Rampur: Dipping water level in the river Sutlej has resulted in the reduction of power generation at the hydro power project of Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN) in Himachal Pradesh.
According to reports, the discharge in the Sutlej plunged from 1,400 cumecs during the peak monsoon season to 205 cumecs. The Director (Electrical) of SJVN, RK Bansal said: "Water level has decreased from about 17-25 percent, which has decreased the total energy generation."
"We are increasing the efficiency of our plant, so that our units are available round the clock and if units decrease during the downtime then this is also in the benefit of the country," said Bansal.
Locals are facing water shortage due to depletion of natural water resources caused by enormous construction in the region. Locals alleged that the water channels are shrinking as various companies are using the waters of Satluj`s tributaries for the generation of power.
Decline in power generation is a normal phenomenon during winters as the discharge comes down rather quickly due to low temperature in the higher reaches, which affects the melting of snow. However, environmentalists believe that such projects pose a serious threat to the surroundings as it is polluting the water sources and no pure water is left for the cattle on the rivulets.

This small group experience is devoted to a deeper level of meditation and purification for people who already have some knowledge of meditation and yoga. To support the mind in turning inward, we utilize a light, simple diet, the observance of silence, and a cave-like atmosphere of seclusion. A number of hours each day are devoted to spiritual practices (sadhana) created specifically for this retreat by Baba Hari Dass. The sadhana includes meditation, pranayama (breathing practices), and asana (postures). Devotional rituals, chanting, and spiritual stories also form part of this special experience. This retreat is taught by senior Mount Madonna Center staff.

What a glorious weekend! We had a sneak peek of spring in Ontario this weekend, and it was amazing! Sunshine, so much beautiful sunshine! I played outside with my kids on Friday and Saturday, drawing chalk pictures on the driveway, driving race cars, and going for wagon rides around the neighbourhood. It was awesome. As much as I enjoy cozy sweaters and blankets during our cold winters, I love the warm sunshine on my face even more. But it was just a tease, as it's going to get cold again, and possibly snow…that's March in Ontario for ya!
Here is what we are eating this week:
Monday – roasted chicken with corn on the cob and mashed potatoes
Tuesday – turkey burgers with sweet potato fries (watch for these recipes next in the Frugal Healthy Dinner Series!)
Wednesday – baked lemon/pepper fish with lemon/garlic spaghetti and garden salad
Thursday – gnocchi (might add some sausage to the sauce) with garden salad
Friday – sesame ginger salmon with brown rice pilaf and steamed broccoli
In addition to all these yummy meals, a batch of whole wheat banana muffins is probably in order. So easy to make, and such a nice snack for the kids! That recipe is my new go to! I use vanilla yogurt instead of sour cream, and I use a 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup white flour. They are super light and fluffy, even with whole wheat flour, and have hardly any sugar!
Watch for my turkey burger recipe this week, as well as an update on my organization challenge! I am linking up with Erin and Org Junkie as usual 🙂
Happy Planning!

Giving a great elevator pitch can be an art form, which requires practice and skill. Our infographic is designed to re-iterate and educate on the basic steps to a great presentation. Every situation will require a specific plan to target your audience, regardless if the presentation is to sell a product, present an idea, or close a sale.
Step One of our infographic is to establish your goal. This is the key to a great elevator pitch. In sales first impressions can be everything and the same idea applies when presenting to an audience. Simple concepts like visual aids, action words, and tone of voice can elevate a presentation to a level of professionalism that will impress an audience. One key factor that is often overlooked is acting authentic. The term "keep it real" applies directly to presenters because now more than ever people are specifically looking for authenticity and over the top sales techniques usually work against the presenter. Act like yourself and present passionately about the topic to grab the audience and get them excited about the presentation. A great tool is practicing in front of family and friends because they are the best judge on authenticity.
The infographic shows the steps on controlling movement in order to maximize use of the stage and presentation tools. These simple movements can amplify your presentation and engage the audience.
At the end of the elevator pitch conclude with summarizing the main points in a clear and concise manner. Build the conclusion to a final statement that will lead the audience to act on the main topic of the presentation whether its buying a product, using a specific service, or asking for a vote or support. These basic steps with a combination of situation specific adjustments can lead to a great presentation that will inspire. At Northwest Creative Imaging we provide portable displays that are used for presentations, trade shows, events, and conferences to help aid in a successful pitch!

Smarter Lunchrooms MovementIncludes information about the Smarter Lunchrooms Movement (SLM) in California, local training and Webinar schedules, and best practice resource links.
A smarter lunchroom is one that influences students toward choosing healthier, more nutritious foods. Smarter lunchrooms give students an opportunity to select and consume a balanced diet while providing them with a spectrum of choices. The SLM applies research-based principles that use low or no-cost solutions with a focus on the cafeteria environment and the promotion of healthful eating behaviors.

About Smarter Lunchrooms Movement
What is the Smarter Lunchrooms Movement? – "It's Not Nutrition Until It's Eaten"
The SLM was developed with the goal of creating research-based lunchrooms that guide healthy choices, which are also sustainable and low cost. It is a grassroots movement for those who are concerned about the way kids eat and wish to change unhealthy behaviors.
The smarter lunchrooms core values include:
- Low and no-cost solutions
- Lunchroom environment focus
- Promotion of healthful eating behaviors
- Sustainability
The six smarter lunchrooms principles aim to:
- Manage portion sizes
- Increase convenience
- Improve visibility
- Enhance taste expectations
- Use suggestive selling
- Set smart pricing strategies
How It Began
The SLM started in October 2010 as a result of a partnership between Dr. Brian Wansink and Dr. David Just from the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University. This partnership produced the Cornell University Center for Behavioral Economics in Child Nutrition Programs (BEN Center). The BEN Center has promoted the SLM by applying Food and Brand Lab research to school environments. Under the direction of Dr. Wansink and Dr. Just, the SLM has expanded to schools across the country. For more information visit the Cornell Smarter Lunchrooms Movement Web site.
How it Works
The smarter lunchrooms principles and practices are easy to implement. Schools can design their lunchrooms to nudge students toward nutritious foods with some simple changes. For example, a school has a goal to increase the number of students who choose to eat vegetables with their lunch. Using the smarter lunchrooms approach, the school would encourage students to come up with creative names for the vegetable dishes (such as X-ray Carrots or Farm Fresh Veggie Mix) and display that name along with the vegetable in the cafeteria. In Cornell's studies, this simple activity, combined with displaying the name with the food, increased selection of the vegetable up to 70 percent.
The Evidence
The best practices and lunchroom solutions that the SLM endorses have been studied and proven effective in a variety of schools across the country. The BEN Center applies experimental research from the Cornell Food and Brand Lab to school lunchrooms.
Results from SLM strategies include:
- Moving and highlighting fruit increased sales of fruit by up to 102 percent.
- Naming vegetables and displaying the new names with the foods increased selection of vegetables from between 40–70 percent.
- Introducing a "healthy choices only" convenience line increased the sale of "healthy items" by 35 percent.
- Placing chocolate milk behind white milk increased white milk sales by 46 percent.
The Smarter Lunchrooms Movement of California Collaborative
The SLM of California (SLM of CA) Collaborative helps California child nutrition professionals design their lunch lines to market the school meal program and to encourage students to enjoy eating healthier foods. The SLM of CA Collaborative has partnered with the BEN Center to influence and improve eating behaviors in adults and children by implementing these best practices in our hospitals, schools, and communities. The SLM of CA Collaborative leverages resources statewide from state level agencies including: the California Department of Education, California Food Policy Advocates, Dairy Council of California, University of California CalFresh Nutrition Education Program, Kaiser Permanente, The California Endowment, and the California Department of Public Health.
Since August 2013, the SLM of CA has been establishing a sustainable, statewide system to provide SLM training and Webinars, technical assistance, and Web-based resources to California child nutrition professionals. The SLM of CA delivery model is based on the philosophy that a single training is not enough to help child nutrition staff navigate the challenges they face in making changes to their lunch lines. Through the SLM of CA, child nutrition professionals complete a training series and are then connected to certified Technical Advising Professionals that provide need-based support including site visit assessments and frontline staff training.

Former husband confessed to murder of UK national, says police
Shakeel who was also Shahid's first husband confessed to drugging and killing her, saying the other named suspects in the case were innocent.
However, why he killed his former wife could not be confirmed.
Earlier, a forensic report on Shahid's death had revealed that Shahid neither committed suicide, nor she died a natural death.
In fact, she had died of asphyxia after her breathing was choked, which hinted the investigators she was murdered.
Based on the forensic report, police arrested Shahid's father, Shakeel and a cousin.
Samia Shahid, 28, a beautician from Bradford who had gone to visit her family in Pakistan, died last month in the village of Pandori in northern Punjab, the political power base of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
The second husband of the British national, Mukhtar Kazam, had called for the UK and Pakistani governments to ensure his wife received justice, as he sought to keep the spotlight on so-called "honour" killing.
Kazam has nominated Shakeel in Samia's murder case and is now in police custody.
At an emotional press conference late July, Kazam had shown a copy of the post-mortem report into his wife's death, which said she had marks on her neck.
He had asked the British and Pakistani governments to conduct a fair trial in her wife case.
Kazam and Shahid, both British-Pakistani dual citizens, had been married for two years and were living in Dubai.
Also Read: Nisar orders fair probe into UK national's suspected honour killing
He had also blamed Shahid's parents of being involved in her death since she converted to Shia Islam, his sect, before their wedding, which had irked her parents.
Samia Murder Case
The case appeared in the mainstream media when British MP Naz Shah directly demanded the Pakistani government an independent autopsy after Shahid's husband seemed positive that her family killed her for marrying him who was seen as an 'outsider.'
Soon police in Britain started looking into the new case of Shahid, who died in Pakistan on July 13.
Shah had asked Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to intervene and play his role in the murder probe
In a letter written to Sharif, she had asserted, "Should this be [an honour killing] case then we must ensure justice is done for Samia and we must ensure this never happens again."
Syed Mukhtar Kazam, also a Pakistani national has always been claiming that his wife's family was against their "love marriage" in September 2014 but she moved to live with him in Dubai in May 2015.
Before her marriage with Kazam, Shahid had left her first husband who was also her cousin from her village in Pakistan.
She had been back to Bradford twice in the past year to convince her parents to accept her marriage, the British MP continued in her letter.
Kazam said he was shocked to know that his wife suffered a critical heart attack, as earlier claimed by Shahid's family when she was in Pakistan to see an ailing relative.
She was buried after post-mortem and the samples from her body were sent to a forensics lab in Lahore.

Cockpitfloor flange + plenty glue
Cockpitfloor glued and temporarily held in place with woodblocks and a piece of wood between the beam bulkheads to keep the floor straight.
As I'm almost done taping the interior panels, I have to prepare for the dreaded longboarding. I'm experimenting with a poor-man's longboard: it's just a piece of foam with one layer of tape on top and two wooden blocks as handles. I tried to glue sandpaper with spray glue, but that didn't stick. After that I used ready made wallpaper glue: this works ok but takes a while to set enough. If the longboard works well, I'll make a few so I'll never have to wait for the glue to set.
Once I've done some sanding I'll report if the longboard works. I hope so: it's cheap to make and VERY light.

2017 Oakley Eyepatch Eyewear Brown Red Frame Brown Lens
Oakley Eyepatch Eyewear Brown Red Frame Brown Lens for Cheap:Oakley sunglasses have taken concern for vision safety to the next level. Perhaps no other branded sunglasses offer the same standards. These meet or exceed ANSI safety standards. Common sense dictates that anyone who regular...
A charge of sexism The complainant, Suzan Porter, was concerned that disparaging references to reporters concerned about hair oakley sunglasses canada and makeup was disrespectful and stereotyping women.
The context was a discussion of the White House press corps, concerns about exclusion from certain press briefings and the need for television reporters to get air time. President Donald Trump and the news media on CBC News Network. journalists to react to events that week in Washington. One of them was the fact that certain reporters were excluded from a press briefing, referred to colloquially as a gaggle. Both guests made reference to television reporters and their attention to makeup and hair. You labelled their comments of women and a to the 1950s. You said Mr. Serapio was complicit in this attitude because of his own behaviour: Serapio was clearly amused by this and kept laughing and giggling. He told you he reviewed the segment after receiving your email and did not see or hear it as you did. He said that the two panelists offered analysis and comment about President Trump difficult relationship with the media, including the decision to restrict access to some press briefings. He pointed out that both the guests downplayed the concern of the media at the exclusion. They talked about the fact that every administration restricted access to the gaggles but generally it was more secretive. Reporters who did make it into the briefings were able to use it as an opportunity to promote themselves on camera. One of the panelists, Mr. Brandus, mentioned that it might not be such a bad thing if cameras were banned because TV reporters monopolized the briefing time so they would be able to feature themselves in their subsequent reports. Mr. Silverberg agreed with you that they both made mention of makeup and hair, but it was in that context two print reporters lampooning their television colleagues. He also reminded you that both male and female reporters wear makeup for their on camera appearances: Some of those reporters take their public/on camera role with the kind of self importance lampooned by the Ted Baxter character in the old Mary Tyler Moore Show. I think we have all known television reporters of that sort and if Mr. Serapio had a faint smile it was at that recognition. But only once during this part of the discussion and then for less than cheap oakleys for sale five seconds as he turned from one panellist to the other was the camera on oakley glasses price Mr. Serapio. And I can assure you he was not and giggling as you wrote he was. He added that Mr. Serapio did not question them because it did not occur to him that they were attacking women. Our language reflects equality of the sexes and we prefer inclusive forms where they are not prohibitively cumbersome. We are aware of our influence on how minorities or vulnerable groups are perceived. We do not mention national or ethnic origin, colour, religious affiliation, physical characteristics or disabilities, mental illness, sexual oakley sunglasses red orientation or age except when important to an understanding of the subject or when a person is the object of a search and such personal characteristics will facilitate identification. We avoid generalizations, stereotypes and any degrading or offensive words or images that could feed prejudice or expose people to hatred or contempt. Criminal matters require special care and precision. When a minority group is referred to, the vocabulary is chosen with care and with consideration for changes in the language. I have watched the segment more than once. I appreciate that you would take the phrasing to be directed toward women, but in the context of the discussion there is not one reference to gender. The entire conversation is about reporters, and as Mr. Silverberg stated, the two panelists were male print reporters. Both David Martosko and Paul Brandus made a comment about television reporters. They did so in the context of a discussion about some media organizations protesting being banned from a press briefing which was by invitation only. Michael Serapio put the question to Mr. Martosko explained that the same thing went on in the Obama years, only it was done secretly, and it wasn until the select group filed the story that others realized they had been left out. He felt the media was overreacting, and he gave some reasons why he thought that might be the case. He said, somewhat ironically, they worried about what might happen next: Mr. Serapio then asked the other guest, Paul Brandus, if he shared that assessment. I note that Mr. Serapio had a neutral expression on his face when he asked the question, and I do not share your assessment that there was laughter and giggling. Mr. Brandus agreed and criticized the presence of cameras at these briefings because he felt the needs of the television reporters distorted the process and ate up too much time. He echoed Mr. Martosko characterization of TV reporters: I think on camera briefings when they began in the mid 90s during the Clinton years, they are the folks who gave the okay to bring the cameras in back then, now acknowledge generally it was a mistake. It changed the whole tenor of the briefings; it is true that these folks in the front row who work for the big TV networks, they put their hair and makeup all together to look all pretty and stuff. He goes on to criticize television reporters for repeating their questions many times to ensure they have themselves on camera for their stories. As Mr.
Silverberg pointed out to you, the cultural stereotype of the vain television personality, as likely to be male as female, is a common staple of sitcoms and comedians. I appreciate you think that any reference to appearance implies women, but there is nothing in this language or the overall discussion that suggests that. If these two panelists were stereotyping anyone, it was television reporters as a whole, and since television reporters are not a vulnerable minority, I am comfortable saying this is not a violation of CBC journalistic policy.

Pakistan showing restraint despite Indian aggression: PM
LAHORE: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday stated that Pakistan's restraint over Indian aggression should not be considered a sign of weakness at all, ARY News reported.
Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs, Mr. Sartaj Aziz briefed the Prime Minister on the situation at LoC and the response of the government after the latest unprovoked Indian firing that led to the martyrdom of seven Pakistani soldiers, in the Bhimber area.
While expressing profound grief and extending heartfelt condolences to the families of the Shuhada, the Prime Minister stressed that Pakistan was exercising maximum restraint in the face of Indian violence, which should not be misunderstood as our weakness. 'Pakistan cannot be bullied by such tactics as we are fully capable of defending our soil against any belligerence', underlined the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister said that deliberate escalation of tension at LoC by the Indian Forces is a threat to regional peace and security. "It is also a futile attempt of the Indian authorities to divert the world's attention from the worst kind of atrocities they are committing against defenseless and innocent people of the Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK)", said the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister urged that UN must take notice of the ceasefire violations on LoC and the unwarranted escalation of tension between the two countries. "Our Armed Forces do not initiate fire but will always respond in a befitting manner to any aggression", said the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister was also briefed on Pak-US relations in the backdrop of recently held Presidential elections in the United States. Reaffirming to further strengthen bilateral relations, the Prime Minister said that Pakistan and US enjoy strong and strategic partnership spanning over a period of seven decades. "Pakistan looks forward to closely work with the newly elected government for realization of peace, security and prosperity in the region and beyond", said the Prime Minister.
The Adviser also briefed the Prime Minister on the increased frequency of indiscriminate firing and shelling from the Indian side targeting civilian populated areas. The Advisor said that the recent incidents of firing by the Indian forces have resulted in the martyrdom of 26 civilians and injuries to 107, including women and children, in complete violation of the 2003 Ceasefire Understanding and International law.
The prime minister said Pakistan could never be pushed back with such coward tactics. He maintained that Pakistan was fully capable of defending its motherland.
At least seven Pakistani soldiers were killed on Sunday night during cross-border firing across the Line of Control (LoC) in the disputed Kashmir region.

|Set at the lowest natural crossing
point on the River Severn, Gloucester has always been a
focus for travellers and as a result both the City and
County have a rich transport heritage. As the centuries
passed too, the Severn was also exploited for the
movement of goods, leading Queen Elizabeth I to grant the
Letters Patent that made Gloucester a Port in 1580.
Indeed, the trade on the Severn was so busy by the reign
of Charles I that his imposition of Ship Tax helped the
citizens of Gloucester decide to stand against him in the
English Civil War.
After decades of manual labour, the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal also opened in 1827, allowing the dangerous sandbanks of the river to be bypassed by ocean going vessels. The longest, widest and deepest ship canal in the World as it was when new also brought an abundance of timber to the Cathedral City. This in turn laid the foundation for such firms as Morelands the "Englands Glory" match manufacturers the Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company Limited, Cotton Motorcycles and ultimately the Gloster Aircraft Company.
|Great Western Broad Gauge 0-6-0 "Premier". A similar locomotive was the first to reach Llanthony Quay from Over in September 1853.
|The Great Western Docks Branch to
Llanthony Road Yard from a point on its subsidiary Gloucester
& Dean Forest Railway at Over was opened to traffic on 20 March
1854. The Broad Gauge branch - narrowed in 1872 - was
originally intended to take Forest of Dean coal to the
Western side of Gloucester Docks for export. However, it
soon mirrored the High Orchard Branch of the Midland
Railway on the eastern side of Gloucester Docks in
handling a wide range of merchandise.
In September 1853 however, the Gloucester Journal reported how a Broad Gauge locomotive first reached Llanthony Quay. the locomotive, with railway officials on board, approached across Alney Island and was met at the bridge over the east channel of the River Severn by merchants and others interested in the business of Gloucester Docks. After crossing the river several times to test the strength of the bridge, the locomotive eventually continued to the quay wall beside the canal. There it signified its arrival by two loud triumphant shrieks, which greatly astonished those in the neighbourhood who were unaware of what was happening.
The Gloucester Journal continued:
"Englishmen are seldom thoroughly awakened to the importance attaching to celebrations of this character unless there is something in prospect to gratify their gustative propensities.. Accordingly, we were not surprised to observe.. when two or three waiters were at last seen in the distance, groaning and bending between baskets of goodly provender, that all welcomed their advent, and that the palates of hungry imaginations foretastedthe contents of the hampers. To a cottage, whither the viands had been conveyed, all repaired,and ina room of small dimensions and scanty of chairs, drank champagne, consumed bread and cheese, sponge cakes, ham, pigeon pie, etc with a gusto which showed how keenly the appetite had been sharpened by the loitering without or the blowing ride on the engine. Gentlemen indulged in local toasts.. which were duly responded to..and either the luncheon, the flavour of the champagne or the event of the day drew forth high flown praise of the broad gauge."
"..we observed a strong circle of numerous brawny navvies dancing, shouting and hurrahing round huge eathenware pitchers, which had certainly not been empty, if we may judge from the loudness and vigour of the cheers that assailed our ears occasionally. These men had been liberally treated by Mr Eassie [ the contractor ] and others."
".. the champagne in the cottage was left to fizz its strength away, the navvies with horse voices and heavy heads returned to their work, and crowds of tantalised idlers, with appetites inflamed by the odour of good things, separated without being satisfied."
|As can be seen from the pictures above and below - published on the front cover of the 1969 handbook of the Gloucestershire Society of Industrial Archaeology - Llanthony Road Yard once had a thriving rail and road traffic in cement - much of this arriving at the Blue Circle terminal in Cemflo and Presflo wagons built just across the canal to Sharpness by the Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company.
|However, 1969 also saw the closure
of the 1943 vintage Castle Meads power station which was
supplied with coal transported by rail along the former
Great Western Railway Docks branch from Over. Despite
this, cement traffic continued to arrive at Llanthony
Road Yard until about 1985, when much of it was rebuilt
as the 125 Business Park.
In 2006 the line from Over has been partly blocked by the building of a section of Gloucester's Ring Road while the former Llanthony Road Yard land nearest the canal - not used for the 125 Business Park 20 years earlier - is being redeveloped as a campus for the Gloucestershire College for Arts and Technology (GLOSCAT). One piece of Gloucester's industrial heritage from this site though is scheduled to survive. It is the two story building shown in close up below: between Llanthony Road itself and the articulated lorry with the cable drum.
|This was the yard office where the
yardmaster and his staff could keep an eye on road and
rail movements, monitor a weighbridge and process any
neccessary paperwork. It also served as a mess room for
any shunters and porters - although little is actually
known about the actual activities within the building.
If you, anyone in your family or anyone you know worked in Llanthony Road Yard, Gloucester and can tell me any more about its work and life then please email me
The photographs below were taken in August 2005 and show the building in question with a flat roofed extension to the south and the pitch roofed building with a chimney to its west now demolished. It was at the time being used as a car dealership although this too has now left the premises.
|The building framed by Llanthony Road lifting bridge. This structure replaced the swing bridge across the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal in the 1970s.

Author Notes: How about those radishes? What do you do with these come harvest time? Personally, I totally love them raw….right out of the ground (washed of course) and chomp chomp…..bam that spicy heat just gets me every time…it's SOOO addicting! This recipe has a whole other style because it cooks the radishes and uses the green tops; the fancy name is fried root greens with radishes.
Now if you are both a gardener and a farmers market attendee, these roots are in full swing and you can quickly be inundated with them so maybe some other ways to prep are in the works and much needed in your repertoire of recipes!
First time I had blistered radishes I fell in total love…..then I had them roasted and fell in love again. I guess it's sorta like having a romance renewal with your husband……falling in love different ways, all the time…..
Anyway, both blistering and roasting takes that "edge" off of the radish. While I LOVE that flavor and that addictive "hit", sometimes it just works to have them prepared in a way that complements great seasonal proteins and other root veggies.
This recipe of fried root greens with radishes is ridiculously easy and I serve it often with grilled lamb chops or braised lamb breast but it would totally work with a wonderful grilled flank steak, pork loin chop, or roasted whole chicken…your choice or come up with your own pairing……that's half the fun anyway, isn't it?
So while there is an abundance of these, try out some different recipes and give this one a shot and if you have a little dash of some WONDERFUL aged balsamic vinaigrette, even more of a reason to experiment! —Eatentions
Serves: 2
1 bunch of radishes, tops removed, washed, and radishes quartered
scallions, sliced in half and some of green tops removed
Olive oil
Sea salt and Pepper
Good aged Balsamic Vinaigrette
- In a saute pan over medium heat, heat 2 T of olive oil and put in scallions and cook until browned a little on all sides, remove and keep warm. Add radishes and a little more olive oil. Cook until "blistered" and a bit soft. Remove and keep warm. Add a little sea salt to both
- In a dutch oven, fill bottom about 1 - 1½ inches and heat to about 375 or slightly bubbly. Quickly add the whole green tops of the radishes and cook for 1-2 minutes. Scoop out and put on a plate lined with a paper towel, allow to drain, and sprinkle with sea salt.
- To assemble:
- On a plate, place some of the green tops and place a few radishes and green onion halves. Drizzle balsamic vinaigrette and cracked black pepper. Serve right away.

The first man to wear Gucci for the campaign, Bardem cut a dapper form at the film's London premiere in a three-piece 100 percent organic-wool Signoria tuxedo (trimmed with recycled satin), a 100 percent organic cotton dress shirt, and a recycled satin bow tie. "The materials were produced following GCC criteria as the great design house Gucci once again worked with us to realize a dream of ours: to get sustainable style on to the Bond red carpet," Firth writes in her blog.

Who's the hottest female act in pop music--Madonna? Whitney Houston? Heart? Suzanne Vega? Add to the list Jem and the Holograms, an all-girl group whose song "Truly Outrageous" has sold more than 3 million copies to date.
You won't see the group on MTV, however, or find "Truly Outrageous" listed on Billboard magazine's chart of best-selling records and tapes. That's because Jem and the Holograms are not real-life performers--they are TV cartoon characters based on a line of dolls put out by Hasbro Industries of Pawtucket, R.I.
Each doll (priced from $10 to $15) comes with a cassette containing "Truly Outrageous," the Jem theme song, and two other original songs performed either by the Holograms or the Misfits--the punked-out, bad-girl band that does battle with Jem every Sunday morning.
According to Al Corosi, Hasbro's vice president of marketing, the company has sold more than 3 million of the dolls since they were introduced in February, 1986. That makes "Truly Outrageous"--in record-industry parlance--"triple platinum."

Are you the retiring type?
Asked by Pachy (18572) January 14th, 2013
By that I mean, are you newly or long retired, planning retirement soon, or dead set against ever retiring. The financial benefits for continuing to work long past retirement age are obvious, but can you tell me other reasons that caused you to make the decision to leave your nose on the grindstone or take it off?

Michael Schumacher's statistical dominance of Formula One racing is hardly news. By pretty much any objective standard you care to employ, he's already proved himself the most successful driver the sport has ever produced. But after taking P1 on the grid in Bahrain, he's now just one away from clinching the last of the major statistical records to have eluded him so far - that of the late Ayrton Senna's 65 pole positions.
Not that the seven-times world champion needs to break this final record to prove himself, of course. He's already taken 84 victories from 231 race starts. By contrast, the next most successful driver, Alain Prost, managed 'just' 51 wins from 199 races. Schumacher has taken more fastest laps (69), enjoyed more visits to the podium (143), scored more championship points (1256), led for more laps (4769) and led for more distance (22,469 kilometres) than any other driver in the history of the sport.
Despite all of the above, many will regard this final record - and the relative time it has taken Schumacher to reach it - as clear evidence that this is one area where he can't match the mercurial Senna. The Brazilian racked up his 65 poles in the 161 races that preceded his tragic death at Imola in 1994. Schumacher has needed almost half as many races again to reach the same mark.
Not only is that a considerably better 'strike rate', Senna taking pole on average every 2.5 races during his career, versus one pole for every 3.5 race starts for Schumacher - but the Brazilian was also empirically better able to 'over-qualify' relatively poor cars. In his first season with a front-ranking team, driving for Lotus in 1985, he managed to score seven poles, although the car's disastrous reliability only allowed him to turn one of those into a victory. The following year he bettered that with no fewer than nine pole positions for Lotus, although he emerged victorious at the end of only two of those races.
And in 1988, by now driving for McLaren, Senna put in what was possibly the greatest ever qualifying lap - taking P1 at the tight and twisty Monaco circuit with a time 1.4 seconds faster than the second-placed man - Alain Prost, who was driving an identical car. Gerhard Berger's third placed Ferrari was 2.7 seconds down on him. It was the most dominant qualifying performance in the recent history of the sport - and Senna later confessed that he had felt himself to be having a strange, out-of-body experience while he was doing it.
Schumacher has long claimed to be unconcerned with the statistical records that he is breaking - and he's long since proved himself the most successful Formula One driver of all time. But when it comes to qualifying, the black art of extracting the absolute maximum from a car over a single flying lap, many will argue that - 66 poles or not - it's still the one place he will have to defer to Senna.

There have been many speculations about the effects that cannabis, or its active ingredient delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, has on the central nervous system (CNS). However, while THC may be the most active chemical substance in cannabis, there are over 400 different substances in cannabis. Of these, there are approximately 66 known cannabinoids that are found exclusively on the cannabis plant. While all of these bind to the cannabinoid receptors in the brain, THC is not only the cannabinoid that binds best to the receptor but it is also the natural component that is most effective medically.
The cannabinoid receptors are also activated by the endogenous cannabinoids naturally created in the body. In humans this neurotransmitter is known as anandamide (N-arachidonoylethanolamide or AEA). THC is the phytocannabinoid (not created naturally in the body) that mimics anandamide in the body. The cannabinoid receptors are a group of G-coupled protein receptor (seven-transmembrane domain receptors) which means that there are seven transmembrane alpha-helices that detect a cannabinoid on the outside of the membrane and immediately release factors on the inside of the nerve terminal. The receptors that the cannabinoid receptors activate are known at the CB1 and CB2 receptors. The cannabinoid receptors are the only two of their kind that are known to be located in cell membranes of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles.
CB1 receptors are predominantly found in the brain in the basal ganglia and the hippocampus. They are also found in the cerebellum, and the male and female reproductive organs. The CB1 receptor is associated with feelings of euphoria, and it also has plays a role in anti-convulsive pathways. The places where these receptors are absent are the medulla oblongata and the brain stem. The brain stem and medulla oblongata are responsible for cardiovascular and respiratory functions; not having the cannabinoid receptor would leave them completely unaffected by THC, or any other cannabinoid. The lack of cannabinoid receptors on the medulla also might suggest why there has never been a case of overdose of THC, regardless of the amount consumed or the method of consumption. Likewise, there is a lack of cannabinoid receptors on the mesocorticolimbic pathway means that there is a significantly decreased chance of physical addiction because a dopaminergic pathway is not involved.
Where the CB2 receptors are located is one of the main differences between the CB1 and CB2 receptors. The CB2 receptor is located in the immune system and the cells derived from the immune system. They are found in the highest concentration on the spleen (also found in the tonsils and thymus gland), and they function primarily for anti- inflammatory responses. The CB2 receptors are most likely active in immune suppression. While this may seem counter productive, there are many autoimmune disease where the body's natural immunity begins to attack healthy cells. The anti-inflammatory component of the cannabis have been influential in developing treatments for demylenating disorders such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinsons's disease.
There is large amounts of evidence that prove researchers have discovered the mechanisms of action of the cannabinoid receptors. The CB1 receptor is activated when THC binds to the active site of the receptor. This inhibits the enzyme adenylate cyclase, which is responsible for converting ATP to cAMP. Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is the secondary messenger for protein kinase A therefore passively shutting down the A-type potassium channel (rapidly activating voltage-gated channels). The A-type potassium channel is responsible for numerous functions; some of them include regulating neurotransmitter release, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, insulin secretion, heart rate, neuronal excitability, and cell volume. Another type of potassium channel that the CB1 receptor effects is the inwardly rectifying potassium channel. This is a potassium selective ion channel that is responsible for regulation neuronal activity and establishing the resting membrane potential of the cell membrane. Because this potassium channel is activated by a G-coupled protein receptor it suggests that the channel is activated by the beta and gamma sub-units of the heterotrimeric G protein complex.
Another way that THC replicates the anandamide receptor system in the central nervous system is that it directly inhibits N and P/Q-type voltage dependent calcium channels and sodium channels. These channels are responsible for the release of neurotransmitters at the presynaptic cleft. Inhibiting these channels would prevent the influx of sodium and calcium and therefore inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters, L- glutamate, GABA, noradrenaline, 5-HT and acetylcholine. These neurotransmitters are normally released into the synapse and either taken back up by the synapse or by the adjacent cell, but many drugs either prevent the reuptake of neurotranmitter (therefore leaving more to be taken up by the other cell) or they modify the presynaptic terminal to release more neurotransmitter than the body would do naturally.
Lastly, one of the major mechanisms of action of THC in the brain is to activate the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase enzyme. This pathway is known to contribute to regular cellular activities, including; gene expression, cell proliferation, differentiation, and ultimately the apoptotic pathway. This pathway could be instrumental in discovering the anti-tumor properties of the cannabinoids.
Scientists have found that the cannabinoids, when binding to mutated/cancerous cells that they signal the cell to "commit suicide" because it has not copied its faithfully. This would ultimately decrease the instance of cancerous cells among patients. THC has proven to regulate the release of neurotransmitters in the brain; there is evidence that THC is a neuroprotective agent.
The impact of a new study are leading researchers at the National Institutes of Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland to discover that cannabinoidol and THC are cannabinoid receptor independent, which means that cannabinoid receptor agonists do not affect their ability to bind. They also discovered that "cannabidiol, THC and several synthetic cannabinoids all were demonstrated to be antioxidants by cyclic voltametry." This is is important in glutamate excitotoxicity because it has been show that antioxidants can prevent glutamate from reaching toxic levels. A Dutch team of scientists from Utrecht University studying how to prevent neurodegeneration by using THC found results that were similar to previous findings. They also found that "cannabidiol and THC also were shown to prevent hydroperoxide-induced oxidative damage as well as or better than other antioxidants in a chemical (Fenton reaction) system and neuronal cultures." This finding would be particularly helpful for patients suffering from cerebral ischemia because there is always a risk of creating highly reactive oxygen chemical molecules when an oxygen deprived region of the brain with oxygen.

In order to prevent this from happening MS Word 2007 comes with an option of "Hyphenation". This means that if a word exceeds the space at the end of a line, MS Word will automatically break that word and put a hyphen between the broken words. Let us display how it works. Consider the word document shown below for this. It is the same what we have written here. You can see that in the image above every word is complete in itself. All the lines are justified in format. Now click on "Page Layout" and under "Page Setup" option click on "Hyphenation". You will be able to see a drop down menu as shown below. The drop down options display the following: None- This is used to remove the Hyphenation selection from the document. Automatic: This is used so that the Hyphenation takes place automatically in the document. Manual- This option allows you to confirm whether you need the hyphenation or not. Now once you see the drop down just click on Automatic. As soon as you click Automatic the Hyphena-tion gets applied to the entire document. As you see below the word "Automatically" in the 5th line gets hyphenated automatically. This happens when you select the Automatic function. Now in case you select the Manual option from the dropdown you will be prompted with the hyphenation action to confirm as shown below. Press Yes to confirm or No to ignore. Similarly this will happen for all the words across the document. It is recommended to use Automatic hyphenation option since it is convenient.
Hyphenation Function in MS Word 2007
Labels: Automatic hyphenation, Hyphen, Hyphenation, Hyphenation Function in MS Word 2007, Justify, MS Word 2007
Most of us while presenting the word document prefer to justify the entire format. But in some cases the justify format doesn't help as the word which is at the end of the line has more characters and exceeds the space available to move on to the next line.

Brolli Blue Carnation
It has been described as polychromatic stylized Carnation (Garofano) exotically set in the midst of a garden that appears caught between the world of the cultivated and the wild. The Garofano is one of the world's most popular designs created for dinnerware. It is produced today by many factories throughout the globe with only slight variations in the design. It was first created by the workshop of Count Ferniani of Faena in 1750. Dinnerware of this type has become closely associated with the city and almost all potteries in the area produce dinnerware in the Garofano design. ~ Walter Del Pellegrino

Thank you for publishing this. Unfortunately you are very right. As a matter of fact, the first picture happens to be in my living town of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in the Kingdom of The Canary Islands (Kingdom of Spain). Very nice picture, indeed. It is a yearly ceremony which used to be held until a few years ago: the civic procession of the Royal Banner of the Island of Grand-Canary, on the anniversary of the Conquest of the Isle by Spain in the XVth Century, the 29th April. This Royal Banner is kept under the protection of the Chapter of the Basilica-Cathedral of our Canarian Diocese. It has been some years now since this ceremony is only held into the Basilica-Cathedral with a Mass, due to public disturbs during the procession the last years it was taken out to the streets.
Yours faithfully

Back when I was teaching I used to say to my year seven students, "There are two rules for life. Be nice to your teacher. And be nice to your mummy. If you do these two things all will go well for you." Of course they would laugh. When you are twelve years old you don't call your mum "Mummy." But making twelve year olds laugh is one way to make them listen to you!
In a similar vein to the year seven rules of life, but far better, my husband farewells our boys off to school each morning by saying, "Be a blessing to your teachers and be a blessing to your friends." Such wonderful words for them to hear as they head off for their day, most especially because they understand, at least in small part, what it means to be a blessing.
I have been dipping into The Valley of Vision again recently. At the back there is a set of prayers for the week - one for each morning and evening. This morning's prayer - the prayer for the sixth morning of the week - finishes up with some wonderful words that amplify an aspect of what it means to be a blessing to those about us as we make our way through our day.
Thy Son is our only refuge, foundation, hope, confidence;
We depend upon his death,
rest in his righteousness,
desire to bear his image;
May his glory fill our minds,
his love reign in our affections,
his cross inflame us with ardour.
Let us as Christians fill our various situations in life,
escape the snares to which they expose us,
discharge the duties that arise from our circumstances,
enjoy with moderation their advantages,
improve with diligence their usefulness,
And may every place and company we are in be benefited by us.
The line "Let us as Christians fill our various situations in life," particularly caught my gaze, that "every place and company we are in be benefited by us." Beautiful. A helpful thing to bring to mind while travelling through the day. And it reminded me of this...I have thought about this subject before.

That's right — Rick Astley, the gingered crooner who was responsible for such hits as "Never Gone Give You Up" and "Together Forever," has gone viral. Well okay, he was viral before (if you've never heard of Rickrolling, click here — Yes, that's right. There's a Wikipedia page dedicated to this). This time though, it has taken the form of the iPhone's first worm.
This bit of code, named "Ikee," got into a bunch of jailbroken iPhones in Australia and left its mark by leaving behind a picture of Astley. Seriously. That's what this does. The worm sets the wallpaper image to the 80s singer as a prank. According to Ikee's writer, Ashley Towns, his phone alone was responsible for leaving behind some 100 pictures of the celeb on that many phones in his native country.
There have no reports of this spreading outside Australia for now, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wound up here.
Ikee infects jailbroken iPhones only by using a similar tactic as the Dutch hacker who broadcasted messages directly into other people's handsets. (In the jailbreaking process, some people neglect to change the default password, which permits unauthorized access via SSH.) Ikee is slightly different, though, in that it moves on to look for other vulnerable handsets to infect over the Internet.
It seems harmless and kind of funny at first. That is, until you realize the real security breach this represents.
Here's the part that's not so funny: Although he later removed it, Towns had first published the code online in an effort to warn people about the security risk. While he may not have had any malicious intent, the next hacker might — and now the code has been out in the open.
Again, if you have a clean iPhone (i.e., not jailbroken), this won't affect you. If you don't, then make sure to change that password.

Hoping to catch lightning in a bottle, the Astros are adding quite a few non-descript names to the non-roster invite list.
Honestly, there's very little chance that Russ Ortiz, Danny Graves or Toby Hall make the team, but it's a low-risk, high-reward opportunity, so they'll take a shot.
Rather than one of those players, the Astros' season could ride on whether the mainline roster and starters have big seasons.
Carlos Lee is heading into Year Three of his big contract and while he has produced good numbers, he hasn't had that monster season you might expect from a $100 million guy. But is that monster year a must for Lee? He's a consistent player, who may be more likely to turn in another .300 season with 35 HRs and 110-120 RBI.
Lance Berkman is a possible candidate to put up huge numbers. And he's due one of those years! Berkman has, indeed, had two sub-par seasons. A .278 average (2007) with only 34 HRs and 102 RBI is hardly Berkmanesque. Neither is last year's (.312/29/106).
And then there's Roy Oswalt. He's often been in Cy Young contention, although not recently. He may need to have one of those years to lift a staff that could send a number of starting pitchers to the mound over the course of the upcoming season.
Oswalt finished with a 17-10 mark for 2008, but posted career highs for ERA (3.54) and HRs allowed (23).
I'm not sure any of these three players have that huge season left. But if they can maintain simply a solid season, perhaps another player can become key to the season (Tejada, Pence, Matsui).
Which one of these veterans is likely to have the monster year? What, in fact, would you call a monster year? Twenty wins for Roy? Forty home runs for Berkman or Lee?
Does a successful season depend on at least one of these guys having a career year? Or is it just as important for them to have consistent seasons without slumps or injuries?
