If you've been reading this breakfast blog long enough, you'll know by now I'm a big fan of baked eggs. I've tried baking creamy eggs with smoked salmon (Royale) and spinach (Florentine), as well as ham, chorizo and chilli. It's a really comforting weekend brunch, which is simple and has the added bonus of looking great on the plate.
But until very recently I had not baked an egg inside an avocado. Yes, you heard me right, inside an avocado.
Recipe for one blissful weekend brunch
While I bang on about avocado smash ALL the time on my Instagram feed, I haven't even applied heat to this green fruit before, never mind use it as a capsule for baking eggs. But when you remove the stone from a perfectly ripe avocado, you find yourself with this beautifully smooth hole, which really is just asking to be filled to the brim.
I made this one quiet weekend morning for myself, but it just so happens an avocado has two halves, so this recipe can easily be doubled to make breakfast for two - if you want to share, that is.
That's the hard bit out of the way. Now give the avocado egg a good grind of salt and pepper and pop into a hot oven for 20 minutes until the white has just set and the yolk is still runny.
While cooking, whip up your favourite side to accompany - I went for strong chorizo and mellow wilted spinach, because the avocado egg, while pretty, is quite bland. I'd also add chilli flakes for an extra punch.
Enjoy x

Press release: Taishan Unit 1 nuclear power plant enters commercial operation
Taishan Unit 1 nuclear power plant enters commercial operation
Highly significant step forward for EPR technology being deployed at Hinkley Point C
CGN, the global clean energy company, today announced that the new Taishan Unit 1 reactor, one of two under construction in Guangdong province, China, has successfully entered into commercial operation. It is the first EPR anywhere in the world to do so.
This major development comes after announcements were made earlier in the year about fuel loading at the reactor, and the station being linked to the grid. This latest milestone is yet another vote of confidence for the EPR which will also be deployed at Hinkley Point C in Somerset.
Taishan Unit 1 and Unit 2 are each 1755MW reactors, which means Unit 1 is the largest power generation unit ever to enter service. In total the two units will be capable of generating 24TWh of electricity every year, enough to meet the power consumption of 5.8 million British homes. Operation of the two units will also prevent the emission of around 21 million tonnes of CO2 annually.
The Taishan project has been taken forward as a joint venture involving CGN and EDF Group (CGN is the majority owner of the JV, and EDF owns 30%). In the same way, Hinkley Point C is being developed jointly by the two companies (66.5% EDF and 33.5% CGN). Today's announcement is a testament also to the success of the collaboration between the two companies.
Zheng Dongshan, Chief Executive of CGN UK, said: "Today is a historic day for CGN, for EDF and for the EPR technology, as Taishan Unit 1 takes the final step along its journey to commercial operation. The success of the project shows what CGN and EDF can achieve by working collaboratively. The fact that we are able to bring expertise to this country from Taishan gives us even greater confidence in the Hinkley Point C project and the EPR reactors we are building together there."
Simone Rossi, Chief Executive of EDF Energy, said: "This is a great step forward for the EPR and shows that the UK can have confidence in the reactor design which we are using at Hinkley Point C and planning to use at Sizewell C. It also demonstrates the value of our partnership with CGN. Hinkley is already benefiting from lessons learned at Taishan and other EPR projects. This experience will also help lower costs for Sizewell C so that nuclear remains competitive and continues to deliver jobs, skills and industrial opportunities for the UK."
Development of the EPR at Taishan Unit 2 continues, and further announcements are expected soon. Significant progress has been made at Hinkley Point C, with collaboration between experts from CGN and EDF Group and expertise brought from Taishan Unit 1 being key factors. The project, in Somerset, recently celebrated its two-year anniversary since the start of the construction phase.

Coming off their most complete game of the season, the Bucs have a tough task ahead of them. Luckily, they will play at home, where they are 2-1 this season. New Orleans, on the other hand, has yet to win on the road. A small sample size, yes, but the Bucs need any advantage they can get. New Orleans is 1-4 on the season, though they are coming off their first win of the season. It took them until the very end in a home game against the Chargers, but they squeaked out the victory in the end. That could give them some confidence going forward in what looked like a lost season. Bucs fans hope otherwise.
The Saints are much the same team they have been for several years. A dynamic offense focused on a strong passing attack and a defense that gives up a lot of points and yards. That formula has worked for a while, but not this year. With some injuries and off field distractions, as well as the absence of head coach Sean Payton, the Saints winning formula has taken a turn for the worse. For it to work, Drew Brees basically has to be close to perfect. That hasn't been the case this year. While still playing at a very high level, he has a much lower completion percentage than his career average. He also has turned the ball more often than he typically does.
The defensive side of the ball has been the real reason they have lost a ton of games. They haven't been able to stop anyone. Previous years they haven't been great, but they have found ways to come ahead in the end. Turnovers have been a big part of that, which they aren't getting many this year. Everyone has been able to score on the Saints this year. This was a good time for Tampa to get their offense going. They were able to put 38 on the Chiefs, so they certainly have the firepower to put up some big points.
This one will likely come down to how well Drew Brees plays. The Bucs have the second worse passing defense in the league. The Saints have the top passing offense in the league. That number is slightly inflated because they have been playing behind so often, but nobody will doubt that the Saints have a great passing offense. Tampa has done well against the run, but New Orleans rarely runs the ball. I expect Brees to throw around 40 times this game, unless they get out to a big lead. With the name recognition, I expect New Orleans to be favored in this one, but it will be the Buccaneers looking to improve to .500 on the year on Sunday.

Hello everyone , my name is pavneet.
I am a daughter, sister, wife and a mother of my little world… baby K i.e. Kabir who came into this world on 27 October 2016.
I got married in 2014 and since then I am not working I was looking for something that interests me. Before my pregnancy I was learning belly dancing for about a year and I really loved it and I was sure that whatever I will do i will always learning this dance form.
But not everything don't turn as u wish , wish I will continue one day .
I wanted to start blogging when I was expecting but didn't get time as I had complicated days in my pregnancy.
After that baby K was born my whole attention and time was consumed taking care of him.
Finally I got time to start my blog.
Welcome to my small little world….

A Guru (true spiritual teacher) comes to earth to heal the lost peace of the individual's soul. He/ she take birth to reconnect the individual to the true form of life force of this universe. The Guru overcomes every obstacle to reach out to the disciple. He/ she find the ignorant soul and bring them to the spiritual path. With his/ her every deed, be it in words or actions, the Guru shows the disciple the way to live a pious life. With his/ her very being, the Guru personifies the possibility of a life that is able to salvage any individual from the cycle of birth and death. With his/ her grace the Guru enlightens the disciple and imparts the most precious knowledge, i.e., the Brahm Gyan.
Brahm Gyan is the key to solve every problem an individual faces in this life and the next. However, even after the attainment of such a divine knowledge, a disciple can wander off in directions not suitable for his/ her spiritual growth. For this purpose, like every month, a devotional congregation to fulfill the spiritual thirst of all the disciples of His Holiness Ashutosh Maharaj Ji was held at Jaipur, Rajasthan on 11th November 2018. This month the theme of discussion was love for Guru as the most potent solution to the wavering mind.
DJJS Representative while explaining the importance of love for Guru said that love gives way to a serene state of mind. Love makes a disciple become gentle in his/ her words and actions. Filled with love, any disciple can push aside the harness of others. With love for Guru, the disciple is able to nourish only the beneficial aspects of life. The disciple, then, begins to work towards overcoming selfish and harmful behavior, and thereby, begins to live for the greater good. The disciple comes to acknowledge the fact that his/ her Guru exists for a cause. The Guru never asks anything for himself/ herself but for the good of all. In this way, the disciples who are able to walk the path of spirituality can walk for the cause bigger than them. Love, hence asserted Sadhvi Ji, becomes a prayer in motion; a prayer that guides the disciple in every possible way.

UR Medicine experts share some simple tips for a healthier, happier year. Parents: Keep Kids' Holiday Stress in Check The holidays can be happy, exciting, and enjoyable, but busy schedules, challenging family dynamics, and unrealistic expectations can leave kids and their parents feeling stressed. UR Medicine pediatric psychiatrist Dr. Laura Cardella offers tips for parents to help reduce holiday stress for themselves and their children. Pregnancy, Antidepressants and Autism: What's the Risk? A new study found an association between antidepressant use in mothers during pregnancy and the incidence of autism in children. UR Medicine high-risk pregnancy expert Dr. Neil Seligman sorts through this issue, offering advice for women who suffer from depression and are pregnant or want to become pregnant. Get Your Holiday Meal on the 'Nice' List Holidays are a time to indulge a bit, but keep in mind even during this time of year, incorporating more plant-based food into your diet can have many benefits. UR Medicine dietitian Joanna Lipp says it might be easier than you think to integrate more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes into your holiday meals. Mammograms: Facts on 'False Positives' Ten to 16 percent of women who get screening mammograms are called back for additional testing. Though few of them will end up having cancer, callbacks can cause anxiety, even when they result in a 'false positive,' meaning no cancer is found. UR Medicine Women's Imaging director Dr. Avice O'Connell shares what you should know about callbacks and false positives. 12

KDE apps and GTK apps run within a KDE Plasma environment are currently inconsistent regarding their scrollbar behavior. With the default settings (Breeze theme and Breeze light color scheme), here's the situation:
|Track background color
|Track and bar visibility when content isn't scrollable
|Bar overlaps content?
|Matches parent view's background color
|Matches parent view's background color
|Remains visible
|Matches parent view's background color
|Matches parent view's background color, except for main view which is always the default color
|Kirigami apps/views
|No track
|GTK apps using Breeze theme
|Light gray
This inconsistency is not ideal. I see two options to move forward:
- Declare that Breeze's minimalistic style is best suited for overlap-style scrollbars and use them everywhere; decide that people who don't like overlay-style scrollbars should to use a different theme.
- Make the scrollbar style configurable within Breeze, and have apps adjust themselves to support both options.
My personal preference is for option #2; I think it would be a shame to tell people who don't like overlay-style scrollbars (I admit to being such a person) that they need to abandon Breeze entirely.
If we make it configurable within Breeze, here are the two options that should be available:
- Traditional scroller-within-a-track. Appears when the content is scrollable, and disappears when content is not scrollable. When the view becomes scrollable, to avoid overlapping any of the content with the scrollbar, the content does a re-layout, resizes itself, or gains a horizontal scrollbar (depending on the app and context). The track makes no special attempt to blend into the view background and is visually separated with a single-pixel line.
- Overlay-style scroller. There is no separate track; the bar disappears when content is not scrollable, and overlaps the content when the view is scrollable.
The thinking here is that Option 1 will appeal to "form follows function" people who like traditional scrollbars and don't want them monkeyed with. Option 2 will appeal to the "I really like smartphones" crowd and brings overlay-style mobile scrollbars to the desktop--while keeping them constantly visible to preserve some of the functionality of traditional scrollbars.
For apps that cannot implement all of the above options (maybe GTK apps?) they should come as close as possible.

The goal of Boulder Hockey Club and the RoughRiders is to offer strong Tier I, Tier II and recreational all-girl options for our female membership for years to come.
BHC will be offering female-only team options, as well as existing co-ed team options, for any of our current or new female players in the 2018-2019 season. Last season, BHC and the Lady RoughRiders had 160 females participating in Learn to play, 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U, and 16U teams.
Our BHC Staff has an enormous amount of passion to develop and grow the girl's game. We also have a wealth of experience within the girl's game. Click on our bios to learn more about the Boulder Hockey Clubs full time staff members.
Chris Lockrem – former director of Lady RoughRiders, current Director of Hockey.
Tier I Female Options:
The RR and BHC want to create options for girls at all levels at the Sport Stable: Tier I, Tier II and Recreational teams. Team Colorado (CAHA) will manage Tier one until the 2019-2020 season (The 6 clubs that had girl's teams in the spring of 2017 signed a contract agreeing to these terms). BHC and the RoughRider leadership hope that this new structure will aide in developing a large pool of female athletes and developing those athletes in order to be able to compete at the Tier 1 level in the next 3-5 years.
Should my daughter play for a girls team or a boys team?

There's nothing much you are able to do, maybe attempt to email Razer for replacement. Razer provides a two-year warranty with all its mice, irrespective of price point. Razer, has produced a mouse that's designed especially for left handed people. Razer has always place the extras inside a plastic sheath to continue to keep things nice and tidy. The Razer Deathadder is still one of the most popular gaming mice on the marketplace and with its sleek design and smooth movement, it is simple to see why.
As you examine the mouse, you observe the ambidextrous design that's fantastic for both the correct and left-handed users. Anyway, the mouse is stronger and has clearer system in comparison to its predecessor. One other great mouse that is right for a huge selection of games is the Razer DeathAdder Elite.
Inside my opinion the main issue is to discover a mouse which not only is comfortable, but also has a lot of features, and the buttons arranged in a sense which makes sense to you. So, simply because a mouse is at the very top of this list, doesn't mean its the very best for you. If you would rather have a wider mouse like the G502, then you may want to stick with that. There are a few promising mice coming in the not too distant future. Just a couple of years past, the wireless mouse offered limited features, but with all changed as a result of the technological revolution happening. The majority of people will perform better with a lighter gaming mouse which allows for quick movement for flicks and a simple lift. While looking for the very best gaming mouse, a vital feature to check at is its precision and comfortable form.
Theyre drawn in a light curve to coincide with the inside edge of your thumb, positioned over the textured spot near the base of the mouse, so you must reach a bit to hit them. If you're looking at obtaining a mouse and you would like it to be comfortable for extended amounts of time, great to use, look amazing and not be ridiculously overpriced, then you have located your mouse right here! It is all up to you to choose a mouse gives you the best options. As a left-handed, obtaining a top quality gaming mouse proved to be a limited alternative. An excellent gaming mouse doesn't necessarily need to be flashy. Heres all you need to understand when evaluating gaming mice. Razers signature gaming mouse is just one of the most pervasive, iconic peripherals of the past decade.
12-thumb buttons on the appropriate side add a lot of customizable features gamers will love for the best power at the tip of the thumb and excellent driver software that's very simple to use. Clicking is extremely responsive and there haven't been any sticks or jams during my usage. The profile switching button is on the base of the mouse too. You also receive the choice of remapping the buttons to your favourite commands and new macros. In any case, there's a scarcity of customized options and few mirrored versions especially for the lefty. With importing the only option, obtaining a lefty DeathAdder is a costly exercise. There are a few mouse settings you should look to tweak to your preference and a few settings that you need to outright disable to make the most of your gaming performance.

Small-batch Chardonnay from Marlborough negociants Novum. Stonefruit, cream and mineral on the nose. Flintiness meets fruit on the palate, making for a distinctive medium-bodied wine. An appealingly long finish shows this to be a top tier Chardonnay.
Novum use small parcels of fruit from specially selected sites on established Marlborough vineyards to craft the best wines and expressions of terroir possible. Their first vintage arrived in 2016. Novum's primary focus is on Syrah, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
First release of a new Marlborough chardonnay. Full-flavoured, with salty, briny, citrus, toasty yeast lees and spicy oak flavours. Lively, tangy wine with a pleasing texture and lengthy finish. Intensity and power suggest good cellaring potential. Clearly one to watch.
95 points, The Real Review (May 2018)
Peachy, creamy, faintly flinty perfume, all come-hither but smells like high quality chardonnay from the get go. Medium weight, some glossiness to texture though it finishes with flint-grapefruity tang. It's really quite lovely, and the texture is so appealing. Yes thanks.
93 points, The Wine Front (September 2018)
Bright straw-yellow colour with light golden hues. The nose is firm and finely concentrated with a tight core of white stonefruits and citrus fruits, along with fresh, steely minerals melded with hints of creamy barrel-ferment and nutty oak that emerge to provide complexing interest. Medium-full bodied, the palate is taut and elegantly concentrated with bright stonefruit and citrus fruit flavours at the heart, along with a layer of creamy, nutty oak, balanced by crisp, refreshing, cutting acidity. The wine has elegance and linearity, and flows along a very fine phenolic-threaded line, carrying to a long, sustained finish of citrus fruit and nuts. This is a taut, refreshing, finely concentrated Chardonnay with stonefruit and citrus fruit flavours along with subtle nutty oak detail, with crisp, minerally acidity and linearity. Match with grilled and roasted seafood over the next 4-5 years. Mendoza clone Chardonnay from a single site in the Wairau Valley, vines approx. 35 y.o., fully barrel-fermented to 14.0% alc., the wine aged 10 ½ months in 10% new oak with monthly batonnage (on a full moon), with 100% MLF.

MarlboroughArguably New Zealand's most famous wine region owing to international demand for Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough is also the largest wine producing region in the country, comprising 79% of New Zealand's total wine production. Modern winemaking commenced in Marlborough in the 1970s and from tiny beginnings, the vineyard area has rapidly expanded now encompassing 23,600 hectares. Marlborough is located on the east coast of the South Island, with mountains to the west creating a rain shadow, making it one of the driest and sunniest regions in New Zealand. There are three sub regions in Marlborough, the largest being the Wairau Valley, where most plantings are concentrated on free draining alluvial soils. Viticulture has also spread to the cooler Awatere Valley, also on free draining stony loams and vineyards are also situated in the cooler southern valleys with its silt, gravel and clay soils. The soils across all three regions all have relatively low fertility to help curb the vigour of Sauvignon Blanc vines that dominate Marlborough. Although the region built its reputation on crisp, distinctively pungent unoaked Sauvignon Blanc, there is an increasing trend towards more complex barrel-ferment styles. Light-bodied, fruit driven Pinot Noir is also successful.

Aero 1946 / Germany
AERO-1946 (Rolf Bauche & Reinhard Cramer): Wellblech. When Form Follows Frustration. A pioneering dieselpunk collection that was born from the frustration that Wellblech or corrugated sheet metal hardly inspired any interesting furniture.interesting firniture in its two centuries of existence. Next to a cabinet a Wellblech-Hocker made from self fabricated aluminum sheet is meant to be the first step in a toolbox for the use of the material in furniture.: "We are not timeless. We won't save the world. We look in the past, and not just into the future. To us, Bauhaus is just a house. Ten Commands of Good Design are too small in number, for a world that is multi-faceted. We only act in one of its alcoves. With loads of fun and curiosity we combine technical babbittry with a healthy madness. And maybe some of this is still to be found in our objects".

If you´ve ever walked into a room and felt instant drama and mystique, it could be the appeal of dark furniture. Similar to the magnetic pull of dark walls, and decor, furniture can add drama to a room and make the inhabitants feel mysterious, sexy, and sleek. Many love dark furniture because it commands attention in a room, and little decor is needed around it. If you´re trying to change or create a space that is dramatic and compelling, look at these tips for using dark furniture.
- Center of attention: Let´s face it, a dark piece of furniture can sit all by itself in a room and provide all the drama you need. When paired up with other furniture, area rugs and wall art, your space will instantly feel like you´ve stepped into a new and dramatic world. Consider using lighter textiles around your dark furniture to balance the room. If too many dark items are in a room it will feel heavy and weighted, and inhabitants will feel uneasy in your space.
- Space and light: Believe it or not dark furniture commands light and space around it. Similarly to the previous tip, dark furniture needs to have ample light to soak up its beauty and mystique. If you use dark furniture, use the minimal amount of pieces to serve your function and the space of the room. Too many pieces will look over cluttered and uninviting.
- Don´t forget comfort: Comfort should still be at the forefront of your mind when choosing furniture. The look and appeal of dark furniture is captivating, but how comfortable it looks AND feels is important. Often times we spend more time making the furniture appeal visually and forget that your comfort and your guests should come first. Take your time when choosing furniture to test it out and then choose the dark colors that your love.
- Dark doesn´t have to be black: For many homes, the thought of black furniture is too stark and is not appealing for them. Dark furniture doesn´t have to be black. Consider using dark neutrals such as grays, browns, and blues. If you prefer lighter colors to counterbalance the dark, mix and match furniture pieces to bring the balance that you crave. Depending on your space, conversation areas can pair dark furniture with light accessories to differentiate between separate areas for visual and conversational ease.
Your home can use dark furniture to add drama and dimension to a space instantly. Depending on your decorative style, decide how if you want your finishes surrounding your furniture to compliment or contrast your dark furniture. If you choose similar wall coloring to the furniture, the furniture will seem to disappear, and lighter contrasting walls will make the furniture stand out. Every home and style is different, and you choose what resonates with your style. Whichever your choice, dark furniture will bring a mysterious ambiance that you didn´t realize was missing.
Freshome reader´s do you love or hate dark furniture? Some feel it is cold and impersonal, while others love the dramatic appeal. What do you think?

Physical security does not start at your front door any more; the emphasis is being placed on stopping the bad guys at the perimeter, which should be the first level of access to your property, and in order for that first level to be effective, you need a clear line of sight.
Even if you have a camera installed at the gates of a high wall surrounding your property, criminals have become so sophisticated that before you know it they have found another ruse that will assist them to gain access to your property.
The only type of perimeter security that will allow you as clear a line of sight as possible, and work more effectively with CCTV surveillance, will be well designed palisade fencing that cannot be climbed.
The idea is for your all your property security measures to work well together, from your perimeter security to burglar bars and alarms, but being able to see who is coming and going ranks high on the list for good security.
TopFence has been designing and manufacturing palisade fencing that has become the number one crime barrier in Cape Town for ten years now, bringing to this coastal region a quality of palisade fencing that can withstand all the corrosive elements of the blackest South Easter and still look good!
Not a detail has been missed in producing TopFence palisade fencing, from the galvanised components used in the manufacture of this unique palisade fencing system to the standard of workmanship that is evident at any TopFence installation.
TopFence also proves that security can be aesthetically pleasing and does not have to make your property look like a prison, in fact, because each fence is individually manufactured, it can be designed to enhance the visual aspect of your property and still serve as a powerful deterrent to criminals!
Any TopFence client who has already lived with this durable, effective and affordable palisade fencing will re-enforce the reputation for exceptional quality and service excellence earned by the team at TopFence, which should make it a lot easier for you to get serious about perimeter security sooner rather than later!

Denmark, Finland and Norway Denmark, Finland and Norway reported a 1.7 million, predominantly fixed telephony, customers. There was growth in all areas of the business in these countries and encouragingly, competitive pressures continue to reduce.

This led to staff reductions of approximately 10% in Denmark and 20% in Norway. In Norway Tele2 has been successful in cross selling mobile services to its fixed line customers which have kept customer acquisition costs low. In Denmark margins have improved as costs have been reduced and prices have stabilised and Tele2 is now the only remaining fixed telephony and internet provider competing with the incumbent TDC.

In Germany Tele2 continues to benefit from market consolidation as a number of competitors have either been integrated into larger organisations or disappeared from the market and Tele2 is now the number four operator in Germany. The German regulator has made a final decision with regard to local traffic and this local traffic will now be available to Tele2 from 1 December this year. Tele2 is now the second largest alternative operator in Switzerland, and it is the largest alternative fixed telephony operator in Austria.

In a survey by GFK Tele2 France was identified as "the French's favourite operator" and as "the operator offering better prices". Local calling was launched in the quarter and has progressively opened up across all regions which has meant that revenues per customer are now seeing extra growth at no extra cost to Tele2. Also from 1 January 2002 interconnect tariffs were reduced. Tele2 Italy is still the fastest growing business and there has been a substantial improvement in profitability in quarter one and it is now consolidating its position as Italy's second leading alternative fixed telephony operator.

Something that's puzzled me for years:
Why Are They All So Angry?
It's the defining characteristic of today's progressive left: Anger. And it's not just the rioters like Antifa, or the unspeakably rude people who confront administration figures in restaurants and gratuitously yell at them. Take a look at any of the new icons of the Democratic Party when they are speaking — for example Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or Ilhan Omar — and you see them seething with barely controllable anger, if not outright fury. Same with essentially every left-wing commenter on CNN or MSNBC.
And I'm just getting to the Democratic presidential candidates. Bernie Sanders. Is there anybody angrier? Always, and about everything. For that matter, all the contenders who have broken out of the less-than-1% category (and most of those who haven't) are putting on a show of trying to out-angry all the others. Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris. Anger must be what sells these days to the categories of voters they are pursuing.
But how about Joe Biden, you say? Certainly he is not as angry as these others. You must have missed Biden's July 5 interview with Chris Cuomo of CNN. Having just been outmaneuvered by Kamala Harris at the first Democratic debate, Biden decided that it was time to show that he can do anger with the best of them. According to that New York Post report of the interview, "throughout it all, Biden was angry." It reached the boiling point when Cuomo raised the issue of Russian election interference, drawing this outraged response from Biden:
"You think that would happen on my watch, on Barack's watch? You can't answer that, but I promise you it wouldn't have. And it didn't."
Sure, Joe.
My observation is that, at least for those of the progressive mindset, the less they have to be angry about, the angrier they become. You can't look at the economic history of the United States over the course of my lifetime without seeing tremendous improvements on essentially every measure. Here are some statistics that I can easily find, using the mid-60s (when I was in high school) as a baseline:
Those are just a few things that you can find in easily-available statistics. Let me mention a few more things that are obvious from personal observation: the appearance of computers and smart phones at prices that just about anyone can afford (today the government passes out free smart phones to the poor - not counted in the measure of "poverty" of course); the tremendous increase in the availability of fresh food (in the 60s we thought that frozen vegetables were a great innovation); the huge decline in the cost of travel, particularly air travel; the decline in the relative cost of clothing; the universal availability of air conditioning (we never had it when I was growing up); the ability to find any product or service quickly on the internet; and so forth through many, many other examples.
You would think that anyone alive today, and having the privilege of living in the United States, would be filled with amazement and gratefulness. And many are. But not the progressive left. Over there, they somehow find an endless supply of smaller and smaller and less and less significant grievances to be furious about. The more privileged they are, the angrier they are. Take the student body of an Ivy League university. That's about as privileged a group as you can find anywhere in the world. And yet those people are furious beyond belief. Somebody has more money than I do! I feel "unsafe"! My culture is being "appropriated"! The "corporations" are "ripping us off"! The distribution of income is less than perfectly fair and just!
My favorite thing to be really, really angry about is the failure to upend the economy to "solve" climate change. Over at RealClearPolitics, in a given list of links, they tend to pair two articles on related subjects. This afternoon, they paired my recent post "The Greatest Scientific Fraud Of All Time — Part XXIII" with one from Mother Jones titled "It's the End of the World As They Know It." This is the tale of some "scientists" who have become completely distraught and furious about the failure of the world to intentionally impoverish the people and end capitalism as the proposed "solution" to the barely-noticeable (and probably not even real) world temperature increases of the past century or so. The principal subject of the article is a climate researcher named Kim Cobb. Here is her reaction to the election of President Trump:
Cobb entered what she now calls "an acute mental health crisis." Most mornings, she could not get out of bed, despite having four children to tend to. She would sob spontaneously. She obsessed about the notion that the US government would take no action to address climate change and confront its consequences. "I could not see a way forward," she recalls. "My most resounding thought was, how could my country do this? I had to face the fact that there was a veritable tidal wave of people who don't care about climate change and who put personal interest above the body of scientific information that I had contributed to." Her depression persisted for weeks.
I guess Ms. Cobb will be voting for one of those really, really angry Democratic candidates in the primaries. The chance that any such candidate, even if elected, will have any measurable effect on the "climate" is zero. But maybe Ms. Cobb will get some kind of perverse satisfaction out of seeing lots of already poor and maybe middle class people around the world further impoverished to solve her imaginary climate "crisis." Of course, she gets to keep her government grants for doing climate research with a pre-determined conclusion and using it to try to stampede the people into giving up their freedom and prosperity.

Joules has to be one of the most quintessentially British brands we have in stock at Country Clothing By Mail.
Starting up in 1989 the brand has pretty rapidly gone from strength to strength, which is in no small part down to the quality of their clothing. The Hare logo was introduced back in 2006 and it now feels like a fair representation of Joules, considering it is the fastest British land animal. We stock a whole load of different products including women's wellies and scarves to Joules tops, jackets, skirts, cardigans and jumpers. We even stock some mens lines including shirts, polo tops, hoodies and boxer shorts.

Marianne and Juliane (1981)
Directed by Margarethe von TrottaGenres - Drama | Sub-Genres - Political Drama, Film a Clef, Feminist Film | Run Time - 120 min. | Countries - United States |
Share on
Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Also known as Die Bleierne Zeit (The German Sisters), Marianne and Julienne is an extension of themes explored by director Margarethe von Trotta in her earlier Sisters, or the Balance of Happiness. Once more, the principal characters are two well-bred sisters, outwardly polar opposites of one another, but birds of a feather in many ways. Marianne (Barbara Sukowa) is a radical terrorist, while Juliane (Jutta Lampe) edits a mainstream feminist magazine. The film explores how the same ideological words can be harnessed for both order and chaos, depending on how far an activist is willing to go. Von Trotta based her screenplay for Marianne and Juliane on the real-life Enslein Sisters.

City schools earn more accolades
For the past several weeks, a variety of accountability data, both district and school-based, has been released from the Tennessee Department of Education regarding student results on the annual TN Ready assessment. There are two main areas of accountability – achievement and student growth. Achievement is the percentage of students who score on track or mastered in terms of meeting standards. Student growth (TVAAS or Value-Added) is a measurement of much a student grew academically in the course of one year.
Districts and schools are rated on a score of 1-5, with 5 showing "statistical significance" that students made more than a year's growth. Clinton City Schools received a district composite score of a 5 this year, which is the highest ranking possible. This composite score takes all subjects and combines them into one overall score. Individual schools also received a composite score. Clinton Elementary and South Clinton Elementary received a composite score of 5, and North Clinton Elementary received a composite score of 3. A level three means that a year's growth was met. Director Kelly Johnson stated, "We are very proud of our student growth scores based on 2018 TN Ready data.
The composite score of a level 5 is proof that teachers differentiate instruction to meet the varying levels of our students. Many of our students come through the classroom doors with standards already mastered so it is our obligation to take each student where they are and grow them academically at least one year. Parents, teachers, administrators, students, and community members have all had their hand in achieving this ranking."
In terms of achievement, Clinton City Schools also performed well this year. Out of 144 districts, the 6th grade cohort was ranked 3rd in the state in Math and 2nd in the state in English/Language Arts. Our 3-5th grade cohorts are in the top 15-percent of districts across the state. The "Tradition of Excellence" at Clinton City Schools continues by holding high expectations with an abundance of support.

UK Championship Last 32
Monday and Tuesday see the next round of the UK Championship completed as the sports hall, or 'graveyard' as Steve Davis prefers to call it closes it's rusty iron gates for another year and the tournament focuses solely on the four table main arena set up at The Barbican.
There have already been a number of talking points both off and on the table and one thing that has impressed me this year is how much better the Eurosport coverage is than the BBC, at least up to now. The addition of Colin, Ronnie and Jimmy in the studio and Fouldsy doing backstage natters is making a big difference.
The three geezers in the studio are already beginning to look like they're on the start of a week long bender and you just know that sooner or later some inappropriate lads 'banter' is going to kick in resulting in one of them, probably Ronnie, getting chucked out. He's not mincing his words when it comes to the other players and his clear disdain for the likes of Mark Selby is there for all to see. He's also not the most patient when he hears them moaning about the tables, instead just telling them to adapt and get on with it like him and John Higgins do, I think there will be a few watching who concur with that as the constant public outcries are beginning to become a little bit tiresome now.
The BBC is currently miles behind in terms of the quality of coverage, despite their informal approach in the players lounge, where they seem intent on nabbing any player with a kid to come and have a natter. Marco's little girl stole the show and melted a few hearts and they also had Joe Perry on, who looked very happy to be there with his daughter before his match later in the evening against Robbie Williams.
What happened in between the interview with a smiling, doting daddy and the start of the match can only be speculated upon. But the smiles were long gone by the time The Gentleman entered the arena and what followed was what can only be described as the grumpiest display of snooker we've seen in a very long while.
Joe huffed and puffed his way around the table, mouthing expletives at the oblivious Robbie, who took his time and admitted later that he knew Joe got wound up at slow play so he used it to his advantage to steal the show. OK, by the end several of the audience had committed suicide and half the watching public had reached for the lighter and silver spoon, but Robbie didn't care a jot as he was through to face Matt Selt, who is of course known for his calm and measured responses to negative stimuli. I can't see there being any further issues from him if Robbie decides to adopt a sloth-like demeanour again today.
The other main burning issue concerns Barry Hearn and a shithouse. I'm not suggesting for one second that our esteemed dictator should be labelled as such but he does seem to be on a mission at the moment to stop the potters from answering the call of nature during tournament play. He seems to be suggesting that too many of them are quite literally taking the piss and holding up play unnecessarily to visit the porcelain trombone and he wants to put a stop to it.
So he's decided to limit toilet breaks henceforth to 2 for a best of 7 (a shit and a piss) and 3 for a best of nine (a shit and 2 pisses) with the instructions for longer matches yet to be clarified. There are a few players, the ones with weaker bladders, who are taking great offence at this and Mark King has even suggested that he might end up wearing a nappy to complete his adultbaby look. This all comes after a match earlier in the week when a Chinese player who was involved in a match that had been flagged up for suspicious betting patterns disappeared 6 times during said match to ermm 'go to the toilet'. The fact that the huge gamble had been rumbled and that it ended up not landing is I'm sure just a coincidence, he didn't go anywhere near his mobile phone I'm sure. So in short, if you exceed your shit or piss quota during a match you can expect to receive a hefty fine. This leaves the list of things that players can't get fined for these days looking pretty empty, unlike their swollen bladders.
So we move on to the Last 32, there have been a few upsets already but most of the main players are still involved. I have highlighted Monday's live streamed matches in bold with Bingham v Ebdon and Carter v Higgins kicking things off on a mouthwatering Monday afternoon, Holt and Swail tonight might also provide some drama and I'd wager we see a decider in that one. Bettingwise, it continues to be a bit hit and miss but I do still have a lot of faith in the outright selections, so let's not lose too much heart just yet.
Monday 1pm
Stuart Bingham v Peter Ebdon
Jamie Burnett v Li Hang
Ali Carter v John Higgins
Robbie Williams v Matt Selt
Monday 7pm
David Grace v Jack Lisowski
Michael Holt v Joe Swail
Robin Hull v Luca Brecel
Jamie Jones v Mark Selby
Tuesday 1pm
Martin Gould v Mark Allen
Tom Ford v Kyren Wilson
Ben Woollaston v Shaun Murphy
Stephen Maguire v Dark Mavis
Tuesday 7pm
Judd Trump v Liang Wenbo
David Gilbert v Marco Fu
Neil Robertson v Thepchaiya Un-Nooh
Dechawat Poomjaeng v Mark Joyce
Recommended Bets: 2 point acca pays just on 15/2 on Burnett, Lisowski, Maguire and Joyce. 2 points on Peter Ebdon at 9/4. 2 points on Joe Swail at 15/8. 2 points on Dave Gilbert at 13/8. 2 point treble on Ebdon (+2.5), Swail (+1.5) and Gilbert (+1.5) pays over 9/2.

Does 'One Tree Hill' Hold Up?
When I was younger, I somehow missed the cultural phenomenon that is One Tree Hill . Most of my friends started watching this iconic masterpiece as it originally aired, through the filter of youth. While they were hanging with the Tree Hill Ravens in small town North Carolina, I was probably busy obsessing over Clark Kent in Smallville, Kansas. Fast forward to 2015 and I was tired of the constant One Tree Hill references my friends threw around. They got wide-eyed and dreamy when they talked about Nathan and Lucas Scott. They smiled broadly when they spoke of Brooke and Haley's friendship, reveling in their nostalgia that I could not relate to. I basically knew nothing about OTH except that it was filmed in North Carolina and that my roommate was an extra in a few episodes. Thassit.
Eventually, I was suffering severely enough from pop culture FOMO that I decided to give OTH a whirl. Thanks to Netflix, I was able to start finally meet the Tree Hill gang one fateful day during my senior year of college. I had no idea what I was getting into but I learned a lot of along the way.
To borrow from Saturday Night Live's Stefon, this show has everything: a high school marriage, a stolen school bus filled with beer and an evil father who rivals Joffrey in terms of audience hatred. And while I loved every second of it, I know there are a lot of things I picked up on now that I wouldn't have as a 16-year-old with all my years of (relative) wisdom. At this point, I've already made my way through high school and graduated college. I've gone through some boyfriends, started friendships and ended some. I feel like I am better equipped to understand what the residents of Tree Hill went through and now I can watch from a whole different perspective.
And here's what the teen drama looked like in my wise(r) eyes:
1. Where Are The Parents? And Why Are They Always MIA?
Peyton's dad is always on the high seas doing whatever he does; Brooke's parents are rich but mysterious; and Haley's parents seem awesome, but get little to no screen time. And then there is Dan, who is basically always around, but is a monster. Then there's Karen, who is charged with keeping an eye on all of the teens in Tree Hill. No wonder there is so much debauchery going on. When I was in high school, I would have thought this is just how upperclassmen acted. I don't know about everyone else, but I had a house with parents that were always around, and a pretty strict curfew.
2. Dan Scott Is The Most Villainous Character In TV History
It may be a bold statement considering the plethora of villains on television, but I am going there. In my youth I surely would have seen Dan as a villain, but now I just don't understand how nobody thought to get a restraining order against him. How has such a man survived in this world without someone trying to kill him?
Oh, wait.
3. Deb & Karen Are #FriendshipGoals
I am sure as a teen my friendship goals would have aligned myself more with Haley/Brooke/Peyton, but now I am able to truly appreciate how hard it must have been for these two to put their differences behind them and become their own little squad. These two ladies support each other through some of the most dramatic plots of the show (having the same baby daddy! attempted murder!) and the showrunners could have taken the easy way out and pitted these two against each other for endless dramatic fights. Instead we get to enjoy the friendship between two strong women. I'm just glad that I was able to really appreciate that by the time I got to One Tree Hill.
4. Sorry, Lucas — No High School Boy Loves Literature That Much
The same goes for college boys. Even as an English major, I did not run into too many guys that were super into quoting dead authors. Or any authors for that matter. In my experience, guys are much more into quoting Entourage or How I Met Your Mother. Which are both great, but those shows aren't exactly Shakespeare.
5. Nathan & Haley Are Actually Perfect
On this point, my teen and current self would be in agreement. While it is 100 percent insane that these two got married in high school and had a baby before they even graduated, I can't help but love them. So yeah, in my teens I would have been obsessed with Nathan Scott. And not much has changed. Nathan is that senior guy who my high school freshman self would have loved to tutor. And now, I see Nathan as the type of guy who would encourage his lady in her creative pursuits, the way he encouraged Haley to continue working on her music. And seeing him with his kids in later seasons only helps adult me appreciate him even more.
6. Oh Hey, Feminism!
While I have always inherently believed in gender equality, it was only through my time in college that I came to understand what feminism is and claimed it for myself. I don't know if I truly would have been able to appreciate the gender-related topics that One Tree Hill explores through Anna's story line. Aside from being one of the few bisexual characters on TV at the time (and one of the only non-straight characters on the show) Anna refuses to be defined by any one label, whether it be her sexuality or her race. When she claims her bisexuality in the video for time capsule it is one of the series' most powerful moments, especially because the rumors of Anna's sexuality caused her family to have to move in the past.
Then during a sleepover with Brooke, Peyton and Haley, Anna attacks the double standard between men and women while discussing Brooke's friends-with-benefits relationship with Felix, Anna's brother. Out of all the shows that I did watch when I was younger, I don't ever remember hearing a monologue like Anna's that calls attention to double standards and the ownership that society feels over women's bodies.
In the end, I'm glad that I fell victim to my FOMO and decided to give One Tree Hill a shot. I thought it would just be another WB show with pretty people and a lot of drama. And while it is both of those things, the show has a lot of heart and I truly came to care about these characters. The lessons are timeless, whether you are 15 or 25. And now I can be one of those people that talks about One Tree Hill so much that other people feel the need to watch. All I can hope is that the cycle will go on and on and on.
