On May 20, 2015, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") issued a rulemaking proposal that will likely lead to significant changes in the Form ADV reporting requirements for registered investment advisers ("RIAs"). The rulemaking proposal builds on recent changes to the reporting requirements for advisers to privately offered pooled investment vehicles ("Private Funds"), including those within the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"). The current proposal both substantively adds to those requirements and stylistically amends them. The SEC has described the proposal as having the following three broad objectives:
- filling data gaps to enhance the current Form ADV reporting requirements;
- amending the filing requirements to allow for "umbrella registration" of advisers to Private Funds; and
- clarifying Form ADV's instructions and the accompanying disclosures.
Data Collection
The components of the proposal with perhaps the most significant practical implications for RIAs are those intended to fill data gaps and enhance Form ADV's current reporting requirements . While the SEC currently gathers extensive data from investment advisers related to Private Funds, the agency collects far less detailed information about separately managed accounts. This rulemaking proposal would alter that dynamic in three ways. First, it would require RIAs to report approximate percentages of separately managed accounts invested in ten broad asset categories. Second, it would require RIAs with at least $150 million in regulatory assets under management attributable to separately managed accounts to report information on the use of borrowing and derivatives in those accounts. Third, it would require RIAs to identify any custodians that account for at least 10% of their separately managed account assets under management and the amount of such assets held at the custodian. The SEC believes that this additional information about separately managed accounts will allow it to better assess risk and increase the effectiveness of its examinations.
Umbrella Registration
The components of the proposal related to umbrella registrations could have a positive impact on RIAs. In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act repealed the exemption from investment adviser registration that was most commonly used by advisers to Private Funds.1 As a result, there are now more than 4,300 RIAs managing more than 28,000 Private Funds. Many Private Fund advisers are organized as groups of related entities for a variety of tax and legal reasons, but the current Form ADV is designed for single entities. The proposed change would allow a single RIA's registration to include the registration of one or more "relying adviser" entities controlled by, or under common control with, the filing RIA.2 The SEC believes this will save investment adviser organizations substantial time and money, while providing the SEC with a clearer picture of the industry.
Amending Existing Items
In addition to the proposals for substantive changes to Form ADV, the SEC has proposed a number of stylistic amendments. The SEC believes these amendments will make the filing process clearer and more efficient. Below are several examples drawn from the rulemaking proposal that reflect the SEC's desire to eliminate duplicative filings and inconsistent responses:
- Item 7.B. of Part 1A of Form ADV asks whether the RIA serves as an adviser to any Private Fund, which currently leads to multiple advisers reporting their affiliation to the same Private Fund. Under the proposed amendments, only one RIA would be required to report, thereby eliminating duplicative filings.
- Question 10 of Section 7.B.(1) of Schedule D asks RIAs advising Private Fund funds of funds to identify the Private Fund's category by referring to the underlying funds. The proposal would delete that instruction, which would reconcile differences with Form PF.3
- Question 19 of Section 7.B.(1) of Schedule D asks whether the RIA's clients are solicited to invest in the Private Fund. The proposal would add text to Question 19 to make it clear that the RIA should not consider feeder funds in answering the question.
- Question 21 of Section 7.B.(1) of Schedule D asks whether the Private Fund relies on an exemption from registration of its securities under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. The proposed amendment would ask if the Private Fund has ever relied on a Regulation D exemption.
- Question 23(a)(2) of Section 7.B.(1) of Schedule D currently requires an investment adviser to check a box indicating whether the Private Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The proposal would add text instructing RIAs to answer Question 23(a)(2) only if the Private Fund's financial statements are subject to an annual audit.
- Section 9.C. of Schedule D requests information about the form independent public accountants that perform surprise examinations for RIAs. The proposal would require the RIA to provide its accountant's PCAOB registration number and to report any qualified or problem opinions issued since the RIA's last annual updating amendment.
- Item 11 of Part 1A of Form ADV requires disciplinary history reports on a Disclosure Reporting Page ("DRP"). Under some circumstances, DRP's may be removed from a Form ADV. The proposal would amend certain instructions to clarify that a DRP may be removed if a criminal, regulatory or civil judicial action was resolved in the RIA's (or its affiliate's) favor.
Enhanced Disclosures
The proposal would also require RIAs to provide new information on Form ADV in a number of different areas. These areas include information related to any social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) that an RIA uses; enhanced information on branch offices of RIAs (e.g., disclosure of total number of offices and specifics regarding the largest 25 branches); disclosure of whether an RIA's chief compliance officer is outsourced or not; more precise information about an RIA's clients that would replace the current ranges for numbers and different types of clients required by Item 5 of Part 1A; and additional information on compensation, outside of regular salaries, received by employees for obtaining clients for an RIA.
Supporting Information for Performance Calculations
In addition to the amendments described above, the SEC has proposed a change to the books and records, which requires the maintenance of records supporting performance claims in communications that are distributed or circulated to 10 or more persons.4 The proposal would modify the rule by requiring the maintenance of performance calculation support records for performance claims in communications that are distributed or circulated to any client.
Impact on RIAs
The rulemaking proposal issued by the SEC has wide ranging implications for RIAs. Some components of the proposal simply streamline the registration process, which likely would lead to time and cost savings for investment advisers. However, other components would require investment advisers to disclose more information about their businesses and their clients' holdings. While we expect some of the proposals to generate a lot of discussion, and perhaps controversy, we believe it is likely that the changes and additions will be adopted largely as proposed by the SEC. Accordingly, RIAs should review the proposal's new requirements carefully to begin planning for its likely implementation.

I recently read @apemberton article comparing trends for Maven vs Ivy. I wasn't surprised to see that Maven was a clear winner and even less surprised to see that the Google trend line was still in a positive direction.
However, I decided to add in a couple of other Java build tools as well - in particular Buildr and Gradle. This is where I was surprised - Gradle surpassed Maven in terms of interest in the across the intertubes.
Now this doesn't indicate adoption or maturity, but clearly over the last 2 years, Gradle has been on a steep upward trajectory. This will surely translate into more adoption for enterprise projects and is definitely a tool that I need to spend more time learning about it.


text: right, i got Tales of Symphonia: Dawn Of The New World NTSC about a month or 2 ago now, i'm using a PAL wii, and whenever i burn a copy it just plain doesnt work lol. I have cIOS_rev9 installed and plan to keep it that way because it's the most stable version AND i've never once had an issue with backup game loading before (besides that, IOS249 is neglected in my loading method...) i use cIOSCORP, for loading through the disc channel, it looks more professional and i find it has perfect compatibility for in and out of region games (with preloader region free hacks on) as far as i've tested. the only issue i've had is with this game... now, i've been playing the game for ages through USB Loader and there is no issue with the game whatsoever, which means it's a good ISO, and the reason i'm putting it on disc is because my HDD is only 160GB and i'll run out of space pretty soon, so if i want to delete some games from the HDD the games are always on disc to re-rip to the HDD whenever. Good thinkin eh? anyways, the issue is that: the game will show up in the disc channel, but when start is pressed the wii will freeze on a black screen and be unresponsive for a few seconds, then any button presson on the wii remote just makes it flash but not sync. and the wii needs a hard reset too. BUT eject still works and so does putting in a disc even when frozen lol to be fair i've only tried two burns, and the one i just tried was burned at 8x accidentally so i reckon thats a burn error. and i think the first one might have been 8x to because i didnt want to wait 13 minutes rather than 8 so i think it's just bad burns to be honest, just thought i'd ask in case though. SPECS: 4.0E (region free hacks, all trucha bug IOS, also means there are no missing IOS) cIOSCORP (with IOS60BF.wad) cIOS_rev9 (irelevant (cant spell ) anyways) and that should be all you need to deduce the problem thanks guys

Five years in the making, Hu hopes it will be a breakthrough that could one day lead to making solar power storable at a large scale-something that would be a game-changer in the field, but has so far proven elusive.
"This is one of the very first all-in-one devices that does all the things that you need to split water into hydrogen and oxygen," said Hu, assistant professor of chemical & environmental engineering. "You just put water in, and sunlight will do the rest." It's known as the "artificial leaf," and as a handheld device, it works great. But Hu's real challenge is making it work on a much bigger scale. That's one of the projects that he set out for himself when he was hired at the ESI. It fits right in with the very ambitious aims of the Institute, just a few years into its existence.
Forming the ESI
The formation of the ESI was announced five years ago this September, with the vision of bringing together physicists, chemists, geologists, biologists, and engineers to develop solutions to the world's energy challenges. With four full-time faculty members and more hires planned over the next few years, the Institute now occupies two spaces on West Campus. The second, known as ESI 2, opened this year, bringing the total space to about 38,000 square feet.
The idea for the ESI emerged shortly after Yale purchased the West Campus property from Bayer Pharmaceuticals nine years ago. Several Yale researchers and officials convened to brainstorm how the space could be used. "The question was: If we had the opportunity to tackle the challenges of the 21st century, what should those topics be?" said Gary Brudvig, the Benjamin Silliman Professor of Chemistry and director of the ESI. "We had little breakout groups, and every group put energy at the top of the list as one of the grand challenges. We knew that this was something we needed to be pushing-we needed to have something on energy at the West Campus."
When Yale received a $25 million gift from Tom Steyer and Catherine Taylor to create the ESI, Yale's scientists and officials were able to fine-tune their vision for energy research. "We decided that we need to come up with a sustainable renewable energy basis to power our planet and focus on renewable energies - particularly, solar and storage of solar energy and wind energy," Brudvig said. "A big problem with solar and wind is that they're intermittent; you need to store them to use them on a large scale."
Using hydrogen as a sustainable source of energy has long intrigued researchers. One of the challenges, though, is finding an efficient way to split the molecules of water into oxygen and hydrogen. That's where Hu's artificial leaf comes in. It's a photoelectrochemical (PEC) device that mimics the photosynthesis of plants. Two electrodes split the water molecules to produce protons and electrons and oxygen.
When the second electrode recombines the electrons and protons, hydrogen gas is produced. Mixing hydrogen and oxygen can cause an explosion, so a polymer membrane is there to keep the two separate. Hu and his fellow researchers knew they were on to something when the technology could convert 10% of the sunlight's energy into stored energy. His lab is now working on one with 15% efficiency. The device is small, but it provides a big window into how we can mimic nature at the nanoscale, where photosynthesis takes place. And that could lead to designs that go beyond the conventional solar energy technologies to achieve high-efficiency and long-term stability at a low cost.
The Biggest Obstacle for Real-World Applications
Stability of materials in solar fuel devices has long been the biggest obstacle for turning handheld demonstrations into real-world applications. The oxidation process for the kind of device that Hu is working on requires a light-absorbing material. However, these materials corrode quickly when exposed to water. Finding a good protective layer has been tricky, since it needs to be conductive enough to allow charges to transport through and reach the device's catalyst, and thick enough to prevent the water to penetrate the coating.
Another big step toward that goal is Hu's rediscovery of a material often found in toothpaste and commercial sunblocks. Using what's known as the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique, typically performed in the field of microelectronics, he and his fellow researchers created a protective coating of titanium dioxide over the device's semiconductor crystals. Acting as the catalyst that oxidizes the water are nanoscale dots of nickel oxide, an inexpensive and accessible material. The discovery has dramatically increased the materials' stability for up to thousands of hours, or about one year of sunlight cycles. "This is promising," Hu said. "Now we need to find ways to show the stability of tens of thousands of hours, which means they can work for 10 to 15 years."
Hu, who came to Yale from CalTech earlier this year, is the third faculty hire at ESI. He joined ESI's first affiliate, Judy Cha, the Melamed Professor of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, who came to Yale in 2013. In 2014, Yale hired ESI's second full-time faculty member, Hailiang Wang, assistant professor of chemistry. The fourth ESI faculty member, Owen Miller, assistant professor of applied physics arrived at Yale in July 2016. One branch of Cha's research is a class of materials known as chalcogenides, which include sulfides, tellurides and selenides. Like Hu, Cha is trying to find better ways to split water to produce hydrogen.
She thinks chalcogenides are a good bet. "Some of these materials have recently been found to be a reasonable catalyst to split water into hydrogen and oxygen," she said, "so people are looking at the chalcogenides to see if they can improve their catalytic performance, and perhaps replace some of the more expensive catalysts." To that end, her lab has studied molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), playing with its atomic structure to boost the hydrogen evolution reaction-that is, how well the material produces hydrogen by way of water electrolysis.
More recently, her lab has been making a semimetallic chemical compound known as tungsten telluride (WTe2). "So far, it appears that no one has studied the catalytic activity of tungsten telluride to see if it's better than the molybdenum disulfide," she said. Her hope is that it can be used for fuel cell type applications and anything that requires hydrogen production.
A Boon to Research
Cha, who splits her time between the main campus and West Campus, said the ESI space has been a boon to her research. The resources there allow her lab to take on experiments that she otherwise couldn't. She's particularly excited about the Materials Characterization Core, a new facility that houses state-of-the-art instruments for materials analysis. Capabilities include the investigation of crystal structure, surface topography, materials microstructure and chemical microanalysis. The instruments first arrived at the beginning of the year. Although primarily used by the ESI researchers, the facility is shared with researchers throughout Yale. "The type of experiments we can do expands because we have some capabilities that we didn't have until now," Cha said. "That's going to benefit us by accelerating the pace of our research, and being able to look at properties that we couldn't previously because we didn't have the right instruments. That could lead to answers to research questions that we couldn't address before."
Christopher Incarvito, Director of Research Operations & Technology at West Campus, said the purchase and installation of the instrumentation is a well-considered process. "Research instrumentation is ridiculously expensive, so we make sure that we put it in an environment where we get the return on investment. We want to make sure that it's getting used to its full capacity and that it's very accessible so that groups that might have a need for it know it's there and have access to the people who know how to use it."
Shu Hu's engineered semiconductor's stability is equivalent to one year of sunlight. But perhaps an even greater contribution to the research is a much lower-tech innovation. Approaching the lab spaces of the four full-time faculty members, Incarvito notes the lack of walls, and general flow of foot traffic. "The beauty of this space is that Judy's group is here, Hailiang's group is here, Shu's group is here, and Owen's group is here," he said. "You have four different departments represented in one open space, so you don't have to seek out collaborators who are focused on the same type of research. From a support perspective, you don't have to replicate all of those resources from each of the individual labs."
Promoting Collisions Among Researchers
For example, he said, Cha's group has thermal deposition equipment with a lot of experience making finely tuned materials. Now, the labs of her three fellow ESI faculty members can leverage that expertise. The famous layout at Bell Labs- designed to promote chance encounters, or "collisions," among researchers-served as inspiration for the ESI workspace, as well as the six other Institutes on West Campus. From the hallways to the offices and labs, everything is designed to foster collaborations and creativity and encourage people to meet and talk with each other. Just by leaving the lab area, Incarvito said, "you have to walk by three or four interesting things."
For her part, Cha said the emphasis on collaborations and chance encounters has been great for her work. "One thing that helps is that my colleagues are occupying the same space, because that can determine what kind of research you do together," she said. "Hailiang joined the ESI in my second year here, so now he and I work together, especially on the hydrogen evolution reactions and chalcogenides. My research direction has changed a little bit because we've started working together."
Wang's office is two doors down from Cha's, and their students and postdocs share the same space. "With the open design concept in the lab, I think there's a lot of fluidity," she said. "The students will initiate measuring something together and if the results are interesting, then they tell us. Now that Shu Hu has joined, I can see similar collaborations happening with him." In fact, Wang said, it's usually the postdocs and students who spark the collaborations. "They often have lunches or dinners together in the kitchen, they bring food and share it," he said. "They meet each other often and they have fantastic interactions between them."
That's how the research on the electrocatalysis of chalcogenides between Cha and Wang got started. "That has been going really well and we've published one paper in ACS Nanomaterials, and we have another paper in preparation now," Cha said. Cha said she's excited to work with ESI's fourth hire Owen Miller, a theoretician in applied physics, who came to the ESI from MIT. That adds one more discipline to the equation. "That'll be a nice balance," she said, "and it will truly be interdisciplinary in nature." Brudvig said the goal currently is to have 10 full-time faculty members, averaging one new hire per year. "They'll bring their different expertises together and collaborate and develop new initiatives that wouldn't have been possible from someone working only within their own department," he said. "They'll tackle problems that they wouldn't have been able to by themselves."

Solids for my daughter with a probable milk allergy
Created by Updated on Sep 18, 2015
My daughter completed for months. She has adequate weight even though she seems lean. But I used to have sore nipples and breast engorgement once in a while ... Once the pain was unbearable so my doctor said to take a break for one day atleast, as I was asked to apply Evion cream. She asked me to just express the milk out for a day. But when I gave her formula milk she started vomiting and had fever.. Doctor said may be she is having milk allergy. . She asked to do stool culture test and there was no reducing agents. she asked me to try once again and it repeated. And I have never tried anything other than my milk. But now I m worried that she is not getting enough milk. doctor said to start weaning. But to have a look on he milk allergy. So I m confused what to start with. please help m

Hi Neena, Here is blog which gives you ideas about baby initial foods with recipes. You can choose the food options which are without milk. Here is the link- https://www.parentune.com/parent-blog/initial-foods-6-12-months/170
| Sep 18, 2015
I didn't plan to stop my feed. But the paed suggested to gradually start weaning as i m worried that my feed alone is sufficient.. And her weight is a little on the lower side. my feed is not causing any sort of allergy to her. So I m planning to feed her as long as i can. Please suggest me weaning foods without milk..
| Sep 18, 2015
4 months is a little early to wean her off your feed, especially if you able to express. A combination of feed is normally a better option. Allergy from formula may not be related to your feed to her.

Caregiver's Choice: A Mentoring Program to Benefit Youth with Incarcerated Parents
Caregiver's Choice, a nationwide initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and administered by MENTOR/The National Mentoring Partnership, helps to provide adult mentors to children and adolescents with one or more incarcerated parents.
Approximately 1.5 million youth across the country have a parent serving time in a federal or state prison (Mumola, 2000). Youth who have a parent incarcerated face a variety of challenges, which can impact their self-esteem as well as their performance in school. The relationship formed between a child/adolescent and a mentor can have a positive impact on well-being and school success.
Caregiver's Choice offers a $1000 voucher—essentially a scholarship for mentoring—that parents or caregivers can use to receive mentoring services. Once a child/adolescent, aged 4-18, is enrolled in Caregiver's Choice, their parent or caregiver then receives a voucher in the mail, along with a list of several approved mentoring programs in their area. The parent/caregiver can decide which one is the best fit for them, and call the program to redeem their voucher. Across the country, Caregiver's Choice has approved nearly 500 mentoring providers that can offer mentoring services to young people. These programs have completed training specifically preparing them to work with families impacted by incarceration.

44 Orange Liqueur Recipe
Introduction: 44 Orange Liqueur Recipe
While researching orange liqueurs, I came across a basic recipe for one called "44 Orange" and had to try it.
It is a traditional european apertif made using an orange, coffee beans, sugar, and grain alcohol (vodka can also be used in a pinch). Some recipes call for cloves, cinnamon, and honey, but I will probably wait for my next batch to use some of these.
Step 1: Ingredients
1 Large Orange
6 Tbsp Sugar
44 Coffee Beans
4 Cups Grain Alcohol/ Vodka (highest proof you can find)
You Will Need:
A mason jar, or other airtight container
Veggie Wash (Optional)
Step 2: Wash Your Orange!
I recommend buying organic produce because it yields the best flavor but any kind of orange will do. Remember to wash it thoroughly, preferably with a fruit/veggie wash. This is important because the entire orange will be submerged in alcohol and whatever is on the orange peel will end up IN your final product.
Step 3: Stabbing the Orange
Poke 44 holes in the orange and insert a coffee bean in each opening. This was more fun that I originally imagined. Then put the orange inside of the jar. Fill the jar with 4 cups of grain alcohol/vodka. If you are using a regular-sized mason jar, this should take you pretty close to the tap..
Step 4: Add the Sugar
Now add your sugar over the top of the alcohol. The original recipe called for 44 sugar cubes but I substituted 6 tablespoons of sugar. Because sugar cubes come in so many sizes, the amount of sugar can too easily get out of hand, so proceed with caution. I found 6 tbsps to be a good starting amount and more can be added later to taste.
Step 5: Remember the Date
It is a good idea to put a tag on the jar somewhere so that you remember the date you created this concoction. You will need to store it for 44 days in a dark, cool place before removing the orange/coffeebeans. Be sure to shake it up every once in awhile to ensure the sugar dissolves.
Step 6: Storing and Enjoying
After the 44 days are up, remove the orange and coffee beans, and strain the rest. If you used Everclear (grain alcohol), it will be much too strong to enjoy straight, so add at least one cup of water. Some may prefer a bit more water to tone it down. If you used vodka it should not be too powerful but it is really up to taste.
Put it in a new bottle and enjoy it chilled!
Very interesting, i can see why its called 44 Orange liqueur. As to the organic/non-organic argument, i believe the only noticeable flavor enhancement being via GM food, which contrary to popular and media belief is safer than spraying organic fertilizer (i.e. poo) or pesticides of any nature. i'd also like to point out that the most popular pesticide used in orange production is so harmless you would die of Vitamin C poisoning before you died from the pesticide.
Hmm--you say "most popular pesticide used in orange production is so harmless you would die of Vitamin C poisoning before you died from the pesticide"
Funny!--Isn't that what they used to say about DDT?
I am afraid you will never convince those like me that suffer from permanent nerve damage from pesticides that any chemical pesticide is harmless. They just haven't used them long enough to find out what kind of damage they will do yet---but they will.
A pesticide that doesn't kill, right. Would you mind linking us to the MSDS for the pesticide(s) your referring to?
poo is the only organic fert ? I think there are plenty of ways to deter pests without spraying chems or gene mods .
Poo isnt the only organic fertilizer. Although there are other ways an genetic modification would last almost indefinitely or at-least a few hundred generations, chemical deterrents are also often simpler to apply, ie dissolved in water and sprayed on, as opposed to introducing a new animal to kill the pests, the new animal itself having a high chance of becoming a pest itself.
Currently monoculture and scale may be the main issues due to a lack or unwillingness to understand how things work together. I agree ,there are many examples where introducing a new "beneficial' insect or animal has turned out terribly. Again , due to a lack of understanding . Asian carp anyone? A cheaper and "easier" way often end up being just the opposite .
As others are saying, there ,of course are many ways to use the term Organic.
My Orange floated too and I was worried about it being exposed to the air for that long so I sank it with a shot-glass. Seemed to work well, I just had to remember not to be too violent when turning the bottle at mix time as to not break or chip the shot-glass. You can just see it in first few pictures I posted.
Was day 44 today and I split my brew.
Smells and tastes divine.
I wasn't sure about the coffee beans but I think because they are whole that the flavour isn't harsh or bitter. Just a pleasant coffee smell and after-taste that's very slightly smokey.
I think if you used some of this in a chocolate mousse that you would win awards :D
In case the captions don't come through...
Picture one is Day 22, Half way and the vodka has turned a light Yellow.
All the other pictures are on Day 44.
The discoloration in the picture of the sliced orange is the coffee beans staining the flesh, not rot.
I yielded slightly less than cup for each of the 4 bottles, my original jar was not big enough for the orange and vodka so I have topped them off with fresh vodka and will leave it for the weekend to prove a bit more.
I made this recipe 30 days ago. I added some cloves for depth and it tastes wonderfull!
really organic does not taste any different from non. its all the same varieties as the non organic if you want a better tasting fruit or veg go with a kind that is not sold in the supermarket.
...Often non-organic produce are sprayed with pesti&fungicides or wax coated with said substances to keep pests and fungus away ...Sounds like a good idea but I can guarantee you do not want to eat the stuff. Lots of these -icides will accumilate in the tissues of animals that eat them (and in higher concentrations in the animals that eat those animals and so on) - seeping unwashed products in alcohol will ensure you get a higher dose than would be normal! ...Wash wash wash your fruit and veg. ... PS: I have never head of this fruit/veg wash - does anyone know if it is available in the UK?
I'm only addressing the Vegetable Wash. It is getting harder to find, used to be available in all the stores here and because people just didn't bother buying it, it has become more scarce. But the internet has made it easy to find, thankfully there are enough people willing to buy it on-line that for now there is a good supply.
Perhaps another reason it has become a bit scarce is there has been a lot of news about the stuff not doing anything. I watched a program where they tried three methods of "washing" fruit and vegetables and then tested for traces of pesticide.
1.) Spray with a hose
2.) Commercially available Fruit & Veg. Wash
3.) Dish Soap & Water
The differences between all three were negligible, all still had pesticide traces. The consensus was peeling fruits & Vegetables, and those that cannot be peeled should be avoided by people with sensitivities to chemicals. Just telling you what I saw.
As for Fruit & Veg wash in the UK: Veggi Wash Fruit Too Fruit & Vegetable Wash Concentrate 500ml £2.98 at Organic Shops everywhere.
Thanks - I'll take a pass on the Fruit/Veg wash and stick to soap/water. ... The 'negligible' differences part has dissuaded me - what's point of buying a special wash if it barely makes a difference?!
... Do you remember what programme you saw this comparison on?
... I wish I had access to a lab in order to be able to test the claims on food and products (contains more X/Y/Z, less A/B/C etc). All the claims, in my humble opinion, are useless unless there is a SIGNIFICANT difference between the wonder-product and the standard stuff.
... One of my favourite annoyances is the graph on the side of cartons of Welch's Purple Grape juice that compare the antioxidants in Welch's to methink tomatoes, apples and other grapes. The graph either has no numbers or numbers without the SI quantity they represent ie: mg, g, kg (I do not have a carton to check at the moment). This bugs me no end because for all I the difference could be measured in yoctograms for all I know and in my opinion that would make spending the extra for a 'higher' antioxidant content pointless. I only buy the stuff because it tastes nice.
... Anyway - rant over! Thanks for the info x
I know I'm really late on the reply here but keep forgetting to check for replies to my comments!
I was really disappointed to see I had been wasting my money on the "expensive" washes available. (expensive relative to alternative i.e. soap & water)
Like you I'm always skeptical of claims on labels, my pet peeve is "New & Improved" as it usually is not New after all, it is the same product but supposedly improved, and improved is often questionable. I find the Dawn Soap which I grew up with is now New and Improved Concentrated, yet it seems to clean less effectively than the unimproved version of old.
As for what program it was on? I do not recall, however I called my mother and asked her if she remembered as we discussed it the day after it aired. She did not remember but had some excellent news for me about the vegetable wash recipe she saw on Oprah. Apparently Grapefruit Seed Extract is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial compound! Helps protect against E-Coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus faecium and surprisingly a lot of other scary stuff. The USDA has approved it for this use. I think this should be another News Program!
1 cup water
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 Tbsp. baking soda
20 drops of grapefruit seed extract*
Combine all ingredients in a large container. Then, transfer to a spray bottle with a pump. Spray mixture on produce, and rinse thoroughly after 5 to 10 minutes.
* Readily available at health food stores.
Organic produce still uses pesticides. They just have to use "organic" pesticides which doesn't really mean anything. No matter what you like to buy you should always wash your produce. Even if you buy directly from the farmer, you still want to get the germs off.
This is not completely true. Some organic farms, like the one a few miles from me, use ONLY Soap & Predator Insects. The township is not even allowed to put salt on the road in front of the farm in winter due to run-off and the possibility that the salt or chemicals mixed in the salt may find it's way into the soil.
You know I've been eating "non-Organic" things all my life, and I am "very Healthy" according to blood tests done for cancer (I get screened due to family past). I drink about 4-8 Dr. Pepper soda's a day, and eat steak, chicken, corn, rice, and various snacks like chocolate bars now and again, and I really like sitting and munching on Oatmeal Crisp Almond.... the reason I'm saying all this is that I don't believe there to be a true LASTING benefit to organic things.
Has anyone who is concerned for their health and well being enough to go out and spend "Organic" prices for their food, looked at studies about what you inhale simply by breathing in the air around you? Or what is lurking in your very own washroom.... kind of makes those -icides look like child's play.
I also believe that cancer is not caused by this one thing or that, I believe cancer is a result of abusing your body with chemicals like processed meats, canned food, fast food....etc. Processed things are horrible, they contain fake ingredients, and are toxic to the body in some cases, if not all.
With all that aside, this ible looks pretty good. If I was a drinker, I might give this a shot.... but then again... alcohol is about as good for you as eating that non-organic apple..... (Moderation is a joke, if you want the benefit of wine, go get the supplement that contains FOR more than your wine does anyways)
Usually organic produce also means local so it is allowed to ripen on the plant and doesn't have to be the species bred or engineered for shipping. That said, some of the current generation genetically engineered fruits are mighty tasty. I tasted those new hillbilly apples with multiple copies of it's own genome for the first time and I may never buy an organic apple again.
Organic does not mean local. Citrus fruit will only be local if you live in an area that grows citrus fruit. It's important that people recognize the difference between local and organic. Organic is not always better because of the large scale operations that are now being run. The benefit to the environment is being lost because of this and this is why buying local, from the farmer, is even more important now. That being said, this looks yummy!
Actually that depends on the produce. Hardier strains of veggies and fruits are generally less tasty and this is what commercial markets put out. It really does depend on the item in question. I can tell you, fresh-off-the-tree home-grown organic oranges really truly are the best tasting I've had.
I suggest cultivating friendships with people who are snowbirds. My mother is always bringing citrus back to the upper midwest of the US after her winter stay in Florida. The fruit is usually unsprayed, and the skins are thinner, but the flavor is ultimately WAY better than anything (organic or not) that I've ever purchased from a supermarket or food co-op.
if you can get local produce, it usually tastes much better, (organic or not). When fruits are shipped long distances, they're picked prematurely so that they wont bruise when shipped. They're ripened artificial using hydrocarbon gas to change the colour of the skin. although they look ripe, they lack the flavor of naturally ripened fruit. hard to buy local oranges in a lot of places though...
Could you fill me in on how it tastes? Does the coffee come through? Could it use more orange or more coffee flavor? More sugar or water? It sounds pretty delicious.
Cubed sugar is in teaspoon volumes... 1 cube = 1 tsp. 6 Tbl. of sugar would only be 18 tsp. so you don't even have half the sugar in the original recipe. 44 tsp. of sugar sounds like it would be WAY too sweet anyway, though.
If you used grain alcohol (note: Everclear grain alcohol is available in 151 proof and in some states, 190 proof) the author suggests you would dilute with 1 cup of water. If you consider that most liqueurs use simple syrup for sweetness and texture, and that simple syrup is equal parts water and sugar, 44 tsp of sugar would end up being slightly weak, but nobody would notice. The missing 4 tsp that would make up an even cup would probably just end up on the kitchen counter anyway. I imagine that if one were using 151 proof, this mixture would probably be a little too sweet for some, but if one were using 190 proof, I'd probably want to dilute it even further, for comfort (chemical burns to the lungs aren't fun!). Not that 190 proof is even sold in California. I'd have to drive to Nevada to get it. Christopher B., this was not meant in any way as an argument, and in fact I appreciate you bringing out the standard expected sugar content for a sugar cube. I just thought I might be able to address the "too sweet" concern. Now I want to try it both ways (4 ways, if one counts trying 6 tsp vs. 44 tsp with 151 proof and again with 190).
I know this is really good... I have heard the recipe before and tried it my self. It comes out really good.. Be sure to shake well (once a week was suggested to me)
Awesome. I think I might rip this off to prepare the liqueur for Sangria. So much more convenient to take to a party. This recipe sans coffee plus the cinnamon in a brandy base. =)
Where did you find this recipe? I'm getting suspicious with "44 coffee beans, 44 sugar cubes, store for 44 days." I think whoever wrote it just loved the number 44.
This instructable was not really intended to be an argument over organic vs non-organic produce. I grow lots of my own fruits and veggies and I like to support local farmers (which I have a lot of living in Southern California). I like knowing that no pesticides are used in my food. That being said, I use a great deal of non-organic food and produce. For this instructable, use the best tasting oranges you can find!
Can you leave the Orange in longer. Let's say you were going to give a jar of this as a gift and you wanted it to look pretty? So how long is too long?
If you use vodka instead of grain alcohol, that means the alcohol content is lower. I'm wondering how much longer one should allow it to steep in order to extract the full flavor of the citrus and coffee. Might be worth experimenting... by someone with more time. :)
yeah personally i would just zest the orange and throw the zest in with the coffee beans.
I was wondering a bit about the pith making the liqueur bitter but I did not notice it. Some people compare the flavor to Grand Marnier but I find it is somewhat chocolate-y. Definitely will try it next time with some cloves!
Wow! I love stuff like this.
How did it taste? Is it a wintery / Christmas-y sort of flavor?
I wonder about the white part of the orange peel making it taste bitter, another approach (with far more work) would be to use the zest and the carefully peeled orange, then you could infuse it for a l.o.n.g. time.

The incident was a planned angle.
Numerous ROH sources have indicated that the fans involved were actually students of Bob Evans who did a tremendous job in getting themselves over as actual fans all night and then did an even better job in selling the attack.
So, for everyone writing about how terrible ROH is for not addressing this, the reality is that ROH did a great job at their job last night getting over believable angles that make fans believe. That was all.
Kudos to ROH, they fooled this man and Kevin Steen is without a doubt my top guy outside the two "big" companies so thank god!

Queen Elizabeth II - Who'd have thought that fine art could be created out of something as butch as a hammer and a bunch of nails? But that's exactly what former architect David Foster has achieved with his unique nail portraits. David's art covers a range of subjects such as celebrities, animals, flowers and, get this, even a hammer and nail! The level of precision and realism in his art is a result of years of practicing and perfecting his technique. Thrilled with the simplicity of making a picture from just dots Foster says, "I have always been fascinated with how little information the brain needs to interpret a picture." On an average, his smaller drawings number about 5,000 nails, while larger ones can have as many as 30,000. David's prize winning piece made from 16,000 nails is called Lashes and Nails. David evidently loves what he does, going by what he tells us on his website. "The whole process thrills me, taking just a hammer and a box of nails and arranging them into an artwork. It is very tactile art and the viewer will find it hard not to touch the work," he writes. He also insists that the best way to view his work is up close, since photographs don't do much justice to it. - Warrington, Cheshire, United Kingdom - Friday 22nd November 2013 (2 Pictures)

The word 'Pilbara' is romantic to the people in the East. I still love the place after all these years; I always tell people it's paradise. Indee Station was formed around the 1900s; it was originally part of a larger station and they cut it into four. I've heard it was Aboriginal for the edge of the crabhole country which is possible because there are crab holes there. I've been here more than 50 years.
I designed the house; I made all the bricks by hand, over 5,000 and eliminated the white ant problem. My design is cyclone proof. We get a lot more warning for cyclones these days, Cyclone George in 2007 was a little bit different but I think something went wrong with the warning system. Sometimes when the cyclones hit the coast they veer South but George hit the coast and veered South West. We've had tragedy here. I lost my first wife in 1992. In '68 we had the Vicker's Viscount crash; the MacRobertson Miller Airlines Flight on New Year's Eve, one of this state's worst civil aviation accidents. The family members would come to see the place where the plane crash-landed. The wing fell off, which caused the crash.
Thank God for the iron ore, you are not making any money in the cattle industry by sending them a couple thousand kilometres South, it's not worth your time. All the changes are good for the place, it keeps us going. These days, I wake up at 4am and cook breaky for the miners; I still work in the mine two days per week at 5am, otherwise I'll head back into bed. No health issues up here, I've been very physical living here not using machines. We get tourists come to visit from all over the world, mainly from the eastern states.

Star claims Gunners interest
Toulouse defender Aymen Abdennour claims Arsenal are interested in signing him and admits he would relish a move to England.
Last Updated: 11/10/11 6:03pm
Toulouse defender Aymen Abdennour claims Arsenal are interested in signing him and admits he would relish a move to north London.
The 22-year-old has begun to establish himself in the Toulouse first-team this season after spending the second half of the last campaign on loan at Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen.
The Tunisia international insists he is happy to stay and continue his development at the Ligue 1 outfit but admits he would be unable to resist a move to the Premier League should Arsenal make an offer.
"It's [Arsenal's interest] true, I've heard a lot of talk while I've been at Toulouse," Abdennour told Footplus.
Excellent performances
"They come to watch and scout players. They came to see our last three matches in which I put forward excellent performances for my side.
"My agent, Mr Abdelkader, he's the one focused on these things. He's a professional and he always tells me to work hard and whatever is good for me, God will help it through. I need to work and stay focused with my side.
"We're going through a good period a Toulouse, God willing, we'll continue on this path and then hopefully the two sides can come to an agreement. I'm not going to get involved.
"If there's something good for the player and for Toulouse in me being transferred to a big club like Arsenal then why not? Right now I'm still happy at my club. I want to improve at Toulouse."

I was on the inter webs and the rumor is that Porsha Stewart has been STRAIGHT-UP FIRED from Real Housewives of Atlanta! As rumor has it... She was fired EARLY this week! Supposedly Bravo executives stated that,
"Porsha is a mix of boring and annoying, [and] neither is good for TV."
READ MORE>>> REAL HOUSEWIVES of Atlanta!
Well, while I am Clutching the Pearls...
This is probably TWO of the reasons that this little Barbie doll face girl is now divorced.
READ >>> The Porsha Stewart Divorce!
Do NOT look at me like that...you know that you are thinking the same thing. If we are honest with ourselves, while we hate to admit it...Porsha Stewart is NOT the ONLY Housewife that should be chopped.
The show in itself is a little boring these days. Mama Joyce is keeping us excited now that Kenya Moore is talking about her absentee Mama (its very Nene, Season 2...yawn).
There were rumors at the end of last season that Porsha Stewart was not coming back on, but these stories seem to be a bit more confirmed. I will be on the lookout. According to my sources... Porsha's pink slip will be announced officially by December 20th by Bravo Execs! So I will be on pins and needles All Day waiting to see if it's really true.
Am I sad that Porsha Stewart might be kicked to the reality tv curb? Nah, she thought that the Underground Railroad was.... Nevermind. I love her weave hair, but whats underneath it has me thinking to myself-she must have a small brain. I would understand an uneducated chick maybe being poorly read(especially if she had less opportunities)...but this girl is Josea Williams grandaughter(how many times has she mentioned it) AND she is a college grad-I think.
If this isn't true, Im sorry for getting you all gassed up about Porsha getting fired. But if it IS true! You got the TEA Early!!
In her own words,
Bye Ashy.

The Department of Maine-et-Loire has approved the construction of a second light-rail transit (LRT) line in Angers, France, at a cost of EUR245 million.

In the hotel industry, a key financial measure of a property's performance is Revenue Per Available Room, or RevPAR. That's the amount of money that each room in a hotel generates on a nightly, weekly, or monthly basis. RevPAR is affected by occupancy and the average daily rate of the hotel's occupied rooms, but for many hoteliers, it's much more than this; it is a measurement that controls whether the hotel sales department accepts or rejects a piece of group business.

The pen may be mightier than the sword, but it's stronger with a shield
Shield laws are on my mind. The future of the shield law is definitely going to contribute in a large way to the future of journalism.
For anyone reading this blog that may not understand "shield laws" I can explain. A shield law is legislation that is designed to provide news reporters/journalists the right to keep a source secret. The right to stand up in a court of law and refuse to testify the source in which the information/quotes were gathered from.
Many journalists have actually gone to jail due to the decision to NOT reveal the sources.
Without going back in history and recalling every case, I want to think to the future.
I know that each state has its own specific shield law or form of this law, but when it gets to the federal level how will it all be decided?
A fairly recent news article I found addressing this topic is from September 30, 2009 (scroll down to the bottom to my links to read more. I have included a more recent one that links to an article from late December 2009). An online article via nytimes.com says:
"The Obama administration has told lawmakers that it opposes legislation that could protect reporters from being imprisoned if they refuse to disclose confidential sources who leak material about national security, according to several people involved with the negotiations.
The administration this week sent to Congress sweeping revisions to a 'media shield' bill that would significantly weaken its protections against forcing reporters to testify. -Charlie Savage"
Further reading explains that the rights may only extend to journalists that are hired for specific companies. That means that this right would not extend to freelance journalists, bloggers, college students working for college papers.. in other words anyone that isn't employed to a specific news organization.
I can see from the administration's point of view, but I think that it is my right as a journalist to be able to obtain this information -- and by interviewing other sources that will go on record and argue for / against the information provided , be able to expose this information. Anonymous sources can cause the credibility of the story to decrease, but in investigative cases it is necessary. I don't think it should happen quite often, and I think most of the time it happens once in a while when a BIG story is being leaked. Journalists know not to randomly allow confidentiality to a source unless it would truly damage the source's reputation, job, safety, etc. We need to keep our sources safe.
Journalists aren't working against the government (at least not me), and we are not working FOR the government. We are working alongside them, and everyone else, in order to accomplish our goal, to educate the public on things that truly matter. To provide information that the public deserves to have.
This could all be subjective, and I know most of it is, but I wonder what deep dark secret the government could be hiding if it is that important that cases of national security are not kept confidential.
I apologize if I don't make sense. I am rather sick and have been bedridden for over 24 hours. Shield laws have been one of the most prominent things within my mind, and I thought I would share this with you all.

text: I just received my iTSX from American Muscle and BAMA, but I can't get it to work. For starters, it won't recognize the device or accessory information during the programming's initial steps. I found a workaround on my iPhone 4 with iOS 6--go to Info > View device, and then load the programmer. However, I can't get beyond the next step where I turn the key to the ON position, because at this point it errs, saying that it can't find the ECU Id. I tried unpairing it from my iPhone to try my first generation iPad with iOS 5.1, but it could not get beyond the accessory info, and my workaround wasn't helping. I'm updating my iPad to 5.1.1, but I don't know if that will help. I found elsewhere on the interwebs that the device is not working well with iOS 6, and that's why I was trying my iPad with iOS 5. Also, the status light is pink or purple, which is not defined in the PDF manual, so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot the issue. When I place my hand beneath the status light, I can see that the light is emitting blue and red simultaneously, but such a combo is also not defined in the manual. When I go to SCT website, their last firmware update was for their handheld tuner. I don't know how to proceed. Any feedback would be appreciated.

As of August 25, 2014, at least two cases of Ebola have been identified from Équateur Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo by the Ministry of Health from among 8 tested individuals. (link)
According to the Minister of Health Felix Kabangue Numbi, the Ebola strains identified include Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV) and a Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV)/Sudan ebolavirus cross strain. According to Kabangue Numbi the Zaire and Sudan strains are very similar.
Although there is uncertainty over the strain or strains infecting individuals in this outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, it does not appear to be the same strain that has recently infected more than 2500 people in Nigeria and Western Africa.
According to Kabangue Numbi, as many as 13 people have died from this Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The index case was apparently a pregnant woman who died on August 11. The husband of this woman has tested positive and a doctor, nurse, and hygienist who treat this pregnant woman as well as two additional health care workers have died. Other suspected cases in this outbreak include relatives or villagers who attended the woman's funeral. (link)
Contact tracing has indicated that these cases have been reported from at least three villages, Djera, Lokolia, and Watsikengo, from the Boende territory or administrative zone which is part of the Tshuapa district or subregion of the Équateur Province. (see map below) Currently 11 contacts of these confirmed and suspected cases are in isolation.
Confounding the public health situation in the Boende territory is that up to 75 deaths have been recently reported from the region. According to the World Health Organization most of these individuals have died from "febrile gastroenteritis with haemorrhaging." (see this FluTrackers thread) Whether any of these deaths beyond the 13 referenced by Kabangue Numbi are reclassified as Ebola deaths remains to be seen.

A Remote Outer Island Paddling Experience in the Great Bear Rainforest.

Pender, the highest peak on the island provides an incredible backdrop to the pristine, fine, white sand beaches that face westward and sit protected below its weathered ridge lines. Behind the beaches lies tangled temperate rainforest, home to marine wolves whose prints can be seen daily as they travel from beach to beach looking for food. The west side of Campania Island is one of the most remote sections of the British Columbia coastline.This is a unique paddling adventure that inspires feelings of seclusion and connectedness, with breathtaking vistas, relaxing beach explorations and hikes with days capped by incredible sunsets. The ocean ecosystem out here is supercharged with all types of marine life including foraging Humpback Whales, large colony's of sea birds and all types of rich intertidal species. It is a stand up paddlers dream with hundred of islands, inlets and protected shorelines to explore. You will also have the opportunity with good weather to paddle some of the more rugged and exposed shorelines and reefs that face the wide open waters of Hecate Strait.
