FARM TO SCHOOL…We need YOU!!
Denise O'Dea, Superintendent
The USDA Farm to School initiatives utilize local agricultural products from a community – fruit, vegetables, milk, etc. - and incorporate them into Child Nutrition Programs in the school. USD 108 Washington County Schools is interested in starting our own program right here to help support our students in the lunch and breakfast programs by taking advantage of locally raised beef and pork to serve delicious meals to our students. Kansas has many leaders advocating for fresh, local food in their school districts and communities.
There are successful programs in Kansas where local farmers donate a cow or pig to the local school district. The school district pays to have the animal processed and then the meat derived from the animal is served at breakfast and lunch. This will enhance our menus by providing locally grown beef and pork at cheaper rates that we can currently buy, but the meat is also home-grown. We will be better able to provide meals with beef and pork products as a feature item rather than more processed foods. It really is a win-win for all – the students get a quality meat product that was grown in their own backyards and our local farmers get recognized for their generous donation!
If you are interested in participating in this program, I would LOVE to visit with you. Come on, be the FIRST local farmer who steps forward to get this program off the ground.
I can be reached at 785.325.2261 x 3 or stop by my office at 101 W College. I want to talk to you!

Alex Harmon takes in another night of al fresco dining before we're all locked away for winter...
It's the original small bar in town, and unlike its inner-city counterparts, this one isn't hidden away. Mrs Sippy spills out into Bay Street for ample opportunity of being seen. Très Double Bay.
Aptly, we commence with cocktails; mine combining watermelon, mint, vodka, pinot noir and my favourite fairytale – the Red Riding Hood ($18) is big and bad (in the best possible way).
The menu is made up of entrées, mains and share plates, although I'd recommend sharing everything - especially the Chicken Liver Parfait ($18)...
...a kind of fluffy pâté that goes superbly with apricot chutney and crisp sourdough.
Seared Scallops ($21) could be harder to share because they're so good, bouncy and fresh with spiced cauliflower and almonds.
Marinated Tuna ($24) is pretty but a little flavourless – lashings of horseradish and beetroot help.
It's guilt-free, but if you're feeling bad, the Wagyu Beef Pizza ($25) hits the mark with a buttery garlic sauce and red cabbage for crunch and colour.
And to really indulge, go the Dark Chocolate Pot ($16) with peanut brittle ice-cream and honeycomb. I tried sharing this but didn't get much of a look-in. I couldn't help but say to my date: "My, my what a big mouth you have."

Luck-One - More
- Artist: Hanif. (Luck-One)
- Track: More
- Producer: T Mak
- Album: True Theory Outtakes
If Portland, Oregon has heard an emcee representative put in work on the Booth I can't think of them, so even if newcomer Luck-One, making his Booth debut today with his new single More, isn't literally the first rapper to appear on our pages, upper west coast music is so rare I won't hesitate to call him a trailblazer. Blazer? Get it? Never mind. Let's get into the music. Impressively, Luck manages to walk that often tenuous line between conscious music and party music, a balance producer T Mak strikes nicely by giving More a funky underpinning layered by hard-laced drums. But it's Luck's mic skills that truly make this one a standout as he touches on everything from slavery's legacy to the ceaseless hip-hop grind with spitfire flows that include an equal mixture of anger and love for life. Hungry for more? You're in luck. (God I'm ill with the puns today.) Luck-One's True Theory Outakes EP drops October 4 right here on DJBooth, followed by the release of his full LP, True Theory, coming soon.

018 – 12 Tips to Stay Mindful When Using Your Phone or Other Devices
Apple Podcasts ~ Spotify ~ MP3
We're living in the digital device era. The speed at which digital device usage has spread is phenomenal. Many of us are spending hours each day using digital devices – usually looking at screens.
When you use digital devices consciously, you'll be at peace with them, and enjoy the benefits they have to offer. You'll also use them skilfully, with kindness, interacting harmoniously with the world.
Here are a few pointers I'd like to offer you. If you take these on boards you can turn your hours of digital device usage into an opportunity for mindfulness practice…
- Only access content and enable notifications that are really needed. When you're accessing content that you really need, you'll be better placed to stay mindful. If you access content that you don't need, it's highly likely that you'll get lost in thoughts emotions. Consciously decide what content you are going to access on your device. Also, take responsibility for notifications. Only configure notifications and real time updates if you feel they are really needed. Otherwise, let go of the distractions, and choose when to access things. The more notifications you react to, the less you will be in control of your state of mind when you access their content.
- Avoid content that you know triggers negative reactions. If there is certain content that you know is going to push your buttons, triggering you to become lost in your thoughts and emotions, then avoid it. Otherwise, you are casuing yourself harm. You wouldn't put your hand in a fire. In the same way, don't compromise your energy or alignment by exposing yourself to difficult content. This may mean avoiding certain web sites, TV shows or social media streams. Social media can be particularly challenging for people in this respect. If content from somebody or an organization is causing you to react negatively, then mute or remove the feed. It is sometimes kinder to mute feeds from people you find difficult rather than disconnecting from them altogether. It keeps the communication open with the option of re-engaging later when it's more appropriate.
- If possible, ensure that you have good quality digital devices. Especially if you spend a lot of time on them. For example, it's going to be much easier to stay mindful if you're working on a laptop that's fast and easy to use. Rather than one that is sluggish and complex. When technology seems to be working against you, it's even more challenging to stay mindful.
- Configure your devices and make them easier to use. There's a correlation between simplicity and being mindful. There's lots you can do including remove unwanted apps and icons, and freeing up space to help make the device go faster. Even detail such as configuring menus and shortcuts that suit your usage will make life simpler. If you don't know how, then ask somebody technical for support. A friend or store assistance might be able to help.
- Keep some awareness on your breath or bodily sensations. This is a de facto technique used to become mindful or retain mindfulness. You can do this when using your devices.
- Be aware of thoughts and feelings. If you're able to, observe your thoughts and feelings whilst using the device. This will keep you aware and present. If you catch your thoughts turning negative, or you experience unpleasant feelings, stop using the device for a moment. Review what you're experiencing or communicating and check it's the right thing. For your information, meditation is a good way of training yourself to become more aware of thoughts and feelings if you find this difficult.
- Monitor internal resistance. If you catch yourself resisting something as you use your device, then something needs to change. You either need to bring acceptance to whatever content you're involved in or move away from the content altogether. When you're aligned, your device usage will be peaceful or enjoyable.
- Be aware of the space between you and the screen. For devices with screens, which are most of them, there's a space between your eyes and the screen. Be aware of that space at the same time as you're looking at the screen. Awareness of space helps you stay mindful.
- Take breaks from using your device. Briefly look away from your screen every couple of minutes. Look at something else in your environment. Something natural like a plant or the sky if possible. Every twenty minutes or so, have a break to do something physical. Even if it's a quick stand up or stretch. This will refresh you and keep you alert. It's far more challenging to stay mindful when you're tired.
- Regularly change the device environment. Change your background or screen saver on a regular basis. Or rearrange things in a different and more optimal way. This will keep your digital experience fresh. Changes in what we see and experience can help us to stay mindful.
- Be kind to your body during device usage. When the body is comfortable it's far easier to stay mindful. Also, stay safe. Devices should only be used when it's safe to do so. High risks activities like texting whilst driving or crossing a busy road should be avoided. People end up getting prosecuted, injured or losing their lives in the process. Many people use devices unsafely and believe they are free from the consequences. There are always consequences in being unsafe. Even if the mind doesn't understand that device usage is risky, the body will always respond by creating stress. When you are using your device in a dangerous situation it's highly likely that you are not mindful at the time. This means that your usage will be unskillful and harmful. It really does make sense to use your devices only when it is safe to do so.
- Communicate selectively, truthfully, and skilfully during usage. Skilful communication and mindfulness go hand-in-hand. If you're communicating skilfully, you're mindful. And when you're mindful, you will communicate skilfully.

Garlic Steak Seasoning
Sprinkle on both sides of steak and other meats before grilling, barbecuing, pan-frying or roasting or incorporate into an au jus to add a simple, flavorful sauce.
Classic and flavorful this blend of onion, garlic, salt, bell peppers, paprika, ginger, pepper, mustard, cinnamon and parsley together provide just the right amount of spice.
In this rub, we let the aromatic garlic take center stage, a sure winner for the garlic lover in all of us. This rub is so versatile, we think it's great with virtually any meat or vegetable. Use on: Extra-firm tofu, shrimp, scallops, salmon, mahi-mahi, chicken, duck, pork, beef, lamb.
Quick Recipe for Garlic Bread.
Mix 3 teaspoons Garlic Steak Seasoning with 3 Tablespoons softened butter. Slice breadstick and spread slices with seasoned butter, re-form loaf and pack tightly into an oiled tray. Spread any remaining butter over top crust. Cover loosely with foil and heat in oven at 180 C for 15 minutes until warmed through and crisp on top.
Onion, garlic, salt, bell peppers, paprika, ginger, pepper, mustard, cinnamon and parsley.

I am so over having Netflix content rammed down my throat already... what on earth are Foxtel playing at? I don't want it, I've never wanted it, I already have a Netflix button on my LG C8 remote if I did want it.
So now, I have to endure having Netflix offerings clogging up every nook and cranny of the IQ4 GUI? On the Home screen and every single section of every category I now have to see what I could be watching on Netflix which I don't pay for so cannot watch as well as the Foxtel offerings I do pay for and can watch.
this is SPAMMING
@Anonymous - please, please take this message loud and clear to the top of the Foxtel tree - please urgently update the new software so Foxtel customers can easily turn off all Netflix content if they never want to watch it and don't subscribe to it.
Hi @nonplussed I agree. I already have Netflix on my Samsung TV and subscribe to it. How Foxtel can say it is a bonus to their subscription service is beyond me. They must be getting desperate!
If Foxtel/Netflix start pumping the Netflix content with ads I'm out. Foxtel is bad enough, dreadful in fact, for the ads . I canned 3/4 of my Foxtel because of the ads & went to Netflix . We originally signed up for pay TV to get away from ads . Now we not only pay to watch ads , but the advertisers also pay to put them in - a double win for Foxtel to our detriment. If Netflix goes to ads , I'm out.
I disagree 100% and I don't want to dis Foxtel for adding Netflix.
The cost of having Netflix and it's content is cheaper than subscribing to Foxtel Movies, Drama and Doco's etc
A year ago I was ready to walk away from Foxtel as it was cheaper to get Amazon Prime, Netflix and Stan and have YouTube for anything else including a stack of Music Video's and Variety and also with my ISP giving me Fetch TV, Foxtel was slipping away.
A month ago clicking the apps button on Foxtel showed only Sky Weather, now if they fill up this app with more apps it's only going to make the reach of content better and they should add as many as they can including PlayStation Video.
As for Smart TV's a TV has always only been a Monitor for me, I don't even use the TV Speakers I use a Soundbar and I have all these other devices and the PS4 was actually starting to rule supreme as far as having all the available apps. Foxtel need to catch up by adding the apps.
I would agree seeing an on/off option for all apps but I would turn them all ON and only want more 🙂
25-07-2019 04:48 PM - edited 25-07-2019 04:49 PM
I have double checked my existing PRIVACY settings. Here you can change the following:
"allow Content Recommendations outside my subscription package"
I have NO selected. I changed it to yes, saved it, went back and reverted to NO just to make absolutely sure.
but Foxtel are still jamming ALL my content recommendations with NETFLIX SPAM
This renders all content recommendations USELESS. I only want Foxtel content recommendations, but there is no point in bothering to look at them any more as Foxtel have SPAMMED their own GUI with NETFLIX content recommendations !!!!!!!!
absolutely mind boggling business decision if it was done on purpose. I am really hoping it is just a stupid oversight that nobody in Foxtel bothered wasting valuable intelligence on, as it is an extremely rare commodity at Foxtel and must be rationed out and used sparingly for the important stuff like designing new bugs.
@Anonymous PLEASE tell me you are onto this and the powers that be at Foxtel have been alerted to this monumental stuff up. Paying Foxtel customers URGENTLY need their PRIVACY settings respected. If you want to make it specific to each App including Netflix and anything else you add later, that might be an idea in the future. But obviously, if you don't subscribe to Netflix, you don't need or want to see Netflix content recommendations and you need at least the option of turning them off in your Privacy Settings just like you can currently do for any Foxtel channels you do not subscribe to.
this is an absolute DEAL BREAKER for me. If Foxtel ignore this request and insist on Spamming me as a business decision, I am cancelling Foxtel and not coming back.
Absolutely disgraceful disregard for paying customers' Privacy Settings.

I just checked my setting for it too and must say that setting is pretty much useless. I don't want to see the lock symbol on anything nor do I want to see ANY rentals but when browsing anywhere on Foxtel it's everywhere.
While you might dislike Netflix, I really dislike clicking on "you might like this stuff" to see other movies or shows an actor is in and I see rent this rent this rent this and out of a dozen titles one is available and the rest are rentals. And when going through the On Demand I don't want to see anything I don't subscribe to also.
They really do need to brush up on their "settings"

Well, blow_me down with a feather....! I think they just fixed it !
All Netflix suggestions have just disappeared from every content recommendation section just as requested!
there is still a single row called New on Netflix on the Home Page and on the Movies and TV Shows Tabs etc, but I can live with that. It was the spamming of all the other rows of Foxtel content recommendation which I objected to and I can see they have all returned to exclusive Foxtel only non-Netflix suggestions and are therefore re-rendered useful!
If that was quick action from @Anonymous or the Foxtel reps, then a Big Thankyou indeed!
if it was just a coincidence and someone at Foxtel just noticed and fixed it up, well thanks anyway.
All good! A genuine win for Foxtel ! I am Plussed !
I hate innovation I really do. I really wish it was 1975 and we had 2 channels of fuzzy television. BCV 8 had all the cool shows that we had to wait months to see. Even had the cricket and the VFL that we didn't want to watch. Now these days thanks to that fan dangled interthingy, I have to use my remote all the time so I can scroll pass anything I don't want to see or not subscribed too cause it's in my face all the time. My batteries is important to me DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT!! And what's this appy thing we have now? WHY FOXTEL WHY? WANT MY ROTARY DIAL BACK AND FUZZY TV BACK!!!

Thanks for posting this... I want the fuzzy thing too and I am serious haha there should be one channel on TV that is fuzzy and here's why .... it is a pixel fixer 🙂
Hey Foxtel this would be a game changer haha you can give us square eyes watching TV and then you can fix them 🙂
I have seen people complain about the stupid large banner along the bottom of the screen on Sky news Australia stuff like this can cause screen burn. Back in the old days when TV used to go to sleep they put snow on the screen, it was the pixel fixer cleaning the screen while you sleep.
Here is your fix add this as a channel 🤔 https://youtu.be/U1vwOq_b7p8

Working Hard or Hardly Working
Whether working freelance or full-time, telecommuting has its benefits—freedom and flexibility are typically cited as the biggest perks of working from home. But those very perks can also lead to telecommuting's biggest pitfalls, like waning self-discipline, loss of focus, blurred lines between personal and work tasks, and more. So here are a few steps you might take to ensure that the time spent working at home is as productive as possible:
Create a work-friendly space—it's always a good idea to designate a spot in your home as your work zone. Even if you live in a tiny apartment, dedicate a corner where all your tools, materials, media connections, outlets, papers are at the ready. This will serve as a visual and psychological signal that it's time to get to work. Sure, sacking out on the couch or on your bed with your laptop is fine once in a while, but chances are you'll get more done in an organized space. If you share living space with others, make sure you communicate the importance of your work zone—and that if they see you occupying that space, they should leave you alone (read more below about limiting distractions).
Plan your time—the most productive freelancers we know tell us one of their secrets is to create todo lists for both the week and each day. This keeps them on track with major deliverables while helpfully breaking projects down into smaller daily chunks, making deadlines more achievable. "My list is how I manage myself. My frame of mind is that the day is done when the checklist is complete—that way I stay disciplined early on to free up my day later," one professional explained. To help juggle deadlines and keep track of your time, consider using project or time management software—many are available for free or at a very low cost.
Establish regular work hours—freelancers enjoy the freedom of deciding when they work. Some are night owls who prefer to crank projects out while the rest of the world slumbers. Others are happy with traditional work times. Whatever your preference, decide when you're "on the clock" so that clients know when they can reach you and personal contacts know when to leave you alone (read on). "Getting in a regular routine keeps me productive, " one freelancer explained, "Without that discipline I've found that one of two things happen. I procrastinate and then am in a self-created, stressful crunch to get things done. Or I start to feel like there's never any downtime."
Set boundaries and limit distractions—with no one looking over your shoulder, it's a challenge to stay focused and motivated or to keep others from interrupting your work flow. The traditional workplace once restricted your accessibility, but now friends, family, pets, frivolous screen time, and household tasks compete for your attention. Set rules for taking personal phone calls, doing the laundry, or checking Facebook during work time. Be clear with family and friends that even though you're home, you're working and you'll be happy to connect with them when your work day is done. "I have two phone lines—one for home and one for my office," a freelance writer reported, "During my office hours, my rule is that I don't answer the home line. I only pick up my office phone because only clients have that number." Another helpful suggestion is to set specific times for checking email so that the diversion doesn't impact critical deliverables for the day.
Stay in contact—as a remote worker it's critical that you stay connected, both from a client accessibility standpoint and to stave loneliness that sometimes accompanies being a solo act. Today's technology makes working from anywhere that much easier—so make sure you are equipped with the fastest Internet connection possible and latest communication gear that enables a variety of ways for clients to reach you. Phone, email, Skype—stay connected to keep clients happy and your project pipeline humming. For some lucky work-at-home pros, establishing boundaries and routines are unnecessary for success. But for the rest of us, taking steps to increase the likelihood that we'll stay engaged, focused and professional will ultimately improve our work performance and inspire confidence in our ability to deliver remotely.

The GCSE English fiasco that meant thousands of teenagers missed out on C grades this year faces a high court challenge, it was announced on Wednesday.
The unprecedented legal action will be submitted in the next week. It is being brought by an alliance of pupils, schools, councils and professional bodies, who want the students regraded after the boundary for a grade C in GCSE English was raised between January and June.
A spokesman for the alliance said that following a meeting of legal representatives on Wednesday, it was decided to put forward a claim for a judicial review.
"We have now thoroughly examined the case that we have and we are convinced of the merits of our case, and the expectation that we will have a success to get the outcome we want, which is a re-grade for students," he said.
"We will be putting our claim together and submitting it over the next week."
A week ago, Ofqual, England's exams regulator, vowed to "rigorously defend" its decisions over this summer's GCSE English results.
A pre-action letter was sent to the AQA and Edexcel exam boards as well as Ofqual three weeks ago, setting out plans for legal action.
An Ofqual spokesman said: "Our work to understand why some schools' results differed significantly from their expectations is continuing and we will report again shortly."
In Wales, the education minister, Leighton Andrews, ordered the WJEC exam board to regrade Welsh students' English papers. As a result, last month nearly 2,400 pupils who took English with the exam board received better results, after a review of the marking system.
Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), which is part of the alliance, said: "We are very disappointed that Ofqual and the awarding bodies have refused to take responsibility for their actions and to acknowledge that many thousands of young people's career ambitions have been undermined by a failure to implement the new qualification properly."
He said that the union, which represents the majority of secondary school and college leaders, is "determined to proceed to legal action and is working closely with other members of the alliance on this."
A spokesman for Pearson, which is responsible for Edexcel, said: "As we are in correspondence about proposed legal action this matter is now with our legal team and we will not be making further comment at this time."
The row over the English exams broke out as national GCSE results were published in August.
Ofqual conducted an inquiry into the fiasco, which concluded that January's GCSE English assessments were "graded generously" but the June boundaries were properly set and candidates' work properly graded.
The regulator insisted it would be inappropriate for either of the sets of exams to be regraded. Instead, students will be given an extra chance to resit the GCSE in November.
Lightman said that the decision to offer pupils an early resit is "a completely inadequate response".
"It is a damage limitation exercise that will only erode public confidence in the exam system further. We know that thousands of students who sat the exam in June and got a D grade achieved the same level of work as their fellow students who took the exams in January and received a C. It is only because of when they took the exam that they are being penalised and told to resit the exam. This is unfair," he said.
Resits would affect students' immediate options, their academic records and future applications, Lightman said.

- "A mage is only as good as what he knows."
- ―Urag gro-Shub[src]
The Arcanaeum or the Ysmir Collective[1] serves as the library for the College of Winterhold in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and is overseen by Urag gro-Shub. It houses over 100 books, and hardly any of them are doubles. Books can be read, but not removed from the library.
The most current knowledge suggests that the locked bookshelves do not have a key, nor can the lock be picked. However, they can be unlocked using the console command "unlock," selecting the bookcase within the command console to get the code, then typing it in. These seem to contain the same books that are already available around the library.
There is also an "Investigators chest" with a master lock. It contains four ornamental rings that are needed to complete a quest that involves a Daedra summoning ritual in the Midden Dark.
If the Dragonborn has the Elder Scroll, it can be given to Urag gro-Shub. Whenever it is given, there is no way the player can retrieve it again until Dawnguard.
In The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard, the Elder Scroll may be re-purchased, as part of the main quest, for 4000 (2000 if the Dragonborn is the Arch-Mage).
History[edit | edit source]
The books inside the Arcanaeum were made after the Second Era. Most of them are old, but well-preserved, because of Urag gro-Shub. Without him, it is likely that some of the books would no longer exist. Through the centuries, many books have come and gone, but many still remain. Urag tries to keep as much knowledge available to the mages as he can and takes his job very seriously.[2]
There are several skill books to be found within the Arcanaeum:
- A Dance in Fire, Book I
- A Dance in Fire, Book III
- A Dance in Fire, Book IV
- Mystery of Talara, Book I
Notable collections and texts[edit | edit source]
- Ysmir Collective
- Elder Scroll (Dragon) – after selling it to Urag gro-Shub it can then be seen in a display case behind Urag's desk.

The New York Character: A gallery-wide show exploring the energy, eccentricities and eccentrics that give New York City its unique character.
EXHIBITION DATES: June 7 – July 1, 2017
OPENING RECEPTION: Tuesday, June 6, 2017, from 6pm to 8pm. All are very welcome.
It's been said that finding happiness involves enjoying the scenery along life's many unexpected detours.
I delight in panning for visual gold, and when my muse abides, encountering that elusive revealing image which defines an event, ennobles the human spirit, or brings me closer to the quixotic but sometimes realizable goal of changing the world, one megapixel at a time.
The energy of the city, the density of crowds, is what inspires my various "people walking" photographs. For this series, I am in motion as well as my subjects. I am as much as I dare walking head-on into my subjects as they approach me. I use a normal or slightly wide-angle lens, so I am only several feet away from my subjects at the "moment of impact". For some reason I find this exhilarating, maybe because I am by nature a shy person; this is not something I would have been bold enough to do in my younger years.
It is no accident that I mostly shoot these pictures in Times Square or on Canal Street... as these are amongst the most pedestrian dense areas of the city. Crossing intersections is the most fruitful, as people are (rightfully) focusing on getting to the other side and maybe not so focused on their cell phones (or on the strange woman coming towards them). I am responding to people as moving shapes, as abstractions. I may be capturing the liveliness of humanity, but I do not want any picture to be "about the person". I want my people to be anonymous and to represent us all. So if anyone were to stop me, I'd explain that the picture I just took of them really isn't about them at all.
New York City is a magnet that attracts so many unconventional types. They come to this great metropolis to live their lives in a way that would be impossible in the towns where they grew up.
The sidewalks here are the home to many who act with little regard for the norm.
For the street photographer, spotting the bizarre and unusual is commonplace. In fact, we are programmed to expect the unexpected.
These unexpected (but expected) sightings on the streets of New York are what I seek to portray in this exhibit.
On a street corner in Chelsea, New York, a man sits in a wheelchair selling newspapers. I live in the neighborhood and walk by him every day, and every day I would notice that he wore a different, elegant three-piece suit. I was intrigued by the juxtaposition of this man and his surroundings, and I asked for permission to take his picture. Thus began my photographic project of Steve Malek, the newspaper man. I wanted to know his story, and understand why he dressed the way that he did, and this is what he told me:
"My name is Steve Malek. I live in a homeless shelter. I came to this country in August 2013, looking for justice and help for handicapped people who are suffering discrimination and despair in my country Gabon, in Africa. I wear a suit every day, even in rain and snow, because I believe that in order to live in greatness and prosperity, one must exercise greatness and prosperity in how they think, speak, act and dress. People like myself, handicapped people and people who are facing challenges, need to express to the world boldly, what they feel and need from the world. I also dress like this in cold weather to show that, although the cold is a challenge, handicapped people can cope with challenges just like anyone else. We have to respect and help each other to maintain a peaceful world. This is my way to draw attention to the situation and hopefully a good samaritan will notice and maybe help us. Thank you."
Admiring a regal mural of a Cuban immigrant woman created by artists JR and José Parlá, Rivka Katvan photographed it. Over the next two and a half years, she watched as the street art slowly was buried behind construction of a luxury condo building. This exhibition is Rivka's chronicle of the mural's destruction. "Street art and murals are disappearing from the streets of New York City. These incredible works of art that cover the buildings of NYC are a great way to appreciate and enjoy free art for all. The new construction of expensive apartment buildings overshadow this beauty. I documented one of these murals of a Cuban woman, Leda Antonia Machado, who lived through the Cuban Revolution, overlooking a gas station on the corner of 24th Street and 10th Avenue.
At times when I find myself looking into the past, or future and feeling overwhelmed, or frightened, all I must do is pick up my camera to feel at ease in the present. I create my own fantasy world through my lens.
This is a world in which I am in control, where I can escape the unpredictable nature of reality. This is a place that I create, and can see spring to life again and again whenever I slide my paper into the trays of the darkroom.
Last year was very precious for me. While facing serious health issues I spend months with my 6 years old daughter creating magical world of Paper Dreams. It was such a special time for both of us, sharing my passion with her and spending countless hours in the woods photographing or in the darkroom printing. She is my greatest inspiration. Those precious moments will last forever thanks to the memories and this project that we have created together.
Doll is created by Popovy Sisters.
Clothes are designed by Agnieszka Podczaszy
Neverdoll is a cinematic narrative that uses storytelling as a way to confront emotional states such as melancholy, loneliness and fear. The photographs represent pivotal moments in life's journey, which is often a mysterious and romantic voyage. With the use of a small doll with large eyes as the subject, the viewer is encouraged to immerse in themselves into these moments and to view the world differently.
Neverdoll is ongoing project photographed with a medium format camera and printed in a darkroom using the lith process. This process provides me the opportunity to create one of kind photographs that are as delicate and gritty as life itself.

Coco Cupcakes Review
The cupcake was a vanilla cake with strawberry infused icing - the icing was really awesome! It was sweet (warning if you can't handle too much sugar!) and really thick (you may need to pace yourself).
You kind of need a fork to attack this thing, but I was fine getting my face half messy :) The cake portion was light, fluffy and had a great taste of vanilla without being too sweet. It paired nicely with the strawberry icing which tasted exactly like real strawberries, and was quite sweet! Mind you, I have quite a sweet tooth so it was all good.
You can see the picture of the cupcake (ignore the mushed top, I tried it before I took the picture) - it's quite large and could be shared or half saved for later.
I am not sure how much they cost - I would guess $4ish but, I didn't ask my co-worker when they brought it in.
I'd go back again - the icing was sooooo yummy! Anyone else try any other flavours?

When I first went to CoCo's they had just started making the vanilla cupcakes therefor I decided I should try one van and one choc side by side. Even though they make a VERY good vanilla cake, I would have to say the choc was even better. It was even lighter and moister than the van and there is NO way anyone would ever know it was/is gf. I dont have a huge sweet tooth so I found the frosting (I had pb and strawberry) a bit too much for my taste (also VERY rich and buttery)so I just ended up eating a very small amount.ReplyDelete
I took time to speak with the owner, who is really nice, and she was very thoughtful in explaining that they have a separate area where the gf cupcakes are made, bins with separate "scoopers", separate bowls, etc. So, I was encouraged that I might be safe here. She mentioned they also freeze some cupcakes so you could possibly get one/some on off days, as well.
Personally, I feel The Sprout sells better cupcakes, with more original flavors, and less expensive... I suppose it depends what you're in the mood for though. If you want a lot of sweet/rich frosting and a simple choc/van cupcake, CoCo's is your place.
Thanks for the tip on the Sprout! It's on my list of places to eat in the next little while - i'll be sure to try one :)ReplyDelete

By: Xavier Romero-Frías
Romero-Frías born in Barcelona in
1954, is an independent scholar. He lived in the Maldives
between 1979 and 1991 studying the oral tradition
and other folk expressions. He has worked for the
Ministry of Education of the Maldive Government dealing
with the publication of schoolbooks, and for UNDP
in a project for the promotion of the local handicraft
industry. He is the author of a 300-page illustrated
ethnography on the Maldives, The Maldive Islanders,
A Study of the Popular Culture of an Ancient Ocean
Kingdom. Presently he resides with his family
in the city of Trivandrum, South India.
Romero-Frías is married to Aishath Naazneen
of Gaìge
house in Malé, Maldives. She is a Divehi language
broadcaster whose voice is heard in the Maldives,
Minicoy, India and Sri Lanka.
Military Flags
The first military Jack displayed the colours of the feìli
waistcloth worn by the soldiers and the noblewomen, which
incidentally were the same colours as the danödöimati
of the National Flag.
The Maldive soldiers were more a personal guard of the
ruler than a regular army, and they have remained so till
today. It is not sure when this flag was flown for the first
time, perhaps in the 1910s according to Mr. Tanödööiraiymaìge
The colours of the Military Flag were changed in the 1940s
when Muhammad AmÄín, still acting as a regent,
took the step of modernizing the external appearance of
the Maldive military forces. These jacks were not naval
flags and were flown either on military parades or at the
military headquarters.
In the late 1970s the Maldive military jack reverted to
its original colours but with a new simplified design. This
flag is usually charged with the circular emblem of the
NSS (National Security Service) in the middle, except on
smaller flags used to decorate the streets during military
Ministerial Flags
The Ministerial Flags were first flown in the early 1950s
and their use was quite limited. The Prime Ministers flag
was not used by Ibrahim Nasir when he was prime minister
(1958-68). In the 1960s the blue colour of the upper right
quarter was replaced by white for reasons not specified.
The prime ministerial (Bodöu VazÄíru)
office was abolished in the 1968 (republican) constitution
and then reinstated in 1972. This flag was used by
Ahmed Zaki on his car and boats until he was deposed and
the office abolished in 1975.
The Last Ministerial Flag was still flown on launches
ferrying Maldive government ministers to Huløule
airport in the early 1990s, but its probably no longer
in use.
The Disappearance of the Danödöimati
The black and white 'dandimati' was never regarded as part
of the flag. When the Maldive National Anthem was composed,
no reference was made to the black colour of the danödöimati. This
feature was removed in September 1965, over 3 years before
the second republic. The reason was the difficulty
of explaining to the UN (whose membership the Maldives had
just acquired) staff in New York, who casually queried, that
the Maldive colours were only green red and white, while
there was black as well on the flag. Still, a narrow white
band was kept close to the hoist.
For some reason, this flag was already flown in this form
without danödöimati in the 1950s, before the end
of the Monarchy and the removal of the danödöimati
from the national flag. Thus, the Presidential Flag has
retained the basic design of the last Kings standard. It
is still currently in use and can be seen at the Presidents
Office in MaleØ.
This giant white flag, the last with a danödöimati,
was flown from a tall pole at the Medu Ziyaìraiy,
where the saint who converted the Maldivians to Islam allegedly
lies buried. It used to have a fringe of small triangular
pieces of cloth like the ancient Maldive flags. Owing to
Wahhabi influence within the Maldive government (Wahhabis
and other militant Muslim hard liners frown at the veneration
of saints and holy men) this flags use was discontinued
in the late 1980s. Similar flags were flown also at Ali
Rasgefaìnus ziyaray and other important graves of
holy men. All those tombs were formerly important landmarks
in Male.
A few flags with a design based on the Green Ensign were
approved in the 1950s. This was the flag of the Chief Justice
Minister (Uttama Fanödöiyaìru). A popular
joke was made about this flag that when there was little
wind (lack of bribes) one of the plates of the Scales of
Justice was heavier.
Flag of the Port Health Officer
This flag has the same basic design as the Flag of the
Uttamu Fanödöiyaìru. Both were short lived.
The Red Crescent represents the Muslim version of the Red
Cross. After a few years it was replaced by the flag below.
This flag, charged with the initials of the Port Health
Officer replaced the flag above in the early 1960s. It
fell into disuse at an unknown date some time in the 1970s.
This flag was adopted at about the same time as the last
version of the PHO flag. The emblem on the customs flag
carries the outline of the munnaru at the Hukuru Miskiy
in MaleØ (the only customs of Maldives was there).
The word customs is written in English. No flag in Maldives
had any writing either in the old Divehi Akuru or in the
Taìna script. The date in which this flag was abandoned
is not known.

Now that spring is (seemingly) on its way, New Year's resolutions are old news. Whether it be shedding a few pounds or cleaning out an old closet, most people forget their resolutions on the first of February. Whatever your resolution was, it's not too late to make a few lifestyle changes that will help bring about a healthy 2017. Meal planning is the best way to become a more efficient cook and will save you time, money and calories all year long.
Americans are arguably the most flagrant food wasters in the world. In a country of abundance, why scrimp and save? With a mega grocery store on every corner, we've become spoiled eaters, reliant on convenience and simplicity. There's no fun in that. Save money and get a little creative this year with the help of one of the world's most versatile ingredients - chicken.
It may come as a surprise to some shoppers that chicken isn't always sold in convenient pre-portioned pieces. Think you're getting your money's worth when you buy a pack of chicken breasts? Think again. An entire chicken is often cheaper than a package of breasts or thighs, and amounts to more food. Why buy a few pieces when you can get the whole bird for less? Learning to break down a whole chicken is intimidating, but its essential to becoming a smarter cook. This savvy money saving tool gets the most bang for your buck, without any waste. Grab a sturdy cutting board and a sharp knife and get to work.
This year, value quality and flavor over convenience and be a smarter cook. Discover 5 ways to use every piece of the chicken with the recipes below:
Wings & Drumsticks - Hot Honey Chicken Wings
For wing sauce:
3 Tbsps Soy sauce
2 Tbsps Honey
1 Tbsp Chili paste
Whisk together all three ingredients and adjust to taste.
1) Separate wings and drumsticks from the body.
2) Rub chicken with about 2 tbsps of olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place chicken on a wire rack atop a baking sheet & roast on top shelf of the oven at 375 degrees until crispy, about 45 minutes.
3) Coat chicken in the wing sauce and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, until the sauce is warm and sticky.
Thighs - Braised Chicken Thighs with Lemon & Artichoke
1 cup AP flour
1 tsp each of salt and pepper
1 cup chicken stock
1 can of artichokes
1/2 cup dry white wine
juice of 1/4 lemon
vegetable oil for cooking
1) Heat a sauté pan over medium - high heat and coat lightly with vegetable oil.
2) In a bowl combine a cup of flour, a teaspoon of salt and teaspoon of pepper. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture and place the thighs skin side down in the hot pan. Cook until brown on all sides. Remove thighs from pan and set aside.
3) Add a ½ cup of white wine to the hot pan and deglaze. Return chicken to the pan and add ½ cup of chicken broth, a can of drained artichokes, a squeeze of lemon juice and a few sprigs of thyme. Cover and simmer for 15 mins, or until chicken is cooked through.
Breasts - Sun dried Tomato and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken
In order to remove the chicken breasts from the whole bird, place the chicken on a cutting board breast side up, with the neck of the chicken facing you. Using a sharp knife, make one slice directly down the middle of the chicken, running alongside the breastbone. Continue to slice along the ribs, holding the breast in one hand and the knife in the other. Continue to slice until the breast is removed from the bone, and repeat on the other side.
2 Chicken breasts
4-5 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup goat cheese
1/4 cup whole basil leaves
1) Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2) Slice along the side of the thickest portion of the breast to make a pocket, but don't slice all the way through.
3) Make a mixture of goat cheese and chopped sun dried tomatoes. Stuff pockets with mixture and a few basil leaves. Place the chicken breasts in a roasting pan and cover chicken with a thick slice of fresh mozzarella. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 mins, until cheese is melted and golden brown.
Bones - Hearty Chicken Broth
1 Chicken Carcass
1 Onion, cubed
2 Celery stems, chopped
2 Carrots, chopped
2 Bay leaves
2 Parsley stems
2 Thyme sprigs
1) Place the chicken carcass in a large stock pot and cover with cold water.
2) Add salt, pepper, fresh thyme, garlic and vegetables to water. Cover and simmer for anywhere from 1 to 2 hours or until meat falls from the bone.
3) Let chicken cool, remove all remaining meat and set aside for Chicken Salad. Strain broth through a fine sieve. Serve plain or add celery, carrots, beans, chopped spinach, cooked potatoes, rice, pasta or any combination of ingredient you might like for a veggie soup.
Remaining Meat - Tarragon Chicken Salad
1 Cup of shredded chicken
1/4 Cup chopped green grapes
1/4 Cup chopped celery
1 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 Tsp chopped tarragon
1/4 Tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1) Using the leftover meat from the chicken broth, combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
2) Taste and adjust seasoning by preference. Pile on top of some crusty sourdough, or make sliders with Kings Hawaiian slider buns.
