mount Lawley you can get there on the train in less than ten minutes.
Bookmark this guide and book a flight: Perth is no longer the sleepy cousin, but a vibrant city with an identity all of its own.

To plug the latest gap in his West Virginia coaching staff, Dana Holgorsen has dipped into the deep well of assistants Nick Saban has accumulated in Tuscaloosa.
The football program confirmed Friday that Doug Belk has been hired to serve as the Mountaineers' cornerbacks coach. Belk will replace Danny "Blue" Adams, who left earlier this week for a job at South Florida.
This will mark Belk's first on-field job at the FBS level.
"We would like to welcome Doug to the West Virginia football program," Holgorsen said. "He comes highly recommended and brings several years of successful secondary experience at high-level programs. He will be a great addition to our staff."
The past three seasons, Belk has been a defensive graduate assistant at Alabama. Prior to that, he was at Valdosta State for three years, the last two as secondary coach.
"I'm excited to come to West Virginia University and be a part of a program that does an outstanding job of developing players and has a great winning tradition," Belk said. "I want to thank Coach Holgorsen and Coach Gibson for giving me this opportunity to be a part of the coaching staff and the Mountaineer football program and to contribute to the program's continued success."

It's the perfect tool for musicians, students and songwriters alike.

Audio Chord Wizard
The Audio Chord Wizard is an extremely powerful feature that automatically finds chord symbols (C, Fm7 etc.) by analyzing the audio content of a song (MP3/WAV/WMA or CD-audio file). The song can be in a digital file format (MP3/WMA/WAV), one that you created in PowerTracks, or directly loaded from a CD. In addition to the chords, the Audio Chord Wizard also automatically determines the bar lines and a Tempo map. Use this feature to instantly play along to your favorite songs, by reading and printing the chord symbols.
Real Drums
We've added real audio drums to PowerTracks! This allows you to instantly create audio drums tracks with real recordings of top studio Jazz/Rock/Country drummers. These are not "samples," but are full recordings, lasting from 1 to 8 bars, playing along in perfect sync with the other tracks. For example, choose a "brushes" style, and you will now hear lush Jazz brushes, or choose "RockGrunge" for a heavier sound. The results are dramatically better than MIDI. They sound like a real drummer, because they are recordings of a real drummer. We include many RealDrums styles with PowerTracks, and 5 RealDrums sets are available.
Audio Mixer Window
The all-new Mixer window has VU meters on each track, Mute buttons for each track, and a scrollable track strip. With a total of 8 Aux busses, you can use up to 4 on one track - for 16 DirectX or VST plug-ins on a single track – and you can create subgroups of audio ports for submixes. ASIO input monitoring gives you the option of monitoring either the "wet" or "dry" effects signal while recording.
Audio Tracks Window
PowerTracks now has 8 auxiliary busses, with the ability to use up to 4 at a time per track. Having more aux busses means that you can add more real time audio effects to your song efficiently. You could have up to 16 Aux effects per track since each track can use up to 4 aux busses with up to 4 effects plug-ins per bus.
Now, when using ASIO audio drivers, you can hear the audio input while recording and you can apply audio effects to the monitored signal, with the option to record the signal as wet or dry. For example, when recording vocals, you can hear your voice with reverb during recording with the option to record wet or dry.

By Stephen J. Kotz
Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst has confirmed that she will give up her town position this year and challenge freshman Republican Representative Lee Zeldin in 2016 instead.
"This has been suggested to me for some time," Ms. Throne-Holst said on Wednesday morning. "I finally made my decision a couple of weeks ago."
Ms. Throne-Holst, who is a member of the Independence Party, said she would switch her affiliation to the Democratic Party. "When you are legislating at the local level, there isn't a Democratic, Independence or Republican way to fill potholes," she said, "but when you get to the national level, you have to caucus with the Democrats or the Republicans and there is no question I'll be with the Democrats."
Ms. Throne-Holst said, if elected, she would focus on representing the people of the 1st District, and not serving a political agenda.
Although Mr. Zeldin has only been in office about five months, Ms. Throne-Holst said, "I think he has shown in a very short amount of time that he is out of touch with the day to day issues affecting his constituents," noting that he had voted against Medicaid and Homeland Security funding.
Ms. Throne-Holst said she would step down from her town position when her term ends at the end of the year. "I will be at Town Hall doing my job just the way I have until the end of the year, and after that I will put the same commitment into the congressional race."
Gordon Herr, the chairman of the Southampton Town Democratic Committee, said on Wednesday, "There's no question we'll be backing Anna, of course," when the committee holds its convention on Wednesday May 27, although she still must obtain the countywide nod.
Mr. Herr promised the Democrats would field "a very powerful slate and we will retain control of the board come November," even though the party currently cross-endorses two members of the Independence Party, Ms. Throne-Holst and Councilman Brad Bender.
There is only one registered Democrat on the board, Councilwoman Bridget Fleming, and she is expected to be named that party's nominee to replace Jay Schneiderman as county legislator for the 2nd Legislative District, which covers East Hampton and Southampton Towns.
Mr. Schneiderman, who cannot run again because of term limits, said this week he has expressed an interest in running for Ms. Throne-Holst's position. Mr. Schneiderman has family ties and property in Montauk. He served two terms as East Hampton supervisor and remained registered there, but he is now living in Southampton.
"I've been representing Southampton for 12 years, I know a lot of the people and a lot of the issues," he said over the phone on Wednesday. He said he thought that the similarities between East Hampton and Southampton, and his experience would help his candidacy.
Meanwhile, in East Hampton Town, both major parties have held their conventions and announced slates.
The Republicans have nominated Tom Knobel, the party chairman and a former councilman and Trustee, to challenge incumbent Democratic Supervisor Larry Cantwell.
Mr. Knobel said the Democrats, who hold a 4-1 majority on the town board, "are trumpeting achievements that don't exist" and said they have left numerous projects unfinished after more than a year in office, ranging from East Hampton Airport regulations, to the Montauk beach protection project to a rental registry.
He will be joined on the ticket by Nancy Keeshan, a Montauk real estate broker, and Leonard Czajka, a retired banker, who will run for Town Board.
Both parties have cross-endorsed incumbent Town Justice Lisa Rana, Town Highway Superintendent Stephen Lynch, and Assessors Jeanne Nielsen and Jill Massa.
The Republicans will also run the Trustee slate of Diane McNally, Tim Bock, Sean McCaffrey, Nat Miller, Joe Bloecker, James Grimes, Stephen Lynch Jr., Michael Havens and Josh Davidson.
The Democrats have nominated the three incumbent town board members, Mr. Cantwell, and Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc, and Councilwoman Sylvia Overby.
For Trustee, they have nominated Bill Taylor, Francis Bock, Pat Mansir, Rona Klopman, Deborah Klugher, Brian Byrnes, Zachary Cohen, Ricky Drew, and Tyler Armstrong.

Often when events such as the shooting today happen, I can't quite wrap my mind around the whole thing. That is when the word helps me work through this senselessness. Today Shakespeare helps me draw closer to some understanding of today's events. The human condition really hasn't changed a whole lot since Shakespeare penned Hamlet. Hamlet asks the famous question at the beginning of this soliloquy. What question are you asking today?
--Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?--To die,--to sleep,
--No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to,--'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die,--to sleep;--To sleep!
perchance to dream:--ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would these fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
--The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns,--puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought;
And enterprises of great pith and moment,
With this regard, their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.--Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia!--Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.
Lord, please bring peace into this situation. Replace the anger, bitterness and fear with love, peace and joy. Comfort your people, Lord. Do not let these children of yours die in vain.
In your name we pray.

Racial disparities are not due solely to past historical harms that have been erased by federal law. When I was young, a black family moved in down the street from mine. They were striving to ensure their children received a good education and were looking to escape the crime and other challenges present in their previous neighborhood. They became all the talk of our block… 'What will happen to our house values?' 'Would they bring crime?' Several families actively shunned this family. Instead of the welcome wagon and housewarming gifts of cookies, they were given silence. Many families would not let their children play with their kids. The family moved out after just a handful of months because of the welcome they received. This was 30 years ago in the twin cities.
My own son had a budding best-friendship with a black child in daycare. We intentionally tried to choose a daycare that was welcoming to all families. We found one that had leadership and teachers of color and felt assured our kid would benefit from the cultural diversity of the workers and students. One day while reading at bedtime he told me he was excited to be invited to a child's birthday party, but was sad that his friend couldn't go. I learned from my three-year old that his friend wasn't invited because he was black. Soon afterward he lost his budding best friendship as the family moved to a different care provider. The racism of one dad sent ripples of racism through that classroom, and traumatized a child and family. Unfortunately I didn't know then how to react to the school and did the usual white thing of just going along. But I did know enough to start having discussions about race and racism with my child. Black Lives Matter in our household and if we are going to right the wrongs of the past it means adults learn from their mistakes and teach their children better than they have been taught and work against the normalization of racism.

A skills shortage in all areas of construction has worsened in recent months, with a lack of carpenters and plumbers leading to a squeeze on project delivery, a new report has found.
A report by the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI) and PwC said a lack of electricians and civil engineers were also more severe than last year.
Construction industry figures have long warned about the strain on traditional trades, while third level chiefs have voiced concern that yearly placements in courses such as tiling have dropped to single digits.
The report found 88% of chartered surveyors reported shortages of carpenters, up from 69% last year, while 87% experienced shortages of plumbers, up from 70%.
Some 87% had shortages of bricklayers, up from 75% last year, the report said.
PwC Ireland's Joanne Kelly said: "Acute skills shortages in the Irish construction sector have persisted since the recession and continue to be the single biggest obstacle holding back construction output.
New initiatives to attract and retain people, including more women, are needed.
Significant investment in education and training is required, as well as more co-operation between Government and industry, if the housing shortage was to be tackled, Ms Kelly said.
The report said tender price inflation and planning regulation issues are also holding back progress, with four out of five chartered surveyors saying they have difficulty accessing finance.
Some 45% expect profits to increase, down from 63% last year, the report said.
Just under a third of those surveyed said they are unprepared for Brexit, despite the deadline being postponed. Ms Kelly said: "With thousands of Brexit-associated jobs already secured in Ireland, Brexit should continue to bring opportunities.
"Continued investment in key infrastructure projects, including regional development, is critical to ensure that all businesses in the construction industry can benefit from the opportunities that may arise."
The Construction Industry Federation warned earlier this year of nine in 10 firms experiencing "severe difficulties" in sourcing tradespeople, especially in block laying, plastering, tiling, and painting and decorating.
The CIF report noted "a severe lack of engineers, quantity surveyors, foremen, project managers, general operatives, ground workers and apprentices".

Ever since the Xbox 360 introduced cross-game chat to its Xbox Live users, enabling them to party up with and chat with players in other games, PlayStation 3 fans have wondered when Sony would implement such a feature on the PSN. As it turns out, the reason we've been waiting so long for this feature, is because the PS3 simply cannot do it. There are memory restrictions in place that would make it impossible, Shuhei Yoshida told Eurogamer.
A RAM usage feature of the console prevents a cross-game chat feature, Yoshida explained.
"Once a game gets RAM we never give it back," he said. "It's not possible to retrofit something like that after the fact…The game has to use its own memory to do in-game voice chat. There's always voice chat in the game. But it's part of a game feature. It's not part of an OS feature. That's the reason in terms of the ability to have voice chat across different games."

The fifth meeting of the Swiss-South African joint committee established under the bilateral agreement on scientific and technological cooperation took place in Bern on Monday, 23 September. The discussions covered a range of matters including twelve new research projects, closer ties between the national research promotion agencies, and new possibilities for cooperation between universities of applied sciences in both countries.
A bilateral agreement on scientific and technological cooperation has been in place between Switzerland and South Africa since 2007. This has helped to significantly boost relations between scientific communities in the two countries. The results of the last call for joint research projects could serve as the most recent example for the joint committee composed of high-level representatives from the respective ministries and leading scientific institutions of both countries. Following a joint call by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and the South African National Research Foundation (NRF), twelve of around 90 project proposals were accepted. These projects in the fields of public health, environment and energy, as well as social sciences and humanities will now receive funding.
For the next phase of the bilateral programme, and to enhance cooperation, the SNSF and the NRF are currently negotiating a direct cooperation arrangement in the shape of a 'Lead Agency' agreement. The agreement would allow researchers in Switzerland to submit a joint research project developed with a partner in South Africa to just one of the research promotion organisations. This procedure would significantly reduce administrative costs and facilitate bilateral cooperation.
In addition, the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, in conjunction with the University of Basel, acts as Leading House for Sub-Saharan Africa. As such, it regularly offers instruments for researchers interested in cooperating with partners from that region. One such example is the Swiss - South African Business Development Programme (SSABDP), which aims to strengthen the entrepreneurial know-how of researchers and innovators in marketing their research projects.
In addition to the official joint committee delegation, two further South African delegations are also currently in Switzerland as part of bilateral cooperation activities in the field of education, research and innovation. The first delegation of South African scientists is conducting a fact-finding mission on science and technology with the support of Presence Switzerland. The second delegation consisting of representatives from Venda University is focusing its attention on Swiss universities of applied sciences and is seeking to strengthen cooperation in the field of applied R&D, and encourage student and academic staff exchanges. Since 1962 around 100 South African researchers and artists have been able to spend part of their academic careers at a Swiss institution thanks to a Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship.
A brochure showcasing some of the highlights of the cooperation arrangement since the conclusion of the bilateral agreement is due to be published in the near future. The number of Swiss-South African publications has increased fourfold in the period between 2004 and 2014.

School Nutrition
It is the mission of the Crawford County School Nutrition Program to be a partner in the educational process by providing high quality meals and nutrition education opportunities for students that promote healthy children, ready to learn.
The Crawford County Board of Education (CCBOE) will return to paid and traditional eligibility for free and reduced student lunches in Crawford County Schools starting August 5, 2019. The number of Crawford County Students who are considered directly certified (DC) has dropped significantly since 2015. This reduction in DC has made the Community Eligibility Program (CEP) non sustainable. With breakfast being the most important meal of the day, the CCBOE has elected to continue serving breakfast at no charge to students. The overall goal for the Crawford County School Nutrition Program is to be self-funded, and change is required to attain that goal. Since August 2015, the CEP extended meals to all students at no charge.
To allow time for free and reduced price meal applications to be received and processed, all students will eat lunch at no charge through the end of August or until an application is received.
Effective August 5, 2019, the rates for school meals are as follows:
Breakfast Free at all schools
Lunch Eagle's Nest and Elementary students $2.00
Middle and High students $2.00
Reduced price meals $.40
