Most expensive food ingredients in the world Part I
After last month's article about weird and wonderful foods around the world, we've been bitten by the 'listicle' bug and thought it might be interesting to find out what the world's most expensive foods are.
For this list we are only including food ingredients, not 'the most expensive pizza in the world' or 'the most expensive hamburger in the world', since these are mainly put together using the ingredients listed here! Plus in most cases you'd have to travel to New York or Las Vegas (to name just two) to actually eat these delicacies. We've included some links to sites detailing these dishes below.
What's also interesting is how many foods actually appear on both lists. So if you're looking to compile a bucket list of all of the exotic and expensive foods to try before you die, then you've come to the right place. And you'll be pleased to know that the highly toxic blowfish (fugu) is in fact not on this list (it's on the other one).
It might be a bit of a long bow, but there is also a connection between this list and a new product we will be launching soon which may help people who are buying expensive ingredients – scroll down to find out more.
As there are 30 foods that have made the list, we've split it into two – listed in ascending order of price, with Part II to publish next time. So without further ado, here is the first part of (what we believe to be) the most comprehensive list of all the world's most expensive ingredients. Unfortunately you can't get them all from Woolies.
1 Vanilla
Price $122 per Kg
The price is dictated by the fact that the flower blooms for a very short period and harvesting is very labour intensive. See also saffron below.
2 Foie gras
Price $122 per Kg
Foie gras is a type of pate made from goose or duck liver. It is from France and apparently dates back 4,000 years. Some countries prohibit the sale or production of foie gras as it involves the force feeding of the animal to fatten up the liver.
3 Wagyu beef/Kobe beef
Price $268 per Kg (Japanese sourced)
Wagyu beef (also known as Kobe beef) is named after the breed of cattle raised in the Hyogo region in Japan. They are raised in a stress-free environment which gives the meat a marbled effect and a juicy tenderness.
4 Jamon Iberico de Bellota
Price $434 per Kg
If you like leg of ham, then this should be top of your list. It is made in Spain and Portugal from free range pigs which eat only acorns and roots. The ham is cured for 6 years.
5 Matcha green tea
Price $685 per Kg
Drunk by Samurai warriors, perhaps because it's good for a sustained boost of energy due to its caffeine content which releases over a longer period than caffeine from a cup of coffee.
6 Kopi luwak
Price $268-$774 per Kg
Not technically a food, this is a type of coffee bean, which also made the last list, due to how it is 'made'. Also known as civet coffee, the coffee beans pass through the gut of the animal when eaten and apparently produce a less bitter cup of coffee.
7 Moose milk cheese
Price $1,188 per Kg
Comes in three different types – a feta type, a blue cheese and a rind type. Produced by just three moose in Sweden.
8 Golden tigerfish
Price $1,741 per Kg
This fish lives off the coast of China and is mainly eaten there. One changed hands in 2007 for $83,000 – it was 48 Kg and 1.8m long.
9 Balsamic vinegar
Price $1,890 per litre (for 25 year old Modena-sourced)
Made from the rare Trebbiano grape in Modena in Italy (where Maseratis and Ferraris come from – no wonder it's expensive). The grapes are left to dry for 10-25 years. You can get a 500ml bottle of the regular stuff from the supermarket for $5.
10 Matsutake mushrooms
Price $2,438 per Kg
Up until quite recently these mushrooms were a more normal price, but they have become increasingly rare and may become extinct, hence the price hike.
11 Saffron
Price $1,300-$7,500 per Kg
Also known as 'red gold' saffron is a rich yellow colour and is often added (in sparing amounts) to rice. It's expensive because the flower it comes from – a crocus – only flowers for a week and all the saffron must be collected by hand then. Plus it takes 300,000 flowers to produce just 1 Kg of saffron.
12 Bluefin tuna
Price $9,753 per Kg
Much prized in Japan. In January a Japanese sushi business owner paid $3.4m for a giant (278kg) bluefin tuna at the first 2019 auction.
13 Gold leaf
Price $36,576 per Kg
Edible gold leaf is of course safe to eat, and is used mainly in desserts. It doesn't really taste of anything. Used in very small quantities it's actually not that expensive. Not generally used in eating contests.
14 Almas (white pearl albino) caviar
Price $38,169 per Kg
Caviar is pretty expensive – white pearl albino or 'Almas' caviar is the most expensive, as it is the roe from the rare albino beluga sturgeon found only in the Caspian and Black Seas. The price above is based on the Guinness World record for white caviar from a 100 year old sturgeon. Regular caviar is around $3,800 per Kg.
15 White alba truffles
Price $243,395 per Kg
Truffles (pictured above) are a type of fungus that grow at the base of trees. White Alba truffles are from Piedmont in Italy and are found by specially trained pigs or dogs and are much rarer than other kinds. They cannot be cultivated, hence the price. The price above is based on how much a casino boss paid for a 1.5Kg one back in 2007. If you shop around you'd probably get one for less.
And the connection to one of our upcoming new products? If you have just bought yourself a leg of Jamon Iberico de Bellota ham or some bluefin tuna, you'll want to make sure you give everyone a slice of equal thickness.
Short of buying a butcher's slicer, it'll be hard with a regular knife… introducing the Baourouge slicing knife (pictured), which is equipped with a special guide to make sure that all your slices – of ham or tuna, or of beef or even bread – are all the same thickness. Perfect for people who have exquisite taste in food, but also want to be conspicuously fair! More details soon.
By the way, if our pricing is out on any of these foods (either way) – let us know and we'll update the list. See Part II here.

Impact of Iceland volcano eruption, Eyjafjallajökull, on ocean biology assessed
Professor Eric Achterberg and a team of scientists from the University of Southampton conducted three research voyages in 2010 aboard the Royal Research Ship Discovery to investigate ocean productivity following the eruption of Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajökull. The eruption threw volcanic ash several kilometres into the atmosphere, bringing European air travel to a standstill and seeding the seas south of Iceland with volcanic ash.
According to research carried out, the impact of the 2010 eruption has had a significant but short-lived effect on the biology of the North Atlantic Ocean and the findings have been published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
In 2007 the team showed that following a large spring bloom, phytoplankton – microscopic plants that form the basis of the marine food chain in the Iceland Basin - became growth-limited because of a lack of dissolved iron, a vital component in their productivity. Understanding ocean productivity is essential as Phytoplankton blooms remove carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.
The scientists – from University of Southampton, based at National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOCS) – together with colleagues from the University of Cape Town and the Norwegian Institute for Air Research conducted the three research voyages in 2010 to investigate ocean productivity and to find out if the volcanic ash inputs from Eyjafjallajökull had supplied sufficient iron to sustain the spring blooms longer than usual. The initial voyage led by NOCS' Dr Mark Moore, allowed the team to observe and directly sample the large volcanic ash inputs to the Iceland Basin. In return voyages, the team assessed how phytoplankton blooms developed following the ash inputs looking at ash and dust in the atmosphere, and nutrients in the ocean.
Chief scientist for the summer research cruise and lead author of the paper, Professor Eric Achterberg from the University of Southampton, highlighted the significance of the process in this part of the world ocean saying: "The high latitude North Atlantic Ocean is a globally important ocean region, as it is a sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide, and an area where deep water formation takes place. A limit to the availability of iron in this region means that the ocean is less efficient in its uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide."
Biological experiments performed by the team found that the five-week eruption supplied dissolved iron to an ocean region of the North Atlantic of up 570,000 square kilometres, increasing the number of phytoplankton cells stimulating phytoplankton growth. The effects of the volcanic ash inputs were nevertheless short-lived as the extra iron resulted in the rapid removal of biological nitrate, causing nitrogen limitation of the phytoplankton population.
Professor Achterberg, who is Head of Ocean Biochemistry and Ecosystems Research Group, says: "The additional removal of carbon by the ash-stimulated phytoplankton was therefore only 15 to 20 per cent higher than in other years making for a significant, but short-lived change to the biogeochemistry of the Iceland Basin."
Published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

8 Things You Need To Succeed: Interview with KJ-52
Isaac Newton once said that "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." In the Christian Rap/Hip-Hop scene, KJ-52 is a gargantuan. KJ has been making hits since Tamagotchi's were a thing and even has a Guiness Book of World Records in his name. He's made christian music professionally for his entire adult life and has been a professional Christian rapper in an impressive, scandal-free manner. Seriously, his biggest controversy was evangelizing to Eminem through the song Dear Slim. In his 20+ years of being a public figure, that's all that they could get him on. Good Job KJ.
With the experience of a notable veteran, we're lucky enough to climb up on his shoulders and see how to make it as a Christian Rap artist. Here's the amazing things KJ-52 had to say:
Make Sure It's God's Will
"Ultimately you need to sit back and ask if this is the will of God for your life. Pray about it. Consult with God. To make it as a Christian musician, you need to take the role of a missionary. If you were a missionary in a foreign land, would you know the language? You have to learn your mission field to make an impact."
Hone Your Craft
"What is it going to take to make you more effective? You must be committed to being excellent at what you do. Hone your craft. Being a professional Christian Hip-Hop artist is no different than any other profession. You have to work hard and continually improve. Make no mistake- there is no substitute for repetition. If you want to improve, keep at it until you're happy with it. That's even more true today. When I first started out, the best way to succeed was to hit up all the labels until you signed a deal. Once you were signed then you could do it on a big scale. Back then, the music industry was like a big government like the USSR and they could pick and choose the hits you listened to. Today, labels cannot predict a successful artist. You have to prove yourself as a successful musician before you get noticed. You have to gain your fans. When you get enough influence, then and only then do labels notice you."
Understand It's a Process
"Don't try to skip steps. You can't go from start to the fifth step. Nope- not at all. You gotta go through steps one through four first. Today especially, you're not going to launch a multi-state tour if you have never performed before.
Set Goals
"First and foremost you need goals. And goals come from a clear vision of what you want to do. Don't be so hyper- focused on your goals and lose your vision. Rather you need to have vision to create short-term and long-term good goals. Start with the end goal and work backwards. Keep working backwards until you get to right now. What is it that you want to do? What can you do right now? Let's say you want to perform concerts on a tour. Take that bigger picture and make it into a written goal. 'I want to be on the road doing tours by (insert date)' and then work backwards. What do you need in place before you can hit the road on your Christian Hip-Hop tour? Work on some short-term goals like 'I am going to complete (X) amount of songs by this date'. Overall, the best advice is to set a large goal and then work backwards into bite-size pieces."
Define your audience
"In today's environment, you are better off finding a smaller platform and a smaller audience. They will propel you. Labels can no longer predict the new hit song- the people determine the hits. Music is now like tribal kingdoms and each tribe elects their officials. With that analogy, how do you get elected?
In order to do that, you have to get support from your tribe. Who's your tribe? That's for you to decide. When I started, we had fewer options than what we have today. If fans weren't physically around me, it was hard to reach them. Nowadays you can connect with people who think like you and like what you like very easily. With that being said, get some tunnel vision with who you're trying to hit. If you're trying to define your audience as 'everybody', then nobody will connect to your music. Your fans are typically people who think like you."
Be Authentic
"Around my 2nd album, I decided that you as the listener will get my entire personality. Most artists give one side of themselves and that's ok, just not me. Many artists stay within the realm of one aspect of their personality partly because of insecurity and partly because of inexperience.
Nowadays, there's really no excuse to be inauthentic. There's so much more artistic freedom than there was- so make music for people who think like you rather than who live next to you. I can now make the music I wanted to make 15 years ago. It's tougher to do, but it's better when it's done. Everybody's like, just be yourself! And you're like, I don't know who I am! Being authentic can be difficult- you're still figuring yourself out. Life's a journey. Read the bible and pray to God. You will find your answers.
Most people live their lives going with the herd and that's probably why I'm still around- I'm not following the herd, I'm doing what other people decided not to do in Christian Hip Hop and that's how I'm still here. I found my own voice and I spoke my own voice. People criticized me a lot in my early career for rapping to the church youth groups but it's those church group demographic that's sustaining me today. That's the group that really like my latest project, Sons of Intellect re-release + new EP. On there, I have a song called I'm good. It's a song that talks about what nobody talks about. Nobody's rapping about what it's like to be a father in your late 30's and mid 40's. It's a song that I wanted to write for a while and didn't have the outlet. Nobody's talking to that demographic and everybody just kind of skips over the details and nuances in that time of life. My first fans are in that stage right now, it really connects with them, and they are very supportive."
Go the Extra Mile
"In addition to being authentic, you still have to be mainstream. Of course you can always just go to the beat of your own drum, there's nothing wrong with that, but don't expect to become relevant and gain supporters. You have to be different and mainstream at the same time to make it. It takes more effort, it takes more time, and it definitely takes falling on your face more. Many people don't want to put in that much effort.
In addition, We burn through music so much faster than what we used to. I benefited from fewer music selections in the beginning of my career. Since there were fewer choices, you were happier with the choices that you had. It was less of a throwaway culture back then. Now you have to do more just to stay relevant. People jam to your music for a little bit and then they are onto the next thing. That's nothing against you as an artist, it's just how people consume music today. Go the extra mile and again, there's no substitute for repetition. You can do it."
Be A King
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of kings to search it out. Proverbs 25:2
"I live by that bible passage. God's desire for your life is ahead of you. Be a king and discover it. The only limitations are the ones you put on yourself."
_ _
As iron sharpens iron, Thank you KJ for all the hard work you've endured to stay in the Christian Hip Hop and Christian Rap Game. God Blessed KJ as an out of box thinker and that's how he's been able to be a professional Christian Hip Hop artist for two decades. He does what he thinks is best and he's reaped the rewards. At Rap Remnant, we want you to develop the discernment as KJ-52 has done and show your thanks to this Christian Hip Hop veteran by supporting his latest project Sons of Intellect re-release + new EP. For every KJ-52 fan, this is one thing you don't want to ignore. One of his favorite songs on this project was Blame It On The Hop Hop, because sometimes, as an artist, when you complete something, you can step away and admire you own work. On Blame It On The Hop Hop, KJ-52 said exactly what he wanted to say, he's proud of his word play, and he's proud of what he said. It's a beautiful thing to say everything you want to say and leave nothing on the table.

The Labour MP for Hampstead declared that Thatcher wreaked "the most heinous, social, economic and spiritual damage upon this country", later adding: "a woman? not on my terms". Jackson was jeered and booed by Tory MPs, with Tony Baldry arguing in a point of order that her speech was against the "conventions of the House" as "this is not and has never been a general debate on the memory of the person who has been deceased, but an opportunity for tribute". But John Bercow rejected the criticisim, stating that "nothing unparliamentary has occured". "We are debating a motion that says 'this House has considered the matter of tributes to the Baroness Thatcher' - that is what we are doing and nothing has got in the way of that."

No bus driver killed by policeman in Lagos
The Lagos State Police Command yesterday denied its operatives shot a commercial bus driver dead at Ayobo on Friday.
It said the person reported dead in an online video only pretended to be dead when policemen on anti-crime patrol were attacked by a gang of suspected cultists led by one Lekan Isiaka.
Social media reports with video, had later alleged policemen killed a driver at Mosan Okunola area of Ayobo, Ipaja, following the latter's refusal to part with money they had demanded from him.
According to the online report, the policemen also released sporadic gunshots to scare onlookers as they made to escape after allegedly killing the driver, but two members of the team were chased and caught by passers by.
It was gathered that the crowd and the bus conductor disarmed the two policemen they caught who were later taken alongside the body by a reinforced team comprising officials of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and policemen, to Area P, Ayobo.
The operatives, witnesses alleged, harassed those recording the incident, seized their phones, arrested the conductor and a few others.
But in a statement signed by police spokesman, Chike Oti, a Chief Superintendent (CSP), the command said: "The incident took place at Mosan Okunola Community in Ayobo area of the state where a team of anti crime policemen on routine patrol, led by Inspector Oloruntoba Gbenga, was attacked by a gang of youths suspected to be members of an unlawful society led by one Lekan Isiaka.
"The said Lekan Isiaka while trying to snatch a rifle assigned to Inspector Frank Ikpokpo, stabbed him on the head.
The rest of the team resisted the criminal gang and made a distress call to their Area Command Headquarters in Ayobo following which a team of policemen were dispatched to the scene on rescue mission.
The rescue team succeeded in arresting the notorious Lekan Isiaka who pretended to be dead in the video being circulated alongside his partners in crime, namely: Precious Bassey, Anayo Ugwu, Adewale Fatai, Samuel Akande, Matthew Ogbede, Adewunmi Idowu, Chukwuka Oshele and Kunle Adeola. Inspector Frank Ikpokpo is in the Intensive Care Unit of a private hospital.

College class of 2011, I hear that you are graduating. This probably means that you are in need of someone to offer you unsolicited advice.
Well, you're in luck. As a recent graduate myself, I am positively overflowing with knowledge. At least, I think that it is knowledge, because I got a little of it on some plants, and they died. I hear that trace amounts of knowledge can be dangerous! So this will be a valedictory address where the word "valedictory" is from the Latin for "Are you kidding me, I don't know Latin, the class was at 9 a.m., and that conflicted with my college drinking schedule."
I was supposed to have some words of wisdom. I was supposed to tell you that college was worth it. I was supposed to tell you to Follow Your Dreams and Listen To What Life Is Telling You.
But it is pretty clear what Life is telling you. Life is saying, "Hey, you don't have a job." It is saying, "Karl, you'd better move back into your parents' basement."
The numbers are grim. Only 53 percent of 2006 to 2010 graduates are employed, and that number might drop if my editor doesn't like the joke I made in that last paragraph. If you are now graduating from college, the odds are higher that your parents will provide "housing support" than that you expect to fare better in life than they did.
So, congrats! You know how people say that college is the best time of your life and "seriously, college is the best time of your life" and "of course I live in this dorm and I definitely wasn't just lurking here hoping to follow someone into the building so I could inhale one last whiff of collegiate life" and "Hey, security guard, stop removing me from the premises"? Well, those people really mean those things.
So, what have you been doing for the past four years?
You may have been marching around the campus chanting, "No means yes, yes means anal!" like the members of the recently suspended Delta Kappa Epsilon frat at Yale.
You may have been making an elaborate PowerPoint of all the men you'd had carnal relations with, as did Karen Owen of Duke University.
But you definitely weren't studying.
Trust me. I was in your shoes last year, if you rented that specific pair of graduation shoes. And there's research to back me up. A study found that in 2003, college students put in only 14 hours of work per week — compared to 24 hours in 1961.
But hey, we were entitled to it! After working from kindergarten onward pretending to be baby Einsteins, we needed some sort of reprieve! That was why, in college, class did not start before noon, and you were allowed to take courses with names like "Who Is Sexier: Beowulf or the Element Carbon?" and "Let's Speculate About Kinky Sexual Things Friedrich Engels Might Have Enjoyed."
So it's almost a relief that the job market is so terrible for recent graduates. This enables us to do what we do best: not work, ever. That's what college was about, after all. Not working.
In a survey of students included in the book "Academically Adrift" by Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa, only 25 percent reported being required to read more than 40 pages a week or write more than 20 pages over the course of a semester. An additional 25 percent found themselves in courses that required more reading — but no additional writing. When I see statistics like this, I begin weeping and laughing simultaneously until it frightens the man who shares my cubicle. Forty pages a week? Just wait until you're in the workforce!
Oh, I'm sorry. You won't be.
It couldn't possibly be correlation. After all, you are all getting A's.
It couldn't be that college adds no value. Sure, 36 percent of students failed to show any meaningful improvement in complex reading, writing and critical thinking skills on the Collegiate Learning Assessment tests at the end of four years. But that wasn't because they were never required to read, write or think critically, or, well, work at all. Unless they were engineers. And engineers have jobs.
The one sad fact about studying is that it seems to give you the skills that employers actually want: critical thinking, reading and, most of all, writing. There were correlations between improvement on the CLAT and major — Humanities majors scored 69 points higher than business majors, for instance — but the difference dwindled once the researchers took into account the reading and writing requirements of the students' courses.
Unfortunately, it seems that you needed to work.
I am sorry that no one got this message to you sooner.
I tried to tell you in February, but you were too busy marching around the campus yelling "No means yes!" to hear me.
On the bright side, you now have no choice but to go to grad school. All grad school requires is that you spend up to eight years putting off a big project. You can do that! That's the only skill everyone acquires during college.
Still, that feels almost like giving up.
When you pictured yourself in 10 years, you didn't picture this. Your framed degree looks forlorn in your parents' basement. If you have a job at all, it's in a weird industry like cab-driving or Not Working In A Field Related To Your Major. It's, frankly, depressing.
T. H. White wrote, "The only cure for sadness is to learn something."
Too bad that option's clearly out.

MSN Announces Plans for Pilot Program
On 24 May, MSN received a grant from the Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation in support a new student-focused program to be piloted in 2019. The "MSN Education and Career Scholarships for Youths from a Refugee Background" will provide educational scholarships, career development advice and mentoring to ten students coming from refugee backgrounds.
This pilot program aims to support eligible participants to:
• remain enrolled in their high school or other educational institute during the term of the pilot program;
• increase their confidence in their ability to engage with their studies;
• overcome educational and social barriers in order to make well informed decisions about their future;
• improve their understanding of Australian cultural norms and expectations;
• increase their knowledge of training opportunities and further education; and
• pursue opportunities in a chosen career and further education, resulting in employment and advancement.
In addition to our partnership with Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation, the program will also be supported by Northern Settlement Services, mentors from the community and career advisors. New MSN executive member Jennifer Flinn will manage the program with the particular support of executive members Paul Battle (mentor training), Nick Killin (mentor coordinator), Pat O'Flaherty (participant coordinator and career advising liaison) and MSN Chair Jon Chin.
More details on student eligibility, the application process and program timelines will be available later in the year.

The Data Analysis Maturity Model – Level One: Data Collection Hygiene
Data Science and Advanced Analytics are umbrella terms that usually deal with predictive or prescriptive analytics. They often involve Reporting, Business Intelligence, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Artificial Intelligence techniques. Most of the time these technologies rely heavily on linear algebra and statistics for their predictions and pattern analysis.
In any foundational mathematics, and especially in statistics, base-data trustworthiness is essential. The result of a calculation is only as good as the information it uses. Depending on the algorithm in use, even small errors in the data are magnified until the result is untrustworthy. It follows that the processes and technologies used to collect, store and manipulate the data your downstream predictions use should be verified before you implement any kind of advanced analytics. However, many companies assume or ignore these concepts and rush in to creating solutions without verifying their upstream sources. I've found that describing a series of "Maturity Models" is useful to understand that there is a progression you should follow to get to effective Advanced Analytics.
In the first level of data analytic maturity, the organization has good data collection "hygiene". Starting at the collection point, the base data must be consistent and trustworthy.
Although it might not seem important to Data Science and predictive analytics that a web form have proper field validation, being able to trust a prediction algorithm begins here. As data professionals, we often think about Declarative Referential Integrity (DRI), proper data types, and other data hygiene controls at the storage and processing level. That's very important of course – but beginning with the way we collect data, and even in the way we verify who we collect it from, it's vital to ensure we have a chain of custody mindset through to the end prediction. Often the source of data comes not only from a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) but from "unstructured" (although there's really no such thing) sources such as a text or binary files. Mechanisms starting at the collection point must be set in the context of Programmatic Referential Integrity (PRI) where you write code to provide linking between data elements in a file, as well as trusting the DRI in a data engine. It's also about validating the structure of XML, JSON and other files for integrity.
This maturity level also documents the data flow, referencing the programs that collect the data. For analytics such as medical or financial predictions, the Data Scientist should be able to trace back the way the data is collected. In the next article, I'll explain the second maturity level - reliable data storage and query systems.

I didn't know what to write for my first blog post, so I thought I'd post a sneak preview of the "Ghostbusters 'n' Wrestling Connection" article I'm writing for Spook Central. The article will be posted when the next update to Wrestlecrap.com is made, which should be on Friday September 28th. That's assuming the article I wrote for Wrestlecrap is posted in that update, as I wrote this one to tie into that one. I have a link to Spook Central in the Wrestlecrap article I wrote, and assuming that it's left in, I figure people from that site might come to mine, and it would be nice if I "greeted" them with something wrestling-related.
Here's an excerpt from the article (minus the spiffy formatting)...
In the 1950s, Norbert Grupe (aka Wilhelm von Homburg) and his father Richard Grupe emigrated to the U.S. where they launched a career as professional wrestlers. Billing themselves as "The Vikings", father and son did the circuit in barbarian costumes and cow-horn helmets. The young man learned to project a bad-guy persona as part of wrestling drama. In 1962, Norbert traded his wrestler's leotard for the satin trunks of boxing. Below is a photo of Robert and Norbert Grupe - sadly, not in their Vikings costumes - provided by Robert's daughter, Rona Grupe Weber.
The "Ghostbusters 'n' Wrestling Connection" article is live on Spook Central.

Be Aware Of Forex News Coming out
When trading Forex, it is really important to be aware of Forex news coming out which may affect your trade.
A great example of this happened this morning.
The EUR AUD had broken a support and the 4 Hr bar had closed below it.
But when I checked the news I could see AUD employment data coming out.
When the news came out the Australian employment figures were much worse than expected,
… and hey presto, looking at the 1 minute bar at 02:30 on MT4 (which is actually 00:30 UK time when the news was released), there was a massive spike north which would have hit my stop had I taken the trade.
4 Hour Chart – Spike would have hit my top:
So being aware of what news was coming out, and having the discipline not take the trade because of it, I saved myself having a losing trade.
The calendar I have used above is on Forex Factory.
All resources I am using are listed on my resources page.

QUEENS, N.Y. — John J. Gotti, the 23-year-old namesake grandson of the late godfather, pleaded guilty Wednesday to selling highly addictive Oxycodone pills in the neighborhoods of Howard Beach and Ozone Park.
Gotti is expected to get eight years in prison and forfeit $250,000 in cash when he's sentenced on March 2.
Prosecutors said Gotti was generating about $1.6 million in business a year by illegally selling prescription pain meds that are part of a major drug plague, the worst in U.S. history. Use of Oxycodone, which is in a class of drugs called opioids, often leads to heroin abuse because the heroin is cheaper to buy.
Queens District Attorney Richard Brown noted opioids are now killing 91 Americans a day.
"Oxycodone, in particular, is extremely potent and has a high potential for abuse and death," Brown said.
The NYPD Narcotics Bureau, working with the DA's office, nailed Gotti in much the same way that his grandfather was brought down nearly 25 years ago: by wiretap.
Detectives had installed a listening device on Gotti's Infiniti G35 sedan and also monitored his phone conversations.
They intercepted one conversation in which Gotti was heard talking about his Oxycodone trafficking business, admitting that he sold more than 4,200 pills a month. He was making about $100,000 a month.
In the same conversation, Gotti said he stored his drug-trafficking records and $200,000 of narcotics proceeds at an associate's home, hoping to hide the records and cash from cops.
The district attorney said Gotti was selling pills for between $21 and $30 apiece.
Between April 22, 2016, and July 28, 2016, undercover officers bought $46,080 worth of Oxycodone from Gotti during 11 undercover buys. Ten of those buys were recorded on both video and audio footage.
When Gotti was stopped in his Jeep by police on June 30, 2016, cops said he had a Gucci bag in the vehicle that contained more than 200 Oxycodone pills, a bottle of steroids, and an assortment of Xanax, methadone pills and marijuana.
Gotti had more than $2,000 in cash in his pants pocket and police found an additional $5,600 in cash in the Jeep.
On Aug. 4, 2016, search warrants were executed all over south Queens as part of the takedown of Gotti's operation. Police went to the Gotti family home on 85th Street in Howard Beach, where the Dapper Don once lived, and found $52,000 in cash in the grandson's bedroom along with 480 Oxycodone pills.
Gotti's grandfather, once the godfather of the Gambino Crime Family, had five children. Gotti's son, Peter, is the father of John J. Gotti.
Ironically, concerns about a mid-1980s drug case led the original John Gotti to plot the unsanctioned mob hit on former Gambino godfather, Paul Castellano.
John Gotti's brother, Gene, had been indicted in a federal drug case.
When Castellano demanded to see evidence that was turned over to defense lawyers — especially transcripts of wiretaps — Gotti planned the hit on Castellano before Castellano could get to his brother.
Gene Gotti ultimately went to prison for 50 years to life in the drug case. John Gotti the godfather died from cancer in a federal prison hospital in June 2002.
His grandson remains locked up in jail because he never posted the $2 million bail after his arrest. He's looking at eight years in prison, when the judge sentences him March 2.

Fuller, Margaret
Read here about Sarah Margaret Fuller Ossoli, commonly known as Margaret Fuller, an American journalist, critic, and women's rights advocate who played a critical role in Richard Buckminster Fuller's intellectual development.
Margaret Fuller (1810 – 1850) played a critical role in the intellectual life of Richard Buckminster Fuller, as he first embarked on his course of research that led to his development of tensegrity.
This article contains original research undertaken by the tensegrity wiki community. It contains
- Brief biography of Margaret's life.
- Margaret's personal identity crisis in 1831
- Fuller's discovery of Margaret's work
- The role of personal identity crisis in tensegrity research
A short biography and timeline is presented to provide context for the article. For an in depth treatment see the 2013 Pulitzer prize-winning [Fuller: A New American Life By Megan Marshall].
//This bio includes passages from the wikipedia article accessed January 1, 2016.//
Sarah Margaret Fuller Ossoli (May 23, 1810 – July 19, 1850), commonly known as Margaret Fuller, was an American journalist, critic, and women's rights advocate associated with the American transcendentalism movement. She was the first full-time American female book reviewer in journalism. Her book Woman in the Nineteenth Century is considered the first major feminist work in the United States.
Born Sarah Margaret Fuller in Cambridge, Massachusetts, she was given a substantial early education by her father, Timothy Fuller. She later had more formal schooling and became a teacher before, in 1839, she began overseeing what she called "conversations": discussions among women meant to compensate for their lack of access to higher education. She became the first editor of the transcendentalist journal The Dial in 1840, before joining the staff of the New York Tribune under Horace Greeley in 1844. By the time she was in her 30s, Fuller had earned a reputation as the best-read person in New England, male or female, and became the first woman allowed to use the library at Harvard College. Her seminal work, Woman in the Nineteenth Century, was published in 1845. A year later, she was sent to Europe for the Tribune as its first female correspondent. She soon became involved with the revolutions in Italy and allied herself with Giuseppe Mazzini, leader of the Italian Republican movement. She had a relationship with Giovanni Ossoli, with whom she had a child. All three members of the family died in a shipwreck off Fire Island, New York, as they were traveling to the United States in 1850. Fuller's body was never recovered.
envied all the little children… they could never know this strange anguish, this dread uncertainty."
She tried her usual cure, a long and vigorous walk. Hours passed, and Margaret found that her anguish had passed, but had not restored her as usual; instead, she found herself contemplating the easy, available option of suicide. "It seemed as if I could never return to a world in which I had no place, to the mockery of humanities. I could not act a part, nor seem to live any longer."
Stunned and submissive to her dark mood, she came to a pool of water. Her life passed before her eyes. In particular, she saw again a moment when she was a little girl, standing in her home, asking the questions of personal identity that had brought her to this low point, "how came I here? How is it that I seem to be this Margaret Fuller? What does it mean? What shall I do about it?" She wrote in her diary,
> I remembered all the times and ways in which the same thought had returned. I saw how long it must be before the soul can learn to act under these limitations of time and space, and human nature; but I saw, also, that it MUST do it,--that it must make all this false true,--and sow new and immortal plants in the garden of God, before it could return again. I saw there was no self; that selfishness was all folly, and the result of circumstance; that it was only because I thought self real that I suffered; that I had only to live in the idea of the ALL, and all was mine.
The sun shone as before upon her in the wood, before the little pool of water, but Ms. Fuller was forever transformed. Her personal identity had become stripped of conventional anchor points such as father, family and nation. Instead, the central idea of her thought became the ineffability of Truth. She had a direct experience of the unity of time and space, and a vision of the role of humanity within that unity: to act on behalf of all life. Her thought and personality changed forever. She returned home a different person, and remained true to the perspective that she gained that fateful day through the rest of her difficult life. She embarked on a controversial life of letters and wrote about human nature, harmony, good and evil and patience.
Significance to Tensegrity Research
Margaret Fuller's work is significant as her writing was a formative influence on Richard Buckminster Fuller's intellectual development, which led to the discovery of tensegrity as we know it today. For details, read here.

text: Previously I have tried to dual boot Windows 7 with my cracked copy of Vista (Vista was installed first with Vista Loader 188.8.131.52). I dual booted them on the same hard drive (partitioned). However when I installed Win7, it borked the Vista Loader and my Vista install got trashed. Also I couldn't re-apply the Vista Loader patch, it just wouldn't work. With the Win7 RC coming out soon, is there any possibly way I could dual boot the two, and still have my Vista install intact? Would installing Win7 to a completely seperate hard-drive fix the problem? Thanks. Edit: Perhaps it was due to the fact that I chose to install Win7 from within Vista. (Ie I started the install while on Vista, through a cd)

APRIL 10-- Book Review: "Bicycling Guide to Route 66" by Bob Robinson. 200 pages on what to see and do by a man who evidently rode the whole thing.
I would definitely like to see there one day be a regular organized Route 66 for bicyclists. Illinois is already doing a lot with bike paths.
APRIL 11-- The neon around the edges of the Boots Court Motel in Carthage, Missouri, has been relighted. Ron "Tattoo Man" Jones paid for the restoration of the Boots Court neon sign a few years ago.
The motel was built in 1938 by Arthur Boots at 107 S. garrison Avenue, considered the "Crossroads of America" because Route 66 and US-71 intersect here.
Clark Gable stayed several times in Room 6.
The Boots Court became the Boots Motel in the 1950s. It closed in the early 2000s after years of decline. The current owners bought it in 2011 and have done a great job restoring it.

11 December 2017
The ACT has a new strategy to protect and manage our endangered grasslands.
Less than 10% of the grasslands in south-eastern Australia are in good condition, and the ACT is home to a significant portion of that.
The new ACT Native Grassland Conservation Strategy and associated action plans will guide conservation of this unique ecosystem and its rich variety of plants and animals including the threatened Grassland Earless Dragon, Golden Sun Moth, Perunga Grasshopper and Button Wrinklewort.
The grasslands contribute to our natural biodiversity, our history and heritage, our local amenity and community as well as providing opportunities to enhance cultural engagement, education and scientific research.
The strategy will help us manage threats and maintain and improve ecological connectivity and biodiversity throughout our grasslands. It will also guide our monitoring and research programs and help us improve the grasslands' resilience to a changing climate.
It outlines how the government can better partner with the community given the essential contribution made by community volunteers to native grassland management and restoration programs.
Community groups already raise public awareness and undertake important citizen science projects and on-ground restoration activities.
The ACT Native Grassland Conservation Strategy and Action Plans will guide the protection, management and restoration of native grasslands and its component species for the next 10 years, building on the successful protection and management of grasslands achieved since the original 2005 Lowland Grassland Conservation Strategy.
See the full strategy and a summary at https://www.yoursay.act.gov.au.

"Derelict" is in black & white to better marry the visual quality of the two originals (and also because both films look great in black & white). Roughly 30 minutes has been cut from Prometheus and about an hour of Alien has been used in its place. Some content from the deleted scenes of Prometheus was also used.

This was a much better experience than either film. It is a challenge of patience to watch Alien through a modern lens, given how slowly it progresses. And Prometheus had far too much happening, from bizarre side stories to forced storytelling mechanics (like taking off your helmet on a foreign planet). Derelict does a great job of minimizing the quirks of the original films, while weaving them together with real artistry. The choice of black & white really sets the mood for this excellent fanmix. I love the side-by-side comparison near the end, of the Xenomorph hanging in the doorway struggling not to be sucked into space, and then the Engineer hanging in the doorway struggling not to be consumed by the trilobite.

This is a very interesting and visually stunning mash-up that does a great job at making Prometheus much more of a direct Alien prequel as opposed to a spin-off film that ties into the franchise while setting up things that occur in the earlier Alien. The two films transition into each other flawlessly and I love the use of black and white to really emphasize the shadows and further build up tension and suspense. Both films' narratives intertwine with one another very smoothly thanks to clever editing. I really loved this.
On a quick side-note, I also want to talk about another fanedit from this editor that isn't on the IFDB, a Star Wars prequel fan-edit titled The Chosen One, which I also really liked, as it removes much of the cringier elements from all three prequel films and tells a much more streamlined version of the overall story that works incredibly well, making its best aspects shine all the more brighter.

Not all fan edits exist to simply extend a film or fix some perceived problem with its story or pacing. Sometimes, an editor wants to make a work of art. An interesting mix of elements from different films can be combined to create an incredibly unique experience, and that is just what JobWillins has done here with Derelict, a combination of Prometheus and Alien.
Obviously, it isn't as easy as sticking both films together at the ends and calling it a day. JobWillins' vision calls for a marrying of both films' stories, shifting back and forth between each film. This creates a unique dual narrative structure that increases the mystery element in each film and heightens the dread surrounding each cast of characters.
Roughly 30 or so minutes of Prometheus has been cut and replaced with an hour of Alien, staggered at varying intervals according to how well each scene fits. Beginning with David aboard the Prometheus, Derelict aims for maximum ambiguity: without the beginning of time opening or the Isle of Skye scene, the voyage and David's role in it become a mystery, one that only heightens when the ship reaches its destination, only for the film to jump 30 years later to the Nostromo.
The unknown elements of Alien gain even more of a sinister edge with this approach. The repeated beacon that calls the Nostromo is now implied to have something to do with the Prometheus mission. The derelict vessel becomes an even bigger enigma once the Juggernaut is revealed. David and Ash become even more intrinsically linked. All of these new revelations aren't specifically stated by the edit, just implied by the new ordering.
The best bits of this edit are in how the films transition into each other. The touchdown of the Prometheus cuts directly to the Nostromo's rocky landing from inside the cockpit. Shaw, Holloway, and David's escape from the storm cuts directly to Dallas and Lambert with Kane at the Nostromo airlock. An excellent montage of Weyland's group entering the Engineer pyramid plays over Ash's speech on the perfection of the Alien. And don't get me started on how tense the new, combined climax is. With each cut of three decades, this edit's legitimacy as FanEdit.org's Fan Edit of the Month gets more and more solidified.
As mentioned before, large swaths of both films have been cut. Dropped is most of Prometheus' first act, sadly losing some of the better character moments between Shaw, Holloway, and Vickers (poor Vickers suffers the most from the cutting). Gone too is some of Alien's better bits of banter between Brett and Parker and some of the third act scares, but it's all in the name of creating a pacing that fits in both stories effectively without turning the project into a 4-hour monstrosity. Two deleted scenes from Prometheus are also used.
Video and sound are presented at the internet standard of 15 mbps, at 720p resolution with a 2-channel soundtrack. Presented in high contrast black-and-white to cover the obvious differences between the films' visual styles, Derelict does a great job at emphasizing Ridley Scott's use of light and shadow. Sound is dynamic enough for a stereo mix and quite adequate.
Derelict is an example of the talent that exists outside the Hollywood system. Taking two films separated by 32 years and combining them into a single, flowing story is not an easy feat, let alone making it a unique and entertaining venture when both films have been pored over to death. JobWillins makes the project look easy-peasy. Highly recommended.

Finally got round to watching this edit and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm a huge fan of the original Alien, but less so of Prometheus and Covenant. Personally I just found the mythology that those 2 films introduces removes some of the shock and misfortune the crew in Alien would have felt.
Overall I found the black and white edit nicely, particularly in scenes with the alien making it more inline with the original Giger artwork, as well as providing a similar tone across the 2 films. The overall pacing works especially well for the first 90 mins, with scenes replicating between the films such as the waking up, landing, exploration etc. Its actually hard to tell if this down to purely good editing or if Prometheus is aping the flow of the original.
Later on however the pacing of Prometheus ramps up considerably, and the juxtaposition of films in the last hour can seem a little jarring, particularly between the more violent deaths of Prometheus vs the less is more of Alien. That said, there is a great transition between Weyland's awakening and Ripley's questioning MUTHR that was a highlight of the edit for me.
My only gripe with the edit is that it felt like it minimised some of Ripley's assertiveness, particularly over her colleagues by removing some of the more off the cuff and sarcastic dialogue with them. However overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable way of enjoying the 2 films and putting them in a new perspective. Definitely recommended for fans of the franchise.

As I write this review, I'm only an hour away from seeing Alien: Covenant. I didn't have time for both Alien and Prometheus, but I did luckily have time for this. To start off, I love the decision to take the color out of these movies and make them black-and-white. Ridley Scott's cinematography is already so dark and artful, but black-and-white brings out the beauty in the shadows even more. When I read the description on this edit, I didn't think the narratives would gel, but with the removal of scenes in both films, the narratives intertwine very well and it's not nearly as jarring as I thought it would be. All in all, it was just a nice and interesting way to view both films in one sitting.

The keyboard backlight is one of its best features on Mac laptops because it lights up the keys so that they can be better seen in the evening. In addition, it also looks great. Most users of MacBook Pro, MacBook and MacBook Air love the backlight, but sometimes you need to turn it off.
In this article, we will explain how to completely turn off the keyboard backlight on Mac laptops.
How to turn off the keyboard backlight on MacBook Pro
- Open the Apple menu and select System Preferences. Then select Keyboard.
- On the Keyboard tab, uncheck the box next to Adjust keyboard brightness in low light.
- Now press the "F5" key many times until the backlight completely turns off.
This is all, the backlight is off. You will immediately notice the difference. If not, turn off the lights.
It is important to first disable the option in the settings, otherwise, the backlight may turn on automatically depending on the lighting.
How to turn on the backlight
- Open the Apple menu and select System Preferences. Then select Keyboard .
- On the Keyboard tab, check the box next to Adjust Keyboard Brightness in Low Light .
- Now press the "F6" key many times until the backlight reaches the desired brightness.
If you do not increase the brightness of the backlight, most likely this is due to too bright lighting. Just try again later or take the laptop to a darker room.
This method works on MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. There is no keyboard backlight on Apple computers.

After several months of consideration and weighing all of our options, we have booked our next cruise. It will be aboard the Celebrity Summit traveling from Barcelona and visiting the Canary Islands, Madeira, St. Maartaan, and ending in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
You may remember from previous articles we agonized over whether or not we should venture out and try something new for us on the Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas which was doing a similar itinerary at the same time. We really weighed all of our options and ultimately we decided on the Celebrity cruise mostly because we liked the connection to the sea afforded by the slightly smaller Celebrity ship. It features a panoramic window in the dining room off the back of the ship. The Voyager has a centrally located dining room with only side windows. It also has a more interior feel with many extras like the promenade and the ice rink being interior. We really like to have a connection to the sea, and we felt like the Summit would better provide us with that feeling. We also have to confess that our familiarity with the Celebrity product and our past enjoyable experiences with the line swayed us to stay with what we liked.
The second aspect about which we agonized was which category of room to book. When we took the same category of ship, the Celebrity Infinity, to Hawaii in 2005, we had originally booked a std Ocean View room. When we got to the pier we were informed that we had been upgraded to a Balcony cabin. The Ocean view which we had booked had two upper and two lowers, giving the occupants more floor space. When we were upgraded to the balcony, we gained a veranda, but lost one of the uppers. Hence, our sleeping accommodations were one upper, one King, and one sofa bed. When the sofa bed was out, "you had to leave the room just to change your mind" It was a little crowded with all the beds out. On the next two cruises we were on the smaller Celebrity Mercury. This ship does not offer any standard balcony cabins for four. We choose a Family Ocean View for those cruises. These rooms have a queen, a sofa bed and an upper bunk. they are also about 50% bigger than the rooms we had booked before. So for this cruise, we had to decide if we wanted to go budget and book an ocean view with two upper and two lowers, a standard balcony, or the even better Family Veranda cabin offered on the Millennium class ships.
After much price comparison, we decided to spend just a little extra and go for the Family Veranda cabin. The only caveat was that Celebrity was only offering those cabins as a guarantee. So when we booked, we couldn't see which cabins were available. Also, if we booked these cabins we could be upgraded to a Sky Suite or Celebrity Suite, neither of which would be our first choice. Ideally, when booking the FV category of cabins on Celebrity's Millennium class ships, we want to book the corner cabins. They have a bit more space in the cabin and huge balconies. I was thrilled this morning when I learned that we had been assigned out cabin, and it was not only indeed a FV but also a corner. I found a great photo tour online of this class of cabin. These pictures are actually from the Millennium, but the ships and cabins are nearly identical.
Now that we have our cruise and our cabin booked we need to find airfare and accommodations in Barcelona. The cruise leaves the Saturday after Thanksgiving, so we are thinking of flying on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving to avoid the rush. The prices for those fares including the return trip from San Juan are running around $700.
Leaving on Tuesday will give us three full days in Barcelona. We've also found that three days opens further options in accommodations. There are many tourist apartments located in prime areas of Barcelona that offer accommodations for four or more for about the same price as a double hotel room. The only catch is that you must rent for three days. We have perused the listings on VRBO.com and Rentals Barcelona and using the information from my guide book and online research, we have been able to narrow our choices down to a few nice apartments that rent for around $150 a night.
I guess my next course of action is to get a guide book on the Canary Islands and find a Hotel in San Juan. It should be a fabulous trip.
