Deco Diamonds
Transport yourself back to the seductive eras of Art Deco – the lavish designs, the beautiful people, the world totally different from the world today. This slot game is classic, simple, pretty to look at and easy-to-play, which is sometimes all you want (and need) from an online casino game.
Quick Links: Online Casino | Casino Games | Starburst | Gonzos Quest | Immortal Romance | Reel Rush | Twin Spin | Blood Suckers
About the developer
This game was co-designed – Just for the Win and Microgaming combined their tech and gaming know-how to produce this five-reel, nine payline slot. We know a lot about Microgaming, they've been around since 1994 and they're a big player in the online casino world, but what about Just for the Win? They're a new Swedish game developer (they released their first game in 2017) but quickly joined up with tech goliath Microgaming. Look out for more of their slots soon, for now, try out Goldwyn's Fairies and Lucky Links to try out their clean-cut, entertaining style.
About the game
As mentioned, this is a five-reel, nine payline slot game and it's pretty straight forward. The symbols are classic and old-school, but the graphics certainly aren't – giving this game a very stylish finish. You've got watermelons, cherries, bells, lemons, diamonds, 7s and peaches – all with a glitzy diamond twist. The highest paying symbol is the diamond, of course, with a 1000 coin win if you match 5.
Wild Symbol – the diamond is the big payer, but it's also the wild, meaning it substitutes for any other symbol on the reel to make a winning combo. Plus, if you land between 2-4 of these in one spin you'll also trigger the respin feature, where you'll get one free respin. Land another diamond in that spin and you'll get another free spin, and this continues until you no longer land a diamond.
Bonus Wheel – the wild also triggers the bonus wheel feature, which happens when you get between 3-5 diamond symbols in one spin. You'll get a respin, where the existing diamonds will remain sticky, until you no longer land any more diamonds. Then the Bonus Wheel round will begin. Depending on the amount of diamond symbols you initially landed, you will be entered into either Silver, Gold or Diamond level.
- 3 symbols = silver
- 4 symbols = gold
- 5 symbols = diamond
Each wheel has different cash prizes and multipliers on it – the higher the level, the higher the prizes. But you can level up in the lower levels to reach the diamond level, where the top prize is a pretty sweet 1000x your stake bet!
A simple game with some pretty great payouts – especially in the Bonus Wheel round, Deco Diamonds is bringing it back to the classic days of the casino.
Game rules can be found within game.

More than 75% of CEOs, presidents, and chief operations officers believe CI is critical to accelerating growth.
Companies today face rapid changes in both technology and consumer behavior. Mobile apps are generating large streams of data from online behavior patterns, social media, user reviews, geolocation data, and mobile payments. Shopping is now fully integrated into daily life, and millennials have far different shopping habits than older consumers do. Consumer demands for information, "newness," and interactions with brands are increasing, as is the ability of brands and retailers to anticipate the needs of individual customers. As a result, sectors that once were predictable and stable—and could survive a more internal focus—have become more volatile and uncertain.
In this challenging environment, companies must rewire their customer insight (CI) capabilities and teams—and they know it. In a 2016 survey conducted by BCG's Center for Customer Insight (an update to the 2009 benchmark), respondents cited CI and business development as the top two capabilities they needed to foster.
Many companies struggle to make CI more than just a market-research operation. Those that succeed in elevating CI to a strategic position and source of competitive advantage do so only with the commitment of top executives.
CI functions at companies can move through four stages of maturity:
In this stage, CI functions are mostly tactical and research-oriented. They are focused on uncovering historical trends for sales of existing products and services, largely in existing channels and geographies. The group works on a project basis to produce data in response to line managers' requests. It is limited in budget, head count, and scope of influence within the broader organization, and it receives limited support from senior executives.
At this stage, CI research has a real-time focus on short-term innovations such as packaging, form and flavor extensions, pricing, and promotions. The group aims to translate customer insights into business recommendations.
The CI function at this stage typically has active support from the most senior marketer in the company and access to senior leaders, but business leaders set priorities. Significant parts of the CI budget may exist outside the control of the function, and the group's representation on executive teams and exposure to the board are limited.
At this stage, senior executives believe customer insights should guide most commercial business decisions—where the CI function is both a strategic partner and trusted adviser. In addition to specialized research skills, CI team members demonstrate critical thinking, sound business judgment, economic and strategic understanding, and a willingness to challenge ideas.
An executive team member (not the chief marketer) champions strategic research, and the CI team works with line management to translate customer knowledge into key business decisions. Together, the CI team and line managers form an organization capable of anticipating customers' needs.
This stage remains elusive for many companies. At this level, the CI function is focused on new-to-the-world innovation, foresight, and predictive inquiry. CI is used in business decisions and core processes beyond market decisions, including research priorities, new-product development, strategic planning, M&A and portfolio strategy, employee engagement, and company branding.
The CI function at this advanced stage offers an independent perspective on high-priority topics and specializes in innovative, experimental methodologies. Functional leaders have executive roles, such as head of strategy, analytics, or marketing, and they often report directly to the CEO.
Executive teams can take three steps to begin the process of improving CI maturity:
Executive leadership must actively champion the consumer insight functions, particularly the anticipatory and forward-looking ones.
Companies whose CEOs and executives are not committed to a fundamentally different CI operating model should not undertake a CI transformation. For companies whose CEOs do support the transition, senior executives should be updated regularly on the progress with regular reports from a steering or strategy committee. They should create an activist project management structure that ensures functional transformation through transparency, a "single source of truth," a focus on results instead of the completion of activities, accountability, accelerated decision-making, and interventions when change initiatives are off track.
This short, 18-question survey evaluates the state of your organization's customer insights (CI) capabilities against a framework of six key CI dimensions.Explore the tool
Consumers leave a digital trail. To follow it, and act on it, business leaders and customer insight leaders must close the gap between their groups.Read the report
Many companies look inward when they should be focused on their customers, meaning their major business decisions do not reflect customer needs. They must find better data sources and mine them effectively.Read the report
Though most companies understand the need for consumer insights prowess, most CI functions are not a source of competitive advantage. Learn why this is and how to change it.Read the report

text: Counting Down to GDPR- Moore Stephens KSC and BRCC together arranged seminar in Timisoara 11 December 2017 0 comments Share On 8th December, 2017, British Romanian Chamber of Commerce (BRCC) and Moore Stephens KSC arranged a seminar on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In less than six months, Europe's data protection rules will undergo their biggest changes in two decades. The main objective of the GDPR is to strengthen and harmonize data protection of individuals throughout the European Union. EU residents will receive enhanced privacy rights, and those holding their information will have to obey strict rules around transparency and accountability. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was adopted on 27 April 2016 and will apply from 28th May 2018. Once the GDPR takes effect, it will replace the Data Protection Directive from 1995. GDPR introduces new obligations for any organisation that handles data about EU citizens - whether that organisation is located in the EU or not. It introduces data breach notification into European law for the first time. And it places stricter responsibilities on organisations to prove they are adequately managing and protecting personal data. The possible fines for non-compliance can start from 2-4% of the global turnover up to EUR 20 million, depending on which of them is higher. Amongst the keynote speakers of the event were Mr. Mamas Koutsoyiannis – CEO, Moore Stephens KSC & Member of the BRCC Board; Emil Mateescu, Deputy GM of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Timisoara; Ms. Valentina Ion – IT Audit &IT Advisory Partner, Moore Stephens KSC & Managing Partner BIT Advisory; Mr. Vlad Tomosoiu – Managing Partner, Moore Stephens Tomosoiu; Aris Vrakas, Project Manager, Relational SA. Mr. Mamas Koutsoyiannis was moderating the event. While addressing the event, Mr. Mamas Koutsoyiannis said, "There are some truly revolutionary aspects of the GDPR-both from the perspective of the data user and the data provider or processor." "The GPDR will apply to the processing of personal data by controllers and processors in the EU, regardless of whether the processing takes place in the EU or not." The organizers also justified their wish to help companies to understand these regulations that will enter into force in a few months and how they need to plan to adopt this methodical and structured approach as becoming GDPR-compliant requires taking a methodical and structured approach.

I'm an entity with broad impact—nationally and internationally.
My numerical value is number seven and number ten is the
underlying support structure of my entity.
Nurturing and wholeness are the hallmarks of my existence.
And yes, there are times when my entity itself is under attack,
not to say 'out of control and lacking in common sense.'
We all experience the different influences of being 'under the weather.'
Why do you think I'm excluded from it?
I'm also part of this great design that works through change.
There is nothing in this world which will not change its form in some way.
In general, I'm an entity whose function is to nurture the
well-being of its society and to function as an
intermediary of co-operating and competing forces.
If you reduce and limit my interactions and responsibilities,
you actually cut yourself short of wholeness and wellness.

The idea of playing All-Ireland SFC and SHC finals in the depths of winter has captured the imagination of GAA supporters.
It became a reality today when the GAA finalised their plans for the remainder of the 2020 inter-county season, with the football final to take place on December 19, six days before Christmas. The hurling decider will be staged on December 13.
Here is how Twitter has reacted to the revised inter-county schedule, starting with this Christmas Cracker from former Leitrim footballer Emlyn Mulligan:
I can visualise it already...— Emlyn Mulligan (@emlynmulligan) June 26, 2020
Mayo fans, all dressed in Elf outfits blaring out Fairytale of New York as the final whistle blows. Aidan OShea is after winning Sam for Mayo after dinking the fifth peno down the middle as snowballs were being flung at him from the Dubs in the hill!
2020 has been a difficult year for everyone but it will be finished in style with the All Ireland finals just before Christmas. As Andy Williams once said; it's the most wonderful time of the year 🥳🥳.#GAA #Limerick— Michael Cooke (@MikeCooke92) June 26, 2020

The halcyon days of knockout 'ball are back. Buíochas le Dia! Let's never talk of the super eights again. #gaa #thechampionship— Conor Caldwell (@conorcbelfast) June 26, 2020
Spare a thought for the inter county #GAA mammies who might have to cope with The Big Christmas Shop *and* an All Ireland in the one week.— Caoimhe Hogan (@Caoimhe_NiOgain) June 26, 2020
At least it be finished in the year no one wanted the championship to run onto the following year #GAA— Gavin Cawley (@gavcawley) June 26, 2020
Wouldn't crib with many of the decisions outlined by the #GAA today but no provincial/All-Ireland club series is the big one. Only requires six weekends, should be run early next year. Means much more to players than National League, which will presumably take place at that time.— Pat Nolan (@pat_nolan) June 26, 2020

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of early gastric cancer (EGC) has developed in the early 1980s, such as strip biopsy method [1], endoscopic resection with local injection of hypersaline-epinephrine (ERHSE) method [2], endoscopic mucosal resection with a cap-fitted panendoscope (EMRC) method [3], endoscopic aspiration mucosectomy (EAM) method [4], and endoscopic mucosal resection with a ligating device (EMR-L) method [5]. These methods are classified into conventional EMR methods. These are simple and safe methods, but lesion size which can be resected in en bloc fashion is limited.

There are so many variations on mashed potatoes—but this combination of potatoes and basil is a marriage made in heaven. Creamy potatoes and the fresh peppery basil really complement each other, and the Parmesan doesn't hurt, either. Everyone asks for seconds!
- Yield
- Serves 4 to 5
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves, lightly packed
- 2 pounds large Yukon Gold or white boiling potatoes
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and fill a bowl with ice water. Add the basil leaves to the boiling water and cook for exactly 15 seconds. Remove the basil with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge the leaves into the ice water to set the bright green color. Drain and set aside.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them in quarters. Add the potatoes to the same pot of boiling water and return to a boil. Cook the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, until very tender. Drain well, return to the sauce- pan, and steam over low heat until any remaining water evaporates.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the half-and-half and Parmesan cheese until the cream simmers. Place the basil in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and purée. Add the hot cream mixture and process until smooth.
- With a handheld mixer with the beater attachment, beat the hot potatoes in the pot until they are broken up. Slowly add the hot basil cream, the salt, and pepper and beat until smooth. If the potatoes need to be reheated, cover and cook gently over low heat for a few minutes. Pour into a serving bowl, sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese, season to taste, and serve hot.

For The Chef In You
A Simply Yet Romantic Meal
By Tony Russell, Chef and Owner of Quench Restaurant
So Valentines has passed and you're probably thinking, what's next? How do I continue to express my feelings showing that I'm passionate and loving? Well, one good way is by surprising that special someone with a nice romantic meal. The meal that I'm about to share with you, is EASY TO PRPEARE, VERY TASTY and will INSPIRE you to always recreate moments like this, for that special someone; and lets not forget its COST EFFECTIVE.
So here we go: there are three major ingredient; First you will need Marinated Jerk Salmon; Second, Ravioli stuffed with Butternut Squash, yes if you never had Butternut Squash, this is a perfect way of introducing your taste buds; Third Roasted Vegetables, Catalina Blend or California Blend your Choice. All of these items can be purchased from your local market; Whole Food, Jewel or Dominic.
!. (2) 6 Ounce Marinated Jerk Salmon.... When looking for Salmon, pink is better. The redder the meat appears the fresher it is. I like to purchase my Salmon already marinated. Because Salmon is a thick fish, having it pre-marinated takes away a lot of time and preparation. Place Salmon in lightly sprayed baking pan; use a canola spray, also spray the top of salmon (will keep juicy and moist), put in the oven on 375 for 30 minutes (time depends on oven type, standard or convection).
2. Stuffed Ravioli (Butternut Squash)... You can purchase this either fresh or frozen. Your local market should have one or the other. Boil some water in a medium size pot add in a pinch of sea salt and 2 table spoons of oil; olive oil is best, however you can use vegetable or canola oil. Once the water comes to a rapid boil add your Ravioli; you will know when they are ready, they will start to float to the top of the pot (Ravioli should be prepared a least 5mins before fish is ready to come out of oven). If you're not a fan of Butternut Squash, you can sub for Ravioli stuffed w/cheese; but I recommend that you a least try it BE SPONTANEOUS.
3. Alfredo Sauce.... To save time you can purchase a jar of Alfredo Sauce, I recommend the one w/mushroom the flavor enhances the Ravioli; however, I also prepare mine from scratch; future lessons. Place in sauce pan simmer and allow the sauce to come to a boil. Remove sauce from heat.
4. Roasted Vegetables.... When roasting your vegetables you want to use Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Coat the skillet with oil; not too much, Olive Oil thins out when heated. When the pan is hot, add your vegetables. Sprinkle in a little garlic salt (note garlic salt has a high salt content so add to taste).
5. A bottle of your favorite White Wine... I suggest Pinot Grigio by Kendall Jackson, White Wine goes great with fish and white cream sauce.
6. Dessert... You're on your own....
A meal like this in the restaurant will run you about $20 to $30 a plate, plus tip. You have just created the same meal for under $20 a 50% savings and the best part is you are the tip. Fellows how can you go wrong....
As Always Good Eating....
Share your romantic meal stories, I would love to read them.

All Laptop Suggestions And Methods Out there
You will get the most out of studying a second programming language in case you decide one which makes use of a radically totally different paradigm than the one you began with. All of these things are coding of one variety or one other, but the last bit is what most programmers would readily establish as code. I've never actually thought about the titles of people that do software, though I've thought closely about what is software. Programming is breaking a solution down into steps so small and finite that even a computer can do them.
However, this language is used to design cross platform programs, Because it just like C++ in structure and syntax. Over the years these translation processes have become refined and a single assertion in a excessive-stage programming language can obtain lots, with instructions that seem like every single day English and easy mathematical operators. Object-oriented programming gave programmers a great way to name issues—a way of increase a library. I see software engineers as half of programmer, 1/three computer scientist and 1/6 plumber or electrician.
The intention this programming language is to consider the fault by separating it into a set of objects that supply providers which can be utilized to unravel a specific drawback. To convert the program designs developed by software developers or system architects into instructions that the pc may comply with. Machine language is a set of directions and data that a computer's central processing unit can execute instantly. Laptop Scientists are the individuals who, I feel, make programming languages and compilers. Another ongoing debate is the extent to which the programming language used in writing laptop applications affects the form that the ultimate program takes.
The Linux kernel is written in C. The software that connects your printer to your laptop may very well be in C. The Net servers that serve up your Net pages are sometimes written in C. It's also a good language for writing other languages—Python, PHP, and Perl are written in C, as are many others.…

Pork Shoulder with Carrots and Mashed Potatoes
Nothing could be more Midwest than this dish... and I am talking Iowa, the self proclaimed pork capital of the US. This dish can be done in crockpot or in a covered enamel cast iron cookware for the stove top. I prefer the stove top which on low works like a crockpot. You can walk away from it in the sense you don't have to stand by the stove to watch it for more than 90 min. But, I would not recommend leaving the house; though I have mowed the back yard while cooking this way. From time to time, I have used a crockpot in the past for this dish and it is just as delicious. I like to sear the meat in a hot black skillet though before putting it in the crockpot on low for 3 hours.
Today's preparation is for the stove top. To begin, on med heat saute one whole chopped onion in 3 tbs of olive oil and coconut oil. Add fresh dried herbs, stir until the onion begins to brown on the edges. Push aside the onion, turn up the heat and sear your pork shoulder on both sides. Reduce the heat to med and reintroduce the onion. To this, pour in 1/2 cup of beef stock or veggie stock. Add half a bag of baby organic or long garden carrots (washed/peeled), cover and let simmer for 90 min on low.
Just before the ninety are up, prepare yellow gold potatoes for boiling and mashing with fresh butter and cream. The kids will come to the table without calling. And, don't forget the homemade applesauce.

A Swiss French Kitchen... Chicken Breasts in Raclette Cream Sauce
Along the French Swiss border one can find a blending of culture through language and food; Swiss French is a variety of French spoken in the French-speaking area of Switzerland known as Romandy. As for food, especially cheese, one has to note the preference for cooking with Raclette. Though traditionally Swiss, this semi-hard cow's milk cheese most commonly used for melting is often used by both sides of the border.
The smell is pungent, the taste is strong and yet also buttery. It all sounds wildly European, but this cheese is great for cooking, melting and can be bought here too. This dish like many or any of the brainy gourmet's is frugal as well as delicious. I just so happen to make a raclette fondue the other night using a very good raclette bought just over the border in Wisconsin. Looking into my fridge, there was a small amount left of the raclette fondue. And, I had left over pasta as well. On the fresh side, I had crisp green asparagus and Bavarian mushrooms.
To begin, on med heat I sauteed chopped onion in olive oil and 1 tbs of fresh creamy butter sprinkled with dried herbs. I then pushed the onion aside in the skillet and on high heat seared strips of chicken breasts (skinless/boneless). I reintroduced the onion, reduced the heat and added the left over raclette along with 1 1/2 cup of heavy cream. To that... the left over pasta and another tbs of butter then covering to let simmer while I prepared the mushrooms and asparagus... washing and slicing/cutting off ends. A quick stir fry in butter until browning around the edges appeared and then poured in about 2 tbs of chicken stock, turning up the heat to high for 4 min.

French Cooking is About 'the' Sauce!
The most important aspect of being a good judge of sauce is learning to judge sauce in terms of color and consistency. If it appears to be burning because it is too hot, then you can expect it to be too sticky, so either add more cream or butter or stock. If it appears too liquid, take the lid off and turn up the heat, adding a pat of butter and stirring until it thickens.
Tonight's dinner is pork or veal medallions and smoked sausage in creamy mustard sauce with sun dried tomatoes and dried plums, served with sweet potatoes halved and green beans. This is really so delicious!
Begin by sauteing on med heat chopped onion in olive oil. Then push aside the onion once the edges are brown, add a drizzle more of olive oil and sear the medallions on both sides. Next, add as many 'chunk -bite' size cuts of smoked veal sausage as you like. To this, add 1/2 cup of sun dried tomatoes and the same of dried plums. Sprinkle in fresh dried herbs: rosemary, mint and oregano.
On med heat, stir and let these flavors blend before adding your heavy cream and Dijon mustard. After 2 min, spoon in 1 tbs of mustard or more (to taste) and 3/4 cup of heavy cream. Stir while turning up the heat, let this bubble for 3-4 min. Cover and let simmer for about 15 min on low heat.
Prepare sides.

Bourbon Street Spare Ribs with Carmelized Cherry Tomatoes and Onions!
For this dish, you will need to buy a package of boneless pork spareribs, 1-1/2 inch thick. A package of cherry tomatoes, and some bourbon or not... you can of course make this dish without it. Marinate the pork for at least one hour in a shallow dish covered with 1/4 cup of bourbon along with sea salt, garlic powder and black pepper as well as dried herb seasonings: mint, rosemary and oregano or basil.
In a heavy black iron skillet, sear your marinated pork in 4 tbs of olive oil and coconut oil. Then add some organic honey and fresh grated ginger along with a generous squeeze of lime. Cook on high for 3 min and then reduce heat to low and simmer for 6-8 min, depending on thickness of pork. Remove from heat and move the pork aside or to a serving plate and cover to retain heat. In that same black iron skillet saute onion and cherry tomatoes in a buttery olive oil combination letting them sizzle together with an extra dash of bourbon. As they near caramelizing, prepare another side... potatoes or couscous.

In Italian cuisine, alla cacciatora refers to a dish prepared "hunter-style" and the brainy gourmet style is with onions, tomatoes, dried plums and herbs: rosemary, mint, sage and oregano.
All you need for this delicious dish is a large skillet with lid, chicken thighs with bone in and skin on, one whole onion, one can of diced red tomatoes, dried plums and dried herbs. This dish can be done on the stove or in the oven; using a glass baking dish or a covered skillet. If you decide for the oven, follow a similar procedure for cooking in the skillet, turn the oven to 400f. Roast uncovered.
Begin by sauteing chopped onion on med heat in olive oil, about 4 tbs and be generous. Next, move the onion off to one side of the skillet and add your chicken thighs skin side down; brown on high heat. Bring back the onion and sprinkle as much of the dried herbs as you want over the top of the chicken.
Reduce heat adding, bringing back the onion into the mix of things and pour in 1/4 cup of chicken stock and one can of diced red tomatoes. Let this simmer for 40 min on med/low heat, stirring occasionally.
For a side, prepare a wild rice risotto rice or pasta ... even mashed potatoes.

Risotto like Grandma's!
Once the rice is tender having absorbed most of the stock, drop in a pat of butter and pour in one small can of diced tomatoes or dice up fresh if you prefer. Lastly, add to that Parmesan cheese. Let this set on the stove covered for 6-8 min on low/warm.

Spice up the night with Stir Fry!
Imagine anywhere you want to be with this dish...which is incredibly delicious and incredibly inexpensive.
You will need a boneless pork loin, fresh green zucchini, jarred roasted red peppers, jarred sun dried tomatoes, and orange /ginger wok sauce. Start by boiling salted water for the linguine pasta. Slice your pork loin in medallion size chunks. Take your covered skillet and drizzle in 3 tbs of olive oil, to that add fresh dried herbs: rosemary, mint and oregano along with garlic powder, red pepper flakes and just a pinch of salt.
Brown your pork on med heat (6- 8 min); once glistening and nearly cooked through remove from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, toss in julienne sliced fresh washed green zucchini and one whole roasted red pepper and a few sun dried tomatoes (2-3). Turn up the heat to high and sear your veggies. To that add 1/2 cup of ginger orange sauce, return the pork to the same skillet with veggies and simmer for 15-18 min on low heat.
In the meantime, you should be checking your pasta. Once it is tender, drain and ladle onto a low lipped serving plate. Pour out your pork medallions and zucchini with peppers. Squeeze some fresh lemon or lime juice and serve. A bottle of soy sauce on the table is a good idea.

Good Ole Home Cookin ~ Chicken and Dumplings!
What's with the pic? It is what it is... simple! You don't need a fancy kitchen for good ole home cooking; i.e. chicken and dumplings. You just need a skillet and hot stove!
Start with thawed skin on, bone in chicken thighs. On high heat, sear the skin side down in olive oil and fresh dried herbs along with a splash of garlic powder, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Turn the thighs over and let the underside brown a bit too. Then cover for 4 min on med heat. Next, add 1/2 cup of chicken stock, cover again and let simmer for 24-30 min on low heat. The best side vegetable for this dish are fresh tender green beans, steamed or boiled until tender.
As for the dumpling mixture: 2 cups of flour, 1/2 tsp of baking soda and 1 tsp baking powder, a pinch of salt, 1/2 cup of cold milk, 1/4 cup of cold buttermilk, add one egg and beat. If you think it is either too creamy or too stiff, add more flour or add a tbs or two vinegar diluted with cold water.
It should look like this -
To this add a sprinkle of dried herbs. Remove the chicken from the skillet, leaving all liquid. Turn up the heat until the liquid like gravy becomes a rolling boil and then drop in your dumpling mixture (a serving spoonful at a time). As they puff and cook, they will absorb the liquid which is good but if they start to stick to the skillet, add a dollop of butter and drop or two of cold water. When they have fluffed up nicely, put the chicken thighs back, cover with the heat off.
Prepare the table!
Fall is a time of harvest ~ What to do with Squash?
All of the above are considered winter squash because they can last throughout the winter if stored properly in a root or cold storage cellar. All of them can be baked or microwaved whole, spooned out (removing seeds) and mixed with honey, brown sugar and butter or ...just use butter and sprinkle of fresh dried herbs.
If you have been intrigued by a yellow oblong squash called Spaghetti Squash and wonder why it has that name its because the inside resembles strands of spaghetti pasta when cooked. This squash has a very bland taste whereas the other 'winter' squashes have a sweeter and nuttier taste.
Hence, for that reason, if you decide to try a spaghetti squash recipe, keep in mind the very plain/bland watery taste and texture. The best way to cook this spaghetti sqaush is baked with plenty of spice, olive oil, garlic and cheese.You can get as creative as you like with this squash because ... its a blank slate so to speak. Enjoy!

Pork Medallions with Sun Dried Tomatoes, Mushrooms and Dried Plums!
You can sear, saute, grill and even broil meat or veggies and get good taste; but for a really incredible taste that will wow'em... you need a good sauce that will knock their socks off. Is it difficult to do? No, not at all. The best basic sauce is always a combination of rich meat juices, butter and cream.
For something a bit more upscale, get creative. For this dish, you begin by searing and then sauteing, the meat or veggie of choice (if a vegetarian) and in this case - pork loin cut as medallions, in olive oil and coconut oil, 3 tbs each in a large skillet on high and then switch to med. heat. Next, add chopped onion, mushrooms, dried herbs and you can include dried fruits such as dried plums and or also including sun dried tomatoes. Stir and reduce heat to low and simmer for 25 min. Then at the end, add 1 tbs of butter, the same of Dijon mustard and 1/2 cup of heavy cream, stirring on low heat for another 4 min. Finally, turn off the heat, cover and let rest while you prepare a side of potatoes or barley groats.

Brainy Good Advice!
Most home cooks are good home cooks and that is because they love cooking and have basic know how. But if you don't love cooking because you think you lack basic know how and still have to cook at home there is a simple solution. Don't make it hard on yourself. Most people don't like to cook at home because they think that means special ingredients and/or expensive ingredients, recipes to follow as well as not having the time, effort and money to be a good home cook.
The Brainy Gourmet offers this brainy advice... 1st make it simple and that means keep a basic pantry and learn what you can do with that much making it taste good. Its almost a no brainier when you think about it. Check the side bar for the basic pantry list. You will see items like cheese, potatoes, heavy cream and eggs. Combine these and you will have a wonderful casserole.
Cook a whole chicken and make three to four different kinds of soup throughout the week. You can even use the stock for a wide variety of other meals which need a sauce, a broth or liquid to keep veggies from burning and remaining firm enough to grab all the flavor in a stir fry.
So, get cooking and enjoy home cooked food!

Brainy Jambalaya or Turkey Gumbo... Really?
Jambalaya is actually a no brainer to make at home... rice, spices, one onion, several cubes of Italian sausage (squeezed out from the casing or bought in bulk) and cooked frozen shrimp 'thawed'. Turkey Gumbo to that or instead of is also uncomplicated...ground turkey, onions, one can of diced tomatoes and frozen okra or use zucchini.
This is a jambalaya kids will eat since the heavy duty hotness comes from the bottle you put on the table when you serve. Both can be served with a side of rice. To begin, on med heat. saute one chopped onion in 3 tbs of olive oil and the same of coconut oil. Add to that your cubed or 'ball shaped' chunks of Italian sausage and continue to saute, browning the sausage on all sides. Next, add 1/4 cup of chicken stock and your favorite spices. I highly recommend a shake of garlic powder, red pepper flakes and chili powder, also dried herbs as much as you like: rosemary, mint and oregano.
Have your shrimp thawed and rinsed and ready to toss in during the last few minutes. Cook the rice as you normally wood in salted boiling water. Drain and ladle onto a low lipped serving plate. Top with jambalaya and serve! Put out the Tabasco for the daring.
If you opted for Gumbo, then saute ground turkey shaped as meatballs in coconut oil and olive oil... same amounts as for the jambalaya. Add 1 cup of chicken stock, chopped onion, diced tomatoes and okra. The better spice here is rosemary and mint. Let this simmer on low for 30-40 min. Serve on top of rice.

Brainy Hainan Chicken
Hainan is a large tropic like island off China's southern coast having ten major cities. Hainan cuisine is said to be lite with mild seasonings. Chicken is free ranged, cooked in a variety of ways as it is much enjoyed and served with rice. Though, you can serve with rice noodles or linguine pasta if you have.
The key to this dish involves immersing one whole chicken in almost boiling hot water until soft and tender, all pieces then peeled off laid in lemon juice, crushed garlic, ginger and salt as part of creating the sauce. Note, using a whole chicken would also give you a stock. However, to be quicker about it, not using a whole chicken, you can use skinless, boneless chicken thighs. Each piece is brushed with lemon juice, crushed garlic, ginger, and salt.
To begin, on med. heat saute one whole chopped onion in coconut oil. Next, add your chicken thighs, browning on both sides. Add to that, chopped sweet red pepper and diced pineapple. Simmer on low heat for 35 min. Prepare your noodles.

*For a little more zing... put out a halved lemon, some soy sauce or teriyaki sauce.

A Northern Hemisphere Holocene Paleoatmospheric Record of Ethane and Acetylene from the GISP2 Ice Core
Project details
Biomass burning has a major impact on atmospheric composition and climate due to emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols. The past history of fire emissions is not well documented, and as a result, the relationship between fire and climate on long time scales is not well understood. This project will investigate the atmospheric histories of ethane and acetylene, trace gases emitted to the atmosphere from biomass and biofuel burning. Measurements of these trace gases in the air bubbles entrapped in Greenland ice cores will document past variations in the atmospheric levels of these trace gases over a wide range of climatic conditions and environmental change. The data will provide new insight into the variability in fire on millennial time scales and quantify the contribution of fire to past atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases. This knowledge will contribute to the development of land surface and earth system models capable of simulating fire in future climate scenarios. This project will support the dissertation research of a PhD student in the UC Irvine Department of Earth System Science and outreach activities in K-12 classrooms through the non-profit CLEAN Education initiative founded and operated by graduate students at UC Irvine. Ethane and acetylene measurements in firn air and shallow ice cores demonstrate that the entrapped air in polar ice contains a paleoatmospheric record of these trace gases. In this study, the investigators will analyze ethane and acetylene in ice core samples from the GISP2 ice core (Summit, Greenland), spanning the last glacial maximum, glacial/interglacial transition, and Holocene periods. Trace gas emissions will be inferred from the atmospheric histories using a 3-D global photochemical/transport model and biogeochemical box models. This study will provide a northern hemispheric counterpart to an Antarctic ice core record under development. Together, the Greenland and Antarctic records will provide estimates of: 1) past global biomass burning emissions of these trace gases, 2) partitioning of fire emissions between tropical and boreal sources, and 3) the magnitude and variability of pyrogenic methane emissions.

Airbnb has said it will stop renting out homes in Jewish settlements of the West Bank, a move that drew sharp rebukes from Israeli officials on Monday.
The San Francisco-based company said it would remove about 200 home and room rentals in the disputed region. Airbnb said that although US law allows for it to continue operating there, it made the controversial decision after consulting with outside policy experts.
"Many in the global community have stated that companies should not do business here because they believe companies should not profit on lands where people have been displaced,"Airbnb wrote in a blog post. "We know that people will disagree with the decision and we appreciate their perspective."
Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan said homeowners affected by Airbnb's ban should consider suing the company.
Erdan said he planned to discuss Airbnb's decision with "senior American officials" to see if the move violated US anti-Israel boycott laws. Tourism Minister Yariv Levin called the move a "surrender to a boycott" and said he would seek to have an additional tax imposed on Airbnb's activities in Israel.
Nick Papas, a spokesperson for Airbnb, declined to comment on the officials' statements. Papas said the Israeli settlement listings would be removed from Airbnb's website in the coming days.
For years, critics have accused Airbnb of benefiting from rentals in Jewish outposts at the centre of conflict in the region.
Palestinian leaders have long sought statehood and fought for the removal of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
