County library system seeks community input
With its centennial on the horizon, the St. Clair County Library System is turning to the community to get input on how to treat the next 100 years.
There is a community meeting planned at the Main Library in Port Huron on Thursday to get a conversation started about the direction the library system will head. Library director Allison Arnold said the meeting will mainly cover what patrons envision for their potential information needs and what they think is the future of library services and facilities.
"I think it's important because our purpose is to serve the community," said Allison Arnold, library director. "We're going to talk about what people think makes a great library."
Though Port Huron did not have the first library in the state, Arnold said that in 1917 it became the first countywide library system in Michigan.
The library system, which includes 11 branches around the county, sees half a million visits annually. The Main Library alone sees more than 150,000 visits a year.
Arnold says the library system offers a variety of resources ranging from print materials to meeting rooms to driver's education programs.
"We try to serve a community that can be typically underserved," Arnold said.
With the help of community meetings and surveys, the library system hopes to maintain it's relevancy to the community's needs. The frequency of meetings will depend on how many people attend the meeting on Thursday, she said.
"We're going to be doing more of these forums where we sit down and touch base because we're here to serve," Arnold said." So we want to make sure we're headed in the right direction. We do have a strategic goal but that doesn't mean we shouldn't talk to our patrons."
Arnold said she is excited to see the way the community conversation will guide the library's goals.
"We're becoming so much more," Arnold said. "We're not your grandmother's library... But we are for your grandmother still – she is certainly welcome to come and I will help her."

When the news of the tragic sinking of the Titanic reached England, the scene outside the steamship office was indescribable.
Relatives and friends of those on the sunken vessel crowded the street in front of the office. Two huge doors were the main entrance into the steamship office.
Above one of the doors was printed in large letters: KNOWN TO BE SAVED and above the other, in equally large letters, KNOWN TO BE LOST.
Every now and then a man would emerge from behind those two doors, carrying a large piece of cardboard on which was written a passenger's name. A deathlike stillness would sweep over the crowd, as they watched breathlessly to see on which door he would pin that piece of cardboard.
Would he pin it on the door marked SAVED or on the door labeled LOST? The crowd realized there were but two classes of people among those who traveled on the Titanic: The SAVED or the LOST.1
The readings today also tell us that there will be the end of the world. On that day, there will also be two types of people. One will be SAVED and the others will be LOST. This is not a threat, but it is a reality at the end. Jesus has warned us of many things. The things that he said have happened. He had said that he would suffer, die, rise from the death, ascend to heaven and send down the Holy Spirit, and all came true. He also said that Judas would betray him; Peter would deny him, and the other disciples would run away abandoning him. All came to be true. He had predicted that the temple of Jerusalem would be destroyed. For the Jews it would be impossible to happen. But it happened. The temple was destroyed in 70 A. D. He also predicted that his Church would expand to all over the world, be persecuted, but even the power of hell would not be able to destroy the Church. This has been true for the last 2000 years. The Church continues to grow amid persecutions throughout the ages. We can conclude that Jesus' words are credible. And He is credible.
One thing Jesus said that has not happened. We are still talking about it and waiting for it. It is the end of the world. Based on all what have happened according to his predictions, we believe that his saying about the end of the world will also become true.
People of every age want to know when the end of the world will come. Jesus does not tell us when; he says that he does not know either (Mc 13:32). And he warns against false prophets or churches that claim they are the messiah and know the exact date. According to Jesus, they are deceivers. No one has true knowledge about when the end of the world will be. Some people misinterprets Jesus' saying about wars and insurrections, earthquakes, flooding, famines, plagues and persecutions as signs of the end of the world. They see earthquake and Cholera in Haiti, volcanoes and Tsunami in Indonesia, floods in Asia, wars in the Middle East, extremist Islam Jihads and wars on terrorism, drug wars, and economic instability around the world are signs of the end of the world coming.
These things have been happening throughout human history in one way or another. Human history is a history of wars and insurrections. Natural disasters have happened everywhere throughout the world of all times. There is not a single year in human history that these things have not happened in some places in the world. Jesus only says that these things must happen before the end of the world but not immediately before the end of the world. Actually it is not important for us or for anyone to know when it will happen. It should be more important to believe that it will happen, and to live our life according to what Jesus wants us to live. He wants us not to be terrified, but to continue giving testimony on his behalf.
Jesus wants us to hold on to our faith amid persecutions, wars, famine, destruction and suffering of all forms. If we endure these things, we will save our lives from destruction. To endure is to take the way of the cross as Jesus did.
To live a faithful life today is quite a challenge. Nothing seems to be stable and last for a long time. All the products we use are constantly changing both in fashions as well as in technology. New models and products are being introduced every year. For example, we cannot keep up with different types of cell phones, iPods, and computer software programs. We have changed from Window to Window 95, to window 98, to window XP, then to Window Vista and now to Window 7. People are moving from one city to another because of works or living conditions. Marriage institution is also changing. It is not merely defined as a committed lasting and loving relationship between a man and a woman. Many people want to recognize homosexual relationships as marriages as well. Relationship between husband and wife is also not stable. Many people are changing spouses easily. In the United States, at least 50% of marriages end in divorce. New research shows increasing recognition of unmarried couples – gay and straight - as families. Many states are shifting toward public opinion and doing away with the traditional definition of a family: "A family is a group of two people or more (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together."
Facing these phenomenons in the modern world with many challenges and temptations, Jesus is telling all his followers including us not to "be terrified," not to compromise with the world, but continue to give testimony on his behalf, and by being persevered in our faith, we will secure our lives.
A young Chinese communist was attempting to win over one of his Catholic friends, listing for him all the wonderful things the party would do for him. He concluded his remarks by saying: "Your priest doesn't really care for you. What gifts does he give you? He doesn't give you any clothes or shoes."
The Catholic boy unbuttoned his shirt and asked his friend: "Can you see the things that are in my heart?"
"Of course not," answered the young Marxist.
"Very well," said the Catholic boy, "let me tell you that the priest makes me presents of the things I need in my heart. When I confess my sins, he washes my heart clean with the blood of Jesus Christ. When I receive Holy Communion, the priest feeds me with the bread of angels. The clothes your party promises me will wear out; the tobacco will go up in smoke, but the gifts I receive from the priest I will take to heaven. These are the gifts that your party has overlooked.'2

Mt. Juliet hotel pool questioned despite good inspection
Multiple reports of skin irritations by people who used an indoor Mt. Juliet hotel pool last weekend surfaced just after a routine state inspection that found no critical violations.
The Holiday Inn Express & Suites on South Mt. Juliet Road received a 96 out of a possible 100 score by Tennessee Department of Health environmentalists in its initial inspection on Jan. 16.
But after its pool had been used in the immediate days after the inspection, cases of skin irritation were reported to the Wilson County Health Department, state health department spokeswoman Shelley Walker said.
The state is conducting a follow-up inspection of a Mt. Juliet hotel, which is incomplete. But so far, no cause for the skin irritants have been discovered according to Walker. The completion date for the second inspection isn't certain, but Walker said "hopefully next week."
Hotel management has cooperated with the investigation, Walker said. A statement released by management included:
"The hotel is looking (into) this matter and has not taken this issue lightly. The health and safety of our guests is one of our top priorities. We also pride ourselves on maintaining clean modern accommodations for our guests. When we are made aware of any potential health or safety issues, we take them very seriously. Upon receiving notice of the concerns, we voluntarily requested (an) immediate re-inspection from the Wilson County and State of Tennessee Health Departments. It is our understanding that those Health Department inspections revealed nothing unusual and actually resulted in a score of 96 out 100 for the first inspection. We regret that anyone has experienced illness but there is no indication that our property is to blame."
The state health department hasn't been involved in treatment of any of the cases as far as Walker was aware.
TriStar Summit Medical Center reported one youth being diagnosed with the skin condition folliculitis after being brought in by a parent after swimming in the hotel pool, hospital spokeswoman Julie Plummer said. An improperly maintained pool is one of several causes of folliculitis, which is described as an infection of hair follicles.

The Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst has supported the production, exhibition and collection of international contemporary art since 1996. It presents temporary solo and group exhibitions, as well as works from its own collection, on two floors. An internationally renowned museum, it sees itself as a dynamic location for contemporary art, a mission to which its comprehensive art education and event programs contribute as well. For its exhibitions, the museum focuses on large-scale productions in close cooperation with the artists. 'Contemporary art' is conceived as a dynamic temporal classification that encompasses an ongoing exploration between looking forwards and looking back. At the same time, the term implies integration into a social context, as well as involvement in an ongoing exchange of ideas and in art production. The exhibitions at the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst frame art history as a dynamic process that is open to scrutiny, revision, and variation. Incorporating the collection into a lively environment that is in contact with, and promotes, contemporary art production and addresses an open-minded audience is another objective of the museum.

In our 5th issue of the Energy Branding & Marketing Insights newsletter, [subscribe here if you haven't already] we interview a leader in our industry, Segment Director, Energy for Seequent.
Each issue will feature a similar style of interview questions with a geothermal leader from around the world. Magaly provided the following response.
Q: What do you see as the biggest challenge we face in the geothermal industry?
O'Brien: One of the biggest challenges our industry has is communicating the value it brings. In reality, geothermal is a mature technology that hasn't had as much investment as our peers in O&G or Mining where profits are higher. In particular, when being compared with other energy sources the total cost of ownership is not considered and that is where geothermal is strong. If we can begin to paint the picture of the broader value (energy transition, job creation, energy security, Baseload, etc) geothermal brings and begin to communicate more frequently with those outside our industry we will see the rewards
Q: What are you doing to help mitigate this challenge?
O'Brien: One of the key areas of uncertainty in geothermal projects is our fuel source which is beneath our feet. Our efforts at Seequent are focused on providing software that allows people to articulate the complexities of the subsurface in a way that allows technical people to collaborate and test assumptions while at the same time making it consumable to non-technical stakeholders. The aim is to help streamline decision making and reduce costs around high-cost activities like data acquisition, drilling, and optimising operations by allowing the subsurface to be communicated through a platform that promotes communication between all the stakeholders in a project.
I also sit on the board of the New Zealand Geothermal Association where we are pushing hard to paint the picture of the opportunity geothermal offers Aotearoa to the wider community.
Q: What are you most hopeful about with our industry?
O'Brien: Geothermal in all its different form is positioned to play a crucial part in the energy transition, tackling climate change, and providing energy security for countries are reliant on fossil fuel-based energy. I'm particularly excited by Geothermal Power being identified as an area that is especially promising but underfunded by Bill Gates and the Breakthrough energy venture fund. Also by the surge in activity in geothermal for heating and cooling especially in Europe, the potential, this provides means this will become the largest part of our industry if its value can be communicated effectively.
Q: How important are public outreach, strategic marketing, and brand management to further promote and educate the public about our industry? And Why?
O'Brien: Crucial, the stories that resonate most with those not in our industry are those where they can see the impact we are having on their community. Without clear, consistent messaging in a professional manner, we cannot compete with those around us who do this very well.
This concludes our Q&A with Jeremy O'Brien. A special thanks for your time with this interview and your leadership in geothermal.

GALVIN, Lena
Ellen Margaret Galvin, known as Lena, was born 24 February 1892 in Tralee to Garrett Galvin and Ellen Coughlan. Garrett from Abbeyfeale in County Limerick and Ellen from County Cork were married in Dunmanway in 1888. He had been a Constable in the Royal Irish Constabulary since 1881 and was then stationed in Tralee, where he would stay until he retired in 1907. Lena was the second of eleven children, two of whom died young. The family lived in James Street in Tralee until moving to Perry Buildings on Strand Street in 1895. There they had a second class house with four rooms for the family of eleven persons.
In the 1911 census James, the eldest, was an Accountant in a Hardware Store and Lena was an Assistant Teacher. Unfortunately there is nothing in the newspaper reports of the deaths of Lena and her sister Nora on 10 October 1918 aboard RMS Leinster to indicate their occupations or why they were travelling to Holyhead. Neither sister survived the sinking, nor was Lena's body ever recovered. Her name (Ellen) is recorded on the family grave in Rath cemetery in Tralee.

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the love for my last post! Such a nice welcome back to the blogging world after a few months off!
When I was in Melbourne, I had a delicious Fig and Apricot loaf for brunch one day. It was served with ricotta and honey and was just superb! I thought I'd try replicating it at home. I modified this recipe from Poires au Chocolat, and it turned out amazing! I didn't have any pecans, so I used a mixture of almonds and walnuts. It's fragrant, dense and filling. Perfect with a cup of tea!
This loaf has lasted me all week, it's so perfect for morning tea. I love the crunchiness of the nuts and fig seeds.
It's a pretty straightforward recipe: steep your tea until it's very well brewed, add your fruit and vanilla and cook them until they're juicy and plump. Combine with toasted nuts and the rest of the loaf ingredients and bake… yum!
Apricot and Fig Loaf
- 125g dried apricots
- 125g dried figs
- 100g raisins or sultanas
- 200ml well brewed Earl Grey tea
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 150g nuts (pecans, almonds, walnuts), roughly chopped.
- 100g brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 225g flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Preheat the oven to 160ºC, fan-bake. Grease a loaf tin with butter or oil.
- Put the apricots, figs, raisins, vanilla and tea into a medium sized pot. Cover and bring to the boil. Once it has come to the boil, lower the temperature and simmer for half an hour to an hour, until the fruit is soft and plump. Allow to cool, strain the liquid (keeping it!) and chop the figs and apricots into quarters.
- While the fruit is stewing, toast the nuts in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant.
- Top up the reserved liquid from the fruit to a total of 100ml with water. Add sugar and salt and heat over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the chopped fruit and nuts into the syrup, combine.
- Add in the lightly beaten egg and stir. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. The mixture will be quite stiff.
- Tip the batter into the loaf tray and bake for about an hour, or a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. After about 40 minutes you may need to cover with tin foil to prevent it from burning.
- Cool for about 5 minutes in the tin before tipping out onto a wire rack to cool.
- Will keep for about a week in a tin.

"Catch me who can" is the oldest exhibit dating from 1808. It was built for demonstration purposes by Richard Trevithick.
"Locomotion" pulled the world's first passenger train between Stockton and Darlington
"Novelty" took part in the Rainhill Trials in 1829.
"Sans pareil" was another competitor in the Rainhill Trials. Again this is a replica, BUT the original is still in existance and resides in the National Railway Museum's Shildon location
The "Marc Seguin" named after its inventor was the first locomotive to used a tubed boiler.
The "Adler" was the first Geman steam locomotive to pull a passenger train in revenue earning service.
I am completely at a loss why this Crampton was included in the exhibition. Although it is interesting in itself, it has little to do with de pioneering period of the railways.
After seeing the special exhibition we ventured into the remaining indoor part of the museum. We entered a "world" depicting Britain in the 1820s, and telling the story of the start of the railways.
And this is the final piece of the exibition. The "Arend", the locomotive that pulled the first Dutch passenger train

At First Ever Star Field Flashlight Exhibition, Expect the Unexpected
On Sunday May 5, RWU artists of all types will showcase their work at the WaterFire Arts Center, in the first-ever Star Field Flashlight Exhibition.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The WaterFire Arts Center will be completely dark, save for the glow of the art.
On the evening of Sunday, May 5, students and alumni across multiple creative disciplines, including visual art, dance, design, music, creative writing, and web development, will showcase their work in RWU's first ever Star Field Flashlight Exhibition.
"This is one of the finest arts spaces in the city and will give students the opportunity to have a real, authentic exhibition in a high caliber gallery," said Associate Professor and Star Field Flashlight organizer Murray McMillan.
Those participating in this unique exhibition will gain the professional experience of networking with artists of all different skillsets, planning and curating their own show, and presenting powerful work to the public.
"I'm only 20 and I'm being handed this chance to showcase what I love to do," said Leia Stone, sophomore visual art studies major, who will be presenting a digital media project. "This is something everyone is working on together and we get to celebrate the achievement that we've made something."
Much of the work featured will be interactive, such as the piece that Associate Professor of Art Elizabeth Duffy's sculpture class has created.
Freshman graphic design communications major Caitlin Tavares is one of the choreographers of this sculpture performance piece involving mirrors. Tavares said this piece is sure to provoke thought.
"I hope that people get inspiration for other ideas and see how powerful art can be," Tavares said. "All art can make a difference in some way, even if it just inspires a little spark in us."
The mirror performance is just one of countless engaging, exciting, and impactful artistic displays audience members will see at Star Field Flashlight. From film to poetry to video games, the exhibition will keep people on their toes.
"Every audience member will have a complete different ride," says McMillan. "You're going to see something from across the room and want to get in on that and then something is going to happen right next to you that you didn't expect. The audience will be delighted to see exactly what unfolds in front of them."
Star Field Flashlight will be held at the WaterFire Arts Center on 475 Valley St., Providence on Sunday, May 5, 7:00 P.M to 9:00 P.M.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services cut the New York Times Co.'s long-term credit and debt ratings, citing concerns about the company's capital spending plans and a challenging environment for newspaper advertising.
S&P knocked The Times' long-term ratings to "BBB+" from "A-" - two notches above non-investment grade. At the same time, it affirmed its "A-2" short-term credit and commercial paper ratings.
"No meaningful change in the company's financial position is expected until the significant capital outlays are completed in the second quarter of 2008, when more cash flow will become available to repay outstanding borrowings," said S&P analyst Donald Wong, in his report.
The ratings cuts comes weeks after the company reported a 3.8% decline in November advertising sales to $189.9 million. The Times' profits dropped 39% to $14 million, or 10 cents a share, on revenue of $739.6 million during the third quarter.
The Times, which is gearing up to open its new headquarters during the second quarter of 2007, is in the midst of consolidating two local printing plants into one and aims to trim the width of The New York Times by the second quarter of 2008, in an effort to cut costs. The company plans to spend more than $155 million on its new headquarters.
The company had $1.5 billion of debt outstanding as of Sept. 30, when it announced plans to sell its nine network-affiliate television stations. The stations are expected to generate $150 million in revenue this year, according to S&P.

Looking for a wedding officiant for your destination or elopement wedding in Bend Oregon? I'm often asked by my wedding clients for referrals on fabulous wedding officiants in the Central Oregon area. I would love to share a few wonderful recommendations and helpful tips.
Why hire a professional wedding officiant?
A professional wedding officiant can create custom services that will be very specific to you, your love story, your values and beliefs. Wedding officiants may be able to help guide you with your own custom wedding vows. Wedding officiants are comfortable in front of people, they are public speakers and can keep the wedding ceremony flowing with proper etiquette and professionalism. Officiants often are a calming presence, they can help with all of the nerves and adrenaline and can assist the bride and groom as well as their parents and anyone involved directly in the wedding ceremony to stay calm and present at the moment. And last but not least, they help with all the legal paperwork that is required such as your marriage certificate signing and documents to make everything legal. It is a great idea to set up a pre-wedding consultation with any wedding officiant that you are considering. It's great to meet the officiant via Skype, FaceTime or in person to make sure that you connect with them and feel they are the perfect fit. Personality is important, you want to feel a great connection and chemistry with your officiant.
Here are some of my personal favorites wedding officiants located in the Central Oregon area.

Off the back of the Prime Minister's announcement tonight, adults across Berkshire are being invited to get their Covid booster jab before the new year.
The target for giving every adult in England a booster jab has been brought forward by a month over fears of a "tidal wave of Omicron" that could cause "very many deaths".
Boris Johnson, in a pre-recorded address to the nation on Sunday evening, said Britain "must urgently reinforce our wall of vaccine protection" as he set a new deadline of jabbing everyone over 18 by the new year.
He said scientists had discovered that being fully vaccinated is "simply not enough" to prevent the spread of the coronavirus mutation and that, without a lightning speed mass booster campaign, the NHS could be overwhelmed.
The announcement comes as the UK Covid alert level was raised to Level 4, up from Level 3, following a rapid increase in the number of Omicron cases being recorded.
Who is eligible for a booster?
Anyone over the age of 18 from tomorrow.
You can get a booster dose from a walk-in site if it's been three months (91 days) since your 2nd dose.
Where can I get my booster jab in Berkshire?
Full list of vaccination sites in Berkshire
There are a number of different ways you could be vaccinated:
- Local vaccination sites (run by GPs in West Berkshire, Wokingham and Reading).
- Hospital sites for health and social care staff
- Care homes
- Pharmacy sites
- National mass vaccination sites
- NHS Health on the Move pop-up clinics
Anyone over the age of 16, and parents of children aged 12 to 15, can book their coronavirus jab here or attend a walk-in appointment here. The vaccine is free of charge without any immigration checks and you do not need to have a GP or an NHS number.
Anyone unable to book online can call 119 free of charge, anytime between 7am and 11pm seven days a week.

Google was waging an ongoing battle in a court in the Netherlands regarding fake reviews on several of its sites. But recently the search giant lost a lawsuit in Amsterdam to a nursery, according to a report from TechCrunch. The U.S. firm is being forced not only to take down the fake reviews but is also required to hand over the details of people who initially posted the reviews.
First-of-its-kind ruling for Google
Google has been asked to pay an insignificant amount of fees (less than $2,000). The more important aspect of the ruling is that it has been asked to provide the details of the people posting fake reviews. Google has never been asked to do something of this sort before.
According to TechCrunch, the court is forcing the search giant to disclose IP addresses, names and other important information of people who initially posted fake reviews to its sites. The nursery continuously received a handful of negative and harassing reviews over the course of six months, and for this reason, it sued Google.
Greenhaven Road Capital commentary for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. Q3 2022 hedge fund letters, conferences and more Dear Fellow Investors, The Fund is enduring its worst drawdown since inception. We were down again in the third quarter, bringing year -to-date returns to approximately -59%. Returns vary by . . . SORRY! This Read More
On Google+ and Google Maps, there were reviews claiming that children were not safe in the nursery. Originally, the nursery approached Google and requested that it take off the reviews, but the search giant refused to do so, arguing that they come under freedom of speech and that there wasn't any justification for taking them down. This led the nursery to approach the court against the U.S. firm.
The Amsterdam judge's decision could set a huge precedent for posting fake reviews online: a problem that has plagued companies like Google, Yelp and Amazon for a long time. Paul Tijam, the nursery's lawyer, noted that it was possible to set a precedent, but it would be hard or nearly impossible to justify such rulings in the United States and some European countries.
Nevertheless, this comes as good news for a country like Netherlands and will be helpful to smaller businesses that are harassed via reviews. This decision will make it possible for smaller businesses to trace reviewers posting fake reviews.
"As regards the EU, there is no doubt that others will use this decision in their respective jurisdictions. In media and IP related matters, attorneys constantly refer to judgments that were rendered by other (mostly West) European courts," Tijam said.

Recent work suggests that resource economic traits might help predict the strength and direction of plant-soil feedback interactions, both in natural systems and in agriculture. However, there are many competing hypotheses to explain the effects of plant resource economics on plant-soil feedbacks.
Faster-growing plants may have positive fertilizing effects if their tissues are incorporated and mineralized by soil microbes, but may also have negative effects if pathogens build up, or if fungal symbionts are lost through fertilization. Identifying the direction of effects may be confounded if nutrients are exported through herbivory, leaching, or crop harvesting.
To determine causality in the effect of plant traits on plant-soil feedbacks it is essential for plant-soil feedback experiments to (1) quantify the mass of nutrients held in standing, or harvested plant biomass, and in losses to other sources in the field, and (2) undertake soil chemistry measurements (e.g. gross and net nitrogen mineralization) of nutrients limiting for plant growth throughout all phases of the feedback cycle.
If rigorous nutrient budgeting in plant-soil feedback research is more widely practiced this will provide the data needed to synthesise results in comparable ways, and will enable mechanistic insights into the role of plant traits in mediating plant competition in both natural and applied settings.
Author Comment
This is a call for better nutrient budgeting in plant-soil feedback experiments to enable easier synthesis of experiments and to facilitate easier interpretation of findings by the research community.

Senator Frantz Stands in Strong Support of a New Direction for ConnecticutJune 7, 2017
The Proposed Senate Republican Budget Closes the Deficit without New Taxes, Maintains Tax Exempt Status for Hospitals and Prioritizes Transportations needs Without Tolls
HARTFORD, Conn. – Today State Senator and Co-Chairman of the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee, L. Scott Frantz (R-Greenwich) helped introduce and stood in strong support of the Senate Republican Budget which lays the path for A New Direction for Connecticut.
"This no-new-tax state budget makes the tough choices necessary to bring spending inline, reduce the size of government, and make changes to state employee benefits to bring them in line with municipal workers – all while protecting core services," said Sen. Frantz. "I want to say to my constituents and the residents of Connecticut, we have heard your concerns and we are taking a stand in an effort to bring Connecticut back from the brink of fiscal ruin."

This budget lays a foundation that will help to restore confidence in our state so that we can retain and attract businesses and grow jobs," said Sen. Frantz. "There is no question that we are facing a serious financial crisis, both families and businesses are leaving this state. For that reason I have worked hard to help provide Connecticut with a budget that makes the necessary changes to put Connecticut on a path of sustainability and predictability."
"At the end of the day, this budget is about survival," said Sen. Frantz.
The proposed Senate Republican Budget includes:
- Closes the deficit without new taxes
- Increases education funding and includes a new ECS formula.
- Stabilizes municipal aid and does not add new financial burdens onto towns and cities.
- Maintains tax exempt status for hospitals to protect them from a new local hospital tax.
- Preserves core government services by restoring funding for social services and protecting funds for services and programs that benefit people most in need.
- Prioritizes transportation needs and stabilizes funding without tolls or new taxes
- Lowers taxes for retirees and helps seniors age in place
- Enhances funding for state parks and tourism
- Streamlines government
- Provides for structural changes

Despite the rain, more than a thousand of you joined us last Saturday for a wonderful First Day of Issue Ceremony in honor of the new . Thank you to Gov. Barnett; Cmdr. Matthew Bonner, Constitution's 72nd commanding officer; Boston Postmaster James Holland; and all the collectors and fans who made the event truly special.
"It is such an honor for Constitution to be immortalized on a Forever stamp," Bonner said. "And there is no better time than during the bicentennial of the War of 1812 during which Constitution and the Navy played such a pivotal role."
During the war, USS Constitution became a symbol of the young nation's independence and an inspiration to future generations. With his 1830 poem, "Old Ironsides," Oliver Wendell Holmes aroused popular support to repair the venerable ship, which continued to serve in various capacities for much of the 19th century.
Today Constitution, the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, is docked at the historic Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston, Massachusetts, and is manned by a crew of active-duty U.S. Navy sailors. She was officially designated as "America's Ship of State" in 2009. In preparation for the bicentennial of the War of 1812, Constitution has been restored to more closely resemble her appearance during that historic conflict.
The stamp's First Day of Issue ceremony took place at the USS Constitution Museum in the Charlestown Navy Yard. and can be purchased online.

This is the initial exam for admission in IIT. If you pass it, then after giving another exam, you can be selected in IIT. But if you can pass only in the IIT JEE Main Exam, then you can only get admission in some government colleges in the country, that too based on your marks.
- IIT JEE Main is an online exam.

- If you give a wrong answer to a question, then for every wrong answer, your 1 mark will be deducted. In IIT JEE Main exam, 30-30 questions of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are asked.
- You can give this exam with or even after the intermediate examination.
- IIT JEE is held twice in a year. After 12th, you can give it for 3 years. That means your maximum effort is up to 6.
If you bring good marks in it, then you can get admission in any government college in the country based on this score.
What is the IIT JEE Advanced Exam ?

Raves and Reviews
"Youngsters will delight in spotting right ("I like to eat apples") from wrong ("I like to eat books") in each situation, the turn of the page always giving them ample time to point out a correction. Krug's oil-paint illustrations are cheery and bright, which add to the whimsy, and interchanging framed pages with double-page spreads gives extra visual cues to help readers spot the silly parts...the sleepy, nighttime conclusion both brings the slight narrative full circle and makes this a surprising bedtime possibility. A well-paced romp with nifty response opportunities for little ones."
– Kirkus, December 4, 2014
In this charming book, preschoolers share the things they like to do....The story's circular structure and repeated refrain will appeal to young children, as will Krug's soft, colorful oil paintings. The illustrations are a perfect complement to the text, offering visual cues to explain each character's silly suggestion. For example, after Bear claims to sleep on cookies, youngsters see him enjoying a plate of cookies with Pig. Thick white borders with soft edges frame the pages as the animals share their list of likes, while full spreads in real-time settings fill the entire page as each one cries, "'No, silly!'" A winning book for preschoolers and their families.
– School Library Journal
Each section of this concept picture book offers three plausible behaviors ("I like to sleep in my bed. I like to sleep in my dad's big chair. I like to sleep in my mama's lap") and one absurd conclusion ("And I like to sleep on cookies"), allowing for a happy correction ("No, silly! You eat cookies"). The book moves through eating, reading, and riding, and it finally heads off to bedtime—with one last misstep: "And then I like to put Mama and Dad to bed. No, silly . . . Mama and Dad put you to bed." This draws on the classic little-kid-friendly joke of subverting the known with an obvious mistake...the audience will be happy to chime in on the "No, silly!" refrain. The oil-painted illustrations make a new animal the subject of each sequence with the soft, toylike bear sharing his cookies with a cheerful piglet, who becomes the hero of the eating sequence and passes the baton to a mouse, who moves on to a bunny; the bedtime sequence then cycles through all four animals...

Lambert Jackson Productions have announced that their production of Jason Robert Brown's musical will transfer to the Vaudeville Theatre from the 9th February.

Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main point of the passage?
Max on August 15, 2019
I am confused as to why answer choice E is incorrect. I initially interpreted the general principle that no true work of art is obscene as a premise for the senator's conclusion that there is no conflict between the need to encourage free artistic expression and the need to protect the sensibilities of the public from obscenity. This conclusion would not follow from this premise because there is no guarantee that encouraging free artistic expression would always result in true works of art. I viewed the senator's justification of his principle in the face of the counterexamples as irrelevant because the counterexamples discuss well-known works, which are not works of art per se. I chose E because I thought that the senator was trying to justify a position (what I perceived as his conclusion) by appealing to an irrelevant premise. Why is this reasoning incorrect, and how can we be sure that no true work of art is obscene is the senator's conclusion despite the word thus in the second line?
Meredith on September 5, 2019I also had marked "no conflict" as the conclusion ... how is that not the conclusion of the argument?
Cooper on August 31, 2020I also am wondering this

Crystal Diner (Edgewater Park)
Recently I stopped by the Crystal Diner in Edgewater Park, NJ. The Crystal Diner has recently gone through a management change, including a new name, and since I needed a new diner, it made it an easy pick.
I wasn't sure what to expect, as it was new. I had driven by before when it was under its old name, and it looked like a decent diner, smaller but not bad.
Crystal Diner (Edgewater Park) Atmosphere: B
There is nothing about the exterior Crystal Diner that screams diner. It's a normal cobblestone building.
The interior is smaller with several booths and a full-length bar. It is the stereotypical, small diner, but you would never know from the outside! It's a clean restaurant, but it's not a big, shiny, building and with so many chrome diners along the same road, it doesn't stand out.
Crystal Diner (Edgewater Park) Coffee: A
The coffee at the Crystal Diner (Edgewater Park) was brewed fresh, and the waitress made sure it was refilled. It was the local Lacas blend, and I have no complaints.
Crystal Diner (Edgewater Park) Service: B
The waitress was either young or new, but she was extremely enthusiastic. She was friendly, came to our table often, and made sure food came out quickly. Even though she was new and intense, she was friendly, and everything came out quickly.
Crystal Diner (Edgewater Park) Food: C
The Crystal Diner menu has everything a Jersey diner usually does: breakfast, lunch, and many different options from steak to seafood.
I noticed the Crystal Diner (Edgewater Park) had a hummus appetizer and we decided to order that to start. I overheard the manager telling our waitress they no longer serve it, so I guess they haven't changed the menus from the old diner.
The meal came with good cheesy bread. Any diner with a cheesy bread basket already starts on the right foot.
I ordered a burger which came with fries. The burger was average, nothing unique or unusual but nothing terrible either. It was average. The French fries were from the frozen food aisle.
In all, my meal at the Crystal Diner (Edgewater Park) was extremely average. Not the worst, not the best.
Cost: $
For my coffee and meal, the cost was $11, which was about average.
Summary/Would I come back to the Crystal Diner (Edgewater Park)?
The Crystal Diner isn't a bad option and has a lot of different options. It's not my favorite local diner, but not my least favorite either. As I mentioned, the Crystal Diner (Edgewater Park) is another NJ diner. The waitress was better than average, though.
Atmosphere: B
Coffee: B
Service: A

'American Gangster' lawyer pleads guilty to stealing from clients
Richard "Richie" Roberts, a former attorney whose role as a narcotics detective was featured in the film "American Gangster," pleaded guilty Tuesday to stealing from clients of his law firm.
Roberts, 81, pleaded guilty to perjury and theft on the second day of his trial, the state Attorney General's Office said in a statement. He admitted he stole $20,000 in client funds from his law firm's attorney trust account, using the money to make alimony payments.
"Instead of upholding the law and acting with honesty and integrity, as was his duty as an attorney, Roberts stole funds from his clients," Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said in the statement. "He betrayed his oath and the clients who trusted him."
Roberts and his attorney could not be reached for comment.
Prosecutors said that between October 2012 and August 2013, both Roberts and Gerald Saluti Jr. — a former attorney who pleaded guilty in February and was on the witness stand Tuesday — plotted to steal more than $140,000 from four clients of their firm, whose funds had been placed in its attorney trust account.
Roberts and Saluti were indicted in 2017 and offered a plea bargain of three years in prison.
The perjury charges relate to allegations that Roberts and Saluti lied to authorities and testified under oath that the administrator for their firm, Gabriel Iannacone, was the only one responsible for the misappropriation of client funds from the attorney trust account. Iannacone pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit theft. He later died.
Saluti, 49, of Howell, was disbarred by the state Supreme Court in 2017 for ethics violations, which included failure to safeguard client funds, gross neglect and lack of diligence.
When Roberts appeared in Superior Court in Morristown in February, he said he was not guilty.
"I am not pleading guilty to anything," Roberts said at the time.
Roberts worked for the Essex County Prosecutor's Office and federal Bureau of Narcotics before becoming an attorney and going into private practice.
The 2007 film "American Gangster" depicted the criminal career of Frank Lucas, a gangster who smuggled heroin into the United States on American service planes returning from the Vietnam War. Russell Crowe played Roberts in the film.
As part of the plea agreement, Roberts, a resident of Woodland Park, could be given up to 364 days in county jail when he is sentenced on Aug. 29. Saluti is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 5.


text: Home > Dinner > Chicken Larb Chicken Larb April 25, 2020 | 8 Comments SAVE TO RECIPE BOX Jump to Recipe This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy. Easy Thai Chicken Larb is a made with ground chicken, garlic, ginger, lime, and plenty of fresh herbs. Served over coconut lime rice or in lettuce wraps, this meal is nutritious and easy to make. This sweet and spicy dish can be ready in about 30 minutes or less and will be a hit with the whole family! What is Chicken Larb? Larb Gai is a traditional dish from Thailand and Laos that is basically a meat salad. It's featured on Thai restaurant menus and is a popular street food dish. Larb is made with ground chicken or pork and flavored with lime, garlic, chili peppers, palm sugar, fish sauce, and rice powder. It's an explosion of flavor with spicy, sour, sweet, and salty notes in every bite. Larb is usually served with sticky rice, lettuce, and lots of fresh herbs. This Chicken Larb I'm sharing today is not an authentic version, but rather a quick, 30-minute, weeknight meal that still has all the great flavors and textures you love. While authentic larb can be a time consuming labor of love, and not a weeknight-type recipe, now you can have Chicken Larb whenever the cravings strike! To make this recipe more accessible and easy, I've replaced the fish sauce with soy sauce (a more readily available ingredient in most kitchens), replaced the typical ground chilies with chili sauce, and left out the toasted rice powder. How to eat Chicken Larb In lettuce wraps: One of our favorite ways to serve Chicken Larb is in a wrap. Start with some Boston or butter lettuce and pile in the coconut rice, larb mixture, herbs, and a quick cucumber salad. As lettuce wraps, this makes a fun appetizer; serve it potluck style and encourage guests to layer up their wraps! With sticky rice: Traditional Larb Gai is served with sticky rice and fresh lettuce leaves intended for layering and wrapping. For sticky rice, try this recipe. In a bowl: It's easy to create a bowl meal — place the coconut lime rice as the base, add the larb on top, layer on the herbs, and top with the cucumbers. You can also add some quick pickled red onions for another bowl element. Over cauliflower rice: For a lower carb meal, replace the coconut rice with cauliflower rice, or enjoy the larb on lettuce wraps without any rice at all. In a salad: Layer chopped lettuce with the larb, herbs, and a few more veggies (like cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced sweet peppers, or red onions). Squeeze a few lime wedges over everything and add a drizzle of olive oil and rice vinegar. Sprinkle some crushed peanuts for garnish and use a microplane to grate a bit of lime peel. Chicken Larb FAQs1What does larb taste like?Chicken Larb should be ever-so-slightly sweet, have a touch of spice, and have a hit of acid from the lime. Larb is intended to be spicy but doesn't have to be overly so. We only add in 1 tablespoon chili paste and my kids inhale this, but if you aren't feeding kids and/or like things a little spicier, you may want to increase the amount of chili paste. Chicken Larb also is a lighter dish; it should feel nutritious and nourishing, especially with all the herbs and fresh ingredients in there. It should taste fresh and bright and deliver a myriad of textures. I've also added a quick cucumber topping, which further flavors the dish and adds a nice soft crunch while bringing together all the flavors and textures. 2Is larb served hot or cold? Traditionally larb is served hot — right after it is done cooking. That said, many restaurants serve larb cold or at room temperature in a salad-type dish or for salad wraps. We like it served hot; as soon as it's done! 3Is larb gluten free?This larb can easily be made gluten free by swapping in coconut aminos for the soy sauce. Check to be sure all the products you use are in fact gluten free and not manufactured in a facility that contains gluten. (Here's a guide for specific gluten free brands). Variation ideas Add fish sauce: A splash or two of fish sauce will accentuate the Thai flavor. Spice levels: Start with 1 teaspoon of the chili sauce and increase from there, going slowly if you're sensitive to heat. You can also try Sriracha® in place of the chili sauce (Note that a lot of the flavor in this dish does come from the chili sauce). Swap the meat: I have personally only tested this recipe with ground chicken, but I think ground pork would work well in its place. You can also try ground turkey, but you may need to slightly increase the amount of sauce. Bulk up with veggies: I love bulking up recipes with extra veggies (not only does it make it more nutritious, but it also saves money!). So, while not fully authentic, you could add some finely diced mushrooms, carrots, and bell peppers to the larb mixture. If you add a lot, you'll likely want to increase or double the sauce. Quick tips Don't overcook the ground chicken. Just as chicken breasts can get very dry when overcooked, so can ground chicken. Stop cooking when it's no longer pink and has turned white. Stir and break up the chicken constantly while cooking it. Drain off any liquid. Before adding the sauce, make sure to drain off any liquid that has accumulated while cooking the chicken to avoid a soggy and bland Chicken Larb. QUICK TIP Aim to use dark meat ground chicken. Most of the fat in chicken is in the dark meat; the lighter the color of the ground chicken, the lower the fat content. Lower fat meat means it will dry out quicker and faster and taste drier when cooked.

Combine 1 cup basmati rice, 1 and 1/2 cups full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste). Stir and place over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the rice. Allow to simmer for 13-18 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, keep covered, and let stand for 10-15 minutes; don't rush or it will be sticky! Fluff the rice with a fork and then add in the zest and juice of one lime. Stir and evenly divide onto plates.SAUCE: In a small bowl, whip together the sauce ingredients: add the 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon lime zest, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon Sambal Oelek (See Note 1), 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste; it will depend on the saltiness of the soy sauce, but note that ground chicken does need a good amount of seasoning). Stir to combine.TOPPINGS: Prep the toppings next: thinly slice the Persian cucumbers and place in a medium-sized bowl. Add the 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the cucumbers. Stir and give the mixture a few more stirs while cooking the ground chicken. Give the herbs a quick coarse chop and place in a bowl (See Note 2).LARB MEAT: Finally, prepare the meat portion. Add 1 and 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil to a large cast-iron skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add in the 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, and 1 cup of thinly sliced green onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until fragrant and tender. Add in the ground chicken. Make sure to really break up the ground chicken with a wooden spoon so there are no large clumps. Sauté for 7-9 minutes (breaking up/stirring almost constantly) or until mostly cooked through and white all over. Drain off any accumulated liquid and return the skillet to medium-high heat. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (no pink remains) and the sauce coats everything. Remove from heat.SERVE: Serve appetizer style with lettuce leaves, larb meat, coconut lime rice, a bowl with the herbs, and cucumbers. Either layer everything in a bowl or on a plate (coconut lime rice, larb meat, chopped herbs, cucumbers) or fill up lettuce wraps. Enjoy immediately. Recipe NotesNote 1: Sambal Oelek: The Sambal Oelek adds a lot of flavor and is fairly spicy. If you're sensitive to heat, start with 1 teaspoon of the sauce and increase from there. You can also try Sriracha sauce in place of the chili sauce. (Note that a lot of the flavor in this dish does come from the Sambal Oelek, so if you leave it out, the flavor will reflect that.) Note 2: Herbs: The mint, cilantro, and basil add so much to this dish, but if you prefer, use a combination of two of the herbs instead. I like serving the herbs on the side so everyone can add as much as they want. Note 3: Recipe adapted from "Cooking without Recipes" from BonAppetit.

text: The Focus team just had a jaw-dropping, mind-boggling and awe-inspiring (ok ok, i\u2019ll cut short the superlatives here!) offsite camp at Rishikesh. However, there is one experience which stood apart from the rest\u00a0 --the renowned White-water Rafting experience of the vibrant Ganges in this part of the world. Gushing forth from the glaciers of Gangotri, the Ganges is very much in her glorious teenage years by the time she enters Rishikesh \u2013she\u2019s playful, she\u2019s passionate and her colourful antics come alive in the roaring white water rapids that we encountered. Be it the wily \u201cRoller-Coaster\u201d, the aptly named \u201cDouble trouble\u201d or the \u201cGolf-Course\u201d (smooth one, did you say?), these rapids immersed us (literally!) in a breathtaking ride. Along the way, this adventure sport of White Water Rafting taught us several lessons of team-engagement. \tNo free riders: Everyone rows \u2013no exception! Imagine the morale of a team where everyone is working hard to keep the raft afloat and one or two members decide to just rest their oars and watch the scenery! Back at the workplace, it is no different. Every member has to contribute, no dead-weights can be permitted. \tIn-Sync On-Time: All members have to row in a synchronized manner, their oars moving back n forth precisely in the same rhythm; otherwise the efforts go wasted as many oars will clash with each other instead of battling the waters outside and the raft can quite comically, spin around in circles \u2013 a powerful metaphor to depict how individual members acting in their own self-interest can subvert the team goal and not permit their team to actually go anywhere. In this context, we take the liberty of modifying an age-old clich\u00e9\u00a0 \u201cunited we float, divided we drown\u201d! \tPosition your players correctly: Before we begin rowing, the instructor sizes up each individual and depending on his\/her physical structure, decides the seating arrangement within the raft. This is extremely critical to ensure correct balance of the raft as well as its efficient maneuverability. \u00a0Similarly, without compromising the overall team objective, you want your best players to perform at their peak level and not downplay their strengths. This is where effective role-delegation comes into the picture to balance and yet accelerate the team\u2019s performance. \tNo lasting change possible without conflict: There are occasions when the raft is required to turn direction quickly, that will require one side of rowers to either stop rowing or row in opposite direction to the other side of raft. Without this seemingly direct conflict, no change of direction can happen. \u00a0How often do we encourage conflict (or atleast a tough dialogue) within the team while taking an important decision? If all members are aligned to the overall team goal, such a tough dialogue (while painful in the short term, since some people or functions will certainly get affected) will definitely bring about greater conviction in the engagement of this team with outside circumstances. \tStay the Course: in other words, keep the faith. Whatever, be the outside distractions and turbulent situations (and the icy cold Ganges trying to dislodge you from that raft, ranks right up there!), a disciplined team will only become stronger and more determined to stay the course, as long as they keep the faith in the team goal and their leader. \tRealize \u201cthe Power of Now\u201d: Eckhart Tolle must have had some experience of White Water Rafting to author the afore-mentioned book, for this sport unlike any other, forces every team member to live-in-the-moment, not dwell on any regrets of the past or anxieties of the future \u2013just be present in the \u2018present\u2019 and live out that moment to its fullest. Needless to say, such a team will deliver peak-level performances at almost every occasion. So the next time you consider an outdoor offsite, just go with the flow of White Water Rafting! Are there lessons for your team from Rafting as well as other Adventure sports? Do share your thoughts.\u00a0

At July's Cabinet meeting, members approved a report from scrutiny Councillors on ways in which the Borough can tackle envirocrime – such as graffiti, fly-posting and fly-tipping – and help to restore civic pride and a sense of community spirit.
The report from the (former) Environment and Regeneration Overview & Scrutiny Panel looked at how the Council can work in partnership with local people to tackle envirocrime. Council officers are now looking at ways to put the reports recommendations, which include those below, into practice.
Merton is already doing a great deal in tackling envirocrime and the scrutiny Councillors thinks it can go further, by learning from other Boroughs and sharing good practice. Examples of this include:
· Lewisham has over 700 street leaders who act as 'eyes and ears', reporting envirocrime to the Council but also going further in helping to clean-up and clear-up. This is an extended version of Merton's successful scheme currently in operation in St Helier.
· In Bexley, some 80 litter pickers regularly pick rubbish from the streets and parks
· In Croydon, local people can bid into a pot of £250,000 for trees, benches, anti-graffiti trellises and other ways of brightening their neighbourhood
· And in Merton itself, graffiti clean-up blitzes, Wandle river clean ups and the tree warden scheme
Chair of the former Environment & Regeneration panel, Cllr John Nelson-Jones, who led the report, said:
'The residents' and ward surveys carried out by the Council have all shown the importance to local people of tackling envirocrime. Their top concerns are fly-tipping, fly posting and graffiti – all things that make a place look run-down and make local people feel their neighbourhood is neglected, untidy or unsafe.
'This report is about learning from ourselves as much as others – equipping and encouraging local people to take control of their neighbourhoods. There is a real opportunity to make a difference to the quality of the local environment."
