Taste and TextureCreamy, Crisp, Crunchy, Fruity, Nutty, Sweet, Tart
Type of DishDessert, Frozen Dessert, Ice Cream
- One 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 large egg yolks
- ½ cup (4 ounces/113 grams) whole milk
- 1½ cups (12 ounces/339 grams) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons dark rum
- ½ cup (2 3/8 ounces/68 grams) golden raisins soaked overnight in 3 tablespoons rum
To make the ice cream: Put the ginger, sugar, salt, and 1 cup water in a small saucepan, stir well, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes syrupy and very thick, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Whisk the egg yolks in a medium mixing bowl until broken; set aside. Put the milk and 1 cup of the cream in a medium saucepan and warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbles begin to form around the edges. Remove from the heat and pour ½ cup of the warm milk mixture onto the yolks in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly. Transfer the yolk mixture back to the saucepan. Set over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon and registers 165°F, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until the butter melts.
Strain the cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large mixing bowl and stir in the remaining ½ cup cream and rum. Strain the ginger syrup into the same bowl, pressing on the ginger to extract as much liquid as possible. Set over a larger bowl of ice and water and stir occasionally until cold to the touch, about 40 degrees F. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate until cold.
Transfer the mixture to your ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions. After churning, stir in the raisins and transfer to a freezer container. The ice cream will be soft when just churned but will firm up in the freezer. It is best fresh, but it will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days.

Lord & Taylor will now offer shoppers deals and personalized content through an in-store mobile app.
Swirl, an in-store beacon marketing platform, will be used by the HBC Department Store Group throughout the United States and Canada.
The brand will soon begin to install the beacon technology in merchandising areas in both free-standing and select Hudson's Bay and Lord & Taylor stores throughout the United States. For shoppers, branded content and personalized offers will automatically be delivered to their smartphones through apps.
The Swirl platform leverages Bluetooth Smart and Apple's iBeacon technology to deliver targeted content and offers to consumers based on their specific location and behavior at that particular store. By using Swirl across various shopping apps, the HBC Group will be able to deliver mobile experiences to customers who opt in.
The integration comes at a time when using smartphones to enhance shopping experiences is quickly becoming a must-have for retailers.
"We recognize the appetite for mobile experiences that cater to our customers' immediate needs and preferences while also providing a seamless and effortless experience," said Michael Crotty, executive VP and CMO, Hudson's Bay Company. "Beacon technology is the future of retail marketing and Swirl's platform will assist us to make every visit to Hudson's Bay or Lord & Taylor even more rewarding for our customers."
"With this new capability, Hudson's Bay and Lord & Taylor are taking their reputation for quality and customer service to the next level," said Hilmi Ozguc, founder and CEO of Swirl. "We are proud to be working with one of North America's premier retailers to reinvent the in-store shopping experience with the latest mobile marketing technology. This multi-category, multi-floor beacon deployment represents the most ambitious application of beacon marketing in the retail industry to date."
Just last week, Lord & Taylor announced the launch of two new concept shops. The new in-store shops and the installation of the new beacon technology are both part of an expansion in the parent company's digital technology initiatives.

Mission specialists continue to troubleshoot an issue with the Hubble Space Telescope that caused it to enter into a protective safe mode late last month.
Hubble automatically entered into safe mode on October 25 after a batch of synchronization messages got lost. NASA says the space telescope is otherwise fine and that Hubble's science instruments remain healthy, but normal science operations had to cease as a result of the anomaly. Without these synch messages, Hubble's instruments can't accurately respond to data requests and commands. That's obviously not ideal for a precision instrument that orbits Earth at speeds approaching 17,000 miles per hour (27,400 km/hr).
Mission team members are in full-on troubleshooting mode, as they attempt to source the problem on hardware responsible for commanding Hubble's instruments, according to a NASA update. In particular, they've got their eyes on the Control Unit circuitry, which churns out the synchronization messages and communicates them to Hubble's instruments.
Team specialists are also on the hunt for effective workarounds. They've floated the idea of altering instrument flight software such that it can compensate for the lost synch messages and in the process not have the telescope thrown back into safe mode. Any proposed workaround would be tested on ground simulators to make sure the idea actually works.
NASA has also been tinkering with Hubble to assist with the troubleshooting. On Monday, November 1, NASA turned on Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) instrument. With NICMOS active, the team is able to gather more data, including a potential frequency measure of the glitch. NICMOS was no longer needed once Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 became available, and it's been inactive for the past 11 years. With NICMOS now switched on, the team has a nonessential instrument to track lost messages—and not at the expense of having to put Hubble's principal tools at risk. No synch messages have been lost since NICMOS was turned on, according to NASA.

This 34" curved monitor gives you a super wide 21:9 aspect ratio of workspace with a 1440p resolution. With support for HDR 10, you can achieve brilliant color performance ideal for photographers, graphic designers, and more.
Progress might happen soon, as Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) instrument could begin science observations early next week. NASA will make a decision about this on Sunday after a review of the most recent data. ACS was chosen as the first instrument to come back online because it's least affected by lost synch messages, but NASA cautions that any lost synch messages between now and early next week could have a bearing on this decision. Specialists are "proceeding cautiously to ensure the safety of the instruments and avoid additional stresses on the hardware," NASA said. "Therefore, only ACS will be used in this capacity next week."
Regardless, analysis of the Control Unit will continue, as the team continues to source the cause of the anomaly. And as noted, they'll continue to ruminate over those potential software changes. Only once the team understands the frequency of the glitch and develops a timeline for the software rollouts can NASA formulate a plan to return all other instruments to science operations.
If precedence means anything, we probably shouldn't be worried. Hubble is the proverbial cat with nine lives, having returned from safe mode many times before, most recently this past March. All things being equal, Hubble should remain operational for the duration of the 2020s and perhps even into the 2030s.

Many recent studies say that chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is good for you. I agree.
However in the past I was a chocoholic to the degree that I used my credit card to purchase it on the way home from work. Of course, I couldn't just buy one thing so I began running up debt by adding things I didn't really need just to justify the purchase of the real fix.
Now when I say I was a chocoholic, understand how extreme my addiction was. A teacher at the time with my class selling chocolate covered almonds I was eating up to 3 boxes a day to support my habit and in the process draining myself financially yet again. I had also gained 20 pounds.
As it progressed, I found myself eating really bad tasting chocolate just to get my fix and try to save money. I knew then that I needed to stop. I was starting to get migraines when I ate it and when I tried to withdraw from it. I became comatose after each binge. It was really getting out of hand. I knew I had to go cold turkey and was scared to death!
It was at that time that I was gifted with the development of my creative outlet, called Art from the Heart Adventures©. It not only replaced my addiction by putting me into an active meditation before I left for work and came home from work, during commercials, and whenever I got the urge. Through this colouring process I began to discover where the empty void calling out for chocolate came from.
When I was a child after losing my father my mom had to raise 3 of us on a very small widower's pension. Once a month she had a friend take her shopping at the Towers. Each time she purchased one of those chunky chocolate bar pieces just for her. Occasionally, when she felt like sharing, we got one square. This became symbolic of how my mother handed out her love at that time, in small unexpected doses. Chocolate equaled love to me.
It then became clear that this addiction had taken over now, when I had decided to end my marriage and was already feeling the loss of love.
This craving still surfaces with one difference. I am now empowered enough to choose whether I will allow myself to succumb for a short period of time without guilt or simply distract myself by doing a heartwork instead. In practicing this process of self-love (taking time for myself), the void is filled. So, if I start to indulge on a daily basis I know it is definitely time to get out my markers!
Yes sometimes we crave because we are in need of the nutrients that may be missing in our diet. However if this is not the case it may be time you looked at your craving from another view.

THE PARTY OF 'ORGANIZED VANDALISM'…. I don't intend to belabor the point too much more, but I've been encouraged this week by the broader discussion after my "sabotage" post from Saturday.
To briefly recap, I'd noticed some commentary of late suggesting an uncomfortable point about congressional Republicans: they may be tempted to keep the economy down on purpose to advance partisan goals. Matt Yglesias, for example, said the Obama White House should be prepared for "deliberate economic sabotage" from the GOP.
I made the case that this is worthy of discussion, which hasn't gone over well with conservatives (Michael Gerson thinks I'm an "idiot"), but which nevertheless generated some noteworthy coverage at outlets such as The Week and The Atlantic.
Paul Krugman's NYT column emphasized a related point yesterday, insisting that the Republican Party "isn't interested in helping the economy as long as a Democrat is in the White House." But similar arguments keep popping up. Here's an Andrew Sullivan item from the other day:
The ghastly truth is that we have one political party that is as close to organized vandalism as one can imagine. START, the debt ceiling, civil rights, real spending cuts and tax reform: all these will be subject to the pure nihilism of the will to power. Their goal is the destruction of Obama. That is all.
And here's Adam Serwer this morning:
[Congressional Republicans] use what power they have to prevent government from performing basic duties at any level of efficiency, and then turn around and argue that this reflects a failure of leadership on the part of the president. The pursuit of political power is more important to the party than civic responsibility. It's a testament to the power of low expectations that this hasn't produced more of an outrage, especially since they aren't even pretending otherwise.
It's interesting, in and of itself, that this sentiment has become fairly common. We are, after all, talking about prominent observers wondering aloud whether a major political party is putting its partisan hatred for an elected president ahead of the public good. There was a time such a suggestion was scandalous; now it's widespread enough to appear in a Nobel Laureate's print column in the paper of record.
For a slightly different angle, it's also worth considering Greg Sargent's take on this yesterday:
…I happen to think the "economic sabotage" argument is not going to work. Dems tried variations of this case for two years, and there's no evidence they bore any fruit. I just don't think voters will buy it, or if they do, they won't particularly care about it.
Also: At a certain point there's little percentage in making variations of the same old lament again and again that Republicans are out to defeat Obama politically at all costs and that it's folly for Obama to keep seeking bipartisan compromise. It seems like the better argument to be having at this point is over what Obama specifically should do to adjust to this new reality.
That seems fair, though I'd add that it's worth having the "sabotage" conversation, if for no other reason, than to make clear to the White House what it should expect from the president's partisan rivals.

Determining steps to start a discussion having a online dating sites match could be tricky, but relating to a study because of the dating application Hinge, some opening lines are far better than others. Unsurprisingly, the outcome revealed that the classic but bland "Hey, what's up?" wasn't a fruitful way to get a possible match to react. If you're actually hoping to get in touch with somebody within the on line dating world, decide to try one of these brilliant lines rather.
You'd be considered a fineapple."If you had been a fresh fruit,"
okay, it doesn't need to be this exact corny pickup line, but yes, corny pickup lines are a definite good notion. They reveal which you don't just simply take your self too seriously and they invite the other individual to demonstrate down their feeling of humor too. Bonus points when you can personalize your punny line making use of the person's name or other personal statistics on the profile — it reveals that you've compensated attention and also haven't been throwing out of the exact same opener to twenty individuals.
"Aliens: genuine or nah?"
Little talk is boring, right? Diving straight into a yes-or-no question that asks about someone's views regarding the world is a way that is easy get a discussion (as well as perhaps also an agreeable debate) going. Steer clear of such a thing related to faith or politics for the opener — until you have zero desire for talking to somebody who leans differently than you do — and stick to enjoyable subjects which will have the gears switching within their brain.
"Your taste in cars is 10/10."
Starting having a praise is a superb solution to make somebody feel well it has to be done right about themselves, but. Generic responses like "You have actually pretty eyes" or "Wow, you're hot" might be put on anybody, and they're perhaps not likely to allow you to stand out from the audience. Alternatively, consider one thing unique in regards to the person's profile and become truthful — in the event that you don't like their flamingo board shorts, don't lie and state you are doing until you would like them arriving to your very first date using them.
"Two truths and a lie. Prepared? Go!"
The Hinge study unveiled that this is the absolute most popular opening line, with users finding a 31% escalation in reactions once they tried it. It's a good idea: the line is enjoyable and unique, it lets you become familiar with more info on the person you're talking to, plus it allows the respondent to choose just how individual they wish to get. Plus, you two can return back and forth for for as long as you need until certainly one of you is able to dive into "normal" discussion.
"Want to seize meal this week?"
This appears pretty ahead, but you want to go for — a whopping 98% of men were more likely to respond to assertive messages if you're messaging a guy, that direct vibe is exactly what. Men face lots of societal stress to generally be the main one making the very first move, therefore if you're the only not just giving the very first message but additionally asking them down from the comfort of the get-go, you're going to face call at the most effective way possible.
"Waffles or pancakes ukrainian bride?"
A fact that may shock no-one is the fact that females love speaking about meals. The Hinge survey reports that ladies had been 40percent prone to react to communications that raised meals, and asking a "would you rather" concern like this is an excellent option to get somebody speaing frankly about whatever they love while maintaining things light and enjoyable. And don't simply limit this line to ladies, either — speaking about meals is a great method to pique a man's interest also.
"If you had been a glass or two, exactly what can you be?"
Tilting regarding the food concept again, this opener takes the novelty of time-wasting internet quizzes and places it into action. Not only can the response to a concern such as this supply you with understanding of just just just what beverage to purchase for the date it also lets you see how they view themselves: Are they sweet but powerful, like bottomless mimosas if you two do go out, but? Will they be cool and old-fashioned just like an alcohol? You'll can't say for sure until you ask.
"What had been your favorite thing you did in Guatemala?"
A differnt one that says "Yes, i did so read your profile," this indicates that you're interested when you look at the things your prospective date has been doing within their life time. Plus, it is an open-ended concern that can ask more conversation. Travel is one thing that will actually bring a couple together, so swapping experiences and asking about each other's favorite locations is just a way that is good keep consitently the discussion moving.
"What would your perfect holiday be?"
Swap out the phrase "vacation" for other things you'd wish to know, they enjoy doing on Saturday nights, lazy Sunday mornings, or on a first date whether you want to hear about what. This is certainly another concern that can't be answered with a straightforward yes or no, and when things get well if you happen to be together for whatever situation the question discusses between you two, it can give you ideas to impress them.
"Do you find first messages as embarrassing when I do?"
Often, it is far better to skip the bravado and you need to be truthful. Online dating sites can be strange, and calling it for just what it really is may be refreshing to some body who's obtaining the same variety of communications every single day. Some individuals will make the over-confident mindset work if you're not that type, it's better to just let your human side show right from the start for them, but.

#41 — The Martian (Ridley Scott, 2015)
An earnestly ambitious actor, Damon is at his best when he hews closely to his established public persona, that of a mildly doltish yet laudably competent individual. That's why he was so well-suited to playing Jason Bourne. He's one of the few performers who can execute a highly complex series of movements and then looking convincingly flabbergasted at what he's just accomplished. The studio system, much-maligned and justly discarded (though Marvel Studios comes remarkably close to reviving the model), would have actually suited Damon well, as filmmakers took turns plugging him into projects that suited his mildly self-effacing movie star glow. Howard Hawks would have had a field day with him.
The Martian, directed by Ridley Scott, draws a lot of its strength from proper exploitation of Damon's gifts. He's hardly the one person giving a strong performance in the film. The cast is a like a Muderers' Row of crafty, likable actors — Jessica Chastain, Jeff Daniels, Donald Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, and Sean Bean as the head of the impressive pack — and they all do especially deft work with complicated material often laden with exposition. But Damon, played marooned astronaut Mark Watney, is the slugger the lineup is built around. Navigating the near-impossible task of surviving after he's left behind on Mars when the mission he's a part of is forced to undertake an emergency evacuation. A botanist by schooling, Watney manages a small-scale terraforming of the distant planet and cobbles together other stray materials into shelter and communication tools. The character is full to the brim with a white, American male's unique brand of entitled assurance that seemingly insurmountable setbacks aren't really meant for him. Maybe Damon's most remarkable feat is that he makes that fairly odious quality improbably winning, even charismatic.
Like Apollo 13 a generation earlier, The Martian sparks and sparkles because it's about intelligent people solving problems together, with personality skirmishes and politically minded jockeying as obstacles that opposing factions clear together rather than tar that seeps in cause the work to grind to a halt. Using a sharp script by Drew Goddard (adapted from Andy Weir's novel of the same name), director Ridley Scott moves the film along briskly and crisply. Just like the figures on screen, the veteran filmmaker is energized by the challenges before him, chiefly managing several interweaving story lines and making the implausible feel as real as sturdy pavement. The movie moves between tones as if it's the simplest test of cinema, swinging from the dangling tropes of science fiction, thrillers, melodrama, and comedy like a confident acrobat. Like the film's hero, and the actor who portrays him, Scott draws upon deep reservoirs of resourcefulness and emerges with an unlikely triumph.

Blinken to hold talks in Paris after subs row
Issued on: Modified:
Washington (AFP) –
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will hold talks in Paris next week in a new bid to ease tensions after French anger over a submarine contract, the State Department announced Friday.
Blinken will travel to Paris from Monday through Wednesday for a meeting of the OECD club of advanced market economies and also meet French officials on "further strengthening the vital US-France relationship," spokesman Ned Price said.
Blinken and his French counterparts will discuss issues including "security in the Indo-Pacific region, the climate crisis, economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, the transatlantic relationship and working with our allies and partners to address global challenges and opportunities," Price said in a statement.
Blinken will then fly from Paris to Mexico City for his first trip to the neighboring country as the top US diplomat, a trip already announced by the Mexican government.
France was infuriated last month when Australia canceled a multibillion-dollar deal for French submarines, saying it would pursue US nuclear versions as tensions rise with China.
France accused the United States of betrayal and Australia of back-stabbing and briefly withdrew its ambassador from Washington as a protest.
Tensions began to ease when President Joe Biden spoke by telephone with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron and acknowledged that the United States could have communicated better with its longtime ally.
Blinken had already been planning to visit for the 60th anniversary of the Paris-based Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
He will co-chair an OECD ministerial that will look at promoting a green economy, a month before high-stakes UN climate talks in Glasgow.

Compared to what we have seen with the other cultures we have studied its as if the role of the women has become equal if not more respected in the art work. For example int eh Cerveteri Sarcophagus it is a sculpture of a husband an wife lounging on a a dinning couch. The wife is leaning against her husband and you can instantly see the happiness on both their faces and their hair is well done. As you step back and look closer at the wife you can see that she is well dressed and has nice pointed shoes on which helps depict the fashion of the women in the Etruscan time period. Where as when you gave upon the husband you see he is barefoot and has what looks like he has clothing that may not be as elegant as his wife's. It also shows that he is barefoot, I think this shows some symbolic meaning of how much he cherished his wife and wanted the best he could give her in my opinion.

For our fourth post in our Caregiver Month Blog Series, we are proud to present a post by Trish Hughes Kreis. Many caregivers don't even know they are caregivers. Self-identifying can be the first step in getting the support you need. Thanks to Trish for this post, and thanks to Caregiver Cafe (http://www.caregivingcafe.com/blog/) for sharing with us!
What is a Caregiver?
by Trish Hughes Kreis
For many years I did not realize I was a caregiver and have met many other caregivers who felt the same way.
I thought I wasn't a caregiver because I didn't care for Robert one hundred percent of the time. In my mind, I was not a caregiver because Robert could do many things on his own. I was not a caregiver because others who really, truly are caregivers have much more to do than what I do.
It was surprising to me to learn that these other "real caregivers" felt they were not caregivers either. They were just helping friends or family who needed help.
That's when I realized: caregiving comes in all forms and, yes, we are all caregivers.
More importantly, caregiving is not a competition. It doesn't matter the amount we do compared to someone else!
I am a caregiver for my brother Robert who has lived with uncontrolled epilepsy his entire life. He was able to live independently with his companion for many years and our family checked on him and helped him with his finances.
However, six years ago, it became apparent that he was unable to safely live on his own. Robert's uncontrolled seizures, brain surgeries, anti-epilepsy medications and head trauma have taken a toll on his cognitive and physical abilities and there has been a significant decline in the last few years, even since taking over his care.
I did not know what I was getting into when I first started caregiving for Robert. Robert lived ninety minutes away from me so at first, I just regularly called to check on him. It quickly progressed to taking him to doctor appointments while he still lived at home and making calls to see if he qualified for in-home care. I hired a housekeeper to keep his and his companion's house clean only to learn from the housekeeper that they subsisted on long-expired food.
During this time, Robert developed a life-threatening infection from the Deep Brain Stimulator that he had implanted (he was in a study through his neurologist to see if this would help control his seizures). I moved him to a Skilled Nursing Facility near me. After a few stops in a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (he was there under an exemption for those under 65 years of age), and a Board and Care home, Robert now lives with me and my husband.
When Robert moved to the SNF and I took over his care, I was quite overwhelmed. Robert's insurance is paid through Medicare and Medicaid and he receives Social Security benefits because of his disability. While I muddled through the maze of these and other social programs, one of my first lessons was to be persistent and not give up.
Once I got past the overwhelmed stage, I realized there was information and resources I wanted to share with other caregivers so I started a blog (RobertsSister.com) about caring for Robert. There are millions of caregivers providing care to friends and family and there is no reason for each of us to go through this experience alone or to start learning everything from scratch.
My most important lessons I have learned so far are (in no particular order):
1. Connect with others. This site (CaregivingCafe.com) has resources and links to information for caregivers. Lynn Greenblatt was one of the first people to help me as a caregiver when I was trying to re-home a power wheelchair. I will not forget her kindness and responsiveness to my questions. CareGiving.com is another website that is has one of the most supportive community of caregivers I have found. Denise Brown runs an educational and supportive website for caregivers to learn, share and connect.
2. Do not give up. We hear the word "no" a lot when advocating for our caree. Do not let that be a deterrent. Be creative when searching for answers – sometimes asking questions (or asking questions in a different way) can lead to "yes."
3. Educate yourself. The more you know about your caree and their disease, disability or disorder, the more informed questions you will be able to ask which will lead to keeping your caree as healthy and happy as possible.
4. Take care of yourself. Easy for me to say! Caregivers always hear this and it can be annoying when it seems impossible to even take a five minute break. Even if a break or respite is not possible, go easy on yourself. Remind yourself that tomorrow will be a new day. Be kind to YOU. That is the best self-care you can give yourself. Remember, we are all doing the best we can!
Caregiving is difficult (and some days seems impossible) but this experience has given me great satisfaction and allowed me opportunities to meet terrific, caring people.
I wouldn't have it any other way.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21: Tyra Stovell is living up to our potential. It's easy to see why when track is such a part of her and being greatly influenced by her father Marvin Stovell, who established records when he was a schoolboy.
The younger Stovell is preparing to bring her A game when Bermuda hosts Carifta in 2012. She spoke to Don Burgess about her sport.
What was your first Carifta experience like?
The whole atmosphere was intense. I was nervous and it felt like everyone was watching me because there were so many people there, but overall it was pretty good.
What does it mean to you to have Bermuda host Carifta in 2012?
To have Carifta in Bermuda next year means it's time to get serious about it. We need to make sure we're on our A Game so we don't get beaten on our home turf.
What will it mean to have friends and family watch you run?
It means so much to me because there will be more support. If I do my best they will be there supporting me. Even if I don't they will still support me.
How did you get involved in track?
Ever since I was little, I've always been involved in running — that's my thing. But when I was away in Atlanta, I was enrolled in my first track club. When I came back, track just became a part of who I am.
What was your first big win?
When I was in my last year in M3, I was part of the Under-15 girls relay team won both the 4x400 and the 4x100 in the Relay Classics. We found out later that our school, TN Tatem won the Relay Classic event.
What do you want to do with your track ability?
I do enjoy doing track and field, but I do have other dreams. I hope to carry on doing track through the end of high school, but when I get to college I'm going to focus more on my academics.
What do you want to be after college?
I want to be an entrepreneur. I want to own a business that combines all my likes: food, athletics, music and art.
What's the best piece of running advice you ever received?
My dad Ωtold me Don't focus on whom I'm running against, but focus on beating my times. For me to keep looking ahead and not looking to side-to-side or panicking. Just let my adrenaline be my power source. He's always talking to me about how to channel everything and to be better.
Is there any good friendships you've developed through the sport?
Everybody on my track team and with Victoria Clarke and Tahira Butterfield from X Factor.

A different flavour of winter
The nights may be getting darker as the clocks go back, but we at Investment Quorum are looking forward. As we enter the final few months of 2020, we don't just have the usual winter flu season to contend with: this year we can add a second wave of Covid-19 into the mix, most likely resulting in some more than moderately volatile market conditions. But disruption, the implementation of thematic strategies and most importantly sustainability are all creating some excellent investment opportunities in our ever-changing world. Indeed, sustainability will most likely be a significant factor affecting investment strategies and decisions for decades to come. So, what comes next? Nobody really knows. But we believe that our lives are about to be governed by a series of "V" words, and this might provide us with a possible investment roadmap.
Don't knock volatility
Firstly, there is "V" for volatility. This will continue throughout 2021 as the global economy begins its uphill struggle to recovery. Factors such as the US presidential election, Brexit and a second (or even third) wave of Covid will catapult the financial markets off on a veritable rollercoaster ride. But this will create interesting opportunities for investors able to take advantage of them.
In the short term, there are certainly reasons to be positive. We are in the midst of the corporate earnings season, which is certain to prove fruitful. Indeed, Tesla shares jumped 5% after reporting their fifth consecutive quarter of profits. Moreover, consumer staples shares have reported strong Q4 numbers. Proctor & Gamble beat estimates on Tuesday, reporting a 9% jump in sales, confirming that a "technology and toothpaste" strategy is still a sensible one to follow.
With Christmas just around the corner, there is also the prospect of a "Santa Claus Rally". This is usually characterised by general feelings of optimism on Wall Street against a backdrop of holiday bonuses being invested – something which has boosted the stock market in the past. According to the Stock Trader's Almanac, since 1974 the Santa Claus Rally has yielded positive returns in 34 of the past 45 holiday seasons – the last five trading days of the year, followed by the first two trading days after New Year's. Nevertheless, we live in a world devoid of guarantees and this may simply be a market anomaly.
One day, my vaccine will come
Secondly, there is "V" for a vaccine. If a successful one were announced, the market would most likely be inundated by a plethora of buyers (people who have been sitting on the sidelines throughout this crisis, too scared to invest). We have recently seen one of the fastest stock market rallies in history, but many nervous investors missed out. Covid-19 vaccine trials have been progressing well, with a number of leading pharmaceutical companies having already announced some promising results.
While the eyes of the markets remain on Congress as stimulus negotiations for a second round of checks continue, there is every chance that it could be somebody like Pascal Soriot (CEO of AstraZeneca) or Stephane Bancel (CEO of Moderna) who will deliver the biggest market stimulus in the shape of a vaccine. Although a successful global vaccine is unlikely to be available until 2021, when one does come, it will be a game changer. Indeed, hopes in relation to vaccine development represent one of the many "icebergs" around which investors will be navigating in the coming months. We cannot see what is under water, nor what is on the other side. But we remain steadfast in our commitment to picking the most innovative and forward-looking businesses… those that are spearheading the themes characterising our changing world.
Value at last?
Thirdly, "V" for "Value". Value could finally have its day, following a number of years during which growth stocks have been very generous. That is not to say that growth will now fail. On the contrary – it is simply that valuations are now looking more attractive for many value stocks. Wall Street has delivered some excellent returns this year, although admittedly these have been generated through a narrow technology-focused market.
Whether it is automation in industrial production, blockchain technology enhancing the supply chains of materials companies or fintech facilitating improved service for financials, we select managers who share our belief that the future will be shaped by these digital themes. Therefore, a widening out of the market to capture sectors such as industrials, basic materials and the financials will be essential over the longer term. Any change in monetary policy or a pick-up in inflation would be a positive for value stocks.
As far as the global economic recovery is concerned, a few green shoots are already starting to appear in China, where Covid has already been declared under control. And in 2021, the Chinese economy is likely to enjoy its fastest expansion in eight years. For world regions currently suffering their second Covid wave, the economic backdrop remains uncertain. But we will continue to focus on high-quality businesses which maintain strong balance sheets, while adopting a forward-looking approach to the future. We select managers who think along the same lines, so are confident that our approach is robust and should be able to withstand further volatility in the months ahead.
"V" is also for victory
Fourthly, "V" for "Victory". A vaccine would evidently be a huge boost for investment sentiment and would eventually herald the start of the global recovery. Remote working, online shopping and the Internet of Things (IoT) have all derived enormous benefit from the pandemic. The high street, travel and leisure, on the other hand, have all been decimated as consumers have shied away from their normal activities and routines. As the end of the year approaches, countries around the world will be focusing their efforts on the best ways to deal with a second or even a third wave of Covid-19.
One positive is that the healthcare, biotechnology and technology sectors have all benefitted from the digital revolution and the transformation of industries. This should not only help treat patients suffering from the virus (the FDA this week approved Gilead Science's remdesivir as a treatment for Covid-19): it should also result in improved patient care across the world once we have declared victory against the virus.
Such progress in healthcare demonstrates the remarkable things that can be achieved through human ingenuity, as well as highlighting the importance of focusing on a world beyond Covid-19.
As winter sets in and the clocks go back, Investment Quorum remains forward-thinking and optimistic about favourable investment opportunities ahead.

I recently received an email from a retired hydrologist, asking my thoughts about the future of water management. Here's his note and my reply.
"I read your newly-published Water Follies: Groundwater Pumping and the Fate of America's Fresh Waters in 2002 and used it in a seminar that I had long offered. The following year, having tired of fighting the political forces that intervened in our attempts to implement good scientific principles, I retired.
All these years I have basically remained silent, watching what seems to be little heed given your warnings. I am wondering – is there better news, that perhaps is escaping me – or it is the same status quo? You are too busy to give my response an attention; but I wonder, is there an epilogue, a good overstatement that you can recommend that covers where any western reform efforts may stand?"
Dear Retired Hydrologist:
How kind of you to write. You were with me early on and I am very grateful.
I have not despaired and there is good news to report. To be sure, greed and stupidity often control the day, but people of good will and sound judgment have made considerable inroads and reforms.
I see progress in protecting rivers and taking down dams, in using water markets to move farmers away from flood irrigation, in reforming our energy mix to favor natural gas and renewables over coal, in incentivizing conservation with higher prices and rebate programs, in engineers and inventors creating LED bulbs and digital agriculture, in expanding reuse programs, and in educating people about the finite quality and immense value of our water resources.
At the same time, climate change bedevils many well-intentioned programs and follies, such as cloud seeding, continue to bemuse me. Other follies, such as grandiose proposals to desalinate the ocean's water and transport it hundreds of miles, show the infinite capacity of the human mind to ignore reality. A stubborn faith that we can solve our water problems by tapping distant oases still prevails in some quarters.
Despite progress, important challenges remain. What most concerns me in 2020 is the increasing inability of many Americans to pay even modest water bills. A growing number of residents, from South Texas to the Navajo Nation to the Central Valley, lack access to running water that is safe to drink. I also fear that recent dam failures in California (Oroville) and Michigan (Edenville and Sanford) foretell the beginning of a long and deadly story. These concerns stem from two systemic problems: growing income inequality and failing to maintain our water and wastewater infrastructure. Until very recently, the United States could boast of a water system that provided virtually universal access to water. That remarkable achievement is slipping through our fingers like grains of sand at a beach.
The deterioration of our water infrastructure did not begin with the current inhabitant of the White House, and it will take a determined effort to fix it. The terrible crisis of COVID-19 affords an opportunity to make a national commitment to provide universal access to drinking water and to fund the rehabilitation of our infrastructure, from municipal water delivery and treatment networks to agricultural irrigation systems to the dams that store water.
To achieve these ambitious goals will require moral courage and the political will to forge bipartisan consensus. This will not happen before November, but I am optimistic for the future. Public opinion polls show that Americans overwhelmingly support programs to provide clean and affordable water, to safeguard our dams and protect our rivers and lakes. At some point elected officials will take notice.
Very truly yours,

Publisher: Walker Books For Young Readers
Date Released: January 4, 2011
Source: Publisher
Grade: 4 Stars
Reimagining the days surrounding this unforgettable event in history, readers are brought back to 1986 as the astronauts prepare for the Challenger mission, and Christa McAullife trains to be the first teacher in space. When a teen named Annie meets Christa, she is fascinated by Christa's courage. Truly inspired, Annie is determined to make it to Florida to see the Challenger launch, a trip that will forever change how she thinks about herself and her secret desire for her own future. Although she is devastated when tragedy strikes, Annie honors Christa by following her own dream, despite the obstacles. Bringing in her experience as a NASA engineer, Jenny Moss weaves a moving story that recaptures the inspiration teens must have felt years ago as they watched Christa McAuliffe reach for the sky.
My Thoughts:
I was born ten years after the Challenger accident, so this subject was brand new to me. It starts off with the reader learning about Annie's life in "spacey" Texas where she has the seemingly best boyfriend and the awesome best friend. That friend, Lea, invites her to her mother's dinner party where soon to be teachernaut Christa McCauliffe would be. She accepts and later talks to Christa at the party. I thought that Christa was magnificently portrayed in this novel. Through Annie, I got to experience how Christa inspired people.
Annie then goes on a road trip with her dad and his hot twenty-one year old co-worker, Tommy. Do you guys see where this is going? I loved how Annie and Tommy's relationship developed. She knew that she already had a boyfriend so she friended Tommy. Then it gently grew into something more. The relationship between her and her father was an interesting one too. I could feel her frustration with him because he was so laid back when she wanted to get to Christa's launch in time.
I did feel like something was missing though. Nothing big or anything, but I felt like after the Challenger tragedy ended, so did the excitement. I guess that it was a conclusion so it was suppose to start slowing down, but the accident happened a third of the way through the book and there were still, like, fifty pages left!
Overall, Taking Off was a beautiful story filled with love, laughter, and excitement. I can't wait to read some more Jenny Moss books!

Police say suspect tried to assault mother in weeks before pastor's death
FORT DODGE, Ia. — In the weeks before Allen Henderson was killed outside the Fort Dodge church where he'd been pastor for 20 years, family members of his alleged killer called police at least three times to share concerns about the man's violent temper.
Joshua Pendleton, 36, was charged with first-degree murder after police found Henderson unresponsive near the entrance to St. Paul Lutheran Church around 5:45 p.m. Wednesday. A Webster County magistrate on Friday set Pendleton's bond at $6 million.
About two months earlier, on Aug. 11 at 11:33 a.m., Pendleton's mother called Fort Dodge Police to her home at the 900 block of South 14th Street. Heidi Pendleton told officers that her son had become combative and attacked her, according to call logs obtained by the Register.
Neither his mother nor his sister, Miaya Pendleton, could be reached for comment on Monday.
A police report said Joshua Pendleton came over to his mother's home unannounced on the morning of the incident. Pendleton, his mother said, had been off one of his regular medications "for a while." Heidi Pendleton pointed a gun at her son and told him to leave, according to the report.
Joshua Pendleton overpowered his mother, grabbed the gun and pointed it at her. He left the home and also called police, according to the report.
"Heidi had some minor scratches and a cut to her arm," the report said. "Heidi stated this is a common occurrence with Joshua when he does not take his medication."
Heidi Pendleton declined to press charges.
"Officers are very familiar with Joshua and his mental status," the report said. "Officers at times are called by health care providers to assist them in giving Joshua his medications because he can get extremely combative."
Court records showed Pendleton had a long history with the justice system and amassed more than a dozen charges over the past five years.
Pendleton was charged with two counts of assault in May 2017 after he allegedly attempted to choke his mother and cut a man who intervened, court records show. The two told police they were "concerned with Josh's mental health status, but are in fear of their lives at this point," according to the criminal complaint.
On Sept. 18, just weeks ago, police were called twice in less than three hours about Joshua Pendleton. At 9:40 a.m., Heidi Pendleton told Fort Dodge Police that she wanted her son arrested.
A Fort Dodge Police Department records clerk said no police report from the incident exists. But according to the call log, Joshua Pendleton was off his medication, "roughed up his mom," then kicked in the door to her house.
"Almost shot him," a call log reads. "Son beat her up."
The call log also notes that after the incident with his mother, Pendleton walked to his home at 1426 4th Ave. S., just two-tenths of a mile from St. Paul Lutheran. After Henderson was discovered on Oct. 2, officers found Joshua Pendleton at the same home and arrested him.
Less than three hours after that incident, an associate of Joshua Pendleton called police at 12:07 p.m. and asked officers to conduct a welfare check on him. Pendleton told officers he argued with his mother that morning.
"Someone called (The Iowa Department of Human Services) and stated Josh was having mental health issues and losing a lot of weight."
Fort Dodge Police Chief Roger Porter said the department still does not know what, if any, relationship Joshua Pendleton had with Henderson. Joshua Pendleton took Henderson's phone in the robbery. At this point the incident appears to be a random robbery, Porter said.
Joshua Pendleton is to make his next appearance in court Friday at 4 p.m.

Multiple GRAMMY, Dove Award nominated Leeland internationally releases its fifth full-length album and first new album in nearly five years, Invisible, July 22 from Bethel Music and through Provident Distribution. The album also marks the first album since Leeland, consisting of Leeland Mooring and Casey Moore, joined the Bethel Music Artist Collective in 2015.
Leeland has been a creative presence in Christian music for a decade, contributing multiple well-known worship songs ("Tears of the Saints," "Follow You," "Count Me In," etc.) to the global church.
For the new album, which was inspired by Philippians 3:12, Leeland takes a unique and intentional, yet light-hearted step into new territory. Co-writing for the first time on songs for the album with Brian Johnson, Darlene Zschech and Steffany Gretzinger, the jovial, pop-leaning production of Invisible wraps themes of identity, joy and freedom. The album also explores with energy and conviction new ways of expressing the simple gospel that Jesus has made a way for authentic relationship with his people.
"Jesus said that we are called to seek Him in the secret place," says Leeland. "We can know God, encounter Him at church, in conferences, at concerts, but ultimately where we're really going to meet Jesus face to face, be changed day by day, is in a personal, hidden relationship with Him. Our hope for you listening to Invisible is that some of these songs help push you into that secret place with Him, and that He begins to change every part of your life."
The album's title track was created following a revelation about the disciple, Thomas. "When Jesus showed up, showed him His hands, Thomas knew in that moment that Jesus was not invisible," shares Casey. "There are moments in our walk with Him that are just like that, when we have an amazing, real encounter with God, and then there are times when He calls us to walk in faith. God sees you and knows you, and loves you where you are. You're not invisible." All songs are loaded and ready to use- just access your WorshipTeam.com system database.
The songs are full featured with complete lyrics, chord charts and full length audio. Check out these great new songs, hear them in the original key, or choose your own key and play it the way you like it.

Many people across the world are lucky enough to have ancestral ties to Scotland. Are you one of them? Trace your family tree back in time. Discover the occupations that kept your ancestors busy, find out more about your clan, visit the towns and streets where your ancestors once lived
History of the Scots
Information on Scotland and its people, the Scots, are essentially a mix of four groups of people – the Picts (original iron-age inhabitants), the Scots (who migrated from Northern Ireland), the Brittons (native people in the South West of Scotland) and the Angles (who invaded from Europe in the 5th Century A.D. The first three named groups had an affinity in that they were all of Celtic origin. From around the 9th century the country was subject to hostile attacks from Norwegian Vikings who subsequently settled and left their mark in place names, particularly on the West Coast.
The Clans
The Highland clan system started to developed around the 12th century and has provided us with a legacy of names recognised the world over which include Armstrong, Bruce, Cameron, Campbell, Davidson, Douglas, Forbes, Gordon, Grant, Gunn, McRae, MacDonald, Mackay, MacGillvray, McGregor, MacDougall, Mackenzie, Macleod, Macmillan, Macnab, Robertson, Scott, Stewart and Sutherland. However there are some 16,000 Scottish surnames of which fewer than 3,000 originate from the Highlands. The majority of Scots have always lived in the lowlands.
Your Ancestry Clan Themed Tour?
I have lived around these parts for 57 years and I know generations of families. I can show you:
Local Heritage Centres
Visit local burial grounds where you ancestors may be buried
Did your family work in the the farming, whisky, fishing, woollen mill industries?
Visit all museums in the area to get the culture and surroundings of the area your family worked in
My family history
My family roots go as far back as I can remember. I've always been told from my elder generation that my Clan Stewart came from Appin on the West Coast of Scotland I have traced my family tree back a good bit and gathered lots of valuable information .. good and bad I may tell you but loved the history and mystery to it. The rewards are well worth the effort. There will be a few skeletons in the cupboard so beware!
Sailin' up the Clyde, sailin' up the Clyde,
Back to bonnie Scotland where yer ain folk bide.
There's a lump comes in yer throat an' a tear ye cannae hide,
When yer sailin' back to Scotland,
An' yer ain fireside.

Royal Mail is trialling a prototype version of LEVC's new range-extender electric van, the VN5.
The postal service is one of 25 businesses taking part in the test phase, which will last until Q4.
DPD was the first UK business to begin trialling the new vehicle.
LEVC, which also makes black taxis, is deploying a fleet of converted TX-based prototypes utilising a full interior van conversion, kickstarting trials ahead of official VN5 launch later this year.
Paul Gatti, Fleet Director at Royal Mail said: "As a Company, we are committed to making changes to our operations that reduce our environmental impact, whilst ensuring we continue to meet customer expectations.
"Alongside the introduction of electric vans in locations across our business, this trial is part of a programme of initiatives that allow us to experiment with ways to achieve this, whilst enabling us to continue to deliver letters and parcels safely, efficiently and responsibly."
The VN5's cargo capacity can accommodate two Euro sized pallets with a gross payload of more than 800kg.
LEVC says the VN5's eCity technology meets the "demanding duty cycles" of various different sectors, and, for logistics businesses such as Royal Mail, the vehicle has been designed to provide 'distribution to door' – not just last mile – capability, creating a link between out of town depots and city centres.
Joerg Hofmann, LEVC CEO, said: "Royal Mail is one of the oldest postal services in the world and, like our London black cab, is part of British history and culture. It is great that these two iconic brands are joining forces for this trial.
"The VN5 prototypes will wear the iconic Royal Mail red livery and be used on routes that will test the vehicles ability to the full. These trials are crucial to the final development of the van, ahead of its launch later this year."
Appetite for electric vehicles is surging among fleet operators who are recognising the need to reduce transport emissions.
LEVC's trial phase will take place over the next few months and prototypes will be trialled with a wide range of businesses, from Tool & Equipment hire to Energy suppliers. These companies have been specifically chosen to put the vehicle through a variety of different use cases.

January 18, 2017
The Taco Truck is officially open at King of Prussia Mall. On Jan. 17, the fast-casual restaurant opened for business in the new Savor speciality food hall. It joins Shake Shack, The Fat Ham, Sweetgreen and more eateries.
As the name suggests, The Taco Truck began as a mobile food vendor. In 2009, founders Jason Scott and Chris Viola, inspired by their travels to Mexico, opened a gourmet food truck in New Jersey selling authentic fare.
They partnered with Mexican chefs to make sure The Taco Truck had an "abuela-approved menu," according to a press release.
Since the initial food truck, the brand has expanded in New Jersey to include brick-and-mortar stores, carts and kiosks.
"We have been looking at the Philadelphia area for quite some time," Scott said. "Once we heard the lineup of operators they were going to bring to Savor King of Prussia, it felt like a natural launching pad for our Pennsylvania expansion."
In the designated dining area for The Taco Truck, there will be a vertical spit rotisserie. The spit is unique to the King of Prussia location.
It allows The Taco Truck's Al Pastor menu items to be prepared and served in the traditional manner, which is slow cooked on the rotisserie and cut straight from the vertical spit.
The menu includes:
•Carnitas tacos with braised sweet pork, onion, cilantro and fresh green salsa.
•Barbacoa tortas, which is a toasted Mexican sandwich made of white onion, pickled jalapeno avocado crema, black beans, braised beef and chipotle salsa.
•Pollo Burritos with grilled chicken, lime-pickled onion, roasted red salsa, red rice, black beans and crema.
The Taco Truck will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. On Sundays, it will be open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

An 18-year old London man was found guilty of the brutal rape and attempted murder of a 15-year old girl he lured into a cemetery and attacked in various ways, including carving his name into her arm with a knife, reported The Inquisitr.
Miles Edward Hughes and the unidentified victim sat in the historic graveyard in West Hampstead listening to music and talking, according to The Daily Express. Hughes' conversation turned to serial killers and he pulled out a knife, which he used to carve his name into her upper left arm.
Hughes then pushed the woman to the ground, held her by the neck and raped her, refusing to let her go after the attack, reported The Daily Express.
"He wouldn't accept the fact I had to go," the victim told the court. "He was sat on top of me saying, 'You're going to tell the police.' He said, 'There are voices in my head saying I need to kill you.' He started to poke the thing into my neck. I started to cry. He started to cry and said, 'I'm sorry.' He went to stab me but he grabbed my other arm."
The victim tried to fight Hughes off but was no match for his attack, which included repeatedly stabbing her in the neck and chest.
Hughes only stopped the attack when a passerby shouted at him. When he heard the shout, he got to his feet and ran from the scene.
The girl called for medical help.
Soon after leaving the graveyard, Hughes called the police and said he had murdered a girl in the cemetery.The victim told police she tried to fight back, but that Hughes repeatedly stabbed her in the neck and chest.
The girl was freed when a member of the public shouted "get off," and Hughes fled. The girl then called for medical help. Hughes called police and said he had murdered a girl in a graveyard.
Police found drawings in Hughes' bedroom, including a sketch of a clown's face with a swastika and the numbers 666, alongside a drawing of a person with the caption, "Anger creates Monsters, hatred gives them reason."
Hughes told police that voices in his head inspired the drawings. He claimed the pair had had consensual sex before he lost his temper, but insisted he had only meant to cause 'really serious harm' rather than murder the girl.
Hughes is scheduled to be sentenced on February 24.
