MAC Address Authorization
Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2
Media access control (MAC) address authorization functions in the same way as automatic number identification (ANI) authorization, but it is used for wireless clients and clients connecting to your network by using an 802.1X authenticating switch.
MAC address authorization is based on the MAC address of the network adapter installed in the access client computer. Like ANI authorization, MAC address authorization uses the Calling-Station-ID attribute instead of user name and password or certificate-based credentials to identify the user during the connection attempt.
MAC address authorization is performed when the user does not type in any user name or password, and refuses to use any valid authentication method. In this case, Network Policy Server (NPS) receives the Calling-Station-ID attribute, and no user name and password. To support MAC address authorization, Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) must have user accounts that contain MAC addresses as user names.
MAC address authorization is enabled when you do the following:
Enable MAC address authorization on access servers, such as wireless access points (APs).
Enable unauthenticated access on the appropriate NPS network policy for MAC address-based authentication, and enable Password Authentication Protocol (PAP).
In the Active Directory Users and Computers Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, create a user account for each MAC address for which you want to provide MAC address authorization. The name of the user account must match the MAC address of the network adapter installed in the computer from which the user is connecting. The format of the password assigned to the account is determined by the network access server vendor. Review the network access server documentation to determine the appropriate password.
Set the User Identity Attribute registry value to 31 on the NPS server. This registry value location is: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteAccess\Policy
To always use the MAC address as the user identity, on the NPS server set the Override User-Name registry value to 1. This registry value location is: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteAccess\Policy
Incorrectly editing the registry can severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on the computer.

We try to stay as optimistic as possible around these parts. Even if we're not exactly enthused by a particular film attachment -- be it in the casting department or behind the scenes -- we try to keep an open mind about it. Some news requires you to try just a little bit harder. This is one such story.
Shawn Levy has been hired by 20th Century Fox and James Cameron to direct a remake of the classic 1966 sci-fi film 'Fantastic Voyage.' Yes, the director of 'The Pink Panther' and both 'Night at the Museum' films will be shrinking down a team of scientists to go adventuring around inside a human body. And it will all be in 3D, of course.
Our dwindled optimism isn't because Levy is a bad choice for such a premise; it's because he's exactly the kind of choice you'd expect the studio to make. He's a broad-appeal, commerical director through-and-through, which leads us to worry that as far as big-budget "re-imaginings" go, 'Fantastic Voyage' is going to be more 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' than, say, 'Star Trek.'
Shane Salerno, whose last feature-film credit is 'Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem,' wrote the screenplay, though Deadline tells us that 'Avatar' producer and 'Shutter Island' screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis has been hired for a new draft. Cast and crew beyond those previously mentioned are unknown at this stage.

1) After my lament yesterday that AMD hadn’t yet returned, we now discover it will be starting back up on Monday. Awesome. Also, Squidi plans to make his place on the internet on a clean slate, with the past left behind – that’s a motive I can definitely get on board with!
2) Gaming Guardians has dropped a big old plot twist on us, and is now going on hiatus for a month! Agony!
The plot twist itself really turned me off at first. We have what appears to be Radical, our heroine, turning into Tartarus, a crazy, and extremely powerful, villain.
Some hunting in the forums revealed that it is likely that Tartarus is merely possessing Radical. This is good. That other plot twist? That Radical, having been driven insane by her inability to save the life of her friends from the villains, has now become that very force which drove her to the brink?
That is a plenty fantastic plot twist, and was quite awesome when it was used last time.
So, I’ve got my fingers crossed on there being some other explanation at work here. Only time will tell – lots of time, in fact, given the hiatus coming up.
3) Penny Arcade again features the dread spectre of continuity – and this time, the normal cast and crew seem likely to be bit players in the scene. That’s kinda nifty.
4) Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal has been cranking out two comics a day. Damn. The man’s a machine.
5) Finally, Gisèle Lagacé over at P&A steered us towards No Rest for the Wicked. Given that I’m still on the fairy tale kick from the last few months, I devoured it pretty rapidly, and recommend others do the same.

1. Don't spend range to return to your Airbase ifcontinue →
you've only used a few missles. It sucks to have to beat the little
2. Always use guns to shoot down
fighters, more money is good.
3. When engaging with guns, use the cockpit window
for the gun-sight.
4. When there's a missle coming, hit the afterburners
and dive, that should shake them.
5.Be careful in small spaces-the
manueverability is pathetic.
6. For those of you who have played AFD for DC,
be aware that this gameplay is more realistic.
The Final Assult
For those of you who have already
been blown up, sorry I didn't post this sooner.
Because i'm familar with the DC version, i had to set
up the controls differently, but that's me. I chose the
Warbler (F-25) because my BEE FATTY stalled in the mission and I
bought the farm. The Warbler has 88 msls, stealth
capabilities, and great manueverability/speed/defense/acceleration.
The Epic Battle
When you start out, two stealth
fighters streak by high ahead. Hit the afterburners and follow
the mission line to the first six targets. I'm warning
you-these things are powerful. They look like skyscrapers, but
they have three missle launchers on top. If you go straight on
with them,they will blow about 500-1000 HP off your plane. They are
arranged as follows:

Black Liberals Need To Stop The Double Standard
by Akindele Akinyemi (bio)
Radio host Don Imus's reputation and career quickly went downhill.
Imus recently made the bad decision to describe the Rutgers University women's basketball team as "rough girls" with "tattoos," adding, "That's some nappy-headed hos there." Imus's executive producer Bernard McGuirk described them as "hardcore hos" and compared the game to "the jigaboos vs. the wannabees" - apparently referring to the Spike Lee film "School Daze" that addresses intra-racial divisions at historically-black colleges. Imus sports announcer Sid Rosenberg added: "The more I look at Rutgers, they look exactly like the Toronto Raptors [professional men's basketball team]."
Here is the actual dialogue (from Wikipedia):
DON IMUS: So, I watched the basketball game last night between - a little bit of Rutgers and Tennessee, the women's final.
SID ROSENBERG: Yeah, Tennessee won last night - seventh championship for [Tennessee coach] Pat Summitt, I-Man. They beat Rutgers by 13 points.
IMUS: That's some rough girls from Rutgers. Man, they got tattoos and...
BERNARD McGUIRK: Some hardcore hos.
IMUS: That's some nappy-headed hos there. I'm gonna tell you that now, man, that's some - woo. And the girls from Tennessee, they all look cute, you know, so, like - kinda like - I don't know.
McGUIRK: A Spike Lee thing.
McGUIRK: The jigaboos vs. the wannabes - that movie that he had.
IMUS: Yeah, it was a tough...
CHARLES McCORD [co-host]: "Do the Right Thing."
McGUIRK: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
IMUS: I don't know if I'd have wanted to beat Rutgers or not, but they did, right?
ROSENBERG: It was a tough watch. The more I look at Rutgers, they look exactly like the Toronto Raptors.
I must say that what Imus and his buddies said on the air was out of line. I feel it's a shame, however, that black liberals are always protesting and demanding white people be fired for saying something stupid while we give blacks who consistently call our sisters bitches and hos on a regular basis a free pass. We degrade our race by trying to live like "Good Times" or live out our lives in poverty. We enjoy sagging our pants in public, even in church.
Imus was right about something. Those sisters on the Rutgers Basketball team were sporting tattoos. Why would you risk getting Hepatitis with those needles? How can you get a decent-paying job with 20 tattoos on your body? I mean both arms, legs, neck and - for sisters - a tat on your behind?
We have people in our community who call black women freaks, hizzoes, hos (yes, even nappy-head hos), tramps, pigeons, dykes, jiggas and skanks. We call each other the n-word (oh, I forgot we graduated - now we call each other "niggas"), fags and other dreadful names.
We never demand Wendy Williams be from fired from her radio show and VH1 for what she says, or other black personalities who call other races disrespectful names. I have heard black personalities and black liberals call whites "crackers" and "redneck hillbillies." But, if a white person calls someone black a "ho," we demand the person's removal?
What about black radio programs that actively promote sex, soft porn and violence? The images that are shown on black-oriented television can be compared to a minstrel show. We show brothers and sisters fornicating on TV (not making love), calling each other bitches and showing the most un-Christian images. Yet no one is protesting those shows.
Will you ever see the Reverend Al Sharpton demanding more positive images from black-oriented television and radio shows? Hell no, unless it has a liberal twist.
This is why I never pay attention to the establishment black liberal leadership. They love to play a double standard with people. Urban conservatives should not even fall for the traps of the liberal media and their black pawns.

Fetching Pakistanis Girls is a wikGrewal initiative, to collect all beautiful Pakistani faces on one page. Most of these photos were contributed to our Pinterest page. These Pakistani girls are less known but more beautiful than some Pakistani stars. They are just random beauties and we would love to trace them back to their name and details.
Viewers are strongly advised to comment with name /reference for these insanely pretty Muslim girls. Their style, their beauty, their adab (etiquette, for those uninitiated in Urdu) – there’s no denying that no one can surpass Pakistani women in these three aspects.
Nice looking girl.. So beautiful. This blog is awesome !

An organization that provides top wages and benefits loses a great employee to a competitor for no apparent reason. We can’t stop employees from leaving unless we have a plan to make them stay.
“Retention is the single most important thing for growth” – Alex Shultz (VP Growth, Facebook)
What is the biggest and most intractable restraint to growth faced by companies doing business today? For many organizations, it’s the lack of appropriate talent. The reason: As more organizations have expanded their operations, the need for talent has skyrocketed. But there isn’t enough skilled labor to fill the demand. As a result, one risks losing the talent to other organizations. And with so many companies drawing on a limited talent pool, the competition is fierce.

Today fellow Clean Reads author Sue Searles is sharing her Path to Publication Story. Without further ado, here’s Sue…
For me, writing is a deeply fulfilling creative outlet; it’s what I was born to do. Anybody who’s written a book knows what a challenging but rewarding journey it can be. Writing involves elements that a casual reader can’t begin to imagine (to name a few: building interesting characters, creating a believable plot with twists and turns, sub-plots that blend seamlessly, remembering the nitty gritties of publishing rules—point of view, show vs. tell, dashes and ellipses, the grueling editing stage…), but there’s little more fulfilling than reaching that last page, and the contentment of seeing the end result.
Let me go back a few years. From as early as I can remember, I’ve had a passion for writing. As a kid I was always tinkering with one story or another, and lengthy poems about the stories I’d written. I had notebooks filled with the stuff. Then high school happened, and writing was pushed to the back burner of my life. Tertiary studies and marriage followed, and then my son was born.
When I look back, it’s probably my son whom I can thank for giving me the courage to take that first step as a serious writer. As a six-year-old, his wonderful imagination led me to write my very first book about the delightful characters in his head…a children’s book which I called An Adventure With Little John and the Coaspies (the title’s long, I know). Writing that book gave me a taste of what it would feel like to actually take my writing seriously. I wrote its sequel, and then in about 2005, tried my hand at my first adult novel, a human trafficking story called Finding Freedom. Since the subject matter was still very hush-hush back then, it took a huge amount of research on my part and, all in all, took me three years to complete. It was a crude attempt, but the results are something I’m still proud of today. My sister loaded it onto Amazon for me, and within a short space of time it had received about two thousand downloads and unbelievable reviews. That gave me the confidence boost I needed—maybe I could do this after all—and so I plunged into another manuscript. This time it was a trilogy about three generations of women whose lives are turned upside down by the family patriarch.
But I had one problem. I was content to sit on my passion and keep it all to myself. Every time I finished writing a book, I left it to gather cyberdust on my computer and literally did nothing with it (except for Finding Freedom).
But, then came Lucia’s Web. I can’t pinpoint any particular event that sparked the plot concept…it literally just popped into my head one day—three girls share a house and there’s something sinister about one of them…. I played around with character sketches and plot outlines, and immediately knew I could make it work. The book started off in the third person, but something was nagging at me…it could be better. And then I realized what it was: This book was screaming to be written in the first person. I went back to the beginning and rewrote it as such, and the story exploded right off the page. To top if off, there were the stabs of humor I hadn’t even planned. Somehow it all worked wonderfully!
I finished writing Lucia’s Web early this year, and plucked up the courage to submit it to Clean Reads. Within a couple of weeks, it was accepted for publication, and I received my first contract!
Lucia’s Web is, by far, the book I’ve had the most fun writing. The characters are so real to me that I feel I know them personally. (I’m on a serious hunt for a “Sam bag” as I call it—an embroidered “hippie-type” bag that my character Sam carries around with her; my husband thinks I’ve lost my marbles, but I just gotta have one!) Seriously, my characters are that real to me.
While the writing of my other books required a great deal of effort, Lucia’s Web flowed onto the page like a fresh water stream. Even the title gelled with me after just one day (previously, titles took months to form). I’m beyond excited about this latest release and can’t wait to start getting reviews. I didn’t think it was possible to have so much fun writing a book. Hopefully that carries through to my readers.
In a nutshell, I feel strongly about writing stories that are different to the norm. If I’m going to enter into the exhilarating (but exhausting) challenge of writing a book, it must be memorable and life-changing to my readers. There’ll always be a touch of romance in the sub-plot (what girl doesn’t like a bit of romance?), but that is not the focus of my stories. I tend to think outside the conventional box or, as I like to put it, write “sweet stories that defy convention.”
While I loved working on the earlier books, I came alive as a writer when I started Lucia’s Web. Having a book accepted for publication, and the subsequent journey, has been one of the most exciting things I’ve ever experienced.
Creepy characters and shadowy scenes are woven through this suspense-filled story, steeped in strangeness with splashes of humor. When Ali Duncan advertises for two tenants to share an upmarket apartment with her, she has no way of knowing the series of cryptic events that is about to unravel. When one housemate turns out to be a quirky nonconformist, the other a Gothic misfit, she has to rely on her own defective judgment to find her way.
With circumstances stacked against her, whom can she trust when she finds herself alone in her quest for normality, but nothing in the house is as it seems?
Sue Searles has written several books, ranging from women’s fiction and short stories to poetry and children’s books. Having worked on various forms of storytelling since childhood, writing has been a lifelong passion.
Now somewhat older and wiser, she is passionate about thinking outside the conventional box, and conveys messages that are thought-provoking and life-changing.
Her inspiration comes mainly from studying people, reading, and daily life.
Sue is happily married and lives in sunny South Africa with her husband and son.

Ajay Kumar, 55, the famous cine star is being interviewed on a popular TV channel. He looks charming in his light brown suit . Big eyes , long face , stout body and a fascinating smile are his stamp marks.
He confesses about his first love .
“And you loved your teacher when you were just seven, gave her a rose too.” Ranjit Sharma put the question to him , smiling mischievously , and the audience burst into laughter.
The interview was on, on that famous channel. “My first love – one sided.” he replied. And added, “And I’m sure, your first love would also be to your teacher only.”
Ranjit Sharma now smiled broadly, positively. His eyes, through the specs saying, “Yes, of course.”
” And the name of the teacher ? ”
” I won’t speak that out . ” Ajay almost interrupted . ” No, never ! ” His eyes were speaking many things . A shyness covered his face and body too. He looked down while the audience sighed in frustration.
Ranjit Sharma, baffled , was grinning .
Somewhere in an upper middle class apartment , a 72 year old, retired bank manager, fond of Ajay’s style, smile, laugh, action dialogues, and everything, got up from her seat in front of the TV, and went into her bedroom. She opened an old trunk. Her late husband on top, she kissed the photo and digging under, brought out another, a group photo. She concentrated on one tiny face. Feeling elated , she kissed it. “Ajay, though I was a teacher then – my first job, you were also my first love- a motherly love, tender but everlasting! So don’t bother, don’t feel guilty, it was mutual.” She was speaking to herself hugging the photo to her bosom !

Retention has become an increasingly critical metric for driving profitability, especially the retention of highly engaged employees. Turnover has become a big problem for a lot of companies.
But, what if you’re looking at the problem wrong? What if it’s not about doing what you can to hold on to those employees, but perhaps it’s about focusing more on creating an environment where good employees thrive and stay?
Retaining employees is an important part of building a successful team. When managers and supervisors work to make their teams feel valued and motivated, employees are more likely to stay with a company that can contribute to the company’s overall growth and prosperity.
Why is it important to retain your employees?
● It can build a strong workforce
Steady employee retention allows managers and supervisors to invest in their team members and helps them develop into more productive employees. When employees stay with a company long-term, they often accept more responsibilities, seek professional development, and help the company grow.
● It increases productivity
Instead of spending time looking for and training new employees, managers and supervisors can focus on helping employees be more productive. A stable staff knows what needs to be done and how they can achieve it. They have a strong foundation for advancement based on institutional knowledge and developed skills.
● It improves employee morale
Employee retention strategies are designed to increase employee happiness and job satisfaction. When managers regularly implement these strategies, they help increase employee morale overall. Employees who feel happy at work are often more willing to work toward the company's mission and contribute to a positive work environment.
● It is more cost-effective
Hiring and training new employees are often more expensive than offering development opportunities to current employees. Consider offering current employees an educational stipend to advance their skills, on-site training, conference options or promotions, and/or extra benefits or perks.
How to retain your employees
If you want to keep more high-performing employees in-house, it’s important to start by creating an effective employee retention strategy.
In this article, we discuss the importance of employee retention and offer 8 effective employee retention strategies for leaders.
1. Create an engaging onboarding process
During the onboarding process, take the opportunity to make a positive first impression on a new employee. Create a process where new employees get comfortably acclimated to the workplace. Do this by creating straightforward training materials, offering support and guidance, and explaining how the company operates.
Introducing new employees to others in the office can help them feel like they are a part of the team right away. Taking them out for a team lunch is another way to make new hires feel welcome and help them get to know their coworkers quickly.
2. Pair with a mentor
A strategy to pair an employee with a mentor can start with the onboarding process. It’s a good way to help new employees feel welcomed and know they have someone to turn to. However, mentorship shouldn’t be offered to just new employees. Everyone can benefit from a horizontal mentor relationship whether by helping others or knowing that they are supported by more experienced teammates.
3. Schedule employee performance reviews
Employee performance reviews are a great way for employees to grow in their roles. Meet periodically to discuss their strengths, weaknesses, and career goals. By learning their goals, you can help them continue to advance in the company.
Offering positive feedback during this meeting can help employees feel valued and more satisfied at work. If the budget allows, use the performance review as a time to offer the employee a raise or a bonus.
4. Show your appreciation
When an employee is doing a good job or has recently earned a big achievement, recognize their hard work. You can show your appreciation by saying it directly to them or making a company-wide announcement. When employees feel their efforts are noticed, they are more likely to continue to work hard and stay with the company.
5. Encourage a work-life balance
A healthy work-life balance is when employees can effectively manage their work and home lives and feel like they have enough time and energy for both. This element has become increasingly important to many employees.
You can help employees achieve a more balanced work-life experience by giving staff more flexibility with their schedules. Consider allowing employees to come in late and make up their work if they need to leave for an appointment. If possible, give employees the option to work remotely. Employees who are feeling sick but can still work or those with a long commute may appreciate the opportunity to work from home occasionally.
Helping employees maintain a work-life balance shows that you value their well-being. They are more likely to stay with the company when they feel like they have a manager who cares about them.
6. Offer professional development opportunities
Helping employees meet their professional goals may influence them to stay with the company because they see it as a place with many opportunities. You can help them by spending time coaching and mentoring team members. Offer your team additional training or education opportunities, such as funding certifications, sending them to conferences, or providing education stipends. Update equipment so coworkers can learn and produce using the latest technology.
And when possible, promote from within. By investing in your team, they can develop their skills and take on more responsibilities, both of which can lead to improved employee retention.
7. Provide competitive compensation and benefits
In a competitive job market, it’s essential that you reward your employees with adequate compensation and benefits when you can. If you can’t afford salary adjustments, consider giving some type of bonus, adding a retirement plan, or improving health care benefits.
You might offer reimbursement for fitness classes or schedule talks on stress management or retirement planning services. All will help raise employees’ job satisfaction and encourage them to stay with your company.
8. Keep communication lines open
Maintaining an open-door policy lets employees know they can come to managers with ideas, questions, and concerns at any time. As a manager, it’s your job to ensure your team, whether on-site or remote, feels a connection to the company and each other. The feeling of belonging and being heard can go a long way toward retaining employees.

DETROIT (AP) — The Latest on Takata's guilty plea in an investigation of dangerous air bag inflators (all times local):
A federal judge in Detroit says he wrestled with whether to order a larger fine against Takata for its air bag cover-up but decided that it would put the company out of business and harm victims.
Judge George Caram Steeh accepted Takata's guilty plea Monday and restitution for automakers and victims injured or killed by defective air bag inflators. Takata will pay $850 million to automakers, $125 million to victims and $25 million to the U.S. government.
The judge says "destruction of the corporation would probably be a fair outcome." But he noted that it wouldn't help people who were hurt.
Takata's chief financial officer, Yoichiro Nomura, says the company's conduct over 15 years was "completely unacceptable."
The defective inflators can blow apart, spewing shrapnel into the car's cabin.
Japanese auto parts maker Takata Corp. has pleaded guilty to a criminal charge and agreed to pay $1 billion for a scheme to conceal a deadly defect in millions of its air bag inflators.
Takata admits to hiding problems that can cause inflators to explode with too much force, hurling shrapnel into drivers and passengers. U.S. prosecutors still are seeking extradition of three former Takata executives from Japan to face criminal charges.
Detroit federal Judge George Caram Steeh accepted a guilty plea to a fraud charge Monday.
Takata has agreed to pay $850 million in restitution to automakers, $125 million for victims and families and a $25 million criminal fine. Separately, the company faces dozens of consumer and state lawsuits that could run into millions of dollars.
Attorneys for people suing air bag maker Takata and five automakers say the car companies knew that the company's products were dangerous yet continued to use them for years because they were inexpensive.
The allegations against Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Ford and BMW were made in a document filed Monday with a federal court in Miami. The court is handling pretrial evidence-gathering in dozens of lawsuits against Takata and the automakers. The document says the allegations are partly based on auto company documents.
Earlier, the automakers had contended that Takata was the problem because it admitted to covering up the defective inflators, which can blow apart and hurl shrapnel into drivers and passengers.
Takata is expected to enter a guilty plea to one criminal charge at a hearing in Detroit Monday.

MELIHOVO, November, 1896.
If, O honoured “One of the Audience”, you are writing of the first performance, then allow — oh, allow me to doubt your sincerity. You hasten to pour healing balsam on the author’s wounds, supposing that, under the circumstances, that is more necessary and better than sincerity; you are kind, very kind, and it does credit to your heart. At the first performance I did not see all, but what I did see was dingy, grey, dismal and wooden. I did not distribute the parts and was not given new scenery. There were only two rehearsals, the actors did not know their parts — and the result was a general panic and utter depression; even Madame Kommissarzhevsky’s acting was not up to much, though at one of the rehearsals she acted marvellously, so that people sitting in the stalls wept with bowed heads.
In any case I am grateful and very, very much touched. All my plays are being printed, and as soon as they are ready I shall send you a copy. . . .

Male Pleasure Products Fleshlight Discount Codes 2020
Sorry, our company only need to make certain you are actually not a robotic. For finest outcomes, feel free to be sure your internet browser is taking biscuits (Male Pleasure Products Fleshlight Discount Codes 2020).
The Fleshlight is actually to males’s sexual activity toys what Coke is actually to “soda” many individuals make use of the label label “Fleshlight” to pertain to practically any type of sexual activity plaything created people, and also there is actually a reason for that. When the Fleshlight was actually offered, it delivered well thought-out style, high quality components, and also a much more self-confidence for customers to a market segment that was formerly dominated by low-priced, dismaying, substandard “novelty” items – Male Pleasure Products Fleshlight Discount Codes 2020.
So take notealthough the effectiveness of the Fleshlight has likely brought about a boosted recognition of sexual activity toy alternatives for individuals generally, “Fleshlight” is actually certainly not merely a generic term for any type of sex plaything for guys. It is actually a quality label name that brings its own distinct background, credibility, and loyal following.
Nevertheless, “make an effort before you buy” simply isn’t truly a practical alternative for this kind of product (Male Pleasure Products Fleshlight Discount Codes 2020). Nevertheless, popularity can easily likewise occasionally stir apprehension that there is actually additional buzz than drug, particularly in the situation of a product that isn’t commonly discussed casually one of buddies. Acquiring a friend’s viewpoint on upgrading to the current apple iphone is actually the main thing, but inquiring a pal if he has a Fleshlight and just likes itwell, that could be a little bit unpleasant.
Given that you can’t simply operate over to Aim at as well as take an appeal at one (not yet, in any case), and considering that your pals probably do not desire to consult with you concerning their Fleshlights, not to mention accept to having one, what complies with desires be actually the absolute most detailed and detailed Fleshlight assessment known to the world wide web.
Male Pleasure Products Fleshlight Discount Codes 2020
We’ll tell you what your friends won’t. Discuss incorporating some selection to your sex lifethe possibilities are virtually mind-boggling. Our team decided on 2 Fleshlights. A Mini Lotus in the black instance, as well as a Wonder Wave in the silver instance. Upgraded 11/3/19 Free 4oz. lube, Fleshwash, or Restoring Powder w/purchase of Super Fleshlight.Browse Turbos Review Our Assessment Not a bargain, but limited edition item: each week prior to Black Friday while supplies final. The choice is restricted to 6, but it is actually an affordable way to set your own self up with some assortment. Of the choices, two are evaluated within this articleWonder Surge as well as Mini Lotus. Both are great. But 2 othersOriginal and also Extremely Tightshould be stayed clear of. Neither possess structure as well as the texture is what helps make these things experience great. You must also keep an eye on their social media networks Facebook, Twitter, as well as Instagram( merely examine in sometimes if you obviously do not desire to observe or even sign up) as well as include both pages listed below in your research study: If you ‘have not really checked out the web site yet, the 1st trait to learn about the Fleshlight is that picking one could be a problem. Fleshlights all contain an inflexible, practical case (what you put in your palm) that holds an interchangeable, silklike delicate, supple sleeve (what you place your own self into). All the sleeves possess various appearances and designs on the inside and this is where the magic occurs. This is what you really feelthe reason for the enjoyable experiences as well as the initial of numerous attributes that make the Fleshlight much more exciting than your personal palm. And afterwards there are some that are actually so complex appearing and also creative that you can rarely also envision what they will seem like. So picking a texture is probably some of one of the most crucial selections to create. As you discover, your human brain starts to go bonkers( in a nice way )attempting to picture what variety of brand new sensations each one could generate. I could not. I bought two full-size initial Fleshlights using the Shape Your Own component. The 1st one I chose is phoned the Marvel Wave. An ad on the website mentioned it was among their very most preferred layouts and it resembled it would experience fairly interestingfinally, one thing ribbed for my enjoyment. It is actually called their very most reasonable feeling Fleshlight. Due to the fact that every person likes to know if a Fleshlight seems like” the actual thing “, I possessed to attempt it (for your purpose, dear readers). I selected the really good ol’ vagina. It is actually tough to strengthen on nature’s style. The vagina access style is a little amped-up symmetrical and also coloralmost cartoon-ish. On the site, they get in touch with the access of the Fleshlight sleeves “orifices”. I need to admit that one of the things that made me a little skeptical to order a Fleshlight was that the very first time I ever before saw an image of one, my very first notion was,” oh crap, why exists a vaginal area stuffed in a flashlight? “It’s a bit surprising the 1st time you view one and also making use of the phrase “orifice” does not aid relieve the oddness of seeing the likeness of a physical body component unattached to a body. So, I’m heading to make use of the phrase” access “. That is actually certainly not extremely attractive either, but it’s a little bit of much less clinical. It perhaps do without claiming that I eventually had not a problem heating up to the entire.
vagina-in-a-flashlight look. The purpose being actually that it’s really quite tough to excel attribute’s concept when it involves our physical bodies, and the vagina is nature’s really personal optimized penis-welcoming style. If you have actually ever would like to have rectal sexual activity with a fairy, here’s your Fleshlight. A few of the various other Fleshlight versions including the crystal clear,, and, deliver extra entry options that are actually very discreet and also characterless. They simply resemble luring, feel-good locations to insert your penis instead than emulations of individual body parts. However, if you wish one thing a lot more sensible, they possess the, which are actually modeled from the bodies of true net grown-up amusement personalitiesmeaning, the Ladies series resemble” the genuine factor” in detail. And also if you are a person in to individuals, take center, they have actually obtained an entire various other site and series of items for you. The layout, featuring the color, is rather overstated and cartoon-ish, but I kind of like that in contrast to one thing that is actually making an effort as well hard to be reasonable.( I don’t intend to take a sex plaything very seriously.) It’s merely true sufficient to encourage your imagination, yet certainly not therefore true that you begin pondering where the remainder of her went. Performed you understand a sex plaything could have an item” ecological community”? This set carries out. We picked the care and also cleansing productsantibacterial facial cleanser as well as” revitalizing grain”, plus some Fleshlight company lube, which ended up fantastic all-purpose lube.
Among the other points that prepares the authentic Fleshlight besides similar items is actually the simple fact that the Fleshlight is assisted by a whole entire environment of devices. To begin with, there is actually the pricey however really immersive as well as amazing Fleshlight Launch that will certainly offer the activity for you and also sync to grown-up material, even VR check out the Fleshlight Launch Assessment. They have furniture-like items gotten in touch with” positions” that may carry the Fleshlight in an assortment just-so positions best for humping. There is a shower position with a suction-cup base for arguing the wall of your showerfor shower humping.

Official reports suggest 134 people have died from Covid-19 in Syria, but it is widely believed that the number is much higher. Open Doors partners in Syria are responding to the crisis, with your help.
“No one in the streets is wearing a mask,” says a young Christian in Syria. “Whenever I leave my house, I see gatherings of people. No one wears a mask. People make fun of me when they see me wearing one.”
A family in Syria gather for worship
If some people aren’t taking the Covid-19 crisis seriously in Syria, it might be because of the statistics they’re hearing. They sound bad enough: there have been 3171 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in 2020 and 134 people have died. But some believe these are only the tip of the iceberg of the reality in Syria.
“The numbers of infected people and fatalities in Syria are higher,” says Elias*, an Open Doors partner who helps coordinate Open Doors’ work in the country. “The hospitals are full of patients. Recently, the Deputy Director of Health for Damascus said that, in Damascus alone, there are over 110,000 people infected.” This is confirmed by the Middle East Institute, which reported in early August that ‘a worrying rise in daily deaths and infections, especially in Damascus, has left Syria facing what could be its biggest challenge yet’.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) stated on 2 September: “Syrian authorities are failing to protect health workers at the front line of the Covid-19 pandemic in government-held territory. Doctors, aid workers, and civilians, including in government-held Syria, told HRW that the country is overwhelmed, with hospitals beyond capacity, health workers facing serious shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE), and with many of their colleagues and relatives dying after suffering Covid-19 symptoms.”
A worker at a government hospital has also said, anonymously, that there is a dangerous shortage of medical supplies, testing and personal protective equipment, as well as overcrowding in hospitals in cities including Damascus, Aleppo and Homs. Years of conflict mean that Syria simply doesn’t have strong enough economy or infrastructure to implement the necessary levels of testing or provide sufficient care for those infected.
Among the deaths that have been confirmed are three Christian ministers, from different denominations. The fact that three ministers have died – a minority within the minority Christian faith – is further evidence that the crisis in Syria may be much worse than officially suggested.
Reine, a Sunday school teacher, says, “We’ve stopped our Sunday school meeting to protect the children from gatherings. But now they go with their friends to hang out, without paying any attention to the corona situation.”
Elias tells how Open Doors partners in various parts of Syria are distributing hygiene kits to prevent the spread of the virus: “They consist of protective masks, sanitiser, vitamin pills and paracetamol.”
And Open Doors partners continue to respond to the needs of those affected by the economic impact of the pandemic. While some aren’t taking the virus seriously, others have seen their jobs and livelihoods disappear because of measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Without any sort of furlough scheme, many Syrians are desperate – even before the virus, years of conflict had left them economically vulnerable.
“Nowadays there are so many people in need." Mourad, Open Doors partner
“Nowadays there are so many people in need, due to the dire economic situation that brought many under the line of poverty,” says Mourad, who oversees the work of Open Doors through churches and local partners in Syria.
“During the war, the church leaders did not want to leave their churches even if there was one person left,” adds Mourad. “Church leaders are trying to encourage their congregations.” It’s that kind of loyalty, and commitment to showing the light and hope of Christ, that has kept Open Doors partners serving their communities throughout almost a decade of war and economic need. Now they need your help to keep supporting vulnerable believers, and others in the community, as the pandemic continues to worsen in Syria.
*Name changed for security reasons
Your support helps persecuted Christians continue to courageously follow Jesus.
Together, we can reach those where persecution hits hardest.

"I should have been scragged, and no mistake," said the boy, with a shiver.
Tell me what happened in the woods after I got scragged and Mike carted me up here?
Why, it means that he is to be scragged to-day or to-morrow.
Just in case you get scragged in one of these brawls and I don't?
That old man would have been glad to see you scragged, Mr. Ainsleigh.
I promised your poor Auguste that you should be happy; he wanted to make you a rich woman, and he got scragged for your sake.
Besides, could he not plead that he had repaid the pals who had been scragged?
And there is Theodore, who was just going to have his hair cropped to be scragged at four this afternoon!
I can't help likening thee to that poor gipsy wench, Sybil; but may I be scragged if I'd use thee as her lover has used her.
"Because you will be scragged within three days," replied the police agent.

Norwegian skragg "a lean person;" dialectal Swedish skraka "a great, dry tree; a long, lean man," skragge "old and torn thing," Danish skrog "hull of a ship, carcass," Icelandic skröggr, a nickname of the fox); perhaps from root of shrink.

Are you in the great #Battle of the #Bulge #crisis? Is #BellyFat giving you #sleepless #nights?
Why Do People Get Belly Fat?
Fat seems to always head straight for the waistline, doesn’t it? Belly fat is not just a natural part of the aging process. Other factors make you more likely to get belly fat as well.
What is Belly Fat really?
More women than men gain belly fat. How much fat you gain, and where, is influenced not only by age, but also by family history, hormones and birth weight. Belly fat is also more common in women who’ve given birth or undergoing menopause. You see, belly fat is not just about the soft, cushy subcutaneous fat that you can see and touch. It has yet another layer called visceral fat that forms deep inside your abdomen, around your organs. Subcutaneous fat is like a storage area for all of the calories you aren’t using, but visceral fat cells are biologically active, increasing your insulin resistance and putting you more at risk for certain health problems.
What Health Risks?
Belly fat is more than just an aesthetic problem. Medical experts know that it can shorten your life. It is linked to several chronic conditions, including heart disease, Type-2 diabetes, dementia and breast and colorectal cancers.
Trimming It Down
Sonakshi Sinha did it…You could be next!!! Visceral fat is easily trimmed if you exercise. However, targeting belly fat with sit-ups and other abdominal exercises won’t do the trick. These exercises simply tone your abdominal muscles. Bur exercising every day burns belly fat when coupled with a reduced-calorie diet comprised of healthy foods in appropriate portion sizes.
Well, here are 8 #Superfoods that cut belly fat!!!
Green tea: Shrinks your waistline. The #Flavonoids have natural #AntiInflammatory properties, and the compound #EGCG helps reduce body fat.
Foods rich in Omega-3: Food sources of #omega-3s include #walnuts and #flaxseed.
Garlic: #Garlic controls #bloodsugar and #insulin levels. Thus your body can maximize fat burning for energy, resulting in reduced belly fat. It is also a #thermogenic that boosts #metabolism.
Mint: One tablespoon #honey, a pinch of #pepper, and some crushed #mint leaves steeped in hot water soothes the abdomen, dissolves fat and boosts metabolism. The result – a flat #tummy!!!
Cinnamon: #Cinnamon is a great fat burner. Drink the steeped cinnamon powder with honey in water before breakfast and before bed-time for best results.
Watermelon: #Watermelon contains 82 per cent water, which helps your stomach not crave for food. Watermelon is also rich in vitamin C.
Apple: Eating #apple also helps reduce belly fat. It helps your stomach feel full because it contains potassium and many vitamins. So, eat an apple in breakfast to get the desired tummy size.
Banana: #Bananas are also rich in potassium and multivitamins, and help you to resist the food cravings. Plus, banana boosts the metabolic rate, thus melting belly fat.
You can supplement these with what #Mother Nature has given in plenty, as in these products from #NaturalMantra!
Enter the fray with gusto! It’s courage, hard work and discipline that will help you win the battle with #BellyFat!

A police officer is someone who maintains and upholds the law. They are responsible for the security of the residents and endeavour to achieve amity by risking their lives. It is hard being a law enforcement officer as it brings about a lot of difficulties. But all of it is worthwhile since you are doing everything for the greater good. Now then, let us look at how one can become a cop.

- Police Officer Job Description
How Much Does A Police Officer Make in Chicago Illinois?
Law enforcement officers are the definition of hard working. They risk their lives while performing their duties. However, their pay isn’t that great when compared to others like Physicians or Veterinarians. They do get a lot of benefits being a cop, though. How much a cop earns, depends on a lot of factors like where he works, how much he or she works and what unit he or she is assigned to. Now we will use this chance to reveal to you the typical salary of dissimilar law enforcement officials and show how they can earn more.[asd_program_button /]
One of the most important factors that determine the salary of a cop is the city he or she is working in. A portion of the less prosperous cities and counties can’t come up with the money to pay their law enforcement officers decent wages. They are paid meagre salaries and must procure their own equipment. In bigger cities, the police officers are paid better salaries and get a stipend for hardware and uniform.
The largest paid income was documented in New Jersey at around $81,000. South Mississippi, by the contrary, registered the smallest income ever with a mean of $31,000. This again changes with the region one is working in. If an individual is stationed in an urban centre they are expected to earn more. On the other hand, an individual deployed to a small town might earn little, despite the fact that he or she is stationed in New Jersey.
Similar to any other job, the more experienced you are, the more you earn. As a cop, your income is expected to grow about 30-40% in the event that you have 20 more years of experience over other applicants. The mean median in the U.S., which takes into account the salaries of cops of all ages, is around $49,000.
As a law enforcement officer, you can advance to a range of different ranks, which will probably remunerate more. A small number of these positions include the title of Security Officer, Police Detective, Police Chief, and the list goes on. Every one of these titles carries with them a substantial salary increase. The typical ladder is as follows: Patrol Office < Detective <Supervisor < Chief < Lieutenant < Commissioner. The commissioner obviously stands to get a salary of around $71,000 or even $80,000 with experience as an average salary.
Chicago Police Unit
As stated previously, another determinant that influences the salary you receive is the unit you are assigned to. As an illustration, in the event that you are assigned to the narcotics unit, your pay might possibly be higher than that of a typical patrol officer. Or if you are in homicide, you might earn a hefty amount too. A forensics science technician can bring in roughly about $55,000 (at the same time, a Sheriff’s patrol might bring in about $57,000 in similar circumstances). Side by side probation officers receive no more than a tiny bit less than forensic technicians.
An additional determinant that influences a cop’s salary is the number of hours he/she works. If they work late nights on a case or they have to do some court duty they are paid extra. They likewise gain more income if they work extra time or on weekends.
Many folk won’t fret about the pay that a law enforcement officer mainly because of the incentives that they get. One of the biggest benefits is that of pension. Formally, a few are required to work as a police officer for at least 15 years prior to being given a pension. Therefore, a person may begin early and then stop working by the age of 40 to obtain a pension and be employed elsewhere.
You also get good healthcare insurance to help yourself in case you get injured or suffer from some illness, which in case of cops is quite common.
Another informal bonus you receive is lots of free food and drinks when you’re on the clock. Though this creates questions of morality and it is totally up to your worth ethic to decide whether or not you will receive such benefits. The same thing can be said about any associations you have made with individuals during your service.
You also, of course, do get to meet some famous people while trying to protect them or providing them with security.
The work of a cop is difficult and the salary isn’t great. But, in the event that you have a powerful sentiment of justice and the compulsion to protect individuals, then this occupation might be the right fit for you. Furthermore, it is a highly reputable profession, one that allows you to have a protected retirement and supplies you with healthcare incentives. What else could you possibly want subsequent to rescuing the day and being declared a savior in the eyes of a few?
Career and Employment Outlook For Cops In Chicago
Choosing a career is a very important decision. One of the key elements to contemplate while doing so is the prospect of that career. The occupational outlook of every job is normally dispensed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The components that are taken into account while foreseeing this comprise of the necessity of that job in the future and the spending patterns of employers. Let us look at the career prospects for a police officer.[asd_program_button /]
Beginning in 2014, there were approximately 806, 000 jobs taken by cops. This is projected to increase by around 4% in the coming decade. This rate of expansion is more lethargic than the median of other professions. This translates to 33,000 novel openings being produced for cops in the next ten years. Since police officers are generally employed by the government, their employment largely depends on the political situation in the region. A few cities might desire to allocate more of their budget to cops but others might funnel more of their finances into other types of development.
How To Become A Chicago Police Officer
The education qualifications of a cop aren’t a lot as stated previously. In most instances, they only need a high school diploma. Though, occasionally, a minimum of two years tertiary level course completion is mandated. This implies a GED or an associate’s degree is all you need. In the event that you’re looking to enter another division like cyber-crime or forensics, you may need to have a more advanced education. Getting posted at the federal level does require you to have a bachelor’s degree. You will have a written test before entering the police academy. This will primarily be based on ethics, the knowledge that you gained in high school and some general knowledge.[asd_program_search_bar /]
The lowest age demanded is around 18-21 years, and this is determined by the department you are applying to. Since the job of a cop is physically challenging, you must guarantee that you have sufficient stamina, endurance, and strength. To guarantee this, the selection procedure incorporates a Physical Ability Tests or (PAT). Here you are made to do a variety of physical tests including mile long runs, sprints, obstacle course and much more. It might similarly contain sit-ups, weight lifting, and additional exercises to gauge fitness levels.
In the event that you have a criminal record, then it is reason enough for the instant disentitlement of your submission. Consequently, an unsullied record is an unquestionable requirement for applying for entry into a police academy. If an unusual situation exists and these offenses were minor in nature, then the department may not consider the offenses when deciding whether or not to hire you. You can also expect a very thorough and comprehensive background check. They check your records, as well as go to your past and existing employers, and relatives. They will find out if any form of your behaviour is undesirable in the police academy. The use of narcotics and other controlled substances is forbidden. It’s required that the last ten years of your life be free of DUI tickets. Amid the selection procedure, a medical exam is carried out, which consists of numerous urine and blood tests. These tests are carried out for this very aim — to uncover the intake of controlled substances.
Every cop needs to be mentally strong. They come across a lot of gruesome images every day, especially homicide detectives. They need to have sufficient mental determination to remain tough and to continue making advancements in their occupation. They should have the capacity to make decisions under extreme constraints, and they ought to be the spot-on. Every time they make a decision; someone’s life may hang in the balance.
To ensure that the aspiring officers have what it takes to endure all of this, the selection process has a mental examination called the oral board. Here the senior officers pressurize you and make you take decisions at such times. There is also a psychology test to ensure that you have the right personality type to be a police officer.
As you can see, the occupation of being a cop is pretty demanding, and so are its prerequisites. One requirement that wasn’t mentioned above is discipline and respect towards authority. They want you to comply with the commands that your superiors makes, whenever they make one. So with the demanding nature of the profession and training now known to you, just one question is left: Do you have what it takes?
What Does A Chicago Police Officer Do?
People are quick to mouth off the cops. But little do they know how much work a cop must do. Cops receive arduous training in order to hold the position they do. The duties of a police officer largely depend on the location they are situated at. Their specialization likewise determines it. Nevertheless, lower frequencies of lawbreaking in areas outside urban centres means that there are few opportunities for someone to specialize in one field. Let us read about some of the obligations of a law enforcement officer.[asd_program_button /]
The chief obligation of a law enforcement officer is to uphold law and order. They guard the territory they are posted to, looking for individuals who are violating the law. It is their obligation to make these persons realize that their actions are against the law or arrest them. If necessary they can likewise request reinforcements and apprehend the suspect who is creating the disturbance. Thus, as a reciprocal, a police officer is also required to attend calls by other policemen during patrol even if the officer in question is not in his designated area. They present the detainee in the court of law and let them handle the punishment of the criminal.
Numerous open and exclusive occasions are undermined day by day by a few militants or other offenders. Law enforcement officers are then supposed to offer protection and search for offenders at these proceedings. One some occasions, they must secure a VIP or a number of people. In different circumstances, they must offer protection for courthouses or different areas that are of intrigue to the community. Once in a while, they are obliged to accompany an offender to and from court.
Investigate Chicago Crime
Many police officers are required to investigate the crimes they come across. For example, if they come across a murder, they are supposed to find out who did it and how it happened. Or if they come across any drugs they are supposed to investigate its source. They are obligated to collect whatever evidence that they think is relevant and submit it to their superiors or to the forensics department for additional inquiry. Sometimes, to get proof, they can lie or deceive a suspect to get a confession out of them. A confession is the best proof any officer can have.
Protect Chicago Citizens
One of the most important responsibilities of a police officer is assisting residents. They should protect them from any misfortune. To do so, they are permitted to wound or shoot a potential attacker who may injure the police or the populace. As a consequence, they are permitted to carry firearms. They have the option of calling for reinforcements if the situation deteriorates. Sometimes they might also have to deal with explosives and if possible, disarm it themselves.
A number of officers are supposed to regulate the movement of traffic if traffic lights stop functioning. They must make certain that the cars move freely and do not bump into each other or create any other disruptions. They are also expected log any instances of traffic laws being broken and brief the court on the identity of the driver. Sometimes they are also supposed to look after parking violations.
There are generally various units inside a particular police station. These act independently of each other. These could be a special operations division, SWAT, the forensics department, narcotics, serial murder investigation, or anything comparable. Hence, the tasks a law enforcement officer must perform rely heavily upon the unit he is placed with. Said units like SWAT, the forensics department, serial murder investigation, or anything alike could serve one function.
One of the most fundamental responsibilities of a cop is to read a person of interest their rights while apprehending or constraining them. They are supposed to request an attorney for prisoner, despite the fact that he or she can’t afford one. They are likewise supposed to operate inside the boundaries of the law and make certain that they themselves aren’t disregarding it. Each and every captive must be notified of why they are being apprehended. On the off chance a person isn’t being arrested, then they have the privilege to leave, and a law enforcement official is required to give that individual a chance to practice that privilege.
The work of a cop is not always risky (or exhilarating) as one might think. The records division processes all the case documents and keeps them up secure and up to date alongside the proof. To assist the records division, every law enforcement officer is supposed to do paperwork subsequent to every arrest or transfer. They are required to fill out an in-depth account of each case signing in all the proof that they have accumulated. They likewise are obligated to compose warrants and get a judge’s signature on them in advance of taking active action.
The working hours of a law enforcement officer will depend upon the case they are investigating. . On the off chance that they are not assigned to a case, they can choose to return home at the end of the official work day. In other cases, they are supposed to follow leads till their curiosity is satisfied for the day. Sometimes they are stuck doing paperwork all night or in a stakeout waiting for a suspect to ‘make a move’. As a law enforcement officer, they must be sure that their conclusions aren’t grounded in perceived biases like ethnicity or sex. They must remain unbiased. They must likewise show consideration for the religious views of a suspect, even when that suspect is being apprehended.
The tasks and responsibilities of a cop go on and on. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Now that you have knowledge of all of this, I am sure you hold law enforcement officers in more esteem now. So, on the off chance that your goal is becoming a police officer, you will be aware of what you have to do.

3600 words General Fiction
A young man and his roomate, living in San Diego, decide it’s time they ventured to good ole Mexico. Well, the adventure goes south, and what is revealed is the narrator’s own psychic journey.
Going to Mexico was a bad idea, and deep down both of us knew it. But the great thing about my roommate was that every time I came up with a bad idea, I could count on him to be on board. My brain was always concocting thrilling plans in which the only person I could include was Hilly. No one else would be crazy enough to walk that tightrope with me. They’d be too jaded to see the adventure of it, or too nervous to take the risk. No, when these ideas came to me in the night, it was dear old Hilly whose face I saw.

Southern Revival Cooking with Low Country notes, Minton’s celebrates the traditional cuisine of the Low Country, a prosperous historic region located in the southern and eastern coastal plains of South Carolina, Georgia and the string of islands within its coastal waterways. Heritage cities like Charleston, Beaufort and Savannah share a rich history of agriculture, industry, and international commerce that created a wealthy and sophisticated society who enjoyed the bounty of its abundant plantation farmlands, cattle, rice fields, plentiful game and an unending supply of fresh fish and seafood. Charleston, being one of the largest seaports in the new world, benefited from the foods and spices arriving from European Africa and Asia, helping to create the unique culinary flavors of the region.
Minton’s is the embodiment of these flavors and traditional history, recreated and presented in a uniquely modern and contemporary fashion. With the collaboration of Executive Chef and Restaurateur Alexander Smalls and Chef de Cuisine Banks White, two Southern chefs create an edible conversation around the qualities and principles of traditional heritage foods and flavors of the Low Country. Southern Revival Cooking with Low Country notes is that conversation, shared generously with attention to detail, full flavor, pride and love.

Public Safety (412) 233-8113 x3020 (John Lattanzi)
The City of Clairton has 19 police officers, consisting of one police chief, eight full time officers, and ten part time officers.
The Department has three special programs, the T.I.P. (Turn in Pushers), Crime Watch, and the
Missing Person Alert. The T.I.P. program allows local residents to report possible drug activity
anonymously. Crime Watch consists of a group of citizens that meet once a month with
representatives from each neighborhood. The Missing Person Alert is an alert system that the police have developed to inform each of the neighborhoods within Clairton of missing persons in the City, so that residents can be on the lookout for these individuals.
FIRE PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
The Clairton Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) was formed in April of 1988 and provides fire and emergency medical services to the residents of Clairton. The VFD is an all volunteer department with a chief and 50 volunteer fireman. The station is manned 24 hours a day, seven days a week by a minimum of a driver and a firefighter. All members are trained in the Essentials of Firefighting
and some members have specialty training, including Hazardous Material Response, Vehicle Rescue, Confined Space rescue, Rope Rescue, Rapid Intervention, and SCUBA diving. The VFD also owns and operates Club 46, which is on Division Avenue. The club offers a full menu for lunch and dinner as well as entertainment and special events.
The EMS division of the VFD is a paid ambulance service with 30 part-time EMT’s and Paramedics
that provide residents with service 24 hours a day, as well as 16 hours per day in the neighboring Borough of Glassport. Each member of the department is certified in firefighter and EMS training.

When playing it safe is not an option
Digital transformation in the post-pandemic consumer industry
The pandemic has changed the consumer industry, resulting in winners and losers across many sub-sectors. Demand for online groceries is surging and digital entertainment is a must-have, while dine-in and travel have dropped off substantially. These shifts have sparked a rush for digital transformation initiatives.
As COVID-19 amplifies consumers’ willingness to shop online, people are seeking out seamless omnichannel experiences, thus transforming all segments of the consumer industry. Employees, too, are welcoming digital processes that allow them to stay safe while working from home. In the wake of this adaptation, consumer brands must guard against commoditization, and instead built trust in their products and services—both physical and digital.
This paper outlines key actions for digital transformation:
- Defining your digital narrative
- Becoming digital-first
- Letting your customer guide you
- Freeing yourself from legacy constraints
- Focusing on outcomes, not just roadmaps
In this uncertain economy, some organizations may be tempted to pad their bottom line by scaling back plans for digital transformation, not fully understanding the resulting business implications. A better plan is to double down on this technological evolution and find ways to lead the market.

"One fall afternoon as I was driving the backroads of Floyd County, VA, I came upon this old home just as the sun was showcasing it in a brilliant light. A fan of old homes and barns, I couldn't resist taking the picture. This scene evokes warm memories for many people who grew up in simple home-places where families and neighbors would often gather to visit, share meals, listen to music, and enjoy the time spent together."

How to Verify What Your Potential Nearshoring Vendor Says
I know almost every company in our nearshoring model claims they are the best in (here comes the list). And this standard pitch was always making me doubt – if we say alike things, how can a potential client verify what we say?
Ideally, there are absolute and dry facts that the client sees, and puts into comparison with else vendors.
What these facts may be?
- Transparency. Speaking of remote dedicated development teams, ask your vendor how they form the price and what they charge in addition to what the team will actually make. Whether it is “corporate secret” or it is not, fact it is.
- Who the vendor works with. Name the clients, and let the potential one talk to them. Of course not every client wishes/allows to be listed, we all understand it, so should be you. But, name a few and talk to these few. As dry as it may be.
- Contract itself. Have your Vendor make you a 1 A4 summary of those 20+ pages, to see what you and your Vendor contractually obligate to. And compare these with else contracts. No emotions, all on a paper.
While I like operating our achievements a lot (may it be staff or client retention numbers, speed of recruiting, or level of relationships we have with our clients), these numbers are hard to verify. You would need to trust. And ideally, this trust comes from something objective, like my 3 points above.

I am an engineering graduate from the University of Ottawa who will most likely be spotted on a bicycle or on skis when not in front of a computer. I started working at ARI in September 2017 to write a feasibility report for the diversion of waste cardboard to make fuel pellets. Since then, I have been involved with wind and solar monitoring projects and the Merging Arts and Crafts with Technology and Manufacturing Course, while still having the opportunity to maintain my participation in the Inuvik Robotics and Engineering Club that is hosted out of ARI.
My favourite part of the job is data analysis; either opening up a blank excel document or starting a new project in Visual Studio in order to model a system or predict future data. Outside of working hours, I enjoy working on small Finite Element Analysis and Parametric design projects, usually involving bicycles, as well as writing small computer games using Scratch or Gamemaker Studio.
Skills and Expertise
At University, my favourite subjects were Finite Element Analysis, Composite Materials, and Mechatronics. As a result, these are the topics that I spent the most time learning about. Although these topics are quite specific, they provide some great transferable skills in the broader fields of data analysis, system modelling, data visualization, and report writing, while helping me fine tune my gut reaction to when one piece of data does not fit in with the rest.
- Manufacture and Use of Cardboard Fuel Pellets in Inuvik NT: This was the project I was originally hired to work on. My role was to complete a feasibility study on using waste cardboard as a heating source in Inuvik. This involved a test cardboard collection program, literature review, emissions modelling, and much more. As of 2018, a pilot project is being setup.
- Norman Wells Wind Resource Assessment Program:So far my role has been to aid in the coordination of a new meteorological tower installation in Norman Wells. This tower will be the second to be installed in Norman Wells and should improve our understanding of the wind resource in that area.
- Aurora Research Institute Building Energy Monitoring:The Aurora Research Institute building has several demonstration solar systems installed on its roof and walls. My role in this project is the collection and organization of the telemetry data collected by the solar systems.

For this month’s writing invitational, we asked you to tell us about your relationship with your kitchen. We got some terrific essays that we’ll post on the next several Mondays. First off is Ashlee Clark’s reminder that, no matter how small or inconvenient or outdated your current kitchen is, chances are you had it worse in college.
Clark is a freelancer writer and editor in Louisville, Kentucky. She writes about local food and frugal eating at her website, Ashlee Eats.
By Ashlee Clark
I traveled through a medley of kitchens befitting of the life of a young adult during my college years. Dormitory kitchens were the worst.
These kitchens were dark and abandoned rooms at the end of the hall outfitted with a stove, sink and little else. The rooms always smelled of stale pizza and popcorn from other students’ half-hearted cooking endeavors.
In the three dorms I lived in during my time as an underclassman, there was usually just one kitchen on each floor. I had the misfortune of always being on the opposite end of the hallway from aforementioned cooking spaces. Every time I got an itch to eat something that required more prep than tuna salad, I would have to gather my meager collection of utensils in a plastic grocery bag, go to the kitchen, make my dish, then take it all back. God forbid you leave your cooking tools in a communal kitchen. It would take only five minutes of your absence for your cookware to end up in the trash or in someone else’s grocery bag.
Making pigs in a blanket, a comfort food that nourished me through many Western Civilization study sessions, was a true test of patience and stealth. I never realized how much it took to make this tasty treat until I had to carry it down a long, The Shining-esque hallway. There was the tube of crescent rolls, the package of hot dogs, the cheese slices. The Pam, the baking sheet, the oven mitts. The knife, the spatula, the plate.
I would spread my supplies across the Formica countertop and assemble my meal by the dim light above the oven. But slicing and stuffing a hot dog with cheese and rolling the creation in dough was simple compared to getting my meal back to my room with the original number of pigs in a blanket in hand.
The scent of processed meat quickly slid under the doors of my neighbors as my meal baked. Hallmates to whom I had never spoken would slide down to the kitchen and create some idle chitchat before finally asking me to share. My hungry belly wanted to yell out, “Make your own, buddy,” but my Southern manners always made me oblige their request.
So to avoid sharing my bounty, I had to cook with ninja-like stealth. As soon as I slipped my baking sheet into the oven, I began covering my tracks. I threw away plastic cheese wrappers. I vigorously washed my utensils. I gathered everything I could back into my grocery bag and waited for the dough to turn a golden brown and the cheese to start dripping down the sides of the meat. At the first sign that my meal was complete, I took the tray in one oven-mitt-covered hand and the grocery bag in the other. I peeked my head out the door and sprinted down the hallway before someone discovered my culinary delight. This task was made difficult by the clanging of the utensils against my aerosol can of cooking spray, but I never stopped. If someone stepped out of their room, I gave them a simple nod without slowing my pace.
I repeated this process a few times each month for much of my college career. All that sneaking around taught me how to cook in an inadequate kitchen under extreme pressure. And I still have a soft spot for pigs in a blanket.

Lipodystrophic disorders in general are associated with metabolic syndrome. Both genetic (e.g., Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy, Dunnigan familial partial lipodystrophy) and acquired (e.g., HIV-related lipodystrophy in patients treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy) forms of lipodystrophy may give rise to severe insulin resistance and many of metabolic syndrome's components. https://www.womenonbusiness.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/learn-in-red-on-keyboard.jpg
Your current healthcare provider may not end up being your future provider, but your current body is yours forever. If you undergo any blood tests or exams, ask for copies of the results so that you can keep them filed away at home. It’s essential that you know your baseline numbers and keep track of the evolution of your health throughout the course of your life.
First, the essence of MRT is to pack more exercise into less time. This is best achieved by employing high repetitions (15-20 reps per set, equating to about 60-65% 1RM) with minimal rest between sets4. The key to optimizing results is to train at maximal or near-maximal levels of effort. So take most sets to muscular failure or close to it (equating to a Rated Perceived Exertion [RPE] of 9 or 10 on a scale of 1-10). If you aren't sufficiently pushing yourself to complete each set, the metabolic effect and your results will suffer.
Triglycerides are a common form of fat that we digest. Triglycerides are the main ingredient in animal fats and vegetable oils. Elevated levels of triglycerides are a risk factor for heart disease, heart attack, stroke, fatty liver disease, and pancreatitis. Elevated levels of triglycerides are also associated with diseases like diabetes, kidney disease, and medications (for example, diuretics, birth control pills, and beta blockers). Dietary changes, and medication if necessary can help lower triglyceride blood levels. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HfSlhc6-kes/hqdefault.jpg?sqp
Kidney damage from diabetes is called diabetic nephropathy. The onset of kidney disease and its progression is extremely variable. Initially, diseased small blood vessels in the kidneys cause the leakage of protein in the urine. Later on, the kidneys lose their ability to cleanse and filter blood. The accumulation of toxic waste products in the blood leads to the need for dialysis. Dialysis involves using a machine that serves the function of the kidney by filtering and cleaning the blood. In patients who do not want to undergo chronic dialysis, kidney transplantation can be considered. https://www.lorilynnsmith.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/2012-04-30_2116.png

The goal of treating metabolic syndrome is to prevent the development of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Your doctor will first suggest lifestyle modifications such as exercising for 30 minutes most days of the week. One study showed that individuals who are physically active (30 minutes of activity at least once per week) have half the risk of developing metabolic syndrome than those who are inactive. Your doctor may also suggest eating a healthy diet to promote weight loss and normal blood cholesterol and fat levels. https://www.healthshare.com.au/storage/e2d6972eb9e9fe519fb8847f9afe0d6f.png.60x60_q85_box-0,0,446,446.png
Not so anymore. Thanks to the rising obesity epidemic in young people, kids and teens are getting these conditions — and they're getting them earlier than ever before. Some estimates say that nearly 1 in 10 teens — and over a third of obese teens — have metabolic syndrome. And a study of 375 second- and third-graders found that 5% had metabolic syndrome and 45% had one or two risk factors for it.
At the end of the twelve-week study both groups lost weight, but the difference in the amount of muscle vs. fat loss was telling. The aerobic group lost 37 pounds over the course of the study. Ten of those pounds came from muscle. In contrast, the resistance-training group lost 32 pounds. None of the weight they lost came from muscle. When the resting metabolic rate of each group was calculated, the aerobic group was shown to be burning 210 fewer calories per day. The resistance-training group avoided this metabolic decline and instead was burning 63 more calories per day.
Practice relaxation or slow, deep breathing. Practice taking deep, slow breaths to help relax. There are some devices available that promote slow, deep breathing. According to the American Heart Association, device-guided breathing may be a reasonable nondrug option for lowering blood pressure, especially when anxiety accompanies high blood pressure or standard treatments aren't well-tolerated. https://www.clairekerslake.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/claire3.jpg
Research shows that Western diet habits are a factor in development of metabolic syndrome, with high consumption of food that is not biochemically suited to humans. Weight gain is associated with metabolic syndrome. Rather than total adiposity, the core clinical component of the syndrome is visceral and/or ectopic fat (i.e., fat in organs not designed for fat storage) whereas the principal metabolic abnormality is insulin resistance. The continuous provision of energy via dietary carbohydrate, lipid, and protein fuels, unmatched by physical activity/energy demand creates a backlog of the products of mitochondrial oxidation, a process associated with progressive mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance.
Physical inactivity is a predictor of CVD events and related mortality. Many components of metabolic syndrome are associated with a sedentary lifestyle, including increased adipose tissue (predominantly central); reduced HDL cholesterol; and a trend toward increased triglycerides, blood pressure, and glucose in the genetically susceptible. Compared with individuals who watched television or videos or used their computers for less than one hour daily, those who carried out these behaviors for greater than four hours daily have a twofold increased risk of metabolic syndrome.
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels that result from defects in insulin secretion, or its action, or both. Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes (as it will be in this article) was first identified as a disease associated with "sweet urine," and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world. Elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia) lead to spillage of glucose into the urine, hence the term sweet urine.

Endocrinology is the specialty of medicine that deals with hormone disturbances, and both endocrinologists and pediatric endocrinologists manage patients with diabetes. People with diabetes may also be treated by family medicine or internal medicine specialists. When complications arise, people with diabetes may be treated by other specialists, including neurologists, gastroenterologists, ophthalmologists, surgeons, cardiologists, or others.
In the Framingham Heart Study, the age-adjusted risk of congestive heart failure was 2.3 times higher in men and 3 times higher in women when the highest BP was compared to the lowest BP. Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT) data showed that the relative risk for coronary artery disease mortality was 2.3 to 6.9 times higher for persons with mild to severe hypertension than it was for persons with normal BP. The relative risk for stroke ranged from 3.6 to 19.2. The population-attributable risk percentage for coronary artery disease varied from 2.3 to 25.6%, whereas the population-attributable risk for stroke ranged from 6.8-40%. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/54Ep_LFJ9Wc/3.jpg

5 Top Stock Ideas for 2014
“I hear way too much optimism going forward,” commented BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) CEO Laurence Fink at the World Economic Forum in Davis, “we’re going to be in a world of much greater volatility.” Fink was referencing the global economy at large, but the pointed focus for much of BlackRock’s business is in the U.S. financial markets, where the future of the markets are, as he said, anything but certain.
Between political divisiveness, federal fiscal disorganization, and the taper, the equity market began tripping over itself with the start of the New Year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down more than 1 percent this year to date and the S&P 500 is up 1.22 percent. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is way down for the year so far, falling nearly from 3 percent in January to about 2.65 percent at the end of February.
It can be hard to identify and locate investment opportunities in an environment like this, but many market watchers still believe there will be some winners this year despite all the uncertainty. Credit Suisse’s equity research team released a report in early 2014 identifying more than 50 conviction stock calls from all over the map. The report is designed to serve as an introduction to some interesting investment ideas. Here’s a closer look at five of Credit Suisse’s picks.
1. Monsanto Company (NYSE:MON)
It would be convenient if we could simply locate Monsanto at the intersection of food and science, but we can’t. The address is missing a third dimension, some identifier explaining where the business falls on the spectrum between “Big Agro” and the organic food movement championed by smaller farms. Monsanto is the poster boy for Big Agro, so keep an eye out for patent litigation and anti-GMO protests when locating this company.
That Monsanto is often vilified by healthy food and sustainable farming advocates is no secret. According to the Financial Times, CEO Hugh Grant has contended with the issue first hand, recently speaking about brand and the philosophical and moral schism over the use of GMOs and gene patenting at a conference in London hosted by the Economist. Vehement opposition has fueled political debate on the issue, which right now is tied up in the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA.) The law expands the authority of the Food and Drug Administration as agricultural regulator, and its implementation has been a boon for Monsanto, whose biotechnology is used to satisfy the “preventative” ambition of food safety administrators.
Credit Suisse suggests that Monsanto has a “best-in-class” base seed portfolio as well as a healthy R&D pipeline, which should allow it to grow its market share across the Americas. Analyst Chris Parkinson estimates earnings of $5.31 per share in fiscal 2014, slightly more bullish than the current mean analyst estimate and representing potential growth of about 15.4 percent. Parkinson’s price target is $134, “based on 21x our FY16 normalized EPS estimate of $7.40, discounted back (implies an average annual total of ~17.5 percent EPS growth.)” This represents potential upside of nearly 30 percent.
2. Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C)
Citigroup may have made headlines for all the wrong reasons at the end of February, but market watchers have been leaning on the bank as a good pick for 2014 for months. Even underwhelming year-end results haven’t dissuaded the bulls. If anything, Citigroup’s relatively low cost has encouraged those with faith in their thesis, like Credit Suisse analyst Moshe Orenbuch.
Orenbuch argues that there is a “disconnect” between Citigroup’s valuation at 8.9 times 2015 earnings and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) trading at 11.4 times forward earnings. Both banks have strong earnings growth forecasts for the coming years and have similar revenue growth forecasts. Both banks have and will continue to benefit from the economic recovery, which is projected to meander along more or less healthily for the near future.
One of the reasons Orenbuch likes Citigroup in particular, though, is because of its exposure to emerging markets, arguing that, “Exposure to emerging markets which will outpace domestic growth positions.” Another catalyst is a dramatic increase in the dividend, which is expected sometime in the next few years. Citigroup stock currently has a dividend yield of just 0.1 percent, a legacy of the financial crisis, but analysts at Bloomberg project a yield of 1.16 percent in 12 months.
3. Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ:CMCSA)
Shares of Comcast have sold off more than 4 percent over the past month after the company announced its intention to pursue a merger with Time Warner Cable (NYSE:TWC). The two companies proclaimed the “strategic combination” — the corporate equivalent of a political marriage on February 13. Comcast and Time Warner executives believe the deal will be accretive to cash flow and that they can squeeze about $1.5 billion in efficiencies from the combined entity. The veracity of this claim has been questioned by skeptics of the deal, but scale is a compelling argument. The new Comcast would have a full 30 percent of the U.S. pay television market (about 30 million subscribers) under its belt, and a presence in 19 out of 20 of the nation’s largest television markets.
The upside for Comcast stock at the end of the road isn’t super clear, though. Credit Suisse analyst Michael Senno argues that Comcast is worth $54 per share, which is about where the stock was before the merger announcement. He wrote that, “We view CMCSA’s operations and product offering as best in class in cable, an advantage we believe CMCSA derives from: 1. a strong management team, 2. extensive marketing, and 3. product innovation that reduces churn, drives better HSD growth than peers, and results in higher ARPU.”
4. Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG)
Over the past few years, Google stock has been on the kind of insane rally that has made everyone without a couple of shares of Google in their possession green with envy. The stock is up nearly 300 percent over the past five years, climbing nearly 100 percent in the past two years and more than 52 percent in the past 52 weeks, handily beating the performance of the over all market.
Google is an “attractive combination of growth and valuation,” according to Credit Suisse analyst Stephen Ju. “We forecast mid-to-high teens revenue growth over the next few years owing to sustained growth in core paid search, with incremental contribution from display and video.” Ju has a $1,450 price target on Google stock, representing potential upside of about 19 percent.
One of the things that makes Google appealing is that it is expanding — aggressively, one could argue — into new areas. One of those areas is Google Fiber, and gigabit Internet service which is looking to expand. Cities being considered for the expansion include Nashville, Tennessee; Portland, Oregon; San Jose, California; Phoenix, Arizona; and Atlanta, Georgia, among others. Google VP of Access Services, Milo Medin, said that these cities were chosen because they have “made high-speed broadband a pillar of their economic development plans.”
5. Chevron Corp. (NYSE:CVX)
As far as big, steady companies go, Chevron is among the biggest and steadiest. Chevron stock currently offers a dividend yield of 3.5 percent, and analysts hold a mean price target of $130 per share, representing possible upside of about 13 percent. Credit Suisse analyst Edward Westlake is more bullish than most with a $140 price target, possible upside of about 21.7 percent.
Chevron stock is down nearly 7 percent this year to date and by about 1 percent on the year, which at first glance is a warning sign. Chevron did report a fairly underwhelming fourth-quarter. Earnings fell 32 percent on the year to $4.9 billion, or $2.57 per diluted share, matching the mean analyst estimate — full-year earnings fell 18 percent to $21.4 billion, or $11.09 per diluted share, below the mean analyst estimate of $11.21 per share. Fourth-quarter sales and other operating revenues fell 3.6 percent to $54 billion — full-year revenues fell 4.5 percent to $220.16 billion, both lighter than the mean analyst estimate.
But Westlake believes that Chevron, thanks in part to its strong North American shale portfolio, could perform particular well in the near-to-mid future. Westlate argues that Chevron’s “shale portfolio will become an important addition to its conventional portfolio (Tengiz, deepwater Gulf of Mexico), driving reinvestment returns higher beyond 2017. CVX could generate $50bn of cashflow in 4 years’ time, almost as much as XOM today.”

Jack Graham is the pastor of Prestonwood Baptist and among the most influential Christians in America. Graham joins Hank to discuss his book Angels: Who They Are, What They Do, and Why It Matters and the underestimation of the influence of angels in our lives. Their conversation touches on common misconceptions about angels, the presence of angels throughout the Bible, and the existence of both holy angels and dark angels.
Topics discussed include: how Jack Graham went from wanting to be a professional baseball player to becoming a pastor of one of the largest, most influential churches in the world (3:15); the influence of Prestonwood Baptist in the United States, and why Graham is uncomfortable with the label of megachurch (6:15); the mass exodus of millennials from the church today and the rise of the nones (no religious affiliation) (9:00); providing an alternative to Planned Parenthood though the ministry of the Prestonwood Pregnancy Center (12:35); the influence and significance of angels in our lives, and why Graham is so passionate about angels (14:40); the presence and significance of angels throughout the Bible and the presence of guardian angels in our lives (19:55); remembering that there are angels in the angelic state and also angels in the fallen state — addressing holy angels and dark angels (23:15); common misconceptions people have about angels (29:05); looking to the Book of Isaiah as an example of why our focus should be on the holiness of God rather than our own happiness (32:55); the need for more Christians to not only read the Bible but to memorize and meditate on the Bible (37:25); the responsibility of Christians to be involved in mentorship in the Christian community (41:55); Hanegraaff and Graham share their views on retirement and how it relates to Christian ministry (43:45); the state of evangelism in China (45:05); Hanegraaff personally thanks Graham for his consistent support and encouragement during Hanegraaff’s battle with cancer (48:00); and Graham gives his perspective on the current state of the United States of America (51:10).

InSpiral Café perches above Camden Lock, overlooking the dark, sluggish swirl of the canal and the snaking crowds of tourists that turn this corner of north London into a perpetual carnival. Duck inside, away from camera-waving school kids and dour Goths on permanent patrol, and you’ll find a space that embodies “alternative lifestyles”. Think wood fittings, psychedelic trance posters, fliers soliciting volunteer staff and shelves lined with raw granola and herbal elixirs. The clientele is a heterogeneous mix of hemp-clad American university students, deliberately scruffy London media types, Italian teenagers and heavily pierced locals. It is easy to get distracted by the bustle of this human traffic but if you do, you miss the main event: the food.
Laid out in unpretentious, school-dinner fashion, InSpiral offers a selection of hot dishes that includes a scrumptious aubergine parcel, lasagne, and a regularly-changing array of sides like roasted root vegetables, cheesy cauliflower and potato wedges. The adjoining case holds elegant cold salads: arugula, Caesar, and edible flowers. Order any main and you get three hot or cold sides. If you’re a nibbler (as I am) you can order a small, medium or large pick-a-mix plate and try a bit of everything. They serve a robust range of organic beers, wines and cocktails; Fair Trade coffee; herbal teas; and juices, smoothies and coconut water.
Alternatively, you may want to skip the savoury food altogether and feast on the sublime cakes winking from next to the till. Depending on the day your options may include peanut butter cup cake, tiramisu, berry-topped cheesecake, banoffee pie, or a work of art known as the chocolate blackout torte. An extra £1.50 gets you a scoop of InSpiral’s own-recipe homemade ice cream. It will be the best one-pound-fifty you’ve ever spent.
It is unheard of to eat this well, and inexpensively, in central London. There must be a catch, right? In a fashion, yes: InSpiral Café is vegan. Much of the food is raw (including that to-die-for chocolate blackout cake). Most of it is gluten free. It is entirely innocent of refined sugar or saturated fats. The vegetables are local and organic, as is the fruit in the unctuous smoothies. Salads and mains burst with protein-rich seeds and grains. Nibbles such as kale crisps and Crackits are rich in superfoods like maca root, baobob, spirulina, and yacon powder. Here, the more you eat (within reason) the better you feel. Forget calorie counting and label obsessions. InSpiral is mouth-watering proof that lovingly-prepared, plant-based foods are the ultimate antidote to diet anxiety.

An eight year old Cleveland boy was recently taken from his family and placed in foster care after case workers said that his mother wasn’t doing enough to control his weight.
The child in question is over 200 lbs – the average 8 yr old boy is 56 lbs.
Lawyers for the mother argue that the county “overreached” in taking her son, saying the kid’s health is not in imminent danger.
“They are trying to make it seem like I am unfit, like I don’t love my child,” the boy’s mother. “Of course I love him. Of course I want him to lose weight. It’s a lifestyle change, and they are trying to make it seem like I am not embracing that. It is very hard, but I am trying.”
What do you think?
And if you do agree that childhood obesity is child abuse, what do you think that “society” should do about it?
The Ohio state health department estimates more than 12 percent of third-graders statewide are severely obese.
- Do we take all those severely obese children away from their parents?
What about your neighborhood?
- Would you be okay with your local children’s aid society taking away 12% of the kids in your neighborhood?
- And why stop at obesity?
Without crappy parents, we wouldn’t have so many junkies, murderers, rapists, perverts, etc…
Even the best parents screw up their kids in some way.
And as much as it pisses me off to see parents enabling their kid’s obesity, I just don’t see how putting all our severely obese kids into foster homes makes any sense on a large scale.
But that’s just my opinion.

I've always had issues with Dry Scalp and Dandruff, particularly during the winter. Over the past couple years, I've also developed some sort of scalp sores that when picked at tend to bleed. They seem to continually come back.
I've tried a number of shampoos - Head and Shoulders, Nizoral, Aveda Pureformance, T/Gel, American Crew, etc. with varying results.
Nizoral seemed to do the trick for a long time (though I'd typically stop using after the dandruff went away and it would come back later) and I had limited success with H&S and T/Gel. Once I was about 18 I used primarily Aveda Pureformance and didn't have many issues with dry scalp/dandruff except a bit during the winter.
However, since I've developed these scalp sores I've been having issues. Head and Shoulders made them go away (both the Dandruff and head sores) but only for a short time. I have since been using a rotation of Head & Shoulders, Pureformance, and American Crew to no avail. My dandruff isn't too bad anymore but the scalp sores won't go away.
I haven't tried T/Gel or Nizoral since getting the scalp sores. I've heard promising stories about using Head & Shoulders to get rid of them (which is why I went out and bought some, and initially they went away but came back shortly after and now the H&S seems ineffective). I've also heard good things about T/Gel but had limited success with it in regards to dandruff in the past and I'm pretty skeptical about using coal tar. However, there is the 2in1 Daily Control which uses zinc instead of coal tar, anyone have any success with this?
TL;DR: I have dry scalp/dandruff/scalp sores... recommend me a shampoo to make it go away!
I've tried almost everything...the worst was the ones that contained sulfur...I'm allergic...I seriously need to start reading labels. lol
The one thing that I have found to help is apple cider vinegar.
You can use it after you shampoo and condition as a rinse.
Smells kind of nasty at first, but it does help.
My mom was a hairdresser and she always told everyone to use baby shampoo as it does not strip your scalp of essential oils.

Here’s how you make a no-budget narrative feature film:
Spend a year writing and rewriting a screenplay. About 100 pages or so. Don’t pay yourself. Organize about 30 friends to show up at 6 AM to work ten hour days. Persuade them to do this for free. Next, convince total strangers to let these 30 or so friends into their home or place of business to use their living room as a movie set. Again, for free.
Repeat every day for two or three weeks. It’s a wrap. Congratulations, you are now 1/3 of the way done. You now have to edit the film, prevail upon musician friends to donate songs for the soundtrack, for free, and dodge creditors.
Did I mention? It’s the mid 1970s. There is no such thing as HD video. No Final Cut Pro. No websites with handy low-budget production tips. Instead, dozens of rolls of 16mm film have to be shipped to a lab hundreds of miles away for processing. If that living room scene comes out too dark (or not exposed at all), too bad, you cannot afford to reshoot. There is no Fed Ex. No Sundance premiere as mythic goal justifying it all. No cell phones to wake oversleeping actors.
Imagine making this feature length film with no training, no PBS grants, and no rich uncles. Indie role models to emulate don’t exist yet: Spike Lee is still in Junior High; Jim Jarmusch not yet in film school; Slacker, and the so-called birth of the American independent film movement, still 15 years off. You have no choice but to invent DIY cinema as you stumble along.
All you know for certain, from the very beginning of your long strange trip, is this simple fact: At the end of the day, at the end of your struggles, Hollywood will not buy your movie. It will not screen in mainstream theaters. It will never play on TV. You are Chicano. They are not interested in your life. You live in the West Side of San Antonio. Your subject matter is the inner-city community around you.
This simple fact does not deter you.
To get fellow raza to see your film -- and they will, by the thousands -- you will have to pack your single, precious movie print, all that you could afford, into the trunk of your car and drive the countless miles from Texas to California, renting theaters along the way, charging tickets at the door. You eke out a profit. You are exhausted. Your personal life in shambles.
You do this again. Three times in five years.
Welcome to the world of independent filmmaker Efrain Gutierrez.

Anyone, anyone? Bon Jovi? No?
Sigh... oh well.
Only one day late with my week 20 post! That's an improvement, right?
So, week 20... let's see. It was a pretty good week overall. Though I've had a resurgence of fatigue and a strong need to nap a few times a day over the last week, I've also had days where I felt totally energetic and normal, and I've managed to accomplish a fair bit on those days, so I consider it mostly a win.
For example, on Sunday of last weekend my husband and I took the dog for a 12.6km hike in the Whiteshell. It was beautiful, just strenuous enough to tire the dog out for a day or two, and left my calves and quads feeling like they'd done something. (There was a lot of steep-but short-up and down on the hike as we followed the cliff strewn lakeside trail around Hunt Lake and Westhawk Lake.)
The day before that I managed to go for another run and it felt better than the last one. I felt pretty good for the first half mile and then started to feel Speck jouncing against my bladder, which was... uncomfortable, but not painful, so I kept running for a while and then eventually walked my way home. Slow improvement. I'll take it.
Tuesday was the day of eating ALL THE THINGS. It could partially be due to me recovering form the hike, but DAMN. I ate two cinnamon rolls for breakfast, had a homemade energy bar for a snack, two portions of lasagna plus another cinnamon roll for lunch, and then another two portions of lasagna, plus a salad, plus garlic bread for dinner! Holy bottomless pit, Batman!
Then on Wednesday Speck very clearly requested brownies. So, I made brownies. From scratch. They were actually pretty good. But what's up with the sugar cravings, Speck? That's not usually how we roll. (As an aside, Speck celebrated the consumption of brownies by breakdancing in utero. At least I assume that's why I was getting punched and kicked every few seconds for about 20 minutes.)
All that food has been fueling my creativity though, and over the past week I've managed to add over 20,000 words to my latest novel. So that's a major win! I'm hoping to finish the first draft by the end of this weekend. I am greatly enjoying this return to creative capacity, because I had been feeling terrible about how little progress I'd made on my latest works in progress for the past few months. This is much more like it.
So for some reason I feel like I'm looking more barrel chested than pregnant, but certainly I'm noticeably... different. Anyway here's the week 20 pic so you can see for yourself:
And here is proof that I actually went hiking during week 20:
That about sums it up on the week 20 update. Oh, just for a splash of TMI it's been a pretty gassy week. I hear that's pretty normal though. Pregnant ladies fart a lot. Go figure. See you next week where we may have... pictures of Speck! That's right, our very first (and probably only) ultrasound is on Monday. We won't be finding out the sex but we're still excited to see the little one. And we're interviewing a doula today, but that's technically part of week 21 so I'll tell you all about it next week.
Ok. I'm done now. Seriously. I mean it.

Re: [civilwarwest] Re: Civil War Talk Radio
- It's one of the best Lincoln books I've read in a long while.Harry----- Original Message -----From: Carl WilliamsSent: Thursday, May 08, 2008 8:48 AMSubject: [civilwarwest] Re: Civil War Talk Radio
Prokopowicz, the host of CWTR, wrote a new book entitled "Did Lincoln
Own Slaves?" I believe he means for that to be an ironical title, a
question this professor often gets from students, etc.
So I would think that is what Raul saw at that website, an
advertisement for that book.
I have ordered the book and perhaps can report on it here, but will
have to be careful if the title is any indication [btw, he re-assures
that it is not just a book that is written for 'young readers'... as
might be concluded from that title]
- if you like civil war talk radio... more grist for the mill? civil war
oriented, but you can't tell by the title
- I just wanted to pass this information on to other Civil War enthusiasts.
Civil War Talk Radio is an internet based "radio" program hosted by Gerry Prokopowicz, History Department Head at East Carolina University. Each show is an hour long interview with leading historians and authors of Civil War topics.
For those of you that listen to the show, you know that the "official" website (http://www.voiceamerica.com/worldtalkradio/vshow.aspx?sid=865) run by the overlords at World Talk Radio is very cumbersome and does not get updated regularly with show information.
There is a new fan based website that organizes the shows and is updated regularly as the season moves forward. It is called Impediments of War, located at www.impedimentsofwar.org, and includes the current season and archived shows of the past 6 seasons. You can obtain information on the guests, descriptions of shows and links back to the World Talk Radio servers for downloading or listening to the MP3s.

A Cake and a Mousse
Today, Ray and I went with Christina, Suj and Kavi, and Jenny and Rachel to Tarpon Springs, about an hours drive south of Christina's house, to eat at one of our all time favorite restaurants, "Mr. Souvlaki". When we lived in Florida, we would go there to order "Greek Chow Mein", which is greek seasoned pork with onions, peppers and feta cheese, over rice pilaf. It was quite yummy and it was nice to visit this place after not being there for several years. We then went to walk around the sponge docks which is a tourist area with more restaurants, souvenir shops and bakeries. I felt like I was going to melt after about 5 minutes, even though when we left Alabama it was several days in a row of 100 degree weather, I have never adjusted to summer swelter!
I was however temporarily revived when we went inside "Hellas" bakery where there are dozens of very attractive pastry choices and icy cold water.
A few years back my daughters and a bunch of their friends went to this bakery and when they asked the lady behind the counter to describe several of the offerings, she gave the same description for all of them. "It's like a ...cake and a mousse" (said in a Greek accent with cake and a mousse sounding like one word said really fast). What about this one, they would ask and she would reply," It's like a cake and a mousse" And how about this? "A cake and a mousse"
I asked my husband to pick me out something chocolatey while I fanned myself and drank cold water, and he brought me back the most delicious "cake and a mousse" ! Chocolate cake on the bottom drenced in Rum, then chocolate mousse, then more cake, them more mousse, then chocolate frosting with shaved chocolate on top!! The best cakeandamousse I ever had!

5 Horse automatic truck
1995 Isuzu 5 automatic horse truck for serious horse people - none of that living quarters nonsense! 392,150 km. NSW rego to 15th October 2022. Takes 5 thoroughbreds on an angle load with the front bay an extra half size for extra big horses. Requires MR license but doesn't need log books. Driven by a 5'6'' lady and can belt along the highway. Super reliable, just starts every time. Always looked after and serviced when due (or before), this truck has new engine hoses, good tyres, near new horse non-slip matting inside, extra ventilation, horse area camera and rear camera. It has bluetooth as well but is a bit hard to hear, air conditioning, a great heater and a wireless! Driving lights, 6 cylinder diesel, Tare weight 5820kg, GVM 9500kg. Wheelbase 4.2m, exterior length 7.9m, height 3.8m, width 2.3m Inside horse area - length 4.8m, width 2.3m, height 2.25m Bay - width .69m, length 2.45m - add a half for the front bay. It has been a great truck for us, but we have downsized to a float as only carting 1-2 horses around now and dicky hips and knees make getting in and out of the truck a challenge!

Chanel True Blue (57) Stylo Yeux Waterproof Eyeliner
Chanel True Blue (57) Stylo Yeux Waterproof Eyeliner ($30.00 for 0.01 oz.) is described as a “turquoise blue.” It’s a light-medium blue with silver and blue sparkle and shimmer. It doesn’t look teal or have any real flash of green to make a turquoise kind of color. This blue eyeliner comparison post features swatches of a lot of shades that compare with this one, most notably YSL #9 (more turquoise), bareMinerals 4AM (more opaque, so it appears bluer), and then Make Up For Ever #7L/Tarina Tarantino Kanzashi/Urban Decay Electric (all brighter blues).
This pencil was a painful, frustrating experience in why high-end doesn’t always equate to better. The consistency of the pencil is very, very dry and stiff. It tugged, pulled, and was incredibly difficult to apply with even, opaque color (and I would have settled for sheer but even). It almost feels like it’s scraping along the lash line. When you swatch an eyeliner on your arm, the amount of pressure you find yourself using is often much more than you would to the lash line (whether lower or upper), and I couldn’t even get it to build up well in a swatch. I should know better than to buy this, given how disappointed I was with Or Rose in December–but I am a SUCKER! for blues and teals in eyeliner form. On the upside, it wears well; doesn’t seem to fade, smudge, or budge from where it gets applied–it just never, ever looks even, smooth. It always looks jagged and dry.

Sony’s Xperia E4 was announce earlier this year, and it showed off a new design which Sony referred to as a ‘curved, OmniBalance design’. Basically, more rounded, more curvy. Neat.
The Xperia E4 would come in two variants, one supporting 3G (HSPA) only, and one supporting 4G as well. With Australian telcos all pushing their 4G networks, it’s little surprise that the model we see here in Australia is the 4G variant, which is curiously named the Xperia E4g.
With a new design, which is quite visually pleasing and it is certainly a new look for the company’s mid-range phones, we wanted to see how this phone would go as a day to day phone with heavy usage.
Let’s find out.
- Stamina mode which gives up to 2 days charge
- Design is very different and really interesting — it brings some of Sony’s flair to what can be a fairly bland prepaid cadre
- Camera focus & shutter delay can result in blurry photos
- Rear audio speaker phone is something that will disappoint
Design and Hardware
The Xperia E4g is made of a plastic, rounded back which has that a textured plastic rear cover. This rear texture has a nice feel to it, although most would say it makes the phone feel cheap, it is something different to just an all out polished plastic design which is normally found on such low end devices. The addition of this material is very much a welcomed change at least to help differentiate the phone from the rest.
Going to the front of the phone, the Xperia E4g comes with a 4.7” IPS display which I will go into further detail in the next section. There is also a 2MP front facing camera which is found on the right hand side just next to the phone’s earpiece.
The power button is located on the right hand side in the middle of the phone, and just slightly below the power button we can find the volume rocker. Looking at the rear of the phone, we find the speaker towards the bottom with the Sony logo in the middle and the centre mounted camera at the top
Located on the left side of the E4g, towards almost the middle of the left hand side is the MicroUSB port.
The design is certainly something different and actually what makes me like the Xperia E4g, very much so. This kind of design could be well applied to future low to mid range mobiles from Sony, at least that could be a hopeful wish.
Internally, the Xperia E4g has a 1.5 GHz Quad Core MediaTek MT6732 processor with 1GB RAM. There is also 8GB flash storage, which can be expanded to 32GB via microSD which is all powered by Android 4.4.4 KitKat. So all up it’s not a bad rundown of specs for a entry level mobile phone.
The Xperia E4g comes with a 4.7″ qHD (540×960) resolution IPS display with a fairly low pixel density of 234ppi. Honestly it isn’t anything special and certainly is at the low end. With this low resolution, text appears a little pixelated, and this means when you’re reading text you may need to zoom a little to be able to see text more clearly.
The IPS display is very bright and spot on when it comes to the colour representation. In the daylight, the screen was able to be viewed without to much distraction or at least without glare interference. Using the phone inside is also not an issue given the brightness of the display.
Covering the display is a scratch-resistant glass, though it’s not Gorilla Glass. Personally I would have thought going with Gorilla Glass would have been a more appropriate choice but this could have been discounted in favour of Sony’s own cheaper scratch-resistant glass instead. Still, I do believe that going with a more trusted product like Gorilla Glass would have been a better option.
This is always a welcome addition that has become a standard thing with virtually all phones today.
Sony is one of the leading manufacturers of camera lenses and camera technology in the mobile phone business; in fact, Sony manufactures the sensors that power cameras included in almost all the top end phones.
Sony has utilised this technological prowess with the Xperia E4g, offering a 5MP rear camera providing some decent pictures. The E4g comes with a rear LED flash (sadly it’s not dual-tone) which is something you will have to use as soon as the sun goes down due to the lack of Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) in the camera hardware.
The Xperia E4g can capture HDR pictures along with 1080p video recording – something which is becoming fairly standard on the mid-range phone market, and a very welcome addition to phones in this price bracket.
On the front of the Xperia E4g is a 2MP camera which can capture 720p video recording along with at least providing a decent selfie shot.
The camera’s UI software is pretty easy to use, with the options that are easily accessible. I like the ease of the different modes without further hassles of trying to work out where these different modes are located. There’s a few different modes in the E4g software, though as usual most users will just use the E4g’s auto default Intelligent settings – the Sony equivalent of ‘Auto’ mode – which does produce some decent pictures.
There are some inconsistencies when using Auto mode or night mode, though. I found that once I uploaded pictures onto my computer, I noticed that pictures can come out with some unnatural colours, with intensified and much warmer tones like red and yellow.
Using the camera indoors can be one of the phone’s achilles heel, where the the light start to dim down a bit which can and does result in soft, smudgy photos with background noise. These grainy photos progressively become more of an issue in lower light levels thanks to the lack of OIS, which is expensive and was most likely not included due to price limitations. The situation doesn’t get any better with the usage of the LED flashlight causing overly bright and over-saturated images which cause further grainy noise to enter the photos.
One other issue with the camera is the ability to focus and shoot at the same time. Focusing on certain items in screen can cause the camera to take its time to focus accurately. If you take a shot before the focus software has had a chance to fully adjust and focus your picture, this can lead to blurry and at best distorted images.
There is also a delay of between 4-8 seconds from the cameras post processing of your snaps which can certainly become frustrating should you wish to instantly snap a picture without the need to wait, and as such, there’s no burst mode on the E4g.
The Xperia E4g comes with the usual suspects when it comes to WiFi connectivity, having Dual-Band WiFi connectivity (802.11 a/b/g/n) which ensures connection between the Xperia E4g and my home WiFi — which is in the centre of my house — is strong and never misses a skip. There is also WiFi direct and the ability to make the E4g into a mobile hotspot.
There is no Miracast availability on the Xperia E4g which is little disappointing, but it does keep on track with most prepaid phone not offering this service. It’s not something many people seem to use.
The E4g comes with Bluetooth version 4.1 which ensured that my Asus Zenwatch could be connected to the E4g without excessive drainage of battery power for both smartwatch and mobile phone.
Of course the E4g is a phone first and foremost, and you can use it on all the 3G/2G networks to make calls with ease. It’s not likely that the phone will work with Telstra’s VoLTE offering, but on a prepaid, this really is to be expected. The phone is locked to the Telstra network, as it is a pre-paid device. You can unlock it if you’re willing to pay a small fee, though.
Telstra’s 4GX network which aggregates their Band 28 (700MHz) and Band 3 (1800MHz) frequencies isn’t present on this handset, but the E4g does have the ability to use the lower frequency Band 28 network making for great reception inside buildings – a benefit of the lower frequency LTE band.
Powering the Xperia E4g is a 1.5 GHz Quad Core MediaTek MT6732 processor, which when partnered with the 1 GB RAM, certainly has been able to handle most tasks with ease.
The use of a Mediatek processor is somewhat a step out of the ordinary for Sony, with Qualcomm processors more the norm. The 1.5 GHz Quad Core MediaTek MT6732 processor / 1GB RAM combo works surprisingly well on the E4g though, ensuring the phone can handle just about anything I threw at it.
Activities such as games or apps running were smooth and even streaming video such as Netflix or Stan ran with almost no issues. I did find there were time where the software seemed to have a few hiccups and a couple of time where it did freeze – a restart fixed those issues.
Intensive apps like Asphalt 8 or Real Racer can stutter and don’t generally look or feel as smooth when playing on higher end devices however you can still play these games without too much frustration.
This is quite an achievement for a lower end device.
The Xperia E4g comes with Sony 3D Surround Sound technology (VPT). The E4g attempts to emulate the immersive sound you get on a home theatre when you plug headphones in – sadly, the supplied headset is nowhere near up to the task.
VPT is best used when watching a movie or TV Show from Google Play and I have to say the sound was similar in experience at least to my home surround sound system, provided you use a decent set of headphones of course.
Sony have also thrown in its xLoud Experience which is similar to the infamous ‘Beats Audio’ software found on earlier model Android handsets before their eventual acquisition by Apple. The xLoud Experience allows for a more clear, richer sound when listening to music and/or YouTube videos. Again this type of technology is generally only seen on high end devices from Sony and to have it brought onto the Xperia E4g is fantastic.
The Xperia E4g comes with a 2,300mAh Battery which is a good size for a low-end, entry-level phone. Sadly though, the battery is non removable, so should your battery need replacement, you can’t just grab a spare from the shop.
This said the E4g also includes Sony’s Stamina Mode which the company claims can provide at least 2 days battery life from a single charge.
Percentage wise, I did find the Xperia E4g can still have about 45-50% battery life towards the end of the day if I utilised just stamina mode. I could still use the E4g throughout the day without putting it on charge until I came home late at night. Of course there is also a setting for ultra stamina mode which can extend the battery life to up to 14 days from full charge by letting only basic functions operate on the phone such as: phone, contacts, messaging, camera, album, calendar, alarms and clocks, calculator, FM radio and settings only.
The battery and the inclusion of Sony’s Stamina Mode is certainly one of the main selling points for the Xperia E4g. However, as manufacturers start to realise that not everyone can afford high end or even mid level phones, they are slowly beginning to add feature like Stamina mode to their low end prepaid devices and it’s good to see Sony bring this technology to its Xperia E4g phone.
The Xperia E4g comes with Android 4.4.4 (Kit Kat), with of course some Sony modifications made to the launcher to give it that uniquely ‘Sony’ feel. The tweaks are fairly minor and if you haven’t used a Sony handset previously you’ll be well pleased for the most part as it’s mostly a stock Android experience.
The one sticking point, at a point in time when Android 6.0 is being released, is that Sony hasn’t made the effort to deliver the E4g with at least a minimum of Android 5.1 out of the box.
Sony has a pretty good track record updating their higher end mobile offerings, however their lower end devices tend to sit on their launch software for either an indefinite or at least an extended period. That said, Telstra has an update in their system to resolve the Stagefright issues – but beyond that, there is no indication of a platform update to Lollipop, and there’s not likely to be.
Android updates are always worth discussing when looking at a new phone, so this might be worth consideration in your buying process.
The E4g has a surprising lack of storage, with the spec sheet listing just 8GB of on-board storage, of which you’ll find just 5GB available for storing pictures, movies and more. This really isn’t much storage, and you would most certainly need to take advantage of the expandable memory option on the E4g which allows you to add up to 32GB of space via MicroSD.
The addition of memory through the MicroSD Card slot means you can now load your games from Google Play along with music and movies onto it as well. If you’re going to use the Xperia E4g for much beyond just making calls and text, you’d be well advised to look at extra storage — its cheap nowadays anyway.
The Xperia E4g comes with a suite of Sony’s own apps which sit alongside some of Google’s own apps when first setting up the phone for the first time.
The full list of Sony’s own apps available include: Album, AR Effect, AVG Protection, File Commander, Music, News from Socialife, OfficeSuite, Music, Play Station, Sketch, Smart Connect, Sony Select, Xperia Care Support, TrackID, TrackID TV, Xperia Update Centre, What’s New, Video, Phone, Messaging, FM Radio, Email, Contacts and Xperia Lounge.
There were two apps which captured my attention, the first was AR Effect, which enables you you take a picture of yourself or friends with Augmented Reality (AR) effects being placed into your snap, such as adding a dinosaur in the background or Mickey Mouse AR Effects into your photos. Of course, there are more effects that can be added and downloaded via Google Play (of course at an additional cost) but it is something to have some fun with. This app can be a little tricky to use and I did find it frustrating to operate, but when you can get it to work, it’s absolutely fun to use.
The second app was Sketch, which as the name suggestions is like a drawing app similar to what Scribble is for HTC and Note or drawing apps that are found on the Galaxy Note series phones. This app, unlike AR Effect, was much easier to use and again was fun. It’s useful too — if you take a photo, or a screenshot, and need to annotate it, Sketch is the easiest way to do it.
Both these apps I can clearly say would be enjoyable for younger users, but I love these types of fun apps too.
Sony Xperia E4g
- 2G: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
- 3G: Bands 1,2,4,5,8
- 4G: Bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,28
The Xperia E4g certainly is a different type of mobile phone design wise, and stood above its lower end price in terms of being a pleasure to hold and use.
The design for me is what makes this an attractive phone to consider using. It certainly is something which I would like to see Sony continue to do with its low-to-mid level mobile phones.
The other standout is Sony’s Stamina mode which certainly does excel and does as it promises, providing up to 2 days worth of charge. This type of technology has previously been limited to the company’s higher end mobile phones, and with battery life a keen focus on mobile technology these days, it’s good to see Sony bring this technology to their lower end phones.
As a leader in mobile photography sensors, I would like to see Sony hone in on the camera software issues, specifically the focus and shutter issues. Without adding cost, I am sure the company could tweak the camera software and technology to get a really clear, fast and vibrant picture – something that would set them apart at the lower end of the market.
The Xperia E4g is certainly a phone worth consideration for anyone who wants a reliable and sturdy first Android device that isn’t going to break the bank.
Would I purchase the Xperia E4g? Most likely not for my current needs, but the design is certainly attractive.
Would I recommend it to someone – that’s a bit of hard one to say. At $149 from Telstra for the 4G model, or $129 for the 3G model from Boost, it’s reasonably priced and would certainly warrant consideration if you’re in the market.

AUBURN, Alabama -- The New York Giants plan to keep Brandon Mosley busy when he hits training camp. The Auburn offensive lineman, selected in the fourth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday, may have to learn two positions.
"He may be a guy that can handle learning both guard and tackle right away so we look forward to that," said New York coach Tom Coughlin after the draft.
Mosley, who played tackle for the Tigers, was the only Auburn player selected in the draft. Long snapper Josh Harris, who participated in both the NFL Combine and the Senior Bowl, signed a free agent contract with Atlanta when the draft was over. Defensive back Neiko Thorpe signed a free agent deal with Kansas City.
Others who could sign free agent deals include quarterback Barrett Trotter, linebacker Eltoro Freeman and receiver Quindarius Carr.
Mosley was the 23rd offensive lineman selected overall, and the Giants' fifth overall selection. He was first offensive lineman picked by New York.
Auburn has had at least one offensive lineman drafted in each of the last seven years.
Mosley said watching the draft was tough.
"I was getting tired of seeing everyone go ahead of me and tired of watching, so I laid down to rest and right away I got a call from New Jersey and my heart dropped and I said 'here we go,'" Mosley said. "I was speechless when they called. I didn't know what to say, I was so excited.
"It was a nerve racking process. The first day I knew I wasn't going to get picked. Some of the teams and analysts had me going in the third to fifth rounds, so watching the third round Friday I was real nervous. I watched some of it (on television), but I tried not to watch too much. Entering the last day, I just told myself I didn't care where I got picked, or who picked me, I just wanted to get drafted. I couldn't have been more happy when the Giants called."
Moseley may have to learn both tackle and guard, but that's nothing really new. He learned how to play as an offensive lineman just two years ago once he signed with Auburn from junior college. Before that, he was a tight end and a defensive lineman.
"It was a long journey and process during my playing career, but it was well worth it," Mosley said. "I wouldn't have changed anything along the way."
Coughlin said Mosley has "very good gym numbers. He ran well in the 40-yard dash. We think he has good flexibility."
The Giants say Mosley had 99 knockdown blocks in 2011.
Mosley heads to the Giants at 6-foot-6 and 314 pounds. He ran a 5.21 40-yard dash and did 30 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press at the NFL Combine in February.

We had a final session of our Bibliotheca class today at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, which I am co-teaching with Jeffrey Schnapp. We used the time to explore the final projects of each of the students, some alone and some in groups. As a group, they are terrific, ranging from proposals to redesign and reuse particular library spaces (the Ashland (MA) Public Library, to expose more knowledge about the Nyanza Superfund site in the town, as well as familiar Harvard spaces, including the Loeb Library and the Lamont Library) to proposals for how RFIDs and wayfinding on mobile devices can improve the learning experience in and around libraries.
Two take-aways from today:
1) Process/Pedagogy: I’ve loved the porousness of this class. One of the expert reviewers today of the student projects was Kelly Miller, director of teaching and learning services for the 26,000-student-serving libraries at UCLA and recent CLIR fellow. Kelly read an earlier blog post I wrote about the class, said she’s be willing to visit, and flew across the country to participate in class. Others came from various corners of the Harvard Library staff, including my own home (the Harvard Law School Library — especially Jeff Goldenson, who jumped into the class with both feet, including co-producing a final presentation with a student in the class). The conversation has been richer for the diverse participation and willingness of the students to engage with an expansive group of experts who have come in and out of the classroom space and time. Ann Whiteside and her team at the Loeb Library have been very generous with their space and their insights, as well; it’s been fun to be teaching in an embedded way in the physical space of a forward-looking library.
2) Substance: The projects have mostly touched on the connection between the physical and virtual, one way or another. (To be clear: some wonderful and promising projects, including proposals for new types of carrels and text-based explication of the meaning of libraries from hundreds of years ago in Europe, didn’t take up the virtual much at all.) One of the things the students helped me to see, in new and dynamic ways, is the connectivity, not the separateness, of the two. It’s crucial, I believe, to see the virtual and the physical as deeply and meaningfully connected. Several projects considered how the physical might be integrated into the virtual; others went the other way around, and looked at how the virtual experience might connect into the physical in libraries. We’ve come a long way, I think, in libraries in a short time in this way. There’s no good case being made for seeing digital libraries as separate from the physical. Our users do not distinguish much between these environments, and we as those who work in, and design, libraries, shouldn’t either. Strength and insight comes from deep integration between the two.
I was equally struck by what a nice job the students did in doing homework about the background of the communities involved. One project considers the public library concept in particular developing countries contexts in Africa; others considered towns and cities in the United States and elsewhere around the world. The ideas by these design and architecture (and other graduate) students were well-grounded in not just the philosophy and history behind libraries, but also the important community contexts for which they’ve been designing. It’s very heartening, and speaks well of the GSD’s training program.

Pedro Araujo (Portugal’s Peter Pan) is a special person. His family’s wine heritage found a new direction when his father and his grandfather (the famous Adrian Ramos Pinto) decided to sell their Port house, Ramos Pinto. It was always a dream of Pedro’s father to buy this special plot of land, the Quinta do Ameal, just north of Porto, in the Vinho Verde region. After the passing of Pedro’s father, the renaissance of this ancient property began. Until you see it for yourself, you cannot imagine the scope of detail and authenticity that has been put into recreating the past and merging it with today, in both design and spirit. Once you set foot on the property, it is clear without even the need to ask if the vineyards and the grounds are tended with an organic practice. which they are. The entire property is densely green with life. No matter where you roam, there are happy bugs circling the air that seem to be infused with Pedro’s boyish charm and lust for life. It is a place that you won’t want to leave once you are there.
Lay of the Land
Quinta do Ameal is a strikingly beautiful estate that sits in the heart of the Lima Valley in the Minho region of Portugal. This is the most northerly region that borders the Atlantic Ocean to the west and is separated from Spain by the Minho River to the north. Though the region is named after the river, it is in fact the “Rio Lima” that gives the region its heart and soul. The Lima Valley begins where the river meets the sea and runs east towards a progressively more mountainous terrain. The vines benefit from cool breeze that blow in from the coast. The altitudes of the vineyards get higher and the terrain become more uneven as you travel inland, giving rise to multiple micro-climates. Because of this, the valley is often divided in two sections referred to as Lower Lima and Higher Lima. The Loureiro grape (the only grape that Quinta do Ameal uses) thrives in the granite and schist soils that cover the valley and produce wines that are fine and refreshing. The locals describe the wines as “needle point” because of the racy acidity of these local white wines.

Parents of school students in Years 10-12 have been invited to attend a special Meet USC event at the University of the Sunshine Coast at Sippy Downs on Wednesday 22 March.
This event will include information sessions designed to take the mystery out of preparing for university and give parents practical tips on how to support their children along the journey to tertiary study.
Half-hour sessions between 4-7pm will include guided tours of the University campus and presentations about career planning and making QTAC applications.
There will also be a one-hour presentation about USC’s Headstart program, which enables Year 11 and 12 students to study university subjects while still at high school.
USC staff will be on hand to answer parents’ questions and will introduce visitors to the Parent Lounge – an online space for parents to find everything they need to know about university.
USC Marketing and External Engagement Deputy Director Trisha Roe encouraged those interested in the Meet USC event to register at www.usc.edu.au/meet-usc.
“This is a great opportunity for parents and their children to come on to campus, understand the road to university and to get all your questions answered,” she said.

The Giant Snow Gums Walk in Coolah Tops National Park took me into a world totally new to me.
Here Eucalyptus pauciflora grow tall and straight, not low and blizzard-racked like the sort of snow gum I had in mind, as in the Snowy Mountains.
This open forest has a lower storey of a strange wattle, slender dark trunks bearing no lower branches beneath their oriental umbrellas of bluish-green.
To me their fluid shapes have a rather sinister frozen-in-action look. And are they whispering to each other up there as they lean towards each other?
Or are they receiving instructions to let me pass or not? Perhaps from the gargoyle mouth on the mighty snow gum just ahead?

More than two decades after deregulation reshaped the American airline industry -- and quickly spelled the end for Pan Am and Eastern -- Europe appears to be in the early stages of the same process, which is likely to reduce the number of carriers there. This era of change for both airlines and passengers is being sped up by a severe drop in air travel following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States.
This fall, Sabena Airlines in Belgium stopped flying and Swissair declared bankruptcy; Swissair resumed service after a day in conjunction with CrossAir, an attempt to maintain a Swiss national airline. In Ireland, Aer Lingus is operating under a survival plan, saying it must quickly eliminate nearly a third of its 6,400 jobs.
As much as some European government ministers would like to help out their national carriers, the European Union's single-market rules, which let airlines fly within the union much as domestic carriers can fly anywhere within the United States, prohibit sizable government subsidies.
As a result, airline officials say, Europe's extensive nonstop city-to-city service within the Continent and its direct service to distant former colonies may give way to an American-style hub-and-spoke system requiring many more passengers to change planes to reach their destinations. And as in America, more Europeans may find themselves downsized from full-size jets like the Boeing 737 into regional jets that squeeze 37 to 70 passengers into narrow seats.Continue reading the main story
Investors are so dubious about the health of the major European carriers that all of the stock of the biggest of them, British Airways, is worth less than that of Ryanair, a profitable no-frills carrier operating much like Southwest does in the United States.
In recent weeks, aviation industry executives and government aviation ministers have widely debated the prospect of a European Union that they say soon may have only three or four major international carriers. Air France, British Airways, Lufthansa and perhaps KLM are described by government ministers and airline analysts as the ones most likely to survive.
Loyola de Palacio, the European Commission's director general for transportation, said last month that ''having 14 national flag carriers is not sustainable.'' She said that European aviation needed restructuring long before Sept. 11, but that losses since then made the matter urgent.
Such consolidations would probably mean fewer bargains, though there is a strong tradition of charter service from colder European cities to Mediterranean vacation areas, and the success of Ryanair and other low-fare airlines may help hold fares down.
The collapse of Sabena meant an end to 27 nonstop monopoly routes from Belgium, but since then, a subsidiary, DAT (which stands for Delta Air Transport) has resumed some of them. If lines like Aer Lingus, Alitalia in Italy and Iberia in Spain were to shut down it would mean an end to nonstop jet service between many more pairs of cities.
Jim Faulkner, the North American spokesman for Air France, said that with the consolidation of European airlines, ''you could see Europe developing into a market similar to the United States, with service concentrated at hubs.''
''With Sabena, you could fly Brussels to Madrid,'' Mr. Faulkner said. ''But with hub-and-spoke, you would have to fly Brussels to Paris to get to Madrid.''
The Brussels-Madrid route is now being flown nonstop by DAT using regional jets.
The board of Alitalia hinted in late November that it might drop international flights, saying that it could not sustain its global operations without major changes. Alitalia said it expects to lose money while flying 17 percent fewer passengers in 2002 than this year and it hopes to end 2003 with a paper-thin profit of $25 million.
So it wants to raise $1 billion in new capital in the next few months and nearly the same amount to acquire new airplanes. Whether investors will pump so much cash into a money-losing operation is an open question, especially since under the European Union rules the government cannot use taxpayer money to cover future losses.
The company's restructuring plan is already under fire from its unions because 3,400 of Alitalia's 20,000 employees would be laid off or forced to retire.
Demand for air travel in Europe has grown every year since the end of World War II except 1991, the year of the gulf war, industry reports show. But since Sept. 11, the severe drop in business has led to unsustainable fare cuts. Continental, for example, has a business class round-trip fare between Kennedy or Newark airports and Paris for just $1,200 through Jan. 10, an 84 percent discount from the usual $7,444 fare.
This kind of severe fare cutting is a boon to travelers in the short run. But Kevin Mitchell of the Business Travel Coalition, an American group that promotes lower air fares for corporate travelers, said, ''Airlines on starvation diets eventually run out of cash and close, reorganize or get bought up by stronger competitors.''Continue reading the main story

Brian Wilson fired? No, but Beach Boys will tour without him
This post has been updated. See note below for details.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall backstage in London on Friday night at the Beach Boys’ final performance of their 50th-anniversary reunion tour, which draws to a close on the jarring note that founding member Mike Love has in essence fired the group’s creative leader, Brian Wilson, and two other original members, Alan Jardine and David Marks.
Odds are good that the Wembley Arena show itself will go as swimmingly as the rest of the tour, which found the four surviving original members and longtime Beach Boy Bruce Johnston digging generously and deeply into their vast catalog to serve up as many as 53 songs in a single night.
But since Love announced last week that he and Johnston will return to their pre-reunion version of the Beach Boys—minus Wilson, Jardine, Marks and several members of the Brian Wilson Band who have been key parts of the reunion juggernaut—he unleashed a tidal wave of public and private response. Much of it has been critical of Love, who many years ago won legal control over the Beach Boys name and brand.
Love not only caught his bandmates off guard with his press release stating he would no longer be requiring their services once the reunion tour wrapped, he also inflamed feelings in the Eagles camp when he explained to The Times his reason for dispatching the other original Beach Boys.
“You’ve got to be careful not to get overexposed,” Love said last week when the group members gathered at the Grammy Museum for the opening of a new Beach Boys 50th anniversary exhibit and an evening salute to their musical legacy. “There are promoters who are interested [in more shows by the reunited lineup], but they’ve said, ‘Give it a rest for a year.’ The Eagles found out the hard way when they went out for a second year and wound up selling tickets for $5.”
That won Love no fans among the Eagles, with whom the Beach Boys have toured in the past.
“Two things that we know for certain: Mr. Love will never allow the facts get in the way of his ramblings and he will never miss an opportunity to regurgitate his venom,” the Eagles’ spokesman wrote in a letter to Love’s publicist Jay Jones, which was copied to The Times. “Lest we forget, during his acceptance speech at the Beach Boys’ Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, which was ostensibly about the importance of harmony and how the Beach Boys ‘love all people,’ Mr. Love attacked Paul McCartney and Diana Ross for not being in the room. He then went on to say that ‘Mick Jagger has always been [afraid] to get on the stage with the Beach Boys.”
“Since 1994 when the Eagles reunited, they have performed more than 600 shows worldwide,” the letter continued. “Neither the band nor its reps are aware of any promoter accusing them of being ‘overexposed.’ Regarding Mr. Love’s statement about Eagles tickets being sold for $5, according to our records that did happen on June 21, 1975, when the band performed at Wembley Stadium with the Beach Boys.”
The Eagles letter prompted a quick apology from Love’s publicist.
“Please accept my apologies on behalf of my client if you or your client found Mr. Love’s comments offensive,” Jones wrote, also copying The Times in his letter. “That was certainly not his intent I’m sure, if anything his comments were more flippant than venomous. I’m know my client has nothing but the highest artistic and professional regard for The Eagles both as a group and individually.
“In fact, I do recall him commenting on how much he enjoyed visiting with Joe Walsh backstage at the Grammys this year, as well as their friendship of many years,” Jones wrote. “I do regret to hear your personal contempt for my client. Mr. Love is currently in the United Kingdom preparing for this week’s show at Wembley Arena and Royal Albert Hall and as such I have not had the opportunity to share your expressed concerns with him, but in the interest of a swift response I wanted to offer this letter in a conciliatory spirit.”
Jones noted that Love subsequently sent “care packages” to each of the Eagles, through their management, “out of respect” to the band.
In addition, disappointed fans have launched an online petition urging Love to change his tune, given that Brian Wilson told The Times at the Grammy Museum that he was interested in continuing touring with his old bandmates and wants to make another studio album, given the success of their 2012 reunion effort, “That’s Why God Made the Radio.”
The petition had logged close to 7,000 signatures as of Friday morning. It reads:
“To: Mike Love,
In order to preserve the validity of ‘The Beach Boys’ as a whole, and not as a ‘money saving, stripped down version’ that only contains 1 original member, and 1 member that joined in 1965, we ask you to re-instate the 3 other members to the touring group for your final years performing.
“It’s the right thing to do, and it’s what the fans want!”
Picking up good vibrations, anyone?
Update at 11:11 a.m.: An earlier edition of this post identified Jay Jones as Mike Love’s manager. He is love’s publicist.

Stretch marks are actually a form of scarring, leaving ridges on the skin. They are not a health risk in themselves, but can be very unsightly and therefore distressing for the sufferer.
They are caused by damage to the dermis and are often as a result of the skin being stretched e.g. through pregnancy or weight gain, which pulls and stretches the skin beyond its elasticity. Experts say that 75% of women develop stretch marks to some degree during pregnancy.
Stretch marks first appear as reddish or purple lines, but tend to gradually fade to a lighter shade. The affected areas appear empty and are soft to the touch.
Stretch marks can appear anywhere on the body, but are most likely to appear in places where larger amounts of fat are stored, e.g.: abdomen, breasts, upper arms, back, thighs, hips or buttocks.
Dr Barbara Kubicka works closely with a number of patients offering bespoke stretch mark treatment.
Depending on the site, size and scale of problem, a number of treatments may be offered or combined to treat the condition. For example:
Treatment is highly effective without the cost and safety risk of surgery.

Capital Structure and Firm Performance in the Financial Sector: Evidence from Australia
How does capital structure affect firm performance of Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions (ADIs) using explicitly Australian data? This paper investigates the relationship between capital structure and firm performance of Australian ADIs. Our findings show a significant and robust quadratic relationship between capital structure and firm performance of Australian ADIs. At relatively low levels of leverage an increase in debt leads to increased profit efficiency hence superior bank performance, at relatively high levels of leverage increased debt leads to decreased profit efficiency as well as bank performance. This can most likely be attributed to financial distress outweighing any gains made from managerial performance improving.

“Tiger porn” victim requests human rights review of “extreme pornography” law by Crown Prosecution Service
The law penalising possession of “extreme pornography” faces judicial review by a defendant previously charged with having a video of woman having sex with a tiger.
It was revealed in Court that the tiger was actually a man in a tiger-skin costume.
Yet the former defendant, Andrew Holland, of Wrexham, North Wales, suffered significant disruption to his life and widespread public ridicule.
Solicitor Myles Jackman at Hodge Jones & Allen LLP acting on behalf of Mr Holland, said:
“Mr Holland does not want others to go through the ordeal that he has faced. Mr Holland wants to ensure that others are not prosecuted unnecessarily in the manner that he was. He remains subject to the risk of further criminal charges in the event that he is in possession of similar joke images in the future.”
Consequently Backlash have written to the Prime Minister, and HJA have written to Alison Saunders, the Director of Public Prosecutions asking her to review the implementation of this law: Section 63 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008.
“Something has gone badly wrong when Parliament were told there would be thirty cases a year yet there have been thousands of costly prosecutions” emphasised Backlash Chair Hazel Eraclaeous.
If this review is not forthcoming, the law will be challenged by way of judicial review in the Administrative Court of the High Court.
Jon Fuller, spokesperson for Backlash, said:
“This law threatens anyone with a sex life they want to keep private. It threatens ordinary members of the public who exchange dirty jokes by phone and over the internet. Potentially criminalizing millions of people is a disproportionate consequence of a law not based on harm and with no clear benefit.”
Myles Jackman, Backlash legal adviser & solicitor at HJA: 07791 436 100 – firstname.lastname@example.org

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are finally here and NHL fans are ready for two months of exciting and intense hockey.
During the season (and especially at the trade deadline), NHL general managers made trades designed to strengthen their teams for the playoffs and ultimately increase their club's chances of winning the Stanley Cup.
Now that the dust has settled and we know who has qualified for the playoffs, we can examine the five trades made during the regular season that will have the biggest impact on this year's playoffs.
The rankings are based on a combination of how important the deal was to the team that made it and how likely that team is to make a long run in the playoffs.
Feel free to comment on the list and add any players you feel I may have missed, but please indicate why your choice belongs on the list based on our criteria.

Re: 115 D -TAC encounter with a steel plate at 1 mile
I've had some requests for more info on this cartridge so I thought I would add this to the post
so here it is....
The .243WSSM Rouge is a .243 Winchester Super Short Magnum improved 37 degrees with .009 body taper. Then the necks are turned to .270 for .272 reamer,then it is throated for 115-D-TAC's.
I'm using Winchester brass but I believe Federal also offers brass. My case prep involves sorting out cases by weight and keeping everything within 1 gr., reaming inside flash hole, reaming primer pocket,turning necks and then anealing neck and shoulder
I have not messed around with many loads.
Here is the load I am using:
Federal GM 210 primer
47 grs.of reloader 22
115 D-TAC's .005 into lands
muzzle velocity 3175 fps.
reloading dies...I'm using Hornady custom dimention .243WSSM seating die and a bushing neck die made with the same reamer as the chamber was cut with and accepts Redding bushings.
As far as B.C of the bullet my program didn't have the 115 D-TAC's so I entered the B.C of the 115 Berger which is .597 and it followed all the way out to 1 mile so the B.C is at least that of what Sierra states.Visable pressure basically non-existant,primers maybe starting to flatten by the edges,but is almost unnoticable
The barrel is a Broughton 5C 1 in 7 twist and 31" in length. I believe you would see little to nothing in velocity drop at 28". The barrel is long enough to reset and rechamber twice. As far as accuracy I am consistantly shooting .330 MOA out to 600 yds. off the bi-pod (in good conditions)and have shot .330MOA out to 1040 yds. So this cartridge is showing serious promise, I just wish there was better brass available.
P.S froma 600 yd zero there is 12.5 MOA up to 1000
without God their is no hope for this country

To start the third millennium in a spectacular fashion Rutahsa Adventures is organizing a double-barreled trip across two Andean nations, Bolivia and Peru, beginning in late February 2001. Though the worldwide fame of Peru's amazing Inca ruins has long overshadowed Bolivia's attractions, both nations offer awe-inspiring scenery and fascinating cultures, past and present, in addition to archeological wonders. Rutahsa's adventure will begin in lesser-known Bolivia, amply prove the worth of that country as a travel destination, then cross Lake Titicaca to enter Peru headed for the heart of the Inca Empire.
For travelers with ample time, this excursion will be a wonderful opportunity to get to know two spectacular countries. However, for travelers with tighter time constraints, this trip will be set up so that you can choose to participate in portions of the excursion-- explore Bolivia, or explore Peru. Each trip segment will be priced separately, and a full excursion price will be offered at a savings. The Peru segment will also feature an Inca Trail trek option.
The excursion starting date, February 22, 2001 for the Bolivian portion of the trip, is timed precisely to allow us to participate in the famous Oruro Carnival.
THE BOLIVIAN ADVENTURES BEGIN...
DAY 1, Thursday, 2/22: Morning: Land in La Paz, at one of the world's highest airports, over 4050 m (13,300 feet) above sea level. During the transfer from the airport to our hotel we drop about 1500 feet, and get our first views of La Paz, sprawling throughout a valley below the plateau on which we landed, with snow-crowned Illimani towering on the distant skyline. We will proceed directly to the Residencial Rosario, a pleasant 3-star hotel with a good restaurant, to rest, sip some coca tea, and begin to acclimate to the altitude. It is highly advisable to take it easy upon arrival to avoid soroche, altitude sickness.
Afternoon: La Paz, population approaching a million, is the de facto capital of Bolivia, which is to say that although the much smaller city of Sucre to the south is the legal capital of the republic, most of the government offices are located here in La Paz, and most government business is done here. We will get oriented in La Paz by visiting a small park overlooking much of the city, visit the Plaza Murillo with its government palaces and cathedral, and then set out on foot to explore the incredible market complex near our hotel. Here block after block of shops, booths, and street vendors offer an amazing and bewildering array of goods ranging from wonderful woven goods of alpaca and llama wool, musical instruments, antiques, foodstuffs, hardware, and all the items a well-supplied brujo (witch doctor) might need, including herbs, potions, and dried llama fetuses. You can even buy fake fossils from street vendors.
For supper we'll visit a peña, where Andean musicians sing and play folksongs featuring panpipes, charango, quena and other traditional instruments. This special welcome supper and cultural experience is included in the tour cost.
DAY 2, Friday, 2/23: In the morning we'll drive about an hour north to the impressive pre-Incan ruins of Tiahuanaco. This site is famous for its monolithic gateways and giant idols. Tiahuanaco was the capital of what some archeologists believe to have been the longest surviving empire of all the precolumbian Andean civilizations, flourishing for over a thousand years. Later Inca rulers are said to have visited Tiahuanaco and been inspired by its monumental ruins.
Afternoon: Free time to continue exploring the amazing and seemingly endless market area near our hotel.
DAY 3, Saturday, 2/24: We'll board up early this morning and head south to Oruro, about a three-hour ride across the windswept altiplano. Founded as a mining town in the 16th century, Oruro later became the main center of the Bolivian railway system, which we'll enjoy later. But today we have come to take part in the Oruro Carnival, the most spectacular Bolivian festival, and one that has not yet been greatly altered by tourism. Our hotel will be the Su Majestad Palace, just three blocks from the Plaza 10 de Febrero and nearby to various sites of interest.
Carnival begins early with La Entrada, a spectacular entry procession starting at 7 AM and passing along a 5-km route. Over 50 companies of dancers perform in elaborate costumes noteworthy for their grotesque masks. The dances represent Aymara folk legends of both precolumbian and post-conquest origins and are strongly related to the hard lives of the Indian miners. La Entrada will be well underway by the time we arrive, but not to worry, the procession doesn't end before afternoon, and it is just the beginning of a week of revelry and abandon. Tonight there will be lots of celebrating, live music, dancing, and happy inebriation. Foreigners are welcome to join in, but of course, some discretion is advised.
DAY 4, Sunday, 2/25: Today is the day of the Gran Corso del Carnaval, another spectacular display. And Oruro is a town full of important colonial architecture and museums, including an underground mining museum accessed from the back of a colonial church. Old train buffs may want to explore the yards near the station to see what's there. We shouldn't lack for interesting things to do today. And meanwhile, the carnival continues!
DAY 5, Monday, 2/26: Possibly some of our group will want to sleep late this morning, depending on how late they partied last night. Perhaps they can if street noise isn't too much. But around mid-morning we board a passenger train that will carry us across a bleak but impressive landscape featuring plains, mountain ranges, playa lakes, mirages, mining towns, herds of alpaca and llama, and scattered villages. The train service is excellent, with comfortable reserved seats, dining service, and other amenities. It is a real pleasure to rock along with the fascinating landscape gliding by. A short distance from the city of Uyuni the rail line parallels the great dried up lake bed of the Salar de Uyuni, some 10,582 sq km (4085 sq mi) of snow-white salt in the dry season, and the world's largest mirror when covered with a thin layer of water in the wet season. Vicuña, the smallest of the four Andean cameloids are commonly seen along the margins of the salar, and occasionally flocks of pink flamingoes flap slowly by over the erstwhile lake.
Our hotel for the next two nights is the amazing Palacio de Sal situated on the salar itself, and built entirely of rock salt quarried directly from the salar! Inside the Salt Palace everything is made of salt. The only exceptions: mattresses (thank goodness!), toilets (double thank goodness!!), stove and pool table. Truly an amazing, imaginative and unforgettable hotel.
DAY 6, Tuesday, 2/27: During the dry season the salar is a blinding expanse of white stretching to distant mountain ranges. When dry it is an easy matter to drive at highway speeds across the salt flats to cactus-covered Isla Pescado. Once an isolated island of basalt far from the shores of a vast lake, Isla Pescado is home to several endemic species of cacti, a variety of birds, and a colony of vizcachas (a large rabbit-like animal with a tail like a squirrel). During portions of the wet season, rains flood the salar and Isla Pescado becomes a real island again. Incredible as it sounds, this does not always prevent visits to the island: if the water is shallow, intrepid drivers with 4WD vehicles still cross the 80 km of salar to bring visitors to the island. Imagine driving for miles across a gigantic mirror surface-- the sky and clouds appearing both above and below, approaching the island which both projects above and hangs below the horizon. It is precisely in hopes of experiencing this mind-boggling scene that Rutahsa Adventures has scheduled this trip in February when rains are possible.
DAY 7, Wednesday, 2/28: After a breakfast in the Salt Palace we board our 4WD vehicles and head out on an adventurous gravel road across a series of Andean ranges to reach fabled Potosí. Our route takes us through the old mining town of Pulacayo where, amazingly enough, there is a railroad graveyard that features a train held up by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Somewhere along the route we'll stop for photos and perhaps a snack. Then, if none of the river crossings delays us, we'll reach the famous mining city of Potosí in time for a late lunch at the Restaurante San Marcos, an old mine mill converted into a restaurant cum mining museum. Quite a place! Our hotel will be the Hostal Colonial.
DAY 8, Thursday, 3/1: The coat of arms of Potosí bears the legend "I am rich Potosí, the treasure of the world, the king of mountains, the envy of kings." According to legend, silver was discovered at Potosí in 1544 by one Diego Huallpa who had climbed a mountain in search of lost llamas. The Spaniards were quick to investigate rumors of Indians with silver, took possession of the mountain peak, soon to become known as Cerro Rico ("Rich Mountain"), and Potosí was founded in 1545. Within 25 years it was the largest city in the New World, with a population of 125,000. Riches poured out of the mountain into Spanish coffers, changing the financial structure of Europe. Potosí itself was awash in wealth; Spanish aristocrats in Potosí built themselves palaces, and dozens of baroque churches. But all this came at a terrible toll of human misery, as the mines were operated by enslaved Indians who died by the thousands in the bowels of the mountain.
This morning, after fortifying ourselves with a hearty breakfast including some strong coffee or hot chocolate, we'll head for Cerro Rico, the mountain that made Potosí. This peak, now stripped barren and plundered inside and out, is still being worked by hundreds of miners, and we will find out what it's all about by going underground into the Candelaria Mine. First, a necessary stop is at a market to buy appropriate gifts for the miners and for El Tio: bags of coca leaves, strong black cigarettes, perhaps some rum, or you could even buy dynamite and blasting caps, which no doubt the miners would truly appreciate, but let's not tempt fate. At the adit we will be issued carbide lamps and hard hats, perhaps a slicker, and then duck our heads as we head into the dark underworld. Within the drifts we'll visit with miners working veins with hand tools, under conditions that are very 19th century by modern mining standards, but which are still a far cry from the awful circumstances endured by the Indian slaves in colonial times.
Each of the many mines under Cerro Rico has a shrine to El Tio, the miner's god of the underworld, who must be placated if his mineral wealth is to be extracted and the miner to return safely to the world of sunlight above. We will save a portion of our gifts of coca and cigarettes to leave before the statue of El Tio as we exit the mine.
Back again in sunshine and fresh air, we'll ponder the toil we witnessed underground as we take our lunch and get ready for an afternoon tour of the city.
Wending our way through narrow streets overhung by balconied colonial homes we will visit the Casa de la Moneda (colonial mint), the Convento de Santa Teresa, with its museum, and the San Francisco Convent for the best rooftop view of Potosí. One of the interesting things to note as you pass along the streets is the variety of highly distinctive men's hat styles affected by the cholas (citified Indian women). Overnight again in the Hostal Colonial.
DAY 9, Friday, 3/2: Morning: Free time to stroll (as best as low country gringos can stroll at nearly 4000 m!) about the city, enjoy the colonial ambiance, visit the market area, or even sleep in for a change.
In the afternoon we leave Potosí behind, headed for beautiful Sucre, the legal capital. Although there's lots of mountain scenery to pass through, it's an easy three-hour drive over one of Bolivia's best highways. We'll be there in time to stop at a turn-of-the-century mansion called Castillo de la Glorieta. This amazing home was built by a wealthy Bolivian merchant to show his fellow countrymen what fine European architecture was all about, which he did by using as many styles as possible in a single building!
Our home for the next two nights is the very pleasant four-star Hostal Su Merced, within easy walking distance of the central plaza.
DAY 10, Saturday, 3/3: Today will be a relaxing all-day stay in Sucre. Founded in 1538 as La Plata, the city was renamed in 1825 in honor of General Sucre, the first president of the new Republic of Bolivia (which itself was named in honor of Simón Bolívar, the Great Liberator). But Sucre is popularly called La Ciudad Blanca, or "The White City" due to the tradition of whitewashing all the buildings in central Sucre. It is generally agreed that Sucre is Bolivia's most beautiful city, with a relaxing atmosphere, and just a very pleasant place to be.
In addition to enjoying the colonial charms of Sucre, along with its marketplace, museums and shops, we will have a special geologic treat here: a huge quarry on the outskirts of the city where thousands of Cretaceous-age dinosaur tracks march up the near-vertical beds exposed in the quarry walls.
DAY 11, Sunday, 3/4: Those who have fallen under the spell of Sucre can explore the central portion of the city afoot, easy walking from our hotel. Those who are willing to board our bus for a few more kilometers can make a day trip to the village of Tarabuco where local Quechua people still wear traditional costume of multi-colored ponchos, chuspas (woven bags for carrying coca leaves), helmet-like headgear for the men, and elaborate axsu (overskirts) for the women. Sunday is market day and local color should be great.
This afternoon we fly back to La Paz at 5 PM (flight ticket is included in the cost of the excursion). If the weather is favorable we'll be treated to some jaw-dropping Andean scenery below. Our final night in La Paz will be at our old familiar haunt, Residencial Rosario. And another supper at a peña might be in order.
Travelers who are participating in the Peru segment of the trip only will arrive in La Paz today also, and will be awaiting us at the Rosario.
DAY 12, Monday, 3/5: Copacabana is our goal and Lake Titicaca our very special thrill today. We take a chartered bus north from La Paz to a small port town to board the modern catamaran that will transport us in style across the beautiful and grand lake to Copacabana. You can watch the scenery glide by from a sun deck atop the vessel, or from within the main salon through picture windows while sipping a cocktail. A fine lunch will be served during the cruise. Titicaca, famous as the world's highest regularly navigated lake at 3856 m (12,651 ft), is stunning, and you will be amazed at the extent of ancient agricultural terracing evident on the hillsides all around the lake.
Before reaching Copacabana we will dock at the Isla del Sol (Island of the Sun), the legendary birthplace of Manco Capac, the first Inca, and his sister-consort Mama Ocllo. Here we will see Inca stonework at a sacred spring, visit a very well done visitor's complex owned by the same company that operates the catamaran. The complex features an excellent small museum, crafts and dance demonstrations, and a chance to see llamas, alpacas and vicuñas up close. Most importantly, and dramatically, an Aymara shaman will ceremoniously bless us to ensure that those who are returning to the U.S. at the end of the Bolivia segment have a smooth trip home, and that those of us who are continuing on to Peru will have a totally successful excursion.
After leaving Isla del Sol we sail on to Copacabana. Here we part ways with our fellow travelers who are participating in the Bolivia trip only. They will return to La Paz for a final night at the Rosario, and fly back home on Tuesday.
Return to beginning of website.
DAY 12, Monday, 3/5, continued: Travelers continuing on to Peru will overnight in Copacabana at the very modern and ecologically designed Hostal Rosario del Lago. Climbing the steps to Cerro Calvario at dusk provides wonderful sunset vistas across Lake Titicaca and an enchanting view of Copacabana in the rosy glow of twilight, looking rather like an impressionist painting.
DAY 13, Tuesday, 3/6: Copacabana is more than just a charming lakeside resort town. It is the site of Bolivia's most important religious shrine, an impressive Moorish-style cathedral built in 1610-1620. Many miracles have been attributed to the Dark Virgin of Candelaria or Copacabana, a black wooden statue of Mary housed in this great church. Although many pilgrimages are made to Copacabana for many reasons, one of the more unusual practices is for the owners of newly purchased automobiles to bring their vehicles here to be blessed by a priest and then showered with champagne.
From Copacabana we will continue north a few kilometers to cross the border into neighboring Peru and then drive on up the west side of Lake Titicaca to the Peruvian port town of Puno to spend our first night in Peru in the Hotel Sillustani. En route we'll have great vistas of the lake, and we'll visit the interesting remains of an Incan fertility temple at Chucuito, as well as the colonial churches of Pomata and Juli.
DAY 14, Wednesday, 3/7: In the morning we will visit some of the historic ships of Lake Titicaca, including the SS Yavari (on the left in the photo). The Yavari was built in England in some 2500 pieces that were packed up and over the Andes, assembled, and launched on Titicaca in 1867! Originally steam-powered (designed to burn llama dung!), she was converted to semi-diesel in 1913. She is now being restored and we will go aboard. Lying next to the Yavari is the SS Ollanta, originally a plush passenger steamer launched on the lake in the 1930s; today she belongs to the Peruvian Navy.
After our lesson in ship history we will boat out to the floating islands inhabited by the Uros people. This small group of indigenous people live on artificial islands made of floating mats of totora reeds. The community even has its own schools on one of the islands. As a part of our glimpse of this amazing living space and lifestyle, we will see --and perhaps take a ride on-- the traditional reed boats. Be sure to carry some fresh fruits with you to give the Uros children-- a real treat for them.
After lunch in Puno we will drive to the eerie archeological site of Sillustani. Here a pre-Incan society built impressive stone funerary towers known as chullpas on a mesa overlooking an other-worldly landscape. Second night in the Hotel Sillustani in Puno.
DAY 15, Thursday, 3/8: Today we board another train to head northwest towards Cusco. The rails carry us along the northern shore of Lake Titicaca for a farewell vista, then to Juliaca, and on up through a high Andean valley, to cross a divide and start down the Cusco side. Should see herds of llamas and alpacas en route. We'll detrain at the city of Sicuani, where we'll overnight at the Albergue Sicuani, a little hostal that is fairly basic, but clean and nice.
DAY 16, Friday, 3/9: After breakfast we board our comfortable private bus and head for a place seldom seen by tourists, and which will surely prove one of the most memorable of many memorable experiences on our trip: the last authentic Inca suspension bridge. BTW, getting there is at least half the fun as our road winds through the high country, passing Quechua villages, patchworks of wheat and potatoes, and flocks of sheep and llamas. We can expect some friendly encounters and cultural exchanges along the way, such as this Quechua girl sharing delicious freshly boiled papas with a group of Rutahsa Adventurers.
The suspension bridge, known as a keshwa chaca, is made of straw and must be renewed every year. The rebuilding is a community project for three days every January. Made known to the outside world by explorer/author Loren McIntyre (see McIntyre's fascinating article in the Dec. 1973 issue of National Geographic) this bridge is believed to be the last remaining Inca straw suspension bridge that has been continuously rebuilt and used since Inca times. At this season it should be in good condition and crossable for those brave enough to trust a straw span 60 feet above the swift Apurimac River.
After a picnic lunch by the bridge and dramatic river gorge, we head on north to Cusco. If time permits, we will stop at the archeological sites of Andahuaylillas and Piquillacta en route. In Cusco our hotel with be the Hotel Picoaga, which occupies a 16th-century Spaniard's mansion. To preview our digs in Cusco, visit the Picoaga's website, then use your "back" button to return to this trip description: Hotel Picoaga.
DAY 17, Saturday, 3/10: Our morning starts with a very short bus ride up into the hills above Cusco to visit the four nearby ruins of Tambomachay (the Bath of the Inca), Puca Pucara (the Red Fortress), Qenco (an extremely weird huaca or sacred place), and finally the mighty Sacsahuaman fortress overlooking Cusco. This amazing work is built of truly cyclopean stones fitted together with inexplicable precision. Truly, it is one of the wonders of the world!
Our next pleasant task is getting acquainted with Cusco, the "Navel of the World", seat of the Inca Empire. We'll descend from the fortress back to the city for lunch, then set out to explore. The Plaza de Armas (just four short blocks from our hotel), the Cathedral, the Temple of the Sun, and many other important sites are on our afternoon walking tour. You will see the world-famous "Twelve Cornered Stone" and marvel at original Inca walls and doorways. The stonework lives up to and exceeds everyone's expectations--it is absolutely marvelous.
DAY 18, Sunday, 3/11: Optional activities today: Those who have fallen in love with Cusco can have a free day to explore this city on their own. Yesterday's get acquainted tour just scratched the surface. Those who want to see more of the Peruvian countryside and a smaller Quechua town will arise early to travel to Paucartambo, some 115 kilometers (4 hours) from Cusco, over a somewhat exciting mountain road that is open to two-way traffic only on Sundays! Those who have elected to hike the Inca Trail will begin their four-day trek today (see separate Inca trail itinerary below).
DAY 19, Monday, 3/12: We leave Cusco today headed for the Sacred Valley, by way of Chinchero, where there is an important colonial church with wonderful frescoes, built atop the ruins of an Inca fort or palace. The drive to Chinchero is across a beautiful patchwork agricultural panorama, with snow-capped Andean peaks as a backdrop.
From the Chinchero we travel on to the mysterious Inca site known as Moray. Here, in giant natural sinkholes, the Inca built a series of terraces believed by some archeologists to have served as an agricultural experimental station, taking advantage of microclimates provided by different elevations in the sinkholes. Today the site is favored by seekers of the mystic who come here to meditate. We can meditate too as we eat our picnic lunch.
Not far from Moray we will start a hike of a couple of miles (downhill!) to the salinas where hot salt water springs have been tapped since precolumbian times for the manufacture of salt. This ancient practice continues today and the multitudinous evaporation ponds are an amazing sight to behold. Our bus will pick us up here and take us to the Posada del Inca, a wonderful hotel occupying the site of a former monastery, and located right in the heart of the Sacred Valley. To see what the Posada del Inca is like, you can visit their website (but don't fail to hit your "back" button to return to this trip description!): Posada del Inca.
DAY 20, Tuesday, 3/13: In the morning we will explore the Inca citadel of Pisac, with its stupendous andenes (agricultural terraces) still in use today, its fortified dwelling areas and the remains of its temple complex. The site sprawls along a steep narrow ridge and hiking the interconnecting trails, steps and tunnels from one sector to another will convince you of one thing: the Inca people did not sleepwalk!
After lunch we will drive down the Sacred Valley to another fortress-temple, Ollantaytambo. This site was actually still under construction when the Conquistadors arrived, and today's ruins preserve evidence of the construction techniques. In addition to the impressive ruins, the living town of Ollantaytambo is very special: it retains its original Inca civic planning layout of canchas, a grid of narrow cobbled streets separating walled blocks with interior courts. We will visit a home in one of the canchas to get a glimpse of Quechua homelife, replete with the household guinea pigs underfoot. Our overnight will be at the Posada del Inca again. Ollantaytambo is also a good place to see traditional Andean costume still being worn, and hand-loomed ponchos and other textiles may be purchased here.
DAY 21, Wednesday, 3/14: This morning we board the narrow gauge train that will trundle us down the Urubamba River gorge to Machu Picchu, the legendary "Lost City of the Incas", one of the world's premier archeological sites, one of those exceedingly rare places where the works of nature and man combine to create a place of transcendental mystic beauty. Our train arrives in the town of Aguas Calientes by mid-morning, and after checking into the Hotel Machu Picchu it's up the zig-zag road to the sacred citadel for a guided introduction to the site.
The Inca Trail trekkers will reach Machu Picchu this afternoon to rejoin our group, but not until well after the arrival of their fleet-footed native porters.
DAYS 22 & 23, Thursday and Friday, 3/15 & 16: Two full days at Machu Picchu! In addition to getting to know the intricacies of Machu Picchu proper-- its residential areas, its fountains, temples, amazing agricultural terraces, and a thousand intriguing nooks and crannies, there are numerous hikes that lead to wonderful places: the climb up Huayna Picchu for a breath-taking (literally) view of Machu Picchu far below; a less strenuous trail to the Inca drawbridge; a hike along part of the famed Inca Trail to the Inti-Punku ("Sun Gate"); a long hike down to the Temple of the Moon; or even a hike up to Putukusi peak above Aguas Calientes for a vista of Machu Picchu only a few travelers ever see. Bird watchers may want to stroll along the railroad paralleling the river to look for cock-of-the-rocks and other exotic feathered friends.
On Friday afternoon we will return to Cusco by train and take up our lodgings at the Hotel Picoaga once again.
DAY 24, Saturday, 3/17: Fly from Cusco to Lima, arriving mid-morning (flight ticket is included in the cost of the excursion). We'll check into the Hotel Antigua (a converted mansion in the very pleasant suburb of Miraflores); for a preview of our hotel, click here: Hotel Antigua, but don't forget to use your "back" button to return to this itinerary.
After lunch, we go on a Lima city tour. Our tour of Peru's capital city climaxes with the world-renowned Gold Museum, a private collection of precolumbian artifacts that includes much more than vast holdings of gold: ceramics, textiles, war implements, and more. Admission to the Gold Museum also includes admission to a large arms collection, amazing in its own right.
DAY 25, Sunday, 3/18: Time to board your return flight home, carrying a million memories of unforgettable wonders seen, new friends made, and the determination to return someday to Bolivia and Peru.

Maple syrup is Michigan’s “liquid gold.” It takes 40 gallons of sap from sugar maples to boil down to 1 gallon of syrup. Michigan ranks in the Top 10 in Maple Syrup Production in the United States. Check our favorite ways to incorporate maple syrup into our diets here.
1) Coffee Flavor & Sweetener
Try is in your coffee! Add a little maple to your favorite locally roasted pour over or taste it in specialty drinks like the Café Canadian from our friends at Superior Café. Their drink is similar to an Americano, with real maple syrup mixed with the espresso and the addition of steamed whipped cream on top.
Herman Hills Sugarbush, our new partners in the Western UP, not only create delicious varieties of syrup, they also produce a maple granola made with dried Traverse City Cherries! Check out their shop to give it a try.
3) Savory Sauces
Michigan Maple Farms shares one of their favorite recipes: Maple Balsamic Glaze Recipe. We are picturing it drizzled over pork ribs from your favorite farmer at a BBQ this summer.
4) Salad Dressings
Seeds and Spores Family Farm, already with a hoop house full of greens, suggests using the sweet syrup to create a well balanced salad dressing. Try: Organic balsamic vinegar, organic olive oil, maple syrup, salt, pepper and whatever fresh herbs you can get your hands on!
5) Maple Water
If you are part of the maple tapping process, you have access to maple water. Maple water, or sap, comes out of the trees is later boiled down to make syrup. It’s sweet and naturally filtered by the maple trees. Herman Hill’s Sugarbush uses the water at home in everything from making their morning coffee to their latest batch of homebrewed kombucha.
Try adding maple syrup into your favorite old fashioned cocktail rather than white sugar. Maple is making more and more appearances on the cocktail menus and Michiganders are not complaining.
7) Side Dishes & Change Ups
Maybe you’ve never fathomed the implications of adding two tablespoons maple syrup to cornmeal stables like polenta or grits, but I promise it will open up a whole new world. What about a potato salad with the addition of curry powder, cumin and a drizzle of maple syrup? Creativity is key.
8) Ice Cream & Yogurt
Drizzle a little maple syrup over your favorite vanilla ice cream or yogurt for a sweet treat.
9) Dipping Sauce
Try out this delicious dipping sauce with your next fish dish. Seeds & Spores Farm shares their recipe: Simmer maple syrup, organic olive oil, organic tamari, and garlic together until slightly thickened.
From chicken curry to my award winning chili, I always add a few tablespoons of maple syrup to help balance out my soups and give it a hint of woody flavor.
Alex Palzewicz is the UP Local Food Coordinator for Taste the Local Difference. She was inspired to write this article after a few visits to Herman Hills Sugarbush where she was able to see the maple process up close!

- Publisher's Summary
- As countries across Asia continue to rise and become more assertive global powers, the role that Higher Education has played, and continues to play, in this process is an issue of growing pertinence. Furthermore, understanding the relationship between Europe and Asia fostered by historical and contemporary knowledge transfer, including Higher Education, is crucial to analysing and encouraging the progress of both regional integration and inter-regional cooperation. With a specific focus on international Higher Education, European Studies in Asia investigates knowledge transfer and channels of learning between Europe and Asia from historical, contemporary and teaching perspectives. The book examines a selection of significant historical precedents of intellectual dialogue between the two regions and, in turn, explores contemporary cross-regional discourses both inside and outside of the official frameworks of the European Union (EU) and the Asia--Europe Meetings (ASEM). Drawing on extensive case studies based on many of his own teaching experiences, Georg Wiessala addresses key questions, such as the nature and construction of the European Studies in Asia curriculum; aspects of 'values', co-constructed learning and adult pedagogy in the discipline of European Studies in Asia; the politics of Asian host cultures, the 'internationalization' of Asian Higher Education and the experiences and expectations of tertiary sector students of this subject in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. In doing so, the author articulates a range of outcomes for the further development of Higher Education cooperation agendas between Asia and Europe, in the discipline of European Studies, and in related fields such as International Relations. This case study-led book makes an original and novel contribution to our understanding of European Studies in Asia. As such, it will be of great interest to students and scholars of Asian Education, Comparative Education, European Studies and International Relations.

Why Did We Give JPMorgan Months To Reveal They Were Hacked?
Did you know that banks are not required to report data breaches unless it results in a financial loss to customers?
The intrusion also highlights a possible gap in United States regulations. Banks are not required to report data breaches and online intrusions unless the incident is deemed to have resulted in a financial loss to customers. Breach notification laws differ by state, but most laws require only that companies disclose a breach if customer names were stolen in conjunction with other information like a credit card, Social Security number or driver’s license number.
In some states, companies can wait up to a month to inform customers of a breach. Other state laws are more vague.
Lots of people have read that the JPMorgan Chase data intrusion started in June and went until mid-August. Maybe you read some of the technical publications that covered it like ARSTechnica, The long game: How hackers spent months pulling bank data from JPMorgan or maybe some business press back then JPMorgan Hackers Came In the Front Door — in June. Two Months of Mayhem (warning video autostart)
Now does it bother anyone else that maybe some of the 83 million customers might have wanted to have known sooner than October 3? Do you want to bet that a lot of really big customers did find out in advance? Anyone bother to ask them? Did they stay or quietly move their accounts? Or were they informed that nine other financial institution were hacked and that the public doesn’t know because the Treasury is afraid of a financial meltdown?
As the favorite, too big to fail bank, the US Government was there to help JPMorgan Chase as much as possible. I guess they felt guilty, what with forcing them to pay that big fine for their earlier massive fraud and asking them help with US imposed sanction on Russia.
What is interesting to me is that I’ve read about 30 stories now about the data breach and most are still treating JPMorgan Chase with kid gloves. Or downplaying the seriousness of this when asking questions. One story asked people on the street, and determined it’s a boring story and nobody cares.
Maybe all my questions have been asked and answered and I’m just slow. These questions might seem dumb or “out of the loop” by the savvy business press, but I’m just your average consumer Vulcan so I wrote the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and asked a few questions:
- Do you have any comment about JPMorgan Chase’s announcement of the data breach from last June that was revealed more fully in October?
- What are your thoughts about their response, specifically their decision to tell people they don’t have to change passwords and that they aren’t offering credit monitoring?
- If there aren’t any requirements that they had to reveal the info sooner, why did they reveal it now? Was it only the SEC requirements that forced them? Different states have different laws about disclosure, did they violate any of these laws?
The burden of follow up and spot fraud was placed on the consumer following Chase’s failure to keep its network secure.
- Are there any regulations that they are violating here? Is anyone proposing new laws to protect the consumer in this case?
- During other data breeches the institution that failed offered services to protect the consumer for fraud. JPMorgan Chase has not. They say they cover credit card losses, but in this case the main concern is consumer fraud since personal information was obtained because of their failure.
What were the reasons JPMorgan gave the government that they shouldn’t be required to help consumers deal with possible fraud in the months or years to come?
- Was the reason JP Morgan wasn’t required to provide greater protection because The US government determined the attack was state-sponsored?
- If it is state-sponsored and that is why JPMorgan isn’t required to protect consumers, will the government step in?
- Are we at cyber war with Russia? Who can I talk to about this?
The media is still absorbing this story. Fox is running, “What can you to protect yourself?” stories. Maybe we will start seeing a deeper analysis of this soon, but only in the approved channels of inquiry. If it goes too far I’m guessing the “National Security” reasons will be invoked.
During the upcoming media, PR blitz I expect this attack on JPMorgan Chase will morph into “It’s your patriotic duty to stick with this bank or the
terrorists Russians win.” Fox News loves wars, I’m guessing that the “We are at Cyberwar with Russia!” story to start soon. I hear they will have some nice theme music.
Dimon’s political clout will protect him. Too bad the CEO of Target didn’t have that, he was forced to resign with the hack happened on his watch. Dimon will probably get a raise, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Like this guy.

Over the past few years we have been bombarded with publicity telling us to do more exercise in order to reduce our risk of developing heart disease. Also, as commuter traffic increases and petrol prices rise, workers are constantly looking for quicker, cheaper and greener ways of travelling short distances. As a result of this, bicycle sales have risen exponentially. However, as the popularity of cycling increases, so do the fears that spending hours in the saddle every day may not be as beneficial as first thought. For many years now reports in the literature have suggested that exercise in general, and cycling specifically, may actually increase an individual's risk of developing problems in the male reproductive system. In this report I will review the evidence available in the literature, paying special attention to cycling and the risks of developing testicular cancer, secondary impotence and, most importantly, the effects on male fertility.

Report: UNC must pay more attention to China
China may have taken a huge bite out of North Carolina’s manufacturing sector in the past 15 years, but today the world’s most populous country is paving tens of thousands of miles of roads, trying to solve complex water quality challenges and talking on hundreds of millions of cell phones — and the University of North Carolina needs to do more to help the state take advantage of those and other economic opportunities.
That’s the conclusion of a report scheduled to be presented at the Sept. 14 meeting of the UNC Board of Governors, urging all 16 campuses to look for ways to offer more China-related language, history and politics classes; strengthen partnerships with schools in China; engage in more cooperative research; and recruit more Chinese students.
Doing so would result in graduates who are more marketable in the global economy, add scholarly resources to the university system and garner new contract and investment opportunities for the state’s businesses.
“If we pass on this opportunity, we dramatically decrease our ability to learn from, buy and sell from, and problem-solve with 20 percent of the world’s population,” the report says.
Currently, the report finds varying levels of engagement with China across the system. Only one campus, UNC-Chapel Hill, offers a major in the Chinese language, while six campuses offer no Chinese language course at all. Winston-Salem State, N.C. A&T and UNC-School of the Arts are all among those without Chinese language instruction, while UNC-Greensboro offers a half-dozen courses.
Chinese students are coming to UNC schools in greater numbers, but more needs to be done to recruit them, especially to lesser-known campuses given the focus Chinese families place on rankings and ratings when choosing a school, the report says. UNCG is among the campuses that have more than doubled the number of Chinese students on its campus between 2007 and 2011, and the report highlighted the campus’ Chinese Students Association as an effective tool for welcoming students and generating positive word-of-mouth reviews in their home country.

So Far So Good
By Illinois owner on
Vehicle2004 Volkswagen Phaeton V8 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 6A)
ReviewSignificantly depreciated value / price of this '04 car made it a great value. Solid feel with incredible performance in a "better than limo" luxury experience. So many bells and whistles that it takes days to train self on all functions. Three complaints: navigation system is antiquated, complex and only provides minimal information and tire pressure sensors are very sensitive and won't read correctly in very cold conditions and finally, cannot turn off seat-belt tone which is bothersome if you just want to sit and wait for someone without being buckled up.
Best FeaturesStyling is great, understated and elegant. Only educated drivers know what you're driving.
Worst FeaturesImprove navigation, add DVD capability, and improve economy / gas mileage.

Please help with the following problem found in the textbook: Business Law: The Ethical, Global, and E-Commerce Environment 13th edition written by Jane Mallor, A. James Barnes, Thomas Bowers, and Arlen W. Langvardt (2007). Please answer questions in detail.
Enron employee Sherron Watkins received considerable praise from the public, governmental officials, and media commentators when she went public in 2002 with her concerns about certain accounting and other business practices of her employer. These alleged practices caused Enron and high level executives of the firm to undergo considerable legal scrutiny in the civil and criminal arenas.
In deciding to become a whistleblower, Sherron Watkins no doubt was motivated by what she regarded as a moral obligation. The decision she made was more highly publicized than most decisions of that nature, but was otherwise of a type that many employees have faced and will continue to face. You may be among those persons at some point in your career. Various questions, including the ones set for the below, may therefore be worth pondering. As you do so, you may find it useful to consider the perspectives afforded by the ethical theories discussed in Chapter 4.
Guidelines for Ethical Decision Making Chapter 4.
1. What FACTS impact my decision?
2. What are the ALTERNATIVES?
3. Who are the STAKEHOLDERS?
4. How do the alternatives impact SOCIETY AS A WHOLE?
5. How do the alternatives impact MY BUSINESS FIRM?
6. How do the alternatives impact ME, THE DECISION MAKER?
7. What are the ETHICS of each alternative?
8. What are the PRACTICAL CONSTRAINTS of each alternative?
9. What COURSE OF ACTION should be taken and how do we IMPLEMENT ...
Whistleblowing is discussed very comprehensively in this explanation..

For her fifth album, Joss Stone severs ties from her past couple of records and trims the fat. She recorded the album in less than a week in Nashville with Eurythmics' Dave Stewart. She started her own label. She even titled the 12-song project LP1. It's not necessarily a back-to-basics move for the British singer (she's 24 years old, how far back can she go?), but it is her most soulful and unfussy album since her 2003 debut. Stone states her purpose on the opening "Newborn": "Let's treat this day like a newborn baby," she belts out over an increasingly driving acoustic rhythm. The Nashville musicians give LP1 more natural shadings than those on the records that were supposed to make Stone a pop star, and Stone herself sounds more focused. She still can't carry an entire album, but at least she's back in her zone. —Michael Gallucci

(TriceEdneyWire.com/GIN) – The government of South Sudan and the United Nations are reporting that some 100,000 people are facing starvation, with a million more on the brink of famine.
The announcement comes as international aid agencies are overwhelmed by catastrophes unfolding in four countries. There have been warnings of famine in Yemen, Somalia and north-eastern Nigeria, but South Sudan is the first to declare one.
The famine is currently affecting parts of the Unity state in South Sudan, but humanitarian groups have warned that the crisis could spread if urgent help is not received.
Currently, some 20 U.S.-based charities are working in South Sudan, bringing medical equipment and supplies, the most needed type of food, clothing, shelter materials and other supplies. The groups are listed in CharityWatch, a charity watchdog which issues letter grade ratings (A+ to F) to nonprofit groups aiding victims. Groups that receive an “A” or “B” grade spend at least 75% of their budget on program services and spend no more than $25 to raise $100.
Under the heading “Donors Beware,” CharityWatch writes: “As with any charitable contribution, Americans wanting to help South Sudan relief efforts should send contributions to only those charities with an established track record of helping people in this region.”
ReliefWeb.int, a digital service of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which tracks countries in crisis and provides the latest reports, maps, infographics and videos, wrote in a report in December: “Alarmingly, 4.8 million people in South Sudan – more than one-third of the population – are food insecure.”
Serge Tissot, the Food and Agriculture Organization’s representative for South Sudan described those affected as “predominantly farmers as war has disrupted agriculture. They’ve lost their livestock, even their farming tools. For months there has been a total reliance on whatever plants they can find and fish they can catch.”
Food prices have soared by 800 percent, putting food out of the reach of impoverished families. Thousands of refugees have sought shelter in camps in Uganda.
“This famine is man-made,” said Joyce Luma, country director for the World Food Program in South Sudan, which has seen its facilities looted on several occasions by armed groups. “WFP and the entire humanitarian community have been trying with all our might to avoid this catastrophe, mounting a humanitarian response of a scale that quite frankly would have seemed impossible three years ago.”
But she warned that without peace and security, “there is only so much that humanitarian assistance can achieve.”
Meanwhile, workers at Save the Children-supported health clinics and hospitals in Puntland have reported a significant increase in severe malnutrition among children coming through their doors.
An estimated 363,000 children are already suffering from malnutrition in Somalia.

Time to shelve the book habit
2 November 5th, 2010 at 10:11
Yesterday the Times Higher Education included a library story, Time to shelve the book habit, following the debate about the future of university libraries, hosted by Times Higher Education at the British Library last week: “Is the physical library a redundant resource for 21st-century academics?”
We are changing our physical library. Over the next 12 months, we will remove from the library around 100m of reference material that is available and used online. We will also remove around 100m of print journals over the next year that are available online in the JSTOR archive, just the beginning of a move towards the digital archive on JSTOR.
This will provide the opportunity for new learning spaces in our libraries. It also helps to protect the shelving space available for the huge collection of books which continue to be important for Arts and Humanities research and teaching.

Ancient Antarctica was warmer and wetter than previously suspected, enough to support vegetation along its edges, according to a new study.
By examining the remnants of plant leaf wax found in sediment cores taken below the Ross Ice Shelf, scientists from the University of Southern California, Louisiana State University and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory were able to determine that summer temperatures along the Antarctic coast 15 to 20 million years ago were 20 degrees Fahrenheit (11 degrees Celsius) warmer than they are today, reaching up to about 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees Celsius); with several times more precipitation.
This occurred during a period of global warming in the middle Miocene epoch that coincided with increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
"This is some of the first evidence of just how much warmer it was," said Sarah J. Feakins, an assistant professor of earth sciences at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and lead author of a paper on the research published in Nature Geoscience on June 17.
Scientists began to suspect that high-latitude temperatures during the middle Miocene were warmer than previously believed when Sophie Warny, co-author of the Nature Geoscience paper, discovered large quantities of pollen and algae in sediment cores taken around Antarctica.
Fossils of plant life in Antarctica are difficult to come by because the movement of the massive ice sheets covering the landmass grinds and scrapes away the evidence.
"Deep sea cores are ideal to look for clues of past vegetation as the fossils deposited are protected from ice-sheet advances, but these are technically very difficult to acquire in the Antarctic and require international collaboration," said Warny, assistant professor of palynology at Louisiana State University.
"Ice cores can only go back about one million years," Feakins said. "Sediment cores allow us to go into 'deep time.'"
Tipped off by the tiny pollen samples, the USC-led team opted to look at the remnants of leaf wax taken from sediment cores for clues. Leaf wax acts as a record of climate change by documenting details about the hydrogen isotope ratios of the water the plant drank while it was alive.
Jung-Eun Lee, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a co-author on the paper, created model experiments to find out just how much warmer and wetter climate may have been. "When the planet heats up, the biggest changes are seen toward the poles. The southward movement of rain bands made the margins of Antarctica less like a polar desert, and more like present-day Iceland."
The peak of Antarctic greening during this time period, known as the middle Miocene, occurred between 16.4 and 15.7 million years ago. For reference, this was well after the age of the dinosaurs, which died out 64 million years ago. During the Miocene epoch, mostly modern looking animals such as three-toed horses, deer and camel roamed Earth. Various species of apes also existed, though modern humans did not appear until 200,000 years ago.
Warm conditions during the middle Miocene are thought to be associated with carbon dioxide levels, probably around 400 to 600 parts per million (ppm). In 2012, carbon dioxide levels have climbed to 393 ppm, the highest they've been in the past several million years. At the current rate of increase, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are on track to reach middle Miocene levels by the end of this century.
The ultimate goal of the study was to better understand what the future of climate change may look like, Feakins said. "Just as history has a lot to teach us about the future, so does past climate: what this record shows us is how much warmer and wetter it can get around the Antarctic ice sheet as the climate system heats up."
This research was funded by the US National Science Foundation with additional support from NASA.

According to a press release from PDHD Public Information Officer Allison Beshear, anyone between those ages living in Trigg, Lyon, Caldwell, Livingston and Crittenden Counties are eligible for the free vaccines.
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the flu shot for everyone 6 months and older, especially those with chronic illnesses,” Beshear said. “Flu season is upon us and if you haven’t received your shot now is the time to do so.”
The vaccines are being given out at the county health departments, including the Trigg County Health Department, located at 196 Main St., and they will also be available from school clinics in Caldwell, Crittenden, Livingston and Lyon Counties. There isn’t a school clinic in Trigg County.
Travis Hamby, superintendent of the Trigg County School System, said the PDHD hadn’t contacted him about having a school clinic this year.
Anyone over the age of 18 who wants a flu vaccine can get one at Trigg County Health Department for $25. The vaccine is free to those who are on Medicaid or Medicare.
According to a CDC press release, the 2010-2011 vaccine protects against an influenza A H3N2 virus, an influenza B virus and the 2009 H1N1 virus.
Like in previous years, the vaccine protects against the three viruses that CDC researchers predict will be most common, the CDC said. While the vaccine didn’t protect against all of the most common strains a few years ago, there hasn’t been any indication that this is the case this year, said Beshear.

Colton's Elementary Physiology has been supplied to all pupils in grades VI, VII., and VIII.
The introduction of the Ward Method of Teaching Read 'ing has been completed by supplying all schools with the Manual, Phonetic Cards, and Readers. To teach Reading successfully by the Ward Method requires of the teacher careful study and very thorough work with her classes, but the results that are being secured by the use of this method amply repay the extra work required of the teacher.
I believe that Spelling isone of the subjects that has been neglected during recent years and that very little systematic and thorough work in Spelling is accomplished without the aid of a text-book. Sheldon's Word Studies has therefore been supplied for all pupils above Grade III].
