From tat to taste: selling Irish culture
Visiting Ireland used to mean kissing the Blarney stone. A new focus could help to attract well-heeled tourists

For a country that prides itself on its artistic heritage, Ireland hasn't always proved a bounteous cultural destination. Not so long ago, the essential cultural stops on the average tourist itinerary were as predictable as they were few: kiss the Blarney stone, glance at a Celtic cross, maybe hear a fiddle in the background at a pub and buy chunky Aran jumpers and shillelaghs as souvenirs. One has only to look at tourism posters from the 1950s and 1960s to glean that the verdant landscape and the simple but friendly people who supposedly inhabited it were the country's selling points. Culture, much less the arts, barely figured.
But the past is a foreign country: we do things differently now. Culture has become one of the main planks of Ireland's tourism strategy, with potential visitors baited by the vibrancy and uniqueness of our heritage. Sightseers and culture seekers, to use the industry jargon, are arguably the most coveted of overseas guests: well educated and well heeled, they spend more time and money exploring and experiencing the arts, architecture and history of a host country than other tourists, and so are carefully targeted.
Just how important this group has become was emphasised at Dublin Castle last month, at an event called Culture And Heritage Tourism: An Emerging Economic Engine? The conference, which was organised by Fáilte Ireland as part of the Irish presidency of the EU, underlined how integral this kind of tourism is to the hospitality industry. But unresolved questions and even tensions surround heritage-driven travel, particularly from the point of view of the cultural sector.
As well as the obvious question of how to measure the effectiveness of cultural tourism, there are problems with two antithetical spheres becoming increasingly interdependent. Can the airily aesthetic ethos of the cultural world coexist comfortably with the hard commercial demands of the tourist industry?
"There's an idea that the arts and commerce must be inimical, that they must be at each other's throats," says Aidan Pender, the director of strategic development at Fáilte Ireland. "But it's a false dichotomy."
Certainly, judging by Fáilte Ireland's headline figures, cultural tourism is a thriving sector. Of the 2.8 million overseas visitors to Ireland last year, 64 per cent said the country's culture and history were important factors in choosing it as a destination, and nearly three-quarters said they were very satisfied with their experience of Irish heritage. Meanwhile, international travellers who engaged in cultural activities in 2011 are estimated to have spent €2.8 billion. On the face of it, culture and tourism are natural bedfellows.
"From a tourist point of view, they fit very well," says Dr Bernadette Quinn of Dublin Institute of Technology, a coauthor of a recent Fáilte Ireland report on collaboration between the sectors in the west. "In an era of experiential tourism, we're all looking to connect with a place, whether by talking to people or experiencing their culture. Whether the suppliers and policymakers fit together is a more complex matter."
Divergent priorities
Beneath the dazzling statistics lie divergent priorities and world views, not to mention differences in vocabulary. The very term "culture" is elastic. In tourism, it is taken to encompass everything from monuments and architecture to music, literature and folklore; it can even mean, according to Redmond O'Donoghue, the chairman of Fáilte Ireland, "our capacity for conversation and friendship", as he said at the conference.
Activities defined as "cultural" in the figures include visits to houses or castles, gardens and interpretative centres, all of which might also be seen as traditional holiday pastimes. At times, the difference between cultural tourists and their more conventional cousins simply seems a matter of definition.
Even when it comes to activities that are more obviously artistic, there are huge variations. Museums and art galleries claim a huge slice of the cultural-tourism pie, attracting almost two million international vacationers in 2011. These figures dwarf the numbers of any similar area – festivals, another key activity, attracted 500,000 visitors in the same year – but the sector has always been well marketed, so that it is hard to see it attracting a fresh tranche of holidaymakers from abroad. "Museums are well established, and are a wonderful channel for visitors," says Pender. "Our problem is how to support similar encounters with more intangible areas, such as literature."
Ireland's literary heritage is often seen as the jewel in its cultural crown, at least in terms of international reputation, but the dilemma of transforming this into palpable attractions for tourists is symptomatic of wider challenges. On one level, the problem is a familiar one. "Dublin is a city teeming with fantastic literature," says the arts producer and programmer Maureen Kennelly, the curator of the Mountains to Sea literary festival, "but to try and capture that and make an experience of it needs serious investment."
One possible solution, Kennelly suggests, is a hub, encompassing libraries, bookshops, exhibitions and performance spaces, which would have enough critical mass to attract large numbers of likeminded visitors. But even if the funds were available, trying to convey, through bricks and mortar, the deeply personal experience of reading a book is tricky: in 2011, Minister for Arts Jimmy Deenihan proposed that the Bank of Ireland building on College Green in Dublin be turned into such a site, to lukewarm reaction. Similarly, other disciplines lack a visible focus for tourists: Dublin's theatres have no hub, for example.
When it comes to artistic activities luring potential visitors, the festival sector has been the main focus of attention in recent years. According to Kennelly, arts festivals such as those in Galway and Kilkenny, as well as Dublin Theatre Festival and Dublin Fringe Festival, are seen as "serious outfits with much to offer tourists". Largely ignored by tourist authorities in the 1980s and 1990s, such events are now seen as playing a vital role in heritage tourism, receiving tourism funding accordingly, with the rebranding of the St Patrick's Day parade as a festival signalling the change in emphasis.
While Kennelly says arts-events organisers were initially uneasy bedfellows with the tourist industry, they "now see how the hospitality sector can help festivals", whether by tailoring operations and opening hours around festival events or by facilitating artists.
But prioritising festivals is not without problems. According to Bernadette Quinn, the approach can be a "bone of contention" for those in other arts sectors, who believe that funding such visible annual events comes at the expense of less spectacular year-round programming.
And for all their quality, Irish festivals have yet to attain the huge overseas tourist appeal of, say, Edinburgh. "If Irish festivals could cut through internationally, so that large numbers of people would make the trip especially, that would be great," says Pender.
Not all initiatives are welcomed with open arms. Many in the arts sector view the Gathering warily, partly because it trades in somewhat cliched stereotypes of a folksy Ireland and partly because it is perceived as being geared toward social occasions rather than creative events. But it is not without potential, according to the arts programmer and marketing consultant Aoife Flynn. "It actually seems like it could be an interesting way of disseminating funding to smaller arts organisations," she says. "It's tricky only when it becomes a pastiche of who we are."
In all these equations, there is a bias towards international holidaymakers over Irish ones, whom tourism bodies assume to be aware of arts events and heritage sites. "Any cultural entity will attract domestic visitors, but from a tourism-policy point of view, attracting the new money of overseas visitors is the aim," says Quinn.
In the burgeoning relationship between culture and tourism, both sectors seem happy with that. But even this approach has been threatened by a lack of cohesive thinking: the mooted abolition of Culture Ireland, which promotes Irish arts abroad, is a prime example of shortsighted neglect of the wider appeal of our culture.
Other faultlines linger. "There is a fear that tourism can dilute," says Quinn. "There's considerable international research [to show] tourism can promote change that's undesirable from an aesthetic perspective, that it commodifies culture."
However, those working on the ground seem unworried by such a prospect. "Anyone who's making work doesn't need to change the work for it to appeal to tourists," says Flynn. "The creative spark is the starting point. As long as they continue to make their work, it's about mediating it for the visitor, so they can access it."
Theme park
The real challenge, it seems, is how to alert large numbers of discerning tourists to the singular qualities of Irish culture without turning the country into a theme park. "If you try to overmanufacture the experience it can take away the authenticity," says Pender. In this light, Irish cultural tourism is a work in progress, but there are heartening omens.
. The designation of Dublin as a Unesco city of literature offers the scope to coalesce the elusive literary tradition under an easily accessible banner, even if concrete projects remain thin on the ground.
The success of Wexford Festival Opera in carving out a prestigious and distinctive niche for international audiences likewise shows how small scale and adept thinking can yield satisfying artistic and tourism results. And last August's Merrion Square Open Day, a Fáilte Ireland initiative that gave people access to buildings in Dublin's famed Georgian core, was a tentative first step in opening up the capital's architectural heritage in the manner of Edinburgh.
Much more imaginative thinking may be needed for cultural tourism to reach its full potential, but such developments are an encouraging start.
Above all, our culture needs to stay true to itself. "Distinctiveness is hard to come by, but what we have that is unique to us is our Irishness," says Flynn. "Culture, for me, is an expression of who we are and what we do, so anyone who is expressing that is important for travellers looking to get an authentic experience, be they artists, writers, musicians, actors, even chefs. Having confidence in who we are is enough."
Visiting Blarney Castle, attending trad sessions and buying shillelaghs might not be such a bad cultural-tourism experience after all.
Cultural Quarters: What Kilkenny and Waterford cities have done to attract more visitors
Ever since Temple Bar was transformed from decaying inner-city site to tourist cash cow, marketing an urban area as a cultural hot spot has been a perilous undertaking.
Certainly, the Celtic Tiger-era Temple Bar of tacky bars and marauding stag parties was a long way from the low-rent bohemian ambience that originally attracted State funding for development.
But recent efforts by the cities of Waterford and Kilkenny to create cultural quarters are rooted in the historical and creative legacies.
"Waterford is a good example of a city that had to reimagine itself, after the closure of the crystal factory," says Aidan Pender of Fáilte Ireland. "They looked at their Viking and medieval heritage, thought of clustering them together, and made the Viking Triangle." The result aims to pull together architecture, history and culture to create a distinctive atmosphere.
Similarly, Kilkenny's Medieval Mile, which runs from Kilkenny Castle to St Canice's Cathedral, trades on the city's storied past while complementing its reputation as a design and craft centre. Such heritage-themed projects have their own issues, as Pender concedes. "All the time we come back to assess how we tell the story and interpret the place. Can we animate it with guides and street performers? "That's tricky, as there's not much money to be made in that."
But so far both sites have avoided the garish fate of Temple Bar. Maybe culture and commerce can coexist.

I am probably one of the biggest fans of men wearing stripes. Stripes are one of the timeless elements of mens fashion clothing. They are a great choice if you want to show your style but worry about being too bold. Whether you are going to have a business meeting or heading to a barbecue party, strips will make you look attractive if you can pull them off. There is some advice on wearing stripes to make you look better.
Vertical VS horizontal
It is a FAQ when picking stripes. Should you choose vertical or horizontal strips? Well. Though many people would suggest choosing the vertical, in my opinion, this depends on your body type. For shorter men, vertical stripes may be a better option because it will make you look taller visually. If you are thin, choose the horizontal strips so you'll appear wider. A horizontal striped shirt is easier to pull off than the vertical in formal occasions. Keep in mind that this is just an advice. What type of stripes that suit you the best is your choice.
Go thin
After choosing the direction, now you need to take the weight of stripes into consideration. A rule of thumb is choosing the thin ones. Thin stripes will look more stylish whether they are vertical or horizontal. Personally I prefer stripes that are no wider than one inch in width. Thinner stripes are more suitable for formal occasions.
Avoid certain color combinations
I am not telling which color you should choose since this varies from your skin tone. However, there are certain color combinations you should avoid to look smart. Try to avoid colors that are opposite to one another. I am not saying you can't wear these contrasting colors. If you want to stand out, go for it. But if you are looking for less garish clothing, try to avoid them.
Try other striped clothing
When it comes to stripes, we may think of striped shirts. Actually, you can go for many other options like pinstripe pants or striped T-shirts. If you are choosing pinstripe pants, keep your top plain. Too much stripes may create visual confusion.

Leptopteris superba < Species index > Leucogenes leontopodium
This article was first published in the Tararua Tramper Volume 85, # 2, March 2013, page 7
March in the hills with Barbara Mitcalfe and Chris Horne
Mānuka, Leptospermum scoparium
Lepto = thin; spermum = seed; scoparium = like a domestic broom
Did you notice as you tramped along the Ridge Track in East Harbour Regional Park soon after leaving the top of Wainuiomata Hill Road the variety of species of young, broadleaved trees, including five-finger and māhoe, flourishing under the canopy of the mānuka shrubland? This community of young trees, ferns, climbers etc, is a fine example of the role that mānuka, a pioneering species, plays in the regeneration of native forest on land that has been cleared by fire, by accident, or for farming.
Have you noticed the forest of very large, historic, kānuka in Wellington Botanic Garden, below the Met Office building? This is an outstanding feature of the five areas of native forest in the garden.
Mānuka is a shrub or tree, growing to 10 m tall. A NZ native, it occurs from lowland to sub-alpine areas in dry or swampy sites in the North, South, Stewart and Chatham islands. It also occurs in Australia.
Mānuka, Leptospermum scoparium; Kānuka, Kunzea robusta
Kunzea = named after Gustav Kunz; ericoides = resembling heath (Erica)
Kānuka is a shrub or tree growing up to 30 m. A NZ endemic, it occurs in well-drained, lowland to montane areas on the Three Kings, and in the North and South islands. It often colonises land recovering after a fire, and, like mānuka, plays a role in the natural recovery of disturbed sites towards eventual forest. It can grow for over a century, but cannot regenerate in its own shade, so is eventually over-topped and replaced by other tree-species.
Since the article was originally publised the name of kanuka has changed. What was called Kunzea ericoides in the article is now Kunzea robusta. Kunzea robusta is the largest and most widespread of the 10 kanuka species and is the only species found in the Wellington region away from sandy coastal areas. Kunzea ericoides is now known to be restricted to the northwest South Island.
Use the table below to help distinguish mānuka from kānuka:
|Leptospermum scoparium
|Kunzea robusta
|Part of plant
|Trunk diameter
|up to c. 15 cm
|60 cm or more
|Foliage (grasp it firmly)
|not prickly
|Flowers; diameter
|single; c. 10 mm
|in clusters; 4 � 6 mm
|Seed capsules
|c. 6 mm diameter; hard, woody; persist
|2 � 4 mm diameter; not woody; fall off early
|Capsule lids
|released in high temperatures
|in same season as flowering
Mānuka is smaller than kānuka, and has larger flowers and larger seed capsules than kānuka.
TTC trampers will have noticed that mānuka's strong, hard-wood, rot-resistant branches are often laid as �corduroy� on many a mucky track.
Mānuka was used by Māori for waka decking, fish hooks, fishing rods, traps for eels and other fish, garden tools, spears, clubs, and long poles, called huata used to thrust through the palisades of enemy pā. An infusion of pounded and boiled mānuka and kōwhai bark was applied to the back to ease pain. Mānuka's white gum was also used as an emollient for burns and scalds.
Captain Cook�s crew used the leaves of mānuka to make a spicy tea. In the early days of settlement in Otago, men smoked mānuka bark mixed with tea leaves, as a substitute for tobacco. Mānuka honey, which is collected from mānuka and kānuka, is dark-coloured and strongly-flavoured, however it needs to be remembered that not all varieties of mānuka have the well-known medicinal properties for which consumers are sometimes charged a premium. Kānuka wood is very hard, so has often been used for tool handles and wharf piles. Kānuka gum mixed with oil from tītoki, was used as a perfume.
Both species have been used for firewood that produces great heat, and for fence posts. Kākāriki / parakeets use the leaves and bark of both species to rid themselves of parasites.

Two weeks ago, the Golden Globes kicked off what may be the most politically charged awards season in Hollywood history, playing out against the backdrop of Donald Trump's inauguration. Meryl Streep's glorious, devastating speech against Trump drew a groundswell of support across the industry, along with plenty of ire, not least (predictably) from the president-elect himself.
While it should be no surprise to anyone that Hollywood is overwhelmingly liberal, progressive, and anti-Trump, moments like this are a double-edged sword for the producers behind awards shows. A speech like Streep's can draw more attention and publicity to the awards, but also risks alienating a huge segment of the audience. But Michael De Luca, producer of this year's Oscars ceremony, is all for it.
"These forums are rare," De Luca told The Hollywood Reporter. "Spontaneity helps all these shows. The Globes were dull. One or two of these moments made the show spontaneous. I don't like this attitude that just because someone's a celebrity, their right of free speech is taken away." Amen to that.
"If you're watching the Oscars, you're not going to turn off the TV because there's a political speech," added Joe Roth, producer of the 2004 Oscars. "At most, you're annoyed by it. If they don't turn the TV off at some of those eight-minute [montages] that go on and on and have nothing to do with the moment, they're not going to turn off a speech about politics."
The 2017 Oscar nominations will be announced on Tuesday, January 24.

São Paulo's law enforcement has once again threatened the freedom of information in Brazil. In these trying times, not only is the tight budget the concern of scientists and researchers alike, but the police agency is giving them problems that result in putting science on the shelves.
Just recently, a police probe sparked discussion and protest from the citizens and scientists of Brazil. The investigation specifically targeted a widely known scientist in Brazil- Elisaldo Carlini.
Carlini is a former teacher of psychopharmacology at the Federal University of São Paulo or the Unifesp. On February 21, he was questioned by the authorities on the grounds of inciting drug-related crime. As of today, the police agency is still continuing the probe while Carlini is not charged with anything yet.
São Paulo's state public prosecutor, Rosemary Porcelli da Silva, was the one who opened the case of Elisaldo Calini. According to the document that da Silva currently has in possession, she saw "in theory, strong hints of incitement" in one of the cannabis symposiums Carlini organized last year.
Unlike some states in the U.S., marijuana is still illegal in Brazil. This includes the use, production, and distribution of the substance.
In Carlini's symposium last May, one of the supposed visiting speakers was the head of the Rastafari church. The church leader is still serving jail time on drug trafficking charges, because of this, he was not able to participate in the said symposium. When asked about this issue, Rosemary da Silva refused to say anything.
At 87 years old, Elisaldo Carlini was one of the sphere heads of the research on medical marijuana. He has started his drug research in the 1950s and has produced a number of seminal papers on the anti-convulsive attributes of cannabinoids.
A man named Raphael Mechoulam, one of the researchers in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem located in Israel, also researched on medical marijuana. Mechoulam's laboratory was the first to isolate marijuana's hallucinogenic compound, THC, in 1964, noted that "Carlini is an outstanding scientist".
"Nearly 40 years ago, his group and my group did the first clinical experiment with cannabidiol, a major cannabis compound, on epileptic patients," according to Mechoulam. It was a treatment that resulted in a medicine that is used by people with epilepsy today.
Carlini protested that what has occurred in the symposium last year was not about inciting people to use marijuana. "In more than 60 years of an academic career, I had never been questioned by law agents — until last month," says Carlini. "It's a Kafkian situation. I wonder what they think an old man can do with marijuana".
Students and staff of Unifesp arranged a protest and gathered on campus to show their support for Carlini and rallied against what they saw as an attack not only to Carlini but also to the institution that he belonged to.
The following day, support was pouring and more than 50 scientific societies had signed the petition supporting the scientist.
The Brazilian Society for Advancement of Science (SBPC) also organized a petition in defense of Carlini. And within 24 hours, more than 28,000 signatures were collected.
One of the supporters of this call was Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former president of Brazil. He called the investigation on Carlini as "an unacceptable coercion".
What happened, according to SBPC President Ildeu Moreira was a delay and a threat to the academic freedom in Brazil especially during this time of severe challenges and declines in the government's funding.
It is clear that studying cannabis is not illegal in Brazil but current policies make it hard for researchers to move forward with their studies. Cultivation of marijuana is not allowed and scientists are required to acquire government permits for whatever experiments that include the drug or its components which could slow down their work in Brazil.
However, Anvisa, Brazil's food and drug regulatory department is still discussing if they were to allow marijuana cultivation as long as it's for research purposes.
Other scientists hope that this incident will be an eye-opener for the government regarding the hardships that researchers face in Brazil when studying medical marijuana.
A neuroscientist from the same institution where Carlini came from is currently conducting a study whether cannabis can help people with alcoholism.
According to him, his experiments were progressive and are showing positive results. But because of the strict regulation of the plant in Brazil, his studies have experienced a delay.
"I have fought for decades to show that marijuana is a serious plant," says Carlini. "Dozens of countries have already regulated medical marijuana. The current legislation is a shame to Brazilian science and to Brazil".
Researchers are alarmed for their academic freedom as potential restrictions may arise because of this issue.

Suntech supplies largest Philippines rooftop solar project
Suntech Power has supplied the Asian Development Bank (ADB) headquarters in Manila with a 571kW rooftop solar installation, the largest such project in the Philippines.
The solar system, comprising 2,040 photovoltaic panels, will generate more than 600MWh of electricity annually and offset 307 tons of carbon dioxide per year according to Suntech Power.
Considering that the Philippines has some of the highest retail electricity tariffs in Asia at approximately $0.18/kWh, solar technology is providing cost-effective energy solutions for customers throughout the country.
Aside from its headquarters project, ADB is supporting solar energy development through its Asia Solar Energy Initiative. Launched in May 2010, the initiative aims to develop and generate 3,000MW of solar power in Asia and the Pacific region within three years.

Essay by Charlotte Manvell
In Honor of National 4-H Week
When I was nine years old, I remember sitting among the members of my 4-H club as the president discussed various programs, everything from field trips to educational contests, and little did I know, all of these opportunities would transform me into an independent and confident 18 year old. I cannot tell you where I would be without 4-H, it has given me the confidence to stand in front of carded American Quarter Horse Association judges to give reasons, buzz in a split second before my opponent to score points at multiple national level horse bowl contests, as well as stand in front of three judges at Southern Regional Horse Championships, and give a team presentation that won first. Through these many levels of competition I have regularly wondered, "Where I would be without 4-H, would I have the confidence to give a presentation to a crowded room? Would I have the knowledge to expertly describe a class of horses I evaluated hours ago?" And repeatedly the answer is no. Without 4-H and horses I would be unsure of what I wish to pursue as I open this new chapter in my life, and while I have a passion for many topics like calculus and chemistry, none of them compare to the passion I have for animals and animal healthcare. However 4-H has not only helped me determine what I wish to pursue, but has also equipped me with important skills such as public speaking and being comfortable working with people of all ages and backgrounds, as well as those more specific to the veterinary field such as how to handle and care for animals from birth to old age.
Over the past few months I have had the opportunity to work at a local veterinarian's office. While many high schoolers express interest in veterinary medicine, rarely do they express a love for the messy and sometimes disgusting side of animal care. From completing over 12 hours worth of equine fecal egg counts to observing a three hour long tumor removal surgery I have found that my favorite words are now "Hey Charlotte, wanna see something gross?". I credit 4-H with teaching me that animal husbandry does not stop at the tasks you enjoy completing, but is more often filled with those that may be less appetizing, but are to me more rewarding. Through these experiences of working with everything from geese to ferrets to miniature donkeys, I have decided to pursue a career in veterinary medicine where I hope to be able to improve the care of the animals in my community.
4-H has also helped me connect to mentors within my area of interest, veterinary parasitology. Through a 4-H equine youth program associate I was introduced to Dr. Martin Nielsen, an equine parasitologist and professor at the University of Kentucky who is seeking to develop new technologies to prevent the spread of parasitic disease within horses while also educate the general horse owning population on how they can better improve their parasite control. Through this connection I was given the opportunity to write a paper based on my own research as well as present that research at the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists(AAVP) annual conference. In attending college and veterinary school, I hope to continue performing research in these fields in order to prevent parasitic disease within both companion animals and livestock.
Through my years in 4-H I have benefitted from the dedication of many volunteers, extension agents, parents, and 4-H club members, I have experienced what a powerful impact these individuals can have on a young 4-Her's life and I hope to be able to influence others to not only pursue horses as a hobby or career, but also give back to their community through service projects and volunteering. In the past few years, after becoming a senior in 4-H, I have had the opportunity to give back to 4-H by volunteering at programs such as the 4-H Horse Camp in Front Royal where junior 4-Hers have the opportunity to receive instruction in horsemanship and riding. I have also been able to organize programs within my club in order to help various nonprofits within the community, including collecting food for animal rescues. The backbone of a successful 4-H club is dedicated volunteers and I hope that someday I will be able to be an adult volunteer for a 4-H club so that I can use the knowledge I have gained through higher education and my 4-H experience so that young individuals can continue to enjoy all that the 4-H program has to offer.
This past year I have been given the opportunity to volunteer at various 4-H educational events doing everything from reading horse bowl questions to taking reasons and these experiences have further cemented my desire to pursue a more permanent volunteer position within 4-H. I love helping "to make the best better" by encouraging people to keep going when they stumble in their reasons, or to buzz in to answer a question in horse bowl. While I may be away at college for the next few years and unable to be a leader, I know that my involvement at educational events will still help impact and inspire other 4-Hers.

Kangaroo Dukkah encrusted fillet with caramelized onion & mushroom tart tatin, citrus & rocket salad and balsamic glaze (gf)
Kangaroo Dukkah encrusted fillet with caramelized onion & mushroom tart tatin, citrus & rocket salad and balsamic glaze (gf)
Serves 4
4 Kangaroo fillets
2 tablespoons Sichuan peppers and salt
Olive oil
1 packet puff pastry
1 packet shitake mushrooms, sliced
50g butter
2 brown onions, sliced
¼ cup Caster sugar
White wine vinegar
Dijon mustard
150g rocket, picked
1 orange, segmented
1 lime, segmented
1 lemon, segmented
Toasted macadamia nuts
1 bottle Balsamic glaze
Dukkah: (makes bulk)
250g Sesame seeds
250g Macadamia nuts
250g Pistachio nuts
250g Cashew nuts
1 tbsp. black peppercorns
1 tbsp. lemon pepper
1 tbsp. cumin seeds
1 tbsp. coriander seeds
1 tbsp. sea salt flakes
In a mortar and pestle combine the Sichuan pepper and salt and then rub over the kangaroo fillets. Leave out on bench to bring to room temperature. Sear in a pan and cook in oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 6 minutes. Remove and cover in foil and allow resting for 5 minutes.
To make the dukkah combine all the nuts into a roasting tray and cook at 180 degrees Celsius until golden brown. Add remaining ingredients and blitz in a food processor.
(This recipe makes a large amount but stores in an air tight container for up to 3 months, and is also great to dip toasted bread in as a starter)
Salad dressing:
Whisk together 1 tsp of Dijon mustard and 50ml of white wine vinegar; slowly add 200ml of olive oil to create your dressing.
Mushroom tart tatin:
Sauté the onions in a little olive oil until transparent. Add castor sugar and cook into a caramel. Add a dash of white wine vinegar and remove from heat. In a separate frying pan melt butter and toss through the mushrooms. In a small tart tin rub olive oil around the sides to prevent sticking. This also makes the tart easier to flip out. Add ¼ of the mushrooms, then a ¼ of the onion on top. Cut a piece of puff pastry to place over the top. Do the same for the remaining 3 tart tatins. Cook in oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 12 minutes or until golden brown on top.
To serve:
Brush the rested kangaroo fillets with Dijon mustard and then roll in the dukkah mix. Slice. Toss the rocket and the segmented citrus fruit together with the toasted macadamia nuts and salad dressing. Place off to the side of the plate. Flip out the mushroom tart tatin and place the sliced kangaroo fillet on top. Drizzle a little balsamic glaze around the plate and serve.

- Example: Currently, in the drchrono system the adjustment reason code "45" will write off the balance, however, if the provider wants to transfer the balance to the patient or to remain under insurance balance, they can set the rule as per their requirement.
Follow these instructions below:
1. Hover over the "Billing" tab and select "Adjustment Master":
2. Please click on "+Add New" to set an adjustment rule.
3. This screen will allow you to select the Adjustment code, Group Code, CPT/HCPCS/Custom code, Payer and the Action to be taken as per the requirements. You can also leave the "Code Type" field blank if it is not for a specific code.
Once the rule is created, the "Action" will be taken automatically when the providers receive an ERA. For manual posting, the changes will reflect once the appointment is saved.

Octopus and an Odd Ode
In it's raw state I love Octopus, the first time I tasted it was on one of our many holidays in Turkey. I know, in it's raw state it is most unattractive, but when it's prepared and cooked, it is most delicious. Octopus surpasses most other seafood delicacies, (that is, in my humble opinion)!

Fun and creative post for O ~ReplyDelete
Happy Week to you.

Fun post, I have only tried octopus Spanish styleReplyDelete
O is for oysters
Di, this made me smile - especially the odd ode, so amusing!ReplyDelete
Seafood is my favorite type of food, especially when I am traveling. I had some wonderful octopus while in Barcelona. I only ate fish in Turkey, never tried octopus - I must return and try some!

I saw a freshly caught octopus in the coastal fishing village recently. I did not know it made a tasty curry.ReplyDelete

As I've fallen a bit behind in replying, which I usually do individually, please forgive me for replying to several at a time.
Hi Susan, glad you liked the 'Odd Ode' and that you have enjoyed some Octopus in Spain. I've been to Spain several times but have never tried octopus there. D.x
Reader Wil: Thank you too for your kind comments, D.x

Octopus is delicious in curry, it has to be prepared and cooked in advance then cut into sizeable pieces then cooked in the herbs and spices to make your particular curry. Di.x
You must try octopus if you can it's truly delicious.
Glad you got to read the complete ode, it never fails to make me smile, I used to read it to my 'girls', when they were small. Now they read it to their children.
If you like seafood you must try it not unlike squid but tastier.
Than you all again for your comments they are most appreciated,
Di. Abcw team, x
I just don't think I could eat octopus. There are some foods I can't get past my brain!ReplyDelete
I can understand that, it isn't such a pretty sight in it's natural form but it totally changes when cooked.
I can't eat sweetbread or brains for the same reason yet I like calves liver?
Thanks for your comments,
Best wishes,
Di x
Very pretty beach scene!ReplyDelete
I've never eaten octopus. It is not available here, so I don't really know if, given the opportunity, I would take a taste of it or not.
Have a great day!
I love octopus too, in Italy it's a quite common plate. And owls besides cats I love too, they have the same eyes, lol !ReplyDelete
Hi Lea,ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by and your comments.
The beach on the picture is in Altinkum on the Mediterranean part of Turkey.
We loved it so much that we've had many more holidays there, travelling extensively and delving into the history and culture of this stunning country.
If you ever get the opportunity to, A) visit Turkey and B try octopus), I implore you to do so, you won't be disappointed!
Best wishes,

Lovely to hear from you again.
I know you, like me, love cats.
I love owls too, we live opposite some woodland and there are a few owls who live there.
A few years ago, during the day an oldish looking owl sat on the roof of our house, he was there for a few hours and then flew off back to the woods.
We still hear the owls hooting of a night time but we don't know whether or not it's the old owl who visited us!
best wishes,
ABCW team.
I am not sure you have convinced me to try to eat octopus, but I have to tell you the Owl and the Pussycat has been one of my favorite poems since childhood! :-)ReplyDelete
Shady Gardener: Hello and thanks for your comments, much appreciated.ReplyDelete
I understand your feelings about eating Octopus but I can honestly say it is delicious. I first came across it in the UK, in a pack of seafood salad from Costco.
I was curious to identify the pretty pink chunks amongst contents of the pack and, lo and behold, it was the much feared octopus which, along with other tasty morsels was soused in olive oil, herbs and garlic.
One mouthful and I was truly hooked...well worth a try even in the 'Costco' style!
'The Owl and the Pussy Cat' was one of my school day favourites too.
Best wishes,
ABCW team.

In a world filled with content and media companies struggling to make ends meet, Seeking Alpha stands out.
By emphasizing nitty-gritty financial analysis and breaking news, the company has carved out what appears to be a lucrative, revenue-generating niche.
The revenue, in turn, enables Seeking Alpha to pay its contributors handsomely. Founder David Jackson said recently that the site will soon be paying out $300,000 per month to its contributors, a crowd of about 7,000 independent analysts and freelancers who are paid $10 for every thousand pageviews generated by their copy.
If you're not in the content business, this number might not raise your eyebrows much, but trust me: A $3.6 million annual freelance budget is pretty damn impressive for any independent media company, let alone a startup whose content is mostly crowdsourced.
Jackson and his investors (Benchmark, Accel, and DAG Ventures) are even starting to attract attention from potential acquirers. Not that they need it.
"Our VCs probably think of me as someone who is committed to building a really large company because I turned down an acquisition offer by a large, well-known Internet company and because I rarely think about or discuss an exit strategy," Jackson recently wrote on ReplyAll, a fledgling discussion site.
When I asked him, Jackson wouldn't give me any details on the acquisition offer, except to say that it was unsolicited (he hadn't been shopping for a buyer or putting out feelers) and came from "a leading Internet company."
Seeking Alpha got where it is without fancy graphics or high-end design. In fact, the Seeking Alpha home page is just one notch above Craigslist in terms of how text-centric and minimalist its layout is.
"Investors use us as a work tool. They want to access information quickly and efficiently, and [they] value screen real estate," Jackson told me. "Pictures and video generally offer little value to them. This is an example of how our focus on being a must-use tool for investors produces radically different results from sites that view themselves primarily as media businesses."
As for the revenues and profits, Jackson wouldn't give me any specifics, except to say that he and his investors "are very optimistic about our revenue and margin potential."
"We think Seeking Alpha can be really big," Jackson said. "The investment research market is worth at least $7 billion annually. But it's broken. Sell side research analysts — I was one — don't have skin in the game, aren't opportunity driven, are often conflicted, and have no business model for coverage of small caps. In contrast, fund managers, buy-side analysts, industry experts and smart individual investors possess remarkable amounts of valuable investment insight. This is a market ripe for disruption by the Internet."
Seeking Alpha, which employs 118 people, appears to make most of its money from advertising. It sells ads to brands (such as brokerages and banks) that are eager to reach a large audience of serious investors. Jackson says that 1.3 million people have subscribed to the site's real-time e-mail alerts, another 1 million have subscribed to its newsletters, and it has 100,000 daily readers of its apps. As for the main website, it reaches 8 million unique visitors every month, who collectively generate 73 million pageviews, according to the site's media kit (.pdf).
But advertising is just one of three main sources of revenue. Content licensing is another potential source of revenue, though Jackson didn't elaborate on that.
And the company sells some of its content to readers: Its Seeking Alpha Pro product offers high-value content — stories that promise "asymmetric risk/reward," or in betting terms, an "edge" — for $250 per month. That gives subscribers exclusive access to these "Alpha-Rich" articles for 24 hours before they're published to the rest of the site's readers.
Ultimately, the site's goal is to become an indispensable tool for traders. Jackson says that it's getting there: Almost every professional investor he met on a recent trip to New York said they used the site.
And Seeking Alpha's site is starting to have a real market impact.
"We regularly move stocks," Jackson said. "In future, it'll be hard to be a successful trader without knowing in real time what's being published on Seeking Alpha and how it's impacting your stocks."
That profile is not too different from the strategy used by Politico, which has turned itself into an indispensable tool for Beltway types by focusing on rapid dissemination of politically useful information. Like Seeking Alpha, it uses apps, e-mail alerts, newsletters, and a high-volume website to reach its readers wherever they are, whenever they need the news. Like Seeking Alpha, Politico is generating healthy revenues, and has reportedly been profitable for several years — despite reports of a possible recent decline in its reputation.
It's a smart strategy, even if not every media site can adopt it: Focus on a definable market and really own it by providing information that people in that market need to get their jobs done.
Now if other media companies can only follow the same strategy. Newspapers, are you listening?

Tutor profile: Glenn M.
Subject: Writing
Does someone have to be born with a natural ability to write or can they be taught?
Someone may be born with a propensity to tell stories. Yet no one is born with the ability to tell those stories with words. Writing is a craft and words are the writer's tools to convey ideas. Someone once asked best-selling author Michael Crichton how someone can become a better writer. He succinctly answered, "Write." Then to take that answer one step further science fiction author Ray Bradbury stated that one does not become a writer until they have written a million words. That was his way of saying that it is necessary to write that many words to get the bad writing out of one's system. Then as far as whether a person can teach another person to write the answer is no. But writing can be learned which means that a novice writer can be taught what to do so they can learn for themselves how to become a better writer. One important thing a writer should learn is that they must read read read. The exposure to various types of writing helps a writer build vocabulary, master grammar and bring more sophistication to their writing style. Then when it's time to put the pen to paper they develop the mindset that what they write will never be any good. But what they write and rewrite and rewrite some more is going to start looking a lot better.
Subject: Film and Theater
Why are there so many more bad movies than good movies produced ever year?
It's a simple matter of supply and demand. Simply put, the supply of talented individuals who produce movies is exceeded by the public's demand for movies. Therefore, to meet the movie going public's demands other less talented filmmakers are allowed to produce a lower quality product.
Subject: English as a Second Language
Why is it that when someone uses an online automated translation program like Google translate the translations of sentences are rarely ever accurate?
The reason is that artificial intelligence has not been able to fully simulate the human aspect of language. Therefore translation software is not able to dependably pick up a language's subtleties, slang and expressions to successfully preserve the meaning and tone of the original text. Many words have multiple meanings and the software can't always decide which meaning is the correct one. There may be a combination of words in one language that translates to one word in another language and visa-versa. Oftentimes a combination of words that makes sense in one language would make absolutely no sense if translated word for word into another language. There may come a day when a translation program grows sophisticated enough to translate everything perfectly. But until then one is better off using today's translation technology to translate single words and short simple sentences.

Cleaning out my office: A potpourri of stuff I savedPosted January 24th, 2010
Tags: cleaning my office, duck phalluses, echidnas, prosperity pasta
Because I am a writer, I am always at work. What I mean is that I regard everything that comes toward me as potential subject matter. And although I am not a hoarder, my fascination for the show "Hoarders" on A&E probably comes from my own tendency to save stuff in case I ever need it as a detail , if not a topic, for something I am going to write. I guess its kind of a relief to see how far I am from a worst case scenario. Nevertheless, my office is always a mess. And not only because I am not tidy. Its because I save tons of articles and pamphlets and books on surfaces around me, thinking I am going to need them someday. Then when that day comes , I never find them because they are buried in a file (or a pile) called "Ideas for Stuff." Read more

Tonight we are having a BBQ at my parents' house and all I am bringing is dessert. I made chocolate chip cookies and lime wafers with a very yummy frosting. I bake alot and in my cookies, I always use Smart Balance Light. It creates a softer cookie, but the kids don't mind and I like the fact that I can eat 3 times as many! For the lime wafers, I colored the confectioner sugar glaze with Wilton dyes. This was the first time I had a chance to use them and they are awesome! The darker green was the first batch of frosting and I just didn't add anymore when I made the second batch. I like the contrast of the two greens. The liquid used was lime juice and it bursts in your mouth. Like I said...3 times as many ;))
I am a wife, a mom of three, and the kitchen is my favorite place in the house. I read cookbooks in my spare time and enjoy getting kitchen appliances for presents :) I love preparing delicious and healthy food for my family and here are a some of what graces our table each week.

Batter Up
Since I have banned dry cereal from the kitchen, I am now responsible (stuck) with preparing a real breakfast for the kids every morning. This morning was pancakes, a favorite in this house and I really love making them. I even had a wonderful helper this morning who is always ready to do the stirring for me. This recipe is also from Spice and Spirit and the only thing I do is cut the oil in half and barely grease the griddle. I learned somewhere that you only need to wipe the griddle with an oiled paper towel when making pancakes. If I have leftover batter, I try to make the rest of the pancakes and freeze them. They taste just as good reheated in a warm oven.

Situation: The Company has an off-shore business partner. Primary concerns involve team performance, process documentation and anticipating sales/marketing problems before they become issues. What have you found effective to monitor these areas?
Advice from the CEOs:
- At the executive level, keep things simple – identifying the major goals and pieces of projects that are the make-break points.
- Simplify the high level summary and make sure that all of the supporting activity is aligned with and supports key project or company goals. Some members manage projects with weekly or bi-weekly meetings.
- The benefit of keeping it simple in your own mind is that you can always return to this simplicity when dealing with detail level queries from the partner. It keeps you grounded and on track.
- One company uses project timelines that clearly show each of the teams where they fit into the project and how important it is for them to complete their portion of the project on time and to spec. Keep everything simple and direct.
- Sales tracking and management is different from development projects. Drive monitoring off forecasts, pipeline, and achievement of metrics that track with the forecasts.
- In working with your off-shore partner, organize your presentations so that the key points of emphasis are readily visible. Have back-up slides to show detail aspects of particular projects or initiatives, and be prepared to cover the details if needed. This will help to build confidence between you and your business partner.

A teenage girl was killed by a man after she and her mother criticized him for peeing in public in Delhi, Indian authorities today told BBC News.
More from GlobalPost: India: 2 women arrested over Bal Thackeray Facebook post
The girl, 17-year-old Binoo, was shot and killed on Thursday in the Indian capital's Nizamuddin area, said officials. The attack also left a bullet in her middle-aged mother, Sadmani, who survived but is in intensive care, according to The Times of India.
Delhi police official Ajay Chaudhary told BBC Hindi the two females lived in the same building as the suspected attacker, a man identified by The Times of India as Javed.
Chaudhary said the "girl and her mother objected to the man urinating near the gate of the house," prompting an argument that saw the man going back into the house threatening, "'I'll see you.'"
He returned with a pistol and shot at both of them, Chaudhary told BBC, adding that authorities are not aware of "any other dispute" between the three. Relatives told The Times of India that Sadmadi was known to have occasionally helped the man's family with financial matters.
Mother and daughter were home alone making dinner when they heard the man peeing, said officials. He is suspected of being drunk at the time of the offense, reported The Times of India, citing a neighbor as saying:
"They [mother and daughter] served the food and switched on the TV when Javed arrived with a companion. The companion waited at a distance while Javed stood at the stairs leading to the house and began relieving himself. Sadmani and Binno emerged and loudly asked him to leave,"
People ran to the scene when they heard the womens' screams. Sadmani's husband and son were out at the time of the attack, police said.
Authorities have launched a search for the man, who went on the run after the incident. A murder case has been filed against him, said The Times of India, and he had reportedly been charged with a previous count of attempted murder.

The best way to get started is to claim the big welcome bonus this casino is offering. By doing so, you will get a big bonus on your first deposit, as well as free spins.

However, "the game of the week" is something that you should check out at the promotions page. More bonuses and other promotions will show up in the near future, for sure. So, as always, make sure to keep yourself up to date at Sugar Casinos website.

Just click the VIP button in the main menu to read more about this club and learn how to become a member of it.
The Game Providers
As mentioned above, the best game providers for online slots are here. With that said, surely some titles are missing since not all of the games from them are provided. But all the new titles and big games are here, so we are quite certain that you will find some of you good old favorites, as well as some new exciting ones. The full list of providers are:
- Microgaming

About Support & Payments at Sugar Casino
Even though this casino runs very smoothly on this very nice platform, surely there might be some questions from time to time. In the footer, you will find two different ways to get help from the customer support team at Sugar Casino. If you click the "help button", you can go to the support page. Here you will get answers to just the most basic questions, like if you have forgotten your password or such. On your left-hand side, there are different categories to choose from, whether your questions are regarding banking, bonuses, games or your account. This is the best option to look at first – hopefully, the answer is right there.
But if not, you can use the "Live Support" button, also shown in the footer. Click this one and you get to send a question in their contact form or talk to them via a live chat. Whatever option you prefer, you will get a fast support and hopefully good answers to your questions at hand.
As mentioned, this brand is built on a great platform that also supports the most common payment providers. Therefore, you can easily choose to make deposits and withdrawals with your credit card, Skrill, Neteller or some of the other most popular ones.
Our Summary of Sugar Casino
There is no question about it, you get happy just by visiting Sugar Casino. This very happy and colorful site on a great platform is just what you need to get cheered up. However, we might expect more when it comes to bonuses to be really pleased. This is something that we do think this brand will add in the not so distant future. To be able to keep you as a player for a longer time, it is important to constantly offer new fun promotions and such. The VIP club is a nice addition to the bonuses, even though this club really doesn't offer more than the general kind of loyalty club.
The games are something that we really do think is the strongest part of this website. Really nice game providers and everything is easy to find and choose from. A live casino that even holds the Dreamcatcher Money Wheel is also a nice addition. All in all, Sugar Casino has one of the most appealing looks on the market right now, at least if you are into candy! Try it yourself and see if it is something for you!Claim Bonus

In her latest study related to work performance, Listen, an independent market research agency specialized in marketing studies and studies related to human capital, reveals that 70% of Belgians feel performant at work.
We learn that the feeling of performance increases with age and that the region plays a major role in this perception. In fact, the survey indicates that 76% of Flemish people feel that they are performing well, whereas this is the case for only 61% of the Walloons and 59% of the people living in Brussels.
The feeling of performance comes above all from the degree of commitment and the perceived efficiency (64%). Commitment is expressed by the involvement of the worker and his mobilization for his work. Efficiency is a result of the worker's performance and his ability to organize his work efficiently and to apply the processes. Other elements also influence work performance such as cooperation, agility, health and innovation. These are perceived differently depending on the age and seniority of the worker and the size of the company he is working in.
According to 72% of the respondents, work performance is primarily related to a personal balance and this increases with age. The older you are, the more personal well-being has a direct impact on your performance.
For about 1 in 2 respondents, the relationships with colleagues, the direct manager and the organization also play a key role in the perception of performance at work.
The survey shows that more than 1 in 2 workers feel globally good about their work. Older employees feel the best in their society. We also learn that overseeing a team has a positive influence on the well-being of a worker.
Well-being at work is influenced by commitment and the perception of individual performance. Unsurprisingly, the survey reveals that employees who consider themselves to be performant at work and who are the most committed feel the best at work.
The loyalty of workers increases with age and seniority. More than half of the workers think of working in the same company in the next 2 years, but the figures vary by age group. Among the 18-24 years old, 42% still think of working for the same employer while the percentage rises to 63% among the 45-54 years old.

Although Otto only had a short stopover in Kansas City, I decided to spend a few days in the city – which I did not regret.
Right on the first day we went on a timetravelling trip in the Arabia Steamboat Museum. During the days of steamboat travel, many of them sank due to collision with stumps in the shallow water when going upstream in the Missouri river. Steamboats usually transported many goods, but also passengers. Whereas it was reatively easy to save passengers, it was harder to save the cargo due to the fast sinking. Today, hundreds of wrecks are known to lie at the banks of the Missouri river, who has changed its path over the years. Many people have tried the treasure hunt, but only few wrecks actually hold true treasures.
One of them was the Arabia Steamboat. It sunk in September 1856 with all of its cargo, over 200 tons, into the Missouri river. Explorers have tried to find the legendary ship, but it was only in the 1980's that 4 men – a father with his two sons and a friend – actually found it and excavated it. During the excavation, every day was like christmas, when they discovered everything from fine china and clothes to building materials and canned food. Initially thinking to sell the discoveries they quickly realized how valuable the vast collection was and decided to not break it up.
Today, we are able to see the treasures at the Museum in downtown Kansas City. The visit starts with a short guided tour and introduction to the Museum and the story of the steamboat, followed by a video about the discovery of the wreck. Afterwards, one can wonder around the treasure collection – which is still only a part of the entire cargo on the ship. Matt Hawley, the son of one of the founders od the Arabia, explained that they would need another 30 years to clean all of the items they had found.
In the treasure room, the sheer amount of items was overwhelming. Whole collections of complete fine china sets, intact cans of food, hats by the pile, mountains of nails and many more form today the largest collection of pre-civil war artifacts. While looking at all the precious artifacts it tried to imagine all the fates that were decidec because this very steamboat sank. In the museum we learned that a whole city was abandoned because the needed clothing and building materials never made it to its destination.
In the Museum, one can also see in an open office how the materials are cleaned and preserved, which is very interesting. The upper deck is recreated in it's original size, which gives a pretty good understanding of the size of the Arabia. I really enjoyed the journey to the past on the Arabia Steamboat!

It appears I cannot edit the zones in an existing schedule I have created. If I want to change the zones (not the duration but which zones actually are in the schedule) I have to create a whole new schedule. This is on the iOS app and the web.
Flex or wan?
If wa, yes, you have to trash the schedule and start all over again.
If flex, you can bring up the zones menu and add or remove.
I have deleted all flex schedules as they are no longer supported, and so these were all setup with the new version of the app, I created the schedules today actually…
@murph2481 I apoligize if we've created confusion. Flex schedules will be fully re-introduced in our next software release, the community has spoken.
Here is some more information on the topic. Please let me know if you have any other questions or feedback.
For now you can re-create the flex schedules at https://flex-app.rach.io if you feel the other schedule types won't work for you.
@franz So I am alright with the flex coming back, but my question was why can I not fully edit a schedule from the web or from the iOS device. I cannot change what zones are included in a schedule and I cannot change the frequency of watering (I cannot change from specific days to interval days for example) The only way to manage that change is to create a whole new schedule.
@murph2481 Yes that was a product decision, big back story but we ended up with that. I'll let @benblackmer or @brad speak more on the topic if they want to add.

Forty-eight blocks down, and only one block remaining. This week's block in Grandmother's Choice: The Fight For Women's Rights quilt project is in remembrance of the Canadian women who stepped forward during World War I to support the war effort both at home and abroad. They not only filled the labor force vacancies left by the men that went to war, but also as nurses at the battle lines. In fairness, Canada awarded women the right to vote in 1917 for the services they provided.
Our foremothers in the United States were no less patriotic, yet they were still denied the right to vote.
WWI ranks highly among the most deadly conflicts in U.S. history. We suffered a casualty list of 323,155 during the 19 months that constituted our involvement in WWI. The need for trained nurses was great.
Anticipating the possibility of war, the American Red Cross Nursing Service was organized in 1901 by Jane Arminda Delano, a professional nurse who also possessed outstanding administrative skills. Jane Delano created the service by uniting the American Nursing Association, the Army Nurse Corp, and the American Red Cross.
And I Was Talking About What?
I nearly always get derailed by WWI posters, the propaganda and iconography are so compelling. My first experience with this art form was during a visit to the National WWI Museum at the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri; a recruiting poster by Fred Spear that shamelessly depicted innocent victims of the torpedoing of the R.M.S. Lusitania on 7 May, 1915. Simple, yet effective.
The American public did not want to become involved in a war in Europe, but propaganda posters, a popular method to attract attention and fire patriotism, were soon being seen across the nation. James Montgomery Flagg, one of the first great propaganda artists, was commissioned to wake America up with a bugle cry for Liberty.
And our government wasn't kidding about every man, woman, and child. J.C. Leyendecker, known for his Arrow© collar and shirt illustrations, depicted a young Boy Scout arming a warrior-like Lady Liberty with sword and shield.
Don't make the mistake that sex sells was an invention dreamed up by ad men of the television era, it's been around a long, long, long time. Howard Chandler Christy, a combat artist during the Spanish-American War, figured if the lure of action, adventure, and heroism in the recruitment posters didn't float the boats of red-blooded American men, there was a good chance that the pretty girl next door just might do the trick.
Christy devised a backup strategy as well… if sex didn't sell, a pretty girl casting aspersions on American Manhood – Be A Man And Do It – was certain to compel the most craven of stragglers to the recruitment stations.
Women provided additional services to the war effort aside from being used as a reminder to the boys why they should fight. With approximately 17,000 casualties per month, female nurses, ambulance drivers, clerks, and switchboard operators freed their male counterparts to fight. Would you like some numbers?
America provided 21,480 U.S. Army nurses, all women, who served on the home front and abroad. More than 400 of these nurses died in the line of duty.
The U.S. Army Quartermaster's Service employed 283 bilingual women as telephone operators and stenographers.
13,000 American women enlisted in the Navy and Marines. 305 women served as Marine Reservists in a clerical capacity, while the yeoman recruits served as couriers, draftsmen, fingerprint experts, masters-at-arms, mess attendants, paymasters, recruiters, switchboard operators, and translators. They received the identical pay, $28.75 per month, as their male counterparts and were treated as veterans after the Armistice.
Need more specific information? Loretta Perfectus Walsh became the first active-duty U.S. woman in a non-nurse occupation when she enlisted 17 March, 1917. Walsh became the first woman U.S. Navy Petty Officer when she was sworn in as Chief Yeoman, 21 March, 1917.
Charles Dana Gibson and Clarence F. Underwood were recruited to create posters that helped fuel the the drive for volunteers and funding.
On the home front, a women's organization called The Woman's Land Army of America employed over 15,000 women, many college educated, to replace farmers called up by the U.S. military. A number of well known illustrators and artists provided propaganda posters for the Woman's Land Army of America, including the man who became known as the the father of the American poster, Edward Penfield.
Did You Think That I was Off-Topic?
Canada may have seen the logic of enfranchising women who, in peace and in war, did so much for their country. The United States, however, continued to ignore the lengths that American women were willing to go in service of their homeland. American women waited 22 months after the Armistice before the 19th Amendment was ratified by Congress on 18 August, 1920.

Monaghan is Back (...
a bunch next week!)
Rifle Butts Short Course, Horsham,
Sunday 26th October 2008
A tail wind start meant high speeds
as Grampians Vets cyclists tackled the 46km Rifle Butts
course last Sunday, starting and finishing from the
Wool Factory on Golf Course Road, Horsham.
The first warm conditions for
this summer racing period, with 25 degrees
at 8am, along with a moderate head wind on the final
leg back to Horsham, made conditions a little testing.
Meg Parnaby
led the field away, riding from 14 and a half minutes.
Having raced the 70km Camperdown to Warrnambool the
day before, Meg did well to hold off the 6 and a half
minute riders Peter Mayo, Tom Eldridge, Danny Monaghan
and Sean Prins until the 30km mark.
These riders then
worked well together to hold off the following bunches
until the final kilometre of the race.
Riding off 2
minutes, second scratch riders Steve Monks, Peter Parnaby,
Harvey Lang and Gerard O'Brien combined well
to hold the scratch riders Tim Schneider, Alan Barnett,
Chris Scott, Frank Kean and Drew Heard at bay until
35km into the race, when these two bunches combined.
combined bunch then worked hard into the wind on the
long leg back to Horsham, finally catching
the tail end of the straggly lead bunch with about
1km to go.
However, Monaghan and Mayo had escaped
from the rest of the lead group of riders just before
the scratch riders caught up, and managed to power
home ahead of the rest of the field with Monaghan crossing
the line first ahead of Mayo.
Monks was third with
Chris Scott recording the fastest time of the day of
1 hour 14 minutes.
Looking for some company to share the kilometres with?
There are usually Training Groups leaving both Stawell and Horsham at regular weekly times.

This power green can do so much for you and your body! Kale is great for fighting cancer, protecting against heart disease, improving arthritis conditions, slowing the aging process, encouraging beautiful skin, and increasing male potency. Kale is an excellent source of beta-carotene, sulfur, vitamin C, and the trace mineral selenium. It is also a good source of bone-building calcium and magnesium.
Collard Greens are the only other vegetable besides Kale to have a score of 1,000 on the Aggregate Nutrient Density Index. These greens lower cholesterol and may even help prevent cancer. They fight inflammation and are high in antioxidants. Collard greens also support the cardiovascular and digestive systems. During the summer we get to source 100% of our organic collard greens from Fiddlehead Farms in Corbett, OR! Learn more about Fiddlehead Farms on Our Farmers page.
Cucumber cleanses the body from the inside out. Its compounds help remove accumulated pockets of waste materials and toxins. Additionally, they are low in calories and a great source of B vitamins.

Cilantro is packed with antioxidants, and is a natural cleansing agent. It is used in many different systems of medicine in traditional remedies and treatments. And it's easy to see why. It helps clear heavy metals and toxins from the body. Cilantro is also an antimicrobial. It promotes healthy digestion all while benefiting the body's natural state of homeostasis.
Lemons are super high in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant which strengthens the immune system. They are also a natural antiseptic, so they clear bad bacteria out of the body. Lemons have an alkalizing effect, stimulate the digestive system and purify toxins in the liver.
Ginger gives this juice an extra kick! As an ancient remedy, ginger was popular as a boost for the immune system. Now, studies show ginger is a strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. As a result, it allows your body to protect itself from a number of health problems. For example, heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer's. It is known to help relieve nausea and reduce muscle pain. Ginger is also great for those with IBS or diabetes because it kick starts metabolism and can balance out sugar levels. In addition to reducing cholesterol, ginger lowers the risk of blood clots.

People love the beach -- even the surf and sand in winter appeals to some beachgoers. If you plan to visit the beach during the off-season, you'll need to adjust your beachwear for cooler temperatures and changing conditions. Whether visiting a tropical beach or an oceanside community in New England, you should dress in layers to prepare for winter beach activities.
Cool Beaches
Setting sail for a beach that has cool temperatures in winter? Since conditions are not conducive for swimming, you can leave the swimsuit behind. Stay comfortable as you shell hunt or hike the dunes by wearing a soft, long-sleeved shirt and slacks made from a stretchy fabric like a poly-cotton blend. Natural and bold colors work for winter beach fashion, but some stylists suggest that white jeans work too. Pair the jeans with ballet shoes or flat-heeled boots. Layer clothing to shield your body from cool temperatures. A water-resistant windbreaker or light jacket is suitable for some beaches. Go with a heavier jacket if facing frigid temperatures.
Warm Beaches
Warm, soft sands may feel nice on your toes, but in winter you should have a few key pieces of clothing on hand. Women should pack a snuggly terry coverup or a colorful sarong for a quick wrap against winter breezes. Men should wear shoes that cover their feet when dining beachside in winter. Keep a lightweight jacket handy for moonlit walks. A cotton polo and medium to long length shorts are must-haves for men.
Beachy Accessories
Finish your outfits with whimsical, stylish beach accessories. A wide-brimmed, straw hat is always appropriate for beachwear. Oversized sunglasses, a wide cuff or bangle bracelet shows off a winter tan. Select shoes that allow you to walk comfortably but provide your feet with some protection. Your shoe choices can range from open-toed sandals to colorful, rubber boots. A long, fluttering scarf or silky scarf can add style to a simple beach outfit.
Winter Skin Care
Laying flat on your back in the sand may not be an option for you, but don't forgo the sun protection. Wear a face and body moisturizer that contains a reasonable SPF, at least 15, preferably 30 or above. You can avoid chapped, winter lips by keeping lips protected with a soothing balm that contains an SPF.

Ashleigh, Chris, Marlon and Christopher all received the most votes from their fellow housemates, after the group nominated on Sunday.
Following a week off, Jale is back up for eviction thanks to Pauline's killer nomination, which meant she would face the boot every week.
Ashleigh previously admitted to Danielle she thought she would be next out of the house, after she was booed by the crowd during Friday's eviction.
Matthew became the fourth housemate to be evicted last week.
He told the Daily Star he thought many housemates were cosying up to Helen to escape being nominated.
"She thinks she's queen bee but the others aren't genuine friends. They just follow her so she doesn't nominate them," he said.
Find out how the house reacted to the latest round of nominations tonight at 10pm on Channel 5.

This is for all of you echo360 admins that may miss the feature for being able to exclude dates while scheduling an otherwise regular schedule for the semester.
(Note that if it is an exception that is for ALL classes, you can do this when you set up the term.)
But that isn't what this is about. This is for a regularly scheduled course, that perhaps doesn't want two dates captured because there will be a guest speaker that doesn't want to be recorded, or they have a day that they want to give an advantage to students that make the effort to actually attend class, or they will be having their exam that day and there is no reason to capture.
On the old self hosted model, there was a way to say when making the schedule, here is the schedule, and here are the dates that I want left out. Easy.
On the new cloud scheduler, you make the schedule.
(New Schedule)
Notice, no place to exclude dates…. so : Save the schedule and then you will see what you did on the calendar, and the repeating event will appear once on the left side…
Open the repeating schedule up:
find the individual date that you do not want to record and click on the color bar that represents it in this day calendar view.
This pops up some info about the recording, with two small icons in the lower right corner. A pencil and a trash can. The pencil lets you edit the whole schedule, and the trash can lets you delete the recording. If it is a sequence of recordings, you will be prompted as to whether you want to delete everything in the schedule, or just this one recording from the schedule. If you are on a one shot recording, it will just delete the instance with no further prompts. (read: no "are you sure you want to delete this?")
It then will close the schedule up — so to do a few deletions, you will have to open it up and hunt for the dates you want each time. But it does work.
