The next interesting game which we found of the ice hockey's program is going to be from
The USA. NHL action between Chicago Blackhawks and San Jose Sharks. The game will be held in United Center, Chicago, USA.
The home team coming into this game after an amazing win against the team of NY Islanders as the beat them with a 1:3 away from home, while the Sharks are coming into this game after an astonishing battle against the team of Calgary Flames. And they broke them with a 5:1 in the regular time at home. Against each other, both sides have played 19 competitive games as the Chicago Blackhawks lead with an 11-8.
We are taking the Sharks in this one. They are on a roll, winning seven successive wins, moreover, San Jose Sharks are filling the net, averaging goals are around 4.8 goals in that seven games. They will be up against Chicago Blackhawks that has allowed at least 5 goals in five out of their last 6 games. Meanwhile, the visitors continue to receive excellent goaltending and defence, and Chicago Blackhawks is having trouble scoring goals with any regularity.

NHL action between Vegas Golden Knights and Chicago Blackhawks. Both teams will take a place in T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, USA. The Golden Knights coming into the game after a disappointing loss against Philadelphia Flyers 1:4 in the ordinary time, while Chicago Blackhawks come in this game after 6 consecutive losses in a row. And they will try to do everything to take a victory tonight, but this can happen extremely and difficult.
Both sides are dealing with significant goaltender issues, and that is led to an expected increase in goals allowed. Since the hosts are massive favourites against a struggling Chicago Blackhawks, the better option is to pick the over. The home side lost 3 of their last 5 clashes and the defence has allowed quite a bit of goal - 20 of them in that stretch. Some of that is understandable.
Vegas Golden Knights just finished a six-game away from home, but the latest was a 4:1 loss to Philadelphia at home. Vegas opened up scoring with a goal at the 11-22 mark. Our recommendation is to play this game over 5.5 Goals in regular time or over 1.5 goals in the first period.

Yesterday, Edmonton Oilers showed an impressive performance against their rivals of Tampa. Oilers have scored two goals in each period. Tampa Bay Lightning have struggled and they didn't show any good performance on the edge. The next ice hockey event which our experts choose to predict and give their exclusive recommendation is coming from NHL between Chicago Blackhawks and Calgary Flames.
Both sides will take a place in United Center, Chicago, USA. In the previous game, both sides showed an impressive performance as they reached overtime and after all the team of Chicago took a win with an astonishing outcome 3:4. Tonight we expect to see the same confident and effective hockey on the edge. Calgary Flames will try to find a revenge but this can happen extremely and difficulty.

Finally, we stopped our bad losing series in KHL and NHL. NHL action between Chicago Blackhawks and Tampa Bay Lightning. Both sides will take a place in United Center at Chicago city. The visitors have the most points in the league 65, but they are losing it as the Vegas Golden Knights have 66 so far this season.
The away team has really struggled of late as they have lost three games in a row and five of their last seven and it has been their play in the crease which has let them down of late. The team of Chicago Blackhawks had played well at home and those are the kind of teams that they can't afford to lose at home if they hope to make a push for a playoff spot.
The hosts have been solid on offence at home as they have averaged 3.16 gpg at the United Center at moment and will be facing a struggling Andrei Vasilevskiy, who has allowed 23 goals in his last five encounters. We will be looking to take the Over in this contest. Our recommendation is to play in 1st period, there will have over 1.5 goals and if Andrei Vasilevskiy involves for the host, he will be able to score at least one washer in the rival net.

After a disappointing loss yesterday. Tampa Bay Lightning lost at home with an astonishing results 1:5 in the regular time. Meanwhile, we continue to follow the most famous ice hockey competition on the world NHL. The next game which we have prepared is between Chicago Blackhawks and Winnipeg Jets.
The visitors have been just the opposite as they have now won three games in a row and six of their last seven encounters. This is a team that has been getting a very good playing in the edge and their offence has now become one of the best in the league. They are a very tough team to beat at the moment but will face a tough test tonight against the team of Chicago.
This game is a huge for the Blackhawks team as they look to stay in the Western Conference playoff race and we look for them to come up with the effort needed to take down the division-leading Jets. After all, we are backing to see an effective 1st period in the game that's we our tip will cover the goal market in the first period of this amazing contest.

Another good winning tip yesterday, as Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning did an astonishing result. The bolts beat their opponents of Canada 0:2 in the ordinary time. Moreover, however, the next event which can finish under 5.5 goals is coming again from NHL between New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks.
Both sides will take a place in Madison Square Garden at New York City. Chicago Blackhawks come in off a 4:3 OT loss to the Calgary Flames away from home, while the Rangers are off a 3:2 OT win over the Buffalo Sabres in the Winter Classic. Goalie Probables: the visitors will send out Jeff Glass in this one and he will be opposed by Henrik Lundqvist. Under 5.5 goals it looks a very good pick for betting.

Finally, we stroke our bad losing series in NHL and the next game which we liked to predict and make an analyse is coming again from NHL between the teams of Washington Capitals and Chicago Blackhawks. Both clubs will take a place in Capital One Arena at Washington, D.C., USA.
They come in of a 3:1 home loss to the Los Angeles Kings and have now lost their last four games in a row and have scored a total of just eight goals over that stretch, after putting up 26 goals in their previous 6 encounters. The Cap is playing very well at the moment as they have won 5 of their last 6 clashes after taking down the San Jose Sharks at home by a score of 4:1 a few days ago. The hosts have really been getting it done in the crease of late as they have now allowed just 14 total goals in their last 6 meetings.
Chicago Blackhawks is struggling right now and have been forced to use Anton Forsberg in the crease as Corey Crawford is out. We are backing under 5.5 goals in the regular time or just a tiny win.

Tampa Bay Lightning welcome the team of Chicago Blackhawks in a very tough game tonight. Both teams will take a place in Amalie Arena at Tampa, USA. The hosts will be trying to get back on the winning track when they host the Chicago Blackhawks at Amalie Arena tonight. Tampa Bay had won five meetings in a row before falling to the Islanders in the previous Saturday. Chicago Blackhawks are coming off consecutive victories over the Rangers and Penguins.
Obviously, the home the has a huge ambition to lift the Stanley Cup. Against each other, both clubs have played 18 competitive games and this is going to be another tough game between them. Chicago Blackhawks forward Brandon Saad recorded 6 goals in the first 6 games of the season but has managed only one in the last 14 game away from home. The visitors are 3-9 in its last 12 against winning opponents, 1-5 in its last 6 on the road against opponents with a home winning percentages over .600.
The Lightning is 35-16 in their last 51 overall. Don't be surprised if those trends continue. We are backing to the home win in the regular time.

If any of you are around Belfast/Queen's University on Friday feel free to drop in to this!
I am eventually getting my mind around the possibility of attempting to begin to consider blogging a bit more and revitalising this old site with some new posts and reflections. At last. And it may not actually happen. Since I last wrote here my partner Fiona and I have had this alien creature crash-land into our lives, with devastating effects on sleep and productivity. It is now over a year old and still alive. We call it Hazel Rose (Hazel Rose Heaney=HRH, does nominative determinism work for initials?).
I am currently working on a load of stuff: theorizing affect and emotion from a process perspective, emotions and party politics, a related, ongoing project on the 'emotional state' that I hope to get some additional funding toward, and a book, based on a revised version of my PhD, under contract with Routledge, and more. I may write about aspects of these projects here in the future.
Since coming to QUB I have been teaching a lot too, mostly social theory at UG and PG levels, and a bit of political sociology, sociology of emotions, narrative methods, and a few other odds and ends. I have been thinking about this — teaching theory, and 'theory anxiety' — a bit too, especially in relation to (my now completed) PGCHET assignments (which should work towards my FHEA qualification). I may add some thoughts here about all that also. This is still primarily a declaration of intent and an attempt to embarrass myself into blogging more, but I did write a blog on teaching and doing theory for Mark Murphy's excellent site socialtheoryapplied last summer, which I intended to link to here, but didn't. Here is that link now.
I'll be in touch. I hope.
In this talk (from a few years ago, 2011 I think), sociologist Ulrich Beck outlines and updates his theory of reflexive modernization and the 'risk society'. He suggests that, to the extent that risk is experienced as omnipresent in the current age, there are only three possible reactions: denial, apathy or transformation. The first, he says, 'is largely inscribed in modern culture, the second resembles post-modern nihilism, the third is the "cosmopolitan moment" of world risk society'.
In the talk that follows he structures his argument around three key points. In the first he outlines the distinctive, new features of this world risk society. There is a distinction between risk and catastrophe – they are not the same things. Risk is about the anticipation of catastrophe. This is why, despite the fact that Europe and 'The West' are relatively safe, globally speaking, or perhaps even 'objectively' so, it is the global anticipation of catastrophe (propagated via symbolic forms in the mass media etc) that is fundamental to the shaping of contemporary societies. These global perceptions of risk have three features: de-localization ( in spatial, temporal and social terms), incalculableness, and non-compensatibility.
His second key point stresses the fundamentally global character of these process, over and against the nation-state as a political level of analysis, and transformative action. Against this methodological nationalism he offers a defence of his cosmopolitan vision for the social sciences, outlined in more detail in his Power and the Global Age (2005). His final point offers some consequences of his position, in general, and a (sympathetic) critique of alternative theoretical conceptions of risk, most notably those of Mary Douglas and Michel Foucault. What is needed is a paradigm shift in the social sciences – the emergence of a cosmopolitan social science – a 'cosmopolitan turn'.
This defence of cosmopolitanism – his cosmopolitical realpolitik – is, of course, open to many criticisms and questions, as are his wider arguments about risk, decision-making etc. There are some questions/discussion after 26 mins or so.

In this excellent talk, recorded in 2013, Kari Norgaard offers a wonderful and concise overview of her well known book on the sociology of climate change Living in Denial: Climate Change, Emotions, and Everyday Life (2011). What is most interesting, from my perspective, is the way that she deploys conceptions of both emotion (specifically: guilt, fear of the future, and helplessness) with questions of power and power relations (especially Lukes' notion of 3D power) in her analysis to explain how knowledge of climate change is negotiated, and denied, in everyday life. Drawing on ethnographic data from fieldwork in Norway, Norgaard shows how this power-emotion nexus is fundamentally social, and constitutive of the social organization of climate denial. Both the book and this short (36m) lecture are well work checking out.
Via Youtube:
In her lecture, professor Kari Norgaard uses interviews and ethnographic data from a community in western Norway during the unusually warm winter of 2000-2001 to describe how knowledge of climate change is experienced in everyday life. Stories in local and national newspapers linked the warm winter explicitly to global warming. Yet residents did not write letters to the editor, pressure politicians, or cut down on the use of fossil fuels. Norgaard describes the disturbing emotions of guilt, helplessness and fear of the future that arose when people were confronted with the idea of climate change — and then builds a model of socially organized denial to describe how people normalized these disturbing emotions through the deployment of conversation norms and discourses that served as "tools of social order." Using literature from sociology of emotions, environmental sociology and sociology of culture, she describes "the social organization of climate denial" through multiple levels, from emotions to cultural norms to political economy.
The lectures shared here were given on October 5th 2013 in the following order:
Guðni Elísson: "Earth101"
Stefan Rahmstorf: "The Climate Crisis"
Michael Mann: "The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars"
Kari Norgaard: "Living in Denial: Climate Change, Emotions and Everyday Life"
Peter Sinclair: "Communicating Climate Science in the Disinformation Era"
Recorded by Phil Coates and edited by Ryan Chapman.
Distinguished Irish philosopher Prof. Philip Pettit of Princeton University will give a public lecture on 'A Brief History of Liberty — and its Lessons' in the Aula Maxima, NUI Galway at 4pm on Tuesday, 17th June 2014. This talk is being presented as part of the President of Ireland's 'Ethics Initiative', and organised by the Power, Conflict & Ideologies Research Cluster of the School of Political Science & Sociology. The President of Ireland, His Excellency Michael D. Higgins, will be in attendance at the lecture. All are welcome and the event is free, but we would appreciate if you could register your attendance here.
Philip Pettit, originally from Ballygar Co. Galway, is L.S. Rockefeller University Professor of Politics and Human Values at Princeton University, where he teaches philosophy and political theory. He is particularly renowned for his revival and development of republicanism within political philosophy, and for his work on group agency. Among his books are The Common Mind (1996); Republicanism (1997); The Economy of Esteem (2004), with G. Brennan; A Political Philosophy in Public Life: Civic Republicanism in Zapatero's Spain, with J.L. Marti (2010); and Group Agency (2011), with C. List. Professor Pettit is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and of academies in his two countries of citizenship: Ireland and Australia. His recent book On the People's Terms (2012) is published with Cambridge University Press. It is based on the 2009 Albertus Magnus Lectures in Cologne, and the 2010 Seeley lectures in Cambridge. Also forthcoming is a book with W.W.Norton for a general audience, entitled Just Freedom: A Moral Compass for a Complex World. He is giving the Tanner Lectures on Human Values at Berkeley in 2014-15.
While in Ireland, Prof. Pettit will also be involved in a number of workshops, based on his work, in UCD, and will give the opening keynote address, on the infrastructure of democracy, to the third annual Garrett Fitzgerald Summer School in Dublin later in June.
Abstract for the lecture is below the fold.

In recent news Amazon's Prime Air has successfully completed its first drone delivery, and we get to see the actual flight footage … no simulation!
For a number of years we have known of the intentions for companies to experiment with the use of drones for the delivery of parcels. Back in 2015 we saw a video released by Amazon which explained how the process would work, for Amazon Prime Air, noting we could eventual see the delivery of individual packages within 30 minutes of ordering. Since, Amazon has begun its trials for Prime Air's drone delivery service. Currently trials are being run nearby to Amazon's drone testing facility near Cambridge.
Amazon released official footage of the first ever successful drone delivery in the middle of December 2016. The video (below) demonstrates a customer who ordered an Amazon TV streaming stick and a bag of popcorn to their own garden. It is reported that the delivery, with no human pilot involved, delivered the package to the customer in 13 minutes from the click for delivery (Bezos, 2016).
(Amazon, 2016)
Currently legislation from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) states that drones cannot be operated within 50 metres of a vessel, vehicle, building or a person. Furthermore, a drone should not be flown "within 150 metres of a congested area" or "open-air assembly", and should remain in line of sight of the pilot (CAA, 2016, p.49). This conventionally would make it a little difficult when delivering packages and in situations of surveillance. Since implementation of the legislation, some partnerships have been formed to provide permission for example Amazon to be able to fly a drone beyond the line of sight.
Although current testing shows individual packet deliveries … could we start to see a full scale air warehouse delivery service? Well, according to The Guardian (2016) and publicly available US patent documents (United States Patent, 2016) Amazon have in fact filed for a patent in the United States for "airborne fulfilment centres" which could be used to store and quickly deliver items using drone dispatch (demonstrated in the figure below).
(Image Source: United States Patent, 2016)
Is this the future for delivery of our shopping purchases? Although drones could prove to be greener and cheaper logistically … the question is: what can be said for security and what are the dangers behind such a service?
Such services, no doubt, have the wow factor when it comes to technological advancements, but they also have the oh no! factor. Drones, like any technology, are likely to be susceptible to misuse and even cyber attacks. Safety measures are of course put in place, however, as technology advances, so do the crimes, techniques and people that adopt to use them; there is likely no concrete defence mechanism.
There are a number of things to consider in the use of drones. A drone is able to collect a range of data over a wide area using sensors and cameras. For example, to deliver a package in the above video, the drone identifies a particular spot placed in the garden where delivery of the package can take place. But, how much information is collected in this scenario? The video shows us that a lot of data can be collected from the delivery route, the property and potentially the recipient. Are drones a privacy nightmare?
Moreover, drones are becoming a tool for surveillance, with intrusive system development providing more potential advantages than surveillance cameras. However, such technologies also have a number of positives to consider. Legislation from the CAA is implemented to protect people from some of the dangers associated with drone technologies, however, with partnerships made for surveillance, security and advancements in technologies … how can these protective measures still be adhered to?
What do you think, are drones a security nightmare or a positive in our developing climate?

During the course of our lives, it is common for us to indulge in many indiscretions when it comes to our teeth. We tend to use our teeth as tools to open plastic covers, biting nails, chewing on pens and pencils, and of course trying to show bravado by opening a can of soda or beer with teeth. The logical ending for all these actions would inevitably be a visit to a nearby dental clinic to get dental crowns placed on chipped teeth.
It is very common for people to have chipped, cracked, and fractured teeth. In fact, it is one of the most common complaints in a dental clinic. Our teeth are surprisingly strong, but we tend to overlook the fact that it is bone and is susceptible to break. We do a lot of things can damage our teeth.
According to many dental hospitals, people end up chipping their teeth as:
- They bite down hard foods
- Have cavities in their teeth
- Do not follow proper dental care
- They grind their teeth excessively (bruxism)
- Have broken cusps
- Wear and tear of teeth
- Conditions like cracked tooth syndrome
In case there is a small chip that on the tooth, dental specialists may simply polish and smooth the tooth without going for further treatment. However, if the chip is of a considerable size with damage to the enamel or exposure of the tooth nerve, further treatment with root canal therapy and the placement of a dental crown is recommended. These treatments need a minimum of two visits to the dental clinic.
Dental crowns are a great option to protect weak teeth, to cover dental implants, and to give protection to broken teeth. There are a variety of dental crowns and the type needed is decided by dental doctors depending upon the nature of restoration needed. It is a procedure that is done in a dental clinic.
What are dental crowns?
Dental crowns are commonly termed as dental caps. Dental caps are fixed prosthesis placed over the existing tooth or an abutment of an implant to replace the size, shape, and strength of the tooth.
It mainly helps in restoring the functional ability of the tooth, and improving aesthetics in case of the front teeth. When the tooth is fractured and can no longer be restored with traditional cements, dental caps or crowns help in restoring the fractured tooth. Your dentist will advise you full coverage dental caps only when all other conservative treatments are not viable.
Why are dental crowns needed?
Dental crowns are an effective dental treatment when it comes to restoration of broken teeth. They support teeth that have decayed significantly or have worn off due to overuse. There are other dental problems that are solved by the placement of dental crowns. These include:
- Fractured/chipped/cracked tooth: When your tooth is broken or fractured usually a dental crown is advised.
- Dental cavity: When there is a big cavity in your tooth and there is no tooth left to support the large filling
- Covering a dental implant: When you had an implant placed in your mouth to cover the abutment
- For bridge treatment: When you are undergoing bridge treatment
- Improving the appearance of teeth: When you are undergoing any cosmetic dental procedure
Sometimes, dental specialists advise dental caps for children who are at a high risk of caries (cavities), and those who have already undergone a pulpectomy treatment. Usually, in children stainless steel caps are placed.
What are the types of dental caps available?
There are various types of dental caps. Depending on the durability, there are temporary crowns and permanent crowns.
Temporary Crowns
Most of the temporary crowns are acrylic teeth. These are used in order to protect the tooth from shifting. They are used as a temporary restoration until a permanent crown is delivered from the lab.
Permanent Crowns
Permanent crowns can be made from all metal, stainless steel, all ceramic, and porcelain fused metal.
Stainless steel dental crowns
These crowns are prefabricated and are used for children's teeth. These crowns cover the entire tooth and prevent further decay. It is common for many people to have apprehensions of crowned milk teeth not allowing permanent teeth to erupt. Against popular belief, they will naturally come out with the fixed milk tooth when the permanent tooth is making its room. These crowns are used for children's teeth because they don't require multiple visits to the dental hospital, and are cost effective when compared to custom made crowns.
All Metal crowns
These crowns are usually made with cobalt-chromium and nickel-chromium alloys. Previously gold alloys were used. As gold is an expensive metal, it was not in regular use when compared to other alloys. The strength of the crowns is such that they can withstand all the chewing and biting forces. It has the longest wear and tear. A major drawback of these crowns is their metallic color, which may not appeal to many people's tastes.
Porcelain fused metal crowns
These dental crowns can be color-matched to the natural teeth. These crowns are best advised for long bridges as metal is needed for the strength. They may be a good choice for both back and front tooth. Drawback of these dental crowns is that sometimes the porcelain chip offs exposing the metal inside. At times, the metal is visible as a dark line.
All ceramic crowns
These dental crowns provide better natural color match than any other crowns. They are highly recommended for patients who have certain allergic reactions to metals. They can be used for back or front teeth.
How many visits to the dental clinic for dental crown placement?
The procedure usually needs two visits to the dental clinic. The first visit would be for teeth preparation and taking measurements while the second visit is for fixing the permanent crown.
Dental Crown placement – First visit at dental clinic
During your first visit a thorough examination is done. At times, doctors may advise an x-ray to check the roots of the particular tooth and surrounding bone. If there is a deep dental decay, a root canal treatment is done first.
The dentist first anesthetizes the tooth for the comfort of the patient. Then he starts preparing the tooth. The amount of tooth removal depends on the type of crown chosen. If, a large portion of the tooth structure was lost due to decay then the dentist will place a post and eventually build up the tooth core. Then the impressions are made for both the arches. Proper shade match has to be done. Then the casts are sent to the lab. Now the dentist will make a temporary crown to cover and protect the prepared tooth till the placement of crown.
Dental Crown placement – Second visit at dental clinic
It is a short visit unlike the first visit. The temporary crown is removed from the tooth. The check for fit and color of the permanent crown is done. If everything is acceptable, then the permanent crown is permanently cemented to the tooth.
Durability of a dental crown
The life of the crown is normally from 5 to 15 years. The longevity of the dental cap depends on the precision fit of the cap to the supporting tooth structure. Other factors include oral hygiene practices, habits like grinding or clenching your teeth, chewing ice which also affects the longevity of the dental cap.
Capping the crown doesn't mean that the tooth it is protected from decay and gum disease for life. Good oral hygiene practices should be followed in order to prevent the gum infections around the tooth.
Cost of dental crowns
Experienced dentists will help you in choosing the suitable dental crowns for your teeth. Depending on your need and affordability, the dentist will deliver the crowns. The cost of dental crowns varies a lot based on the material chosen. Generally, crowns may range from 5k to 20k (Indian Rupees) per crown. Gold crowns are more expensive.
If you have any other queries regarding dental crowns, please feel free to post your queries in the comment section.

Manufacturing output in the UK climbed by 0.1 percent in September, which was slower than the 0.3 percent gain expected by economists. Even worse, August numbers were revised downward.
Industrial output plunged 1.7 percent in September, which was also worse than expected.
These numbers confirm the deteriorating manufacturing PMI number we got last week.
In October, the UK reported that GDP in Q3 grew 1.0%, the fastest pace in 5-years. This gave some people hope that the British economy was on the mend.
But that hope is quickly fading.
Nevertheless, markets are up across Europe.

Bushings appear to be good quality products, provided perfect fit on my freshly depowered rack. I can't speak on durability yet, they only have one trip to Mexico on them to test the new feel. I will have to check back after some track abuse. They came with an awesome decal, reminds me of Earnhardt's wrangler livery from the 80's.

Two very simple things: it holds your rack together nicely and it is a very cool blue color that you may be the only that will appreciate. It is easy to install, especially when you're de-powering and rebuilding a steering rack.

I feel overwhelmed now that N is home. He gets out of bed, sits in his recliner in the LR, and except for potty breaks, there he stays. Asking for water, snacks, pills, his Kindle (charge it first), and so on. Would you believe, the very first thing he did when he got home is turn his PC on and go to the bill pay for our bank and start firing money to the outstanding bills. I had already paid electricity bills, credit cards, water bill, all the critical ones, so there wasn't much remaining to do, no rush. Made me feel like a 10 year old with daddy checking my homework.
I wonder how this is all going to shake out. I'm not in great shape myself, and C is the one who bears the brunt of the tasks that are needed. It isn't fair to him, and I know he is approaching a melt down himself. I will need to intervene. N has a new gesture; if you tell him something he doesn't want to hear (like that the kitchen counter has split in a new place) he turns his attention to the TV and goes all blank in the face. I get up and leave the LR when he watches baseball(!!) or endless repeats of NCIS episodes. Neither which he did before the hospital stay. Brainwashing!!
Ah well, this too will pass, and it will most probably be far too soon. Then I will feel bad for being cranky. N is getting daily radiation therapy (not, thank gods, on weekends) imagine how ill he will feel when the chemo starts in another week. And it takes hours, and leaves you feeling like some squishy thing on the waterline. As my t-shirt says, cancer sucks.
Back to bed. Send positive energy to us, or pray for us if that is your custom. Peace.

On Saturday, January 27, 2018, we had nine veterans from Kansas who were involved in the "Battle Of The Bulge". We have hosted this event for several years now.
The Battle of the Bulge was from December 16, 1945 until January 25, 1945. It was the last major German offensive campaign on the Western Front during World War II.
You never get tired of listening to the veterans stories. They have experienced things you could never imagine. Some stories are really funny, but there are also so many sad stories. It is especially interesting to hear these stories from the veterans themselves.
As you can see by the pictures these veterans are getting up in the years. Most are in their 90′s and we have one who is turning 100 this year.
Our director, Barry Maples, gave each of the veterans a coin from the American Legion Riders.

This is my first time playing along with this weekly event, which I found over at Eden Hills. How about joining in the fun? Click here to learn more about it.
The prompts for this week are:
1. Starts with U
2. Week's Favorite
3. Kids
Starts with U:
"Unrelenting" is what the parent Carolina wrens have been since the babies hatched. They are fierce defenders of their nestlings, now fledglings. When the blue jays or blackbirds are around, the parents make a commotion in stereo, the daddy with one of his songs and the mama with her "you'd better get out of here!" warning call. They keep up this mega-decibel, more than audible, attack until the bigger birds leave.
Week's Favorite:
Other than our wren babies that are in the next prompt, this is my favorite photo taken this week.
What could be better for "kids" than our Carolina wren babies, who left the nest yesterday morning (two of them) and afternoon (one of them)?
This was fun and I hope to participate again next week. 🙂
Have a blessed weekend, y'all!

Watch Flowers Spring to Life
Posted on by Dr. Francis Collins
Spring has sprung! The famous Washington cherry blossoms have come and gone, and the tulips and azaleas are in full bloom. In this mesmerizing video, you'll get a glimpse of the early steps in how some spring flowers bloom.
Floating into view are baby flowers, their cells outlined (red), at the tip of the stem of the mustard plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Stem cells that contain the gene STM (green) huddle in the center of this fast-growing region of the plant stem—these stem cells will later make all of the flower parts.
As the video pans out, slightly older flowers come into view. These contain organs called sepals (red, bumpy outer regions) that will grow into leafy support structures for the flower's petals.
Movie credits go to Nathanaёl Prunet, an assistant professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, who shot this video while working in the NIH-supported lab of Elliot Meyerowitz at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena. Prunet used confocal microscopy to display the different ages and stages of the developing flowers, generating a 3D data set of images. He then used software to produce a bird's-eye view of those images and turned it into a cool movie. The video was one of the winners in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology's 2018 BioArt competition.
Beyond being cool, this video shows how a single gene, STM, plays a starring role in plant development. This gene acts like a molecular fountain of youth, keeping cells ever-young until it's time to grow up and commit to making flowers and other plant parts.
Like humans, most plants begin life as a fertilized cell that divides over and over—first into a multi-cell embryo and then into mature parts, or organs. Because of its ease of use and low cost, Arabidopsis is a favorite model for scientists to learn the basic principles driving tissue growth and regrowth for humans as well as the beautiful plants outside your window. Happy Spring!

Studying Color Vision in a Dish
Posted on by Dr. Francis Collins
Credit: Eldred et al., Science
Researchers can now grow miniature versions of the human retina—the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye—right in a lab dish. While most "retina-in-a-dish" research is focused on finding cures for potentially blinding diseases, these organoids are also providing new insights into color vision.
Our ability to view the world in all of its rich and varied colors starts with the retina's light-absorbing cone cells. In this image of a retinal organoid, you see cone cells (blue and green). Those labelled with blue produce a visual pigment that allows us to see the color blue, while those labelled green make visual pigments that let us see green or red. The cells that are labeled with red show the highly sensitive rod cells, which aren't involved in color vision, but are very important for detecting motion and seeing at night.
Modeling Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in a Dish
Posted on by Dr. Francis Collins
Researchers have learned in recent years how to grow miniature human hearts in a dish. These "organoids" beat like the real thing and have allowed researchers to model many key aspects of how the heart works. What's been really tough to model in a dish is how stresses on hearts that are genetically abnormal, such as in inherited familial cardiomyopathies, put people at greater risk for cardiac problems.
Enter the lab-grown human cardiac tissue pictured above. This healthy tissue comprised of the heart's muscle cells, or cardiomyocytes (green, nuclei in red), was derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. These cells are derived from adult skin or blood cells that are genetically reprogrammed to have the potential to develop into many different types of cells, including cardiomyocytes.
Study Shows Genes Unique to Humans Tied to Bigger Brains
Posted on by Dr. Francis Collins
In seeking the biological answer to the question of what it means to be human, the brain's cerebral cortex is a good place to start. This densely folded, outer layer of grey matter, which is vastly larger in Homo sapiens than in other primates, plays an essential role in human consciousness, language, and reasoning.
Now, an NIH-funded team has pinpointed a key set of genes—found only in humans—that may help explain why our species possesses such a large cerebral cortex. Experimental evidence shows these genes prolong the development of stem cells that generate neurons in the cerebral cortex, which in turn enables the human brain to produce more mature cortical neurons and, thus, build a bigger cerebral cortex than our fellow primates.
That sounds like a great advantage for humans! But there's a downside. Researchers found the same genomic changes that facilitated the expansion of the human cortex may also render our species more susceptible to certain rare neurodevelopmental disorders.

Sometimes you see it; sometimes you smell it. Sometimes you see and smell it. Sometimes you don't even notice it at all. But whether you notice it or not, there is exhaust coming from your vehicle, and it is contributing to air pollution.
Air pollution refers to the presence of foreign substances in the air that don't belong there, or excessive amounts of certain impurities that wouldn't otherwise harm us in moderation. When vehicles burn gasoline or diesel fuel, they emit pollutants. Gasoline fumes escape into the atmosphere even when we do something as simple as removing a gas cap and pumping gasoline into a fuel tank.
The days of a simple muffler, pipe, and manifold being all that is necessary to keep your engine running quietly and deliver exhaust away from the vehicle and into the atmosphere are long gone. Today's vehicle emission systems employ a complex system of parts, to not only keep your engine running quietly, but also to reduce the amount of harmful gases that enter the environment. This is the primary reason your vehicle has an emission system.
The emission system significantly reduces harmful gasses created by your vehicle. It works with the exhaust system to minimizes pollutants, and to keep your vehicle's engine operation quiet, efficient, and clean in various operating conditions. Computers, an array of sensors, computerized engine controls, fuel system components, and exhaust components all work together to control your vehicle's emission output (including the gasoline vapors that escape from the fuel tank). By law, your vehicle's emission system must be maintained and in proper operating condition. There are currently more than 1.2 billion vehicles in use around the world. That number is projected to be more than two billion by the year 2035. The United States alone has approximately 260 million vehicles in use for its population of 325 million, and that number is growing every day. So what pollutants are coming out of these vehicles?
There are four major pollutants generated from driving vehicles:
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) – This is a product of incomplete combustion. This odorless, colorless, and poisonous gas is formed by the combustion of gasoline when the carbon in fuel doesn't burn completely. If the air/fuel mixture does not have enough oxygen present during combustion, it will not burn completely
- Hydrocarbons (HC) – This is a toxic compound of hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are partially burned or unburned fuel. When combustion does not properly take place, such as when the engine has a misfire, large amounts of hydrocarbons are emitted from the combustion chamber.
- Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) – When fuel combusts, nitrogen and oxygen react with each other and form in the high temperature and pressure of the engine. In areas of high motor vehicle traffic, such as in large cities or along freeways, the amount of nitrogen oxides emitted into the atmosphere as air pollution can be significant.
- Particulate Matter (PM) – Particulate matter consists of fine particles, less than one-tenth the diameter of a human hair, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, mineral dust, organic matter, and elemental carbon also known as black carbon or soot. These particles give smog its murky color. PM poses a serious threat to human health, as these particles can penetrate deep into the lungs. Diesel exhaust is a major contributor to PM pollution.
Even though pollutants are being created, most modern vehicles have minimal exhaust odor and visibility. This is due in large part to the catalytic converter and precise computer-controlled air-fuel mixtures. However, some vehicles seem to have excessively smelly and visible exhaust fumes and pollute more than others. This can be caused by several issues including the following:
- Engine mechanical problems – If an engine is burning oil (worn piston rings, faulty valve stem seals or guides, positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system issues, or just plain worn out), you'll notice the vehicle has smelly exhaust fumes. You may also notice bluish/gray colored smoke coming from the tailpipe.
- Failing catalytic converter – Have you ever been driving along when suddenly you notice the smell of rotten eggs? If so, you're behind, or near, a vehicle with a failing or failed catalytic converter. Sulfur is found in gasoline and is turned into hydrogen sulfide in the combustion process. However, the catalytic converter changes it into sulfur dioxide, which has no odor at all. As the converter fails, it stops changing hydrogen sulfide into its odorless counterpart, and the result is a strong smell of rotten eggs from the exhaust.
- Coolant in exhaust – If your tailpipe is emitting a sweet smell and/or a substance that is sticky to touch, it may be engine coolant. Coolant can leak into the combustion chamber and may contaminate engine oil when gaskets fail, or when the engine overheats. White/gray exhaust smoke is another indication that coolant is burning in the combustion chamber.
- Poor engine performance – If your engine is not running optimally and the exhaust smells like fuel, it's a sign the air-fuel mixture is not optimal in the engine and too much fuel is being added to too little oxygen resulting in a rich condition. Usually, a check engine light will accompany this issue. Black smoke coming from the tailpipe is also an indication of a rich fuel condition. This condition can damage critical emissions components.
- Diesel engine – Diesel exhaust smells much stronger and is more visible than the exhaust from a gasoline engine. Diesel exhaust is generally much darker and contains more particulate matter.
There are several things you can do to help reduce the emissions coming from your vehicle, and to be proactive against potential problems:
- Check engine light awareness – Make sure the vehicle's check engine light, or service engine soon light, operates and is not illuminated when the engine is running. Model-year 1996 and newer vehicles utilize the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system to help determine if the vehicle's emission control systems are operating properly. The operation of the check engine light bulb can be determined with the key in the on position without the engine running.
- Perform regular maintenance – Change your engine oil and filter and the engine air filter as recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer to help your vehicle operate efficiently and reduce its emissions. It is also important to use the type of oil and fuel recommended by the manufacturer for best performance. Dirty oil or a clogged air filter will negatively affect emissions.
- Make sure the gas cap is installed and correct – The gas cap should be present unless the vehicle is equipped with a cap-less fuel filler. The rubber seal should not have cracks. It should tighten according to instructions and should be the correct type for the vehicle to avoid excess evaporative emissions. Modern fuel systems are fully sealed to prevent vapors from venting into the atmosphere.
- Tune-up your vehicle – Be sure to replace your vehicle's spark plugs as recommended by the manufacturer. This will result in more complete combustion of fuel, improved fuel economy, better performance, and reduced emissions. The air-fuel ratio is critical to maintaining a tuned-up engine. Refer to the owner's manual for recommended service intervals.
- Watch for warning signs – Road-weary vehicles can start to show signs of a faulty emission system, including difficulty starting or staying running at idle, loss of power, smelly or visible exhaust, and engine misfires. Many of these warning signs will result in the check engine light coming on.
If you choose to not pay attention to the proactive action items mentioned above, you will increase your risk of experiencing one or more of the most common causes of a failed emissions test. These include:
- Rich air-fuel mixture – This may be due to malfunctioning fuel injectors or a faulty oxygen sensor. Make sure these components are working properly before you take your vehicle for inspection. In extreme cases, a rich-running condition can dump so much raw fuel through the system that it burns out the catalytic converter.
- Worn spark plugs – Among other issues, worn spark plugs can also lead to increased emission of gases and a check engine light. Inspect and replace them as necessary.
- Defects in the evaporative emission control system (EVAP) – If a vehicle's EVAP system is not functioning properly, gasoline vapors will seep out of the vehicle's tank, polluting the atmosphere. Leaking hoses and vents are often the cause of a malfunctioning EVAP system. This can be a tough issue to track down and isolate.
- Leaking gas cap – This is a pretty simple and straightforward issue that you can easily fix yourself. Many vehicle owners probably don't worry too much about a leaking gas cap, but it is one of the potential reasons for a vehicle to fail an emissions test. Be sure yours is functioning properly. If there are any leaks, replace your gas cap with one that is designed for your vehicle and seals the tank properly.
- Defective "check engine" light – Sometimes, even if every other component related to controlling your vehicle's emissions works correctly, you may still fail an emissions test due to a malfunctioning "check engine" light bulb.
- Working "check engine" light – If the check engine light bulb is working, and the check engine light is on while the engine is running, you will fail an emissions test.
- Dirty air filter – High levels of hydrocarbons can be caused by a clogged or dirty air filter, making the air filter another component that should be inspected, and cleaned or replaced if necessary, before an emissions test.
- Damaged catalytic converter – Inspect the catalytic converter before an emissions test. If the catalytic converter is damaged, it cannot properly convert toxic gases into gases that are not harmful to public health and the environment, and this will cause your vehicle to fail an emissions test.
The percentage of air pollution caused by vehicles is higher in urban areas and higher still near major highways. Fortunately, better fuels and new technologies in vehicles help. The U.S. government has imposed tougher emissions standards, and consumers want better efficiency. According to the EPA, today's vehicles emit 75 to 90 percent less pollution per mile driven than vehicles made in 1970. Hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, and alternative fuels will continue to help, but the growing number of people and the 1.2 billion vehicles currently on the road largely offset those improvements.
Do your part to help reduce emissions by making sure your check engine light is not on, performing your vehicle's maintenance on schedule, making sure your gas cap is present and tight, being aware of how your vehicle is performing, and having your emission system components inspected and tested at least annually to be prepared for any state mandated emissions test and more importantly, to know you are doing your part to help the environment.
Never buy a used vehicle without having the emission system completely inspected to make sure the components are present and operating correctly, the computer and computer warning systems are functioning properly, and the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) monitors are complete or ready.

Book Reviews
Friday Favorites
It has been a great week around here. How has yours been? Flowers, Singing and a Tattoo are just a few of my favorite things from this week. Read on to see what my other favorites are.
I walked out into the Kitchen/Dining Room area and found these beautiful flowers. Jonathan snuck home and placed them on the kitchen table while I was taking a nap. The color of these roses is just beautiful! Jonathan also wrote encouraging note which was a big boost for me that day as it had been a challenging week.
Over the weekend, one of my best friends came in from Ohio. It was a quick trip for them so it was such a gift to have a few moments to catch up. We keep in touch through Voxer throughout the week. But, to have face to face was a blessing. I treasure the friendship I share with Marcie. The way she faces challenges head on by resting in God's strength has forever impacted me. My friendship with Marcie has helped me to become more like Jesus.
It is a privilege for me to be a part of the Worship Team at our church. There are many vocalists that make up our team. I sing once a month in our main venue for all three services. Being on the worship team is a dream come true because I love to sing and worship God. It is also a privilege to pray for others while I am on stage. As we sing the songs, I ask the Holy Spirit to encourage, build up and cement God's truth into the people's hearts.
The last couple of years, I have been thinking and praying about getting a tattoo. It felt terrifying to think about it but thrilling at the same time. A tattoo is very permanent so I didn't want to take this lightly. In September, I settled on what I wanted. I knew pretty quickly that I wanted the tattoo on my wrist so I could see it daily. I wanted it to be a mark and reminder for me. This past Tuesday evening, Jonathan and I headed to a local tattoo parlor.
It's still hard to believe I actually did it. I absolutely love my tattoo! The anchor reminds that I am anchored in Jesus alone. He alone is my security and identity. The rope on the anchor reminds me to be tethered to Jesus alone. The Scripture reference on my tattoo has become very special to me this year. My word of the year is 'secure.' This verse has secure in it and is an incredible promise that I hold on to. I am excited about the conversations my tattoo will spark.
"Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between his shoulders." Deuteronomy 33:12
It's been late nights around my house lately but it is so worth it! It has been awesome to watch the World Series. I was born and raised in Cleveland most of my life so I have always been a Cleveland Indians fan. I am thrilled they are in the World Series! As I watched Game 1 and 2, so many memories of time spent at Progressive Field (formerly known as Jacob's field) came flooding back. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the World Series. Go Tribe!!
I hope you enjoyed reading about the five things I am grateful for this week. It was fun writing about it all. How about you? What are you grateful for this week? I would love to hear about your week. Please share in the comments below. Have a great weekend!
Let's imagine we are sitting down for a cup of coffee or tea. I would remind you that you are chosen, loved and cherished by the King of Kings. I would also listen as you shared about how I could pray for you. Since we can't officially meet, I'd be honored if you joined my online community.

Disclosure: This post was created in partnership with Egg Nutrition Center. I was compensated for my time. As always, all opinions are my own.
Trendy, hot, and hearty, bibimbap can be a medley of surprisingly good-for-you comfort foods that come together in one nutritionally-balanced bowl of a meal. It brings me special joy to share a delicious recipe that is part of my culture and can help boost brain health. If you're familiar with Korean food, you'll recognize the palate personality (flavor profile) of gochujang (Korean chili paste), gochugaru (Korean chili pepper, coarse grounds), garlic, sesame oil, and radishes.
What you may not know is that bibimbap is a kitchen sink kind of meal. It's the meal my grandmother made every once in awhile, to clear away lots of leftovers. That's because it literally means "mixed rice," with the subtext, "rice mixed with _____," aka, whatever you have on hand. It's the answer to those quietly pleading leftovers in the back of your refrigerator, trying to catch your attention – pick me, pick me. With bibimbap, it's all possible. Look mom, no more food waste! Served with a freshly cooked egg, it feels like something new.
If I were more of a meal planner, bibimbap would be my Friday meal. The one where all the leftover bits of veg and shroom from earlier in the week would find new life under a gloriously gooey egg. Because you definitely have to #putaneggonit. Thinking about this Friday meal might even motivate me to cook more vegetables Monday to Thursday just so I'd have choice odds and ends for my Friday bowl.
Formula for Success
If you already have an amazing assortment of leftovers in your fridge, you are ahead of the game, and 80-percent of the way to a bowl of bibimbap. If one of your leftovers is rice, then make that 90-percent. This is because bibimbap is secretly like any other grain bowl at its core (don't tell). Here's the formula for success:
Bowl + rice + vegetables + freshly cooked sunny side up egg + jang (sauce)
Option 1: Add some fish or poultry from a prior meal
Option 2: Top with dried seaweed and/or sesame seeds
However, if you're a first-timer and want to do this from go, I've got you. And so I have for you today a freshly made bibimbap recipe from start to finish. Mine uses the vegetables that show up in Korean food a lot, like mushrooms. Koreans love mushrooms. I once went to a town in South Korea with statues of mushrooms where I stopped to have a soup with more than 20 varieties of mushrooms. And that was just the starter. I also include zucchini, mung bean sprouts, and spinach. These veggies are based by whole grain brown rice, and topped with a sunny-side up egg.
Brain-Boosting Cred
MIND foods: Whole grains, leafy green vegetables, other vegetables, olive oil
Other brain-boosting bona fides: This meal includes ingredients like eggs and spices that have their own brain-health cred, though they are not (yet) specifically part of the MIND diet. Research suggests eating eggs promotes brain health in adults and children. Eggs are one of the few food sources that provide both lutein and choline, which are two nutrients important for brain development. Learn more in this educational video I worked on with the Egg Nutrition Center. Further, phytonutrients in spices like chili flakes show neuroprotectant potential in emerging research.
Pro tip: If you have more vegetables on hand than called for, feel free to cook it up and serve it on the side of this otherwise one-bowl meal. Having more veggies around is a good thing.
- 4 cups cooked brown rice (can sub any whole grain rice)
- 1 large bunch of spinach, 10 oz
- 1.5 tsp sesame oil, divided
- 1 tsp olive oil, more as needed
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 medium zucchini
- 8 oz mung bean sprouts
- 8 oz shiitake mushrooms
- 1 large carrot
- 2 cups mu saengchae (see separate recipe)
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnishes: green onion, sesame seeds, dried seaweed strips
- ⅓ cup gochujang
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame seed oil
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 5 oz. Jeju radish (can sub daikon radish)
- 2 tsp brown rice vinegar (can sub any light vinegar)
- 1 tsp gochugaru (Korean red chile flakes; can sub crushed red pepper flakes)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Make rice according to package directions, on the stove top, or in a rice cooker.
- Fill a medium pot about half way full with water and heat until boiling.
- While the rice cooks and water boils, wash, dry, and prep all the produce. Note that mushrooms should be wiped clean with a damp paper towel or clean cloth towel, otherwise they absorb too much water.
- Peel the radish, and scrub or peel the carrots. For large produce like the radish, a Y-peeler is the ideal tool to use for the job.
- Julienne cut the zucchini, carrot, and radish. They don't have to be textbook perfect julienne cuts. First cut your long veg into approximately 3" pieces. Then slice lengthwise into planks. Then slice each plank into thin matchsticks.
- Set zucchini in a paper-towel lined fine mesh strainer. Squeeze and drain excess liquid after 10 minutes.
- Cut mushrooms into ¼" slices
- Measure out all the other ingredients
- In a small bowl, mix together the Jang ingredients and set aside for at least 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- In a medium bowl, combine all Mu Saengchae ingredients, tossing gently to combine. You can adjust how much of the chili flakes to use, depending on how spicy you'd like it to be. Disposable thin plastic kitchen gloves make this really simple and mess-free, but clean hands also work great.
- Once water is boiling, prepare a large ice bath in a large bowl with ice and water. Blanch carrots in boiling water for 1-3 minutes or until just slightly wilted, then transfer to ice bath and agitate for 30 seconds or until cool. Set aside to dry. Squeeze and drain excess liquid before adding to a small bowl with ¼ teaspoon of sesame oil. Season with salt to taste.
- In the boiling water used for the carrots, blanch the bean sprouts for 3-5 minutes until wilted. Transfer to the ice bath and repeat remaining steps used for carrots.
- Heat a medium pan over medium-high heat with 1 tsp olive oil. Add spinach and 1 minced garlic clove. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for 60-90 seconds or until wilted. Squeeze and drain excess liquid, cut into 2-3" pieces, toss with ¼ teaspoon of sesame oil, set aside.
- In the same pan used for the spinach (add a little olive oil if pan is dry), sauté the zucchini for 60-90 seconds or until just wilted. Squeeze and drain excess liquid, toss with ¼ teaspoon of sesame oil, set aside.
- In the same pan used for the spinach and zucchini, heat ½ teaspoon sesame oil until hot but not smoking. Add mushrooms, season with salt to taste. Sauté until well-wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Drain excess liquid and set aside.
- Divide rice among 4 bowls. Arrange spinach, carrots, mushrooms, zucchini, and sprouts so they are each visible and lay from the center of the bowl out, like spokes of a wheel.
- In a non-stick pan, heat a little olive oil until hot but not smoking, then cook sunny-side up eggs until the tops of the egg whites are set, about 2-3 minutes. Top each bowl with a freshly cooked egg. Add any optional garnishes, if using. Enjoy!
Korean Danhobak (kabocha squash) Porridge
In Korean this dish is called "hobakjuk," which can technically refer to zucchini or winter squash porridge. However, it most commonly refers to a porridge that celebrates the sweet winter squash called danhobak (it is also known as kabocha squash). The short-grain brown rice in this dish is a plant-based way to enhance its silky creamy texture.
MIND diet foods: Vegetables, Whole Grains, Nuts
- ½ cup sweet brown rice
- 1 medium kabocha squash, about 4 lbs measured whole
- 6 cups of water, ½ cup of water
- Salt to taste
- Recommended garnishes: jujube (red dates), sliced; pine nuts, roasted sesame seeds
- Optional: honey
- ½ cup sweet rice flour
- 5 tablespoons of water
- Rinse and drain brown rice in cool water 3 to 5 times. Soak rice in clean water for at least 1 hour (can be done a day ahead).
- Preheat oven to 400F, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, soften the squash. Wash squash well, then pierce several times with a fork or knife and place in a large microwave safe bowl with 3 inches of water. Cook for 4 minutes. Flip the squash over, and cook for another 4 minutes. Let squash rest until cool enough to handle, then cut into 2-4 pieces and toss with a neutral oil, then place cut side down on a lined baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. Let rest until cool enough to handle, then remove skins. It's 6-8 cups.
- While squash is roasting, make the thickening liquid. Drain soaked rice and add to blender with ½ cup of water. Blend on high until liquified, and set aside until ready to use. Quickly rinse out the blender.
- Blend the squash in batches, gradually adding 6 cups of water, until smooth. Move blended squash to a large pot and heat on low.
- Slowly stir in brown rice-water mixture and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and salt to taste.
- Meanwhile, make the rice cake dumplings. Start a medium pot of water to boil, and set up a large bowl of cold ice water.
- Heat 5 tablespoons of water, e.g. in microwave or tea kettle.
- Place rice flour in a medium bowl and stir in hot water gradually until cool enough to handle, then knead dough for a few minutes.
- Pinch off a ½ teaspoon at a time and roll dough between palms to form small balls (makes about 30 of them)
- Drop into boiling water for 1-2 minutes, until they float
- Remove rice cake dumplings with a slotted spoon and place in cold water bath until ready to use
- Pour soup into bowls, add a few rice cake dumplings to each, and garnish as desired. Drizzle with honey if using. Enjoy.

7 Yr MortgageMortgage 7 years
commitment of the yield to the 10-year Treasury yield corresponds to the maturity risk. Typically after a fixed period of 3, 5, 7 or 10 years; thereafter annual change typical.
If you understand how runtime and amortization work, you can make a lot of savings.
Comprehending how terms and amortization work can help you safe a lot of moneys. When there is one thing that is confusing the general public, it is the distinction between the mortgage maturity and the amortization rate of the mortgage. This is the mortgage duration until your mortgage becomes due and payable. The majority of mortgage loans have a maturity of between six and five years.
If you are a mortgage holder and you have always made your mortgage payment, almost every institution would like to extend your mortgage. As a rule, the same rules shall be applied, with the exception of the interest rat. The interest is converted to the interest then applicable. Lenders can also adapt the interest rates to reflect prevailing rates.
As far as the borrowers are concerned, the "term" is primarily about predicting the interest bearing. When you think that interest will fall in the near or distant term, you will decide on a short-term mortgage. When you think that interest prices will increase from today's level, you are likely to decide on a four - or five-year maturity to maintain this high.
The amortisation, on the other paper, refers to the interest at which the mortgage is disbursed. The majority of borrower starts with a twenty-five year payback time. This means that the mortgage will be fully repaid after 25 years, on the basis of the amount of the monthly payment and the interest levels in the original mortgage.
When you decide to take a five-year mortgage and a twenty-five-year payback, you should choose a twenty-year payback at the end of five years if you want to withdraw the mortgage within the twenty-five years. On the other hand, the quickest way to disburse a mortgage is to disburse a mortgage is to reduce the payback time.
The majority of individuals have a tendency to think of depreciation ratios in the form of five-year multipliers. Borrowers can choose any amortisation period from one year to twenty-five. To find out what is best for you, use the Mortgage Payback Calculator in the Financial Tools section.
Modify the terms and also the interest rates. While you do so, you see how by decreasing the countenance of, say, 25 gathering to 20 gathering, the variation from the series commerce is body part, yet the recovery of 5 gathering of curiosity is large. writing of this writing.

The desert of pain.Tamara Caridad Mesa González 15 julio, 2019
There is a desert in Latin America that witnesses the pain of hundreds of American families. There the human flesh melts between the fatigue and the sweat of those who, beyond the hills, find a "paradise". Many arrive from afar and cacti are no more than another barrier that separates them from the world of… Continue Reading »

Asbestos data collection in schools
Gov.uk asks Head teachers of schools throughout England to provide information on asbestos within their school building.
School buildings may contain asbestos if any part of them was built before 2000. It is extremely important that any asbestos present in a school is managed properly.
If Head teachers do not follow the steps set out in this advice, they may put the future health of their staff, pupils and visitors at risk.
Prosecution can also be faced by failing to comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
In March 2015, the Department for Education completed a major review of its policy on the management of asbestos in schools. The outcomes from the review included the issuing of updated guidance, entitled Managing asbestos in your school, and a call for a clearer picture of how asbestos is managed in schools across England.
As a result gov.uk developed a small number of straightforward questions about asbestos management for all head teachers to answer. Once head teachers have completed the survey they will receive immediate feedback and advice based on their responses.
Responses should be submitted using the asbestos survey.
The deadline for submissions is Monday 29 February 2016.
Find out which asbestos survey is right for your property.
Alternatively, you can call on 0800 141 2676.

Ho Chi Minh City Party Secretary Nguyen Thien Nhan has suggested providing armour for local men who voluntary join in crime fighting after two men were killed in a motorbike robbery.
Ho Chi Minh City Party Secretary Nguyen Thien Nhan visits Dinh Van Quy at the hospital on May 14
According to local police, a man parked his scooter in front of a clothing shop on May 13. A group of four robbers attempted to break the lock on the scooter. Several local men in the "street knight" team who have helped prevented many robberies in the area came to stop them. While struggling, five men were stabbed. Two of them died due to serious injuries while three others were admitted to the hospital.
Bui Minh Trang, deputy head of People's Hospital 115, said one of the injured men, Tran Van Hoang, was admitted to the hospital. He had a 10-centimetre long laceration on his chest and his lung, heart and liver were all injured. The emergency operation was successful and Hoang has regained consciousness.
HCM City Party Secretary Nguyen Thien Nhan visited Hoang and showed surprise and gratitude upon knowing that three members of Hoang's family join in fighting crime. Nhan thanked Hoang and other "street knights" who have helped protect local residents.
"I'm really sad about this tragedy. The sacrifice they made shows a chivalrous and beautiful tradition of Vietnam," Nhan said.
However, Nhan also raised concerns about the dangers they are facing, especially when the criminals are armed and aggressive. He suggested providing body armour and equipment for the local crime-fighting groups.
"The city police should consider this solution. The fund for the equipment can come from the private sector," Nhan said.
