Food is more than just a word. Everyone loves food. We can talk about it for hours without any boredom. Before it was turned into an art, Indian food was all about parathas, doshas, sarso ki saag and spicy curry. Indian food has always enjoyed a rich heritage in the culinary culture of the world. However, there are some healthy facts about some of our favorite Indian food that many of us are unaware of.
Rice is a principal food in India. Nearly everybody cherishes eating rice and is likewise thought to be a solid Indian food as it contains a high amount of energy. Brown rice is significantly more advantageous as it has less measure of energy when contrasted with white rice. Consisting of good amount of energy source and fiber, 200 grams of white rice would approx. contain 420 calories.
Do you know Gulab Jamun is way older than a few of our existing monuments. Yes, you read that right! The deep fried dough balls, dipped in sugary syrup were first made in the Mediterranean region, before they came up to India. Since the balls are made using milk, it is very rich in calcium, and single consumption of Gulab Jamun in a day can provide us our required daily calcium value.
Ragi mudde is a wholesome meal in some parts of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. It is very good for bones. One of the health benefits of ragi ball or mudde is it helps in making your bones strong. It has a good amount of vitamin D and calcium, the key nutrition elements required for children and aged.
Indian curry is abundantly adored far and wide and it is generally a direct result of the solid flavors it contains. Since it has a decent measure of oil, people regularly abstain eating it. If you like spices, add a good amount of healthy oil, this healthy food is going to give your taste bud a ride for sure. The Indian curry's base is essential. You can also supplant the cream with yogurt, or common coconut milk and utilize a sound cooking strategy for it and you are ready.
Paneer or Cottage cheese is prepared from curdling of milk. The amount of fat in paneer relies upon whether it is prepared from full cream or toned milk. With rich in protein, consuming paneer helps our body easily digest. Its higher calcium nutrient also helps in building strong bones and teeth. It also helps to reduce weight.
The chapatis or Roti is a staple food in North India. Prepared from wheat flour, this healthy food is very high in energy. Roti consists of a rich source of carbohydrate and contains around 60 calories. Chapatis act as one of the best foods to add to a weight loss diet.
Lentil is an eatable pulse. It is a thick plant of the legume family grown for the lens shaped seeds. Rich in protein, lentils offers about 30% of their calories. Some of the proteins found in lentils include the crucial amino acids isoleucine and lysine. They also comprise of vitamin B1, folate, dietary fiber, and minerals such as iron. Some of the health benefits of consuming lentils are it regulates our blood cholesterol level and blood sugar levels in our body.
Curd is prepared from skimmed fermented milk. Eating curd is very healthy, as it contains a good percentage of calcium and good bacteria. This helps our body to heal easily and keeps our digestive system healthy.

7 of us packrafted this 1.5 mile section of river last night. Tough to call it a 'river' at only 200 cfs but at a drop of 122'/mile it is a thriller. Called class II-III the only place I saw anything in print, at this water level it is class III at the but in and for the 1st half of the run then it is class II for the 2nd half. We all thought it would be a lot more fun at 250-300 cfs. Take-out is at the Edgerton-Parks Road bridge.

$125 · Vintage Costume Jewelry Avon Joan Rivers Sarah Coventry Signed 27PC Mixed Lot
This is a pretty lot of mixed jewellery purchased from an estate sale...several pieces are signed, most are in excellent to minty condition, all are wearable. There's a total of 27-pieces, (earrings count as 1), most of which are Sarah Coventry and, just so you know, some of the pieces are marked Canada when the line went international in the 1980's.
(pic #2)...
all but the the two gold chain necklaces with bead accents & the turquoise & white twisted necklace are Sarah Coventry...the two necklaces with chains are not signed but the moulded beads are identical to the two marked Sarah Coventry so they maybe Sarah Coventry just not signed?? the turquoise & white twisted necklace is Avon but not marked. The bead necklaces with tassels (hard-to-find) are 96" long (each) and other than layered around your neck can probably be worn as a belt.
large flower brooch/pin (Tahitian Flower) became all the rage in 1969...this island-inspired peach & green enamel flower has goldtone accents & measures about 2.5" in diameter
faux turquoise ring & peachy/orange bead ring with matching clip-on earrings are both adjustable
both Joan Rivers cuff watches look unworn but the plastic insert between the watch & stem has been removed so both need new batteries
the plastic circles, I think, are interchangeable inserts from other Sarah Coventry pieces & with a little imagination, several combinations can be made with this lot.
Reasonable Offers considered...pick up only, NO delivery, will ship (YOUR COST)!
be sure to check my other ads for an assortment of fashion jewellery & more mixed lots

For lovers of history, there is a lot to see in and around the city. Here are a few significant sights one should make time for during their time in Ahmedabad.
City AttractionsGo Back
Somnath Temple
Somnath Temple
It is famous for having been resurrected 17 times since it was first built. Home to one of the 12 Jyotirlings of India, it is believed that the original temple was built by the moon god and was made entirely of gold. After having been razed to the ground, Ravana rebuilt it in silver and then Krishna rebuilt it in wood. In 1026 AD, it was looted for the first time by Mahmud Ghazni, followed by Afzal Khan and then Aurangzeb. The temple has been looted and destroyed a total 17 times.
The Sabarmati River and Ashram
The Sabarmati River and Ashram
Sabarmati Ashram is a minimalistic place which every tourist coming to Ahmedabad must visit. Also known as Gandhi Ashram or Satyagraha Ashram, this was one of the former residences of Mahatma Gandhi. Having spent about 12 years at the ashram, with his wife Kasturba, it is from here that he led the Dandi March. It was one of the most notable revolutions of our country, which eventually contributed to India winning its independence from the British Raj. Today, the government has established this ashram as a national monument. You can easily get directions to the ashram from your hotel in Ahmedabad.
Jumma Mosque
Jumma Mosque
An integral part of the history of old Ahmedabad, this mosque is one of the largest in the Indian subcontinent. Built by Ahmed Shah, the inscription on the Mihrab of the mosque commemorates its inauguration that took place on January 4th, 1424. This place of worship was originally built only for the private use of the sultans.

If you're a galley slave you need to have a bit of fun, but they have everyone working too hard and being miserable with it. But they just keep banging the drum, chuck the mugs overboard and care about no one but themselves."
They're intangibles. Things like motivation. And inspiration. There's then always about ensuring that priorities are not lost in the clutter. Real priorities. Not the small stuff. But, for various reasons, many of us are bogged down by the small stuff. Perhaps even addicted to them. Scared of them.

The Feed-In Tariff: European and U.S. Policies to Promote Renewable Electricity
On May 29, the Climate & Energy Program in partnership with the Heinrich Böll Foundation hosted a luncheon for staffers, business representatives, and European and U.S. climate policy experts on Capitol Hill to discuss the "feed-in tariff." The feed-in tariff is a policy to promote renewable electricity that has been credited with driving the deployment of renewable electricity in Europe and is being considered by several U.S. states and in Congress. The event featured Maja Wessels, vice president of Government Affairs at First Solar and John Ferrell, research associate from the New Rules Project at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. Arne Jungjohann from Heinrich Böll moderated the discussion.
Farrell started off the discussion by providing a "feed-in tariffs 101" and explaining why it is an effective policy to promote the production and use of renewable electricity. Feed-in tariffs vary in their details but have three defining advantages: they are simple, providing an easy-to-understand regulatory structure and encouraging firms to increase their margins by producing electricity more efficiently; they democratize ownership of renewable energy production by making it attractive for any group of people to invest in renewable energy generation; and they provide certainty to investors that electricity generated will be purchased at a set price, thereby ensuring a predictability and lowering the cost of capital. Wessels described the success of First Solar, an American solar energy technology company and how it became the second largest and most cost efficient manufacturer of solar photovoltaic modules worldwide. First Solar was unable to find a solar market in the United States due to the stop-and-go nature of renewable initiatives and the lack of market certainty. In contrast, it was able to thrive in Germany because the feed-in tariff policy ensured a stable market and access to the electricity grid for renewable energy. She hoped that the cost of solar energy would fall until the need for the feed-in tariff disappeared.
Several guests were interested in whether the feed-in tariff would be compatible with or completely replace a Renewable Energy Standard, a policy that has been supported by leaders in Congress and several leading businesses. Also discussed were the politics of the feed-in tariff: given its simplicity, why hasn't it thrived in the United States to date. Finally, questions were raised on how the policy was affected by the financial crisis and whether the renewable energy sector actually generated new jobs. Wessels explained that, like with everything else, financing for the feed-in tariff had been affected by the financial crisis, but since the feed-in tariff is financed by ratepayers and not utilities or the government, the renewable sector remained robust in Germany. She also suggested that the growth of renewable electricity in Germany has led to a net increase in jobs, with little public complaint about any displacement of jobs from traditional electricity generating. She noted that the utility sector originally objected to its lost relative share of the market but is increasingly becoming active in installing new renewable generating capacity in order to compete. Finally, she stressed that, as a major exporting country, Germany recognized the market potential for renewable energy technology and has been working to be at the forefront of that field.

The bamboo flooring is factory with oil from Woca from Denmark oiled machine and thereby directly accessible after installation and cleaning. In addition, the bamboo flooring can be protected by treatment after laying with hard wax. Oiled hardwood floors have a very low gloss effect and therefore act very natural. The surface is not completely closed, in contrast to the sealed parquet. External effects such as humidity have a greater impact. In return, damage or stains can be easily treated with an oiled bamboo flooring.

Genachowski: Concerned About 'Perfect Storm' Quality of Traditional Media
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said Friday he was very concerned about what he saw as the "perfect storm" quality to the current state of traditional media.
That, of course, is the reference to fisherman whose boat was lost in a confluence of powerful forces and key decisions.
"Broadcasters today are confronted with a difficult economy, a plummeting advertising market, and rapid technological change buffeting traditional business plans," he told a National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters conference crowd in Washington Friday (Sept. 25).
He said there was a fourth challenge for minority owners--access to capital, "made even more difficult by a capital market that's in the basement."
The chairman said that one thing that hasn't changed since he was at the FCC--in the mid-1990's--was the status of minority and female ownership. He pointed out that while 34% of the population are minorities, only 8% of commercial full-power radio stations, and only 3% of full-power TV stations, are owned by minorities. Women make up half the population but only own 6% of full-power commercial radio stations and only 5% of commercial full-power TVs.
"This has been a long-time concern of the agency, and I think it is important to note that concern about minority and female ownership remains bipartisan."

Corofin veteran Ciaran McGrath isn't contemplating retirement anytime soon, but he admitted after their most recent All-Ireland club success that it would be local derbies that he'd miss more than anything.
A surprise reply to a question put to him by the Connacht Tribune as many would feel that walking up the steps of the Hogan Stand to collect the Andy Merrigan Cup is the pinnacle of any club player's career.
And while McGrath cherished those moments in the last three years as Corofin swept all before them and claimed a historic third consecutive All-Ireland title when defeating Kilcoo last Sunday, he feels that he will miss playing local derbies in Galway more.
"The way that ended (All-Ireland club final), you would probably miss it, but I think the days when you are not playing in Tuam Stadium against Tuam or Caherlistrane and the local derbies, I think those are the days you would miss more, more so than days like these, because these don't come around too often," said McGrath.
"So, I think the local rivalries we will miss when we walk away, more than the glory days out in Croke Park. But, look it, when we will look back on it we will find it surreal, what we have achieved, but hopefully there is more to come."
The Allianz Football and Hurling Leagues are back this weekend and so is the Hogan Stand Match Tracker. Join us on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon for live score and updates from the opening rounds.Tweet

Lots of people have asked your question. Here
are some links to answers:
There's even an 'ecosystem and biome song' on
youtube, but I'm not sending you the link, because
the beginning didn't interest me.
Reading a bit of each link, I'd say that
there's a lot of overlap between the definitions
of ecosystems and biomes - that's in the last
link. Ecosystems are generally thought of as
being smaller than biomes, so that there are a
number of ecosystems within one biome. One link
said that biomes consider the non-biological parts
of the environment, too [the 'abiotic' parts] such
as the soil and the weather. I like that, but
Wikipedia says ecosystems also include the
non-living parts of their environment.. I think
of ecosystems as being systems of plants and
animals that live together and compete and
cooperate for food and other resources. I think
'ecosystem' is an older word than 'biome', at
least in terms of common scientific usage.
I recommend checking out Wikipedia.com for
their descriptions of the 2 words, too.

Butterflies are beautiful to look at, and collectors enjoy preserving multiple species to admire their wing patterns. If you've found a dead butterfly or captured one that you want to save, you can either pin it in a display case or encapsulate it in a clear epoxy resin. No matter how you display your butterfly, you need to first mount it into the position you want. When you're finished, you'll have a beautiful display that can last a lifetime!
Method 1 of 3:
Mounting Your Butterfly
1Place the butterfly in a jar with a wet paper towel for 2-7 days. When butterflies die, their bodies become very brittle and will break apart easily unless they're relaxed. Wet a paper towel with warm water and set it on the bottom of a glass jar with a lid. Pour in 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of antiseptic like Lysol into the bottom to prevent mold from forming. Set the butterfly in the jar and seal it for 2-7 days.[1] X Research source
- Smaller butterflies that are only 1–3 inches (2.5–7.6 cm) long will only take about 2 days to relax, while larger butterflies will take up to 1 week.
- If your butterfly doesn't fit in a jar, you may also use a plastic container with a lid.
2Push a mounting pin through the center of the butterfly's thorax. Once the butterfly is relaxed, take it out of the glass jar and carefully stick an insect mounting pin through the middle of the butterfly's thorax, or the middle body section. Use a spade-tip forceps to slightly spread the butterfly's wings apart if they aren't already open. Push the pin through so one-third of its length sticks out from the bottom of your butterfly.[2] X Research source
- Insect mounting pins can be purchased online or in specialty science and lab equipment stores.
- Insect pins come in many different sizes, but you only need #2 or #3 pins with a diameter of about 1⁄50 in (0.51 mm).
3Set the butterfly's body in the spreading board. Spreading boards are used for preserving insects so you can spread out their wings to dry. Grab the butterfly by its body using your fingers or a pair of forceps and place it in the center of your spreading board. Push the pin about 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) into the board so it stays in place. Slide the butterfly's body down the pin until the wings are level with the sides of the board.[3] X Research source
- Spreading boards can be purchased online in a fixed or adjustable size.
4Spread and pin the top wings out so they're perpendicular to the butterfly's body. Stick a pin through the main vein along the top of the butterfly's wing about 1⁄4–1⁄2 in (0.64–1.27 cm) from its body. Hold the butterfly's body steady with your non-dominant hand and slowly pull the top wing open using the pin with your dominant hand. When the bottom of the wing makes a 90-degree angle with the butterfly's body, stick the pin into your board. Repeat the process on the other side of the butterfly.[4] X Research source
- Avoid touching the butterfly's wings with your hands since you may accidentally rub off the scales.
5Open the bottom wings until the pattern lines up with the top wings. Once the top wings are pinned to your mounting board, lightly push another pin on the top edge of the bottom wing. Do not pierce through the butterfly's wing, but gently push it open instead. Slide the bottom wings underneath the top wings until the patterns between them line up with one another.[5] X Research source
- The bottom wings do not need to be secured with pins.
6Hold the wings flat with a strip of wax paper. Cut out 2 strips of wax paper that are 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) wide and 2 in (5.1 cm) longer than the height of the butterfly's wings. Hold the pieces of wax paper across butterfly's wings and secure them in place with pins. Put the pins directly above the top wings and below the bottom wings so they don't move or curl while they dry..[6] X Research source
Tip: If you're preserving multiple butterflies on the same mounting board, cut strips of wax paper as long as the board and place a pin on the tops and bottoms of each butterfly's wing.
7Let the butterfly dry on the board for 2 days before removing the pins around the wings. Leave the butterfly in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, such as a kitchen counter or on a desk. Once the butterfly is completely dry, remove the pins and paper around the butterfly's wings from your mounting board.[7] X Research source
- Drying time may take longer depending on the size of your butterfly.
- Be careful handling your butterfly once it's dry since it will be very fragile.
- If you plan on preserving your butterfly in resin instead of in a display case, remove the pin from its thorax.
Method 2 of 3:
Pinning a Butterfly in a Display Case
1Stick your butterfly into the foam backing of the display case. Use the pin already going through the butterfly's thorax. Get an insect display case or shadow box with a foam backing so you can easily hang your butterfly. Open the front of the case and press the pin into the back by about 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm).[8] X Research source
- Shadow boxes and insect display cases can be purchased online or you can make your own.
- Keep multiple butterflies or insects in your display case, or use multiple smaller case to make a wall collage.
2Label the butterfly if you want to remember the species. Use a small strip of paper as a label, and write the name of the butterfly on it. Secure it next to the butterfly using mounting pins so you don't forget what species you have preserved.[9] X Research source
Tip: Use the species' scientific name to make your butterfly collection look more academic.
3Seal the display case so it's airtight and hang it. Put the cover back on your display case and make sure it's closed to keep your butterfly completely preserved. Hang your display case in a well-lit area but out of direct sunlight.[10] X Research source
- Keep mothballs in the case if you aren't hanging it right away so your butterflies don't start to mold.
- If you keep your butterfly in sunlight, the color of its wings might fade.
Method 3 of 3:
Preserving a Butterfly in Resin
1Pour a thin base layer of clear resin into a mold. Mix a clear epoxy resin in a plastic container, following the directions on the back of the package. Use a rubber mold that's 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) wider than your butterfly's wingspan in any shape, such as a flat disc, a rectangular prism, or a round sphere. Fill the bottom of the mold with about 1⁄4–1⁄2 in (0.64–1.27 cm) of the resin. Pour the resin slowly to prevent any air bubbles from forming.[11] X Research source
- Resin can be purchased at any hardware store.
- Rubber molds made for resin can be purchased online.
2Set the butterfly in the center of your resin. Pinch the body of your butterfly between your fingers or with a pair of spade-tip forceps. Carefully set the butterfly in the middle of your mold so it's partially submerged by the resin.[12] X Research source
- Be careful while handling your butterfly since it will be fragile and could break apart.
3Let the resin set for 15-20 minutes until it gels. As your resin dries, it will first form into a gel before it completely hardens. Cover your mold with a container so the resin dries faster. Leave the resin alone for 15-20 minutes so it can start to solidify.[13] X Research source
- Don't let your resin set completely or else the other layers of resin will not adhere to it.
4Cover the rest of the butterfly with your resin. Slowly pour the remainder of your resin around the butterfly so you don't damage the wings. Completely cover the butterfly so it's encased in the resin and filled to the top of the mold.[14] X Research source
- Maintain a slow and constant pour so air bubbles don't form inside your resin.
5Let the resin cure for 3 days before popping it out of the mold. Leave the mold in a cool, dry place so your mold can cure properly. Give your resin at least 3 days to cure so it can completely harden. Once the resin is finished drying, peel back the rubber mold to remove the resin.[15] X Research source
- Use your resin butterfly as a table decoration or as a paperweight.
Community Q&A
QuestionWhy is my caterpillar's poo light green in color?Sidney SustachekCommunity AnswerThe food an animal eats affects the color of its feces. If you are feeding your caterpillar a type of leaves or seeds, the color of the food passes through the organs and the color is washed out by the bodily fluids in the organs. That then leads the color to get washed into the colon, where the feces forms.
QuestionDo you need to sanitize the butterfly before mounting?Community AnswerNot, that is not needed. What you do need to do is: Create a relaxing chamber from a jar or plastic box with a folded paper towel that is moistened with water at the bottom of the container. Add an antiseptic to prevent mold growth. Place the butterfly on the paper towel base and keep the container closed for two to seven days, depending on its size (larger butterflies need longer to relax).
- You may need to pin the butterfly's head and antennae in place if you want to keep them in a different position.Thanks!

About This Article
Preserving a butterfly is a unique and beautiful way to decorate your home. You'll need a jar, pin, spreading board, display case, wax paper, and antiseptic. To stop your butterfly from decaying, place it in a sealed jar on a piece of wet paper towel. Then, pour in 1 teaspoon of antiseptic like Lysol. After 7 days, remove the butterfly and pin it to your spreading board by its neck and both wings. Place a strip of wax paper over each wing to keep them flat and leave it for 2 days. At this point, all you need to do is seal your butterfly in a display case so it's airtight, and hang it on the wall. For more tips, including how to preserve a butterfly in resin, read on!

Harris Health System Nursing's mission, vision, values and philosophy form the foundation for Nursing's strategic plan. These guiding statements are used as the touchstone for strategy development, implementation plans and evaluation criteria.
Mission: Nursing provides high quality health and healing services to Harris County residents.
Vision: Nursing will be recognized locally and nationally for excellence in professional practice and patient care.
Values: Nursing believes that every individual (patient, family, and staff) has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. We value reaching our highest potential through:
• Integrity• Inquiry• Innovation• Partnerships• Lifelong Learning
• Integrity• Inquiry• Innovation• Partnerships• Lifelong Learning
Theoretical Framework The NPPM's theoretical framework is based on Therapeutic Capacity (Waters, 1997). The premise of this framework is that nursing demonstrates three practice dimensions: clinical care provision, relational dynamics, and healing connections. The assumption is that the Therapeutic Capacity of individual nurses and nursing as an organizational entity depend on the efficacy of practice within each of these dimensions. To achieve optimal patient/family outcomes, nurses must exhibit therapeutic capacity in each of these dimensions.
Research and Evidence-based Practice Advancement of nursing practice and achievement of optimal patient outcomes result from the generation of new knowledge and the application of evidence and best practice recommendations honed through research and its translation to practice. Harris Health nurses perform clinical inquiry through a variety of activities. Leaders and clinicians have received education regarding the differences between the three types of clinician inquiry: quality improvement, evidence-based practice and research.
Led by a PhD-prepared nurse researcher, our nurses, have used the evidence-based practice process in completing research projects resulting in numerous podium and poster presentation at state regional, national, and international forums.

In both the summary and also the paraphrase we have quoted Curtis's "clustering together in a ball that is dense" a phrase that lies at the heart of her description of wintering honeybees. For all of us to describe this clustering in just about any language apart from Curtis's will be pointless since her description is admirably precise.
Quoting Authoritative Language
You shall would also like to make use of quotations that lend authority to your work. When quoting a professional or some prominent political, artistic, or figure that is historical you raise your own work by placing it in esteemed company. Quote respected figures to ascertain background information in a paper, and your readers will have a tendency to perceive that given information as reliable. Quote the opinions of respected figures to endorse some statement that you have made, and your statement becomes more credible to your readers. As an example, in an essay that you could write in the need for reading well, you can take advantage of a passage from Thoreau's Walden:
It "is a exercise that is noble" writes Henry David Thoreau in Walden, "and something that may task your reader a lot more than any exercise which the customs associated with day esteem. It takes a training such as the athletes underwent. Books must be read as deliberately and reservedly as they were written."
By quoting a philosopher that is famous essayist on the subject of reading, you add legitimacy to your discussion. Read more

I'm finishing up my review for Electronic Super Joy and something just occurred to me. Whenever you secure a checkpoint, the game gives off an orgasmic moan (like, "OHH YEAH!" or "OOH LA LA!"). Any time you die, you return to the checkpoint and another groan plays. So basically, this game is getting off on your deaths. It's almost literally screwing you.

Random Year Peace Silver Dollar AU Silver Coin
The 1918 Pittman Act instructed the U.S. Mint to melt up to 350,000,000 silver dollars into bullion and to use the proceeds to purchase bullion to coin a like number of coins. The melt bullion was sold to England at $1 per ounce, and then newly mined silver was purchased from U.S. silver mines at $1 per ounce. This was above the market selling price of silver and acted as a federal subsidy to the silver mining industry. It appears that cronyism never goes out of style!
Coinciding with the passage of the Pittman Act, a movement started to issue a coin to commemorate the peace after WW I, and that such a victory coin be "issued in such quantities it will never become rare."
Production of the Morgan dollar re-started in 1921 as called for by the Pittman Act, and a competition was held to find it's replacement. The winner of the competition was Anthony de Francisci, who used his wife Tereas as his model. The obverse features Lady Liberty with a crown meant to resemble that on the Statue of Liberty. The studio window was open when de Francisci worked, hence the blowing hair of Lady Liberty on the coin.
The Peace dollar was minted from 1921-1928, as well as 1934-35. It was the last regular production dollar struck in silver. The Peace dollars were produced with ninety percent silver and ten precent copper in order to conform with the coinage act of 1837. In 1962 a silver certificate was partially redeemed for an uncirculated Morgan dollar, which set off a firestorm of interest in redeeming silver certificates to the US Treasury. Demand was huge, with some in lines pushing wheelbarrows. Several million uncirculated Morgan and Peace dollars were eventually discovered in vaults and sold off to the public.
These Peace dollars are above average circulated coins, rated as about uncirculated. The coin shows very minor traces of wear or abrasions on only the highest points on the coin. Mint luster is almost complete and the surfaces of the coin are well preserved. We have limited numbers of these available.

iPayTotal's Credit Card Processing Options for Nonprofit Organizations
There are a number of options for nonprofits when selecting a credit card processor. How a nonprofit does this is not always an easy question to answer. The options generally can be grouped into three categories:
Our Solutions
- Nonprofit's name appears on donor's credit card statements
- Excellent branding opportunities
- Funds flow quickly into nonprofit's account
- Complicated fee structures
- Wide variance of cost across processors
- Longer time to set up and more legal hoops to jump through
Third-Party Processors
If your organization does not want to apply for a merchant account, choosing a third party processor may be a solution. A third-party processor uses its own merchant account to accept donations for other organizations. The third party processor passes on the donations to the nonprofit, minus a processing fee. There may be some delay in getting the funds into your own account.
One of the downsides of using a third party processor is that often the name that shows up on the donor's credit card statement is not that of the intended nonprofit. When this happens, it is possible for the donor to be confused and to even protest the charge, sometimes resulting in a chargeback. The question for your nonprofit is whether the possibility of confusion is outweighed by the ease of setting up and managing the account.
Crowdfunding Rules
Beginning May 16, 2016, Regulation Crowdfunding acts as the law of the land in the US. For the first time, there is a legal framework for US startups to look for equity investment from the general public. Of course, this is a historic event, but it may be soon for startups to celebrate the regulation.
The reason is that capital formation is just one of the SEC's (Securities and Exchange Commission) 2 main responsibilities. The second responsibility is to maintain order and protect investors. To achieve the second objective, the new crowdfunding rules are represented with restrictions covering 3 the following spheres:
- Limitations imposed on the amount of money investors can invest
- Requirements imposed on the form and mechanism for the transactions
- Offering limitations and disclosure obligations imposed on companies

I am not what you would call a "camping personality," but when my husband and I decided to take a small weekend getaway to Wales we decided to camp. We packed our cheap camping gear which we purchased at a local Halfords and then drove to Snowdonia. We found several campsites online but they were all full upon arrival so a short drive in the countryside led us to a sign outside a farmstead that read: "Camping Available." We pulled into a sheep field-the sheep had been shuffled into another field for the occasion—and we parked alongside others who had come early morning to pitch their tents. We set up our camping gear and jumped in the car to go explore the beautiful area.
What to Wear:
Although it was August when we went on our camping trip, it was rather chilly and we wore layers of clothing and jackets to stay warm. We knew to bring waterproof clothing because Wales is known for rain and good thing we did! It rained off and on throughout our stay, however we were very lucky and experienced quite a lot of sunshine. Hiking boots is a necessary and something as waterproof as possible! My husband got stuck in the mud and lost one of his boots and was suffering with wet shoes ever since! Luckily we had packed plenty of dry socks which was our savior throughout our trip. A warm cap was also necessary as my ears would have gotten quite cold. A scarf was useful as well but what I really needed was something to cover my face and nose during the long hike up the Snowdon Mountain!
We explored the nearby town and found a wonderful pizzeria to eat dinner. We also walked around the town and enjoyed the landscape and quaint churches and buildings. It was the perfect setting and our campsite was just around the corner making it easy to find breakfast and dinner during our stay. This city has a lot of buildings made with the traditional stone and slate and it looks spectacular. There is also a river with a few small waterfalls right through the town center and it was the perfect spot to relax and get a few photos before choosing a café to sit and enjoy a warm cup of hot cocoa. We also found small shops to stock up on snacks before venturing outside town to try our legs at hiking and visiting some of the nearby ruins and old castles.
Enjoy A Pub Ride
One of the first things we did was schedule an early morning pub ride. There were several different equestrian stables in the area and we pre-booked a 5 hour Pub ride. My husband and I are both horse riders and we often look for places to ride on holiday, however this was my husband's very first horse riding holiday since he started learning to ride only months earlier. We reserved a medium-level ride but ended up getting stuck with tourists who had never sat on a horse before. Because of this, the majority of the ride was spent in walk so I recommend that if you are a rider to find a stables offering horse riding holidays for advanced riders.
Despite the majority spent walking, the views were lovely and it was fun to ride to a local pub to grab lunch before riding back to the stables. We sat outside and watched our horses nibble on the grass while we ate under the sunshine. It was a nice way to explore the mountains without having to hike!
Hike up Mount Snowdon
The drive to Snowdon was a spectacular drive in itself. The mountains and landscape was jaw droppingly beautiful with green mountain peaks and white fluffy sheep peppering the roadside. We were aware that there were two possible routes to trek up Mount Snowdon, one being from halfway up the mountain so as to be a bit of a more manageable climb and the other at the base of the mountain. My husband and I are young and fit enough so we chose to start at the bottom and work our way to the summit. We woke very early, hoping to beat the rush and allow us plenty of time to attempt this climb. We found a place to park (which was 5-10 GBP) and grabbed our small backpacks full of snacks and water to begin the long climb.
Mount Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales (and the highest mountain in England) and stands at 3,560 feet. We started at 6am and were told it could take 5 hours to climb up and down the mountain. I have lived my whole life at sea level so immediately upon the descent my breathing started to quicken and I was a rather slow climber compared to my husband who is an avid bicycler. I struggled with the steep ascent and elevation gain but we eventually made it to the halfway house. It was very foggy weather in the early morning but there were a few crazy climbers like us who scrambled inside the warmth of the small building. It was the only place for a bathroom break so I took advantage and we had a warm cup of tea and a short break before beginning again. The air was rather wet—though not really raining—and everything was getting pretty soaked so it was nice to get warm and dry for a bit before venturing back out. The climb after the halfway house was the most difficult part and everytime we thought we neared the top, the fog would reveal another steep climb upwards and upwards.
Eventually we made it to the top but instead of a spectacular view we saw nothing but wind and fog. The wind at the summit was pretty strong and it was far to cold for us to sit and relax. Not to mention there was no place to use the toilet or sit or get inside so we did the only thing we could do and begin the walk back down. Going down was just as tricky as climbing up as it was slippery and steep but we made good time.
The best reward was once we reached the bottom there was a local restaurant and we stopped for "the best hot chocolate in the world." And it was pretty darn good! That energized me enough and of course the sun began to come out a bit as we headed back to the car but the wind never seemed to let up so we were glad that our climbing was over!
All in all, it was a lovely weekend getaway and Wales is a gorgeous place to go for greenery, chilly nights, warm cocoa by the fireplace and a good hike!

Breathing San Francisco air for a day is equivalent to smoking 11 cigarettes as city chokes in wildfire pollution
The air quality in San Francisco is equivalent to the air in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and is believed to be worse than Kolkata, India.
Schools and tourist attractions in the San Francisco Bay Area were shut down and residents asked to stay indoors due to the smoke from California's deadliest wildfire.
The wildfire air pollution made air quality levels much worse than South Asia's most polluted megacities. San Francisco ordered their cable cars to return to their stations given the Air Quality Index touched 271. This is comparable to Dhaka in Bangladesh and much worse than Kolkata in India.
San Francisco, Stockton and Sacramento were the world's three "most polluted cities" on Friday morning due to the wildfires raging in Northern California, according to a nonprofit that looks at air-quality data https://t.co/ZIgeUaazKP pic.twitter.com/fDJPfnLnXa— CNN (@CNN) November 17, 2018
The AQI was recorded at 271, which meant that breathing that air for a day was equivalent to smoking 11 cigarettes. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency wrote on its website, "San Francisco's air quality has moved from red or 'unhealthy' to purple or 'very unhealthy' due to local wildfires and weather patterns."
"The Department of Public Health highly recommends that everyone stay indoors and avoid exposure to the outside air," they continued. Eight more sets of human remains were discovered on Friday which put the death toll at 71.
Mayor London Breed made an announcement that public buses would be free for a day to make sure that people have access to some enclosed transportation.
The iconic and famous Golden Gate bridge was surrounded by thick smog. As reported by Daily Mail, a local resident Melvin Karsenti shared, "It's bad. You have this constant haze over the city. The air feels thicker. I've never seen that many people wear (face) masks."

The list of missing persons grew and went from 631 to 1,011 people who are currently unaccounted for, according to authorities. However, officials have maintained that it doesn't mean that 1,011 people are missing. The Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea shared that the list was dynamic and could easily have duplicated names.
Honea told reporters, "I want you to understand that this is a dynamic list. The information I am providing you is raw data and we find there is the likely possibility that the list contains duplicate names." He added that on a positive note, around 329 people who were accounted as missing had been found.

Searches have been on to look for those who died as well as those who survived the deadliest US wildfire that has happened in a century. President Donald Trump will also be visiting the area to assess the damage.
A few of the survivors are not happy with the President who took to social media two days after the disaster to blame the wildfire on poor forest mismanagement. Trump had threatened to hold back federal payments from California. When Trump was asked whether climate change led to forest fires he said, "Maybe it contributes a little bit. The big problem we have is management."
Trump told Fox, "You need forest management. It has to be. I'm not saying that in a negative way, a positive — I'm just saying the facts."
Rescue efforts are now focusing on Paradise which is a community that houses many retired people who were unable to get out in time. Around 10,000 homes were destroyed in the wildfire.

- My new favorite shoesPosted by Debbielovesshoes on July 24, 2019
I purchased these sandals in May 2019 and wore them a few times and decided to bring them on vacation. I wore them while going out for lunch with the intention of going back to the hotel to change into sneakers afterwards before sight seeing. We never went back to the hotel and I walked 10 miles in these sandals and my feet felt great! Not only did they look feel great, they look great. I received multiple compliments on them! I love the metallic gold color. They make them a little edgy and stylish. The leather is soft and they fit true to size. I would love to buy another pair in silver. Maybe they will go on sale soon!
- STYLE AND COMFORT!Posted by Katherine on April 13, 2019
This is my second pair of the Finney sandals. I just received these yesterday and am happy beyond the moon! The color is GORGEOUS!! It is an understated gold metallic, just enough so you know it's there. The comfort is fabulous (and I am a tough customer on this)! The style is SUPER cute. Nothing but glowing reviews from me!

Boycott his blog! I stopped visiting his site earlier this year when he started to become anti-Bush over gay marriage issue. He is a well known homosexual with AIDS.
What is interesting is this attacks Bush's foreign policy, something which Sullivan cheered on until only recently.
I stopped reading Princess Andrew a long while ago, when I found out just how much of a perv he truly is.
Yep, it's all about fudge.
I like Sullivan, but even more than Hitchens, I never have ANY certainty that I know how he would think on any particular issue. He ALWAYS surprises me. Not a bad thing. Just means he's an individual.
I like Sullivan, but even more than Hitchens, I never have ANY certainty that I know how he would think on any particular issue. He ALWAYS surprises me. Not a bad thing. Just means he's an individual.
I'm hoping this is mostly tongue-in-cheek.
His title should be
Kerry: the right choice for homosexuals
Andrew, I hate it that you have become something of a liar. I thought better of you. I don't mind it much when you annoy "conservatives," I annoy them often myself, but I do mind when you just become another contributor to the tangled web, intending to deceive.
Wonder if the old barebacker is dating David Brock?
You see, folks, it is all about gay marriage. When Bush went against gay marriage, Sullivan went against Bush.
There are some valid criticisms of Bush but deciding that the correct response is to support Kerry is like choosing amputation to treat a hangnail.
Yes, Andrew has truly gone over to the dark side.
Come on, Andy. Give your readers at least a little credit. They didn't all have their brains violently sucked out moments before birth. Maybe some of them, but not all.
The spending side is, I believe, a wraparound attempt to put emphasis on a private solution with government aid.
A second GWB term will likely focus on more privatization--welfare programs, social security, et al. Hopefully, an emphasis on fixing the "reform" McLame & Co. foisted upon America, too.
Bush hasn't done everything the way I thought he should, but he is definitely getting my vote. Kerry is not a conservative. No way, no how.
Kerry is the most leftwing candidate to ever win a major party nomination in the United States. He has admitted to committing war crimes. He actively seeks to return the nation to Clinton's failed security polices which led directly to 9/11. He wants to raise taxes. He has promised to increase spending significantly.
Bush has governed as a center-right president. Not as conservative as any of us hoped, but at least as conservative as we expected. He has pulled off two major successes in the war on terror - and so far has prevented any more major attacks against the domestic US. He has cut taxes. He has not cut spending and he has folded on a number of issues to the Left.
Any conservative looking at the two has no real decision to make. Bush is their man. Is he perfect? No. But frankly even beyond the certain damage Kerry would do to the US economy and our precious freedom and soverignty, electing Kerry is the only thing we could do right now to lose the war on terror. A vote for Kerry is a vote to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
The queer agenda trumps all else.

Well, this has been another whirlwind of a semester. Still, I am allegedly going to finish this part-time MBA project I started ages ago. Allegedly, because I have to pass an exit exam and defend a Capstone project for a new business, that – shhhhh – I have zero interest in starting. For someone who comes from a family of entrepreneurs, I am oddly conservative when it comes to employment. I want my paychecks to come at regular internals in the expected amounts. Is that so wrong? However, I have a whole new level of respect for people who are going it on their own. Man, it's a lot of work.
I've been really luck this semester. I have eight classes: five face-to-face and three online. I'm only bouncing between two schools. All my students are great, and I haven't had any major issues thus far. However, Midterm Exams are looming. There's still plenty of time for things to fall apart. 🙂
I took the semester off from French so that I could finish the MBA degree in peace. Next term, I'll tie up the 2nd BA in French. And then – no more degrees! This has been a fun experiment, but I'm done. I should be starting my job search this month, and I know it won't happen overnight. Several of my colleagues were looking for years. Still, it's worth it when you finally find a place that feels like home.
So far September has been a great start to the school year. We've had two Jewish holidays, plus Labor Day off. I reconnected with some friends at the French Alliance, and I had a visit from my baby brother James who is ALL-GROWN-UP! When did that happen??? I checked out the Madeline exhibit at the New York Historical Society – love this books – and the Sesame Street exhibit at the New York Performing Arts Library. It was pretty much a month to tap into my inner child, complete with a ride on the Toys'R Us ferris wheel with James. Back to school, eh? Looking forward to October.

Ford's new guy, Jamie Allison (Photo: Ford)
By Mike Mulhern
While General Motors and Chrysler-Dodge and Toyota have all been pushing various 'green' initiatives, like electric-powered cars and hybrid-powered cars, Ford Motor Company has unabashedly been promoting a vast lineup of high-performance machinery, like the Shelby 427 and other Mustangs.
It has been a curious dichotomy, highlighted perhaps by Ford's new NASCAR marketing push with the Nationwide Mustang...while Chevrolet continues to pointedly ignore joining the racing punch line.
So news Friday of a new Ford racing boss comes at an interesting moment.
When Daytona opens for SpeedWeeks in 48 days, with that Media Frenzy, there will be a new NASCAR racing boss for Ford teams, with Friday's announcement that Jamie Allison is taking the reins from Brian Wolfe.
Wolfe, Ford racing director since July 2008, is leaving the racing end of the auto industry for a new job in Ford's global product development.
Allison, who has been in Ford's racing operations for six years now, takes over just as chaos reigns in rival GM and Chrysler camps at the very top levels, where shakeups have come often lately. And Ford has been moving to take advantage of that turmoil to gain market share. How that might work in 2010 in NASCAR is not clear yet.
Allison has a background in both engineering and marketing; in 2003 he took over Ford's racing performance parts operations.
"I'm excited about the challenge," Allison says. "Brian Wolfe really made a great difference in the program in his time as director, opening up so many opportunities to reach out, not just to the professional racers but to the grassroots and sportsman racers as well. He installed a philosophy that we were going to be 'racer-friendly' in all that we do, and we as a team will carry that forward."
Ford needs both engineering and marketing if they are going to leverage their expenditure in NASCAR. After an abysmal year with few wins and major drivers shut out, Ford needs to come up with something - the last engine upgrade helped a little but the results aren't there.
I think it is great that the only domestic car maker NOT to take our tax money is at least actively involved and making changes to help the sport, if not their sales. I think the Nationwide car is a great idea and hope is translated into more sales for these guys.
It's the COT, man. Just that simple.
Unfortunately last season it was as Roush goes so goes the Ford fold. With the addition of Petty Motorsports perhaps their new perspective might ignite a little intramural competition should the Petty team have some early season success. I hope your Raceline predictions come to pass Mr. Mulhern.

Empire State Greenhouses is Coming to Cobleskill
Through a START-UP NY relationship with SUNY Cobleskill, Empire State Greenhouses plans to build and operate net-zero-energy controlled environment vegetable and mushroom grow facilities, as well as a biogas digester. This exciting green-energy initiative projects to create approximately 80 new jobs, as well as internship and research opportunities for SUNY Cobleskill students and members of the campus community.
The Institute for Rural Vitality at SUNY Cobleskill is working in close collaboration with ESG to move the project forward. Once completed, the 300,000 square-foot facility, which will host three separate greenhouses, will support the growth of out-of-season produce on a rotational basis. Many SUNY Cobleskill programs incorporate crop production, soil science, and environmental sustainability into their curricula, making the ESG project an invaluable, all-season applied learning resource.
SUNY Cobleskill welcomed ESG representatives to campus for a question and answer session on Friday, February 1. Additional opportunities to comment on the project and to inquire about its community impact will take place at later dates.

Preventive Measures in Wearing a Necktie
Men usually wore necktie as part of their suits. Men generally looked formal with neckties on. Neckties can also be worn with passion and pride. Neckties does not only boost a man's clothing but also it would help him make a good impression to the people. For this, a man must be selective with the necktie to choice that would fit best with his color and suit. Incorrect necktie coordination is unpleasant to the eyes. In the corporate world women can also flaunt with neckties, not only men. To be able to look smart, you should follow the proper way to wear a tie.
Picking the right tie, you should know about which material the necktie is made from. Before paying to check first the fabric. Silk ties are perfect because it's best and easily worn and lightweight. Wool is next to silk although it's less formal but it can still be worn with pride. Silk and wool are more preferably perfect than cotton ties because this cotton ties are prone to wrinkling which would cause more mess. Choosing the perfect necktie color is also according to your liking. But their are few things that you should consider before choosing the color of your tie. Read more about contrasting and complementing. Your tie should complement the shirt you are wearing. For example, if you are wearing a dark shirt, then wear a lighter tie, if you are wearing a lighter shirt then wear a darker tie. You can still pick your favorite color but always remember that they should be in different shade for them to compliment each other. But you should consider also printed neckties, plaid shirt or checked, always put in mind to only chose one color that is dominant among others to match the tie. It is a bit confusing when dealing with patterned neckties. One thing to remember is to choice solid ties when wearing patterned shirts, or solid shirts with patterned ties.
Medical doctors according to research are prone to spread germs with their patients, because germs can easily stick on their ties, and this info about it can be very alarming. Primarily, doctors are not wearing neckties at work because of the studies conducted.
High blood pressure can sometimes be the cause of wearing neckties too tightly. Glaucoma can be get by tying neckties too tightly because this create an increase in pressure in the blood. Avoid also to wear neckties when operating rotating machines because this might be caught in the machine and can kill you.
