This Chocolate Raspberry Mousse is simple to make for a fancy party, a special dinner IN for two (looking at you, Valentines Day), or for an after dinner dessert any day of the week. I even Halloween-i-fied the mousse here. It's so versatile!!
For Valentine's, I love to top the mousse with:
- CocoWhip (dairy-free whipped cream!)
- Fresh raspberries (Soooooooooo gorgeous!)
- Mini Pink Cookie Dough Bites (Recipe below!)
This recipe couldn't be simpler, like 4 ingredients in a food processor for about 4 minutes --- (excluding the cookie dough bites, but they are totally optional!). The chocolate mousse is full of healthy fats and yummy flavor.
Chocolate mousse is one of the easiest ways I've found for my daughter to like avocado! She's normally not a huge fan --- so I try to pair it with chocolate, like in fudgesicles and muffins. You can find both of those recipes in my 2nd cookbook.
To take this dessert to next-level awesome, I've topped it with mini raspberry cookie dough bites! Grain-free (made with almond flour), dairy-free (sweetened with So Delicious creamer!), and full of veggies and fruit (helllllllllllo, beets + fresh raspberries!) this beautiful egg-less cookie dough is perfect as a garnish or to eat by the spoonful! No judgement.

The opinions, recipe, beautiful food photography and text are all mine. Thank you for supporting brands that support Nosh and Nourish!! I choose them based on what I already cook/create with and feel 100% confident in recommending to you.

Farewell, DKNY PR Girl: The fashion brand breaks with its sassy mascot
Update, Aug. 12, 5:50 p.m. ET: After Mashable published this report, Donna Karan International released an official statement on Aliza Licht's imminent departure. Come this fall, DKI stated in a statement to Mashable, Licht will be officially leaving the company.
"Since the launch and success of my book Leave Your Mark I have been traveling the world meeting with the community that has gathered through social media," she says in a release. "Their overwhelming response has encouraged me to pursue new opportunities in media. For the next few months I will be enjoying the new chapter at KNY and helping the company transition through the fall. It has been an extraordinary seventeen years for me at DKI. I am extremely grateful for their support and I am excited about the future."
The company's CEO, Caroline Brown adds: "Aliza has built an extraordinary community as DKNY PR Girl over these past few years with her truly authentic thoughts, messages and passion for her followers. As such she has been critical to the growth of DKNY and a leader in social networks. We look forward to continuing the relationship with the community of DKNY PR Girl at @dkny now as she embarks on a new chapter. We are so grateful for Aliza's many contributions to this company and support her in this new step in her own career."
Earlier this month, a curious tweet went up on the popular handle, @DKNY.
It was neither an outright goodbye nor an explainer. Rather, a subtle foreshadowing of what was to come.
"Dear Friends: I have a big announcement," the casual tweet on Aug. 3, said. "For all personal of @leaveyourmarkXO book related tweets, please tweet & follow @AlizaLicht. Thx"
What was happening over at DKNY? Was Donna Karan International's SVP of Global Communications Aliza Licht leaving for good? And was this really goodbye to DKNY PR Girl, the same personality who became an overnight social sensation from her birth in 2009?
A few days later on Aug. 6 a new explainer went out: "DKNY is going in exciting new directions! Stay tuned for what's next! Going forward please tweet @AlizaLicht. DKNY PR Girl is all grown up!"
There were no other tweets from Licht, the personality behind the Twitter handle who ran PR for the huge fashion brand. No farewells, no explanations, no announcement of anything to come. For the usually forthright Licht, this seemed out of the ordinary.
With that last tweet, DKNY PR Girl disappeared forever, Mashable confirmed. By Saturday, her every tweet — from her live commentary during Scandal to her award show coverage — was completely deleted along with each of her Tumblr posts, including her infamous #showrequests. The chic, fire-haired avatar dissolved completely, replaced by a new, stolid corporate handle, which as of yet, has not tweeted anything. The DKNY Instagram account now contains only 12 photos. It says: "Work in progress. 9. 16. 15," the date for its spring/summer 2016 show.
"DKNY is heading into an exciting new creative direction, starting with the upcoming September show," Licht told Mashable. "We are grateful for the community's support these past six years and hope they stay tuned for this newly consolidated DKNY digital universe."
Licht added that she would remain at the brand, business as usual. Only now the brand and its social media figurehead are two separate entities.
The direction comes with the brand's newly hired CEO, Caroline Brown, who came from Carolina Herrera to take over Donna Karan International in January. The brand had also hired Hector Muelas as chief image officer from Apple, a major win.
"We find that the U.S. is a super interesting market," said Pierre-Yves Roussel, chairman and CEO of LVMH Fashion Group to WWD. "It starts from having the right CEOs and building a team around that so we can be successful as we've been in Europe on a lot of projects."
A few months after, there were major shakeups. Jane Chung, longtime creative director for DKNY and former student of Karan's, was reportedly out. In came the heralded design darlings from Public School, Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osbourne. Patti Cohen, the brand's longtime head of public relations, followed suit after more than 30 years of service.
Then Donna Karan announced her departure from the brand she started in the '90s, and left in June.
So it was unsurprising that social media maven Licht would see her last day as well.
It was surprising, however, that DKNY PR Girl even lasted this long.
Social media handles come and go in the vast landscape of the web. But DKNY PR Girl remained a relevant destination, for her sass and candid nature. Licht adopted the handle after a group conversation between executives at the company. After taking on Twitter, the brand organically adopted a Gossip Girl-type anonymous tone. Two years later in response to industry murmurs about the handle's identity, Licht was unveiled in a video.
Licht was able to provide a true behind-the-scenes look into the fashion industry while engaging with fans. It was one of the first times a fashion brand's social media handle became more than just an outlet to pump out news and marketing.
After coming out with her own book, Leave Your Mark, Licht decided it was time to promote her own persona as much as she did DKNY's.
"DKNY PR Girl's greatest appeal was her incredibly strong social media voice, which was, and is, intelligent, witty, sharp, funny, snarky and, at times, even inspirational," says Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez, bloggers behind the website TomandLorenzo.com and authors of Everyone Wants to Be or Do Me.
"Aliza's appeal was in her ability to connect with just about anyone and everyone literally anywhere," says Tina Craig of BagSnob.com. The two collaborated on a DKNY x Bagsnob handbag collection after meeting each other on Twitter. "Whether she was at a nail salon or dressing a celebrity, she gave us the ultimate inside look at the fashion industry."
Since the inception of the handle six years ago, the brand won four Fashion 2.0 awards for Best Twitter, one for Best Fashion Blog and was even nominated for a Mashable Award for Must Follow Brand on Social Media. But most importantly, Licht created a precedent for what brands are able to do on social media.
As for DKNY PR Girl, according to Licht, she isn't dead, she's just graduated from the Twittersphere.

At present enrolled undergraduate and graduate girls in addition to school and staff are eligible for Girls's Well being Providers. Empowerment of women, which incorporates ensuring access to well being data and management of resources such as cash, is necessary for achieving gender equality and health equity. Lots of the locations where MSF works are patriarchal societies where it is troublesome for girls to implement contraception in their relationships and the place girls usually are not inspired or allowed to freely access well being care.
Surgical providers Our surgeons perform superior minimally invasive surgical procedures for pelvic ache, uterine fibroids , endometriosis and other urogynecological situations. The girl's role is a big function in offering the assistance wanted for the household's health.
The Pelvic Well being crew will collaborate along with your main care doctor and other specialists who specialise in women's health to create a personalized therapy plan. So as to make a change in the health of households globally, women should be educated and compensated equally.
Be aware: feedback is for non-emergency questions and suggestions regarding affected person companies and web site performance. Considered one of MSF's challenges can lie in encouraging the folks we assist to make use of our emergency obstetric providers. As MSF is usually the only health provider in a area, ladies continuously need to journey long distances to reach us, and they might not begin this journey until complications have already developed.
We start by assessing your health and the well being of your baby, then match you with a pregnancy care group of physicians, nurse practitioners and board-certified midwives. At Girls's Health Institute, we're northern New Mexico's shut-to-dwelling useful resource for a full spectrum of well being care.

My biggest reading goal for 2018 was to read books that have been sitting on my shelves for, in some cases, years collecting dust. I have found that book lovers tend to have this passion for hoarding library books while still holding onto the hundreds of books they own, believing someday they will all get read. If you love the library, keep up with the "bookstagrammers" and subscribe to any book blogs or podcasts, you will ALWAYS find great new books to read and you will always want to read them RIGHT. NOW. So the goal this year was to prioritize the books on my shelf I honestly do want to read but have put on the backburner for the PYTs of the nerd world (aka "hot type"). You should do this, too! I guarantee you will feel this therapeutic sense of accomplishment. But it also means you have to stay away from the library… I can't honestly say I've been super successful on that front, as you will shortly see. Guys. I'm a geek. I love the library. If you don't know this already, Hi! Welcome.
Sisters Chase
This one surprised me! I bought it through Book of the Month Club when I was a subscriber for two whole months. Nearly every BOTM club pick has been a disappointment, and I had heard a lot of complimentary reviews of this story, so I was hoping it would live up. It did! So, this writing is not outstanding, and the storyline isn't super original, but I still enjoyed the journey and got attached to the characters enough to wish for the best and hope for a happy ending! This is 100% a Lifetime movie storyline. In fact, it's probably already been filmed with Tori Spelling or some other 80's superstar. 18 year old Mary Chase is manipulative, shrewd with her calculating survival instincts, beautiful, and all Mama Bear with her little sister, Hannah. Through a series of circumstances, the two girls wind up living on their own, sometimes in their car, going from town to town, settling down only to pack up and move again. It's a coming-of-age story with some twists and surprises, but Mary is the one who really keeps us on our toes the entire time. This is not for those who are hyper sensitive to some scandal or womanly wiles if you know what I mean. I hope you know what I mean. You've been warned.
Milk and Honey
I really don't love poetry. I have tried, I have really tried. It just truly bores me. And I really hate it when (especially young adult) authors reference poetry constantly throughout their book, but, I get it. It's because they are so much deeper and profound than me. Whatever. I say all this to let you know… this is a poetry book. And I loved it. She really is deeper and more profound than me. Kaur writes so many things I have felt or experienced and would never have known how to put into words. It is definitely not for everybody because she is extremely blunt and also writes about INTIMATE experiences (aaaand there are illustrations). So if that's not for you, or you just don't care to browse around those topics, then… it's not for you! BUT, you definitely can skip those passages, and still find a lot of greatness here. Just maybe don't let your kids get a hold of it. Get me?

The company says it continues to explore options to divest its interest in the Irish market which is part of its non-core business.
Its goal of divesting non-core parts of the business and building a new management team during 2014 as part of its repositioning has been achieved, says chairman John Gallagher.
Sales of assets in the UK, its Irish pension and advisory business and other smaller advisory administration businesses here also helped strengthen its balance sheet.
Trading over the opening three months of the year was in line in expectations with new business helping its core businesses of James Hay and Saunderson House.
"IFG is strongly positioned with two profitable businesses in attractive markets and has a strong liquid balance sheet to support further growth and investment," said Group chief executive Paul McNamara.
In its interim management statement released yesterday to coincide with the group's AGM, IFG said it is on track to deliver growth in profitability in 2015 with £21.2bn (€29.56bn) of assets now under administration.
James Hay assets have grown from £16.4bn at the end of December to £17.3bn in March while Saunderson House assets grew by £200,000.
While the group's growth strategy is primarily organic its partnerships will augment growth particularly in the second half of the year, it said.

In just under one month, Justin Timberlake is set to take the stage during the Super Bowl halftime show, which is widely known to be the largest show any musician can star in. With an audience of well over 100 million people, it is many an artist's dream to headline, and the few who are given the opportunity don't take treat responsibility lightly.
While there is almost always one name that gets top billing, it has become customary for even the biggest stars to bring special guests into the spotlight to showcase new songs, old hits, and even for one-off collaborations that delight the millions tuning in.
Timberlake has a storied history of working with some of the most creative and successful artists in the world, and if he wanted, he could look at his past hits and pull a few friends to join him. So far, he's remained mum about any possible joint showings, but if he was going to select a few people that he's stepped into the studio with, who might they be?
The first and one of the most obvious options for an on-field collaboration is Jay-Z, who has long been a friend and collaborator of Timberlake's. The two scored a serious hit and won a GRAMMY together for "Suit & Tie," the song that introduced The 20/20 Experience to the world. Once that song is done, they could also do a bit of Jay's "Holy Grail," which features JT on the chorus and the hook. Jay has been long overdue for a cameo during the Super Bowl, though at least one report claims he turned down an offer to headline this year.

As originally published in MediaPost Online Video Daily.
There has been a lot of buzz lately around video content in the publishing world. Some of the biggest publishers are either predicting or pushing for all video content in just a few years.
For example, Tronc, formerly known as Tribune, revealed plans for its all video future just a few weeks ago. Even Facebook expects its content to be mostly video, if not all, in the next five years.
The force behind this video content rush is clearly a desire for driving business and revenue. Video ads provide publishers with much more money than display and other forms of digital advertising that accompany text content. But at what cost does ad profitability take precedence over consumer experience? Is this all-video future something consumers want? And if publishers do go this route, what other business challenges may arise from a push to all video?
The customer is always right
All this conversation about strategy and profit sometimes loses sight of what should be of the utmost importance to both advertisers and publishers: the user experience.
A recent report from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism found that over 40% of those surveyed prefer reading the news rather than watching news videos.
Given these statistics, news publishers like Tronc might alienate a huge chunk of readers by obliging them to follow on this all-video path. If readers refuse to get on board, they're not the ones at a loss. There are so many news outlets and publishers online providing well-reported textual content that those who strive toward all video might lose out.
New competition
Other publishers willing to maintain and share their textual-based news are not the only competitors for Tronc and others who are betting on an all video future.
When switching over to the new format, these publishers will be competing with other online and offline video content, especially, local TV news stations.
The brands behind Tronc including the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times are all in the business of local news, and this market is certainly full of TV networks already garnering in millions of views. By striving toward all-video content, publishers could actually be hindered as readership and video impressions decline.
The juxtaposition of local TV news vs local news publishers raises the question of the type of video content publishers will pursue. For example, will hard news on topics like local politics, crime and education be delivered via a video format or will the videos be mainly developed for feature news like travel and hospitality?
Since people still seem to prefer reading news, videos in lieu of restaurant and hotel reviews, DIY and cooking segments might be more appealing.
The business side of video
Consumer experience aside, the business side of video is an important consideration for publishers.
Subscription-based models where consumers pay to access news videos is tricky as the paywalls have been known to deter users, and make it hard to compete with the abundance of on-air and online local TV news video content available.
There are also in-video advertising options. Publishers like Tronc could choose to get creative and start producing interactive ads popular on Facebook and Instagram. Studies have shown that interactive video ads garner more viewer engagement. Other options include pre-roll and other types of more standard video ads.
But might this proliferation of in-video ads cause consumers to adopt ad blockers on a larger scale?
Studies looking at motivating factors behind ad-blocking have found roughly 40-60% of respondents citing pre-roll ads as their reason for using ad blockers. Publishers relying on this model as their main business strategy may end up alienating consumers even more and setting in motion a difficult path to recovery.
Yet another option for video publishers are opt-in video ads, which users generally find more palatable. Viewers feel like they have some control over their experience with opt-in ads and don't have the sense of being bombarded and encroached as they do with pre-roll.
Video is a fascinating medium that is transforming the way people communicate and consume content. However, publishers must critically examine user experience and the business strategy behind its adoption before making the leap to ensure they land on higher ground.

Hi Friends! Welcome to Episode Ten of the Reaching Hurting Women Podcast: A Contemplative Path of Recovery where we are learning new ways of coping with our daily struggles. My name is Tamara and I will be your host. This week we are talking about: The Examen
For many years I've used the monthly calendar to direct my ongoing study of the 12 Steps of recovery: In January with Step One we admit that we are powerless over our dependencies. In February's Step 2 we come to believe that a Power greater than ourselves can restore our sanity. For March in Step 3 we decided to turn our life and will over to God's care. For April Step 4 brings us to a time of reflecting as we take a fearless moral inventory of ourselves. In May's Step 5, we confessed our wrongs to God, ourselves and another person. In June's Step 6 we are ready for God to remove all our defects of character. For July and Step 7 we humbly ask God to remove our shortcomings. In August Step 8 calls for us to make a list of those we have harmed and to become willing to make amends to them all. Then in September and Step 9 we make our amends wherever it is possible. And now with the tenth month of October, we are focusing on Step 10, which reads:
We continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
Step 10 is a continuation of Step 4's life inventory, but it's to be done ongoing. How we take our ongoing inventory varies from person to person. Some like to keep a running inventory throughout the day; others, maybe take it in the morning and evening. Then there are those who like a seasonal weekend retreat for more in-depth inventory work
When we keep our inventory ongoing throughout the day, it helps keep our amends list short. This is a great use of the Notes app on a Smartphone. We can quickly jot down when we were short with our spouse on the phone at lunch. Then we won't forget to apologize later at home.
Our Daily Inventory can also be more private at the end of the day by taking a few minutes to journal about the times where we might have harmed someone or acted in anger. However, we mustn't forget to keep our inventory balanced also noting the things we did right that day. Our journal helps us have a record so when needed we can make amends as soon as possible.
There are many who like to take mini-retreats, to spend some time alone with God to pray and read over their journal entries. This is a great time to celebrate your victories and also see where you can improve over the next three months.
In the Christian Contemplative tradition there is another type of inventory. Saint Ignatius instituted The Prayer of Examen more than 400 years ago. The Examen is a technique of prayerful refection over the events of our day designed to detect God's presence and discern His direction and guidance for us. There are many books and articles written with different versions and various ideas how to use The Examen. Today I want to give you a brief overview and a sample of the version that I like to use.
In his Spiritual Exercises, St. Ignatius of Loyola, urges everyone to be taught The Examen, daily examining of our deepest desires and feelings. Ignatius calls our feelings consolations and desolations.
Consolations: connect us with God, others and ourselves.
Desolations: disconnect us from God, others and ourselves.
Ignatius believed that God would speak to us through our feelings and desires bringing about revelation and change. Ignatius adds our need for God's grace. We aren't resolving to perfect ourselves by the force of our own will. We are resolving to open ourselves to God's grace through awareness of where we need His grace.
At the foundation of The Examen is gratitude. Ignatius knew that our awareness of God's goodness would keep our relationship with God healthy. And if our relationship with God is healthy, our relationships with others and ourselves will be healthy also.
As we work our way through the steps of The Examen we prayerfully review our thoughts, feelings, and actions for today. Our goal is to become aware of hidden motivations that cause the behaviors that need changing. When we become aware of the unconscious motivations that interfere with our healthy intentions, we will be less likely to be dragged into the thoughts, feelings or actions that we want to avoid.
To begin our time of Examen we will set aside a few minutes alone with God. I prefer to do my Examen at the end of the day, just before bed. Some like to do the Examen twice a day, once at lunchtime and then again at the end of the day.
In my version of The Examen there are three steps. Now let's breath in and prayerfully, slowly begin.
Step 1: Ask God to bring to your awareness the moment today for which you are most grateful.
- If you could relive one moment, which one would it be?
- When were you most able to give and receive love today?
- Ask yourself what was said and done in that moment that made it so good.
- Breath in the gratitude you felt and receive life again from that moment.
Step 2: Ask God to bring to your awareness the moment today for which you are least grateful.
- When were you least able to give and receive love today?
- Ask yourself what was said and done in that moment that made it so difficult.
- Relive the moment and the feelings without trying to change or fix them in any way.
- Take deep breaths and let God's love fill you just as you are.
Step 3: Give thanks for what you have experienced. If possible, share these two moments with a friend.
The recovery community has a slogan, "One Day at a Time" by which they mean that sobriety isn't achieved in a big resolution, but by trying to stay sober for one day – today.
It's useful to look at our spiritual life in that same way… one day at a time. In The Examen we are only looking at today, asking God to reveal to us areas where we failed and where we didn't, where we loved and where we didn't. Going forward we prayerfully expect tomorrow for God to graciously give us the desire to change and the power to carry it out.

BURNS FLAT, Okla. – A woman has been sentenced to 27 years in prison after she was convicted of producing child pornography.
Authorities say 47-year-old Laura Jean Shoulders will not have the possibility of parole and will have to register as a sex offender when she is released from prison.
According to court records, Shoulders met a man through the Craigslist personal ads in 2012.
Click here for the original story.
The pair exchanged sexually explicit photographs before their conversations turned to the subject of child pornography.
Authorities say Shoulders sent the man three videos of herself performing sex acts with a 1-year-old child, whom she was babysitting.
The man then distributed the videos to others online.
Shoulders pled guilty to the charges last year.

© 2020 American Occupational Therapy Association
OBJECTIVE. More is known about the experience of occupational therapists than the experience of patients during the profession's early years. We examined soldiers' experiences of occupational therapy in American Base Hospital 9 in France during World War I through analysis of a 53-line poem by Corporal Frank Wren contained in the unpublished memoir of occupational therapy reconstruction aide Lena Hitchcock.
METHOD. Historical documentary research methods and thematic analysis were used to analyze the poem, the memoir, and the hospital's published history.
RESULTS. The poem describes the activities engaged in during occupational therapy, equipment used, and the context of therapy. It articulates positive dimensions of the experience of engaging in activities, including emotional benefits, diversion, and orthopedic benefits.
CONCLUSION. Previous historical research has identified core philosophical premises about the use of occupational therapy; in this article, the enactment of these principles is established through the analysis of a soldier's account of receiving occupational therapy.

Dutch sorghum - Tropical crop can replace maize as animal feed 1
Grass and maize dominate Dutch cattle feed. But now a newcomer has appeared: sorghum. Feed specialist Gerrit Kasper is working on turning this cereal crop from the tropics into a regular fixture in Dutch fields.
photo's Guy Ackermans
On the outskirts of Woudenberg on this first Tuesday of October, a cereal crop is being harvested on the land of farmer Van de Vliert. But don't expect a harvest festival. Heavy drizzle has turned it into a somewhat depressing exercise. Gerrit Kasper, an animal feed researcher at Wageningen Livestock Research, is busy bringing in the sorghum from his trial fields. That is manual labour: Kasper collects the sorghum that his colleague Henk Schilder saws off just above the ground with an electrical hedge trimmer. It seems rather amateurish but there is no room for larger machinery on plots measuring 6 by 2.5 metres.
Soil depletion
The cultivation of sorghum is a new phenomenon in Dutch fields. There are a few experiments going on here and there (see inset) but no large-scale production for animal feed as yet. But that will eventually happen if Kasper has anything to do with it. He sees sorghum as a good alternative to maize.
Maize was successfully introduced in the Netherlands about 60 years ago. Farmers are very happy with it, says Kasper. 'It's a good crop in terms of energy yields, but the protein content could be higher.' There are other downsides to maize as well. 'The crop isn't very good for the soil. Growing maize over a long period gradually reduces the quality of the soil. Monocultures in Brabant and the Achterhoek region in particular suffer from this problem. So we started to look for an alternative, a third animal feed crop for dairy farming alongside maize and grass. Sorghum could be that crop.'
Long roots
Sorghum's big advantage according to Kasper is that it puts down deep rootst that are finely meshed. While maize's finer roots get down to about 60 to 80 centimeters, sorghum makes two metres. 'What's more, the root system is much finer and denser, which has a positive effect on the soil structure. The roots that remain behind also sequester more CO2 in the soil. As a result, sorghum does more to combat climate change than maize.
From the perspective of soil quality, sorghum has another plus side too: it makes better use of nitrogen fertilizers than maize. Kasper: 'Maize does not take up all the nitrogen that is added, so some leaches into the soil as nitrate. In comparison with maize, sorghum leaves little or no nitrate behind in the second part of the growing season. The water boards in particular are very interested in sorghum for precisely that reason.' Sorghum also suffers a lot less from disease than maize and needs a quarter less water. Those are useful characteristics in a time of climate change and dry summers like we had this year.
(text continues below picture)
Busy demo day
That is the theory based on research in other parts of the world. But it all still has to be demonstrated for Dutch fields. Trials in Woudenberg (Utrecht), Wijnandsrade (Limburg) and Oldeboarn (Friesland) will provide the initial answers. The soaking wet plots in Woudenberg have been planted with five varieties of sorghum, with maize as the control. The plants are in sandy soil. The experiment here focuses on the effect sorghum has on the moisture content of the soil and nitrate leaching. In the Limburg loess, the effect of different amounts of fertilizer is being studied and in the peat soil of Friesland the main topic is tillage. Each project has its own sponsors: local water boards, the provincial authority, a local water supply company, an experimental farm or an area organization.
The recent demo day in the Woudenberg trial fields attracted 75 attendees, including a lot of farmers. So there is clearly interest. But it takes more to get the fields full of sorghum. Sowing is one area of concern, for example. Sorghum seeds are ten times smaller than maize seeds. What tillage methods and machinery do you need to sow something that small? Sorghum is also more susceptible to sub-zero temperatures than maize. Kasper: 'That is why this cereal needs to be sown three to four weeks later than maize. It also grows more slowly than maize. The crop comes from the tropics, where the days in the growing season are shorter than they are here. So we still need plant breeding to adapt it to longer days.'
Milk yield
The sorghum in the Woudenberg fields is fed straight into the chopper on site. Part of the sorghum pulp will be measured in Wageningen to determine the amounts of dry matter, protein, lignin, starch, sugar and energy. Another part will be turned into silage to get an impression of feed losses during the silage process. This is also in preparation for the next stage of the research: a consumer survey. If they can get the funding, a three-year programme will show how cows digest the tropical crop. And most importantly, what effect it has on milk yields.
Guinea corn
Sorghum – (Sorghum bicolor) or Guinea corn – is a grass-like cereal that originated in Africa. In the 17th century, African slaves brought it to the United States where it is now cultivated on a large scale as animal feed and an alternative to maize. Sorghum is an important food crop in Africa, Central America and South Asia, and it is the fifth most cultivated cereal crop. The Dutch also call it 'kaffer' corn: 'kaffer' is an insulting name for the Bantu people of South Africa.
Sorghum pioneers
Wageningen Livestock Research is not the first to investigate the potential of sorghum as animal feed. The real pioneer is the Zeeland farmer and retired plant scientist Walter de Milliano, who has been breeding sorghum for cultivation in the Netherlands since 2005. Some of the varieties Livestock Research uses come from De Milliano. The Louis Bolk Institute, which Livestock Research is also collaborating with, has been experimenting with sorghum cultivation for about six years. Their experiments show that sorghum produces five to ten percent more protein than maize. Stopping maize cultivation for one year to grow sorghum increases the next maize yield by seven percent.

Introduction: Easy-to-make Paper Biplane Glider
This is an airplane of my own design which is a variant of the standard paper plane with bottom wings. This is quite easy to make and glides really well.
If you make this please post a comment. If you like this then check out my other Instructables.
Step 1: The Fuselage
This is almost like making a normal plane but with a small twist. first, fold it in the middle as usual. Then here comes the twist. Instead of folding the corners in, about a centimeter from the middle fold, fold the two sides into each other. Then fold them back at the middle line. I would suggest using glue. It should look like in picture 3. Then fold the two large bits down again and make a paper plane the normal way, by folding the corners in, folding them in again, folding it in together, then folding the wings.
Step 2: The Thrower
To make the thrower cut a slit in the center hole, Then cut two slits in the fuselage just below the wings. Fold up some paper into a flat bar about a centimeter in width and then cut a little along the fold. Fold the two tabs you will have created down. The tabs go in the slits you have cut below the wing and the main thrower goes in the slit you cut along the middle fold. I would suggest gluing this. Then cut off the tab but make sure there is enough for you to hold on to. your biplane is done!
Step 3: Throwing the Biplane
Hold on to the thrower and chuck it gently. The longer you hold onto it when throwing the longer it will fly. But make sure the wings are horizontal at all times. I had to put two paperclips onto the nose to get it to fly properly! This is just a fun little plane to let your children fly, (and you can fly it, of course.)

Not to be unkind but I'm missing a LOT on this one. A bi-plane typically has two wings one above the other. Regardless, I don't get the folding: when I look at what I think is the bottom of the fuselage I see four longitudinal folds all the same way and not very precise. Later under Step 2 I see a kind of gouge in the paper - or maybe a wad of glue.
Please refine this a bit (many more pictures would help) and I'll attempt to make it - then decide whether to vote for it.
I have refined it. comment if you have any other questions
This bi-plane does have two wings, in the last picture of step one you can see the bottom wing. then the gouge is a cut for the thrower because the bottom wing is right at the bottom, so the thrower is pushed through and secured by holes on the side. I will start working on refining.

Dear Team Managers and Captains
It has come to our attention that some of your team members have been parking their vehicles in the SDBA dragon boat storage yard for the past several weeks when they attend dragon boat training and recreational sessions.
SDBA strongly urges you to inform them to note seriously that at no time has parking been permitted here as this is a working dragon boat storage yard. Their inconsiderate action when parking their vehicles illegally, have hampered the movement of dragon boats. They must also note that if a car or motorcycle is damaged as a result of parking within the boatyard, liability falls upon the vehicles owner.
ONCE AGAIN PARKING OF ALL KINDS OF VEHICLES IN THE BOATYARD AT ANY TIME IS DEFINITELY NOT ALLOWED AND IS ILLEGAL. Members may drop off and pick up paddlers and/or equipment, but they must move their vehicles to the relevant public car parks.
You have to understand that when dragon boat teams carry and try to manoeuvre their 40-feet long dragon boats to get past any parked vehicles blocking the pathway, accidental contacts with these illegally parked vehicles within the boatyard will occur. Movements of dragon boats must be free of obstructions.
Your team members should use the car park in front of Kallang MRT or at the Sports Hub car park. The Singapore Dragon Boat Association will be working with Sport Singapore and the respective Government Agency to carry out enforcement with immediate effect.
Photographs will be taken of vehicles that are parked illegally in the dragon boat storage yard and will be forwarded to the Agency concerned for action to be taken, if this behaviour continues. Offenders have their pictures attached on the right.
We would appreciate it if you could assist to disseminate the information to your team members immediately.
Attached are some photos of vehicles that had parked illegally at the SDBA dragon boat storage yard for the last 3 weekends.
Thank you for your assistance.

"Any money spent on building the 'Great Wall' will be paid back by Mexico" – Donald Trump Insists
U.S. Peesident-elect Donald Trump has insisted that Mexico would pay for the border wall and refuted reports to the contrary.
Trump, in a tweet on Friday, lashed out at the media for reports suggesting he was going back on a campaign vow to make Mexico pay for a border wall with the U.S.
Trump called the reports "dishonest" and suggested the U.S. would only be putting up money for the "sake of speed" — and vowed Mexico would eventually pay it back.
"The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later!" Trump tweeted.
His tweet suggested that Mexico would reimburse American taxpayers for any money Washington spends up front.
There are reports that Trump is considering a plan to ask Congress to ensure money is available in U.S. coffers for the wall, while relying on existing law that already authorises fencing and other technology along the southern border.
The funding development was reportedly a reversal by Trump on his promise to stick Mexico with the bill.
Senior adviser Kellyanne Conway confirmed on "Fox & Friends" that Trump wants Mexico to pay back any costs shouldered by the U.S. and that he was not going back on his promise.
"He is going to build that wall, and Mexico is going to pay for it. That has not changed," Conway insisted.
It remains unclear how the Trump administration would compel Mexico to pay, as America's southern neighbour has shown no intention of doing so.
In the near-term, the push to rely on existing law authorising a border fence could stave off a legislative fight that Trump might lose if he tried to get Congress to pass a measure authorising the kind of border wall he promised during the campaign.
Trump's vow to build an impenetrable, concrete wall along the southern border was his signature campaign proposal.
"Build the wall!" supporters would chant at his rallies.
"Who's going to pay for it?" Trump would ask them and they would respond: "Mexico!"
Trump often promised the wall would be built of hardened concrete, rebar and steel as tall as his venues' ceilings, and would feature a "big, beautiful door'' to allow legal immigrants to enter.
Most experts viewed such promises as unrealistic and impractical, and Trump himself sometimes allowed that the wall would not need to span the entire length of the border, thanks to natural barriers like rivers.
However, after winning the election, the incoming president said he would be open to stretches of fencing.

Bella, you may want to post an article about the declassified intelligence briefing released by CIA and FBI today (this is the briefing ordered by Obama on Russian hacking).
This declassified report endorsed by the CIA and FBI says and I quote: "Russian President Vladmir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election. Russia's goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump"
***cue various Trump lovers claiming to know more than the CIA.
The Trump lovers will soon come out and tell you that all is not what it seems. You know they all possess this otherwordly gift of discernment. What scares me the most is that Trump seems to put himself before country. Because I don't understand how a soon to be president publicly discredits his intelligence community. I'm low-key hoping that his supporters saw something that most of us missed.
Congress will never pass it. Im just LMAO at all the minions he used to get himslf elected. Truth be told the guy is a true politician lying his ass off just to get elected , targetting the intellectually vunerable. Coaxing them out of their holes with bizzare promises that got sane people worried. Well they got him in maybe we gon keep him in. LMAO!!!!!! Just imagining their dumb disappointed faces.

In the previous page on stellar motion, you learned how to calculate a star's position over short time periods. Here's how you can figure out what the sky will look like for millions of years into the past or the future.
To calculate stellar motion accurately, you need to know the star's velocity through space accurately. In particular, you need to know the star's motion in three dimensions, whereas proper motion only provides a 2-dimensional "projection" of the star's motion. Doing the calculations to get 3-dimensional motions is more involved, but well worth it in the end.
If you know any programming language, writing these formulas in it, and packaging the whole set of calculations up into a single program, is an enormous time saver.
First, look up the three conventional space velocity components:
If the radial velocity is missing, you can use a value of 0 in all the calculations that follow. This is very similar to the linear extrapolation described in the previous page. As already noted, accuracy over very long times (t > ~ 10000 years) will suffer badly, however. If you're a real stickler for accuracy, you'll probably want to avoid this problem and either ignore that star or look for its radial velocity in another catalog.
If either of the proper motion values is missing, you're out of luck. Either find another catalog or ignore that particular star.
You will also need:
If the catalog gives distances in light years, divide the distance by 3.262 to get parsecs. If the catalog only gives a parallax , convert it to distance by using the parallax formula = 1 / d. Parallaxes less than about 0.01 arcsecond in older catalogs, or 0.001 arcsecond in the Hipparcos Catalog, are usually poor, and should be used with caution. If the parallax is zero, missing, or negative, the parallax for that star is very bad, and you shouldn't even bother trying to calculate its 3D motions at all.
Make sure the two components of proper motion are in the same units. For this calculation, you want both components to be in seconds of arc per year. As with the "short term" calculations, you may encounter in seconds of right ascension rather than seconds of arc. Recall that for the "short term" calculations, you wanted it in that form. For the "long term" calculations, that's not generally the case. We're actually going to figure out the star's velocity in three dimensions, and you determine linear velocities by starting with the angular velocities in conventional units, like seconds or minutes of arc. So, if your catalog gives in seconds of right ascension, convert it to seconds of arc by:
Now you must convert the proper motion units, which are angular units, to linear velocities: the two components of the transverse velocity, vT, of the star. To make these velocities consistent with the radial velocity, you'll want to convert them into km/sec. Use these two relationships to do this:
Transverse velocity in right ascension: vTA(km/s) = (arcsec/yr) * d * 4.740;
Transverse velocity in declination: vTD(km/s) = (arcsec/yr) * d * 4.740
Multiplying the proper motions, which are angular velocities, by the star's distance gives a linear velocity, which is what you want for the transverse velocity. The factor of 4.740 converts the result to km/sec.
Soon you will use these velocities to calculate the change in position of a star over time. However, these velocities, as calculated, can be hard to work with. First, their orientation in space will vary from star to star. vTD, for example, points towards the celestial poles if the star has a declination of zero, but points 90 degrees away from the poles if the star is at a pole. It's generally easier to transform these to Cartesian velocities (i.e., components along some consistent set of xyz axes). Use the same coordinate system as the one described on the stellar positions page:
Now you can get Cartesian velocity coordinates vx, vy, and vz in terms of the three velocities vR, vTA, and vTD. Here are the equations to do this. They're ugly, but important. If you can, stick 'em in a short computer program:
The Cartesian velocities retain the units of the originals, so they're in km/sec. For interstellar motions, it's more appropriate to express distances in terms of parsecs rather than km, and times in terms of years rather than seconds. A natural unit for interstellar motion calculations, therefore, is parsecs per year. To convert km/sec to pc/yr, divide by 977,780.
Get the three Cartesian coordinates for the star, as described in the stellar positions section. Make sure your units are consistent with the velocities -- in this case, after the final conversion, velocities in parsecs per year and distances in parsecs. Using the same coordinate system:
where subscript 0 indicates time = 0 (i.e., the present).
To calculate new positions at time = t, i.e., xt,
yt, zt), you need to know how the stars move. For the time frames we're interested in (a few thousand to perhaps a million years), stellar motion is pretty much linear -- stars are too far apart for gravity to curve their paths appreciably. Therefore after an amount of time t:
You now have the xyz coordinates for the star for any time t. Now you can go and plot them on a chart and amaze your friends!
You will probably be interested in plotting the star's new position(s) on a star chart of some sort. Since star charts designed for use on Earth use equatorial coordinates (right ascension and declination ) regularly, convert the Cartesian coordinates to them. This calculation is essentially identical to the calculation of spherical coordinates in the section on calculating star positions from other stars:
As with the spherical coordinate , the right ascension can be in any of the four quadrants. Either use ATAN2(yt, xt), or bring the value you get for into the correct quadrant "manually". Then convert into hours by dividing the result in degrees by 15.
Over a few thousand years, a star's motion generally doesn't change its brightness very much. However, with these calculations, which are highly accurate even over millions of years, you can show that many stars will get measurably brighter or fainter.
First, look up the star's apparent magnitude, V, as seen from Earth. Any catalog that gives distance and motion data will include this. Then, do the following calculations:
The calculation is identical to the one for calculating the brightness of a star as seen from a different reference point in space -- a given change in distance to a star, whether it's the observer that moves or the star, yields the same effect on brightness.
This all sounds very involved. It is. However, the results are a lot of fun. As a concrete example, let's look at the star Arcturus, which is one of the brightest stars in the sky, and also one of the fastest-moving.
The coordinates, magnitude, distance, and proper motions for Arcturus are from the Hipparcos catalog. The radial velocity is from the Gliese Catalog of Nearby Stars, 3rd edition:
First grind through the ugly equations full of trig formulas:
Then convert the velocities to parsecs / year:
Let's see where Arcturus is fifty thousand years from now.
Convert this back to equatorial coordinates:
Checking -- with y and x both negative, must be in the third quadrant (180 - 270 degrees), so add 180 to bring it to the correct quadrant:
Finally, get Arcturus's new distance and magnitude:
Checking a star chart at = 13.343 hours, and = -7.05 degrees, we find that Arcturus has moved into the constellation Virgo, about four degrees north of the current position of the bright star Spica. Here's a star chart showing where Arcturus is in fifty thousand years; its total motion is almost thirty degrees, roughly equal to the length of the Big Dipper. If Spica -- which moves much more slowly than Arcturus -- does not move appreciably in this time, observers fifty thousand years from now will have a pretty naked-eye double star in their skies there!

Police to Conduct Alcohol Compliance Checks of Burlington Businesses
By: Rich Hosford
The Burlington Police will once again be working to ensure that minors are not sold alcohol in town.
Chief Michael Kent said the department will be conducting alcohol compliance checks at local establishments licensed to sell alcohol in the upcoming months.
"These periodic compliance checks are meant to prevent the illegal sale and consumption of alcohol to minors by ensuring that businesses are following the law," Chief Kent said. "We sincerely hope that all of our license holders are found to be in compliance."
According to the release, lawful alcohol compliance checks are vital in ensuring that establishments obey the laws pertaining to the sale of alcohol, especially with regard to underage drinking. Alcohol consumption by minors has a profound effect on the community and is related to motor vehicle crashes, crime, poor performance in school, and a number of other behaviors that could have an adverse impact on the quality of life in town.
It appears the checks and subsequent punitive measures enacted by the Board of Selectmen do make a difference. In 2014, nine restaurants failed the checks and all had their liquor license revoked for at least one day. In December of 2015 police announced that all the establishments checked had passed.
"The Burlington Police Department would like to thank the community for their continued efforts and support," the release states.

Some days all you can do is take five.
My week began with a death in the family. Not unexpected, but still a sad time.
I'm finding that the older I get the funerals tend to hit me harder and put me into a funk. Not the best way to get things going for the week.
I took care of my critical tasks that morning and then started to veg out on the coach. I didn't like that feeling so I tried to figure out one 5-minute action I could take to help me move forward.
I had a plan to take down a bed in our second bedroom to convert that over to my office. I need a little more separation from home and work to keep that balance going strong on both sides.
Since I am selling the bed I decided to start there. I'll take it down and get it ready for them to pick it up this week.
Well then I had the table and chairs (a cute little pub table set) that I was going to use in the new office space. So I started to lug that upstairs.
I did give in and left the table for my better half to get upstairs. I am stronger, but sometimes you have to set your limits. 🙂 This was one of mine.
The room needed to be dusted and vacuumed so I did that. Then the curtains were taken down and thrown in the washer.
I decided I liked the windows without the curtains because it allowed for more natural light in the room. So I began a search for new valances. A whole new look was quickly taking shape.
We'd been talking about shelves for the office space for awhile, but didn't take any action yet. I researched what we needed and made my list for IKEA.
$79 to ship it or drive up there to West Chester. We decided it would be best to drive up there when it wasn't as busy. Good choice…I was up and back within 90 minutes.
Now we have what we need to finish up the new office, and we'll be good to go with organizing our games and books with the new shelves.
I love having my office up here to separate what I do from where I live. I am available for clients to meet their schedules. That's a priority for me as a client-centered coach.
But I also need to shut down and not be working 24/7…even though I could easily do that. I love what I do.
Balance is important. This new setup will add to my systems and schedule so that I am more effective with my use of time.
I'll also get more steps when I want to grab something to eat!!!
All of this took place over the last three days because I started with that one 5-minute action to help me deal with my grief. Things tend to gain momentum once you get started.
Even when you don't feel like doing it…do it. It's a much better option than sitting in front of the TV with a bag of chips or bowl of ice cream.
You'll be amazed when you look back to see what's taken shape for you!
Let me know if you'd like to chat about a 5-minute action. It's the first, most basic habit to develop. And you'll come back to it many, many times once you've mastered it.

Chinese banking brands join the world's top 10
Four Chinese brands are now in the top 10 of the most-valuable banking brands, with ICBC topping the table, according to a recent report released by Brand Finance, a London-based brand valuation consultancy. Five years ago, there were none.
"Chinese brands were once the minnows of our global studies while Japanese, European, and particularly US brands dominated the rankings," said Alex Haigh, director of Brand Finance. "However, in 2012 President Xi Jinping called on Chinese companies to start a trend of 'Branded in China', rather than simply 'Made in China' and since then China has been the rising dragon of our studies."
In 2014, Xi said China should have its own flagship products and establish its own world-renowned brands, believing that the future of China's industry went beyond manufacturing, and that focus had to move to the promotion of China's own products.
Xi's emphasis on brands is paying dividends. Not only have Chinese brands improved their ranking in international league tables, but the value of China's 100 most valuable brands has more than tripled in the last five years, from $266 billion in 2012 to $823 billion in 2017.
ICBC is China's most-valuable brand, with its value growing 32 percent year-on-year to $47.8 billion. Its growth has been so strong that it has overtaken US bank Wells Fargo to become the world's most valuable banking brand.
Haigh said China's brands have a number of common attributes. The first is scale, with China's vast population and the growing prosperity of its citizens creating a huge market for its major brands, he said.
"Cultural factors are just as significant as macroeconomic ones because Chinese consumers have a relationship with their brands that Western brands can only dream of," Haigh added.
Despite the tremendous growth in developing global brands, pundits saidChina remains behind the Westin some areas.
"It is not a matter of just becoming well-known but also admired and wanted," said Paul Temporal, a global expert on brand creation and an associate fellow at Oxford University's Said Business School.
Temporal argued that there is a difference between a global business and a global brand, adding that the key difference between weak and powerful brands is the strength of the emotional relationship between the brand and consumers, given everything being equal on the rational product side.
He said Chinese businesses need to learn techniques in creating powerful emotional connections with consumers, something that has been successfully employed by Western brands.

oa Prototype Positive Control Wells for Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests: Prospective Evaluation of Implementation Among Health Workers in Lao People's Democratic Republic and Uganda
Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are widely used for malaria diagnosis, but lack of quality control at point of care restricts trust in test results. Prototype positive control wells (PCW) containing recombinant malaria antigens have been developed to identify poor-quality RDT lots. This study assessed community and facility health workers' (HW) ability to use PCWs to detect degraded RDTs, the impact of PCW availability on RDT use and prescribing, and preferred strategies for implementation in Lao People's Democratic Republic (Laos) and Uganda. A total of 557 HWs participated in Laos (267) and Uganda (290). After training, most (88% to ≥ 99%) participants correctly performed the six key individual PCW steps; performance was generally maintained during the 6-month study period. Nearly all (97%) reported a correct action based on PCW use at routine work sites. In Uganda, where data for 127,775 individual patients were available, PCW introduction in health facilities was followed by a decrease in antimalarial prescribing for RDT-negative patients ≥ 5 years of age (4.7–1.9%); among community-based HWs, the decrease was 12.2% (P < 0.05) for all patients. Qualitative data revealed PCWs as a way to confirm RDT quality and restore confidence in RDT results. HWs in malaria-endemic areas are able to use prototype PCWs for quality control of malaria RDTs. PCW availability can improve HWs' confidence in RDT results, and benefit malaria diagnostic programs. Lessons learned from this study may be valuable for introduction of other point-of-care diagnostic and quality-control tools. Future work should evaluate longer term impacts of PCWs on patient management.
