The File on the Tsar
with former BBC colleague Tom Mangold
The true fate of Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra and their five children remains one of the greatest mysteries of modern history. Were the last Emperor of Russia and his family really massacred at Ekaterinburg during the night of July 16th, 1918?
For two BBC journalists, who usually covered current, modern, events, the case was a highly unusual assignment. Information reached Summers and Mangold, however - from a senior British political source - that the true story was not as recorded in most history books. Their investigation lasted four years and took them worldwide. They talked with relatives of the Romanovs and with people who had known them; they listened to historians and pathologists; they worked through a welter of source material, unearthed the seven-volume dossier that Nikolai Sokolov, the White Russian-appointed Special investigator, had compiled.
The result is a book packed with revelations. It discloses the roles played at long-distance by Britain's King George V and Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm; it analyses the unresolved case of the woman who claimed to the Tsar's youngest daughter Anastasia - a supposed sole survivor; it demonstrates that the White investigation suppressed vital information suggesting that the Romanov females were not killed in the infamous cellar but survived - in Communist hands - for at least several months afterwards.
On initial publication in 1976,
The File on the Tsar
became an international news story. Then, in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, new headlines trumpeted the discovery of a gravesite, of bones and skulls that were supposedly those of most of the Romanov family. Other remains, surfacing later, were said to be those of two children not yet accounted for. DNA evidence, it was said, established that the 1918 massacre had occurred more or less as historians long asserted.
That, however, turned out not to be the end of the saga. As the centenary of the Romanov's disappearance passed, a Russian investigative committee was still wrangling over whether or not the reading of the DNA evidence was valid, whether the human remains found are truly the authentic remains of the Tsar and his family. As of mid-2019 - and not least because of the discrepancies and official chicanery exposed in
The File on the Tsar
- the case remains open.

It is clear that new technologies like electronic document management programs can improve efficiency and reduce overall costs, but like any system, security measures must be taken. Computers for example, allow anyone to do their taxes, create contracts and surf the web. However, computers without efficient anti-virus and malware protection leave room for a variety of dangers.
In the health care industry, a majority of practices are in the midst of transitioning from paper records to electronic. This shift was driven by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act in 2009. Hospitals and doctor offices that made the change would be eligible to receive financial incentives if they met the requirements the government has laid out for these programs. Since the mandate, many practices across the United States have experienced a data breach.
Though these measures could be prevented through computer encryption or storing data in a secure cloud, time and again the Department of Health and Human Services has received notices of data breaches that involve 500 or more patients, Healthcare IT News reported. Since 2009, information from more than 27 million patients has been compromised.
At DeVita HealthCare Partners, an employee laptop was stolen out of their car. Though the practice has a "business-wide encryption policy," the organization's press release said that the laptop's security measures were "unintentionally deactivated."
About 11,500 patients records were on the laptop. Containing their insurance data, diagnoses and names–as well as Social Security Numbers for 375 individuals. In response to the attacks, DeVita spokesman Skip Thurman said the organization "has reviewed its encryption practices and implemented additional safeguards to protect against any future instances of non-compliance with our encryption policies and procedures."
Because this continues to be an issue at many medical facilities, administrative staff members may want to consider reaching out to business continuity consultants who specialize in disaster recovery operations. This way, once a breach occurs, the staff is prepared to respond to patients and the media on the incident as soon as possible.

Lawrence Callender
Brief artist statement.
Lawrence Callender is a contemporary artist whose work incorporates elements of expressionism, minimalism and surrealism. His work has been greatly influenced by street art, East Asian films, and a wide genre of music. Lawrence s work is also influenced by his aesthetic appreciation of Chinese and Japanese art. In his work he captures the aesthetics of minimalism and the Zen-like tranquility prevalent in Chinese and Japanese art by the use of organic shapes and colours. His work often depicts detailed subjects set against minimalist backgrounds of flat shapes and muted colours. He admires iconic photography and the vision it takes to transform the apparently prosaic into the extraordinary. Lawrence's objective is to bring this same quality to his work. Lawrence currently lives in Ottawa where he works as graphic designer and freelance illustrator.
"One thing that I've come to appreciate working digitally is how forgiving the entire editing process is. It gives you the freedom to experiment and if you feel that you've gone too far, go back a few steps and start again."

Gov. Rick Perry is set to unveil an energy plan for the country today that he says will unleash 1.2 million jobs while unlocking America's oil, gas and coal resources.
"We're sitting on a treasure trove of energy in this country," Perry said on CNBC's "The Kudlow Report" Thursday night. "There's 300 years worth of reserves underneath the land of America, and that's how we're going to get America working again."
Perry is set to reveal more details during an 9:30 a.m. Central event at a steel plant in West Mifflin, Pa. But the Republican presidential hopeful has already made clear that the energy proposal is the cornerstone of his plan for reviving the U.S. economy.
"Americans want to hear a conversation about who is going to get this country back working again," Perry said on NBC's "Today Show" this morning. "We've got to get this country focused on getting back to work, and we're laying out a plan that does that."
If elected, Perry has promised to use his first 100 days in the White House to roll back Obama administration policies he says have "curtailed energy production," including "job-killing" regulations imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency.
He also has vowed to expand oil and gas drilling by allowing development in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and along the Atlantic Coast. In a Union-Leader op-ed, Perry also insisted that "we can create hundreds of thousands of jobs and increase our oil output by 25 percent if we fully develop oil and gas shale formations in the Northeast, mountain West and Southwest."
Perry has repeatedly stressed that his energy goals can be imposed swiftly and unilaterally — without any sign-off by Congress.
But a statutory ban blocks drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Although lawmakers got rid of a statutory moratorium blocking drilling along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts in 2008, a federal law still bars that exploration in the eastern Gulf of Mexico through 2022.
And much of the nation's shale gas resources are on state — not federal — lands, limiting how much power any president would have to spur production there. For instance, New York residents and policy makers have been divided over how — and whether — to allow natural gas drilling of the Marcellus Shale in that state.
Before the 2010 oil spill, President Barack Obama was on track to sell oil and gas drilling leases along the Atlantic seaboard and in Arctic waters near Alaska. But he has since reversed course, and his Interior Department is now finalizing a 2012-2017 leasing plan for the outer continental shelf that does not include auctions of those areas.
The Obama administration has pledged to sell leases in Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve by the end of this year — responding to criticisms from congressional Republicans and industry leaders that the 23-million acre territory has gone untapped for too long.
Perry is including development of the ANPR in his energy plan.
Although presidents enjoy wide latitude to decide what federal lands and waters should be auctioned off for oil and gas development, there are legal constraints on the process. For instance, federal law requires offshore lease sales be included in a broader outer continental shelf lease plan before those auctions can take place. The current plan expires June 30 next year, after two more auctions of Gulf of Mexico leases.
Under a federal law known as the National Environmental Policy Act, the government is also required to study the environmental implications of proposed sales before those auctions can take place. Skipping those studies could invite lawsuits that might delay exploration for months, if not longer.
That's exactly the kind of problem that snagged the government's 2008 sale of nearly 500 leases to drill in the Chukchi Sea near Alaska. After conservationists and native Alaskan organizations successfully challenged the sale as invalid — because sufficient environmental studies weren't done beforehand — a federal district court ordered the government to redo those assessments. Obama's Interior Department just decided to uphold those leases earlier this month, clearing the way for Shell Oil Co., and other companies to pursue drilling in the Arctic waters.
Perry brushed aside those legal challenges today and insisted he could reproduce Texas' "tort reform" efforts on the national stage.
"I'm not sure that you have to have that type of legal system that locks down the opening up of our federal lands and waters," he said on the "Today Show."
Perry is also hammering on a popular theme among Republican presidential hopefuls in targeting the Environmental Protection Agency and regulations it has issued or is proposing that govern pollution from power plants, refiners and industrial facilities. He accuses the Obama administration of "being in bed with the environmental activists" and imposing ever-higher regulatory barriers that are killing jobs.
Perry said he would swiftly "pull back all of the job-killing regulations that this administration has sent forward . . . in conjunction with an activist environmental community working hand in hand with this administration."
Environmentalists say Perry's energy plan is a dangerous continuation of the "Drill, baby, drill" motto and politics that dominated the 2008 election.
Daniel J. Weiss, a senior fellow with the Center for American Progress Action Fund, said that in going after jobs tied to oil and gas exploration and rolling back environmental regulations, Perry would be thwarting promising jobs tied to clean energy.
"Gutting health safeguards from air pollution . . . is a recipe for more premature deaths and hospitalizations, with few additional jobs and no investment in the fast-growing clean tech sector," Weiss said. "The Perry petroleum plan looks backwards by reviving the Bush-Cheney plan developed in secret with big oil companies rather than providing a path to cleaner, more efficient energy production and consumption."
Speaking at a Politico event this morning, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson warned against proposals to undo environmental regulations.
"Poll after poll shows that's not where the American people are," she said. "They do not believe that jobs are tied to weakening environmental protections and taking the environmental cop off the beat."
Check back on FuelFix later this morning for more coverage of Perry's energy plan.

Bowie House Fire - Peachtree Lane

Prince George's County Firefighters and Paramedics were alerted to a report of a fire at a Bowie home in the 1800 block of Peachtree Lane this morning. Firefighters arrived to find a house well involved with fire.
Fire/EMS units were alerted at about 5:00 am and arrived to find a 3100 square foot, 2-story, single family home with heavy fire showing. The home occupant, an adult male, had escaped safely prior to the Fire Department arrival. A combination of a working smoke alarm and neighbors banging on the door alerted the occupant who escaped without injury.
A "Task Force" was sounded early in the incident which summoned additional firefighters and apparatus. There were 35 firefighter/medics on the scene battling the fire. Due to heavy fire conditions the bulk of the fire was extinguished from the safety of exterior positions. The rear wall of the structure, the main and second floors as well as portions of the sides of the house, attic and roof either were burned away or collapsed into the basement of the house.
It required nearly an hour to extinguish the bulk of the fire. No injuries were reported. Two residents normally reside at the house; however, only one person was at home this morning. The displaced occupants will be staying with other family members as this house is a total loss. The cause of the fire is under investigation with fire loss estimated at $400,000 to the structure and contents.
Having a working smoke alarm increases the chances of surviving a home fire by 50%. Every home, by law, is required to have a working smoke alarm. The Fire/EMS Department recommends a working smoke alarm on every level of your home and if you sleep with your bedroom doors closed; install a working smoke alarm in your bedroom.
This home on Peachtree Lane in the Tall Oaks Crossing community was permitted and built in the late 1980's. In the early 1990's a law went into effect in Prince George's requiring all newly constructed residences to have a residential sprinkler system installed.

Frantically im so enjoying this book it has become one of my fav. Reading delicacies. I,in all understanding of a review,recommend this book for every library -- starting point: manybooks library. Thank you.
Good lord! I'ave been out of place all this while this book is something more than terrific!
Just like 99% of the Earth's population, I thought all Sir A. C. Doyle has written are mystery novels, especially that of Sherlock Holmes short stories and novels. Picking this up in the library, I was pleasently surprised by this story.
It's a story of a band of adventurers going to an undsicovered part of the Amazon where dinosaurs still exist. It has moments of trial and tribulation, high adventure, and pure child-like wonder.
This book is a great adventure novel, more geared towards a younger audience, but adults will enjoy this nonetheless.

Great book!!! I have never seen or heard of the the TV series, but I am sure that it can't compare to this story. This is the first book of Sir Arther Conan Doyle's that I have read and it just became one of my favorite books. This book is as much fun or even more fun than any of Michael Crichton's Jurasic Park books. Download and read it. You won't regret it.
The Lost World is a good book for fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work, with a decent plot, good characters, and sufficient details to keep the reader amused. Many people who have seen the TV series are sometimes disappointed with the book, however the series was definitely based on it. I found the constant fighting between the two professors to be annoying, however some may find it amusing. A good book, but it could have been better.

Policy can be defined as planned action of an entity whether individual, or a public or private institution to achieve a specific objective within the context of an environment. Policy formulation is pre-requisite for all types of management. Yehezkel Dror defines policies as "general directives on the main lines of action to be followed". The objectives of an organization are concretized in the form of public policies. Paul Appleby mentioned "The essence of public administration is policy formulation". Public policies are those which are developed by the governmental bodies & agencies though the nongovernmental actors like private bodies or voluntary organization also influence in the making of public policies. David Easton says public policies differ from other, policies due to the existence of "authorities" in political system e. g. executive, judiciary, administrators etc.
As an academic pursuit in the social sciences, public policy emerged in 1950s. In the past, the studies of public policies was dominated by scholars of political science who concentrated on the institutional structure and philosophy of government. The public policies per se were rarely the subjects of study. Thomas Dye, a leading scholar in the field of policy analysis says that traditionally political science described the institutions in which public policy was formulated but the relationships between the institutions and the content of public policies were unexplored but today the focus is shifting to the content of public policy. Today the study of public policy has evolved into what is virtually a new branch of social sciences - "policy sciences". Harold Lasswell was the first scholar to formulate the concept of policy sciences way back in 1951
"Public" - The Essence of Public Policy
Public Policy is concerned with those areas of policy which are labeled as "public" as opposed to the "private" spheres. The public comprises that domain of human activity which requires governmental intervention or some sort of common action. Public administration is an instrument for securing public interest rather than private interest. The civil servant is supposed to be the rational functionary whose main job is to carry out the will of the elected representatives. The public dimension is generally referred to 'public ownership' or control for 'public purpose'. However, there has always been a conflict between what is public and what is private. W. F. Baber argues that there are ten key differences between public and private sector. These are:
- It faces more complex and ambiguous tasks
- It has more problems in implementing its decisions
- It employs more people with a wider range of motivations
- It is more concerned with securing opportunities or capacities
- It is more concerned with compensating for market failure
- It engages in activities with greater symbolic significance
- It is held to stricter standards of commitment and legality
- It has a greater opportunity to respond to issues of fairness
- It must operate or appear to operate in the public interest
- It must maintain minimal levels of public support
The Concept of "Policy"
Like the idea of public, the concept of policy is also not a precise term. It may take the form of
- A declaration of goals
- A declaration of course of action
- A declaration of general purpose
- An authoritative decision
Policy is a purposive course of action taken or adopted by those in power in pursuit of certain goals or objectives. Public policies are those policies which are adopted and implemented by government bodies and officials. David Easton defines public policy as the authoritative allocation of values for the whole society. Thomas Dye states "Public Policy is whatever governments choose to do or not to do". Robert Lineberry also says that it is what governments do and fail to do for their citizens.
Goals and Policies
Goals are the long term aims of the organization which are to be achieved. They are quite permanent and they do not change even over the years. It is through the achievement of goals that an organization achieves social legitimacy and once the organization abandons its goals, it loses its members and hence the death of oraanization occurs.
Policies on the other hand lie between goals and the day to day decisions. Policy is a short term decision taken in order to translate the objectives or goals of the organization into reality. A policy hence acts as a guide for the day to day programmes. Hence the objectives of the organization which are often vague are concretized through the policies.
Features of Public Policy
Public Policy has the following prominent features:
- One public policy extends to all the sections of the population. It shows "Universality" of public policies.
- Only governmental policies involve legal obligations. That is, public policies have societal legitimacy. They have legal sanctions behind them.
- Public policies can be coercive in nature i. e. only public policies can impose sanctions legitimately on the violators.
- It is purposely prepared and does not come by chance. Public policies are result oriented and are not random in nature.
- It is what governments do and what subsequently happens.
- Public policies can either be positive or negative. A negative policy can be in the form of not taking any action on a matter on which governmental opinion or action is called for.
Relevance of the Study of Public Policy
Study of public policy in the field of public administration is of direct relevance to all the practitioners, academicians and the public. For the academicians the relevance of the study is to gain an understanding of the causes and consequences of policy decisions. They view public policy as a dependant variable and study as to how environment and the surrounding political system shape it. Similarly, they also analyse by viewing public policy as an independent variable and then studying its impact on the environment and the surrounding political system.
Similarly the professionals study public policy from the point of view of understanding the causes and consequences of public policy. This study permits them to apply the knowledge of social sciences to find out solutions for practical problems in order to make the policy a success.
Study of public policy is also relevant for the public. If the citizens are enlightened then it is ensured that "right policies" are adopted to achieve "right goals". It also improves the level of political awareness among the people and hence improves the quality of public policy. The essence is that their knowledge better equips them to expect and demand right policies.

God kills a LOLCAT and a member of McDougal's family. So this is it: blogogenesis.
"Discussion conserves; invention requires rapid intution and being as light as weightlessness."
– Michel Serres
So then, how to break the silence, the entropy? How to avert the atrophy of communication? These first steps are always clumsy, awkward, ungainly. I suppose grace is an emergent property, something co-constructed between bodies and contexts. The carving of that niche is an interestingly symbiotic and parallel process: adapt and adapt to. Therein lies the sacred violence of the double bind and the scapegoat of the double-bound.
"I always cherished the hope that life and meaning were one. Present-day thought is leading us in the direction of the valley of death, and it is cataloguing the dry bones one by one. All of us are in this valley but it is up to us to resuscitate meaning by relating all the texts to one another without exception, rather than stopping at just a few of them. All issues of 'psychological health' seem to me to take second place to a much greater issue – that of meaning which is being lost or threatened on all sides but simply awaits the breath of the Spirit to be reborn."

George Zimmerman Net Worth
The Unexpected Truth About George
Over the previous 15 months contributions have poured out not to the family of the dead kid Trayvon Martin but to the alledged shooter Zimmerman. While on bond based on his site donations have reached over $33,000 per month. He used $10,000 to pay for his defense lawyers Mark O'Mara and Don West who were able to get a jury of 6 girls to find him not guilty. On top of the contributions which may have surpassed over $150,000 thus far Zimmerman has also signed a book deal with a major publishing company. The deal isn't yet set as Zimmerman along with his wife are seeking for an even bigger deal that may reach over $2 million for his characterization of what occurred the night of the shooting and his personal life following the conviction.
Before the shooting George moved to Sanford, Florida along with his wife in 2009. He worked as an insurance underwriter. Zimmerman was also a full-time pupil and completing his final term at Seminole State College. Analyzing Criminal Justice Zimmerman told Police officers following the shooting his goal was to become a Judge. He was not able to complete his Associate's degree after failing one of his classes.
Zimmerman comes form a multicultural family. His dad is German and his mother was born in Peru. He is listed as Hispanic but his mother also is mixed with black ancestry. Before the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in 2011, Zimmerman had also had run ins with all the law which was revealed through several media outlets. He was charged with attacking a police officer and resisting arrest. The episode occurred while Zimmerman was intoxicated at a pub. His ex-fiance also filed a restraining order against him the same year accusing him of threatening her with physical violence.
He was unemployeed and became an unofficial neighborhood watchmen in the Refuge at Twin Lakes.
His trial started Tuesday June 25th with an all female jury. The trial has garnered tremendous media interest and has raised the discussion about racial profiling across America.

What Is An Ice Cream Maker?
The above description is a good answer to the question, but in today's world, there is usually more to one of these machines than a container, a wooden bucket, and a hand crank. The purpose of the appliance is to make ice cream, but among the different types on the market, there are some which make other types of frozen desserts as well. You may choose an appliance that makes a soft frozen dessert, dispensing it in the same manner as a commercial appliance does. You can choose among large-capacity makers and smaller capacity makers, or you might want to invest in an attachment that can be used with a mix master. Such an attachment will usually feature double blades and a bowl that holds both containers to be filled with the mixture and the ice that is needed to surround the container.
You may choose to invest in an appliance that makes both ice cream and frozen yogurt. A multipurpose machine will not always produce the highest quality; it will make one of the two deserts better than it does the other, but that is not a law etched in stone. If you do a little comparison shopping, you might just find a multipurpose machine that makes a better product than anything else on the market can do.
There are also gelato-making machines for those who regard a serving of gelato as the ultimate eating experience.
While most of these machines you find on the market today are powered by electricity, you can still find hand-crank machines. Hand-crank machines are still the first choice of many, who swear they produce the best stuff. The challenge then is to find a machine that makes the best frozen dessert with the least amount of effort. Finding such a machine might be a possibility. On the other hand, there may not be a middle ground.
Top 5 Best Ice Cream Makers 2020-2021
1. Cuisinart ICE-30BC Pure Indulgence Ice Cream Maker
The first machine on the list is the infamous Cuisinart ICE 30BC. There is a reason why this is the bestselling ice cream maker currently. Look at its features and reviews online and you will see that you cannot go wrong with purchasing one.
- Produces a great tasting ice cream that matches in quality the 200 dollar machines on the market.
- It is easy to assemble and use out of the box.
- There is a feature that will turn off the machine if it detects overheating (not something that happens anyway but you will also be glad to hear that it comes with a 3 year full warranty).
- Comes with a manual full of delicious recipes.
- Looks great and is more compact than the Cuisinart ICE-100.
- The only downside that I can think of is that you will need to pre-freeze the container unlike some of the more expensive options.
This will be my top pick if you are looking for an inexpensive machine that produces great ice cream comparable in mixture to the ones produced by the 200-300 dollar ice cream makers.
2. Cuisinart ICE-100 Compressor Ice Cream and Gelato Maker
If you would like to be able to make real gelato at home – Look no further, this is the machine for you!
- Less noisy than the other Cuisinart machines on the list.
- The container is easy to empty from all the ice cream within it.
- It comes with a gelato paddle. You are basically buying two machines in one
- You can add toppings while the machine is working with the easily removable lid.
- The stainless finish looks great and upmarket. It does look like you have bought an expensive machine for your kitchen.
- You do not have to pre-freeze the bowl.
- There is a 10 minute Keep Cool feature that will keep the ice cream or gelato cool even after the machine stops.
- If you are after a basic ice cream maker that you will only use once or twice per year there are cheaper options out there.
- The machine is on the large side. So keep that in mind if you do not have much space in the kitchen.
If you are looking for a premium machine that comes with handy features such as inbuilt freezer and is able to produce gelato you cannot do much better than the Cuisinart ICE-100 Compressor Ice Cream and Gelato Maker.
3. Lello 4080 Musso Lussino 1.5 Quart Ice Cream Maker
This is probably the best ice cream maker in terms of quality and features at the moment. The Lello 4080 will truly amaze you as it is not your average home ice cream machine but rather a professional unit that you can use to make everything from ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt and frozen drinks.
- You do not need to pre-freeze a bowl and can make ice cream whenever you feel like it without preparation.
- The machine automatically stops if the content is ready by monitoring the hardness of the mixture.
- Everything is made of metal unlike the less expensive machines – the machines not looks really professional.
- The price.
- It weights 38 pounds – a problem if you do not have enough space in your kitchen and need to move it each time you use it.
If money was no object for me I will definitely go for this machine.
4. Cuisinart ICE-21 Ice Cream Maker
This is the older version of the Cuisinart ICE-30BC Pure Indulgence. It is a good choice if you are looking to spend as little money as possible. This machine will produce similar results to its newer version.
- Cheapest option out of the 5.
- Makes ice cream with a good mixture that is comparable to the one of the new version.
- Has a cheap plastic feel to it.
You may want to invest a bit more money and get the Cuisinart ICE-30BC which has a more premium feel to it and produces a slightly better ice cream based on the customer reviews. I would personally spend the extra few dollars and go for the Cuisinart ICE-30BC.
5. Donvier Manual Ice Cream Maker
This Donvier Manual Ice Cream Maker also gets a good amount of positive feedback in Amazon and the internet overall. Lets take a look the the pros and cos and see if it matches the quality of the other machines on the list:
- It is not expensive.
- Good customer reviews.
- It is really compact – 9-1/2 inches high and 8 inches in diameter
- Only produces one quart of ice cream per batch.
- There are some bad reviews online – for example, there is a mention that the machine actually takes up to an hour in some cases and not the 20 minutes listed on the packaging.
To be honest, I would not choose this ice cream maker over any of the other 4 on the list. If affordability is in your mind, go for the Cuisinart ICE30. It basically sells for the same price but has better overall performance, better customer reviews and produces twice the amount of ice cream in one serving. It is really a no-brainer.
Why Buy An Ice Cream Maker?
You are probably thinking – why go through all the trouble when the stores are full of dozens of different types of ice creams? Well, I can personally think of at least 3 reasons why you are better off buying an ice cream machine:
- Health – If you go to the store and look at the ingredients of any of the ice creams on display you will probably think twice before purchasing it. Nowadays companies mostly care about their profit margin and fill up ice creams with affiliate ingredients that are cheaper and preserve the product for longer. If you would like to have a healthy lifestyle you will definitely have to look at producing some of your favorite treats yourself.
- Cost – Not only can you enjoy a healthy treat but you can do it at the fraction of the cost as well. It is estimated that you can produce the same amount of ice cream for half the price if you purchase the ingredients yourself.
- Taste – Believe it or not you can actually make ice cream that is better tasting and has a superior texture by using one of the 5 machines listed above.
Types Of Ice Cream Makers
There are four types of ice cream makers – manual, pre-freeze bowl, inbuilt freezer and gelato makers. The decision on what type will be best suited for you and your family will entirely depend on your needs and preferences. I would personally leave the manual ice cream machines out of the running because they require a lot of effort and additional ingredients e.g. ice and rock salt.
Pre-Freeze Bowl
Most of the ice cream makers available on the market come with a bowl that you will need to freeze in the fridge for 12-24 hours before you can use the machine. The pros of getting one of those are that they are cheaper than the machines with in-built freezer and are generally smaller in size.
Therefore this is probably the best option for you if you are looking for an inexpensive machine that will not take much real estate in your kitchen.
In-Built Freezer
If you would like to be able to make ice cream without the need to plan and pre-freeze a bowl there are two options:
– you can keep the pre-freeze bowl in the fridge at all times (if you have space)
– or you can buy an ice cream machine with a built-in freezer.
The only problem with these machines is that they do tend to be bigger and are usually a few times more expensive than the ice cream makers that use a pre-freeze bowl.
Gelato Makers
Gelato is ice cream that originated from Italy. The main difference is that Gelato is made with less fat (usually less than 10%) while the typical ice cream has between 18 and 26% in general. In addition, Gelato has higher density, the reason for that is that it does not have air added to it like normal ice cream.
What To Look For When Buying An Ice Cream Machine
Everyone would have different needs and priorities. However, I believe the following 5 are the features that you need to most definitely consider when on the quest of purchasing an ice cream machine:
- Capacity – one of the main features that you will need to consider is how much ice cream would you need to produce in one sitting.
- Looks– It may be funny to some but the appearance of my kitchen appliances is serious business to me. I have spent thousands of dollars on my kitchen and don't mind spending a few extra bucks if it will mean that I will have an elegant looking ice cream rather than some of the cheaper plastic versions that are not reliable anyway.
- Size– This may not be important to you based on your kitchen size. However, for some of us with smaller kitchens, it is indeed a big deal. When you have to find a place for blenders, juicers, etc you get to appreciate the compact size of some equipment.
- Reliability– Where is the point of investing in an ice cream maker if it will break down in a few months? The 5 ice cream machines that I listed as the top 5 currently available all come with a long warranty and based on the customers' reviews on the internet have no known faults. When purchasing my own ice cream maker I spent hours researching and read each individual review in order to make sure that I do not get any surprises.
- Reviews– the best thing you can do before deciding on which machine to purchase is to look for reviews online. The main aim of this website, for example, is to be a complete guide for choosing, buying and using an ice cream machine. Reading people's experience with a certain product will surely in most cases provide you with a good understanding of the above 4 points and point any flows a product may have. This is why I actually provided links in the table above that will take you to the Amazon page of each one of what I believe are the 5 products out there currently.
Enjoying ice cream can become a guilt-free habit if you buy a good ice cream maker and make sure that you use healthy ingredients. Any of the above 5 machines will do the job, choosing which one to get will depend on personal preference.
I would advise the following:
- If you are looking for the machine with best overall reviews that also comes at an affordable price – go for Cuisinart ICE-30BC Pure Indulgence.
- If you are looking for a machine that will allow you to also make gelato and comes with an inbuilt freezer – go for Cuisinart ICE-100 Compressor Ice Cream and Gelato Maker.
- If money is no object and you are looking for the best machine based on technical specifications – go for Lello 4080 Musso Lussino 1.5 Quart Ice Cream Maker.
Whichever option you go for I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. It is that simple! The only thing left for you to do now is choosing which one, order it online for the best price and start enjoying the actual process of producing healthy ice cream.

The U.S. State Department on Monday issued a new travel warning for Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, while Secretary of State John Kerry announced a $47 million aid package for Gaza amid growing conflict in the region.
The warning, which replaces the one issued in February of this year, recommends U.S. citizens postpone non-urgent travel to the region if possible, and it upholds previous warnings against traveling to the Gaza Strip, where U.S. government employees are not allowed to travel.
Because of security concerns, the embassy in Tel Aviv is working with a reduced staff and limited service, while the embassy in Jerusalem is operating as normal. The full travel warning contains additional details about which areas and neighborhoods within Israel have been recent targets. On Sunday, Israel escalated its ground operations in Gaza, and the two regions have exchanged rocket fire over the past few weeks.
The humanitarian assistance Kerry announced Monday includes $15 million for United Nations relief efforts, $3.5 million for emergency assistance from the USAID's OFfice of Foreign Disaster Assistance, $10 million in redirected USAID funding and $18.5 million in new USAID funding to address food, shelter and medical treatments for Palestinians in Gaza.

30-Year-Old Woman With Cerebral Palsy Seeks Grant To Return To School
by Rocio
(Sedro-Woolley, WA, USA)
I am a 30-year-old woman with a mild case of cerebral palsy. I have lived and dealt with it my whole life.
When I was born, I was supposed to be a healthy chubby baby girl. What I got was a disability.
Back in 1976 doctors were able to use prongs on women when they have a c-section. That is exactly what the doctor did except he crushed my skull.
In that time, I lost oxygen and that was when I developed Cerebral Palsy. Amazingly, I lived through that ordeal.
We sued the Doctor but we lost the case. They tried buying my parents out but they said no. For them, it wasn't about the money. It was about the wrong they did to me.
Because of this, I have had grand mal seizures all my life and walk with a slight limp. My right side is an inch smaller than my left.
I protect my right side a lot because that's the side that has been affected the most by the cerebral palsy. I have to do many tasks with just my left side. I can only type with my left hand.
When I work I use my left side the most. And now all this work is getting to me. My body is starting to hurt more and I am tired more.
I have surpassed all my doctors' expectations and have been able to do more than what they said.
I have gone to College and gotten an Associate in Arts University and College Transfer (AAUCT) degree.
My dream is to go back to school. I want to go for my B.A and M.A. The best way for me to go back to school is to quit working.
It will help me get through school better because I can focus just on school and not worry about how much pain I am in.
I am only asking for money because I really need it. Personally, I am not a person to ask for help but I want to fulfill my dream and go back to school.

Press Statements
Indian Christians Strongly Condemn Growing Intolerance in the Country
The Milli Gazette Online
Published Online: Nov 03, 2015
We the undersigned Indian Christians as citizens of our country India and as Christians in unequivocal terms denounce the growing intolerance in the country. We also denounce the sinister attempts to do away with reservation policy and ultimately the attempt to undermine the Constitution of India; we denounce the planned move to utilize religion for politico-economic benefits; we denounce the well orchestrated efforts to use government machinery to achieve ones evil ends; we denounce all the efforts to divide the nation into fiefdom of some elements.
We denounce all the attempts to erode scientific temper and scholarship by meddling with the education system of the country. We are in special way concerned at how the Indigenous Adivasi People in our country are being coerced to leave their traditional nature-based religious beliefs and practices and are subjected to so-called 'ghar vapsi' by some hindutva elements thus ushering in disharmony within their communities. Under this pretext, they are being alienated from their natural habitat and resources.
As citizens, we uphold the democratic, secular and socialist principles and practices of our mother country; we uphold the basic foundations of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity enshrined in our Constitution for all the citizens of the country; we uphold the right to freedom of different cultures, religions, ways of life, beliefs, traditions, practices, customs and orientations; we uphold the right of the citizens to live a life without any intimidation by anyone; we uphold the age old tradition of living in harmony and unity by all the citizens of this country; we uphold the value of rural reconstruction and nation building.
Further, we stand in solidarity with all victims of targeted violence against Adivasis, Dalits, Women, religious minorities and people of other orientations. We uphold freedom of expression and ways of life. We are in defence of human rights defenders and advocacy groups.
We stand in solidarity with all those from various walks of life, faiths, traditions, backgrounds, cultures, communities, professions and orientations who have raised voice against the growing intolerance in the country and call upon all the citizens to resist every move to create crisis and conflict by some vested interests.
We invite others too to stand up at this time and express concern and do whatever is needed to uphold inclusive development, peace, unity, integrity, sovereignty and harmony in our Country India.

I have been wanting to try this for a long time. However, it is was on a long list of things I want to try. I finally decided to give it a shot and I was so pleased with how it turned out. I am using it in a swap as the altered item and I really hope my partner will enjoy it.
I bought the unfinished wood at M's or J's. I can't remember which because it was that long ago. I painted it with glitter soaked chocloate acrylic paint, cut out the words and then added the flowers, buttons and ric rac. Once it was all finished and dry I sprayed it with two coats of clear acrylic sealer.

Now here's a salsa company that's truly homegrown. Ruben Marabotto is the proud owner of Las Salsas, based in Winnipeg. New to the scene, his Delicious Kicks brand of authentic salsas launched this year and is gaining a following in Winnipeg.
When did your love of salsa begin?
My love for salsa began when I was a child. I was the third of 18 brothers and sisters and we used to hold our own salsa eating contests to see who could eat more salsa!
Walk us through the production process for your salsas. What makes them different?
Our salsas are different because they are really ethnic Mexican Salsas -- we get the amazing original flavours because we use the freshest natural ingredients and no preservatives.
What are the most important ingredients in a good salsa?
Standard ingredients like tomato, peppers, onion, garlic, etc. are used for making salsas, but to have a good salsa those ingredients have to be natural. A great salsa is versatile too -- serve it spooned over grilled skirt steak, tacos or with a bowl of tortilla chips. The options are endless.
What is your proudest moment since the launch of Las Salsas?
It took one year to develop our salsas in order to be able to sell to stores. Our proudest moment since the launch of Las Salsas was recently when we started selling at the retail stores where we had provided samples -- they bought right away because they immediately recalled how amazing our salsas taste.
What's an interesting fact or personal memory about the business that people might not know?
Last November we traveled to Japan and participated in the "Canada Food Show." It was very interesting to learn that many people in Japan loved our Delicious Kicks Salsas too! We were proud to represent Canada with these flavours.
What challenges do independent food producers face?
The biggest challenge for an independent food producer is to gain awareness of his product within the market. It's hard to compete with the big food brands.
Rapid Fire Questions:
Favourite salsa?
People like both! Green Kick is made of Tomatillo & Cilantro, and the Red Kick made of Tomato & Garlic. Mild and Hot.
Favourite Mexican recipe?
Three words to describe Las Salsas?
Happy, spicy and delicious!
Favourite local Winnipeg or Manitoba foodmakers?
La Cocina makes delicious, thin tortilla chips.
Recipe: Huevos Rancheros
Makes 4 servings
2 tbsp vegetable oil
4 corn tortillas
1 cup refried beans with green chilis
1 tsp butter
4 eggs
1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup Las Salsas salsa
Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortillas one at a time until firm, but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain grease.
Meanwhile, combine the refried beans and butter in a microwave-safe dish. Cover, and cook in the microwave until heated through. When tortillas are done, fry eggs over easy in the skillet. Add more oil if the tortillas have absorbed it all.
Place tortillas onto plates, and spread a layer of beans on them. Top with cheese, a fried egg, crumbled bacon and if desired, salsa.

Posted on 12/09/2018 8:43:47 AM PST by libstripper
WASHINGTON The latest revelations by prosecutors investigating President Trump and his team draw a portrait of a candidate who personally directed an illegal scheme to manipulate the 2016 election and whose advisers had more contact with Russia than Mr. Trump has ever acknowledged.
In the narrative that the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, and New York prosecutors are building, Mr. Trump continued to secretly seek to do business in Russia deep into his presidential campaign even as Russian agents made more efforts to influence him. At the same time, in this account he ordered hush payments to two women to suppress stories of impropriety in violation of campaign finance law. (My deemphasis.)
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
If the Deep Staters regain control of the government, they WILL use our voting records and other records to come after all of us.
Our choice is simple.
It's us or them.
They don't care if only one person votes as long as they win.
It is initiatives like this on the part of the media that will harden my resolve to support Khal Donald through it all. I, for one, will never be separated from him no matter what. If he turns out to be a criminal then he is "my criminal".
Trump paid Daniels $100k. Mueller took $30M from the public in an investigation in search of a crime.
Who defrauded the American public?
It means what they want it to mean. It is a message to the supporters of President Trump saying: F!@K YOU! We did this, what are you going to do about it? And to emphasize it, they spit in the faces of the Trump supporters.
Your idea that an indictment just "doesn't go anywhere" is odd. What do you mean by that?
If Trump is indicted then, like everyone else ever indicted he will either plead guilty or go to trial.
Whether in D.C. or New York her will face a hostile, Democrat and minority-filled jury. It will be a walk in the park for the prosecutors, as we saw in the Scooter Libby case, in which he got 5 years for lying.
They are 40 percent of the country. Remember, the devil always overreaches.
The Left that turns a blind eye to Hillary colluding with foreign agents will celebrate a return to the misdeeds of Barry.
I think that once a decade, America needs a lesson of how crazy the left is in power, it's coming.
It's time to understand that the national media, particularly the WaPo and NY Times, are a special interest aligned with rich globalists against the American people.
If anyone has conspired to defraud voters, it's been the media and the DNC, not Trump.
Go tell someone who does not know that the Southern District of New York is a Federal Jurisdiction. Those people have been referring to the Manhattan DA.
The U.S. Attorney's indictment will not go anywhere, he will be told by the Attorney General and by the Courts that the remedy for Presidential misbehavior is via impeachment
More lies.
Running a business is collusion and making an NDA is a campaign finance law violation.
If this is the best Mueller and his 17 Angry Democrats have come up with, Trump has nothing to worry about.
Defrauding the voters. The new Democrat libr for overturning the 2016 election result. Jeez.
I knew exactly who I was voting for.
They tried that stunt with the Hollywood Access tapes. Voters didnt buy it.
If sex is the hill Trumps enemies want to die on, its a private matter. Theres no real crime here.
This reeks of a double standard.
Wow. The news is so much more gripping when you can just make it up.
The DemoKKKratzis are a minority party.
They just make a lot of noise for their size.
Screw their phony "Law".
If the Deep Staters regain control of the government, they WILL use our voting records and other records to come after all of us.
Our choice is simple.
It's us or them.
Remember the book "Three Felonies A Day".
Your life is a "crime" if they want to get you.
If you're a part of the System, like Rapin Bill Clinton, you can perjure yourself in a Federal judge's face and IT'S ALL GOOD.
Then you and your wife can set up a Pay-For-Play money machine in the US State Department, and become millionaires.

Dutch Marines Abseil On To A Hijacked Cargo Vessel To Rescue Its Crew And Arrest 10 Somali Pirates -- The Daily MailIf you want to hear more about the Dutch, two weeks ago on Midrats we had Hans de Vreij, the Netherlands correspondent at Jane's Defence Weekly. You can hear the archive file here.
Firearms at the ready, six Dutch marines abseil from a Lynx helicopter on to the deck of a cargo vessel being held to ransom by ruthless Somali pirates.
These pictures capture the precarious moment the commandos boarded the German merchant ship, the MV Taipan.
Minutes later they arrested the pirates and freed the ship's 15-strong crew.

Forum Opinions on Where To Start with ITIL
As There is no universally agreed answer, a cross section of forum opinion may prove to be instructive:
I have my ITIL Foundation and Manager Training. I like to ask an implementation question, particularly from those who had experience implementing ITIL in their organization.
Which ITIL module do you start with?
In what logical sequence did you implement the 10 modules?
How long does each module take?
The first step in my point of view is to identify where it is. When you know where you are you can work with the business strategic plan and check where the company want be and see what are IT initiatives will help in this way. As soon as you know where you (IT) are and where you (IT) want to go you can prepare an IT business plan and when it is approved you will have the budget.
The first iTil step is to define the it services that will make you able to reach the
The second step is to check the it services sla's that you are able to provide
The third step is to negotiate those sla's with business and have it initiatives plan
The next step is to prepare it project portfolio with goals, cost, communication plan, marketing plan about the results reached
Other step is to have a full incident management in order to keep the sla's
and you can do the with problem change, config and release mgt
After that improvement policies...I hope this helps
(Ricardo Mansur)
I think to start with "Configuration Management" will be more helpful.
If you have CMDB then it would be easy to implement Change Management & Release Management.
With all due respect, change has to come before config, else what keeps the CMDB up to date? Also, config and the CMDB are the most complex, lengthy and expensive of all the processes to implement so making that your first ITIL project is not a good idea. Benefits and pay back way too long. Success with ITIL needs to have some early wins that don't cost too much and can be implemented quickly. This gets you the buy in needed for the bigger projects.
In fact there are several of the processes that should be considered before config.
Ideally, one would implement change, config and release together, but since these take different lengths of time and substantially different efforts to implement, the only way to launch them together is to know the effort, plan the end date and stagger the start dates so they coincide – not very practical.
I suppose you could also build your processes, shelve the ones done first until they are all ready for launch. In my opinion also not a good idea.
Start with an assessment to understand the points of pain and biggest return for the business. Understand the business priorities and from there you can create a plan for 1-2 years to start making process improvements. Your plan should contain quick wins as well as identify the first 2-4 processes that you should formalize or implement.
(Dwight Kayto)
Start with making a checklist of what you have in your organisation eg. Asset Register, Software for ITIL, ITIL Awarness. Management Commitment, Vison for your organisation (where you are and where you want to get to), Process Documents and identify the gaps.
Based on what your organisation want to achieve choose the process which will be suitable to achieve your targets.
It would help your staff if you can arrange for ITIL awarness training among all the IT staff .
The easiest to start with is SD and IM. This is what would give you quick wins. To do a decent SD job you would require a decent ticketing tool.
Dwight, I am disagreeing with your theory of Change has to be implemented before Configuration. You have corrected it later in your reply.. CCR (change, Config and Release) has to be implemented all together. Start with collecting all the data for the Config and set a deadline for the config to create a baseline from where you can implement Chg Management.
I would like to give a (perhaps) controversial reply:
...... DON'T START WITH ANY of the Service Delivery / Service Support processes !
Firstly, recognise that you are most likely already executing part/most of all of these processes, but what you may not have is a continual service improvement programme and adequate management involvement, ownership, support and control.
Therefore, I recommend that you start with the ISO20000 processes "The Management System" and "Planning and Implementing Service Management". A successful implementation of these processes will give you the management framework to begin to control, plan, implement, check and improve all of your other processes.
With these processes come management responsibility and control, process ownership, document control, service planning, assessment of current status, service reviews, internal auditing, continuous improvement and the service improvement plan.
Without these in place, an ITIL implementation is at considerable risk.
For additional reference, see ISO/IEC 20000, Parts 1 and 2, and the ITIL green book "Planning to Implement Service Management".
There are no quick wins in this approach, but you build solid foundations for your service improvement programme.

So, the client crash is related to calling C_Timer very often? I appreciate the thorough explanation, but I am particularly interested in what is causing the client to crash.

Witnessed: 2 red-orange dots/lights in the sky,broad daylight, quite a distance from each other. Also noticed a white dot/light below the other two moving somewhat faster. first two did not move as fast as a plane and at one point seemed to be still for about 2-3 minutes. The white dot moved slower than a plane, too but was faster moving than the red-orange dots. Note they moved westerly and the closer towards the sun, they did not change in color and eventually were lost due to the sun in our eyes. This was witnessed by 4 people after getting them to see the first "dot" that was noticeable. No trail. No noise. No aura. No sound. Just the "dots". Should note, the red-orange ones seemed to be L shaped as if laying down backwords. Prob. bad description, but long ways. White one: round.

There have been numerous well-meaning attempts to improve the management of pediatric pain. Unfortunately, educational initiatives, introduction of guidelines, and quality audits centering on pain management have proved insufficient to produce sustained change unless they are viewed as part of an overall institutional commitment to pain reduction.
ChildKind International promotes the incorporation of child comfort into the culture of pediatric healthcare facilities; encouraging institution-wide excellence and standardization in the prevention and treatment of pain.

"Character formation cannot be taught. It comes from experience and not from explanation." Maria Montessori
The Montessori Philosophy
Montessori is a unique method of education designed to take advantage of the sensitive period for learning between the ages of 3 to 6 when they can absorb information easily from an enriched environment.
According to Dr. Maria Montessori the goal of early childhood education should be to create a childs curiosity, a love for knowledge and a strong desire to learn. The Montessori classroom provides the environment and materials that the child needs for his/her personal development which allows them the freedom to choose their activities according to their own personal interests and readiness in a non-competitive environment.
The habits and skills which the child obtains here are good for a lifetime. They will help them work more efficiently, to observe more carefully, and to concentrate more effectively throughout their life.
Global Montessori School of Westwood provides the resources and care necessary for your child to experience the joy of learning in a space that encourages exploration and personal development, while working to achieve your childs highest potential. Global Montessori School of Westwood is a loving, compassionate and respectful community that will enrich the intellect and soul of your child.
Montessori Principles
· Freedom of choice with responsibility
· Foster independence and self motivation
· Development of character and positive self image
· Sensitive periods of learning
· Instructive materials
· Respect for all life and diversity
"If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?" Maria Montessori
