Album Review-
Royal Blood, Royal Blood
I've got a confession to make…. I usually try to maintain a balanced musical diet, but recently I've been binging on EDM. It all happened quite innocently…. I'd been studiously compiling "The-Best-Party-Playlist-In-The-World" for an upcoming milestone event. I started out fooling around with a little drum'n'bass. Looking back, I now realise that was just a gateway genre… Before I knew it, I was hooked on the heavier stuff- unable to start my day without a hit of dubstep. Yep- I was in deep.
Thankfully, two recent occurrences have helped bring me out the other side of this synth-driven whiteout. Firstly, the party is done and dusted- all that remains of the event are a handful of blurred snapshots, a wig post-styled with what is probably-definitely vodka and soda, and a single blue contact lens (a whole other story entirely).
The second, somewhat more newsworthy occurrence was Royal Blood releasing their debut self-titled album.
Now, to say that I've been looking forward to this album's release is a major understatement. I've been anticipating it with the same amount of fervor that a fat kid displays after hearing a Krispy Kreme shop is opening in his neighbourhood. Indeed, since the release of their first single, the hard-hitting Out Of The Black, in late 2013, I've been craving more Royal Blood.
With 4 hit singles and a dream run of sold-out international shows already under their belts, it's suffice to say that Royal Blood have well and truly exploded onto the grunge-rock music scene. Formed in 2012, the Brighton duo consists of bassist/singer, Mike Kerr and drummer, Ben Thatcher. Listening to the album, you'd find it nigh on impossible to believe that the phenomenal wall-of-sound could emanate from a mere two instruments. Unsurprisingly, parallels to another 2-piece heavyweight rock act have been drawn by the music press, and it's not hard to see why, with riffs from tracks such as Careless immediately invoking the spirit of The White Stripes. Others have said Royal Blood's sound is reminiscent of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, or early QOTSA- an impressive list of rock royalty that the band are undoubtedly happy to share the stage with. And yet, with a tirade of blues-driven rock riffs and a relentless pounding drumbeat, Royal Blood manage to create their own unique, deliciously rich and infectious sound.
Clocking in at a mere 32 minutes, the album's 10 tracks are delivered at a frenetic pace. Out Of The Black opens, injecting an adrenaline shot directly to that part of your brain that activates the head banging mechanism. From there on in, it's pretty much hold on tight and rock out with your prize rooster out. Hit-singles including Come On Over, Little Monster and latest release Figure It Out are intermingled with equally impressive tracks such as the bluesy, You Can Be So Cruel and the powerful, Ten Tonne Skeleton ensuring the blazing intensity never abates. When the last hit of reverb fades from your eardrums and you finally come up for air, don't be surprised if you want to jump straight back in and immerse yourself a little longer in the ocean of Royal Blood.
I missed Royal Blood's most recent national tour in Australia, when their gig date rather inconveniently fell on an evening after I'd spent the day crawling under barbed-wire, traversing ropes and swimming through semi-frozen lakes at the Melbourne Spartan Sprint mud-run. But I have sworn that when Royal Blood finally do grace our shores again, I'll do all of those things and more just to get to the show!
Do yourself a favour and check out Royal Blood's debut self-titled album now! Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Wade Menendez is a barber from Baltimore who works hair magic for his clients whose natural hair has stopped growing. Whether a man has lost his hair due to alopecia, cancer or illness (or if he just wants longer hair), Wade says, he can create custom-made wigs or hairpieces to help boost his confidence.
"It changes their life, their self-esteem goes up," Wade says. "I feel like it's important to feel good spiritually, mentally and physically."
So when Rachael invited Wade to come on the show, she wanted to help him do what he does best on someone who would really appreciate it. Enter Jerod, a huge fan of Wade's who started losing his hair around the age of 19 — over 20 years ago.
"Wade the barber — I follow him on Instagram, I've become quietly obsessed with him — he changes people's lives by offering them something that they lost," Jerod says. "He gives them back their hair."

So, Rach worked her own brand of magic and brought these two men together on the show!
Jerod, who hasn't seen himself with hair in 20 years, goes backstage to get a hair makeover from Wade — and, of course, the end result is amazing.
Watch Jerod's reaction to seeing his new hair for the very first time in the video above!

The Congrégation de Notre-Dame General Chapter began last summer with a retreat with Father Simon-Pierre Arnold setting the tone and helping us arrive at a New Moment – a New Day! In his third session, Father Simon-Pierre invited us to look at the mystery of mission before 'church' – to understand what Jesus intended mission to be and what the call is for us today.
Jesus' message is that God's love and compassion be lived out in the ordinariness of our daily lives. We are called to constantly find new ways to break open the Gospel daily and mirror for each other and for God's world this Love that is the Reality that defines who we are and directs our lives.
Dear Sisters,
An Associate suggested that the theme for Advent this year should be "Face our fears and vulnerabilities." In our Congrégation de Notre-Dame orientation, that sentence follows "Live interculturality" and certainly pertains also to "Go to the peripheries."
Another suggestion from an associate was to reach out and form "Circles of Hospitality" in true Visitation spirit. Individually or as a group, we might want to invite people we know who are immigrants or of different ethnicities, religions, political persuasions than ours to share coffee and a conversation or join groups who are doing this, e.g. Interfaith services, immigrant rights, etc.
The hope of Advent is that the Incarnation is both present and coming. This hope calls us to "Face our fears and vulnerabilities." We believe the variety of readings in this prayer service for Advent invite us to face our fears and uncertainties with hope. If you are doing in a group, you may wish to choose only certain readings.
Peace and Hope,
Regina Smith and Joan Mahoney, CND, Co-Coordinators of the Associate Relationship, Blessed Sacrament Province

Mysteries for a rainy day
Auntie Poldi and the Vineyards of Etna by Mario Giordano
Auntie Poldi returns! Oh, how I love this woman. She is a German widow of a Sicilian living in the shadow of Mt. Etna and trying not to drink herself to death in view of sea. Once she straightens her wig, puts down her glass of wine and straddles her Vespa, there is no stopping 60 year old Polidi. Not her Sicilian sister-in-laws, not her German want-to-be author nephew, and certainly not her handsome lover, Chief Inspector Montanta!
What does a poisoned dog and the deaths of a fortune teller and a well-known attorney have in common? Could it be the Mafia? Fast-paced, sexy and smart, Giordano transports the reader to sunny Sicily. If you are anything like this 60 year old reader, you will soon be reaching for your laptop to search for Sicilian vacation rentals with a view of ocean. Pub. Date March 2019
Death in Paris by Emilia Bernhard
When American Rachael Levis learns that her ex-boyfriend has died face down in a bowl of soup, she is surprised that a bottle of rosé was on the table as well. Edgar detested rosé. It's been years since she was with him and she is happily married to another man but Edgar had been her first mature relationship when Rachael first moved to Paris. It seems that he had not forgotten her either, putting her in his will and requesting that she catalogue his huge library. With a legitimate reason to snoop around, Rachael and her best friend Magda take it upon themselves to discover who murdered Edgar Bowen. This is an entertaining read with a fun amateur sleuth duo and no shortage of Parisian atmosphere! Pub. Date October 2018
Killer Thriller by Lee Goldberg
Ian Ludlow, former television script writer and best-selling author writes books that get the attention of the CIA, mostly because they tend to come too close to the truth. Doing research in Hong Kong, it doesn't take long for Ian and his assistant, Margo French, to become a target for the Chinese government who believe that his relationship with the CIA makes him a high profile spy.
As in the first Ian Ludlow book, the hapless author finds himself in bizarre situations that have terrifying global consequences. Suspenseful, exciting chases, unique characters and an absolutely pleasurable way to pass an evening. Or, well into the night because you won't be able to put it down. Pub. Date February 2018
In the Galway Silence by Ken Bruen
Jack Tayor is a former Irish cop who is far from perfect. He drinks too much, pops stimulants, his relationships have been rocky and he talks too much. Things have been looking up lately but that is all about to change. He gets drawn into a strange murder, his ex-wife shows up with a daughter he didn't know he had, his girlfriend's son is kidnapped and then there is the serial killer…
I am pretty good at sticking to the plot of a story and this one was difficult but worth it. This is Bruen's 14th Jack Taylor mystery but my first. Dark, circuitous, complex and witty. Yes, Taylor is a deeply flawed and tormented character but he's also someone who grows on you. I shall definitely catch up on the 13 other books! Pub. Date November 2018
Shadowed by Death by Mary Adler
Oliver Wright has returned home from the Pacific minus a leg. The Marine is trying to settle back into his pre-war job as a homicide detective in San Francisco but unrelenting pain, haunting memories and his superior's apprehension about his disability, makes it difficult. Aided by his wartime companion, Harley, a German shepherd, Oliver is determined to do the job that he loves. The discovery of a mysterious woman beaten almost to death and dumped on the grounds of the Presidio coupled with a frightened little girl, a beautiful Polish resistance fighter who has left her children behind, a grandmotherly Italian restaurateur and a community of Jewish chicken farmers lead Oliver to fear that the evil tentacles of the war in Europe has reached California.
Facing his own demons, Oliver is actually one of the more sensitive detective characters I've come across. His relationship with his dog Harley is one of the best parts of the novel. It's only 1944 and the war in Europe is not over. There are a lot of questions left unanswered so we can assume that Oliver and Harley will be back. There were some disjointed bits along the way but it is clear that Adler has done her research and I enjoyed reading about wartime San Francisco. Pub. Date September 2018

DPH confirms first Connecticut case of Zika acquired in US
Photo: Andre Penner — AP File Photo
The State Department of Public Health Wednesday announced the first case of Zika virus in Connecticut acquired in the continental United States. The patient had recently traveled to Florida.
DPH did not say when the person contracted the virus, but reminds residents, especially pregnant women, to avoid traveling to infected regions.
Connecticut began surveillance for the virus in February. To date, 85 people have tested positive for Zika virus, five of them pregnant.
DPH officials said the virus is often spread through mosquito bites, but also can be sexually transmitted.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3,358 cases of Zika have been reported in the country as of Sept. 21.

Seattle set to prevent landlords from considering applicants' criminal records. Seattle landlords would be almost completely prohibited from screening prospective tenants based on their criminal histories, under a proposed ordinance approved by a City Council committee Tuesday.
The only people who could be denied housing based on their criminal histories would be those listed on sex-offender registries because of adult convictions.
And landlords denying housing to such sex offenders would still need to state a legitimate business reason for doing so.

Proof of Liability Insurance
When do you need proof of insurance?
In most states you need to carry proof of liability insurance whenever you drive. That is also the most common answer to this question on a knowledge test.
You must be able to show written evidence of your car insurance when asked to do so by a police officer. You must also be able to show such proof to other drivers when you are involved in a car accident.
It is also common that state rules require you to show your insurance card when registering a vehicle or having your vehicle inspected.
Failure to carry proof of insurance may result in fines, points on your driving record, or even a suspension of your driving privilege.
Different Rules in Different States
Remember that rules are different between states. Some states allow you to carry proof on an electronic device, such as a cell phone, others don't. If you travel across state lines, you should keep a written copy in your glove compartment. Just to be on the safe side.

Filipina women who marry white husband claim high status in the Philippines. White men are considered as the most stunning and great men in this country. So, single women here are so proud to walk with white guys. They usually show off their white husbands to relatives, friends and even strangers on public.
In the Philippines, having a white husband is the pride for her family and siblings, as well as relatives. It does not matter who old he is, a white spouse is viewed as the special status in the family. Most of Filipino women, their parents and siblings, try to show off this white guy every time they have a chance. When she has a half-white kid, they show off this kid as well. This is the routine that happens to most of Filipino-wife-White-husband families.
It is about the culture and society. The white is always better than dark color. Also, most Filipina ladies are taught to look for a better man than them. They always try to marry up for better. Another reason is that the bad rumors from Filipino men about domestic violence make them scared of marrying a local man. The poor living condition is also the reason they want to look for a white husband. Most of them are trying to get out of the country where they can't find a bright future. They are trying to marry a white man to have an opportunity to work and earn dollars in the Western nation.
Back to our topic, Filipinos consider white skin is the better. Most of them are trying to change their skin color by using skin whitening products to have a whiter skin. Marrying a white dude is the dream that comes true. Their children will have the best white skin ever. They are proud to be white. When a Filipina married a white husband, he is like her high brand. Of course, she will show off her husband wherever she has a chance. Her parents will show off their grand-children as well. Every one in her family will show off this white dude too.
It is about the culture. The Philippines people show off the good things and hide the ugly things. When a Filipina girl who married to a Caucasian, certainly, he is her pride. She is proud of herself. She thinks her life is on the higher status in the society. When she walks with a white spouse, she feel confident, safe and proud. She is happy with a white, tall and handsome husband. Then, it is okay for her to show off with other people.
Many of single women in the Philippines who signed up at our free dating site to find Western men try to show off their "cool" and "high-level" husbands after marriage. I think it is okay to do so if you are proud of yourself about your husband.
However, there are some Filipina girls who completely changed their characteristics after they married a Caucasian husband, this is not good. They think that they are considered as the high status and living condition. Their behavior has changed. They don't talk to the neighbors and friends. They think these neighbors and friends are "low" class so they don't talk or even look at anymore. This isn't right at all.
Anyway, the Filipina ladies who marry white husbands show off with their friends and even strangers. Especially their mothers always try to show off their son-in-laws in front of people. I mean, they are too proud to have the white dude as a member of the family.

Library owner by day, naughty princess by night. That's Isabelle for you. Or at least the one she's trying to be because her library is about to be shut down and, according to her friends, she's still too unfamiliar with the male species to be a naughty princess. So first she needs to get comfortable around men so she can make some money so she can save her library. See? Simple. Until her father finds out about her night job and she ends up without a place to stay. Tha's when Vincent, AKA the beast, makes his appearance as her knight in shining armor.
This was my first book of the series and my first book by Tara Sivec. Obviously, after all the fuss around the previous book of the series, my expectations were really high. And you know what? The book nicely delivered.
The female characters are so well created. From Mrs. Potter (the old lady who helps Isabelle at the library) to the other naughty princesses, I would say that Tara absolutely nailed it. They're all funny, they say whatever they say and they're their own bosses.
Vincent's character is also really good. He's just a real caveman: a mix o a little bit possessiveness towards his girl, lots of grunts and a lot of ordering around. Between you and me, he's a really sweet guy deep down.
But my favorite thing about this book was Isabelle's character. Every time she's uncomfortable she starts staying random facts which were the funniest thing ever! I mean, it is ten times better than getting beet read like I do everytime I get uncomfortable!
Big warning: there's something going on on the book that some of you might call sharing. I personally don't think it is but just to let you know, she's a pool dancer even when she's in a relationship with Vincent, which doesn't involve anything sexual but might still give the creeps.

Nigeria: Genocide in Plateau state
"The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grandfather Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent the change of power. We must use minorities in the north as willing tools and the South as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us and never allow them to have control of their future"... by Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto. Parrot Newspaper, 12th October 1960. Recalled by Nigerian Tribune Newspaper, 13th November 2002.
The on-going genocidal jihad against Christians and the ethnic minorities of northern Nigeria, which at present is focussed on the Berom, and lately making inroads into Mangu and Bokkos Local Government areas, was conceived from the birth of the Nigerian nation and is aimed at cleansing northern Nigeria of Christians and ethnic minorities and establishment of Islamic rule in Nigeria.
As reprehensible as the murder is, if it takes the simultaneous deaths of our valiant illustrous sons, Sen (Dr) Gyang Dalyop Dantong and the Majority Leader of the State Legislature, Hon Gyang James Fulani, to awaken the Federal Government of Nigeria and the world to the stark reality of the on-going genocide, so our people are saved, then their deaths would not have been in vain.
This jihad raises the question of whether Christians and the ethnic minorities have equal citizenship rights and protection as do other Nigerians, in line with Nigerian Laws and Constitution, and the United Nations Charter on Ethnic Minority Rights. From our experiences, we are bold to say that the concept of a truly "one Nigeria" is still a dream.
This pursuit of Fulani domination, which cannot be put more succinctly than our opening quote, has been one of the foremost causes of contention and strife in Nigerian politics and has also cost northern Christians and ethnic minorities thousands of lives -mothers, daughters, sons, husbands and aged parents - with attendant degeneration of respect for humanity and human life. Regrettably, this degeneration was allowed to continue, sometimes in exchange for political power or patronage, or to buy temporary respite from more intentional violence, or indeed, in the deliberate promotion of an agenda; successive governments handled with kid gloves the monster that is now waging a war of annihilation of the Christians and non-Muslims of northern Nigeria – even Muslims of non-Hausa or Fulani origin have not been spared.
The ethnic minorities are at best political fillers, otherwise expendable.
The basis for the statements made above show evidence that there is a grand plan against Christians, ethnic nationalities and the Beroms who have all, at one time or another tasted the bitter manipulation of "Federal Might" against ethnic minorities or non-Muslims in Nigeria.

So I bought, installed, and registered the latest PDF Fusion directly from the Corel store the other day, and I've received the registration confirmation email.
But every time I create a new PDF output file (such as by combining 2 other PDF files), when I open the output in Adobe Reader or any other PDF reader (even PDF Fusion), every page is both upside-down and every single character shows its mirror image!
I'm no Leonardo Da Vinci, and I doubt those reading my PDF Fusion-produced files possess Leonardo's mirror-image reading skills either, so what the heck??
For the record, since the program is successfully registered, the free version's Watermarking is off, so it's not something weird like that, but who knows?
Also, I tried sending a tech support request on this question, but the support request form requires a "support code". Corel swears up and down that the registration confirmation email I received would have that code, but there's NO code of any kind in the message!
I'm sorry you are having such a rough beginning with the product.
If you could email: email@example.com with your contact information I will log a support ticket on your behalf. As well, if you can share any of the files you've been working with, we can start researching the problem.
Thanks, Heather!
I sent you an email as you requested, and have attached one of the bizarre PDF files for you to examine.
Thanks again!

Quotable Lyrics
"Ok, I wake up fresh, get up fly, drape myself, pimp my ride
Hit that slab, throw some gold, making shawty get down on the floor
I'ma have to show my ass, ride on glass, pump my brakes,
Pop my trunk, then I flash, a nigga wanna try to act bad
We don't wanna play no games
Caught my lane, swang and swerve, I gotta watch out for the curb
We don't really play that, play that, yea! Yeen bout that, bout that, no!"

Review | 'The Man Who Loved Dogs' by Leonardo Padura, rev. by Ian Thomson
»Padura fortifies his story with details culled from the many biographies of Trotsky (notably, Bertrand Patenaude's recent Stalin's Nemesis) to create a book which is James Ellroy-like in its scope and heft. At nearly 600 pages The Man Who Loved Dogs is certainly too heavy on the wrists, but all the same it's absorbing.»

One of those "killer" recipes that is sure to wow any crowd (especially when they find out how simple it is), this nine-ingredient slow cooker chili relies largely on pantry staples such as canned white beans, chicken broth, and canned roasted green chilies. To build rich flavor, the chicken is first seared in a skillet and the aromatic onions and fresh garlic are lightly sauteed in the same pan with the remaining flavorful juices and browned bits from the chicken before being transferred to the slow cooker. To add extra flair to your chili, set this vibrant stew out with individual bowls of sour cream, ripe avocado, sliced radishes, diced tomatoes, crumbled cotija (a salty Mexican cow's milk cheese), and fresh limes for topping.
How to Make It
Place beans and broth in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on high until beans are tender, 2 hours.
Warm oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken skin side down in skillet; cook until brown, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook for 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate; remove and discard skin. Drain all but 2 Tbsp. fat from skillet. Add onions and garlic; cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add onion mixture, chilies, 1 cup water and cumin to slow cooker. Stir; add chicken.
Cook on low for 6 hours, stirring twice. Remove 1 cup beans plus 1/2 cup liquid from slow cooker. Puree in a blender; return to slow cooker. Remove chicken, shred it and return to slow cooker. Spoon into individual bowls and serve.

Yummy French Bread!
What's in it
Part 1:
2 1/2 c. warm water
2 Tbls. yeast
3 Tbls. sugar
2 Tbls. white vinegar
Part 2:
1 Tbls. salt
1/3 c. oil (I use Canola)
6-7 c. flour
How to cook it
- Add the Part 1 ingredients together and let sit until bubbly (about 3-5 minutes).
- Then add the Part 2 ingredients. For the flour, add one cup at a time--add enough until the dough is soft, but firm enough to mold into dough loaves.
- Knead for 2-5 minutes and then put in the oven with a small pot of boiling water. The water will keep the dough moist. Watch the dough and punch it down when it gets to the top of the mixing bowl. Do this every time it gets to the top of the bowl, as long as you have time to babysit it (2-5 times).
- Put the dough on a greased countertop and divide into 3 sections.
- Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and sprinkle a thin layer of cornmeal on the bottom of the sheet. Roll the dough balls into rectangle/long French bread shapes. Slash tops of bread diagonally 3-5 times and cover with a beaten egg.
- Let rise 30 minutes (or until doubled)on the counter, or you can put them in your oven at 170 and wait until they are the size you want to cook them at.
- Once they are to the right size, turn up your stove to 375 (without opening the door!) and let them bake until done. Or, just raise on the counter and bake at 375 for 30 minutes.

About the region
Local Aboriginal communities have an enduring connection to these sites, many of which have important heritage values (such as scar trees, middens, burial sites, artefacts and ovens). Waterways across the northern region provide highly valued amenity and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors as well as business opportunities from tourism. Importantly, these waterways also support irrigated agriculture which contributes significantly to Australia's prosperity through food and fibre production.
Environmental water available for use in the northern Victorian systems is held in the Ovens, Murray, Goulburn, Broken, Loddon and Campaspe storages, which also hold water for consumptive water entitlements. The water systems of the northern region are highly connected. Infrastructure and water trading allows water to move from one system to another. This allows environmental water to move between systems for delivery to priority environmental sites across northern Victoria, if needed. However, most environmental water in these systems is prioritised to provide benefits in the regions in which the water is held.
Working together
We coordinate with the Murray-Darling Basin Authority and the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office in northern Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia to deliver environmental outcomes in the Murray–Darling Basin and maximise the benefits of environmental water deliveries in Victoria.
In some cases environmental water delivered through northern Victoria can be reused for environmental benefits downstream. If return flows are not reused in Victoria, the VEWH, Living Murray and Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder return flows can flow to the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth in South Australia.
We can also authorise waterway managers to order Living Murray and Commonwealth water for downstream sites, provided there are no adverse impacts on Victorian waterways.
View the current seasonal watering plan for the rivers and wetlands that make up the Northern region:

- Gunbower Creek and Forest
- Central Murray wetlands
- Hattah Lakes
- Lower Murray wetlands
- Lindsay, Wallpolla and Mulcra

Ibelieve the human relationship with such devices iscurrently in the process of replacing our relation-ship with natural living organisms such as animalsand nonhuman environments. Some of the rolesof cell phones and laptops in the 21st century havebecome similar to the purposes of work horses anddomesticated pets prior to the digital age.

Gareth Southgate will discuss with his England players what it means to wear the Three Lions shirt as he dropped Mason Greenwood and Phil Foden to send a "message" following their behaviour last month.
The pair were sent home after breaching Covid-19 regulations in Reykjavik in September, just hours after both had made their senior England debuts in a 1-0 Nations League win over Iceland.
Both Greenwood and Foden were conspicuous by their absence. when Southgate named his squad for the forthcoming Wembley triple-header against Wales, Belgium and Denmark.
Southgate revealed he had already told both players they would not be included this time around, before they left Iceland last month.
Here is your #ThreeLions squad for this month's triple-header! 👀
— England (@England) October 1, 2020
The England boss also said he will talk to his 30-strong squad ahead of the upcoming game about the importance of representing the country when called on to do so.
"What we found in the last camp was lots of new players coming in," he said.
"So I think that maybe as a reminder when you have got lots of new players that you have to be a little more… not assuming that people are going to understand how you work and pick it up from the rest of the group.
"But I think always you have to work at culture. It never is embedded forever, it's constantly evolving, the team group is constantly evolving, as players come and go.
"So you have always got to keep affecting that, keep addressing that and we will discuss the shirt, what it means to wear the shirt and some reminders on how we work – but that's not a case of reading the riot act.
"That's a case of asking the players what sort of team they want to be involved in and be a part of and I think they have shown so many positives over the last years. But we had not been together for 10 months."
Southgate is also keen to maintain the relationship the England team now once again have with supporters after rebuilding those bridges throughout his tenure.
"In terms of the broader message I just think that the last few years we've re-connected really well with the public, number one," he added. "We've got to make sure we protect that.
"Number two, there are standards of working as a team and your culture as a team that are really important to protect.
"That will have often be challenged in different ways and has been for us over the last few months so we've got to make sure that we're doing that in the right way, our senior players in particular have a big role to play within that."
It was also confirmed by Southgate that there would be no Under-21 call-up for Greenwood, 18, or Foden, 20, adding to talkSPORT: "I think, when we've taken the decision that they wouldn't be involved with us, that applies across all of our teams this month.
"It wouldn't be fair on the Under-21s as well for them to pick up what would be a big story if the two players were in their age group this time.
"We've taken the decision to give them that reflection."
Southgate has, however, said that Manchester United forward Greenwood and Manchester City midfielder Foden will be available for selection for England's games in November.
"Whatever decision we would have taken this would have been the story tomorrow," he said.
"We have to send a message to all our players in our teams at every age level that that sort of thing isn't how we do things with England.
"Then we've got to rehabilitate these two boys. Young people will make mistakes. These lads have suffered enough now.
"I think they need this period of reflection but that gives them the opportunity to get back on their feet with their clubs, enjoy their football again.
"I can speak to them after this camp and it will be just be about their form then."

Times are not equal. Constant has been the debate of what has brought about widening disparities in income and wealth at our age. The subject is of interest such that researchers have taken their time to inquire into the trends of income or wealth inequality in the United States. We know very little about the distribution of income and wealth and how they have evolved in the long run. Those at the top and the middle of the distribution are affected differently by changes in equity and house prices. Housing booms help the middle-class households and tend to decrease wealth inequality.
Income and Wealth 1949
In the postwar period, average family income decreased by 100 US dollars from 1948-1949. Income of the average family was $3100 in 1949. The figure was lower than that of 1948 but bigger by about 500 US dollars compared to that of medians for the war years.
Although the figures indicated a slight decline in average annual family income in 1949, evidence still exists which shows that some groups in the population were severely affected. The most affected were families headed by self-employed workers. Income to farmers decreased by 27%. They used to average $2000 dollars, but in 1949 they averaged an average income of $1400. This decrease was explained by the Department of Agriculture. The department attributed the reduction to the general downward trend in farm product prices.
Among families of non-agricultural workers, some evidence shows that families headed by a person who worked in the mining industry also realized a decline in average income; due to reduced working hours in the mines.
Various Census from 1949
In 1960 average family size had increased and was estimated to be 6 or more people. Average family income was 6,691 US dollars, 57.9% higher than that of 1950. Median family income was $5620. 36.1% of families had incomes below 5000US dollars, and 18.9 5 families had incomes under 3000 US dollars.
In 1970 the median money income of families was $9,870. It was a 440 US dollars improvement from the 1969 figure of $9,430. 8.9% of the 51.9 million families received incomes below 3000 US dollars. The bracket of 3000-5000US dollars had 5.13 million families, 11. 8 percent had income between 5000-7000 US dollars. The number of families with revenue of 10000 US dollars increased by from 46.9% in 1969 to 49. 1 percent in 1970.
In 1980, median household income was US dollars 17,710, an improvement of 7.6 % from 1979. After adjusting for a 13.5 percent increase in the cost of consumer goods, real median household income declined by 5.2 percent.
Households experienced a real income decline between 1989 and 1990. The household income declined in real terms by 1.7% from US dollars 30,468 to $29,493.
Statistically, real median household income did not change. Between 1999 and 2000 the figure was $42,148, and the highest ever recorded in history. For five consecutive years, the economy experienced an annual increase.
2010 real median household income was $49,445 indicating a 2.3 percent decline from the 2009 median household income. The poverty rate was at 15.1 percent up from 14.3 % in 2009.
In 2015, median household income was $56,516 a 5.2 percent increase from the year 2014. The figure was, however, low compared to that of 2007 by a 1.6%. Compared to the 2009 median household income, 2015 value was again low by 2.4 percent. The years 2007 and 1999 are used here since 2007 was the immediate year before the financial crisis, and the year 1999 was the peak year of annual increase.
In the US household income determines the poverty line. Statistics show that in the year 2015, 13.5% of the Americans were living in poverty.
The Year 2016
Between the year 2015 and 2016, the real median household income increased by 2.4 percent. 2016's median household income was $57,617. The poverty rate in 2016 was at 12.7 percent depicting a decline of 0.8% from 13.5% in 2015. 40.6 million People were in poverty, 2.5 fewer than 2015 and 6.0 million less than the year 2014. The figures show the second consecutive decline in poverty levels from the year 2014.
In conclusion, household income which determines the wealth of a nation had increased all through from 1949 to 2016 except in the year 2008 when there was a recession. Increase in figures may not show the real picture on the ground. The statistics are general from different states. Information given is therefore of general nature. The year 2010 households or families had high income compared to 2000 households. However, the 2000 household could afford to purchase more commodities compared to the 2010 families. As earlier on said, times are not equal!

About composer: Jose Luis Merlin ~ Suite del Recuerdo
Argentinian guitar composer Jose Luis Merlin's Suite del Recuerdo is dedicated to the memory of many thousands of "disappeared ones" from the days of the military junta in Argentina. This is very haunting, romantic music, using typical South American folk dances and melodies as the basis of five separate pieces entitled Evocation, Zamba, Chacarera, Carnavalito and Joropo.
A translation of the sheet music dedication page explains the significance of the music to the composer. "This is an homage to memories, my memories. To the collective memories of my people living in nostalgia, tormented, anguished, happy and hopeful. Memories from the country, in San Luis, with all the smells and sounds from the country. It is like looking inside yourself in very profound silence. Memories of afternoons with grandparents, aunts and uncles, parents, brothers, sisters, cousins. All enjoying each other, sharing our feelings and playing guitar., sitting in the back yard drinking wine, under the vines. Lots of them are not here anymore. They are in my memories."
Jose Luis Merlin has gained world wide recognition following the release of critically acclaimed guitarist Jason Vieaux's CD featuring Suite del Recuerdo. The recording has inspired other guitarists, and indeed myself, to play and record the work. Filled with "catchy dance rhythms, fluttering dynamics and flashy riffs" the work is a real audience pleaser.
My performance of the work can be heard via my 1998 CD recording Second Recital for Guitar.

EXETER — Stonyfield Farm co-founder Gary Hirshberg said the Londonderry-based yogurt company proves organic makes economic sense and he plans to take that message to Washington in a fight for the nation's health.
EXETER — Stonyfield Farm co-founder Gary Hirshberg said the Londonderry-based yogurt company proves organic makes economic sense and he plans to take that message to Washington in a fight for the nation's health.
Hirshberg, who recently announced he is stepping down as president/chief executive of Stonyfield to bring his messages about health and the environment to a wider audience, was the featured speaker at the inaugural Food and Health Forum Food For Thought dinner and seminar Monday night at Blue Moon Evolution.
As roughly 100 guests dined on a three-course, locally sourced dinner of spinach and kale salad, chicken cacciatore and maple mousse, Hirshberg gave a sobering lecture on the damages done by the last 70 years of experimentation with genetically modified food.
"The data is in, and it's not working," Hirshberg said.
Hirshberg said it was a series of small, well-intentioned steps that led food production in America down an unsustainable path. He said a number of myths, including that of the Earth's "infinite resilience" and that waste and byproducts can be transported somewhere "away," have enabled a system that promotes obesity and other health risks, as well as production methods that harm the environment.
Because of the use of pesticides and the proliferation of genetically modified foods, Hirshberg said, one in three Americans born after the year 2000 will develop Type 2 diabetes and 41 percent of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes.
Those figures are a "devastating indictment of the system of modern living," and the No. 1 cause, he said, is exposure to chemicals. Studies show the average human is exposed to 80,000 to 100,000 chemicals, not all from food, in everyday living, he said.
As insects evolve to resist insecticides and weeds begin to tolerate herbicides, the stakes continue to rise, Hirshberg said. He said 13 million acres of fields in 26 states are no longer controllable by herbicides, and companies have engaged "in a form of insanity" by relying on defoliants.
Perhaps the most well-known example of a defoliant is Agent Orange, used in the Vietnam War to reduce enemy brush cover. Agent Orange is highly toxic, and studies have shown it caused countless birth defects.
Hirshberg said businesses are lobbying to allow production of a strain of corn resistant to defoliation and that is why he is headed to Washington today to testify. He said he hopes to turn the tide of reliance on genetically modified foods.
And Stonyfield might be his key argument against that business model. Since 1983, the business grew from a seven-cow operation to part of the $30 billion organic industry, he said. As the turnout Monday night indicated, people are getting behind organic and spreading the word about its benefits, he said.
The Food and Health Forum series is a venture between Blue Moon owner Kath Gallant and nutritionist and health coach Tracey Miller. The series will continue Monday, Feb. 13, with Jim Gerritsen, a farmer and president of Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association.

Quantum many-systems, such superfluids, are difficult to study in equilibrium, and thus understanding their dynamics poses a particular challenge. When the strength of interactions was suddenly changed in a two-dimensional gas of cesium atoms, Hung et al. (p. 1213, published online 1 August; see the Perspective by Schmiedmayer and Berges) observed oscillations in the time and space domains analogous to the peaks in the spectrum of the cosmic microwave background.
Predicting the dynamics of many-body systems far from equilibrium is a challenging theoretical problem. A long-predicted phenomenon in hydrodynamic nonequilibrium systems is the occurrence of Sakharov oscillations, which manifest in the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background and the large-scale correlations of galaxies. Here, we report the observation of Sakharov oscillations in the density fluctuations of a quenched atomic superfluid through a systematic study in both space and time domains and with tunable interaction strengths. Our work suggests a different approach to the study of nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems and the exploration of their analogs in cosmology and astrophysics.

Commercial LED Retrofitting Projects have dramatically increased over the past few years
See the LED Trade Coverage on LED Retrofitting – Profiles on one of the leading American LED Lighting Manufacturers with 10 Year Warranty LED Lights.
Independence LED Sample TRADE COVERAGE
Independence LED has been profiled online and in print publications across a diverse range of media. Click on the logos and headlines below to read the article and learn why Independence LED is a leader in the Lighting Industry.
For more media coverage see: Independence LED in the NEWS for industry leading retrofits and AWARDS
The high performance US Made technology which drives the De-Lamping potential of Independence LED Retrofit Kits was featured in the online version of Electrical Business Magazine.
From Electrical Business Magazine: "We invest heavily in developing the highest quality content, the most current media delivery platforms, the greatest industry presence and the best qualified circulation…"
The Independence LED Lighting coverage also extended to include Retrofit Magazine
From Retrofit Magazine: "The design and construction industries have experienced huge losses in revenue, opportunities and employees. However, the downturn in new construction and the vast inventory of existing building stock has turned industry professionals' focuses on the retrofit market and the opportunities it presents. Building owners, too, are finding cheaper leases within empty spaces or are retrofitting their current spaces in hopes of improving value for the impending real-estate uptick.
Although other trade publications have mentioned retrofitting and the specific products required to retrofit buildings, there has not been a publication or Web site focused entirely on what now is a prominent market category. Retrofit magazine's goal is to provide facility managers, building owners, contractors and others education about and insight into this burgeoning marketplace. As retrofitting makes its place in our nation's building history, the concept itself deserves recognition through its own publication and Web site.
Independence LED Retrofitting and De-Lamping Strategy
De-Lamping – the replacement of two fluorescent tubes with one LED tube – greatly diminishes the operating cost for owners and, in many cases, reduces the payback period to as little as one year. Many Independence LED products are DLC listed and qualify for rebates with major energy providers, which can also reduce the payback period.
Independence LED retrofit kits for De-Lamping can be installed in existing lighting fixtures, or be shipped pre-assembled in new lighting fixtures.
According to Independence LED CEO Charles Szoradi, "The key to De-Lamping is based on our ability to use one high output tube to replace two existing fluorescent tubes or a pair of imported tubes. Our deep fin aluminum heart sinks and external driver technology enables one of our LED tubes to do the work of two alternative options. The result is lower electricity consumption, less heat output and greater performance."
Save 65% in Lighting Costs
Independence LED has seen demand for several De-Lamping scenarios, all of which produce 50% or more in lighting savings:
- LED Retrofitting 2'x4' office troffers containing four, 32 watt 4', T8 fluorescent tubes to an LED Retrofit Kit consisting of two, 4', 22 watt tubes powered by one external driver. This reduces the total fixture wattage from 128 watts to 44 watts, resulting in a 66% lighting savings.Four $35 imported Chinese tubes to replace four 32 watt fluorescent tubes may seem to be a less expensive solution than $68 US Made LED tubes. However, buyers have to take the cost per unit off the table and look at the fixture retrofit cost. 4 x $35 = $140 while 2 x 68 = $136. The value is in the FIXTURE Retrofit cost and not the tube cost. Plus the US made tubes by Independence LED have a 10 year warranty vs the imported tubes that often cap out at 5 years.
- LED Retrofitting 2'x2' office troffers containing two, 32 watt, 2' U-shaped fluorescent tubes (which is essentially four, 2' fluorescent tubes) to an LED Retrofit Kit consisting of two,2', 11 watt tubes powered by one external driver. This reduces the total fixture wattage from 64 watts to 22 watts, resulting in a 68% lighting savings.
- LED Retrofitting a fixture with a pair of 8' fluorescent tubes at 60 watts each (total fixture wattage 120w) to an LED Retrofit Kit consisting of a pair of 4' 29 watt tubes, run end-to-end, powered by one external driver. This reduces the total fixture wattage from 120 watts to 58 watts, resulting in over 50% energy savings. This approach to de-lamping is often accompanied by an installation without the de-lamping with tube for tube replacements to show the end user the comparable output in foot candles. This way the end user is included in the decision making process.
Independence LED has installed retrofit kits in the commercial and industrial, warehousing, educational, parking garages, hospitality and multi-family residential markets.

So it seems that I have repeated my experience back in Paris in 2015. I had a case of food poisoning which added a weird and painful aspect to my trip back then. And it seems that a similar thing (if not the same) happened to me during the conclusion of a business trip I made recently, when I was returning from Luxembourg.
See, I was in Luxembourg for three nights. On my last day, I began my day as usual, by eating breakfast in the hotel. After doing so, I checked out, and then I slowly headed to the airport in order to catch my mid-morning flight back home. I was flying from Luxembourg to Berlin via Zurich.
Things were still okay while I was in Luxembourg Airport. But during the first flight, it seems that something was off. I felt bloated and weird. And when I finally landed in Zurich, the first thing I did was visit the restroom.
After that, I thought that was it, so I found a cafe and got myself some coffee and a muffin. I didn't realise that would be my last meal for the day.
In the second flight, I felt sick. I felt warm and cold at the same time. I was sitting on an exit row, and I was sweating. After take off, I went to the back of the plane because I needed to use the restroom. And then I just stayed there. A flight attendant noticed that I wasn't feeling well, so I told her that I might have had food poisoning. She gave me some pills against nausea, as well as against vomiting. I stayed in the back of the plane until we landed in Berlin. I took a cab to get home quickly, and upon entering the house, I headed straight to the toilet.
I ended up going to the toilet 12 times that day. Oh, I even got a visit from the emergency services doctor in the middle of the night.
The next day, things became better, though my doctor still told me to stay at home for 2 days.
Looking back, I don't know what it was. It was either food poisoning, or some stomach flu, or as they say, gastroenteritis. But it definitely wasn't fun in the context of travel. I just don't understand why these things happen to me when I am in places like Paris or Luxembourg, and not when I am in Yangon or Cuernavaca.

I think some people are more prone to food poisoning than others - or at least, react more strongly to the common symptoms. Feng gets sick from food easily, I don't. That said, I got a mild bout of food poisoning in Buenos Aires in January, I blame it on a yogourt because we had a heat wave and fridges are notoriously warm-ish in BA... still, not a fun experience, although I wasn't too sick, just mild symptoms.ReplyDelete

Meet Tree Man, a Sexy Fitness Athlete the Internet Is Full-On Obsessed With
This post is also available in: Español
When Twitter user @vickto_willy published a series of tweets along with a photo saying, "This is not a man, this is a tree" — the internet fell in love. But who is the mystery tree man?
After some investigating, the internet discovered that the object of Willy's affection was Danny Jones.
Jones is a fitness athlete and online personal trainer based in Southern California. At 6'7″, he is a tall glass of protein shake.
We can't help but drool over Jones' Instagram that shows the mountain man enjoying pizza, wearing bras, showing off his bare booty and posing next to doors. Random, but who are we to judge? We just took a photo of a vintage Britney Spears poster we had bought from The Wall.
Here are 16 photos of "Tree Man" paired with some random observations:
1. This is the photo that made Tree Man famous.
2. Tree Man loves posing next to doors to show his size.
3. Here he is with another one, only this time shirtless.
4. These jorts are actually an extra large, but on him they are tight AF. So tight they are actually now considered janties, or jean panties.
6. We love that he explores his feminine side, even if it is at Halloween.
7. He has a tendency to cover his junk with things, like roosters …
8. … and smiley faces.
Current condition. 262 lbs. – I've come to the realization the longer I do this, the more my perspective changes. My idea of an off week is now much different than what it once was. There is no need to be perfect, just show consistent improvement and your best weeks now will look like a bad weeks in the future. – Questions? Email me or visit my site. ? firstname.lastname@example.com ? www.dannyjonesfitness.com –
9. With a body like that, we can forgive the flip flops.
Having a few beers today, but still trying to stick to my meal plan for the most part. Brought my Level-1 meal replacement protein with me while everyone else is having double bacon cheeseburgers ? . Dieting isn't easy but this stuff makes it easiER. Get the Ice Cream Sandwich flavor and thank me later. . Free shipping using my link: . www.1stphorm.com/dannyjonesfitness .

In this introduction to glass fusing, learn how to create patterns and how glass is shaped in the kiln. Walk away with a serving platter perfect for your favorite sushi rolls! This activity is family friendly and does not involve handling molten glass or working with the kilns.
Kenton Pratt began studying art under his ceramic and sculptor father. Simply put Kenton upgraded from Play-Doh to clay at a young age. He then continued his education at Anderson University. After graduating he focused on glassblowing at Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center in New Jersey. Then he had the opportunity to work for the Corning Museum of Glass. Being a Corning glassblower meant traveling onboard cruise ships and working molten glass while sailing the seas. Traveling from the Mediterranean to Caribbean seas and across the Pacific Ocean from Alaska to Australia. Kenton was also a La Wayaka Current fellowship artist at their northern Norway location. Wherever his travels take him, Kenton has found inspiration in the landscapes, cities, and friends met along the way. Now back home in Indiana, Kenton has bulging sketchbooks waiting to be transformed into sculpture.

In her grief and despair, Anna Spafford heard a soft voice speaking to her, "You were saved for a purpose!" Just then she remembered something a friend had once said: "It's easy to be grateful and good when you have so much, but take care that you are not a fair-weather friend to God."
Job and his wife suffered the loss of their children, their wealth and Job's health. Reaching the end of her endurance his wife cried out, "Why don't you curse God and die?"
Job answered, "Have you forgotten what God did for us. How can we take the good and not the bad along with it?"
Job and Horatio Spafford were both men of faith, great wealth and possessions. Job lived in Uz in the kingdom and Edom and Spafford lived in Chicago, Ill., two different times and two different worlds. Misfortune struck both; they lost their wealth and their children. In fact, their lives paralleled each other in numerous ways.
Job lived an irreproachable life. He was devoted to God and turned away from evil. All the people esteemed him as the greatest man in the east.
The Spaffords lived a charmed life. They had five healthy children, were dedicated Christians, did great work and were well-respected.
Because God thought so highly of Job, Satan challenged Him and said Job was "religious" and "blameless" because it paid to be good. Would Job be good if his life wasn't perfect? God gave Satan power over Job but he was not to harm him or take his life. (Job 1:7-12)
Later, while Job's children were having a party at the home of the older brother, servants rushed in to tell him that not only had his workers been attacked and killed and his live stock had been stolen, that a bolt of lightning had struck his sheep and the shepherds, marauding parties raided his camels and massacred his servants and that his sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine when a tornado struck the house, it collapsed and his children were killed. (Job 1:13‑19)
Job ripped off his robes, fell to the ground and worshipped God. "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised" (Job 1:21). Job suffered at the hands of Satan. He never blamed God.
"Although you incited me against Job to ruin him without cause, he maintained his integrity." God told Satan.
Satan retorted, "He'd curse you to your face if you took away his health."
"Very well, do what you like but don't kill him."
It isn't certain just what Job's illness was. His body was covered with painful decaying sores; he had nightmares and became disfigured. Yet, Job did not sin.
Job's friends, older than he, came to visit. They hardly recognized him and wept when they saw him. They sat on the ground with Job and no one talked because of his suffering.
After a while, Job spoke. His existence was no longer a joy. He Questioned God and asked what he had done to deserve such punishment. He was angry but he did not curse God.
Job's friends told him God undoubtedly was punishing him for some sin and he should be grateful that God was disciplining him. Even though Job felt unworthy and didn't understand, he went straight to God for answers. Job asked for forgiveness, reaffirmed his faith, interceded with God on behalf of his friends and asked Him to forgive them.
Like Job, the Spaffords had everything going their way. But then, also like Job, they had their faith tested. Their four-year-old son, Horatio, Jr., died of scarlet fever.
Then, in Oct. 1871, when the Great Chicago Fire broke out, Spafford had invested much of his wealth in real estate. Not only did the blaze destroy most of Chicago but also most of Spafford's holdings.
But, again like Job, the Spaffords did not despair. Their home had been spared and they had their four daughters. God had been good. The Spaffords used what resources they had left to feed the hungry, help the homeless, care for the sick and injured and comfort their grief-stricken neighbors. The Great Chicago Fire was a great American tragedy; the Spaffords used it to show the love of Christ to those in need.
In 1873, Anna's health was failing. Hoping to put behind the tragic loss of their son and the Chicago fire, the Spaffords planned a trip to Europe on the French steamer Ville du Havre. God had other plans. The day they were to sail for Europe Spafford had a business emergency and could not leave. He sent Anna and the children ahead and planned to follow the next day.
Before the family could reunite, a British iron sailing ship struck the Ville du Havre and it sank in just 12 minutes, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Anna survived; but her four daughters did not.
When Anna reached Cardiff, Wales, she sent her husband a brief and heartbreaking cable "Saved alone. What shall I do …?"
Spafford left Chicago immediately to go to his wife and bring her home. Along the way, the ship's captain told Spafford, "I believe we are now passing the place where the Ville du Havre was wrecked."
That night, alone in his cabin, Spafford penned the words to his famous hymn, "It Is Well With My Soul." His faith in God never faltered.
The Spaffords returned to Chicago, where God blessed them with another son and two daughters. Tragically, this four-year-old son, also named Horatio, just like his brother before him, died from scarlet fever.
In September of 1881 the Spafford family and a few of their friends left America for Israel and settled in the old part of Jerusalem and started a work that later became known as the "American Colony." Their only desire was to show the love of Jesus to those around them.
Spafford died of Malaria on Oct. 16, 1888, in Jerusalem. Anna continued their work until her death in 1923. The Spaffords are buried in Jerusalem.
God blessed Job in his later years more abundantly than ever; giving gave him seven sons, three daughters, 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys.
"After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. And so he died, old and full of years" (Job 42:16-17, NIV).
It matters not what culture, generation or financial status we have; God allows suffering. His grace and peace can sustain us, allowing for our growth and His glory.

Raspberry And Chocolate Mousse
I think every mom can understand how all we need time for everything, especially when we tell about preparing dishes. I really try to do only healthy food, buy only healthy products, but…you can recognize that I have a sweet tooth because I am a blogger and I share with you all sweet recipes. So, my children and my husband are happy when I try new recipes for my blog. But except blogging, as a mom, I need to do a lot of things, so time is limited for dessert. Except for time, at this hot weather, I don't have any desire to pass a lot of time baking some…
No-Bake Strawberry Icebox Cake
Every time when I want to prepare some dessert (to bake a great cake) I imagine that I don't have an inspiration to do it because of time I need to pass for baking and a lot of ingredients, that I actually must buy and prepare. Except for it, the cake is not the best way to eat something sweet on a hot summer day. I prefer to do some light dessert (no-bake) like this one. Especially I like some dessert with juicy fruits and berries. This dessert includes a lot of strawberries! What can be better in summer?
Stovetop Rice Custard
Recently I recognized that I have a new hobby – to collect old recipes. Actually, I don't collect them, but I'm interested in it and I like to cook some dishes from the past and know that it has a history. This recipe is very old. I read that this dessert was prepared in the Middle Ages. I'm not sure, that this recipe was the same as the recipe I found, but I think that the key ingredients are still like in original. Why the recipe is still popular and didn't lose into the ages? Because of its simplicity and delicious taste. You need only 10 minutes for preparing a…
7 Simple Raw Vegan Dessert Recipes
We all love holidays, especially the winter holidays. This is the greatest time of the year because you can believe in a miracle. Everything is a fairy, shops are illuminated and decorated with Christmas trees. It looks amazing! As for me, I like Christmas time because of the opportunity to be together with my family and set around the table, eating festive dishes and joying. But holidays have another side of the coin. Delicious food and passive way of passing time are very bad for my figure. I can't say that I have a pretty good body because I like baking and I always prepare some dessert for my daughters…
Baileys Truffles
I know a lot of people who decide to buy different presents for someone special instead of make something by themselves. Sure, that's easy and unique decision to make a gift when you are busy. But, if you have a little free time you have to try preparing those perfect candies. I write about my favorite chocolate desserts so often, that's why I think you know my chocolate addiction. This post about Baileys Truffles is not an exception.
Golden Oreo Strawberry Cheesecake Bars
This weekend I have checked a new recipe. I can say that I have never made it before, but I couldn't describe my impression after that. The Golden Oreo Strawberry Cheesecake Bars are very very cool. They contain everything I love! Unfortunately, I didn't have fresh strawberry, so I used frozen. Maybe, this recipe is perfect in summer or spring.
Easy Raspberry Cheesecake Bites
If you try these Easy Raspberry Cheesecake Bites, then they could be your favorite dessert. My children like preparing it even I do not have a time for help them.
5 Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Buttet Slice (no bake)
I can say that this dessert is perfect for lazy housewives. For example, sometimes I do not have time for exquisite cake, so I have to prepare simple desserts.

This approach prevents advanced persistent threats and malware from ever executing, effectively redefining the standard of endpoint security.
"Cylance is changing the fundamentals of how cyberattacks are identified and prevented," said Peter Kuper, Partner on IQT's Investments team. "Our partnership with Cylance is intended to further enhance how artificial intelligence and related technologies prevent malware and advanced threats from ever executing. Reducing the risks posed by cyberthreats is critical in supporting the missions of our government customers."
