2016 Kids Dog Show
The 40th Annual Garfield Heights Kid's Dog Show was a howling success Sunday afternoon at the Dan Kostel Recreation Center arena. The popular event was emceed by Cleveland's own Mr. Dick Goddard, from FOX-8 TV, with the assistance of Dr. Richard Thompson of the Family Pet Clinic and Robert Dobies, Director of Parks and Recreation.
On this Special Day, Dick Goddard was presented with a Proclamation congratulating him on his 50+ years at Fox 8 TV, his many accomplishments, interesting biography, upcoming retirement, his 28 years with the Annual Kids Dog show, and most recently his unending persistence of "GODDARD'S LAW" passage due to his never ending love of all animals.
What was to be a one time appearance in 1988 at the City's Homeday's Festival, turned into 28 years of furry fun! There was never any doubt that Mr. Goddard loves to Emcee the Kid's Dog Show, nor that he equally loves the kids & dogs.
Due to His loyalty and dedication to our city's recreation department as Master of Ceremonies for our Annual Kids Dog Show, and all other accomplishments in his lifetime, Mayor Collova has Proclaimed that August 7th be Dick Goddard Day in the City of Garfield Heights!

2013 Recreation Renovation Project Funded with Federal Grant
Funding from the 2013 Community Development Block Grant program allowed the city to complete a Recreation Renovation Project. "We are pleased to be able to offer healthy living activities for our families and improve the places where children can play," said Recreation Director Bob Dobies.
Playgrounds were improved at Crudele, Forestdale and Debelak parks and the children's play area at the Dan Kostel Recreation Center swimming pool. Contractor David Williams and Associates, Inc. installed the new playground equipment and surfaces. The CDBG program is implemented by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Funding is given to each state and, in Ohio, divided among 88 counties. Garfield Heights' 2013 application was approved by the Cuyahoga County Department of Development.
In 2012, the city received a $150,000 CDBG grant to develop a multi-purpose trail along McCracken Road from Lee to Broadway. The 2014 application recently submitted is for a Healthy Neighborhood Dry Basement project to install backflow devices to prevent flooding. The city is waiting for a decision from the county regarding the application.
Important Lessons Learned at Garfield Heights Safety Town
Local children learned pedestrian, fire, bus and bicycle safety lessons during a one-week Safety Town session at Garfield Heights Middle School where a mini town with lined streets and sidewalks was built.
The valuable program had been shelved due to budget cuts, but brought back this summer. Coordinated by Patrolman James Seawright and teacher Emily Garrett, the sessions are taught by volunteer student instructors and safety professionals. This year's volunteers are Bailey Green, Ashley Mikolay and Tawoun Nay.
The program is for children ages five and six. Students learn how to call for help in an emergency, stranger danger, basic safety tips, and more. Visitors include the fire department, the police K-9 unit and a school bus driver.
On graduation day, each child receives a T-shirt and a certificate of completion. The 2013 graduates are Elizabeth Chokan, Jack Henderson, Lily Nichols, Joseph Piela, AJ Santangelo, Alayna Cancilliere, Cameron Huggins, Nicholas Frisco, Macgowan Rott, Dominic Schiavone, Jordan Wade, Mylee Wright and Maya Yelenosky.
Garfield Heights "Hop On In" Event Held on March 16th
Mayor Vic Collova and Parks & Recreation Director Robert Dobies, would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended this unique event, an Easter Day & St. Patrick's Day event all in one, coordinated by recreation department employee Mary Nichols, with the help of staff members Nikki Majka, and Carol Schillero. The event, which featured visits by the Easter Bunny and Irish Bagpipers Tim Reed, Sr. and Tim Reed Jr. dressed in full Irish attire, was a huge success with record-breaking attendance.
Residents enjoyed ice skating to appropriate holiday music in the rink, face painting, pictures with the Easter Bunny and the Irish bagpipers. There were many "very lucky" adults and children who were recipients of the many prizes donated by event supporters. As they exited the recreation center, all children received "bagged" candy; and the adults received special gifts from Mayor Vic and Mrs. Jeannie Collova and Parks and Recreation Director Robert Dobies.
This special event was made possible because of overwhelming response from the many local Garfield Heights contributors willing to offer so many donations. On behalf of the residents who enjoyed the event, appreciation is extended to Applebee's, Burger King, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Mayor and Mrs. Vic Collova, Robert Dobies, First Federal of Lakewood bank, GameStop, Garfield Heights Police Department, Mrs. Elsie Gerlicka, Joseph Suster - Councilman Ward 5, Mike Nenadovich - Councilman Ward 3, Mr. Hero, Odyssey Salon, Papa Johns Pizza, Planet Fitness, Playmakers Bar & Grille, Ricco's Salon, Stormin' Norman's Car Wash, Tom Vaughn-Councilman Ward 7, Turney Wireless, and Wendy's. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our "Friendly Neighbors" who also took the chance and "hopped" right in to donate some very nice prizes to make this event so huge! Thank you to Advance Vending Company, Cinemark USA, Chick-fil-A, The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, Ethereal Salon, the Lake Erie Monsters, the Lorain Novelty Company, and Novak's Flower Shoppe. Please patronize our supporters whenever possible and let them know how appreciated they are for their generosity.
We would also like to thank the many volunteers who offered their time and talent including teachers Emily Garrett and Patricia Frame along with the Art Department students from Garfield Heights High School for beautifying the recreation center windows with their talented paintings, Bert Dobies, Lisa Schmidt, Pat Salemi, Marilyn Spirakus, Rob Piros, Alexa Bishop and Tim Reed, along with all the recreation department employees who dressed festively as "bunnies" or "leprechauns."
Thanks to everyone who attended and to our generous sponsors, for letting us bring back an Easter Egg hunt with a new and different twist, and one of our newer more recent events, a Residents Appreciation Day.
Happy Easter! Happy Spring!

The Peggy Helmerich Library will be closed temporarily for light renovation. We anticipate the closure to last several weeks. During the closure, any items you have placed on hold will be sent to Hardesty Library.
As I write this, we are experiencing the first full-fledged summer weather of the season—highs in the mid-90s, a light south wind, and a cloudless, expansive sky. This is the summer I love. Don't talk to me in July when it's too hot to be outside at 10 p.m., and you have to put booties on your dog when you take her out for a walk, so she won't burn her paws crossing the street. No, today is the perfect summer day—made for lazing poolside (friends with pools, call me!) with a great novel.

Brief Summary
Anacardium occidentale, the cashew, is an evergreen tree in the Anacardiaceae (cashew or sumac family) that originated in Central and South America and is now cultivated commercially in semi-arid tropical areas in Africa, India, Sri Lanka, and southeastern Asia for the production of cashew nuts. The tree, which is up to 12 meters (40 feet) tall, has leathery alternate leaves, and flowers with 5 petals and 5 sepals. The fruits take an unusual form, with a kidney-shaped nut (drupe) borne on the end of an receptacle (the stem that holds the flower and fruit), which becomes enlarged and fleshy so that it appears as a fruit (with the nut like a comma dangling at its end), and is referred to as a "cashew apple."
The cashew apple is edible, with an astringent flavor, and is used in jams, jellies, chutneys, and beverages (including a cashew wine); it is a good source of vitamin A and contains up to five times as much vitamin C as citrus juice. Cashew apples are also used as animal fodder. Cashew nuts, which are important in the cuisine of India, are often roasted and salted and eaten as a snack, and are high in protein, vitamins (A, D, K, and E) and minerals (including calcium, phosphorus, and iron). Other products from the plant include cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL), which is an irritant to human skin (it causes blisters similar to those of poison ivy, Toxcicodendron radicans, which is in the same genus) but is used as a lubricant and insecticide; and acajou gum, from the plant's stem, which can be used as a substitute for gum arabic or in similar applications, such as varnish.
Total 2010 world production of cashew nuts was 3.6 million tons, harvested from 4.4 million hectares. India was long the leading producer of cashew nuts. However, Nigeria was the largest producer in 2001, and Vietnam's production surpassed them both in 2002; Vietnam has been the leading producer since. Brazil is the leading producer of commercially sold cashew apples.

Ethnobotanical Uses
The cashew tree Anacardium occidentale can provide many traditional and industrial byproducts. In terms of culinary uses, cashews appear in the cuisine of many countries and are featured prominently in the cusine of Thailand, China, India, Malaysia, Brazil, Panama and Indonesia. They have also become popular as snacks and appetizers in Western Societies and also appear as ingredients in Western confections (Nair et. al. 1979).
Cashew trees produce: cashew nuts, kernels, cashew apples, edible oil from the nuts (not usually extracted because of the high price the nuts themselves fetch), indelible ink deived form the bark and, yellow dye extracted from leaves (Nair et. al. 1979). Tannins extracted from the testa (seed coat) are used in the leather industry, and gum from the bark is used for bookbinding, while sap its is used for wood preservative (Asogawa et. al. 2007). Senegalese fishermen use the the extract from it's leaves to dye their fishnets yellow (Asogawa et. al. 2007).
Recent studies have found that although the cashew apple is often not valued as highly as the nut by cultivators it has the potential to gross significantly more than it costs to gross because clarified cashew apple juice can be used to grow Leuconostoc mesenteroids which can be used to produce high added value products such as dextran, lactic acid, mannitol and oligosaccharides (Horato, Rabelo and Gonclaves 2007).
Another byproduct that has proven to be useful in industrial manufacturing is cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). It is composed of anacardic acid, cardarol, and cardol (EPA 2009). While it does not seriously effect rates, it is an acute hazard to fish, aquatic invertebrates, and aquatic plants based on toxicity estimates for cardol at .001 mg/L, .004mg/L, and .010mg/L respectively (EPA 2009). CNSL is an intermediate used in the manufacturing of other basic organic chemicals which are found in automotive car products, antioxidants, rubber compounds, and is a modifier for plastics (EPA 2009).
CNSL is used in wood and fabric preservatives, paints, plastics, printing ink, germicides, insecticides, waterproofing compounds, synthetic resins, dyes, anti-fade agents in brake lining and clutch facing (Asogawa et. al. 2007)
As an insecticide or pest repellant, CNSL has been shown to be effective against Aedes aegypti larvae and Biomphalaria glabrata snails (Laurens et. al. 1998). Cashew nut shells are also highly toxic to Callosobruchus subinnotatus , a pest of the bambarra-groundnut crop, however they also stunt the seed development bambarra-groundnuts (Oparaeke and Bunmi 2006). CNSL is also a very effective termite killer, killing 100% of soldiers and worker termites exposed to it by the 90th minute, which means it is of comparable effectiveness to currently marketed products (Asogawa et. al. 2007). It has been posited that wood treatment products to ward off termite attack created from CNSL are more environmentally friendly than other alternatives (Mwalongo et. al. 1999).
Medicinally, cashew nutshell oil (CNO) has proven to be effective at killing off the human intestinal worm ancylostomiasis and has additionally been observed to be highly effective against Trichuris and Ascaris, though the asserting study only observed three cases of each (Eichbaum, Koch-Wesser and Leoo 1950). In Brazil it has traditionally been used to treat ulcers, hypertension and diarrhea (Konan et. al. 2007). A study investigating whether such application may be potentially harmful tested for acute toxicity, 30-day subacute toxicity and genotoxicity in rats and found that rats showed no symptoms from exposure to crude extract but did exhibit induced frame-shift base pair substitution and damage to chromosomes (Konan et. al. 2007).
The cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) is a tropical evergreen tree that produces the cashew nut and the cashew apple. It can grow as high as 14 metres (46 ft), but the dwarf cashew, growing up to 6 metres (20 ft), has proved more profitable, with earlier maturity and higher yields.
The cashew nut is served as a snack or used in recipes, like other nuts, although it is actually a seed. The cashew apple is a fruit, whose pulp can be processed into a sweet, astringent fruit drink or distilled into liqueur.
The shell of the cashew nut yields derivatives that can be used in many applications from lubricants to paints, and other parts of the tree have traditionally been used for snake-bites and other folk remedies.
Originally native to northeastern Brazil, the tree is now widely grown in tropical regions, India and Nigeria being major producers,[1] in addition to Vietnam, the Ivory Coast, and Indonesia.
Its English name derives from the Portuguese for the fruit of the cashew tree caju (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɐˈʒu]). Which itself is derived from the indigenous Tupian name acajú, literally meaning "nut that produces itself".[2] The name Anacardium, originally from the Greek, actually refers to the nut, core or heart of the fruit, which is outwardly located (ana means "upwards" and -cardium means "heart").
Habitat and growth[edit]
The cashew tree is large and evergreen, growing to 10-12m (~32 ft) tall, with a short, often irregularly shaped trunk. The leaves are spirally arranged, leathery textured, elliptic to obovate, 4 to 22 cm long and 2 to 15 cm broad, with smooth margins. The flowers are produced in a panicle or corymb up to 26 cm long; each flower is small, pale green at first, then turning reddish, with five slender, acute petals 7 to 15 mm long. The largest cashew tree in the world covers an area of about 7,500 square metres (81,000 sq ft); it is located in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.
The fruit of the cashew tree is an accessory fruit (sometimes called a pseudocarp or false fruit). What appears to be the fruit is an oval or pear-shaped structure, a hypocarpium, that develops from the pedicel and the receptacle of the cashew flower.[3] Called the cashew apple, better known in Central America as marañón, it ripens into a yellow and/or red structure about 5–11 cm long. It is edible, and has a strong "sweet" smell and a sweet taste. The pulp of the cashew apple is very juicy, but the skin is fragile, making it unsuitable for transport. In Latin America, a fruit drink is made from the cashew apple pulp which has a very refreshing taste and tropical flavor that can be described as having notes of mango, raw green pepper, and just a little hint of grapefruit-like citrus.
The true fruit of the cashew tree is a kidney or boxing-glove shaped drupe that grows at the end of the cashew apple. The drupe develops first on the tree, and then the pedicel expands to become the cashew apple. Within the true fruit is a single seed, the cashew nut. Although a nut in the culinary sense, in the botanical sense the nut of the cashew is a seed. The seed is surrounded by a double shell containing an allergenic phenolic resin, anacardic acid, a potent skin irritant chemically related to the better-known allergenic oil urushiol which is also a toxin found in the related poison ivy. Properly roasting cashews destroys the toxin, but it must be done outdoors as the smoke (not unlike that from burning poison ivy) contains urushiol droplets which can cause severe, sometimes life-threatening, reactions by irritating the lungs. People who are allergic to cashew (or poison ivy) urushiols may cross-react to mango or pistachio which are also in the Anacardiaceae family. Some people are allergic to cashew nuts, but cashews are a less frequent allergen than other nuts or peanuts.[4]
While the cashew plant is native to northeast Brazil, the Portuguese took it to Goa, India, between 1560 and 1565. From there it spread throughout Southeast Asia and eventually Africa.[5]
Cashew nut[edit]
Cashew nuts are a popular snack and food source. Cashews, unlike other oily tree nuts, contain starch to about 10% of their weight. This makes them more effective than other nuts in thickening water-based dishes such as soups, meat stews, and some Indian milk-based desserts. Many southeast Asian cuisines use cashews for this unusual characteristic, rather than other nuts.[6]
The shell of the cashew nut is toxic, which is why the nut is never sold in the shell to consumers.[7]
Cashew nuts are commonly used in Indian cuisine, whole for garnishing sweets or curries, or ground into a paste that forms a base of sauces for curries (e.g., korma), or some sweets (e.g., kaju barfi). It is also used in powdered form in the preparation of several Indian sweets and desserts. In Goan cuisine, both roasted and raw kernels are used whole for making curries and sweets.
The cashew nut can also be harvested in its tender form, when the shell has not hardened and is green in color. The shell is soft and can be cut with a knife and the kernel extracted, but it is still corrosive at this stage, so gloves are required. The kernel can be soaked in turmeric water to get rid of the corrosive material before use. Cashew nuts are also used in Thai and Chinese cuisine, generally in whole form.
In the Philippines, cashew is a known product of Antipolo, and is eaten with suman. Pampanga also has a sweet dessert called turrones de casuy, which is cashew marzipan wrapped in white wafers.
In Indonesia, roasted and salted cashew nut is called kacang mete or kacang mede, while the cashew apple is called jambu monyet (literally means monkey rose apple).
In Mozambique, bolo polana is a cake prepared using powdered cashews and mashed potatoes as the main ingredients. This dessert is popular in South Africa, too.[8]
South American countries have developed their own specialities. In Brazil, the cashew fruit juice is popular all across the country. In Panama, the cashew fruit is cooked with water and sugar for a prolonged time to make a sweet, brown, paste-like dessert called dulce de marañón. Marañón is one of the Spanish names for cashew.

Cashew nuts are produced in tropical countries because the tree is very frost sensitive; they have been adapted to various climatic regions around the world between the latitudes of 25°N and 25°S.[10] The traditional cashew tree is tall (up to 14 m) and takes three years from planting before it starts production, and eight years before economic harvests can begin. More recent breeds, such as the dwarf cashew trees, are up to 6 m tall, and start producing after the first year, with economic yields after three years. The cashew nut yields for the traditional tree are about 0.25 metric tons per hectare, in contrast to over a ton per hectare for the dwarf variety. Grafting and other modern tree management technologies are used to further improve and sustain cashew nut yields in commercial orchards.[5]
Vietnam was the world's largest producer of cashew nuts with shell in 2012. Cashew nut production trends have varied over the decades. African countries used to be the major producers before the 1980s; India became the largest producer in the 1990s, followed by Vietnam which became the largest producer in the mid-2000s. In 2008, Nigeria had become the largest producer.[9] As of 2014 though, the rapid growth of the culture in Côte d'Ivoire made this country the first African producer, first global exporter and second world producer after India.[11] Peru reported the world's highest production yields for cashew nuts in 2012, at 5.11 metric tons per hectare, nearly nine times the world average.[9]
Fluctuations in world market prices for cashew nuts have been a source of discontent for communities in Tanzania which grow the nut as a cash crop; reduced payments in April 2013 sparked serious rioting in Liwale District in the south of the country.[12]
The fats and oils in cashew nuts are 62% monounsaturated fat, 18% polyunsaturated fat, and 21% saturated fat [13] (9% palmitic acid (16:0) and 7% stearic acid (18:0))[citation needed].
Cashews, as with other tree nuts, are a good source of antioxidants. Alkyl phenols, in particular, are abundant in cashews.[14][15] Cashews are also a source of dietary trace minerals copper, manganese, magnesium and phosphorus.[16]
For some people, cashews, like other tree nuts, can lead to complications or allergic reactions. Cashews contain gastric and intestinal soluble oxalates, albeit less than some other tree nuts; people with a tendency to form kidney stones may need moderation and medical guidance.[17] Allergies to tree nuts such as cashews can be of severe nature to some people. These allergic reactions can be life-threatening or even fatal; prompt medical attention is necessary if tree nut allergy reaction is observed. These allergies are triggered by the proteins found in tree nuts, and cooking often does not remove or change these proteins. Reactions to cashew and other tree nuts can also occur as a consequence of hidden nut ingredients or traces of nuts that may inadvertently be introduced during food processing, handling or manufacturing. Many nations require food label warning if the food may get inadvertent exposure to tree nuts such as cashews. Individuals with IgE-mediated allergy to cashews are highly likely to be sensitized to the botanically related pistachio nut.[18][19][20]
In some people, cashew nut allergy may be a different form, namely birch pollen allergy. This is usually a minor form. Symptoms are confined largely to the mouth.
Cashew oil[edit]
Cashew oil is a dark yellow oil for cooking or salad dressing pressed from cashew nuts (typically broken chunks created during processing). This may be produced from a single cold pressing.[21]
Cashew shell oil[edit]
Cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL) or cashew shell oil (CAS registry number 8007-24-7) is a natural resin with a yellowish sheen found in the honeycomb structure of the cashew nutshell, and is a byproduct of processing cashew nuts. It is a raw material of multiple uses in developing drugs, antioxidants, fungicides, etc. It is used in tropical folk medicine and for anti-termite treatment of timber.[22] Its composition varies depending on how it is processed.
- Cold, solvent extracted CNSL is mostly composed of anacardic acids (70%),[23] cardol (18%) and cardanol (5%).[24]
- Heating CNSL decarboxylates the anacardic acids, producing a technical grade of CNSL that is rich in cardanol. Distillation of this material gives distilled, technical CNSL containing 78% cardanol and 8% cardol (cardol has one more hydroxyl group than cardanol).[24] This process also reduces the degree of thermal polymerization of the unsaturated alkyl-phenols present in cashew nutshell liquid.
- Anacardic acid is also used in the chemical industry for the production of cardanol, which is used for resins, coatings, and frictional materials.[23][24]
These substances are skin allergens, like the oils of poison ivy, and present danger during manual cashew processing.[22]
This natural oil phenol has been found to have interesting chemical structural features which enable a range of chemical modifications to create a wide spectrum of bio-based monomers capitalizing on the chemically versatile construct, containing three different functional groups: the aromatic ring, the hydroxyl group and the double bonds in the flanking alkyl chain. These can be split into key groups, used as polyols, which have recently seen a dramatic increase in demand for their bio-based origin and key chemical attributes such as high reactivity, range of functionalities, reduction in blowing agents and naturally occurring fire retardant properties in the field of ridged polyurethanes aided by their inherent phenolic structure and larger number of reactive units per unit mass.
Composite Technical Services (Kettering, Ohio, USA) has researched the use of cashew shell oil as a resin for carbon composite products.[25] CNSL-based Novolac is another versatile industrial monomer deriving from cardanol typically used as a reticulating agent for epoxy matrices in composite applications providing good thermal and mechanical properties to the final composite material.
Other uses of cashew shell oil have been explored, including as an additive to brake fluid, to reduce brake fade and brake lining wear.[26] CNSL-derived materials also are being evaluated in the fields of chemical intermediates, additives, stabilizers, lubricants, diesel engine fuel alternatives, poor point dispersants, anti-oxidants, and anticorrosive paints. Abrasives and friction dusts also have been developed from Residol, the residue byproduct of this synthesis process.[27]
Cashew apple[edit]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (April 2013)
The cashew apple, also called cashew fruit, is the fleshy part of the cashew fruit that is attached to the cashew nut. The top end of the cashew apple is attached to the stem that comes off the tree. The bottom end of the cashew apple attaches to the cashew nut, which is encased in a shell. In botanical terms, the cashew apple is an accessory fruit that grows on the cashew seed (which is the nut).
The cashew apple is a soft fruit, rich in nutrients, and contains five times more vitamin C than an orange. It is eaten fresh, cooked in curries, or fermented into vinegar, as well as an alcoholic drink. It is also used to make preserves, chutneys, and jams in some countries such as India and Brazil. In many countries, particularly in South America, the cashew apple is used to flavor drinks, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. In Brazil, it is a popular fruit flavor for the national drink, the caipirinha.
In much of Brazil, people regard the cashew apple as the delicacy, rather than the nut kernel which is popular elsewhere. In fact, in parts of Brazil and neighbour countries, the cashew apple is more popular as a food than is the cashew nut. A large reason for this is simply the availability of cashew apples. They tend to be popular where they are readily available.[citation needed]
Cashew nuts are more popular than cashew apples in many parts of the world—regions that do not grow cashews—because the fruit, unlike the nut, is difficult to transport to these places. Unlike cashew nuts, cashew apples are extremely soft and easily bruised in shipment. For this reason, cashew juice and cashew juice concentrate are often shipped to these nonlocal countries instead of the fresh fruit.
Cashew apples have a sweet but astringent taste. This astringency has been traced to the waxy layer on the skin that contains a chemical, urushiol, which can cause minor skin irritation to areas that have had contact with it. It is almost identical to the astringency caused by the skin of a mango, which also contains urushiol. The astringency from mango skin can be mildly tasted in the flesh of mango fruit, just as the astringency of cashew apple skin can be mildly tasted in the flesh of cashew apples. In cultures that consume cashew apples, this astringency is sometimes removed by steaming the fruit for five minutes before washing it in cold water; alternatively, boiling the fruit in salt water for five minutes or soaking it in gelatin solution also reduces the astringency.[6][28] When mixed in drinks or used as a flavoring, the astringency becomes highly diluted and typically causes no irritation to those without urushiol allergies.
In Goa, the cashew apple (the accessory fruit) is mashed, the juice is extracted and kept for fermentation for a few days. Fermented juice then undergoes a double distillation process. The resulting beverage is called feni or fenny. Feni is about 40-42% alcohol. The single-distilled version is called urrac, which is about 15% alcohol.
In the southern region of Mtwara, Tanzania, the cashew apple (bibo in Swahili) is dried and saved. Later it is reconstituted with water and fermented, then distilled to make a strong liquor often referred to by the generic name, gongo.
In Mozambique, cashew farmers commonly make a strong liquor from the cashew apple, agua ardente (burning water).
According to An Account of the Island of Ceylon by Robert Percival[29] an alcohol had been distilled in the early 20th century from the juice of the fruit, and had been manufactured in the West Indies. Apparently, the Dutch considered it superior to brandy as a liqueur.
Medicinal uses[edit]
Many parts of the plant are used in the traditional medicine of the Patamona of Guyana. They grind the seeds into a poultice for treating snakebites, apply nut oil to cracked heels or as an antifungal agent, and use the fruits, bark, and leaves for many other purposes including anti-fungal activity, for sores and rashes, or as an antipyretic, and for antidiarrheal applications.[30][31] The leaf extracts with petroleum ether and ethanol inhibited growth of several species of bacteria and fungi.[31] Chemicals identified in cashew shell oil have been assayed against Streptococcus mutans, a bacterium responsible for many dental cavities, and found to have activity in vitro against this and other Gram positive bacteria.[32]

She may have lost out to the young talent of Charlotte Dujardin at Olympia, but the 43-year-old German has written many lines in the modern history of the sport.
Double Olympic champion in 1996 in Atlanta with Gigolo, Werth repeated the feat in 2008, only with Satchmo.
In 2000 she won team gold but had to settle for individual silver after losing out to her greatest rival Anky van Grunsven andBonfire. Indeed, her rivalry with the Dutchwoman over the years inspired a whole generation of dressage riders.
In more recent times Werth has had to contend with the likes of Dujardin and another young pretender Adelinde Cornelissen, but she remains on course to reach April's World Cup final in Gothenburg.
She has only started once in the World Cup this season but has already accrued 17 points, almost half of what she is likely to need to qualify.
And with three qualifiers to go, and one of them in Germany - Neumünster in February - Werth remains on course to book her place in Sweden.

Receiving error "MapPress database tables are missing. Please deactivate the plugin and activate it again to fix this." on all sub-sites of a WordPress network.
Looking at the changelog I see that there's new options in MapPress 2.0.4, so I'm guessing that this error is because those new options are accompanied by new database tables that are only created for the primary site, but none of the other sites on the network.
Could I get confirmation if this is the case and an indication of whether there'll be a fix or whether we have to individually activate the plugin on every site. (Really don't want to do the latter: there's well over 100 sites.)

Presley: FCC maps will cost broadband funding
Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley announced that the Public Service Commission yesterday unanimously approved the first in a series of filings with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for the purpose of expanding cellular telephone coverage and high speed internet service in Mississippi.
The filings come in response to FCC requests for comments on coverage issues associated with its Mobility Fund and National Broadband Map. The FCC distributes funds for mobile and broadband assistance based on need, heightening the importance ofaccurate data on where such service is lacking. Presley says the current maps on file with the FCC show that Mississippi is almost entirely covered with high speed internet service which he says is inaccurate.

My older sister is going to throw a hissy when she hears that we had this for dessert and she didn't get any, because this is one of her favorite desserts of all time. But I don't know what I can do about it: she lives an hour away, and this stuff needs to be eaten warm. So I'll just share the recipe with you, my loyal readers. Prepare yourselves for a taste of heaven!
Hot Fudge Pudding-Cake
Base layer:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp. cocoa powder (sift to remove lumps)
1/2 cup milk
2 Tbsp. cooking oil
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup cocoa powder (sifted)
You will also need 1 3/4 cups boiling water.
Preheat your oven to 350 (325 if using a dark coated pan).
Blend flour, baking powder, salt, gran. sugar, and 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder together in a bowl. Add milk, oil, and (if desired) nuts. Spread this mixture in a 9″ square pan. No need to grease the pan.
In a small bowl, blend together brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the batter in the pan. Pour 1 3/4 cups boiling water over this whole deal. It will look like this:
Mind you, I made 1 1/2 times the original recipe I'm giving here, because I have 5 kids, so the picture shows a 9″ x 13″ pan. Yours should be about 2/3 this size if you are making the recipe as given.
Now carefully slide this into your hot oven and bake for 45 min. It will look like this when you remove it from the oven:
Let this cool about half an hour before serving. You want it to be nice and warm, but not mouth-burningly hot. Scoop out a nice big portion and flip it over in a bowl. Now you'll see that magically, as the recipe baked, it developed a fudge pudding layer on the bottom and a cakey layer on top. That's why it's called "pudding-cake." See?
Note that the proper way to eat this baby is to slather it in vanilla ice cream. Believe me, it is worth every calorie. And generally speaking, I am a vanilla person, not a chocolate person, so that's saying something. Same goes for my son Ryan, who pretty much licked his bowl clean tonight.
You can thank me later. Right now, I need to go workout!
P.S.: We tried PW's "Marlboro Man's Favorite Sandwich" tonight. Got 4 stars, but we all thought it needed a little less of the worcestershire sauce and a little more beef broth or bouillon instead. Otherwise, primo stuff!

LiLo does 'doctor shopping' for prescription meds
According to a source, Lohan goes to six different doctors for prescriptions.
"When one doctor says no to refilling a prescription, she will go to the next. It's a whole process to get what she needed, " TMZ quoted the source as saying.
Lindsay who has prescriptions for- Zoloft (antidepressant), Trazodone (antidepressant), Adderall (stimulant to control ADHD), Nexium (acid reflux) and the extremely powerful painkiller Dilaudid, have doctors both in Los Angeles and New York.
In fact, one of her past rehab facilities still prescribes her meds.
The source even added that, Lohan "would get a large supply every time" she visited a doctor. (ANI)

Any form of PR adopted in this country would still favour the two major parties and make it possible for them to win a majority with around 46% of the electorate behind them (which has happened before), and evidence from New Zealand suggests that that moving from FPTP to PR does not massively damage the two major parties. Having said that, you're right, the fringe parties would all get their fair share of seats - and under the results of this poll as they've been going, they would be a powerful force indeed.
If we had PR in this country, we'd probably have 300 MPs elected in constituencies with the remaining 300 seats being handed out so the final result more or less reflected the total share of the vote for each party. However, Labour and the Tories would be prone to winning more constituencies than their share of the vote entitles them to - this wouldn't take away from the other parties, but it makes it possible for the two major parties to win thin majorities in landslide years. It would be possible for a party like the Lib Dems, the Greens or UKIP to win an election by becoming the largest party in Parliament, though!
I've worked up the poll as it was at 115 votes and this time calculated how it would work under PR as well as FPTP. The PR numbers might not match perfectly due to hasty calculation, but they are accurate within a margin of 5 seats - the constituencies, of course, are purely hypothetical predictions of how reducing the number of seats to 300 would affect the major parties.
Party Name: FPTP result [change] / PR Constituencies + Topup Seats = Total Seats under PR [change]
Conservative Party: 311 [+13] / 163 + 6 = 169 [-129]
Labour Party: 167 [-65] / 80 + 30 = 110 [-121]
Liberal Democrats: 22 [-24] / 8 + 44 = 52 [+6]
Green Party (GPEW + SGP): 2 [+2] / 1 + 51 = 52 [+52]
Scottish National Party: 52 [+46] / 26 + 5 = 31 [+25]
Plaid Cymru: 29 [+28] / 14 + 9 = 23 [+22]
British National Party: 0 [+/- 0] / 0 + 15 = 15 [+15]
Sinn Féin: 6 [+1] / 3 + 1 = 4 [-1]
Social Democratic and Labour Party: 3 [+/- 0] / 2 + 2 = 4 [+1]
Conservatives and Unionists - New Force: 6 [+6] / 3 + 0 = 3 [+3]
Alliance: 1 [+/- 0] / 1 + 0 = 1 [+/- 0]
Democratic Unionist Party: 0 [-7] / 0 + 0 = 0 [-7]
Others and Independents: 1 [+1] / 0 + 26 = 26 [+26]
Speaker of the House: 1 [+/- 0] / 1 + 0 = 1 [+/- 0]
FPTP Result: Conservative overall majority of 34
PR Result: Hung Parliament with the Conservatives 127 seats short of a working majority
Labour all the way!!!

Watch from 40 seconds in; it basically sums up my attitude to politicians and political parties:
Broadly speaking I'm towards the left of the conservative party. There are a lot of things I agree with them on but if their right became less marginalised I would probably swing to another party.
I'm really surprised how many students on a student forum voted Tory in this poll...
(Original post by When you see it...)
TSR centre left? I would say that it is quite right-wing and here is my proof. Middle class people would be more likely to vote for UKIP anyway (assuming you are saying as opposed to working class).
You have recently started voting for the Greens then?
SNP, Scottish Socialist Party and Scottish Green Party.
I don't support any by reason of values/ideology.

Hospice Care
A program to deliver palliative care to individuals who are in the final stages of terminal illness. In addition to providing palliative care and personal support to the patient, hospice includes support for the patient's family while the patient is dying, and grief support after death.
Life-sustaining Treatment
Treatments (medical procedures) that replace or support an essential bodily function (may also be called life-support treatments). Life-sustaining treatments include cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, artificial nutrition and hydration, dialysis, and certain other treatments.
Living Will
A type of advance directive in which an individual documents his or her wishes about future medical treatment if he or she is at the end of life and unable to communicate. It may also be called a "directive to physicians," "health care declaration," or "medical directive." The purpose of a living will is to guide family members and doctors in deciding how aggressively to use medical treatments to delay death.
Medical Power of Attorney
A document that allows an individual to appoint someone else to make decisions about his or her medical care if he or she is unable to communicate. It may also be called a health care proxy, durable power of attorney for health care, or appointment of a health care agent or surrogate. The person appointed may be called a health care agent, surrogate, attorney-in-fact, or proxy.
Palliative Care
A comprehensive approach to treating serious illness that focuses on the physical, psychological, spiritual, and existential needs of the patient. Its goal is to achieve the best quality of life available to the patient by relieving suffering, controlling pain and symptoms, and enabling the patient to achieve maximum functional capacity. Respect for the patient's culture, beliefs, and values are an essential component. Palliative care is sometimes called comfort care.
Withholding or Withdrawing Treatment
Forgoing life-sustaining measures or discontinuing them after they have been used for a certain period of time.

Froch: Nobody Beats Ward at 168, British Boxing is Well
By Kevin Francis, courtesy of The Daily Star
CARL FROCH is determined to put British boxing back on the map after losing his WBC world super-middleweight title at the weekend.
His emphatic points defeat at the hands of American Andre Ward came just a week after Amir Khan surrendered his WBA light-welterweight title to Lamont Peterson.
And with David Haye also losing his world heavyweight belt in 2011, it leaves WBO light-heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly as Britain's only holder of one of the top four titles.
But the 34-year-old Nottingham bruiser claims British boxing is still strong.
Froch said: "I think the overall state of British boxing is good.
"I know we've lost a few world champions, but that's because we're all competing at the top level.
"Amir Khan lost to a bad decision and I've lost a decision to someone who I can't see getting beat.
"Who is there to beat Andre Ward? I can't see anyone and he could be boxing's next superstar. So, I'm the No.2 super-middleweight in the world, which is not a bad position to be in.
"It's not looking as good as it was because British boxers have lost a succession of world title fights this year – David Haye, John Murray, Amir Khan and now myself – so it's not the best.
"But we're competing at the top level and I'm certainly showcasing Britain abroad and representing Britain proudly."
Froch is determined to win another world title, just like he did after suffering his only other professional defeat at the hands of Mikkel Kessler in April 2010.
His promoter Eddie Hearn is negotiating a possible double header with unbeaten IBF champ Lucian Bute and there is also the option of a rematch with Kessler, who is due to fight WBO title holder Robert Stieglitz next.
Froch is completely devastated at losing the WBC title for a second time, but is still hungry for success in the ring.
He said: "I love the sport. I love getting up in the morning, getting my kit on and going running. I'm like a lunatic.
"I don't like being unfit or out of shape.
"While I'm enjoying it, still making the weight, loving the sparring and having success, why shouldn't I keep doing it?
"I still have the desire. This defeat hasn't ripped the heart out of me and made me think of hanging up my gloves forever."
Froch just can't refrain from talking crap. He [I]thinks[/I] he's number two in the world, really? Maybe Bute and Kessler would argue over that point. He seems to be more popular in the states than he is at home, maybe…Comment by Joeyzagz on 12-20-2011

Paul Jacobs (organist)
|Paul Jacobs
Paul Jacobs at the Schermerhorn Organ, 2015
|Background information
Washington, Pennsylvania
|Classical music
|Naxos and JAV Recordings
Paul Jacobs (born 1977) is an American organist. He is the first organist to receive a Grammy Award. Jacobs is currently the chair of the Juilliard School's organ department.
Paul Jacobs began piano lessons at age five and organ lessons at age 12 in his hometown of Washington, Pennsylvania. At age 15 he was appointed head organist of Immaculate Conception Church, a parish of over 3,500 families.[1] Jacobs then attended the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, double-majoring in organ and harpsichord,[2] while serving as organist at the Washington Memorial Chapel in Valley Forge National Historical Park. During his final semester as an undergraduate student, he performed the complete organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach several times, including once in an 18-hour non-stop marathon concert in Pittsburgh on the 250th anniversary of the composer's death (July 28, 2000).[3] Jacobs completed a master's degree from the Yale School of Music, studying organ with Thomas Murray.[4] Jacobs has performed the complete organ works of Olivier Messiaen in eight American cities since 2002, each time in a nine-hour marathon concert.[5]
In 2003 Jacobs was invited to join the faculty of the Juilliard School and the following year, was named chairman of its organ department, making him one of the youngest faculty appointments in the school's history.[1] Winning accolades and awareness for the pipe organ from both critics and audiences alike, Jacobs has performed on five continents, and by the age of 32 performed in each of the 50 United States. His repertoire includes music from the 16th century through contemporary times, including new works written for him. He has appeared as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony, the Phoenix Symphony, and the Pacific Symphony.
Jacobs is known for playing demanding programs exclusively from memory. He has memorized the complete works of Olivier Messiaen, as well as the complete works of Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms, and César Franck.[1]
In addition to numerous awards and honors, Jacobs was the first organist to be given the Harvard Musical Association's Arthur W. Foote Award in 2004. He received the Yale School of Music's Distinguished Alumni Award in 2005, and in 2007 he was awarded the William Schuman Scholars Chair at the Juilliard School.
He won a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (without orchestra) at the 53rd Grammy Awards in 2011 for his recording of Messiaen: Livre Du Saint-Sacrement.[6]
An advocate for new music, Jacobs has premiered works by Mason Bates, Michael Daugherty, Christopher Theofanidis, Samuel Adler, and Wayne Oquin.[1][7][8]

"Use from __future__ import unicode_literals" is a suggested practice. It's a *good* suggested practice, a a helpful suggested practice for maintenance purposes, but It's entirely possible to write working code that doesn't use the unicode literals import. Django has a lot of legacy code that has been tested and works fine (as far as our tests reveal) without these imports existing.
"Just Add unicode_literals" isn't a magic bug fixing strategy - and even if it was, we'd need a test that demonstrates the problem that it solves.
If you're getting a stack trace, then there's either a bug in your code, or there's a bug in Django. Unfortunately, instead of showing us some sample code that causes a problem, or showing us the actual stack trace you've received, you've chosen to complain about absolute adherence to a suggested coding guideline (and I'll note that the link you provide is about using unicode in your own code, not Django's internal coding standards).
Closing as invalid because there's nothing actionable here.
If you want to provide sample code that crashes, or a specific test case where unicode_literals will fix the problem -- feel free to reopen.

I wouldn't call that bug "invalid". It's true that we I dropped the ball mid-way with regard to unicode_literals while porting to Python 3.
I stopped when I reached code that wasn't well tested, mostly in django.contrib.gis, because adding unicode_literals created actual bugs. Adding unicode_literals to every file isn't an option. It would trigger a slew of regressions.
That said, we should continue adding unicode_literals when we have the opportunity, which means, when we add tests.
Re-closing "needsinfo", please provide the stack trace for the problem you encountered and reopen.

Dear Support and dear WP users,
Could you please help me to use WP in French? I've already gone through all the steps here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_in_Your_Language ,and everything seems ok (.mo and .po files, language folder, define WPLANG etc). I can't explain why both the admin and the site are still in English, except for the parts that I could translate myself like the titles in the sidebar.
My config : Mac OS X 10.5.8, Firefox 15.0.1 and occasionally Safari 5.0.6 (that I can't upgrade anymore) in which I dowloaded WP 3.4.2, hosted by OVH.
It would be great if someone could reply, thanks in advance!
