In Search Of Mizoroki And Heck
Folks who read my story on named reactions this week might wonder why I chose to highlight the Heck reaction, or Mizoroki-Heck reaction. Sure, it's one of the most well-known reactions in organic chemistry, but how'd I narrow it down?
Well, the answer is that I didn't narrow anything down. Reading the phrase "Mizoroki-Heck reaction" was what got me interested in the topic of named reactions in the first place. Last fall, I wrote a short news story about a new process that had the potential to complement the chemistry. I got my Ph.D. in an organic chemistry lab, so I'd certainly read about the Heck reaction even though I'd never gotten a chance to use it. So reading "Mizoroki-Heck" caught me by surprise. (Note: there was a discussion of this last fall on CBC that I'd missed until recently). I started asking around about the name. And then I started asking about the men behind it. I just happened to get lucky that the story had so many layers.
I worked on this story on-and-off for months, simultaneously trying to track down Mizoroki and Heck. Working from home during the big snowstorms that paralyzed DC, I reached Doug Taber at the University of Delaware, who was a former colleague of Heck's. The best way to reach Heck in the Philippines was by phone, I learned. Taber gave me Heck's phone number, but when I called I got an incomprehensible recording, presumably in the Tagalog language. But wait a minute, I thought. Maureen (that's C&EN's deputy-editor-in-chief Maureen Rouhi) speaks Tagalog. She can help.
So early the next morning, Maureen dialed Heck's phone number. Thanks to her, I scored a 7AM interview with the man himself a few days later. Speaking with Heck over the phone was surreal. He was funny and self-deprecating. He recalled meeting Mizoroki once, but couldn't remember the details of their meeting. During the entire interview, I could hear a "ka-chunk" sound in the background. That was his washing machine.
In my story, I described how Heck retired in 1989 after he ran into problems finding funding for his research. I also mentioned that in 2006, he returned to the bench and one of his first loves, cobalt carbonyl chemistry, for a sabbatical at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada. Victor Snieckus hosted Heck during the sabbatical, but he hadn't been able to reach Heck by phone or letter for some time. I was happy to be able to pass along the correct contact information. In return Snieckus provided several photos from Heck's sabbatical time to C&EN, and here we're posting the best of them for your viewing pleasure.
We almost ran the story without a photo of Tsutomu Mizoroki, the late Japanese chemist who published the first example of what most chemists call the Heck reaction. Emeritus professor Jiro Tsuji and Takakazu Yamamoto of Tokyo Institute of Technology helped me piece together Mizoroki's story, but a photo of Mizoroki that Tsuji sent got lost in the mail. And officials at the Center for Public Information at Tokyo Tech, where Mizoroki worked until his death, had a photo but did not have permission to release it to me. (During my quest I was treated to the Center's hold muzak for a bit. Imagine a tinny MIDI version of Mendelssohn's Spring Song. Over and over.) When I started my research, I couldn't believe that people had written entire tomes about the reaction and none of them had Mizoroki's photo. Yes, the chemistry is a critically important part, but I just wanted to see what Mizoroki looked like.
The day my story was due, I got Mizoroki's photo at last- chemical historian Jeff Seeman had put out a call for help on my behalf some time earlier, and via Koji Nakanishi of Columbia University, I got in touch with Takashi Takahashi and Shinichiro Fuse of Tokyo Tech. Not sure what they told the Center for Public Information, but I got the photo that we ran in the magazine the next day. With help from Mizoroki's daughter, Ms. Akiko Morita, Takahashi even managed to dig up another photo, shown here. I still hold out hope that the original photo from Tsuji will show up in the mail someday. But I couldn't have written this story without the help of dozens of chemists around the world, and I'd like to say thank you to them all.

Genesis 27 New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
Chapter 27
Jacob's Deception.[a] 1 When Isaac was so old that his eyesight had failed him, he called his older son Esau and said to him, "My son!" "Here I am!" he replied. 2 Isaac then said, "Now I have grown old. I do not know when I might die. 3 So now take your hunting gear—your quiver and bow—and go out into the open country to hunt some game for me. 4 Then prepare for me a dish in the way I like, and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you[b] before I die."
5 Rebekah had been listening while Isaac was speaking to his son Esau. So when Esau went out into the open country to hunt some game for his father, 6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "Listen! I heard your father tell your brother Esau, 7 'Bring me some game and prepare a dish for me to eat, that I may bless you with the Lord's approval before I die.' 8 Now, my son, obey me in what I am about to order you. 9 Go to the flock and get me two choice young goats so that with these I might prepare a dish for your father in the way he likes. 10 Then bring it to your father to eat, that he may bless you before he dies." 11 But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, "But my brother Esau is a hairy man and I am smooth-skinned! 12 Suppose my father feels me? He will think I am making fun of him, and I will bring on myself a curse instead of a blessing." 13 His mother, however, replied: "Let any curse against you, my son, fall on me! Just obey me. Go and get me the young goats."
14 So Jacob went and got them and brought them to his mother, and she prepared a dish in the way his father liked. 15 Rebekah then took the best clothes of her older son Esau that she had in the house, and gave them to her younger son Jacob to wear; 16 and with the goatskins she covered up his hands and the hairless part of his neck. 17 Then she gave her son Jacob the dish and the bread she had prepared.
18 Going to his father, Jacob said, "Father!" "Yes?" replied Isaac. "Which of my sons are you?" 19 Jacob answered his father: "I am Esau, your firstborn. I did as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me." 20 But Isaac said to his son, "How did you get it so quickly, my son?" He answered, "The Lord, your God, directed me." 21 Isaac then said to Jacob, "Come closer, my son, that I may feel you, to learn whether you really are my son Esau or not." 22 So Jacob moved up closer to his father. When Isaac felt him, he said, "Although the voice is Jacob's, the hands are Esau's." 23 (He failed to identify him because his hands were hairy, like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.) 24 Again Isaac said, "Are you really my son Esau?" And Jacob said, "I am." 25 Then Isaac said, "Serve me, my son, and let me eat of the game so that I may bless you." Jacob served it to him, and Isaac ate; he brought him wine, and he drank. 26 Finally his father Isaac said to him, "Come closer, my son, and kiss me." 27 As Jacob went up to kiss him, Isaac smelled the fragrance of his clothes. With that, he blessed him, saying,
"Ah, the fragrance of my son
30 Jacob had scarcely left his father after Isaac had finished blessing him, when his brother Esau came back from his hunt. 31 Then he too prepared a dish, and bringing it to his father, he said, "Let my father sit up and eat some of his son's game, that you may then give me your blessing." 32 His father Isaac asked him, "Who are you?" He said, "I am your son, your firstborn son, Esau." 33 Isaac trembled greatly. "Who was it, then," he asked, "that hunted game and brought it to me? I ate it all just before you came, and I blessed him. Now he is blessed!" 34 As he heard his father's words, Esau burst into loud, bitter sobbing and said, "Father, bless me too!" 35 When Isaac said, "Your brother came here by a ruse and carried off your blessing," 36 Esau exclaimed, "He is well named Jacob, is he not! He has supplanted me[c] twice! First he took away my right as firstborn, and now he has taken away my blessing." Then he said, "Have you not saved a blessing for me?" 37 Isaac replied to Esau: "I have already appointed him your master, and I have assigned to him all his kindred as his servants; besides, I have sustained him with grain and wine. What then can I do for you, my son?" 38 But Esau said to his father, "Have you only one blessing, father? Bless me too, father!" and Esau wept aloud. 39 His father Isaac said in response:
"See, far from the fertile earth
41 Esau bore a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. Esau said to himself, "Let the time of mourning for my father come, so that I may kill my brother Jacob." 42 When Rebekah got news of what her older son Esau had in mind, she summoned her younger son Jacob and said to him: "Listen! Your brother Esau intends to get his revenge by killing you. 43 So now, my son, obey me: flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran, 44 and stay with him a while until your brother's fury subsides— 45 until your brother's anger against you subsides and he forgets what you did to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back. Why should I lose both of you in a single day?"
Jacob Sent to Laban. 46 Rebekah said to Isaac: "I am disgusted with life because of the Hittite women. If Jacob also should marry a Hittite woman, a native of the land, like these women, why should I live?"

The Herald
Tendai Mugabe Senior Reporter
Former Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Dr Joram Gumbo has denied any wrongdoing in corporate governance malpractices that dogged the Zimbabwe National Road Administration during his tenure.
The malpractices range from alleged abuse of money and flouting of corporate governance tenets.
Dr Gumbo was recently reassigned to the Ministry of Energy and Power Development.
Documents in our possession reveal that Dr Gumbo directly withdrew allowances from Zinara.
On corporate governance malpractices that border on a clear case of conflict of interest, Dr Gumbo's company JMCD won a lucrative tender to supply clothing material to Zinara.
Further, on some occasions Dr Gumbo was paid money for other engagements by Zinara, which had nothing to do with road development. In an interview with The Herald, Dr Gumbo said there was nothing wrong with the dealings.
He told The Herald that his company won the tender competitively and the same company was also supplying other Government departments.
Asked if there was no conflict of interest in having his company supplying material to a line state enterprise under his ministry, Dr Gumbo said: "I have a company called JMCD. It is our company and the directors are myself and my wife. It is a sewing company. It is supplying the army, Zanu-PF, the Ministry of Health (and Child Care) and many other companies. It won these tenders. It has got nothing to do with me as an individual.
"I cannot go and stop a company and say you can't tender. It is not possible and the fact that I am working and when the company supplies the army and the Ministry of Health it is okay, but when they supply Zinara because they have won a tender competitively like everybody else then it becomes a crime. I do not understand it. When they won their tender I was not even involved, but the company is there and there is nothing to hide about it. It is connected with Nemchem and was supplying a lot of things in Government. We are doing a lot of cleaning and it did not start now. That has always been happening."
One of the Zinara receipts in possession of The Herald subtitled: Application for advances and authority travel, Dr Gumbo on April 12, 2018, signed for an allowance of US$1 295.
"I Honourable Dr JM Gumbo am applying for $1 295 for the following purposes: Trips on official business during the period April 12 to April 16, 2018."
The purpose of the allowances according to the receipt was for the minister to go on a continuous assessment of roads in the Midlands Province.
Asked how he was directly accessing allowances from Zinara instead of the Department of Roads in his ministry, Dr Gumbo said everything to do with roads Zinara had to pay.
He said the ministry only supplies fuel coupons for 650 litres for such engagements.
"When you go out as a minister you apply for assistance because you do not have the money for hotels and all your staff so there is nothing wrong," he said.
"Zinara is for roads. From the ministry you are only given 650 (litres) coupons, but because you are going out you do not go alone. You go with a team to visit the roads. So if you are going to visit all the roads in the Midlands you get the funding from them. Zinara is for roads so they will assist you to go out and do work that we are supposed to do.
"Every time you saw me in Nkayi, Chipinge, in Mashonaland Central or anywhere else, accommodation, food and all the other expenses were being paid for by Zinara."
In another case, Zinara paid for $4 380 for Dr Gumbo's travel expenses to Malaysia on Zim Airways business. Asked why Zinara was paying his costs that had nothing to do with road development Dr Gumbo said it was official Government business.
"What happened when we started this thing about Zim Airways, we were going on trips to Malaysia," he said.
"The point was that Zim Airways did not have money. You could not then get money from Air Zimbabwe because they were strained and they could not pay because it was now like two separate accounts or entities — Air Zimbabwe on its own, Zim Airways on its own.
"But then how do you go to Malaysia and do Government business, we needed money to go there. What we then did at the ministry was then to say let's look at a parastatal that can fund the trip so that's is how we did it. Zinara was the only place where we could get money, but still it was Government business."
Zim Airways is yet to operate and recent reports suggested the plane was flown back to Malaysia for maintenance without making a single commercial business trip.

Work Wednesday: Leopard Print Pumps
Dress (similar): TJ Maxx (store) Pink Rose (designer)/ Necklace (similar): New York & Company/ Blazer (similar): Target/ Watch (similar): TJ Maxx (store) Michael Kors (designer)/ Pumps: Target
Pointed toe pumps are a great addition to any work look because they are sophisticated and professional, as they also lengthen your legs. Finding a pair in a pattern, such as leopard, looks modern and adds a touch of personality to any outfit. Leopard works as a neutral, so wearing them with a burgundy dress and printed blazer in the same color looks chic. Adding a long gold necklace and rose gold watch are professional touches, but incorporate shine in small doses. Be sure visit back on Friday to see how I style this week's "Perfect Piece", the leopard print pumps, into a fancy look!
Stay Classy!

The Chœur classique de l'Outaouais will perform in "A Chorus of Voices!", the closing concert of the Classical Spree at the Maison symphonique de Montréal, at 11 am on August 13, 2017. The choir will share the stage with seven other amateur ensembles, uniting their voices in the stirring grand finale of the celebrated "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
Gatineau, August 1, 2017 — The Chœur classique de l'Outaouais is delighted to have been chosen to sing in the Classical Spree 2017 closing concert, at the Maison symphonique de Montréal at 11 am on August 13, 2017. Conducted by Tiphaine Legrand, the choir's musical director, and accompanied by pianist Frédéric Lacroix, the choir will present two works from its repertoire: the Ave Verum Corpus by William Byrd, along with the fourth movement of François-Hugues Leclair's Enchantements du monde. To crown the event, the choir will have the privilege of joining with seven other choirs, including the OSM Amateur Choir, to perform the Ave Verum Corpus by Mozart, the "Agnus Dei" from Fauré's Requiem, as well as Beethoven's "Ode to Joy", under the direction of Maestro Nagano with none other than Jean-Willy Kunz at the organ.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime concert and a dream come true for our choir members, our accompanist, and myself! Andrew Megill, the conductor of the OSM amateur choir, and someone who is renowned as one of the best choral conductors of his generation, will be giving the choir a master class and I am sure this will be another landmark event in this amazing musical experience," said Tiphaine Legrand. The Chœur classique de l'Outaouais would like to convey its sincere thanks to the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal and the Alliance chorale du Québec for working closely together on this concert, as it allowed every amateur choir in Quebec to submit an application to sing on this stage. For more details about the concert and to purchase tickets, please go to the OSM website: http://vireeclassique.osm.ca/the-ode-to-joy/?lang=en
About A CHORUS OF VOICES!
The project came about as the result of a cooperative effort between the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal and the Alliance chorale du Québec. A panel of judges made up of choral professionals met at the end of March 2017 and assessed the submissions from choirs who had sent the Alliance an application to take part in this event. Twenty-five applications were received. The panel selected seven amateur choirs from Quebec that present high-quality performances to sing at the Maison symphonique de Montréal in the closing concert of the Classical Spree 2017.

About the Chœur classique de l'Outaouais
Founded in 1986, the Chœur classique de l'Outaouais was originally named the Hull Chamber Orchestra Choir. In 1993, the choir and orchestra parted ways and the choir has performed since then under the name "Chœur classique de l'Outaouais".
Comprising approximately 65 members, the Chœur classique de l'Outaouais has been directed by Tiphaine Legrand since 2011, and accompanied by pianist and organist Frédéric Lacroix for the past 11 years. The choir performs great works of the choral tradition, as well as new, contemporary compositions. Its repertoire makes it possible for it to assist the development of regional composers, as well as familiarizing its audience with works by Quebec and Canadian 3 composers. Concerts by the Chœur classique de l'Outaouais increase exposure for professional musicians and soloists in the region.
In 1998, the choir won the "Creation of the Year" award at the Culturiades gala put on by the City of Hull for its performance of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana before an audience of 5,000 people at the Robert Guertin Arena, a first for a classical music concert. In May 2011, the choir received the grant from the Liette-Turner Foundation in recognition of the quality of its performances.
The year 2016, the 30th anniversary of the Chœur classique de l'Outaouais, was filled with celebrations of all kinds. In fact, May 2016 provided us with an opportunity to increase the international visibility of works by Canadian composers, primarily those from our region, by travelling to Paris and Hamburg to present a series of concerts. Along with the Rockenhof choir of Hamburg, the CCO performed at Notre Dame Cathedral and the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, as well as in the Saint Michael church and the Saint James church in Hamburg. In its solo concert at La Madeleine church in Paris, the choir was privileged to perform new works by composers in our region – Tony Dunn, Léon Colibri and Frédéric Lacroix – that had been part of our spring concert program in April 2016. In Volksdorf, bringing an end to its European tour, the Chœur classique de l'Outaouais, together with the Rockenhof choir of Hamburg, performed a new polychoral work entitled Enchantements du monde by Quebec composer François-Hugues Leclair. And finally, to top off its 30th anniversary year, the Chœur classique de l'Outaouais and MAtv coproduced a documentary that illustrates the passion and commitment of the singers in the CCO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYu3vRuHTGU&t=94
In 2017, the choir was delighted to be one of 20 choirs who won a competition organized by Radio-Canada and recorded one of the tracks on the CD Chœurs d'ici, chansons d'ici. We performed Luc Plamondon's Hymne à la beauté du monde. The Chœur classique de l'Outaouais would like to thank its partners that have accompanied and supported the choir over its history.

Have you ever asked yourself why you aren't able to do something? Do you think it's because you're not strong enough? Or, skilled enough? Or, disciplined enough? The list goes on and we all create reasons why we aren't able to do something — squat 250 pounds, do a pull up, meditate for 20 minutes every day, kick the coffee…the list goes on.
But, what if we changed our way of thinking.
What if we truly figure out why we aren't able to do "X" and put a plan in place that goes from beginning to action to goal?
Things aren't happening because we're not starting at the right place…the beginning.
Kate and the Pull Up
My client Kate wants to do a pull up. She believed that she wasn't strong enough in her shoulders to complete the reps. But, what about Kate's hands? To pull yourself up from a dead hang, you have to be able to dead hang. When we tested her grip strength she was able to hold herself on the bar for 20 seconds. So, we're starting there. Kate will work her way up to being able to dead hang for 2 minutes before we start working on her pulling strength. And, even then, we'll work more on her slow eccentric lowering from the top of a pull up before she goes for the full movement.
There's a progression for everything. Take a moment to look at what you're trying to do before you do it and really figure out where the beginning is. Things can get a little tricky here because most of us want to analyze a situation to death and that's not what I'm saying. I don't want you to have paralysis by analysis, just figure out your starting point and go do that.
Treating the symptom
Not starting where you are is similar to treating the symptom of a health issue. We take acetaminophen or ibuprofen to treat a headache when the only thing the pills do is to mask the headache. The headache is still there, you're just numb to it. What would it be like if you treated WHY you have the headache to make the pain go away?
Starting in the middle is similar. You miss building the foundation and without that there's nothing to build upon.
I've seen this in my life when it comes to my shoulder. Several doctors told me to stop lifting, and when I did, my shoulder pain went away. But, that didn't solve the problem, it just made it go away, only to come back again when I tried to lift again. It wasn't until a physical therapist showed me how to solve the problem and why I was having pain that I was able to lift pain free again.
Had I never gone back to the beginning and taken small steps to strengthen my shoulder and then bigger steps to progress previously painful moves I wouldn't be where I am today – able to lift heavy weights.
Getting There
It wasn't until I failed a couple of times at healing my shoulder before I realized that I needed to change my approach. "Go back to basics" is exactly the saying we need to be listening to. But, how do we know what the basics are?
Find the easiest and most approachable part of what you're working towards. In the case of the pull up it's hanging from the bar; in the case of my shoulder injury it's turning to a professional and having her telling me it's a stability problem. Sometimes we need to go outside of ourselves for help and other times we can figure it out on our own. The point is – we need to find the first step and that might be to determine whether you are able to help yourself.
Once you have that first step, do it. Master it and move on.
I can't stress how important it is to start at the beginning, your beginning. There's no success in skipping steps, so figure out where you need to be, for you, and start there.

The Mediterrasian Lifestyle
Most Americans today are looking for healthier ways to live. Lifestyle options are many and sometimes confusing. Here's a simple way to address these issues.The Mediterrasian Lifestyle! Let's look at two cultures that seem diverse, but are very similar in their lifestyle philosophies. This might seem crazy, but Asian and Mediterranean people live life in a similar fashion. Simple mindful lives, healthy food with a moderate amount of exercise. Combining these ways of living and eating can lead to looking and feeling better. The Mediterrasian lifestyle is a East meets West fusion that will benefit anyone wanting to change for the better. There's a certain sensibility about life in these cultures. The pace of life in America is frenetic, productivity obsessed, stress inducing and unhealthy. I'm suggesting we take a step back and examine the advantages of reordering our priorities to mirror our European and Asian neighbors. We need to start a health revolution in the U.S. With the increase of life threatening diseases ( diabetes, cancer, heart disease, obesity etc.), it's time to take a fresh look at our present lifestyles and make healthy changes.
Our consumption of over processed, high fat, carbohydrate saturated fast food is killing not only our bodies but our culture as well. We've lost our respect for food and quality of life. That's where these two cultures can teach us to return to a more humanistic way of living. If we can find time for reality TV and computer games, we can also make time for proper food and exercise. It's time to rediscover family meals, a time to socialize and enjoy our food.
Food is only half of the equation. The other half is exercise, getting a daily dose of some physical exertion. I'm not suggesting a full blown workout (if that's your thing...good for you), just a simple walk after lunch or dinner.
Food Pyramids
Fresh Pasta
Examine the two food pyramids above. They're practically identical, only the ingredients of the cultures vary. Both are very vegetable-centric, low fat, limited protein and simple alternatives to healthier living. Every thing in moderation. The Mediterrasian diet allows you to eat from all the food groups, the difference is the emphasis on the amount of vegetable and grains in proportion to meat that they consume. Health experts agree that eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables is essential for good health. Both cultures advocate daily moderate exercise in their lifestyle. This doesn't mean having to go to the gym to workout. Just a 10- 15 minute walk will work. We really need to get back to eating fresh meats, fruits and vegetables not the crap that comes out of the refrigerated section of your local supermarket. Cooking and eating at home is a way for a family to reclaim quality time together. It brings civility to a meal, instead of rushing through the to-go line at a fast food joint and scarfing it down in your car. I'll venture to guess that the time it takes to visit your favorite take out place, a fresh healthy meal can be prepared at home. Simple preparations like grilling, roasting, steaming, stir frying your main dish protein with a side salad or vegetable and some pasta or rice makes a tremendously healthy and satisfying meal. And you'll actually know what's in your food because you've prepared it yourself.
The main idea is to incorporate the Mediterrasian behaviors into your lifestyle... (Good News: including an occasional adult beverage, i.e. Wine, Beer, Sake is OK). It's well known that these cultures are known for their low rate of heart disease and cancer. And most notably, for their longevity. If your debating a change, I seriously suggest you take a close look at the Mediterrasian lifestyle. I truly believe there isn't an alternative unless you prefer being overweight, constantly stressed, and increasing the possibility of dying at too young an age.

Definitely the way the US needs to head - a healthier way of life. Enjoyed the Hub!
Voted up and useful, my diet is a mixture of Italian, Greek, with some rice dishes too and also traditional English based recipes the later have been altered to make them 'healthy versions' of the traditional. Cooking and eating the right foods is of a greater importance than many people realise.
If healthy eating is not taken into consideration then the effects can take their toll before the person has had the chance to make the necessary adjustments to their diet.
Exercise also helps to make you feel happier as well as healthier. A good article, I hope it helps to get the idea across of the importance of healthy diet and exercise in our lives.
Looks delicious and great info too, a balanced diet is always the way a head but healthy food is the best option along with some exercise, great hub. :)
I enjoyed the hub. Yes, if people would choose carefully what they eat it is possible to eliminate diseases associated with obesity.
Thank you for the suggestion of mixing them.
We live in Limousin, France where people know how to eat and enjoy a good glass of wine. The older locals seem to live to a ripe old age and stay active until the last!
I think the Mediterrasian diet is a healthier option. I wish that fresh Pasta dish in your photo was infront of me right now. I just need a glass of wine by the side of it. Thanks.

There's so much more you can do with muffins than simply adding blueberries or chocolate chips. Combining sweet and savory ingredients is an unexpected twist on the classic muffin, and deliver a whole new flavor sensation. You can also enjoy sweet and savory muffins in the morning as a tasty breakfast or as an afternoon snack that will give you the fuel to power through your day. There's so many delicious flavor combos out there, so don't waste another minute! Try making any of these five sweet and savory muffin recipes in your kitchen today.
1. Ham and Cheese Muffin
Salty ham and rich, melted cheese are a match made in heaven, and when you give these flavor stars a sweet muffin base, the results are downright delicious.
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/4 tablespoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg
- 2 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 7 ounces ham steak
- 8 ounce block cheddar cheese.
Heat the oven to 400 degrees and mist a muffin tin with cooking spray. In a large bowl add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and pepper and combine. Then, add the egg, oil and buttermilk to the dry mix. Using your Oster® 5 Speed Hand Mixer, stir together on low speed for just 1-2 minutes, being careful not to over-mix. Slice the ham and cheese block using your Oster® Oskar™ 2-in-1 Salad Prep & Food Processor. Then, add the ham and cheese to the batter and combine. Fill each muffin cup with the batter until it is about three quarters of the way full, then bake for 20-22 minutes. Remove from tin, let cool and enjoy.
2. Thyme and Bacon Muffin
Who knew the humble muffin could be so sophisticated? Fresh thyme elevates a simple muffin recipe, while bacon adds a smoky and savory touch of flavor. And add an extra plus, they'll fill your home with a delicious aroma as they cook!

Add the wet ingredients to the dry mix and stir together until just combined. Add in the thyme and bacon and stir together until fully incorporated. Then, mist a muffin tin with cooking spray and fill up each cup three quarters of the way full. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool and enjoy!

After misting a muffin tin with cooking spray, fill each cup three-quarters of the way full with batter. Cook for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool fully before enjoying.
5. Sweet Potato and Spinach Muffins
These creative muffins are made with a sweet potato batter for unique take on the classic muffin. The sweet potato contains tons of antioxidants, while the spinach adds a good-for-you boost of Vitamins A, C, E and K.
- 3 large sweet potatoes

MOTO HIGH RISK Merchant Account
Processing Rates
In an industry where
direct marketing is in vogue, the
dealers usually communicate with their
customers through e-mail, telephone, or
mail, often with the use of cold calling
methods, in order to elicit
"call-to-action" from a customer. The
"Mail Order and Telephone Order" (MOTO)
merchants work in an environment where
the card is absent. This is similar to
eCommerce where the merchants end up
paying higher amounts for processing
when compared to the merchants who
operate physical establishments. This is
because, in the MOTO operating
environment, there is high probability
of the occurrence of customer disputes
which results in chargebacks. There are
a few dissimilarities between the 2
card-not-present dealer types in the
manner in which the card payments are
accepted which results in different
capabilities for payment acceptance.
The processing of
payments in a MOTO merchant account are
done by using the terminal software
which is installed on the personal
computer with the help of virtual
terminals. Hence the web browser can be
used for the processing of transactions
on the web site of the service provider.
Following are a few
processing fees which a MOTO merchant
may be charged for:
Discount Rate – These
rates should be the same for
establishments which opt for direct
marketing as well as for the web-based
merchants. A reasonable discount rate is
around 2.19% or even lesser. One must
ensure that the provider of merchant
accounts should charge a lesser rate
with respect to debit cards. In this
case, a discount rate of 1.98% is
acceptable. The prospective processor
for payments should mention the pricing
model used by them in order to select
the best options.
Transaction Fee – Almost
all the providers of merchant accounts
charge a transaction fee. It is usually
close to $0.25.
Set up and Application
fees – A merchant must always remember
that an application fee or a set up fee
must never be paid.
Virtual Terminal Fee – A
Virtual Terminal is nothing but a
service which helps the MOTO business
merchants to enter the payment
information of their consumers via a web
– browser. This service directly enters
the consumer information into the bank
system of the merchant account. There
should be no charge taken setting
virtual terminals. A monthly charge
should also not be collected.
Statement Fee – All the
merchant accounts have a fee to be paid
at the end of every month. The statement
fee is one among the other entities
which is charged on monthly basis.
Support Fee – A merchant
account owner should resist from paying
the support fees.
The main processing fees
difference between direct merchants and
eCommerce is due to the payment with
regard to gateway-related charges.
Payment Gateways are not used by direct
merchants since their consumers do not
use the internet for placing orders.
Instead, virtual terminals are used and
the details are entered manually. The
payment acceptance resolution for direct
marketing provides a cheaper service for
the processing of payments when compared
to the eCommerce solution.

It all started with a very old bike given to me by my grandfather when I was only a few years old. It was big, hard to get on, it had no gears, and I would always fall behind when riding with my parents. Of course, it all became much easier as I grew.

The big news here in New York is Governor Spitzer being linked to a prostitution ring. That raised my eyebrows, because a few months ago the governor encouraged me to write about his anti-trafficking work in New York (which was indeed impressive). All this raises obvious questions: Should prostitution indeed be illegal? Is it worse to be caught paying for sex than simply having an affair?
My own sense is that prostitution is deeply enmeshed with coercion and various other illegal behavior, so it is very different from having an affair (which I don't think newspapers should worry about, unless there's some impact on official duties). I grant that there are some cases of financial transactions for sex that are indeed negotiated by fully consenting adults, and they don't bother me. But I think that at a practical level those transactions are difficult to disentangle from those in which coercion and drug dependency do play roles.
The Netherlands legalized prostitution, and the results seemed unimpressive: no decline in trafficking and only marginal improvements in public health at best. Meanwhile, Sweden took a different approach, decriminalizing prostitution for the women but making it an offense to pay for sexual services. In short: Sweden arrests the customers and leaves the women alone.
At a purely practical level, this seems to have been quite effective in reducing trafficking and coerced prostitution in Sweden. Skeptics say it has just driven the prostitution underground, but Swedes themselves say in opinion polls that the experiment has succeeded. I suggest that American states should experiment with the Swedish model and see if it works better than the existing model in reducing the social problems and coercion that tend to coexist with prostitution in this country and abroad.
