Investment set to boost area
Last updated at 13:54, Tuesday, 27 March 2012
MULTI-BILLION pound investment on the West Coast of Cumbria will also benefit Furness, the head of Britain's Energy Coast has said.
Tom Gilroy, acting chief executive of the organisation, said he hopes that up to £100bn will be invested in the West Coast economy.
He told a meeting of the Boosting Barrow and Furness Group that partnerships between the Energy Coast and businesses in Furness would benefit everyone.
He said: "I see Barrow as being a very, very important part of the partnerships that we are trying to develop.
"I had a meeting with Jackie Arnold (BAE Systems Submarine Solution's head of financial governance and strategy) and Terry Waiting (from Keep Our Future Afloat Campaign). We had a good clear discussion, where we talked and tried to develop partnerships.
"I think between us, if we can work together and get some positivity going, then we can make a difference and punch above our weight down in Westminster."
Mr Gilroy said projects such as the proposed MOX plants and underground nuclear storage could bring up to £100bn into the Cumbrian economy, and that businesses in Barrow could benefit from this investment.
Chairman of the group, Tim Bell, asked Mr Gilroy if Energy Coast was able to invest in businesses in Barrow.
Mr Gilroy replied that government legislation prevented this, but this would not prevent businesses from being able to gain on the back of successes in the West Coast.
He said: "If they were going to be doing the work in West Cumbria, then the answer to your question would be yes.
"We don't see that as any reason why we can't collaborate."
Mr Gilroy unveiled a blueprint which revealed four areas of investment opportunity for the Energy Coast: optimising nuclear investment, diversification through innovation, supporting infrastructure and growing the area's asset base.
Mr Gilroy also expressed his delight at the news that Glaxo SmithKline is to build a new £350m factory at its site in Ulverston.
He said: "The announcement was absolutely fabulous news for this area.
"We may well be 20 to 30 miles up the coast, but we are really pleased as well."

In removing the old element I discovered that one wire had completely separated from the connection to the element. I fished out the wire, clipped off the old, burnt out connector, crimped and reattached a new connector and connected to the new element. This was a very easy job. The hardest part was determining which switch at the electrical panel corresponded to the oven.

A Correspondent
KATTAPPANA: In an effort to prevent diseases from spreading to wild animals of the Periyar Tiger Reserve (PTR), forest officials have initiated steps to control the entry of stray dogs into the reserve.
The personnel from Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) are catching stray dogs and taking them to safer places. "This will continue for a few days," said Georgy P. Mathachen, Deputy Director, PTR, on Tuesday.
He said that certain diseases like the Foot-and-mouth disease are spreading from domestic animals to wild animals.
Moreover, the Mullapeiryar dam, which is the only source of drinking water to the wildlife in the PTR, is highly polluted.
It had been noticed that the slaughter houses and hotels in Kumily were dumping waste to the Mullaperiyar. The water in the dam was found to be polluted during the summer season.
The PTR had been taking strict measures to prevent the entry of animals and carriers of diseases inside the forest. According to sources, the monkeys living around the entry point in Thekkady had become easy carriers of diseases and the stray dogs had attacked the tourists.
Mr. Mathachen said that it had taken serious measures to protect wild animals in the PTR like vaccinating the animals which live in the buffer zones.

Indeed they had! =]
Im really just a guy who enjoys drawing and is trying to expand my creative skills. At the moment, i am also self-teaching 3Ds max and Zbrush. If you have any questions or crits for my work, feel free to contact me. // ZitaX
Indeed they had! =]
WOW! Amasing artwork!
Double post. Sorry.
Awesome to see a new update! Best of luck with everything!
Now, im gonna head to the Guard Duty page as well :D
NOW THAT! Thats what im talking about! AWESOME WORK!
Definitly your best concept so far! Looks very very good!
Useful links for aspiring concept artists.
Conceptart.org forums:
Crimson Daggers study group:
Also, feel free to visit my sketchbook and post your own sketchbooks.
Maybe he's planning on cosplaying as Santa Claus and giving us Episode 3 for christmas? Santa Gabe!
Excellent artwork! Very inspiring!
Cool. Just wondering! :)
If you ever get one, be sure to let me know!
Hey. I was wondering if you got a user at conceptart.org? Maybe you got a sketchbook there?
Do what feels best for you.
Just try to do simple stuff first. It's always good to keep repeating the basics for a while. Do some pencil studies of photos or some pencil still lifes. That will teach you to render better with a pencil.
Also, keep studying things such as anatomy and perspective and similar.
It's good that you are so productive and dedicated, but you don't have to post absolutely everything you do.
Pick out a few really good sketches and spend more time on them instead of just posting a whole bunch of quick sketches. Take the chance to practice rendering with pencil and stuff like that.
Do landscape studies and apply them to your enviroments. Also, read up on perspective, horisontal lines and similar!
Cool stuff!
WW1 is more interesting then WW2 if you ask me! I'd love to see more WW1 stuff in games, movies etc
One of my favorite concept artists! He's been a huge inspiration to me since I first decided to start with digital art! It's great to see him on your team!
Great art (as always with JesusFood)! This should be the Main Menu in the game if you ask me!
I've always admired Jesusfood's work! Amasing concept art!
Very good update!
Nice use of traditional media! Making studies and applying them to your work will help you improve, so keep it up!
You should get a sketchbook at www.conceptart.org while your at it!
Agree! Nice work!
OMFG mr Sugar! It worked! Lets make sure ...
BMS IS DEAD! The mod is cancelled! Black Mesa is Dead!
Sorry, don't got time. But your probably know best yourself anyway.
If you want to see good concept art, then visit the galleries at www.conceptart.org
I dont really understand what you mean now. Witch concepts/artist do you mean?
Whatever feels best for you.
I only use photoshop, pencils and color pencils. Works best for me.
Your best enviroment so far!
Really nice work!
Thanks a lot man! Im really trying to get better at rendering atm.
Your stuff is also looking better and better! Keep it up!
Amazing! Is it from life?
Cool stuff! Looking forward to release!
Awesome artwork! Thumbs up!
Looking really good! Gotta re download this mod some day!
Wow! Awesome work!
Maybe he hides out in one of thoose old buildings you like to explore (I read on your profile) haha :P
Thanks btw!
Thanks man! Im trying to improve and learn everyday! :)
Very nice depth and atmosphere! Thumbs up!
Looking really good! I like what I see so far!
Looks really good!
Wow! Amazing work! I love watercolors!
Thoose smoke effects are absolutely delicious!! This looks awesome!
Great artwork man! You have made some great improvments!
Keep it up! :D
Nice! The houndeyes are no match for the awesome new combine soldiers!
Nice art man!
Great job! I can't wait to try out oil colours myself!
Thumbs up for this painting!
Really nice! I like it!
You got some good ambition! Keep studying the fundamentals such as perspective and similar.
Nice artwork man!
Nice one iQew!
Starting to really kick *** my man!
Cool outfit!
Thanks, and I agree! Should have put some more work into there.
I'll think about it next time! ;)
Of course it helps to know traditional art as well, and i absolutely agree that it's essential to learn the foundations and fundamentals etc.
That said, traditional artist who work in the concept art industry almost always know how to produce digital art as well, so it's really very necessary to learn atleast the basics of both.
There is not a single game studio in the world that will hire an artist who can't use photoshop. Pencil concept art and traditional concept art pretty much stopped in the late 90s because digital art is a faster method witch can also produce a better result. Keep using photoshop and become real good at it!
Sorry to sound mean, but it's the truth.

She likes to play Magic the gathering
Thanks! :D
Nice style! Looks good!
Nice! Great improvement! Keep it up!
Correct! Younger version. =)
The T-rex looks like it partyed hard last night!
Everything looks great! Map and models are all cool :D
Cool! Nice details!
Could you give me some advice on how to paint a star-filled space like that?
Dat ***!
Looking good! Keep up the good work!
I've learnt most by reading on www.conceptart.org. I have also read a lot in a HUGE collection of art books that i've downloaded (i'll send a download link in a PM to you, can't post the link here :P).
Not bad, but you should try to make more studies of things such as perspective, horisontal lines etc. Some of thoose things seem a bit of atm. Also, do individual studies of clouds, lightning, water and similar. Keep it up!
Thanks man! Gotta get good with drawing blonde ladies!
Thanks man!
Just amasing! Looks like lightning from Crysis!
Looks nice! Great job!
Thanks again! :)
Yeah, this year has been crazy art-wise! Had a lot of time to practice/do studies so im glad it's starting to show!
Now, time to prepare to learn as much as possible in 2012!
Thanks man!
Strongly agree! I will probably get more out of this game then most mainstream games released theese days!
Will purchase for sure!
The style is cool, and the anatomy seems pretty decent over all, but the knife is sorta ... flotaing on his hand, witch sadly looks pretty poorly drawn. Fix that and the concept will actually look pretty damn good!
I draw it with a tablet in Photoshop
Thanks man! ;]
Seems like a really unique and creative mod! Really looking forward to it!
Thanks for the advice! Gonna check it out!
Thanks man!
Yes I did, and thanks man! ;)
Cool! All the mindworld concept art is a huge source of inspiration to me when it comes to Enviroment concept art! Nice job!
Feels weird to think that someone could quit a job in the gaming industry (Especially considering that so many modders spend hours and hours every day practicing their skills so that they may one day get a job there) ...
But I guess that the charm with the whole industry might be kinda, well, short-lived once you get there? Not as creative as people seem to think perhaps.
Nice artwork man!
Im having a hard time to see what this is supposed to look like ...
I bet he's fapping and crying at the same time!
First = No life ...
Nice to see some traditional methods used here! Nice work!
Nice! Hope to see more of this mod soon!
Thanks, pic is old though ... Maybe i should try to make a new version someday ...
Nice! Great use of diffirent medias!
Wonderful skybox!
Damn! Has it been 10 years allready?? Where did all the time go? Feels like it was yesterday that i was playing it for the first time ...
Happy Birthday to Blue Shift! And also, awesome media release!
Marv thinks you got one damn fine coat! =P
Nice one!
Thanks man! Cadee is on her way, just finishing up some wastelander concepts before that! =]
Thanks for the CC man! It always helps me improve.
Sounds good! Can I sign up somewhere as an extra?
Amasing! I wonder if they need any extras ... Well, only one way to find out, I guess :)
Why hello there ....
All of the hints :P But "spot all the robbers" works as well!
Not enough details? Or?
Nice one!
Simply AMASING! =D
Cool, a publicly-released alpha! ...
Nah, just kidding :P Good luck in the future! Looking awesome as usual!
Bodybuilder-neck hood! O_o
Looks good, but it isn't really necessary to post so many screens of the same character.
Incredible 3D work! You got some awesome skills! =)
"Though some parts seem... a little out of proportion. >.<"
What parts do you mean if i may ask?
Amasing work in the last Media Release sir! =]
Nice work in the last update! You make really awesome maps :D
Looks amasing! Theese guys will so save my *** in-game!
Awesome! Looking forward to see the model :D

"Ammo is overrated! Twinkies will save the day!"
Nice concept art!
Cool, so is the model gonna look like this ingame?
Actually, it's conceptart from Guard Duty. Stolen of course!
Possibly the greatest media release i've ever seen! Great job on all your stuff! =)
Special mention to Ferapod this time! The concept art is absolutely amasing!
Great looking knife! Can't wait to stab some Black Ops! ^^
Great concept art! The model also turned out great :D
Great modeling and texturing work on all theese screenshots guys!
Amasing! The soundtrack makes it look very nice and proffesional! Great job!
I love the idea on how they actually use thoose batteries! It didn't make a lot of sense in the original! Great job with all theese concept pictures! =)
Looks like Stig got himself a good job after leading Operation Black Mesa, hehehe =P
Im all but certain! The man i saw, it was .... Gordon Freeman ... :O
Looks good! Nice to see that you learn a little here and there ^^
What program is this?
It's so fuzzy and cute! ^^
Looks interesting, i'll be tracking this.
Wow, this looks great, who made this?
Good to hear that your holding team meetings! It can be one of the most important aspects of a mod!
Have you made this?

"I like big butts and i cannot lie" ^^

Not bad!
Insects can do that =)
The gun looks really nice!
Nice to hear a progress report so soon =) Can't wait to see what this mod might bring!
WOW! The story seems really good and interesting! I have a few questions:
1. Are you going to fight the US military?
2. Wich (presumably american) town will you fight in?
Looking good! *Thumbs up*
You shouldnt use the crowbar. Why not an ironpipe or something similar?
Did you get my message?
Nice to hear. Best of luck, and can't wait to see what the future may bring!
Way cool :D
Thats sad. Been following this mod for quite a while, and it actually makes me feel sorrow to hear this!
Rest in Peace, Blue Shift 2!
Holy ****! Is the Beta out?? Damn my broken Gamingcomputer, gonna download it as soon as i get this fixed!
Needless to say, it all looks amasing! Yet another reason to buy BF 2142
Would be nice if this actually came out. Maybe some 7 hour war mods should join forces? In that way, at least one mod would be realesed!
Isnt this map upside down? as mah friend Robin kindly said?
Awesome! Can't bloody wait :D
Oh no!!! Not german O_O
Extremely nice update! I never been prouder to see the swedish flag!
Noo! Dammit! I was rly looking forward to this one!
I registered on the forum, but i can't activate my account :(
WOAH!!! I never thought i see the day when DAWN had an update O_o...
Cheese, i thought u were dead for sure. Well, seeing that you are back made my day :D
Awesome! Does he have a deviantart or similar, except for the site you have linked?
Im going to be cool 8)
Nice mapshots :)! Great work!
Awesome work!
Very nice lightning! Great job!
Oh, looks very good!
I can't understand hackers, i simply can't. What good comes of destroying for other people, to ruin peoples work? What kind of GEEK find this sort of vandalism funny? Mr hacker, if you are reading this, try to understand one thing: Mods die of hackerattacks! You won't help anyone, neither yourself or other fans, by ruin other peoples work and property!
Downloaded it allready. Good job guys!
Wouldn't this kind of clothes be a little to hot to wear in the desert?
Sweet! Looking good fellows!
lol. Nice pose ^^
Your only 15, Mad? O_O... I thought you were atleast 20 :P... Well, what do ya know...
wow! I thought you were dead a long time ago. Nice to see that ur still going strong!
Sounds nice, altough, you should never promise demos on specific dates *Looks at Blue Shift 2* <_<
Hooray! No english!
Well... it depends...
Sometimes, school/work eats up a lot of time, and many people have lifes outside the computer... I try to spend atleast 1 hour or so per day (not right now though, since school is taking so much time).
One thing i don't get: U had everything u needed, coders, mappers, modelers etc... and still... The mod died?
He does a thumbs up :P...
Pretty nice concept actually, but there should be more details.
Awww... he looks sad /=)
Theres allready a Gunman-mod i development... U should merge!
THATS more like it! Good work!
COH? City of Heroes??
Is this the mod that was posted on www.blackmesasource.com?
OMG!!!! Nice work, but if there are things missing, i suggest that you wait until they are done before realesing anything...
They were active for like... 3 days... Then they died :S...
Wonderful model!
Another one will hit the dust :P
Collaborator looks great!
Nooo! ... Well...-1 mod to watch :(
A little to cloose for comfort for that Elite-Combine ^^
Nice one! Keep up the good work!
This looks really good! Good work!
Well, my first impression is: Interesting! VERY interesting! With the right crew, this can turn out to be something EXTRA-ordinary.
I can really imagine it, and who knows, maybe this will make ppl that play The Sims to buy Half-Life 2. My advice to you is:
1. Write EXACTLY wich kind of ppl you are looking for. Noone ever joins a mod that says "Hey, anyone wanna help me, plz!!1!!1". Post everything u want in the Help Wanted section, that way, ppl will also be able to see it on the front page.
2. Change ur text a bit, for example: Write a possible scenario in the mod. Also, make sure that your spelling is correckt and that it looks profesional.
The Absolute Best of Luck!
Not very much armor, but i guess that it will be changed.
OMG, hes got no face :D
Looking good :)
Great story! Im looking forward to hear more from this mod. But is this really MultiPlayer, sounds more like an singleplayer mod to me.
Does the Half-Life 2 zombies eat humans?? i didn't even know they had a mouth...
Maybe a few wounds in the face would be good to show that hes been through ruff times.
Will there be any new models or so in this mod?
Firts thought: WOW! Do u guys work for a gamedeveloper or something. This is one of the most promising mods i ever seen, seriously! Excellent work!
Very interesting. Im looking forward to hear more from this mod (and i might even apply for one of the jobs). Best of luck!
Great news!! I can hardly wait for this one! U have done an excellent job! :D

OMB: Agencies HSPD-12 postings improve
GAO: HSPD-12 program needs clear goals
The security badge for the future
Civilian agencies should think about access from a cross-government perspective, said Michael Mestrovich, president of the Federation for Identity and Cross Credentialing System (FiXs).FiXs is a coalition of commercial companies, government contractors and other organizations that want to set up a worldwide network for establishing interoperable identities and cross-credentialing.FiXs proposition: If agencies agree on a common model for authenticating individuals, they can avoid duplicating work when employees move from one building or system to another. Why go through the whole authentication process if another agency has already done the work?However, for that approach to work, civilian agencies must come to terms with one another and the Defense Department on a common authentication process, Mestrovich said.Until they get that trust model set up between themselves and the DOD, nothing else is going to matter, said Mestrovich, president and chief executive officer of Unlimited New Dimensions. Civilian agencies are supposed to be working towards one, but weve not seen it yet.The FiXs approach could save civilian agencies money and provide for interoperability of credentials, said Bob Martin, director of identity management and assurance at American Systems.It provides a common platform for authentication, which is where the savings come in, Martin said. At the same time, it would allow agencies to apply their own authorization at the local level.Agencies also must agree on a governance process for collaborating, Mestrovich said. Ongoing collaboration should enable them to resolve problems that crop up, decide on interoperability standards, establish and manage system architectures, devise testing procedures, and develop security and privacy policies.Mestrovich said FiXs could go a long way toward helping agencies work together, but agencies will need time to reach that goal. There are still wide cultural gaps and many personality issues to overcome. Brian Robinson
Based on the Defense Departments early experience using personal identity verification cards to merge physical and information security solutions, DOD officials and other experts suggest civilian agencies keep the following points in mind.n Start with a plan. The plan should address the deployment strategy, expected benefits and anticipated problems.n Get top-level support. Grass-roots efforts are good in concept, but high-level officials often need to step in and push things along.n Pay attention to local differences. Agencies should assess the state of technology at each site to identify potential snags that could hinder deployment.n Know whos in and whos out. Even if agencies have an identity management system in place, managers should re-evaluate the ability of those systems to handle the coming volume of Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 identification cards.n Start small. Experts say civilian agencies should follow DODs example of conducting, small, focused test projects before broadly deploying converged security solutions.

Was feeding among a large stand of Red larkspur, so I got a few minutes to capture many blurred photos of this beauty. :)
Reddest ones of the many I saw blooming in the woods.
Small flock (I'd guess 6) high in trees.
With young on back.

Only saw this one caterpillar, but enjoyed watching a few adults flutter by.
Many woodland stars today.
About 1/2 of these have dropped their petals.

Duodenogastric reflux after surgery increases the risk of gastric carcinoma. To determine whether bile reflux influences the development of gastric cancer in patients who have not had surgery, we compared cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) immunoreactivity in early gastric cancer originating from the gastric pylorus and that originating from other locations. We also examined the effects of bile acids on the expression and activity of COX-2 in gastric cells in vitro.
Tumor sections from 79 patients who underwent endoscopic mucosal resection for early intestinal-type gastric carcinoma were stained using a COX-2-specific monoclonal antibody. Immunoblotting of COX-2 was used to assess the effects of bile acids on COX-2 expression and activity in human gastric cell lines.
Among the 79 early gastric cancer lesions studied, 13 (16%) arose in the gastric pylorus. In this group, COX-2 immunoreactivity was negative to weak in 38% (5 of 13 lesions) and moderate to strong in 62% (8 of 13 lesions). In the control group, COX-2 immunoreactivity was negative to weak in 70% (46 of 66 lesions) and moderate to strong in 30% (20 of 66 lesions). COX-2 expression was significantly elevated in early gastric cancer located in the gastric pylorus, compared with that in the other locations. In human gastric cell lines, bile acids induced COX-2 expression, mediated by the ERK 1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway.
COX-2 expression is elevated in early gastric cancer of the gastric pylorus, a common site of gastric cancer. Bile acids induced COX-2 expression in human gastric cell lines, suggesting a role of bile reflux in gastric carcinogenesis.

Homemade Comfrey Ointment for Bruises, Bumps and Scrapes Part 1
March 11, 2015
Some of the best remedies come from common weeds. I have a weed called Comfrey growing in my garden – she's actually quite a beautiful plant – large, soft fuzzy leaves, and purple flowers that curl into a spiral. Comfrey is also called knitbone or boneset – giving away one of its therapeutic uses – helping broken bones to heal!
Comfrey is an amazing healer. It contains a chemical called allantoin which helps the body's cells to replicate and seal over wounds and scrapes. It is so effective at doing this, that you must be careful not to use it on deep wounds, otherwise the surface will heal up and the wound will still be open below. Comfrey should only be used externally as the plant chemicals it contains can be toxic to the liver.
I'm making an ointment with comfrey specifically for minor scrapes, cuts, bumps, bruises and sprains. I thought I would do it in two parts so that you can buy some herbs and make it with me. I think its really lovely being able to make your own natural remedies from scratch to keep in your home apothecary – especially if you are able to grow your own herb to use in the preparations. It makes me feel so chilled and connected to nature doing this – it's a little bit magical don't you think?
Even thought I have comfrey in the garden, it is still quite a small plant so for this preparation I bought some dried comfrey leaf online and went from there. You can use both the leaf and root for this ointment – the root has much stronger alkaloids in there.
Where to get the herbs
If you're in Australia, you can order dried comfrey leaf or root from Austral Herbs here.
If you're in New Zealand, you can place an order here from Cottage Hill Herbs in Wellington and receive a courier in a few days.
If you're in the U.S you can order from Mountain Rose Organics here.
If you are lucky enough to have your own growing, make sure you are able to correctly identify the plant before you harvest, then dry the leaves till there is no moisture left – if it isn't completely dry, you may find your oil ferments.
Finally, to keep this simple, I've only used the one herb in this infusion, but two others that will go particularly well as an ointment to heal minor bumps, scratches and wounds are Calendula (Calendula officinalis) and Plantain (Plantago major). Plantain is common and grows all over the world – earning the nickname 'white man's footsteps' as it spread so rapidly. Both plantain and comfrey are also really good at drawing out splinters – my Dad recently got a large, deep splinter in his finger, that we just couldn't pick out. He was going to go to the doctors to get it removed! I picked a comfrey leaf from the garden and made it into a simple poultice – I tore it up and gave it a bit of a grind in the mortar and pestle till the juices were flowing, then popped it over the splinter and covered it with a bandaid.
We changed the poultice a couple of times but eventually it softened the skin and drew out the splinter. Clever little plant!
Comfrey (Symphyton officinale) Infused Oil
This will be your base for the Comfrey Ointment.
1x 500ml glass jar with an airtight lid
Dried comfrey leaf and/or root, enough to pack the jar with (I think I used close to 50g)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (you could also use almond, or coconut – liquify the coconut oil first), enough to fill the jar (I think I used just under 2 cups)
- Pack your dried herb into the glass jar, filling it right to the top.
- Pour your oil over the top, again, right to the very, very top.
- Tap the jar on a hard surface lightly – this is just to remove any air bubbles, then screw the lid on tight.
- Clearly label the jar with the herb and date, then place in a cool dark place for 6 weeks to let it infuse.
- Every couple of days or even once a week, give the jar a good shake up to make sure the oil is getting through to all of the dried herb.
That's it for now! There is a second, shorter method for infusion, but I'll cover that off with Part 2 of this post. So if you'd like to follow along, order some herbs and prepare your infusion, and see you in six weeks!

Love this! Thank you. It will definitely come in handy at my house xx
Very interesting and valuable. At least to know or suggest to someone who can have access to this plant. tks
Olive leaf for viral infections + Avocado and Herb Stuffed Mushrooms
March 7, 2015
It's been one of those full on weeks and I've been feeling a little bit less than great lately thanks to an annoying viral infection. Oh yeah, that's right, I'm not a superhuman… Funny how such a small critter like a virus can humble you! It's just a signal to slow down and amp up the self-care really.
So I may not be superhuman, but Mother Nature most definitely is, and I'm going to share a potion I whipped up to kick that annoying virus's hairy butt.
I learned this on my Herbal Apprenticeship actually, we spent the weekends in the bush, and one Saturday, our Herbal teacher had hauled an absolute mountain of dried olive tree (Olea europea) branches into the cottage. She had harvested them from a lovely clean area of lush bush out in the Waitakeres.
We took a pair of garden scissors to it and cut the leaves, twigs, and thicker branches into small pieces, and then made a lovely rich infusion with it. We also took bundles of the herbal gold home, so lucky for me I still had some in my cupboard to use this week.
Olive leaf is one of the best natural anti-viral and immune boosting herbal remedies we have access to. It is able to prevent the virus from replicating in the body and is a general tonic to the immune system. In fact, you will most likely find it sold at the health food store as a syrup, and it can get quite expensive.
It isn't just the leaf that has therapeutic benefits though, the branches are also therapeutic. So if you can find yourself a nice olive tree growing in an area free from pollution and any sprays, then this is what you do…
Take a sturdy pair of garden scissors and cut a few big branches off. Snip, snip, snip the olive leaves and branches into small pieces (about an inch or so) – sometimes the branches will be quite thick and strong so you need to put a little muscle in it.
From here, you'll be making an infusion on the stove top to sip throughout the day. Fill a pot with hot water, bring it to a boil and add all of your plant material. Let it simmer for quite a while – I left mine for over an hour. A more accurate term for this would be a herbal decoction rather than an infusion – infusions are best suited to plant material that is more delicate such as petals and leaves, whereas a decoction, or, a longer infusion, is one that will allow the constituents in the harder plant material (such as the branches or root) to be extracted into the water.
I sipped on this infusion throughout the day, perhaps two to three cups' worth. Olive leaf has a really pleasant taste – quite distinct – and preparing it as an infusion this way tastes simply like a less processed version of the store bought syrups (and free!). I guess it is perhaps just a little bitter.
One nice practice to consider when you go to harvest, is to ask the plant permission before picking it (you can just do this silently in your head), and only ever take what you need. If you like, you can take a small offering to exchange with the plant for her medicine.
If you want to harvest a larger amount and save this for later, you can dry it then store it in a paper bag. As long as it has no moisture left in it, it will be fine like this for quite some time.
So there you go, a super delicious and immune-boosting virus-busting homemade infusion that will cost you nothing to make!
Well, that was a bit of a digression, but now we're onto the recipe for the week, Avocado and Herb stuffed Mushrooms.
In keeping with theme, mushrooms are actually incredibly valuable for the immune system also.
Many of the medicinal mushrooms in particular (reishi, chaga) nourish the immune system, and are classed as adaptogens in Herbal Medicine as they help the body to better adapt to the stressors in life. However, the humble common edibles have plenty to offer themselves. Mushrooms are a great source of minerals and B vitamins, and are perhaps the only known food source to contain vitamin D, albeit in small amounts.
This recipe is very easy to prepare and amazing served with a giant salad and a side of plant based protein – tempeh, lentils, beans.
Drop in again to check the blog later in the week, I'm sharing how to prepare another simple herbal remedy for your home apothecary. This time we're making a comfrey ointment that is used topically for bumps, sprains, bruises and minor scrapes. The first step is to make a herbal infused oil which will become the base for the ointment/salve, and this is what I'll be showing you first up, so we can make it together!
Avocado and Herb Stuffed Mushrooms
4 large Portobello mushrooms
½ a large avocado
2 slices gluten free bread (brown)
Large handful of fresh mixed garden herbs – rosemary, parsley, mint, oregano, sorrel, thyme
½ small red chilli
Zest of one lemon
Olive oil + balsamic vinegar
- Pre heat the oven at 180˚C.
- Slice the avocado and place two slices of each within each mushroom (as in one of the above photos).
- In a food processor, tear the bread up and blitz with the herbs and chilli to make the crumb stuffing.
- Fill each of the mushrooms with the mixture and sprinkle lemon zest over the top, drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until done.
- When cooked, drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Great served with grilled tomatoes and rocket salad.
Sugar Free Flavoured Milks
February 21, 2015
A few decades ago, the low fat message for heart health was born and has since been adopted as the golden rule of nutrition – but have we got it all wrong? Actually – as you may have noticed – this is a hot topic in the media at the moment and there is a lot of hotly debated research for both camps going on.
What we do know, however, is that with the message of low fat, came a whole heap of added sugars.
Take a look down your supermarket isle, and I'm sure you'll see many a product proudly labeled 'low-fat' and 'fat-free'.
The makers of these products were faced with a dilemma when these new guidelines came out – fat tastes good – and if they removed most or all of the fat from their products – what were they to put in its place? The answer of course, is sugar. Cheap, readily available, and highly refined. This rise in added sugars is perhaps the single biggest health trap we have fallen down, and with serious consequence.
Sugars are thus hidden in many processed foods (cereals, snack bars, yoghurts, ice creams, frozen meals, pizzas…), and today I'm using flavoured milks as just one example. Typically, a small carton of chocolate milk can contain as much sugar as a can of soft drink! Sneaky!
A small can of coke (355ml) contains about 10 teaspoons of sugar (38g) and a smaller 250ml carton of Nippy's flavoured milk contains around 7 teaspoons (28g).
The World Health Organisation currently recommends that not more than 10% of your daily calories come from free sugars (added sugars) – this would equal about 12 level teaspoons for an average adult, though they have recently been reviewing this and pushing for a new limit of just half that amount – to below 5%.
Whilst we need quality carbohydrates in our diets (think whole grains), we don't actually need any free sugar, and excess consumption is linked to a range of health problems such as obesity, Type-2 Diabetes and tooth decay. Tooth decay by the way is the most prevalent non-communicable disease (non-infectious or not spread from person to person) globally – and it is preventable. Finally sugar is also incredibly inflammatory and just outright bad news for any of us with auto-immune conditions.
In general – if you are going to buy something in a packet – and it says 'low-fat' – think to yourself – so what's in its place? Turn it over and read the label. Look at the sugars listed under the carbohydrates. If its under 5g per 100g then it is considered low sugar, but if its low fat or fat free, this is where all added sugar is revealed. Out sneak them. Make it at home from scratch, or choose products with no added sweeteners.
In all honesty, there is not a single product or recipe out there that you can't recreate at home using whole foods and natural sweeteners that come packaged up with other goodies like vitamins, minerals and fibre (will this statement come back to bite me?! I'm up for the healthy food make over challenge!).
So have a read of all these super easy alternatives to making yummy flavoured milks at home (also note, you may have noticed I'm not a fan of dairy, so I've firstly included a basic nut milk recipe):
First, make a yummy nut milk:
- Soak 1 cup of nuts or seeds (cashews, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds – if you use sesame or hemp seeds however they don't need soaking).
- Add to a blender with 1 cup of shredded coconut (optional, but this makes it far creamier) and 4 cups of water, blend well.
- Drain the milk through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth, discard the pulp.
- Blend again with a small pinch of pink Himalayan Rock Salt and a little vanilla.
Boom. Dairy free milk.
To sweeten, use a little of any of these:
- Medjool date
- Maple syrup / honey (small amounts)
- Coconut nectar
- A dash of rice malt syrup
- A teaspoon of xylitol (totally sugar free sweetener derived from the Birch tree)
Then flavour it naturally with these:
- Fresh or frozen berries
- Pomegranate seeds
- A whole vanilla bean
- Raw cacao powder
- Carob powder
- A teaspoon of mesquite powder
- A teaspoon of lucuma powder
- Medjool date as the sweetener (they naturally have a caramel-esque taste – yummo)
- Pinch of turmeric (just for colour)
- Half a banana
- Teaspoon of lucuma powder
- Teaspoon of bee pollen
- A whole vanilla bean
- Raw cacao powder
- Carob powder
- A teaspoon of instant coffee dissolved in hot water, or, if you are avoiding caffeine (yes! Go you!), try using a dandelion / chicory based herbal coffee instead
- A teaspoon of cinnamon powder
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Tiny pinch of cardamom
- A whole vanilla bean
- Tiny pinch of Himalayan sea salt
- Bonus – try making the milk with pistachios
Chocolate Mint:
- A handful of freshly picked mint
- Half a teaspoon of spirulina or barley grass powder (for extra added colour)
Aphrodisiac Bliss Balls
February 13, 2015
Ok lovers, a little something special for Valentine's Day. This is a pretty simple bliss ball recipe that has some special aphrodisiac and tonic herbs added to the mix. They may be nice to enjoy after dinner and before bed, wink wink.
Oh, the irony of me making these – with a long-distance love! Anyway, I'm sure you will enjoy them for me.
Damiana (Turnera diffusa), a small shrub with yellow star shaped flowers, from Central America, is a lovely herb with a well known and ancient reputation as an aphrodisiac, despite it actually not been scientifically proven. It is perhaps best known more as a male tonic, though it enhances libido (and stamina) for both men and women, and in fact, is often found in various supplements sold in sex stores.
Damiana has also traditionally been used as a muscle relaxant and as a tonic for the nervous and endocrine systems. This means a herbalist may use it in treating conditions such as nervousness, anxiety, depression and menstrual irregularities.
I found damiana quite easily in a natural foods store, as the whole dried herb. A spice or coffee grinder will easily turn it into a fine powder (this is how it is used for this recipe), although I used a high powered blender and that worked fine too.
You can of course also enjoy it as a tea – I find it has a slightly stimulating effect so it makes it a little harder to fall asleep!
I've used maca powder in lots of my recipes – it is one of my personal favourites. A root vegetable that grows high in the Andes, it is well known as an adaptogen (a term used to describe how a plant will help a person better adapt to stress). Maca is great for balancing out your hormones (actually – this is why I love it so much – it definitely takes the edge off PMS), gives you energy, stamina, endurance, and boosts libido. I take a tablespoon in my smoothies for breakfast, but its earthy taste works great in baking (and un-baking!) too.
Chia seeds
Ok – so not an aphrodisiac at all – but these nutrient dense, protein packed seeds will give you lasting energy and endurance, not a bad thing to add to an Aphrodisiac Bliss Ball, no?
One last fun tid bit – vanilla beans come from a special variety of the orchid flower, and were believed by the Ancient Mayans to have powerful aphrodisiac qualities.
I'd say we have one pretty potent recipe right here! Hope you enjoy them,
Aphrodisiac Bliss Balls
Makes about 14
1 cup coconut, desiccated
1 ½ cups almond meal
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon coconut nectar
½ banana (about 62g)
¼ cup chia seeds (I used white)
½ teaspoon beet powder (optional – for a pink colour)
½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
1 tablespoon Damiana, powdered
2 tablespoons maca powder
1 teaspoon orange zest
½ cup coconut flakes
+ extra orange zest and shredded coconut to roll in
- Add all ingredients except the orange zest and coconut flakes, to a food processor and blitz to combine.
- Add the zest and larger coconut flakes for a quick pulse.
- Roll into equal sized balls.
- Cover a small plate with shredded coconut and extra orange zest, and roll the balls to coat them.
- These are best kept in the fridge as they have fresh banana in them.

Green Quinoa Salad
February 6, 2015
This plant powered meal is easy to prepare and super satisfying. If you are cooking for guests, adding toasted nuts and seeds and freshly cut micro greens will dress it up perfectly.
I love how these beautiful gluten free grains (or pseudo-grains) are alkalizing to the body and provide such a vast array of nutrients.
Quinoa, the 'Mother Grain', is a good source of calcium and iron. It also contains phosphorus for healthy bones, the antioxidant vitamin E, and B vitamins.
One cup of cooked quinoa gives you about 8g of quality protein, providing all the essential amino acids.
Green Quinoa Salad
1 cup quinoa
Half an avocado
Handful of coriander
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
One zucchini, grated
Large handful of fresh herbs: mint, parsley, oregano
One stalk of celery, finely chopped
¼ cup sunflower seeds
¼ cup pine nuts
Micro greens
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Pop the quinoa in a sieve and rinse well, then add to 2 cups of cold water in a pot, bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
- In a hand held stick blender, blitz the avocado, coriander, olive oil and salt to make a green sauce.
- Fold this through the cooked quinoa with the zucchini, fresh herbs and celery.
- Gently toast the sunflower seeds and pine nuts, then sprinkle over the quinoa salad.
- Top with freshly picked micro greens and fresh herbs, season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Assassination Target
|Chapter 1
|Episode 1
|Japanese Voice

Korosensei is the homeroom teacher for Class 3-E of Kunugigaoka Junior High School, and the main antihero of Assassination Classroom. He is responsible for gouging out a large chunk of the moon, making it a permanent crescent moon. As if it's not adequate; he plans to destroy the earth after "teaching" class 3-E for a year.
Korosensei has the appearance of an octopus. He is about three meters tall, and has a large, bulbous head with a large smile and small, beady eyes. He uses two feelers as arms, with two fingers each, and uses the rest of his tentacles to walk with. He wears a black academic dress, a small black square academic cap with a yellow tassel, and a black tie with a yellow crescent-shaped moon on it.
The color of Korosensei's face changes depending on his mood, and is as follows:
- Yellow/Green = Happy, Emotionless
- Yellow and Green Stripes = Mockery
- Orange with a Red Circle = Correct Answer
- Purple with a Dark Purple X = Incorrect Answer
- Pink = Sleepy
- Purple = Shock/Panic
- Blue = Sadness
- Red = Anger
- Black = Extreme Anger
Korosensei is very smart to the point that he can teach almost every subject by himself. He likes sweets.[1]He is also shown to be a very perverted character, a trait he shares with his student Okajima.
One of Korosensei's attributes is the fact that he is able to connect to each student individually. This is the reason why all the students respect him despite the fact that he is going to blow up the Earth in a year.
Korosensei was born a human being. At some point before the events of the manga, he was a test subject at a research facility that studied tentacles. It was there that he met and befriended Aguri Yukimura. However, one day there was an explosion and Aguri became fatally injured. Her final wish to Korosensei was to teach her students (Class E), all the while thinking of what a wonderful teacher he will be.
Right before the start of the series, Korosensei destroyed 70% of the moon, forever leaving it in a crescent shape. Korosensei reveals to the world's leaders that he has decided to destroy the Earth as well the following year during March. He then tells the world leaders that he wants to become the homeroom teacher for Kunugigaoka Junior High School's Class 3-E. The world leaders accept the deal, hoping it will give them a chance to assassinate Korosensei; however, they also added another condition: he would not harm the students.
Later, Korosensei came with Karasuma, who was from the Ministry of Defense, to the front of Class-E and introduced himself. Karasuma explained the situation and demanded the students to assassinate the new homeroom teacher. As an example, he tried to assassinate Korosensei, but Korosensei used his mach 20 speed to dodge Karasuma's strikes, and even meticulously trimmed his eyebrows. After that, Karasuma revealed that the reward for killing him would be 10 billion yen, and Korosensei simply looked down on them while his skin became covered in green stripes. After Karasuma ended his explanation and showed the weapons, Korosensei declared that they should spend the last year in a meaningful fashion.
As Korosensei starts the attendance, he asks the one who is on day duty to issue command. Korosensei was then ambushed by his students with automatic rifles; however he dodges the bullets while doing the attendance. Korosensei is pleased that that there are no absentees; he was also ashamed that nobody could hit him. He tells them that they should devise a plan together. The students complain that even if he were to get hit by the BB pellet bullets, he would just endure it. Korosensei demonstrates that that BB bullets, created specially by America for harming him, are harmless to the students, but not to him and shoots his right feeler off; however, Korosensei regenerates his feeler back after a few seconds. He warns them not to use them indoors except for killing him. He then tells them that they will be able to kill him before graduation, and decides to tidy the class up.
Later he questions Kimura of which one of his four tentacles is the weird one, which Kimura responds that the blue tentacle is the odd one, and Korosensei is then pleased with his correct answer. He then catches a bullet with his chalk. He becomes red and punishes Nakamura, saying that her assassination meddles with her study. When lunchtime starts, Korosensei decides to go to China, while grading his student's tests. Korosensei later came back with a missile souvenir after having been ambushed by the self-defense in the Sea of Japan. Nagisa asks him if it was troublesome that he was targeted, but Korosensei tells him that he doesn't mind, and that it shows proof of his vast power.
The class starts again, and Korosensei decides to assign a poem, and the one who is finished should bring it to him. Korosensei was asked by Kayano what name they should refer him as; Korosensei tells her that they can decide. Korosensei sees Nagisa walking up deliver the letter. He was suddenly striked by him, but he easily blocked it. However, Nagisa retaliates with a BB pellet grenade, much to Korosensei's surprise; however Korosensei uses his shed skin to protect himself and Nagisa, which he can only use once a month. After revealing his ability, he turns black with extreme anger, and calls out the ringleaders of the BB pellet grenade. Korosensei then roams around town with his mach 20 speed and brought the nameplates from their houses. He tells the students: due to the agreement to not harm the students, if they try the same assassination method again, then he would anihilate anyone they know. He was questioned by Terasaka of the degree of the assassination, and Korosensei corrects him by saying that it was excellent and praises Nagisa for keeping a natural body movement. However, Korosensei gets angry, saying that they held no regard of Nagisa's life. He then advises them that they should use an assassination method that will make everyone happy and that they should use their hidden talents. After seeing a burn mark on a table he remembers the incident from his past. Korosensei then asks what they will do before he blows the Earth up, and Nagisa responds that they will kill him. Korosensei gets green stripes on his face, telling them that they can go home if they succeed in killing him now. After that, Kayano says the name she thought of for sensei: Korosensei.

Initially, the Chairman presented himself as Korosensei's superior and a major adversary. He made it a point to stand as a wall between Korosensei and his goals for improving Class E. However, Korosensei managed to overcome those blocks. It was revealed that they share many similarities in how they want to raise strong and capable students and how they are both "monsters" that dedicate themselves to teaching. In the end, Korosensei performed "maintenance" on the chairman and as of Chapter 126, their relationship is noticeably better with the chairman no longer standing as an adversary to him.
