Beets are incredibly sweet and that is why they work so well in cake recipes. These cakes are sort of like red velvet cupcakes, but they filled with all things good. Also, these cakes are soft, moist and just perfectly delicious.
The nutritious make-up of beets is also a great reason to use them in your baking. They are high in potassium, magnesium, fiber, iron and phosphorous. Additionally, they contain high levels of vitamins A, B & C as well as folic acid. They are great as an inclusion in every diet but they are especially great for pregnant people because of the vitamin B, iron and folic acid. Because of the presence of betaine and tryptophan in beets, they are also beneficial for your mental health. They can also help to lower your blood pressure and boost your energy.
To make 12 of these tasty cakes, you will need the following ingredients:
1¼ cups / 6 ¼ oz / 190g of whole wheat (all-purpose) flour
¼ cup /1 ¾ oz / 50g of coconut sugar
2 tbsp of raw cacao
2 – 3 large beets, steamed and pureed until smooth
½ cup / 6oz / 175g of organic runny honey
2 tbsp of coconut oil
1 tsp of lemon juice
1 tsp of vanilla extract
Before you get started, preheat the oven to 425F / 220C / gas mark 7 and line a 12-cup muffin tray.
You can then sift the flour, coconut sugar, raw cacao, and baking powder into a large bowl. Mix until well combined, and then set aside.
Place the pureed beet, honey, coconut oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor and blitz for one to two minutes until it is smooth. Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.
Next, spoon the mixture into the muffin tray before placing in a preheated oven. You can then bake for approximately 20 minutes. After this time, check the muffins have cooked all the way through. If they are not quite ready yet then return to the oven for another five minutes before turning out on to a wire rack to cool before serving.
The cakes will store for three days in an airtight container. Serve with your favourite cup of herbal or green tea and enjoy.

No Immediate Threat from Reported North Korea Missile Tests
No Immediate Threat from Reported North Korea Missile Tests
- Press Release
- Posted on Date: 05/04/2019 01:00 pm
No Immediate Threat from Reported North Korea Missile Tests
The Offices of Guam Homeland Security and Civil Defense (GHS/OCD), in conjunction with the Mariana Regional Fusion Center (MRFC), federal and military partners, continue to monitor events surrounding the region including reports of multiple short-range missiles launched out of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
South Korean officials stated several short-range projectiles were launched this morning from the DPRK's Hodo peninsula, which is located on the eastern coast of Pyongyang. The projectiles reportedly flew 70 to 200 kilometers before landing in the sea.
"There is no indication the reported tests pose an immediate threat to Guam or the Marianas," stated Homeland Security Advisor Tim Aguon. "GHS/OCD, along with local and federal partners, will continue to monitor the events surrounding the region."

Russia's track and field team has been barred from the Rio Olympics
The global governing body for track and field has barred the Russian track and field team from the Summer Olympics in Rio because of widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs and a lack of effort to clean up their athletes, according to the New York Times.
Ultimately, the fate of the team will be determined by the International Olympic Committee. However, as the Times notes, the IOC typically defers to the governing bodies of individual sports.
SEE ALSO: Bubba Watson spends rain delay hanging out with his son
Russia has been banned from international competitions for the past seven months after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accused Russia of what the Times describes as "an elaborate government-run doping program."
There is some feeling that the IOC could still allow athletes to compete who have never tested positive. However, whistle-blowers have alleged that many of the steroid users have never tested positive.
This would be the first time that an entire nation was barred from an Olympic sport because of doping.

Mystic Vale Review
Mystic Vale is the newest deckbuilding game from Alderac Entertainment Group (Istanbul, Love Letter) and John D Clair for 2-4 would-be druids. However, the box actually proclaims it a 'Card Crafting System', using transparent inserts and tarot-sized cards to create a deck builder where you don't build your deck so much as engineer your cards.
The game obviously makes use of slick tech with its transparent cards and gorgeous art, but is it, you know, *good*? Watch our review for our thoughts!
(Thanks to AEG for providing our review copy. Their generosity didn't influence our opinions)

Mankato Free Press readers like Tony Cornish's 'don't be a thug' letter
The advice of Rep. Tony Cornish on how not to get killed by police brought widespread condemnation from liberals and people of color. The former thought Cornish was overly trusting of authority; the latter said Cornish's use of the word "thug" — as in: "don't be a thug" — was a thinly-veiled code word for black people.
Looks like Cornish won't suffer anywhere near as much judgment where he actually lives.
A not-exactly scientific poll conducted by the Mankato Free Press found the "vast majority" of southern Minnesota-area respondents were on board with his message. At least, to a point.
To refresh, here was Cornish's six-point list of how to avoid having things go wrong:
The newspaper asked readers just a single question: Do they agree that "it's criminals, not police, who are to blame for officers' use of force," as Cornish contended in his Op-Ed for the Star Tribune?
The poll was conducted on a voluntary basis through emails sent to Free Press readers last week. About 600 people responded. Of those, 78 percent said "People who take [Cornish's] advice are unlikely to have problems with the police."
About 16 percent responded that "even law-abiding people have reasons to fear police," and another 5.5 percent weren't sure how to answer.
Cornish's letter was a response to the shooting of Jamar Clark, and the decisions by local and federal prosecutors not to bring charges against the officers involved. The Mankato findings are a marked contrast from a recent statewide survey from the Star Tribune, which asked a number of Clark-related questions. Some 55 percent of Strib respondents believed the police version of events on the night that Clark was killed, and only 17 percent of black people did.
Even higher numbers thought cops could have been "less confrontational" in dealing with Clark. (At that time nothing more than an uncooperative suspect, the 24-year-old was taken to the ground in a chokehold, setting off a physical struggle.) Only 41 percent of all surveyed, and 11 percent of black Minnesotans, thought the situation was "handled right."
Mankato happens to fall at the intersection of three different counties: Le Seur County (77 percent white, according to census estimates); Blue Earth County (92 percent white), and Nicollet County (94 percent white).
Maybe Tony Cornish was onto something, even if it's not applicable across the whole state. It sure seems like the perception of police is way darn different for the people who live near him. And look like him.

Sprinkler system watering enters seasonal schedule
Once-a-week watering matches trash collection day
LITTLE ELM (November 2, 2017) For many, the annual holiday season officially begins on Halloween night and ends on New Year's Day, a reminder brought on by cooler temperatures and falling leaves.
That chilly reminder should also send a signal that changes also apply to watering our lawns with automatic sprinklers, says Andrew Figueroa, Utilities Superintendent.
"On November 1, we entered the Seasonal Watering schedule," he said. "Watering with automatic sprinkler systems enters the once-a-week restriction until March 31 of next year."
To simplify the schedule, Town officials have designated each neighborhood's allowable watering day to coincide with their trash and recycling collection day.
Lawns and landscapes enter a dormant stage during this general time period, requiring far less watering that in warmer months. This hibernation period will often turn lawns from green to brown, but that does not mean the grass has died.
To maintain a healthy lawn during this period does not require constant watering, but other steps can be taken.
While water is still essential, a once a week soaking is more than adequate, and when fall and winter rains or snow occur, no additional water is generally necessary. The Town's water conservation policy also prohibits over-seeding and the planting of cool season grasses.
For landscape beds, the addition of two to four inches of a quality, nutrient-rich mulch product or compost is often enough to keep the soil moist without additional watering. The nutrients in the mulch or compost also get the soil ready for spring plantings.
"Automatic timers should be turned off," said Figueroa. "If any watering is necessary, homeowners should use the manual on/off feature on their systems."
Officials also encourage the use of weather-based irrigation tools such as WaterMyYard.org or by regularly visiting http://littleelm.org/809/Water-Conservation-Guidelines.

Last Thursday I attended "Girls Night Out" hosted by Brides magazine, Modern Bride magazine, and Lenox. No, I didn't pretend to still be a bride, as tempting as that was. I went for my sister-in-law, as she's getting married next spring. We didn't stay long because it was so crowded and wasn't quite as relaxing or fun as we expected. Imagine some 200 odd hungry brides and their bridesmaids fighting for hors d'oeuvres and cocktails. Not the prettiest sight. But instead of bashing the bash, I'll say two good things. It was held at D'Or at Amalia Restaurant, and we all loved the lounge, especially their decor. Second, like the title says, I love swag. And the star of this swag bag was a T3 flat iron! If you're wondering what's so great about T3, please read all about the entire line at Beauty Snob. They know beauty products and have said nothing but great things about T3.
Next up, I'll be attending BFF Bridal's event tonight at the W in Union Square. The last event in September was definitely one to remember, so I'm looking forward to this one. More swag? Yes, please!

The global Stereoscopes Market is classified on the basis of product type, application and geography. Stereoscopy, at times called as stereoscopic imaging, is a technique used to enable a three-dimensional effect, adding an illusion of depth to a flat image. Stereopsis, commonly known as depth perception, is the visual perception of differential distances among objects in one's line of sight. There are a number of visual signals that helps to see things that way. A stereoscope is a device for viewing a stereoscopic pair of separate images, illustrating left-eye and right-eye views of the same scene, as a single three-dimensional image.
Full Research Report On Global Stereoscopes Market Analysis available @ https://www.millioninsights.com/industry-reports/stereoscopes-market
A typical stereoscope offers each eye with a lens that makes the image seen through it look bigger and more distant and generally also shifts its apparent horizontal position, so that for a person with normal binocular depth perception the edges of the two images seemingly fuse into one stereo window. A simple stereoscope is restricted in the size of the image that may be used. A more complex stereoscope utilizes a pair of horizontal periscope-like devices, allowing the use of larger images that can present more comprehensive information in a wider field of view.
There are a number of advantages of stereoscope such as magnification that provides a wider field for view reduces eye strain, avoids distraction to the user and so on. On the basis of product type, the Market is classified as Prism Type Stereoscope, Reflex Type Stereoscope and Fence Type Stereoscope.

On the basis of application, the stereoscopes market report is classified as household and commercial. Among the application, commercial segment is expected to account a major share in the Stereoscopes Market. On the basis of geography, the Stereoscopes Market is classified as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World.
In case of geographical region, North America is projected to account a major share in the global market. Some of the prominent players that fuel the growth of the Stereoscopes Market include Olympus, Leica, Zeiss, Fisher Scientific, Tescan, Aven Inc., Celestron, VWR, Nikon and Motic.

I think this was our first really beautiful day outdoors this Spring. I spent the majority of the day weeding and clearing winter debris from my flower garden and it's looking promising for lots of florals to shoot this summer! I'm very excited about that and the still lifes I can create.
Before I began the REAL work, I took time to transplant a couple succulents……donkey tail and aloe vera. I'm hoping I didn't already kill the donkey tail. It looks like it had been too wet for too long, so I'm hopeful that the transplant will revive it. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
On both of these images, I used Kim's "allthat" texture with multiply blend mode at 100% and then I added a mask to the texture layer and brushed some of the texture off portions of my image. I haven't used many textures lately but this one with all the wood, the burlap sack and colors on the pots just called for texture.
IMAGE #1 – Before Transplant
IMAGE #2 – After Transplant
As I walked around the flower bed, I noticed all the moss growing in one of my Earth Boxes. All those little tiny TINY pieces growing upwards with water on them left from the rain last night just looked amazing to me. It made me think about the book I'm currently reading called One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are by Ann Voskamp.
I had to write this "gift" down in my notebook……..the beauty and wonder of something so very small and intricate……..a tiny living plant that knows precisely when to grow in a universe that is balanced so perfectly to allow life here on Earth…….and thoughts of our Lord who made it all possible.
I'm going to place this post in my "Little Things I Love" category…….simply because I'm in my element when working in my garden and I love it all……the sights, sounds, smells, and thoughts……my little piece of Heaven right in my backyard……my time and place for soul searching, meditation, and even relaxation.
I hope you enjoyed peeking into my world today. What is it that gives you peace and relaxation?
Hugs and Have A Creative Day!

Watch: Andre De Grasse runs 9.69 for 100 meters...very wind aided
Canadian Olympian Andre De Grasse ran 9.69 for the win at the Stockholm Diamond League meet on Sunday afternoon but the time was very wind aided.
The allowable limit for a race is 2.00m/s and the race on Sunday had a wind reading of 4.8 m/s. DeGrasse's wind-legal personal best is 9.91. Usain Bolt's world record is 9.58 from the 2009 IAAF World Championships in Berlin.
Watch the race below:
[youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E-nR7usVLY]
"The wind was pretty much a hurricane," announcer Tim Hutchings said after the race.
DeGrasse has already said that his hope is to defeat Bolt at the upcoming IAAF World Championships in London. At last year's Olympics, De Grasse won a bronze medal in the 100 meters and a silver medal in the 200 meters.

Finally! This weekend was warm enough to roll out the smoker and smoke some spareribs. I know. You could argue that there is no such time as no smoker-time. Still, it's not fun to smoke when it's freezing cold and it rains on your head. So. I prepared this focaccia to go with the spareribs and some coleslaw and rucola salad.
- flour
- chili bread flour mix
- yeast
- salt
- sugar
- water
- alp cheese
- wild garlic
- lardo
- olive oil
- prepare the dough adding the grated alp cheese and the chopped wild garlic and leave the dough to rise;
- flatten out the dough with your fingers, sprinkle some olive oil and add some slices of lardo on top;
- bake and serve, still warm it's the best!

Dear NPA enthusiast,
As you receive this communication NPA recognizes you have an interest
in forming or revitalizing an NPA Chapter in your area. The most
frequent request is, "How do I get started?" Herein is
information to assist you. The leaders in NPA hope that you will
find the involvement in Chapter Leadership rewarding and a bright
star in your career accomplishments.
First, we would like you to become very familiar with the NPA and
the task at hand. To know the Network Professional Association you
need to be a member, so that you have access to the member only
resources. This may be your first leap of faith, register your membership
or renew now. (Access issues contact NPA
for help)
To set up or revitalize a chapter there must be a leadership group
in the chapter composed of 5 NPA members in good standing. There
is a fair amount of planning, communication, forms and finally
authorization to process. The NPA publishes the NPA CHAPTER HANDBOOK
and the accompanying
NPA MEMBER HANDBOOK. Both of these items are available on the document
link of www.npa.org member
page and the NPA Chapters page.
The "NPA Code
of Ethics" is a centerpiece of NPA. Recognize
how it complements your efforts in setting up a chapter. When your
chapter is authorized by the Executive Director, the president of
your chapter will be granted access to the administrative module
of npa.org where you will find chapter management tools like email
and database downloads.
Don't be overwhelmed. Take everything in programmed, organized
steps. Have a planning group to help set reasonable goals. Use the
table of contents in the manuals to find just the sections you need
for now. We are all volunteers. Program your volunteer effort, don't
burn out.
Finally, solicit support from local individuals, companies and
vendors. Everyone benefits from being associated with an educated
professional group. And, visit the NPA web site frequently. It is
the information hub for the NPA.
All news and benefits are posted there.
Ready to start your chapter? Let your intent be known

This has been one of THE wettest, coldest Springs I can recall in quite some time. As such, looking at the very slow growth of the hops in both yards and witnessing how extremely wet the new/large yard was, it felt like we were on schedule. It felt like taking a day to get the tractor back in condition – changing fluids, filters, greasing fittings, etc. – seemed like a good way to make use of the time. "There's no way I could be stringing coir, training plants to bines, taking soil samples…it's too damn wet and cold to be in the yards!" I convinced myself. And then a week of warmer temperatures arrived and upon my next trip to the Farm I suddenly realized, "Shit! How can I now be behind…by a month!!"
Also in the period from early April until now, I was able to attend an incredible tractor maintenance and safety course, given by the well known and respected Shane LaBrake. The stellar folks at Cornell University hosted and coordinated this 2-day training at their Belmont extension campus. This was EXACTLY the type of course I was looking for as both a neophyte tractor owner as well as someone not raised in an "Ag" family. Now we've had smaller compact tractors at the house along with hand mowers and I could fiddle my way around these the majority of the time, but our International Harvester 674 diesel was a different category and I've neither felt safe nor competent using this machine since we got it in the Spring of 2016.
So while I'm so thankful for the opportunity to take this course…AND to make use of it right away getting the IH674 ready for the season…when I walked into the hopyards at the first week of May, I got that punch to the gut that things had spring boarded ahead and it was now time to play catch up. The small hopyard had a number of bines that were definitely at trainable length. That's wonderful, too bad I don't have the coir strung yet! So on a cold and windy Sunday (I was able to head up a day early thanks to my awesome wife Jenn!!), with the help of my brother Mike driving the tractor and my Dad handing coir and equipment to me, I was able to run up and down to the crow's nest stringing the coir at the top and then securing it at the base. "Huh…that's nice…oh hey, those beds are super weedy and you need to also actually train all those bines" was the little voice inside my head.
We string our yards somewhat differently than other yards…and it's an experiment. Typically the coir is strung along the top wires…as we do…but then uses "W" clips driven into the ground at each hop plant to secure the bottom of the coir. Well I didn't want to have to drive all the metal into the ground…at every plant…each and EVERY single year for the 20 or so years of these plants (God willing!). So my AccuWeather boss and good Farming buddy Tom Carey came across a flexible anchor designed to be driven into soil to secure any type of cabling. So in addition to having not to replace these every year, saving ourselves time by simply tying the coir to these year after year and being able to do it well before the hops emerge, we could replace these when they fail, removing old materials from the soil.
I attempted to put these in late last Summer as our large hopyard was at least 2 months behind schedule, and well, that clay was bullet proof. So slamming them in with a "hops harpoon" Tom welded together for me, was insane. This year with the soils super saturated, I was able to simply step them into place using the same tool originally intended for the "W" clips. I would've liked to pat myself on the back but I was kicking myself in the pants for being behind again this year, albeit not nearly as bad. However last year I didn't yet have an additional 400 plants for us to attend to. Scheisse!!!
After getting the small yard primarily started and all the coir hung (thanks again to my Dad and brother Mike!), I then turned my attention to the large yard, again where we'd starting banging in soft anchors but stopped when we realized we wouldn't be stringing hops by any stretch of the imagination in 2016. Dad, as always, offered his services and although I wasn't able to use his energy in the small yard weeding…something that destroys my back at 46 let alone at 79 like my Dad…it was great having his company and extra help in the large yard. He'd hand me the flexible anchors and I'd drive them in, clearing whatever immediate weeds that needed taken out to get to the hops. Even though the temps were a bit warmer this day, the wind was still blowing and it was colder than normal for May. But we got over 2 full rolls completed and that leaves us less than 1 full row to be done. Then the monumental effort will be to string the coir up there like in the small yard, except for 420 not 30 plants…AND 2 coirs per plant! Did I say "Scheisse" yet?!!
I also knew that no matter what, I had to get the brush hog into both hopyards as the clover was going insane and encroaching on the hops hills. Additionally in the large yard, water was pooling substantially. I'd meant to get the subsoiler in there last Fall but it just never happened. So with the yard trimmed down, I threw on the subsoiler and went to town ripping multiple 6-8″ deep veins into the soil to open it up in the hops to reduce the compaction caused by the large tractor and drain the water. Now in general it was still too wet to have the tractor on those alley ways, but we had to do something to loosen up that soil and drain in. And dammit…it just felt good to look back and see that subsoiler opening up the soil to "breathe". I couldn't think of a better way to wrap up a very busy two days!
And so on the next trip up, the goal will be to finish weeding and complete the training of all the bines in the small yard and if possible, begin the early work on stringing a portion of the large yard. We'll need additional hands as May goes along with that project so I'll be calling on some buddies to see if they can lend and hand in exchange for a small stipend, pizza … oh, and yeah…the best beer around (Straubs!)

About Us
Third Space Bolton wants to help young people overcome the obstacles to their social, mental, physical and spiritual well-being.
Third Space is a term that means your 'leisure time'.
(First Space is your family time, Second Space is your working day)
Third Space is an important space to think about and reflect on our lives in our First and Second Spaces and the bigger questions of life. Coffee can be helpful!
Mission statement
"As Christians we want to inspire, unite and support young people across Bolton to live healthy and fulfilled lives"
Third Space is a resource for supporting health and wellbeing (mental, physical, social) of young people (13 - 25) and for inspiring community cohesion. We also want to be a resource to enable young people to choose a belief in God.
We will provide:
A range of health and wellbeing services in schools, colleges and the community.
A fair-trade cafe facility in the town centre which offers work placements and community events.
Signposting to other services and agencies that can support health and wellbeing
Third Space Bolton was launched in September 2015 as an ecumenical Christian charity supporting youth and young adults. Revd Mark Cowling (Young Adults Missioner in CofE) had developed Fit4Life and Love Running and had experience with Youth Alpha and Romance Academy. With a team of trustees from local churches, kick start funding was received leading to a well received launch of the schools and students work, the cafe and events.
Our vision
Third Space Bolton wants to help young people overcome the obstacles to their social, mental, physical and spiritual well-being:
-25% young people suffer from mental health problems which can be diagnosed by a GP
-Schools are measured by the academic achievement of students, however emotional intelligence and well-being, which is a better predictor or success in the workplace, needs more investment.
-The number of young people being referred to counter-radicalisation schemes is expected to double in the next two years and community cohesion is under threat.
-Many young people are not supported sufficiently in having an opportunity to choose a belief in God.
Third Space Bolton aims to fill a growing gap by being a unique high quality health and well-being resource for young people in Bolton, reaching thousands of young people in education and hundreds of people through our cafe and events.

Prosthetics help Shawnee boy born missing some bones
Talon Teague hopes devices will help him keep up with other kids
Summer vacation can be full of new adventures for children everywhere, and a second-grade student from Shawnee is beginning a new journey one step at a time.
Talon Teague, a second-grader at Merriam Elementary, wants to do everything other children can do, but it's been a lot harder.
"He was born with missing bones," said his mother, Diane Teague. "The tibia in both legs and the radius in his right arm."
Talon has worked hard in physical therapy to try to keep up.
"(He's) engaging his knees a lot more. He used to waddle like a duck," said Diane Teague, adding that other children would pick on him.
Decker Integrated Prosthetics in Overland Park is helping Talon with a new pair of prosthetic legs. Once he got them on, he began the first steps into a whole new world of opportunities.
The adjustment wasn't instant, but as he got used to the legs, his mother could see what was ahead of them.
"He's just going to be fast and I'm going to have to be faster," she said. "It's the first time I've seen my kid with running feet. It's amazing."

I'm a firm believer in the power of the marketplace, that every dollar we spend on food is a binary vote: either FOR an agriculture system that makes our bodies, our communities, and our environment healthier, or AGAINST it.
A couple of weeks ago, I spent a day at the largest annual organic farming conference in the US, held just two hours away from the Twin Cities, in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. The Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (MOSES) conference provided a glimpse into the zeitgeist of today's organic movement. Although organic food is fully integrated into the marketplace and can be found everywhere from Cub Foods to The Wedge, the small farmers who make up the backbone of the movement don't lack for revolutionary fervor. They're still driven by a passion to change the world.
Photo courtesy of RawFoodLife.comLast December, we wrote about ana Sofia Joanes, food policy activist and director of the movie Fresh, and her campaign against BigAg monopolies.
With this morning's announcement of 2009's Academy Award nominees, it seems appropriate to look at food from the perspective of a movie goer. Last year, two broadly released movies featured food in a starring role: Food, Inc. and Julie and Julia. We'll find out today if either of them garners any nominations.In the meantime, I'd like to look back through the years and pick the films that most successfully incorporate food into the plot. I'll include the most recent first, then continue moving backwards in time. Then on Thursday, I'll select the most memorable food-related scenes from the history of cinema.
I'm thinking a lot about food systems these days. Fundamentally, there seems to be collective agreement that ours is broken (unless you happen to work for Monsanto or Smithfield), so I've been spending a lot of time thinking about how we might fix it. (Jill Richardson's excellent "Recipe for America" has a few ideas too - that and her La Vida Locavore blog are well worth reading.)
Specifically, I've been thinking about food systems that are:
Photo from http://educate-yourself.org/As I type this, I am sick to my stomach.No, it's not something I ate. It's something I read, this headline:Forbes Magazine named Monsanto the #1 company of the year for 2009Makes me want to puke.If you want to read the article yourself, you'll have to Google it; I refuse to drive traffic to the Forbes Magazine website.I read it, and then had to create an account to post a comment. Here's what I wrote:
ana Sofia joanes to DOJ: "Free our farmers"
Obama campaigning in Iowa, January 2008.
While the debate over healthcare reform continues to rage in Washington, other political news can get lost in the cracks.
Case in point, did you know that President Obama recently nominated two "Big Ag" executives -- with connections to Monsanto and CropLife -- to key posts in the U. S. Department of Agriculture? The story wasn't covered by the mainstream news organizations, so I didn't hear about it until I received an action alert from Food Democracy Now.

Dear Friends,


text:
Today we have become so used to the unadulterated mocking of politicians, that direct insults and impersonations are unabashed and abundant. What we find less and less is fantastical caricature and unreal analogy. Daumier's notorious political satire – currently on display at the Royal Academy – offers a soaring vision of the origins of satirical portraiture, through his uncompromising caricatures of the political elite and bourgeoisie.
Daumier chronicled every day life in nineteenth century Paris with shameless precision – pushing every grimy detail into the spectator's view. The stars of his portraits come from the margins of society: laundresses, street entertainers, farm workers. He reduced Paris from its dreamy, stony architectural grandeur to its viscous, sordid streets. Working from memory, his figures are harrowingly blurred and distorted – with warm pastels overrun with ribbon-like outlines.
An unexpected idiosyncrasy is Daumier's brilliant skill in portraying contemplation, and isolation. Amidst the bustle of city scenes there are voids – blank windows, shadows or walls – which bring out the paradoxical solitariness of city life. Lone figures are common: at the end of the exhibition, there is a peaceful portrayal of artistic beginnings, with light streaming through a window onto a canvas to suggest creative potential ('The Artist Facing his Work', 1860-63).
The political elite, by contrast, were satirised in a fantastical, grotesque world; mimicking their own misunderstanding of the reality they presided over. Daumier's process began with cartoonish sculptures in seedy tertiary colours, from which is modelled his distorted figurines. He aimed for high-profile targets; his lithographs moving with all the violence and changeable nature of politics at the time. Monarchy is detailed as a corpse in a coffin, with the sarcastic caption 'Meanwhile, they keep insisting she has never been better.' (1872). By the 1870s his satire was intense, powerful and prescient: censorship laws had by now relaxed with the fall of authoritarian rule.
Faces are gaunt – with pale pink flesh cut under black bone structures. Appalling realities such as cholera epidemics are analogized to fairytale figures. Raw violence is shown in gaunt form. 'Madame is moving, transferring from the cemeteries. Hurray! The dead are going fast!' (1867) is an instance of the recurring theme of mortality towards the end of Daumier's life. Rejected by the censor three times, it is Tim-Burton-esque, correlating the death (the Grim Reaper) with industry (a steam engine) and military armament.
Daumier separates these two sides of Paris – the laughable and the horribly real – but meshes the mediums and styles in 'Ecce Homo' (1849-1852). Daumier was opposed to religion, and though this scene is biblical, it is more a general depiction of protest than an outright illustration of the moment Jesus is condemned to crucifixion. It offers a traditional way of demonstrating the easy manipulation of crowds. Though unfinished, its size is exceptional, its movement animated but skeletal.
The editor Pierre Véron commented 'I could never understand how Daumier, so assertive, so revolutionary when holding a pencil could be so shy in everyday life.' Perhaps he made up for a reclusive personality with an inimitable intensity in his art and its message. He refused to pursue more lucrative mediums such as portraiture, landscape and book illustration, but the truth and skill in his work inspired artists from Picasso to Francis Bacon and Quentin Blake. Daumier thrived on his political indignation. His visions of Paris are – whether fantastical or deleteriously real – as truthful and moving a portrait of an era as can be found.
'Daumier: Visions of Paris, 1808-1879' is on at the Royal Academy until 26th January 2014. For more details, visit http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibitions/daumier/.

If the thought of exercising outdoors in winter chills you to the bone or your usual routine has you simply going through the motions, try something new and adventurous like rock climbing. Winter is a great time to check out an indoor climbing gym and thanks to the increasing popularity of the sport there are usually facilities in urban areas.
Most facilities offer a drop-in option where they will teach you the basics of safety and before you know it you'll be scaling the wall like Spiderman. Ok, if you have a fear of heights like I do, you may be clinging to wall that first time out but once you "fall" a time or two and see that you can trust the harness system and your partner on the ground to keep you safe, you will see the fun and sense of accomplishment that this sport offers. It is empowering to face your fears.
The physical benefits of rock climbing are many. "In a nutshell, rock climbing offers a full-body, calorie-burning workout; it's one of the most calorie-burning activities you can choose. Climbing uses pretty much every muscle in the body while challenging your brain to problem solve and coordinate movements. It also incorporates balance and flexibility, making it a great complete workout," says Alli Rainey, Professional Climber, Climbing Coach and Certified Personal Trainer.
Do not let worry about the dangers of climbing stop you from trying the sport. "Climbing can be risky and dangerous, just like driving a car," Rainey says. "The modern equipment is extremely safe if used properly, and the controlled environment of the indoor climbing gym tends to be closely regulated for safety."
Think you need to have Hulk-like strength to climb? Think again. You do not need much upper body strength to begin, but if you continue, the sport will help you develop muscles in that area. Of course you will need to develop your upper body strength if you hope to become an elite level climber. But for us mere mortals, there are great benefits along the way. One particular benefit climbing offers is increased hand and finger strength, two areas that naturally decline as we age.
Your age need not be a barrier. As long as you have no health issues, check out the wall. Rainey's father-in-law started climbing at age 63 and at 72 he still enjoys climbing with her and her husband when he visits. "It can help your self-confidence as you grasp what your amazing human body is capable of. It's never too late to start," says Rainey.
When we learn something new our brain forms new connections. Try climbing together as a family to benefit both body and mind. Even after the novelty passes, climbing is similar to solving a puzzle as you plot your route. Successful and safe climbing requires two people communicating frequently and working together, making it an ideal way to bond with your spouse, friends or children. Those tweens and teens may only grunt at home but on the wall they must communicate with you to ensure a safe and efficient climb. "Partners work together to come up with solutions to difficult sequences of climbing moves," says Rainey.
So use the colder weather as a motivator to take your fitness to a higher level by checking out one of the local climbing walls or gyms. Rainey suggests you enter with a beginner's mind, free of expectations and a positive attitude. " Have a willingness to learn and to fail and try again. That's part of the fun and the challenge. I fall every day I climb and I love it because I try to work out how to do the moves without falling." She says she made it only three feet off the ground her first day. Step into a harness and test yourself on a local wall. Your brain and body will be happy you did.
Sue LeBreton is a health and wellness journalist. She has tried rock climbing several times despite being middle aged and having a great fear of heights. Her tween and teen now climb regularly at a local gym and she's planning to take lessons to help her scale the walls alongside them.

Coffee Grinders
Buy a new coffee grinder or sell your used coffee grinder
The coffee grinder is surely the most important piece among your tools to prepare a good coffee. Everyone knows that to preserve the aromas the coffee has to be ground immediately before preparing. What is not known of many people is the importance of homogeneity of coffee for the extraction and this is achieved only with a very good coffee grinder. The possibility of adjusting the grinding system according to the type of coffee that we are going to prepare is very important for the extraction process. It does not matter if we make coffee at home or in a coffee shop the coffee grinder is very important.
Fortunately lately we are seeing that some manufacturers bring us further innovation to the coffee grinder market. Some coffee grinders bring same programmable settings for dosing and grind by weight functionality not just for the grinding time as it has been so far. In Flavours Place you can not only buy a new coffee grinder but you can sell your used coffee grinder that you no longer use. Buy or sellcoffee grinders online with bitcoin.

We Mistakenly Shared A Breitbart's Article About Paris On Social Media: Here's What Happened Next.
Last saturday (26 Feb 2017), we mistakenly tweeted and posted on Facebook a article about the impact of terror attacks on Tourism in Paris. This tweet/post had a link that didn't come from usual news sources. It came from Breitbart, the notorious far-right American news, opinion and commentary website that was founded in 2008. This news channel is known for notoriously offering provocative and deliberately outrageous commentary that is separate from its news coverage but also written by far-right bloggers and journalists.
Well, to make it short, a far right news site that preaches the complete opposite of the values Expats Paris Stands for.
Expats Paris has become one of the leading expatriate communities in Paris thanks to its humanists, cultural and social values. Our community is built on values of tolerance and togetherness.
By sharing this Breitbart's article, we sounded like we were validating their message and endorsing their extremist ideas of fear and hatred.
So, how did this come to happen? What was going on when these posts went live? What was our reaction? What did we learn from this experience?
Let me break this down into four key points:
1. We were threatened by some followers to unfollow and/or Dislike our Facebook page.
A screenshot of a follower's tweet.
At Expats Paris, we totally believe in social responsibility. We're fully aware of the fact that, as an entity, we have an obligation to act for the benefit of the Parisian expats community and the society at large. We avoid engaging in socially harmful behaviors or performing activities that directly or indirectly harm social cohesion.
By sharing something that comes from a news channel that doesn't share these values, we betrayed our members and followers that share values of peace, love and freedom. No wonder some followers (like in the above-shown screenshot) strongly reacted by threatening to stop following us. And they're totally right. The last thing you want to be associated with is a community that preaches hatred. This is a huge disappointment and we'd like to send our apologies to anyone that felt offended. The second action we took was to delete that post and tweet.
2. We deleted that post a few hours later.
I'm not sure this was the right thing to do but we basically did it to avoid more debate around this issue since we know our values, we stand by them and trying to fix the issue by explaining the reasons why it happened in the first place, may not necessarily be the right strategy.
We know that nothing we put up on Social Media ever goes away on its own.
Our profiles on different platforms have photos and status updates in them from years ago that we don't even remember posting.
While we know that this specific post might de-value our business, we also know that it can put us at risk. We can bet that potential banks or business angels might check us out on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Tumblr before giving us money.
Staunch believers of transparency, we're aware of this.
We know that we have nothing to hide and since anyone can get any information about anyone or anything in this age of technology, there's no need to hide anything.
Transparency is the way to go. We don't have another choice.
So why did we deleted that post?
We acknowledged our mistakes because we believe that perfection is not an easily reachable thing. We've been learning lately that blame, denial and self-pity can all be counterproductive to acknowledgment.
When this happened we analyzed our mistakes and realized that there can't be any excuses from these.
Brainstorming after this error helped us identify key aspects of our failed action and this has created a great opportunity for acknowledgment and learning how careful we need to be about any action we're involved in.
3. A client reached out quickly.
Hi Michael
Just back from Istanbul where I ran events, going through campaigns, I just came across the below on Facebook...
Expats PARIS
22 hrs ·
Paris Tourism Falls 1.5 Million in 2016 after Terror Fears http://buff.ly/2ljSsYcby @NickJHallett via @BreitbartNews
I must concede I am very surprised to see this shared on Expat Paris, where one knows the political views of Breibart....and on the business side, it may really be bad for your network. ...
Kind regards,
This was an email a friend (and client) sent me. I think she did it from her smartphone as soon as she landed from her business trip in Turkey.
Knowing Expats Paris and the values we stand for, she couldn't believe this was coming from our Facebook Page and Twitter account.
Being a business-minded, brand image and communication specialist, she sensed something weird was going on. And indeed there was something totally bad.
I have to thank her for letting me know. I was away in Chantilly visiting a friend and didn't take a look at our social media feeds for two full days (Saturday and Sunday).
Right after I got her email, I reached out to our community manager and we talked about it, trying to find out how this happened and what we had to do about it.
As my friend said, this is dangerous for our brand image.
She reminded me how such foolish acts can ruin - in a nano-second- everything we've been building for years. She's the one that actually advised that we tell exactly what happened.
That's what the next point is all about.
What happened was basically an almost-total trust in social media automation tools.
4. Never Ever Trust Automation tools 100%.

Expats Paris marketing strategy is founded on 5 main pillars: Social Media, Content, Email, Events and Sponsored Ads. Being a small team, we rely a lot on automation to, both create and analyze our content, but also run the business.
We use these apps to interconnect one onto another for maximum performance. Since almost every weekend we're off, we usually rely on automation. And that's what happened when Breitbart's post was shared on our platforms.
This is how it happened: We usually connect Bufferti.me: an extension that searches for the most shared posts on social media - at times from Buzzsumo- automatically schedules them and posts/publishes them - via Buffer - at the at the right moment.
Powerful, isn't it?
I know, we've been using this automation recipe for many years except that, this time, it's the post about "Paris Travel" (as a keyword we usually use for Saturday and Sunday) that got most engagement this weekend but it's the one we'd never share if we had time to schedule it manually.
I know, it's common nowadays to hear stories of Social media account hacking practices. This seems to be like a general online technical issue that everyone with a presence on social media has to face at some point or another.
However, ordinary people like me or a small business like Expats Paris are hardly targeted by hackers on Social Media because - let's be honest - there really is nothing to see - or to say it differently - we have little or nothing to lose.
Our website was hacked in 2016 and we wrote about it. We know what hacking is and the harm it can cause to a small business.
If I said that our Twitter and Facebook accounts were hacked to post a Breitbart's link, that'd be a huge lie and wouldn't help in any way.
The mistake we made here was to trust automation tools 100% to post (on our behalf) about twenty posts and tweets on Facebook and Twitter for two full days without any error. We basically let the machines do our work for two full days without checking what was going on!
While we're enthusiastic about automation, robotics and every other innovative tool that help humans to outperform, this has taught us a lesson: At this age, only Humans can think rationally because they know and understand the values they stand for.
5. Lesson learned.
Like our above-mentioned members and followers, very few people will wonder why, all of a sudden, why your accounts start sharing something different from the values you've always promoted. Few of them will want to understand the reasons behind such errors. Many will jump on to conclusions and call you names because - and they might be right - they feel betrayed or don't just want to associate with any brand that spreads hatred.
While social media accounts get hacked, smartphones or passwords get stolen (not in our case here - again, we use a password manager for that), over-using automation tools may cause a brand's human identity loss.
This experience has taught us how important it is to be extremely careful about the posts we share, the tools we use, values we stand for and align with, avoid any argument, but accept an error or mistake whenever there's one.
This post is about the error we made over the weekend. We apologize to our members, followers and any person that got offended.
We promise to work hard and improve so that such mistakes don't happen again.

It wasn't too long ago that Winthrop High School boys basketball coach Todd MacArthur played for Mike McGee at Lawrence. A point guard known for his defensive ability, MacArthur learned a lot under McGee.
"One of the biggest things was his passion for the game," MacArthur said. "He loved trying to push kids to get the max out of them."
Since coming to Winthrop two years ago, MacArthur has followed McGee's example, and like his mentor, he built his team around defense. The Ramblers pressed man-to-man full-court most of every game and won many of their games by forcing turnovers.
"Defense is really important to him and the team," point guard Taylor Morang said. "Defense leads to offense."
Morang was one of four sophomores who started this season for the Ramblers who challenged nearly every opponent they faced in the Mountain Valley conference. They finished at 11-7 and were eliminated from the Western Maine Class C tournament in a prelim loss to Monmouth. for his efforts, MacArthur has been selected as the Kennebec Journal Boys Basketball coach of the Year. Gardiner's Jason Cassidy was also considered.
After going 3-15 in his first season at Winthrop, MacArthur has built the Ramblers into a contender.
"I was extremely pleased with the effort and growth we showed as a team," he said. "We've stressed we want to get back to the tradition of Winthrop basketball. I think this year was a big step in the right direction."
MacArthur has immersed himself and his players in youth basketball at Winthrop and is aware of what's going on at every level.
"This was a big year in third and fourth grade," he said. "We were able to have two travel teams. We have to get those young kids interested in basketball."
MacArthur, who teaches at the school, calls coaching a year-round job.
"I'm working right now on the summer and preparation for next year," he said. "You've got to have an understanding wife."
MacArthur focused much of his practice time on defense. He said the focus this summer will be on offense and skill development.
The Ramblers return nine players and have a strong eighth grade group coming in.
"We're definitely going in the right direction," Morang said.

I'm setting up phpMyAdmin over SSL (HTTPS) and also SSL connections to database servers.
I've configured Nginx with SSL certificates. I've commented out the version check on phpMyAdmin as it was connecting via HTTP and breaking secure connection.
All database servers are SSL enabled:
Variable_name Value
have_openssl YES
have_ssl YES
ssl_ca /etc/mysql/ca-cert.pem
ssl_cert /etc/mysql/server-cert.pem
ssl_key /etc/mysql/server-key.pem
I've added the directive
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl'] = TRUE; to phpMyAdmin config file but I haven't specified paths to certs/keys, values:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['ca'] = '/etc/ssl/certs/ca-cert.pem';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['cert'] = '/etc/mysql/client-cert.pem';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['key'] = '/etc/mysql/client-key.pem';
- however it looks like I'm using SSL connections between web server and database servers:
Could you please help me to understand how this works without certificates on the webserver and if I'm actually using encrypted connection to db servers? Is it possible that it's cached somewhere as I've enabled these directives for a moment?
I've also noticed strange behaviour:
When I logged in to PMA I see the following URL:
- when I remove the long string and access the FQDN only (example.com) by pressing enter, the server logged me off however when I add some random string (example.com/sdfsfefse) - enter, I'm logged in without specifying password. Is it something to do with cookies?
Thank you

Home of the world's oldest rainforest, tropical North Queensland's Daintree National Park is a living remnant of prehistoric times with rare flora and fauna found nowhere else on the planet. The stunningly beautiful coastal lowland rainforest covers an area of around 8,900 hectares and is situated in the Wet Tropics UNESCO World Heritage site around 45km drive south of Port Douglas.
The biodiverse lush environment of the Daintree traverses eucalypt woodlands, swamps and mangroves and tropical rainforest canopies and a plethora of indigenous fauna. You can spy rare tree kangaroos, endangered quolls, and the Daintree River ring-tailed possum, which is only found around Thornton Peak and the upper areas of the Mossman and Daintree Rivers. Elsewhere you might see some of the hundreds of bird species that reside in the Daintree including the flightless southern cassowary, colourful kingfishers, scrubtails, bowerbirds and much more. The Daintree is also the traditional land of the Eastern Kuku Yalanji Aboriginal tribe and contains several sacred sites including Thornton Peak, Mount Demi, The Bluff and Cape Tribulation. Indigenous-led guided tours can enlighten visitors about the medicinal plants and bush tucker, culture, history and folklore of the area.
For the most pleasant experience in the tropics, the best time to visit the Daintree is the dry season (May to October) however the wet season, from November to April, is also beautiful with lush flowering vegetation. The north and south banks of the Daintree River are linked by the Daintree Ferry - the only cable ferry in tropical Australia, and the best way to get around the area is by car or you can also hire bicycles.
To visit the Daintree from Port Douglas (a one-hour drive), follow the Captain Cook Highway/State Route 44 onto Mossman-Daintree Road. Turn right onto Cape Tribulation Road and take the Daintree Ferry to cross the Daintree River to Forest Creek - AU$23 for cars for a return trip. Continue straight to stay on Cape Tribulation Road.

Dear Kent Pete
My husband accesses porn sites when I am not in the house. I haven't told him I know about it, as I'm sure he would be angry that I was 'spying' on him. He always deletes the sites he accesses from the history section, but doesn't realise that there are other ways of seeing what he's been downloading.
Whenever he gets in before me he usually lies about the time he's got home and when I check, he's been on these sites. It is difficult to sit down to dinner with a man who only an hour earlier has been searching www.mywifedoesblack.com. We had toad in the hole yesterday evening and I caught him looking at me in a very strange way every time I put the sausage near my mouth. It put me right off and I ended up doing myself some cheese on toast.
I'd just like to know if this is something that all men do. Because he's not often in the house on his own, he's not able to do it on a very regular basis, but I still hate the fact that he does. I feel I've lost respect for him and it's spoiling our relationship. I'm probably feeling jealous that he's looking at much younger women. I'm in my mid 50s and recently lost a leg in an industrial accident, but I have generally kept myself slim and take care with my appearance. However all the women he looks at appear to have two legs. It is all very upsetting. Please help, I am in despair.
Elaine 49, Middlesbrough
Kent Pete says:
First of all I would like to congratulate you on your bravery. To lose a leg and be faced with a husband that is so obviously sexually aroused by bipeds must be very difficult. If he is indeed downloading hard core pornography the insensitivity he has shown is inexcusable. This probably is not what you want to hear but it might be time to move on without your husband Elaine.
You ask a question many women, including my dear wife, ask. Do all men download pornography?. I obviously cannot answer for all men. I can say however that sometimes women can jump to conclusions. Only last week Mrs Pete believed she had discovered me looking at a picture of a suspender clad Fern Britton. What I can assure you is that the internet will often 'pop up' sexualised images in an attempt to entice less disciplined men onto X-rated websites. However this does not mean that the man is accessing those sites.
I am interested that you say your husband deletes his history but that 'there are other ways of seeing what he's been downloading'. Are you sure about this?. Do you work in IT?. I always assumed if you deleted the temporary files and cookies then all trace of your internet history was erased from the P.C. I would be very interested in how you are finding the sites your husband has accessed and wonder if you could forward this information to me as soon as is humanly possible.
My advice to you is talk to your husband about your concerns. You obviously cannot live in an environment where even the eating of a sausage is a source of tension. This needs to be addressed immediately so email me that information on accessing internet history and speak to your husband at the first available opportunity.
