Hosting a dinner party is stressful. And hosting iftar? That's on a whole other level. Like with any other dinner, there's the desire to feed people delicious food. But then there's the added pressure of cooking while fasting (that's right, no tasting), all while knowing that this is your very hungry guests' most anticipated meal of the day and that they'll be expecting to break their fasts at a certain time.
This year, on the first day of Ramadan in New York City, hundreds of thousands of Muslims will break their fast at 7:22 p.m. While the exact time varies depending on where you live and each day's particular sunset time, one thing is guaranteed: We're all hungry. And if my mindset is any indication, we've been thinking about this meal for hours. Some people want to eat right away, while others choose to pray first. Either way, when I'm hosting, I know I need to be prepared—being impromptu doesn't play well with an iftar.
Variables and constraints make everything a little more cumbersome, but after years of attending iftars, watching people host, and hosting my own, I've picked up a few tips and tricks that will make the whole affair a lot more manageable. Here are my house rules:
1. Tell people what they're eating.
As a Virgo, I'm a natural-born planner—I go to bed thinking about breakfast and wake up thinking about dinner (okay, maybe I just love food). And this tendency is exacerbated when my meals are numbered. With that in mind, I do my iftar guests a favor and tell them what's on the menu. It gives people something to look forward to, and, at the very least, prevents someone from bringing a dish I was already planning to make. It may even present an opportunity to coordinate and lighten the load.
2. Salting is tricky—just accept it.
My heart beats extra fast when everyone starts taking their first bites. Will the food be undersalted, or, arguably worse, too salty? Over time, I've learned two principles for cooking while fasting. First, use recipes that call for a specified amount of salt as opposed to salting to taste. That way I can rest assured that I'm at a good starting place. Second, don't stress if everything isn't perfectly seasoned—salt is extremely personal (I should know; I carry around a tiny tin of Maldon). I place a salt shaker or pinch bowl of salt on the table and encourage people to season to their own taste, and I do the same for other seasoning agents like fresh or crushed chiles and lemon wedges.
Now, onto the food…
3. Display the dates and keep a pit dish nearby.
Following the tradition of the Prophet (PBUH), most Muslims break the fast with dates. Instead of hiding them in the pantry, I keep the dates out for everyone to see. This way, when the clock strikes iftar, everyone can help themselves. Pro tip: Place a small empty bowl nearby for people to discard their date pits—few things are more awkward than walking around with a date pit in hand searching for the garbage can.
4. Serve more than just chai, but don't skip it.
After the dates, the next order of business for most will be caffeine. Some version of chai is always a must in my family. Whether that's a simply brewed cup of English breakfast tea with a splash of milk or a full-blown glass kettle bubbling away with Karak chai, caffeine simply cannot be skipped. Some people (like me) will drink it immediately because they already have a headache from the withdrawal, while others prefer it after a meal. Either way, don't serve it solo. Make up for the day's dehydration with some other beverage offerings (nonalcoholic ones, of course). Water is good enough, but that third beverage really says luxury. Personally, I'm a sucker for something bubbly that feels special, so I'll be making a sweet and sour spritzer for my guests.
Recipe developer Zaynab Issa's Karak Chai is richer than most cups of tea, thanks to its generous use of evaporated milk and hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and cardamom.
The beloved snack of mangoes with lime and chili powder, reimagined as a sunny drink.
5. Carboload!
After a long day without food, and another one coming, carbs are always a good idea. They're filling and energizing and, if nothing else, very comforting. I've always been partial to pasta and rice, but if grains and legumes are more your style, do you. This year I'll be making Afghan pasta, which I learned about from a dear friend. It's sort of like a lazy girl version of the traditional Afghan mantu I love, with the same flavors but a lot less preparation.
All the flavors of meaty Afghan mantu in a streamlined pasta dish.
6. Serve no-stove sides. Yes, salad counts.
I could never feel comfortable just serving a main dish for iftar—sides are a very real part of the game and, just like at any other big dinner, some people even look forward to them the most. But stovetop space is precious. So instead of crowding the kitchen with pots and pans, I look for no-cook recipes or ones that won't take up any space on the range.
Shawarma spices aren't just for chicken and meat.
When you're not up for deep frying, bake a samosa's spiced potato filling into a buttery, flaky bed of puff pastry instead.
I know greens aren't the most exciting, but, if you ask me, even a simple salad deserves a place on the table. With so many filling, hearty dishes in the mix, it's nice to balance the spread with something bright and fresh. Also, you know, nutrients.
This Caesar salad uses kale instead of romaine, has no croutons or raw egg yolks, and still happens to be one of the best we've ever had.
While this fattoush recipe can be made year round, it is best in summer when tomatoes are at their peak.
7. Save the deep-frying for dessert.
Don't get me wrong, I love samosas and bhajias just as much as anyone else, but I don't trust myself with a vat of hot oil when I'm famished—I'm just not mentally on enough to be extremely careful. That doesn't mean I'm skipping the frying entirely. I just save it for later in the night, when I'm full, reenergized, and craving a sweet bite. After all, what's Ramadan without my deep-fried friends? Plus, it's a good excuse to retreat into the kitchen (fellow introverts, you understand). Kalimati is my deep-fried dessert of choice, mostly because these pillowy little munchkins dripping in cardamom syrup remind me of my mother's kitchen during Ramadan.
These adorable East African doughnuts are fluffy, chewy, and doused in cardamom syrup. No kneading or shaping required.
8. Or make your dessert in advance.
When deep-frying feels like too much effort, I pick a dessert I can prepare ahead of time and serve on my schedule. I lean toward dishes that get better with time, like banana pudding, tiramisù, or my personal favorite, saffron milk cake. This way, when everyone's ready for round two, I can just pull it out of the fridge.
Sponge cake takes a bath in sweet saffron-infused milk, emerges sunshine-yellow and ready to feed a crowd.
I hate to break it to you, but hosting an iftar will always involve some level of planning (read: stress). But, the good news is that after mastering the art of the iftar, hosting a dinner party outside of Ramadan will be an absolute breeze.

Bayesian inference methods consist in finding out probability distribution over unknowns given some observations and some knowledge of the model that connects them. These techniques not only look very suitable for inquiring Nature in High-Energy Physics, but also they have been highly boosted and developed in the last decades through a broad spectrum of Machine Learning applications. Our challenge is to reach the state-of-the-art of these techniques within High-Energy Physics applications to study their scope in better understanding non-perturbative phenomena, improving Monte Carlo techniques, improving experimental setups, modelling and eventually finding New Physics, and many other LHC-related disciplines, as well as other HEP areas.
The workshop consists in mainly three aspects, on which we aim to trigger discussions that construct connecting and developing bridges. From one side, the known and in-research HEP cases, in theory, phenomenology and experiment, in which inference methods provide relevant results. From another side, how Monte Carlo simulations could be assisted through Bayesian methods. And from the final side, we want to discuss with Computer Science specialists who foster the latest developments and tools on how these can be best used in HEP.
The workshop is in-person at the Durham IPPP (UK) and we aim to have ~25 participants. Sessions will mix talks, coffee, and discussion slots. If you are interested in attending the workshop please apply by registering here.

Good afternoon EVA family!
It is the middle of a hot and rainy summer. Just a few things to know as we head into the next week:
Supply lists are now available on the school website. Please look at the lists for the grade that your student will be in during the 2021-2022 school year. Florida does have a Back-to-School Sales Tax holiday from August 7-16, but you can begin now to look for items on these lists if you would like to avoid the rush. For middle and high school students, these are general lists and you will want to look at the course syllabi for their classes for more specific needs.
The bookstore for the 2021-2022 school year opens this Monday, July 5th. The bookstore is where you will find all of the books that your student will need for the upcoming school year. For elementary (grades K-6) students, you will need all of the books and the planner found in the bookstore. For middle and high school students, you will need to order the books for only the classes that your student will be taking. This will be emailed to you after the student course request is completed. If you have a student going into those grades and you have not received a course request email, please contact Mrs. Hall (email@example.com) to get that. For all grades, you are welcome to purchase your books outside of our bookstore, but it must be the exact book (match the ISBN found in the bookstore) and all consumable workbooks must be purchased new. All orders through the EVA bookstore over $100 will receive free shipping from July 5th through July 11th. Plan now to purchase your student's books so they will have them when school begins on August 9th.

here). She's a phenomenal artist, a great guitarist, a great songwriter, and has such a deep love and appreciation for all things music, especially old-time rock and roll and Americana. You're going to have a lot of fun listening and watching this interview. If you've been following Boomerocity very long at all – at least for the last year, year and a half - you'll know that last June I interviewed Carla Olson (
And she knows her stuff.
She not only knows how to play it, but she knows the stories and the people behind it and has met so many of these people and friends with many of them that who are still alive. When you get to sit and talk with her like I've gotten to do now for the second time . . . Wow!
I mean, you just don't want it to stop. She was very generous with her time to talk about her new album titled, "Ladies Singing Lightfoot". She's joins by a bunch of other ladies who take turns singing and playing different songs - a lot of the classics as well as some deep cuts of Gordon Lightfoot.
It was a stroke of genius on Carla's part to pull together a group of diversely talented women to sing - of all artists - GORDON LIGHTFOOT songs. Perhaps, at first blush, one wouldn't be faulted if they were thinking, "Huh?" But when you hear the amazing talent on this album giving such incredible treatments of some of the Lightfoot hits and deep-cuts, you will see why Olson took the plunge in making this project happen. Each artist brings her own voice and musicianship to the songs they cover that makes it their own while still leaving Gordon's DNA in the song intact.
Brilliant. Just friggin' brilliant.
Of course, we're all fans of Gordon Lightfoot and love the man who I got the interview a couple years ago (here) and saw him in concert shortly after. Carla and I talked a lot about this great Canadian and musical treasure. And then we would get off the subject and talk about a bunch of other stuff. The interview is roughly an hour and 20 minutes of us doing a lot of talking. You're going to hear it pretty much as it happened.
After you've watched it, share it with your friend. Then, order "Ladies Sing Lightfoot" by clicking on the album cover on this page. Order extra copies for Christmas gifts. Also, follow Carla at her website, CarlaOlson.com, Facebook, and Instagram.

By Carl Levesque, Clean Energy Communications Consultant
Wind energy, mainstream in the United States for many years and still on a steep growth curve, has a new source of appeal. Over the past five years, its cost has dropped an impressive 58 percent, according to the September 2014 report, "Lazard's Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis."
As a result of continued technological improvement and domestic manufacturing, Wind has become one of the most affordable sources of electricity today in the U.S., and one of utilities' leading choices for new generation. Since 2008, over $100 billion in private investment has flowed into the U.S. Wind industry making it a major economic contributor.
Strong Numbers
In 2014, the U.S. Wind industry installed over four-times-more new wind energy than in 2013 across 19 states. The new installations mean that there is now enough wind power installed to power about 18 million average American homes.
Texas led the way for new wind capacity in 2014, followed by Oklahoma, Iowa, Washington and Colorado.
American wind power now supports well-paying manufacturing jobs at over 500 manufacturing facilities in 43 states, and an average of 73,000 total jobs over the past five years. Investment in new U.S. wind farms has driven an average of $12 billion a year in private investment over the last five years. Wind farms deliver over $180 million a year in lease payments to landowners such as farmers, with over 98 percent located on private land.
Calls for Stable Policy
Policy drives the energy sector, with virtually all U.S. technologies receiving policy support of some kind. Wind energy's rapid advance in the U.S. is impressive when considering the unstable policy environment in which it has been forced to operate. The federal Production Tax Credit (PTC), the primary federal incentive for wind energy, has operated under short-term extensions of usually one and two years (the alternative Investment Tax Credit, relied on by offshore and community wind developers, has faced similar short-term extensions). Congress has allowed the PTC, which provides up-front tax relief of 2.3 cents per kilowatt-hour for the first 10 years of a project, to expire several times in recent history. While the credit has been key in spurring technological advances that have driven down the cost of wind, the expirations and related uncertainty have created a boom-bust cycle for the industry.
Perhaps the best indication of what the industry is capable of doing in a stable policy environment is its dramatic growth between 2005 and 2012, the longest stretch to date during which Congress did not allow the PTC to expire. American wind power saw 800 percent growth over the period, and average annual growth of 31 percent. Total investment in new wind farms reached $105 billion, and a vast majority of all wind power capacity in the U.S. today was installed.
Outlook for 2015 and Beyond
The U.S. Wind industry will be busy in 2015 with construction on wind farms occurring in 22 states at the start of the year. Texas actually has more capacity under construction than is installed in any other state. Other highly-active states include Oklahoma, Kansas, North Dakota, New Mexico, and Maine.
Meanwhile, utilities and others continue to sign some of the lowest cost long-term contracts ever seen for wind energy. These power purchase agreements (PPAs) include non-utility purchasers such as Google, Microsoft, Walmart, Yahoo! and Amazon, who are turning to wind energy to provide stably priced electricity for their power-hungry data centers.
Utilities continue to highlight wind's ability to keep costs low for consumers. "When viewed as a package, our wind and solar contracts are expected to save LES customer-owners approximately $429 million over the next 25 years," said Kevin Wailes, administrator and CEO of Nebraska-based Lincoln Electric System (LES), in announcing a power purchase agreement for wind energy.
After signing a wind PPA, investor-owned utility Westar similarly noted the "good news that we can rely on wind resources to provide energy at competitive prices."
The affordability of wind helps consumers too. Wind power saved consumers $1 billion over just two days across the Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic states during the 2014 "Polar Vortex" event, according to a new AWEA white paper. A May 2013 Synapse Energy Economics report found that doubling the use of wind energy just in that region would save customers close to $7 billion a year.
Aside from cost competitiveness and construction, 2015 promises to be notable for another reason. American offshore wind energy at last is on the verge of becoming reality, bringing an energy source familiar in Europe to the U.S. for the first time. Projects have been proposed in both state and federal waters off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, as well as in the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, and in fact construction will start on the first U.S. offshore wind project this year.
A Vision for the Industry
An important development in 2014 came when the U.S. Department of Energy previewed its pending Wind Vision report. Slated to be released this year, it states that U.S. wind energy capacity can double by 2020, and provide 10 percent of America's electricity—and then double again by 2030, to 20 percent of the grid. It projects that by 2050, wind can provide as much as 35 percent of the nation's electricity.
The Wind Vision becomes all the more compelling when considering that the American industry is on pace so far to meet the 2030 goal, as outlined in an initial report produced by the George W. Bush administration in 2008. The vision is already becoming reality.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s proposed Clean Power Plan also is a strong signal that America needs wind power. In meeting the landmark rule to limit carbon pollution from existing power plants, many states will find wind energy to be one of the biggest, fastest, cheapest ways to comply. As shown by the 2014 Lazard report, wind is by far the most cost-effective generation option for reducing pollution. Current wind power installed avoids the carbon pollution of over 28 million cars.
One benefit that often goes unnoticed is the water saving from using wind energy—a key advantage in drought-prone parts of the U.S. Droughts from the Southeast to the West Coast have highlighted our dependence on fresh water. The 2008 DOE report showing the feasibility of reaching 20 percent wind by 2030 found that would save 4 trillion gallons of water, more than the annual consumption of 9 million Americans. This advantage of wind power helps keep the lights on during heat waves.
In today's rapidly shifting U.S. environmental and energy policy landscape, an important goal of the wind industry is an extension of the PTC and a policy framework that appropriately values its attributes, including zero-emissions power with no water use. A policy environment that values such attributes will free the industry to realize the Wind Vision outlined by the U.S. Department of Energy—reaching 20 percent by 2030 while saving consumers money.
AWEA Bio:
AWEA is the national trade association of the U.S. America's wind energy industry, with 1,300 member companies, including global leaders in wind power and energy development, wind turbine manufacturing, component and service suppliers, and the world's largest wind power trade show, the AWEA WINDPOWER Conference & Exhibition, which takes place next in Orlando, FL, May 18-21, 2015. AWEA is the voice of wind energy in the U.S., promoting renewable energy to power a cleaner, stronger America.

text: Author: Udo Nesshoever How can I e.g. "type" programmatically in another application? Answer: There are several methods to send keystrokes or characters to a WinControl. The SetKeyboardState requires the control to have the focus but can send more (esp. special) keys. The use of WM_CHAR message enables you to send characters even to a hidden control unless you have found out the handle of it (there are a couple of ways to find out a controls handle). Once you've got it, you can send messages to it. I'm using this method for a little tool to "type" certain frequently used phrases while posting to newsgroups. I hardcoded the handle of the edit control of my favorite newsreader and now I have a small and handy tool to type messages faster than ever. 1 2 procedure SendMsg(const h: HWND; const s: string); 3 var 4 i: integer; 5 begin 6 if h = 0 then 7 Exit; 8 if Length(s) = 0 then 9 Exit; 10 for i := 1 to Length(s) do 11 begin 12 if Ord(s[i]) in [9, 13, 32..254] then 13 SendMessage(h, WM_CHAR, Ord(s[i]), 0); 14 end; 15 end;

Exploring exposure risk and safe management of container-based sanitation systems: a case study from Kenya
Little has been studied about the potential risks and hazards arising from the use and operation of container-based sanitation (CBS) systems. Building on existing risk assessment frameworks, this case study aimed to identify exposure risks from faecal pathogens and relevant control measures in a CBS service chain. The case study employed a mixed-methods approach that included environmental sampling, key informant interviews, and direct observation. This inclusion of a behavioural dimension reflects a socio-cultural approach to risk analysis that is less evident in overtly quantitative approaches to risk assessment that are typical of the health risk field. Data from this case study was collected in Naivasha, Kenya in July 2016. The hazard intensity and role of specific transmission routes was validated by environmental sampling, which found a high level of faecal contamination on toilet surfaces and a consequent high risk of hand-to-mouth infection for users and operators. The hazard analysis identified nine critical control points where exposure risks may be either prevented or reduced via the implementation of relevant control measures. We discovered that the production of exposure risks was related to multiple, inter-related causal mechanisms and risk factors, findings we expect will guide approaches to exposure risk management in the future. -
Classifying occupational exposure risks and recommendations for their control in container-based sanitation systems
This practice paper concerns the management of occupational exposure risks during the operation of container-based sanitation (CBS) systems. The paper reports on findings based on three different CBS systems. An exposure risk assessment was conducted in each case study following a methodology adapted from the WHO Sanitation Safety Planning (SSP) Framework. The specific methods of data collection comprised a risk assessment workshop, as well as in-depth interviews and sanitary surveys to support and explain the findings from the risk assessment workshops. The analysis of the occupational exposure risks classified exposure risks into four categories of 'drivers' of exposure risk. These 'drivers' were supported by relevant secondary literature of exposure risk studies. The classification of hazardous events and exposure risks in CBS systems recognized: (1) the role of technical design and maintenance and condition of facilities, as well as manual aspects of labour; followed by (2) human behaviour; (3) system performance; and (4) physical environment. This classification is expected to simplify the exposure risk management process and provides a framework for the subsequent identification and management of occupational exposure in CBS systems. The framework is an additional tool within the sanitation safety planning toolkit to measure and manage exposure risks and thereby ensure safe sanitation performance. This research addresses a current knowledge gap in occupational exposure risks in CBS systems. The integration and use of these results in an adapted SSP framework may build a stronger business case for the adoption of CBS systems in city-wide urban sanitation sector planning.

Bootcamp EDE April 2015 with apprentice program
The next Bootcamp dates are now finalized.
April 25-27, 2015
Brantford, Ontario
Let colleagues who have yet to get their certification know about Bootcamp now. The positions fill up almost immediately every year.
Those who wish to obtain their Canadian Emergency Ultrasound Certification in one weekend can come to Brantford, Ontario and join the camp! Worth 25 Mainpro C/Section 1 credits.
A lot of instructors and machines are required to host this workshop. Over a three day period, almost 20 instructors, 14 ultrasound machines, and 100 models will be used to certify 20 physicians in basic point of care ultrasound. The logistics are scary and that's why we only hold this course a couple of times each year.
The April program is designed for those who have completed an introductory course recognized by CEUS such as EDE, EDTU, ECCU, Western U, U of Ottawa, U of Manitoba, etc.
You will get to review important techniques and content pre-conference with the EDE online course and pretest question bank. Then you get down to scanning immediately on day one!
We have maximized scanning time and patient flow so you will get your 200 determinate scans completed as well as three sets of exams.
This course insists on the highest standards. There are no short-cuts. We budget time for exam rewrites. We spend a lot of time on practical examinations (OSCE-like training) so you are prepared to supervise the next generation of POCUS candidates.
Our system lets learners move at their own speed. Those who need a little more time and more patients to scan get the extra attention they need. Those who are fast learners don't stand around waiting.
Apprentice Instructor Program
We run an apprentice instructor workshop program for those who are certified and wish to enhance their own skills or obtain master instructor status. Instructors get to attend a workshop on improving teaching skills, understanding ultrasound concepts in more detail, and have a chance to pick the brains of the most senior instructors. They assist in bedside teaching and get to view hundreds of scans in a concentrated format. No time wasted looking for patients to recruit. Just you, your machine, and lots of models and trainees! The improvement in your own abilities is enormous!
Not only that but lots of Mainpro C/Section 1 CME credits are available too!

Good morning Greg,
I practice as a full time solo physician in Cambridge Bay, situated at the western edge of Nunavut on Victoria Island and above the Arctic circle.
Cambridge Bay has a population of 1700, is the hub of the Kitikmeot region, and is surrounded by 4 other settlements accessible only by air.
We do not have an inpatient unit and our closest referral centre is Yellowknife, some 900 km south. All medevacs are by air.
I have been getting comfortable with the use of a pocket US device, the Vscan, and am about to purchase the newest version, the Vscan dual probe. The US tech who occasionally visits our region has also been offering me some instruction.
Flying down south is time consuming. It takes two days to reach my home in Ontario. And I'm wondering if I would be eligible to attend the EDE US bootcamp in Brantford, Ontario this coming fall.
To date, I have no formal EDE training but have been studying the point of care use of US on my own, practicing with the Vscan, and am passionate about acquiring this new skill in order to enhance the care we provide to the people of the Kitiklmeot.

Do you have a date for the 2016 course yet ?

IKEA Just Debuted The Ultimate One-Sheet Cooking Hack
The Recipe Series is more like an edible coloring book than a cookbook.
Published Jun 16, 2017 4:05 PM

IKEA is somewhat of a master at creating innovative products that make your life easier. Its smart lighting line brings the latest in home automation to you at an actually affordable price. It gives you the tools you need to DIY a mobile herb garden in under five minutes. The home goods retailer is even manufacturing a new way to put together furniture that will cut assembly time by 80% and eliminate the need for screws.
Now, IKEA is creating the ultimate cooking hack to shorten your meal prep time. And no, we're not talking about the delicious frozen meatballs (though if you haven't tried them, you're seriously missing out).
Introducing the IKEA Recipe Series, a cookbook unlike anything we've ever seen before. In lieu of traditional ingredient lists and step-by-step instructions, the cookbook is modeled as a culinary puzzle of sorts, with sketches of each ingredient (outlined precisely to reflect the required measurement) written in food-safe ink on sheets of parchment paper.
Assembly is easy: simply place the ingredients onto their corresponding diagrams, roll up the paper, and pop it into the oven. It's the ultimate one-pan meal with minimal clean-up and even less effort required.
"When it comes to cooking, most people are hesitant to break from routine," writes the instructional video (above) demonstrating the recipe series. "They find new foods and recipes to be intimidating. IKEA wanted to show people that getting creative can be deliciously simple."
The deliciously simple recipes in question are four dishes prepared entirely with IKEA products. The posters include instructions on how to assemble baked salmon, ravioli with meatballs, fruit cobbler, and a shrimp dish.
The recipe sheets were created as a marketing campaign by IKEA Canada in partnership with ad agency Leo Burnett, as part of the brand's
IKEA Kitchen Event. While it's currently unclear if and when the posters will be hitting the marketplace for everyone, we're hoping they do soon —if only so we can learn how to make one-sheet ravioli with meatballs.

text: The new Supergirl costume feels very different—and in this case, that's a good thing. See the entire suit after the Jump... Warner Bros. released the first shot of Melissa Benoist in costume for the new CBS series from Greg Berlanti, Ali Adler and Andrew Kreisberg. Gone are the days of the bright blue and red color scheme, as this Kara Zor-El appears to be taking a walk on the dark side—figuratively, of course. Also different from the costume Helen Slater donned in the '80s is that Kara is showing off less skin now that her boots go above her knees and she appears to be wearing stockings underneath. And she certainly isn't sporting the bare midriff Kara has often appeared with in the comics. The costume, designed by three-time Oscar winner Colleen Atwood, also feels very reminiscent of the texturized one Henry Cavill dons in Man of Steel, even down to the positioning of the cape.

Manchester United Football Club broke a then transfer record to bring in Juan Mata two years ago now, with the lovable Spaniard making an immediate impression amongst the fans. However, his time at Old Trafford may be drawing to an end.
Jose Mourinho and Juan Mata don't have the best of relationships, and that was evident during their time together at Chelsea, despite Mata winning their Player of the Year award for two seasons in a row.
Now, reports in Turkey are suggesting that Fenerbahce are to table a bid for Juan Mata during this transfer window. The move would be a loan deal, probably with a view to make the transfer permanent.
You'd imagine that the club would want to sell him permanently straight up though, to get him off their books immediately.
Manchester United and Fenerbahce seemingly have a pretty good relationship in the transfer market, as both Robin van Persie and Nani made the switch between the clubs last summer.

Hello, Movie Buffs!
It's Christmas time again in Aldovia and this time Queen Amber (Rose McIver) and King Richard (Ben Lamb) are preparing for their first child. Before they can take some much needed time off from their royal duties, they must first host King Tai (Kevin Shen) and Queen Ming (Momo Yeung) of Penglia in order to renew a 600-year-old sacred truce. But when the priceless treaty goes missing, continued peace between Aldovia and Penglia is put into jeopardy and an ancient curse looms of the royal family. In order to ensure the safety of their family and kingdom, Amber and Richard must uncover the motive and the thief before the clock strikes midnight on Christmas Eve and the two kingdoms are thrust into an unnecessary war.
Directed by John Schultz (A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding) and written by Karen Schaler (A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding) and Nathan Atkins (A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding), Netflix's A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby (2019) is the third film in the series that started in 2017 with A Christmas Prince and this time follows the next chapter in Queen Amber and King Richard's life: starting a family. Unlike the last film The Royal Wedding, this film is much more engaging and entertaining story-wise. There is the added element of mystery the elevates the story to a level that the last film did not achieve. The only issue that I found to be quite noticeable was the size of Amber's belly, which is better associated with someone who is only halfway through their pregnancy rather than in the last few weeks of pregnancy. Other than that, I found this to be a quite enjoyable and entertaining film that succeeded in rectifying the disappointment associated with the last film. On a side note, I would like to encourage you to pay close attention to the dialogue between Amber and Queen Ming as well as a number of easter eggs throughout the film. Because if I am not mistaken, the dialogue and the little hints suggest that the A Christmas Prince series resides in the same universe as another Netflix film, A Princess Switch (2018).
Once again the cast performances were good with the same cast - Rose McIver, Ben Lamb, Alice Krige, Honor Kneafsey, Sarah Douglas, Theo Devaney, Tahirah Sharif, Richard Ashton, Joel McVeagh, John Guerrasio, and MJ Lee - returning to reprise their previous roles and new cast members - Crystal Yu as Penglia advisor Lynn, Kevin Shen as King Tai, Momo Yeung as Queen Ming, and Madra Ihegborow as Dr. Magoro - providing new characters to the story. One aspect of the characters that I found to be quite amusing was that the biggest scene-stealer of the film was Amber's bump. Particularly the fact that she relied solely on bump cradling to get her through all manner of scenes, which is an obvious nod to the excessive bump cradling Meghan Markle did throughout her pregnancy with Archie. Overall, A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby (2019) is a successful installment in the series and another notch of Netflix's Christmas belt. The story is generic and simple but it adds an element of mystery that most films of its kind do not possess. Expect to roll your eyes at Amber's bump, both because it fails to be the appropriate size for someone nearing the end of their pregnancy and because the excessive bump cradling pokes fun at another famous royal who did the same thing in overabundance. The cast performances were good and the new characters add to the story and even a little bit of its mystery. I highly recommend that you check out this film and make sure that you keep an eye out for some easter eggs that hint of a Netflix-Christmas-movie-universe.

Rebels Northwoods Invitational (Cancelled)
(All Races Two Miles)
Location: Northwoods Park, Brooklyn Park
Weather: Upper 60s, likely wet, with a 70% chance of thunderstorms
Virtual Meet Projection: Hopkins (19.5), Champlin Park (81), Rogers (84.5), Edina (84.5)
Top Individuals: Eli Hoeft (Hopkins, 15:52), Nikolai Schmanski (Hopkins, 16:45), Alek Wormuth (Hopkins, 16:51), Alexander Heidorn (Rogers, 17:01), Danny Kloeppner (Champlin Park, 17:11)
The Skinny: With Edina sitting out their top seven, both the team and individual titles for this two mile race seem likely to be swept by Hopkins. Eli Hoeft comes in with a 5K mark almost a minute ahead of the rest of the field and should grab the dub in this shorter race without much trouble. The real battles will be for second place: individually between Hoeft's teammates Nikolai Schmanski and Alek Wormouth, and in the team competition between Champlin Park, Rogers, and Edina, who fall within a lean 3.5 point spread. With eleven guys who've run under 17:30 for the 5K, the fight to round out the top ten individuals will be fierce as well. Count on the first race of the season to bring some new faces to the top...if the storms holds off.
Virtual Meet Projection: Edina (57), Hopkins (64), Shakopee (86), Monticello (86)
Top Individuals: Riviera Wock (Orono, 19:03), Jayda Becker (Shakopee, 19:06), Elise Yeager (Monticello, 19:15), Berit Schuveiller (Edina, 19:15), Gabrielle Witschen (Monticello, 19:40), Madeline Kelly (Providence Academy, 19:14 [2016])
The Skinny: Though the Edina girls are also holding off their top seven runners, by 5K projection their second team still holds a narrow lead over Hopkins. Shakopee and Monticello, led by Jayda Becker and Elise Yeager, respectively, fall to a dead heat not far behind. While it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Edina girls come up with the win, trust in the shorter race distance to shake things up. By 2-mile time, Witschen of Monticello holds the edge individually with an 11:22 on the track, followed by her teammate Yeager (11:27), though seven runners come in with faster 5K PRs. Additionally, Jayda Becker of Shakopee proved that she can perform at the beginning of the season by placing fourth at this same race last year against a full-strength Edina squad. Hopkins and Edina will aim to fill the rest of the spots in the top ten to secure their team finishes. And finally, keep an eye out for Madeline Kelly in her first XC race in almost two years.

SALT LAKE CITY — With the future of national tax policy at stake in Washington, D.C., local business leaders are appealing to Utah lawmakers to make updating the state's tax policy a top priority in the upcoming legislative session.
The Salt Lake Chamber Thursday unveiled a new effort calling for the modernization of Utah's tax code. Leaders of the state's largest business association said adapting Utah's tax code to the current business environment is among the most urgent matters the Legislature should address in the next session.
"Now is the time for tax modernization," said Lane Beattie, president and CEO of the Salt Lake Chamber. "In order to ensure the kind of future Utahns want to see for our children and grandchildren, real investments are required. Investments in education and infrastructure are necessary as our state continues to grow."
He said continuing to rely on the existing tax code 'just won't cut it.'" Noting that the sales tax base has changed over the years, local tax revenues have been squarely impacted by the digitization of goods, legislative exemptions and changing retail buying patterns, he said.
Speaking during a news conference in downtown Salt Lake City, Beattie said that as one of the fastest-growing states and innovative economies in the country, Utah should devise an upgraded tax code that secures the resources necessary to meet future needs.
"As a leader, we support tax policies in the state that strengthen Utah's economy," Beattie said. "It's important that we have a properly balanced approach, tax simplification and revenue sufficient that is fair for all of the citizens of Utah."
Beattie was joined by chamber executive board members Cindy Crane, Rocky Mountain Power president and CEO, and Vance Checketts, Dell EMC vice president and general manager. They said the campaign is an effort to raise the profile of this critical issue and help the public understand the need to update the state tax code, and encourage the Legislature to take action.
Checketts added that providing adequate education funding is one of the reasons the tax code needs to be modernized. He said that if the state wanted to continue its current economic growth trend, a concerted effort must be made to ensure Utah can supply the educated workforce needed by employers today and in the years to come.
"We are a high-profile, high-growth state, and we have to provide companies like (Dell EMC, Rocky Mountain Power) and thousands of others the workforce that has the skills of our current century," he said. "We have to do this to maintain our competitiveness."
Relying on the same old tax code and the fiscal constraints to invest in our future just won't cut it any longer.
–Vance Checketts, Dell EMC
He added that for the next generations of workers to be prepared, the state will have to devise ways to generate tax revenues that will support "the quality workforce of the future."
"Relying on the same old tax code and the fiscal constraints to invest in our future just won't cut it any longer," Checketts said. "For instance, sales tax has eroded significantly in recent decades. Our tax base is shrinking, due in part to changes in the economy and remote sales that have made Utah's tax code a thing of the past."
Since 1980, the state's sales tax base has shrunk relative to the economy by nearly 30 percent, a news release stated.
"Modernizing the tax code is an opportunity to not just catch up to the new economy," he said. "It's a chance to enhance Utah's overall funding for education and to ensure that we're investing in the future to have the talent that companies need to compete."
He added increased tax revenue would also provide for needed infrastructure improvements needed for the state's growing population.
Crane said the state needs to position itself for the future, and upgrading the tax code is a good way to get started, especially as it competes with other states to lure economic development.
"While we have an extremely competitive tax climate in Utah, our state still trails many of our competitors in truly creating the economic environment that's necessary to attract large headquarter businesses and advanced manufacturing businesses," she said. "We need to make sure that as other states are catching up with us that we stay ahead of the curve and keep our competitive position. It's absolutely critical as we move forward."
She said improving the Utah tax code would create a fairer system that evens the playing field and ensures the taxes collected "are spent very wisely."
Additionally, modernization would keep the state's tax climate among the nation's best, she said.
"Keeping up with the changing economy (would) ensure that we could make the strategic investments that we need to keep our economy leading the nation," Crane said.

Game Design: Memorable Music
10 Memorable Music
Next to Combat, Music is the second most important facet of the game.
Players might forget everything in a game, but not the music, because it talks directly to the heart.
The goal of Mechdamon is to have memorable music that can enhance the engagement of the players and that they can enjoy outside the game.
10.1 Listenable on Its Own
The music should be pleasant and enjoyable to listen to on its own and outside the game.
10.2 8 and 80 Music Test
Both an 8-year-old child and an 80-year-old person should be able to find the music pleasant and enjoyable.
10.3 Thematic Music
Music should reflect the theme of each major character, location, and enemy.
10.3.1 Mechdamon Theme
The game as a whole should have a very recognizable theme, the Mechdamon Theme.
In 1.2.2 (Pull to Continue), we shared that the second-best music should play during the first gaming session of the player. This music should ideally be the Mechdamon Theme.
10.4 Delightful Opening
The Mechdamon Theme should be among the most delightful music in the game as it opens the adventure for the player.

Begin far away.
Make stops as you approach.
Stand still … inhale the scent of the air.
Listen for messages.
Get closer.
Touch something unusual.
Note how the light falls.
Let your tears fall.
Send a prayer out on the wind.

See something very close up.
Look at the horizon.
Feel yourself between the two.

Tuesday, November 2, 2021 | 3:00 – 4:30pm ET, 2:00 - 3:30pm CT, 1:00-2:30pm MT, 12:00 - 1:30pm PT
There is growing recognition of the value of coordinating health care, affordable housing, and social services for people with complex health needs and histories of housing instability, including people experiencing homelessness and those leaving prisons and jails. Increasingly there is interest across hospitals, managed care organizations, local governments, public housing authorities, social service providers, state Medicaid agencies, and state housing entities to work together to efficiently and effectively meet the needs of vulnerable populations. This is raising unique issues at the intersection of housing, health policy, and financing.
At the same time, a new administration is in place and setting new priorities for expanding access to health and housing, including ensuring approaches are creating equitable access. This webinar will provide an overview of the current health care and housing policy landscape, including identifying key issues that health and housing organizations can mobilize to support, and the status of legislative issues that are currently being considered by the Administration and Congress.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the current federal-state policy landscape at the intersection of health and housing
- Learn how Medicaid can be maximized to meet the needs of people experiencing homelessness and what other policy solutions are needed to address Medicaid 'gaps'
- Identify key policy and/or legislative proposals being prioritized by advocates and those being advanced by the administration and Congress
- Alexa Eggleston, Audacia Consulting LLC (Moderator)
- Jennifer Sullivan, Director of Housing and Health Integration, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
- Anna Bailey, Senior Policy Analyst, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
- Kathy Moses, MPH, Senior Fellow, Center for Health Care Strategies
How to Register:
Please RSVP for this webinar using the button below. A Funders Together staff person will approve your registration, and you will receive a link from Zoom to join.

Plenty of artsy things have happened since my last post (long ago in November!), but for now, I'll share a drawing I finished earlier today. This is one of the two scratchboard drawings I've submitted to the International Society of Scratchboard Artists' 2015 exhibition. I'll find out next month if my entries are accepted. Update: the drawing was accepted and has since traveled to Frederick MD and back.
This 5″ x 7″ illustration of a Tufted Titmouse is titled "Jackpot!" I ran across the reference photo in a Facebook group: The Great Backyard Bird Count, where members post their photos. It's not that I don't have plenty of my own reference photos, but this particular photo really caught my eye – the bird on the jar with a mealworm made for a great composition. I also knew the jar would be an interesting subject to scratch. The photographer, Heather Sinon, graciously allowed me to use her photo. Heather feeds birds at her place in CT and sets out jars of mealworms for them. The birder in me feels compelled to point out that we have a Titmouse species here in CA, but not the Tufted, ours is the Oak Titmouse.
I scanned the drawing a couple of times during the process, below are those scans, along with Heather's photo (I cropped the background out), and 3 details of the final drawing.
This is the "all scratched" version, just before I added color.

Roland Rumm
Roland Rumm fell into the world of birding rather recently, but has quickly established himself as a quality guide due to a life long passion for the tropics and nature in general.
Roland was born in Germany and moved to Honduras with his parents when he was 12 years old. His new surroundings (the tropics of the New World) captured Roland's interest and he spent his teens exploring most of the northern Honduran coast as well as the islands of the western Caribbean. Roland wasn't exposed to many birders in his early years, and didn't really enter this fascinating hobby until 2015. He has since spent many thousands hours in the field, and now leads birding tours professionally throughout northern Central America. He has discovered three country records for Honduras and is a regional eBird reviewer in the area.
Roland has a vast knowledge of local culture and history and is well-known throughout the region. As noted by a client: the secret password for Central America might just be to mention "Roland Rumm", as it seems to open all doors and produces very happy faces!
Roland lives together with his wife Julia and their two sons on the island of Guanaja, 40 miles north of Trujillo, Honduras. This is where he can be found whenever he's not in the lowland rainforests of the region or on some remote volcano in Guatemala.
- Guatemala (1-11 April 2024 with extension to 16 Apr) Waitlist only
- Guatemala (Mar 26 to Apr 5, 2025 with extension to 10 Apr)
"Roland was a spectacular addition as local leader to the trip. He is so positive, energetic, and helpful. He would do anything to help us and that was greatly appreciated. His birding knowledge is also exceptional. He worked so well with Luke and was continual finding birds to show us. He has amazing field skills and know the regional birds so well. Roland also added so much when it came to culture and history. I loved asking him about these topics and he could talk at length about what seemed like anything. For those of us who love immersing ourselves in all aspects of another country, having a local leader like Roland just made the trip!"

Night Transport in Sofia Starts from Easter
Domestic | March 9, 2018, Friday // 16:15| viewsArchive
Four night bus lines will cross Sofia from April 7 - a day before Easter. They will link major neighborhoods of the city and their routes will cross Alexander Batenberg Square, reports mediapool.
Night buses will run from 0am to 4am, and the cost will be 2 leva per traveler. This was announced by Deputy Mayor of Transport in Sofia Municipality Evgeni Krussev on Friday. The night lines will be marked with N and the corresponding number from 1 to 4. The first line buses will move from "Lyulin" 1 and 2 to "Mladost 4". The second route is from Obelya through "Nadezhda" to "Studentski grad". A third line will connect bc. "Ovcha kupel" 2 and "Levski" quarter, and the fourth will be from Druzhba 2 to Gotse Delchev. The four routes have a common stop on " Al. Batenberg" square. There they will stay for 5 minutes to allow passengers to have time to grab the bus. The buses on the four routes will run in 40 minutes.
The night travel will cost 2 leva, and the card will be sold by a conductor in every bus that will mark the date it is bought. Subscription cards for other public transport lines will not be available for night rides, since only daily trips are included in the price.
The night transport will run experimentally until the end of the year and its cost is estimated at 900 000 BGN. If the experience is successful, buses at night will remain permanent. The municipality expects the lines to be used by people with "active social life", foreign tourists and people working at night. A local government survey showed that 30% of outsourcing and IT companies need transport for their employees at night.
They would talk to them instead of taxi vouchers to buy them tickets for night buses. This is another attempt by the municipality to launch urban transport at night. A few years ago there were three such lines in the city, the crossing point of which was in front of the National Library. However, their traffic intervals were not synchronized.

Next month, the tabletop wargame set in Tamriel, Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms, will receive a special Dragonborn Triumphant miniature well ahead of the game's official launch. The first 1000 pre-orders of the miniature will be released June 15th with subsequent orders being shipped July and August.
The Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms builds on the core mechanics of Modiphius' Fallout: Wasteland Warfare game system, but has been rewritten and reworked by designer Mark Latham (The Walking Dead: All Out War, The Harry Potter Miniatures Adventure Game, Editor White Dwarf Magazine) to suit the world and inhabitants of The Elder Scrolls franchise.
Featuring high quality 32mm resin figures, each with its own unique custom base, the skirmish system sees fan favourite heroes like Hadvar, Ralof, Yrsarald Thrice-Pierced, Marcurio, Mjoll the Lioness, Ulfric Stormcloak, Galmar Stone-Fist, General Tullius and Lydia. The player's heroes lead groups of henchmen on adventures inside Dwemer Ruins, Draugr-infested Nord Tombs, and through the frozen wilderness.
As well as controlling their troops, players will also need to manage the stamina and Magicka resources their models bring to the table, all the while watching out for hostile AI driven enemies and narrative events that can change the flow of battle. Players can play against each other or team up (or play solo) to take on all manner of creatures and adversaries driven by Modiphius' advanced AI system.
Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms can be played solo or with a group fighting against wide variety of familiar enemies. The first wave will be released as a two-player starter set. While the miniature is being released in June, the game itself will be released in time for the 2019 holiday season. For more information, visit the official website.

Over the last three decades—in the period 1980 to 2014—the number of people with diabetes has soared from 108 million to 415 million. And, by 2040, there will be 642 million diabetic patients.
These staggering numbers have always been a matter of great concern in the global health community. But, today, it has become even more alarming, since several medical studies suggest diabetic patients are most vulnerable to serious coronavirus complications.
Clinical professor of pharmacy practice at Purdue University, Dr. Jasmine Gonzalvo, says,
"It's not that diabetic patients have a high risk of contracting the disease, but they have a higher risk of complications." Further, she added, "If they are following social distancing recommendations and washing hands, they are at no higher risk, from what we know, of contracting the disease."
Diabetes is a big risk factor for COVID-19 patients
Coronavirus infection is a double whammy for diabetic people. The WHO and many medical institutes across the globe have reported diabetes is one of the most significant factors that affect the severity of COVID-19 infection.
Diabetic patients have to maintain their body sugar levels with decreased or variable intake of food. Diabetes is a significant risk factor for mortality and hospitalization from coronavirus infection.
What explains the increased risk of diabetes?
First things first, people living with diabetes— Type 1 or Type 2—doesn't mean they are more likely to catch this novel virus than those without it.
Instead, diabetic patients are at high risk of developing severe medical complications from any infectious virus, including influenza and related complications such as secondary bacterial pneumonia.
Because people with diabetes have a compromised immune system. Their immune-response is impaired and both linked to cytokine profile and T-cell and macrophage activation.
Novel corona and other viruses thrive in an elevated blood glucose environment.
Diabetes further keeps the body in a state of low-level inflammation, and this makes the healing process any infectious slower. So, high blood sugar levels, coupled with a persistent inflammatory state, make it pretty difficult for diabetic patients to recover from viral infections like COVID-19.
"These preliminary findings suggest that in the United States, persons with underlying health conditions or other recognized risk factors for severe outcomes from respiratory infections appear to be at a higher risk for severe disease from COVID-19 than are persons without these Conditions," as per the Center for Disease Control.
It is perhaps a plausible explanation of why the mortality rate is quite high among people with diabetes compared with general mortality from coronavirus around the globe.
Recently, it has also been seen that obese type 2 diabetic patients at a higher risk of severe COVID-19 infection.
What diabetic people and their families need to do?
If you've got diabetes, take necessary precautions to protect yourself from coronavirus. There are many recommendations issued in the interest of the general public by states and medical experts; still, they are doubly important for diabetic patients or someone in your close contact.
- Regularly wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- During this COVID-19 lockdown don't step out of your house, unless it is something bigger than your life.
- Avoid touching your eyes and face
- Disinfect surfaces and objects that are touched frequently, other than you and your family members.
- Avoid contact with anyone having signs of respiratory illness like coughing and sneezing.
- Wear a cloth face mask in public.
- Don't forget the social distance of 6 feet, even with a friendly guy next door.
- If you are feeling ill with any flu-like symptoms, stay at home, stay safe.
Anyone with diabetes experiencing symptoms of coronavirus such as the dry cough, high-fever, or breathlessness, must contact their health care provider immediately. And, if the doctor recommends, get tested for COVID-19 to clear any sort of doubt.
There are different types of coronavirus testing methods. It includes a swab test, antibiotic test using ELISA kit, nasal aspirate, sputum test, and Tracheal aspirate
Although people living with diabetes are at risk of developing more severe complications from any viral infection, it is possible to alleviate that by maintaining the body's blood sugar levels.
- Follow a healthy lifestyle, including 30-minutes of indoor yoga to your daily routine during these lockdown days,
- Reduce the amount of saturated fat in your diet,
- Most importantly, stay away from the stress and anxiety
- Use technology to stay in touch with your physician to monitor your blood sugar levels and take regular advice to stay healthy during this tough global crisis.

Ahead of Giving Tuesday, IDinsight's new Giving Green initiative (beta) was featured in Vox's list of recommendations about where to donate to effectively fight climate change.
Giving Green is designed to help donors, businesses, and individuals answer a simple question: "How can I best allocate funds to fight climate change?" While the question is simple, it has no simple answer.
A new project at IDinsight seeks to identifying greenhouse gas-reducing giving opportunities backed with the best available research and evidence, so donors can actually move the needle on climate change. We broadly recommend two categories of donations: short-term donations, which seek to cause immediate, verifiable decreases in GHG emissions; and long-term donations, which seek to make bigger, riskier bets to address climate change that have a longer timeframe.
Our initial analysis has so far produced one short-term opportunity: BURN's fuel efficient stoves in Kenya. BURN's impact on fuel usage (and therefore greenhouse gas emissions) was validated by a recent randomized controlled trial or RCT), which sets it apart from the mixed results of other cookstove providers. Additionally, these stoves provide households with major economic benefits due to reduced fuel costs for cooking. You cannot purchase offsets linked to BURN stoves directly online, but you can do so by contacting BURN at email@example.com. Alternatively, you can make a donation to BURN directly here.
We feel comfortable making three long-term recommendations based on outside research. A report by Founder's Pledge recommends two top charities in the fight against climate change: the Clean Air Task Force, which does policy advocacy with the US government on environmental issues; and the Coalition for Rainforest Nations, an international non-profit that incentivizes forest conservation. You can donate to these two organizations directly through their websites. Let's Fund has conducted research into effective giving for climate change, and recommends donating to The Clean Energy Innovation Program at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), a think tank that focuses on clean energy policy. You can donate through the Let's Fund donation mechanism.
Giving Green is a new initiative and a work in progress. We are actively looking for support to continue this work in order to provide more and better-researched donation options. Please email us at email@example.com if interested.

The German Air Force's plan to procure an advanced U.S.-built airborne electronic attack aircraft, the EA-18G Growler, appears somewhat in doubt in the aftermath of Berlin's decision to acquire 35 F-35As for that nation's nuclear weapons deterrent role. There are five reasons why Germany should still move forward with its plan to acquire the Growler. First, as the current war in Europe demonstrates, electronic warfare and the suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) will be critical to a high-end fight. Second, there is no better electronic warfare aircraft in the world than the Growler. The Growler is specifically designed to conduct the full range of Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations, defined as military operations designed to exploit, protect, attack, and manage the electromagnetic spectrum. Third, the marriage of the F-35A and EA-18G will give the German Air Force a more credible nuclear deterrent. Fourth, integrating German and U.S. Growlers will enhance both nations' militaries. Fifth, there is no other affordable option that can meet the planned date for retiring the German Air Force's EW-capable Tornados. I have written more on this subject here.
