The 16th Mealani's Taste of the Hawaiian Range continues to highlight and feature locally grown grass-fed beef that has been aged for 21-days. The tradition continues with raising cattle in our tropical climate and ranchers are perfecting their grass-fed beef for chefs and families to enjoy!
Advantages of Grass-fed Beef
Many of us are eating grass-fed beef and forage-fed animals today for their health benefits. Yet, many of us are unaware of the environment, social and economic factors. In The Grassfed Gourmet Cookbook by Shannon Hayes she discusses all of these advantages of the grass-fed beef industry.
Health Benefits
Grass-fed meats are rich in the "good fats" known as omega-3 fatty acids which helps in lowering high blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol. It is a rich source of conjugated linoleic acids (CLA's) which have been linked as a source in cancer prevention. Hayes also shares, "these meats are known to contain antioxidant vitamins and are much less likely to carry the virulent strain of E. coli 0157:H7."
Environmental Benefits
Pasture raised animals encourages and improves land management with soil fertility, eliminates waste management problems and keeps our wide open landscapes.
Social Benefits
Cattle and animals raised in open pasture fields have less diseases and stress, are able to exercise and act on their own natural instincts. Ranchers and farmers have less respiratory related illnesses found in large scale operations.
Economic Benefits
Locally owned based ranches and farms provide a service to their community with the product of grass-fed beef and forage fed animals. They tend to hire local workers and the most important benefit is that when you purchase grass-fed beef from a farmer or rancher locally – it keeps them in business!!!
Prepare great meals with your family with locally grown grass-fed beef from our island: hamburgers, tacos, chili, stews, kabobs, teriyaki and kalbi, stir fry with local veggies, pot roast and more…
Want to learn more? Join us for Cooking Grass-fed Beef 101 at 3:00 p.m. with KTA's Derek Kurisu for $10 at www.brownpapertickets.com. Free shuttle service will be available from Anaeho`omalu Bay.

Urban Decay Electric Palette ReviewOctober 03, 2014
I feel like the Urban Decay Electric Palette is something everyone was raving about for all of 5 seconds. It released, a few reviews were ...
How cute is the packaging?
It's sturdy, has a nice mirror and snaps shut. It's great for travel.
- Revolt : a glittery silver
- Gonzo : a "matte" turquoise. It has silver micro glitter in it.
- Slowburn : "matte" red orange. It has a very slight sheen to it, almost totally matte.
- Savage : matte hot pink
- Fringe: metallic teal
- Chaos : "matte" bright blue. It has a micro glitter in it as well. Appears mostly matte.
- Jilted : Metallic fuschia with a blue shift
- Urban : Metallic purple
- Freak : light green with a gold shift
- Thrash : 'matte' lime green. It has gold micro glitter.
As you can see from the swatches, these are extremely pigmented.
I've used each of these shadows, unfortunately I don't have pictures of most of the looks, but I can redo them if interested. I'll post below the two I have.
Let's talk about these "pressed pigments" a little more.
They are technically NOT eyeshadows, they are pressed pigments. There is a warning on the palette that some may not be safe for the eye area and to use with caution. i.e. Slowburn, Savage, Jilted and Urban.
I've used all of these on my eye area and I've had zero issues, despite having extremely sensitive eyes.
These are super pigmented and blend easily. They last all day.
I do recommend doing your eye makeup first if you're using these all over your lids as they are pressed pigments and have a little fall out.
There are a ton of ways to use this palette. You can go crazy and go all color all over your lid and on the lower lash line. You can use a hint of one of the shades in the crease. You can make beautiful colored smokey eyes. Another option is to use these in the outer corner and into the crease. You can go super neutral on the lid and use these only on the lower lash line. You can use a wet brush to apply these as eyeliner. There's just so many things you can do!
The first look is from over the summer.
I used Jilted and Urban all over the lid, then put Chaos in the outer corner and blended into the crease. I used Revolt on the inner corners and Fringe on the lower lash line with Freak blended into the inner part of the lower lash line.
The second look is more recent and is very similar.
I used Urban all over the lid and crease with Fringe and Freak blended into the lower lash line.
In case you're curious, I'm wearing MAC lipstick in Vegas Volt and I have UD Venus on the inner corners of my eyes.
If you want to see more looks, let me know. I may actually film one or two.
In any case, I still totally, 100% recommend this palette. It's beautiful, will last forever and is much more versatile than it's given credit for. And with Halloween coming up, I'm sure you can find plenty of uses for it.
It is permanent and I believe it retails for $50.
Go pick it up! You won't regret it!
More reviews next week so stay tuned. :)
Thanks for reading!

Why is this tutorial in the questions section?If you don't understand my response, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: How to display Hello World using GWT?
You might also like to see the reaction voiced in http://www.java-forums.org/google-we...using-gwt.html. I would have thought that 'Moved from Java EE -> GWT.' would be easily understood, but apparently it wasn't.

FTC Blog
From the FTC. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/blogs/business-blog/2019/04/i-dressup-data-security-mess
Kids love to play dress-up, but parents wouldn't want them rummaging through the attic or climbing to the top shelf of the wardrobe without permission and proper supervision. The i-Dressup.com website offered users – including children – a virtual way to play dress-up and design clothes without those potential dangers. But according to an FTC complaint, Unixiz, Inc., the company behind i-Dressup, violated the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act in ways that created different kinds of risks.
COPPA puts two separate sets of protections in place to help keep parents in control of personal information collected from their kids online. First, COPPA-covered companies must clearly disclose their information policies and get parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. Second, companies must provide reasonable and appropriate security for the data they collect. According to an FTC settlement, i-Dressup fell short on both COPPA requirements.
The complaint alleges i-Dressup failed to provide sufficient notice on its site of the information it collected online from kids, how it used it, its disclosure practices, and other specifics required by the COPPA Rule. The company's direct notices to parents were deficient, too. Among other things, they didn't include the COPPA-required statement that if parents don't provide consent within a reasonable time, i-Dressup will delete their online contact information from its records. Stick with the story because that failure turned out to be particularly troubling.
In addition to letting users play online games, i-Dressup featured a community where they could "explore their creativity and fashion sense with unique personal profiles" and interact with others. To register, i-Dressup required people to submit a user name, password, birthdate, and email address. If the birthdate indicated the person was under 13, the email field changed to "Parent's Email." Once the under-13 user filled in the required fields and clicked "Join Now," i-Dressup collected the personal information and sent a message to the address entered into the Parent's Email field. The person receiving the email could consent by clicking the "Activate Now!" button.
However, if the parent didn't give consent, i-Dressup retained the personal information it had collected from the child online. The FTC says the company's failure to delete that information violated Section 312.5(c)(1) of the COPPA Rule.
In addition to violating COPPA's parental consent provisions, i-Dressup allegedly violated the Rule's data security requirements. According to the FTC, i-Dressup stored and transmitted users' personal information (including passwords) in plain text. In addition, the company failed to perform network vulnerability testing of its network, even for well-known threats like SQL attacks; it didn't implement an intrusion detection and prevention system; and it didn't monitor for potential security incidents. The upshot? The company learned that a hacker had gained entry to its network and accessed information about 2.1 million users, including approximately 245,000 users who indicated they were under 13.
To settle the case, i-Dressup and its owners will pay a $35,000 civil penalty. They're also prohibited from violating COPPA in the future, and can't sell, share, or collect any personal information until they implement a comprehensive data security program and get independent biennial assessments. In addition, they'll have to provide the FTC with an annual certification of compliance.
The message for sites and operators covered by COPPA is that an effective system of parental consent is only the first step toward compliance. Section 312.8 of the COPPA Rule also requires you to "establish and maintain reasonable procedures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information collected from children."
Interested in data security issues? Read an accompanying Commission statement and learn more about another FTC action announced today.
Online games and websites for kids are everywhere these days – to the point that it's commonplace to see toddlers playing with them, too. And while the internet has positive ways for kids to explore and learn, privacy concerns are lurking. To help protect children's privacy, the FTC enforces the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which requires websites and online services to get consent from parents before collecting personal information from kids younger than 13.
October 20, 2018, marked 20 years since Congress passed the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. Many of the kids the law was originally designed to protect are now parents themselves. Looking back on two decades of COPPA, here are our five key takeaways.Read more >
Buckling up in the car is a precaution parents take to protect themselves and their children. When it comes to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, navigating the rules of the COPPA Road helps protect your business and the kids who visit your website or use your online service. Most companies are familiar with COPPA's mandate to get parental consent up front before collecting personal information from children under 13. But there's another requirement farther down the COPPA Road that some businesses may not know about.Read more >
Remember that public service announcement: "It's 8:00. Do you know where your children are?" Technology has given parents tools for answering that question. But under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule, online services touted as ways to keep kids connected need to comply with key parental notice and consent provisions of COPPA – especially when they're collecting children's geolocation. That's the message of two warning letters just sent by FTC staff.Read more >
Movie legend has it that screen siren Lana Turner was discovered as a teen at Schwab's Drugstore. The millions of people who signed up for online talent search network Explore Talent were also looking to break into the business.Read more >
We can't guarantee its effectiveness in getting kids to eat their vegetables or finish their homework. But there's one circumstance in which a Mom or Dad's "Because I said so . . . ." is the law of the land. When it comes to the online collection of personal information from kids under 13, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA) puts parents in charge.Read more >
If you think Ed Tech is the gruff guy in the polo shirt who set up your network, you're missing out on a revolution happening right now in America's classrooms. With more than half of K-12 students able to access school-issued personal computing devices, Ed Tech – educational technology – is changing the way kids learn. The benefits are obvious, but it's also raised questions about how the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) apply.Read more >
Is the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule a consideration at your company? We've updated our guidance for businesses about complying with COPPA to reflect developments in the marketplace – for example, the introduction of internet-connected toys and other devices for kids.Read more >
Some operators of websites and online services directed at children would do well to learn a lesson that youngsters often know: ask permission before using something that's not yours.Read more >

BBC locals mark centenary of the Spanish Flu
BBC English Regions are marking the centenary of Spanish flu in partnership with Wellcome Collection, Imperial War Museums and the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
BBC Local Radio stations and regional television in the South West will highlight the epidemic on Thursday 20 September and Friday 21 September with interviews, features and programmes revealing the impact of the disease on people living in the cities, towns and villages in their local areas as well as investigating the legacy of the pandemic.
The BBC Local Radio programmes will reveal statistics based on medical reports recording how communities in many parts of England – including places such as Cornwall, Exeter, Jersey and Guernsey – were affected by the virus which killed 228,000 in the UK.
PhD Researcher at Imperial War Museums, Hannah Mawdsley, said: "I hope that the BBC Local Radio programmes help people understand more about a relatively poorly-known aspect of early twentieth century history, and to reveal the voices of ordinary people that lived through this pandemic – as well as help us to understand that we as a society are still vulnerable to global pandemic threats today."
BBC Local Radio Stations in the South West will be telling the human story behind the statistics using letters containing first-hand accounts of what it was like to live through the most deadly pandemic in human history.

Lentation (old)
Here's a real quick one I may expand on later by editing this.
Lentation (unofficial term) is the act of consciously inducing an adrenaline rush, causing the slow-motion effect you experience when you, say, drop your expensive phone all of a sudden. Because of this you'll experience everything in slow-motion, and you'll appear to move faster. In fact, you are really moving faster and stronger, thanks to the adrenaline and the other hormones that come with it.
It goes without saying that this isn't only useful in situations where you need to hurry the fuck up, but also in combat. Imagine seeing your opponent's blow coming, then slowing down your perception of time, intercepting it perfectly, and delivering an incredibly speedy hit to his stomach!
Note that this does actually work. I can not say that from experience (yet) but I know my basic biology and what hormones do and how the nerve system works.
Too bad this takes lots of long months to learn and master semi-completely.

No particular knowledge and skills are needed to attend this course beside those required to be enrolled to this Master level of studies.
The course focuses on advanced materials and structures designed to achieve specific performances, up to introducing those behaviours allowed by the coupling of a few basic physical components, such as Mechanics, Electrostatics, Diffusion of Species. Typically, high performances can be achieved with composite materials and structures. By following a continuum description of the physical phenomena of interest, the course provides the basis to predict the behaviour of complex systems, aiming at generating novel capabilities by smartly choosing and assembling their constituents.
1. The Total Potential Energy for solids and structures.
2. Mechanical behaviour of linear elastic sandwich panels for lightweight applications.
3. Introduction to the homogenisation theory for composite materials.
4. Introduction to electrochemomechanical theories for actuators and sensors.
After introducing the Total Potential Energy minimum principle for Solids and Structures, the first part of the course deals with structural models for sandwich panels, where the emphasis is on light structures offering high mechanical performance.
The second part provides the fundamental tools of homogenisation theory, which is employed in the design to predict the effective (macroscopic) properties of composite materials. Three-phase composites called syntactic foams are analysed as a prototypical example of smart microstructure, usually consisting of a polymeric matrix filled with hollow glass microspheres. Syntactic foams find application in advanced engineering areas involving deep underwater buoyancy, ablative heat shields for re-entry aerospace vehicles, and structural parts of ships and submarines, where they can be employed as core material of sandwich panels.
The third part introduces students to the electrochemomechanical behaviour of ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs), that are laminate small-scale structures constituted by an electroactive polymeric membrane, including mobile ions, sandwiched between two metal electrodes. IPMCs are transducers applied both in sensing and actuation, where an imposed mechanical loading generates a voltage across the electrodes, and, viceversa, an imposed electric field causes deformation. The continuum description of these phenomena requires the introduction of a finite deformation mechanical framework. Current research aims at integrating IPMCs in a wide range of engineering and medical domains, including biomedical devices, biomimetic actuators for underwater propulsion, actuating manipulators, flow sensors, tactile and vibration sensors, and energy harvesting.

The exam has the purpose of ascertaining the student knowledge of the topics dealt with in the course, as listed in the official course program. The examination also focuses on the student capability to apply the theory to solve specific problems. The exam consists of a single colloquium.
In this academic year, 2018-19, 20 hours of lectures and tutorials on electroactive polymers will be taught by prof. Luis Dorfmann of Tufts University, Boston, USA. This implies that selected parts of the regular program will be dealt with in less detail.

The national lottery operator, Camelot, is considering introducing a prize of up to £10,000 a month for life in the hope of enticing a younger generation of players seeking financial security so they can afford to buy a home.
As it revealed an overall drop in ticket sales, Camelot said it could shift its focus away from big jackpots towards an "annuity-style game", in which the prize would continue to pay out until death.
"We want to get new people into the game," the Camelot chief executive, Nigel Railton, told the Daily Telegraph. "Our research tells us that more people these days want financial security. The younger generation are finding it difficult to get on the housing ladder and they want prizes that help with this."
Other planned changes include the introduction of a Tuesday Thunderball draw for players "who value smaller, more frequent wins".
The shift in focus comes at a time when increasing numbers of people in the UK find it harder to buy their first property, are struggling with rising private rents and battling a squeeze on finances driven by increasing inflation.
Young people are the least likely demographic group to play the lottery. Nonetheless, last week a London estate agent caused controversy by suggesting that young people should stop buying tickets to help them afford a deposit.
Camelot announced a 3.2% drop in overall ticket sales on last year's first-half performance to £3.2bn for the six months to 23 September. This follows a fall in total ticket sales of 8.8% to £6.9bn for 2016-17, from a record £7.5bn the previous year.
Railton said: "A fall in sales is never welcome but, as we announced in June, we did anticipate a further sales decline this year – so our performance over the half-year is in line with expectations."

TakaraTomy Legends Episode 48: Late XMas Gifts Edition Online!
TakaraTomy has posted Episode 48 of the Transformers Legends manga, Late XMas Gifts Edition. It's a lost cat drama as Blurr races against the Sweeps to return White Lune to safety!
See the original posting at TakaraTomy's website or browse the pages here, and scroll down (or click through to TFWiki) for a summary by TFWiki's Apoc. Then come talk about the new developments in our Legends Manga Thread.
English summary via TFWiki's Apoc:
Foreseeing the return of Overlord in the Legends World, Ginrai goes back to his own world and visits the Second Army headquarters in G Nebula 89, where he has Perceptor upgrade Godbomber's armor. As he's leaving, Perceptor entrusts him with the Haywire Laser, modified at the request of White Leo: transporting it to Beast from the nebula puts it at risk of being stolen by the Decepticons, so he asks Ginrai to send it via a Legends portal instead. Ginrai returns to his job at Blurr's transport company, where things are incredibly busy at the end of the year, but when he opens his trailer to show his boss the Haywire Laser, they instead find White Lune sleeping there. A confused Blurr calls up Perceptor who explains that the gun is White Lune, now equipped with Master-Braces for transforming at will, but during the explanation she wanders off, scratching Ginrai's face when he tries to stop her. Seeing as he's still supposed to be delivering her, Blurr panics and puts up "lost cat" posters before visiting the police for help. There he encounters Hot Rod, who immediately recognizes his unique speech pattern, but instead of the berating he's expecting for abandoning his friend ten years earlier, Blurr is greeted with a happy reunion… one that unfortunately distracts the police from Scourge's Sweeps stealing Blowpipe!
Having overheard Blurr talking about the power of the Haywire Laser, the Sweeps plan to take it for themselves by using Blowpipe on Sweep No. 7, creating a clone army that begins searching the city for White Lune. In the meantime she's discovered by Sue and brought to Kup's place, but before they can discuss whether or not to keep her as a pet, the Sweeps show up and Kup tells Sue to take the lion girl to safety while he holds them at bay. As they run, White Lune laments that this is all happening because she ran away on a selfish whim, having always wanted to explore a world other than Beast. Sue responds that she's also a runaway staying in this world and convinces her everything will be fine if they just return to Blurr together. Since they can't pin down the fleeing White Lune, the Sweeps think of a plan to incapacitate her by unleashing silver vine smoke that has an intoxicating effect on cat-type beasts all over the city (one of which is Tigatron, whose new buddy Octane just notes that he'd much rather see a cute robot girl get drunk). Scourge and the Sweeps locate White Lune, but as they try to capture her, Blurr comes to the rescue and she transforms into the Haywire Laser for him to wield. Sue wants to help and calls for Kup, who runs into Hot Rod and much like Blurr expects him to be mad, but again Hot Rod is only happy to see him again. Joined by Blurr's part-timers Shūta and Wheelie, Hot Rod, Blurr, Kup and their Targetmasters make short work of the Sweep clone army.
In the aftermath, White Lune gets a job at Blurr's transport company and the Sweeps are made by Megatron to hand out gifts to children. One of them is Lio Junior who goes home to show his dad the Transformers toy he got, but the nearby Leo Prime is distracted by feeling that the Zamojin are coming back…

Research databases and websites
Accessing resources
The University Library provides access to a range of databases and electronic resources once you have registered for a University IT account.
Produced by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the MEDLINE database is widely recognized as the premier source for bibliographic and abstract coverage of biomedical literature. More than 9.5 million records from more than 3,900 journals are indexed.
IT support to create resources
The University provides "LAMP" as its preferred stack for hosting research software – where possible we run software applications in the most open source environment:
- Linux operating system
- Apache HTTP server
- MySQL database software
- PHP/Perl/Python programming languages.
In the Brisskit (Biomedical Research Infrastructure Software Service kit) project anonymised versions of patient sensitive databases are hosted for University researchers on a LAMP stack platform implemented by the University of Leicester IT Research Computing Service in a VMware environment.
IT Services also provide a Database Hosting service which provides location of new or relocation of existing databases to IT Services Hosting in order to provide stability and resilience. This service aligns with the need for robust, secure central management of IT infrastructure and research data.
IT Services provide flexible support – whether you are an experienced and skilled user, and have very clear requirements, or whether you want to submit a research bid and need help to devise technical and data management options, and to complete a data management plan. The Academic Liaison team are here to support this, work with you, and with a range of IT specialists.
