Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport today took the first step on the road to the 2017 Formula One season with the official presentation of the new F1 W08 EQ Power+.
The new car was launched to the team's fans from the Silverstone garages via a live 360-degree broadcast on Facebook, YouTube and the Team's official website - reinforcing the "fan first" approach that has grown Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport's social media community into the sport's largest, at over 14 million people.
The Launch was held as part of the Team's official 100 km Filming Day, during which the F1 W08 EQ Power+ completed its first laps on Silverstone's 2.96 km International Circuit, in the hands of both Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas.

For all the photos from today's event - Go to the home page and view the 2017 F1 Launch Gallery.
The all-new F1 W08 EQ Power+ has been designed to maximize the performance opportunities offered by radically different aerodynamic regulations for the 2017 season which will probably see the new cars become the quickest in the history of the sport - while leaving sufficient scope for an in-season development rate expected to be among the fastest ever in Formula One.
The M08 EQ Power+ is the fourth iteration of the Turbo Hybrid generation of Power Units and has been conceived to withstand significantly increased physical loads and a more severe duty cycle under the new rules, while also maximizing potential performance developments.
Upon unveiling the new car, Toto Wolff commented:
"The new rules for 2017 were designed to make the fastest F1 cars ever through a big increase in aerodynamic performance. They should be more physical to drive and hopefully more spectacular for the fans to watch. The proof will come in the opening races but we have probably achieved that target.
"Of course, in terms of relative performance, it's clear that any rule change brings with it a big reset but also a big opportunity. This is the time to stay humble and keep our feet on the ground. None of the teams has raced under these rules and we all have the same points right now: zero.
"But the dominant feeling in the team right now is one of excitement - the factory is buzzing with anticipation. It has been a really motivating challenge to develop a brand new car concept and I have never seen our determination to succeed higher than it is right now.
"Of course, we had a curve ball from Nico late last year that left us scrambling a little bit in the winter. But we found a great solution with Valtteri and I am sure that he will form a strong partnership with Lewis. They have both been working hard in the factory with the technical teams and, although we have a different dynamic to manage than in recent seasons, I don't expect the competition between them to be less intense. And that's how we like it.
"This year, in-season development will play a big role in determining the championship outcome. None of us know where we will stand at the first race but I am confident that, whatever that position is, we have the people and the capability to deal with every challenge that comes our way. This will be the season where our full works team can show its true strength."
What's in a name?
Today's launch is not just the premiere of a new car - it also marks the global debut of a new technology label throughout the model range of Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes-Benz.
At the 2016 Paris Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz unveiled its new product brand for electric mobility: EQ. The name EQ stands for "Electric Intelligence" and is derived from the Mercedes-Benz brand values of "Emotion and Intelligence". EQ aims to make electric mobility simple, comfortable, safe and accessible for everybody.
From the forthcoming facelift of the S-Class, all future Mercedes-Benz Plug-In Hybrids will carry the designation "EQ Power". And the launch of the F1 W08 EQ Power+ makes the new F1 car the first Mercedes-AMG Hybrid to receive the "EQ Power+" designation, which will be used on all future Mercedes-AMG performance hybrids.
The new model designation has been translated graphically into the livery of the new W08, with an electric blue visual representation of the airflow across the car running from the front wing to trailing edge of the sidepods. This distinctive signature derives from the electro-look of the Concept EQ unveiled last year.
A complementary, competitive driver pairing
One of the most significant changes for the new season sees Valtteri Bottas become just the fourth Silver Arrows driver of the modern era in 2017. Next to him in the garage will be three-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who comes to the new season refreshed and reinvigorated.
"It's been a fantastic winter and an exciting training season for me," explained Lewis of his preparations for the increased physical demands of 2017.
"I've added a new element to my training regime that has kept it really enjoyable and I'm in great shape. Then I've visited the factory and that has been super encouraging to see the way in which everybody is working.
"After all the success we have had, people could be sitting back and resting on their achievements. So it's inspiring to see how everybody is pushing even harder than ever and taking nothing for granted at all.
"This is the most exciting period of the year when the car comes together - and my privilege as a driver is then to get to feel what it's like and what all the team has worked for.
"There's not too much point setting goals until we've really driven the car, so I'm going to go with the flow until we understand the possibilities.
"I'm feeling in a positive place with the team - we talked about a lot of stuff over the winter, I was able to get some things off my chest and now we are communicating better than ever and continuing to grow together.
"I'm the best equipped I have ever been to work with my team-mate and manage the relationship with my experience and maturity.
"I welcome Valtteri to the team and I know that the team will be giving us both everything they can to win the championship."
New arrival Valtteri Bottas is equally excited at the prospect of the new season:
"It's a new chapter in my career, a new team, new regulations... new everything!
"I've been waiting for a long time to get this car out on track and, although this is just a Filming Day, I'm looking forward to starting to test properly next week in Barcelona and to really understand the car that we've been given by everybody in Brixworth and Brackley.
"It has been a busy winter for me since signing with Mercedes and we have tried to make the most of the time we have had.
"We've been going day by day, making the most of each one, spending a lot of time in Brackley and going through as much stuff as possible with the engineers.
"I feel well prepared in such a short time but, of course, the learning curve is still steep and I'm getting more useful information every day. It's up to us to make the most out of the time together.
"In terms of my physical preparation, I think I have done the most amount of training of any winter so far. I have done some good training camps and feel in the best shape I've ever been, definitely ready for the season ahead.
"Right now, it's a very exciting feeling for me. I want to say a big thank you to everyone in our factories for getting this car ready to go. It's been a massive effort and I've got a lot of respect for the shape we are in at the moment.
"But it's only the first step - and this is where the work really begins."
A brand new technical challenge
In Formula One, major regulation changes have usually been designed to limit performance and provide the technical teams with new constraints to work within. The new rules for 2017 opened up a new and exciting challenge - the freedom to explore a more generous set of regulations, coupled with the uncertainty of not knowing exactly where targets should be set, or what will represent a good result.
If last year's W07 was all about refinement and elaborate, detailed evolution, the W08 project has gone back to first principles. With the car having to be designed before running the definitive 2017 tyres, and in some parts before the regulations had even been finalized, it was important to arrive quickly at a sound base architecture, while following a flexible, adaptable philosophy to allow scope for major developments during the season. With this in mind, only 17% of the components in W08 have been carried over from its predecessor, with the team's main focus lying on optimizing the car within the new aerodynamic regulations.
This is also the first major regulation change to occur under the Aerodynamic Testing Regulations (ATR), which limit every team to the same maximum amount of wind tunnel testing - 65 runs per week. Given the extent of the regulation changes, the first W08 concept ran in the team's 60% Brackley wind tunnel before the first race of last season and has completed over 2,000 runs during its development so far.
In addition to the new shapes of front and rear wing, the biggest areas of aerodynamic opportunity are the floor and the barge board area in front of the sidepods, which have been the focus of significant work. And while the performance opportunity has been significant, the design teams have also worked to improve the W08 structurally in order to withstand the substantial increases in aerodynamic and mechanical loads.
The Power Unit, christened M08, has also been comprehensively redesigned for the new season. Although the previous token system did not constrain power unit development since 2014, its abolition allows the technical group more freedom for engineering solutions.
As ever, much focus has been on the primary energy conversion opportunity - the combustion process - but there are also many opportunities for gains further downstream, including within the engine ancillaries. The new aerodynamic regulations have had a significant impact on the configuration of the engine which, as a structural component of the car, must cope with significantly greater physical loads. To maintain its structural properties, the engine is therefore slightly heavier than its predecessor.
In addition to this comes an increased duty cycle, with the cars expected to spend approximately 10% more of every lap at full throttle - a change that is reflected in a 5% increase in race fuel allowance for the new season. M08 has also been designed for increased durability, with only four Power Units per driver per season permitted by regulation in 2017.
Barcelona Testing
The W08 EQ Power+ will begin its testing programme in Barcelona on Monday 27 February.
In order to maximize potential mileage across the fortnight of testing, the drivers will complete half-day sessions in the car as per the team's practice in 2016.
The schedule for the first week of testing will be as follows, weather permitting:
Monday 27 February Valtteri Bottas Lewis Hamilton
Tuesday 28 February Lewis Hamilton Valtteri Bottas
Wednesday 1 March Valtteri Bottas Lewis Hamilton
Thursday 2 March Lewis Hamilton Valtteri Bottas

Starbucks, Boeing post quarterly gains
Sun., July 31, 2011
Here is a summary of April-June earnings reported last week by Seattle-based Starbucks Corp., Chicago-based Boeing Co. and Federal Way-based Weyerhaeuser Co.:
STARBUCKS: Profit rose 34 percent to beat expectations for the world's largest coffee retailer. Despite tough economic times, more people are visiting its stores than last year at this time, and they're spending more. Starbucks raised its full-year forecast based on the strong trends, and its shares rose after hours.
The company earned $279.1 million, or 36 cents per share, for the quarter that ended July 3. That's up from $207.9 million, or 27 cents per share, earned in the same quarter last year. Revenue rose 12 percent to $2.93 billion.
Starbucks plans to add 800 stores in the 2012 fiscal year.
BOEING: Profit surged almost 20 percent as the company delivered more passenger planes. It raised its guidance for the year. Boeing also said Wednesday that it will not deliver as many of its new 787s and 747-8s this year as previously hoped.
Boeing earned $941 million, or $1.25 per share, in the quarter. Revenue rose 6.2 percent to $16.54 billion.
Boeing delivered 118 planes during the quarter, four more than a year ago. Revenue from commercial planes rose 19 percent to $8.84 billion. Operating profit from commercial planes jumped 35 percent to $920 million.
Boeing now expects to deliver 485 to 495 planes this year, five fewer than previously predicted.
WEYERHAEUSER: One of the world's largest lumber companies, Weyerhaeuser said Friday its second-quarter net income fell 29 percent, mostly because of a continued slide in its core wood products business.
The company earned $10 million, or 2 cents per share, compared with $14 million, or 7 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding one-time charges in the most recent quarter, earnings were $32 million, or 6 cents per share. This compares with earnings excluding charges of $42 million, or 20 cents per share, in the second quarter of 2010.
Revenue fell 2 percent to $1.61 billion from $1.64 billion.
Revenue in Weyerhaeuser's core wood products segment dropped to $726 million from $809 million the year before.

Apple: Why Is Its Discount to S&P So Much More Than MSFT, GE? Asks BMO
BMO Capital's Tim Long today reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of Apple (AAPL), and raises his price target to $160 from $142, after raising his estimate for the company's average sales price for the iPhone, and buried in the note is an interesting treatise on the stock-market discount of Apple's shares relative to past market-cap leaders like Microsoft (MSFT) and General Electric (GE).
Writing about iPhone, citing conversations with "Asian supply chain players in December and recent media reports from Bloomberg and others," Long runs through the now-familiar check list of new things in an iPhone, such as wireless charging and an "AMOLED" display. He opines there could be a "7 Plus if two models are introduced."
Long concludes there could be not one but two new, higher prices for the device when a new model presumably is unveiled later this year:
We are updating our Apple model in anticipation of iPhone portfolio changes expected in 2017. We believe Apple, which already commands the highest selling prices in the industry, will introduce a higher-priced model (or potentially two) in September alongside the standard iterative refresh to iPhone 7. We expect some cannibalization of both regular and large-screen models, but still model 11 million of incremental unit growth in the first twelve months, making the cycle the most successful refresh cycle since iPhone 6 was launched in 2014. We are raising our ASP estimates in conjunction with the higher mix.
He sees average price for iPhone this fiscal year ending in September of $666, above what he cites as consensus for $658, but for the following year, presuming the debut of an "iPhone 8," he sees that rising to $723 from $704. That's assuming a top-end model priced at $969 to $1,069.
Long offers the following projection of what the price mix may look like (click on the image to see it larger):
Perhaps of greater interest to investors, Long confesses to being "confused" by Apple's valuation.
"We estimate that in every year over the past decade except 2008, the largest company has traded at a discount to the market," he observes.
"The ten-year average discount is 16% versus the S&P 500," but "Apple has been the largest public company by market cap since 2012," and "in recent years, however, Apple has traded below the 10-year average, with a 35% discount in 2015 and 26% in 2016," and is currently 25%.
Long concluded that the gap will narrow, "particularly as the service business gains more attention."
Here's the chart of that relative discount (click on the image to see it larger):
AMD and Tesla: 'Double Slap' at Intel, Says Rosenblatt
Nvidia: Nevermind AMD 'Noise,' They'll Be Fine, Says RBC
Advanced Micro Helping Tesla on Car Chip, Says CNBC; Nvidia Falls
Cisco Will Buy NetApp, Says Summit Redstone, PSTG 'Shopping Itself'
The Hot Stock: Advanced Micro Devices Jumps 4.7%. Thanks Tesla!

Rocco Petrone: A Modern-Day Cathedral Builder
By John A. Stavola
"The Invisible Pyramid" by Loren Eisely contains a chapter entitled "The Spore Bearers". In it the fungus, Pilobolus, is likened to a rocket. The spore which will project the descendants of Pilobolus into the future prepare themselves with a light sensitive capsule to aim ever toward the brightest light. When the right chemical pressures are built up the cells beneath the capsule explode, hurling it several feet away. This enables Pilobolus, which grows on the dung of cattle, to transport itself to fresh grass where they will be consumed again by the cattle.
The influential German "philosopher-poet'" Oswald Spengler's attempt to discern an organic pattern to cultural history and the zeitgeist or spirit of an age is also invoked by Eiseley.
"Perhaps what he (Spengler) terms the Faustian culture-our own-began as early as the eleventh century with the growing addiction to great unfillible cathedrals with huge naves and misty recesses where space seemed to hover without limits. In the words of one architect, the Gothic arch is 'a bow always tending to expand.' Hidden within its tensions is the upward surge of the space rocket."

"All things that great men do are well done." – H.G. Bohn; Handbook of Proverbs, 1855
I am a child of the 1970's. I was too young to truly enjoy the music of the '60's (and all the drugs that went with it). Instead, I was 'lucky' enough to go through adolescence during that most wonderful epoch of music known as the Disco Era.
Unlike many of my peers in high school, however, I carried with myself something they didn't – an appreciation for musical genres of previous generations. Being from a fairly tight-knit family, growing up I was regularly exposed to the music of my parents and grandmother. As a result, I often found myself listening to songs my fellow teens mocked, if they bothered to listen to them at all! Continue reading

Sanguinaccio: From Mexico, Naples to Brooklyn
There are many laments uttered about the passing of traditions in the Italian American community.
Nobody does it the old way anymore. Not like we did it.
All the old ways are gone. Who has time these days?
And the heaviest, most guilt inducing of all these: Once I die, that's it.
I appreciate why Italian Americans feel this way. We've experienced the slow fadeout of our old neighborhoods, the rise of packaged foods, less time spent with our extended families and a strong lean toward products of convenience. But as a historian, I see transformations instead of endings and a chance to see how traditions are always changing.
The perfect example is sanguinaccio, a rich chocolate and pig's blood pudding that I'd been told absolutely nobody makes anymore. It can be found at some of New York's oldest pastry shops like Egidio's in the Bronx and Rocco's on Bleecker Street. Friends in Italy told me this disgusting concoction could only be found in remote, rural pockets of Campania, made by very old-fashioned farmers.
First, Vincenzina and Elena prep the ingredients
Surprised that sanguinaccio was resurging among my peers, all born in the 1970s, I looked to social media to see where else it might be alive and well. A quick hashtag search on Instagram, where 90% of its 150 million-person audience is between 18 and 35, revealed 846 recent pictures of sanguinaccio!
Then, they strain the blood
Its appearance during the pre-Lenten season is entirely secular and due to the necessity of Southern Italian farmers to slaughter their pigs in the cool, more sanitary late winter air. Neighbors from around the countryside would be asked to help and invited to feast on every piece of the pig that could not be preserved. The first product was always the sanguinaccio, which utilized blood from the pig's freshly slit throat. With chocolate and milk, it would be carefully transformed into a silky pudding.
Next, the chocolate is melted with milk
Mario Batali developed a blood-less version of sanguinaccio and after seeing all the chocolate used in the traditional recipe used by Elena Loguercio, a native of Sassano in the Cilento, I wondered if the blood was really necessary. The consensus among those I asked was that the blood added a certain depth and intensity to the pudding that was matchless. And so, a 400 year tradition born in Mexico continues. It's now been traded across the Atlantic twice, adapted, lost and reborn.
Elena Loguercio's Sanguenacc' from Sassano
1 liter of pasteurized blood
3 liters of regular milk
3 k of chocolate
1 kg sugar
1 pack of Perugina cacao
1/2 kg flour
1/2 kg granulated cookies
12 cups espresso
1 stick of butter
2 squeezed oranges, juice
1 cup of Sambuca
Melt chocolate with milk and let it cool off for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add blood to the pot, add the melted chocolate, slowly stir in dry ingredients and then the espresso. Turn the flame on to medium and stir all the ingredients in the pot in a consistent clockwise motion until it hardens, which takes about an hour. When it starts to feel like a soft pudding add the orange juice and Sambuca and keep stirring until the pudding has a firm texture.

A Nightmare on Greene Street
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire
|Scene at the morgue
By Niccolò Graffio
Sitting there in the motorman's class, I listened intently to the instructor as he attempted to impress upon us the importance of safety in the workplace. Picking up a soft cover book about the size of a notebook, he waved it in front of the class, trying to garner the attention of the know-it-alls who invariably find such lectures boring.
"This is a copy of New York City Transit's code of safety rules." he loudly announced. "We have a saying about this book: 'This is a book written in blood!' When I first came on this job, this book had only four pages. As you can see, this book is now a lot thicker. Every time someone was killed on this job, another page was added to this book." Suddenly he had everyone's attention. His grim meaning was abundantly clear to all: the job of transit worker is not an easy one. In fact, it's a very dangerous one! Continue reading

"All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination?" – Carl Jung
From the earliest days our ancestors walked this earth they sought out activities during their leisure time to amuse themselves or else divert their attention from the rigors of life. These activities are today collectively called "entertainment". Whether passive forms of entertainment, such as spectator sports or reading, or active forms, such as participatory sports and social dance, the underlying purpose was basically the same.

Remembering Civitella del Tronto: The Last Bastion of Bourbon Resistance
The Fortress of Civitella del Tronto, Abruzzi

By Giovanni di Napoli
"Rather than stay here, I would love to die in the Abruzzi in the midst of those good fighters." — Queen Maria Sofia, during her exile in the Papal States
March 20th marks the anniversary of the surrender of Civitella del Tronto, the last bastion of Bourbon resistance during the conquest of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. We honor the stalwart defenders by remembering them and those who fell before them.
When Giuseppe Garibaldi and his motley band of freebooters invaded Sicily on May 11, 1860 he set in motion a series of events that proved to be calamitous to the people of Southern Italy. Upon landing at Marsala he declared himself dictator in the name of King Vittorio Emanuele II and L'Italia (Italy). Unsure what L'Italia meant, many Sicilians assumed it was the name of the King's wife, la Talia. Continue reading

Happy Spring!
Photo by New York Scugnizzo
Wild Flowers
Blood clots hanging over torn green velvet:
the wounds of the fields!
Breathing in the sweet air, spring has broken
the veins of its swollen breasts.
Wind gusts with eager lips: a kiss!
Blood-red wild flowers float on threadlike
and foamless waves.
Grumi pensili di sangue sul lacero velluto verdognolo.
Oh le ferite dei prati!
La primavera respirando voluttuosamente l'aria soave, ha rotte
le vene del suo seno turgido.
Un fiotto di vento con le labbra avide; un bacio! E le
primule sanguigne galleggiano su l'onde filamentose e
senza spuma.

A Look at the 2014 Festa di San Giuseppe in Ridgewood, NY
|Viva San Giuseppe!

By Giovanni di Napoli
On March 16th several local Italian American societies gathered in Ridgewood, NY to participate in the Annual Festa di San Giuseppe. The cold weather could not deter the dedicated and friendly crowd from attending the procession. Grand Marshal Stephen La Rocca, president of the San Rocco Society di Potenza, led the festivities.
It is traditional during this feast to read Sicilian poetry in honor of San Giuseppe after the march, and it was a real treat to hear. Afterward, blessed loaves of bread were generously distributed to everyone. I was greeted with warmth and sincerity; it was an honor to be among these people and their families.

Feast of San Giuseppe
Viva San Giuseppe!
Photo by New York Scugnizzo
By Giovanni di Napoli
March 19th is Saint Joseph's Day. As a carpenter and spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and foster-father of the Infant Jesus, he is the patron saint of workers and protector of the family. He is also invoked in the fight against Communism.
In Sicily the day is popularly celebrated with La Tavulata di San Giuseppe or Saint Joseph's Table. Dating back to Medieval times, the ritual meal is held in honor of the Saint's intercession during an especially bad famine. According to legend, a severe drought struck the island inflicting widespread suffering and starvation. Saint Joseph answered the peoples' prayers and relieved them from the dreadful plight.

Celebrating the Traditions of Saint Joseph's Day at the Italian American Museum
|Dr. Joseph V. Scelsa speaks to a packed audience at the IAM
Photos by New York Scugnizzo
By Giovanni di Napoli
With the Feast of Saint Joseph just a few days away (March 19th), what better way for the Italian American Museum to inaugurate their new event space than with a presentation about the Traditions of Saint Joseph's Day? Warmly welcomed by the museum's friendly staff, the venue quickly filled with an enthusiastic audience excited to learn about their ancestral folkways. Museum President Dr. Joseph V. Scelsa spoke at length to the standing room only crowd about his saintly namesake, beginning of course with the origins of the Feast in Sicily.
According to legend, during the Middle Ages a severe draught struck Sicily causing a terrible famine. The people petitioned San Giuseppe for help and through his intercession the crops of fava beans yielded enough food to deliver the hungry populace from starvation. In gratitude, wealthy families set up tables or altars, called la tavulata di San Giuseppe, with food to help those who were less fortunate than themselves.
|Known as the "lucky bean,"
fava was given as a token of luck to the museum's guests
Over the centuries the tables have become more and more grand and bountiful. They're decorated with flowers, fruits and grains (common symbols of fertility) as well as celebratory foods illustrating the Saint's vocation, such as bread and cakes shaped like carpenter's tools and bowls of toasted breadcrumbs (mudiga) symbolizing sawdust from his carpentry shop.
In fact, just about everything connected with the tables has some sort of cultural or religious connotation. For example, the altar itself—with its three tiers—stands for the Holy Trinity. It should go without saying that meat is eschewed for Lent and the presence of fava beans is essential.
Stephanie Trudeau
Naturally, the tradition was brought to America and is popularly celebrated in places like New York and New Orleans where large numbers of Sicilians settled. Some guests shared their family's customs, which included lighting bonfires in the town squares and wearing red for good luck. One gentleman described how to prepare a traditional dish from Bari called Saint Joseph's Pasta or Mafaldine di San Giuseppe. Alluding again to carpentry, the mafalda pasta looks a lot like serrated saw blades. It's typically served with cooked anchovies and toasted breadcrumbs (i.e. "sawdust").
Picking up from where Dr. Scelsa left off was special guest speaker Stephanie Trudeau. Ms. Trudeau (who researched the Feast of Saint Joseph in Sicily as part of her 2005 Fulbright project called "Festa, Family and Food") focused her Power Point presentation on some of the food traditions in Salemi, Sicily—specifically bread making.
Some wonderful examples of St. Joseph's Day bread were on display
During her talk, she showed us several examples of private and public altars and the myriad ways bread is used in the celebration. I knew that the loaves could be elaborate, but I had no idea how intricate and complex some could really be. Bread making for Saint Joseph's Day has evolved into a serious art form. Sicilian women have expertly done with dough what some conventional sculptors do with clay and stone. Imitating exuberant baroque designs and Christian motifs these breads are fashioned into incredible expressions of piety and devotion to the patron of the Universal Church, Sicily, family and the working man.
More pane di San Giuseppe
Following Ms. Trudeau was "Baby John" DeLutro, proprietor of Caffé Palermo on Mulberry Street. Mr. Delutro spoke a little about the history of NYC's Little Italy and his expertise in Sicilian desserts. Keeping with the theme of Saint Joseph Day, he told us the non-biblical story of how San Giuseppe became the patron saint of bakers. According to popular folklore, during the Holy Family's flight into Egypt, he worked for a time in Alexandria as a baker to support his wife Mary and infant Jesus.
Afterward, guests were invited across the street to Mr. Delutro's fine establishment to have some coffee and try his delicious zeppole and sfingi, popular southern Italian desserts during the Feast. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful evening.

Product Description
Delirious Minutiae Crowd-funding Campaign Launch eBook
(c) MMXVII Robert Cettl | CAILL Transmedia PL
22/05/2017 | Songjiang, Shanghai
On Sunday 21/05/2017 I launched a crowd-funding campaign on Indiegogo. It aimed to raise the financial resources to: 1) see my 5th auto-ethnographic digital feature to project completion, 2) satisfy my daily life needs, and 3) enable airline flight ticket purchase to leave Shanghai, China for my birth nation of Australia as now legally obliged by the transferral of my work visa and residence permit to a30 day temporary visa. This transfer was the result of early termination of my contract to International Company and Chinese market-leading English Education Provider [redacted]. It left me without a stable income and midway through the work-in-progress of an experimental auto-ethnographic digital feature based on my experience of an "Existential Crisis" during my brief term of employment as a "company man". I thus activated a long-planned but always postponed crowd-funding project: a venture into indie filmmaking – an educational EFL auto-ethnographic digital videotext(e) exploring foreign teacher experience and professional integrity in China, intended for pedagogic purposes.
The videotext(e) – The Delirious Minutiae of Everyday Perception – is a not-for-profit independent educational digital feature. It is planned for use as a pedagogic tool: screened for Chinese EFL students in a blended learning, flipped classroom Academic Writing course to facilitate their cognitive and meta-cognitive development of: 1) discourse theory and syntactic construction; 2) (de-)construction theory and visual literacy (semiotics); 3) inter-cultural communicative competence [ICC}, and 4) higher order Critical Thinking skill application. The film is thus essentially a multimedia material resource for use within a communicative language teaching [CLT] analytical discussion task. Although it is constructed for that purpose, it nevertheless retains aesthetic, thematic and discursive content of interest to ethnographic researchers, EFL professionals and cine-literate viewers of alternative, indie films.
The PDF available here for download was designed to accompany the ongoing campaign, uploaded as a trans-media component of the Indiegogo project launch. It features the campaign text and additional information concerning the project. Fully illustrated and hyperlinked, it is in effect the official Delirious Minutiae of Everyday Perception Crowdfunding Campaign Launch interactive eBook complement. It thus describes the overall intention, circumstantial factors influencing the campaign, proposed budget and intended screening plans for the final videotext(e). Details of the crowd-funding campaign (and Indiegogo campaign page) are linked to below.

Kids and Shakeology (from Chalene Johnson):
I don't know that Beachbody has officially listed their position on serving Shakeology to children and the appropriate dosages, servings and frequency. I can only speak for myself and say that it's far better than the zero GREEN my 12 year old son was eating before Shakeology came along. The only veggie we could get him to consume without gagging and running for the bathroom was corn and come on…is corn really a vegetable? Cierra loves her fruits and veggies. Brock HATES 'em! This kid wont even eat an apple. So this has been a God -send. However, parents, this takes some STRATEGIC PLANNING on your part. If you have a "picky eater",don't think for a second you're going to be able to add ice and water to the mix and your kid is going to beg for more! Be smart! Baby steps! Remember when you weened them off of baby food to "real food". Same thing! Ween them on to it. The first shake I served to Brock was anything but low cal! It was very much so a delicious desert… by design…but he still got his veggies in! I added some the tastiest of ingredients I could find… just to get him to love it AND to agree to have one every day. After that first shake I slowly started cutting back on the "yum yum stuff" but in small doses so he didn't notice. Now he's drinking a pretty healthy version and still loving it! Baby Steps!
I call this technique the "Bait and Switch"
Okay…so what was in that first "bait and switch" shake? Fat free vanilla yogurt, a big 'ol scoop of peanut butter, sugar free chocolate sauce, almond milk, half of a banana and honey for added sweetness! For real! Shut up! Save it! I don't want to hear it, because it worked and the next time I made him one it was much healthier and far less calorie dense, but with picky eaters, that first taste is critical!!! I had to win him at the first sip. You have to win over your picky eaters or your dead in the water! (Right Moms?) So the next one I just cut back on all the yummy ingredients and added more ice. Slowly, over the course of the month I got him to the point that I'm just putting a 1/2 cup of Fat Free Fro Yo, Almond milk and 1/4 banana and tsp of Peanut butter. It's magical! He's totally asking for them by name and talking all of his friends into drinking it! He'll make an awesome coach one day!
Save 25% as a Beachbody Coach
Here are some additional recipes for the holidays : )
Personally I'm still working on my own favorite recipe 😉
So drink up and Keep Up The Good Fight

Bloodmatch (1991) is a martial-arts film directed by Albert Pyun and starring Thom Mathews, Hope Marie Carlton, Marianne Taylor, Vincent Klyn, Michel Qissi, and Benny "The Jet" Urquidez.
Brick Bardo (Thom Mathews) is out to avenge the death of his brother, who was set up in a scandal involving illegal fight fixing in a kickboxing circuit and was killed before he could expose the true culprits. Along with his vicious femme fatale Max (Marianne Taylor), he manages to track down four former fighters who were involved in the scandal and had sufficient motive to want his brother dead: janitor and father, Billy Munoz (Benny "The Jet" Urquidez); Connie Angel (Hope Marie Carlton); arrogant and brash Brent Caldwell (Dale Jacoby); and powerhouse, Mike Johnson (Thunderwolf). He has them drugged, kidnapped and brought to an empty fighting arena where he plans to fight them all to the death in front of each other until either one of them kills him or one of them is revealed as his brother's murderer. As Brick engages each of them in one on one combat, it becomes clear that not everything is what it seems and not everyone is as innocent as they claim to be.

2017-18 UNC Asheville Women's Basketball Schedule
2017-18 UNC Asheville Women's Basketball Non-Conference Schedule
2017-18 Big South Women's Basketball Schedule
Big South Official Release
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Big South Conference announced the women's basketball league schedule on Friday morning, which opens on Jan. 2 and concludes March 3 for UNC Asheville.
The Bulldogs open their conference schedule with a road contest at Campbell, and four days later, Asheville will open its conference home schedule at Kimmel Arena versus High Point on Jan. 6.
En route to winning its second straight Big South Conference title, UNC Asheville will travel to Radford on Jan. 9 where the Bulldogs and Highlanders will reconnect after Asheville nipped the Highlanders 49-48 in the tournament championship a year ago to earn the Big South's automatic qualifier to the NCAA Tournament.
For the third time during the 2017-18 season, the Bulldogs will host back-to-back games on Jan. 13 and Jan. 16 versus Longwood and Liberty, respectively. Asheville swept the Lancers and Flames during the regular season last year and posted an average winning margin of 18 points in the four contests.
After hosting a pair of consecutive games, UNC Asheville will travel to Winthrop on Jan. 20 followed by a trip to Charleston Southern on Jan. 23.
The Bulldogs will return home on Jan. 27 versus Presbyterian where Asheville will look to avenge a five-point loss inside Kimmel Arena last season.
Following a trip to Boiling Springs, N.C., Asheville will play host to Winthrop and Radford on Feb. 3 and 6 in what will be its final back-to-back home games of the regular season. Last year in Kimmel Arena, the Bulldogs downed the Eagles 71-55 highlighted by out-scoring Winthrop 23-10 in the third quarter, and Asheville looks to avenge a loss to the Highlanders where Radford escaped with a 64-62 overtime victory in Asheville.
The Bulldogs will travel to High Point on Feb. 10, and three days later will host Charleston Southern on Feb. 13.
In the final five games of the regular season, three of those will be on the road (Liberty on Feb. 17, Longwood on Feb. 24 and Presbyterian on Feb. 27). Sandwiched in between the Flames and Lancers is a home game versus Campbell on Feb. 20, and like last season, the Bulldogs conclude the regular season with a match inside Kimmel Arena versus Gardner-Webb on March 3.
Looking to repeat for a third consecutive time, the Bulldogs will defend their Big South Conference Tournament title beginning on March 8 in Lynchburg, Va. The Big South Championship game is scheduled for March 11 inside the Vines Center.

Abstract"Acute competitive pressures to produce ever faster and more complex integrated circuits at diminishing costs continually drive IC manufacturers to find new, improved materials and processes without investing in new equipment sets. Currently in themicroelectronic industry, most equipment sets utilize deep ultraviolet (DUV) lasers in photolithography. One promising avenue to meet this demand for lower cost of ownership in DUV photolithography is the development of new materials to use as wetdevelopable DUV bottom antireflective coatings (BARCs). BARCs are necessary to control reflections of light from the substrate surface when the photoresist is exposed to light. Traditional BARC technology requires a four-step process including anadditional etch step to remove the BARC. In contrast, photolithography with a wet developable BARC requires only three steps because the BARC is removed concurrently with the photoresist. This will not only reduce cost, but also increase manufacturingthroughput because fewer production steps will be required. This new material will meet industry requirements such as low reflectivity, spin bowl compatibility, photoresist compatibility, and patternability. These characteristics will allow easyintegration of wet developable DUV BARCs into current equipment sets without further investment. A wet developable, DUV BARC will greatly reduce the cost of ownership in photolithography. Anticipated savings will

Cherish Your ADHD Brain!
ADHD Brain research has been based on the general assumption that something is wrong with people diagnosed with the condition. Those suffering from ADHD are often characterized as having impaired executive functioning of the frontal lobe. In recent years, however, more and more people are embracing the possibility that ADHD could simply be a difference rather than a disorder.
The challenges that people with ADHD face should neither be underestimated or denied. Changing the way we look at the condition, however, can already help us assume a healing mindset. Adopting a positive attitude changes our energy and consistently directs us towards more favorable outcomes.
Left- and Right-Brain Thinking
Even though we don't fully comprehend the complexities of the brain, we have come to accept that each side of the brain has a unique set of primary functions. Practically everyone has one side of the brain that is dominant; people with ADHD tend to have right-brain dominance. If you have ADHD, it should come as no surprise that the right brain is commonly associated with creativity, intuition and emotions. More on left- and right brain functioning.
Neurotransmitters and the ADHD Brain
ADHD symptoms have long been associated with neurotransmitter levels in the brain. Because these chemicals influence behavior, learning about neurotransmitter levels and how to manage them is a good way to motivate yourself into adopting different lifestyle habits like eating certain foods, meditating and having a mindful attitude. What are neurotransmitters and which of them are associated with ADHD?
Novelty Seeking Genes and Positive Disintegration: Two Sides of The Same Coin?
Genetic research reveals that dopamine-regulating genes differ in people with ADHD when compared to non-ADHD individuals. The gene associated with these dopamine differences is referred to as the "novelty-seeking gene"
People with this genetic structure tend to be drawn to new, interesting or exciting activities because of their need for more stimulation – a strategy designed to increase dopamine production. Some people have linked ADHD with Kazimierz Dabrowski's theory of positive disintegration. According to Dabrowksi, common ADHD symptoms – like excitability and excessive sensitivity to outside stimuli – are the exact characteristics required for individuals to achieve a higher potential for developmental growth.
Both of these conclusions appear to support the same theory, namely that there is an adaptive value to having these characteristics – the ADHD brain has a tendency to 'think outside of the box' and consider the broader perspective. This allows people with ADHD to experience the world with heightened perception.
The ADHD Brain Waves: Outside of the Box
The ADHD brain appears to lack 'normal' levels of beta brain waves. These brainwaves are associated with waking states or normal, alert consciousness. People with Attention Deficit Disorder tend to have higher amounts of alpha and theta brain wave activity. Whereas non-ADHD individuals experience an increase in beta brain waves while concentrating, for example, people with ADHD experience an increase in theta waves.
This difference in the ADHD brain results in the opposite effect, since theta waves are linked to the daydream state. Are there benefits to being in this ADHD brain state? If you have ADHD, familiarizing yourself with these different states of consciousness will help you understand why you behave, think and feel the way you do.
Here's a short description of the different brain-wave types and their effect (these do not include delta waves associated with deep sleep and gamma waves associated with super-learning):
More Alpha Brain Waves… Great!
More Theta Brain Waves… Cool!
Less Beta Brain Waves… What?
Accepting ADHD Brain Differences
In general, ADHD-ers are intelligent, creative, compassionate and highly sensitive people. But as a result of their heightened sensitivities and impulsiveness, they may have a difficult time navigating life in a predominantly left-brained, linear society. This can cause feelings of isolation, loneliness and low self-esteem. Having ADHD comes with its challenges. It is only in an environment of acceptance that the ADHD child or adult can function in a productive and natural way. The perfect ADHD environment is one that encourages creativity while introducing what I like to call a 'flexible structure'. When you have ADHD, it is crucial to understand and accept that you're different – your path will be unique. When you try to conform to the norm, you lose your sense of self.
The challenge then becomes integrating within society in such a way that you remain true to yourself. By changing perspective, you can come to embrace your 'difference'. Acceptance is where Holistic Healing ultimately starts.
