I enjoy scouring the web for old press photos from the 1930s FBI. Despite J. Edgar Hoover's insistence that his special agents not speak with reporters, E.J. Connelley frequently found himself on the front pages of newspapers across the country. He worked some of the Bureau's most famous cases, so admittedly he had a hard time staying out of the spotlight.
This week I found a picture of Connelley during the Alice Parsons kidnapping case in 1937. He's pictured crouched over a map, beside two other men (one the chief of police) in Stony Brook, New York. A gaggle of reporters stand behind them, one with notepad and pencil at the ready to jot down anything the men might say about developments in the case. The photographer must have caught them off guard, probably saying something to get their attention, given the annoyed looks on Connelley and Chief Ridges faces.
The Parsons case was one the strangest Connelley investigated in the 1930s. It was not the typical kidnapping that the FBI investigated – no gang members or hoodlums snatching someone just for quick cash. It resembled something more out of Sherlock Holmes canon and ended with all pretense of a kidnapping dropped for suspicion of a calculated murder.
The alleged facts were this: the 38 year old Alice Parsons lived on Long Island with her oil millionaire husband William Parsons.They lived in a sprawling estate called Long Meadow Farm with their house keeper, a Russian immigrant named Anna Kuprinova. On the morning of June 10th, a middle-aged couple arrived and asked Alice to show them a family estate for sale at Huntington. She left in their car around 11:45am. The housekeeper was the last person to see her alive – and importantly, the only one to provide this story of her departure (more on Kuprianova in a minute). When her husband returned home that evening, Alice still not had come back from her trip. The police were notified and an investigation started of a possible kidnapping.
Early the next morning, police discovered a note in the back of Alice's car reading:
"Will Parsons: I have your wife for $25,000 ransom. I calculate that you could get that money in 24 hours. I have no place to keep her longer. Meet bus terminal Jamaica 9 p. m. Bring money in box. My man will call you by name and you go with him. He will take you to your wife, but mind, any cop aboard you'll pay and she will never speak again." (New York Daily News, June 11, 1937)
By 7:30am, the FBI was given authorization to take control of the case under the Lindbergh law. Bloodhounds were called on to search the Parsons' 11-acre estate, to no avail. By 6:15pm Thursday June 11, William Parsons said he would not keep a scheduled rendezvous with the kidnappers set to occur at 9pm due to the publicity surrounding her disappearance. This should have stood out as an alarming clue.
By 1937, Connelley had investigated a number of the nation's highest profile kidnapping cases. The ransom note always gave away more information than the kidnapper intended and this was no different. The language reeked of an educated person trying, at times, to sound uneducated. Only a wealthy man would write "my man will meet you," someone accustomed to having hired help do menial tasks. And only a loved one would write "she will never speak again" – why not outright say she will be dead? Because they could not bring themselves to think or write those words? And the salutation "Will" implied a familiarity with Parsons. A handwriting expert from the Bureau reviewed the handwritten ransom note and stated it contained "foreign characteristics, possibly Russian" but did not elaborate on what those characteristics were. When they took a sample of Anna Kuprianova's handwriting, however, it did not match the ransom note.
One June 13th the Cincinnati Enquirer led with the Associated Press headline "Connelley's On Job!"
The will-o-wisp of the G-Men Inspector Earl J. Connelley of Cincinnati waited tonight for the word that will send him on he hunt he likes best – the trail of a fugitive kidnaper.
Connelley probably bristled at being called a will-o-wisp. The AP went on to describe him as "A fast traveler, a silent tireless worker… mustachioed well-attired federal agent…" Another newspaper said that Connelley disappointed in his appearance, "very mild and rather small – not nearly as much like a G-Man." In the clipped newspaper article that Connelley kept in his records, he highlighted this passage and wrote in the margin "Ha!"
He arrived and continue the search of the property for clues, which were in short supply. The estate was searched by hundreds of people. The land was heavily thicketed with "poison ivy, vicious briars, and a hot sun" (New York Herald Tribune, June 18, 1937). Nothing turned up. Why had the ransom note been placed in Alice's car if the kidnapper knew she was not going to use the car? Why was there no evidence a middle-aged couple wanted to see the estate for sale? Questions piled up like cards in a deck.
Inconsistencies sprung up in Kuprianova's account. Road workers three-quarters of a mile from the Parsons house said they saw her in a car with another woman around 10 am on the day of the alleged kidnapping. The postmaster of Stony Brook said she saw Mrs. Parsons in a car with another woman around 1pm.
A bottle of chloroform was reported to have gone missing from the Parsons home. This unvalidated fact begs the question – why did they keep such a chemical in their home? Also, it was revealed that Alice Parsons had rewritten her will in the last 30 days, leaving money to her husband, Anna Kuprianova and her 5- year old son.
Attention of course turned to the housekeeper, Anna Kuprianova. Due to an illness Alice Parsons had suffered in 1931, the family had hired Kuprianova to assist with household duties. The Russian immigrant came recommended by Alice's sister. Rumor was she was an attractive younger woman which of course fueled wild speculation. Being the last person to see Alice and recently being written into her will gave her motive. But there was no evidence of wrongdoing, including finding Alice Parsons alive or dead.
Connelley showed his typical tight-lipped demeanor with reporters. In one article titled "G-Man Like Clam on L.I. Kidnaping" he almost toyed with the reporters, something he took a pleasure in doing. Here are some excerpts of the Q&A the newspaper published:
Q: Have you made contact with the kidnaper?
A: No comment.
Q: Do you still think it is a kidnaping?
A: I haven't said what it is.
Q: Do you intend to question Mrs. Kupryanova again?"
A: You're presuming that we did question her and I won't comment.
Q: Is it true that a diary was found in the Parson's home that has thrown some light n the crime?
A: No comment.
Q: (By a persistent newspaper man) But, Inspector, we know that a diary was found, can't you tell us whose it was?"
A: You will first have to establish to my satisfaction that a diary was found. Then I shall probably refuse to answer because I am not permitted to discuss anything that may be in evidence."
The article ended with: "Mr. Connelley bowed politely and said that he would be happy to grant the press another interview later in the day."
Almost a year later, political pressure rose on the Suffolk County District Attorney and he in turn started to play politics. He told reporters how he met with Connelley, pounded his table with a clenched fist, and said "If there was a murder committed in my county I'm entitled to all the records in the case." In Connelley's records, he underlined in red some of the more dramatic newspaper passages (this was usually his way of disputing something). Heading off a political battle, Connelley held a five hour meeting with the District Attorney. After the meeting, Connelley told reporters,"There is no reason to believe that a Federal statute has been violated in this case. The FBI is not taking any further action at this time because of a curtailment of our budget and personnel, but we are willing to cooperate with the Suffolk authorities to the fullest extent."
The Parsons case is still unsolved to this day and has inspired some belated crime-fighting crowdsourcing on Reddit and other threads (though the same speculation was happening in 1937 and later). Kuprianva seems to be the clear suspect, whether or not in collusion with William Parsons, but Connelley's team wasn't able to find enough evidence to support prosecuting a case against either of them. If she was innocent, she didn't do enough to clear her name in the days following the alleged kidnapping. In the court of public opinion, it seemed clear, but Connelley was frustrated in ever getting a resolution to the case.
While Alice Parsons body was never found and she was legally pronounced dead in 1946, William Parsons and Anna Kuprianova married in 1940. The case could fill an entire book and may someday. I'd love to take a look at the FBI's internal case file and see what was happening behind the scenes with Connelley and his team on this one.

Germany could save around €570 billion (£460.2 billion) by 2050 if it sticks to its plans of replacing nuclear with renewable sources.
That's according to researchers at the Renewable Energy Research Association, whose claim follows the nation's plan to shut all its nuclear reactors within the next decade in the wake of Japan's Fukushima disaster last year.
Investments in renewable energy in Germany in 2011 amounted to around €23 billion (£18.6 billion) which created 380,000 jobs. The researchers said: "The investments made now, at the beginning, will pay off within a foreseeable time frame and have a positive economic impact."
Earlier this year Germany's national infrastructure bank said it would provide €100billion (£78.6 billion) for renewables and energy efficient projects in the next five years.
The country gets about a quarter of its power from renewable energy totalling 70GW, which includes around 30GW from wind, 5.5GW from biomass and 4.4GW from hydroelectric plants. Germany aims to generate 35% of its power from renewable sources by 2020 and 80% by 2050.

8.572281 - WEINBERG, M.: Cello Music (Complete), Vol. 2 - Cello Solo Sonatas Nos. 2-4 (Feigelson)
Mieczysław Weinberg (1919–1996): Complete Music for Solo Cello • 2
Following the 1996 première of the 24 Cello Preludes Op. 100 and my recording of it along with the Sonata for Solo Cello No. 1, Op. 72, I contacted the widow of Weinberg (as the composer had died earlier that year) about the three other solo sonatas that remained unpublished. To my delight the music was promptly found and thanks to the help of my Moscow relatives everything was copied and sent to me. It took about a year for me to learn the sonatas from the composer's manuscripts and to make another recording. In 1999 I performed this entire repertoire at St Stephen's Church in Manhattan, effectively giving world premières of Sonata No. 3 and Sonata No. 4.
Weinberg wrote the Sonata for Solo Cello No. 2, Op. 86, in 1965 as a fortieth birthday gift to another favoured cellist and friend, a legendary member of the Borodin Quartet, Valentin Berlinsky, who gave it a first performance in Moscow in 1966. It is as highly charged, but larger and more substantial than the first sonata. The first movement, Moderato sostenuto opens with a very distinctive, dotted-rhythm theme which, as well as the movement as a whole, could be characterized as a "mourning chant" with a bell-like quality. As with many other works, it clearly reflects the composer's life-long ideé fixe: the immense human suffering experienced during the Second World War. The same boldness is evident in the second movement, Allegretto, here given a stomping dance mode. The Adagio that follows reveals another end of the expressive spectrum: introverted, personal and soft-spoken, soaring to a captivating, quiet mid-section. It "reawakens" rudely to a dramatic reality invoking intonations from the first movement and throwing itself right into finale, Presto. The last movement has great gusto and an intensity rarely felt in other music. A "hit" octave element repeats itself again and again, starting over and over, followed by a "running" motive common to the finale from the First Sonata. Again, Weinberg mixes elements of Jewish and Russian folk-tunes and rhythms, well spiced by dissonance. After reaching an emotional climax, the music suddenly loses all of its drive, taking off into the softest harmonics, like a departing spirit, and the work ends with the distant dotted-rhythm theme of the beginning. It is worth mentioning that the second sonata was largely re-written by Weinberg in 1977 into a new work within Op. 121. This recording features the original version.
Looking at the manuscript of the Sonata for Solo Cello No. 3, Op. 106 (1971), it is evident that something was initially written and then erased above the title. Keeping in mind the history of this period and the widening gap between Weinberg and Mstislav Rostropovich, one might easily assume that it was related to an original dedication. What a sad similarity with the 24 Preludes composed just a few years earlier in 1968!
The Second and Third Sonatas are very close in size and construction, but dissimilar in their character; the latter is far more lyrical. Weinberg wrote it in Serebryannij Bor, a small village just outside Moscow which is also a popular recreation spot with tall-pine forests along the Moscow River, usually a very tranquil place in early May. Just so, quietly and comfortably, the sonata's opening "rolling" lines in Allegro are soon followed by a soft-sounding "murmur march". This idyll is replaced later by "questioning" intonations and a resulting emotional rise. Next, the Allegretto is a charming scherzo full of humor and the grotesque, at some moments reminiscent of Mahler or Prokofiev. The following Lento is very broad and lyrical with the "soft comfort" of the sonata's initial lines. A few passing "clouds" do not change its overall peaceful and introverted quality. Finally the Presto starts quietly with fast, abruptly-repeated passages, something reminiscent of Schumann. There is a truly haunting quality within this restrained sound (the entire movement is played with a mute) and fast motion starts and stops many times, changing into a patriotic song-like tune, running again and again. This "running" becomes more consistent, bit-by-bit, gaining continuity and power, and finishes the entire work with a forceful emotional outburst.
Written by Weinberg in January of 1985, the Sonata for Solo Cello No. 4, Op. 140, was another gift to Valentin Berlinsky, this time on the occasion of the cellist's sixtieth birthday. Originally the sonata had only two movements. The first, an Andante, largely atonal and almost ten minutes long, involves a Hindemith-like declamatory line with an extremely demanding, greatly contrasting mid-section; this is a truly remarkable example of Weinberg's dodecaphonic and aleatoric writing. The sonata was promptly revised on request from the dedicatee into a three movement work. The "hard" part of the Andante was omitted altogether and a charming, hommage à Prokofiev, tonally-wandering Allegretto was added before the remaining finale. The Allegro molto has something absurd and sinister in its continuous mechanical motion. It rolls forward with no signs of real life until only the last several lines that bring an emotional, human element back to end in a strong and positive coda.
To my own and, I assume, many cellists' delight, all four sonatas for solo cello of Mieczyslaw Weinberg were finally published in 2005 by Hamburg-based Peer Music. Much thanks should be expressed to them for this contribution.

Show people with this Christmas long sleeve t-shirt that little Christmas kittens and cats say Meowy Christmas. I mean what did you expect them to say? Meowy Christmas seems pretty obvious for a cat to say. Dogs say Ruffy Christmas which makes sense too! This Christmas long sleeve t-shirt shows people that cats like Christmas too, so Meowy Christmas to all and to all a meow night.
There really isn't much that is cuter than this long sleeve t-shirt. All of our long sleeve t-shirts are meant to spread some good old holiday cheer to everyone this Christmas. Whether you're a dog person or a cat person everyone is sure to love it. We want all of our Christian long sleeve t-shirts to spread some fun and joy this Christmas season.

PHP is a general purpose programming language–but it acts a little differently than most (Ruby, Java, etc.) when used as a plugin to your web server. A Ruby on Rails app starts up and loads a bunch of things into memory and continues to run, but an Apache+PHP application is constantly dumping your PHP code and re-starting everything for every web request. Thus, while you can have a lengthy startup time in Rails and it's totally cool, you must optimize your PHP code to do as little as possible all the time to keep it fast. This means keeping careful track of how your code loads up all of its dependencies–and not all PHP web frameworks do this elegantly.
Here at RealSelf, we do continuous integration and rapid deployment, and we iterate on things quickly. Sometimes code that starts out as an experiment turns into a key component of our infrastructure–even if its architecture wasn't initially optimized for performance! So when we chose Slim to iterate quickly on a new API service, we got something up really quickly, and then slowly watched it grow in importance and response times. Recently, this situation became untenable as server response times grew to >300ms per request. We are getting between 1-3000 requests per minute for this particular service and end-users were starting to see the effects. Luckily, there was a simple solution to get around Slim's deficiencies.
We discovered that each single route that we registered added a significant overhead to each request. As an experiment, we doubled the number of routes registered, and saw that we roughly doubled the response time of the server. Ouch! This service has a rather large API, so the number of registrations is significant here. Since this is a PHP app served by Apache, we quickly realized that we really don't need 99% of these routes registered on a given request: Apache already knows which route was requested when it starts executing the PHP code, and PHP exposes this information in the
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] bucket. So, we really only need to register ONE route with the Slim framework. Nice.
We parsed out the
REQUEST_URI and made a little registration routine that selects only the specific section of code concerned with registering that route, and the results were dramatic:
We shaved ~250 milliseconds off of our request time, bringing most requests under the ~100ms line. Notably, PHP is _still_ taking about 85% of the total request time, so clearly there are more optimizations to do. We should be able to get our response below 50ms. Really, all PHP needs to do is load some extremely targeted business logic (usually not even any logic, just a database query) and then turn that into a JSON payload to hand back to Apache. If we're doing anything else, it'd better be for a really good reason!
It's worth noting, however, that in other languages this wouldn't be an issue at all. A Java web server would load all of this overhead up on app startup and code would be loaded, unloaded, and garbage-collected whenever the JVM sees the need. PHP is a very different beast, and needs to be treated very differently.

Academic Outreach Endowment Grants
The Academic Outreach Endowment (AOE) was made possible by the generosity of a Middlebury alumna from the 1970s. This endowment, inspired by the very meaningful experience of the alumna's thesis project, is used to provide support to students and faculty who wish to pursue community-connected opportunities and integrate "real world" issues with academic course work.
AOE grants are administered by Community Engagement and provide financial support to both faculty and students for pursuits that involve community-connected teaching, learning, and research. Examples of these kinds of approaches include project-based learning (when there is a direct community connection), community-based learning, participatory action research, and more.
Grants are awarded a maximum of $4,000, and typically range between $1,000-$3,000. Recipients may have the opportunity to give public presentations detailing their projects.
Application Timeline
- Grants for 2016-2017 are now being accepted.
- The application deadline for summer 2016 and 2016-17 projects is April 3, 2016.
- Applicants will be notified of the committee decision by mid-April.
- All undergraduate faculty and all returning undergraduate students in good standing are eligible to apply. Applications are encouraged from all disciplines.
- Graduating seniors are not eligible to apply.
- Applications from both individuals and teams will be considered. Teams may include Middlebury College faculty, staff, and/or student(s), community partner(s), and other participants.
- The Academic Outreach Endowment does NOT fund projects that are only either community service initiatives or unpaid internships.
Grants are awarded competitively, based upon the following criteria:
- The project must be academically rigorous.
- The project must be directly linked to academic course work (it cannot be simply volunteer service or an internship experience).
- The topic being addressed should be dentified with community partner participation and reflect effective reciprocity, accordingly.
- The structured process of analysis and reflection should be of high quality and built into the project plan.
- Representation across academic divisions is desired, overall.
- Community Engagement encourages applications from faculty and students who are new to this methodology, as well as from those who are more experienced.
- AOE grants can fund local, national, and international projects.
- Funding does not typically cover equipment that is readily available through the College (e.g., digital cameras).
Funding Period
Funding for approved proposals is available from June 1, 2016 - May 31, 2017. Please plan accordingly. If you have special needs or concerns or would like further information, please contact Tiffany Sargent by email or phone at 802.443.5082.

Welcome to Highgate Holistic Clinic
Complementary Health Centre
At Highgate Holistic Clinic, we are a team of complementary medicine practitioners who are passionate about what we do. We believe that sometimes modern medicine doesn't offer a comprehensive enough approach to our health issues and too often only treats symptoms instead of root causes.
As human beings, we are more than our symptoms, our mind and body are intrinsically connected, and most of the time when we suffer from a specific issue, whether physical or emotional, there's more to it than we think. It could involve our lifestyle, our stress levels, our emotional well-being etc. So in order to heal from physical and mental discomfort, or simply in order to improve our well-being we need to look at ourselves as a whole – not as different unrelated parts.
This is why at Highgate Holistic Clinic we offer a wide range of natural therapies practiced by highly qualified and experienced practitioners whose dedication and passion contributes to a holistic approach in healing. We all work together as a team to offer the best treatments to our clients. Each of us believe in the importance of finding the right approach and we don't hesitate to refer you to one of our colleagues if we feel you would benefit more from their personal techniques.
The purpose of Highgate Holistic Clinic is to offer a one stop shop for health and well-being, where you'll find everything you're looking for. All our practitioners are fully insured and have been carefully selected to offer the best quality of services and a warm, welcoming and trustworthy environment.

UN urges inquiry into alleged war crimes in Sudan's Southern Kordofan state
UN News
15 August 2011
(…) The United Nations today called for a thorough investigation into violations of international law committed in Sudan's Southern Kordofan state in June which it said could, if substantiated, amount to crimes against humanity or war crimes.
A preliminary report, produced jointly by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the former UN Mission in Sudan (UNMIS), describes a wide range of alleged violations of international law in the town of Kadugli, as well as in the surrounding Nuba mountains, after fighting broke out in Kadugli on 5 June between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Sudan People's Liberation Army North (SPLA-N).
Reported violations included "extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests and illegal detention, enforced disappearances, attacks against civilians, looting of civilian homes and destruction of property," as well as massive displacement, according to a news release issued by OHCHR. (…)
The report, which covers the period from 5 to 30 June, also describes aerial bombardments on civilian areas in Kadugli and elsewhere in Southern Kordofan, which, it says, have resulted in "significant loss of life." (…)
It also describes widespread looting by elements of the Popular Defence Force (a militia allied with the SAF), alleged attacks on churches, the burning of houses in Nuba villages, interference with medical and humanitarian assistance and allegations of the existence of several mass graves in Kadugli itself and in a number of villages in the region. (…)
Most, but not all, of the violations and allegations detailed in the report are attributed to the SAF, the Central Reserve Police or their militia allies. (…)
Ms. Pillay expressed concern about continuing violence in the six weeks since the end of the period covered by the report, and noted some of its key recommendations concerning access.
"It is vital that unhindered access is granted to human rights monitors to conduct investigations into allegations of continuing violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, and to humanitarian actors trying to bring relief to the affected populations whose access has also been severely restricted by both sides," she said.
"We need the access to be able to go in and look at the situation, to investigate certainly. But also longer-term presence for the promotion and protection of human rights of the community," said Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights Kyung-wha Kang, who travelled through Sudan during a week-long visit in June.

Destination Dynamic Message Signs (DDMS)
— What are Destination Dynamic Message Signs?
Destination Dynamic Message Signs look like regular green highway guide signs and can display dynamically changing travel times in minutes in the small black LED panel inserts.
Currently, there are not many of these signs in Ohio. Two have been installed on I-75 between Dayton and Cincinnati and one east of Columbus on I-70 westbound. Current DDMS messages are viewable on
and are displayed with custom icons for DDMS. Although the messages appear to be entirely electronic like full size DMS, the static information is really on the green extrusheet sign while the dynamic travel time minutes change via the electronic LED panels (shown below)
Like the travel times on normal DMS, motorists can use these signs to get an idea of approximately how long it will take them to get to certain destinations based on the current conditions.
For the sign example above, the number of minutes is the same as the number of miles to get to SR-63 as well as I-275, therefore indicating that the current traffic traveling on this road is moving at approximately 60 MPH or about free-flow conditions. If the number of minutes was equal to the number of miles to get to SR-63, but considerably higher than the number of miles to get to I-275, this would indicate there may be congestion somewhere between SR-63 and I-275 and motorists should expect delays or consider using an alternate route.
I-75 SB at Montgomery/Warren County Line I-75 NB at Kyle Station Rd I-70 WB at CR-42/Watkins Rd
— What if there is a road incident?
Contrary to DMS, DDMS can only display travel time information - no information regarding traffic conditions or road incidents can be conveyed by DDMS.
By default, DDMS are in operation 24/7
In the case that the road is closed ahead, operators will replace the number of minutes with a flashing "CLD" message, in which case numerical travel times would be irrelevant.
The flashing "CLD" message trys to get motorists attention to inform that the road is closed ahead.
If the road is closed before the 1st travel time destination on the sign, the flashing "CLD" message will be placed on both panels. If the road is closed between the two travel time destinations on the sign, the flashing "CLD" message will be placed on only the 2nd panel, indicating that the travel time to the first destination is still applicable but motorists will be unable to reach the second destination until the road is reopened by incident responders (example shown below).
— What if no minutes are displayed on the DDMS?
In the event that nothing is displayed in electronic section of the sign to give travel times, motorists should not think that the road is closed.
This indicates that there is a problem with being able to send the travel time minutes to the sign (could be a power outage or other type of problem).
ODOT knows about these problems and will get the sign working again as soon as possible.

Gillian Wise
GILLIAN WISE British, born 1936
Gillian Wise is one of the leading contributors to the British Constructivist Group.
Gillian Wise studied at Wimbledon School of Art in 1954-57. Her introduction to Constructivism came through the writings of the American 'Concretionist' artist Charles Biederman, with whom she corresponded and who put her in touch with Anthony Hill and the Constructivist Group in England. Consequently, she met Victor Pasmore and Kenneth and Mary Martin during the period 1958-59.
It was an important meeting, as a result of which she began exhibiting with the group, showing her work in 1960 in the Construction England exhibition at the Drian Galleries in London. Wise's first exhibition with Anthony Hill was at the ICA in 1963, followed by a series of group Constructivist exhibitions including 'Constructivisme' at the Galerie Dautzenberg, Paris, France and 'Collage and Construction' at the Aldeburgh Festival (both in 1962), and the 8th Tokyo Biennale (British Constructivist Group, Japan, in 1965.
Gillian Wise won a British Council postgraduate scholarship in 1969-70, and it was following this that she joined the Systems Group, exhibiting her work in the 1972 Systems exhibition at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London.

How to make your menu attractive and interesting?
Wondering how to use digital menus in every sense and attract more guests?
Digital menus offer you a multitude of options, but it's up to you how much time and effort are you willing to invest in it. We offer you some interesting tips that will make your offer more attractive to your guests and open their appetite. The very idea of introducing digital menu in your restaurant shows that you care about the satisfaction of your guests, and the richer the information you display to your guests are, the more they'll appreciate the time you have put to present them your offer and make the selection easier.
Here are a few tips on how to make the most of digital menu options.
Photo content
We will start with photographs, which are actually the first thing your guests will pay attention to while reviewing your menus. It is not said in vain that pictures speak louder than words. Beautiful and representative photos of each dish make it more desirable. How often guests ask themselves how food looks and about the way that it's served? With the help of digital menu boards and, of course, a good photographer, you have the opportunity to present your dishes in the best possible light. Add more photos and, if possible, insert a video content related to the preparation of certain dishes or with its presentation. To make your photos look better on the tablet, it is recommended that the ratio of photos is 16: 9 and a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels and that a little space around the dish is left since the app automatically cuts the photo. Here are some examples:
First (wrong) example:
And how it should look:
Description of dishes
Next thing that is important to your guests when choosing a food is a description of the food, ingredients it contains or the way it is served. That way your guests will get a better insight into your offer, and will help choose a dish that suits their taste. It often happens that guests, because of a wrong selection of dishes, 'classify' some restaurant as 'bad' or 'unsatisfactory', believing that it did not satisfy their expectations. But with descriptions and photos of dishes, guests become more familiar with the whole range of restaurants, choosing a dish that fits their desires, know in advance what it contains, and reviewing this information, open them and appetite. It increases the desire to try dishes from your offer and will most likely return again to the restaurant to satisfy his curiosity. It is recommended that you enter as much details and interesting descriptions as possible, the story of the origin of the food or some specifics of its preparation. Intrigue your guests and awake their curiosity.
Many restaurants offer translations in various global and minority languages due to the large influx of tourists, in order to avoid possible misunderstandings and long explanation, and with the aim to attract foreign visitors. No translations of the entire menu in several foreign languages greatly increases the number of pages of the same, thus it becomes unwieldy. The advantage of digital menu boards is that they do not change their size. Changes can only see in a particular language. Needless to say, it is better to have as many languages in which displays your offer, but with digital menus it becomes much simpler and clearer. Its clients are always advised to start with the Croatian and English language this time slowly and include translations into other languages, depending on the need that arises.
Events and special offers
Digital menus are fully focused on the best possible advertisement of your restaurant. Not only to its offer, but also on its history, specifics and events that are taking place in it and the organization of the restaurant. Menus offer an a story of the restaurant as an intro. They also provide information of events. In this way, you can inform your guests about the activities that are taking place in your restaurant and about some future events, which can attract more guests. Entering notice of an event or promoting your new dishes to your menu looks very interesting and informative, and does not require a lot of work. Just enter the required information and insert a representative picture in the back-end application.
Stay tuned for more tips!

Holiday Donations by Publix Customers Totals Over $100,000 | Business
Title (Max 100 Characters)
The Salvation Army of NE Florida has been awarded a check for a whopping $100,169 from Publix Supermarkets for its hunger-serving programs. The donation will be presented to The Salvation Army by Dwaine Stevens, Media and Community Relations Manager for Publix, Jacksonville Division, at a luncheon at Metropolitan Park on Thursday, April 21. The funds were donated at the holidays by Publix customers in an ongoing drive to support charities fighting hunger in the community.
Major Dean Hinson, Area Commander for The Salvation Army in Northeast Florida, is very pleased to have Publix shoppers as partners in the continuing battle against hunger. "This generous donation will help us to provide groceries for thousands of struggling families right here on the First Coast," Hinson stated. "Publix shoppers are generously standing in the gap for those who run out of food before the next paycheck comes."
With the help of community partners like Publix Super markets, The Salvation Army in Northeast Florida distributed over 26,000 supplemental grocery orders to those in need and provided nearly 340,000 hot, nutritious meals for the homeless in 2010.

Water vapor and oxygen-barrier performance of corn-zein coated polypropylene films
MetadataShow full item record
A novel corn-zein coating structure on polypropylene (PP) films was developed to examine its feasibility as an alternative water vapor and oxygen-barrier for flexible packaging industry. The barrier properties of the resulting films were evaluated as affected by coating formulation (solvent, corn-zein, plasticizer concentration and plasticizer type). Corn-zein with different amounts (5% and 15%) was dissolved in 70% and 95% aqueous ethanol solution at 50 °C, respectively. Solutions of corn-zein plasticized by polyethylene glycol (PEG) and glycerol (GLY) with various levels (20% and 50%) were applied on corona-discharged-treated PP by using solvent-casting method. The significant improvements in water vapor and oxygen-barrier properties of uncoated PP films were obtained with corn-zein coating. Water vapor permeability (WVP) of the coated films decreased significantly with increasing corn-zein concentration. The application of plasticized corn-zein coating on PP films showed nearly more than three order of reduction in oxygen permeability (OP). The high water vapor and oxygen-barriers were obtained for films coated with coating formulation consisting of higher amounts of corn-zein plasticized by GLY. The statistical analysis defined the key parameters of coating formulation that had major effect on the final properties of coated PP films as corn-zein, plasticizer concentration, and plasticizer type. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Astigmatism is an eye condition wherein the individual's cornea is shaped like an egg or a rugby ball, instead of a normal sphere. This type of irregularity can also be seen on the intraocular lens which is inside the eye. For people suffering from astigmatism, the rays of light that enter the eye do not focus at a single spot. Two focal lines are formed at the back of the eye created by the spot of light and these lines are perpendicular to each other and at different planes.
This will cause blurry sight because objects do not appear clear at any specific distance, as compared to hyperopia (long sightedness) or myopia (short sightedness). Astigmatism results to blurry and out of focus objects no matter the distance.
People often report experiencing eyestrain, headaches, and lack of concentration brought about by this condition. Reading becomes difficult as the eyes are easily tired. To correct this, people resort to eyeglasses or contact lenses and the degree of the condition would determine how often they needed to be worn. Eyeglasses or contact lenses can be worn constantly or on an as-needed basis only.
Another way to treat astigmatism is laser eye treatment. A more permanent solution to astigmatism, laser eye treatment would involve pre-operation procedures to screen potential applicants as not everyone can undergo this kind of eye surgery. Corneal topography is done prior to the operation and this is done to map the contours and curvatures of the eye. The topography is used to create the geography of the eye and map the necessary changes specific to the surgery.
Lasik and PRK are two of the most common of laser eye treatment performed to correct astigmatism. For lasik, the process involves creating a flap on the topmost bed of the cornea, which is located on the front of the eye. The underlying bed is vaporized with a laser for more accuracy and precision. The created flap is then returned to the front of the eye so healing will not require stitiches.
As for PRK, the process is quite similar to Lasik, except no flap is formed. Instead, the top layer of the eye is completely removed before the laser corrects the underlying cornea. Recovery usually takes longer than Lasik though results on visual acuity post-surgery are comparable to Lasik.
It is important to note that not all cases of astigmatism can be treated with laser eye treatment. One such exception is "irregular astigmatism", wherein the eye's cornea does not have a natural smooth surface. This condition can be caused by an injury that led to scarring. There are also eye diseases that cannot be corrected with laser eye treatment, one such example of which is keratoconus.
"Regular astigmatism" can be corrected with laser eye treatment as this is a more general form of astigmatism that can be treated with repeated eye surgeries. As with all types of eye surgery, prescription should be stable for the last 12 months before considering laser eye treatment as a viable solution.

Beef brisket and a backyard smoker is about as "Texas" as you can get because in Texas, barbecue is about beef… In particular, brisket, the cut by which any beef joint is judged. Brisket is also a favorite of restaurant chefs, accompanied by blue� smoke ribbons and country music atmosphere exuding out of restaurants across the world's major cities.
Great brisket can be made at home, providing you have the time and patience to work through the requisite 12 smoky hours. Brisket – a cow's lower chest – is rich in connective tissue which requires a low-and-slow process to relax the muscle into tenderness. something that cannot be achieved by faster techniques.
- 1 10�12-pound whole beef brisket, fat trimmed to 1/4-inch thickness
- 1/3 cup kosher salt
- 1/3 cup freshly ground black pepper
- A charcoal grill and a drip tray
- A chimney starter
- 2 20-pound bags hardwood charcoal (you may have some left)
- 8�12 2�3-inch untreated kiln-dried hardwood chunks, preferably hickory or oak
- A grill or analog thermometer (we recommend it even if your grill has one)
Order the brisket:
You may have to special-order your brisket ahead of time at almost any butcher shop or at a grocery store meat counter. Ask for a brisket that is as evenly thick as possible, with the surrounding fat trimmed to 1/4″ thick (this protects the meat from drying out while cooking).
Season the meat:
An hour before preparing the grill, place brisket on a rimmed baking sheet. Mix salt and pepper in a small bowl and season the meat all over (it should look like sand stuck to wet skin but without being cakey). Let meat sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
Prepare your grill:
Meanwhile, soak 6 cups wood chips in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Leave in water throughout the cooking process. Keep remaining 2 cups chips dry. Light only 1 grill burner to medium (if using a 3-burner grill, light burner on either end). Make sure drip tray is empty, as a lot of fat will render. Place smoker box over the lit burner, add 1/2 cup soaked wood chips to box, and close grill.
Adjust heat as needed to keep temperature at 225-250�F. Use a stand-alone thermometer, even if your grill has one, to ensure an accurate reading. Stick it through the gap between the lid and base of the grill (or set it on the grill's upper shelf, though this is not ideal, as it requires opening the lid more frequently).
The wood chips should begin to smolder and release a steady stream of smoke. How long this takes depends on how wet your chips are and the heat of your grill. To get more smoke without increasing grill heat, add a few dry chips to the soaked ones.
Maintain the heat:
Place brisket, fatty side up, on grill grate as far away from lit burner as possible. Cover grill and smoke meat, resisting the urge to open grill often, as this will cause the temperature to fluctuate.
Adjust heat as needed to keep temperature steady at 225-250�F. Check wood chips every 45 minutes or so, and add soaked chips by 1/2-cupfuls as needed to keep smoke level constant.
Know when it's done:
Keep smoking the brisket, rotating every 3 hours and flipping as needed if top or bottom is coloring faster than the other, until meat is very tender but not falling apart and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of meat registers 195-205�F, 10-12 hours total.* *
Need a Hint?
- Smoke brisket on grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of meat registers 150-170�F, 5-6 hours.
- Wrap brisket in foil, place on a baking sheet, and cook in a 250�F oven until meat reaches the same 195-205�F internal temperature, 4-6 hours longer.
- What's important is getting that smoky flavor into the meat, and 5-6 hours on the grill should do it.
- After that point, you're simply getting the meat cooked through.
Prepare Ahead:
- Brisket is best shortly off the grill, but you can still get good results smoking it up to 3 days ahead.
- Let cool for an hour before wrapping in foil and chiling.
- To serve, reheat meat, still wrapped, in a 325�F oven until warmed through.
- 6�Dig in Transfer brisket to a carving board and let rest at least 30 minutes.
- Slice brisket against the grain 1/4″ thick.

Therefore, they mobilized their fleets looking for those places where joining some interesting scales and a perfect weather made the unique cruise experience. Little by little is coming to corners more exotic and away from the planet and is very interesting for a cruise addict know and meet in parts of the world are moving the ships and dates change from one area to another to exploit those repositioning trips that offer cruise travel to some pretty amazing prices. Cruise seasons could be classified in the following areas: Alaska high and optimum season to explore Alaska routes are between June and August. The temperatures are quite pleasant and to retire the ice it is possible to gain access to many areas of wild nature, as the great glaciers. The off-season would be located only in the months of May and September. Bermuda high season is It would be between the months of June and August. On these dates the temperatures are almost tropical, and the temperature of the water is high, perfect for water activities or excursions to the beach.
The off-season would be between the months of April and may and between September October. Canada New England although it seems a contradiction in terms, in Canada the high season would between the months of September and October, coinciding with the change of color of the trees, a spectacle in itself same well deserves a cruise. I especially recommend those who depart from New York and it makes the route to Quebec. The off-season would be between the months of July and August. Caribbean Caribbean is the place where most cruise ships are concentrated by nautical mile. Having a good weather almost all year round (excluding storms station) high season coincides with times of holidays of the United States (large consumers of cruises in the Caribbean).

I actually started to write this post a few months back, when I first decided to take the plunge and have my hair cut off and dyed blonde. But last week, I went to have another inch cut off and it reminded me that I had this post saved in my drafts, and although I wouldn't class myself as a beauty blogger at all, I thought I'd share my hair journey with you because I'm so happy for the first time in almost 19 years, I'm so so happy with my hair.
Let's start with my old and unpredictable hair. I naturally have very curly brown hair, with my hair care routine consisting of mainly water swapping in various apparently 'frizz' control products, which in all honestly, didn't seem to do a lot. The thing is with natural hair it is so unpredictable, curly hair is me and makes me feel like me, but some days it would look so good but the next it would be a frizzy gross mess that I'd attempt to tame with water. It was also long, and although I didn't like my hair very much at all, curly long hair was like my safety blanket, I felt like I needed it down because my face and makeup was never that good. The sections were always uncontrollable meaning at around 15 years old the half up, half down was adopted, and stuck around for a long while. I then decided at age 16 my mousy brown was boring and I HAD to dye my hair because everyone had started doing it, so one packet dye later, I had dark red/ brown hair that I know was not good as soon as it dried.
In my second year of sixth form, when everyone started to turn 18, I decided I was fed up of looking young and blamed my hair so decided that the solution to making me look older was getting highlights. Big mistake. My mum, a hairdresser, had always cut my hair, so this was my first proper trip to the hairdressers. It was streaky and gross, with parts of my hair even white against my natural medium brown hair. To top it all off I was still doing the half up half down, 12 year old look at the time, the hairdresser had given me 2 large white strips when right at the front. I went back and they kind of corrected it, but after many tears and a lot of money later, I gave up.
Before I decided to get the chop, I did have a stint of trying to tackle frizz with a curly wand but there was still too much hair, with a few people telling me by this point that my hair made me look 15 instead of 18!
I, of course, made a Pinterest board of hair inspo, and decided I wanted a lob with balayage pretty quickly with my main hair inspiration being Sarah Hyland who had quite a young face like me. So, I booked myself an appointment at KG Styling, a local salon to me, as my lovey stylist Stacey had done my prom hair for me which actually made me love my long hair as well as the colour. To be honest, I don't think I can praise Stacey enough, 4 hours later my hair was exactly how I wanted and restored my faith in hairdressers and it was everything I had imagined.
I'm thinking I may even go slightly shorter? But for now I'm in love with my bobbed hair, which I never thought I'd be saying again above 12 years old!

David McGowan CEO McGowan's Funeral Home.
David McGowan comes from Easkey, Co. Sligo.
From an early age he helped out in the family business in Easkey, run by his father, Martin John McGowan. The business was established over sixty years ago.
When David finished school, he decided to pursue a career in the funeral business. He saw a need to improve the way deceased persons were prepared for funerals. He also felt that more could be done to help the bereaved to cope with the trauma of a death.
This quest has led him on a lifelong path of learning and sharing of knowledge with others, always keeping the best interest of the deceased and bereaved dear to his heart.
David continued his education, studied and qualified in Ireland, England and the United States of America, before extending the family business by opening a custom built funeral home in Ballina, Co. Mayo in 1990.
At that time, he was one of a very small number of funeral directors, outside of the main cities, who was working as a full time funeral director / embalmer. It was equally unusual at that time to find custom built funeral homes to serve the needs of the bereaved.
David also worked closely with colleague and friend Tony Foley, who was also a funeral director in Sligo. This friendship, forged over the years, eventually led to a partnership which would culminate in David taking over the business in 2009, with Tony continuing to work in the business. Sadly, however, Tony passed away in 2010 following a short illness.
David continues to keep the funeral ethos of Tony Foley's business alive in Sligo, while bringing his own talents, skills and knowledge to the funeral home.
David is a member of many Irish and international organisations associated with the funeral service. He has given presentations at home and abroad on topics relating to funeral direction and embalming. He has represented Ireland on many occasions in his many roles including National Chairperson of the BIE 1994/1995, National representative to the EAE. David is held in high esteem among colleagues, and among the bereaved he has served both at home and abroad. He is the executive director of the Irish College of Funeral Directing and Embalming, which offers courses and training for funeral directors in embalming. His staff undergo continuous training in order to ensure a high quality 24 hour service.
He will always strive to put the deceased and the bereaved first, while providing a range of professional services.
David's kind and considerate nature enables him to support families and friends of the deceased with discretion and respect.
