How, according to Meneley, are imaginaries of virginity & Mediterranean culture used to represent extra-virgin olive oil in international markets? How do cultural imaginaries play into global commodities such as olive oil?
6 thoughts on "11.1 Like an Extra Virgin"
Positive imaginaries are created by its dietary and culinary-aesthetic values, having large influence from its "naturalness" compared to "the world in which we live," that is, a highly processed "unnatural" one. Olive oil has been recognized as "liquid gold" and its benefits are far from just a cooking oil. Scientific research has proven that olive oil is helpful in the prevention of heart disease, cancer, and Type 2 diabetes. In the US, those are the leading cause of death so it would make sense how the "Mediterranean Diet" is so ubiquitously practiced. Besides from its health benefits, olive oils commodities are vase, making it very appealing across the globe. Olive oil sparked its international popularity by the industrial revolution when this high quality oil was recognized has the best lubricant for industrial machinery, in particular, clockworks. Cultural imaginary plays an important role in this global use, for example, now, olive oil has become increasingly popular in skincare and beauty products as "you only need to look at Mediterranean women's skin for the proof." Imaginary of use of olive oil and clear skin created has influenced the makeup world globally.
My question is, without all the hype of olive oil, dating back before 1970s, do you think that this Mediterranean culture, diet, lifestyle would be as influential in the United States? In simpler terms, would we care about the Mediterranean as much without olive oil?
The global popularity of olive oil depends on two main ideas: first, the idea that it is healthy, and second, its association with aesthetic and culinary appeals.Marketing for olive oil stresses how "natural" and "ancient" it is. It is considered a friendly fat, the secret to a healthy, stress-free, Mediterrean lifestyle. These claims also make it popular in skincare, since it apparently smooths and evens complexions. While studies do back up some of these, the medical angle does rely on imaginaries of a healthier alternative to industrial (North Atlantic) society.
This opposition to industrial society continues in selling olive oil with a culinary-aesthetic angle. High-end olive oil is marketed as having been crafted, "techne"-style, and produced in one small area, compared to mass-produced and homogenized oil. Even using the term "extra virgin" invokes a kind of purity in the oil that just can't be achieved in a factory. A Tuscany-made oil conjures up images of cypress trees and vineyards, bountiful home-cooked meals, the "real food of real people". These are the imaginaries that sell oil to Slow Food fans.
Though this comes from the other reading (Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Slow Food), I was struck by the fact that Harrods sold South African olive oil, albeit as a third-tier good. Olive oil is so linked to the Mediterranean in my mind that I never gave much thought to olives growing outside the region. Considering that they are now grown globally, are olives still definitively "Mediterranean"?
Ever since Athena blessed Greece with the olive tree, Greece has made the most with this gift and turned it into something that will be used for years. The olive tree is the cornerstone of the domestic households and a sign of civilization representing the masculine and feminine techne. In the 1970's, in North America, heart disease started to become an epidemic in middle class males. Americans started to look into the Mediterranean diet and as stated olive oil began to, "Pour from the Presses." Boosting olive oil consumption from 65 million to 250 million in just 12 years. With the important quality of ancientness of olive oil is the chemical composition of various oils are just now opening our eyes to to the health-giving and healing properties. Giving olives the common nickname, "Green gold." The naturalness of olive oil makes it more of a ur-natural fat, sharing a lot of the fatty acids as breast milk, which we use to feed our young. With the increase of technology and ability to acquire more pure olive oil, people were able to create olive oil with a lower acidity level. In the process, giving another use to olive oil, it provided the perfect lubricant for clock works, internal light on wicks, and for industrial machinery. Imaginaries being the author used an example of back in the country of Catholicism, everyone knew that there were multiple grades of virginity in girls as there were in olive oil. Also, the naturalness of the olive tree was like that of the Mediterranean, used for plenty of modern day problem such as in culinary and aesthetics. How many different blends of olive oil have the Mediterranean diet been able to create up to today?
Meneley uses the unlikely comparison of women's virginity to show how "virginity" is a perceived, often misleading value assigned to both people and olive oil. Over the years, the food and health industries have benefited heavily from the "Mediterranean diet" and its cornerstone, olive oil, by extolling the virtues of traditional Mediterranean cuisine and, to a lesser extent, stereotypical notions of the traditional "Mediterranean lifestyle." The "Mediterranean diet" relies heavily upon imaginaries of a less stressful, more "natural" world, one that directly opposes the imaginaries of the processed, heavily industrialized cultures and lifestyle of Northern Europe and America. These imaginaries have influenced people around the world to strive to follow a "Mediterranean" way of eating and living, although they are based more in feeling rather than legitimate knowledge of Mediterranean cultures.
Olive oil is popularly understood to be an all-natural fat, as opposed to an industrial one like Crisco or margarine. Despite the considerable amount of mechanization involved in olive oil production, olive oil has been heralded as a "natural" substance; one that is not manmade, "as if it simply flowed from nature itself, like breast milk" (Meneley). The industry markets extra-virgin olive oil as healthier than regular pure olive oil, and certainly much better than its alternative, butter, which the articles indicates can be identified with Northern Europe and America (in this case, the Mediterranean's counterparts). Here, we see that the cultural imaginary of virginity–and its connotations of purity, cleanliness, and high quality–can apply not only to humans and their bodies, but also to global commodities in international markets, such as olive oil, by inflating the importance of a product remaining unadulterated until consumption.
My questions on the reading are: Is the "Mediterranean diet" a sham, based in fact, or a combination of the two? Is the importance of extravirgin olive oil misleading? If so, where did the belief that it is important originate?
The use of imaginaries of virginity and Mediterranean culture to represent olive oil, highlight a social construct that is desired by global commodities as a benefit to their health and well-being. Olive-oils, though bitter in it's natural state, has been proven to produce numerous health benefits in its oil form. From preventing heart disease and cancers, to producing pain killer effects that work similarly to Ibuprofen, the world has been alerted to the goods of olive oil. With these positives, the world has been able to market the oil as a staple of healthy Mediterranean living. Markets preach on both the scientific evidence and the aesthetic evidence of olive oil to convince the world of its benefit.
Scientifically, it is completely "all natural" in that there are no added preservatives or chemicals to effect it. In a world full of produced goods, societies are driven towards a better alternative. Though the process to create the oil is still largely industrial, the item itself is not altered. The passing of the aesthetic information has also worked in the area's favor for marketing. Cookbooks, shows, and magazines each took and continue to take the look and feel of the beauty of the Mediterranean and account it for the use of oil olive. The fact that it was also difficult to obtain for a time increased the interest in the "Mediterranean diet" which lead to more purchases of books and papers that had more to do with the item. Cosmetic pieces also take this approach, utilizing the oils in skin care and makeup and paring them with images of the beautiful skin that accompanies the Mediterranean diet. Quotes from researchers such as Creme d'Olives who stated in the reading, "I've done years of research, but you only need to look at Mediterranean women's skin for proof that having olives in their diet and using them in skin care smooths and refines the complexion" are exclaimed for consumers which then alert them to the benefits of buying olive oil items and food. The longing for beauty and healthful well being increase the ability to market olive oil to international markets.
The Mediterranean is able to be presented as a central hub for healthy eating and well-being thanks in part to the exports of proven healthy items such as olive oil. I do have to wonder, as the world finds more ways to challenge what is healthy and what is not, if other Mediterranean customs will be sought after in this way or if there is not much else that the world finds pleasing. In other words, will the Mediterranean's cosmopolitan sharing of healthy resources find more to effect the world with, or is the world not looking for anything else?
Meneley uses the ancient Greek myth of Athena and the olive tree gift to the city of Athens as a lead into how the Mediterranean views virginity of women and, especially, olive oil. The purer or more virgin the woman and/or the oil, the better the product, the better the quality, and the better the demand, which also determines the worth of the woman or oil. The virginity of daughters is a sign of pride for the families of the Mediterranean and this view is reflected in the pride the growers and marketers of olive oil as they refine the process and keep traditions that keep in mind the honor and shame code that is ingrained in the Mediterranean world. The representation of the extra-virgin olive oil is a new level to the olive oil world since the induction of the industrial process where the oil is not consistent, but instead kept at a brand level that does not represent an area or maker that take pride in the production of olive oil.
Introducing these levels of virginity in the olive oil making world has greatly impacted and influenced the marketing and sells of olive oil around the world, as brand name company attempt to industrialize the process of making oil from multiple olive growers to make a consistent oil blend that tastes the same throughout the year, from year to year. Whereas, farmers and marketers that take pride in their work will go to extremes in order to produce a product that is a higher quality in order to ensure that it is exported and in higher demand. The fact that some makers will not package an inferior oil, due to its level of virginity, parallels the honor and shame mindset of being ashamed of the daughter that is not "pure."

Dominion House Tavern 140th Anniversary Celebration To Showcase Rich History
The Dominion House Tavern (The DH), set to celebrate their 140th birthday on May 18 to 20, will showcase memorabilia from the pub's past, including old photographs and a vintage menu.
(Pictured above: Dominion House Tavern bartender, Kim Bigelow, holds a vintage menu, part of the pub's memorabilia display of it's history that will be showcased during their 140th Anniversary weekend. Photo by Eric Bonnici / Eyes On Windsor.)
Co-owner Jordan Tough (known to patrons as Jordo) spoke to Eyes On Windsor about the upcoming anniversary celebration. Jordan told us his team has been busy gathering items which will highlight Dominion House Tavern's rich history. We have a room upstairs with items that will be on display and behind the bar is an old menu we found. He pulled out the menu and pointed to the "Steak & Chops" section, "in the old days you could get a sirloin steak for $1.50," said Jordan. Also on the menu was a T-Bone steak for $2.50, and a club house sandwich for 95 cents! When asked how old the menu was, Tough said they can't figure it out but at those prices it has to be pretty old.
During the DH's anniversary weekend patrons will enjoy a special deal from the current menu. The pub's famous BAM BAM Burgers will be on for just $2.25 all weekend long. In addition to the burger, customers rave about the unique and tasty pulled pork egg rolls. The diverse menu offers a wide selection of amazing food and beverages to enjoy.
Jordan along with Rob Rosati, who was tending bar during our interview, have joined the ownership team as of 2018. Rob has been an employee and manager of The DH for almost 14 years. Rob is and always will be a household name at the Dominion House. Jordan Tough has been with the DH for over 3 years as a bartender and is the house handyman as well. It goes without saying that owning a 140 year old building requires a handyman on site at all times. The addition of Jordan to the team satisfies that need. Rob and Jordan will continue to welcome patrons from behind the bar on a daily basis.
For the last 7 Years ownership has changed a few times with Chris Mickle and his partners. In 2017 Billie Jo Zacher joined the ownership team after an unexpected closing of her restaurant, Billie's Place. Her restaurant was located just a short block away from the Dominion House, on Sandwich Street. The business closed because the building was deemed unsafe by the City of Windsor. It was quickly torn down. Billie Jo was actually an employee of the DH from 1993-2003. " Billie Jo joining the team was more of a homecoming and the welcome home party still Continues to this day," states a press release the DH sent out to announce their 140 year anniversary.
In addition to great food and beverages, 5 Against One, A Tribute To Pearl Jam based out of Southern Ontario, will rock the historic pub on Saturday night as part of the festivities. On Sunday afternoon enjoy live Blues entertainment featuring the energetic South River Slim, and a performance by Windsor's Soul Delegation.
Located in Windsor's historic Olde Sandwich Towne, Dominion House Tavern, established in 1878, is the second oldest pub in Ontario, thirteenth oldest in Canada, and oldest in the border region.
Generations of patrons have visited the DH. In the early days, farmers would often stop during their trips to transport produce to Detroit's Eastern Market. Judges, juries, and lawyers frequented the DH up until the 1970's when the Old Sandwich Towne Courthouse closed down. While the Ambassador Bridge was being built in the early 1900's many construction workers frequented the DH. Famous politicians, sports figures, and celebrities have stopped in over the years.
During the anniversary visitors will have the opportunity to meet past patrons, owners and employees to celebrate the rich history that the DH has been serving up for 140 years.

Talks between U.S. and Taliban officials in Qatar entered a fourth day on Thursday, with the two sides trying to establish a mechanism for a ceasefire in the 17-year Afghan war and open dialogue between the insurgents and the Afghan government.
U.S. special peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad's meeting with Taliban representatives was originally slated to run over two days, and its unexpected extension was a positive sign, according to two senior Taliban leaders in Afghanistan who have been kept informed of the progress made in Qatar.
During the first two days, the talks focused on a roadmap for the withdrawal of the foreign forces and a guarantee that Afghanistan would not be used for hostile acts against the United States and its allies, according to one of Taliban leaders.
"The mechanism for a ceasefire and ways to enter into an intra-Afghan dialogue were the two other big topics that were supposed to be discussed on Thursday," he told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
A third source based in the Gulf, who has close ties to the Taliban representatives, said the decision to extend the meeting in the Qatari capital Doha came after "positive progress" during the first two days.
Officials at the U.S. embassy in Kabul were not immediately available to comment on the diplomatic developments.
Members of Afghanistan's High Peace Council (AHPC), a body which oversees peace efforts but does not represent the government said they were hoping that positive news would emerge from Doha.
"When talks take a long time it means the discussion is in a sensitive and important stage, and the participants are getting close to a positive result," said Sayed Ehsan Taheri, the spokesman for AHPC in Kabul.
"I hope this meeting opens a way for an intra-Afghan dialogue, he said.
The Taliban who are fighting to oust foreign troops have repeatedly rejected the offer to hold direct talks with President Ashraf Ghani's government, which they consider an illegitimate foreign-imposed regime.
The U.S. and regional powers insist that the peace process should be "Afghan-led and Afghan-owned".
Diplomatic efforts to end the United State's longest running conflict intensified last year after the appointment of the Afghan-born Khalilzad to lead direct talks with the Taliban.
Khalilzad has held at least four meetings with the Taliban representatives. But there has been no let up in the violence, even as the two sides hold talks over meals in a hotel suite in Doha.
And abiding fears about how Afghan government forces would withstand the Taliban threat without U.S. military support have been heightened by reports that U.S. President Donald Trump wants to bring home almost half of the 14,000 U.S. troops deployed in Afghanistan.

The backsplash might appear an afterthought in an otherwise well designed and appliance focused kitchen. However, that narrow strip of wall that runs between the counter and cabinets can change the entire look of a kitchen.
You can express your creativity and style through your backsplash, so instead of overlooking it, consider updating it to add life to a dull kitchen. The process itself isn't too difficult, so if you're ready to take on the job, we at RenoQuotes.com have got you covered with a step-by-step guide to installing a new kitchen backsplash!
Collect and gather all your materials including tiles, tile adhesive and grout. Alongside your materials, you'll need the correct tools including a notched trowel, tape measure, sponge, level, utility knife, pencil and tile-cutter. Also, consider something to cover your countertops with an old sheet or large piece of material you aren't too fond of, as you'll want to keep your countertops clean while you're installing the backsplash.
Clean your walls and the surrounding area, as they must be free of dust and grease. Wipe the walls down with a damp rag, and allow enough time for them to dry. Without clean walls, the adhesive will not stick correctly. If there are any defects in the wall, it is important that you repair them before moving forward.
New tiles can be applied directly onto wallpaper, but do not make the same mistake with old tiles. Remove any old tile from the walls before starting the project. Also, sand out any bumps in the wall gently without sanding away the paint. This step is often overlooked, but greatly increases the bond of the adhesive to the wall.

Measure out the space. Make sure that you complete this job carefully and accurately, as you'll want the backsplash to fit snuggly in place. Choose a point to stop, either below your cabinets or somewhere on the wall. Also, make sure you have enough material to cover the space where you're hoping the backsplash will be. Make sure to use a level or straight edge to mark a stopping point on the wall. Remove any switch plates or outlet covers from the area. If you're curious or nervous, test out your tile pattern by laying it out on the floor to make sure everything is in working order!

Using the trowel, smooth adhesive across the clear wall. There are many different types of adhesives, so rely on the material of your wall as well as the material of your backsplash to determine the type of adhesive you use. For tiles, you can use tile mastic, which is a specially formulated, ready-to-use adhesive that does not need to be mixed. It is best to do this in small sections, as applying too much at once will lead to the adhesive drying before the tiles are put on the walls.
A rule of thumb is to cover only an area large enough for eight tiles. Start at the bottom center of the wall and work outwards from there. A common mistake is applying the adhesive directly to the backs of tiles. However, this will make it far more difficult to attach them to the wall.
If you are applying a tile backsplash, press tiles into the adhesive on the wall, making sure that the base of the tile is parallel with the edge of the counter. Use your level to make sure they are even, pushing on each tile a few times to make sure they are secured to the wall. Your entire area can be covered using this method, attaching all remaining tiles until you reach the edges of the wall. Correctly cut the corner materials or tiles to work with oddly shaped corners or edges. If you find you have empty spaces, fill these with pieces of spare tile or material.
Wait until the following day to complete this step. With a clean trowel, spread grout evenly across the tiles. If your walls are concrete, the grouting process can be problematic, as grout seeps into the porous surface of concrete, so consider this before applying.
Don't worry about the grout going over the tiles, as you will remove the excess grout later. The correct method for spreading grout is to apply it in a sweeping pattern at a 45-degree angle. Pack it tightly between tiles. Let the grout set, which should take 30 to 45 minutes. Double check that all the cracks between tiles have been filled, while the remaining area should have unnecessary grout cleaned.
This can be done with a dry cloth, wiping diagonally so as not to pull any grout from the joints. An optional step is to apply a grout sealant to help protect your tiles or other backsplash material. Also, seal backsplash with silicone caulk. Make sure this is the same colour as the grout. It will help to keep out water and prevent the growth of mould and mildew.
Follow the initial steps we instructed above, including collecting all the correct materials and tools that will be needed for the installation of your backsplash. If you are working with individual stick on tiles, you may require spacers to make sure they are spread out evenly. Also, make sure to clean your walls and measure out the space!
Now your tiles are prepped and ready to be applied! Peeling off the backing, stick pieces onto your desired location. As with regular tiles, it is recommended that you start from the bottom center of the wall and work outwards. Check to see that each tile or the entire sheet firmly adheres to the wall. Hold a straight edge over the tiles as you press, making sure they don't shift!

This is not a program to be learned and then left on the shelf like so many notebooks from a collage class. This is an experience that changes the individual, that has changed me, in such a deep and continually evolving way and has permeated every aspect of my life."Dr. Nancy Kehr, D.C.

The surname lambtoom was first found in Durham where there is a township named Lambton. "Lambton Hall formerly stood here, and was the residence of the Lambton family until the death of William Lambton, Esq., at the close of the eighteenth century." [1] The first on record was John Lambton, Lord of Lambton, who lived about 1150. His successor was Sir Robert Lambton, Lord of Lambton in 1314. [2]
His direct descendent was Sir William Lambton, a Royalist, who was a cavalry officer in the service of Charles I and was slain at Marston Moor. Now known as Lambton, Tyne and Wear, it is home to the legend of the Lambton Worm, John Lambton, heir to the Lambton estate and his quest to vanquish the giant worm (dragon.) From this legend, a Lambton curse for three generations, a song written in 1867, and an opera named "The Lambton Worm" by Robert Johnson survive.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our lambtoom research. Another 54 words (4 lines of text) covering the years 1505, 1582, 1583, 1593, 1644, 1644, 1651, 1717, 1662, 1693, 1640, 1724, 1685, 1698, 1701 and 1702 are included under the topic Early lambtoom History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Only recently has spelling become standardized in the English language. As the English language evolved in the Middle Ages, the spelling of names changed also. The name lambtoom has undergone many spelling variations, including Lambton, Lampton, Lamton, Lambtone and others.
Notables of the family at this time include John Lambton (1505-1582); Robert Lambton (died 1583); Ralph Lambton (died 1593); Colonel Sir William Lambton (died 1644), who fought in the Battle of Marston Moor on 2 July 1644; and his...

To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name lambtoom were among those contributors: James Lambstone, who arrived in Virginia in 1652.

KIA'S long-awaited Cerato GT is winging its way to Oz in time for a January 2019 launch, where the warm hatch and its sedan twin will go up against the Mazda 3 SP25 and Hyundai i30 SR.
Full details are still to be confirmed, but it's understood the Korean-built Cerato GT will share a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with the Ceed GT shown in Paris today, producing 150kW at 6000rpm and 265Nm from 1500 to 4500rpm.
Read next: Kia Cerato GT to benefit from i30 N program
Those are identical outputs to the three-door, manual-only ProCeed GT sourced from Europe and sold in Oz for a short period ending in late 2015. However there are crucial differences elsewhere to make the Cerato GT more appealing to a broader range of buyers this time around, not least of which is a five-door configuration, as shown by the Korean-market Kia K3 in these pictures.
The K3 is our first proper indication as to what the Cerato hatch arriving in November will look like. In GT form its distinctive design features are subtle, and the whole package less overtly sporty than its Ceed GT cousin from Europe. Over there, the Ceed GT is available with a choice of gearboxes, but the Korean market K3 GT is auto-only.
"That's not certain [for Oz]," said Kia Australia communications manager Kevin Hepworth. "We've signed off on the engine, but we still haven't signed off on the gears yet. I suspect there'll be a six [speed] manual, and a DCT; most likely two gearboxes."
Read next: 2018 Kia Cerato Sedan Range Review
Independent rear suspension has been confirmed, and it is understood former BMW M boss and current chief at Hyundai N, Albert Biermann, played a part in the development of the Cerato GT. The car will be further refined for Aussie roads by local engineers.
"[Cerato GT] will get the full Australian ride and handling treatment," said Hepworth, confirming a continuation of the brand's local suspension program for Cerato GT. "Biermann's got input on every car. And then we input again."
Kia's GT models will be the most performance-focused variants across its line-up, with no dedicated sub-brand like Hyundai N on the cards for Kia.
Hepworth doesn't believe it's cost effective for Kia to go down that path, though the development of the i30 N has added flexibility to the local tuning of the Cerato GT.
Expect more info in November when the regular Kia Cerato hatch arrives, followed by a proper launch for the Cerato GT in Janurary 2019.

RAF Museum Cosford takes delivery of a VC10 Transport plane after long final journey by flat bed trailer to Shropshire
Following a tricky but successful journey via the M6 motorway and the lanes of rural Shropshire, the RAF Museum at Cosford has finally taken delivery of one of the great workhorses of British post-war military aviation: the VC10.

Serial number XR808 has been undergoing a meticulous eight-month dismantling process carried out by GJD Services, a specialist maintenance and aircraft salvage company based at Bruntingthorpe, Leicestershire.
The 93-foot long fuselage departed from Bruntingthorpe early on Sunday morning and arrived at Cosford shortly after 1pm.
Transported on a low loader lorry, the route saw the aircraft pass along the M69, M6 and the M54 to Cosford, via the nearby village of Shifnal.
Too large to pass under the railway bridge at Cosford, the fuselage made its way to Junction 4 on the M54 and through Shifnal, with some tricky manoeuvring en route, before heading onto the airfield at RAF Cosford.
With the wings due to follow on June 28, work will commence in July on the rebuild of a plane which saw service with the RAF for a remarkable period stretching to almost 50 years as a transport aircraft, medical evacuation plane and in-air refueller.
Originally built by Vickers-Armstrong and then later by the British Aircraft Corporation, the VC10 originally entered service in 1966. It soon became a useful plane in the rapid deployment of troops and weaponry to many theatres of operations around the world.
With the ability to carry up to 124 troops at a time, with nine crew members or a freight load of up to 20,400kg, the VC10's allowed true global mobility and offered a combination of speed and range never previously attained by an RAF Transport Command aircraft type.
"The BAC VC-10 formed the mainstay of the RAF's long range strategic transport force for almost 50 years," explained Ian Thirsk, Head of Collections at the RAF Museum. "For one aircraft type to have been in service for such a long period is remarkable in itself.
© Iain Duncan
"However, when this is added to the variety of roles and worldwide scope of operations, it is clear this is a unique aircraft and it would not be possible to accurately portray the history of the RAF without an example of the type – therefore it is essential that such a pivotal and long serving aircraft is preserved by the RAF Museum."
After almost 30 years flying out of RAF Brize Norton to Akratiri in Cyprus, as well as Hong Kong and the Middle East, VC10 C1K XR808, latterly known as Bob, was converted in 1996 to a mix passenger tanker role.
In October 2010 it was still being used to bring troops home from Afghanistan before eventually ending its career with a 40-minute flight from Brize Norton to Bruntingthorpe airfield in Leicestershire. It had served for a total of 47 years and three weeks, notching a total flying time of 43,866 hours.
Throughout July 2015 a team of engineers from GJD Services will be at Cosford to unload the aircraft, position and trestle the inner wings before attaching them to the fuselage. During early August the aircraft will transfer from the RAF Cosford airfield to the Museum site for the final reassembly, which will take place directly outside the Museum's Hangar 1.
Once on site, the wings will be rebuilt and the rear fuselage section attached. By late September the team anticipates to be fitting the fin and tail plane ready to install the engines, nacelles and outer wings.
The final finishing touches of refitting the access panels and a little paint work touch up will be carried out late October before the fully reassembled VC10 is moved into its final position next to the Lockheed Hercules C130K Mk3, where the aircraft will go on public display.

text: The preliminary technical phase of anti-snake and anti-scorpion venom serum production has been conducted and it is now in the quality assurance stage before final approval by the Food and Drug Administration, said Dr Mostafa Qanei, head of Iran's Pasteur Institute (IPI). The institute successfully produced a vaccine for rotavirus in the last fiscal year that ended on March 19. "Rotavirus (a contagious virus that can cause gastroenteritis or inflammation of the stomach and intestines) vaccination will be integrated into the National Immunization Program in the near future," IRNA quoted him as saying. The vaccine can prevent 95% of diarrhea mortalities among infants.

The Honor 6A is now official, Honor has introduced its all-new budget smartphone in China. This is a metal-clad handset, which comes with some compelling specs despite the fact it's a budget phone, and it's also quite affordable. The Honor 6A features a fingerprint scanner on the back (unlocks the phone in only 0.2 seconds), and its main camera does protrude a bit. All the physical keys can be found on the right-hand side of this phone, while a SIM card tray is placed on the left.
The Honor 6A actually comes in a number of color variants, Chinese consumers will be able to purchase it starting from June 1 in Gold, Silver, Pink and Blue color variants. The phone costs 799 Yuan ($116) in the country for the 2GB RAM model with 16GB of internal storage, while the 3GB RAM variant with 32GB of native storage will be available for 999 Yuan ($145). Having said that, let's take a look at the phone's specs. This device sports a 5-inch 720p (1280 x 720) display, along with 2GB / 3GB of RAM and 16GB / 32GB of expandable storage (expandable up to 128GB via a microSD card). A 13-megapixel shooter (PDAF, 28mm 5P lens) is placed on the back of the phone, while you'll be able to find a 5-megapixel snapper on the phone's front side. A 3,020mAh battery is also a part of this package, and it is not removable. Android 7.0 Nougat comes pre-installed on the Honor 6A, along with the company's Emotion UI (EMUI) 5.1 skin. The device offers support for 4G VolTE, while it measures 143.7 x 70.95 x 8.2mm, and weighs 143 grams.
This handset did get announced in China, but chances are it will become available in a number of other regions as well, it's only a matter of time, at least if its predecessor is any indication, considering that the Honor 5A is currently available in a number of regions around the world. Speaking of Honor, the company introduced the Honor 8 Pro a while back, and the Honor 9 is actually expected to launch in the near future, quite probably next month, so stay tuned for that, new leaked images will likely surface soon.

At its first meeting, held on 28 February 2007, the Market Advisory Committee (MAC) agreed to establish a permanent Working Group to assist the Independent Market Operator (IMO) in considering, assessing and developing changes to the IMO Market Procedures which the Market Rules require the IMO to develop. The Working Group was to be summoned by the IMO when new procedures were developed or existing procedures needed to be modified. On 8 November 2017 the MAC disbanded the Working Group as it had been replaced by the AEMO Procedure Change Working Group.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer was a good sport about comedian Melissa McCarthy's parody of him on NBC's "Saturday Night Live."
He told "Fox & Friends" on Monday morning that he got a lot of texts on Sunday morning about the skit.
"I had to click on the link and see what it was all about," Spicer said. "It was cute. It was funny."
Spicer also said such parodies are "part of American culture."
He also spoke to "Extra" while he was in Houston for the Super Bowl on Sunday and said he thought McCarthy could "dial it back a bit." Spicer also said the comedian "needs to slow down on the gum chewing — way too many pieces in there."
Spicer was less generous about actor Alec Baldwin's portrayal of President Donald Trump.
"Alec has gone from funny to mean, and that's unfortunate," Spicer told "Extra." "'SNL' used to be really funny. There's a streak of meanness now that they have crossed over to mean."
Trump has also slammed "SNL" for its parodies of him.

To many people, IPL just means permanent hair reduction but that is not entirely true. IPL is an acronym for intense pulsed light which is the type of light-based technology being used by the machine in question.
The two main types of technology used for photo facials are very different.
An LED photo facial uses a narrow spectrum of light to boost collagen, creating plumper and younger looking skin. It kills bacteria and is hence a fantastic treatment for mild to moderate acne problems. LED photo facials are cool, painless and relaxing. It can be used as part of a facial or a stand-alone treatment. As with any other light-based treatments, a series of treatments are recommended for optimum results and the recommended period of time between treatments can be anything from two to six weeks, depending on skin type, skin problems and result objectives.
IPL photo-rejuvenation treatments can treat a large variety of skin conditions from brown / age spots to broken capillaries, spider veins and rosacea. Clients have also noticed added benefits like a lightening of wrinkles, pore tightening and increase collagen production to keep the skin looking younger. After a treatment session, increased blood circulation to the area helps flush toxins away to give the skin a rejuvenated look. Again, a series of treatments are recommended for optimum results with resting period between treatments of between two to six weeks.
The IPL machine delivers an intense wide spectrum light which creates heat. This may become slightly hot during the course of treatment but most machines today have a special cooling tip to minimise discomfort.
Photo facial treatments not only treat the face but can be applied to the hands, neck, décolletage and other parts of the body. Depending on what results you may be looking for, ask your salon what type of photo facial technology they are offering.
Essential Beauty salons have delivered thousands of IPL photo-rejuvenation treatments to their many clients of the years.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will survey producers throughout the U.S. as part of its County Agricultural Production Survey (CAPS). The survey will collect information on total acres planted and harvested, and total yield and production of small grains down to the county level.
"The data provided by producers will help Federal and State programs support the farmer," said Kevin Pautler, deputy director of the NASS Northeastern Regional Field Office. "We hope every producer will take the time to respond if they receive this survey. Producers benefit when there are data available to help determine accurate loan rates, disaster payments, crop insurance price elections, and more. When enough producers respond to surveys, NASS is able to publish data. Without data, agencies such as USDA's Risk Management Agency or Farm Service Agency may not have information on which to base the programs that serve those same producers."
Within the next few weeks NASS representatives will contact selected growers to arrange telephone interviews to complete the survey.
NASS safeguards the privacy of all respondents and publishes only aggregate data, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified.
Survey results will be published on the NASS Quick Stats database at https://quickstats.nass.usda.gov. For more information, please call the NASS Northeastern Regional Field Office at (800) 498-1518.

David Duke
April 24, 2018
Today Dr. Duke picked up on the Zio media's daily invocation of Richard Nixon as an example for the fate that awaits Donald Trump: impeachment and disgrace. Dr. Duke read numerous quotes from Richard Nixon that show how well aware he was of Jewish power and the Jewish role in the communist ideology that Nixon opposed. And yet, in public Nixon bit his tongue and even bailed out Israel in the 1973 Yom Kippur War at the risk of World War III.
Dr. Slattery joined the show and provided additional historical context.
This show is a powerful show. Please share it widely.

The identity and preference of drivers are becoming increasingly intertwined with their vehicles. We ask Roger
Lanctot, associate director at the global automotive practice of Strategy Analytics, what the future holds for connected services and security and the importance of consumer experience.
For many organisations, working with a long tail of smaller suppliers is time consuming and inefficient. Keeping on top of such a wide array of business relationships is near impossible. In addition, lack of data limits opportunities to negotiate better deals with preferred suppliers.
Data centre business Equinix has pulled together a digital vision for its procurement, beginning by shifting focus from transactional purchase management towards the lifecycle value of end-to-end source-to-pay (S2P). The fresh approach went live in May for its Europe, Middle East and Africa operations, ahead of a mirrored change this year in its America and Asia-Pacific locations.
Consumers constantly demand more from packaging. They want products to be environmentally friendly, and most are more likely to buy goods in packaging that represents them and their lifestyle. Glass gives brands endlessly recyclable and customisable packaging that empowers them to stand out even in the most fiercely competitive markets. It also allows them to preserve the subtle taste and texture of their products.
While glass, as with all packaging, had for some been viewed as a cost, the material is now increasingly viewed as a powerful brand asset. Euromonitor data shows a steady increase in glass usage since 2016. High glass-share segments, such as premium alcoholic beverages, are continually growing, and there is now increasing use of glass for packaging food and non-alcoholic drinks.
Shifting attitudes about what is possible, coupled with the deployments of new technology, mean risk engineering is ever-changing. As buyers are increasingly aware of on-demand and flexible cover in personal insurance, demand is also emerging for risk engineering to be clearly aligned with their business purpose.
Large insurers in siloed and highly specialist fields are switching to have much more regular and deeper engagement with clients, and alignment to their strategies, backed by transparency and smart technology.
Any individual's experience of looking after their own wellbeing could typically involve factors such as good eating, exercise and treatments from medical specialists when needed. But a wealth of new technologies are now being made available to empower people in addressing their own health issues more consistently and help companies support employees in this area.
"Technology is putting control of a medical condition or a wellness desire in the hands of the consumer, and enabling them to be much more proactive in terms of health management and getting a better quality of life," explains Richard Cooper, head of digital and ecommerce at private healthcare firm AXA PPP healthcare.
The market for renewable energy is undergoing significant change as government subsidies and support schemes are scaled back, in the context of budgetary pressure and a surge in new installations. As a result, new ways of trading green energy are taking over.
Investors in renewable energy markets have, in recent years, become much more exposed to open market forces; the lack of government support means investors no longer have guarantees and fixed prices they took for granted.
Banks are facing a stern challenge to their security credentials as account takeover fraud becomes commonplace. The time has come to move beyond security systems based on usernames and passwords towards more high-tech solutions such as face-based authentication and biometrics.
Account takeover fraud takes myriad forms, but the results are typically financial losses for the individuals and a loss of confidence in their bank.
Gym chain Virgin Active has over 160,000 members across Italy but its vast geographic dispersion poses challenges to staff who need to work together. By way of response, the company has built a cloud-based collaborative infrastructure, reorienting its entire employee culture.
E-commerce companies must take an increasingly holistic and proactive approach to fraud prevention if they are to keep pace with the growing demands of consumers and of payment processors such as Visa and Mastercard.
Customer expectation levels are consistently high, as shoppers everywhere demand unimpeded financial transactions at all times. For merchants, this represents a significant challenge because they are faced simultaneously with the need to block a widening variety of attempted fraud attacks.
Fashion brand GANT, operating in a highly competitive lifestyle retail environment, has dramatically improved its employees' productivity using cloud-based tools.
The company faced the challenge of having 800 employees who needed to log into several different systems, and who could not easily be productive in the locations they needed to be. Its main email system had become a key productivity tool, which was expensive to maintain and difficult to work with.
