Published 2 years ago on June 2, 2017 By Alex Christoforou 345 Views Share Tweet Article first appeared on RussiaFeed. Farage was laughing at the ridiculousness of it all, but Tucker Carlson made one very good point. During the interview Carlson warned Farage that this is a deep state, liberal left smear campaign targeted at the UKIP/Brexit leader. It is more than "fake news", it's all about silencing and destroying dissenting voices…voices which are tearing apart the corrupt, elitist system built up over the last 25 years. "Russia collusion" has become the go to weapon in the globalist arsenal of character assassination. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Published 15 hours ago on March 22, 2019 By Alex Christoforou RT CrossTalk host Peter Lavelle and The Duran's Alex Christoforou take a look at new evidence to surface from Ukraine that exposes a plot by the US Embassy in Kiev and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) to leak Paul Manafort's corrupt dealings in the country, all for the benefit of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Remember to Please Subscribe to The Duran's YouTube Channel. Follow The Duran Audio Podcast on Soundcloud. Via Zerohedge… Ukraine's Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko has launched an investigation into the head of the Ukrainian National Anti-Corruption Bureau for allegedly attempting to help Hillary Clinton defeat Donald Trump during the 2016 US election by releasing damaging information about a "black ledger" of illegal business dealings by former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. The Hill's John Solomon, Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko "Today we will launch a criminal investigation about this and we will give legal assessment of this information," Lutsenko said last week, according to The Hill. Lutsenko is probing a claim from a member of the Ukrainian parliament that the director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), Artem Sytnyk, attempted to the benefit of the 2016 U.S. presidential election on behalf of Hillary Clinton. A State Department spokesman told Hill.TV that officials aware of news reports regarding Sytnyk. –The Hill "According to the member of parliament of Ukraine, he got the court decision that the NABU official conducted an illegal intrusion into the American election campaign," said Lutsenko, speaking with The Hill's John Solomon about the anti-corruption bureau chief, Artem Sytnyk. "It means that we think Mr. Sytnyk, the NABU director, officially talked about criminal investigation with Mr. [Paul] Manafort, and at the same time, Mr. Sytnyk stressed that in such a way, he wanted to assist the campaign of Ms. Clinton," Lutsenko continued. Solomon asked Lutsenko about reports that a member of Ukraine's parliament obtained a tape of the current head of the NABU saying that he was attempting to help Clinton win the 2016 presidential election, as well as connections that helped release the black-ledger files that exposed Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's wrongdoing in Ukraine. "This member of parliament even attached the audio tape where several men, one of which had a voice similar to the voice of Mr. Sytnyk, discussed the matter." –The Hill What The Hill doesn't mention is that Sytnyk released Manafort's Black Book with Ukrainian lawmaker Serhiy Leshchenko – discussed in great length by former Breitbart investigator Lee Stranahan, who has been closely monitoring this case. Serhiy Leshchenko T]he main spokesman for these accusations was Serhiy Leshchenko, a Ukrainian politician and journalist who works closely with both top Hillary Clinton donors George Soros and Victor Pinchuk, as well as to the US Embassy in Kyiv. … James Comey should be asked about this source that Leshchenko would not identify. Was the source someone connected to US government, either the State Department or the Department of Justice? The New York Times should also explain why they didn't mention that Leshchenko had direct connections to two of Hillary Clinton biggest financial backers. Victor Pinchuk, the largest donor to the Clinton Foundation at a staggering $8.6 million also happened to have paid for Leshchenko's expenses to go to international conferences. George Soros, whose also founded the International Renaissance Foundationthat worked closely with Hillary Clinton's State Department in Ukraine, also contributed at least $8 million to Hillary affiliated super PACs in the 2016 campaign cycle. –Lee Stranahan via Medium Meanwhile, according to former Fusion GPS contractor Nellie Ohr, Leshchenko was a source for opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which commissioned the infamous Trump-Russia dossier. Nellie Ohr, a former contractor for the Washington, D.C.-based Fusion GPS, testified on Oct. 19 that Serhiy Leshchenko, a former investigative journalist turned Ukrainian lawmaker, was a source for Fusion GPS during the 2016 campaign. "I recall … they were mentioning someone named Serhiy Leshchenko, a Ukrainian," Ohr said when asked who Fusion GPS's sources were, according to portions of Ohr's testimony confirmed by The Daily Caller News Foundation. –Daily Caller Also absent from The Hill report is the fact that Leshchenko was convicted in December by a Kiev court of interfering in the 2016 US election. A Kyiv court said that a Ukrainian lawmaker and a top anticorruption official's decision in 2016 to publish documents linked to President Donald Trump's then-campaign chairman amounted to interference in the U.S. presidential election. The December 11 finding came in response to a complaint filed by another Ukrainian lawmaker, who alleged that Serhiy Leshchenko and Artem Sytnyk illegally released the documents in August 2016, showing payments by a Ukrainian political party to Trump's then-campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. The documents, excerpts from a secret ledger of payments by the Party of Regions, led to Manafort being fired by Trump's election campaign. The Kyiv court said that the documents published by Leshchenko and Sytnyk were part of an ongoing pretrial investigation in Ukraine into the operations of the pro-Russian Party of Regions. The party's head had been President Viktor Yanukovych until he fled the country amid mass protests two years earlier. -RadioFreeEurope/Radio Liberty (funded by the US govt.). So while Lutsenko – Solomon's guest and Ukrainian Prosecutor is currently going after Artem Sytnyk, it should be noted that Leshchenko was already found to have meddled in the 2016 US election.

Published 17 hours ago on March 22, 2019 By RT Via RT… Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage has announced that he will lead his new Brexit Party into the European elections if UK MPs decide to delay Brexit beyond May 22. Farage, who has ostensibly appointed himself leader, told various media, including the BBC and Sky News on Friday morning: "I will take over as leader of the Brexit Party and lead it into the European Elections." Nigel Farage says that if the UK takes part in European elections, he will lead his new Brexit Party. When asked who is financially backing the party, he replies "don't worry, they're all UK registered" https://t.co/d7fl8711cE pic.twitter.com/KTI2KmsYND — Sky News Politics (@SkyNewsPolitics) March 22, 2019 It comes after the Brexit Party's leader, Catherine Blaiklock, quit over a series of alleged Islamophobic statements and retweets of far-right figures on social media. It is not yet thought that Farage has officially been elected as leader, as the party does not, as yet, have a formal infrastructure to conduct such a vote. The right-wing MEP vowed to put out a whole host of Brexit Party candidates if the UK participates in the upcoming EU elections in May, adding: "If we fight those elections, we will fight them on trust." On Thursday night, the EU agreed to PM May's request for a delaying to Brexit beyond the March 29 deadline. Brussels announced two new exit dates depending on what happens next week in the UK parliament. The UK will have to leave the bloc on April 12 unless British MPs agree to May's Brexit deal. If the withdrawal agreement is passed by next week, EU leaders have agreed to grant an extension until May 22. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Published 17 hours ago on March 22, 2019 By The Duran Submitted by Adomas Abromaitis… On March 29 Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia will celebrate 15 years of becoming NATO member states. The way to the alliance membership was not simple for newly born independent countries. They have reached great success in fulfilling many of NATO demands: they have considerably increased their defence expenditures, renewed armaments and increased the number of military personnel. In turn, they get used to rely on more powerful member states, their advice, help and even decision making. All these 15 years they felt more or less safe because of proclaimed European NATO allies' capabilities. Unfortunately, now it is high time to doubt. The matter is NATO today is not as strong as it supposed to be. And it is not only because of leadership's blunders. Every member state does a bit. As for the Baltic states, they are particularly vulnerable, because they fully depend on other NATO member states in their defence. Thus, Germany, Canada and Britain are leading nations of the NATO battle group stationed in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia respectively. But the state of national armed forces in Germany, for example, raises doubts and makes it impossible not only defend the Baltics against Russia, but Germany itself. It turned out, that Germany itself remains dissatisfied with its combat readiness and minister of defence's ability to perform her duties. Things are so bad, that the military's annual readiness report would be kept classified for the first time for "security reasons." "Apparently the readiness of the Bundeswehr is so bad that the public should not be allowed to know about it," said Tobias Lindner, a Greens member who serves on the budget and defense committees. Inspector General Eberhard Zorn said (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-arms/germany-not-satisfied-with-readiness-of-submarines-some-aircraft-idUSKBN1QS1G7) the average readiness of the country's nearly 10,000 weapons systems stood at about 70 percent in 2018, which meant Germany was able to fulfill its military obligations despite increasing responsibilities. No overall comparison figure was available for 2017, but last year's report revealed readiness rates of under 50 percent for specific weapons such as the aging CH-53 heavy-lift helicopters and the Tornado fighter jets. Zorn said this year's report was more comprehensive and included details on five main weapons systems used by the cyber command, and eight arms critical for NATO's high readiness task force, which Germany heads this year. "The overall view allows such concrete conclusions about the current readiness of the Bundeswehr that knowledge by unauthorized individuals would harm the security interests of the Federal Republic of Germany," he wrote. Critics are sure of incompetence of the Federal Minister of Defence, Ursula von der Leyen. Though she has occupied the upper echelons of German politics for 14 years now — and shows no sign of success. This mother of seven, gynecologist by profession, by some miracle for a long time has been remaining in power, though has no trust even among German military elites. Despite numerous scandals she tries to manage the Armed Forces as a housewife does and, of course, the results are devastating for German military capabilities. The same statement could be easily apply for the Baltic States, which highly dependent on Germany in military sphere. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

|Goat! Tastes a lot like beef
I've done a thing that I feel bad about. Not bad, but I feel like a quitter. I've done a thing that makes me feel like I've betrayed the sister-motherhood a bit.
I've hired a nanny 5 mornings a week.
A lot of people probably assume that I have a full time nanny and a housekeeper and a driver because my husband once made a telly programme, but it's not that case. I have help, but like most people who can afford and want to have help, but who do not work full-time, it's patchy and makeshift.
I don't want too much because there are many tedious domestic and familial things that you ought to do yourself and there are many tedious domestic and familial things that I want to do myself. But I don't want too little help because the house would fall to bits and it would destroy my marriage.
So I used to have the odd bit of help in the mornings but I now have a chance to opt out of mornings altogether and, ladies, I'm grabbing it with both hands. I'm getting enough paid work to justify it, you see, and I'm gone - NEEEYOWM! My chair is still going round and round. Kitty goes to nursery, Sam goes out to tear up Kentish Town High Street with the delightful and fragrant Mihaela and I answer to no-one but myself from 0930 to 1300.
And I am mostly okay about this decision, and push thoughts of failure from my mind, because I have done a lot of mornings of childcare and I've just bloody had enough. I could never make it work for me. My best mum friends don't live within wheeling distance and I never managed to get myself a cosy circle of mates to hang out with.
Mihaela, of course, has great teeming masses of nanny friends with their own delightful little charges and they skitter about from playground to playgroup like little buggy fairies and natter away and watch each other's kids, like it ought to be. It was never meant to just be me and the kid, staring at each other, both thinking "Well, this is dull."And if Sam picks up Mihaela's sing-song Romanian accent I will find it charming.
I'm still in sole charge from 1pm-bedtime, which is still hard work but getting easier now Sam is bigger. Kitty zips about knocking things over, squashing PlayDoh into the carpet and throwing potty-related fits and Sam sits on the floor, staring at Kitty with his mouth hanging open, going "Ger", and sometimes "Ah ba ba ba ba ba ba". (And sometimes he just whinges and whimpers and growls from 3pm-bedtime but let's not dwell on that.)
But I feel like a traitor. I feel like a cheat and a weakling - and also slightly neglectful - because I never thought I would get 5 mornings of childcare until Sam was at nursery, when he turned two and a half. I just thought I would mostly do it all myself until then, and only then kick back and deservedly relish my free mornings.
I know how hard all-day childcare is, especially with the under-2s. I know how demoralising and humiliating and boring it is. I've seen it with my own eyes and I don't want to do it any more. A half day, yes yes fine - but not all day. Please not all day!
It used to piss me off, those pieces in the paper quoting any parent saying "I have so much respect for stay at home mothers. I couldn't do it, I would go mad!" It struck me (because I am so angry and defensive about everything) as somehow deeply patronising, like stay at home mothers are aliens from the Planet Patient And Kind.
"What," I would think, "you don't think it sends me mad? You think I somehow have some intellectual thing about me missing that means I can deal with this better than you can?"
Why not, I thought, just be honest about it. You could do full-time childcare if you wanted to. You just don't want to. Don't dress up the fact that you don't want to look after kids full-time as some kind of delightful, chic little personal failing. Just say it. Just say "Full-time childcare is just too awful. I'd much rather look at spreadsheet for 8 hours a day."It's okay to say that! We're all friends here. (Up to a point.)
Some people, I would fume, cannot afford to go back to work because their salary minus childcare is a negative figure. It's not a choice! Some people, of course, cannot afford not to not go back to work (are you still with me?) because their salary minus childcare equals the mortgage. And there are a lot of people whose salary minus childcare equals the mortgage, sunny holidays, private school fees, snazzy shoes… And some people have to go back to work because if they took a few years out to look after kids their job would swiftly be given to someone else, the world would move on and when they did want to go back to work, they couldn't.
Anyway, Christ, I don't kid myself that the money I earn makes any difference to this house, but it justifies the extra childcare. If I'm not working, then it's only right that I take on most of the childcare. And I just can't take it anymore. There's nothing special or precious about me that means I am less good at childcare or that I ought to be exempt from it. I am reasonably good at it these days in fact - you learn to be good at looking after the under-5s like you learn everything else. But I know what a full day of childcare means and the simple truth is: I really, really don't want to do it anymore.
Anyway so don't have a bloody go at me for chucking in the mornings because it works out well for you, too - I mean, those of you who actually like reading this blog rather than those people who read it and are then mean about it on Mumsnet (why are you reading?!) because it means that I will have a bit more breathing space to blog rather than spending every second having my photo taken looking fat for the paper. Sorry I mean doing my mega important work like writing about haircuts and what I had for lunch. I've gone crazy with the power of it all.
Are you still there?
Now come here, stop backing out of the door, take my hand and let's leap into the world of Cooking With Goat. Yes! I said it: goat. Not mutton, not kid. GOAT.
Cooking with goat appeals to me (as much as any meat appeals to me these days, I am *this* close to becoming vegetarian) because it is not lamb. And goats are annoying.
This is not a thing to go out especially looking for, this is just a nudge from me to have a go at goat if you have access to it: you may live in an area where they sell it and have wondered what the hell to do with it. You can curry it if you like, but you can also treat it less fearfully and use it in this Osso Bucco-type stew, which goes like this:
1 large thing of goat, about 1kg, from the leg somewhere
1 large white onion
2 small carrots or one big one
About 300 ml chicken stock
3 sticks of celery
2 big cloves of garlic
some assorted herbs, whatever you can get your hands on: bay, thyme, MARJORAM?!
definitely a bunch of parsley
some lemon zest
1 glass shitty white wine
Preheat your oven to 140C
1 Chop up your veg and garlic really small into a mirepoix (if you don't know what this is, Google "Recipe Rifle + Mirepoix because the Search function on this piece-of-shit blog isn't working).
2 Brown your goat all over in a casserole dish (which has a lid) in some plain oil then remove to a plate.
3 Without cleaning the pan, sweat your veg gently in the same casserole for about 10 minutes. Then throw in your glass of shitty wine and bubble down until there is only a small pool of liquid.
4 Put the goat back in, along with any juices that have run off onto the plate it was sitting on and the chicken stock. Put a lid on then put it in the oven for 5 hours. YES YOU HEARD ME FIVE HOURS.
5 It shouldn't dry out because at that temperature it sort of can't - water from the veg and from the meat as well as the stock will create a self-sauce.
6 To serve chop a lot of parsley and lemon zest together and sprinkle over.
Eat while thumbing your iPhone because you're so fackin busy with werk, yah?

Treasured by Buddhists of all traditions, Shantideva's Way of the Bodhisattva is a guide for anyone seeking to cultivate the mind of enlightenment and the qualities of love, compassion, patience, and generosity. Presented in the form of a personal meditation in verse, it outlines the path of the Bodhisattvas—those who renounce the peace of individual enlightenment, and vow to work for the liberation of all beings and to attain Buddhahood for their sake. This audio edition offers a new way to encounter the beauty and profundity of Shantideva's verses, which are read by Wulstan Fletcher, a member of the Padmakara Translation Group.
3 hours, unabridged.
"Shantideva's work is required reading for an understanding of Tibetan Buddhism, and the clarity and crispness of this translation make it an accessible way into this world." —Publishers Weekly
"If I have any understanding of compassion and the practice of the bodhisattva path, it is entirely on the basis of this text that I possess it." —H. H. the Dalai Lama
"The Way of the Bodhisattva was composed in India over twelve centuries ago, yet it remains remarkably relevant for our times. This classic text gives surprisingly up-to-date instructions for people like you and me to live sanely and openheartedly, even in a very troubled world. It is the essential guidebook for fledgling bodhisattvas, those spiritual warriors who long to alleviate suffering, their own and that of others." —Pema Chödrön

DxOMark measurements for lenses and camera sensors
We measure the performance of camera sensors that are capable of producing RAW images, be it in professional, semi-professional or consumer-level categories. We also measure the performance of interchangeable lenses for cameras equipped with such sensors.
DxOMark measures camera sensors for:
- ISO sensitivity (speed)
- Noise (standard deviation, signal-to-noise ratio, dynamic range, and tonal range)
- Color sensitivity
DxOMark measures lenses (mounted on cameras) for:
- Resolution, derived from the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) measurement
- Distortion
- Vignetting
- Light transmission (T-stop)
- Chromatic aberrations
From all these measurements we compute the DxOMark Scores (for Use Cases and Metrics).
All measurements are performed at our testing labs using our DxO Analyzer image quality evaluation solution.
Further readings for the DxOMark measurements for lenses and camera sensors
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
On DxOMark, we evaluate and rank many types of digital cameras with image sensors that vary widely in pixel count, pixel size, and digital signal processing. To ensure that sensor performance comparisons between cameras are fair, it is very important both to test under identical shooting conditions and to take viewing conditions into account.

Underwater Trash Surfaces in a Whole New Way this Earth Day
Cars, a makeshift toilet, a full set of golf clubs, a set of false teeth and a pogo stick. These are just some of the unusual items found by volunteer scuba divers who are helping Project AWARE offer a new, underwater view of the problem of trash – much of it plastic – in the ocean.
Today, we launched the new Dive Against Debris Map to visualize the efforts of more than 21,000 volunteer divers in over 60 countries of the world to date. Dive Against Debris, launched in 2011, is a global survey of types and amounts of trash removed underwater by volunteer divers, reported online, and now reflected on the map.
Thanks to AWARE divers, the map is helping to add an underwater view to a problem that is mostly invisible to the public. Divers often untangle or try to rescue marine life impacted by our debris. At the end of last year, divers in Indonesia successfully rescued five white tip reef sharks pups they found entangled in discarded fishing net. Despite their awesome efforts, they were saddened to find some other white tips pups had already drowned. This is the sad reality of marine debris – it's responsible for killing and injuring thousands of marine animals and birds every year.
What does the Dive Against Debris Map show? The story so far:
- Plastics are the No. 1 type of trash found by Dive Against Debris volunteers, making up 66% of the total nearly 400,000 pieces of debris reported to date.
- More than 700 entangled or dead marine animals reported since 2011, including marine mammals, birds, fish and crustaceans.
- 1400 Dive Against Debris surveys reported from more than 60 countries (1112 of which are visualized on the map to date).
Thanks to all the Dive Against Debris volunteers who have submitted data so far and regularly survey their local dive sites. We couldn't do it without you! Remember, if you Dive Against Debris, be sure to submit your data online to be included on the Dive Against Debris Map.
What can you do to help right now?
- Visit the map to see what trash divers are finding in the ocean.
- Share the map with friends or colleagues to help spread the word about underwater trash and the harm it causes the marine environment.
- Start your Dive Against Debris and help protect marine life from trash in the ocean.
- Donate today for a clean and healthy ocean. Your gift will stop plastics harming marine life and keep our ocean free of debris.

Los Angeles County coroner's officials identified the victims as Amanda Ghossein, 24, of Monterey Park; Jennifer Kim, 26, of Montebello; Robert Calabia, 34, of Los Angeles; and Teofilo Navales, 49, of Castaic. Coroner's spokesman Ed Winter said Los Angeles police had placed a security hold on any additional information about the deaths.
Also Thursday, four suspects in the slayings were awaiting an extradition hearing in Las Vegas, where they were arrested without incident Monday afternoon. Authorities tracked the group to the Silverton Hotel and Casino, and said they checked into the hotel Sunday evening after fleeing Los Angeles.

People like Jo Luck, president of Heifer International, offer a shining example of his vision in action. Luck brought hundreds of thousands of global citizens into the battle to fight hunger and poverty as CEO of Heifer International from 1992 to 2009. She expanded the organization's scope and impact around the world in its programs to provide livestock and training to households in poor communities. In addition to increasing Heifer International's activities to promote sustainability, Luck's innovations let donors in resource-rich countries connect with recipients in developing countries. As a result, Heifer International's supporters grew more than tenfold in the past decade, enabling 1.5 million families to put nutritious food on their tables in 2009 alone. Last month in Des Moines, Iowa, Luck was awarded the prestigious World Food Prize, along with David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World. The award recognizes the achievements of individuals who have advanced human development by improving the quality, quantity or availability of food in the world. Charitable initiative. Heifer Inter-national is the first partner with Farm Journal Media in Farmers Feeding the World, a hunger and education effort through the newly established Farm Journal Foundation. "The Farm Journal Foundation is both humbled and proud to be working with an organization whose leader won this international award," says Andrew J. Weber, Jr., chairman of the Foundation. The World Food Prize is awarded annually at the Norman E. Borlaug International Symposium and includes a $250,000 award. It recognizes contributions in any field involved in the world food supply: food and agriculture science and technology, manufacturing, marketing, nutrition, economics, poverty alleviation, political leadership and the social sciences.

Salsa overtaking ketchup as America's No. 1 condiment was just the start.
These days, tortillas outsell burger and hot dog buns; sales of tortilla chips trump potato chips; and tacos and burritos have become so ubiquitously "American," most people don't even consider them ethnic.
Welcome to the taste of American food in 2013.
As immigrant and minority populations rewrite American demographics, the nation's collective menu is reflecting this flux, as it always has. And it goes beyond the mainstreaming of once-esoteric ethnic ingredients, something we've seen with everything from soy sauce to jalapenos.
This is a rewrite of the American menu at the macro level, an evolution of whole patterns of how people eat. The difference this time? The biggest culinary voting bloc is Hispanic.
"When you think about pizza and spaghetti, it's the same thing," says Jim Kabbani, CEO of the Tortilla Industry Association. "People consider them American, not ethnic. It's the same with tortillas."
With Hispanics making up more than a quarter of the U.S. population today — and growing fast — experts say this change is dramatically flavoring the American culinary experience. Hispanic foods and beverages were an $8 billion market in the last year, according to consumer research firm Packaged Facts. By 2017, that number may reach $11 billion.
And that's influencing how all Americans eat. Doritos, after all, are just tarted-up tortilla chips.
As the entire menu of the American diet gets rewritten, the taste is getting spicier, with salsa and chipotle popping into the mainstream vernacular. And onto your dinner table: Marie Callender's has grilled shrimp street tacos with chipotle ranch dressing; Whataburger has a fire-roasted blend of poblano peppers in its chicken fajita taco; and there's tomatillo verde salsa in the baja shrimp stuffed quesadilla from El Pollo Loco.
From queso fresco to chorizo, traditional Hispanic foods — or even just the flavors of them — are making their way into our everyday diet, particularly among the millennials — those born between the early '80s and the turn of the century. Generation Y's Hispanic community was born into an American culture but still holds onto its traditions, often eating white rice and seamlessly switching between English and Spanish.
"They are looking for products that are not necessarily big brands anymore," says Michael Bellas, chairman of the Beverage Marketing Corporation. "They like brands that have character. They are looking for authenticity and purity, but they are also looking for new experiences."
For example, popular among the millennials and other generations on the West Coast is the Mexican soda Jarritos, which boasts real fruit flavors ranging from mango to guava. The company's site showcases a collage of photos taken by Generation Y soda drinkers. Brightly colored sodas pop through their clear vintage-looking bottles. And the bottle caps share a simple message: "Que buenos son," or "They're so good."
Another Hispanic beverage making ever more rounds in households across America is tequila.
In 2006, nearly 107 million of liters of tequila were exported to the U.S., a 23 percent increase over 2005, according to Judith Meza, representative of the Tequila Regulatory Council. Tequila entered the top 10 of liquors in the world five years ago, she said.
Even our choice of side dishes is feeling the influence. In general, Americans are eating fewer of them. Except white rice, a staple of Hispanic cuisines, says Darren Seifer, a food and beverage analyst for The NPD Group, a consumer marketing organization.
Americans ate rice on its own as a side dish (not counting as an ingredient in another dish) an average of 24 times in 2013, up from 20 servings in 2003, according to NPD's National Eating Trend.
Why has rice resisted the death of the side dish? It's one of the traditions millennial Hispanics have held onto, says Seifer.
And that's just the start. Rice also was the top-rated side dish in a National Restaurant Association chefs survey of what's hot. The same survey also found chefs touting taquitos as appetizers; ethnic-inspired breakfast items such as chorizo scrambled eggs; exotic fruits including guava; queso fresco as an ingredient; and Peruvian cuisine.

Glen Ellyn parents hesitant about change in school structure
Two days before the Glen Ellyn District 41 school board is scheduled to vote on a new structure for elementary education that includes multi-age classes, board members met with almost 100 parents Saturday morning, many of them concerned implementation of the new structure is moving too fast.
The proposal for a new elementary teaching structure, called the Think Tank, has become controversial as it calls for the combination of second- and third-grade, and fourth- and fifth-grade classes as well as teacher specialization in either literacy/social studies or STEAM, which stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.
The Think Tank proposal would be implemented gradually beginning next school year, but each of the district's four elementary schools is set to move at its own pace based on teacher readiness, district officials said Saturday.
The majority of parents who attended a forum Saturday have children at Lincoln School, which would be the only location to implement both teacher specialization and grade groupings in full for grades two through five under the district's proposal.
Parents including Bruce Currie said they worry the plan to combine grade levels, especially for the younger second- and third-grade students, has not been developed well enough to be effective next year.
"I definitely feel like my daughter is going to be an experiment at Lincoln, and that worries me," said Currie, whose daughter is in second grade.
While some parents said they thought their students would benefit from combined age classrooms, others said they are unsure children so young will have the social and emotional support they need in such an environment.
School board President Erica Nelson said the social/emotional piece of the plan has been discussed thoroughly and teachers will strive to make sure their students still have a sense of classroom community, even if they spend time in two rooms a day -- one for their literacy/social studies education and the other for STEAM subjects.
The district is looking to change the structure of its elementary education -- but not its curriculum -- under the Think Tank plan to progress toward a 21st century learning environment and prepare students for the new, more rigorous Common Core standards.
"We're not just doing this for the Common Core," board member John Kenwood said Saturday, adding the Think Tank also aims to develop students who will be better prepared for college and careers. "We need to ramp up our standards whether it's the Common Core or not."
Parents including Lora and Dan Bak said the proposal would have more support if it were uniform across Lincoln, Churchill, Forest Glen and Benjamin Franklin schools and if the district explained how staff will transition students into Hadley Junior High after they leave the Think Tank elementary environment.
Parents also asked Saturday if it would be possible to move forward with some aspects of the Think Tank proposal but not others.
Board members said they will be voting on the proposal as a whole, not piece by piece, during a meeting at 7:30 p.m. Monday at Hadley Junior High.

Mitochondria comprise as much as ten percent of the volume of eukaryotic cells. The organelles function chiefly in energy production, but are also involved in a variety of other metabolic functions. The number of mitochondria present in a cell depends largely on the type of the cell and its stage in the cell cycle. Since the organelles possess their own genetic apparatus, mitochondria are self-replicating. The specialized structures have an average lifespan of approximately 10 days.
The mitochondria and filamentous actin present in an EGC cell culture (illustrated above) were targeted with MitoTracker Red CMXRos (red fluorescence) and Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin (green fluorescence), respectively. In addition, the culture was counterstained for DNA with DAPI. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

JERUSALEM — It is that time of the year when things start getting complicated for those of us who are mathematically challenged — when something as simple as setting up an appointment in Bethlehem can take four phone calls and three e-mails to ascertain exactly the time the meeting will be held.
Yes, daylight saving time has ended in the Palestinian territories and no, it is not yet that time of year in Israel, including Palestinian East Jerusalem.
As always, nothing is ever easy here.
The Palestinians changed their clocks at the start of the month and Israel will do so next month just before one of Judaism's holiest days, Yom Kippur. So we get to juggle between what is known as "Palestinian time" and "Jerusalem time." It can't be called "Israeli time" as that would be de facto recognition of Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem.
Question: If a Bethlehem University student finishes his classes at 4 p.m. and leaves at 4:30 p.m. for his home in Jerusalem, what time will he arrive at his front door?
I don't know — I just know that this time it has nothing to do with Israeli checkpoints and border crossings.

Experts seek to reassure Americans about Ebola risk
ATLANTA - The Ebola virus has killed more than 700 people in Africa and health officials say it could have catastrophic consequences if allowed to spread. So why would anyone allow infected Americans to come to Atlanta?
The answer, experts say, is because Emory University Hospital, with its super-secure isolation unit, is one of the safest places in the world to treat someone with Ebola.
Dr. Bruce Ribner, who will be treating two infected Americans there, insists that "nothing comes out of this unit until it is non-infectious."
He also says medical workers risking their lives overseas deserve the best treatment they can get.
Dr. Kent Brantly, who arrived from Africa yesterday, was the first person infected with Ebola to be brought to the United States. Fellow aid worker Nancy Writebol is expected to arrive in several days.
The director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Tom Frieden (FREE'-den), says his agency received "nasty emails" and at least 100 calls from people questioning why the sick aid workers should be let into the country.
He says he understands people's concerns, but he hopes that "fear of the unfamiliar does not trump our compassion" for ailing fellow Americans.

Yipit needed a new stationery design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 122 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
We are about to launch a site devoted to Sales in New York City. Our design and logo are complete and included. We'd really love a completely fresh business card design concept, to help us promote our launch to the shopping and fashion community.
Here's what our homepage will to look like: http://bit.ly/15f8t8
Our big goal is conveying that we are experts in Sales in New York, including restaurant deals, happy hours, coupons, and any other way to save money. We are absolutely fanatical about deals, and are building a community of New Yorkers saving each other money.
One idea was for the back to be a map of manhattan, at a slight diagonal, with a lot of "markers" on the map, indicating locations for current sales. Think on Google Maps how the pins show locations of search results, but our pins are the "sales" tags (please use the sales tag you see in our logo). Here is a sample map: http://www.martinlamm.de/usa/anlage…hattan.jpg though the map you design could obviously be more cartoony or otherwise attractive and have the blue (water) bleed all the way to the edges. Note the coloring limitations of our printer listed below.
That is just one idea for the card, so if you have any other concepts in mind, please feel free to suggest them - we're the owners are are totally willing to take risks with this and discuss in detail.
- 75% Female / 25% Male
- College educated
- 21 – 34 years old
- Household Income: $50k – $120k

swimsuitsforall is dedicated to helping women love their curves. We know that it can be difficult to feel confident at the beach or pool, especially when you have to settle for plus size swimwear that doesn't fit properly or suit your sense of style. That's why we've created an unbeatable selection of swimwear fashions for sizes 4 to 26. Our mission is to provide the perfect swimsuit for every woman, so that trips to the pool and beach vacations can be events that you look forward to and enjoy to the fullest.
Cover ups play an important role in any swimwear ensemble, as they allow you to look fashionable on your way to the water and when you're sunning yourself on the shore or the pool deck. Board shorts are one of the most popular cover up options and add a fun, sporty look to a swimwear outfit. Women's board shorts can be worn with one piece and two piece bathing suits, and if you wish, you can slip on a swim tee or a tunic with board shorts for more coverage.
All women's board shorts tend to have a loose, comfortable fit through the legs and an adjustable drawstring waistline, but there are differences between board shorts. You can find plus size board shorts that are hemmed to fall to the mid-thigh and looks that conceal more of the legs by traveling to the knee. Some board shorts have elastic bands that run all the way along the waist, while others only have elastic in the back for a flat effect in the front.
Your options for plus size board shorts range from solid color styles to board shorts with graphics, contrast stitching and other fashionable features. Board shorts are even available with pockets for stashing your valuables.
Finding it hard to decide which plus sized board shorts will work best for you? Let one of our plus size swimwear experts help you decide! A member of our customer service team can recommend board shorts to match specific swimsuits from our one piece, bikini and tankini swimwear collection or to coordinate with swimsuits that you already own.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsEvents
2014 Shelby GT500 Convertible Crossing Hot August Nights Auction
All Proceeds Benefiting Brain Injury Association of America
Hot August Nights will run from August 2-11, 2013 and one special Shelby Mustang is crossing the auction block with no reserve and for a very important cause. All proceeds from the 2014MY Shelby GT500 Convertible will benefit the Brain Injury Association of America, an organization by Indy 500 winner, Parnelli Jones, who will be present at the auction.
The winner of the Shelby will have their choice of interior, exterior, and stripe color combination offered by Ford making this ride a custom creation. On top of that, Parnelli Jones will sign the Shelby in appreciation of the BIAA donation. "With 662 horsepower, superb handling and a 0-60 time below 4.0 seconds, the Shelby GT500 is already one of the world's greatest muscle cars," says Steve Ling, North America car marketing manager for Ford. "So, while the thrill of owning such a rare and important car is certainly appealing, the owner of this convertible will also help further critical research needed to treat serious brain trauma. We're honored to support Parnelli and the organization's efforts."
"I'd like to thank Ford for assisting the Brain Injury Association of America by donating the Shelby to the Barrett-Jackson auction," says Parnelli Jones.
Jones came into BIAA when his son, Page Jones, a Sprint Car racer, suffered a brain injury during a race in 1994. Page Jones suffered brain and head injuries and his prognosis was grim. With the support of his family, wife, and kids, a good life was recreated for Page and he slowly recovered over the years with years of rehabilitation. An upcoming documentary – GODSPEED: The Story of Page Jones – will tell Page's tale, which will raise awareness to the importance of rehabilitation for those who suffer from a traumatic brain injury.
"I'd like to thank Ford for assisting the Brain Injury Association of America by donating the Shelby to the Barrett-Jackson auction," says Parnelli Jones. "Certainly this is a cause that's been overlooked and we hope others can benefit from the charity's work and learn through my son, Page's, experience."
"The Brain Injury Association of America is very excited about this opportunity to create both an educational and fundraising opportunity," says Susan H. Connors, president and CEO of the BIAA. "Parnelli and Page are some of our strongest voices in our advocacy efforts, and we're delighted to work together along with Ford and Barrett-Jackson for the sale of the Shelby."
During the festivities at Hot August Nights, Ford will celebrate America's love for cars and rock and roll. Hot laps and Ride-and-Drive will be offered in the parking lot of the Atlantis Casino Resort. Ride-and-Drive will include Ford's stable of hot rides – Explorer, Focus, and Mustang. Ford enthusiasts will get their fix while running hot laps in a Shelby GT500, Focus ST, and Fiesta ST. Ford is giving Ride-and-Drive participants day passes to enjoy the Hot August Nights auction put on by Barrett-Jackson. Lastly, Ford will showcase their vehicles on Friday, August 9th, at the Reno to Sparks cruise-in.

Jose Mourinho has spent recent weeks talking up Manchester City as Barclays Premier League title favourites, but now the self-proclaimed Special One believes it is 'game on' for his Chelsea side.
Chelsea play Southampton on Wednesday after finishing 2013 in third place, two points behind leaders Arsenal and one behind City.
Merely being in contention is an improvement on recent seasons for Chelsea, who have won one Premier League title since Mourinho's first spell as boss ended in September 2007, when Carlo Ancelotti led the Blues to the double in 2009/10.
Mourinho, who guided Chelsea to successive titles in 2004/05 and 2005/06, said: "Last year in this moment we were 12 or 11 points behind the leader, so game over.
"In this moment we are two points behind, so game on. Let's keep going."
Mourinho is a fine exponent of the mind games which Sir Alex Ferguson enjoyed playing as Manchester United boss and again talked up 2012 champions City after beating Liverpool.
He added: "Do you think I'm putting pressure (on City)? You think I'm capable of it?
"See the squad, see the players, the number of goals, the strikers.
"(Edin) Dzeko is the third striker of Man City. Dzeko.
"(Stevan) Jovetic, the fourth."
The mention of Dzeko and then Jovetic was followed by a resigned exclamation at City's resources before Mourinho insisted Manuel Pellegrini's side are fully aware of their talent and potential.
Mourinho added: "I think they know how good they are and I think they know they are the favourites. I don't think they feel any pressure."
Chelsea are hardly the poor relations in the Premier League, but while Mourinho looks enviously at other striking resources, he insists the Blues have no plans to bolster the forward ranks during the winter transfer window.
Chelsea's strikers have six Premier League goals between them this season - Samuel Eto'o (three), Fernando Torres (two) and Demba Ba (one) - compared to 19 for Liverpool's Luis Suarez and 13 for Sergio Aguero of Manchester City.
"I'm happy with them," Mourinho said.
"I keep saying that they are not this profile of player that scores every weekend and scores 20, 25, 30 goals in a season.
"But they are giving everything they have and I am happy with them. No new strikers in January, because we trust these guys and we go with them."
If Chelsea had a Suarez or Aguero, some commentators argue they would be clear at the top of the standings.
But, for now, Mourinho says Chelsea must target a place in the top four and Champions League qualification and then see where it takes them.
He added: "This season the top four will be a big achievement for everyone.
"The difference between the top four and being champion, it looks like it's not a big difference, so I think the first objective for everyone is to attack the top four.
"And if we can protect the top four, let's see what we can do and let's see if Man City kills everybody or if they keep being close to all of us."
Mourinho maintains there are still six sides vying for the title - and Chelsea are yet to be beaten by any of them.
At Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea have won nine and drawn one of their 10 games - a home record only bettered by Manchester City's at the Etihad Stadium - Mourinho's men have beaten City and Liverpool.
Draws have been picked up at Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal.
United are sixth, six points behind Arsenal, after a recent resurgence, while Tottenham are seventh, behind the defending champions on goal difference.
"I think the six are (still) there," Mourinho added.
"Of course, Everton and Newcastle are close to the top four, but I think Tottenham and Man United are ready to attack the top four.
"When they (United) were 10, 15 points behind and losing at home, I was saying Man United are Man United. Tradition plays a big part, so Man United is there ready to jump into the top four and to give a fight to everyone."
Southampton were in the top four earlier this season in a surprise rise under Mauricio Pochettino.
Chelsea suffered a fright against Saints on December 1, conceding a goal after 13 seconds, before winning 3-1 and Mourinho knows his side have to be on their guard at St Mary's Stadium in a match made more difficult due to injuries to Frank Lampard and Branislav Ivanovic.
"Another good team," Mourinho said.
"At Southampton, especially, I think they feel very comfortable. So (a) very difficult match."

Did photobucket actually make the conscious decision to become the worst?
see if this link works?http://s61.photobucket.com/user/rattiluv/media/Unnamed%20Rats/Miracle%20and%20Co%20Nov%2011%2015/Dec%2019%2015%20Pele%20eating%20noodles.mp4.html
One of the things I love about rats is their zest for life. They take obstacles in their stride and don't let them get in the way. Pele was a supreme example of that. She overcame all the damage to have a great life, and her loving spirit always showed through. She was a great example for me, especially during all the stuff I went through during the last eighteen months, so I'm very grateful that you shared her story with us. These little creatures can have such an effect on the world, despite their small size.

I wouldn't say the day started great; last night I didn't get to sleep until maybe 3am; one of those nights where you get anxious about things, including the need to get to sleep so you can get up early and ride, and you just have to kind of lie there until you finally konk out. You know the drill; you start to rationalize that there really isn't that much difference between just lying there with your eyes closed and actually sleeping. But doesn't matter; I've been through this before, and getting up when you're supposed to and riding somehow seems to reset your clock and you end up feeling a whole lot better than you should.
It was Thursday so up through the Park; nothing fast today (thankfully) but I did get ahead of some, even ahead of Kevin for about 3/4 of the climb until he started picking up speed and past me within sight of the top.
The top. Oh my was it beautiful up on Skyline! The fog was just above the road, up in the trees, and the sun was coming through at exactly the right angle to create rays of light for almost the entire distance along Skyline. And no pictures to show it, because the video camera on my bike (my not-so-faithful Hero2) decided it didn't want to record. All I've got is an Instagram photo I took at the top of Kings, and that was primarily to show that I wasn't the last one reaching the top.

Q: I bought an older Mooney with a Lycoming IO-360 with Bendix fuel servo. The engine starts to run rough once the last 1/2 inch of throttle is given. An induction leak cannot be located. Would a faulty sniffle valve be to blame? Any other possibilities?
A: Jamie, with regard to your older Mooney and the engine roughness when the last half inch of throttle is applied, I'd be suspicious of a partially plugged fuel nozzle.
I'm not certain if the older Mooneys had a fuel flow gauge or not, but if you were to have a partially plugged nozzle, it should show up on the gauge as an excessively high fuel flow at full throttle.
This is a result of the fuel servo unit allocating four cylinders worth of fuel — which is what's be being called for at full throttle — being sent to the flow divider on top of the engine. The flow divider's job is to simply distribute that fuel to the cylinders equally.
However, when one cylinder has a partially plugged or blocked nozzle, then either a reduced flow or no flow goes to the cylinder that is having a problem. This is normally noticed by a higher fuel flow on the gauge because the fuel that's not able to go to the cylinder with the problem will now go to the three remaining cylinders, causing a rich condition in those cylinders.
What I'm trying to say is the other three cylinders are actually receiving four cylinders worth of fuel, which could cause some engine roughness and unusually high fuel flow.
There are other problems of a more serious nature that could come into play if this is what is actually occurring. The cylinder that is not getting the proper amount of fuel could possibly experience a failure. With insufficient fuel to a cylinder with a partially plugged fuel nozzle, the end result could be a burned piston. Should that occur, then the possibility of metal contamination throughout the engine is possible.
I'd suggest you do some simple troubleshooting before you decide to give up on this poor old Mooney. Let's do a flow check on each fuel nozzle, which doesn't take long and may give us a lot of information.
Remove the top cowling and disconnect each fuel line at each fuel nozzle. Then remove each nozzle from the cylinder. If they are the newer type two-piece nozzle, make certain you don't lose the insert. Reconnect each nozzle to its original fuel line. By bending the fuel line and nozzle assembly slightly, place each nozzle in a clean small container like a baby food jar.
The object is to observe the fuel flow from each nozzle so the container should be positioned so it can receive the fuel without spilling any. The test can be conducted by turning on the master switch, with throttle and mixture full forward, and then turn the aircraft boost pump on. You should then observe the nozzle spray pattern on each cylinder as it flows into the container. The spray pattern should be a nice pencil-point stream and not a wiggly air bubbly type spray. If the latter is observed, that nozzle may need to be replaced.
After 30 to 45 seconds you may bring the mixture control back to idle cut-off position and close the throttle and turn the boost pump off. It's ideal to take all of the fuel containers and place them on a level surface and hopefully you should see the same quantity of fuel in each container. If each container has the same amount of fuel, then all of the nozzles are functioning correctly. Should the quantities be different with one nozzle showing a lesser amount of fuel than the others, then this is the nozzle that has been causing the problem and will either need to be cleaned or replaced.
I'd try cleaning it first by blowing clean shop air through the nozzle in the direction the fuel flows and reflowing it with the others. Use caution here if you have the newer style two-piece nozzle and be certain to keep the two pieces together, but blow each piece with the clean shop air. You may also clean the nozzles with a good cleaning solvent. I prefer to use Hoppes No. 9 gun cleaning solvent. Again, if you have the two-piece nozzles, keep the two pieces together because they are a matched set. In other words, just don't throw all the pieces in the Hoppes together for cleaning. DO NOT use a piece of safety wire or any other solid object to clean the nozzle.
You mentioned the sniffle valve, so let's think about that. If the sniffle valve is allowing an induction leak, then I'd expect to see a higher manifold pressure at engine idle of 600 to 800 rpm. Typically, on a normally aspirated engine, the manifold pressure in that idle range would be about 10 inches. If you have an induction leak, then I'd expect to see a slightly higher manifold pressure of 12 inches or higher.
Just for the heck of it, with the engine at normal operating temperature and at idle, pull the mixture into the idle cut-off position and watch the rpm. If the engine has an induction leak, you probably will not see a 25 to 50 rpm rise just prior to the engine quitting, which may indicate a lean mixture as a result of an induction leak. If the fuel system and induction system are working as they should, I'd expect to see that slight rpm rise just prior to shut-down.
Jamie, I hope this gives you a couple of things to check and hopefully discover where the problem lies. I don't think it's anything too serious, but I'd check into it as soon as possible.

FPS based on the comic book series. Battle through 11 chapters to stop the forces of Judge Death. Features a two-player story mode and a four-player versus mode.
We've waited for this ever since Anthrax rocked "I Am The Law" back in, like, 1987. "This," of course, is full-on game treatment of Judge Dredd, 2000AD's hard-headed lawgiver, who dispenses justice like a Pez Charlie Brown spits out candied angst. Dredd's been given the digital business before, of course, in such storied outings as Acclaim's craptacular Genesis release. But it's taken him years to hit the shooter scene, and the Rebellion-developed Judge Dredd: Dredd Versus Death is aiming to bring justice to millions. Read More »
