Challenge Poverty Week is an opportunity to highlight the extent of poverty in Scotland and to build support for further action.
The Poverty Alliance is coordinating Challenge Poverty Week (CPW) this week. The key messages are:
Poverty is a real problem in Scotland, affecting large and growing numbers of people;
Wide inequalities between groups and individuals damages our whole society;
Poverty is created by the decisions we make as a society;
People living on low incomes have a voice and should be heard;
Change is possible!
The Trussell Trust has revealed today that five times more Scots are turning to food banks for emergency aid than last year. Between April and September, 23,073 people were referred to the Trussell Trust for three days' worth of food – comprising 16,465 adults and 6,608 children. That compares with 4,021 people in the same months of 2012 – 2,786 adults and 1,235 children. The Scottish figures are significantly higher than in the UK as a whole.
As TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady put it: "One only has to look at the huge rise in foodbanks to see how little support is being given to people who fall on hard times. But instead of recognising the tremendous difficulties people are facing, ministers are blaming them for their plight. The Chancellor is talking up a recovery – but for who? These new figures show that despite trying desperately hard to make ends meet hundreds of thousands of people still can't afford to put food on the table for their families. Welfare reforms like the Bedroom Tax have pushed more households into food poverty."
The long term picture is no better. A study by SCVO showed that one in four Scots will be living in poverty by the end of the decade if the coalition government forges ahead with "criminal welfare reforms" that draw together a range of benefits into one universal credit.
A common myth perpetrated by the UK Government is that welfare is for skivers. In fact the biggest element of social security expenditure (42%) goes to pensioners. Then housing benefit is next, accounting for 20%, of whom one-fifth are in work. Then 15% goes on children, through child benefit and child tax credit. Some 8% goes on disability living allowance, 4% on income support mainly for single parents and carers, 4% on employment and support allowance to those who can't work due to sickness or disability, and 2% on carer's allowance and maternity pay. Just 3% is spent on jobseeker's allowance.
So if we achieve only one thing this week, let's remember that poverty demeans us all and it doesn't have to happen in a rich country like ours. And if you don't like the moral argument, accept the economic case. More equal societies do better on every measure, so pure self interest should drive you to challenge poverty.

It's the time of the year for baking and eating fruit cakes. I have been using this recipe to bake fruit cake ever since I started. I like this recipe as it uses only molasses sugar (dark unrefined sugar) and that explained why the little bricks of fruit cake that I baked are so much darker in color.

Olive Sourdough Boules
Yes, more sourdough bread. As I slowly (but surely) gained more confidence in making the basic sourdough bread, I tried mixing in more interesting ingredients into the dough to give variety to the daily bread that my family eats.

text: English to Thai Translation For all of our Thai translation services, we offer the following:- All Thai translators have a minimum Master's level qualification in Translation and/or specialty.- We never do Thai translations only; all of our translations include a full, independent proofread.- All of our Thai translators and proofreaders are resident in Thailand; language changes rapidly and translators who live away from their mother tongue can lose currency in that language.- Our Thai translation teams are organized by specialty. The translation of an engineering manual is very different from the translation of a hotel brochure. We assign projects to translators based on the content of the translation.Contact us now to discuss your Thai Translation requirements.Things to consider when translating to/from ThaiCompression/Expansion: Expect around a 15% expansion when translating from English to Thai and a similar contraction when working in the opposite direction, but this will vary depending on the content type. Product labeling and graphically intense marketing materials, where space can be at a premium, should be planned well to account for this.On a typical business card: We would recommend leaving the person's name and company name in English and Thai script where space allows. Where a choice must be made, foreign addresses should remain in English script, Thai addresses should be translated.Population: Of the 46-50 million Thai-speakers, 12 million have access to the internet.Character Encodings:Language Code: thCharset: Windows-874Geographical Location: Thailand.Literacy Rate: 92.6%Dialects: There are many dialects of Thai, many of which are not mutually intelligible. Within Thailand, speakers of most dialects can also speak Central Thai as well.Currency: Thai baht (THB).Language Tips: Thai has its own alphabet, which involves some implicit (unwritten) vowels. The vowels are assumed based on the consonants. Written vowels are located above, below, in front of or behind the consonants. Thai is a subject-verb-object language. Adjectives are written after the noun. Verbs are not conjugated. Tense (Past, present, future) is communicated using markers before or after the verb. Nouns have no gender, nor do they convey number. If these things are important to the sense of the sentence, additional words are required. Many Thai words can have the same spelling but have different meanings that are marked by intonation. A rising middle vowel, or a flat pronunciation can mean the difference between something that makes sense and something that sounds absurd. This distinctive aspect of Thai can make it difficult for speakers of unrelated languages to learn. Although Arabic numbers are occasionally used, Thai -speakers usually write numbers using their own script.

It's that time of the year again!
Christmas is a magical time that brings with it heavenly food, rich wines, fun (and some fights 🙂 ) with family and friends, and HOLIDAYS!
It's time to get into the festive spirit. It's time to make use of those carefully accumulated paid vacation days. It's time to pack your bags to celebrate Christmas in one of these picture-perfect destinations.
1. Goa
When you think of Christmas in India, you will immediately think of Goa and why not! Goa is the granddaddy of good times and, of course, Christmas. Thanks to its sizeable Roman Catholic population and its Portuguese influence, this picturesque state celebrates Christmas with immense enthusiasm.
Christmas is undoubtedly going to be warm in Goa, literally, thanks to its weather and, figuratively, thanks to its hospitality. From midnight masses to Christmas meals, from music to parties, the state offers a plethora of Merry-centric activities.
Book your Goa homestay now, and get ready to enjoy the lovely decorations and lively Christmas lights.
2. Puducherry
From the Portuguese-influenced to the French-influenced, we jump from Goa to pretty Puducherry or Pondicherry. Much like Goa, Puducherry has a significant number of Roman Catholics which has resulted in this Union Territory having its own way of celebrating Christmas.
You can't help but get caught up in the Christmas festivities in Puducherry. On the days leading up to 25th December, this quaint territory takes on a new coat of colour; it's bright and merry all around you. Do try and make it to mass in The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Eglise de Notre Dame des Anges (The Church of Our Lady of Angels), or Church of Our Lady of Good Health – it will be quite a sight.
3. Andaman, especially Havelock Island
Relatively unspoilt, the Andamans, especially Havelock island, is one of the best places to be during Christmas or New Year.
Thanks to the plastic ban, the islands are lush and clean. From the n number of water activities to doing nothing at all on the beach, this hammock-paradise offers warmth and hearty food during Christmas.
4. Lansdowne
Want peace and tranquillity this Christmas? Then look no further than Lansdowne in Uttaranchal. Unblemished and serene, Lansdowne was always popular with the British back in the day. This hill station will satiate your wish for a snowy Christmas. Get ready to bundle up and head on over to Lansdowne for a Christmas with a bonfire and music, and beautifully decorated Christmas trees.
5. Shimla
Christmas for a lot of us conjures up images of snowy days and nights thanks to the many hours spent with Charles Dickens and Harry Potter (we're covering all our bases 🙂 ). Shimla comes very close to this childhood imagery. Though it can get crowded during the Christmas season and the snow can be fickle, you will not be able to resist its charm. With views that are unequalled, Shimla can be best enjoyed on a toy train from Kalka. Its British-era buildings such as Rothney Castle and Woodville Palace give Shimla its old-school charm.
So that's nomad.travel's top 5 Christmas destinations in India. We'll leave you with this countdown clock, which will tell you just how little time you have to book that Christmas vacation. 🙂 You're welcome.

I received this really cool looking bracelet from Vogue Jewelry to review. It is a very comfortable bracelet that is made with good quality parts and is constructed really well.
The clasp is solid metal and it stays fastened. I have not had a bit of trouble with it coming undone while I've worn it.
The only improvement I would like to see is for the bracelet to either be made in different sizes or to be adjustable somehow. It is a tad large on my wrist and I prefer being able to wear bracelets so there's not a lot of slack in them.
You can check out this bracelet as well as other other jewelry pieces on the VogueWebsite

The Blended Parent Network was founded in the summer of 2016 by a couple of likely dads, Luke Woodhouse and David Shaul. Since then it has raced towards its goal; "to become a helpful, engaging, positive environment for ALL families, is driven by a shared passion, to be the best parents we can be."
David and Luke have become friends of mine through the magic that is the internet. Luke helped and encouraged me when I first ventured into vlogging and David is my go to person for any tech advice. So when they asked if I'd like to do a guest post for their blog I jumped at it.
Read it here: The Dag Bag
Aside from their network and associated businesses, they also run their own separate ventures.
Luke and his lovely wife Fiona are masters of the family vlog scene and I would say they are in my top two favourite family YouTubers. See their handy work here with one of my favourites… Congratulations guys.
David blogs at Dad V World which also links in with his YouTube Channel of the same name (link above). It's a one stop shop with an opinion on anything from Home Schooling to "Geek" Tech reviews. Give his blog a look here.

Wairton Willie says we are having an early spring. Well I say that you have to have winter in order to have spring and we have not had winter yet. As you can probably tell by the tone of my voice ( if you were here) my family and I love winter.
So, now that spring is on the way and the melt waters and spring rains are going to start flowing through your basement weepers, you will want to be prepared. First you should make sure that your sump pump drain lines are not frozen or clogged, including the end where the water makes its exit. If they are clogged or frozen you will likely burn out your sump pump and then proceed to have water flowing through your basement like an indoor pool.
Then you should make sure that your sump pump is in good working order. As a good rule for any home owners with a crawl space or basement, it is a great idea to have a new sump pump on backup. Having two pumps is a great idea. Just in case we have an extra soggy wet spring. Just ask anyone that has had a pump die on them when the water levels are bursting over the top of the rim. Also make sure the new one works, take it out of the box and test it.
Another thing to keep in mind is to put a check valve on the out take pipe. This will help the water from being sucked back into the sump basin. If you need help with this just give me a call.
It may also be in your interest to put an alarm on the system. Especially if you do not go into your basement or crawl space very often. This will alert you as to when the level of water is too high and is at risk of coming over the top and flooding your basement or crawlspace.
If you really want to take precaution, you could install a back up system. Then when the hydro goes out the sump pump will continue to work. Whether it is a pressure system hooked up to town water, a battery backup or a manual or automatic generator. Otherwise it could be the old fashioned backup system, a bucket and a mop.
I know that some of you good folks say that you have never had water in your sump pump basin, and that is great. However, I know of a number of homes that the owner said they never had water in their sump holes, EVER. Until that one wet quick spring thaw. Now they wish they had. EVERY HOME that has a crawl space or basement should have a sump basin and a sump pump. This just makes sense, because it is a hole in the ground and water always takes the easiest route. It is part of the Ontario Building Code now. If you have any questions about this or anything to do with buildings, just give me a call.
Also, just so you remember, I am in the business of selling real estate and I would like your business. So if you want to sell or buy a home, please call asap, so I can get started helping you achieved your real estate goals. It is going to be a great spring in Real estate for all of us. I also would like your referrals, so if you know anyone else that is interested in moving to upsize, downsize or any size, I would give them the same great service that I would give you.
Thankyou very much for stopping by,
I hope that this was helpful
Have a great day!

•Is the Rivers police boss a policeman or politician? IGP must call him to order
From his outrageous comments, this question is imperative: is Mbu Joseph Mbu, the commissioner of Police in Rivers State, a police officer or a politician?
Mr. Mbu has been blabbing, and blowing hot and cold: Governor Rotimi Amaechi is a dictator; Governor Amaechi has no respect for the Police; Governor Amaechi is Rivers State chief security officer, he (Mbu) is only 2iC [regimental-speak for second-in-command], the governor is my friend, the governor is my boss, the governor is my brother; only that, the press is blowing the Mbu-Amaechi affair out of context, blah, blah, blah!
In fairness to Mr. Mbu, his utterances have been provoked by grave gubernatorial accusations, that the police commissioner had been remiss in his duty: allegedly partisan in the Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) crisis, allegedly leaking security information to those who should not know, being allegedly prompted to mastermind a sinister change in the security details of the governor and his top staff, and aiding and abetting anti-Amaechi protests while allegedly suppressing pro-Amaechi rallies.
Mr. Mbu perhaps was exercising his right of self-defence, in the face of all these grave allegations; and his not-too-hidden body language, that spoke of a misguided viceroy at Abuja's pleasure, despatched down to contest the limelight with the elected governor, or even outright boss him.
But the more Mr. Mbu opened his mouth, the more he sank into the quicksand of one blundering into matters not exactly his forte; and causing himself grave professional embarrassment, in the mind of any right-thinking citizen.
Indeed, since the President Vs Governor tussle in Rivers State started, no thanks to his unguarded, if not outright reckless utterances, Mr. Mbu has been a classical example of how not to be a police officer: loud, reckless, explosive, partial and outright insufferable.
Rather than, as his high security office demands, being a dignified official of state, he has turned himself into a wretched serf for occupiers of state offices, no matter how high. Even for a partisan Police, he is an ultra-bad advertisement.
Mohammed Abubakar, the inspector-general of police (IGP), should call this errant officer to order. But maybe the hammer should start with the IGP himself: from which school are his officers made these days and what orders does he give them? Whatever the IGP's operational briefs to Mr. Mbu, the police commissioner has exhibited a profound lack of tact and wisdom, that any dutiful policeman must be embarrassed on his behalf.
But perhaps the IGP and his errant police commissioner are only the symptom, not the root cause of the problem. The root cause is a 1999 Constitution (as amended) that is eminently a mockery of itself. How can a constitution claim it is federal, and yet stipulate such centrist doctrines that border on legal idiocy? How can a constitution claim a governor is chief executive officer of his state and yet the police commissioner in his state takes orders from his IGP, who is not even elected? And yet, there is no state police!
Even, the amendments in the works point to another legal idiocy. The states, it is being suggested, would take over prisons. Sure, there are state high courts. Soon, if the amendment passes, there would be state-exclusively controlled prisons. Yet, there is no talk of state police! So, how complete is the criminal-justice system at state level, without state police?
A stop must be put to this constitutional self-mockery. But even before then, something is clear: the constitution, warts and all, does not still provide for a presidential viceroy come to muddle up security waters in a state, even if the state governor does not see eye to eye with the president. That is the ignoble role Mr. Mbu is playing. It is downright ugly!
Having said that, however, even with the all-too-obvious provocation, Governor Amaechi himself should temper his utterances. Declaring he was ready to be shot by an insufferable police commissioner adds no gloss to gubernatorial prestige and dignity.

My family loves going to the movies, and we try to catch every family-friendly film we can while in theaters. Movie theater popcorn (more butter, please!) and a couple of hours to escape and laugh with my loves is what I call a great time. My youngest, Miss Bea, has been begging to see DreamWorks The Boss Baby ever since she saw previews last fall. To bide our time while we wait for DreamWorks The Boss Baby to hit theaters, we've been in the kitchen whipping up Peanut Butter Blossoms "Boss-oms" to pair with Peach Tampico, for a perfect treat!
Peanut Butter Blossoms are one of those cookies that should be in every home's cookie arsenal. They're easy, fun, and super yummy. Plus, according to previews, DreamWorks The Boss Baby loves his cookies!
Everyone needs something to wash down those cookies, and I've never been a milk drinker myself, so we grabbed one of the many flavors of Tampico to go along with our Peanut Butter Boss-oms. The kids opted for Peach Tampico, which was a big hit. Tampico is one of the world's best-loved beverages when it comes to high quality and value-added juice drinks.
Peanut Butter Blossoms
- 30 chocolate kisses
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 3/4 cup peanut butter (I use simply ground peanut butter for a bit of crunch)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup additional granulated sugar for rolling
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In an electric mixer, beat shortening and peanut butter until combined. Add sugars and mix until fluffy before adding egg, milk and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt until combined. Gradually add dry mixture to wet mixture; beat to incorporate.
- Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in remaining sugar. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake cookies 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and quickly press chocolate into the center of each cookie. Remove cookies from baking sheet and cool on wire rack. Makes about 30 cookies.

The roadmap for peace was a fraud
Some interesting revelations and words of wisdom from Shlomo Gazit.
The revelation.
Immediately after the Six Day War, 40 years ago, Shlomo Gazit was put in charge of Gaza and the West Bank. Today, the retired general is in favour of talks with Hamas, describes the road map as a "pretext" for Israel not to negotiate with the Palestinians, and thinks the idea that the US can or should veto a peace process between Jerusalem and Damascus is a "nonsense".
An interesting prediction
Had Ariel Sharon not had his massive stroke in January 2006, Mr Gazit believes he would have realised that withdrawal from Gaza was not going to be enough to fulfil the demographic objective that had come to preoccupy him – ensuring a Jewish majority in the territory controlled by Israel. As a result, he thinks, Mr Sharon would have embarked on withdrawals from the West Bank.
And an unexpected revelation.
On top of that, he says, opinion polls show that a clear majority of the Israeli public want an agreement on a two-state solution. They realise that "small is beautiful, and that if Israel wants to survive as a Jewish state, we have to get rid of the territories".
Sadly, not a sentiment shared by all in Israel.
Ron Caspi, the prominent lawyer has suggested strangulating the Gaza Strip. In the financial daily Globes of May 25, he called for, "neither a land incursion nor an aerial attack, but the creation of a noose … From the moment that rocket number eight is fired, the government of Israel will act to cut Gaza off from the essential infrastructure systems of fuel, water, electricity and telephones, and will prevent others from providing these utilities to Gaza."In other words: to cut a million and a half people off from the sources of life.

I actually have this mould which has been sitting doing nothing in my craft room for months! I couldnt figure out what to do with it but thought of making either chocolate buttons or wax melts (but figured that might be too much of a faff). I like your idea of making resin buttons. Wouldnt have a clue how to do it but love the idea. Any tips on how to do it? x

Pick n Pay is a retail business in the fast-moving consumer goods industry on the African continent that believes doing good is good business. Pick n Pay operates through multiple store formats under two brands – Pick n Pay and Boxer – and we have the largest online grocery business in Africa.
85 000 employees
two BRANDS
1 795 stores
R86.3 billion turnover
- Owned and franchise stores in seven countries in southern Africa
- Brands: Pick n Pay and Boxer
- Hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores and online platform
- Serving customers across all income groups
- Food, non-edible groceries, clothing, health and beauty, liquor, pharmaceuticals, building and hardware and general merchandise
- Branded merchandise and private label
- Value-added services
Pick n Pay is a multi-format, multi-channel retailer with a strong and diverse portfolio of stores.
Pick n Pay is an inclusive brand, not aimed at serving a single customer demographic but focused on being the retailer for all, from the most affluent of society to those who are less fortunate and for whom price is of the utmost importance. The middle-income South African consumer, however, makes up the largest portion of our customer base. Pick n Pay operates on both an owned and franchise basis, providing a wide range of products and value-added services, and includes an online offering. Pick n Pay is focused on delivering an exceptional customer offer, including range, quality, price, availability and service. Pick n Pay has a strong growth plan, benefiting from the flexibility of its formats and its leaner operating model, and will focus on bringing its offer to communities where we are not yet well represented, including through small convenience stores.
Our Boxer stores provide a "one-stop shop" for middle to lower-income shoppers in South Africa and Eswatini.
Boxer offers a tight range of quality products and services at very affordable prices. Stores offer essential daily commodities such as maize meal, rice, samp, sugar, oil and beans as well as perishables, health and beauty, general merchandise and bulk-buy offers. The stores also offer fruit and vegetables, butcheries, bakeries and deli sections providing a choice of prepared convenience meals. There are no franchise stores under this brand. While Boxer now has reach across all nine provinces in South Africa, its geographical heartland is KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape. Boxer will continue to grow and expand in areas where the Group knows it can serve the needs of communities through its wide product range, affordable prices and community-rooted staff.
The Group has a 49% investment in its associate TM Supermarkets in Zimbabwe.
TM Supermarkets is one of the most trusted retail brands in Zimbabwe. With its pay off line "Real Value Always", customers are offered a wide range of groceries and perishables, with a limited range of general merchandise and a fresh offering which caters specifically for the communities they serve at competitive prices. TM Supermarkets draws its customers from all communities and income groups across Zimbabwe, while store formats range from convenient small supermarkets to larger supermarkets.
Our customer offer focuses on food, non-edible groceries, health and beauty products, clothing, liquor, pharmaceuticals, building and hardware and general merchandise. The offer also includes value-added services such as third-party bill payments, ticketing services and financial transactions at till points. In addition to manufacturerbranded products, we have a growing own-brand range, in both Pick n Pay and Boxer, to suit every customer's budget. We are focused on delivering good quality at great prices and we appeal broadly across all sectors of society. We seek to move hand-in-hand with the changing needs and aspirations of our customers.
We keep customers at the heart of our business. This philosophy informs everything we do, from how we treat our customers, to the product range we offer, and how we design our stores. Putting the customer first means we work hard to understand their diverse and changing needs and how we can serve them better. Through our Pick n Pay and Boxer brands, the Group serves customers across the diverse spectrum of South African society, and is expanding its reach into the African continent. More than half of all South Africans shop regularly in our stores and we have some of the most loyal customers in the country.
Greater operating efficiency provides headroom for us to invest in improving the customer experience. We work in partnership with suppliers and service providers to provide value and convenience for our customers. The scale of our business allows us to give our suppliers sufficient volume so that they can plan and manage their operations to reduce costs. We procure, transport, store and display our products as efficiently as possible to keep costs to a minimum. Our focus on centralisation across all areas of the business has increased our business efficiency.
Customers reward those businesses that they believe are at the heart of society and who give back to the communities they serve. As customers reward us with their loyalty, we are able to grow, serve more customers, generate more jobs, and help more communities – whether by supporting communities or groups during times of crisis, helping to develop local suppliers and small businesses, or tackling societal challenges such as obesity and climate change.
We employ 52 000 people in our company-owned stores and operations. Our franchise stores extend this to 85 000 people working under the Pick n Pay and Boxer banners in seven countries. Working at Pick n Pay is more than a job; it is an opportunity to learn, develop new skills and benefit through teamwork. We are committed to training, developing and empowering our people.

Justin Sullivan has been exploring photography in the greater Cape Town region for the past 2 years, broadening his expertise in Documentary Photography – specialising in Cape Wild Fires, using his Nikon D750 and Nikkor 24-70mm lens.
His documentary work from numerous Wild Fires around Cape Town has been highly recognised both locally and internationally, with various publications for print and online media.
What Justin put his Nikon gear through as he documented these wildfires is testimony to the incredible craftsmanship and technological expertise synonymous with the Nikon brand.
Here is his story…
Of the more than 40 wildfires in the 2016/2017 season, I spent at least 5 of those shooting through the night on the mountain with crews of +16 hour shifts each time.
I was water bombed at least 8 times as helicopters dropped water on fire lines in which my equipment got wet. Amazingly after a few minutes in the sun, the equipment was dry and running perfectly.
My camera and lens were exposed to extreme heat, dust and flying embers on multiple occasions and I never had any faults with the motors, buttons or performance. I only ever carried 2 Nikon batteries with me, which allowed me to shoot full albums and video content without even coming close to running out of battery life.
I was able to shoot night portraits and action shots with high ISO settings at optimal quality.
Throughout the season I had 3 flash hoods burned, two pairs of trousers, one pair of shoes and multiple blisters and burn marks on my hands, neck and face. I am utterly amazed at the incredible durability and resilience of my Nikon equipment while being exposed to such extreme conditions for such an extended length of time.
See the link below regarding the launch of the Before the Burn project fund.
The purpose of this fund is to invest in worthy projects and programs that promote preventative measures such as fire Awareness and Education. Please show your support by visiting the page and keeping an eye out for the official launch in weeks to come

NYC - UES - Center for Inter-American Relations
The Center for Inter-American Relations, formerly the Percy and Maud H. Pyne House, at 680 Park Avenue, was built by McKim, Mead & White in 1912. The southern terminus of four landmark townhouses on this block, called Pyne-Davison Blockfront due to the uniform architectural quality, this house was commissioned by the financier and philanthropist Percy Pyne and his wife in 1906, but construction didn't begin until 1910 when the railroad tracks along Park Avenue were finally covered. One of the earliest Park Avenue townhouses, it set an 18th century design precedent that was followed by the three succeeding houses on this block. In 1965 demolition began on this house and its two neighbors, but in response to public outcry, the Marquesa de Cuevas, grandaughter of John D. Rockefeller, purchased the houses and donated them to various organization.
The Center for Inter-American Relations was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1970.

Is Brazil part of Latin America or an island unto itself? As Nossa and Nuestra AmA©rica: Inter-American Dialogues demonstrates, this question has been debated by Brazilian and Spanish American intellectuals alike since the early nineteenth century, though it has received limited scholarly attention and its answer is less obvious than you might think. This book charts Brazil's evolving and often conflicted relationship with the idea of Latin America through a detailed comparative investigation of four crucial Latin American essayists: Uruguayan critic JosA© Enrique RodA?, Brazilian writer-diplomat Joaquim Nabuco, Mexican humanist Alfonso Reyes, and SA©rgio Buarque de Holanda, one of Brazil's preeminent historians. The author argues that Brazil plays a necessary - and necessarily problematic - role in the intellectual construction of "Latin America." Nossa and Nuestra AmA©rica will be of interest to scholars and students of Latin American and Luso-Brazilian literature and ideas, and to anyone interested in rethinking comparative approaches to literary texts written in Portuguese and Spanish.

If only real traffic jams looked this cool! The Traffic Jam Floor Puzzle from Melissa & Doug depicts a wild profusion of colorful vehicles all thrown together in stop-and-go traffic: cars, buses, taxis, mail trucks, limos, dump trucks, police cars, and more, with a plane, a train, and a boat in the background. (We're a little worried about the fire truck stuck in there – let's just hope it's not a big emergency.)
Playing with floor puzzles helps kids improve their fine motor skills, problem-solving skills, and spatial awareness, and the bold colors on this puzzle help kids to determine where the pieces belong. The puzzle pieces are extra-thick so they're easy for kids to manipulate, and their surface is easy to clean, to keep it looking nice. Plus, the subject matter of this Melissa & Doug puzzle is a great way to pull in kids who love vehicles, but may need some coaxing to try solving a jigsaw puzzle.
The Melissa & Doug Traffic Jam Floor Puzzle has 24 pieces, and measures 2' x 3' when completed. For ages 3 and up.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Subject matter, colors, challenge
Our 2 3/4 year old grandson totally loved this puzzle. He was able to complete it with the right amount of challenge and could not wait to do it again.

Austerymn are a band from the United Kingdom that started out more as a melodic doom/death metal band but have evolved into more of a straightforward death metal direction over the years and this is a review of their 2015 album "Sepilcrum Viventium" which was released by Memento Mori.
Dark sound effects start off the album and after the intro the music goes into a very melodic old school death/doom metal sound along with some growling vocals and the music has a very heavily influenced early 90's sound along with the songs bringing in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
Blast beats can be heard quite a bit throughout the recording along with some high pitched screams and the solos and leads are also very dark and melodic and the songs also bring in a great amount of old school Swedish and Finnish death metal influences into their musical style and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and the last track also brings in a few seconds of keyboards and spoken word parts.
Austerymn moves away from the melodic doom/death metal sound of earlier recording s to go back to a more 90's style of death metal that is very heavily rooted in the Nordic tradition, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death, despair, hope and suicide themes.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding recording from Austerymn and if you are a fan of melodic and old school death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Feeding the Grotesque" "Excarnation" "Necrolation" and "Riven". 8 out of 10.

Five companies announced June 12, 2014, that they have reached a basic agreement to consider launching a 430MW solar power generation project using agricultural land in Ukujima, Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan.
If realized, the project would be the world's largest solar project using agricultural land in use. The five companies are Photovolt Development Partners GmbH, which is a Germany-based photovoltaic project developer, Kyocera Corp, Kyudenko Corp, Orix Corp and Mizuho Bank Ltd.
When a solar project is implemented on agricultural land in use, props are set up on the land and solar panels are arranged above the land in a way that makes space between panels. As a result, sunlight is shared by the land and solar panels, realizing both agriculture and solar power generation. This is called "solar sharing."
Photovolt Development Partners, which is developing the project, expects a total investment of about ¥150 billion (approx US$1.47 billion). It aims to start construction in fiscal 2015 (from the beginning of April 2015 to the end of March 2016).
The area of the planned construction site is 6,300,000m2, which is quivalent to an area 134 times the size of the Tokyo Dome and 1/4 the size of the Ukujima island. The area and population of Ukujima are 24,930,000m2 and about 2,000, respectively. About 1,720,000 polycrystalline silicon solar panels manufactured by Kyocera will be set up.
Electricity generated will be transmitted to mainland Kyushu via a 60km-long undersea cable and sold to Kyushu Electric Power Co Inc. The expected amount of electricity generated is about 500,000MWh per year, which is equivalent to the amount consumed by about 138,800 households.
TeraSol G K, a special purpose company (SPC), will be a power producer for the project. Kyocera, Kyudenko and Orix will invest in the SPC. Though their investment ratios have not been decided yet, Kyocera will probably become the largest stakeholder.
Ukujima Mega Solar Park Service (UMSPS) Corp (Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture), which is responsible for negotiations on land, will rent agricultural land and deserted arable land from landowners and sublease it to TeraSol.
UMSPS will commission farm works to livestock farmers by using agricultural grant funding from TeraSol to contribute to the development of Ukujima with both agricultural and solar power generation businesses.
Kyocera and Kyudenko will be responsible for construction and operation. Mizuho Bank will coordinate the project finance for TeraSol.

Really?! Democrats Want United Negro College Fund to Reject Koch Brothers' $25 Million Donation
I can not figure this one out. Two wealthy philanthropist Charles and David Koch (Koch Industries) donates $25 million to the Untied Negro College fund and Democrats want the United Negro College fund to reject the donation because the philanthropist do not have the same political ideology as theirs.
The $25 million will send 3,000 poor kids to college with money left over to support the UNCF and historically black colleges.
Can someone explain this one to me?
Marybeth Gasman, a higher education professor at the University of Pennsylvania stated that the United Negro College Fund, which is a charitable organization dedicated to helping black people get college degrees, is "wrong" to accept this $25 million to help black people get college degrees, according to Inside Higher Ed. She states that the Koch brothers want to send these young black men and women to college to weaken the political interests of black Americans.
Can someone explain to me how educating young black men and woman weakens the political interest of black Americans?
Perhaps they believe if they become educated it will harm the Democrat party, now that is very interesting is it not?
Ms. Gasmen also stated that the $25 million donation will put the Koch brothers in a positive light, and that is a bad thing.
Wake up people and open your eyes to what some people in high positions in the Democrat party are really doing.

I looooove the long weekend. Today was all about relaxing at home and being lazy since I didn't have any work today. My son was finally baptized on Sunday and hubby bought me a Stussy handbag for my birthday. Whoo Hoo! Now I have a big mama purse that can fit all sorts of goodies. LOL. Happy Memorial Day!

I heard Betsy's been shedding as her winter coat has been growing in. With all the fluff missing, she's been shivering during her walks outside. I'm opposed to clothing on dogs unless it's for functional purposes. But if Betsy is going to be wearing a sweater, she may as well look good wearing one.
I knitted thick chunky light gray acrylic yarn. Using thick yarn made the project super fast. The sweater was knitted in separate pieces and sewn together. I used the pattern for this cable knit scarf which I modified to make the back panel. Buttons are large wooden spools as the craft store strangely didn't have large wooden buttons.
It was a bit of a snug fit and needed some more work on the collar but it didn't matter. Betsy hated it :|

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Casino regulators are investigating whether the 19-year-old daughter of late pop singer Whitney Houston gambled at a Las Vegas Strip resort.
State Gaming Control Board Chairman Mark Lipparelli told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that investigators are checking if Bobbi Kristina Brown played slot machines at the MGM Grand, and whether casino employees knew if she did.
The legal gambling age in Nevada is 21. Underage gambling is a misdemeanor, and resort owner MGM Resorts International could face fines.
Celebrity website TMZ.com posted a video Monday allegedly showing Brown playing slot machines while she was in town Sunday to attend the Billboard Music Awards for a segment honoring her mother.
Bobbi Kristina Brown is the daughter of Houston and entertainer Bobby Brown. Houston died in February.
Spokesman Gordon Absher says the casino is cooperating.

Boosting Jobs, Busting Congestion – The Plan For The Southern Suburbs
Major road projects and more than 4,000 jobs will be delivered to Perth's southern suburbs following a major infrastructure deal struck by the State and Federal Governments.
The McGowan Government has secured more than $552 million in funding for eight congestion-busting road projects for Perth's southern suburbs.
The eight projects will fix congestion hotspots on major arterial roads through the southern suburban road network and will create more than 4,000 jobs during construction.
Funding for the projects is the result of a new Commonwealth-State $2.3 billion funding arrangement that includes the full relocation of funding from the cancelled Perth Freight Link.
Federal funding for METRONET has also been secured with a combined $1.2 billion allocated to its delivery, including the rail extension between Thornlie and Cockburn.
Construction of the new Circle Line is due to commence in 2019 and will allow residents in the southern suburbs to travel on an east-west rail link for the first time, including a direct connection to the new Perth stadium.
Meanwhile, the schedule to duplicate Armadale Road will be brought forward.
The extension of Murdoch Drive to Kwinana Freeway and Roe Highway is one of three projects resulting in the renegotiation of the Roe 8 contract.
In recent weeks, the McGowan Government has worked with Main Roads Western Australia, the Roe 8 Alliance and the Commonwealth Government to bring forward alternative road projects to safeguard jobs for the local contractors and suppliers.
Southern suburbs projects:
- Murdoch Drive Connection – to Kwinana Freeway and Roe Highway ($100 million creating 700 jobs)
- Kwinana Freeway southbound on-ramp from Manning Road ($35 million creating 100 jobs)
- Kwinana Freeway Smart Freeways/Intelligent Transport Systems – Roe Highway to Narrows Bridge ($47 million creating 245 jobs)
- Armadale Road to North Lake Road Bridge ($237 million creating 1,400 jobs)
- Armadale Road Dual Carriageway – Anstey Road to Tapper Road ($145 million creating 850 jobs)
- Kwinana Freeway northbound widening – Russell Road to Roe Highway $45 million creating 340 jobs)
- Leach Highway – Upgrade of High Street between Carrington Street and Stirling Highway ($118 million creating 700 jobs)
- Karel Avenue upgrades – between Farrington Road and Berrigan Drive ($15 million creating 100 jobs)
Premier Mark McGowan has said, "this announcement confirms our commitment to promises made during the election and will also alleviate the congestion problems every motorist faces on the Kwinana Freeway.
"The southern suburbs transport network will be further bolstered once METRONET is extended from Thornlie to Cockburn and again when the rail is extended to Byford."

The month of October is flying by! Cannot believe it is almost half over already and we are only 15 days from Halloween, 37 days from Thanksgiving, and 70 days from Christmas! As I continue to reflect during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I thought it may be helpful to share some of my favorite anti-cancer foods as well as some of my favorite reading resources related to this topic. Many of you know family and friends battling some type of cancer and much of this information may be valuable to you and your loved ones.
Here's a BRIEF synopsis of some of my favorite anti-angiogenic foods (anti-angiogenic means "inhibit the growth of new blood vessels" – so these are foods that may help inhibit the spread of cancer by inhibiting the growth of new blood vessels). Some of my favorite anti-cancer veggies include: onions, leeks, garlic, shallots, scallions, spinach, kale, bok choy, broccoli, maitake mushrooms, watercress, swiss chard, pumpkin, and butternut squash.
A few of my favorite anti-angiogenic spices and herbs include: turmeric, curry, chives, rosemary, ginger, basil, and nutmeg.
There are also delicious fruits and nuts that exhibit anti-cancer properties: black raspberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, tart cherries, grapefruit, pomegranates, walnuts, almonds and pecans.
My favorites are only a PARTIAL listing of the many foods that have been shown to have benefits in fighting different types of cancers. There are some great reading resources out there for those of you who would like to learn more. "The AntiCancer: A New Way of Life" by David Servan-Schreiber, MD is this physician's 15 year journey through brain cancer. (Ultimately, he battled brain cancer for 20 years!) He describes what makes cancer cells thrive and what inhibits their growth; how to structure our diets around nutrient dense cancer fighting foods; the role of Vitamin D in fighting cancer; and much more. Learn more about Dr. Servan-Schreiber and his book here.
"The Cancer Fighting Kitchen" by Rebecca Katz is a wonderful collection of nourishing, big-flavor recipes for people going through cancer treatment and recovery. She teaches patients and caregivers how to prepare powerhouse meals, using key ingredients, to build a cancer fighting culinary toolkit. Rebecca is a nutritional educator at one of our country's leading cancer wellness centers and she has spent many years helping physicians and patients come together to eat well to maximize cancer treatments, minimize side effects and improve outcomes.
Two grads from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), where I recently graduated from, just released a book called "Kicking Cancer in the Kitchen." Annette Ramke and Kendall Scott are both cancer survivors so they know exactly what it is like to deal with the "Big C." Their book is a collection of their experiences and emotions surrounding their individual cancer journeys. It is also a collection of cancer fighting recipes to soothe and nourish during and after treatment.
The recipes contained in all the books mentioned here are wonderful for those of you NOT fighting cancer as well!
Lastly, I wanted to take a moment to mention a farm in SE WI that is dedicated to growing powerful anti-angiogenic foods. NuGenesis Farm is a fabulous place to visit, for adults and children, to have some fun creating healthy pizzas, learning about anti-cancer foods, and discovering how to prepare these foods in your kitchen. Founded in 2010 by three-time cancer survivor Kathy Bero, NuGenesis helps you prevent disease, support your body through a chronic illness and prevent recurrence through the food you choose to eat. Take a moment to check out the NuGenesis Farm website and learn all about what they are offering our community. As it happens, October is also National Pizza Month – the perfect time to make a trip to the farm and make spectacular pizzas in their amazing outdoor pizza oven.
In two short weeks, the world of pink will fade away – the NFL will lose it's pink shoes, towels, gloves and hats; KOHL's department store will return to it's maroon colored lettering; make-up and nailpolish lines will move into the true fall/winter colors; my local grocery store will lose it's large rack of pink attire at the front door; and my 3″ lashes and pink hair (for a recent fashion show to benefit BC) will be long gone. But for those who continue to battle breast cancer – the pink remains.
If you know someone who is battling breast cancer, or any other type of cancer for that matter, I encourage you to check out a couple of the resources outlined here and share the knowledge! There is so much that can be done to beat cancer with your fork.

I love shopping online. And when it's available, ship to store for free beats out shipping costs all day long. But if you're going to automate your customer notifications with a robo-call, let's get it right.
My phone rang just now and when I answered, a perfectly pleasant robo voice said my order was delivered to the store on 4/25 and it not picked up within 10 days it would be returned.
What's my beef? That's the first notification of any kind since I got the email confirmation that I had sufficiently pressed the submit order button. I have been watching for an email. I have been to the mall since 4/25. So I'm grumpy about their service and it didn't need to happen. This is a merchant that I had pretty much forgotten for years. And then I saw the perfect, and I do mean perfect jacket I had been waiting for my entire adult life. So I went to all the trouble of checking my online account, making sure the cc was in my wallet, and made a trip to the store to find it. Nope. Spent some other $$$ but no jacket. So I came home and ordered it and have been anxiously waiting for it.
I am too busy until tomorrow now to go to the store, so I am hoping against hope I don't forget. Merchants, if you're going to automate customer notifications, include one that tells them you did what they paid you to do please!

I've always had a great love for coffee, but it's turned into an obsession now that I'm back in school. I get up at 6 every day and usually go to bed around midnight, so I definitely need my caffeine fix every morning. The problem is that this obsession can get a little pricey. My amazingly thoughtful boyfriend was kind enough to get me a generous Starbucks gift card as a going away gift when I moved to DC. While it was much more than he should have spent, Starbucks can quickly add up, so I use it only on days when it's absolutely necessary. Every other morning, I bring my own. I made a trip to Target to get a coffee maker and travel mug, both on sale of course. I buy Starbucks coffee, which is about $10/pound. Not bad considering that it lasts me around a month. At my local market, I found flavored syrup for a very reasonable price. Now, each morning, I make my own tasty coffee with vanilla, hazelnut, cinnamon – whatever mood strikes me that day. I'd estimate that filling my travel mug costs around 10 cents per day. This is a vast improvement from $5 per day! So, get out there, invest in some reasonably priced supplies that will last a long time, play around, and you'll figure out how to make a cheap tasty treat to start your day!
Month: October 2007
Online classifieds
I mentioned in an earlier post that my new apartment was a little barren. It's not that I don't have nice things, it's just a surprisingly huge apartment! I worked for a few years before going back to school, so I had some time to acquire some furniture that made me happy, with the exception of one very important piece…a dining room table. One great way to have a cheap, fun night is game night – I haven't been able to plan this without the requisite table. I finally decided that my roommates weren't going to come through for me (even though I've provided EVERYTHING in this apartment), so I took it upon myself to find something nice. You know I'm on an extremely tight budget, so I had to be creative. Then, I found the world of online, local classifieds. There are several sites that do this, craigslist being my favorite. You can search by city and by type of item you're looking for. I'd recommend opening any ad where the people say they are moving. This means they're usually desperate. Desperation means low prices for you! And remember, you always have room to negotiate. The prices in online classifieds should never be the bottom line. So, lucky for me, I spent about 3 days looking on craigslist and found a great table and chair set listed for $100 total. I bargained them down to $80 with the seat cushions thrown in as an extra freebie. They advertised that they had to be out of their apartment by the weekend (it was Wednesday), so I hit them just at the right moment when they were desperate to sell. It's a win-win – and now I can finally have my super frugal game night!
Happy Hour
Living in a big city while in school can be extremely frustrating. I love eating out, trying new foods, drinking wine and martinis, but that's difficult to do on a budget…until I learned about happy hour! Just a few metro stops away from me is Bethesda. I've heard they have the most restaurants per square mile in the US. Who knows if that's actually true, but I'd believe it. Everyday, just about every place there has happy hour. You can search online to look at menus and specials to find the places that suit you best. Personally, I like to go somewhere where I can get dinner (not just drinks) and not spend too much. Most of my friends are done with school and have pretty impressive jobs, so sometimes our differences in budget limit what I can do with them. When I want to see them, I just take charge, find a great place online that is affordable for happy hour, and plan the outing. This way, I get to hang out and enjoy great food, drink, and company without hurting my wallet too much. And even with great salaries, they never mind the savings. Just last night, I enjoyed an amazing pizza topped with goat cheese and crispy prosciutto and a glass of pinot noir for a total of $8…not bad for such an amazing meal! So, wherever you live, go find a great happy hour and enjoy yourself!
