I started this story about 6 times. I had no idea where to start? I think this is because I never really thought of myself as a problem
I wasn’t sat at home drinking a bottle of wine a night when the kids went to bed. I never had a rock bottom. I could quite happily go without alcohol for a couple of weeks at a time, so surely there was no issue?
Looking back I was definitely a classic tick all the boxes, ladette binge drinker.
When I was on a night out I was out, out, with no stop button. I wasn't a mum for the night and I would quite happily drink 6/7 pints on a night out with no food on my stomach.
I was never a horrible nasty drunk,I just became louder and louder and spent most of the evening loudly talking over people and not listening because I was the entertainment right?
The problem was the older I got,the more nights I just wouldn’t have a clue how I got home. Waking up the next day with sick in a carrier bag by the side of my bed (classy) Checking messages to see if I’d sent anyone a
My decision to take a break came after a friend's birthday night out. We had gone out for a meal and drinks in between lockdowns (the time we could go out as a 6) I had been working since 6am and walked through the door at 6 pm, threw my clothes on (no food on my stomach), and headed out. That night I had a bit of tapas and 7 pints of strong lager, I woke up the next day not having a clue how I got home and I felt horrendous.
I’d had enough.I was bored of the hangovers, bored of the booze, and bored of not remembering how the hell I got home.
I’d been listening to an alcohol-free podcast on the way to work (over the Influence) so the idea was most definitely on my radar.
On that Saturday morning, I challenged myself to 90 days Alcohol-Free,which would include Christmas.
The first month or so was tough.
I totally emersed myself in quit lit, podcasts, Instagram accounts, and tried all of the different AF lagers.
Basically, anything I could get my hands on to help me get my head around my new Alcohol-Free life.
I then joined in with the Over The Influence motivational zooms, and met like-minded people who understood the feeling of completely going against everything society tells us to do.
I'm celebrating 6 months AF this week (mid-March) and I have never been happier.
The clarity of mind I now have is unbelievable, and I’m more present for everyone around me.
I wake up every morning with a huge smile on my face, fresh as a daisy and ready to start a new day.
Don’t even get me started on the absolute joy of hangover-free weekends!!
I have more time than ever, and have taken up my new hobby of Wild Swimming in rivers lakes and the sea.
My new challenge is 365 days Alcohol-Free.
Will I ever drink again? Never is a long time to get my head around.
Well you can’t swim in a lake watching the sunrise over your head with a hangover now can you?

I've hired a lot of people over the years, more than I can count, but the one constant in all that hiring is a simple question: Are we taking too long to hire?
Yes, I've been accused of that before, especially when I was recruiting journalists for a newspaper in Hawaii, a place that people suddenly got cold feet about when they had to consider living and working there rather than just dropping in for a vacation. Corporate types 6,000 miles away never seemed to understand that.
I've also been accused of hiring too fast when it was clear that the very first candidate interviewed for a position was by far the best choice. Many people don't believe that ever happens. Their view is that unless you're interviewing lots of people and digging through an endless stack of resumes that you're not really doing your job.
A recipe for losing your best candidates
I bring this all up because of a great little survey from Robert Half, the staffing firm that largely specializes in accountants and financial professionals, with a simple premise -- Are You Taking Too Long to Hire?
As the Time to Hire survey points out:
Hiring is one of the most important decisions any organization makes. But stretching out the process can cause good companies to lose out on the best candidates."
The survey data does a good job of supporting that premise.
- For almost six in 10 workers (57 percent), the most frustrating part of the job search is the long wait after an interview to hear if they got the job.
- Nearly one-quarter (23 percent) lose interest in an organization if they don't hear back within one week after the initial interview; another 46 percent lose interest if there's no status update from one-to-two weeks post-interview.
- When faced with a lengthy hiring process, 39 percent of survey respondents lose interest and pursue other roles, while 18 percent decide to stay put in their current job.
- Nearly one-third (32 percent) said a protracted hiring process makes them question the organization's ability to make other decisions.
How long is too long to hire?
That last point is an important one, according to Paul McDonald, senior executive director of Robert Half:
The hiring process provides a window into the overall corporate culture. If people feel their career potential will be stifled by a slow-moving organization, they will take themselves out of the running."
Of course, all of this discussion about taking too long to hire raises a question: What is the proper time frame to make a hiring decision, and what is considered too long? According to the survey:
- From the day of the initial interview to the day an offer is extended, the largest percentage of workers – 39 percent – said a process lasting 7-14 days is too long.
- One quarter of the survey respondents (24 percent) felt a time frame of 15-21 days was too lengthy.
Yes, hiring is one of the most important decisions a company makes, and as the survey analysis notes, "the risk of making a mistake causes some firms to draw out the process, adding days or weeks until a final decision is reached. But doing so often results in losing top candidates and starting the search over from scratch. "The key takeaway is for firms to tighten their timelines without skipping steps," McDonald said.
(Editor's note: The Talent Insider blog is fueled by Checkster, and Checkster offers a number of nifty tools to help speed up and improve the hiring process, including the Reference Checkup and Interview Checkup.)
Getting a message you didn't mean to send
My take: Hiring is about getting the best people, yet at far too many companies, the internal systems for doing that get in the way of actually finding and landing them.
The Robert Half Time to Hire survey reminds us again that candidates aren't willing to wait too long for a company to make up their mind, and given that we're in an economy that continues to slowly improve, people have a lot more options and job possibilities than they had even two or three years ago.
If you leave candidates hanging and don't get back to them in a timely manner, you will not only hurt your ability to hire people now, but you'll send a larger message out about your organizational culture that can be terribly damaging long-term.
My experience is that candidates will stick with you as long as you are regularly communicating with them and helping them to understand where you are in the hiring process -- and where they stand as well.
I say this a lot, but it bears repeating: A new job and new company should be at it's very best when you are at the beginning of the relationship. If it's not great then, it probably never will be. if you leave would-be employees hanging when they're talking with you about a job, don't be surprised if they hear a message in that you never really intended to send.

Six of the best
Reader’s Comment of the Week
In response to Rev Jules Gomes: Welby proves a wolf in shepherd’s clothes as he devalues marriage, Bogbrush wrote:
“The guy’s a fraud. He no more believes in the virgin birth, or the resurrection, or bringing Lazarus back to life, or the water-to-wine stuff than I do. However, unlike him I’m an avowed atheist and don’t make my living dressing up to look like an anorexic Demis Roussos and mouthing platitudes at people.
You’re all mad to listen to the guy, he’s a nobody. Dr Gomes captures the true value of aspirational lifestyles in this article and though I don’t share his opinion of the spiritual dimension, I – as usual – find myself in total agreement with what he says.”
TCW Hero of the Week
TV baker and national treasure Mary Berry has proved her loyalty by not deserting her broadcasting home at the BBC.
Furthermore, Mary has shown impeccable manners this week by saying that the Great British Bake Off will still be “successful” without her.
Unlike most of the people who grace the BBC’s screens, she does not virtue-signal but she just gets on with her job, baking cakes and reflecting on the importance of family. She is certainly no sell out.
TCW Villain of the Week
Labour’s Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has reminded us why he is a genuinely nasty piece of work whilst being paraded at this week’s Labour Party Conference.
The grimmest highlight of his week was refusing to retract comments he made about calling for former Tory MP Esther McVey to be “lynched”. McDonnell ‘justified’ his disgusting words by saying “sometimes it is better to be honest with people about how you feel”.
And to think he is being made a Privy Counsellor. Her Majesty should not even let him through the gates…
Best of the rest

Man who slept through trial back in court for sentencing
Chase Heath of Newark received 47 months in prison for receiving stolen property and tampering with evidence
- Chase A. Heath was found guilty by a jury on March 27 for tampering with evidence and receiving stolen property
- He was found not guilty of breaking and entering and theft
- Heath failed to show for the second day of his jury trial and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
- Heath received 47 months total in prison on Monday and may serve up to three years of post release control.
COSHOCTON - A Newark man who overslept and failed to show for the second day of his jury trial was back in court this week for his sentencing.
On March 27, Chase A. Heath, 30, was found guilty by a jury on one count of tampering with evidence, a third-degree felony, and one count of receiving stolen property, a fourth-degree felony. He was found not guilty on one count of breaking and entering, a fifth-degree felony, one count of theft, a first-degree misdemeanor, and one count of theft, a fifth-degree felony, in the split verdict.
When he returned to Coshocton County Common Pleas Court to face Judge Robert Batchelor, Heath apologized for missing the hearing. He said he overslept and when he called into the court later he was told a warrant had been issued for his arrest. He then took time for personal affairs and was not arrested and taken into custody until May 5. He's been held at the Coshocton Justice Center without bail since that time.
Batchelor gave Heath 30 months in prison for the tampering with evidence charge and 17 months for the receiving stolen property charge to be served consecutively for an aggregate term of 47 months. He was granted 81 days of jail credit for local incarceration. He could serve up to three years of optional post release control.
Defense attorney Jeffrey Mullen argued for concurrent sentencing, stating the way evidence was presented at trial and how the jury rendered its verdict would lead the charges to be part of a continuous course of conduct. However, Batchelor found the charges to be from distinct events. Batchelor also mentioned Heath's past criminal history in his ruling, including felony convictions from Licking County Common Pleas Court for domestic violence and theft.
In September, Heath was indicted in relation to three crimes from August that allegedly connected him to a local burglary ring. The crimes included the theft of a pickup truck and utility trailer from the Newark area, burglary of storage units in the 32000 block of U.S. 36 in Warsaw and theft of a pop machine from a business in the 17000 block of Ohio 60 in Dresden.
Brothers Richard, Glenn and Joshua Hunley were also indicted relating to the August crimes. Richard was sentenced to 18 months in prison in February. Glenn changed his pleas to guilty on all counts on April 2 and Joshua did the same on May 15. Sentencing dates have not been sent for them.
Deputies with the Coshocton County Sheriff's Office spotted a pickup truck reported stolen from the Newark area on property owned by the Hunley family on Perry Township Road 411. This led to a search warrant and the discovery of stolen items.
While officers were on scene, Heath drove up in a black Dodge Neon with Richard and Glenn as passengers. Stolen items were also found in the vehicle. The vehicle was not registered to Heath, but during the trial the prosecution argued finding personal mail that appeared to have been in the car for some time based on condition would indicate Heath was in possession of and using the vehicle.
In a video interview shown to the jury, Heath said the Hunleys had picked him up and he agreed to drive as they were tired. He denied involvement in or knowledge of the burglaries and thefts.

Human Systems Constellations Centre
The training at Human Systems Constellations Centre, within EAPTI-GPTIM, is an opportunity to experience a therapeutic approach of working with human systems constellations and the hidden laws and dynamics, which operate within those systems. This approach was originated by Bert Hellinger and then developed by various practitioners internationally: Hunter Beaumont, Guni Baxa, Francesca M. Boring, Albrecht Mahr, Gunthard Weber and Ursula Franke among others.
The aims of training are to help participants understand the underlying dynamics operating in human systems, experience phenomena of possible resolution to the symptom presented, learn how to diagnose and intervene independently within the system being explored.
Training is organised to meet the needs of persons with various levels of experience: for psychotherapists and practitioners in other helping professions.
It is the responsibility of participants to limit the application of this approach to those clients and situations for which they already have the appropriate qualifications. This training does not qualify participants to practise psychotherapy. It is suggested that participants belong to the respective professional association in the profession in which they are qualified and practise.
The certificate which will be issued is a certificate of participation only, which will be issued for every workshop attended. Certification for course completion will be issued on successful completion of 140hrs of training in not less than 2 years and fulfilment of other requirements as in the below.
Learning and Training are offered through:
Experience: with personal work and that of other trainees, where there will be opportunity to discuss and ask questions about the process of the work;
Written assignment of 5,000 words covering a chosen theme in an area related to the theory or methodology of systemic constellation work;
Supervision of practice: for participants who are interested in supervision and developing skills for their work as facilitator in this approach.
Constellations will be led by the teaching staff and senior practitioners, so participation in this course requires the candidate’s willingness for personal work which will be facilitated by other participants under supervision.

This page will show you some of the methods (and tricks) I use to remove oil stains from concrete.
All concrete is a little different. Some methods work better than others. Some methods have to be repeated multiple times.
It's a process that takes a little patience, but most of the time the oil can be removed from the concrete.
If you need to remove an oil stain from a concrete floor or driveway, I recommend using a process called bio-remediation.
There's no harsh chemicals involved, no pressure washing, and no protective equipment needed.
Bio-remediates are hydrocarbon eating bacteria that eat the oil and leave behind water and carbon dioxide.
This powdered cleaner is simply swept over the oil stain and then you let it do the work.
Cleaning the oil stain from the concrete in the picture above took just one application.
This process takes a couple days or more to work.
The above picture of the cleaned concrete was taken 11 days after the cleaner was applied to the oil stain.
Terminator-HSD concrete cleaner is what we use to clean oil stains from concrete driveways, garage floors, gas station pads, and parking lots.
Of all the other products and methods I've tried, Terminator's cleaner has worked the best.
It's also safe to use, no harsh chemicals, detergents or acids to deal with. Very safe for the environment and animals.
Terminator-HSD is basically a powder you sweep on the oil stain and leave it. The hydrocarbon eating micro-organisms do all the work for you.
The cleaner contains billions of microbes that eat oil, converting it to carbon dioxide and water. The microbes are safe for people and animals - basically they aren't interested in you or your pets.
Through this biological process, the stain fades away over time until it's gone. The microbes do need water, just like we do, but usually they draw it from nature.
You can manually add water to speed up the process by using a spray bottle.
Depending on how deep the oil stain is in the concrete, it might take a couple days, a week, or a month to completely clean all the oil from the concrete.
The best part is, the bacteria keep eating the oil, you just apply it and walk away.
The types of stains Terminator will clean off concrete:
In my opinion, It's one of the best. I like that I can apply it and walk away, then come back a few days later to check the progress.
Some other reasons I like to use it:
The manufacturer, Terminator-HSD, actually guarantees their cleaner will remove all the oil stain from the concrete or they will give you 100% of your money back.
Again, they give a 100% money back guarantee if you're not satisfied. I recommend you give it a try, it's cleaned oil from a lot of concrete driveways for me.
You buy this right from Amazon. Terminator-HSD
If I'm in a little more of a hurry and want to try to remove the oil "NOW" (in minutes or maybe an hour), the first thing I try is very HOT water and an alkaline degreaser.
Hot water will loosen up the oil (if it's dried on the concrete) and the degreaser will help emulsify it (break it up) and make it easier to rinse away, wipe, or vacuum up.
This method may take a few attempts to remove all the oil and it works best on oil stains that aren't too deep or too old.
I like to use ZEP Concrete cleaner and degreaser for this. You can get it local or on Amazon.
Pour some hot water on the oil stain and let it sit for a few seconds.
After 30 - 60 seconds, apply some degreaser and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Try rinsing the oil stain and see if it looks cleaner or if it's totally removed.
If you still see some oil, apply some more degreaser and repeat the process until the stain is removed.
A poultice will help remove stubborn motor oil stains from concrete.
You can make a poultice by either using granular cat litter, diamotaceous earth, or powdered laundry detergent and a liquid.
The liquid can be water, the degreaser we talked about above, or a solvent like acetone, xylene, lacquer thinner, or MEK.
Mix the dry material with the liquid (of your choice), into a paste and spread it over the oil stain.
Cover it with some plastic, a trash bag will do. You don't want it to dry out too fast.
As the liquid in the poultice evaporates, it will draw the oil out of the concrete and into the poultice.
Once it's completely dry, you can sweep it up and dispose of it.
It may take a few tries (try different combinations if you have to) but this method will draw out the oil to some degree and maybe all of it.
There is a product called Chomp Pull it Out Oil/Stain Remover For Concrete. It's basically a pre-made poultice in a bottle.
You Squeeze some of this on your oil stained concrete, let it dry into a powder and remove.
It pulls the oil out of the concrete into the poultice and cleans the concrete.
You can buy it on Amazon and it saves you from having to make a poultice from scratch.
If you just noticed a new leak under your car or truck and the oil is puddled, your best bet is to use an absorbent material like kitty litter or Oil-Dry.
If you don't have an indoor cat then it's a good idea to have a bag of OIL-DRY on hand just in case you notice some oil on your garage floor or your driveway.
As soon as you notice the oil, apply the Oil-Dry granules on the oil spill. The oil will start to immediately soak into the granules.
Slowly move them around the oil spill with a broom or brush until the granules are soaked with oil. Pick them up with a dust pan or sweep them aside for now.
Apply more Oil-Dry as needed to completely soak up all the spilled oil.
See the video below for a demonstration of this:
You can try a spray can of Carburetor cleaner or Brake cleaner and an absorbent material like kitty litter or Oil-Dry for spot cleaning.
I've used this method for fast spot cleaning. I found a video of this exact process, this isn't me in the video.
The guy in the video demonstrates it well though.
Check out the video below to see how this works.
A BOTTLE OF COKE:
I haven't personally used this method but I have seen it work.
Coke has carbonated water, phosphoric acid, and citric acid as three of its ingredients. These three ingredients help loosen up stubborn oil stains.
Try pouring some Coke on your oil stain, lightly scrub it around and then wipe it up.
You should be able to tell soon enough if this method will work or not.
Here is a video with someone using this process:
LIQUID CONTACT CLEANER:
For small spots of dried up oil that you want to clean in a hurry, try a can of liquid contact cleaner.
Spray the spot while lightly scrubbing it in. Work fast, this stuff evaporates quickly. Then wipe up the oil.
This method looks like it works very well.
Watch how Flip removes the oil stains from his concrete driveway:
If you try any of these methods for removing oil stains from concrete, please do so with caution.
I've used some of these methods but not all of them. Proceed at your own risk.
I wanted to supply you with enough information so you can make an educated decision as to what might work best for your situation.
Trying to remove oil stains from concrete is sometimes very easy and sometimes not so easy.
That's why I found multiple ways you can try, in case you have a difficult oil stain to remove.

President Donald Trump lashed out on Friday at Democrats who have questioned his handling of the coronavirus threat, calling their criticism a new “hoax” intended to undermine his leadership.
At a political rally in South Carolina, Trump sought to steal some of the spotlight from his Democratic rivals who were campaigning across the state on the evening before its presidential primary.
Trump accused Democrats of “politicising” the coronavirus threat and boasted about preventive steps he has ordered in an attempt to keep the virus that originated in China from spreading across the United States.
Shortly before Trump began to speak, health officials confirmed a second case of coronavirus in the US in a person who didn’t travel internationally or have close contact with anyone who had the virus. The president did not mention that news.
“They have no clue. They don’t have a clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa,” Trump said, referring to problems that plagued the Democratic vote in the Iowa caucuses February 3.
“They tried the impeachment hoax. … This is their new hoax,” Trump said of Democratic denunciations of his administration’s coronavirus response.
Some Democrats have said Trump could have acted sooner to bolster the US response to the virus. Democratic and Republican lawmakers also have said his request for an additional $2.5 billion to defend against the virus isn’t enough. They’ve signaled they will provide substantially more funding.
Trump said Democrats want him to fail and argued that steps he’s taken so far have kept cases to a minimum and prevented virus deaths in the US.
“A virus that starts in China, bleeds its way into various countries all around the world, doesn’t spread widely at all in the United States because of the early actions that myself and my administration took, against a lot of other wishes, and the Democrats’ single talking point, and you see it, is that it’s Donald Trump’s fault,” he said.
The president acknowledged the virus could lead to deaths in the US, but said, “We’re totally prepared.”
It was the fourth time Trump had rallied his supporters just before a state’s Democratic presidential nominating contest. He did so in Nevada last week even though Republicans had canceled their presidential caucus to show allegiance to Trump. Likewise, South Carolina GOP officials opted not to hold a primary this year. Trump also held rallies before the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary.
The North Charleston, South Carolina, crowd lapped it up when Trump sought their participation in an informal poll to determine which Democratic candidate would be the best opponent for him.
The crowd shouted for Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who was virtually tied in Iowa and won contests in New Hampshire and Nevada, and booed the mention of former Vice President Joe Biden.
“They think Bernie’s easier to beat,” Trump said.
Some state GOP leaders have urged Republican voters to participate in Saturday’s Democratic primary to vote for Sanders.
Unlike the three earlier voting states, South Carolina is not considered a swing state. Trump defeated Hillary Clinton there by more than 14 percentage points in 2016.
Following Saturday’s contest, more than a dozen states vote next week on Super Tuesday.
Trump arrived in South Carolina at the end of a brutal week for the stock market as investors reacted to the coronavirus threat. Stocks sank again Friday after another wild day on Wall Street, extending a rout that handed the market its worst week since October 2008, at the height of the financial crisis.
Trump has linked his presidency to the markets through tweets and speeches often taking credit for each new high in the markets. Now, Trump is trying to reassure Americans the economy is still strong while also theorizing that the Democratic candidates’ debate performances have spooked investors.
The virus has infected 83,000 people globally and caused about 2,800 deaths.

Can’t decide if you want chocolate mousse or cheesecake?
Make them both!
Chocolate Mousse piled on top of creamy New York style cheesecake
And if that is not enough it has loads of ganache icing and rum cake truffles!
All baked on top of a fudge brownie!
The Rum Cake Truffles are an optional garnish
I had some leftover cake scraps from my most recent recipe for Girl Scout Samoa Cake!
Ad you know you never throw out your cake scraps!
Obviously this is an extra step that is not needed for this chocolate mousse cheesecake, but I think I got a little bit carried away!
So will you when you taste this combination!
As with any over the top dessert like this one, you will have to prepare several recipes in advance.
In the video tutorial I show you step by step how to tackle this project to make your life easier in the kitchen.
Literally everything can be made several days ahead of time, so when you are ready to slap it all together it is a really fast assembly
Note for Success:
I only use Tofutti Cream Cheese for my BAKED recipes. *not sponsored
I have not had success with any other brand in BAKED recipes.
For some reason the other more expensive brands I’ve tried have broken down into an oily mess when baked.
Cornstarch is a very difficult ingredient to measure consistently with a volume spoons measure
So while I list both measures below I cannot stress enough how the grams measure with a scale is going to give you the best results.
Many times people have complained that their cheesecake is like rubber and they don’t know why!
This is from a heavy measure of cornstarch when using volume measuring spoon vs the 100% accurate scale measure in grams.
For more of the best vegan cheesecake recipe click the links below!
You will notice I am also using the Plant Based Egg egg replacementin this recipe, and while it is not imperative, I do think it adds great body to the final texture and creaminess of the cheesecake. If you do not have it or do not want to buy it, you can leave it out and add 2 teaspoons more cornstarch.
The agar in this recipe is not essential, this is a very sturdy mousse for molding so if you do not have agar- you can totally leave it out and it will still be great, sliceable and durable!
- ½ Recipe Fudge Brownies *You can make the full batch but you only need 1-7" layer for this recipe
- 1 Recipe Ganache
- For the Cheesecake:
- Vegan Cream Cheese 16oz (226g)
- Melted Vegan Butter 2 tablespoons (28g)
- Sugar ¾ cup (150g)
- Cornstarch 3 Tbs (40g)
- All Purpose Flour 2 Tablespoons (15g)
- The Plant Based Egg 1 teaspoon (2.4g)
- Plant Milk 1 cup (8 fluid ounces)
- Vegan Lactic Acid 1½ teaspoons (or 1½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar)
- Salt ¼ teaspoon
- Vanilla Extract 2 teaspoons
- For the Rum Cake Truffles:
- Leftover cake scraps 2 cups
- Ganache ¼-½ cup
- Rum 3-6 Tablespoons
- Vegan Semi Sweet Chocolate tempered *Or non tempering chocolate 8 ounces
- For the Chocolate Mousse:
- Semi Sweet Vegan Chocolate 8ounces (226g)
- Hot brewed coffee 2 Tablespoons (30ml)
- Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon (5ml)
- Aquafaba *Chickpea Water from Canned Chickpeas ¼ cup (60ml)
- Agar powder ⅛ teaspoon *see note above
- Granulated Sugar 4 Tablespoons (50g)
- Cream Of Tartar ¼ teaspoon
- Coconut Milk Full Fat 1- 15ounce can (*refrigerated overnight)
- First prepare the brownie recipe as per the instructions on that blog post.
- If you made the full recipe, divide the batter in half and bake 1 half in a greased and parchment lined 7" cake pan.
- The other brownie batter can be baked as you wish 🙂 Get creative 🙂
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 18 minutes and meanwhile you can prepare the cheesecake batter.
- For the cheesecake combine all the ingredients together in a food processor or blender and process smooth
- Wait for the brownie to be done baking, and let it cool for about 30 minutes in the pan before pouring the cheesecake batter over top.
- Bake in a water bath in a preheated 350°F oven for 50 minutes.
- Turn off the oven, but leave the cheesecake inside to cool for another 50 minutes, then let it cool completely on the counter for about an hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight before unmolding.
- Prepare the Rum Cake Balls by combining the cake scraps, ganache and rum together in a large mixing bowl and mix just until everything is combined.
- Scoop balls onto parchment paper and then roll them to perfect shaped balls.
- Dip in tempered chocolate and refrigerate until needed
- For the Chocolate Mousse:
- Combine the hot coffee and the agar powder and whisk smooth. Keep it warm or the agar will set and you will have to remelt.
- Meanwhile open the can of coconut milk that has been refrigerated overnight and carefully scoop out the fat that is on top and place in a mixer with a whip attachment, use the coconut liquid for something else (like a smoothie or a recipe that calls for no fat coconut water)
- Whip the coconut cream to soft peaks and reserve in the refrigerator
- Melt the chocolate in a large bowl over a double boiler or in a microwave safe bowl
- Add the hot brewed coffee with the agar and the vanilla extract to the melted chocolate all at once while whisking vigorously to incorporate well.
- Add the reserved whipped coconut cream and whisk smooth
- Whip the aquafaba/agar with the cream of tartar to stiff peaks while adding the sugar slowly
- Take a small portion of the AF meringue and fold into the chocolate mixture to lighten.
- Fold in the rest of the AF gently
- Line a bowl that is 6" in diameter across the top with plastic wrap and pour the mousse into the bowl.
- Refrigerate until set - it will actually set within 30 minutes! (That agar is a dream!)
- Unmold the cheesecake, then the fully set chocolate mousse and assemble the cake as shown in the video tutorial
It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 10 days wrapped well to prevent drying out.
I do not like to freeze vegan cheesecakes, the texture changes to drastically

Raising awareness of health risks in the workplace
Health Risks at Work is a national campaign to inform and educate workers and their managers about some of the common health risks experienced in many workplaces.
Every organisation is invited to become involved in the Health Risks at Work campaign. They can identify, and manage, the common risks to health associated with work activities and pass information and support on to other organisations who could benefit.
The campaign is supported by
Many small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) don’t know all of the occupational health risks faced by their employees. The campaign aims to provide information, and tools to help businesses manage common health risks.
Poor working conditions can have a negative impact
It therefore makes good business sense for employers to protect the health and improve morale of their workforce.
The Introducing Health Risks at Work DVD is a 10 minute introduction to the topics covered by the campaign. It can be shared with employees and managers, and used in training sessions as a means of starting conversations about issues in your workplace.
Good work is good for health, but not all work is healthy. Work can have a negative physical and mental impact, on workers if they are exposed to substances or situations that are damaging.
These risks to health can be managed, and ill health prevented, if you identify sources of harm and implement measures to manage them. The campaign topics covered are
These pages and video links are designed to introduce you, and your workers, to common health risks. Each topic can be used separately to raise awareness of a specific risk in your workplace.
Healthy Working Lives have an online training course entitled Health Risks at Work to help managers understand in more detail
Go to the Health Risks at Work training course
By working through the online training and reading through the chapters of Health Risks at Work, many managers and individual employees will be able to find advice relating to their workplace.
If you find that you still have questions or require extra support, organisations based in Scotland can
message us or call our advice line on 0800 019 2211.

Arizona State volleyball (8-10, 1-6 Pac-12) came out the gate firing on all cylinders. Took advantage of USC (8-8, 4-3) miscues and found an early rhythm. The Sun Devils appeared to be headed toward a sweep, but it fell apart. USC rattled off three straight set wins to reverse sweep ASU and win 3-2 (19-25, 19-25, 25-13, 25-21, 16-14) on Friday.
“We started off really strong, I thought we were going to be done in three sets. But then the wheels just fell off,” Arizona State coach Sanja Tomasevic said. “I think in the first set [USC] made a lot of mistakes, and we let them get in a rhythm. Then the fifth set is always a game on its own, I think we had three missed serves and they had none. I’m proud of our girls, they keep fighting and we will get ours.”
The fifth set woes plagued the Sun Devils again. USC, which had all the momentum, took an early 7-3 lead. However, much like they have all season the Sun Devils fought, and Tomasevic came through with a successful challenge that reversed a game point for USC. Arizona State evened the score at 14, but the Trojans finally pulled away.
Marta Levinska and Iman Isanovic each hit really well and combined for 32 kills. The pairing and the rest of the Sun Devils will try to turn it around against UCLA on Sunday.

“I understand that President Toti is experiencing a moment of strong tensions: his movement no longer appears in the voting intentions of the Italians, the resounding defeat of Savona was followed by that of Ameglia where he resides with his right arm Giampedrone, in Spezia things they do not run as they should and the only things that Peracchini inaugurates, besides the works started by the mayors before him, are the Christmas lights ”. This is how Nanni Grazzini intervenes in response to the statements made by Giovanni Toti after today’s Ligurian regional council. “But if on the one hand I hope that the investigations, which in these days are reporting some national newspapers in relation to the foundation that financially supports the political initiatives of Cambiamo, will be concluded for the best – continues Grazzini – I cannot point out that in the end of the declaration of the president of the Liguria Region there are words that implicitly refer to the battle for the election of Silvio Berlusconi as President of the Republic. A declaration that, covertly, takes on a blackmailing value that says a lot about the attitude that Toti has towards the coalition parties and which have resulted in bringing Forza Italia to one and a half percent in Savona, after having reset the La Spezia city council of its municipal councilors. An engulfment that I will never be able to allow as long as I remain commissioner of Forza Italia at a time when polls show the party in double figures, encouraging our work ”.

A dream come true, these are the words of one John Githaiga after winning Sh505,692 on Odibets after an 11-team multibet prediction that sailed through.
A jovial Githaiga mentioned that he had predicted an over 2.5 goals for all the eleven matches in his bet slip.
“At first I thought I was dreaming when I saw the congratulations message on my phone, I had placed my bets two days in advance and hoped to win though I wasn’t sure if I would have won,” said an elated John as he spoke to journalists.
Githaiga, who boasts of having placed his bet via SMS, stated that he was going to better the lives of his family and expand his taxi business with his winnings.
“I placed my bet of 11 matches to end at over 2.5 goals each just for the fun of it as I am an ardent football fan and it went through much to my surprise,” said Githaiga as he received his cheque from Odibets lead bookmaker Daniel Macharia.
SMS betting is quickly gaining traction among punters in the country and this has seen betting firms venture into the SMS betting bandwagon and Odibets clearly has not been left behind.
Are you the next lucky winner? Procedure to place bets via SMS on Odibets:
First things first, you need to be registered with Odibets to place a bet via SMS. And this can as well be done online or using the SMS short code by provided by the company. You need to do the following;
SMS the word ODI to 29680 to register for an Odibets account. You will receive a message on your successful registration and how to activate your Odibets account.
How to place a bet via SMS on Odibets:
Mainly we’re talking of placing the normal 3 way bet which has the Home (1), Draw (X) and Away (2). The format for this is:
Game ID is the unique identifier of the game for instance for 40001 Man United vs Arsenal with ODDs (1 = 2.99; X = 3.52 2 = 2.99) to bet on this match for Manchester United you will place a bet as follows: –
SMS 40001#1#200 to 29680 where 200 is the total Stake and 1 for the home team.
The above are simple ways to get started on the SMS betting scene that is steadily becoming popular among punters in the country.

Township of Eastampton, NJ
Kim-Marie White plays a dual role in the government of Eastampton: As Township Manager, she oversees day-to-day government operations for their approximately 6,000 residents and 42 staffers, and as the Municipal Clerk, she makes sure the government is as transparent as possible.
Before NextRequest, public records requests in Eastampton were received via fax or email, logged, and forwarded to the correct department by hand. The departments would then pull the correct file folders, and deliver them to Kim-Marie, often missing deadline dates. Then, Kim-Marie and her deputy would have to locate the record within each folder and process the rest of each request themselves before moving on to the next one. This process hadn’t changed much in the 18 years since the Open Public Records Request Act was put into place in New Jersey, until Eastampton adopted NextRequest.
STREAMLINING WITH NEXTREQUEST
After seeing a demo at the International Institute of Municipal Clerks conference in Norfolk, VA, Kim-Marie and the Township of Eastampton made the decision to swap to NextRequest. They launched their portal on April 8, 2019, and it’s been a welcome change. “I love the redaction tool, and visualizing everything in the dashboard…. [it’s] very easy to use and I like to view everything in one place,” says White. In a small town with a small staff, NextRequest has greatly increased efficiency and freed up time for other tasks.

Thursday, 19th November 2015 @ 22:30
An incredible second half performance saw Harlequins score four tries in the second spell to remain perfect in the European Rugby Challenge Cup, running out 20-32 victors over Cardiff Blues.
After a slow start, the Londoners found themselves down 6-0 with 30 minutes gone as the hosts had all the territory. Ben Botica closed the gap to 6-3 as Harlequins got themselves back into the game but they went into half trailing by three.
Once again they proved rugby is a game of two halves as tries to Tim Visser, Ollie Lindsay-Hague and Charlie Walker gave them a comfortable lead. In a see-saw final ten minutes there was action at both ends of the park before Danny Care scored the bonus point try at the final whistle.
Both sides had recorded big wins in the opening round of the Challenge Cup last week but it was the home side that got on top early. All the rugby was played in Harlequins half to start the match and two Rhys Patchell penalties gave Cardiff a deserved 6-0 lead after half an hour.
Harlequins refused to alter their game plan however and they kept ball in hand for the majority of the half as they finally drove down field to set Botica up with a penalty, after earlier hitting the posts with an attempt.
Cardiff would feel hard done by with a close range try being denied in the first half but heading into the break with the score at 6-3 it was all to play for in Pool 3.
As they did versus Montpellier last Thursday Quins burst out of the blocks in the second spell. First with a second Botica penalty before Tim Visser intercepted a pass in the Cardiff half to go in under the posts almost untouched. Following the conversion, Harlequins suddenly led 6-13.
The lead was extended just two minutes later as the game began to open up. Botica found room down the right hand side and passed inside to Ollie Lindsay-Hague whose pace was unstoppable as he went over for a converted try as well.
Charlie Walker was the next of the Harlequins back three to score, this time a close range effort as Dave Ward and Danny Care combined well from a broken maul. Ward on as a replacement openside flanker after both James Chisholm and Jack Clifford went off in the first half (the latter to a nasty head knock).
With Harlequins ahead 6-25, and still 15 minutes to play, they went searching for their second bonus point in as many weeks. It was Cardiff however who would score next, starting off a frantic final ten minutes.
They first scored through a penalty try after Harlequins collapsed a maul close to the line, but as they looked to close the gap further Matthew Rees was shown a red card for a vicious stamp on Nick Easter.
One man down but Cardiff didn’t relent scoring through Sam Hobbs in the 79th which looked set to secure them at least a losing bonus point. Moments later however, Danny Care was in at the other end to not only stop the Blues from gaining the vital point, but securing an additional one for themselves in the process.
The Final score 20-32 as Harlequins fought back for a memorable win at Cardiff Arms Park with Dave Ward picking up the Man of the Match award for his unlikely turn as an openside.
Harlequins next face Exeter Chiefs away in nine days time before returning to The Stoop to face London Irish in what should be a memorable encounter. Tickets are on sale and can be purchased by clicking here.

Knitters Guild of Incline Village celebrates 10-year anniversary
TAHOE, Calif. – Started by a small group of women at St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church who enjoyed knitting and crocheting, the Knitters Guild of Incline Village celebrated its 10th anniversary.
Originally, these women met on an informal basis and visited with each other, sharing patterns and ideas.
Soon the group evolved into one that found pleasure in making warm clothing and blankets for families who needed them in Incline Village and the North Tahoe area.
“The Knitters Guild of Incline Village was formed and became an important part of the Outreach Program of the church,” explains Peggy Harrison, leader and one of the group founders. “It’s a win-win situation when a member takes pleasure in using her skills to help others. Anyone with basic knitting and crocheting ability is welcome to join the Guild, and if those skills need refreshing, we can help. Patterns, yarn and needles are always available.”
Most of the members live in Incline Village, and some women from Tahoe City and Truckee have also joined the Guild, which meets every Wednesday from 1-3 p.m. in the library of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church, 341 Village Blvd., Incline Village.
Several hundred items are handmade and donated to numerous organizations each year.
Tahoe Forest Hospital in Truckee receives layettes for newborns and blankets for long-term care patients; hats, sweaters, scarves and mittens. Other warm items are taken to the North Tahoe Family Resource Center in Kings Beach.
The American Cancer Society in Reno is grateful for chemo caps, made of very soft yarn for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
The Holiday Giving Program in Incline Village supports the Guild with an annual monetary donation that helps supplement the donated yarns, patterns and needles, and receives a broad variety of warm things for families in the community.
The Senior Center in Truckee is always pleased to receive blankets, slippers, lap robes, and such, and warm hats are supplied to the Incline Elementary School counselors for children who need them.
Guild members are also part of the Incline Village After-School Program as they teach knitting and crocheting at Incline Elementary School every Monday from 3-4 p.m. The students are willing and enthusiastic learners and the Knitting Club is a very popular after-school activity for both girls and boys!
For information contact Peggy Harrison at 775-831-9402.

In Java, Queues are used for pushing in data and retrieving it later. Queue follows the principle of FIFO i.e. First In First Out. In this article, we will discuss the most important methods of Java Queues and give a good amount of Java Queue examples to further the learning process.
How to use Java Queue: Examples
Queue is an ordered list of java objects where elements can be added at the end of the queue and removed from the first. The insertion order is not necessarily retained. Queue is an interface so to use the methods, we need a class that implements these methods. The most common classes that use Queue are LinkedList and PriorityQueue. To create a queue object, use the add method. To remove the head, we can use poll() or remove() methods. Here is a Java Queue example that shows adding and removing queue operations:
Queue<String> qSample = new PriorityQueue<String>(); //Lets add some elements qSample.add("one"); qSample.add("one"); qSample.add("two"); qSample.add("three"); qSample.add("four"); qSample.add("five"); System.out.println("Queue elements: " + qSample); System.out.println("initial Q size: "+qSample.size()); // view the head of the queue System.out.println(qSample.peek()); //view and remove the head of the queue System.out.println(qSample.poll()); System.out.println("q size: " + qSample.size()); System.out.println("Queue elements after removing head: " + qSample); //To remove a particular item, use the remove method System.out.println("Removing duplicate entry...." + qSample.remove("one")); // we can also remove the head using remove() without any parameter System.out.println("Removing head using remove()...." + qSample.remove()); System.out.println("Final Queue elements: " + qSample);
Note that we can do the same operations with LinkedList as well. Now, let us see how we can iterate through the Java Queue items.
qSample.add("six"); qSample.add("four"); qSample.add("five"); Iterator<String> qItr = qSample.iterator(); while(qItr.hasNext()) System.out.println(qItr.next());
Note that we have to import the following for the program to run:
import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.PriorityQueue; import java.util.Queue;
In this article, we have discussed the basic queue operations. Both PriorityQueue and LinkedList are not thread-safe, hence we can also use PriorityBlockingQueue, which is an unbounded Queue. Due to this, Blocking queues may throw OutOfMemory errors if the resources are exhausted.

Over the past few decades, baby boomer divorces have been increasing at an alarming rate – which is especially surprising given that divorce rates for the population as a whole have stabilized in recent years. In fact, according to a study by Bowling Green State University, divorce rates for couples over 50 have doubled in the last two decades. For example, less than one out of 10 people divorcing in 1990 were over 50-years-old – a rate that rose to one out of four by 2009.
By reviewing federal data from the American Community Survey in 2009, the study also discovered that over-50 divorce rates were highest among black couples and lowest among whites couples, with Hispanic couples being somewhere in the middle. Older divorcees were also generally less educated than couples who continued to be married, and those couples who had been married more than once had a 2.5 times higher divorce rate than couples in their first marriage.
One of the main reasons many attribute to this rise in baby boomer divorce rates is increased life expectancy. Many baby boomers reach retirement age and realize they are likely to live for another 25 years, at which time they begin to question whether or not they want to spend their remaining years with their spouse – especially since their children are generally grown and moved out long ago.
One problem that can arise with late-in-life divorces is that couples have acquired property and intermingled assets for decades, making property division much more complex than with a younger couple. For example, older couples may have multiple real-estate properties and retirement accounts – all of which need to be divided in a divorce. And as with any divorce, this process can get ever more difficult when emotion levels are riding high with the divorcees. An experienced attorney can help navigate through this difficult and complex process.

Why The Simpsons is so successful?
The strongest reason of The Simpsons success is the characters stereotyping and their immutability. Because of these elements, the characters are in the like of everyone who watches the show.
How does Gulliver’s Travels end?
Eventually Gulliver is picked up by an eagle and then rescued at sea by people of his own size. Gulliver in Brobdingnag, the land of giants. On Gulliver’s third voyage he is set adrift by pirates and eventually ends up on the flying island of Laputa.
Is Gulliver Travels is a real story?
So Gulliver’s Travels is a fictional tale masquerading as a true story, yet the very fictionality of the account enables Swift author to reveal what it would not be possible to articulate through a genuine account of the nation.
What is ironic about the Lilliputians feeding Gulliver?
6- What is ironic about the Lilliputians feeding Gulliver? –The Lilliputians are feeding Gulliver with massive quantities of food and drink. They are treating him like any other guest who might come to their island, despite his potential threat. They behave in a “civilized” manner toward him.
What does Dr Bates do to Lemuel’s Journal?
He throws the watermelon and nuts and everything on the table to hit Lemuel. Bates do to Lemuel’s journal? he burns it. What is Dr.
How does satire affect the reader?
Since a large purpose of satire in literature is to convey social commentary and/or criticism, this allows a writer to create awareness of issues and disparities in society. Satirical literature calls attention to these issues and can make readers aware of something they had not previously considered or understood.
Is The Simpsons anti religion?
The show has been both praised and criticized by atheists, agnostics, liberals, conservatives and religious people in general for its portrayal of faith and religion in society. The show can function as a mediator of biblical literacy among younger generations of irreligious viewers.
Is Swift a pessimist?
Yes, Swift is a pessimist. He has a pessimistic view of human kind in “Gulliver’s Travels” but not completely. He has a hope of betterment.
Why is The Simpsons satire?
By using incongruity, sarcasm, exaggeration, and other comedic techniques, The Simpsons satirizes most aspects of ordinary life, from family, to TV, to religion, achieving the true essence of satire. This quote is also comedic because it shows Homer’s stupidity.
Why is Gulliver’s Travels a satire?
Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels (1.2329–2473) is a masterpiece of satire, employing a range of satiric modes against a wide variety of targets. In Part 1, dealing with Lilliput, the satire is chiefly political. The Lilliputians’ bitter political controversies unmistakably mirror those of the British ruling class.
What does Gulliver learn from his travels?
Does he learn from his adventures? In desiring first to stay with the Houyhnhnms, then to find an island on which he can live in exile, Gulliver shows that his adventures have taught him that a simple life, one without the complexities and weaknesses of human society, may be best.
How does Gulliver try to show his intelligence and strength in Gulliver’s Travels?
He does this in two ways, first by comparing humanity’s ways with those of cultures decidedly beneath it (such as the Yahoos and the Lilliputians); second, by comparing humanity with cultures that are far superior in intellect and political ideals (such as the Houyhnhnms).

Breast Augmentation (Mammoplasty)
Breast augmentation surgery, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is the surgical placement of breast implants to increase fullness and improve symmetry of the breasts, or to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy.
What is breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation is the surgical placement of breast implants to increase fullness and projection of the breasts or to improve symmetry of the breasts.
Clinically referred to as augmentation mammaplasty, a breast augmentation procedure is used cosmetically to:
- Enlarge a naturally small breast, most commonly the result of heredity
- Restore breast volume lost following pregnancy, as a result of breast-feeding or due to weight loss
- Achieve better symmetry when breasts are moderately disproportionate in size and shape
- Enhance your self-image and self-confidence
- If you are dissatisfied with your breast size, breast augmentation surgery (either breast enhancement or breast enlargement) is a choice to consider.
- Breast implants also may be used for breast reconstruction after mastectomy or injury.
What breast augmentation surgery won’t do
Breast augmentation does not correct severely drooping breasts. If you want your breasts to look fuller and to be lifted due to sagging, a breast lift may be required in conjunction with breast augmentation.
Breast lifting can often be done at the same time as your augmentation or may require a separate operation. Your plastic surgeon will assist you in making this decision.
Why It Is Done ?
Breast enlargement surgery is done to increase the size of the breasts and enhance their shape. You may decide to get breast implants to:
- Enhance breasts you consider too small. The definition of what is “too small” (or too large, for that matter) varies from woman to woman. There is no universal standard below which breasts are considered too small. If you are content with the size of your breasts, then they are not too small.
- Restore the size or shape of the breasts after significant weight loss or pregnancy. A breast lift may be done at the same time as the enlargement in these cases.
- Make the breasts more evenly proportioned. In many women, one breast may be larger or sit higher than the other.
Breast implants may also be used to reconstruct breasts after surgery for breast cancer (mastectomy).
How Well It Works
Breast enlargement surgery can increase your breast size by one or more bra cup sizes. It can also reduce differences in size and shape between your breasts.
Breast implants will not prevent the breasts from sagging as a result of future pregnancy, weight gain or loss, or aging.
Most women who have breast implants will need at least one more implant surgery in their lives.
What To Think About
Newer silicone implants contain a gel-like material instead of a liquid. These types of implants do not leak if they are punctured or cut.
Most women who get breast implants are satisfied with the results. You are likely to be happy with the results if you have clear, realistic expectations about the surgery and share these with your doctor. Implants will make your breasts larger and perhaps give them a shape you are more pleased with, but no surgeon can guarantee perfection.
Also keep in mind that:
- Breast enlargements and lifts do not prevent changes in the breast that occur as a result of future pregnancies, weight gain or loss, or the force of gravity over time.
- Implants may later need to be surgically removed or replaced if they leak, rupture, wrinkle, change shape, or develop other problems. It is likely that you will have to have a second surgery at some point. Saline implants rupture at a rate of 1 out of 100 each year.1
- Some of the changes in the breast tissue and skin caused by implants are permanent. If you later have the implants removed, the breasts may have permanent wrinkles, dimples, or other changes.
Insurance will not cover the cost of breast implants unless they are being used as part of breast reconstruction after surgery for breast cancer. Likewise, insurance may not cover the costs of treatment for complications that arise during or after surgery or for future surgeries to remove or replace the implants. Check with your insurance company to find out whether getting breast implants will affect how much you pay for your insurance and what you are covered for.

I would like to add a ‘degree type’ (or some equivalent) field to the Thesis reference type, under the category of Bibliography. However, it is not listed as an available field in the Citation Style Editor.
Please can someone help?
I see the field "degree type" in the Thesis reference type, see the screenshot attached. Maybe it was added in the meantime?
Thanks very much for trying to help!
That is very interesting. So, I too can see the same screen as you when selecting reference type when creating an item. What I can't do however, is see those same fields when I find 'Thesis' in the Citation Style Editor (see attached).
Weirdly, the two are connected (I tried changing the letter case to uppercase on all thesis titles and this changed all references categorised as thesis in my library). My issue, then, is why certain fields appear when creating (and editing) an item but not in the Citation Style Editor?
P.s., I also cannot add the 'degree type' field in the Thesis reference type when in the Citation Style Editor.

The Rays lost. The Twins are on the verge. Things are starting to come into focus.
For once the division may offer some real, tangible spoils, and though we always preach “just make the playoffs” the Sox do have a 1-8 record against the Angels. Traveling on the road, cross-country, to face a well-rested Halos squad isn’t, perhaps, the best first round scenario. We understand the “be careful what you wish for” factor, but all things on paper being equal, the White Sox (and, of course, the Rays) are the target. Tonight the Sox send Tim Wakefield to the hill in Arlington, looking to clinch this series with the Rangers.
Chat away here.

I Can’t Tell You My Secret
If you have a secret sin
Take it with you to the grave.
Fight the urge to tell a friend..
The response you get you will not crave.
So you didn’t listen
Now your secret sin is out;
Now we know what you did
And what your secret was all about.
You should remember this old saw:
Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead.
Never let your secret out..
Keep it safe in your head.
If you lead an innocent life
And have no secret sins to hide..
Perhaps it’s time to spice it up
And trade it for a bumpy ride.
Councilwoman Sabo Must Reverse Vote Slashing Town Clerk Salary
The Executive Committee of the NGDC has voted unanimously to ask Councilwoman Sabo to take steps to restore the salary of the newly elected Town Clerk, Janice Kerwin. In four monthly reports Mrs. Sabo published in the Advertiser on Town Board meetings since her vote in December, not once did she inform the public of her vote to slash the salary of the new Town Clerk.
The Executive leadership acted after a Committee meeting in which Sabo was roundly criticized for voting with the Republican Majority to slash the salary of our Town Clerk taking $20,000 from her term. It was noted that in the meeting, Mrs. Sabo voted with Republicans in a clear act of retribution after the Republican candidate was defeated in the general election. No such effort was made to reduce the salary of the newly elected Town Supervisor.
The discussions also noted that Councilwoman Sabo signed the Designating petition of the Republican candidate for Town Clerk rather than her own party’s nominee. Yet if a Democrat fails to blindly support Mrs. Sabo they are called disloyal.
The Executive Committee is greatly disappointed that a member of our party would vote to punish our candidate for Town Clerk just prior to taking office on January 1st. All of the candidates running last year knew what the salaries were before making the decision to run. To change anyone’s salary after the election was inexcusable, regardless of political affiliation. This salary had been paid over a number of years in which the Republican clerk had could rarely be found in Town Hall. Our newly elected Town Clerk like most of us have bills to pay, including her daughter’s tuition at Siena College.
We therefore believe that Councilwoman’s Sabo should recognize this mistake and take the steps needed to restore the Clerk’s salary without delay .
Dan Ashley, Chairman, NGDC
I woke up this morning to the sounds of birds singing in the air
A certain sign that spring is finally here
The buds are on the trees
And my hair is moving in the direction of the lovely breeze
The flowers are starting to bloom
And my voice is singing a cheery tune
There’s a cute bunny in my yard every day eating the new grass
He’s totally unmoved by what’s come to pass
I hear children laughing and playing in my neighbor’s yard
They enjoy life without worry, I’m learning to do that too, and it’s not that hard
I see the beauty of the earth laid out before me
And I know that happiness is there and it’s totally free
The change of a season is a special time
And I’m confident that with the right perspective I’m doing fine
So I’m picking a daffodil out of the lawn and
Putting it in a vase on my dining room table
Every time I gaze at it I’m going to say, “I am able”
Then as I lay my head down each night to rest
I‘ll thank God that I’m truly blessed
Donna Masters, Troy
Days of Infamy and Lives Changed Forever
Many of our parents’ generation shared the horrible memory of Pearl Harbor that changed their lives forever.
People of my generation remember where they were the day that JFK was assassinated. (I was in Miss Conway’s 4th grade class at Colonie Village Elementary School).
Our children’s generation was devastated by the horror of 9/11.
Now those of us who’ve lived through all of those evil acts have another disastrous event to contend with: the COVID-19 crisis of 2020.
Like the others, this one stands to cause a great deal of wide-ranging consequences for a lot of people.
Unlike the others, this one was not committed on a single day by a person or persons dedicated to an INTENDED consequence. But there can be no doubt that some have manipulated and exacerbated its consequences to advance a political agenda …to not let the crisis go to waste.
Time will only tell if they will be held accountable but we should each of us take the time to consider the facts of the matter, hold onto the truth and discard the hysteria.
We may never be able to prove the intent of politicians who took advantage of the situation but we can get a good idea by their recent political history.
Do you trust those who have thwarted President Trump at every effort to strengthen our nation’s defense and resistance to such a calamity as this?
Did you or do you still believe those who have cried wolf over every issue imaginable since before Mr. Trump became President?
Please show a modicum of respect for your own intelligence, follow the facts and keep your emotions at bay. Each of us is a potential juror in this case. Try to show your neighbors in the jury pool that you are worthy of the job.
David Crawmer, Wynantskill

I missed the first hour of the Golden Globes last night and therefore missed the monologue done by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. I read comments on Facebook and Twitter regarding their monologue and the jokes they poked at Bill Cosby, so I almost didn’t watch the monologue for myself. I felt I pretty much got the gist of what was said. However, I am happy that I took the time to watch the ten minute opening myself. Even though I already heard many of the punchlines, it was still funnier to see it played out. No one was off limits… George Clooney and his wife, Emma Stone’s big, creepy eyes, Joaquin Phoenix, the civil rights movement… it’s all in there and all funny. So if you haven’t had a chance to watch it, it’s well worth it to take the time to do so. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are just comedy magic and am sad this is their last year hosting the Golden Globes.

Claudia arrives at the Hotel Cortez to write an article on behalf of Vogue Magazine about the fashion event organized by Will Drake, with whom she is well acquainted. She coaxes John Lowe into accompanying her to the show.
Bewitched by the hotel's charm, she decides to stay for a few days after the fashion show to help Will with interior design decisions. In her room, she hears strange noises and sees something in the mirror. Terrified, she goes to bed where she is attacked by Gabriel, who is sewn into her mattress. She is stabbed to death with the ice-pick she grabbed in defense. As a ghost, she begins haunting the hotel, mocking the fashion choices of Alex Lowe.
To Alex Lowe: "Is this Hell? Nah. If this was Hell, I'd be the one in that awful Zara knock-off that you're wearing!"

The issue isn’t as simple as you might think; there’s no single answer to this perennial question.
My answer, naturally, is “It depends.”
There are two issues at play here: the power used by a computer left running 24 hours a day, and the stress on hardware components being repeatedly turned off and on.
Become a Patron of Ask Leo! and go ad-free!
Power consumption is the easier question.
In most cases, standby is almost as good as turning your computer off completely. The computer uses a little power to keep itself ready for use, but components using the majority of the power, like spinning hard drives or display devices, are turned off.
Of course, turning the computer off completely prevents power from being consumed at all.1
Before you decide that standby or power-off is what you want to do to save electricity, it’s important to realize that your computer may already be taking steps on its own to minimize power usage when you’re not using it. Many individual components go into the equivalent of standby all on their own if they’re not used for some period of time. Hard drives may turn off after some period of inactivity. Screensavers eventually turn video displays off. Even a wireless mouse or keyboard may assume a low-power state when they havn’t been used for a while.
So, it’s quite possible that, depending on your computer, simply walking away reduces the amount of power being used.
Stress (the computer’s, not yours)
There is an argument that says leaving a component on continuously is less stressful than turning it on and off repeatedly. While you may save power while the device is off, the stress of heating up and cooling down when starting and stopping can contribute to earlier failure and required replacement.
The argument is that the cost (in terms of purchase price and the environmental impact of replacing a broken device) is so high that in the long run, it would have been more cost effective to simply leave it on all the time.
The counter argument is that most components are built with this in mind. As I mentioned, many components turn themselves off after some period of inactivity, whether you tell them to or not. The devices are built to power cycle fairly frequently.
And in almost all cases, devices are already lasting longer than we need them. Devices are most commonly replaced not because they fail, but because newer and more powerful devices are purchased.
What I do
As you can see, there’s no simple answer. There are arguments for both approaches.
My approach is to ignore all of the arguments above, as they more or less cancel each other out. Instead, I make the decision based on how I use my computers.
It’s no surprise that I am a heavy computer user, and for me, the answer is to leave almost all of my equipment running 24 hours a day. Not only does that keep everything ready and running for my use, it allows automated processes like updates and backups to happen in the wee hours of the night when I’m asleep.
What should you do?
My expectation is that an average user who uses their computer a few hours a day would most likely turn it off, or put it into standby, when it’s not going to be used for a few hours or more. That’s simply to minimize power use. It’s also not a big deal if you don’t.
If you use it longer, perhaps you leave it on all the time. Again, no big deal.
If there’s anything I might consider a tipping point in the decision, it’s backups. If leaving your computer on all the time allows you to automate the process and start taking backups where you otherwise would not, or would forget, then in my opinion, it’s totally worth it.
Backups trump everything.

Since early April 5th 2016, many people have been asking me,
“Hafez, what on earth is going on in Egypt”. Well, I always answer back with, “It’s the Middle East habibi”.
A very short answer that not only allows for the topic to pass, but also makes me evade explaining the long conflict of the region, and contributing my effort, time, strength, knowledge and perspectives into the topic. That is until I found a much easier and more relatable answer that could more or less explain to my American friends the situation in Egypt. What Egypt is witnessing right now is a demo of what the United States of America could be witnessing if one of the Republicans wins.
In the past 3 years, Egypt has been failing very fast, in all parts of its systems. A “state” according to the Oxford Dictionary is a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government. Within this organized political community led by one government. Yet, there is a difference by international law that distinguishes between a non-physical state and its government. Something many people forget to mention when talking about politics, or when attacking a certain country’s action and taking it out on its Citizenship holders. And in most cases I highly disagree with that, (I put Israel as the exception in not differentiating between the state, the government, and its citizens, but that is an entire new blog).
Back to Egypt, on June 2013, Egypt witnessed another overthrow of yet another dictator, just after one and a half years, Egyptians marched the streets in even greater numbers than the previous Revolution that ousted a 30 year ruling dictator. Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi took over under the military coup. Democratically elected, fair and square, I admit. 1 year later he started violating the constitution, and his 96% popularity started to go down, faster and faster. By April 5th 2016, Sisi has agreed with Saudi Arabia to re-draw our sea borders with the country that has saved us from financial bankruptcy numerous of times, with a total of roughly $50 billion over the past 4 years.
The Saudi King visited Egypt for the first time since he was crowned in 2015and for the first time since Sisi was elected President. The trip was not that significant to the Egyptian public, we had low expectations of more financial support from the oil rich country, trade agreements and more of the memorandum of understandings. By April 6th and the following week Egyptians were investigating in the topic of whether these Islands were actually Saudi or Egyptian, Television debates, talk shows, and daily Sit-ins started from the Journalist Syndicates. Egyptians read in the media that they were giving away two of their strategically located Islands that more or less control Israel’s trade with the Eastern Part of the world to Saudi Arabia in exchange for a $2 billion every year. Unlike most catastrophes, the regime usually neglected responding, that is until Sisi came out and pretty much told people that what is done is done and they need to shut up, (yes he actually said that). By 13th of April thousands of people hit the streets to protest again. An estimated number of 200 people were arrested during these protests, which led to larger protests a week later on the 25th of April, where 400 people were arrested. The Media, for the first time since Sisi took power, went wild .Escalations were already rising between the Police and other public representations. Recently, the police forces have had clashes over internal non-political conflicts with the Syndicates of Lawyers and the Doctors Syndicates, 2 of the largest and most powerful syndicates in Egypt. On the 1st of May, the Police violated article 70 of the constitution by invading the Syndicate. This was the first time in Egypt’s 200 years of having a modern organized “STATE’s” history to witness this. They arrested two journalist under charges of spreading false data on the Tiran and Sanafir Islands. An online and Public relations fight started between the 3 syndicates and the Ministry of Interior affairs, the words were being thrown back and forth, that is until the ministry sent their media plan on journalist syndicate raid to journalists.
Today several NGO’s and movements are working to liberate those arrested protesters as well as removing the minister of Interior affairs, yet in my opinion, it is not. We as a country need a technocratic non-represented coalition to lead the country for a 4 year period into a proper democratic state. Setting up a new constitutional article that forces any future Minister of Interior Affairs to be from the civil society. Many revolutionary steps await Egypt. The only good news I have to offer at this point is that we can still depend on many Arab states to support us in our transition. I’m just worried that Oil will end before we transition.

Performance and Business Coaching for Translators and Interpreters
Would you like to beat procrastination, improve your self-confidence and grow your translation business more efficiently?
Would you like to do this without feeling stressed, overwhelmed or isolated?
You may have studied for a translation diploma, read books on how to become a successful translator and/or subscribed to a number of specialised blogs. You may even have attended courses and webinars to learn how to set up your business, market yourself efficiently and make the most of networking opportunities. You’ve found these resources extremely useful, but you’re now having difficulties doing the things you said you were going to do.
You’re not alone. In a survey I carried out at the start of 2015, the majority of the translators I interviewed told me that although they had access to a wealth of information, they lacked the time, the confidence or the self-discipline to put the theory into practice.
The reason why this can happen to many of us is that courses, books and blogs tend to offer general advice, without taking into account your personal situation, such as your commitments, your values and your needs. While most of them will provide excellent tips on how to do things, they won’t necessarily help you overcome your personal obstacles and time constraints.
Imagine if you could find creative ways to overcome challenges and move forward.
Imagine if you could do it with the support of a qualified coach who has herself over 15 years of experience in the field of translation.
As a qualified translator and personal & business coach, I’ve created Coaching For Translators to help you develop the right mindset to move forward and grow, both with your translation business and with your life in general. I offer one-on-one coaching sessions on Skype or over the phone to help you overcome your obstacles and achieve your full potential. For more details, please click here.
If you’re not sure about coaching, but you’re interested in personal and professional development, I’ll be posting regular links and updates on my blog, on Facebook and on Twitter. Simply click on the buttons on the right to follow me.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Hoopla Brings Digital Borrowing to Libraries
This is a sponsored post. I have received compensation and a review account for this post.
I was recently introduced to hoopla, a digital media service available through a number of libraries in North America that allows you to instantly “borrow” digital movies, music, books, audiobooks, and comics using your library card. My local library system unfortunately doesn’t participate, but after getting a chance to try the service, I will definitely encourage them to.
They have apps for iOS and Android, which I appreciated, since I’d rather watch a movie or read an ebook or digital comic on my tablet, although you can also access through the web. I found the iPad app easy to use and navigate. Once you log in, you’re shown your monthly borrowing limit (you can’t have EVERYTHING all at once) as well as areas for Video, Music, Books, and Search. The top left is the help button, conveniently.
Movies and TV (under Video) are sorted by Recommended, Featured, Popular, and Genres. As I expect with a free-to-use service (I believe your library pays for what gets borrowed), there is a bunch of stuff I’ve never heard of, but I also saw items I wanted to check out immediately, like the first season of The Librarians or the movie Begin Again with Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo. You can stream or download the item; I find the latter handy for travel.
Recommendation settings allow you to pick the genres that you’re interested in for each format. You can mark items as Favorites if you don’t want to check them out immediately. There’s also a “kids mode” available through the settings if you want to let a child borrow your tablet.
I had less luck finding books I wanted to read, but the real reason I was investigating hoopla was the comics. I saw titles from Archie, Boom!, DC, Dark Horse, IDW, and Image available, often in collected form (although some individual issues were also available). The best-known titles available include Saga, Preacher, The Walking Dead, Sandman, Archie, Watchmen, and lots of media tie-ins, including The Flash, Suicide Squad, and Disney movie books. Plus, of course, your Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
You can read full page (with pinch to zoom) or there’s an Action View feature, which shows panel-by-panel. Checkout times vary based on media — the comic I got was due in 3 weeks, while the TV show episode, I only got 3 days, and the music apparently is good for 7 days — and you can “return” items early (although that doesn’t reset your borrowing count). Quality was excellent.
Hoopla also sends out newsletters promoting various groupings of items. (You can easily turn this off.) “Best Movies of July”, for example, or a really great targeted Comic-Con promotional piece with comic titles, related movies (including the documentary I just reviewed), and Marvel audiobooks. Or the Collections tab in the Comics area allows you to sort by Publisher or Eisner Award winners or Just Added.
The biggest issue I had with the interface was that, before you log in, you can search for your library system to see if they participate. Only the names don’t have states included, so I found a “Madison” but it turned out not to be the one here in Wisconsin. That was confusing. Otherwise, hoopla is a great service for those whose libraries support it.

(Chantilly, VA 6/3/2012) The Bilderberg Group completed its annual meeting today in Northern Virginia. The group was founded in 1954 by the financial, political, and military elites of Europe and the United States. Annual meetings provide for “regular, off-the-record discussions [to] help create a better understanding of the complex forces and major trends affecting Western nations in the difficult post-war period.” Bilderberg Meetings, Official Website
The inherent contradiction in this mission statement is glaringly obvious. These are the very same people who put in place and control the governments and programs that they’re meeting in private to “discuss.” Don’t they discuss these things before and during their masquerade of governance?
The group’s official meeting website says, “What is unique about Bilderberg as a forum is the privacy of the meetings, which has no purpose other than to allow participants to speak their minds openly and freely.”
When the world’s ultra-rich and powerful meet to address major sociopolitical problems in a forum based on privacy, it’s time to take a closer look.

The fascist financiers of the Money Party are growing restless. Occupy Wall Street began with a call to action from the activist online group Anonymous in August. It was barely featured in the mainstream or alternate media. Instead of a small crowd that could easily be ignored then disbursed, fifty thousand citizens showed up at the headquarters for the world financial system, Wall Street. Despite the best efforts of Mayor Bloomberg and NYPD, the Occupy Wall Street continues. The message went out to the country and the world. Now, there are over 100 occupy events in Oakland, Kansas City, Washington, DC, and elsewhere. (Image: K. Kendall)

If you are twenty four or younger, you are likely either under or unemployed. Only about 60% of those 16 to 24 years old are in the labor force (those employed or seeking jobs). Their unemployment rate is 18%.
For years, Money Party lackeys, our (s)elected officials, put out a propaganda line that said, Get an education or there’s no future for you. Well, lots of people got a college or trade school education or on the job training and there are no jobs for them.

The Money Party is a very small group of enterprises and individuals who control almost all of the money and power in the United States. They use their money and power to make more money and gain more power. It’s not about Republicans versus Democrats. The Money Party is an equal opportunity employer. It has no permanent friends or enemies, just permanent interests. Democrats are as welcome as Republicans to this party. It’s all good when you’re on the take and the take is legal. Economic Populist
Negative job growth for eleven years is the best evidence concerning our economic troubles. There were 135 million jobs in 2000 for a workforce of 144 million. Today, there are 139 million jobs for a workforce of 154 million. That represents negative job growth when you factor in population growth.
Job growth in this economy hit a dead calm in 2000 and is now moving backwards. If the issue isn’t raised, how can we address the phenomena?
You’re headed for bankruptcy court tomorrow. It’s been a long and difficult road. You and your husband both worked. You made decent money. Then your husband became ill. There was no sick leave because he worked for himself. His disability insurance had a six-month delay and only covered half of the lost income. That was all you could afford. (Image Wikimedia Commons)
His condition was critical and required medication three times a day at a monthly cost of $2500. Your company plan covered your husband but it didn’t cover the medication because the insurance company termed it experimental. It was the sole option for the crippling illness according to the three specialists consulted.
Your husband contributed 40% of the family income. The loss was a big hit but you persevered. You couldn’t sell the house, even if you wanted to. It was $150,000 upside down. There was no federal or bank program to relieve that burden. After four months of cashing in a modest 401(k), it became obvious that you couldn’t make it. You needed relief and time for your husband to get well.
You consulted your accountant. On his advice, you decided to file for bankruptcy.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) made an embarrassing error just two days before the start of the Libyan people’s revolution on February 17. This quote from an IMF country study appeared in a previous article: “The outlook for Libya’s economy remains favorable.” IMF Feb 15 This advice was 180 degrees off target. The Libyan economy has ceased functioning as protests and popular demands imploded the Gaddafi regime. (Image)
Further investigation unearthed a specific pattern of positive IMF endorsements for each of the nations experiencing popular uprisings that are sweeping the region. When the IMF blesses a nation’s progress for conforming to the economic policies underlying globalism, watch out! There is a popular rebellion in the wings.

The forces of globalization are increasingly and in surprising places and ways under attack. Globalization did not happen by accident; it was the result of policies put in place by people with a particular agenda.
Matt Stoller, a former policy advisor to Rep. Alan Grayson, has posted this morning his insights into the Egyptian Revolution – insights that are quite different from the usual take on these events. They can be found here at the Naked Capitalism blog managed by Yves Smith.
Stoller dismisses the fanciful praise of social networks as a driving force behind the revolution – a story the mainstream media are plugging rigorously. He focuses instead on the participation of young men and women who labor anonymously in the new cheap-labor factory mills set up in Egypt under the direction of Gamal Mubarak, the president’s son and anointed successor. These are the workers who organized the first protests – who responded at great risk to the call for demonstrations, who continued to occupy Tahrir Square despite the provocations from the government, and whose focus on civil liberties was motivated by the repressive police tactics used by the government to enforce the discipline demanded by the mostly-foreign corporations that run the labor mills.
The Happy New Year Edition (with some good news about 2011)
The best thing about 2010 is that it’s over. It was a year filled with utter stupidity, mendacity, and greed beyond all bounds on the part of our rulers, also known as The Money Party. Lots of fiddling while Rome and the rest of the world burned. Knowledge is power and among the ruling elite in the United States, the power was off. Somebody forgot to pay the bill or paid with a bad check, no doubt.
A Decade of Job Stagnation In 2000, 135 million citizens were employed. In 2010 there were 139 million Americans employed. Given the 9.7% increase in population since 2000, we would expect to see at least 148 million citizens with jobs. Nobody much wants to talk about this or the true unemployment figures produced by the US Census called “U6”. That measure accounts for, “Total unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force.” Bureau of Labor Statistics

What is it with these billionaires, lecturing us to “suck it up” if we don’t like the bailouts? A few months ago it was Charlie Munger, co-founder of Berkshire Hathaway and sidekick to the better-known Warren Buffett, who said “we shouldn’t be bitching about a little bailout”, and people facing financial troubles should just “suck it up and cope.” Back in September when Munger was speaking, we didn’t know just how little the bailout was, but now that the Federal Reserve has been forced to divulge details of its six bank emergency financing vehicles, we discover that over $3 trillion in taxpayer money was delivered to US and foreign banks, companies like General Electric, mutual funds like PIMCO, and a few individuals, some of whom happened to be billionaires like Charlie Munger.

What do you get when you cross Tim Geithner and Peter Peterson?
Barack Obama; who would rather help the big banks and balance the budget than offer a helping hand for struggling homeowners. (Image)
The president demonstrated new heights of indifference toward the people in his handling of the mortgage relief program made a part of the Trouble Asset Relief Program (TARP). Citizens paid the full share for TARP and were to get a modest proportion. That’s not the case. The November 2010 Congressional Budget Office Report on TARP was just issued. It showed that the funds for home mortgage assistance programs would be reduced from $50 billion to $12 billion, as reported in the Huffington Post.
Reading the details of the report, we find that the take back from homeowner relief through TARP funds is even more outrageous. The actual funds spent so far for homeowner relief is only $710 million.
The White House snatched back one of the few bones it’s thrown to the people outraged at the looting of the United States Treasury by failed financial concerns – the big banks and Wall Street. The promised appointment Elizabeth Warren as head of the new agency to protect consumers from the financial services industry has been seriously downgraded. Instead of running the Consumer Finance Protection Agency, Warren’s role has been diminished to that of special assistant to the president and adviser to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.
“President Obama, sidestepping a possibly heated confirmation battle, will appoint Harvard law professor Elizabeth Warren as a special advisor to the Treasury Department to launch the government’s powerful new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, according to two Democratic officials familiar with the decision.” LA Times, Sept 15
An interim appointment would have given the no-nonsense Warren the full authority to structure consumer bureau in the interests of the people. A special adviser role is defined in a New York Times article as follows: Continue reading

In 2006 I did something monumentally stupid, something that can only be chalked up to pure, unadulterated ignorance and the folly of youth. I voted. For a Democrat. And I did so — wait for it — under the impression I might be helping to end a war.
Those readers still with me, please control your laughter and let me explain. At the time I justified my decision on the basis that maybe, just maybe, if the Democrats took over Congress they might feel tempted — if only for purely partisan political gain — to fulfill their stated goal of bringing the Iraq war to an end. I know. I know.

Feel like you're yachting along the Italy coast with our Cast Iron Primavera Casarecce! A 30-minute cook time is all it takes to fall head over heels with its simplicity. And if the thought of hickory-smoked prosciutto and crisp sugared snap peas makes your mouth water, then read on to find out how to have this on a plate just in time for dinner.
Cast Iron Primavera Casarecce brings on all the fuzzy feelings of clear blue skies and cool choppy waters.
Table of contents
With a nod to tradition, this Italian-inspired dish awakens the need for a quick getaway adventure.
Or at least the urge to break from the norm.
But hold on!
Before you go pressing the buy button
This soul-warming meal may be all you need to switch up your regular routine.
And you can thank prosciutto and shallots for that.
It's just something about the smell of toasted garlic, shallots, and prosciutto that screams little Italy!
Maybe it's the infusion of olive oil and chicken stock.
Or a love of old-world Italy.
Either way, after getting a whiff of the cheesy, aromatic steam oozing off the plates, you'll be hard-pressed not to skim through the latest cruise offerings to see what awaits on distant shores.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE CAST IRON PRIMAVERA CASARECCE
- 30-minute cook time
- Bold flavor on a tight budget
- Easy-to-find ingredients
- Re-heat friendly
By far the best meal to feel bliss on a budget, try this quick Cast Iron Primavera Casarecce recipe for your next dinner rush.
And be sure to come back and let me know which vacation package you found yourself booking.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED FOR CAST IRON PRIMAVERA CASARECCE
- Casarecce pasta
- Snap peas
- Olive oil
- Prosciutto, or ham
- Dijon mustard
- Heavy cream
- Chicken stock
- Parmesan cheese
As well as garlic clove, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
HOW TO MAKE CAST IRON PRIMAVERA CASARECCE
- With a medium-sized pot, bring your pasta to boil according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- In another skillet, sauté your prosciutto and shallot for a few minutes, and then add in your garlic, red pepper flakes, cream, and mustard.
- Cook for approximately 1 minute, then add in your veggies.
- Transfer the mix into your drained pasta and toss until well combined.
- Sprinkle a pinch (or more) of parmesan cheese on top and enjoy!
For complete instructions, please scroll down to the recipe card below.
COOKING WITH CASARECCE PASTA
Casarecce pasta is a uniquely shaped noodle that resembles two tiny ziti noodles twisted together.
However, the big difference is that Casarecce Pasta has a thin cut down the middle, which helps retain the flavors of the ingredients you incorporate it with.
Make sure that you cook Casarecce Pasta al dente. Meaning, you don't want to go past ten (10) minutes, or else you'll have a mushy noodle that will taste good but not look so appealing.
Depending on the brand of pasta, cook according to the instructions and be sure to stir continuously. This will help the noodles not stick together- nor clump in the bottom of the pot.
And if you're looking for an interesting conversation opener, inform your dinner mates that the word Casarecce means 'homemade' and what inspired you to make this dish.
TIPS FOR MAKING CAST IRON PRIMAVERA CASARECCE
This is a quick meal, so make sure that all vegetables and meats are cleaned and pre-cut before beginning. You do not want your pasta to become cold while still chopping asparagus spears or your shallot, so save yourself the extra hassle by prepping beforehand.
WHEN TO ADD IN THE ASPARAGUS
I like to cook my asparagus separately from my prosciutto skillet mix and then incorporate. So, if you would like to do the same, then begin by cutting off the white bottoms of your spears and grab a medium-sized skillet, some olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Depending on the length of your asparagus, a small or large skillet may be perfect. Now lightly coat your asparagus in the mixture and toss inside the skillet until tender. Some people choose to incorporate other ingredients like lemon zest or butter, but it is not necessary.
DO I HAVE TO USE PROSCIUTTO?
You do not have to use prosciutto in this dish. A few thin slices of cured ham, Italian bacon, or mushrooms are all excellent substitutes that honor the dish's flavors.
Salami is a good runner-up but risks altering the taste a bit, so proceed with caution.

Who is the person
How you know him/her
And explain why you think this person is polite.
In fact, I have met a number of polite persons in my life, and picking just one of them as the most polite person is my mother. She is in late 40s. She is not tall but looking very gorgeous.
There are several reasons why I choose my mother for the politest person. Firstly, No doubt, all the members are lovable and co-operative but I am very much near to my mother and she is having cluster of qualities. She is one of the most soft-spoken person in our entire family. Not only does she respects people she knows, but she is respectful to everyone who interacts with her.
Recently, a beggar was roaming around in our colony asking for either food or money and while everyone disrespectfully asked the person to move, my mother not only gave him respect but also food and money. On asking her why she did that, she replied that “everyone deserves to be treated respectfully, irrespective of their position, behavior or clothing.”
My mother has always tried instilling these qualities in both of her kids, although we are not as kind as her, we try to follow her teaching of respecting every individual.
Secondly, she teaches me hard working is key to success and she told me that without hard work person cannot reach the goal. She is real motivator for me. Moreover, Her speeches are well constructed and she always carefully tries not to hurt anyone with her speech. she is well-known both for her gentle nature and talent.
she never breaks her promises and makes promise considering her ability. So, I like her very much for her politeness and other qualities. She is like a candle who burns herself and gives me light.
1. According to you, are you a polite person?
I do think I’m a polite person. I treat other people nicely and patiently, and I do not insult anyone unless they truly deserve it. Also, I properly apologize when I make mistakes and I show my gratitude when other people help me.
2. Do you think people should be polite? Why is being polite important?
People should always be polite because it shows that they have good manners and it helps them earn others’ respect. Being polite is like having good social skills – it can help one widen their social network, and this can positively influence one’s private and professional life.
3.Who taught you to be polite?
This may sound weird but my friends actually taught me to be polite. I wasn’t a very nice person when I was a kid, and my parents often scolded me for being rude to elders. One day, I remember watching one of my friends talking really nicely and politely to a senior. She was praised, and so I started imitating her. My parents were really surprised when I changed my attitude, and they gave me some sweets as I was “being a good kid”. I have been showing my politeness to everyone ever since.
4. How do people in your culture show good manners towards others?
Good manners can be shown in a wide range of acts in our culture. For example, when we run into people who are older than us like our parents, grandparents or our university lecturers, we say hi and bow our head to show our respect towards them.

This textbook is aimed at newcomers to nonlinear dynamics and chaos, especially students taking a first course in the subject. The presentation stresses analytical methods, concrete examples, and geometric intuition. The theory is developed systematically, starting with first-order differential equations and their bifurcations, followed by phase plane analysis, limit cycles and their bifurcations, and culminating with the Lorenz equations, chaos, iterated maps, period doubling, renormalization, fractals, and strange attractors. A unique feature of the book is its emphasis on applications. These include mechanical vibrations, lasers, biological rhythms, superconducting circuits, insect outbreaks, chemical oscillators, genetic control systems, chaotic waterwheels, and even a technique for using chaos to send secret messages.

Staying at home 24/7 may be challenging, but most people usually find something to keep themselves occupied. Today, we won’t be giving you an online course on how to stop snoring at home, but some handy tips to tackle sleep apnea, instead.
Tips to help sleep apnea
Firstly, remember OSA is a sleep disorder that demands treatment. People with sleep apnea don’t get enough oxygen during sleep, and sometimes it can lead to other sleeping issues.
So, it’s not a home-handle thing; you have to see a specialist and get treatment. If your condition isn’t severe, you may try different home tips for sleep apnea, like these:
- Keep your head up. Your head should be up to six inches off the bed. A special pillow can help elevate your head;
- Sleep on your side. Avoid sleeping on your back as it makes your tongue and soft tissues obstruct your airwa. Know more here.
- Use oral/nasal appliances. There’s nothing unusual about using a nasal dilator, breathing strips, or a nasal irrigation system. Choose one that suits you best.
Tips for sleeping with sleep apnea won’t entirely rid you of OSA but, at least, you can reduce the impact of the disease on your health. So, go ahead, implement them and experience the results.
Sleep apnea prevention tips
Though tips for sleep apnea sufferers may also work as sleep apnea prevention tips, we want to draw a line between these two practices. Preventing OSA is more challenging as you need to be more precise with your condition and have strong self-control. Check out this advice to avoid OSA:
- Keep a healthy weight: Often gaining extra pounds is the main reason for snoring and the biggest OSA symptom. Losing weight may lower your neck size and chances of developing apnea.
- Practice yoga: Yoga can improve your respiratory strength and encourage oxygen flow. Know how exercises help you sleep here.
- Monitor sleep: This sleep apnea tip doesn’t demand lots of effort. Use Goodsomnia Lab to track your sleep quality and snoring at night.
- Use a humidifier. If your sleep apnea is due to dry air, a humidifier can help as it opens your airways, decreases congestion, and encourages clearer breathing.
- Set a sleep routine. Quarantine is a good time for new habits, such as taking a healthy 8-9 hours of sleep!
This article may read as if its ‘Tips for living with sleep apnea’, but we don’t want you to put up with apnea. We want you to live life, control it and experience good healthy sleep.

Prefix routing, as the name implies, will route files based on fixed-size or dynamically sized prefix(es). Folders can be assigned to each prefix so that a subfolder structure will be created in the destination folder.
Creating a Prefix Routing
Go to the Routings tab in the configuration and click on the green Plus icon to create a new routing.
The following settings apply to prefix routing:
Name: Name the routing here to make it easy to tell apart from any other routing methods you define.
Description: A more detailed description of how the files are routed can be entered here.
Routing type: Choose Prefix Routing here to enable the options described below.
Fixed Size: If all prefixes in the source are a fixed size, choose this option. You can then define the length of the prefix(es) by adding a size value in the Prefix Size field and clicking the Add button. If filenames are made up of several different-length prefixes, you can add several values corresponding to the first, second, third one and so on.
Example: To route a file with the filename pre1pre2filename.jpg you should specify 2 fixed size prefixes each consisting of 4 characters.
Separated by a character: If your source files contains prefixes separated by a certain character you can add the separator(s) using this option. Connect will then search for the separator character(s) in the filename and use this to tell the prefixes apart.
Example: To route a file with the filename pre1-pre2~filename.jpg you should specify the dash (-) and the tilde (~) as prefix separators.
Remove prefix: If you would like to remove the prefix from the filename before applying routing and storing the file in its assigned destination folder, tick this option.
Do not route file, only remove prefix: Choosing this option will remove the prefix from the filename but not perform additional routing. The file will then be transferred to the destination folder.
Associate prefix and folder
To store files in a folder hierarchy inside the destination folder, specify the prefixes and the corresponding folder the files should be routed to. This will arrange the files in subfolders that are created in the order in which the prefixes occur in the filename.
Example: You associate the SPO prefix with a folder named Sports and HAN with Handball. When the dash character (-) is specified as the prefix separator, a file named SPO-HAN-filename.jpg will be stored in Destination Folder\Sports\Handball.
Route to folder with prefix name if no associated folder is found: If Connect transfers a file with a prefix that is not currently associated with a folder, it will create a subfolder in the destination folder named after the prefix. If this option is not checked, any files with a prefix not in associated with a folder will be placed flat in the destination folder.
Remember to click the Save button in the lower-right corner when you have made changes to the configuration.

My Dad Was a Fantastic Cook.
Mom didn’t really like to cook. She’d manage to put meals on the table during the week though, because that’s what moms did. My Dad, my brother and I grew up with Mom’s nearly inedible meals most weekdays—things like over-salted and over-cooked hamburger “steak,” canned peas and instant mashed potatoes. My Mom had embraced the convenience food-trend of the 70’s like many other moms in those days. Pre-prepared and pre-packaged foods took off in a big way and Mom was on that band wagon, for sure.
So it wasn’t too much of a surprise to my brother and me when Dad started doing most of the cooking for the family when he retired. I was still in high school at the time. Even before he retired, I remember really looking forward to the weekends, when Dad would take over the kitchen and make elaborate breakfasts—fried potatoes with onions, big, fat, overstuffed omelets and thick, meaty bacon. Hank rocked it in the kitchen.
My Dad Ate Weird Things.
It was not unusual to walk into the “tv room” on a weekend afternoon and see Dad watching a football game while noshing on a limburger cheese sandwich with raw onions on pumpernickel. Or “rollmops”—a gherkin wrapped in pickled herring. He often subjected us to the weirdness at dinner time. When he cooked, we were served things like sauerbraten, beef tongue, steak and kidney pie and black pudding.
My Dad was not like other dads. He spent his weekends making jams and jellies (often from the fruit in our own yard), smoking salmon and trout that he caught himself and making venison jerky from the deer he brought home from his hunting trip. He would do odd things like harvest the rhubarb plant in the backyard and make a pie filling out of it. Some weekends he’d butcher some of the ducks and rabbits that we kept in the back-forty. MMMmmmm . . . I loved hasenpfeffer. Not so much the czernina.
And there was always a jar of sourdough starter in the fridge. I still have the old jar, but not the starter. Now it’s filled with flour. I love that jar.
My Dad Wasn’t Afraid to Experiment and Try New Things.
Hank was a renaissance man. He was rolling sushi in the late 70’s, before sushi was even a “thing” in the American culinary scene. When I was in high school, our family hosted foreign exchange students from Japan. Dad impressed them by rolling sushi with fresh ahi and salmon and cooking dinner outside on the picnic table with a shabu shabu pot. It was no inconvenience to him to drive 40 miles to the beach area for fresh, sushi grade fish. It was an adventure.
Hank went out of his way to expose my brother and me to new flavors and tastes. I loved trying new things and he knew that. My brother and my Mom—not so much. I remember when I was about 10 years old, my Dad wanted to make a special dinner for my Mom for her birthday. Mind you, Mom was a basic “meat and potatoes” type of woman–not real keen on funky flavors or trying new things. My Dad made a beautiful prime rib for the main course. Delicious . . . and safe. I don’t remember what he made for the sides or even the dessert, but for the starter, he made vichyssoise. Weird name. I was intrigued. Turns out, it really wasn’t anything wild. Vichyssoise is just a soup made of puréed leeks, potatoes and chicken stock, traditionally served cold. Dad got the recipe straight from Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking. That was my first “encounter” with Julia Child. I was excited to try this soup with a funny name. It must be exotic! Mom’s response when she tasted the velvety smooth, cold bowl of creamy goodness? She scrunched up her nose (see the shabu shabu photo above) and said, “It tastes like cold potato soup!” My poor Dad looked defeated. From that moment on, I vowed to try anything and everything. Be bold!
I was always eager and happy to benefit from my Dad’s culinary experimentation—and I took full advantage of learning from him.
Dad Taught Me That Food is Comforting; Food is Love.
I learned early on that is it always satisfying to make someone happy, and the easiest way to make someone happy was to feed them good food. Comfort food. People often ask me what kind of food I like to cook, or what my “specialty” is. For me, it’s all about home cooking. Simple comfort foods that evoke happy memories and fill your soul, as well as your stomach.
My favorite childhood food memory is making Thanksgiving dinner in my parents’ kitchen with Dad. Every year, the turkey was perfect, the stuffing was always cooked inside the bird, the mashed potatoes were always lumpy (my Mom’s only contribution to the meal), and the gravy was always rich and smooth. Dad would always make a double batch of oyster dressing and hand a big hot dish of the good stuff over the back wall to the neighbors next door. They were from the East Coast and missed the oyster dressing that was traditional for them. Hank was happy to help them out.
When the turkey was out of the oven, Hank would always peel off some of the crispy skin and we would sample it together.
People still ask me for Hank’s gravy recipe. And I still sneak a piece or two of the crispy skin from the perfectly roasted turkey before it’s carved.
People and Your Relationships With Them Are the Most Important Things in Your Life.
My Dad told me that if I tried, I could learn something from every single person I met in life. I didn’t really take him very seriously at the time—I was just a kid. I always knew and understood that family relationships were important. But I’ve also grown to understand that family, friends, and even acquaintances can and will teach you life lessons. Break bread and enjoy a glass of wine with the people in your life. Listen to them. Listen to their stories. Watch their actions and how they respond to joy, grief, love and fear. That’s how you learn things. That’s what shapes you.
Hank is my adoptive father. I do not know a single thing about my biological father. Biology doesn’t matter to me . . . you can make a family whether or not there is a biological connection. It happens every day. It’s the best part of life. I love you, Dad!
Here is the recipe for Vichyssoise, but I’ve given it my own twist by adding fennel and garlic. It’s a refreshing cold soup, filling and satisfying.
Fennel & Garlic Vichyssoise
- 3 cups diced raw potatoes (russets work fine)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 6 leeks, cleaned and thinly sliced (white and very light green parts only)
- 2 fennel bulbs, green fronds removed, cleaned and thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- Chopped chives and parsley (if desired)
Cook the potatoes in salted water until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Melt the butter in a stock pot over medium heat. Add the leeks, fennel, garlic and salt and sauté for 5-7 minutes. Do not let the vegetables brown. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer the leeks and fennel are until tender. Add the potatoes to the leeks and the broth and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender and puree the soup until smooth (if you are using a blender, you will need to blend it in batches).
Chill the soup. When ready to serve, mix in the cream and garnish with chopped herbs.

I started this about a month ago, but totally forgot I was playing it. Then I realised that Untitled Goose Game and Link’s Awakening were out tomorrow and I remembered I had some unfinished stuff to do first. Turns out I was very near the end anyway.
Bertram Fiddle is a point and click adventure game set in Victorian London, complete with mutton chops and Sherlock Holmes and a murder with a severed head as a clue. Bertram himself is a mostly incompetent detective slash adventurer, and he takes it upon himself to solve the murder.
Since it’s a point and click game, I couldn’t help comparing it to The Secret of Woolley Mountain, which I played recently. That game had more puzzles in it, and felt a bit longer, but suffered a little graphically and with variably successful voice acting. The art in Bertram Fiddle is much better and the spoken dialogue is much, much better. The humour and gameplay of both games is great though.
Anyway, I’ll be getting Episode 2 from the eShop next time it’s on offer (which, given Astral Chain, Untitled Goose Game and Link’s Awakening are all being played is hopefully not too soon) and if you’re a fan of this genre then Bertram Fiddle is definitely worth your time.

Round one of the Trump-Ryan fight to repeal Obamacare ended on Friday. It is now a very open question in Washington whether there ever will even be a second round effort to overthrow the Affordable Care Act or whether the focus in healthcare will turn to fixing Obamacare. It is clear that the fight showed that both Trump and Ryan were not yet able to lead their party.
Friday’s events certainly indicated that admit it or not, Trump took a “huge” hit. To his credit the Speaker admitted the loss without blaming the Democrats, unlike the President who could not resist—despite a generally well-modulated post battle press conference–to blame the D’s for the fact that the bill went down in the House. For the Republican Party there is now a very serious internal fight to be waged to determine whither goes the party and who will lead it. (Curiously, the only Republican leader to emerge unscathed from this battle was Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who stood aside as the various GOP party factions played ugly, nasty political games in the House. McConnell is now readying for the possible floor battle with Schumer over Judge Gorsuch’s confirmation.)
The House vote suggested that the Republican Party is being pulled in three directions. First, there is the traditional conservative Ryan-led right wing. Second, are the moderates who are the classic Republicans but who are declining rapidly although they remain a force. Finally, there is the Freedom Caucus of roughly 30 Republicans who take a very extreme conservative position on most issues.
The Republicans now must consider not only in what direction they will go in their legislative agenda, but whether they have a personal or ideological leader. Do they proceed with tax reform or infrastructure as their next battle? In neither case will the fight be as ugly as over the healthcare and in both instances if they proceed traditionally, there are likely to be opportunities to find the potential for some Democratic buy-in.
What is curious in this entire discussion about leadership is that few people are looking at the Democrats. No doubt that in Chuck Schumer they probably have the most skilled and adept floor manager and negotiator that they have had in years. Nancy Pelosi continues to manage the House remarkably well but she clearly is on the downslope with no significant young personality clearly in the wings.
As for the national party, no voice has emerged to speak for the Democrats. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are fine senior party champions but they do not represent the future. Governor Andrew Cuomo or Senators Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, or Al Franken do not appear ready for primetime. If the Democratic Party is to take real advantage of the stumbling Trump Administration it must develop a voice to bell in the night and it must do so soon.
The 2018 elections will be extremely challenging for the Democrats and the next round of presidential craziness will be upon the country before one turns around. After the events of last week, it seems likely that the Republicans do not yet have it together to govern. In the legislative battles the Democrats have the strength to compete, but their national bench is not in place.

Today morning I had a meeting with my doctor, giving him test results I had taken last week. Good and bad news here.
High Uric Acid beside High Triglycerides, High Total Cholesterol, High LDL and very low HDL is part of the stuff in the result.
In this test high Uric Acid is something new beside old problems, I’ve no idea what could be reason because I don’t takes that much meat or alcohol, but one of my BP meds could be the reason (Diuretics Meds, Read here how it can affect).
Therefore now officially I’ve Gout, Hypothyroid+, High BP and a bad liver plus lots of fat in my blood.
Today after resting about 10 minutes in doctor’s room my BP was 160/90 even that I have had taken my meds, so my doctor decide that I should take my BP meds x2, a new med (Allopurinol) is added to my everyday list too and its for high Uric Acid I have.
Good news is that my Hypothyroid+ is controlled by meds and test says with current meds all is good, also my Liver is not changed, yet not normal level of stuff, but not a big problem and don’t need any treatment.

If you’ve ever thought of planting flowers to attract pollinators to your garden, milkweed should be on top of your list – plants in the genus Asclepias are known for attracting all kinds of insects, most notably the monarch butterfly. The common milkweed, A. syriaca, is estimated to provide food to over 450 different species of insects! Asclepias is a member of the Apocynaceae family, also known as the dogbane family. While they may provide adequate food for pollinators, some taxa are poisonous to animals – the family gets its colloquial name from those taxa that were historically used as dog poison . The genus name, Asclepias, comes from the Greek god Asklepios the god of medicine. Milkweed has had a variety of uses in human culture over the years; medicine is just the beginning.
The flowers of Asclepias are morphologically distinct. They are clustered in heads called umbels, with 30-50 individual flowers in each. The image below shows a close up of several A. syriaca flowers and their characteristics. The petals (a) are reflexed downward toward the stem, and a petal-like shape is made by the corona, which is made up of five nectar-secreting hoods (b) and incurving horns (c). The floral corona helps to attract pollinators. Pollen is produced in the anther (d) and received by the stigmatic disc (e). In Asclepias, these structures are fused into a single structure called the gynostegium. Between two adjacent anthers forms the anther wings (f), which enclose a stigmatic chamber. Above this chamber is the pollinium gland (g), where pollen can be retrieved. All of the flower buds in an umbel will open within 2-3 days of each other, and fade in colour and begin to shrivel shortly after being pollinated . Not every flower will produce seeds, even if they have been pollinated – one stem may have 50 flowers but still only produce one or two seed pods.
Pollinators searching for nectar on the unstable flowers can get pollinia, a mass of pollen grains, stuck to the adhesive pads on their feet that help them climb. These pollen grains may be deposited on the stigmatic disc of another flower as the insect continues to forage . While they are visited by bumblebees, wasps, ants, and flies as well, milkweed is most commonly associated with the butterflies that are attracted to the sweet-smelling flowers. The iconic monarch butterfly relies on milkweed for its entire life cycle. The eggs are laid on the underside of milkweed leaves, which the caterpillars eat from when they hatch. The poisonous compounds in Asclepias, chemicals called cardiac glycosides, are actually used by the caterpillars as a defence mechanism against predators. Insects like the monarch caterpillar that are adapted to feeding on Asclepias plants store these compounds in their body instead of metabolizing them, which effectively makes them poisonous to those looking for a tasty grub to snack on . After metamorphosis, the monarch butterfly may eat the nectar from milkweed flowers in addition to many other species, but it will always return to milkweed to lay its eggs.
Although toxic in large quantities, the compounds in milkweed have given them traditional medicinal uses in human culture. A. syriaca, the common milkweed, was used by colonial settlers as an expectorant, an emetic, and a remedy for asthma. A related plant, A. tuberosa, has been used to induce perspiration and in the treatment of lung ailments. The milky latex produced by the plant, which can be seen oozing from the stem if one breaks off a leaf or flower, was investigated as a rubber precursor but was never profitable. The seed hair fibres were used as a wartime substitute for kapok to make life jackets . Although not profitable for humans, milkweed is still a very important plant for pollinators like the monarch butterfly.
Asclepias syriaca is native to North America and is commonly found invading fields and roadsides. This specimen was collected at QUBS in 1960 by the former curator, Roland Beschel. You can find A. syriaca in flower all around QUBS from July to early August!

Fans of alternative medicine are likely familiar with the mint family, the Lamiaceae. Many of these plants produce essential oils used to battle ailments or boost the immune system – for example, oil of oregano is a common herbal treatment for sore throats, and peppermint oil has a cooling effect that can alleviate sore muscles. Lamiaceae plants are also widely used to add flavour to dishes and drinks, such as sage and rosemary – both in the genus Salvia. Among the other curious properties of the plants in this genus, Salvia divinorium (sometimes known as sage of the diviners or simply Salvia) is psychoactive and is recreationally smoked, chewed or consumed as a tea to induce hallucinations.
There are a variety of chemical compounds responsible for the different properties of plants in the Lamiaceae family. Within the Nepetoidae subfamily, which contains many of the more familiar Lamiaceae plants, the phenolic compound rosmarinic acid is mainly responsible. It was named after the plant from which it was first isolated, Salvia rosmarinus, also known as rosemary. This acid has shown antiviral, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities. It has also been reported to deter pests like the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta).(4) Plants containing rosmarinic acid are most used to treat inflammation – and advances in molecular genetics help to explain why they are effective. In basic terms, rosmarinic acid stops the production of compounds that initiate inflammatory responses when cells are under stress – for example, from a viral infection. The acid inhibits the genes that tell the cell to make inflammation-inducing compounds and thus eases the symptom.(2)
Unsurprisingly, the Lamiaceae have been used in traditional medicine around the world for generations. The common characteristics of this family may have helped early peoples to recognize that a variety of different species can be used for food and medicine – the resemblance between species is strong, especially as you move from the family to the subfamily or to the genus level. Plants in the mint family usually have simple leaves, and they are always oppositely arranged. The stems are usually four-angled, with the leaves at each node being rotated 90° so that the leaves grow in four directions away from the stem. The flowers, which can be hermaphrodite or functionally female (i.e. The male parts are sterile), usually have five lobes and two ‘lips’ – hence the synonym Labiatae which is sometimes used to describe this family. The plant itself often has dense glands and a strong aroma.(3) Using these characteristics, you can identify common plants in the mint family that may be growing around your neighbourhood!
Glechoma hederacea – Ground Ivy
A native to Europe, G. hederacea is a creeping herb that was brought over deliberately by settlers for medicinal use and food and it quickly invaded the North American lands. It is low to the ground and inconspicuous – it can be recognized by its oppositely arranged, kidney-shaped leaves with blunt teeth, and blue-violet flowers about ½ inches long. It flowers in late spring and early summer, and by this time of year has already set seed. The upper lip of the corolla has three lobes that appear to be three distinct petals; the lower lip has two lobes with spots that are usually purple but occasionally pink or white. It flowers early in spring, and by mid-summer has produced seeds. However, it spreads much more rapidly by producing clones than seed dispersal. It is also suspected to have allelopathic effects, which helps it outcompete other plants and rapidly take over an area.(1)
Glechoma hederacea is a member of the Nepetoideae subfamily, so the presence of rosmarinic acid and other chemical compounds makes it a good contender for medicinal use. It is an effective anti-inflammatory agent and as such has been used against catarrh, the excess buildup of mucus caused by inflammation of the body’s mucus membranes.
Prunella vulgaris – Self-heal
Named for its ubiquitous use in traditional medicine, the selfheal is a Holarctic species – native to the continents of the northern hemisphere. It is also a member of the Nepetoideae subfamily and contains rosmarinic acid as the major phenolic compound. It has been said to treat sore throats, fevers, and accelerate wound healing.(5) Prunella vulgaris has also been shown to have specific activity against herpes simplex virus (HSV). Chemical compounds produced by the plant are shown to be effective at reducing the viral load of cells infected with HSV and has the potential to be used as an antiviral treatment for cold sores.(6)
The leaves are lance-shaped and entire, arranged oppositely as is typical of the Lamiaceae. The flowers are violet or purple and found in short spikes. It flowers from late spring to fall and can be found along roadsides and in waste places throughout Kingston, ON right now!
Because of the widespread medicinal and culinary uses of plants in the Lamiaceae family, European colonists brought many of them around the world with them. In addition to intentional introductions, seeds and fragments of plants can hitchhike along with other biological materials brought by settlers. For example, Lamium amplexicaule, also known as common dead-nettle is one of many members of the Mint family that was introduced to North America from the Old World. This specimen was collected in Kingston by George Lawson in 1859. Lawson was appointed professor of Chemistry and Natural History at Queen’s University in 1858, where he set up a botanical laboratory. He was also a founding member the Botanical Society of Canada, established in 1860. His wife, Mrs. Lawson, was an amateur botanist, and inspired equal privileges for female members of the Society. He was an ambitious man and saw the Botanical Society as a means of encouraging botanical research beyond the British settlements in Canada.(7) Although he only stayed a few years at Queen’s before moving on to Dalhousie University, his legacy remains at Queen’s in the specimens that are kept within the Fowler Herbarium.

The Asteraceae, also known as the aster, daisy, or sunflower family, is the second largest family of flowering plants – and it shows. All over Kingston this week, various Asteraceae species are showing off their unique flowers. The radial petals of Asteraceae heads play tricks on our eyes, making them appear as one big flower. In reality, these heads are made up of many, very small perfect ‘disk flowers’ surrounded by a ring of “ray flowers” (Image 1).
What appears to be petals are individual ray flowers, which sometimes have no reproductive parts.
A common pattern of Asteraceae flower heads is the rows of bracts below the ray flowers. Bracts are modified leaves that resemble sepals and that sit beneath the ray flowers (see Image 2). Perfect flowers would often have only one sepal per petal, but asters can have several layers of bracts. While this is not a foolproof test, this is one of the characteristics that can be used to identify aster flowers.
Check out the Asteraceae species that we found decorating Kingston’s green spaces this week!
Looking at the images above you might be wondering:
Are there ray flowers in pineapple weed?
Where are the discs flowers in chicory and dandelion?
Do all aster flowers have disc and ray flowers?
If you had questions like this, you are very observant! Not all the aster flowers have the same structure, so let us consider some of the kinds of composite flower you might encounter.
First, notice how the heads are configured in terms of disc and ray flowers. Usually, you will come across three basic flower-head types:
Heads composed of only ray flowers (also called ligulate flowers), as in dandelion, chicory (“a” and “c” in image above), endive, and wild lettuce.
Heads composed of only disc flowers (also called discoid), as those found in species of the genus Eupatorium, Ageratum, Cirsium (thistles) and Arctium burdock (“e” in image above, also see below).
Heads composed of both disc and ray flowers are called radiate flowers. They have disc flowers tightly packed together in the head’s “eye,” while enlarged ray flowers that function as petals radiating outward from the eye. Species in this group include sunflowers, Black-eyed Susans, chrysanthemums, dahlias. In some flowers of the genus Zinnia, the yellow, five-lobed disc flowers in the head’s center are clearly visible, surrounded by red ray flowers, which most people would incorrectly call “petals.”
We love aster flowers! We decided to change the format of our blog post this week to give you an overview of more than one or two species. Identifying species in the Asteraceae family could turn into a complicated puzzle, and for many botanists, this is what attracts them!
To help us learn the different common species you might observe around Kingston or QUBS, without making it overwhelming, it is important to put them into larger botanical categories. These categories are called subfamilies. The species we have observed over these last weeks, and the ones we are describing in this week’s blog post, fall into three subfamilies: Chicorioideae, Carduoideae and Asteriodeae. Learning the characteristics associated with larger categories (in this case subfamilies) will help you to recognize species out in the field by association – so let’s delve right into it.
Commonly known as the chicory subfamily, these plants have no disk flowers, only ray flowers. The rays may overlap all the way to the centre of the flower head. The stems contain a milky juice, which gives them a bitter taste. They are edible and used in folk medicine as a digestive aid, among other uses. All three of the species highlighted here are introduced from Europe. Common species in this family around QUBS land base are: Pilosella aurantiaca (syn = Hieracium aurantiacum) and Pilosella caespitosa (syn = Hieracium caespitosum). These plants are commonly known as Hawkweed.
a. Taraxacum officinale (common dandelion)
This abundant weed is familiar to most – the ‘blowballs’ formed by the ripe seeds were bringers of wishes in childhood. The bright yellow flowers, 1-2” wide, crop up from spring until fall on hollow stems. The irregularly lobed leaves are attached at the base. The roots, when roasted, are said to make a flavourful coffee substitute.
b. Tragopogon pratensis (yellow goat’s beard)
The flowers of goat’s beard may resemble dandelion heads on a tall stalk, up to 3 feet high. However, they are only open in the early morning light, hence the alternate common name for this species: Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon. The leaves are grass-like, alternate, and clasp the stem. The leaves are edible, it is slightly bitter, as is the root. The plant is biennial – it takes two years to complete its life cycle, and it turns woody in the second year. The genus name comes from the Greek word tragos. “goat,” and pogon “beard.”
c. Cichorium intybus (chicory)
Part of the endive genus, the chicory plant sports light bluish-purple flowers along its branches. Petals are toothed at the end. The entire plant can reach up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall. The leaves are edible, and some species of Cichorium are cultivated for salad greens. Blanching the leaves can reduce their bitter taste. Cichorium is the latinized Arabic name for chicory. The species name intybus comes from the Egiptian word tybi, “January” which is the month in which chicory is traditionally harvested. Common chicory species widely used for food includes the radicchio, puntarelle, and Belgian endive.
Also known as the thistle or artichoke family. Most of the plants in this group will have some prickly parts, usually the leaves. These are characterized by sharp prickles on their edges, which protects them from herbivores. The plants in this subfamily have their flowerheads protected inside a tight wrapping of bracts, like an artichoke, which by the way belong to the genus Cynara. Cornflowers (Centaurea cyanus) is also a member of this subfamily.
d. Centaurea jacea (brown knapweed)
The brown knapweed is a common ornamental garden species, because its purple, funnel-shaped ray flowers are particularly eye-catching. There are several rows of brownish bracts, which distinguishes it from the black knapweed (characterized by blackish bracts). The petals of the rays attract pollinators like bees, flies, and butterflies and direct them to the disk flowers in the centre. This species was also introduced from Europe.
e. Arctium minus (common burdock)
Common burdock is introduced across most of North America but this species is native to Europe and Asia. This species is commonly found in many places in Kingston: backyards, parks, waste grounds, rail-way grades and roadside. The taproots and young shoots are edible. The taproots are widely used in herbal medicine and are considered by some to be effective against skin conditions, infections, and in removing heavy metals from the body. The genus Arctium comes from the Greek word arktos, “bear,” a possible reference to the rough-textured bracts. The species name minus means “smaller.”
This subfamily is further divided into several tribes (more useful for ID purposes compared to tribes in other subfamilies), one being the Anthemideae (Chamomile) tribe. The plants in this tribe are odorous, and many have been used in traditional medicine (like chamomile tea, a well-known herbal sleep remedy). Another characteristic of this tribe is the bracts, which are thin, dry, and translucent.
f. Matricaria discoidea (pineappleweed)
This wildflower, at first glance, does not look much like its chamomile cousins. It grows low to the ground, with the typical yellow disk flowers in heads but lacking rays. In fact, the species name discoidea, means “without rays, disc-like”. Pineapple weed gets its name from the citrusy smell it gives off when crushed. The fresh plant is edible and makes a nice mild tea that has been used to treat stomach pains, colds, and fevers. This species is native to North America!
g. Achillea millefolium (common yarrow)
It is said that the warrior Achilles used a poultice of yarrow to stop bleeding during battle, which may be where the Achillea genus got its name. It is an astringent, as well as a diuretic and diaphoretic. Yarrow is a North American native, recognizable by small clustered flower heads each with 4-6 rays and several disk flowers in the centre. The petals can be white or pink. The leaves have a lance-shaped outline but are divided into many fine segments.
h. Tripleurospermum inodorum (scentless chamomile)
Chamomiles have daisy-like flowers, with white rays and yellow disks. The leaves are finely divided and may be scentless (as in T. inodorum), or strongly scented. It was previously placed in the Matricaria genus with pineapple weed. Despite its name, this species is not one of the commonly used varieties for making chamomile tea.
i. Leucanthemum vulgare (oxeye daisy)
The oxeye daisy bears strong resemblance to the chamomiles; long-stalked white flower heads and yellow disks. They can be differentiated by the leaves, which are slender and toothed as opposed to the finely divided leaves of chamomiles. They also usually bear a single flower head per stalk, whereas chamomiles may have several branches. It is considered an invasive species in parts of North America where it has been introduced.
Also, within the Asteriodeae subfamily is the Astereae tribe, which contains one of our native common North American asters.
j. Erigeron annuus (daisy fleabane)
This daisy-like wildflower is characterized by many rays – usually more than 40. These rays can be white or pinkish. The leaves are distinctively toothed, and the stem is hairy. Daisy fleabane is a pioneer species, which means it is one of the first plants to colonize a new or recently disturbed area. The genus name Erigeron comes from the Greek words eri, “early,” and geron, “old man” a reference to some species flowering and setting fruit early in the growing season.
Asteraceae in the Fowler herbarium.
We have not fully digitized all the cabinets that contain the specimens of this family, however with the incredible work of volunteers Donna and John Greenhorn, undergraduate students Elizabeth Garland (Honours thesis at Dr. Lonnie Aarssen lab 2018), Mahsa Aghaeeaval (SWEP 2019) and Amelie Mahrt-Smith (SWEP 2020), and all the amazing Queen’s volunteers that helped transcribed specimen labels, the database has 374 specimens from more than 30 species. Specimens from Tragopogon, Cirsium, Erigeron, Arctium, Centaurea, Carduus, Grindelia, Bidens, Sonchus, Erechtites and more represent some of the diversity of Asteraceae specimens fully digitized in our collection. Some of the oldest specimens from this family are of Tragopogon pratensis (yellow goat’s beard). We have specimens collected in Kingston since 1831, as part of the original collection of James Fowler. The herbarium also houses specimens across a broad range of localities – Asteraceae species have been collected in eight of the Canadian provinces and five American states. Specimens of bull thistle, Cirsium vulgare, have been donated to the herbarium from Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, British Columbia, and Alberta! The one below was collected by Queen’s student Annie Boyd in 1897. You will likely see these prickly plants in flower later this summer. Check out the beautifully prepared Erigeron annuus specimen collected in the former Pittsburgh Township, now amalgamated into the city of Kingston (as of January 1, 1998) by Assistant Curator A.E. Garwood. He was a self-taught botanist and naturalist, accountant by profession, and a key member and one of the most prolific contributors of the Fowler herbarium during the 90’s. He worked closely with curators Ronald Beschel and Adele Crowder, and other important collectors such as, C.H. Zavitz, S. VanderKloet, R. Hainault, Good M., and Ian Macdonald. Look at the T. pratensis specimen collected by Ian Macdonald and note the differences on the amount and quality of information included on the labels. What do you observe? Can you draw any conclusions regarding the collection methods, the mounting of specimens and the value of data?

The Ranunculaceae family is more commonly known as the buttercup family, which is reminiscent of some of the shiny yellow members of the Ranunculus genus. The buttercup family may be considered “simple” from an evolutionary standpoint, because the floral parts – the petals, sepals, stamens and pistils – are all distinct and not fused in any way. Moreover, reproductive parts are often of an indefinite number as compared to other plant families with predictable numbers of three, four, or five. Some flowers, such as in the columbine, delphinium and clematis have flowers that might look highly complex, but they are still considered “simple” because all the parts are independently attached. There is quite a bit of variation in this family in terms of the number of sepals (3-15), petals (0-23), and stamens; however, for identification, one common pattern to look for is the multiple pistils (3 to more) in the centre of the flower, each with its superior ovary (hypogynous). Some members of the Rose family also have multiple pistils, but they have a hypanthium, a cuplike structure from which the sepals, petals and stamens all arise (perigynous flowers). The leaves are also different in that the roses will often bear prominent stipules, a feature lacking in the Ranunculaceae (Elpel, 2004). For examples of these differences click | here |.
Over the last few weeks, we have seen several examples of species from this family in Kingston. This week we decided to give a turn to two species native to Canada: the red columbine and the Canada anemone.
Aquilegia canadensis (Canada columbine)
A garden favourite, this member of the Ranunculaceae family is native to North America! Aquilegia canadensis, also known as the red columbine, wild columbine, or Canada columbine in English, is probably more familiar as a colourful addition to a carefully tended garden than as a weed. Outside of the city, you may be able to find this short-lived, spring-flowering perennial plant on rocky outcrops, dry woods, slopes, ledges or open areas, but in urban areas like in Kingston, it has been mostly crowded out of untended space by more competitive invasive species like garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata; see our Blog post from June 9th, 2020). It has been suggested that the name Aquilegia is derived from the Latin word Aquila, meaning Eagle, possibly because of the flower’s spurs’ resemblance to an Eagle’s talon.
Columbine flowers are showy and unique, each petal having a long narrow spur at the back. The leaves grow in leaflets of 3 with deep lobes. The Canada columbine can be differentiated from similar columbine species like the European columbine (A. vulgaris) by its scarlet flowers with a yellow centre, and its stamens, which are long and protrude from the flower; the European columbine’s flowers are typically blue, purple, or white, and their stamens are not protruding (Newcomb 1977). Canada columbines can grow in a wide range of well-drained soil and can tolerate moderate shade. As well, this species is said to have good resistance to leaf miner beetles, which often cause damage to other species of columbines. For some tips on growing A. canadensis in your garden, as well as a shortlist of some other columbine species native to Canada, see | here |
The columbine flower produces nectar in its spurs, which attracts a variety of pollinators, including the ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris). It is also a food source for the rusty-patched bumblebee, Bombus affinis, an endangered species of bumblebee native to Ontario whose numbers have declined due to several ecological factors, including habitat loss (Macior 1966). Although the rusty-patched bumblebee has not been seen in Ontario outside of the Pinery Provincial Park since 2002, there are many other native species of bumblebee that would appreciate some Canada columbines to snack on in your garden! This includes some threatened North American bumblebee species such as B. fervidus and B. pensylvanicus, as well as the hummingbird clearwing moth (Hemaris thysbe). Although it might seem logical to think that A. canadensis would reproduce primarily via outcrossing, genetic analysis using progeny arrays from populations across its range have shown that approximately 75% of its seed, on average, are the product of self-fertilization. Thus, Canada’s columbine has a mix-mating or selfing mating system, rather than outcrossing (Eckert and Herlihy 2004).
Queen’s Biology faculty member Dr Chris Eckert has investigated several aspects of A. canadensis life history, floral morphology, ecology and evolution; some of his research on A. canadensis conducted at the Queen’s University Biological Station can be found on the QUBS Research Projects website. In recent years, the genus Aquilegia has become a model system for the study of floral evolution and development because of its unusual floral morphology and the recent explosion in the number of species associated with pollinator shifts and other ecological factors. To take advantage of these features, a collaborative group has developed several genetic and genomic resources that have facilitated the study of the genetic basis of these morphological innovations (Kramer 2009).
Canada Anemone (Anemonstrum canadense)
The Canada anemone, or ‘windflower’, is an inconspicuous member of the Ranunculaceae family in flower this month. They are not quite as abundant in urban areas as some other introduced ranunculus species, such as the common or tall buttercup (Ranunculus acris), the creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens), or other common garden escapees, but you may still stumble across this low white flower in the Kingston area. The name ‘anemone’ is an Ancient Greek word meaning ‘daughter of the wind’. Ironically, this species prefers sites protected from wind since strong winds can bend or break the thin flower stalks.
This species was, until recently, part of the Anemone sensu lato (in the broad sense) genus and is often still called by its synonym Anemone canadensis. However, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that there were many more species and genera that needed to be included in the genus to satisfy the criterion of monophyly. Instead of renaming hundreds of species and including morphologically different genera such as Clematis (virgin’s-bower), Pulsatilla or Hepatica, the Anemone genus was regrouped into several genera, one of them being Anemonastrum, where Canada anemone is currently placed (Mosyakin 2016).
The leaves of the Canada anemone have 3-5 deep lobes and toothed edges, and they have long stalks that emerge from a clump at the base. The flowers are white with many yellow stamens in the centre bearing pollen that attract pollinators. The notable features of the flower are the white petal-like sepals, usually 5 per flower. Sepals are a division of the outer part of the flower called the calyx and are often green and resemble leaves; whereas petals are a division of the inner part of the flower called the corolla and are often showy and attract insects. In A. canadense there are only sepals (modified to look like petals) and the petals are absent.
The Canada anemone typically inhabits river margins, low moist meadows,and thickets. In nature, it can be found growing in massive colonies, and in cultivated areas is a common garden escapee. It is distributed throughout southern Canada from Newfoundland to British Columbia and in the U.S from Maine to Montana south to West Virginia, Missouri, Kansas and scattered through the Rocky Mountains to New Mexico. It is a perennial that can grow in semi-shaded areas and makes a beautiful addition to gardens while also benefitting the ecosystem by supporting native pollinator communities! Keep an eye out for this wildflower throughout the summer months around Kingston, ON – it is more than just a weed.
Ethnobotanical and medicinal uses
A predominant property in the plants of the Buttercup family is an acrid protoanemonin glycoside oil. Most of the species are listed as poisonous, but most are safe to taste, as long as you spit it out! The buttercup taste is biting and acrid, and its strength varies between species. The acrid properties of the buttercups are unstable and are destroyed by drying or cooking, so the very mild buttercups are edible as salad greens or potherbs. Plants in the buttercup family have been studied for possible medicinal use since the 1900s. The chemical compound protoanemonin has irritant but also antibiotic properties. The Pawnee peoples of what is now Oklahoma used A. canadensis to treat headaches, and closely related species had medicinal uses ranging from topical wound care to reviving unconscious people (Turner 1984). A. canadense was used by many Indigenous peoples in medicine. Traditional knowledge about the plant’s properties and how to prepare them for medicinal use is paramount – one risks further discomfort and injury from improper use of traditional medicine. The Ojibwe, an Anishnaabe peoples who have inhabited the Great Lakes region for thousands of years, used A. canadense and other closely related species of Ranunculaceae as a poultice or wash to treat superficial wounds, as a remedy for colds and headaches, and for the revival of unconscious people (Turner 1984).
Using herbarium specimens to understand phenology
As the negative impacts of human activities on ecosystems become deniable, and more pressing to attend than ever, researchers need biological data spanning hundreds of years to understand how anthropogenic drivers affect biodiversity and natural resources. Changes in the timing of key life-history events, such as reproduction (flowering and fruiting) are among the most obvious and well-documented species responses to climatic change, especially for plants. In recent years, the scientific community has started to turn their attention to hundreds of millions of plants, fungal and animal specimens deposited in natural history museums as a potential source of these data. The increasing number of museum specimens becoming available online combined with newly developed web-enabled crowdsourcing platforms (i.e. CrowdCurio) and protocols for scoring and analyzing phenological data provide unparalleled access to ecological and evolutionary data spanning decades and sometimes centuries. Park et al. (2019) capitalized on the snapshots of phenology (i.e. flowering and fruiting) that herbarium specimens offer to increase the spatial, temporal and taxonomic diversity of phenological studies. They used 7,722 herbarium specimens from 30 flowering plant species with varying life-history traits, growth forms, native status and general reproductive seasonality (e.g. early- versus late-spring flowering), spanning 120 years and modelling to understand how phenology changes in response to climate change. Their study included the red columbine and Canada anemone!
Their results showed that early-flowering species flowered and fruited earlier in response to warmer spring temperatures and that the magnitude of these responses varies significantly between and within species across their latitudinal ranges. They also found that fruiting in populations from warmer, lower latitudes are significantly more phenologically sensitive to temperature than that for populations from colder, higher-latitude regions.
By bringing you these bits of information from the scientific literature we want to raise awareness of these unparalleled resources. Herbaria and natural history museums are under constant threat owing to budget cuts and other institutional pressures. Like the study by Parker et al. (2019), more publications out there are shedding light on the unique discoveries that are possible using museums specimens, and thus, pointing to the singular value of natural history collections in a period of rapid change.

Capsella bursa-pastoris may at first appear to be just another weed blending into the sea of fresh spring greenery. But take a closer look at this plant commonly known as Shepherd’s Purse, and you will notice the curious appendages from which it got its name. Its distinctive seed pods – small pouches in the shape of a heart – bear resemblance to an old-fashioned style of purse carried by shepherds in centuries past . This widespread edible weed is a part of the Mustard family, Brassicaceae. This family is shared by garlic mustard (see our previous post about it), thale cress, and many common supermarket vegetables like broccoli and kale. Of the five species in the Capsella genus, C. bursa-pastoris is the only one found in North America, which makes it easier to identify this species in your community.
Shepherd’s Purse is a cosmopolitan weed: it is found all over the world. Its secret weapon is its ability to grow in a wide variety of conditions. It can be found in disturbed ground or dumps, and frequently invades the cultivated soil in gardens and crops. It can grow in full sun or partial shade, dry or moist soils, and even cracks in concrete (Image 1); its hardiness makes it a good contender for urban living . You can identify Shepherd’s purse by its large leaves with irregular lobes at the base of the stem, and smaller, arrow-shaped leaves that clasp the stem. In good conditions, it can reach 60-80 cm tall. Its tiny white clustered flowers have four petals each (with the 6 distinctive stamens: 2 outer short and the 4 inner long). The most identifiable feature is the heart-shaped seed pods attached to the main stem by a long stalk, which makes it distinguishable from similar plants like wild mustard (Image 2) . Early in the spring, Shepherd’s Purse’s flowers begin to bloom, and they will continue to bloom until late fall. It is an annual, which means an individual plant only survives for one year, but several generations can be produced during the warmer months, and a single plant can produce up to 45,000 seeds! This is a high level of production that is facilitated, in part, by their ability to self-pollinate. Instead of waiting for an insect to come by and transfer pollen from one individual to another, the pollen simply fertilizes the flower from which it was produced (or a close neighbouring flower) .
C. bursa-pastoris was introduced to North America by European settlers many times over. In the southwestern United States, it hitched a ride with Spanish colonizers, while further north in the U.S. and Canada, we have the British and French colonists to blame . Shepherd’s Purse was once an important European medicinal herb, especially for women. Like many plants, has been overtaken by more effective modern drugs. All its parts are edible and can be used as a peppery seasoning – although we do not recommend you try this with unfamiliar plants! The leaves, which are high in vitamins and minerals, were traditionally made into a tea for the relief of pre-menstrual cramps and to reduce the risk of haemorrhaging after childbirth [1,2]. The Fowler Herbarium at the Queen’s University Biological Station has C. bursa-pastoris specimens collected in Kingston during the 1800s. This beautifully preserved Shepherd’s Purse specimen was collected in 1862 in the former township of Ramsay, Lanark County, which lies between modern-day Kingston and Ottawa. Notice the defining features of C. burasa-pastoris: the larger basal leaves, small stem leaves, heart-shaped seed pods, and clusters of tiny flowers at the tip (no longer white, but you get the idea.

1. All materials submitted for publication in the journal must be registered by a member of the editorial board or the executive secretary of the journal, indicating the date of receipt of the manuscript to the publisher. The decision to publish (indicating the date of publication) or to refuse publication is made by the Editor-in-Chief and communicated to the author no later than one month after the manuscript was submitted.
2. All materials submitted for publication in the journal are subject to obligatory preliminary verification for compliance with the established formal requirements for published materials (compliance with the content of the article stated in the title, permissible volume, structure, design, presence of keywords and abstract in Russian and English in required volume, bibliography), as well as the verification of the presence in the manuscript of signs of illegal borrowing of the text.
3. The journal uses double blind peer review. All materials not rejected as a result of preliminary verification are subject to mandatory independent scientific review by at least two experts in an area close to the subject of the material; for both reviewers and author, the review is anonymous. If in the process of reviewing the article any conflict of interest is disclosed, the reviewer is obliged to notify the editors immediately and refuse the review.
By the decision of the Editor-in-Chief of the journal, an additional peer-review may be carried out, including the case of a second submission of material by the author after correction.
The editorial board of the journal in its work is guided by the legal requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation with regard to copyright, plagiarism and ethical principles supported by the community of leading publishers of scientific periodicals, and also follows the guidelines of the international Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), Association of Science Editors and Publishers (ASEP), standards approved at the 2nd World Conference on Research Integrity (Singapore, July 22–24, 2010), as well as other regulatory documents governing the ethics of publishing scientific results.
4. The reviewer must check the following points:
1) Research and informational novelty of the material;
2) Correspondence of peer-reviewed material with existing literature, published data and current research on the issue;
3) Indications of illegal borrowing or other forms of violation by the author of scientific ethics;
4) Practical significance of the material (if it is available);
5) Indications of religious and/or apologetic approaches to the formulation and solution of the problems;
6) Clearness of the material, its corresponding to the general and special requirements to the structure of publication or not, its language and style, used terminology, visibility of tables, charts, figures and formulas; whether the findings and conclusions correspond with the obtained data; whether footnotes and references formating is correct;
5. Based on the results of the review, the reviewer should choose one of the following recommendations:
1) Paper may be published as submitted (without improvements and revisal);
2) Paper may be published after introducing corrections and/or additions in accordance with the reviewer comments;
3) Paper is rejected without the right to resubmission.
No more than a single revision of the material submitted for publication is allowed. If an illegal borrowing is found in the material submitted for publication, the material is rejected without the right to revise and resubmit.
6. The author's identity is not revealed to the reviewers, and vice versa. Based on the results of the double blind peer review, the author is sent a list of comments and suggestions from scientific reviewers with a proposal to take them into account when finalizing the material and determining further conditions for the publication of the material. If the material is rejected, a motivated refusal is sent to the author.
7. The presence of a positive review is not a sufficient basis for the publication of an article. The final decision on the advisability of publication is made by the editorial board of the journal and is recorded in the minutes of the meeting of the editorial board. If there are discrepancies in the editorial board regarding the publication of the article, the final decision is made by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
8. Reviews are stored in the editorial office for 5 years from the date of publication of the material or the date of the decision to reject the manuscript. Upon receipt of the appropriate request by the editorial board, copies of reviews can be sent to the Ministry of Higher Education and Science.

ABOUT MARK LEWIS
Mark Lewis is an urban photographer based in Johannesburg. For the past ten years he has traversed the dense inner core and the constantly shifting edges of the City of Johannesburg. His images are an interplay between people and space. At root they are tales of lives carved in the search for economic opportunity and the stories of the impacts of those lives on the spatial fabric of the city. His work has been widely exhibited and published, and he has completed the tenth book in the popular series of Johannesburg stories called Wake Up, This is Joburg with writer and urban planner, Tanya Zack. This work formed part of the South African pavilion on the 2015 Venice Biennale.

ADDIS ABABA: YEKA ABADO
In the city-region of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the areas of Yeka Abado/Legetafo are located in the northeast of the city, but within relatively easy distance of the commercial centre of Addis. They straddle the border with Oromia (a separate Federal Region) with Yeka Abado falling with Addis and Legetafo falling just outside. Yeka Abado is dominated by state subsidised condominium housing but the area also contains informal housing areas and farmer settlements. Neighbouring Legetafo is an upmarket gated community abutting farmland.
- LINK TO REGION: [ https://rb.gy/krgibc
GAUTENG: PROTEA GLEN / WATERWORKS / LUFHERENG
These three settlements are located in the Gauteng city-region, to the west of Soweto, and on the western municipal boundary of Johannesburg. Lufhereng is a partially built state-subsidised ‘mega-human settlement’ of mixed income housing including ‘RDP’ and bonded housing. Waterworks is a small informal settlement located to the south of Lufhereng, on the Rand West side of the municipal boundary. It is currently undergoing evacuation as residents are being relocated to the neighbouring municipality as a result of planned developments on the site. Protea Glen, also to the south of Lufhereng, is a lower-middle income private sector development which includes a shopping mall.
- LINK TO REGION: [ https://bit.ly/3kUKjc9
GAUTENG: EKANDUSTRIA/ EKANGALA / RETHABISENG / DARK CITY / PHUMEKAYA
These settlements are located in the Gauteng city-region towards the eastern edge of the Tshwane municipality and the border of the Gauteng province with Mpumulanga. They are a complex of township developments north of the nearby town of Bronkhorstspruit with Rethabiseng the closest to the town. The settlements are adjacent to the declining Ekandustria industrial site, established under apartheid as a decentralisation point. The wider area includes a mix of established and more recent RDP houses as well as Phumekaya informal settlement.
- LINK TO REGION: [ https://bit.ly/3aGl6NR
ETHEKWINI: HAMMOND'S FARM / WATERLOO / CONNISTON / CANELANDS
Northern eThekwini is a collection of settlements located to the north of the city, near King Shaka airport, and relatively close to the growing northern economic node of Umhlanga / Gateway. The case includes Hammond’s Farm, a recently developed terraced RDP housing settlement and adjacently located Waterloo, an area of consolidated state housing. Canelands/Coniston Informal settlements are located alongside an area of factories within close proximity of nearby Verulam, the key commercial centre.
- LINK TO REGION: [ https://bit.ly/3l0G0Mv
The second eThekwini case is Molweni/Crestholme, which is located in the hilly outer west of the eThekwini city-region, to the south of the substantial Inanda Dam, and west of the Umgeni River. It is dominated by peri-urban Molweni and includes large sections of traditional authority land, with the resultant housing form mixed between RDP housing, traditional structures and row housing. Adjacent is the wealthier settlement of Crestholme, consisting of substantial private and gated properties, with a recently built mall.
- LINK TO REGION: [ https://rb.gy/u06lvv
ADDIS ABABA: TULU DIMTU
This settlement is peripherally located in the southeast of the city, also straddling the border with Oromia. It primarily encompasses a substantial area of new condominium houses but includes informal housing and an expansive area of co-operative housing which are multi-storey, multi-household units developed through residents collaboratively. The settlement lies relatively close to several major industrial parks, which include a Chinese-owned facility adjacent to the nearby town of Dukem which is just over the Addis border. A substantial condominium housing project, Koye Fetche, is currently under construction nearby.

GAUTENG: WINTERVELD/ CHECKERS/ MADIBENG HILLS
Winterveld is located to the north of the Gauteng city-region, in northern Tshwane. It is a large and sprawling area developed during Apartheid as a relocation site. It includes Checkers to the north, and an informal settlement called Madibeng Hills, located just over the border of Tshwane in neighbouring Klipgat Municipality, part of North West province. The wider settlement includes a mixture of RDP housing and informal properties, which are often located on large sub-divided plots.

So…I finally got a chance to see The New Mutants and I think the long time it took to get it re-shot and re-edited did it some good. Speaking as a Marvel fan in general and specifically a fan of the comic, it was good to see the source material adhered to (for the most part) closely. There were things skipped over, but I think that it was done so with the idea that the sequel would answer them. Sadly, this would not be the case. This movie signals the final 20th Century Fox / Marvel collaboration. Upside: mutants join the MCU (‘mutant’ was owned by Fox for the longest time. That’s why you never heard Agent Coulson refer to mutants, but to ‘enhanced individuals’), downside: we’ll more than likely never run into Mr. Sinister, the Exxex Corporation or the current cast of New Mutants being carried over.
That’s a shame because the actors and actresses they cast nailed the roles. Maisie Williams was excellent at Rahne / Wolfsbane. She captured the skittishness of a character caught between her religion, her self and her mutancy. Anya Taylor-Joy gave us the understandably aloof Illyana and the utterly frightening Magick. Charlie Heaton’s performance of Sam Guthrie didn’t drop into the realm of stereotype Kentucky redneck, but gave the future leader an ‘aw-shucks’ quality about him.
This is not a superhero film – this is a teen horror film in superhero’s clothing. Finally, someone understands the formula (DCU…I’m looking at you) and has applied it. The director did say that he had to tone down quite a bit…and I would have loved to see the film he imagined. From what I did see, it would have been more straight up horror – a genre that I have yet to really see in the superhero trappings (yes – I know we’re going to get something like that with the second Dr. Strange film, but there were other really good chances for that).
Now, having said all of this…I would wait until it hits digital. If you’re a fan of the comic – see it in the cinema. If you’re not, or you’re a casual Marvel fan, then definitely wait. Since this is the last Fox mutant movie, there’s no need to get hooked on the current cast (especially if you’re like me).
As far as the writing goes…still trying to edit down the current project. I am dedicated to getting it out there before the first week of December and getting out a couple of other projects done before then as well. It is a drag, but it needs to be done as I want Valentina’s Feast to be the best it can be.
Now, those of you who want to hear what I sound like (don’t know why) or even know what my face looks like (see above comment), I am going to be a part of a male author panel soon. When I get more information, I will pass it along. I will also be hawking my works as well, so have a card or cash ready.
Hope everyone has a good day!

The first impression that a potential customer receives from a restaurant is through the menu, which is even more important if the customers are foreigners, since they haven’t got the cultural culinary background as a reference, and their choice will be based solely on the description of the dishes. A specialised translation will make your dishes an effective marketing tool. If, on the other hand, the translation is literal or unintelligible, said potential customers will lose interest in your business.
Another great benefit a good translation will add to your restaurant, is that the customers will always be clear about what they are going to eat, which will not only will give the restaurant a good reputation, but also will save the staff time, facilitating their work during the service. It will also avoid many complaints, which is very important, considering that the user experience is the most important thing for any business, especially in the technological era in which we live, since a dissatisfied customer can give very bad publicity through social networks.
Our goal is to improve the image of your establishment and avoid confusions and incoherence produced by the literality of online or non-specialised translations.
Our translation system is based on the deep culinary and cultural knowledge of each country and the mastery of cooking techniques and local products at a professional level.
Communication with our customers is very important when performing our task, for an optimal result it is essential that we know the menu to translate as well as its creator. Therefore a personalised and direct approach is necessary in order to clarify any particularity of the recipes and so that the client can communicate any relevant information to us about the business.
Based on the above mentioned factors we will make a translation faithful to the dish preparation and not only to the words. We will recognise when a dish needs an explanation and we will describe it in a reliable way and as clearly as possible. We will know when and how to enhance the quality of a product. We will avoid the errors and nonsense produced by literality.
Our team consists of professionals with a long working history cooking in the countries whose languages are translated, and natives from said countries.
Our team of translators is made up of a collective of experienced culinary professionals and native speakers from the countries of translation origin. This fusion of language expertise and passion for gastronomy is the perfect recipe for translating your menu ‘just right’.

Allow me to introduce myself properly, my name is Gemm and if you’ve been following We Are South Devon for a while, you may remember that I used to write News Articles from time to time when I was 16.
A lot has changed since then. I am now 24, living and breathing English and Creative Writing at the University of Plymouth.
However, the last eight years have not been your stereotypical evolution of teen to adolescent; that being – Teen transitions into an Adult and goes straight from College to University. (Amidst these dark and turbulent times for me, are many other stories that I hope to inspire you with throughout the next few months).
Today I want to talk about addictions and substance abuse disorder. Addiction has no bias, it has no stereotype and addicts know how to hide it well. Anybody around you could be an addict and show absolutely no signs, i.e – GP’s, teachers, politicians, scholars, police-men and women, your children, your parents, etc. Anybody that we trust the most – could – have some type of addiction – whether that be to opiates, methadone, crack cocaine or alcohol. The lists are endless on both sides of the table.
“I promise, in time, it can and does get easier. Believe in yourself, know your triggers and be conscious of who and what you want to become. It is never, ever too late to change your path.”
How do I know this? I am a recovering opioid addict myself. On the 8th of March, I will be celebrating five months clean of an 8 year opioid addiction: codeine, tramadol, morphine, co-codamol… again, the list of easily accessible opioid painkillers is endless. Although my story does not end with me using street heroin/morphine – this is how many addicts get to the point of going to theses extremes to self-medicate. You see, eventually – addicts run out of money and will do anything to get their next hit – even if that is to only aid in avoiding withdrawal symptoms. That, my friends, is how a lot of heroin addicts end up in this state.
Everybody’s story is different, but allow me to tell you mine and finish off with some helpful tips and resources for those experiencing or witnessing drug addiction first hand. It’s not as easy as it seems.
I was sixteen years old when I had my first taste of opioid painkillers. No amount of ibuprofen or paracetamol would help; so I snuck into my father’s medicine drawer where I knew he’d have something legally prescribed to him that would help me. It did, and in all honesty – the euphoric side effects that came with it were eventually what led me to spiral out of control when I was eighteen years old. Looking back, I am devastated at my behavior – stealing medication for my own benefit off of my own dad. However, when you are (unknowingly – in my case) an addict, you will do and say whatever it takes to get to feel that euphoria and relaxation again.
At around the age of 21, I spiraled further and further into addiction. I hid it well at this point – perhaps somewhere deep inside of me I knew that I had a problem, but I couldn’t admit that to myself. I began buying prescriptions of codeine in its purest form online. This would cost me around £35.00 for the amount that I needed at the time. I lived with an ex-partner at this point, kept them hidden and took them every time I felt I was going to stop feeling euphoric.
Around the age of 22/23, I began buying online prescriptions upward of £80.00 per week for 112 pure codeine tablets. Why this many? My tolerance became so high that I needed to take 300mg of codeine in one go to feel any type of euphoria or even normality. Opioids were my priority over anything or anyone in my life – still, I was blinded by this fog of addiction. They were the first thing I ingested in the morning and the last thing I consumed in the evening. When I hit 24, I was living back with my Dad again, still buying painkillers and still hiding them away – my very own little secret. One box of 112 tablets would last me for a maximum of 3 days. Upon reflection, unless you have experienced addiction before, you have no idea how disgusted I am with myself and the steps I took over those eight years.
Before I knew it, I was made redundant. What did this mean? I was left with no money and no choice but to steal painkillers again. If I did not get that ‘fix’, I’d begin experiencing withdrawal symptoms. These were so bad, that I had to go to any pharmacy I could to get over the counter 8/500mg co-codomal. Not thinking about the amount of Paracetamol I was taking, I would ingest a whole box within 24-48 hours to prevent any type of withdrawal symptom.
After intervention from my Dad, I decided to sign up to the Torbay Drug and Alcohol Service. I had one session with them and some over the phone sessions. But what was in the back of my mind? If I tell them how bad it is, they will prescribe me more to help me taper off. This was not the case.
Over the summer, I moved to Plymouth and began my new and exciting life studying English and Creative Writing. I continued to buy over the counter medication, walked miles to pharmacies that didn’t recognize me (as in the City – they have some sort of very smart system that means no matter what Pharmacy you go to, you’re not allowed any more than what they have previously given to you).
I was back up in Torquay to visit my dog and parents during a reading week in October 2019. It is here that my situation got very real and went downhill very quickly. With no access to prescriptions or over the counter medications, I rang my GP in hysterics asking me to prescribe me some to help me taper off. He started to question me and was very blunt. His words (may not be exact but to the best of my memory were): “You have just told me that you are taking 32 tablets per day for weeks that contain 500mg of paracetamol. Gemma, we will sort out your addiction problem later, but I urge you to go straight to hospital, because although you feel fine, you will die over the next few days. You do not feel liver failure. You are having an accumulative overdose and I am surprised that you’re even coherent enough to speak to me over the phone. Get to A&E now.”
Of course, this petrified me – I didn’t want to die. So my current partner selflessly dropped everything he was doing and took me straight to the hospital. After being prodded and poked with needles several times, I was indeed about to have an overdose. I am extremely lucky to be here today and have the support around me that I do to ensure that I do not relapse back into opioids. I was hospitalised and on an IV for 30 hours before I was ready for release. Every doctor and nurse told me and my parents that I was very lucky to not have needed a liver transplant. I cried hysterically in the hospital, begging for any painkiller I could, but they refused (obviously, for good reason).
On the day of my release, my mum took me straight down to the DAAS again and we spoke with the specialist GP. After much back and forth, he prescribed me with a weeks worth of Diazepam and Zopiclone to help take the edge off of my withdrawals.
I was on 24 hour watch by my parents and my partner, they gave me each dose as and when I was to take it, however I began to panic when we were nearing the end of that week. After much research, I found so many different ‘magical’ remedies that have helped me stay clean of Opiates for 5 months. I still use them to this day, they’re very helpful in terms of the psychological effects of opiate withdrawal (which can last up to and sometimes over a year). I still think about it & I am still in a place where if it was offered to me I would take it, so I removed myself from any situation/friend-group that could trigger a relapse.
I am now living a happier and healthier lifestyle, succeeding in University and I still attend support groups (i.e Narcotics Anonymous) to have talk therapy and speak with people who can relate.
Since December, I have not touched paracetamol or alcohol, as I need to give my liver the time to recover and regenerate. I will leave some links that were extremely useful for me and my inner circle to help me come off and stay off opiates for good.
There are various pages, YouTube channels and websites below to help anybody who is currently experiencing or witnessing a loved one suffer through addiction.
I promise, in time, it can and does get easier. Believe in yourself, know your triggers and be conscious of who and what you want to become. It is never, ever too late to change your path.

“Shorting is the Worst Job”: Short Seller Andrew Left, Citron Research, who’s short Facebook, which is soaring, after reporting booming revenue and profit.
The moment of maximum pain.
Thankless way of trying to make a buck – ironically benefitting consumers, taxpayers, and investors.
It took a few days, but now all that moolah has ignited.
A disturbing scenario for folks fretting about “financial instability,” as it’s called.

According to legend, pioneer Lewis Tackett was captured by Shawnee at his home near the mouth of the Coal River at Saint Albans, West Virginia, and was bound to a tree here. According to most versions of the tale, while his captors were off hunting, a rainstorm wet his leather bindings, and Tackett was able to escape. He later established a fort near the mouth of the Coal River, which was afterward attacked by Shawnee.
In Supplemental Volume One of the West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia, editor Jim Comstock reported that the pioneer taken captive was Samuel Sackett.
The point of land on which the pine long stood is still a well-known landmark along old US-35.

A different kind of fictional world can be observed in Anna Gaskell\'s work. Her series of photographic episodes (Wonder and Override) are based on a loose re-interpretation of Lewis Carroll\'s Alice in Wonderland. Gaskell treats her medium as a kind of stage set onto which she projects her child-centered concerns and enigmatic dramatic action. Apart from the fictional references however there lurks a disquieting sub-text often with sadistic overtones that centres around notions of childhood identity and transformation the transition from innocence to experience naiveté to knowing; suppressed eroticism and sexual awakening on the other hand are expressed through images of the fractured body. The artist adopts a cinematic approach towards photography employing \'actors\' (young girls) artificial lighting and \'framing\' the action taking place within the picture space. Unusual viewing angles and close ups violent cropping and stark contrasts of shadow and light result in a set of menacing claustrophobic spaces that intimate not only anxiety about ones coming of age but a general psychological unease. Gaskell\'s work does not posses specific narrative but rests rather on a series of suggestive \'actions\'. In fact her whole oeuvre is based on implication rather than description; it is this ambiguity hovering as it does between what is imagined and what one sees between reality and fiction that reinforces the sense of malaise and intrigue for the viewer.

If there’s such thing as a perfect storm for a defense, it might be headed toward West Lafayette, Ind.
Ohio State is set to hit the road to face Purdue on Saturday at Ross-Ade Stadium, and the Buckeyes have struggled throughout the year on pass defense, allowing 221.6 yards per game to rank 59th in the nation. Purdue just so happens to rank seventh nationally in pass offense with 330.8 yards per game.
If the Buckeyes want to keep their perfect record intact, they might need to find a way to flip that script – and they might be doing it without starting cornerback Damon Arnette, who is questionable for the game.
“They challenge you in many ways,” Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano said in regard to the Boilermakers. “Schematically, they use a ton of different personnel groups. Schematically, they also use a ton of different formations. They do a lot of trick plays. They make you dot every ‘i’ and cross every ‘t.’
“So we’re going to have to be at our very best Saturday night.”
Purdue is led by quarterback David Blough, who ranks 24th in the country with 1,695 passing yards despite playing a bit part in the first two games of the year. Blough threw for 572 yards in a week-three loss to Missouri and has tallied 296, 328 and 377 yards in his past three games, respectively, all wins.
The Boilermaker offense has also gotten a big boost from freshman wide receiver Rondale Moore, who is 28th in the nation with 558 yards and five touchdowns on 45 receptions. That yardage total actually puts him one spot ahead of Ohio State’s most prolific receiver – Parris Campbell, who has 43 receptions for 557 yards, although he has seven scores.
“He’s a good player,” Ohio State junior safety Jordan Fuller said of Moore. “His change of direction’s really good. His top-end speed is really good, too. We’ve definitely got to keep him in our sights at all times. Just trust your techniques and trust the defenses that we’re in and the coaches’ call.”
Even with a prolific quarterback in Blough and a big-play threat in Moore, the Purdue offense hasn’t always been firing on all cylinders this year. In fact, the Boilermakers scored just 19 points in a one-point loss to Eastern Michigan in week two. Since then, though, they’ve scored 37, 30, 42 and 46 points in consecutive weeks after Blough took over the starting job.
It will be up to the Ohio State defense to slow down that attack, but some pressure will be on the Buckeye offense as well. If Purdue puts up points – which is likely, based on how the offense has played and how the Ohio State defense has played – then Dwayne Haskins and Co. will be tasked with putting up even more.
“You go out there on offense and you just score because you know you might be in a shootout playing against those guys,” Haskins said. “I’m looking forward to playing them.”

From the Calaveras Enterprise:
Earlier this month, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order placing a moratorium on the death penalty in California, citing a morally unjust and “failed” system that discriminates against the mentally ill, the impoverished and racial minorities.
Although the order does not alter any existing convictions or sentences, the lethal injection chamber at San Quentin State Prison has been shut down, and the 25 death row inmates who have exhausted their appeals will no longer be eligible for an execution date during Newsom’s term.
Since the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1978, the state of California has executed 13 inmates. The most recent execution was carried out in 2006.
With 737 inmates, California’s death row population is the largest in the nation. Calaveras County has produced some of the deadliest killers at San Quentin, with Wesley Shermantine, one of 81 inmates convicted of four or more killings, and Charles Ng – possibly the most prolific killer on death row – believed to have murdered as many as 25 men, women and children.
A memorial for the unidentified victims of Charles Ng and Leonard Lake at Peoples Cemetery in San Andreas. A mass grave was discovered at Lake’s Wilseyville cabin in 1985, containing as many as 25 victims.
West Point property manager Sandy Maynard doesn’t like to revisit the memory of her one-time tenants Lonnie Bond, Brenda O’Connor and their infant son, murdered by Ng and his accomplice, Leonard Lake. However, she doesn’t mince her words when voicing her disapproval of the moratorium.
“I think we need the death penalty, and I think the governor is not acting in a way that the people support,” Maynard told the Enterprise.
Here are the Mother Lode murderers who are currently on death row.
Keith Adcox, 57
Modesto resident Keith Adcox was convicted of murdering fisherman David Orozco in 1982 while camping near the North Fork of the Tuolumne River. Adcox’s 16-year-old girlfriend, Annette Tillery, allegedly proposed that Adcox, then 20, and their 18-year-old acquaintance Howard Love kill a fisherman to obtain some money for cinnamon rolls. Adcox and Love accused each other of shooting Orozco in the head and stealing his wallet and car. The Tuolumne County Superior Court found both guilty, but Love was given a lesser sentence of life in prison. Adcox has been awaiting execution since 1983.
Jerry Frye, 63
Jerry Frye, of Sacramento, was convicted of murdering elderly prospectors Robert and Lucille Brandt in 1985 while he was cultivating a marijuana farm at a gold mining claim in Amador County. According to his girlfriend’s testimony, Frye shot the couple with a shotgun inside their cabin, stealing their cash and gold. He was arrested months later in South Dakota after a domestic disturbance and admitted to the officer that he was wanted for double-murder. He was extradited to Amador County and sentenced to death in 1988.
Charles Ng, 58
Charles Ng and his accomplice, Leonard Lake, are believed to have raped, tortured and murdered as many as 25 victims in the mid-1980s at a “dungeon” near Lake’s cabin in Wilseyville. Lake died in custody after swallowing cyanide pills, and Ng was extradited to Calaveras County after fleeing to Canada. He was later tried in Orange County and convicted of 11 homicides, condemned by evidence including a mass grave, journaled accounts and video footage the pair compiled during their killings. Ng has remained on death row since 1999.
Wesley Shermantine, 53
One half of the “Speed Freak Killers,” Wesley Shermantine is suspected of committing dozens of murders in a methamphetamine-fueled killing spree between 1984 and 1999, along with his longtime friend, Loren Herzog. The deadly duo, from Linden, was convicted in the deaths of 25-year-old Cyndi Vanderheiden and 16-year-old Chevelle “Chevy” Wheeler, whose bodies were uncovered near San Andreas in 2012, as well as several other murders throughout Calaveras and San Joaquin counties. Herzog’s conviction was overturned and his sentence was reduced due to faulty police work, but he later hung himself after learning that Shermantine had released the location of a well site in Linden that proved to be a mass grave. Shermantine has claimed 72 murders and was convicted of four. He was sentenced to death in 2001.
Cary Stayner, 57
While working as a handyman at Cedar Lodge near Yosemite National Park in 1999, Cary Stayner went on a killing spree. He was convicted of kidnapping and murdering hotel guests Carole Sund, her 15-year-old daughter Juli Sund, and 16-year-old Argentinian exchange student Silvina Pelosso, as well as 26-year-old naturalist Joie Ruth Armstrong. Carole Sund’s and Pelosso’s remains were discovered in Sund’s charred rental car in Tuolumne County. Juli Sund’s body was located days later after Stayner sent a letter to the FBI, and Armstrong’s decapitated body was found a few months later. Stayner was arrested within the year at a nudist resort and confessed to the murders. The defendant’s lawyers argued that he suffered from mental illness and had a history of abuse, but Stayner was found sane and was sentenced to death in 2002.

How to Renew Your Drivers License in Arkansas
An Arkansas drivers license renewal is required once every four years, allowing the state to ensure that the information on all driving credentials are up-to-date. It is important to note that this procedure is different from requesting a replacement license, despite the fact that these two processes are often confused. While renewing a driver’s license is required by the government every few years, you only need to replace a valid credential if it lost or damaged significantly.
In this article, you will learn how to renew your driver’s license in AR, such as what the eligibility requirements are, which DMV offices process these requests and how much a renewal costs. Despite the fact that the state does not offer the option to renew a drivers license online, there are a number of other methods you may choose from. To explore these alternative methods, read the sections below.
Eligibility for Drivers License Renewal in Arkansas
Note: The expiration date of your driver’s license is located on the front of it, right next to the issue date.
Any motorist who holds a valid drivers license can visit an Arkansas drivers license office in person and renew their credential. On the other hand, be mindful that there are certain restrictions placed on drivers who are between 14 and 16 years of age and wish to renew their licenses.
Instances When You Cannot Renew Your Drivers License in Arkansas
If your driving credential has been suspended, canceled or revoked, you will not be able to request a DMV license renewal in Arkansas. Instead, you will need to get it reinstated first. Furthermore, this restriction applies whether you lost your driving privileges in AR or in any other state.
In the event that you cannot find your license or that the card has been damaged to the point of becoming illegible, you will not be able to renew your driver’s license until it is within one year of its expiration date. Instead, you will need to replace that card.
How early can you renew your drivers license in Arkansas?
You can renew your driving license in Arkansas as early as one year prior to the credential’s date of expiration. Because licenses expire every four years in AR, be mindful that you will not be able to renew these documents for three years from their issuance date.
Arkansas DMV License Renewal Options
If you are wondering where to renew your drivers license in Arkansas, be mindful that these procedures can take place in virtually any Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) office. If you find yourself out the state when your AR driving credential expires, you are encouraged to either call or send a letter to the DFA explaining your absence. It is important to note that the state does not offer an online option for renewing driver’s licenses.
How to Renew Your Drivers License in Person
If you are in Arkansas, you may visit a DFA office in person in order to renew your DMV license. Moreover, because application forms are not provided online, you will need to fill out all of the required documents in person.
When renewing your driving license in person, be mindful that DFA office hours will vary across the state. Thus, it is best that you check ahead of time which hours you are able to visit your office of choice. As a general rule, DFA offices are open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition, the official DFA online portal does not allow you to schedule an appointment in advance.
How to Renew Your Driving License by Mail
Out-of-state residents often ask, “Where can I renew my Arkansas drivers license if I am not in the state?” Despite the fact that the state DFA does not allow applicants to request a driver’s license renewal online, they may do so by requesting the proper form and sending it to the following address:
Driver’s License Issuance Room 2120 P.O. Box 1272 Little Rock, AR 72203
In order to obtain the drivers license renewal form, you may call (501) 682-7059. You will need to provide your address so that the application package can be delivered to you. Then, you can choose to mail the form to the address above, or you can call the number again to receive further instructions.
Military & Out of State Renewal in Arkansas
Arkansas residents who are not currently located in the state due to military service, college enrollment or another documentable reason are encouraged to file for a DMV license renewal by mail. However, be mindful that there are no extensions offered to licensed AR motorists who are out of state. Therefore, these applicants must learn how to renew a drivers license from out of state before their credentials expire.
Arkansas REAL ID Drivers License Renewal
When renewing a driver’s license in Arkansas, you may be required to obtain a REAL ID-compliant credential, which is designed to increase security and prevent fraudulent activities. For most U.S. citizens, the most practical impact of this change is that they will need a REAL ID driver’s license or ID card in order to board a domestic flight. You will need to prove the following factors in order to renew your AR drivers license and have it be REAL ID compliant:
- Your residency status
- Your identity
- Your Social Security Number (SSN)
In order to prove your residency status when requesting a DMV license renewal, you will need to provide two official documents displaying your full name and address. Generally, you may use utility bills, bank correspondence or credit card statements containing your mailing address. Moreover, in order to prove your identity, you can use either a birth certificate or passport. Furthermore, Social Security cards and W-2 forms are the most commonly used documents to verify your SSN.
If you cannot meet the REAL ID drivers license renewal requirements in Arkansas, you may be able to renew a regular driving credential. However, you will not be able to use this identification document to board domestic flights after September 2020. Thus, before this deadline, every motorist in AR will need to renew their DMV licenses and upgrade to a REAL ID. If you choose to get a REAL ID, you will find a star in the upper right corner of your credential. If you choose to renew your driving license without getting it REAL ID-approved, it will include a “Not for Federal Identification” message.
If you want a REAL ID but are not yet eligible for a DMV license renewal in Arkansas, you can get a replacement credential that is REAL ID-compliant.
Arkansas Drivers License Renewal Fees
How much is it to renew a drivers license in Arkansas? The answer will vary based on whether or not you already have a REAL ID. Consider the following costs:
- The driving license renewal fee in Arkansas for a REAL ID is $5.
- The fee to convert your state ID to a REAL ID is $5.
- If you want to replace your drivers license with a REAL ID credential but are not up for renewal yet, the fee is $10.

Design-build construction is the integration of multiple disciplines of design, engineering, and construction services. It is a team of expert contractors and architectural designers working under a single design and build contract to achieve the same goal – the success of the project. When project owners sit at the same table as those who will make their ambition a reality, great ideas and solutions are created and fully realized.
Read on to learn more about the design-build process and how DRF Builders utilizes it to deliver superior value to our clients.
1. Design-Build Team Selection Stage
The very first stage of design-build construction is the process of a project owner selecting their design-build team. Just like you would when hiring any general contractor to perform a service, owners must review and consider potential design-build contractors based on their experience and ability to understand the needs and budget of the project owner.
Cost is typically an important factor for most owners but should not be the only deciding factor to consider. A shrewd and resourceful owner will see the benefit of working with a qualified and longstanding construction company after reviewing their past projects and their overall experience and skill in the field.
Design-build construction offers value to everyone involved (contractor and owner) as construction firms must contend based on their ability and skill and project owners may anticipate high-quality results throughout the entire project.
2. Pre-Construction Planning Stage
Pre-construction planning typically begins as soon as your design-build team has been selected. During this stage, the design-build team will review and evaluate the constructability of the project as a whole. The design-builder will need to analyze the owner’s goals, budget, potential challenges, and the overall concept of the project. It is also the time for asking as many questions as needed to provide a complete impression of expectations for the finished project.
It is during the pre-construction stage that the members of the design-build team (contractors, architects, engineers, as well as other consultants) will work together to accurately lay out a project’s plan with its ultimate success in mind. A thorough review and assessment of existing structures, utility systems, needed documentation, as well as preliminary design plans, specifications, and schedules that must be determined before work can begin.
With a mindful analysis of a construction site, the design-build team can help facilitate maximum efficiency for the duration of the project.
3. Architectural Design & Functionality Stage
Once a project’s framework has been clearly established, (project timeline, site, budget) the architectural design stage will proceed. As many of these stages often overlap one another, an initial design approach may already have been started during pre-construction planning. Regardless, design-build team members will be working together to develop and advance the best possible project design to balance efficiency and budget for a successful project.
Essentially, the design-build team will estimate and determine where productivity and cost savings can be optimized while still achieving the needed functionality and desired style of the project itself. It is here the overall scope of the project is settled by presenting the owner with plan drawings, cost estimates, and a project schedule.
At this point, if all expectations for a project are set, construction may begin following an agreement. Since all needed members of your design-build team are already working together, no additional contractor or subcontractor bids need to be considered and the project may move forward much sooner than a project using a more traditional construction process.
4. Construction Stage
If initial construction has not begun during the design stage, it will begin immediately following. When utilizing a design-build team, there is likely to be only a single point of contact between the project owner and the construction team – streamlining communication and establishing clear accountability as every member is working together. When all parties are working towards the same goal, any unforeseen concerns or problems can be resolved quickly to allow deadlines to be met. The collaborative nature of design-build construction services provides value engineering by reducing unnecessary costs and keeps change orders to a minimum or even completely nonexistent.
When the right design-build team has been assembled, the entire construction process is much simpler for the project owner, takes less time than traditional methods, and prevents many potential pitfalls.
5. Post-Construction Stage
Once a project has been completed, the design-build team will provide an overview of the project in its entirety, including the project realization, applicable operations & maintenance, and documented procedures throughout the project timeline. Any concerns of the project owner may be addressed and finalization of completed work is established.
When a project is lead by a single construction firm, the post-construction stage is much more efficient and streamlined than when dealing with individual contractors, designers, and architects.
Santa Rosa’s Premier Design-Build Construction Company
The bottom line is design-build construction provides an abundance of advantages that more traditional methods cannot – faster project delivery, cost savings, high-quality results, reduced risk, and a singular point of accountability among many others to foster collaboration and teamwork.
For more than 10 years, DRF Builders have been meeting and exceeding the expectations of our clients. If you would like to learn more about the incredible benefits of a design-build team and connect with architectural experts regarding your next construction project, please call or contact us online today!

This one is packed full of fiber. It’s high in protein and low in fat.
2 16-ounce cans black beans 1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 can whole kernel corn 1/4 cup lemon or lime juice (optional)
1 small chopped roma tomato 1 small red bell pepper chopped
1/2 red onion chopped finely
Combine and mix thoroughly. You can eat it right away, but if you let it sit overnight it will be even better! This is good as a topping on baked pork chops or chicken, or you can mix in some boiled shrimp or sliced turkey and make a meal of it. It also goes great with scrambled eggs, or mix it with ranch dressing for a great southwest flavored topping. Be creative and have fun with this versatile add-on!
Blood sugar balancing tip:
Eating a protein along with fruit helps keep the blood sugars balanced. When blood sugars spike and then drop it signals the body that it’s hungry, so try to avoid those high sugar levels!

In an interview with Rolling Stone published on Thursday, the Black Sabbath frontman was asked what the secret is to a good marriage.
"Don't get caught with your mistress [laughs]," Osbourne replies.
"It's a rock & roll thing -- you rock and you roll. You take the good with the bad. When I was a crazy f**ker, I'm lucky she didn't walk out," he shares. "Now I'm coming on five years clean and sober, and I've realized what a f**king idiot I was. I mean, I'm still nuts, but in control of it a bit more. ... When I said, 'Don't get caught by your missus,' I'm not proud of all that sh*t. I upset my wife and I upset my family and I made a lot of shock and shame. I love my wife, and it made me realize what a f**king idiot I've been."
"I suppose it's fair to say we love each other. I love her, and she loves me," the Prince of Darkness expresses. "She was brought up in a music industry, so she's not like a schoolteacher who married a rock star. But, that's a very good question. There's no other woman I really want to spend the rest of my life with. You make a mistake and you learn by it. She's made a few mistakes, and so have I."
"You know when you hear these people go, 'Oh, we've been married 35 years and we've never had a row.' I go, 'You must have been living in a different f**king country. Sometimes, I've looked at my wife and I've just been angry as f**k, and vice versa. Other times, I go, 'F**k, I love you,'" he continues.
Overall, the "Crazy Train" singer says that forgiveness is a "good chunk" of moving on.
"It's not [about] what women can learn from me, I think it's what couples can learn from us," Sharon shared, while sitting down with The Talk co-stars Julie Chen, Sarah Gilbert and Sheryl Underwood. "My husband was brave enough to come out and say, 'Hey, you caught me. I need help. I'm an addict with this and this is what I'm gonna do.'"
Hear more of what she had to say, including why she decided to stay with Ozzy, in the video below.

Liquid ring vacuum pump performance characteristics
2BE1 series vacuum pumps are high efficiency and energy saving products developed by our company with advanced technology of imported products. This series of pump is single stage and single action structure, which has obvious advantages such as simple structure, convenient maintenance, reliable operation, high efficiency and energy saving. And can adapt to large displacement, load impact fluctuation and other harsh conditions. Compared with the widely used SK, 2SK and SZ series in China, they have significant advantages such as high vacuum degree, low power consumption and reliable operation, and are ideal substitutes for SK, 2SK and SZ series liquid ring vacuum pumps.
2BE series vacuum pump is a new type of pump, because of its good performance, has a very good application in many aspects of the nuclear field, the following article for you to explain the air cooling device of this equipment in detail, let’s have a look at it, it will be helpful for your own use. 2BE liquid ring vacuum pump produces heat due to the transportation and compression of gas, which must be transmitted from the rotor to the shell and emitted. However, at low pressure, the gas conduction and convection performance of heat is very poor, so the heat absorbed by the rotor is not easy to disperse, resulting in the temperature of the rotor is always higher than the temperature of the shell. Due to the thermal expansion of the rotor, the rotor and rotor, the gap between the rotor and the pump shell to reduce, especially in the case of high pressure difference, especially serious, even cause the rotor jammed, so that the pump damage. In order to make the pump work at a higher pressure difference, to expand the range of use, increase the reliability of the pump, it is necessary to try to release the heat generated by the rotor, that is to say, to cool the rotor.
The 2BE series vacuum pumps need to be cleaned after they have been used for a period of time. If we want to clean them thoroughly, then we have to disassemble them. This process, we can call them disassembling and washing. So how to ensure the safety and quality of this cleaning work? Next, we will explain to you what are the cleaning procedures? Disassemble and clean 2BE liquid ring vacuum pump in clean room. When disassembling and washing, attention should be paid to the tightness of the original assembly position, square and combination of each part, and records should be made at the same time to avoid wrong installation. When taking out the rotary vane and the rotor, we must pay attention to using the hand to closely the rotary vane, the reason is that the rotary vane by the spring force is large, carelessly easy to fly out of the hand, the impact of the rotary vane edges and corners or surface and can not continue to use. Parts removed should be separated and properly handled so as to avoid injury or loss to each other. When assembling, a small amount of oil shall be applied on the surface of the rotating part for lubrication.
There are many kinds of vacuum pump, such as 2BE, 2BV, SK, 2SK, SZ, SZB, etc., each has its own advantages and characteristics, many users in the purchase will often be in confusion, do not know what this on earth stands for, below we take 2BE vacuum pump as an example to simply introduce its meaning for you. Simply put, 2BE vacuum pump in 2BE is a model of vacuum pump expression, used to distinguish other products. 2BE vacuum pump adopts the structure form of single stage and single action, which has the advantages of simple structure, convenient maintenance, reliable operation, high efficiency and energy saving, and can adapt to the bad working conditions such as large displacement and load fluctuation. Impeller and pump shaft adopt thermal installation interference fit, reliable performance, smooth operation. After the impeller is welded, the heat treatment of the overall operation is good, and the blade has good toughness, so that the impact resistance and bending resistance of the blade can be fundamentally guaranteed. 2BE vacuum pump with air – water separator, multi – position no vent.
Vacuum pumps to Iran
Watch out for new rules on exporting to Iran! Or affect customs clearance!
The new regulation reminds: the importer of Iran (the information of the import company shown on the import license) needs to pay the payment to the supplier through the bank in its name, and provide the proof of payment to the Iranian customs before completing the import clearance procedures in the name of the importer. If you use a trade agent to import goods in Iran, you also need to make payment through the trading company’s account and provide proof to the customs.

As seniors get older, it can become more and more challenging to handle daily tasks and to manage living independently in a single-family home. A retirement community, assisted living center or nursing home are always options, of course, but many times seniors want to spend this season late in life in the places they love and doing the things they enjoy most. Home care is a service that helps seniors stay in an environment where they want to be. But what exactly is home care? There are many different types of home care that represent different levels of need. Here’s a look at 8 different types of home care that you can consider for the senior in your life.
1. Companionship Care
When a senior is living alone, one of the hardest things to deal with is loneliness. Perhaps a spouse has passed away, or maybe it’s more and more difficult to get out to see and visit with friends. That’s when companionship care from a home care worker can be incredibly helpful.
Companionship care can include informal conversation, playing a game or working a puzzle, walking around the block or even working alongside the senior doing light chores and laundry. Simply having someone to talk to and spend time with can go a long way toward reducing a senior’s loneliness.
2. Personal Care
Dressing and personal hygiene can become increasingly difficult for seniors. Personal care is designed to help with these activities, including bathing and showering, oral hygiene, makeup application and hair care, shaving and getting ready for bed.
Seniors want to live with dignity, but challenges with dressing and hygiene can start to rob them of that dignity. Personal care is a way to help them conduct these daily tasks and help seniors feel confident and comfortable.
3. Meals and Nutrition
Seniors also struggle to shop for groceries, prepare meals and generally maintain a nutritious diet. A home care worker can help with every aspect of meal preparation and general nutrition. They can help seniors shop for groceries, as well as plan and prepare meals. By shopping, planning and preparing in tandem, seniors also enjoy a measure of socialization, too.
It can be downright unsafe for some seniors to get behind the wheel of a car, especially at night. Unfortunately, as a senior’s ability to drive goes away, so too does a senior’s ability to get out and see friends and do things that he or she enjoys doing.
Home care workers can assist with transportation, driving seniors to events and activities that they want to participate in. Also, transportation assistance can help seniors stay connected with friends who may also have a hard time getting out of the house.
5. Household Duties and Chores
The hardest part about seniors staying in their homes is general upkeep and maintenance. Over time, a senior will have a more difficult time cleaning, doing laundry, changing light bulbs and HVAC filters, etc. In fact, many seniors who live in two-story homes even struggle to get up the stairs.
A home care worker can assist with household duties and chores, as well as spend time inspecting and providing any needed upkeep and maintenance in hard-to-reach places — like second stories.
6. Respite Care
Sometimes seniors have the primary caregiver they need, but that primary caregiver needs a break from time to time. That’s when respite care is so valuable. Respite care is when a home care worker allows a primary caregiver to take a break and recharge.
7. Hospice Care
Home care can also include hospice services. Hospice is when a senior is terminally ill and no longer taking medication or undergoing procedures to combat the illness. A care worker can provide support and compassion during this sensitive time, helping to make a senior as comfortable and fulfilled as possible during a challenging season.
8. 24-Hour Care
The most hands-on and intensive type of home care is 24-hour care. It’s not unusual for seniors to reach a point at which they need around-the-clock support. In situations like this, it’s important to have an experienced and reliable home care agency that can staff a senior’s home 24 hours a day and provide the needed care.
What Type of Home Care Do You Need?
At First in Care, we provide a wide range of home care series in Bradenton and surrounding communities. We provide each of the different types of home care listed above, and we are passionate about doing all we can to help seniors live their lives to the fullest.

No special code is needed – simply use this link: www.unibet.com/casino
Mark's Note: You get 10 free spins simply for registering, then up to 190 more once you make a (small) deposit.
Unlike at smaller casinos, the benefits keep going long after your welcome bonus has been cleared. You’ll find a ‘cash drop’ promo (which can be generous!), mobile slots offers and a blackjack promo which involves collecting special gold cards for bonuses.

Unibet Initial Deposit Bonus January 2022
Head to many online casinos and you might find yourself being offered a 100% deposit bonus, at Unibet this month you’ll find yourself being welcomed aboard with a solid 200% matched bonus. This bonus could earn you as much as £200 if you deposit the maximum £100. You can deposit in Euros, USD, CAD and many other currencies.
This deal has a 25x your bonus amount play through requirement, which is low compared with other major casinos. If you choose the live dealer casino, then you’ll need to bet 35x that bonus. You have 30 days to complete your wagering, and if you withdraw before it is completed the bonus does get forfeited.
Weightings for Different Casino Games
As is usual at online casinos, not all games give players the same contribution to clearing your bonus. For example, only 10% of your wager when playing at a table game or video poker will go towards clearing the bonus. Online slots players will have no such problems as the total stake will contribute towards bonus clearance, while bingo players have it best of all, as the bonus contribution will be double the stake. I recommend you check the Unibet website for the terms / weightings, especially if you prefer one of the more niche casino games.

The Q-learning hindrance avoidance algorithm based upon EKF-SLAM for NAO autonomous walking below not known surroundings
The 2 crucial difficulties of SLAM and Course preparing are usually addressed individually. However, both are essential to achieve successfully autonomous navigation. With this document, we attempt to incorporate the 2 attributes for software on the humanoid robot. The SLAM dilemma is fixed with all the EKF-SLAM algorithm while the path preparing problem is tackled by means of -studying. The offered algorithm is carried out on a NAO built with a laser beam head. So that you can differentiate distinct attractions at one viewing, we utilized clustering algorithm on laser indicator data. A Fractional Order PI control (FOPI) is additionally created to reduce the motion deviation built into in the course of NAO’s jogging conduct. The algorithm is tested in a inside setting to assess its overall performance. We suggest how the new design can be reliably utilized for autonomous wandering in a unknown environment.
Sturdy estimation of jogging robots velocity and tilt employing proprioceptive sensors details fusion
An approach of velocity and tilt estimation in cellular, perhaps legged robots depending on on-table devices.
Robustness to inertial sensor biases, and findings of poor quality or temporal unavailability.
A simple framework for modeling of legged robot kinematics with feet angle taken into consideration.
Option of the instantaneous acceleration of your legged robot is normally required for its effective manage. However, estimation of velocity only on the basis of robot kinematics has a significant drawback: the robot is not in touch with the ground all the time, or its feet may twist. In this particular paper we introduce a way for tilt and velocity estimation in a strolling robot. This method combines a kinematic kind of the supporting lower body and readouts from an inertial sensor. It can be used in any surfaces, no matter the robot’s entire body design and style or the handle technique employed, which is robust in regard to ft . perspective. It is also resistant to restricted foot glide and momentary lack of foot speak to.

Large-scale screening and characterization of enteroviruses and kobuviruses infecting pigs in Vietnam.
Van Dung N., Anh PH., Van Cuong N., Hoa NT., Carrique-Mas J., Hien VB., Sharp C., Rabaa M., Berto A., Campbell J., Baker S., Farrar J., Woolhouse ME., Bryant JE., Simmonds P.
A recent survey of pigs in Dong Thap province, Vietnam identified a high frequency of enterovirus species G (EV-G) infection (144/198; 72.7%). Amongst these was a plethora of EV-G types (EV-G1, EV-G6 and four new types EV-G8-EV-G11). To better characterize the genetic diversity of EV-G and investigate the possible existence of further circulating types, we performed a larger-scale study on 484 pig and 45 farm-bred boar faecal samples collected in 2012 and 2014, respectively. All samples from the previous and current studies were also screened for kobuviruses. The overall EV infection frequency remained extremely high (395/484; 81.6%), but with comparable detection rates and viral loads between healthy and diarrhoeic pigs; this contrasted with less frequent detection of EV-G in boars (4/45; 8.9%). EV was most frequently detected in pigs ≤ 14 weeks old (∼ 95%) and declined in older pigs. Infections with EV-G1 and EV-G6 were most frequent, whilst less commonly detected types included EV-G3, EV-G4 and EV-G8-EV-G11, and five new types (EV-G12-EV-G16). In contrast, kobuvirus infection frequency was significantly higher in diarrhoeic pigs (40.9 versus 27.6%; P = 0.01). Kobuviruses also showed contrasting epizootiologies and age associations; a higher prevalence was found in boars (42%) compared with domestic pigs (29%), with the highest infection frequency amongst pigs >52 weeks old. Although genetically diverse, all kobuviruses identified belonged to the species Aichivirus C. In summary, this study confirms infection with EV-G was endemic in Vietnamese domestic pigs and exhibits high genetic diversity and extensive inter-type recombination.

I believe in accountability in my previews and since the UND game fell under my expectations, I feel I should comment/analyze and also tie into this week’s big matchup with UNI (which is an overall stronger team than UND). I said if offense didn’t make it to 30 points and the defense didn’t keep UND from scoring 20, neither unit could consider it getting the job done.
Code Green should have had a shutout. They did their job. Ross Uglem shows on their “trick” TD pass conclusively that UND lined up in an illegal formation (5 men behind line of scrimmage). Refs have specific duties they check before the snap. The line judge checks to see if anyone is lining up offside (offense or defense). I think it’s the back judge who counts noses (11 on field versus 12 and 4 in backfield versus 5). Whosever job it was, they blew it plain and simple. If UND trailed 16-0 with 17 seconds left they would be going for a TD, not a FG. Hence, Code Green would have delivered another shut out.
Add in that Code Green held one of the preeminent FCS backs to under 100 yards and put pressure on Schuster all day. It was a good day defensively.
Bison fans have to tap the breaks on expectations that the Herd is going to beat everybody 42-10. Every year (including our three unbeaten years of 2013 when we had to score two 4th QTR TD’s to beat UNI 24-23, 2018 we needed to score in 4th QTR to beat Jack’s 21-17 and 2019 wasn’t exactly blowing IL State off the field in a 9-3 game in the playoffs).
As a player I remember getting back to the Sigma Chi frat house after getting like the 23rd win in what ultimately was a 35 game unbeaten string and having someone ask what was wrong. They thought we should win by 40 and we only beat USD 24-21 on the road. As a team we were celebrating a good, hard fought road win and some of our fans are upset it wasn’t larger. I went away in my mind being reminded first and foremost I am playing for the respect of my coaches and fellow players and what Izzy constantly reminded us of, “BISON PRIDE”!
Saturday the offense did half the job, but the most important one, they ran the ball effectively (226 yards and 5.3 YPC). A key play to start the 2nd half really kept us from getting two scores ahead. QPII picked up a double blitz from the outside and hit Kobe Johnson in stride 20 yards down the seam (most likely would have taken it to the house). But he didn’t. The play book never opened up after that.
I don’t think this slowness on using the passing game is ability or talent based. Quincy has the arm, the Rams block good and we have receivers who are good. I think the biggest issue right now is flow and experience. QPII didn’t get the benefit of a red shirt year under an NFL QB or a year and a half to assimilate our very complicated offensive system. We forget program wise Trey should be starting his Jr. Year running the offense. I believe these issues are fixable and they have to be if we are to get the MVFC and National Championship trophies. I also believe Roehl and Hedberg need to up their game as well in adjusting during a game and in setting up a balanced offense.
Where does that lead to in facing the UNI Panthers this week in the Dome?
Code Green faces a rejuvenated Panther offense. Even though they change offensive coordinators more frequently than a new born changes diapers (five since the last time they beat us in 2014), they seem to have found some consistency in their run game averaging 164 YPG after the last four years of 103, 110,133 & 119.
They have three transfers who are sharing the load. Dom Williams 5’10” 200 lbs, a Kansas transfer, has 46 carries for 332 yards (7.2 YPC), Bradrick Shaw 6’1” 225 lbs, from Cal, has 23 carries for 122 yards (5.3 YPC) and Vance McShane 5’6” 190, an NAIA transfer and brother of WR Deon McShane, has 16 carries for 116 yards (7.3 YPC). They haven’t shown a QB run game yet, but could have it up their sleeve with new QB Theo Day 6’2” 225 lbs, a Michigan State transfer, who has 9 carries for 56 yards (6.2 YPC).
They run behind an OL that averages 326.6 lbs (this will be by far the biggest OL Code Green faces this year). Even with this size they don’t seem to manhandle people and don’t seem overly athletic (pulling and being light on their feet). In the first four games, IA State quashed this unit allowing only 45 yards for the game. Getting lots of yards (219 & 5.2 YPC) on a mediocre Big Sky team, Sacramento State, and a newbie to the FCS, St. Thomas (193 & 6.2 YPC) doesn’t really give an accurate gauge on what to expect. Thrashing Youngstown State is in the same category as they are one of the worst defenses statistically in the FCS (108/123 & giving up 468.2 YPG, while allowing 170.5 YPG rushing and yielding 38.8 PPG).
The Panthers are a balanced attack with Isaiah Weston, a WR in Christian Watson’s league for taking the top off. He is 6’4” 200 lbs. They compliment him with Deion McShane and Quan Hampton, who are fast and sure handed. Even with all these weapons, UNI is only averaging 348.8 YPG in total offense (good for 67th in the FCS, right in the middle of 123 FCS teams).
The Panther’s strength, as usual, is in their defense. Old snarly Farley knows how to recruit and develop defensive players. His units are consistently in the top 20 in the defensive statistics that count, 2021 is no different with these numbers. Scoring D (10.5 PPG, 5th in FCS), Total D (286.2 YPG, 15th) and run D (80 YPG for 10th in Nation).
Now that IL State lost their massive nose guard and pro prospect, John Ridgeway, to the transfer portal, UNI has the best D Lineman in the MVFC with Jared Brinkman 6’2” 290 lbs. The rest of that unit is big and strong and is backed by a mobile and hard hitting LB corp. They probably have two of the bet DB’s in the country with Omar Brown and Benny Sapp III.
How does this translate for Saturday?
This is, to me, as big a test for the Herd as the Jacks. We have to bring our A game, because I think they are really sick of no wins since 2014. I expect them to be at A+ in their game. We can’t lose the TO battle nor can we take a play off in special teams.
What advantages do I see the Bison have? I think our OL is better than theirs, giving us a chance to move the ball on the ground as IA State did (4.1 YPC). This will allow for the play action pass game. I don’t see UNI stunting every play like UND. I think the pressure Quincy brings as a true dual threat QB with a codified QB run game is something they haven’t faced this year
Defensively, I think Code Green is in the same league with IA State, who shut the Panther’s run game down. But Ron, IA State was an FBS program. Let’s blow this myth up once and for all. NDSU plays just as well as any non top 10 FBS school. Just look at our stats versus FBS. In our five wins (2011-14 & 2016) we allowed only 83.4 YPG rushing (3 YPC) and in the last four wins that has shrunk to 62.3 YPG (2.5 YPC). KSU and Iowa were the defending Big 12 & Big 10 champions and made a bowl game the year we beat them. If we play our game we can stop UNI! Oh and also, we have averaged 214 YPG rushing in these wins, so yes I think we can mount a run game versus the Panthers. Since 2017 we have gotten 168, 344, 347 and 155 (spring game) with YPC’s of 4.1, 7.2, 6.8 and 3.8.
Vegas have the Herd a 6.5 point favorite. Unless TO’s rear their ugly head for either side I think this will be a close, hard fought game. It will be UNI’s last chance at our hide because the just released MVFC schedules don’t have us playing the Panthers the next two years. As for Saturday, I am going to give the Herd the home field advantage. They win again. Go Bison!!

Justin, it is MUCH too late to say sorry…
Ever since video surfaced of Justin Bieber not knowing the words to the song “Despacito," which he's featured on, fans quickly got angry — and haven't been able to let it go.
But instead of making amends and just learning the words to the Latin pop tune, originally performed by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi, Justin's made it clear that he still hasn't done his homework…like ABUNDANTLY clear.
While performing at the Summerburst Festival in Stockholm, fans cheered for the hit song, but he declined to sing it. Needless to say, attendees weren’t happy, and one Belieber got so heated, they threw a water bottle directly at the Grammy winner's face!
Watch the ordeal in the video below:
"I can't do 'Despacito,'" he told the crowd. "I don't even know it."
This isn’t the first time the 23-year-old has upset his loyal fans. Just last year, the “Baby” singer announced that he would no longer take pictures.
“If you happen to see me out somewhere know that I’m not gonna take a picture. I’m done taking pictures,” he wrote in a post on Instagram. "It has gotten to the point that people won't even say hi to me or recognize me as a human, I feel like a zoo animal and I wanna be able to keep my sanity. I realize people will be disappointed but I don't owe anybody a picture."
Alright, JBiebs, you don’t have to take a picture with us if you don't want to, but you should probably just learn the song at this point…

The human body is a fascinating thing. I have talked about the importance of listening to our hunger and satiety cues before, but how do we know we are full or hungry? Well, the gut-brain axis plays a big role. It is the communication system between cells in the GI tract and the brain. This connection can impact your mood believe it or not. The two have a relationship that is constantly being studied. Let’s discuss what we do know about the gut-brain axis and its impact on nutrition.
How Are They Connected?
There are a few different points of connection between the brain and gut.
Nervous System: Neurons are cells that make up the central nervous system, which connects the brain to various parts of the body, and the gut contains a lot of them. The vagus nerve is one of the larges nerves that connect the gut and brain, sending signals in both directions.
Neurotransmitters: These are hormones that are produced in the brain that control feelings and emotions. Serotonin is responsible for feeling happiness and controls circadian rhythm. Fun fact, many neurotransmitters are also produced in the gut via intestinal cells and microbes. A significant amount of serotonin is produced in the gut. Microbes in the gut produce gamma-aminobutyric acid which helps with feelings of fear and anxiety.
Short Chain Fatty Acids: Gut microbes make a lot of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, propionate, and acetate. SCFA are made when the bacteria digest fiber. SCFA in the brain play the role of reducing appetite.
