DEAR ABBY: I come from a large family. We are not wealthy but always loved dressing our children up for holidays. Because the outfits were expensive, as our children outgrew them, we passed them on to my sister-in-law.
When my youngest daughter was born, I asked her about the dresses, and she informed me they were not her style so she had given them away. I was heartbroken, but I never said anything.
My older daughter is not a practicing Catholic, and my younger daughter is not having children at all. I saved their christening gowns, but they don't want them. I would love to pass them on to another family member so they can be used instead of sitting in a trunk, but I don't want them to leave the family or be sold. Is it OK to put stipulations on something you are passing on? — UNSURE IN NEW JERSEY
DEAR UNSURE: You can stipulate whatever you like, but there is no guarantee that the garments will remain in the family. Once a gift is given, it becomes the property of the recipient to keep or dispose of.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: If someone did something "nice" for you, but it turned out to cause such a hassle that you didn't appreciate the gesture, how do you politely tell the person not to do it again, or that you wish they hadn't?
An example: Someone gives you a box of chocolates or cupcakes when you are trying to lose weight. Or, the baby sitter folds all the clothes that were sitting in the laundry basket, but puts everything away in the wrong drawers. (And you didn't ask her to fold the laundry in the first place.) — DON'T DO IT AGAIN
DEAR DON'T: Here's how. Thank the person for the thoughtful gesture and explain that you are watching your diet, cannot have candy and won't be able to for the foreseeable future. If the person is someone who cares about you and is not a saboteur, he or she won't tempt you again without asking first.
As for your baby sitter, while you thank her for trying to help you by folding and putting away your laundry, explain that this isn't something anyone can do for you because you have your own way of doing it, and please not to do it again.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: I am writing this to relieve a heavy burden I have carried for many years. I'm 16 and have had a crush on this girl since I was 9. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her, and have never gotten over it.
I have always had a problem expressing my feelings. I have been very shy from the day I was born. Now that I'm older, I have more confidence and have lost most of my shyness. What should I do after years of barely talking to her? — NOT SO SHY ANYMORE
DEAR NOT SO SHY ANYMORE: Now that you have more confidence, start talking to her. You don't have to declare your love in the first conversation, but her reaction will tell you if she wants to have some sort of relationship with you, even if it's only friendship — and that's an auspicious beginning.

Marine biodiscovery from Floridian mangrove forests and Irish waters
Soldatou, Sylvia

Natural products have been used since ancient times to treat illnesses and terrestrial organisms have been studied extensively from a chemical point of view. Marine organisms, on the other hand are definitely understudied compared to plants due to their difficult accessibility. However, technological advancements have made it possible for scientist to reach and sample from tropical waters to the deepest points of the world's oceans. Ever since the discovery of spongouridine and spongothymidine, marine natural products have gained interest within the drug discovery community. The chemistry they produce has been shown beneficial for human health with many examples of marine-related compounds that made it into the market as potent drugs for severe diseases. This thesis is demonstrating the importance of marine microbes, corals and algae as a source of secondary metabolites and emphasis is also given on their biological activity. In particular, Chapter 2 is describing in detail the chemical investigation of an endophytic fungus isolated from a Floridian red-mangrove tree. As part of a high-throughput screening project which involved numerous fungal extracts that were screened against the ESKAPE pathogens, an Alternaria sp. isolate was chemically investigated. Bioassay-guided isolation of the fungal extract yielded a suite of new and known secondary metabolites which belong to the benzofuran (2.16-2.18) and benzopyrone (2.20) families and exhibited weak anti-MRSA activity. Part B of this thesis is focusing on the great unexplored potential of Irish Waters as source of new chemistry. Chapter 3 explores polyhalogenated monoterpenes produced by an Irish Plocamium cartilagineum sample. Six new and known linear and cyclic polyhalogenated monoterpenes were isolated and their structure elucidation process is thoroughly discussed. The cyclic polyhalogenated monoterpenes 3.2 and 3.3 have been previously described but this is the first report of crystal structure elucidation through X-ray analysis. The linear compounds 3.4 and 3.6 represent new polyhalogenated monoterpenes whereas compound 3.7 is a previously reported metabolite but full NMR data were not available until now. The new metabolite 3.4 exhibited significant cytotoxic activity when screened against cervical (HeLa) and pancreatic (MiaPaCa-2) cell lines. The next chapter, Chapter 4, investigates a deep-sea coral identified as Primona sp. which was collected in the Whittard canyon from various depths. A mixture of at least two ceramides (4.1) was isolated. Finally, Chapter 5 is focusing on the construction of a microbial library from Irish marine bacterial and fungal endosymbionts. One thousand seven hundred and fifty (1 750) endosymbiotic microbial strains were isolated from Irish algae, invertebrates and sediment samples. Priority was given to the fungal endosymbiotic isolates and each colony was cultured in a control treatment as well as in the presence of HDAC and DNMT inhibitors. More than fungal 1 200 extracts were screened against the ESKAPE pathogens and 10.8% of those showed antibacterial activity. The majority of the active extracts exhibited selective activity against only one of the ESKAPE pathogens. Interestingly, only 14 fungal cultures showed antimicrobial activity and for the majority of them only one treatment (control, HDAC or DNMT) was found active indicating that the each treatment should be treated as an independent sample/extract.

Designer Donna Karan Injures Knee
New York, N.Y. April 3, 2002 (AP)--Fashion designer Donna Karan is doing some mending of her own after injuring her knee while helicopter skiing.
The accident happened Friday in Idaho's Sun Valley. Karan returned to New York on Sunday and had surgery Monday, said spokeswoman Patti Cohen.
The designer will need extensive physical therapy and will be on crutches for at least six weeks, Cohen said, but overall, Karan is ``doing well.''
Helicopter skiing--which allows people to take chopper rides to normally unreachable peaks for skiing on pristine snow--may sound dangerous, but Cohen said Karan wasn't doing anything risky.
``She's a very good skier,'' Cohen said. ``A fluke accident even can happen in line waiting for a chairlift.''
Karan is recovering at her Manhattan apartment. Cohen expects her to work from home for a while but said Karan likely will return to her office soon?using crutches as accessories.

Having a good woman by your side as your girlfriend is always nice.
In fact, it is a dream of every normal man in this world. The right woman is a woman who can make you grow into a better man.
Many men experience failure in relationships because they are too quick to choose, too easily attracted and fall in love with a woman without thinking whether she is worthy or not (of course mistakes committed by ourselves can cause failures too). Below are 10 characteristics of a good woman to be your girlfriend:
1. Supportive
She is a figure who always support you in your life as well as your career and always by your side when the whole world walks out. As we know, our society tend to require a man to be a strong man and not a fragile person, but sadness and stress that come repeatedly will destroy you if you don't vent your feelings. Thus, a good woman can be the best listener by providing support and comfort for you. She also gives you freedom to develop yourself as you want.
2. Independent
This characteristic is important because it means she can manage and take care of herself. It will be very annoying when you have to be her 'babysitter' all the time, right? She can go home by herself when you can't pick her up, she can go shopping by herself when you can't accompany her, and she can rely on herself when you can't help her. Independent woman is a woman who can stand by her own feet and walk alone when you can't be there (of course she still respects you as the leader).
3. Beautiful inside and out
From the outside, she is not a woman like Taylor Swift, Kate Middleton, Megan Fox, or Jessica Alba, but she looks beautiful and attractive in her own way, her simplicity and friendliness. From the inside, you notice that she is a person who has an extraordinary and inspiring personality.
4. Confident
She loves her imperfection, perfectly. She doesn't hurt herself or dying to be famous and beautiful like a movie actress. She doesn't try to be someone else, she is confident of herself and (of course) proud to have you by her side.
5. Respects you
You are the leader and she, as your partner, has respect for you and the decisions you make. She doesn't make you afraid of her and look like a loser. But of course, you have to respect her too by not humiliating and treating her like a slave.
6. Know when to speak and keep quiet
She knows which stories that can be told to her friends and which ones don't. She doesn't like to gossip about your bad things and your relationship. She knows when to speak and listen to your words. She also can speak tenderly (without yelling) when she expresses her opinion to you.
7. Loyal
Someone who's in normal or happy circumstances tend to be a kind person. Don't immediately assume she has a good character when she is in such conditions, just wait until you have some problems. Then you will know her true character and who she really is. Women who are not loyal will turn around and leave you when you face problems, either minor or major ones. While women who are loyal will remain by your side to face the problems together. That's why you need time to evaluate your partner before moving to the next stage of your relationship.
8. Doesn't fall in love with your wealth and social status
In this modern era, money is something that has tremendous appeal. Money can buy positions, power, authorities, even 'love'. Of course they love the money not the person. Although money remains an important thing to think about (you can't eat and shop without money, right?), but a good woman won't put her love on your wealth because she already has something more valuable than money… You. Think about this… Love of money is only temporary because wherever the money goes, that's where her heart is… But love that comes and grows from her heart to you will last for a lifetime. Why? Because wherever you go, that's where her heart is. Do you notice the difference?
9. Simple and down to earth
There was a joke that said, "The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think." It's funny but also true. Women are good market of beauty products by various companies. In fact, MOST of their body parts are good market.. Their hair, face, ears, eyes, hands, fingers, toenails, and so on. Don't be trapped by a high maintenance woman if you can't afford her needs. It's better to choose a simple woman who still looks good with what she got, without requiring too much maintenance. In addition, she is modest and humble in everyday life, she doesn't demand a lot of facilities to indulge herself.
10. Gets into your life
And the last thing is she knows and gets along well with your friends. She also knows your family well, helps your mom to prepare meals, travels with your family, and most importantly she enjoys it all sincerely. When she knows your life well and has a good relationship with your family, then you have a good chance to move into the next relationship stage.

Take some Tylenol before you read the transcript of the Republican debate in Las Vegas last night, filled as it is with gobbledygook about Herman Cain's 9-9-9 tax plan, Mitt Romney's hiring of illegal aliens, Cain's plan to electrocute people crossing the US border, Michele Bachmann's fulminations about "anchor babies," and Rick Perry's musing on whether or not Mormonism is a cult. Woody Allen said it best: the scariest thing is that these people might actually be the GOP's Best and Brightest.
Nevertheless, this column is about their comments on foreign policy.
Perhaps the most striking thing in that forlorn area is that neither Romney nor Perry cared much to weigh in. That left the others in the field, including Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Bachmann and a few others to express themselves with their own curious views. Listening to the answers, and to CNN's Anderson Cooper's less-than-probing questions, you'd never know that that the world is full of crises, from Iraq and Afghanistan to the Middle East, China's rise, Pakistan's collapse, Russia's anti-democratic transition, and so on.
The issue was first raised, not surprisingly in the Republican debate in regard to spending, in this case on defense, when an audience member asked about the idea to "cut defense spending by $500 billion." Bachmann responded all over the place, calling Iran's president "a genocidal maniac," excoriating Iran for its just-revealed plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador, and finally saying, without irony, that if she's elected president, "We will be respected again in the world." To her credit, though Bachmann refused to sound like a typical Republican hawk, saying that "defense spending is on the table" for cuts. More importantly, she raised alarms about the decision this week by President Obama to send US special forces to Uganda to get involved in the brutal wars of Central Africa. "We saw the president of the United States engage American troops in a fourth conflict in a foreign land. This is historic," she said. "He is now putting us in Africa. We already were stretched too thin, and he put our special operations forces in Africa." I agree, Ms. Bachmann.
Gingrich robotically denounced the idea that the Congressional supercommittee will slash hundreds of billions in defense dollars, but he too called himself a hawk, but a "cheap hawk."
Ron Paul reaffirmed his plan to cut defense spending by 15 percent, get out of Afghanistan, close US military bases and more. "We have an empire," he said. "We can't afford it."
There was a great kerfuffle over terrorism and Israel's deal with Hamas to free prisoners, with various candidates rushing to Israel's defense while paradoxically saying that they'd never talk to terrorists. " I mean, you can't negotiate with terrorists, period," said Rick Santorum. Then Santorum went off the deep end, saying something about Iran, that Saudi Arabia is the "leader of the Islamic world," and adding, "We are going to be the supreme leader of the secular world." Supreme leader of the secular world? That's a classic. Ayatollah Khameini, Iran's supreme leader, versus the Great Satan, Supreme Leader of the Secular World.
Perry and Romney finally weighed in on the issue of foreign aid, suggesting that it's time for cuts, a theme that always revs up GOP yahoos. Said Perry, solemnly, "I think it's time for this country to have a very real debate about foreign aid." As if he knows the first thing about it. Romney, sounding like a boring professor, began his response by saying, "Foreign aid has several elements." He likes the military element, and he likes the pro-Israel element." The rest? "We ought to get the Chinese to take care of [those] people."
Paul clashed with Bachmann over cutting aid to Israel (Paul: Yes. Bachmann: Never).
In a bleak landscape, I guess it's good news that neoconservatives and hawks didn't dominate the GOP debate, with little saber-rattling, pledges to invade other countries and warnings about China's rise to dominate the Pacific.

The business license posted says La Mixteca, but otherwise, you'd never know what to call this Roseland pop-up that for the last several months has been setting up shop after the sun goes down on Sebastopol Road in Santa Rosa. But names are irrelevant: the place is great. Tucked beneath a tent and a string of lights in an unused lot near an auto shop, the family in charge cooks up homestyle Mexican dishes—tacos, sopes, enchiladas—all in the cramped confines of an outdoor kitchen.
After ordering, visitors open a sliding glass door to a shed-like room painted a vibrant green; three long, communal tables are filled with families, farmworkers and neighborhood residents, all eating together. On offer is tomatillo sauce, red salsa, onions and cilantro, laid out in bowls upon the tables; drinks are in a self-service fridge. And though the atmosphere is no-frills and casual (after one pays, a seven-year-old daughter makes change), the food is excellent.
The posole is a special treat (above), with soaked maize, chiles and a chunk of carne served in a flavorful soup; cabbage is optional, and the large bowl comes in well under $10. The chile relleno is stuffed liberally with cheese that's notably spicier than most, and served with beans and rice. On a recent night, the place even had fried chicken available.
Amid the chatter of the dining room, the several cars parked diagonally in the driveway and the throng of people gathered to wait for pickup, La Mixteca is looking to be one of Roseland's best pop-ups worth checking out—while it lasts. 1905 Sebastopol Road, Santa Rosa.

First off, this is a copy of my recent blog entry (and a slight modification of my FB status message). But for purposes of discussion in the science section, I shall pull out the actual news item from the bottom, all the way here to the top.
Very recently, a team of physicists from the University of California at Santa Barbara just announced that they have been able to (as a form of "side effect") create 11 new colors of the rainbow using lasers and ion cascades, a report from the Science Daily says, a link to which is here:
Ripping electrons from their cores: Physicists mix two lasers to create light at many frequencies
Now let's read an excerpt from "The Gods of Mars", a novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, part of his John Carter series of novels (yes, in case you only knew about the name John Carter from the recent movie, the John Carter character has been around for ages--well, specifically since 1912, which in fact tells us that this fictitious character is already 100 years old), the adventures of John Carter in Barsoom (Mars).
"The stone worn by the thern who confronted us was of about the same size as that which I had seen before; an inch in diameter I should say. It scintillated nine different and distinct rays; the seven primary colors of our earthly prism and the two rays which are unknown upon Earth, but whose wonderous beauty is indescribable."
Before we continue, I would like to add that I think what Burroughs meant by the term "seven primary colors" are in fact, the seven colors of the rainbow, which we were taught as kids with the funny-sounding yet handy acronym of "ROYGBIV", which stands for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet.
Now, the eminent astronomer Carl Sagan mentions to us, in his book BROCA'S BRAIN, that when he read the John Carter novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs as a kid, try as hard as he might, he couldn't picture these two additional primary colors, and since he believed the full electromagnetic spectrum to be "permanent" and unchanging, that this is another "bending of known physics" that Burroughs did, to satisfy his description of something unearthly, something truly fantastic and beyond the scope of whatever ordinary things we experience here on earth--artistic license or allowance, if you will--when he wrote the novels.
But I can't help but think, especially noting the manner by which Sagan mentioned this fact in the book, that he believed that Burroughs wasn't "trained enough" in the sciences to actually know better. Or was Sagan judging Burroughs too early?
Well, I think in a way, Edgar Rice Burroughs musings wasn't that far from the truth, don't you think?
Now, try it yourself--can you actually picture 11 new hues of the rainbow? While they may not have an actual photo yet of these new colors, primary or not, I think that Burroughs may have had more insight into the matter than previously thought--or was it just a wild guess? You decide.

Celebrity Chefs Spill Their Gravy Secrets
In terms of just food, no holiday is even close to Thanksgiving. It is hands down the best food holiday out there.

In terms of just food, no holiday is even close to Thanksgiving. It is hands down the best food holiday out there. It doesn't matter if you're with the same family members every year, or if you find yourself at a constantly evolving "Friendsgiving" each November, everyone is bringing their A game and preparing their best dish. And sometimes it's hard to compete!
But there is one item that is frequently ignored and rarely perfect… gravy! I can't tell you how many Thanksgiving feasts I've been to where the gravy was just some store-bought junk that left a lot to be desired. So why not be a hero and bring some amazing gravy to your Thanksgiving this year! And who better to tell you the secrets of great gravy that some of the most famous chefs in the world.
If we're talking celebrity chefs, we might as well start with the man himself! But you might be surprised to learn that Ramsay's gravy recipe is actually pretty basic. Start by simmering fresh tomatoes with stock, dry cider, onions, and bacon. Then, once the gravy has reduced and thickened, Ramsay adds his secret ingredient: chopped walnuts!
It may sound like a strange addition to a sauce, but that extra crunch can be a wonderful contrast to the softness of a good turkey.
For those who have been living under a rock for the last decade (or at least don't really watch Food Network all that much), Ina Garten is the Barefoot Contessa herself. Well… she hosts the show Barefoot Contessa on Food Network. You get it.
Back to gravy… if you're a big brandy or Cognac drinker, then you're going to love Garten's gravy recipe! She starts by soaking onions in a hefty amount of butter, and then adds the chicken stock, flour, salt, and pepper. Then things get really fun. She adds either brandy or Cognac and some white wine! Top it off with a tablespoon (or two) of heavy cream and you've got some delicious gravy on your hands that will have your family and friends singing your praise for weeks.
Alton Brown is Food Network royalty. He created and hosts Good Eats, and is also the host of Cutthroat Kitchen and Iron Chef America, along with other mini-series on the network. When it comes to gravy, he relies on one special ingredient that might surprise you… red wine! Many people would assume white wine is the more logical choice for gravy made with chicken stock, but Brown believes combining the stock with red wine helps to better pull all that juicy goodness from the turkey in the roasting pan.
But he reminds anyone that may be following his recipe that the grave will thicken over time and as you serve it, so make sure it's thin and light when still in the pan.
Giana De Laurentiis is another Food Network star thanks to her hit show Giada at Home and has also filled in as an occasional guest co-host on NBC's Today. As far as gravy goes, Giada is sick and tired of the boring and bland gravy that we've all become far too comfortable with. So she's been encouraging people to not be afraid of a little sophistication and decadence.
How exactly does she suggest bringing sophistication and decadence to gravy? One word: truffle! She covers her crispy truffled turkey with truffle butter, and then the gravy that collects below is treated with some truffle salt to bring out more of a hearty, earthy flavor. Sounds delicious!
Surprise, surprise, Tyler Florence is another Food Network star! He has hosted and presented on numerous shows over the years. As for his personal special gravy recipe, he just goes all out on the herbs and garlic. More specifically, the recipe calls for an entire head of garlic and plenty of parsley, thyme, and sage. Along with the classic ingredients of celery, carrots, and onion of course.

Tabitha Brown and Other Black Personalities Focus On Joy Despite Crisis
Happiness is an essential aspect of survival. For many Black influencers, promoting positivity among fans and followers, mainly during crises, is a must—that so-called reminder that there is still light at the end of the darkest tunnel.
Amid the ill effects of the present COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing debates regarding equality and racism, numerous Black celebrities and creators are offering the community a chance to laugh, reconnect, and heal. Tabitha Brown delights her audience with cooking expertise; Kerry Washington showcases yoga as a calming and reflective activity, and Rickey Thompson entrances followers with his dancing moves.
Brown and Her Cooking
The vegan actress provides both her Instagram and TikTok fans with motivational clips. She combines her southern cooking with inspirational narratives. She guides her millions of followers as she demonstrates how to cook a variety of dishes as she simultaneously calms her audience with her trademark expressions, including "'cause that's our business" and "like so, like that."
After her 2-year battle with chronic fatigue and pain, the actress turned to the web, posting motivational videos for fans. "I want to help people," Brown shares in a recent interview. "I think my content has a responsibility to bring light every day, whether it's in laughter, whether it's in inspiration, whether it's through food," she adds.
Thompson and His Dancing Moves
Like Brown, Thompson has millions of followers on social media. He dazzles his fans with various dance clips coupled with relatable rants regarding relevant issues. His videos are bursts of color and gaiety, encouraging everyone to believe that things will soon be okay.
He shares that, after the terrible losses that he and his family encountered, he realized that he could use his voice to influence others. Nowadays, he provides his fans with comic relief through dancing, walking, and self-expression. "As a Black person, our whole journey is trying to keep all our emotions within because we're supposed to be strong, we're supposed to be these tough people," Thompson explains. "But we're also human… What's important is letting other people know you're not in this alone," he continues.
Staying Positive amid Problems
Despite the current difficulties encountered by various Black and colored communities in the country, it is highly important to remain calm and steady. Laughter helps relieve the accumulated stress and pain brought on by the pandemic and increased racism, while motivational talks provide positive guidance on how to make the best of the situation.
Numerous Black influencers and personalities offer various stress relief options online, encouraging others in the community to hold on to each other, although virtually, as we all await the eventual cure to this present pandemic. "So that even if it's for one minute, it's an escape for whatever they have going on in life. They can laugh a little bit or cry if they need to, but they just feel like they have somebody at that moment," Brown asserts.
Indeed, we may all be grappling with various issues at the moment, but hope must spring eternal as survival can only be possible for those who remain steadfast, strong, and happy.
How To Determine A Food-Friendly Wine
The language of wine can be romantic, mystifying, or nonsensical — sometimes all at once. Experts share their experience and research for some wines and winery in answering the question: "What makes a wine food-friendly?". Some people are dependent on wine names and might seem self-evident, but frequently, they get deceived.
"Food-friendly" is a common description that should seem obvious, but what does it mean?
Most people would say that wine is meant to be consumed with food. However, we usually drink wines as cocktails, or on their own, without thinking about what we eat to match the wine mood. Sometimes, people also enjoy them as trophies, for the experience of tasting a rare, expensive wine. In these contexts, food doesn't matter. Wine is the highlight.
The concept of a "food wine" became a derogatory — a wine that didn't taste good on its own and needed food as a counterbalance for its flaws. That's not what we mean today by describing a wine as "food-friendly."
- Every good wine will be friendly with at least some food. A positively food-friendly wine plays nicely with a broad category of foods, from sweet to savory to spicy, from meat to fish to veggies.
"I've had A-plus perfect pairings, where every note in the wine and dish sync and amplify each other, but those are rare experiences, and I don't think they are the point most of the time," says Matt Stamp, a master sommelier who used to try to orchestrate such pairings at the French Laundry in Yountville, in Napa Valley.
- Along with Rosé, Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Barbera are wines noted for their acidity and versatility with food. This can result in surprising pairings. Beef braised in Riesling is a traditional German dish, and pinot noir makes an exciting partner to sushi, roast chicken, pork, or grilled salmon.
- When in doubt at home or in a restaurant, look for these types of wines for challenging food pairings or find some bubbles, the second characteristic that defines food-friendly wines. Bubbles go with everything. The sparkling wine's enthusiasm effectively cleanses your mouth and prepares you for the next bite of food or a sip of wine. Sparkling wines also manage to be refreshingly acidic. We do ourselves an offense by relegating champagne and other bubblies drinks, such as Italian prosecco or Spanish cava.
"Champagne can be had throughout a meal, even with the right steak," says Nadine Brown, former sommelier at Charlie Palmer Steak in D.C. "Fried chicken and potato chips with grower champagne is hot right now," Brown says, pointing to the ultimate combo of extravagant wine and poor vittles.
I usually don't agree with the "drink the wine you like with the food you like" school of view because it can be lazy. But if you pay attention to the wines you drink and the foods you pair them with, you'll develop your group of wine styles to draw on when wondering, "What on earth should I drink with this?"
And as Brown advises, "Stay curious." You might find something unique and surprising.
Turn Your Extra Rice Into Something More
Rice is best paired with any of the viands you can think of, whether it's vegetables or meat. It goes so well with anything. Without rice, sometimes, we feel unsatisfied; thus, we still feel hungry. However, you can turn rice into something you want it to be! Fried rice, for example, yet, it is not the basic ones; you can add something into it to make it more delicious and mouth-watering.
Depending on your position, leftover takeout rice can be the bane of your existence or a blessing. For most of us, it's the latter. Extras such as these are the foundation for a superb reinvented supper, namely fried rice.
Fried rice is an excellent weeknight feed, whether you want to extemporize with what's already in your kitchen or have a specific project. Here are some recipes from our archives, which are great as written and easy enough to achieve. They're so great; you might find yourself ending up ordering more rice just to make them.
Fried rice with broccoli and mustard greens
A vegetable-loaded version uses a sharp technique that has you cook the ingredients in steps, which is especially helpful if you don't have a wok or large skillet.
Better than takeout fried rice
Sometimes, there are similarities between what you might get if you ordered fried rice, but we prefer the freshness and crunch of homemade. The ginger and red pepper flakes are making it sound, too.
Sesame fried rice with spring vegetables and egg
Brown rice binds more nourishment into the stir-fry, and fried eggs mean you can mix in a runny yolk for an extra-luxurious texture.
Garlic fried rice (Chahan)
This is for garlic lovers; celebrate because you'll fry a few cloves for this recipe. It calls for short-grain Japanese rice, so here's an ideal recipe for making a cut in any sushi rice you may get.
Vegetable fried rice
This recipe helps you with extra brown rice. Other than that, it will also get you to reinvent those broccoli stems instead of throwing them away or doing the same recipe over and over again.
Quick ham-fried rice with lavender
This is clearly off the hidden path, but the floral flavor plays well with the pork, ginger, and raisins.
Spicy basil tofu fried rice
A stir-fry for one that recommends making a baked marinated tofu for extra flavor and thick texture. You can also swap in plain extra-firm tofu.
African soul fried rice.
Food writer and culinary historian Michael Twitty is the source of this vivid dish that includes traditional or indigenous ingredients to West and Central Africa.
Those are just some of the recipes you may use for converting your plain rice into something more tasty. Avoid food waste, get what you can consume. If we can't avoid leftover foods, let's not leave it. Let's transform it.

Sometimes we get so busy we forget to take care of ourselves, ensuring you're happy in your life is so important. Now and again we have to do things we don't want to and also be around people that we don't exactly agree with. There are so many little habits that a lot of people (myself included) do that can impact on your life in a negative way.
Trying to please everyone
We have all tried to please too many people at once. What you've got to remember is that people are different and have different tastes and opinions. The way I see it, it's impossible to please everyone, and majority of the time you'll end up disappointing people if you have over promised.
I find that some people try to change their opinion on something to make others happy. From my perspective you should never change your option for anyone unless its your decision to do so. This is something I learnt later on after I spent all my time trying to reach everyones expectations and agreeing with them because I thought it would be easier. This doesn't happen anymore, I voice my opinions even if others don't approve of them. Of course, I get into a few disagreements but I'm happy that I've put my option out there and stuck to what I believe.
Fearing change
Whether you like it or not change is a huge part of life, instead of avoiding it you need to learn to embrace it. Things are constantly developing and moving forward so its time to accept things that are out of your control and adapt to the new circumstances.
Living in the past
I used to constantly live in the past and wonder "what if", I finally realised that if you're always living in the past you're not moving forward. Dwelling on past events that are out of your control won't do your health, mentally or physically any good. You need to learn to let go of things that happened and look forward to the future. Who's care's if you made a mistake or didn't get that job you wanted, keep developing yourself and hopefully next time things will turn out how you planned.
Putting yourself down
Now I am no stranger to putting myself down … it used to be a daily occurrence for me. I would moan about my weight or career not being where I wanted it to be, but it didn't get me anywhere. After a while I realised that if I gave myself constructive criticism instead of beating myself up, I would get much further in life. The way I see it is if you're unhappy with something then it's time to be proactive and make a change. Make the changes in your life that will make you wake up and feel happy.
Worrying about where you are in life
Now and again I worry about where I am and where I want to be in 5 years or so. Its good to have a plan but there is no need to be concerned if you aren't as far ahead as others at work for example. Mine isn't so much to do with work rather my personal life, since I haven't or aren't following the "normal" steps in your twenties. Have a partner, apply for a mortgage, get engaged or even start a family. I haven't and don't plan to do any of these things right now, after all I'm still young and don't need to follow the norm. It doesn't matter if you're not doing what everyone else is doing, your life plan could be completely different and that's fine! Although, if you're not where you want to be, what can you do to get you closer to achieving your dreams or ambitions? Make small changes and continually develop and you'll get where you want to be if you put the work in.
Sincerely, Kimberly.

Wal-Mart CEO 'Optimistic' About India Investment Rules
Wal-Mart is hoping that India's government will loosen restrictions on foreign investment after the trade ministry invited views from the industry, Bloomberg News said.
"The opening of dialogue the ministry has initiated is very productive, and I view that as progress," Duke said at a press conference in New Delhi Monday.
Currently, overseas
Loosening the foreign investment rules would help curb inflation and may create 3 million jobs, Duke said today.
India's growing economy and expanding middle class will help increase the country's retail sales by 35% in three years, consultancy AT Kearney said.
AT Kearney ranks India as the third-most attractive market for global retailers among the 30 largest emerging markets.
Duke is currently in India to meet with government officials and visit wholesale stores that Wal-Mart operates with Indian company Bharti Enterprises.

Wenger explains decision over Hayden
Arsene Wenger has explained his decision to allow one of the club's young prospects to leave on a permanent deal this summer.
The Arsenal manager is charged with the task of bringing in new stars to strengthen his squad as well as offloading players who are deemed as not good enough to contribute to the club's future.
After three years as a member of the Gunners' youth ranks and a loan spell at Hull City, Wenger approved a deal for Isaac Hayden to join relegated Newcastle on a five-year deal earlier this month.
The 21-year-old, who failed to make a Premier League appearance, will no longer be representing Arsenal despite being regarded as having "fantastic potential" by Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez.
Thus, Wenger has shed some light on his decision to sell Hayden before of the signing of Rob Holding from Bolton.
"He couldn't get the chance here and I decided to let him go and have an opportunity." Wenger said
"At 21 years of age, you need to play or you stand still – and if you stand still you waste your career.
"He's very intelligent and very good physically as well, he has good strength. I think Newcastle is a good opportunity for him."

Even though summer officially just began with the solstice on June 20, 2016, the kids are out of school, camps and outdoor concerts are in full swing, and it's HOT; so for all practical purposes, we've been enjoying summer for a few weeks now.
Summer is a time for vacations. It's a time to physically and mentally disconnect from the office in order to recharge and reset our minds, spend time making memories with loved ones, and experience things that will enrich our perspectives. Studies show that vacations lower stress and lead to better health; increase creativity and productivity when you return to the office; and lower the chance of burnout, as well. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, though, Americans are taking fewer vacations now than in years past. A 2012 survey by Harris Interactive Inc. found that Americans leave 9.2 days of vacation unused each year. When you consider the benefits of disconnecting, that's a large amount of time to let slip away.
Working in media and also communications and community building, I see how the constant grind and regular exposure to tragic news and negative energy on social media affects me, our citizens, city, and nation. In order to perform at our best, to engage and motivate others, and to lead and make a difference, we must have hope and a positive attitude, though. This is why vacations are just as important to the well-being of an individual and family, as they are to our city. It's also why "news fasts" – time off from the steady stream of news and social media – are vital, as well.
Recently, my friend Dr. Bruce Weinstein (known as The Ethics Guy) wrote an article in The Huffington Post, titled "Stop Watching the News (for Awhile)." In the article he discussed how a vacation and news fast combination worked wonders on his mental health. Understanding the average person checks their smartphone 100-125 times per day and that images and reports of tragic news can have deleterious effects on our health, the real power lies in completely disconnecting. You'll be surprised at how much disconnecting, even if only for a day or two, will improve your outlook, so take a vacation and turn off the social media and news while doing so. Recharge so we can have your best effort to move our city forward!

Original article by L. Busteed. Expanded using information supplied by Hans Ensing
The English truck-maker fated to join the Chrysler family started as Clayton and Company, in 1904. Three years later they started making Karrier cars; in 1920, they changed their name to Karrier Motors Ltd, quickly moving into the truck and bus chassis business.
Karrier's early vehicles were tough, no-frills vehicles, with large load spaces, short length, and powerful engines for tackling Yorkshire hills. The first public service vehicle to climb Porlock Hill, Somerset, was a Karrier bus with 21 passengers and a 50 horsepower engine. Karrier's main customers would be cities and towns.
Karrier, like Commer, produced trucks in World War I for the military — around 2,000 of them during the war. Afterwards, they built a new factory and created a new range of vehicles, by 1924 making 17 different models. In 1926, Karrier built its first purpose-built passenger chassis, which was progressively improved with pneumatic tires and weight reduction.
During the late 1920s, Karrier build numerous six-wheel chassis, two of which were the first vehicles to make a circuit of Australia — running on schedule for 22 weeks through 11,000 miles of harsh terrain.
In 1927, they launched the Super Safety Six Wheel Coach; in 1928, the Karrier-Clough Six Wheel Trolleybus followed. The KWF6, a rigid six-wheeler engineered for "the colonies" and for hard road work, had an eight-ton payload with single sets of wheels on each of three axles.
(Mechanical horses were lightweight, low-powered tractors usually used for local delivery. Their appearance could be similar to standard chassis-cab trucks, though many had three wheels.)
In 1930, Karrier produced a "mechanical horse" design, the Karrier Cob, engineered jointly with the London Midland & Scottish Railway for package delivery; it was powered by a two-cylinder Jowett engine, and could couple with horse-drawn trailers. The London and North Eastern Railway had the same idea, and turned to Scammell Lorries, which developed a similar concept but with an automatic couple/uncouple system for trailers; Scammell appears to have first used the term "mechanical horse," in 1934 (they would later use Perkins diesels, followed by the same Leyland OE160 used by late Karrier Bantams).
The Colt, launched in 1931, was a similarly designed tractor version, a two-ton three-wheel tractor, also powered by the Jewett horizontally opposed flat two-cylinder engine, with the "Colt Major" providing four cylinders.
Karrier also created the "road railer," which had one set of wheels for roads and another for railroad tracks, and later developed a two-ton truck called the Bantam, a good seller with parcel carriers. The Bantam started out with just 9 hp, later raised to 18 hp via a Humber engine; its coupling was compatible with the Scammell system.
After two takeover bids, Karrier was acquired by Rootes Group in 1934. In Rootes' usual fashion, production was moved to a new plant in Luton, and Hudersfield was closed; the model range was slashed to avoid competition with Commer, and shared components phased in. Karrier was focused on the Cob and Colt three-wheel "mechanical horses" (just three are known to survive), the Bantam, and the CK3 and CK6 three and six ton chassis for municipal use.
By 1939, over 600 municipalities used Karrier vehicles; aftermarket body builders made garbage collectors, tower wagons, and gully emptiers. Two Karrier branded items actually based on Commer chassis were a left-hand-control road sweeper and an ambulance.
During World War II, there were separate designs for the two trucks; Karrier made cross-country four and six wheeled trucks. Overall, 10,000 Karrier trucks were used by the military during the war.
Around 1949, the Karrier Bantam switched to a cast aluminum radiator shell, replacing pressed metal. In 1952, the Bantam was updated with a new cab and Perkins diesel engine, and the CK3 was replaced by the Gamecock (seen above on a historic journey from South Africa to London); this had a new cab similar to Commer's forward control cabs. The Karrier Bantam lasted through 1970, using a 3-ton coupling gear.
Bigger garbage trucks demanded bigger chassis, and Karrier supplied its Transport Loadmaster (based on the Commer QX). A new Rootes engine, the TS3, was launched in 1954, using three cylinders and six pistons; it was a military multi-fuel diesel engine, sold in relevant Karriers.
A major success was the Spacevan, launched in 1960 as the 1500, renamed PA, then renamed PB, and later given its final name. Sold as both a Commer and Karrier, the Spacevan had a diesel early on, with automatic transmissions coming in 1965 and a 1-ton payload version coming in 1962. The Spacevan was a major success, and was restyled in 1978.
In 1965, increased demand brought production to Dunstable, where Commer / Dodge and Karrier were all brought together; Luton was refitted as a transmission plant. Dodge badging was used more; by the mid-1970s, Rootes had been fully acquired by Chrysler, and the Dodge name was on all Commer and Karrier vehicles.
British subsidies in 1975/76 gave Dodge / Karrier / Commer a boost in developing a 3.5 to 7.5 tonne range of vehicles to help keep the UK truck building business on an even keel. The 50 series came out in 1979, badged as a Dodge but with a Karrier nameplate, just in time for Peugeot's acquisition of Chrysler Europe, which included Rootes and Simca.
In January 1980, all Commer / Karrier / Dodge vehicles officially became Talbot. Peugeot sold the concern on to Renault in 1981; but for 1980, the 50 series was still badged as a Dodge under the Talbot name. From 1983 to 1986, the 50 was sold as a Dodge under the Renault name; in 1987, the trucks were replaced by the New 50 series. British 50-series production finally ended in March 1993, and the line was taken out; the building became the UK distribution center for French-built tractor units. A Chinese group purchased the equipment, and presumably Dodge medium duty trucks were produced in China for some time afterwards. (For more details, see dodge50.co.uk.)

This modpack has been made for all devoted miners and TechPack engineers. I am the author of all 5 mods in this pack. Enjoy!
Compatibility: tested with Minetest stable 0.4.17.1 running Minetest Game.
Crafting: due to large amount of crafting recipes in this mod (for items and nodes themselves but also processing rules added by various machines), I strongly recommend to use inventory mod with crafting guide, like unified_inventory.
Mod list:
Modern Tables (moderntables)
Full height wooden and metal tables in two variants: simple and with storage drawer (inventory for 16 items). If Tubelib mod is installed, four-legged machine stand and 4 more tables (designed to match both plain Tubelib and BiogasMachines style) are added as well.
Wooden variants: Acacia, Aspen, Jungle, Pine, Default
Metal variants: Bronze, Tin, Copper, Steel, Gold
Follow examples below, using specific wood type or metal ingots.
[wood_slab] [wood_slab] [wood_slab]
[wood] [ ] [wood]
[wood] [ ] [wood]
[ingot] [any_wood] [ingot]
[ingot] [ ] [ingot]
[ingot] [ ] [ingot]
Storage tables are crafted either from simple ones by mixing them with default chest or by putting chest in the middle slot while crafting simple table.
Dependencies: default, stairs
Optional: tubelib (TechPack)
Miner Tools (minertools)
Electronic gadgets for professional miners. Inspired by mod called MineralDetector. All are equipped with one or more dedicated Mining Chips (a special item required for crafting).
This mod provides following portable devices:
- Geothermometer - shows temperature variations of solid blocks (water and lava affect block relative temperature - water cools it down while lava warms it up); useful for underground mining to search - or avoid - flooded caverns or lava pools
- Mineral Scanner - shows ore count in area around player, selectable range (designed to be a handheld, improved version of Mineral Detector mentioned earlier)
- Mineral Finder - short range directional scanner to find nearby deposits of selected mineral; very picky, especially at angles, but driven by simple logic
- Three all-in-one versions of above devices, each one with improved characteristics

Optional: stairs, moreores
SaferLua Programming Tools (slprogtools)
Computer devices for interacting with SaferLua Controller from excellent TechPack mod.
This mod includes:
- Memory Copier - portable dongle to transfer code between SL Controllers in much simpler and faster way than copying it with text books; it has basic write protection and can be labelled in the same way books get titled
- Memory Programmer - improved Memory Copier, with read/write protection to prevent accidental memory loss and code injection functionality (works like original Programmer but for SL Controllers); it allows to replace special marker in init() section code with array containing collected Tubelib numbers, making redeployments of SL Controllers much easier (for example for mobile mining with Quarries and Pushers)
Memory Copier:
[ ] [steel_ingot] [ ]

Dependencies: default, tubelib (TechPack), tubelib_addons2 (TechPack), sl_controller (TechPack)
Optional: moreores
Furnace Monitor (furnacemonitor)
This simple device allows to monitor Minetest Game standard furnace with Tubelib/Smartline devices that are capable of reading Tubelib node state (like SaferLua Controllers etc.). It gets standard 4-digit Tubelib ID number and can be referred like any other compatible read-only node. Monitor checks attached node only when status is requested so it does not consume CPU resources when idle (no timers).
Placement: place on any side of a furnace, make sure back plate of device has contact with monitored node. In case of wrong orientation use screwdriver.
- "fault" - monitor is not placed on a furnace
- "stopped" - furnace is not smelting/cooking
- "running" - furnace is smelting/cooking items
- "standby" - furnace is burning fuel but there are no items loaded
[ ] [tin_ingot] [ ]
[blue_dye] [copper_ingot] [tubelib_wlanchip]
[ ] [black_dye] [ ]
Dependencies: default, tubelib (TechPack), smartline (TechPack)
Biogas Machines (biogasmachines)
This mod expands TechPack with various machines that use Biogas either as a product or a power source.
If unified_inventory mod is loaded, machines register their specific processing rules via mod API and they are visible in crafting guide there.
Machines available in this mod:
- Water Freezer
Freezing machine that converts water to ice using Biogas as coolant. Water can be supplied in buckets or (if pipeworks mod is installed) through pipes. One water bucket is converted to one ice cube, in case of pipe network there is no need for any vessels however fresh water should be provided via pipelines. Empty buckets are returned as secondary products so Freezer can be easily paired with Liquid Sampler and other Tubelib machinery.
- Gasifier
Machine to extract Biogas from compressed dry organic material, such as fossil fuels. Designed primarily to retrieve gas from Coal blocks (not lumps!), it allows to convert Straw blocks to Biogas units as well. Equipped with 'recipe hint bar' that shows processing ingredients, products and duration. Primary goal is to convert piles of Coal blocks to another burnable agent, better suited for use in modern machinery. Does not consume external fuel.
More recipes can be added via simple API function (see gasifier.lua source file in mod directory).
- Biogas Furnace
Biogas-fuelled, Tubelib-compatible version of standard furnace. All cooking recipes apply.
Notable differences are:
- fuel is used only when cooking (Biogas is not wasted)
- both input and output trays are larger allowing more items to be stored and processed; items that leave containers after cooking (for example farming:salt from TenPlus1's Farming Redo mod) do not block cooking tray; such vessels (buckets etc.) are routed to output tray as well
- uncookable items stay in input tray and are not routed anywhere
- furnace tries its best to fill output tray and can choose input items to effectively utilize remaining space there
- Biogas Jet Furnace
High performance Biogas Furnace that is 2 times faster than standard version in both item cooking time and Biogas consumption. Its output can be paired with HighPerf Pusher as it supports stack pulling.
- Compactor
Compactor is a heavy mechanical press with heating, compacting and cooling systems combined into one device. It compresses stone-like resources into very dense and hard materials, mainly obsidian. Default recipes include converting cobble and compressed gravel to obsidian, flint to obsidian shards and coal blocks to diamonds. Machine consumes Biogas for heating/compacting and Ice for rapid cooling. More custom recipes can be added via API function.
Water Freezer:

We are delighted to enrich the work of the Diversity Council with the work and ideas of two young people who have a passion for diversity and inclusion, our first intern, Morgan Kolinski, and Kassie Dorman, who reached out, after attending our annual conference, to ask if she could volunteer her time for the Council.
Morgan Kolinski is from Eagle River, Wisconsin, and will be graduating from UW-L in May with a major in Organizational and Professional Communication Studies, and a minor in Women's Studies. Throughout college, Morgan has taken advantage of opportunities to develop her awareness of diversity, attending the White Privilege Conference, getting trained as an LGBTQ ally, as well as serving as a student ambassador to Essential Health Clinic. Over the last year, she researched employee experiences with diversity initiatives in organizations for her Communication Studies capstone. Morgan says she hopes "to contribute to creating holistic and sustainably inclusive cultures within organizations by providing education and evaluating structures during my career. This internship is an amazing opportunity and I am humbled to be working alongside such amazing members of our community!" Morgan's internship this semester will focus on Communication and Outreach.
Kassie Dorman will work with Morgan on Communication and Outreach as a volunteer. She recently graduated from UW-L with a Communications Major and a minor in Ethnic and Racial Studies. Her first experience with the Council was during the Annual Conference this past November. She was thrilled to see so many of La Crosse's organizations and companies concerned about equality in the workplace. "One of the resounding takeaways for me was to be continuously conscious of different perspectives as well the power of social norms and the difficulty in altering these norms. There is a lot of important work to be done in terms of workplace equality. Volunteering with the Diversity Council is not just what I can do to help the organization but also how the members of the organization can help me in my journey to continue learning about social structures, different identities and understanding how the world works. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this organization and its mission! "

New consulting service identifies current IT risk posture to help business leaders build effective risk management programs

SYDNEY, Australia – 4 October 2007 – Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced Symantec Foundation IT Risk Assessment, a comprehensive consulting service designed to provide customers with an overview of their current IT risk exposure and guidance on remediation.

Symantec Foundation IT Risk Assessment leverages Symantec's proven methodologies and best practices and is a critical component of Symantec Global Services' broader agenda to help customers address all IT risk areas - security, availability, performance and compliance.

Exposure to IT risk grows as organisations face greater IT complexity and become increasingly dependent on IT to support key business operations. Companies of all sizes are realising the impact that IT system failures can have on their core business and are taking steps to manage IT risk as part of an enterprise-wide risk management strategy. However, many organisations lack the proper skills and resources to assess and address IT risk through a systematic approach that aligns IT with business priorities.

Symantec Foundation IT Risk Assessment helps customers take the first step toward a comprehensive IT Risk Management program. The service identifies, categorises and prioritises current IT risks so investments can be made in projects that manage IT risk, cost, and performance for maximum business returns.

"Businesses today are dealing with an increasing amount of pressure to understand all of their own unique IT risks that could impact their infrastructure, threaten their core business or jeopardise compliance," said Steve Simpson, Lead Principal Security Consultant, Business Advisory Services.

"In addition to IT leaders, senior executives also need to understand the current status of their IT risk posture in order to implement a larger risk management plan. Symantec's strong history in working with customers in all areas of IT risk will provide a unique offering to those organisations in need of developing their IT risk management foundation."

Symantec Foundation IT Risk Assessment is built on Symantec's expertise in IT risk management and is delivered through a proven methodology that includes industry accepted frameworks and standards such as Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and BS17799.

Seasoned Symantec consultants work directly with client executives as well as business and technical teams to develop a clear view of the customer's current risk posture and desired future state. A series of interviews and internal dialogues objectively identify and categorise the client's risk level, then prioritise risks based on their perceived value and impact to the core business.

Symantec Consulting also leverages the Symantec INFORM (Information assurance Risk Model) tool to gather qualitative and quantitative data from the clients and to generate gap analyses and solution recommendation reports. The INFORM program is a set of vendor neutral tools, based on Symantec's unique peer benchmarking platform made up of more than 800 customer surveys on IT risk management.

In the final phase of the Foundation IT Risk Assessment service, customers receive a full report which includes an executive summary of the organisation's IT risk posture as well as recommendations for both tactical and strategic steps for remediation.

With this information, customers then have the necessary foundation from which to build out a larger IT risk strategy. In addition, customers gain insight that allows them to understand IT risk exposure, improve IT performance, and balance risks and costs so IT can be used with confidence to drive innovation.

"As organisations become more dependent on their IT systems to conduct business, IT risk has become a primary concern for business leaders and other key stakeholders as they assess their larger risk management strategies" said Steve Simpson, Lead Principal Security Consultant, Business Advisory Services. "Symantec Foundation IT Risk Assessment will provide customers with confidence about defining, assessing and maintaining their IT risk strategy."

Symantec Global Services is a leader in providing services and solutions that manage IT risk, help reduce costs, and maximise IT performance. Symantec consultants have worked with 95 percent of the Fortune 500 and possess an average of 15 years in IT risk management disciplines including security, availability, performance and compliance. Symantec Global Services includes Consulting, Education, Enterprise Support, Managed Services, Security Response and Software as a Service.
