How to make a homepage
All staff and PhD students have their own page, listed here. They all have a similar appearance, to give a unified and hopefully professional-looking departmental identity to visitors.
If you want to add more information, you can create a homepage, which you can design as you like, and link to it from your "official page".
This is not hard, but it's probably best to have read some documentation and have some experience of modifying your staff page or other pages before you create a new page.
Make a homepage
Your staff page sits in its own folder. You'll make your homepage in this folder. So start by navigating to your staff page. Click on the little cross at the bottom and after entering your UCL password, you'll be taken to the folder listing. You staff page is the index for this folder. If you have a problem it may be due to permissions. Please email Adam with your UCL username.
You can create a new page by clicking on "new" underneath you name in << >> brackets. Select "Silva Document". Give a short lower case id (something like "homepage" or "bob"), and a longer title (e.g. "Bob's Homepage"). Click on "save + enter".
You're now in the editor which you should have used before, with the title added at the top. Add some text. For now, it's probably best to stick with the same formatting as the Departmental site so keep the title at the top and label text as "plain", "heading", "sub", or use bold.
You can add links and images. Keep clicking "save".
Save and publish your homepage
When you're happy, click save again and then click "public preview". This lets you see the page as it will be when you're published. Return to the editor by clicking the arrow icon at the top right. If you want to make further changes, do so. Once you're happy, click on "publish now". For the time being, the permissions are set so that any changes need to be authenticated before they go live on the website. That should be done within a day.
If you want to make further changes after your page has been published, remember to create a new version.
Link to your staff page
Finally, return to your staff page and link to your new page. At the bottom, under "Personal Details", you may find a homepage link already - that links to an existing page. If not, type a label like "homepage", "research details" or whatever you want to refer to your new page as, and create a link to your new page. When you click on "get link reference", you should see your new page there for you to select.
If you have any questions, please see UCL's guide and if you're still stuck, ask Adam.

An aerial picture of the WestHELP complex, in the woods at Westchester Community College's Knollwood Gate. / Courtesy of Greenburgh
It sounded like such a no-brainer. In exchange for supporting construction of the WestHELP homeless complex by Westchester Community Colleges Knollwood Gate, Greenburgh would win the right to rent those 108 apartments for 20 years once the shelter was closed.
WestHELP closed last fall. But a year after getting the keys, the town has yet to rent a single apartment. Prospects of doing so anytime soon appear dim.
On Wednesday, Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner suggested renting the apartments to disabled veterans.
Youd have no impact on the Valhalla schools, and they could use the administration building for rehab and classrooms, Feiner said. Im re-energized.
Well see whether Feiner can mobilize that energy to rent them.
Since the late 1980s, the battles over WestHELP have involved class, race and the public sectors commitment to housing for those in need.
The first year under Greenburghs aegis was ugly. The complex, whose mortgage was paid off in 2001 through state and county payments for the homeless, has lain vacant while Westchesters working poor scoured the classifieds in search of an apartment they could afford. Housing Action Council Executive Director Rose Noonan says thered be a strong market for efficiency apartments that rent for up to $800 a month.
For the past year, Feiner fought to tear down the apartments so Ferncliff Manor, a Yonkers agency, could build a center for the developmentally disabled.
The plan was a sop to Greenburghs Mayfair-Knollwood neighborhood, located through the dense woods south of the complex, which was so overwrought by the homeless complex in the late 1980s that it tried to secede from the town so it could halt construction, and keep the low-income minority residents away. Feiners plan garnered the support of County Executive Rob Astorino and team: communications director Ned McCormack, former Mayfair-Knollwood Civic Association president; and County Legislator Michael Smith, R-Greenburgh, whose wife serves as the associations co-president.
Democrat Feiners inroads with Astorino were remarkable, in light of the federal court order that Westchester build 750 affordable apartments in predominantly white communities and promote fair housing countywide. But Feiner failed to convince the county Board of Legislators, which laid aside Astorinos plan to raze the apartments for Ferncliff.
That leaves Greenburgh with 108 apartments to rent. Feiner is still searching for a path forward. First, he must accept that WestHELP wont remain the cash cow it was from 2001 to 2011, when Greenburgh received $1.2 million yearly without responsibilities for its upkeep.
Noonan says a management companys fee would range from 8 percent to 10 percent of its estimated annual income of $1 million. Then theres an onsite superintendent, who she estimated would be paid $35,000 plus an apartment. The town also would need funds to maintain the complex.
Greenburgh has done nothing to improve the apartments over the past year. It has yet to document what it would cost to get them ready to rent. Feiner says the $400,000 the town won from the Valhalla schools in a lawsuit over WestHELP wont be used to fix them up.
Noonan suggests the town consider the federal Low Income Tax Credit program, which has attracted private capital to fund myriad affordable projects here. But that program requires that units be affordable for at least 30 years, 11 years after the apartments return to county control. Such a county commitment seems improbable.
On Monday, Greenburgh plans to circulate a request-for-proposals to companies that could manage the complex. The document is a work in progress. In two versions viewed recently by Tax Watch, neither mentioned the complexs centerpiece its administration building with several offices, eight classrooms and a playground for children nor any details about the apartments that would be rented, such as the square footage, or amenities available for tenants.
We didnt even think of that, Feiner said. Ill throw that in. I like that idea. Thats why we are taking our time.

Valentine: 'People in baseball can't keep a secret'
Despite the news circulating that Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez had been claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier in the day -- news that manager Bobby Valentine said he saw scrolling across the bottom of his television -- Valentine said he spoke to general manager Ben Cherington this afternoon and there was no mention of it at all.
"There wasn't a mention of, 'Disregard it' or 'Who do you want' " Valentine said. "There wasn't any conversation, so I believe it's nothing more than the standard operational 'Guy gets claimed, it's a block not a trade and life goes on.' ''
What frustrated him, though, was was that news of a standard practice had in his eyes been leaked and blown out of proportion.
Valentine said:
Every player goes on these waivers during this month every player. The game is if someone really wants someone, they claim him and they try to make a trade. If someone doesn't want him and they don't want the player to go to another team then they'll claim him and really not try to make a trade. They'll say, 'Hey, we'll offer a bag of balls' and the conversation's over. Then the other team who wanted him can't get him. I guess that's the way the game's played. It's gone on forever.
The difference now is and I know we get blamed a lot in our clubhouse about who can keep a secret the problem now is that people in baseball can't keep a secret. This stuff is not supposed to be out, but obviously there's someone that's privy to the information who decides to let that stuff out. I guess it's stuff you can't combat, but it's not right.
Someone's trying to [say], 'Oh, we'll make their life miserable and let this one out.' I'll guarantee you there were 10 guys claimed in the last week. Maybe 20. Have we heard about 20 guys being claimed and going to different teams. Maybe there haven't been that many, but you would think that other guys get claimed.
Valentine said he expects to talk to Gonzalez about the situation face-to-face.
I'll see Adrian and I'll tell him how much I love him and want him and think that he should be here and he'll look at me and say, 'Oh, I wonder if that's true, I wonder if there's a trade brewing' until the whole thing is over and he is our player forever. It's all kind of BS."

Is there a more quintessentially Céline Dion song than "It's All Coming Back to Me Now"? Sure, "My Heart Will Go On" was a bigger hit, but that song would have been essentially the same hit for any number of other iron-lunged vocalists. It's on a song like "Coming Back" that Céline shows what happens when she really gives herself over to the crazy — and yet, comes out alive.
The song's original interpreters weren't so lucky. They were an all-female group called Pandora's Box, which tells you just about everything you need to know about them. Their only album was 1989′s Original Sin, and it seems to have existed for the sole purpose of demo-ing (in the sense of both demonstrating and demolishing) songs by producer Jim Steinman that would later be hits for other artists. In addition to Dion's "Coming Back," other songs were later performed by artists including Meat Loaf, Jennifer Hudson, and Taylor Dayne.
The original version of "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" featured piano by Roy Bittan (of the E Street Band) and backing vocals arranged by Todd Rundgren; the original video was directed by legendary schlockmeister Ken Russell, who does not disappoint. Russell's video has Pandora's Box frontgal Elaine Caswell dying from injuries sustained during a spectacular motorcycle accident: she apparently tried to jump a cemetery fence, and almost made it. While somber paramedics minister to Caswell's immaculate body, she imagines herself being prepared for the grave by members of her local sci-fi S&M club — the kind of people for whom sex, death, and all other bodily functions are best experienced under a thick glittery lacquer.
Compared to the original, Dion's 1998 video is a model of taste, restraint, and subtlety. There's a motorcycle accident, but there's no cemetery, no symbolic white horses, and no assless chaps. It's just Dion running though her enormous white mansion (one imagines René warming his feet by a fire in the study, sipping brandy and lighting his cigar with a hundred-Canadian-dollar bill), haunted by the memory of a James Dean knockoff whom she may or may not be aware has journeyed forever beyond the reach of her booty calls.
And it's here that Dion demonstrates her superhuman abilities. She walks the coals of a song that was birthed by Pandora's Box and would later be killed by Meat Loaf, and she gives herself to it without reservation, stretching her trampoline diaphragm to its utter limits and hurling the notes forth. Baby, baby, baby, BABY! Any mere mortal would be doomed, but Céline transcends. Elaine Caswell went to hell, and Meat Loaf never really left, but Céline floats among the angels. It all comes back to her, and so, like her ghostly toy boy, do we… again and again and again and again.

There are two different types of SCLC:
- Small cell carcinoma (oat cell cancer)
- Combined small cell carcinoma
Most SCLCs are of the oat cell type.
Alternative Names
Cancer - lung - small cell; Small cell lung cancer; SCLC
About 15% of all lung cancer cases are SCLC. Small cell lung cancer is slightly more common in men than women.
Almost all cases of SCLC are due to cigarette smoking. SCLC is rare in people who have never smoked.
SCLC is the most aggressive form of lung cancer. It usually starts in the breathing tubes (bronchi) in the center of the chest. Although the cancer cells are small, they grow very quickly and create large tumors. These tumors often spread rapidly (metastasize) to other parts of the body, including the brain, liver, and bone.
- Bloody sputum (phlegm)
- Chest pain
- Cough
- Loss of appetite
- Shortness of breath
- Weight loss
- Wheezing
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
- Facial swelling
- Fever
- Hoarseness or changing voice
- Swallowing difficulty
- Weakness
Exams and Tests
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history. You will be asked whether you smoke, and if so, how much and for how long you have smoked.
When listening to your chest with a stethoscope, your health care provider can sometimes hear fluid around the lungs or areas where the lung has partially collapsed. Each of these findings could (but does not always) suggest cancer.
SCLC has usually spread to other parts of your body by the time it is diagnosed.
Tests that may be performed include:
- Bone scan
- Chest x-ray
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- CT scan
- Liver function tests
- Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
- Sputum test (cytology, looking for cancer cells)
- Thoracentesis (removal of fluid from the chest cavity around the lungs)
In most cases, your health care provider may need to remove a piece of tissue from your lungs or other areas to be examined under a microscope. This is called a biopsy. There are several ways to do a biopsy:
- Bronchoscopy combined with biopsy
- CT scan-directed needle biopsy
- Endoscopic esophageal ultrasound (EUS) with biopsy
- Mediastinoscopy with biopsy
- Open lung biopsy
- Pleural biopsy
- Video-assisted thoracoscopy
Usually if a biopsy shows cancer, more imaging tests are done to find out the stage of the cancer. (Stage means how big the tumor is and how far it has spread.) SCLC is classified as either:
- Limited (cancer is only in the chest and can be treated with radiation therapy)
- Extensive (cancer has spread outside the chest)
Because SCLC spreads quickly throughout the body, treatment must include cancer-killing drugs (chemotherapy) taken by mouth or injected into the body. Usually, the chemotherapy drug etoposide (or sometimes irinotecan) is combined with either cisplatin or carboplatin.
Combination chemotherapy and radiation treatment is given to people with SCLC that has spread throughout the body. However, the treatment only helps relieve symptoms. It does not cure the disease.
Radiation therapy uses powerful x-rays or other forms of radiation to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy can be used with chemotherapy if surgery is not possible. Radiation may be used to:
- Treat the cancer, along with chemotherapy, if surgery is not possible
- Help relieve symptoms caused by the cancer, such as breathing problems and swelling
- Help relieve cancer pain when the cancer has spread to the bones
Often, SCLC may have already spread to the brain, even when there are no symptoms or other signs of cancer in the brain. As a result, some patients with smaller cancers, or who had a good response in their first round of chemotherapy may receive radiation therapy to the brain. This method is called prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI).
Surgery helps very few patients with SCLC because the disease has often spread by the time it is diagnosed. Surgery may be done when there is only one tumor that has not spread. If surgery is done, chemotherapy or radiation therapy will still be needed.
Support Groups
For additional information and resources, see cancer support group.
Outlook (Prognosis)
How well you do depends on how much the lung cancer has spread. This type of cancer is very deadly. Only about 6% of people with this type of cancer are still alive 5 years after diagnosis.
Treatment can often prolong life for 6 - 12 months, even when the cancer has spread.
Possible Complications
- Cancer spreads to other parts of the body
- Side effects of surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of lung cancer (particularly if you smoke).
If you smoke, stop smoking. It's never too late to quit. In addition, you should try to avoid secondhand smoke.

Together with the skilled craftsmen, Yamamoto Hideaki and Yamamoto Shinichiro, we are proud to introduce Gesshin Hide. These knives represent the best of Sakai Uchihamono. From the first time I sharpened one of these knives in 2010, I knew how amazing they were. With a combination of great steel and amazing grinding, shaping, and sharpening work, these knives are easily among the best single bevel knives I have used. On all of our newer ones we have started polishing the spine and choil.
This Murakumono Knife was a special project Shin-san did for fun. He says his inspiration was a drop of water when he thought about the shape of the blade. The design on the blade is a horse. The Murakumono knife is intended to be used as an all purpose utility knife. It is a true single bevel knife.
Each Gesshin Hide knife comes with a sticker guaranteeing that only certified craftsmen have worked on the knife, and each knife has a unique serial number. This is rare, even in Sakai, where these knives are made. Only the highest quality knives receive this honor. We have included a picture of this sticker on the product page.
We hope you enjoy the Gesshin Hide line, as we are extremely proud to be carrying them.
Welcome to Japanese Knife Imports, Inc.

The American Heart Association has awarded Aaron N. Johnson, assistant professor in integrative biology, an esteemed Scientist Development Grant. This award, which is intended to accelerate the research productivity of promising new investigators, is aimed at identifying genetic regulators of cardiac muscle development and disease. One challenge facing all cells is organizing information flow.
Bacteria solve this problem in part by clustering functionally related genes at discrete DNA locations called operons. In eukaryotes (non-bacterial species that include plants and animals), functionally related genes are scattered around the genome. However growing evidence suggests that functionally related eukaryotic gene products, RNAs, are co-regulated as discrete units termed RNA operons. Dr. Johnson has identified an RNA operon that coordinates the assembly of the contractile apparatus in muscle.
Ongoing research in the Johnson lab is aimed at characterizing the topography of this sarcomeric RNA operon using genetic, molecular, and biochemical techniques.

If you have come here to help me, you are wasting our time.If you have come here because your liberation is bound up with mine,then let us work together.Lilla WatsonIn an interdependent community everyone looks out for each other, if they don't, they die, it's black and white. But if that community is deprived of its ability to feed itself for whatever reason, be that economic, environmental or political, then dependency upon the outside world is inevitable.There may be dependency, but that doesn't for one moment mean that there isn't capability, capacity, desire, a hunger for an escape route to gain independence from that dependency, it just means that from the outside we may only see dependency and need.Dig beneath the surface and you'll find ideas, innovation, resourcefulness, determination, eagerness, enthusiasm, inspiration just waiting to be tapped into. But all too often we judge at a surface level and miss the dignity of the human being beneath the hungry facade.This lady stands proudly with her latest crop, her family were malnourished from years of bland food aid, three decades of international aid and a seemingly hopeless political battle left her and her family desperate for a chance to at least improve their own lot.It doesn't take much, in fact this ladies liberation from the malnutrition trap came in the form of a little bit of knowhow and a few seeds from a friend who had this idea about growing food in desert locations. Together they laboured towards a common goal. The result is a win, win, win.Dignity is a two way street, find it in ourselves then instantly we see it in everyone, regardless of how we may have previously judged by appearances. Dignity is respect. Respect another persons intelligence, respect their right to their own dignity. Stand with them as your peer.We are who we have been waiting for.MartinPhoto: Phil Hittepole

Eat plenty of spinach (full of beta carotene), citrus (for vitamin C), nuts (for vitamin E) and lean beef (for zinc) now. An natural diet regime consisting of such food products can lessen the danger of vision loss by 35 % for people in between 70 and 85 Nike Air Max many years of age, as for every a brand new research in the Journal in the American Health-related Affiliation.
Foods brimming using the type of anti-oxidants pointed out over support fight an age-related eye illness known as macular degeneration, which is the top lead to of blindness in older persons. Anti-oxidants counter the effects of oxidation around the tissues and construction of the eyes. The physique makes an attempt to counter the effects of oxidation by creating and making use of anti-oxidants including are identified in Nutritional vitamins.
The adhering to Air Max 90 Nutritional vitamins have already been identified to enhance, protect and assistance eye health;
Vitamin C found in fruits and vegetables, for example oranges, strawberries, rosehip and broccoli, minimizes stress inside the Glaucoma, slowing deterioration in macular degeneration, and reducing the danger of cataracts.
Vitamin A found in carrots, sweet potatoes, and liver might minimize threat of cataracts, and evening blindness. Its deficiency may well trigger blindness, and corneal ulcers.
Vitamin E found in many nuts, for example almonds and hazelnuts, Air Max 95 makes use of its antioxidant qualities to reduce the risk for macular degeneration and cataracts.
Apart from vitamins; Minerals play a crucial function in maintaining and enhancing vision. Minerals are inorganic compounds (Carbon absolutely free) that really metabolize vitamins in the body. They aid retain movement of data (electricity) essential for each element.
Some minerals and compounds believed to be vital to the health of eyes are: Zinc (identified in beef, wheat, oysters); Selenium (seafood, yeast and nuts); Lutein (spinach and collard green – minimizes dry eyes); Bioflavonoids (citrus fruits, bilberry, and strawberries – boost evening vision); Carotenoids pigment (red, orange and yellow fruits and crops, leafy green vegetables – helps prevent macular degeneration and cataracts)
Ideally all of the above mentioned nutrients must be present in commonly obtainable meals. But that is not the situation mainly because modern farming procedures – study pesticides and fertilizers – as well as the depletion of vitamins in the Nike Air Max soil has resulted in vegetables and fruit not so wealthy in vitamins and minerals. Hence, the have to have for food dietary supplements and 'organic food'.
But not everybody might have organic food; for lack of money or for lack of access, so a Vitamin Health supplement is a great option to obtain these missing nutrients and stay clear of potentially risky ailments for example macular degeneration.
1. Bilberry – Bilberry is really a herb utilised for both gastrointestinal and eye health. It consists of energetic components known as Anthocyanidin Bioflavonoids, which are are antioxidants that aid strengthen the flow of blood by way of the capillaries in eyes. It really is also utilised to treat diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration.
2. Grapeseed – Grapeseed improves the peripheral circulation in our eyes, as well as strengthens the capillaries.
3. Eyebright – Eyebright makes a fantastic eye house treatment. It is terrific for sore eyes, and it has an anti-inflammatory and relaxing motion.
4. Omega 3 Fatty Acids – Investigation from Harvard Medical School has discovered that getting Omega-3 oils lowers the chance of acquiring dry eyes. Try getting 3 to 6 grams of a good good quality fish oil complement daily.
Now Food Supplements Nike Air Max packed with each of the over vitamins and minerals are conveniently offered. They do assist, however it is important to notice that care must be taken even though figuring out the suitable quantities. If wellness issues are an aspect, consulting a dietitian or doctor may possibly be prudent.

Scientists making discoveries that defy the laws of physics seems to be something of a theme this month. Now the eggheads at CERN say they've observed subatomic particles moving faster than the speed of light, which might theoretically allow us to travel back in time. Eryn Brown and Amina Khan report for the LA Times:
… Read the rest
Albert Einstein had the idea. A century of observations have backed it up. It's one of the cornerstones of physics: Nothing travels faster than the speed of light.
But now a team of experimental physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, says that one exotic particle possibly can.
The scientists reached their conclusion after sending streams of tiny, subatomic particles called neutrinos hurtling from an accelerator at CERN outside Geneva to a detector at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy, about 450 miles away.
The neutrinos seemed to get there too soon — 60 nanoseconds too soon, give or take — than they should if they'd been traveling at the speed of light.

Delivering your SEO recommendations and getting them implemented is a challenge. Many in-house SEOs think the biggest challenge is figuring out what needs to be changed. When you're an in-house SEO, your toughest challenge is often delivering a presentation that earns you respect and is crafted in a way that IT will like the message and want to act on your recommendations.Typical Process for Delivering SEO Recommendations
- Before the Presentation: Document the findings, discussing what is good and what needs fixing. Then, create a presentation for IT so they can make changes.
- At the Presentation: You deliver your presentation. You think it's flawless. IT heard you say, "Your baby's ugly."
You see, a company's Web site is IT's baby. IT created it; they put in the blood, sweat and tears to launch it. They have nurtured it through redesigns and implemented regular enhancements. When the Web site goes down at 4 a.m., IT is called to get it up and running smoothly. It's their baby... and if you say it needs to be overhauled, you are basically saying their baby is ugly. Let's face it, nobody likes to hear their baby is ugly.Getting Around the Ugly Baby Conundrum
What can you say to ensure that you aren't insulting IT's hard work? Honestly, it's a challenge, and you should face the reality that you will occasionally ruffle a few feathers.
We are dealing with what I call the Ugly Baby Conundrum – the site really is a bit ugly in terms of SEO, but you have to find a way to deliver this message so IT does not get defensive about how they have coded and architected the Web site.
I have found three key tactics that help get around the Ugly Baby Conundrum:
- Don't work in a funnel. Many SEOs sit at their desks, do the standard site audit, and prepare a presentation for IT on SEO recommendations. Some SEOs think the presentation is the time to deliver their recommendations. Instead, talk to IT while conducting your analysis so you are able to include recommendations that can actually be implemented, and your recommendations don't come as a surprise when your audience is armed with many people having the same reservations. In the last in-house article, Tips for Your First Day In-house, I talked about meeting with IT to discuss your recommendations by saying, these are techniques that other companies are using. This allows you to gauge the IT department's reaction, while not indicating these are actual tactics you have in mind for the company's Web site. This approach is time consuming, but it will work to your advantage when your presentation includes several recommendations that are technically feasible in your client's current environment.
- Do one-on-one trial runs with key stakeholders (technical leads, architects and project managers -- not VPs and directors). I tend to do trial runs with just one or two stakeholders at a time, refining the presentation after each. The reason for the intimate presentation is that when it is one-on-one, people seem more open to asking questions for clarification, tend to talk more, and often suggest feasible solutions that you may not have in your presentation. I also find these smaller settings can help identify and fix potential roadblocks in the delivery of your presentation – be sure to watch the facial expressions for each change you discuss, and ask how the team will respond to the issues discussed. The reason you want these trial runs with lower level stakeholders, rather than VPs and directors, is that upper management has typically bought into SEO conceptually; it is the lower level IT stakeholders that are opposed to SEO changes.
- Use positive reinforcement. To continue the baby analogy... when dealing with proud parents, sometimes bad news needs to be spun in a positive way. For example, it's not that Susie isn't doing her homework or studying for tests; it's that she isn't living up to her potential and is capable of higher grades. To give positive reinforcement when delivering initial recommendations, I often start off with: "The site is doing OK in search engines, they have found us, we have some pretty good rankings, and we're getting traffic. But, with your help, we could be getting so much more – X times more traffic. I'm going to show you where the search engines are having some trouble when they visit our Web site, why they are having the trouble, and then talk about what we can do to drive more traffic to the site."
If you are the new in-house SEO delivering your first recommendations, consider this your "make-me-or-break-me" presentation. Be on your toes with tough questions, use positive reinforcement, include several recommendations that IT can actually implement, and be careful not to tell IT their baby is ugly. Make the most of your trial runs and you'll have a presentation that will position you as the most obvious expert with practical recommendations that IT can act on, and you'll gain respect from all levels.

low-fat pear upside-down cakes
I love them for a lot of reasons, but I'm really loving what they did for these upside-down cakes.
The mini-Bundts are golden-edged, totally addictive and low-fat -- two yolks. That's it.
No butter. No oil.
And no crappy fat substitutes (like applesauce) to weigh the cake down.
The eggs worked their magic and turned a little bit of flour, spice and super sweet pear into addictive mini sponge cakes.
I'm not a big fan of "light" cakes and muffins.
Most of the time, they're heavy as rocks, dry as paper and taste like nothing (or worse, something fake).
But that hasn't kept me from trying to make one myself. One that actually tastes like cake.
Really good cake.
So I did a little riff on angel food cake -- simplified it, left in a couple of yolks and added that yummy caramelized upside-down part.
The pear upside-down cakes have that signature golden edge similar to angel food cake, but they're not dense like angel food can be.
They're more like sponge cake, with an airy texture that pairs well with the moist pear topping.
Three types of sugar (but not too much of any of them) and a little spice also ratchet-up the flavor.
They work really well as a snack cake -- I took to that really quickly -- and can swing breakfast, too.
Delicious and addictive and so light, I didn't feel guilty when I had...a few.
makes 12 mini-Bundt cakes
- 1 ripe pear, peeled and diced (about 1 cup diced pear)
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons demerara sugar
- 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 egg white, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease or coat a mini-Bundt pan with non-stick spray well, making sure to coat inside the cups, the center "post" in each cup and the top of the pan.
In small bowl, combine brown sugar, demerara sugar and diced pear. Evenly distribute pear-sugar mixture between the 12 Bundt-cake cups, evenly placing fruit on bottom of each cup.
In small bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Set aside.
In bowl of a standmixer, combine eggs, egg white and granulated sugar. Beat on medium for 5 minutes, then on high for another 5 minutes, until light in color and fluffy. Scrape down sides as necessary.
Add vanilla and beat 1 minute.
Gently fold in flour mixture. Do not overmix.
With an ice cream scoop or two spoons, distribute cake dough evenly between the 12 cake cups.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool in pan for 2 to 3 minutes.
Carefully invert cakes onto baking sheet or large serving platter and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Because there is so little fat in them, I think it's safe to say the cakes probably don't have much of a shelf life. They should probably be eaten right away, which didn't prove to be a problem here.

Watching a planned strategy take root and flower is exciting. Who doesn't like to celebrate success? Hitting planned sales targets, getting a new product out on time, hiring a key new employee and seeing them flourish--it's these events that assure us that we're making progress toward our medium- and long-term goals.
But the other side of the coin--dealing with strategies that aren't delivering the results we anticipated--is somewhat more complex. (And not fun.)
Recognizing success is relatively easy, compared to diagnosing failure. At the heart of the issue is a simple question we've all found ourselves asking. What would happen if we simply gave this initiative more time? Or tweaked it a little? If we persevere, will it succeed eventually, or is it just a dud, consuming important resources that we could use elsewhere?
In other words, how can we know when to pull the plug?
Here are four steps to ensure that you won't be caught in the "will-it or won't-it" no-man's-land of assessing stalled initiatives:
1. Establish "pre-success" indicators. When I watch executives debating whether or not a specific strategy is going to ultimately succeed, the one thing that is almost always missing is a clear understanding of what pre-success looks like. That is, the indicators which would make it clear that although the strategy hasn't flowered yet, it has taken root and is progressing as it should.
When you plant a flower or a vegetable, even though you won't see the final result until the seasons change, it's easy to hop online or consult a book to see what should be poking through the soil in the first few days and weeks.
It's just the same with any important strategy. You need to agree before hand what the early indicators will be that it has successfully taken root. Leads generated, perhaps, for a sales strategy, or proof of concept for a new product strategy. (Bear in mind that you'll need multiple indicators, spread over time.)
2. Set bail-out parameters ahead of time. Establishing what pre-success looks like is only a preparatory step in clarifying whether or not a strategy has taken root. The vital second step is to be very clear--in advance--the point at which you will pull the plug.
If a month-one pre-success indicator for a new sales strategy is to generate 20 new leads, for example, at what point do you pull the plug? If it only generates 19 leads? 17? 12?
If, going in, you're not very clear on what the precise bail-out points are, then when the pre-success indicators aren't met, instead if having a clear-cut decision to make, you'll find yourself surrounded by a sea of anecdote--and remember, anecdote is not data.
3. Make tactics modular, not binary. What if we generated say, 15 leads fewer than our pre-success indicator of 20. But rather than dumping the strategy, we instead changed tactics? Perhaps a different advertising channel, or a different pricing structure might rejuvenate the stalled sales strategy?
Good question, and a perfectly valid one. With any new strategy, a change in tactical implementation can of course radically change the ultimate results. The key is, as before, to plan for the adoption of alternative tactics in advance, and within agreed parameters. So for our sales strategy, we might agree to adopt a second (or even a third, or fourth) tactical approach if our lead generation numbers come in say, no lower than 75% of plan, but to drop the strategy altogether if they are lower than that.
The point at which it's viable to switch tactics to keep a stalled strategy alive will vary from case to case, but the key is to be clear in advance the precise circumstance under which you'll make that switch, and when you'll pull the plug.
4. Ask a third party who has no vested interest in the outcome. Being tied to outcomes is the single biggest distorter of strategic clarity. When we have a vested interest in success, our judgment unavoidably becomes clouded.
To know clearly when it's time to pull the plug on a strategy, or when it's worth persevering in the hope of achieving success, the biggest favor you can do for yourself--and everyone else involved--is to ask someone who has no vested interest in the outcome. You not only deserve that degree of objectivity, you need it.

Aloo Gobi is a Punjabi classic made with potatoes (aloo) and cauliflower (gobi). These humble vegetables may not sound like much, but they happen to be the perfect canvas to paint on the vibrant flavours of ginger, garlic, onions and cumin.
After going through a phase of steaks, roasts and confits, I was feeling my inner herbivore crying out for some love. These primal urges come and go, especially in winter when there just aren't many appealing veggies in the markets. It's probably my body's way of telling me that I need less protein and more fiber. That said, I'm a carnivore at heart and the thought of having something as prosaic as a salad for dinner puts a real kibosh my appetite. My solution is to turn to the food of my South Asian brothers (and sisters).
Make it Easy
You can greatly speed things up by making these caramelized onion cubes ahead of time and keeping them in your freezer. When you make the Aloo Gobi, just fry the spices, add the garlic and ginger and fry until fragrant, then throw 2 onion cubes in along with the other ingredients.
I love Indian food because it's inexpensive and relatively simple to prepare, but more importantly, it never fails to light up my eyes, nose and tastebuds with its piquant flavours and vivid colours — even on the dreariest of days. Aloo Gobi is one of my favourites, because it's filling, without being a total carb bomb and the leftovers are good for a couple lunches during the week.
It may look like there are a lot of ingredients that go into this dish, but if you cook Indian food with any frequency, you should have most of these ingredients in your pantry already. I've given this version of Aloo Gobi my own twist with the addition of some honey and lemon juice balance out the salt and spices. I like to serve this with some pulao which is essentially an Indian pilaf, but it's also fantastic with some plain basmati rice or naan.

Nokia is set to release its second Windows Phone device - the Lumia 710 - which aims to offer users a more affordable alternative to the high-end Lumia 800.
The main difference between the Lumia 710 and its bigger brother is the design. Nokia has chosen to retain most of the high-end hardware specifications in the 126g device. The Lumia 710 comes with a rounded chassis, which houses a 3.7in ClearBlack display. The curved shape of the device gives it a similar look to many mid-range handsets such as Samsung's Galaxy Ace.
The overall build quality doesn't quite match up to that of the Lumia 800, which takes the shape of a rectangular block and has a chassis made from a single piece of polycarbonate. Nonetheless, the 710 feels well made and sits comfortably in the palm of the hand.
A micro-USB port is located along the top of the device together with the physical power button and headphone jack. Along the bottom of the device is a physical panel, somewhat similar to the one that will be found on the Sony Xperia S. This comes with back, home and search shortcuts that light up when pressed.
The back has a nice matte finish to it and our review unit came in cyan colour. There are two other colour combinations available - all black and white with cyan. Nokia allows users to remove the cover to gain access to the battery, something that cannot be done in the Lumia 800. This will appeal to business users who may want to carry around a spare.
Underneath the battery is a space to place the micro-SIM card. It looks like Nokia is going to stick with this standard as this is the second successive Windows Phone device to have this feature.

African Bank's profits increaseComment on this story
African Bank Investments Ltd (ABIL' ABL) on Monday reported an 18% rise in headline earnings per share to 342.5 cents for the year ended September 2012.
The group said it had delivered a solid set of results underpinned by a continued positive response from customers to the group's credit and retail products' a high repeat business demand for the brand and expanded footprint of African Bank through the EHL distribution network. EHL delivered improved profit margins on the back of operational cost containment and further efficiencies.
ABIL met its targeted 20.0% return on equity and tangible return on equity of 36.3% and grew economic profit by 53% to R755 million.
Headline earnings increased by 18% to R2.8 billion.. Gross advances increased by 33% to R53.0 billion on the back of the growth in new business volumes and extension of term. Non-performing loans coverage was at 60.0%' relative to 60.9% in the prior year. The group increased its final dividend to 110 cents per share' or a total dividend of 195 cents for the year.
The Banking unit which represents some 91% of the groups' earnings' continued to deliver on an excellent track record' reporting a ROE of 22.9%.
The Bank continued to focus on its target market of customers earning R15'000 per month and below while maintaining a stable asset quality. Higher employment costs were incurred due to staffing of the carve-outs and kiosks in certain of the retail stores as well as from increased collection costs due to higher volumes. A slightly elevated bad debt charge from refinements in the write-off policy was realised in the latter part of the year' it said.
EHL delivered a much improved 35% growth in headline earnings to R257 million.
"We have managed to steer our operations successfully through the economic volatility during the year and have built a robust' well capitalised and flexible business to position us as the market leader in a larger' more competitive unsecured credit market'" said CEO Leon Kirkinis.
Looking ahead' the group said the embedded value in the advance book of R53.0 billion bodes well to sustain the business into the medium term future and the focus for 2013 has shifted to a sharper focus on returns rather than growth.
The current strong capital ratios and liquidity profile' supported by expected earnings and further capital and debt raisings will enable the group to comfortably meet its returns objectives' remain solvent and cater for expected regulatory changes. The group expects advances to grow at an average compound rate of around 15%' and is targeting a return on equity of 23% for the 2013 financial year.
Management remained vigilant and engaged in dialogue with regulators and credit providers concerning the sharp growth in unsecured lending within certain income brackets to manage the risk of oversupply of credit.
"We were pleased to note that the combination of increased regulatory scrutiny and heightened awareness by key players in the market has begun to curb excess supply of credit and that a slowdown of credit extension is evident in the most recent bureau information'." Kirkinis noted.
The group is comfortable that risk remains well controlled' from the perspective of the economic environment' recent legislative and regulatory developments' as well as credit quality.
"We remain cognisant of our customers' requirements as well as financial distresses in this deteriorating macroeconomic environment. We will continue to adapt our affordability and debt rehabilitation measures and processes accordingly as we strive to create responsible access to credit for South Africans in our target market"' he concluded. - I-Net Bridge

General Sherman's army was responsible for the destruction of a huge amount of property, but Sherman never sanctioned murder.
In fact, General Sherman offered General Joseph E. Johnston very generous surrender terms at the Bennett Place in late April of 1865. He even provided the defeated Confederates with rations, horses, and mules.
General Johnston was very grateful to Sherman, and they formed a lasting friendship. After the war, General Johnston would not tolerate a negative word to be said about General Sherman in his presence.
By contrast, Josef Stalin sanctioned the deaths of many millions of his countrymen, both military and civilian, in various purges and in gulags. He was probably responsible for the deaths of more people than Adolf Hitler was. You mentioned Stalingrad. There Stalin ordered massive reinforcements through murderous German air attacks that killed thousands, and thousands more Russian troops were slaughtered by special units if they tried to retreat from contact with the Germans.
To compare General Sherman to Josef Stalin in any way is an absurdity.

Always put down
14 year old female
Memories often used to haunt my mind and replay over and over again. Memories of violent family fights, criticism and actions that I had done, which I really regretted. I found it hard to smile or laugh, I lost self confidence because I truly believed that I was a terrible person and everything that my parents said that was negative was true. I lived in fear of fights and in fear of messing up and I felt like I was letting my little brother down. But one day, I don't know why, but I found the courage.
I'd had enough of feeling this way so I called Kids Helpline and talked to the most amazing lady. She made me feel special and happy, she made me see the world in a way I never had before. All those words and memories that held me back, made me live in fear, didn't seem to hurt me so much anymore. I'd just like to say to anybody who is reading this, we are all amazing and nobody can ever tell u otherwise.
The only reason another person needs to put u down is to make themselves feel better. Thank you so much Kids Helpline. You have helped me so much and I smile all the time now and I'm so thankful for what I have and thank you to anybody who reads my story :)

Students and faculty bond during the twice-annual residency portion of Pacific University's master of fine arts in writing program. Ranked third in the country, the MFA program draws published and aspiring authors from around the United States.Bri Castellini (2014) | Student Writer
It's the third day of Pacific University's Seaside, Ore., residency for students and faculty in the master of fine arts in writing, or MFA, program. At 7:45 p.m., in the middle of a faculty member's reading, the lights flicker, then extinguish entirely, victim to a storm that's blown wind and rain sideways for days.
Interns take the stairs to the lobby and return with an arsenal of flashlights, but the crowd, comprised of 98 MFA students and various faculty members, hasn't moved. They're silent, listening as fiction professor and noted author Jack Driscoll continues to read. The wind, beating thunderously against a metal sign outside the hotel windows, punctuates Driscoll's fishing tale.
When the electricity powers back up, the crowd sighs in disappointment; they were starting to enjoy the darkened ambiance.
Rated one of the top low-residency programs in the nation, Pacific's MFA program draws students and faculty from around the world, including Israel, Ghana, France and every region of the United States. Faculty members are comprised of published authors — specializing in fiction, nonfiction, or poetry — and range from decorated poet Kwame Dawes to novelist Bonnie Jo Campbell.
Students work remotely with faculty mentors, and the whole group meets in person just twice a year for a pair of 10-day residencies. In January, the residency is in Seaside, while the June conference takes place on Pacific's Forest Grove Campus.
This winter, the informal theme of the meeting seems to be community. At the end of her welcome speech, Director Shelley Washburn emphasized the importance of students connecting with one another, despite their short times together in the program. And, during a panel discussion on Day 1, guest speaker Barry Lopez, a best-selling nonfiction writer, noted that, "the impulse to write is a social impulse."
As, apparently, is the impulse to share in the story, an impulse evident as storytellers and poets read their words by flashlight to a rapt crowd on an otherwise dark and stormy night.

Technical Abstract: Four cultivars of pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.)K. Koch] were studied for 3 years to determine if variations in yield influence fatty acid composition of kernels. Trees used in the study are part of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service Historical Block, a test orchard planted in randomized block design with four blocks, having one single-tree replication per block and containing 36 cultivars. Four trees of each of four cultivars (`Cheyenne', `Mohawk', `Pawnee', and `Osage') were used in this test. Trees were in their 5th to 7th leaf from grafting and showed patterns of increasing yield over time for each cultivar. `Osage' was earliest to mature nuts each year and produced nuts with the lowest linoleic acid content. `Cheyenne' was latest to mature nuts and had nuts with the highest linoleic acid content. Oleic acid composition varied with yield in `Osage' and `Pawnee'; as yield (kilogram/square decimeter trunk area) increased, oleic acid content decreased. Kernel color, as determined by a Hunter LabScan 5100 Spectrocolorimeter, varied in relation to fatty acid composition for `Osage' and `Pawnee'; as oleic acid content increased, kernel lightness decreased. High oleic acid content and light kernel color are associated with high-quality pecans. The pattern of decreasing oleic acid content associated with increasing kernel lightness raises questions concerning the role kernel color evaluation should play in selecting high-quality pecan cultivars

News that the space programme has been scaled down is not a great surprise – but we didn't realise how far until last week, when Nasa reported that it had successfully completed the construction of the International Space Station – out of Lego. More precisely, Japanese astronaut Satoshi Furukawa has made a copy of the ISS, while on the ISS, presumably using the box of toys that they keep in the corner for when the neighbours show up unannounced.
There are pictures of him posing with the completed space station on Collectspace. Disappointingly, he hasn't stuck any of those cute little Lego spacemen to the outside, or had a bit of fun by attaching a giant death ray and pretending to incinerate tiny Lego Kazakhstanis. In space Lego has to be built inside a plastic bubble to stop bits floating off and accidentally banging into the button that hatches the alien eggs in the freezer.

Antonin Scalia, English Grammar and Usage, Gender, Reader Polls
Happy Friday, and welcome to the latest edition of Above the Law's Grammer Pole of the Weak, a column where we turn questions of English grammar and usage over to our readers for discussion and debate.
Last week, we discovered that 82% of our readers are willing to strangle, maim, and kill over the use of the serial comma. Take that, AP Stylebook heathens!
This week, we're turning to a more contentious issue: the use of gender-neutral language in law practice and legal writing. Interestingly enough, experts disagree on the matter.
Bros, should you be kind to the ladies when you're using indefinite pronouns?
As you know, indefinite pronouns do not refer to any person or thing in particular, and are mostly used to generalize a group (e.g., anyone, everyone, nobody). And when using indefinite pronouns, you can run into pronoun-antecedent gender agreement issues.
The Grammar Divas have a great example of the ridiculousness that can occur when these gender agreement issues are present in your writing:
Today, our culture views using male pronouns for everyone as biased. Since we've all been through sensitivity training, we worry about obliterating half the population. The result?
"If anyone asks for me, tell him or her I'll get back to him or her tomorrow."
Hurray! Everyone is in the pool. Except, the power of the sentence is weakened by calling the reader's attention to the fact that the writer is trying too hard not to offend. Oops!
Heaven forbid that we offend anyone when we write. It might hurt his or her delicate little feelings.
Trying to be PC when using indefinite pronouns is for the birds. This will probably get my bra-burning card revoked, but I'm in favor of the historic use of "he," "him," and "his" to cover both sexes. And guess what? Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia agrees with me!
In Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges (affiliate link), Justice Scalia argues that gender-neutral language sacrifices force and simplicity in legal writing. But his co-author, Bryan A. Garner, is a strong proponent of the use of gender-neutral language.
A downloadable article from the Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy has more from Scalia (quoting from Making Your Case):
[M]y esteemed coauthor … has displayed the inventiveness of a DaVinci and the imagination of a Tolkien in devising circumlocutions that have purged from my contributions to this volume (at some stylistic cost) all use of "he" as the traditional, generic, unisex reference to a human being, [to advance "invisible gender neutrality."]
(Invisible, my eye. I'll bet you can spot the places where force or simplicity has been sacrificed to second-best circumlocution. As for distraction: To those of us who believe that "he" means, and has always meant, "he or she" when not referring to a male antecedent, the ritual shunning of it to avoid giving offense to gender-neutralizers is . . . well, distracting.)
In Better Lawyer, a publication of the Columbus Bar Association, attorney J.H. Huebert says that while he agrees with Scalia, he writes with Garner's insistence upon gender-neutral language in mind:
I strongly agree with Scalia – but put my personal preference aside when writing a brief, because one never knows whether a judge will take offense at the use of "he" alone. A lawyer's duty to his client requires using the language that's less likely to cause offense – even if the offense is not intended or, in in the lawyer's view, not warranted.
So, readers, keeping these differing viewpoints in mind, we now turn this discussion to you. Should your writing be gender-neutral? Or will you throw PC etiquette to the wind and use the historic "he"?
Should your writing be gender-neutral?
