Under pressure from customers to brace network systems to withstand disasters and shutdowns, organizations are investigating ways to enlist business continuity services, from companies such as T-Systems AG and EMC Corp., as a flexible safety net.
And traditional software vendors, including Opsware Inc. and Ecora Corp., are responding by combining a wealth of experience and niche offerings to plug disaster-recovery holes.
The events of Sept. 11 caught off guard scores of companies without proper fail-over and disaster recovery methodologies. A year later, many organizations are still unclear on a proper starting point and the skills needed to customize a plan.
“Business continuity solutions were stuck on a shelf and really never looked at again,” said Sandra Palumbo, an analyst at Boston-based Yankee Group. “[Companies] don’t know necessarily where to start or have resources internally to do this sort of thing.”
To be successful, Palumbo said, business continuity and disaster recovery plans must be continually reevaluated and possess the flexibility for periodic updates.
To assist companies aiming to prepare for the worst, T-Systems next month will launch a business continuity service designed to help customers determine which disaster recovery system best fits their needs.
A telecommunications and IT services business unit of Deutsche Telekom AG, T-Systems’ service fuses risk assessment with the ongoing evaluation of recoverability and coverage across a company’s business structure, said Andrew Borgstrom, CEO of Chicago-based T-Systems.
Network redundancy, resource distribution, security-impact assessment, and planning consistency top customers’ lists for business continuity assistance, Borgstrom said.
T-Systems plans to augment common continuity-planning approaches behind its professional services practice by offering outage notifications, monitoring, escalation procedures, and incident collection.
“The problem is these start-up-and-stop efforts,” Borgstrom said. “The number of points of vulnerability, for even the customers that think they have their act together, are far more than anyone could imagine.”
Although end-users are often reluctant to embrace outsourcing efforts such as T-Systems’, Yankee Group’s Palumbo said the appeal of value-added managed services and the “hands-off” nature of datacenters and dispersed hot-sites could be the perfect remedy to sway even the most ardent hosting skeptics.
“Having backup being run and maintained by someone else, although there’s hesitancy around it, right now it’s not such a bad idea … to get started on the path all the way up to managing and maintaining that plan, and [to receive] managed services that customers want,” Palumbo said.
Customers want vendors that have ample experience in dealing with a variety of scenarios, Palumbo said.
For some customers, such as Michael Wright, senior IT systems administrator at Denver International Airport (DIA), services wrapped around business continuity can provide a reassuring pillar of support for product purchases.
With the help of EMC Global Services, DIA has deployed a network storage platform using EMC Corp.’s Symmetrix SAN and EMC Celerra NAS to consolidate its servers and maximize storage capacity.
Initially interested in a traditional backup-to-tape disaster recovery model, Wright said EMC’s professional services guidance helped the DIA cut costs and create a business continuity plan for remote data replication should an outage arise.
“We were not experts in this field. We would change data migration [needs] at the last minute and [EMC] was extremely accommodating,” Wright said. “We’ve been able to exploit costs and get more than what we paid out of it.”
Wright said the DIA’s data replication site that will house critical data and the airport’s network operations center is expected to go live in about five weeks.
Although disaster recovery services are gaining momentum, they have not eliminated their software counterparts.
Despite having sold its managed services business to Electronic Data Systems Corp., Opsware — formerly managed service provider Loudcloud Inc. — is determined to leverage the experience it acquired in its last incarnation.
Last week, Opsware announced the release of its Multimaster SAM (Service Automation Module). Its latest “knowledge pack” synchronizes software and configuration settings to rebuild a server and application environment across multiple datacenters in case of an outage or emergency, said Tim Howes, CTO and executive vice president of Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Opsware.
Howes said the new software provides a single console to distribute global applications. Multimaster SAM is an extension of Opsware System 3, the company’s IT automation platform.
In an effort to bring its disaster recovery product to a new segment of customers, Ecora announced last week the release of Configuration Auditor for Microsoft Corp. SQL Server. Customers asked the company for broader support beyond Oracle, according to officials at Portsmouth, N.H.-based Ecora.
Configuration Auditor for Microsoft SQL Server allows viewers to see which users have been assigned to which server roles, including log-in information for reorchestration in case of an outage.

Written while in exile in the United States, “Time” and “Space” were originally intended to appear together in a single volume. Not until 1986, however, did they appear so in Spanish— and not until 1988 were they published together in English. By presenting them together, Jiménez had wanted them to convey the same continuity of emotion, the same philosophical intensity, that he had experienced while writing them. “All My Life,” he wrote in his introduction, “I have toyed with the idea of writing a continuous poem...with no concrete theme, sustained only by its own surprise, its rhythm, its discoveries, its light, its successive joys; that is, its intrinsic elements, its essence.” That continuous poem is Time and Space the last book Jiménez wrote. Presented here in a bilingual edition, Time and Space will take readers of both English and Spanish on the longest and most sustained ride on the crest of poetry they will ever enjoy.
“The greatest poem in this Century...” —Octavio Paz
Antonio T. de Nicolás, translator and editor of Time and Space is also widely known for his highly acclaimed translation of the Juan Ramón Jiménez classic, Platero and I, as well as many other works in Spanish. His first book of poetry, Remembering the God to Come, is also being published by iUniverse.com.

Ever wondered where Siri gets her answers from? What it takes to get into Apple? How to really prepare for a tech interview? iX alumni, Vera Xu has the answers.
While not the 'voice' of Siri, she certainly powers a fair portion of the brains behind the bot as part of Apple's Siri Search team. But it wasn't always this way. Vera explains how she carved her own path to success (with a little help from iX).
I went to school at Duke University where I studied Biomedical Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering. However, I made the change in my after-graduation career planning during junior year of college. Instead of doing hardware design and biomedical instrumentation design, I switched to the software/tech industry. I made this conscious choice after a previous summer spent in Tanzania as biomedical technician, fixing medical equipments for a small village hospital. I realized the scale of impact is limited at my level for hardware design and maintenance, while software engineering is a field in which it’s easier to have scalable impacts. I wanted to work on something that positively impact people’s lives everyday, and software technology seemed to be the way to do that.
There was an info session at my school by iX, and while I didn’t have time to drop by, I checked out the website that showcased this all encompassing experience – both a learning opportunity and a hands-on opportunity to practice real skills. It sounded like exactly like what I wanted. Plus, I’d never been to Cape Town and wanted to explore an exotic new city!
iX alumni, Vera Xu, in a Cheetah sanctuary in Cape Town
I did the Full Stack course which gave me some very practical knowledge of frontend development. The TAs and professors all have lots of experience working in the tech industry, so they taught us what it is like to design to fit the industry standard, as well as what it is like to deliver a product and collaborate as a team. All of them were, at the same time, mentors and friends to us. We’d occasionally have dinner together, and would talk over specific parts of the tech industry that interested us most, and they would share what they knew about how to break into each field, and what to learn to do so. They also did some great technical interview workshops, which I really appreciated.
From this experience, I learnt so much about what it's really like to be in tech.
It’s not only about your technical skills and your visions on software architectures, but also your ability to communicate and learn and be a great mentor to others.
I learned that I would like to get better in this field and more importantly, help and mentor kids who feel doubtful about whether tech is for them. iX is a community that gave me reassurance, and similarly, I would like to help many more figure out their paths.
iX motivated me to always stay curious, and be prepared to learn fast. After the 4-week course of development, I was able to build a full-stack dynamic website by myself. It proved that if I really want to learn something fast, given the resources, I can. To this day, in my spare time, I make it my goal to learn something valuable each month. It doesn’t have to always be technical, but it will be beneficial somehow to my long-term personal development. For example, I’m taking non-degree, part-time courses from Stanford on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (ever since I joined the industry full-time, I can’t help but realize that this is a new wave of powerful technology that nobody should miss out on, so I was very glad to hear that iX is doing a course on that too.) At the same time, I also learned to skate board. :P
Apart from constantly learning, another focus of my life is to mentor college girls who want to learn about technology or dive into the tech industry, but have doubts about whether this is the right path for them. The tech industry, to this day, is still dominated by men. Many college women doubt if they should go for the really technical positions, since they don’t see very many female engineers who could act as role models and mentors. It creates unnecessary barriers for women to break into the tech industry, and this situation should be changed. I try to participate in as many of these mentorship programs as possible. In a way, as a woman, I find technology very empowering, and I hope many more will feel that way too.
In essence, big tech companies always have at least one round of a technical phone screen and many rounds of in-person interviews that take place onsite. For the onsite interviews, you will have to be prepared to write code on a whiteboard. Logic and good algorithms are the most important in these interviews, and they can be prepared for.
My recommendation is that when you are stuck, don’t remain silent and look puzzled. Walk the interviewer through your thought process. That will at least show them your approach to a difficult problem. While you are speaking out your thoughts, sometimes you might be surprised to find out that you will figure it out while you are speaking. If not, it’s always good to show your logic.
I’m working for the Apple Siri Search team now. We are Siri’s knowledge base and if you ask Siri a question, it most likely goes to us. We also handle queries from Spotlight, Safari and Lookup. I’m in a more backend position now, and I’m excited to learn more about this part of the spectrum. Apple is quite secretive as you probably know. But I will say that Apple is a company that pays great attention to detail and really values user privacy, which I found rare and very valuable in the industry. On top of that, I’m glad that the product I’m working on is reaching out to millions of people everyday.
I realize that there’s still quite a lot to learn. I definitely plan to stay in the industry for a couple more years, learning while I still can, and building up my network. In the long-term, I think that while I’ve achieved much breath in my explorations of technology in the past couple years, it’s time that I choose a field to specialize in and dive deep. I’m currently still making that decision, but when I do, and if it’s necessary, I’m always down to go back to school to learn more!
I think iX is great fit for many students at varying stages in their career decision-making journeys.

Scientists have identified genes in local maize varieties that can fight off stemborers by summoning their natural enemies, raising hopes for pest-resistant varieties for African smallholders.
Stemborer — an insect larva that bores in plant stems — is causing smallholders in Sub-Saharan Africa yield losses of about US$1.5 billion a year and negatively affecting the livelihoods of nearly 300 million people.
With smallholders unable to buy pesticides to control stemborers, which affect about 50 per cent of crops in Sub-Saharan Africa, researchers studied the genetic make-up of 146 maize plants comprising those created from formal breeding programmes.
Smallholder-selected varieties, called landraces, were assessed to identify whether they had natural traits that could help fight pests.
Researchers identified a defence trait more common in the varieties selected by smallholders than those resulting from breeding programmes, according to the study published in Scientific Reports this month (8 July).
“Developing crop varieties which emit appropriate odour to attract natural enemies of the pest presents an ecologically sustainable and cost-effective pest management option for smallholder maize farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa,” says Amanuel Tamiru, a co-author and research scientist in plant signalling and insect-plant interactions at the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology.
This study involved the screening of diverse genotypes to identify those that were attractive to Cotesia sesamiae, an African parasitic wasp that parasitises cereal stemborers.
“Landraces … gave the highest proportion of number of plants having the trait (six out of 15 screened, or 40 per cent),” says the study, adding that C. sesamiae spent more time on egg-induced odours that came from landraces than the other varieties.
“Stemborers are devastating insect pests of maize and other important food crops such as sorghum, rice and millet in Africa. They damage these crops by burrowing inside the stem causing the plants to collapse and die,” Tamiru explains.
Vulnerability to toxins
He says that stemborers also drill into maize cobs, ruin grains and increase vulnerability to aflatoxins, a poisonous substances produced by certain fungi and can contaminate food crops with serious health threat to humans and livestock.
The study’s findings, he explains, could be key to developing new resistant varieties for sustainable maize production.
Prevent pests resistance
According to Tamiru, the use of insecticides for pest control is not only expensive for smallholder farmers, but may also lead to pest resistance, secondary pest outbreaks, environmental pollution and health risks for spray operators.
Tamiru says that stemborer pests undermine food security in the region, adding that the findings provide a strategy to develop maize varieties with natural resistance against the pest.
Murenga Mwimali, principal scientist and a maize breeder at the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization, tells SciDev.Net that research on strategies to fight stemborers is vital.
“In Kenya stemborers cause approximately 400,000 metric tonnes in grain losses, which is equivalent to nine billion Kenyan shillings (about US$85.5 million) annually,” Mwimali says.
New agricultural challenges
But Mwimali tells SciDev.Net that further studies will be required to test for stability of the genes and their transferability into the parental population, which will eventually be used for hybrid formations.
African governments need to commit up to ten per cent of their country’s gross domestic products to agriculture, he adds.
“With the ever-emerging new agricultural challenges including new pests such as fall armyworm, there is strong need to invest more in the agricultural research to enable us to reach the zenith of food and nutrition security,” he says.

Self-driving cars are all the rave right now in both the tech world and the auto world. Google is paving the path right now with their smart car that can self-navigate by using GPS data, sensors, and an onboard computer.
But instead of making cars smarter, what if we made roads smarter instead? Volvo recently conducted a research project where they built a roadway fitted with magnets underneath the pavement. The idea behind this project is that cars equipped with sensors would be able determine their position on the road. Volvo believes this is a safer solution than autonomous vehicles because of a lower margin of error for positioning inaccuracies.
Though innovative, the idea isn’t financially feasible. To upgrade the roads with this technology, it would cost approximately $39,362 per mile. With nearly 40 million miles of roads, that’s a whopping $157.5 billion! Not to mention the cost of maintenance.
Another thing to take into consideration is that since the roads are public owned and operated, governments would be in charge of constructing these new roadways. Currently, 32 percent of the nation’s streets are in poor or mediocre condition. If the government struggles to keep our current road systems maintained, successfully building magnetic roads doesn’t look too promising.
Sorry Volvo, it’s a good idea in theory, but it’s just not practical at the moment. But in the future—maybe. We’ll just have to see what’s in store for us.

Nice to see you again! If you’re reading this you’re probably (planning on) going to Nuremberg. Since Nuremberg – or Nürnberg like we call it here in Germany – is my lovely hometown, I thought I’d give you a little more information about the city that hosts one of the most famous Christmas markets in the world. Today I’ll tell you my favorite and a little more unique Nuremberg cafes so you can give them a try, too.
When in Nuremberg you’ll find coffee places like fish in the sea. There are bakeries, small lounges, and Starbucks… BUT – we want to have some cool spots, right?! I collected all of those cool Nürnberg cafés for you in a list right here:
1. NIU – Asian Café
So this place is perfect if you’re down for an Instagram-able location and picture-perfect food.
Located in the old town, this cute Asian cafe is not only looking adorable but also has some special drinks. There’s Rainbow Coffee, Glitter Coffee, Matcha, homemade Ice Teas and so much more! I had a hard time choosing what to try since everything looked and sounded amazing.
Of course, the glitter isn’t only added to the iconic drinks. If you’re down for a sweet snack you can try one of the pancake cakes. They vary from different tastes and are again presented as picturesque as possible. A 10 out of 10 for every Blogger and one of my favorite Nuremberg cafés.
2. Cat Cafe “Katzentempel”
Yes, you’re reading that right – it’s an animal cafe. If you’ve been to Asia (especially Tokyo and Seoul) you might have seen some of these along your travels. I ain’t a huge fan of animal cafes. When in Asia, I visited a Cat Cafe once and was shocked, at how the animals were kept in small spaces only to please the tourists and locals as an attraction. To be honest – I thought I would never enter one of these places ever again.
Now here comes what makes this one special: The „Katzentempel“ hosts rescued cats only and their main concern is the health and well-being of the cats. In Nuremberg’s Cat Café, seven lovely cats are living in a spacious area where they can play on their own, with the guests or go into the cat’s only area in case they just want to be on their own. They’re not forced to do anything and can decide whether they are with the guests or not.
Their menu is completely vegan-vegetarian and every meal is handmade with love. They even bake their bread themselves! I ordered a salad and it was not only huge but also really delicious!
3. Cafe in der 12
This Cafe is unique because of its beautiful location.
If you arrive at the Main Station by train and walk into the old town you’ll pass by that little area – the „Handwerkerhof“ – where you can stroll through some ancient houses and small shops with handmade art made by locals.
House number 12 hosts a small cafe (which is why they called it “Cafe in der 12”) with a cute seating area on the outside and in the cafe itself. They serve coffee specialties and small snacks like cake and croissants. It’s very delicious and the surrounding is just too cute!
4. Cafe Lebemann
Cafe Lebemann is one of the most popular places here and loved by locals. It is located underneath the „Köpfleinsberg“ and offers a variety of drinks and cakes. During the day you can have a coffee or handmade Lemonades, in the evening you go there for drinks. You just grab your Coffee/Spritz/Beer etc through their small To-go window and sit on the stairs if there are no more chairs. Definitely one of the most iconic and crowded places here.
I’d recommend trying some of the homemade lemonades – they’re amazing. If you’re down for a drink try one of the Spritz Varieties, they’re so delicious! The perfect spot for a chill summer night with friends!
5. Brezen Kolb
Well, every Local reading this will now wonder why on earth I’m recommending a Pretzel bakery since they are very common here in Germany. Well, that’s true BUT as a foreigner, you probably only know pretzels from Auntie Annies in the States which are, sorry to say, incomparable to what Pretzels are actually like. (Which is not that crazy sweet!! lol)
Brezen Kolb is a franchise here in the area and they make the best Brezen ever (Breze is german for Pretzel). You’ll find little houses on the street where they sell them or some bakeries. But there’s one specific shop you wanna visit – because leaving Germany without eating a real german Breze isn’t acceptable. Have you even been to Nuremberg if you didn’t have one of their Brezen?!
This one shop is located beautifully by the water next to the iconic Fleischbrücke and while eating any kind of Brezel you want you can watch the ducks on the river and the tourists crossing the bridge. The best place to have one of our iconic Brezen! Enjoy!
6. Machhörndl Espresso- and Brewbar
The Machhörndl Espresso Bar is not unique compared to the others on the list but – in my opinion – serves some of the best coffee in town when it comes to quality. They roast the coffee themselves and you can try it in one of their three locations.
Located in the old town as well, they have different coffee specialties and you can choose between the different beans they offer that day. They serve some delicious Cold Brew (my summer go-to) and of course different Teas as well. Additionally, you can eat some of the delicious pastries or some Ice cream during the summer months! Definitely one of my favorite Nuremberg Cafes!
So here you go – these are my favorite Nürnberg cafés if I want to have my coffee in a little more unique way or place. Those spots are all located in the old town of Nuremberg so you can easily reach them on foot after some sightseeing or just to take a quick break from shopping all day.
If you try them out please let me know if you like them and write me in the comments or over on my Instagram.
If you like to see more content like this just head over to @JetlagJules on Instagram and follow me along with my strolls through different cities in the world sharing places and stuff I love!
Thank you so much for stopping by and reading, I hope you found it helpful!
See you soon,

As a journalist, I learn plenty of interesting things. Some stick with me, some don’t, and some have the potential to change my life.
This year has been a strange one for me. Even though nothing bad has happened, save for a few unexpected problems with the house, I’ve struggled with multiple bouts of the blues. These inexplicable feelings of sadness come out of nowhere and stay for a day or three, and then vanish as quickly as they appeared.
Being the analytical person that I am, I’ve tried to figure out where these troubling feelings were coming from. Did I need more exercise? More social contact? Was I worrying too much about things I couldn’t control?
I journaled. I went back to kickboxing, which had always helped me stay sane and happy in the past. I made a point of seeing friends on a regular basis. Everything I did seemed to be just a Band-Aid on the problem. While my “blue periods” didn’t seem severe or prolonged enough to be clinical depression, they were disturbing.
Complicating the problem were some minor health issues–more migraines and headaches than usual, and a stomach that still hadn’t recovered from my trip to Bali at the start of the year. I was about to drag myself to the doctor–reluctantly, since I had an inkling some nasty medical tests were in my future–when I was assigned to interview a naturopath.
As fate would have it, the naturopath specialized in digestive issues and mild depression and anxiety. At the end of our interview, I mentioned I was having some problems and would like to come and see her. As she provides 15-minute free consultations with prospective patients, she offered to tell me what she could right then, over the phone. After making sure she was truly okay with this and not in any way feeling pressured by my position, I told her what was going on.
In turn, she told me something that made my ears prick up.
She said the first thing she would do is check my levels of Vitamin B12.
This really struck me, since my medical doctor had diagnosed me with low levels of this vitamin years ago, and told me to “eat more red meat.” I took her advice for a time, but then went back to my normal diet of eating very little meat at all.
What my doctor didn’t tell me was how dangerous a B12 deficiency can be. If it’s left untreated, it can lead to blindness, cancer, and even death. (Which might have been a good thing to mention–I would have taken it more seriously.)
A quick Internet search confirmed the naturopath’s hunch–every single one of my symptoms, from exhaustion to the blues and mood swings to headaches and digestive issues, can be caused by a lack of Vitamin B12.
I didn’t have to wait for an appointment with the naturopath to test the theory. Taking a Vitamin B12 supplement certainly wouldn’t hurt me, so I started right away. It’s been four days now. Since then, I’ve had no digestive issues at all. I’m still tired, but I haven’t had a headache for the first time in weeks. It’s too early to say if the supplements will banish the blues, but I’m hopeful.
This got me to wondering…how many people are put on medication when a vitamin supplement is all that was needed? How many are going through the same thing I was?
Vegetarians and vegans are at a high risk of Vitamin B12 deficiency, since the vitamin is found in animal protein sources. Women who are on the pill are also at risk.
Have any of you heard of this problem or experienced something similar? I’m going to keep tabs on how I’m feeling and make that doctor’s appointment if there’s no change, but so far I’m feeling pretty good.
And to think it all could have been resolved with a simple reminder to take my vitamins!
* In hindsight, I should add that this post was in no way meant to suggest that some people do not need or benefit from anti-depressants. If you suspect you have clinical depression, please see your doctor.

According to America’s Reluctant Prince, Carolyn’s mother, Ann Freeman, had openly questioned during her wedding toast whether John was the right man for her daughter.
Anthony, however, tempered the awkwardness with his best man toast. “We all know why John would marry Carolyn,” he said. “She is smart, beautiful and charming…What does she see in John? A person who over the years has taken pleasure in teasing me, playing nasty tricks and, in general, torturing me. Well, some of the things that I guess might have attracted Carolyn to John are his caring, his charm, and his very big heart of gold.”
Also, before they got married, Carolyn had become increasingly involved with George, much to the consternation of John’s partner, Michael Berman, who ended up selling his half of the magazine in 1997. Incidentally, Carolyn missed having her own career, but she wasn’t sure what she wanted to do—or could do, thanks to her outsized celebrity—next.
Then, in 1998, John, an adventurous outdoorsman who was always trying to go faster or higher or to somewhere more remote, took up flying—something his mother, when she was alive, had pleaded with him not to do.

Her Broadway credits began in 1959, with the original production of Sweet Bird of Youth, where she designed the costumes specifically for Geraldine Page, as task she would repeat for several of Ms. Page's performances, including her last, the 1987 revival of Blithe Spirit. Her most recent credit is the revival of A Chorus Line.
Blythe Danner in the 2001 revival of Follies
Among the plays and musicals she designed were the original productions of: The Best Man, Mary, Mary, Anyone Can Whistle, the musical version of Two Gentlemen of Verona, Ballroom, 42nd Street, The Rink, Chess, The Secret Garden and Nick and Nora, plus the Tyne Daly Gypsy, and the most recent revival of Follies . She was nominated for 15 Tonys, winning 3 (Annie, Barnum and La Cage aux Folles). She also won 6 Drama Desk Awards, and in 1990, she was inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame.
Dreamgirls (1981 - 82 - Tony Nominee)
One show that Ms. Aldredge left her indelible stamp on was the original Broadway production of Dreamgirls. They were a national sensation, and continue to influence productions of the show today, as well as the Oscar winning film version.
Her designs are a part of the show's logo and iconography
Her designs made the cover of Ebony
And the original Dreams in action
on the 1982 Tony Awards
La Cage aux Folles (1983-84 - Tony Winner)
There have been many successful productions of La Cage aux Folles but none had the opulence of the original Broadway production. Starring Tony winner George Hearn and the truly notorious Les Cagelles, this show was a visual feast.
George Hearn as Zaza -
"I Am What I Am"
..."We Are What We Are"
A Chorus Line (1975-76 - Tony Nominee)
In retrospect, it seems odd that Ms. Aldredge's designs for the classic musical A Chorus Line did not win the Tony Award. Not before or sense has an entire set of costume designs been more associated with a single show. Of course, much of that has to do with the logo of the show, which was plastered everywhere, and even today remains instantly recognizable. And that design is only eclipsed by the big production number, "One," which, back in the day was on EVERY TV show, dozens of ads, and live onstage on Broadway and literally dozens of touring and regional productions. Long before the famous icons and advertising for Cats, Les Miserables and Miss Saigon, A Chorus Line was writing the book on mass media for Broadway. Theoni V. Aldredge's costume designs figure prominently in each and every one.
The classic Original Cast logo
Over the years, there have been many talented costume designers on Broadway, but very few have had the longevity, the resume or the impact on American culture as Theoni V. Aldredge. Her work continues to influence theatre productions and inspires countless numbers of costume designers who have come since.
She is a true Broadway legend.

A giant lock screen glows the date and time in the back wall, while piles of glowing, colorful pixels cascade around the circuit board floor. We are inside a cellphone and visiting Emojiland, the hilarious, poignant but not too serious show that is pure comfort food. It is the perfect antidote to our techno-centric world. Written by newcomers Keith Harrison and Laura Schein and now enjoying an extended off-Broadway run, this charming musical tells the tale of emojis just living their lives until an upgrade brings fear and doubt to the land. The imperious leader decrees that a virus threatens their safety, and that all emojis that are new are not to be trusted. A firewall must be constructed, she says, to ensure their continued existence. Yes, this is a topical show, and it's point is clearly made, but mostly it is just a fun escape.
|Selfie! The Emojiland Company|
|"The Progress Bar"|
|Nerd Face and Smize|
George Abud and Laura Schein
In what amounts to a cameo, theater favorite Ann Harada is a scream as 💩. Clearly having a ball, she is the master of underplaying for laughs in her big act two number, "Pile of Poo." (❤ her costume!) Two other current masters of physical musical comedy are giving it 200% and the audience laps it up like a cat with cream. Lesli Margherita is all legs and laughs as 👸, particularly riotous in "Princess is a Bitch," a song that is exactly what you imagine. Josh Lamon is just as funny as the childlike 🤴. Both of these masters now how to play everything just over the top, knowing when to stop and never wearing out their welcome. They have a gift and know just how to use it.
|Princess Lesli Margherita|
It is smart, sassy and endlessly fun. And it really keeps your attention - didn't see a single audience member sneaking a look at their cell phone! Trust me. You'll enjoy your trip to Emojiland!

One of the reasons why so many homebuyers opt for a new-construction house in a developing community is the excitement of making exterior design choices that suit their personal tastes. However, in many cases, the same ideas and design principles that give new homes their fresh, take-notice appearance can be applied to an exterior home makeover.
Take home siding, for example. One of the hottest trends in new-home design is the clever use of various colors, styles, and textures to create a visually intriguing appearance that goes beyond simply choosing complementary colors for the siding and trim. If you’re planning to replace the siding of your home, why not embrace the opportunity to revitalize its façade in a way that catapults it into the 21st century?
If you’re in the Kansas City metro area, the experts at Johnson County Siding & Window Co. will be happy to discuss your upcoming siding replacement project and help you get exactly the look you want for your home. You can meet with our professional in-house designer, who will listen to your goals and help you shape your ideas into an exterior design plan that will make your heart sing. You can also use our visualization software to see how the siding, trim, and colors you choose will look on your home before you make an investment.
In the meantime, here are some exterior home design tips from the experts at Johnson County Siding & Window Co. and James Hardie®, the manufacturer of the nation’s No. 1 brand of house siding:
Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark
In years past, homeowners were often warned to steer clear of dark colors when selecting house siding because of concern about premature fading. However, well-respected siding manufacturers like James Hardie® and Mastic® have made those worries a thing of the past with advanced techniques to ensure that their siding will remain colorfast for many years. Now homeowners can feel confident that their bold aesthetic choices will also be practical ones, and they’re frequently opting for dark colors like Mastic’s “Misty Shadow” or James Hardie’s “Evening Blue.” In fact, according to exterior design experts, dark siding colors are gaining ground on their lighter-hued counterparts. Even black—a once unheard-of choice for house siding—is becoming popular.
What About Trim Color?
One of the best ways to add a touch of drama to your home’s exterior is to pair white trim with your dark siding, which will create an eye-catching contrast. Want to spice it up even more? Try a dark color for your home’s primary siding, then white to accent gables or some other interesting architectural feature. If you’d like to make a bold statement but soften it a little, consider combining a dark color like slate gray with trim that’s a lighter shade, such as granite.
And here’s another home exterior design tip: The same concept often works well in reverse. Choose a light color for the primary siding on your home’s exterior, then pair it with a dark trim color for dramatic effect. Or, for a less obvious contrast, choose a trim color from the same palette as your main siding, but a shade or two darker.
Think of Your Home’s Exterior as Mosaic Artwork
The eye loves to rove over mosaic art, taking in the many patterns and textures that are used to create a cohesive effect. Skillfully combining colors is only one way to achieve an intriguing home façade. You can also combine different siding styles. For example, you can select horizontal lap siding for most of your home’s exterior but highlight gables with a shingle or shake style.
Another extremely popular option is to use stone veneer cladding in strategic places to enhance your home’s visual appeal. Accenting one or more architectural features of your home with stucco siding is also a great way to achieve this goal, and the color options for modern acrylic stucco siding are practically limitless.
Time to Get Started
Granted, it’s fun to discover exterior home design tips and peruse pictures of beautiful homes that have incorporated them, but you’ll have to do more than dream if you want your Kansas City home to keep step with the times.
Fortunately, the experts at Johnson County Siding & Window Co. can make it easy for you to update your home’s exterior. When you partner with us, you’ll be able to choose from several types of house siding, including:
- James Hardie® fiber cement siding
- Mastic® premium vinyl siding

This means you won’t have to shop around for multiple siding contractors to bring your exterior design ideas to life. Moreover, no matter which siding options are right for your home, you’ll be able to count on expert installation services when you entrust your project to us.
Are you ready to learn more? Contact Johnson County Siding & Window Co. today to request a free consultation about our siding options and exterior design services. We proudly serve communities in Kansas City on both sides of the Kansas-Missouri state line.

Stucco is a favorite siding choice throughout the world because of the tremendous variation in colors and textures that can be used to create the exact appearance a homeowner has in mind for his or her house. Traditionally, stucco is a cement-based house coating that can last for decades depending on various factors, including how well it’s applied to begin with, what base material it’s applied to, and how well it’s maintained. In this article, you’ll get the answer to your question of “How long does stucco siding last?” as well as some tips for getting the most out of your stucco house siding.
For the Best Results, Choose Acrylic Stucco
If you’re thinking of adding stucco to your home in the Kansas City metro area, you should consider the 100-percent acrylic stucco siding available from Johnson County Siding & Window Co. This advanced stucco coating is a long-lasting, low-maintenance option that easily outperforms the stucco siding of old due to acrylic polymers that:
- Allow the coating to “stretch” over exterior walls and resist cracking during seasonal temperature changes
- Create a siding material that’s vapor permeable, which means it allows water vapor to escape without transforming into liquid that can undermine your coating and the walls it’s meant to protect
- Are combined with advanced fade-resistant technology, which means you won’t need to repaint or replace your siding for many years
For optimal longevity, traditional stucco typically requires repainting every seven to 10 years, as well as vigilant checking for hairline cracks and applying caulk as needed. While our acrylic stucco is designed to be more durable, it’s still a good idea to keep an eye on the surface and schedule maintenance as needed.
The Importance of Expert Installation
No matter what type of siding material you choose for your home, the question of how long it will last is greatly affected by how well it’s installed, and this includes acrylic stucco siding. To get the best performance out of your siding, you’ll want to choose a highly experienced siding company with a track record for superior workmanship.In the Kansas City metro area, the contractor to partner with is Johnson County Siding & Window Co. We back all of our siding installation services with a five-year labor warranty, and we have a stellar reputation for keeping our customers satisfied.
To learn more about our long-lasting stucco siding and the many other top-quality home upgrades available from Johnson County Siding & Window Co. for your home in the Kansas City area, contact us today.

If you have a revocable living trust, you may need to update it from time to time. In the process of your trust update, you may wonder if you need to amend it or if it needs to be completely restated. The answer to that question depends on what your goal is with the update.
Why a Trust Update Is Needed
A living trust can be changed at any time and for any reason. That’s the benefit of creating a revocable trust. There are several reasons you might need to amend or restate your trust, and they are usually centered around life events. These might include:
- Changing beneficiaries
- Adding or removing assets
- Relocating to a new state
In addition, it’s smart practice to review your trust regularly to ensure that it continues to support your wishes. What you desire at 60 can be very different from what the 40-year-old version of you would have wanted.
When an Amendment Is the Best Bet
If your trust update only requires minor changes, an amendment is the correct choice. These minor adjustments can include changing assets or trustees. A trust amendment changes one or more provisions of a revocable trust without revoking it entirely.
Implementing numerous amendments over the years can make the trust confusing, requiring your trustee to go through additional documents to makes sense of multiple amendments. If it comes to that, it might be time to rework your trust to be clearer. That’s when a restatement is in order.
When a Trust Update Requires a Restatement
If you have multiple changes to make to your trust, a restatement could be the better option. Updates that fall into this category include removing a beneficiary or changing your asset distribution. Restating the trust means that you and your estate planning attorney will create a new document that states that the trust has not been revoked but is being restated (replaced by a new trust with the same name). Because your trust update is a restatement, you won’t have to move property out of it and then back into it (which you would have to do if you revoked the original trust).
In many instances, a restatement is preferable to an amendment because the restated trust supersedes any previous trusts and amendments. If, for instance, you removed a beneficiary, they would never know because they would not be listed in the amended trust, which will avoid any potential issues or hurt feelings.
Another reason to restate the trust is to take advantage of changes to the law. For example, the popular “AB” trust format of the 1990’s was made almost completely obsolete by 2012 estate tax law changes, therefore almost all “AB” trusts should be restated.
Speak with your estate planning attorney if you have an older trust and need to make these adjustments.

#5 Grant Nieves finds an opening as #3 Will White delivers a block during Rocky Hill's 49-15 victory over Avon to open the 2016 season.
The leaves are turning, and the temperatures are slowly dropping. Normally that is a sign that the high school fall sports season is underway.
Unfortunately, 2020 has been anything but normal and the high school football season remains in a state of limbo after the CIAC announced last week that 11-on-11 football will not be played, following a recommendation from the Department of Public Health.
In the meantime, the National Football League season kicks off tonight and all 32 professional teams will have played their opener by late Monday night/early Tuesday morning.
While local football awaits its ultimate fate, let us take a trip down memory lane and look back at the local games and names from yesteryear by revealing the area’s best opening-game football performances from the last past decade.
September 17, 2011: Morales-Antonio Connection Ring Bellringers’ Bell
Quarterback Anthony Morales and wide receiver Michael Antonio took to the skies in the 2011 opener, boosting the Panthers past East Hampton/Vinal 40-24. Morales threw for 432 yards and four touchdowns. Two of those scoring strikes went to Antonio, who nabbed a total of nine passes for 233 yards. Junior running back Derrick Villard gashed the Bellringers with 201 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
The win started a six-game winning streak for the Panthers, who would eventually advance all the 2011 Class S championship game following upset wins over Capital/Classical and Northwest Catholic in the playoffs. The trio of Morales, Antonio, and Villard shined the entire season, all earning All-State honors. The season didn’t end in a championship victory, but the dominant opener and the season will never be forgotten.
Best of the Rest: Karstetter Rocks Rockville, Twice
Cromwell quarterback Bryce Karstetter had back-to-back brilliant performances against Rockville, combining for 494 passing yards and nine total touchdowns in the 2017 and 2018 openers. As a junior in 2017, Karstetter completed 10 of 12 passes for four touchdowns in a 54-20 victory at Rockville and then added four score aerial scores and another on the ground in a 35-21 home win over the Rams in 2018.
In his three years under center, Karstetter led the Panthers to 26 wins and the consecutive openers may have been his two finest performances.
Middletown Blue Dragons
September 9, 2016: Middletown’s Ground Attack Pounds Platt
Middletown ran the ball early and often against rival Platt, resulting in 377 yards and five touchdowns on the ground in a 49-24 season-opening victory in 2016. Quarterback Tyshaun James led the way, tossing a touchdown and running for two more to go along with his 144 rushing yards. Stone Belzo added 77 yards and two more scores on the ground, while Deshaun Bradshaw added 98 yards and another touchdown.
The Blue Dragons would go on to win seven more regular season games before again meeting up with Platt in the first round of the playoffs. The location was different (this time at Middletown High School) but the result was the same. Middletown again plastered the Panthers with 459 ground yards and eight touchdowns, five by James.
After the dust settled, Middletown rushed for 836 yards and 13 touchdowns in the two meetings against Platt in 2016.
Best of the Rest: Belzo Bombards Eagles
Making his quarterbacking debut, Stone Belzo threw for a touchdown and ran 117 yards and two more scores in a 29-12 victory over Wethersfield to open the 2017 season. Belzo carved up the Eagles on offense and also forced and recovered a fumble on the defensive end, which was one of four turnovers created by the Blue Dragons.
Running back Xzavier Reyes added 148 yards on the ground in the win, which prompted a magical season in Middletown as the Blue Dragons eventually completed an undefeated (10-0) regular season in 2017.
September 13, 2019: Newington’s Balanced Attack Topples Nemesis
Coming into the fall of 2019, Newington’s recent history against Windsor wasn’t pretty. The Warriors had handed the Indians four consecutive losses by a combined score of 155-6.
Led by quarterback Nick Pestrichello, who ran for two scores and threw another, Newington got revenge against their nemesis with a 30-22 victory to open the 2019 season. John Amaning Jr did damage on both sides of the ball, controlling the clock with 122 rushing yards and a touchdown on offense and intercepting a pass on defense.
The win was the first of seven regular season victories the Indians, who broke a decade-long postseason drought by qualifying the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
Best of the Rest: Hedberg and Young Sizzle Bacon
Newington ate up Bacon Academy 52-22 in the 2013 opener thanks to an immaculate first half led by quarterback Jake Hedberg and running back Isaiah Young. Hedberg tossed for 255 yards and four scores, while Young ran wild for 228 yards and three touchdowns.
The offensive onslaught outshined a solid defensive performance from the Indians, who led 40-6 at the break before taking the gas off the pedal. Senior defenders Christian Zotti and Nick Mamet combined for 27 tackles in memorable home opener.
Rocky Hill Terriers
September 13, 2013: Rocky Hill’s Interior Grounds Eagles
Senior running back Chris Young led a relentless rushing attack, which amassed over 400 yards, as Rocky Hill defeated Wethersfield 39-26 to open the 2013 season. Young ran for 214 yards a pair of scores and Greg Marzilli added 117 yards and another score. The loss overshadowed a terrific afternoon from Eagles quarterback Matt Sanzaro, who threw for 355 yards and three touchdowns.
The win started a magical season for the Terriers, who won 10 regular season games and then walloped Prince Vinal Tech in the first round of the playoffs. The opener and memorable year was a great send off for a terrific senior class and for longtime head coach Dave Coyne, who retired following the year.
Best of the Rest: First-Quarter Fireworks Burns Avon
In 2015, Rocky Hill lost at home to Avon 27-0. A year later the Terrier avenged the loss, de-feathering the Falcons 49-15 at Avon.
Rocky Hill scored five touchdowns over the first 12 minutes before coasting to the easy victory. Grant Nieves scored on a run and a reception, and Joe Catania added two more on the ground. Quarterback Danny Cavallaro tossed two, his second going to White White.
Joe Ferreira and Greg Fernstrom added touchdown runs in the second half as the Terriers started a remarkable run that ended with a trip to the 2016 Class S title game.
September 9, 2016: Eagles’ Defense Smothers Farmington
Wethersfield is known for having an up-tempo, quick strike offenses, but it was the other side of the ball that stole the show during the 2015 season opener. Wethersfield’s defensive unit blanked Farmington 33-0, creating four turnovers, four sacks, and a defensive touchdown.
Junior Chris Cravero forced and recovered a fumble, returning it 33 yards for a touchdown, and Richard Williams tallied a game-high 13 tackles in the victory. Kyle Klavins, who also intercepted a pass, hauled in two of Devon Smith’s three touchdown passes.
The opener was the first of nine regular season victories for the Eagles, who would also chalk up a historic road playoff victory at Torrington.
Best of the Rest: Wethersfield Wins Slugfest at Rocky Hill
Quarterback Matt Sanzaro scored two touchdowns (one passing and one rushing) as Wethersfield knocked off neighboring rival Rocky Hill 17-7 to open the 2014 season.
Richard Williams helped the Eagles control the ball, rushing for 90 yards, and Patrick Mozzicato led the change defensively by harassing Rocky Hill’s backfield with six tackles, three behind the line of scrimmage.
The win would be the first of eleven straight for the Eagles, who completed a flawless (11-0) regular season in 2014.

WAVERLY, Ohio — As a murder trial for a man accused of killing eight people in Pike County in 2016 continues, witnesses are expected to take the stand.
The trial is the first time a person has faced a jury for the deaths of eight members of the Rhoden family six years ago.
George Wagner IV — along with his mother Angela, father George “Billy” Wagner and brother Edward “Jake” Wagner — is accused of shooting and killing the Rhoden family members “execution-style.” The family’s bodies were found on April 22, 2016. He faces eight charges of aggravated murder, along with other charges associated with tampering with evidence, conspiracy and forgery.
WATCH LIVE: Pike County murder trial continues into day two. NOTE: Camera and audio may occasionally drop during the stream. Per the judge’s order, witnesses may opt out of being recorded during this trial. | FEED PROVIDED BY WCPO
The first witness called to testify, Bobby Jo Manley, opted not to be recorded by media. She is the sister of one of the murder victims, and discovered four of the eight Rhoden family members dead in their homes on the morning of April 22, 2016.
Manley recounted her experience on the morning of April 22, 2016, when she first found Chris Sr. and Gary Rhoden dead inside their home when she came to help feed Chris Sr.’s dogs, chickens and pigs. When she and her friend Billy Morgan noticed dogs that belonged inside were left outside.
When they entered, Morgan and Manley found a recliner moved, vice grips on the floor and a smear of blood among bunched up rugs leading from the front room, through the kitchen to Chris Sr.’s bedroom. At the end of the trail, they found the bodies of Chris Sr. and Gary on the floor of the bedroom, covered with a comforter.
From there, Manley called 911 from the properties on Union Hill Road, telling dispatch she’d “found them all dead.”
“There’s blood all over the house,” she told a 911 dispatcher. “My brother-in-law is in the bedroom. Someone beat the hell out of him.”
After discovering her ex-brother-in-law and his cousin dead, she said she raced next door to the home of Frankie and Hannah Hazel to notify them. When she arrived, Frankie’s 3-year-old son opens the door for her. Prosecutors said during opening statements the boy told Manley “daddy has a lot of blood.”
In their bedroom, Manley said she discovered Frankie and Hannah Hazel dead; Hannah Hazel was lying on her front and had apparently been nursing the couple’s 6-month-old son, Ruger, when she was killed.
Ruger was left unharmed in the bed, lying between his parents and covered in blood, Manley said.
The second witness called was Morgan. He also opted out of being recorded during his testimony.
During opening statements on Monday, Angela Canepa, special prosecutor for the case, spent hours describing the movements of the Wagner family on the night of April 21 and into the morning of April 22. Eight members of the Rhoden family were found shot to death in their beds on April 22.
Found dead that day were 40-year-old Christopher Rhoden Sr., 37-year-old Dana Rhoden, 20-year-old Hannah “Hazel” Gilley, 16-year-old Christopher Rhoden Jr., 20-year-old Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden, 37-year-old Gary Rhoden, 19-year-old Hanna May Rhoden, and 44-year-old Kenneth Rhoden.
George’s defense attorney, Richard Nash, pointed out much of the prosecution’s opening statements focused on other members of the Wagner family, specifically details given by Jake and Angela, who both took plea deals and are expected to testify at George’s trial. As part of their plea deals, the mother and brother of the defendant must testify in order for death penalty specifications against the family to be dropped.
Nash painted George as the good-hearted black sheep of a family prone to conning others and committing crimes.
He told the jury that every time they heard “the Wagners,” or a specific family member’s name, to think about how that applies to George, not the other family members.

How old are the tires on your car? How old are the replacement tires you purchased on sale at your local tire center? Knowing the answers could save your life, or your family’s lives.
As a tire ages, the rubber begins to break down and crack, both outside and inside the tire. These cracks can cause the steel belts in the tread to separate from the rest of the tire. Higher quality or higher mileage rated tires may age more slowly than other tires, but nothing can stop this process. Various factors including heat, storage and conditions of use also affect how quickly a tire “ages.”
NHTSA research has found that tires age more quickly in warmer climates, and even more quickly when constantly exposed to sunlight and coastal climates. This obviously applies to an extremely hot and humid South Carolina, especially along the low country and coastal areas. Storage also affects the condition of the tire. A tire stored in the trunk is sitting in a miniature oven all summer long. Tires stored on the rear or under a vehicle are exposed to the elements, and tire covers slow, but do not stop, deterioration. The way a tire is used also can drastically affect its condition. Is the tire properly inflated? Has the tire collided with curbs, or other roadside obstacles, such as potholes, speed bumps or debris in the roadway?
It is important to remember that the vehicle manufacturer, not the tire manufacturer, determines the correct tire pressure for tires on your vehicle. The correct pressure is calculated based on the specific vehicle’s “design load limit”, the greatest amount that the vehicle can safely carry based on the correct tire size. The correct pressure information is contained, not on the tire, but on a permanent placard located in the vehicle, usually on the door edge, glove box door, or inside the trunk lid. It also will be contained in the owner’s manual.
Many studies now recommend that tires be replaced no later than six years after manufacture, regardless of the amount of use. You can determine when a tire was manufactured by examining the code stamped into the sidewall of the tire. Tires manufactured after 2000 have a six digit DOT (Department of Transportation) code on the side of the tire. The code begins “DOT”, the next two numbers indicate the plant where the tire was manufactured, the next four numbers indicate the week and year the tire was manufactured. For example, a code of “3112” would indicate that the tire was manufactured in the 31st week of 2012.
With everyone trying to be cost conscious, it can be difficult to replace tires that look ‘new’ or have ‘good tread’. It is impossible to tell the condition of a tire or whether the tire is safe for use from a simple visual inspection. Keep in mind, it is much cheaper to replace a tire, or set of tires, than a car or a family member.
If you or a family member have a claim for injuries or death which may have been caused by a defective tire or outdated tire, please contact the Joye Law Firm. We will answer your calls 24/7 and will discuss your potential claim at no cost to you.

While it is something we've always known, we're very pleased that others are starting to understand the benefits of dance training for children as an important part of education and development. While policy makers are often trying to cut performing arts and sport from school programs to favour what are seen as more academic subjects, the research is showing that "physical activity has a positive influence on memory, concentration and classroom behavior." and researchers recommend that students should participate in an hour (or more) of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day.
Check out this fantastic article from ideas.ted.com from Sir Ken Robinson and Lou Aronica
If you're interested in finding out more about bringing dance into your primary or secondary school. We would love to talk to you.

Meyer lemon (dairy-free) cheesecake with strawberries
(recipe adapted from Angela Liddon’s “Oh she glows everyday” cookbook)
Note, advance prep (overnight or at least ~8 hours) is required for this recipe, but I promise, it’s 100% worth it!
I like to make this the night before a party, but if that’s not an option - you can make it the morning of your party, provided it doesn’t start until early evening.
Ingredients for crust:
- 1 ½ cups (375 mL) raw pecans
- ¼ cup (60 mL ) unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup pitted Medjool dates
- 1 T (15 mL) coconut oil, warmed to liquid consistency
- 1 tsp (5 mL) water
- Pinch of sea salt
Ingredients for filling:
- 1 ½ cups (375 mL) raw cashews
- 1 T (15 mL) Meyer lemon zest*
*Note, regular lemons work too, they’re just not quite as tasty as Meyer lemons!
- ½ cup (125 mL) fresh Meyer lemon juice
- ½ cup (125 mL) maple syrup
- ½ cup (125 mL) coconut oil, warmed to liquid consistency
- Pinch of sea salt
Advance prep (overnight or at least ~8 hours before you plan to serve this dessert):
- Soak the cashews in a bowl of water overnight or for a minimum of 1-2 hours to soften
Note, the quick soak method = soak the cashews in boiling water for 30-60 minutes.
Drain & rinse before using.
- Grease a 7 inch (1.5 L) springform cake pan with coconut oil.
- To make the crust:
- In a food processor, process the pecans until a coarse meal forms. Add the shredded coconut, dates, oil, salt & 1 tsp of water and process until the mixture comes together.
Note, it should stick together when pressed between your fingers (If it doesn’t you can add a tiny bit more water and process again).
- Spoon the crust mixture into the prepared (greased) pan - spread it out evenly along the base - press down firmly with your hands until smooth and even. Place this into the fridge while you make the filling to allow it to start to set.
- To make the filling:
- In a high-speed blender (e.g., a Vitamix) combine the cashews, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, melted coconut oil and salt. Blend on high until super smooth - you don’t want any grittiness.
- Then, spoon the filling onto the crust and smoothie it out evenly.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and carefully place it on a flat surface in your freezer. Freeze until solid, this typically takes at least 6 hours/overnight.
- Allow the frozen cheesecake to sit at room temperature for ~30-minutes before slicing it.
- Serve with sliced strawberries

Re-Framing Food as Fuel: The Real Facts About Sports Nutrition
By: Leda McDaniel
What if you were literally leaving much of your performance and health needs ‘on the table’ as an endurance athlete? The barrage of nutrition advice from advertising and social media sources can be overwhelming. Knowing what is best to eat given so many recommendations for the best diet plan or new super food can be challenging. How can you tell what is actually most healthy for your body and your increased nutrition demands as an athlete? If you have ever struggled with knowing what types of foods are best to eat and timing of fueling for your sport, read on!
In Episode #21 of the More Than Miles Podcast, physical therapists Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards and Dr. Kacy Seynders interview registered dietician and owner of Meteor Nutrition, Kelsey Beckmann. Kelsey has the academic, clinical, and sports background to answer some of these questions regarding optimum nutrition for endurance athletes. She is no stranger to the nutrition demands of an athlete as she played NCAA Division I soccer before transitioning to distance running and qualifying for the 2020 Olympic Marathon trials. She also undertook significant schooling and worked in various clinical settings as a dietician before opening her own business to follow her passion working in sports nutrition. As Kelsey says, “I think a lot of people are confused about what to eat and when to eat.”
In the podcast interview, these women discuss some of the common myths surrounding nutrition for endurance athletes as well as some positive changes that can drastically improve health and performance. As mentioned above, one of the hardest factors in distilling what is most healthy in terms of nutrition choices is the HUGE amount of nutrition information out there. Knowing what sources you can trust for quality advice is paramount to making good informed choices about nutrition as an athlete. Did you know that anybody can call themselves a nutritionist, but only those who go through significant schooling and training can call themselves a registered dietician? No wonder there is so much misinformation out there on nutrition!
See the table below for some common myths regarding nutrition for athletes. Also shown are the REAL FACTS regarding better nutrition choices for athletes guided by Kelsey’s recommendations:
As an endurance athlete, I don’t need to eat as much protein
If I’m not getting my period, it means that I am training hard enough
If I’m lighter (i.e., lose weight), then I will run faster
If I’m not playing my sport due to injury, I don’t need to eat carbohydrates and should eat fewer calories overall so I don’t gain weight.
I don’t need to eat more often than “3 meals per day” for my sport.
Re-framing “Food as Fuel” and the importance of language and mindset
Just as in many other areas of our lives, the language that we use to describe food, eating, and nutrition can influence our thoughts and beliefs on these topics. Also, our thoughts and beliefs (influenced by language!) drive a lot of our behaviors in this area; like food choices of what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat. For this reason, a lot of what Kelsey works on with her athlete clients is not only behavior changes related to nutrition, but also a “re-framing” of the thoughts and beliefs surrounding food and what we view as “healthy.” Some of these positive changes are best remembered by the phrases that Kelsey uses with her clients.
See below for some of the phrases that Kelsey uses with her athletes to describe important principles of sports nutrition:
“Food as Fuel”: Your body needs the proper food to provide the energy (fuel) for your sport and training demands
“Nourishment Over Numbers”: A focus on choosing foods that “nourish” and support overall body health and athletic performance is often much more healthy and productive than overly obsessing about the “numbers” of food like calorie counting for foods and calories burned, body weight etc.
“Performance Plates”: This idea refers to a concept that Kelsey reinforces with her athletes and that is to try to get a balanced “plate” of macronutrients (fat, protein, carbohydrate), colors (can mean adding different types of fruits/vegetables etc.), and flavors (we want food to taste good! Not feel deprived) at each meal.
As you can see, there are many factors to take into consideration and if this is still overwhelming for you and your eating choices as an athlete it could help to work with a professional such as a registered dietician (like Kelsey) or even a sports psychologist (if mindset around eating and body image are a barrier to good nutrition). For more information on maximizing your performance with nutrition in mind please check out the full interview here: Episode #21 of the More Than Miles Podcast with Kelsey Beckmann.

My friend, author Sharon Connell, www.authorsharonkconnell.com, shared this story with me. It truly did make me smile.
Kathy wanted to know about my other story when God came to my rescue. This one isn’t as dramatic as the Cattle Truck Miracle, but to me it was God’s hand intervening on one of those days when I was really down. The funny thing about it is, I can’t remember what had me so depressed at the time. Even that was erased from my memory on that day.
The day started out with me preparing for work. In Illinois, I worked in advertising at a food broker. What happened to depress me or had continued to depress me from the day before, or whenever, is a mystery now (as I’ve said). But whatever it was, it brought me to tears.
Driving down the busy highway running along the interstate with a ton of cars all around me is not a good place to have tears in one’s eyes, but that was the case. It had been raining that morning, as well, and the sky was overshadowed with dark clouds. A few blocks from the turnoff to the building where I worked, I came to a stop for a red light. At the time, I was still in the inside lane and tried to wipe my tears before the light turned green again.
A break in the clouds appeared, and a wide ray of sunlight shown down, just like you see in a painting. It shined across a stretch of grass next to the interstate where little droplets of dew were still on the tips of the blades of grass. My line of vision followed the rays as they became extremely intense. As the sunrays moved across the patch of grass, about the size of a front yard, it seemed to stop, lighting up the entire patch. The drops of dew glistened as if they were each a half-karat diamond. Imagine hundreds of diamonds, glowing in the sunlight. My unhappy mouth turned into an ear-ear smile and I laughed.
I cried out, “Thank you, Lord. You knew I needed to see a glorious sight like this.” My heart lifted, and I forgot all about the depression for that day. I’ve always referred to this little miracle as “My Field of Diamonds from God.”
I hope it brings a smile to you too.

ZABCIKVILLE, Texas — The Ocker Brethren congregation is reeling this morning following a fire that badly damaged their church on Thursday night.
Volunteer firefighting crews from Troy, Rogers, Westphalia and Rosebud all responded to the blaze just east of Temple on Hwy 53. Temple Fire and Rescue also sent two units and 6 personnel to the scene as well as law enforcement and Temple EMS.
The fire was quickly extinguished and most of the damage was to the back wall of the church and the attic. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Bell County Fire Marshall's Office.

The event takes place Monday, April 1, at Yosemite Hall at the California Endowment downtown on Alameda Street in Chinatown.
Candidates expected to appear include those running for City Attorney – incumbent Carmen Trutanich and Mike Feuer.
The two people vying for City Controller to replace mayoral candidate Wendy Greuel: Dennis Zine and Ron Galperin.
And several city council candidates who advanced to runoffs will represent at the event as well.
From Districts 1, 6, 9 and 13.
Organizers say the forum will bring together neighborhood residents and associations to ask candidates about their vision for the city.
The event starts at 8:30 and will wrap up by around 4.
Organizers encourage you to RSVP, because they say space is limited.

The biggest Facebook fundraising campaign in history - started by a California couple - has so far raised more than $5 million. Every dollar from this campaign goes to RAICES and their work to provide immigrants legal aid.
That's the response at the RAICEs office in San Antonio. Online donors gave to a Facebook fundraiser hoping to give the group $1,500. Now the fund stands at more than $5 million and growing.
"Regardless of political party, so many of us are distraught over children being separated from their parents at the border," fundraiser founders Charlotte and Dave Willner said in a statement.
For RAICES, this money means making a real impact in the lives of immigrants across Texas.
"We have a bond program where we help people pay for their bonds and we have another program where we're trying to help represent everyone we can, so this money will totally help with that,” attorney Christian Sanchez said.
Sanchez works for RAICES, sponsored by Texas Access to Justice Foundation.
The Justice Department's Zero Tolerance Policy has put immigration in the national spotlight, as images of families being separated and children being kept in cages in South Texas have gone viral. The policy has a real impact on the job their attorneys are doing.
"It can make the job more difficult, but the great thing is we've been able to hire more people or get more people help with the money that's been donated,” explained Sanchez.
Right now their team is focusing on making the best out of the national attention they're getting.
More people have shown up to volunteer and donate money. These attorneys want the public to know they're thankful and hope to do the most good for the people they represent.
"Using that money in ways that will make a real impact on the situation and help a lot of people and we hope that attention on this issue continues past the news cycle,” said Sanchez.

Every object, every creature, every man, woman and child has a soul and it is the Destiny of all, to see as God sees to know as God knows to feel as God feels, to be as God Is. — Meister Eckhart
Grace is one of our greatest superpowers. Grace is letting things unfold, without judgment. You truly unlock your freedom when you give yourself and others permission to be perfect, even with all your seeming imperfections.
Grace is the opposite of judgment. Judgements are quite dangerous because what you judge you can no longer understand. Change is the only constant in our universe and when you judge something or someone you make a static decision that never changes.
What does better look like? Making new decisions everyday about yourself, situations, and other people. This is acceptance versus resistance. Resistance brings up tension and stress which lead to overwhelm and dread. Acceptance opens us to ease peace and flow.

NYC LeSS Meetup with Craig Larman (Video Recording)
For those who haven’t heard Craig speak, or attend one of his training sessions, the best way I can describe him is that he’s the honey badger of change consultants, he just doesn’t give a, well you catch my drift. There aren’t a lot of weasel words or marketing fluff. Just the simple facts as he sees them. These facts, a description of reality really, can be challenging to hear at times. It’s why you often hear folks giggling uncomfortably in these sessions when Craig says something stark. The thing everyone should understand is, he’s not joking. So pay attention.
Although these sessions only run an hour or so, there is enough content to fill a book, literally. The concepts go deep, and the skills and tactics mentioned in a few sentences can take years to master and fully understand (things like systems modeling, for example). Here are just a few items that stood out to me during this particular session.
I like to think of this scale issue from the standpoint of process improvement. In process improvements focused on cycle time, improving the performance of individual processes is unlikely to improve end to end cycle time much if at all. Just messing with the procedures is just as likely to elongate the cycle time as it is to reduce it. The queues and delays between are the story. It’s the structure of the process that must change, not the pieces. Same for organizations. This is a very difficult message for folks to hear if they are not in the mahogany lined offices on the top floor. You can improve locally, and that is all well and good, and I’d advise it, because moving forward is the only way to survive, but it won’t solve your organization’s problems.
The market for deep change
I’m not sure how many companies there are but I found online that the total listed companies across all stock exchanges is around 45,000. This is wrong, no doubt. It excludes private companies (some of which can be very large even in countries with deep financial markets where listed would be advantageous), and many of those 45,000 companies are likely rather small. But given that number, we’re looking at one percent of listed companies as being open to real, fundamental, change. That’s a sad state of affairs, but there are deep-seated reasons that there is so little appetite for change at the power center of companies.
Without a profound sense of urgency deep change doesn’t happen. Until leaders are backed against the wall with a real crisis, they are loath to upset the very system that has provided so much. Most large organizations are elegantly designed to provide a steady stream of only what the boss wants to hear. Everyone down the chain of command is in on the game as well, so they want to play by the rules as well. Any information that is raw, real, and innovative is squeezed of real value before it ever gets to the board room. This all feeds very nicely into the strong confirmation bias we all have. It’s very near a closed-loop system in many organizations I’d wager, recycling the same excuses over and over again.
Problems are provoked with fake change
Is it hopeless?
Certified LeSS Practitioner – Feedback From The Room
Summary by a featured guest-blogger, Agile Coach and Certified LeSS Practitioner – Soledad Rivero.
Definitely, participating in Craig Larman’s CLP training has fundamentally raised the bar for me, as a change agent, Scrum Master and Agile Coach. I managed to incorporate new concepts that will not only help me in my current situation, but will also be handy for many years to come. During this course we dont get into a deep dive of LeSS experiments (there are more than 600 of them and for that, there are 3 books that provide guidance, with examples and practical techniques in different chapters). Instead, in this course we had a very unique 3-day experience with Craig, as he taught how to design your organization in a systemic way, thinking systemically, seeking to optimize the whole and not just locally. This course broke my mindset and perception and then put it back together again. It opened up my mind, giving me more tools, and energy to keep changing things.
As Craig said in class: “to be an agent of change in an organization you need a lot of patience and big amount of sense of humor“. It will not be easy, but for sure it will be worthy. Thanks again for amazing learning opportunity!

Vermeer shows European brush chipper
By Murray Pollok26 March 2013
US compact equipment, landscaping and drilling machine specialist Vermeer shows a wide range of new products at Bauma, including the BC230 brush chipper developed specifically for the European market.
The BC230XL, which fills a gap between its BC160 and BC1000 models, has a 23 cm by 35.5 cm in-feed opening size and weighs 1980 kg. This places it between the 16 cm BC160 and the 30 cm BC1000. Built in the US, the new unit is powered by a 49.2 kW stage IIIB Kubota diesel engine.
The company makes a range of mini skid steers, the latest of which – launched late last year – is the S450 TX, adding to the existing 650 and 800 models.

Coconut Palm Sugar is one of Nature’s most incredible sweeteners! It derives from wonderfully delicious nectar, collected from the flowers of the coconut palm tree. In the Philippines, the coconut tree is referred to as the “tree of life” and in India as “the tree, which provides all the necessities of life’’. Organic Traditions Coconut Palm Sugar is sustainably sourced, unbleached and minimally processed. Once the sweet caramel nectar is collected from the flowers it is dried and crystallized into fine sugar-like granules, resulting in the perfect note of sweetness. Organic Traditions Coconut Palm Sugar is sustainably grown, minimally processed and unbleached. There are no fillers, flavours, preservatives, chemical inputs or cane sugar added, just 100% pure Coconut Palm sugar - Certified Organic, vegan, kosher and gluten-free.
Simply substitute any recipe that calls for conventional sugar, honey or agave with the same amount of coconut palm sugar. Add it to teas, coffees, cacao drinks and smoothies. Use it for baking, superfood desserts, breakfast cereals, yoghurt or on top of a bowl of berries. Add Organic Traditions Coconut Palm Sugar to anything that requires a sweet note. Make a simple delicious and refreshingly tangy lemonade by combining 1-2 teaspoons of Organic Traditions Coconut Palm Sugar with ½ tsp. of Organic Traditions Camu Camu Powder, 250 ml of cold water, stir and enjoy.
Organic Traditions are committed to supporting farmers who are dedicated to the principles of sustainable agriculture and fair trade. With traditional superfoods of many indigenous cultures from around the world, Organic Traditions provides certified organic herbs, superfruits and seeds, healthy essential fats and low-glycaemic natural sweeteners as well as probiotic smoothie mixes, herbal smoothie boosters, antioxidant rich fruit powders, drink mixes, detoxifying greens, cereals and blends in order to provide every nutritional cornerstone to help you live the healthiest and most vibrant lifestyle.

It's Deni with you today,
I would like to share with you a card I created using The Horror stamp set. For starters you can purchase the stamp set here https://www.kindredstamps.com/products/the-horror.
I started by stamping down my sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock, I then stamped the same sentiment onto some full adhesive post it notes (this is what I use for my masking technique) I used my EK Success Cutterbee Scissors to cut the sentiment out of the post it note.
I popped the mask of the sentiment down over the one I had stamped then stamped both my images over the top, it did mean the sides of the two images you could not see because they are masked off but It's exactly what I wanted.
Once I had the images stamped out I coloured them using Copic Markers.
I cut a smaller piece of white cardstock and repeat stamped "The Horror" sentiment to create my own patterned paper, so easy to do and I just did it by sight rather than ruling it up.
I ran the image through my Sizzix Big Shot using a Stitched Circle die, I actually carefully cut around the knife first and popped it to the outside of the die so it did not get cut off when I ran it through.
I used Ranger Tea Dye Distress Ink, just the normal ink not the Oxide and a mini ink blending tool to carefully ink around the outside of the image piece and the hand made patterned paper. I also had this black patterned piece in my leftovers tray which I had cut to size and I inked the edge of that also.
I cut a piece of American Crafts Black Cardstock to use as my bottom mat layer.
Once I was done I folded down a Couture Creations Card Base using a bone folder. I wrapped a piece of black ribbon around the patterned papers using Scotch ATG, then adhered those layers to the black and then adhered them all to the card base. This is my Card complete. I did decorate the inside to match but I don't film all that :-)
Please head over and watch my You Tube Video here of the card process.
Don't forget to grab the stamp set here https://www.kindredstamps.com/products/the-horror

King’s College Choir has been awarded a silver play button for reaching 100,000 subscribers on its YouTube channel. The choristers, right, celebrated with a picture in front of the Chapel, holding the glamorous award.
The Choir reached 100,000 subscribers just before Christmas 2021, and since then has added another 20,000 fans to the total. Some of the most popular videos include Allegri’s Miserere Mei, and John Rutter’s All Bells in Paradise, which was commissioned by King’s for the inaugural album on the new record label in 2012. More than 10 million people have watched the Choir’s April Fool from 2014, in which the choral scholars purport to use helium to reach the top note in the Misere Mei. (In fact, no helium was used in the making of the video.)
Artists from beyond the Choir also feature on the channel, including alumni Thomas Trotter and Richard Gowers on the Harrison & Harrison organ, cellist Guy Johnston, harpist Parker Ramsay, and singers Mark Stone, Lawrence Zazzo and the King’s Men. Beyond the realm of performance videos, there is a guide to Bach’s St Matthew Passion, introductions to Byrd, the sackbutt and cornett, and to organ voicing, and interviews with Michael Dennis Browne and Judith Weir.
In 2022, the choristers of King’s released their own series of adverts to promote becoming a chorister.

Did you know we have a cookbook club?
Sep 09, 2022
It all started in the dark days of 2020 when in-person events, including our Talks & Tastes series with our friends at the 92nd Street Y, almost disappeared. We looked for a fun and meaningful way to continue connecting the 92NY community with great cookbooks and their authors, and our cookbook group was born.
Well, what started as a pandemic pivot is now a beloved community of food enthusiasts and cooks who gather seasonally to explore cuisine, culture, and food history with our very own Annette Tomei.
Each season, Annette and Matt select a theme and four cookbooks that they think will challenge and delight participants with special attention to new releases. This online program is run by 92NY on their new platform, Roundtable.
Registration includes copies of all four books, cooking "assignments" and supplemental material from Annette, and four live 90-minute discussion sessions led by Annette with occasional guest authors and chefs over the course of 8 weeks.
Our current season begins on Tuesday, October 18, 2022 at 7 pm Eastern. The theme is The Diverse Flavors of Latin America. Registration is currently open. If you miss this seasons enrollment, you can follow along here on this blog for bi-weekly reports on each book.
Previous seasons' themes include:
- Classic and Modern
- Farmers Market Cooking
- Flavors of New York
- Cooking Off the Beaten Path
- Legendary Women Cookbook Authors, Part I
if you'd like to read up on previous seasons, please visit Annette's blog on Wander Eat and Tell where she has written about every book the group has cooked from so far... starting HERE.

Laser hair removal may appear simple for some people, but it can be quite involved for others. This is especially true for those with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Excessive hair growth is a symptom of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition that affects as many as five million American women of childbearing age.
Due to increased male hormone levels, hair becomes coarser and darker in color, especially on the face, chest, and back. Laser hair removal is one of the most permanent ways to remove hair.
Other options include plucking, shaving, and epilation. Dr. Shereene Idriss, a board-certified dermatologist at Idriss Dermatology in Manhattan, says that PCOS-related hair growth can be stopped by treating the underlying cause of the hormonal imbalance. While having therapy, you may experience an increase in hair growth.
While quick fixes like shaving, tweezing, and waxing can help minimize the look of excess hair growth in the near term, those with PCOS may have naturally dark and dense hair, making the regrowth look more like stubble. Electrolysis or laser hair removal is two long-term options that have been advised for women with PCOS-induced excessive hair growth.
It's important to note that people with PCOS typically need more laser hair removal sessions than those without the illness. This is because of the simultaneous rise in hair count and hair growth. If you have PCOS, Dr. Idriss says you may require more laser hair removal treatments to see the desired results, but the treatment is still useful.
Hair Removal Laser Treatment for PCOS
Women whose hair growth has accelerated due to polycystic ovary syndrome can benefit from laser hair removal. People with low self-esteem because they have too much facial and body hair may find that this treatment not only makes a big difference in how they look right away but also makes a huge difference in their quality of life. Women with PCOS may need more laser hair removal treatments than other women to attain their desired results. Typically, 10–12 treatments are necessary for the body, while 12 or more are often necessary for the face.
What To Expect From Results
Several women with polycystic ovary syndrome have found that laser hair removal is effective. The growth of facial hair is one area where this may be true. Lasers can't permanently remove hair, but they can make it finer and lighter to grow back much more slowly. Keeping the hair growth at a minimum may necessitate maintenance treatments every 12-15 weeks.
How Come PCOS Hair Removal Treatment Takes So Long?
A laser cannot treat an imbalance of hormones within the body. Due to its superficial nature, laser hair removal cannot eliminate all hair. Hair growth is resilient and persists with PCOS. When a certain number of laser treatments have been completed (and hair growth has been reduced to one's satisfaction), it will be necessary to keep the effects from reversing.
There is no set number of treatments or frequency of therapy because everyone's hormone profile is unique. Still, most people must touch up their facial hair every 8–12 weeks, even if other body parts need less maintenance.
If you struggle to control your PCOS or excessive hair growth, remember you are not alone. Several solutions exist to assist you in realizing your inner splendor and self-assurance.
Laser hair removal, electrolysis, and other hair removal procedures exist, but it's crucial to find the one that's best for you. Don't let stray hairs prevent you from enjoying your best life. Learn to appreciate your special brand of stunningness and take charge of your PCOS treatment and management.

KPMP investigators recently published the collaborative paper " A Multimodal and Integrated Approach to Interrogate Human Kidney Biopsies with Rigor and Reproducibility: Guidelines from the Kidney Precision Medicine Project" in Physiological Genomics.
Co-lead author, and co-chair of the KPMP Pathology & Molecular Integration Committee Tarek Ashkar (Indiana University) notes "The Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP) is an endeavor to generate 3-dimensional (3D) molecular atlases of healthy and diseased kidney biopsies using multiple state-of-the-art OMICS and imaging technologies across several institutions. Obtaining rigorous and reproducible results from disparate methods and at different sites to interrogate biomolecules at a single cell level or in 3D space is a significant challenge that can be a futile exercise if not well controlled. We desperately need best practices and guidelines as large amounts of data are being collected from tissues using different technologies and from multiple institutions to make a well informed healthy and disease atlas."
Co-lead author and chair of the KPMP Tissue Interrogation Site Approval Committee(TISAC) Sanjay Jain(Washington University St. Louis) commented that "The described KPMP quality control pipeline realizes the power of combined analyses of well-vetted and curated data from different technologies. It ensures rigor, reproducibility and complementarity to generate molecular atlases of healthy and disease kidneys that can impact patient care, while extracting maximum data from a limited amount of tissue. The framework established serves as a paradigm for similar atlas efforts and precision medicine projects of other organs systems and diseases and a guide to investigators to generate high quality and reproducible data from limited tissue."
The breadth and depth of expertise needed for build a “Follow the tissue” pipeline required a coordinated building brick by brick effort. As described in the paper it required building an infrastructure in concept and action by an interdisciplinary team. One of the challenges was to have consortium members from different institutions come together and speak the same language and focus on the larger goal of creating a process that produces trackable high quality data ultimately beneficial to the patient. The various team members including patients, recruitment site study coordinators, repository staff, technicians, data and software teams, trainees, junior investigators, administrative staff, bioinformaticians, clinicians, pathologist and the PIs stood up to the challenge and shouldered responsibilities and delivered. Sanjay Jain adds that he has never seen an effort like this lift off the ground in such a short time despite limited resources.

Brown and white paper bags with a transparent window made of paper or plastic film are especially popular for packaging bakery products. Paper and perforated plastic film allow the bread to "breathe", so they are especially suitable for fresh hot bread, which does not get „moist“ in the paper as it does in plastic bags. We can also offer those kind of paper bags for packaging of baguettes.
We produce standard bags from brown kraft (MG) paper, paper widdow or plastic fim, certified for direct contact with food. All types of these bags can be made without a window. We can also offer your own printing from all 4 sides (front, back, gussets).
Bakery bags with paper windows are 100 % degradable, compostable and recyclable. Those paper bags also meet the standards that will be introduced by the European Union in the near future.
If you intend to use more fatty products such are donuts, we can also make those paper bags in greaseproof paper instead of kraft paper.

Nucleobindin precursor protein, which was identified for the first time in the human and mouse cell lines, is known to have two isotypes, nucleobindin 1 (NUCB1) and nucleobindin 2 (NUCB2) (Miura et al., 1992; Kanai & Tanuma, 1992; Barnikol-Watanabe et al., 1994). This precursor protein contains multiple functional domains including a signal peptide on the N-terminal side, a leucine/isoleucine rich region, a DNA binding domain and a putative nuclear targeting signal, while the second half contains two Ca2+-EF-hand motifs and a leucine zipper motif in the C-terminal region (Barnikol-Watanabe et al., 1994). However, NUCB2 only functions physiologically in humans and rodents (Miura et al., 1992). NUCB2 produces nesfatin-1 (residues 1-82), nesfatin-2 (residues 85-163), and nesfatin-3 (residues 166-396) by the enzyme pro-hormone convertase (PC)-1/3 after putative post-translational processing. Until now, a physiological activity has only been demonstrated for nesfatin-1 (Oh-I et al., 2006; Stengel et al., 2012a). The nesfatin-1 molecule is composed of three domains: N-terminal (N23), middle part (M30) and C-terminal (C29). The M30 active core appears to play the key role in the induction of physiological effects of this peptide, and especially in its anorectic responses (Pałasz et al., 2012).
Central Expression of Nesfatin-1
Nesfatin-1 is initially known to be expressed in the rat hypothalamic nuclei for ingestive behavior regulation such as the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), supraoptic nucleus (SO), arcuate nucleus (ARC), lateral hypothalamic area (LHA), zona incerta and the nucleus of the solitary tract in rats (Oh-I et al., 2006). Furthermore, nesfatin-1 also exists in the additional hypothalamic nuclei, pituitary, cerebrospinal fluid and brain stem, including rostral raphe pallidus (rRPa), Edinger-Westphal nucleus (EW), locus coeruleus (LC), ventrolateral medulla (VLM) and the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve (Brailoiu et al., 2007; Chen et al., 2012; Foo et al., 2008; Fort et al., 2008; Goebel et al., 2009a; Goebel et al., 2011a; Kohno et al., 2008; Stengel et al., 2009c; Stengel et al., 2010b; Xu et al., 2009). Interestingly, nesfatin-1 immunoreactive neurons co-localize with a number of brain transmitters, such as the melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH), cocaine-and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART)/pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), mammalian target of rapamycin (m-TOR), vasopressin, oxytocin, neuropeptide Y (NPY), Agouti-related protein (AgRP), somatostatin, growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), thyrotropinreleasing hormone (TRH), corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and neurotensin (Brailoiu et al., 2007; Foo et al., 2008; Fort et al., 2008; Inhoff et al., 2010; Kohno et al., 2008; Li et al., 2012; Maejima et al., 2009; Okere et al., 2010).
The various studies were performed about the central action of nesfatin-1. The initial report showed that the post third ventricular (3v) or fourth ventricle (4v) injection of nesfatin-1 decreases dark phase food intake in freely fed rats (Oh-I et al., 2006). Similarly, injection of nesfatin-1 into the lateral brain ventricle (intracerebroventricular, icv) of ad libitum fed rats reduced the dark phase food intake and controlled the water drinking (Shimizu et al., 2009a; Stengel et al., 2009a; Stengel et al., 2010a; Yosten & Samson, 2009; Yosten et al., 2012). Likewise, microinjection of nesfatin-1 directly into the PVN also suppresses the dark phase food intake in male rats (Maejima et al., 2009; Stengel et al., 2009a).
Nesfatin-1, which is released from the POMC/CART neurons, directly inhibits the NPY/AgRP neurons, causing their hyperpolarization, through the ATP-dependent potassium channels Kir6.2. There are some suggestions that the hyperpolarization of orexigenic ARC neurons can be a key phenomenon in anorexia, induced by nesfatin-1 (Price et al., 2008). Another study provided compelling evidence for the involvement of an oxytocin pathway in nesfatin-1’s inhibitory effect on food intake. An oxytocin receptor antagonist injected into the hindbrain at the level of the 4v blocked the food intake reducing effect of nesfatin-1 injected into the PVN (Maejima et al., 2009). Likewise, an oxytocin antagonist injected icv blocks the food intake suppressing effects of icv nesfatin-1 and α-MSH (Yosten & Samson, 2010). On the other hand, these pathway of nesfatin-1’s anorexigenic action is independently with central leptin signaling as suggested by the finding that nesfatin-1’s central food intake reducing effect is retained in leptin receptor deficient rats (Oh-I et al., 2006).
Some studies demonstrated that central nesfatin-1 may play a role in the response to stress, such as abdominal surgery, inflammatory stimulus, intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide and eating disorder (Bonnet et al., 2009; Dayas et al., 1999; Goebel et al., 2009b; Merali et al., 2008; Okere et al., 2010; Stengel et al., 2010b; Stengel et al., 2011; Xu et al., 2010). These findings are based on the result of that icv nesfatin-1 exerts a CRF receptor-dependent effect in food intake and the central distribution in forebrain, hindbrain and spinal autonomic nuclei, along with the expression of nesfatin-1 in CRF neuron (Foo et al., 2008; Stengel et al., 2009a). In addition, the brain activation by stress is associated with the co-localization of nesfatin-1 immunoreactive neurons and brain transmitters, such as a neurotensin, urocortin and serotonin (Stengel et al., 2009a).
Recent two studies reported that effects of nesfatin-1 as an anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic peptide in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)-induced rats (O¨zsavci et al., 2011; Tang et al., 2012). These findings suggest that nesfatin-1 exerts neuroprotection in SAH-induced injury in rats by inhibiting neutrophil infiltration and nuclear factor kappa-B-dependent inflammatory responses. Furthermore, nesfatin-1 may lessen caspase-3-mediated neuronal cell apoptosis after traumatic brain injury (O¨zsavci et al., 2011; Tang et al., 2012).
Peripheral Expression of Nesfatin-1
Large amounts of the nesfatin-1 expression were detected in the digestive organs as well as the hypothalamus and brainstem. In particular, nesfatin-1 is markedly expressed in the pancreas, stomach and duodenum of rodent and canine (Gonkowski et al., 2012; Iwasaki et al., 2012; Mohan & Unniappan, 2012; Osaki et al., 2012; Stengel et al., 2009c; Stengel & Taché, 2012; Zhang et al., 2010).
In the pancreas, nesfatin-1 is located in rat islet betacells (Gonzalez et al., 2009) and secreted by high glucose stimulation in vitro (Foo et al., 2010; Gonzalez et al., 2011a). A certain study has reported that intravenous administration of nesfatin-1 has anti-hyperglycemic effects in hyperglycemic db/db mice (Su et al., 2010). However, this reduction in blood glucose levels was not observed in non-hyperglycemic animals and appears to be insulindependent (Gonzalez et al., 2012a; Su et al., 2010). Furthermore, nesfatin-1 enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in mouse pancreatic beta-cells and rat pancreatic islets (Gonzalez et al., 2011b; Gonzalez et al., 2012a; Nakata et al., 2011). This effect is known to be mediated by an increase in intracellular calcium through L-type calcium channels (Nakata et al., 2011). Both calcium free saline and the L-type calcium channel blocker, nitrendipine, inhibit nesfatin-1 potentiation of insulin secretion in the presence of glucose. The mechanism by which nesfatin-1 enhances GSIS is unclear, however, it may be independent of the signaling pathways of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), GIP and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) (Nakata et al., 2011). In accordance with the glucose-dependent insulinotropic effects of nesfatin-1 in vitro, an oral glucose tolerance test in ad libitum fed rats infused with nesfatin-1 produced significant increases in circulating insulin levels (Gonzalez et al., 2011a; Gonzalez et al., 2012a). Most recently, a certain paper reported that the icv nesfatin-1 results in increased insulin signaling through Akt kinase (Akt)/AMP kinase (AMPK)/target of rapamycin complex (TORC) 2 pathway, suggesting a potential mechanism for increased insulin sensitivity (Yang et al., 2012). These reports provide the evidence that the presence of nesfatin-1 within the pancreatic islets may be associated with glucose homeostasis.
In addition, nesfatin-1 immunosignals are mainly localized in mucosal endocrine X/A-like cells of the stomach, within a distinct sub-population of vesicles different from those containing the orexigenic hormone ghrelin, suggesting differential regulation and release of ghrelin and nesfatin-1 (Li et al., 2012; Stengel et al., 2009c; Stengel & Taché, 2010). The fasting for 24 h decreases NUCB2 mRNA expression in gastric mucosa and significantly reduces nesfatin-1 plasma revels in rats (Stengel et al., 2009a). Furthermore, nesfatin-1, which is released from the synaptic endings of the vagus nerve, has an impact on secretory and motor activity of the gastrointestinal tract and regulates the course of digestive functions (Goebel et al., 2009a; Stengel et al., 2009b; Xia et al., 2012). Interestingly, a recent paper has been demonstrated that pretreatment with capsaicin (to block autonomic C fibers) abolished the food intake reduction caused by peripheral nesfatin-1 injection. These findings indicate a putative role of vagal afferents in peripheral nesfatin-1 signaling to the brain centers (Shimizu et al., 2009c).
To date, a few studies have focused on nesfatin-1 in the human digestive system. Circulating levels of nesfatin-1 were significantly reduced in fasted type-2-diabetic patients compared to healthy subjects and type-1-diabetic patients. In addition, intravenous infusion of glucose significantly elevated basal nesfatin-1 levels in healthy adults (Li et al., 2012). However, circulating nesfatin-1 levels were not altered under an oral glucose tolerance test (Tsuchiya et al., 2010). Interestingly, circulating nesfatin-1 levels were significantly lower in patients with restricting-type anorexia nervosa (Ogiso et al., 2011). These results demonstrate that nesfatin-1 expression in the digestive organs is regulated by nutritional status, suggesting a potential role of peripheral nesfatin-1 in energy metabolism.
Nesfatin-1 was detected in the adipose tissues of humans and rodents, showing that it was expressed more in the subcutaneous than in the visceral adipocytes (Ramanjaneya et al., 2010). In experiments with fat cell lines, nesfatin-1 expression increased exponentially during the process in which the fat progenitor cells differentiate into the mature fat cells (Ramanjaneya et al., 2010). The fact that high nesfatin-1 concentrations are found in the blood of people with high body mass index (BMI) suggests that nesfatin-1 secreted from fat may regulate food intake independently, rather than relying on leptin (Aydin et al., 2009; Li et al., 2010; Ogiso et al., 2011; Ramanjaneya et al., 2010; Shimizu et al., 2009b; Yamawaki et al., 2012). Most recent two reports showed that NUCB2 enhances the suppression of adipose differentiation as a positive modulator of epidermal growth factor (EGF)-dependent signals (Tagaya et al., 2012a; Tagaya et al., 2012b).
A few studies have demonstrated that nesfatin-1 protein are expressed in the heart, as a cardiac peptide (Angelone et al., 2012; Mimee et al., 2012; Yosten & Samson, 2009). Nesfatin-1 directly affects myocardial performance, possibly involving particulate guanylate cyclase-linked natriuretic peptide receptor A (pGC-linked NPR-A), pGC/the protein kinase G (PKG), and extracellular signalregulated kinases1/2 (ERK1/2) pathway (Mimee et al., 2012). In particular, nesfatin-1 protects the heart against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and this protection involves multiple prosurvival kinases such as PKC, ERK1/2, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, and mitochondrial KATP channels (Mimee et al., 2012). These results pave the way to include nesfatin-1 in the neuroendocrine modulators of the cardiac function, also encouraging the clarification of its clinical potential in the presence of nutrition-dependent physio-pathologic cardiovascular diseases.
Expression of Nesfatin-1 in Reproductive System
To date, a few studies have focused on nesfatin-1 in the mouse reproductive system. It is not clear yet whether nesfatin-1 is expressed in the mouse reproductive system and if the binding site of nesfatin-1 protein exists in the reproductive organs. Several studies demonstrated so far that the nesfatin-1 expression and its binding sites are found in the male and female reproductive organs.
Several recent studies showed the expression of nesfatin-1 in the male reproductive system of human and rodent (García-Galiano et al., 2010; García-Galiano et al., 2012; Kim et al., 2011a). In the testis, nesfatin-1 was localized in the interstitial cells, including the Leydig cells between the seminiferous tubules (Fig. 1A). Leydig cells produce and secrete testosterone, androstenedione, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) by cholesterol desmolase by which cholesterol changes to pregnenolone after stimulation of LH secreted from the pituitary (Akingbemi et al., 2004). LH receptors on Leydig cell membrane play a critical role in the steroidogenesis and the number of them is increased by prolactin resulting increasing LH-mediated response (Dufau, 1988). Leydig cells are also known to produce oxytocin and vitamin C (Kukucka et al., 1992), suggesting that they may play as local regulators to control the function of Leydig cells. The fact that Leydig cells express nesfatin-1 protein proposes that nesfatin-1 also has an important role in testicular function as one of local regulators similar to other proteins present in the testis. On the other hand, nesfatin-1 binding sites were displayed at boundary cells in the tunica albuginea of the testis (Fig. 1B). These results support that paracrine signaling by nesfatin-1 between the Leydig cells and the boundary cells of tunica albuginea may regulate the steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis. In addition, we demonstrated that large amounts of nesfatin-1 expression were detected in the mouse epididymis as well as the testis (Kim et al., 2011a). Immunohistochemistry results displayed that nesfatin-1 was expressed at the columnar epithelium (Fig. 2A). Nesfatin-1 binding sites were also localized at the columnar epithelium (Fig. 2B). The fact that columnar epithelial cells in the epididymis express both nesfatin-1 protein and its binding sites proposes that nesfatin-1 may play a role as a local regulator by autocrine signaling to regulate the sperm maturation and motility. Furthermore, nesfatin-1 expression levels of the testis and epididymis were increased by the gonadotropin injection (Kim et al., 2011a). This result demonstrates that nesfatin-1 produced in the male reproductive system is regulated by gonadotropin secreted by the pituitary like other proteins produced in the testis under gonadotropin control.
In this year, Gonzalez et al. (2012b) demonstrated the expression of nesfatin-1 protein in the fish ovary and hypothalamus, suggesting the regulatory effects of nesfatin-1 on the hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis of fish. In the ovary of goldfish and zebrafish, nesfatin-1-like immunoreactivity was detected in the follicle cells encircling the oocytes. In addition, a single intraperitoneal injection of synthetic goldfish nesfatin-1 resulted in an acute decrease in the expression of hypothalamic GnRH and serum LH levels (Gonzalez et al., 2012b). Furthermore, our previous papers have shown that nesfatin-1 and its binding sites are expressed in the female mouse reproductive organs (Kim et al., 2010; Kim et al., 2011b). In the ovary, nesfatin-1 was expressed in the theca cells, interstitial cells, and some of oocytes. Interestingly, the granulosa and cumulus cells around the oocytes were stained with nesfatin-1, but not the corpus luteum (Fig. 3A). On the other hand, nesfatin-1 binding sites were detected in the theca cells and interstitial cells around follicles (Fig. 3B). These results suggest that nesfatin-1 may play a role as a local regulator via autocrine and paracrine signaling to regulate the steroid-ogenesis and energy homeostasis in the ovary. In addition, nesfatin-1 was localized on the epithelial cells of endometrium and uterine glands in the uterus (Fig. 4A). Nesfatin-1 binding sites were displayed in the epithelial cells of uterine glands and neutrophils in the endometrium (Fig. 4B). Neutrophils are known to play an important role in the collapse and recovery of the endometrium (Kaitu'u-Lino et al., 2007). During estrous cycle, neutrophils move from blood into endometrium and the number of them are dramatically increased in the estrous phase (Sonoda et al., 1998; Steffl et al., 2010). Based on these reports, the finding that nesfatin-1 binding sites were localized on the neutrophils suggests that uterine function may be regulated by nesfatin-1 to attract neutrophils from blood into the endometrium and activate them. In addition, we previously demonstrated that nesfatin-1/NUCB2 expression in the uterus is regulated by estrogen, but not gonadotropin. Its expression levels were significantly increased in the ovariectomized mice treated with 17β-estradiol, whereas the mice treated with PMSG showed no difference compared to non-treated mice (Kim et al., 2011b). These results suggest that nesfatin-1/NUCB2 expression in the uterus may be regulated by estrogen secreted from the ovary, but not gonadotropin released by the pituitary gland.
Nesfatin-1 protein produced by neurons in the hypothalamus is known to be secreted into cerebrospinal fluid, be controlling appetite and energy metabolism (Oh-I et al., 2006). Recently, it has been reported that nesfatin-1 is expressed in digestive organs such as the stomach and pancreas (Stengel et al., 2009c) and in adipose tissues (Ramanjaneya et al., 2010). To date, little is known about the expression of nesfatin-1 in reproductive system. However, several recent studies demonstrated that nesfatin-1 and its binding sites expressed in the reproductive organs, including testis, epididymis, ovary and uterus. These results suggest that nesfatin-1 as a new potent regulator in the male and female reproductive organs may regulate the steroidogenesis and gonadal function. Further study is needed in order to elucidate the exact function of nesfatin-1 in the reproductive system.

HELENA — Congress has passed bipartisan legislation that will allow the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide COVID-19 vaccinations to any veteran, veteran spouses, caregivers, and Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs recipients.
The VA had previously only been able to vaccinate enrolled veterans and VA staff.
The legislation was spearheaded by Senate and House Veterans’ Affairs Committee leaders, Chairman Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Ranking Member Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Chairman Mark Takano (D-Calif.), and Ranking Member Mike Bost (R-Ill.).
“Unanimous passage of our bipartisan bill means we’re one step away from ensuring that every veteran, spouse, and caregiver in this country has access to a vaccine from VA,” said Chairman Tester. “This legislation is a critical step in reaching our common goal of saving more lives and getting our economy back on track as quickly and safely as possible. I thank Senators Moran, Boozman, Blumenthal, and our House colleagues for joining me in our effort to provide veterans and their families with the protection they need to get through this pandemic, and I urge the President sign this bill into law without any delay.”
The bill is now headed to President Biden’s desk with the hope that he will sign it into law next week.
“Military service is family service, and that is why the VA and this committee aim to care for both veterans and their families,” said Ranking Member Moran. “I urge the President to quickly sign this legislation into law to make certain the VA has the freedom to vaccinate veteran spouses, non-enrolled veterans, caregivers, overseas veterans and others with excess COVID-19 vaccine supply. While the VA will continue to prioritize vaccinating VHA enrolled veterans with its allocation of the COVID-19 vaccine, this legislation will help further protect our veterans and their families.”
On Saturday, Mar. 20, the Montana VA Health Care System (MTVAHCS) is partnering with the Montana Army National Guard to conduct its largest COVID-19 vaccination clinic to date at the National Guard's Aviation Readiness Center near the Helena airport.
Saturday’s Moderna vaccine clinic has 1000 spots available and is open to any enrolled veterans for a first-dose vaccine shot no matter their age or health status.
Walk-in vaccines for enrolled veterans will be available from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, but MTVAHCS says the best way to confirm a spot is to call 877-468-8387 to set up a vaccination appointment themselves.
“These additional vaccines are great news for hundreds of veterans across Montana,” said Tester. “VA has proven it can quickly deliver vaccines where they’re most needed, and I’m proud to have worked with the Administration to secure this week’s allocations. I’ll keep pushing to get more shots into arms, so that we can help save lives and get all Montanans through this pandemic.”
There have been 50 vaccine clinics across 14 communities MTVAHCS has held for veterans since late December. Although limited by supply, MTVAHCS has provided over 12,500 COVID-19 vaccines to Montana Veterans.

Andrew is a master figurative painter. Born in 1965 in the City of Pokrovsk, Russia, Andrew became part of a gifted child program at the Children’s Art School there, and was later accepted at the St. Petersburg Academy of Art, one of the world’s most prestigious art schools. In 1999 Andrew spent the entire year in the U.S. He was invited by “Bay Arts,” a New England based group, to take part in their exhibitions and activities. According to Andrew, “The year in America gave me more as an artist then all eight years of my formal studies.” After seeing Royo and Pino at Art Expo 2000 in New York, he chose the direction his art would take. Since then, Andrew has worked with dealers from Western Europe and the US, exhibiting and selling his paintings in galleries in Carmel, Scottsdale, Palm Desert, Las Vegas, Hawaii and Salem, Oregon.

You promised that this would be the last time
You said that the bruises and the pain i felt would be a distant memory
Well here we are again looking in the mirror
Trying to piece together in my imagination
that the blood and tears that I see is just an illusion
I trusted you and love you
And I was so outta of your view
Time and time again I gave of me
while you stood there and took
You took away my innocence
You violated my trust
Just so you could bust
Now here I am not about to see a man
without envisioning your thrust and touch
Now my mind is programmed to never trust a man
or a woah man damn you really fucked me up
And these aren’t the words of a grown man
But the words of a young buck
See I was molested and violated and I’ll be forever scared.
But if I can heal from it then so can... you
I know it’s not easy bro to open up and heal from the pain, but my brother my sister hold on cause guess what you will out live the pain.
Hang on my brother my sister for help is on the way,
If you put your trust in god he will always lead your way.
He will lead you to the still waters and he will restore your soul and always remember surely goodness and mercy shall follow you.

I'm a PhD student in LAMSADE computer laboratory, affiliated with CNRS, at Dauphine-PSLUniversity. Within the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence group MILES, I am working on Causal Inference, revisited in the light of the latest advances in machine learning.
After obtaining my master's degree in electronics at ENSEA, I completed a master's degree, co-habilitated with ENSAE ParisTech, in statistical information processing, at MIDO departement, of Dauphine-PSL University.
Today, I aspire to participate in research and technological innovation through R&D DeepTech projects, to develop a breakthrough innovation with a high technological content.
More informations: My online resume.
Supervised by Ph. Jamal ATIF and Florian YGER, my research focuses on Causal Inference estimation, from algorithms using standard mathematical models and Deep Learning methods.
Causal Inference, which determines the causal link between a cause and an effect, is developing in multiple fields, such as medicine, marketing and economics. The aim is not only to predict a phenomon, but understand it. For example, in language translation, beyond a dictionary-based translation that is studied in classical machine learning problems, causality identifies the causal link between words to understand a unknown langage no dictionary exists.
Cancer is one of the major causes of death in the world and 19.3 million new cases have been diagnosed in 2020, including 4.4 million in Europei. Today, multiple treatments exist, but they have the disadvantage of being heavy and expensive. The objective is therefore to predict the most appropriate treatment, according to the specific features of the patients and their pathology.
MyTreatment is a DeepTech project that use advances in Artificial Intelligence to support personalized medicine and prescription of cancer treatments, through Deep Learning algorithms.

Peter Garside bought his first Land Rover in 1967, this was not a shrewd investment, and he immediately bought his second one, which he used for spares to keep the first going !
The spares left over from the second Land Rover were sold on to local farmers and the like and so the seeds for the Land Rover Centre were sown. He was soon trading Land Rovers from his home at Wood Nook Farm, and during the early 70’s the business flourished. But the council complained, and so a permanent site was required.
He searched high and low for suitable premises and eventually transferred the business to a wooden shed on the present site. This met his exact requirements, as it was big enough to fit several Land Rovers in, but more important was only 30 bob a week ! Land Rover Centre went from strength to strength, leading the market in refurbished Land Rovers.
In 1980, fire destroyed the wooden shed (which was uninsured due to it being made of wood) and this was replaced by the fine York stone building that you will see here today.
Land Rover Centre has led the way, and grown with the four wheel drive market, and now employs 17 staff. We supply Land Rovers to every corner of the United Kingdom, and export to over 20 countries world wide. Our vehicle buyers travel the length and breadth of the UK, looking to buy the nicest cleanest Land Rovers available, but probably only 1 or 2 out of ten will meet our standards.

More than 80 percent of a child’s learning is based on vision. In fact, one of six children diagnosed with a learning disability actually has a correctable vision problem.
Taking your child to an eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam is the most important thing you can do for your child’s health.
An eye doctor can complete this test even if your child doesn’t know their ABCs. An eye doctor can use shapes, animals and other child-friendly ways to evaluate vision and eye health. A complete eye exam is required to determine visual-performance problems; vision screenings offered by family doctors or schools, for example, are limited in evaluating a child’s overall eye health. Many serious eye conditions don’t have obvious symptoms; a thorough eye exam by an eye doctor is the only way to know for sure.
Routine eye examinations are an MSP benefit for people under the age of 19.
Below you will find some great resources for parents and teachers and great “Eye Fun” for your child!

Quite simply, latinas have emerged since the nothing more than intimate items as well as end up being meaningful as soon as we are continuously merely illustrated such as this
Adrian Lee, played from the Francia Raisa, in the “The trick Life of a western Teen,” is actually a latina reputation that is sexualized on account of the girl ethnicity.
Into the for every element of one’s Explorer in 2010 , the new Editors-in-Chiefs will receive a line reflecting the operate from Assortment, Guarantee and you will Addition (DEI) close to Hudson, together with factors doing DEI affecting HHS pupils. We hope this column features the students and you will personnel from Hudson which might be attempting to make a significant difference and construct a good most readily useful, way more inviting people for all. The initial article, compiled by Ana Berrios, is all about Hispanic Culture Month and just how brand new mass media illustrates latinas from inside the neighborhood now. This might be an article but in the future the fresh column was function-type of stuff.
Hispanic Tradition Few days is actually an occasion seriously interested in recognizing and you can celebrating the countless contributions, cultures and you can histories of your own latina area. That have festivals and covers it special area, furthermore a period intent on delivering attention to the brand new battles hispanics manage into the an everyday basis in this nation. It should be understood one almost one fourth off latines work within the reduced-salary operate in the U.S, as well as on mediocre, latinas in the us is actually repaid forty-five% lower than light people and you can 29% less than white ladies.
This type of statistics demonstrate that there was obvious discrimination incorporated into the newest job options off The usa. Hispanics or any other minorities deal with this type of injustices on account of stereotypes put-on you disallowing me to end up being managed because fairly because the average white boy. Just like the a hispanic who may have directly taken care of this subject, I understand one to stereotypes try degrading and you can injuring most of the more youthful latinas. In working https://datingmentor.org/hongkongcupid-review/ with this issue, getting good sense and you can speaking of the mass media and you may film business and then make this specific stereotype slightly appropriate is the 1st step on switching just how more youthful latina ladies see by themselves, and to the watching ourselves worth over how we are seen by anyone else.
The fresh media, films, and television shows provide the better of examples depicting women that is oversexualized only along with their ethnicity. Constantly hispanic ladies are depicted since the amazing, indicating more cleavage or using rigorous attire, ill-tempered or feisty, curvy and you can hourglass which have larger tits and you will butts. Really scarcely can we come across actresses who do not fit to the these types of kinds and it’s really a humiliating build to cope with. Some examples of stereotyped latina stars within the flick were- Salma Hayek, Jennifer Lopez, Sofia Vergara, Ana Ortiz, Jessica Alba and more. This roles set for these types of women can be the fresh new beautiful and you can exotic wives, (Sofia Vergara toward Progressive Nearest and dearest or Salma Hayek towards the Grownups), hot maids (Salma Hayek), otherwise naughty prostitutes (Jessica Alba). A lack of often do we see positions that fit outside these types of kinds and usually latinas have-not direct jobs. The one day I have seen a hispanic actress enjoy an essential part within the a program are Francia Raisa whom performs Adrian Lee within the “The trick Longevity of the latest American Teen.” Within this tell you Adrian is defined once the flustered and you will intimate, open on sexual activity and also clearly contrasts another light woman characters who’re way more “proper” in their sex life and you may dresses. This tell you was one of several first shows symbolizing a beneficial hispanic lady, and also as a hispanic me personally, We noticed disgusted and you may unrepresented at the. I opposed me personally so you can Adrian and you can asked whether or not my figure try sufficient to suit the newest label. We believed I wanted to act much more feisty otherwise flirty for the acquisition become approved given that a hispanic by my personal co-workers since the We understood they seen latinas in this way only. I wanted to change myself on account of just what I have seen latinas end up being starred as with video and tv reveals out of a highly young age. I did not learn upcoming that the flick business hypersexualizes hispanic spots.
Men sexualizing me personally more than my personal ethnicity are never problems and you can encountering these issues are particularly shameful
For the a survey did by the Annenberg College off South Ca it found that “nudity or indicating exposed body between the mid bust and you can top leg area ranged of the competition/ethnicity, but latina ladies (37.5 %) were likely to be than just women out-of some other events becoming found partly otherwise completely nude to your display.” In the wide variety, this new statement found that thirty six.1 percent from Latina emails were depicted inside the sexualized dresses (Light girls – thirty two.dos per cent; Black women – twenty-four.6 per cent; Asian women – 23.six percent; most other racing/ethnicities – twenty-six.1). These types of numbers and you may roles including profile descriptions all are influenced by flick administrators and it can easily be altered giving latina ladies most readily useful symbolization into the whom we really are.
On the film business currently deciding to indulge in the difficulty there is also the fresh new media and this overshares the fresh new label on the social networking. Tiktok, Instagram, and also Pinterest is large examples of navigations portraying the new stereotyped and you may sexualized latina people shape. TikTok films are going to be hazardous having founders informing latinas the way they should skirt otherwise lookup, and you can Instagram/Pinterest postings express photos of idolized finest-muscles, brown-haired, and you will brown-eyed hispanic girl. Once we see the same sorts of people on the web or perhaps in video more than once, an effective stereotyped image of exactly what a man should look for example is then etched inside our heads. Due to this fact latinas out-of places such Venezuela otherwise Mexico who are not off brownish tresses, tan epidermis, and you may curvy shape become missing and so are asked regarding their ethnicity constantly. It causes interrogations which should not be indeed there from the why we latinas do not operate a particular ways otherwise choose to not ever feel sexual. In my own personal experience, I have came across so many so many interrogations into the why my human body does not match the brand new label. It can make insecurities that would be with ease avoidable with additional image from latinas in other suggests than just are named intimate stuff. Latinas tend to be more than just what mass media portrays me to end up being and i promise in the future quicker latinas provides to handle these problems with greatest symbol in the amusement community.

Protection For Your Loved Ones.
Our loved ones are the most important relationships in our lives. We are here to help make sure your loved ones are protected today and to ensure a plan is in place to protect them tomorrow.
What is Guardian Advocacy?
When a person with a developmental disability turns 18, that person's parents or caregivers no longer have legal authority to make decisions for him or her. Guardian Advocacy is a process for family members or caregivers of individuals with a developmental disability to obtain the legal authority to act on the disabled person's behalf after he or she turns 18 if the person lacks the decision-making ability to do some, but not all, of the decision-making tasks necessary to care for his or her person or property.
A court can appoint someone to be a Guardian Advocate of the person, a Guardian Advocate of the property, or a Guardian Advocate of the person and the property. A Guardian Advocate is obligated by ethical and statutory rules to make decisions in the disabled person's best interest.
Who is Developmentally Disabled?
A person must be “developmentally disabled” to qualify for Florida’s Guardian Advocacy proceeding. Florida law defines who is “developmentally disabled.” Under Florida Statute §393.063(12), a developmental disability means a disorder or syndrome that is attributable to:
An intellectual disability (IQ less than 70);
Phelan-McDermid syndrome; or
The disability must manifest before the age of 18 and must constitute a substantial handicap that can reasonably be expected to continue indefinitely.
Not everyone with a developmental disability needs a legal guardian. A Guardian Advocate is necessary if the person lacks the decision-making ability to care for their person or their property.
How is Guardian Advocacy Different Than Traditional Guardianship?
The procedure for obtaining Guardian Advocate rights is different than the procedure for obtaining guardianship rights over an adult that is not developmentally disabled. Guardian Advocacy is a streamlined proceeding that allows the court to appoint a Guardian Advocate for a disabled person without a formal proceeding to adjudicate the disabled person “incapacitated.”
Instead of appointing an examining committee to perform examinations and file reports and then holding a hearing to decide whether the person is “incapacitated,” the court can accept existing documentation, such as medical reports and individual education plans, as evidence of the disabled person’s need for a Guardian Advocate.
When Can You Ask to Be Appointed Guardian Advocate?
A disabled person's parents are his or her natural guardians until the person turns 18. No Guardian Advocate needs to be appointed during most of a disabled person's childhood.
A parent or other qualifying caregiver can petition to appoint a Guardian Advocate any time after the disabled person is 17 years and 6 months old. In other words, the petition can be filed six months before the person’s 18th birthday. This allows enough time to make sure the Guardian Advocate is appointed before a child reaches the age of majority and becomes a legal adult.
If a minor child’s natural guardians become unable to serve as the custodians of a minor child, the court can appoint a legal guardian to assume responsibility and care for the child. A minor guardianship may be necessary when a minor child’s natural guardians are no longer able to care for the child due to death, disability, incarceration, or otherwise.
Who Can Serve as a Guardian in Florida?
Although family members most commonly petition for guardianship of a minor, generally any competent adult who is a resident of Florida may serve as a guardian. For Florida residents, there is no requirement that the guardian be a relative of the minor. A non-resident of Florida may serve as a guardian if he or she is directly related to the minor or is a legally adoptive parent of the minor.
Who Cannot Serve as a Guardian in Florida?
Florida law prevents an individual from serving a guardian if any of the following apply:
- The person has been convicted of a felony;
- The person is incapable of discharging the duties of a guardian due to incapacity or illness;
- The person is otherwise unsuitable to perform the duties of a guardian; or
- The person has been judicially determined to have committed abuse, abandonment, or neglect against a child.

Putting Our Knowledge And Experience To Work
Pedestrian Accident Lawyers
Ohio & Northern Kentucky Pedestrian Accident Attorneys
When you’re involved in a traffic accident, the results can be devastating, but when the accident involves a motor vehicle striking a pedestrian, this is especially true. As more individuals are opting for the environmentally friendly and health-conscious travel option of walking, they’re putting themselves at risk of being involved in a pedestrian accident.
The injuries you can sustain from a pedestrian accident are usually severe since nothing protects you from the motor vehicle’s massive force and weight. These injuries can cause extreme mental anguish and leave you with medical bills from extensive medical treatments and lost wages due to missed work during the recovery, all leading to financial losses.
You deserve to be financially compensated if you’ve been injured in a pedestrian accident. The personal injury attorneys at TLF: The Medical Injury Law Firm have over 100 years of combined experience representing clients in Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Our pedestrian accident lawyers understand the complex process surrounding a personal injury lawsuit and will fight for you to receive the compensation you deserve.
What is Considered a Pedestrian Accident?
Pedestrian accidents are any accidents that involve a motor vehicle colliding with a pedestrian. Even a person riding a horse or sitting in a wheelchair hit by a vehicle is considered a pedestrian. As such, any accident involving a person and a motor vehicle of some sort is considered a pedestrian accident.
Data published by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) estimated over 8,900 pedestrians were killed in traffic or non-traffic accidents in 2021. This is an increase of 80% from 2009 when pedestrian fatalities were at their lowest. Non-traffic accidents are considered any accident that occurs in areas such as parking lots, driveways, or other private property.
If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian accident, you have the right to file personal injury claims if the accident was caused by negligence. Many pedestrian accidents can lead to catastrophic injuries that can leave you with a mountain of medical bills and more expenses. It’s important to reach out to an experienced Kentucky pedestrian accident attorney to understand what compensation you could be entitled to.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents are most often caused by negligence on the part of the driver or third party. Even though traffic signals and pedestrian crossing signs are there to help drivers be aware of surrounding pedestrians, accidents can still happen.
When drivers are negligent, they can miss a pedestrian with a clear right of way and cause severe and even fatal injuries. Some of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents are listed below:
- Distracted driving: When a driver is doing anything other than focusing 100% on the road and driving, it’s considered distracted driving. This can be anything from talking on the phone, changing radio stations, looking at maps, putting on makeup, and more. Focusing on another task for even a second can have terrible consequences.
- Driving while impaired: Drivers that get behind the wheel under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol put everyone around them at risk. Driving while impaired can cause a driver to ignore traffic signals, make wrong turns, and even drive on crosswalks, all leading to catastrophic injuries to a pedestrian. If you’re out walking at night, remaining aware of any impaired drivers is important.
- Speeding: When a driver is speeding, they may not have enough time to stop for a pedestrian. Speeding can also increase the severity of the injuries that the pedestrian sustains.
- Ignoring traffic laws: When drivers ignore traffic signals or make illegal U-turns, they can cause pedestrian accidents. For example, failure to yield at a pedestrian crosswalk can lead to injured pedestrians. Drivers that don’t make a complete stop can also cause pedestrian accidents.
- Driver inexperience: Inexperienced drivers can cause pedestrian accidents due to the fact that they aren’t as familiar with the signs and signals to be aware of when driving near pedestrian crossings. The longer a person drives, the more familiar they become with pedestrian crossing signs and what to be on the lookout for.
- Not slowing down in school zones: When drivers fail to go the school zone speed limit, children can be at risk of being in a pedestrian accident. Being aware of school zones and maintaining reduced speed is key to keeping children safe and avoiding injuries.
- Left-hand turns: Drivers making left-hand turns can accidentally hit a pedestrian since their focus is on oncoming traffic, forgetting to look out for pedestrians. In fact, data collected by New York City’s transportation planners found that pedestrians are three times more likely to be hit by a driver making a left turn than a right one.
Common Types of Pedestrian Injuries
Pedestrian accidents almost always lead to catastrophic injuries, as nothing protects them against an oncoming vehicle. The most common types of pedestrian accident injuries are:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): Traumatic brain injuries are common in pedestrian accidents since they don’t wear protective headgear like motorcyclists and bicyclists. A blow to the head, when a pedestrian is struck by an oncoming vehicle, can have life-altering consequences.
- Spinal cord injuries: Like the brain, the spine can suffer severe injuries when a motor vehicle hits a pedestrian. The spine is a delicate part of the human body, and any type of collision injuring the spine can lead to serious injuries, including paralysis.
- Broken bones: Even the impact of a slow-moving vehicle can lead to broken bones due to the massive weight of the motor vehicle.
- Internal injuries: Even if a pedestrian doesn’t show outward signs of being injured, they could have suffered internal injuries to major organs. Internal bleeding and damage to organs like the heart and lungs can lead to significant complications, including death.
- Amputation: When a pedestrian is injured in a car accident, the injuries can be so severe that they lead to amputations of the injured body parts.
- Road rash and road burn injuries: These injuries are on the less severe side of pedestrian accident injuries, but they can be extremely painful and require extensive medical treatment. They can also often lead to scarring.
- Wrongful death: In extreme pedestrian accident cases, the injuries can lead to wrongful death.
If you’ve suffered any of the above injuries due to driver negligence, you need an experienced Kentucky pedestrian accident lawyer from TLF: The Medical Injury Law Firm. To discuss your personal injury claim with one of our pedestrian accident lawyers, call our office today to schedule a free consultation today.
Why You Need a Pedestrian Accident Attorney
The legal process surrounding a pedestrian accident can be complicated. The driver’s insurance company will often do everything in its power to avoid paying for damages. Insurance companies also try to lowball victims’ compensation amounts, leading to the injured party receiving less than the fair compensation they’re entitled to.
In addition to working with the at-fault party’s insurance company, the pedestrian accident lawyers at TLF: The Medical Injury Law Firm will help you prove that the negligence of another caused your injuries. If necessary, your Ohio or Northern Kentucky personal injury attorney will take your case to court so that you can receive fair compensation for your injuries.
To prove your negligence claim, your TLF pedestrian accident lawyer will:
- Work with law enforcement to investigate your accident and review the police reports.
- Evaluate witness testimony and protect any other evidence surrounding your accident.
- Review your medical records that include treatments you received following your accident and any ongoing medical treatment you may need. Depending on what the medical records show, including the severity of your injuries, can determine the amount of compensation you could receive.
- Negotiate with both your insurance and the driver’s insurance company.
- Pursue lawsuits against those responsible if necessary.
At TLF, We Help Pedestrian Accident Victims Pursue Compensation for Their Injuries
Injuries sustained in a pedestrian accident can often be severe and change a person’s life. Even with minor injuries from a pedestrian accident, the victim can still deal with medical expenses and lost wages due to missing work during the recovery process. More severe injuries like spinal injuries and head injuries can leave a person with permanent damage and can even lead to paralysis. No matter how significant your injuries were from a pedestrian accident, you deserve financial compensation.
The pedestrian accident lawyers at TLF: The Medical Injury Law Firm will help you recover the following damages for your injuries.
- Past and future medical bills
- Lost wages
- Physical therapy
- Medical devices and mobility aids, like wheelchairs, canes, walkers, etc.
- Loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Funeral and burial expenses if the injuries result in wrongful death claims

Surviving family members of the deceased are entitled to certain damages from a wrongful death claim.

Sir Nevill Mott Lecture 2023: The Dark Energy of Quantum Materials
The Sir Nevill Mott lecture series at Loughborough was inaugurated by Nobel Prize laureate Sir Nevill Mott in 1995. Sir Nevill kindly permitted his name to be associated with an annual public lecture series to be given by distinguished invited speakers.
The 2023 Sir Nevill Mott lecture will be given by Professor Laura Greene and will be entitled The Dark Energy of Quantum Materials. Professor Laura Greene is the Marie Krafft Professor of Physics at Florida State University and Chief Scientist at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. She is recognised for her outstanding research on high-temperature superconductivity and is a world-leading expert in her field. Professor Laura Greene is also a strong champion for diversity and has been very active in promoting equal rights for women and minorities throughout her career. In her lecture Professor Laura Greene will present her distinguished research topic and then talk about her career in Physics.
The Dark Energy of Quantum Materials
Professor Laura H. Greene
National MagLab and Florida State University
The many correlated electron problems remain largely unsolved after decades; with one stunning success being BCS electron-phonon mediated conventional superconductivity. The Cooper pairing mechanisms of the dozens of families of unconventional superconductors, including the high-Tc cuprate, iron-based, and heavy fermion superconductors remain elusive and quite varied. But some of their fundamental characteristics are strikingly similar, including their ubiquitous phase diagram, with intriguing, correlated electron (non-Fermi liquid) phases that break the symmetry of their underlying lattice at temperatures well above Tc. These correlated phases remain among the greatest unsolved problems in physics; and I will present an analogy stressing that. I will start with a little bit of my story and an overview of the US National MagLab, and finish with some of my own recent work identifying a possible new pairing mechanism in a heavy-fermion superconductor.

How do we make decisions? Depending on the size of the company or program, that answer tends to be very involved. Turning the question on me, I would reply with a number of different metrics: Cost, Political issues, technical worthiness, and so on… The problem is that none of these options are equally weighted. What I also find is that – depending on the day – those metrics change! Call it a bad memory, a bad day, or what-have-you, but it’s true and I’m not the only one.
One of the more valuable strategic management tools I’ve found is called the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM). The QSPM is a quantitative tool which allows several options (strategies, proposals, whitepapers, etc) to be ranked on various weighted metrics. We will reference the following QSPM template in the explanation:
Step 1: Define the Metrics
In the left column you’ll notice a list of common metrics by which we’ll judge all our options. The first step is obviously defining these metrics. If you’re lucky enough to be the single decision maker, you can take some time for reflection and really think about what your decisions consist of. However, you’re likely going to be working on this with a committee, which may be a challenge. (Getting people to work together is beyond the scope of this post!)
Step 2: Weigh the Metrics
Each decision you make is a 100% decision. You can’t make a half decision or a 90% decision. When you make a decision, it is always 100%. This is the purpose of the Weight column. In step 2, you will weigh each metric relative to each other. When you’re done, these weights should total 100%. For example: if I only have 3 metrics: Personnel Required, Cost, and ROI, I might choose to weight these metrics 20%,30%,50% respectivley. This says that half of my decision is based on ROI, 30% is Cost, and the remaining 20% is the Level of Effort. (notice these add up to 100%). In my QSPM template, you will be warned if you exceed 100%
Step 3: Rate your Options
You now know your metrics and how important they are in making a decision. It’s now time to begin rating your options based on these metrics. You’ll notice two columns under each option: Attractiveness Score (AS) and Total Attractiveness Score (TAS). The AS is a ranking of each option based on a single metric. In the sample spreadsheet, you’ll notice that for the “Cost of Option” metric, Option E is much more attractive that Option F. (Note: you cannot duplicate AS numbers in each row. There is no tie! Aske the question “If I can only do one option based on this metric, what would it be?”).
When you’ve completed all the AS rankings for each option and each metric, the spreadsheet will weigh each AS score into the TAS column. This is simply the product of the AS of the option and the weight of the metric.
Step 4: Analyze the Results
At the bottom of the QSPM you will total your TAS numbers for each option. The hightest value is the most attractive decision to make based on all you weighted metrics! But be cautious… Small differences between options may not justify a rational decision! If the differences are .05, for example, you have noted that GIVEN THE CURRENT WEIGHTING one option is marginally better than the other. At this point you may want to reevaluate the weights or potentially add/remove metrics.
Is this the one-and-only way to make decisions? Certainly not. Some decisions must be made right away and leave little time for analysis. But if you have the time, it’s certainly worth it. But…Be Prepared…Some of the interesting things you may find include: 1) You’ve made some bad choices 2) You’re not entirely sure what constitutes your decision making metrics 3) You’re not sure metrics are more important than others 4) probably more!
As with all planning and strategic management, it is ESSENTIAL to revisit the QSPM when options are added/removed, when your environment changes and alters your metrics (or scale), or as your opinion of each option changes. Strategic management is not a static process!

Cases & Controversies
The Shawshank Reputation By John Swansburg
The Shawshank Reputation
A decade after its theatrical release, why is The Shawshank Redemption still so popular?
WHEN HE FIRST SAW THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION back in 1994, Mark Kermode, the author of a slim new volume on the movie, "had no sense whatsoever that it would become many people's favorite movie." It certainly didn't have the makings of a favorite-to-be. Its director, Frank Darabont, was a rookie whose most significant achievements had been writing the screenplays for the remake of The Blob (tag line: "Terror Has No Shape") and the sequel to the remake of The Fly. Darabont had adapted the screenplay for Shawshank from that rarest of rarities, an unpopular book by Stephen King, an author whose grocery list would be a bestseller if someone thought to publish it. Ever since the success of Brian De Palma's Carrie, King has been a juggernaut in Hollywood as well. Fifty-eight movies have been adapted from his writing, not as many as from Dickens, but more than from any other living author. His first television series, Kingdom Hospital, billed as a combination of ER and The Shining, premieres in March. As King humbly notes in his introduction to the published screenplay of Shawshank, "When asked why I had been so successful as a novelist, Bill Thompson, my first editor, said, 'Steve has a projector in his head.' I don't (it would be very bulky, for one thing, and would make it impossible to get through airport metal detectors), but sometimes it does feel that way."
Yet even King didn't think Shawshank stood a chance at the box officeand he was right. Though the movie got good reviews, and seven Oscar nominations, Shawshank in its original release grossed only about half of the $35 million it cost to make.
The movie came back from the dead on video. It was the top rental of 1995, and its popularity has not much abated since. The new Zagat film guide, for instance, rated it higher than Annie Hall and a little picture called Citizen Kane. The movie is currently ranked second on the Internet Movie Database's Top 250 movies poll, behind only The Godfather. No other King movies, and no other prison movies, are even near the top. Kermode's new book sets out to answer the question, "What gives?"
The Shawshank Redemption is based on "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption," a novella that King published in a collection called Different Seasons. It was a different kind of story for King, and Shawshank would be a different kind of movie for Darabont. In place of a rabid St. Bernard, this story's villain is a prison. Its hero is Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a banker from Portland, Me., imprisoned for murdering his wife and her lover.
Darabont keeps his distance from his hero, though, as Andy seems to prefer his own company. His story unfolds through the narration of Red Redding (Morgan Freeman). He's the guy you go to for contraband: alcohol, tobacco, girly posters. Other than a shot establishing the indiscretions of Mrs. Dufresne, just about the only women we see in the movie's 142 minutes are the ones on those posters. "The Sisters," a gang of rapists who take a shine to Andy, don't count.
As it turns out, Andy is innocent: Some crazy named Elmo Blatch is the one who did the killing. Andy's an even-keeled guy (he calls the prison's sadistic warden "obtuse," but only when he's really pissed off), yet doing hard time for a crime you didn't commit would probably get to anybody, eventually. Andy, we learn at the end of the movie, has been taking his aggression out on his cell wall; using a rock hammer, an item that looks like a pickaxe for a My Little Miner action figure, he's been making a tunnel. He conceals the hammer in his warden-issued Bible, and hides the tunnel behind the series of movie posters that adorn his cell: first Rita, then Marilyn, and finally Raquel.
Kermode thinks movies are the key to Shawshank's appeal, and he makes much of the moment when Andy asks Red to acquire the Rita Hayworth poster for him. "This sequence," he writes, "is crucial (perhaps even central) to the strange allure of The Shawshank Redemption." Andy orders the poster as a full house of prisoners takes in a screening of Gilda. "What we see," Kermode says, "is a picture of men at worship, entranced by the magical light which dances above their heads, momentarily removed . . . from the grim meat-hook realities of Shawshank prison."
To Kermode, the message of the sequence is that movies "can transform the nature of one's surroundings, taking us out of the here and now and transporting us to the Elysian fields of the imagination, making us again free men." He posits that the movie reinforces this notion of cinema's power through its symbolism. Where does Andy take his stand against the Sisters? Why, it's in the projection room, where he delivers two face-rearranging blows to his attackers using the only weapon handya canister of 35-millimeter film! And don't forget that it's the movie posters that conceal the progress of Andy's tunneling. In the end, Kermode writes, Andy "will literally step through a movie poster to freedom."
In terms of interpreting the director's intent, Kermode may be on the moneythe screening of Gilda and the escape through the movie poster are Darabont's interpolations. In King's story, the prisoners are watching Billy Wilder's The Lost Weekend, a classic, yes, but Ray Milland's love affair with Johnny Walker is a far cry from the ménage à� trois at the center of Gilda. And it's a poster of country's Linda Ronstadt, not Raquel Welch, that presides over Andy's escape in the novella. But do these motifs explain the movie's popularity? Are the denizens of Blockbusteror the 760,000 people who tuned in when Shawshank was recently screened for the gazillionth time on cablereally drawn to it because it's a movie about the escapist power of movies? If so, why isn't Get Shorty just as popular?
THE FIRST TIME THEY MEET, in the prison yard, Andy asks Red how he got his name. Red pauses thoughtfully. "Maybe it's because I'm Irish," he says. It's one of the movie's only laugh lines (unless you're partial to chief guard Hadley's invocations of "mouse farts" and "monkey spunk"), and Freeman delivers it choicely.
In King's story, Red is an Irishman, but Darabont, to his credit, recognized that Freeman was right for the role. In Freeman, Darabont found an actor capable of making maudlin lines ring, if not true, then not as tinny as they could have sounded if the movie had starred Tom Hanks or Jim Carrey, the headliners of The Green Mile (also by King and also set in prison) and The Majestic, Darabont's subsequent clunkers. And Darabont does give his actors some ponderous material to work with. "Some birds aren't meant to be cagedtheir feathers are just too bright," Red says in a voiceover, perhaps because the director couldn't get a take of him saying it with a straight face.
Robbins, for his part, has a gift for conveying a lot without saying much, as he recently demonstrated again in the critical darling Mystic River, another New England gothic tale. (And, incidentally, another movie in which the best, perhaps only, joke comes courtesy of the casting department: Dennis Lehane probably didn't have Laurence Fishburne in mind when he dreamed up Detective Whitey Powers.) When Red first sees Andy on the yard, he picks him to be the first "fresh fish" to cry for his mama that night after lights go out, but Andy doesn't make a peep, and his quietude persists throughout the movie, providing the ballast for Red's bluster.
Freeman and Robbins have both said that the relationship between Red and Andy"a sort of love," in Freeman's wordsis at the heart of the movie's appeal. Robbins believes Shawshank has continued to find an audience because "it's a film in which you actually see a relationship between two men which isn't based on car chases, or scoring some women, or some kind of 'caper.' "
Affecting movies about a friendship like Red and Andy's are uncommon. Riggs and Murtaugh, Tango and Cash, and the many duos they paved the way for, are buddies, not friends. They're oppositescrazy/straight-laced, slick/roughput together for the express purpose of hijinks ensuing. Andy and Red have more of a Watson-and-Holmes rapport, and they're unafraid to show their affection for one another. When Andy gets back from a long stint in solitary, Red has a new poster waiting for him, free of charge. Shortly before Andy's jailbreak, he gives Red a harmonica.
But Robbins gets one thing wrong: Shawshank may not be a caper, but it is an escape movie, and the two genres are of a piece. (Breaking in isn't all that different from breaking out.) The most rented movie of 2003 wasn't My Big Fat Greek Wedding; it was The Bourne Identity, an escape picture starring Matt Damon. To overlook Andy's break from Shawshank is to miss the scenes that are at the heart of the film's popularity.
Andy doesn't just extract himself from the prison; he also exacts revenge on his malefactors, handing The Portland Daily Bugle the scoop about Maine's crookedest prison. Darabont cuts from a shot of the warden taking a gander at the banner headlines in the morning paperand then killing himselfto one of Andy driving to Mexico with the top down, grinning.
Just a little while later, Red goes before the parole board, which we've already seen reject him twice. In the past Red's been deferential, but this time he lets the board have it; he even calls its chairman "Sonny." Improbably, his diatribe earns him what his supplications never did. The movie's morally unambiguous circle is complete: All the bad guys have been vanquished, and the good guys are free to open up Red & Andy's Bait Shop in Zihuatenejo. Everybody loves a happy ending.

If you’re thinking it might be time to make a few improvements to your Poconos-area home—or even if you’re considering building a new home—the Greater Philadelphia Spring Home Show from January 9-11 at the Valley Forge Casino Resort is a great place to get started. Even if you’re in the earliest stages of planning a home renovation project, or thinking about building, there are four reasons you’ll want to attend the show this month.
Dozens of Contractors Under One Roof
There are a lot of things to consider when you begin a home remodeling project. One of the biggest, of course, is choosing the right contractor. It could take you days to research, call, and set up appointments with various remodelers—or you can choose from dozens of carefully pre-selected professionals gathered together under one roof. And there’s no substitute for meeting these contractors face-to-face before deciding which one is the right fit for you.
The Kitchen Showcase
Kitchens are always one of the most popular home remodeling projects because of the impact a new kitchen has on the whole house. The Spring Home Show offers a “show-within-the-show” with The Home Show’s Kitchen Showcase. You’ll get a hands-on look at the latest styles and trends—and be able to talk in person to the craftsmen who can make these dream kitchens a reality in your Poconos home.
Every Aspect of Remodeling in One Place
It doesn’t matter what kind of project you have in mind, you’ll be able to gather information, look at samples, and talk to experts about virtually any kind of remodeling project. Here’s a partial list of the kinds of offerings you’ll find:
Roofing Heating & Air Conditioning
Siding Custom Woodworking
General Contractors Tile & Marble
Gutters Custom Home Builders
Decks Energy Conservation
Sunrooms Hot Tubs
Basement Systems Closet Systems
While we believe that the focus should always be on quality and value, we also know that getting a great deal is important. Many of the participants at the show will offer special “show-only-deep-discounts.” This may be a really good opportunity to pick up some upgrades that you’ve always dreamed of—without breaking the bank.
And if you need even more incentive to check out the show, consider that one lucky attendee will walk away with $10,000 to be used on his or her home project!
Check out the details of the show yourself, or give us a call at 866-496-8746 with any questions you have. We hope to see you there!

Most elderly individuals would much prefer to age in place than to spend their days in assisted living facilities. And who could blame them? We all know that the old adage “there’s no place like home” is absolutely true. When you’re able to live in the comfort of a place that is familiar to you, includes your family members and is where you’ve enjoyed many good memories, life is simply better.
However, the state of one’s home must change to accommodate the ever-changing needs of a senior citizen. Especially when that senior has mobility issues, there are certain measures that must be taken to ensure his/her safety. Arguably, there’s no place that requires the addition of safety measures than the bathroom.
Ensure that the bathroom is easily visible.
This, of course, is especially important at night when most of the lights are off and the senior in your home is most likely to get out of bed to use the bathroom. Night lights and easy-to-reach fixtures will help to ensure that your elderly loved one will find his/her way around in the dark.
APlaceForMom.com also recommends that you use door locks that can be opened from both sides. That way, if the senior in your home wants privacy, he/she can have it. But in the case of an emergency, he/she will not be locked in the bathroom without getting easy access to assistance.
Make bathroom surfaces skid-proof.
The site also points out the ever-important need to place skid-proof mats in the bathtub. We’d also recommend such mats on the bathroom floor so as to significantly reduce the risk of slips and falls.
Citing a recent report, Lynn Desjardins of Radio International Canada reveals that “every day in 2016-2017, almost 1,800 people in Canada went to hospital emergency rooms as a result of a fall…Research by the non-profit Canadian Institute for Health Information also found that every day there were 417 hospital stays of at least one night because of a fall.”
Install grab bars.
Grab bars are also very important additions to bathrooms in the “keeping seniors safe” game. Naturally, they help to support one’s balance. Let it be known that grab bars and towel racks are not created equal. Don’t assume that just because your elderly loved one may have a towel rack to grab on to, that he/she will be safe from falling.
“Grab bars are designed to support people’s weight,” informs Phil Hochhausen of Advantage Home Health Solutions, “By holding on to a grab bar while walking into a bathroom, sitting on or getting up from a toilet and entering or exiting a shower or tub, one can be assured of better balance. With grab bars, the risk of slipping and falling is significantly reduced. Towel bars, by their very nature, are not meant for us to use as support.”
Let’s work together on making your bathroom safer!
At LifeCare Mobility Solutions, we offer a variety of home bathroom modifications that will help to increase senior safety. Modifications can be as simple as changing water faucet handles from knobs to levers or as comprehensive as replacing the shower or bathtub with something more accessible. Of course, we also have night lights and grab bars!
If you have any questions about the bathroom modifications offered by LifeCare Mobility Solutions, please don’t hesitate to call us at 416-267-9800 or email us at email@example.com. You may also contact us by filling out the form on our Contact page!

This Maple Glazed Trout regularly makes an appearance on our dinner table year round. The maple syrup adds a nice Canadian touch, but I really love what trout offers up nutrition wise. Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and high in protein, it’s a no-brainer.
While fresh fish is nice, it’s not always the most convenient. I love buying the individually frozen, vacuum packed trout fillets from Costco, so this recipe is ready to go whenever the mood strikes. Feel free to use fresh garlic and ginger, but again, I’m all about convenience on this one, so I like using the jarred versions.
You don’t have to cook the trout on a cedar plank and can simply place the fish on top of the green onions on a baking sheet. However, I think the cedar adds a nice flavour. Pick up untreated cedar planks at Costco or a local BBQ store.
If you can’t find trout, you can also substitute salmon or Arctic char in this recipe. Serve with mashed potatoes and a green salad.
Maple Glazed Trout on a Cedar Plank
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1 1/2 tsps minced garlic
- 2 tbsps finely grated fresh gingeroot
- 3 tbsps soy sauce
- 4 tbsps fresh lemon juice
- Two bunches of green onions chopped, green parts only
- 2 trout fillets with skin on
- Food-grade cedar plank
In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, ginger root, 3 tbsps of the lemon juice, all of the soy, garlic, salt and pepper and simmers until liquid reduces to one cup. If making immediately pour half of the liquid into a small container and set aside, add remaining tablespoon lemon to remaining half in pan and keep warm while you prepare fish. (Sauce can be made 2 days ahead of time)
Preheat oven to 350F.
Lightly oil cedar plank and heat in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes. If you're not using a cedar plank, lightly oil a shallow baking pan large enough to hold trout pieces.
Arrange green onions in one long layer on plank or in pan to create a bed for the trout.
Place trout, skin side down, on green onions and brush with glaze you set aside.
Roast in the middle of the oven until just cooked through. About 35 minutes if using a cedar plank and 20 if using a baking sheet. Remove from oven and cut into 6 pieces. Drizzle fish with remaining sauce once plated.

Everyone is interested in the Atkins diet and the use of Ketones by the body but there are a number of other ways that can benefit you with your weight loss plan. You can use other methods to improve your body fat and weight ratio and get back into shape. One of the ways to do this is through the use of anti-oxidants.
You may have heard that consuming foods rich in antioxidants can help reduce the fat-burning process. These methods also affect how our body uses fat as energy. Not only can you consume more fruits and vegetables, but there are also a number of natural ingredients available that contain high amounts of antioxidants. The more antioxidants food has, the more it reduces your risk of suffering from any type of heart disease or death from heart disease.
When these fatty acids and antioxidants have come together, it provides you with your energy needs for the day and if you were to consume that same food on a daily basis, it would provide you with all of your energy needs during the whole day. If you add in the fact that you are also using some fats as energy by incorporating various fats such as oils and fats, you have even more to choose from and this means that you can really maximize the benefits of eating these types of foods.
There are a number of alternatives to dieting which can be helpful to your success in shedding weight, but they are not limited to using one or two of these alternative approaches alone. You can include them in your daily diet and also increase your health through the daily use of natural supplements and oils.
Triglycerides are actually fat. These can also be used to calculate your weight and these are present in your bloodstream. The triglycerides should be around thirty grams or higher to be considered healthy.
Glucose and Glutamine are found in both animal and plant sources and are essential for the production of energy. They can be found in animal sources such as lean meats, poultry, and fish.
Red meats are usually lean and contain high levels of vitamins and minerals, but also contain saturated fats and cholesterol. Eating these types of foods is not only bad for your health, but it can also leave you feeling empty because of the saturated fats.
Along with the increased fat of animal sources, the body also produces ketones during the keto diet. Keto refers to the fact that you are going on a low carb diet and using ketones to help you lose weight. These ketones are stored in the liver and converted into acetoacetate, which is a ketone.
Acetoacetate is a unique molecule that is almost identical to glucose in its molecular structure. It doesn’t have an insulin receptor binding site like glucose, but rather, it binds tightly to glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation pathways.
Oxidative phosphorylation is responsible for converting the chemical compound ATP into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The body needs to make fuel for all of the processes that it has going on and this process is one of the major pathways. When the process gets overloaded, the body will produce more ketones as a result of more ATP being produced.
The excess ketones are often excreted by the kidneys and are released into the urine, causing your blood sugar levels to rise and your glucose levels to drop. This is how you lose weight. Your body will switch from using glucose as a source of energy to using ketones for the fact that it wants to lose.

The City of Huntington Woods sits at the southeast corner of Oakland County and is roughly 17 miles northwest of Detroit. Originally part of the Township of Royal Oak, Huntington Woods was incorporated into a village in 1926 and then into a city in 1932.
Huntington Woods is the majority home of the Detroit Zoo, which draws in visitors from all around Michigan. Not only is the Detroit Zoo the home of a wide variety of exotic animals, it also has camps for kids and programs for school groups. The zoo is fun place to go during the warm months, but it’s also open year-round for those who don’t mind the cold.
Golfing at the Rackham Golf Course is another fun activity that the residents of Huntington Woods enjoy. The Rackham was designed by Scottish architect, Donald Ross, a famous golfer and course architect from the early 1900s. He was known for designing challenging courses without the need to excavate much earth. His course is a great place to spend a Saturday afternoon.
If you’d like to learn more about the area, please visit the City of Huntington Woods website here .
The photo at the top of the screen is of a Huntington Woods style addition of ours. We built this beautiful study room as part of an addition on the house. We then installed dark wood shelves and built a picturesque fire place where the homeowner can sit and read by the fire after a long day.
The photo just above is of a Huntington Woods Style bathroom remodel of ours. We built a custom tub deck and installed a tile backsplash around the bathtub. We then extended the tub deck to be used as a shower bench and tiled the shower wall with matching tile.
Contact us to learn more about our remodeling process and how we can help you with your remodeling project.
“I hired Ron to remodel my entire first floor: Living room, Dining room, half bath and seasonal back porch and patio. He is very knowledgeable, patient and resourceful. What I liked the most is that he stayed within my budget without the finished project looking cheap. He educated us on all the options and I never felt pushed or talked into anything. He worked with my idea to turn my living room into a dining room and the back den into an entertainment room and all the details in between. Everything turned out better than I originally imagined. Ron truly has vision and a heart for what he does. He is very connected and hires competent workers to get the job done in a timely manner and they clean up after themselves as well as take precaution to dust diffusion by hanging plastic where appropriate. He is professional about how he handles the contract and pays close attention to detail from start to finish. I never felt confused about anything as Ron explains everything so well every step of the way and he never tried talking us into anything. I’m very pleased with Ron’s work and would recommend him for any contracting job. His experience shows!”
“We were satisfied with the way they handled themselves once they were in the house. And they took care of every little problem.”
– Mary Ellen & Larry

Last night, at Christmas Eve dinner, it was recommended that a few people meet, something that will extend to the rest of the holidays to prevent the pandemic from spreading. But that did not stop us from staying connected with the family, whether through WhatsApp, calls or, as in my case, video calls. A brother and I were commenting on how video games have changed since we went to arcades, and he told me «What was the name of the one that broke balls that were stuck on the ceiling?«, To which I could not answer, but after looking for it, we remember that it was Puzzle Bobble, of which there is an open source version called Frozen bubble 2.
If I have thought about publishing this article here and today it has been for two reasons: the first has been the name, a "frozen bubble" that cannot be denied having a Christmas name. The second reason was simply that it wasn't on LinuxAdictos, which is surprising because it's been around for a long time. As usual, the open source version of Puzzle Bobble intended primarily for the public Linux has changed the protagonist for a penguin, a Tux balls crusher.
Frozen Bubble 2 includes Tux as the protagonist
As for the game itself, whose official page is available at this linkWe can say little that he does not see himself playing 5 minutes. What we have to do is shoot balls, and when we join 3, those 3 will fall and all those that are hanging of them. The default controls are the right to move the shot to the right, the left to go the other way, and the up arrow to shoot; with the F we will enter full screen. As simple as that. And so addictive. Frozen Bubble 2 too allows us to play against a partner, which will become a competition not only to see who goes the furthest, but to see who gets there first. It is basically a clone of the original game, but open source.
Its installation in Linux will depend on our distribution, although it is usually in the official repositories, as explained in the download page from Frozen Bubble 2. There is a general way to install, which is from Flatub, one of the best options for me. Whatever you choose, fun is guaranteed.

We want to take your cluttered home/office space off your hands, it is no longer your issue.
Why have your home or office cleaned?

Rivka Lev, Pediatrics Physical Therapist
For our baby to develop well, reach their maximum abilities, take advantage of the skills they were born with, and maximize their potential, they need suitable environmental conditions.
So, what does that actually mean?
Let’s take, for example, a baby that is on their stomach. The baby is crawling all over the house and ready for the sixth position. They start with straightening elbows and pulling their buttocks back.
Can we help them move to the sixth position by changing the environment?
The answer is yes.
How can we help our baby?
Parents need to think about how to enable the baby to reach this position, instead of just crawling on their stomach around the house. If we pick up all the stimulating elements off the floor, select only one very interesting item, and position it on top of a low stool (which we want them to reach) – we’ll probably succeed.
Try it 😊
Join us at the upcoming live event, taking place on August 13th, to learn more from Rivka Lev and other baby experts.

To be honest, we are both considered concerned parents, probably more than average. We follow our baby closely, his development, and look for ways to improve our care. In fact, up to pre-school he was home-schooled.
Understand the baby’s reason for crying
Over the years we noticed various patterns and situations where things could have been done better. This is probably a thought every parent has, but being a technology-oriented person, I looked for solutions that could help.
For example, we discovered a bit later that our baby is allergic to milk. He was showing discomfort and grumpiness for a while. We later discovered the pattern - the crying always come a half an hour after the meals. This led us to investigate and realize the health issue.
The pattern was there, but the human mind isn’t set to understand delayed cause and effect. These patterns could be easily detected with dedicated algorithms. It left me wishing we could have understood our baby’s reason for crying and detect the stomachache sooner.
Starting the start-up
As time went on, I consulted with friends and family, and the idea developed. I also shared this with Shauli Gur-Arieh and Ami Meoded, who are now my colleagues and co-founders. We all agreed that our technological and business background, along with a real market need, will bring forth a revolutionary product that will make a difference in both baby and parent’s lives.
The product will soon be a reality. We distributed working prototypes to dozens of families - who not only tested it, but also gave great feedback. We are also in touch with a team of experts, including pediatric physical therapists, sleep consultants and others, to ensure both safety and usefulness.
Testing and feedback is an important part of the development process, as we want our solution to be valuable and helpful to parents facing the daily challenges babies bring.
CTO – the work and challenges
In a nutshell, being a CTO in a small start-up means handling any technological part of our product. The huge variety of methodologies/ fields is a great challenge but also a great experience.
The product consists of a wearable device that is placed on a baby’s top, along with an app that shows parents the main insights and tips.
Designing a baby device comes with many challenges. The plastics and shape are designed with safety as a top concern. Food grade materials, gentle curves, and a size that does not curse discomfort, yet are large enough to be swallow proof.
Then comes the electronics. Based on the parents’ feedback, the device will not transmit while on the baby. It has to be smart, and hold significant computation capability in a very small device. That requires sophistication along with cutting edge techniques.
And finally, the algorithms. The place where the real magic happens. Reconstructing the baby's day from the raw data and processing it into meaningful insights is the heart of our company.
Present & future
Right now there are several projects on my desk that aim to enhance our solution:
1. Our new optimized circuit board shows very promising results. With nearly half the size and a combination of a high-performance processor with a low energy consumption regime, This board is a huge jump from the alpha prototypes.
LittleOne.Care is now going into the second and final Alpha Pilot testing in several countries. I am certain the parent feedback will help us improve even more, and I will have a few more technical projects on my desk.

If you've been thinking about learning to bake your own bread, now's the time to try it. Homemade bread can be healthier, tastier and it will make your kitchen smell like your favorite bakery.
"You can taste the nutty, rich flavor of the wheat, the slight sweetness of honey — even the butter or jam you put on it isn't muted by additives in the bread."
Homemade bread also doesn't have any of the preservatives or added sugar you'll often find in the store-bought variety.
Plus, the act of baking bread in itself has benefits. "Actually making something real, special and delicious is a thrill," Reid says.
"Kneading bread is a zen experience for me. Not only does it require my full attention for 10 consecutive minutes (no phones, no keyboards), but the sensory aspect is so relaxing."
Here, Reid shares how to make bread in a few easy steps (no bread machine required) and her go-to whole-wheat bread recipe that features a touch of honey.
What Do You Need to Make Bread?
The basic ingredients for bread are simple: Flour, water, yeast and salt.
Best Type of Flour
You can buy bread flour, which is higher in protein than all-purpose flour and will give you the chewy texture and structure you want in your homemade loaf.
But if it isn't readily available, you can make bread with all-purpose flour (just convert all-purpose to bread flour by adding vital wheat gluten, an ingredient you can buy at health-food stores, or on Amazon.com for $14.79).
If you make bread with all-purpose flour, you can substitute it in a 1:1 ratio for bread flour, Reid says.
"The bread is not going to have the same kind of chew or bite, and it's going to be a bit softer and less spongy without the protein from the bread flour. But you can do it with success."
Whether you use bread or all-purpose flour, Reid recommends going for the unbleached variety. "I think the yeast reacts better to it."
"The freshest flour is the best flour for bread. Fresh flour has more nutrients intact, which feeds the yeast in a much more robust way. It will rise higher and it will taste better."
One thing to make sure of no matter what kind of flour you use is that it's fresh.
"The freshest flour is the best flour for bread," Reid notes. "Fresh flour has more nutrients intact, which feeds the yeast in a much more robust way. It will rise higher and it will taste better."
Most flour comes with an expiration date on the package; check that before you start baking, and replace the flour if it's past its prime.
To keep it fresh, store it in an airtight container in a cool place, such as the back of your pantry (away from sunlight) or keep it in the freezer.
Although you can use different types of flour for bread, self-rising flour is not one of them, Reid warns.
"Self-rising flour has a leavener like baking powder in it and sometimes salt," she says. "It's made with a lower protein version of all-purpose flour, so what you get is a really tender result. You would use it for baking things where you're not looking for gluten development, like in biscuits."
Always measure carefully: Weighing ingredients is the most accurate way to go, Reid notes. “If you’re going to get into bread-baking, invest in a kitchen scale — even an inexpensive one,” she says.
“People tend to put too much flour in because they pack it in, and the correct way to measure flour is to make it very light. When you pack the flour down, you can end up with up to 30 percent more flour in the cup. Over 2 or 3 cups of flour in a recipe is substantially more flour, and your loaf can come out heavy or dense."
By weighing, you avoid this pitfall.
What You Need to Know About Yeast
Freshness is also key when it comes to yeast, Reid says.
Check the expiration date on the packet to make sure it's fresh. If you don't see a date, you can test the yeast in just a few minutes (here's how).
If you find yourself without active dry yeast and your local store has run out, all is not lost. You can make your own yeast, though it takes several days.
All you need is a couple of dried dates, a little bit of sugar, filtered water and a clean jar, according to chef Pablo Puluke Giet. As he demonstrates in this video, you combine all the ingredients in the jar, shake, cover and store in a cool, dark place for four days.
The natural yeast in the dates ferments, and you can use the resulting water in place of dry yeast. Be warned, though: If you use the yeast water, your dough may take longer to rise than with packaged yeast, Giet says.
The final ingredient that you need to make good bread is time.
"I always include time in the list of key ingredients because people are often in an 'instant-rice mode' when they're cooking, but you just can't rush bread. Bread takes as long as it takes."
Knead it well: It can take 8 to 10 minutes of kneading to develop the gluten and get the dough into the shape you want it, Reid says. When your dough is ready, you should be able to stretch it really thin without it breaking. This is known as the windowpane test or gluten test.
“Don’t rush it; think of it as a stress reliever,” Reid says. “Putting a little more love and kindness into your bread gives you a good result. I really believe that.”
A Honey Whole-Wheat Bread Recipe
Yields: 1 loaf
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 ¾ cups warm water (about 110 degrees Fahrenheit)
- ¼ oz (1 packet or 2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 3 ½ cups white whole-wheat bread flour or whole-wheat flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 cup bread flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp coarse salt
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, plus more for bowl and pan
- In a small bowl, stir honey into warm water and then sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In another bowl, stir together flour and salt, and then stir in yeast mixture and melted butter just until the dough forms. Gently knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large buttered bowl, drape with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until dough doubles in bulk, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Punch down dough. Shape into an 8-inch square, about 1 inch thick. Fold in two opposite sides to meet in the middle. Press seam to seal. Place dough seam-side-down in prepared pan. Sprinkle with flour. Drape with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot to 3⁄4 inch above top of pan, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Just before baking, you can lightly brush the top with an egg wash (one whole egg beaten with a little water) and top with seeds or oatmeal. This gives it a nice shine and allows the toppings to stick to the bread. You can also get creative when it comes to topping your bread — try nuts or seeds (like black and white sesame seeds or poppy seeds).
- Transfer pan to oven and immediately reduce heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake, rotating halfway through, until top is golden brown and bottom sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes.
- The inside temperature of the bread will be around 195 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit when ready. Let cool in pan on wire rack for 20 minutes, then turn out bread onto rack and let cool completely.
Bread can be tightly wrapped and kept at room temperature up to three days or frozen up to three months.
Watch your oven temperature: Residential ovens are typically not well-calibrated, Reid says. Wait an extra 10 or 15 minutes after you hear the beep indicating that the oven has reached temperature to make sure it’s truly hot enough.
Also, use an oven thermometer to double-check the temperature, and know your oven’s hot spots by observing how things cook so you can be sure to rotate between a higher or lower shelf or turn the bread around during baking so it bakes evenly, she advises.

HIALEAH, Fla. – Police arrested a 34-year-old man Friday after they say he came up behind a man who was playing a game at a Hialeah arcade and shot him in the back of the head, all while wearing a Halloween mask.
The crime happened just after 9:30 p.m. Friday at the Venus Arcade, located at 3772 W. 12th Ave., police said.
According to an arrest report, Jose Angel Puig Mayol first came into the arcade unmasked and an employee asked him to leave when he couldn’t provide identification.
Police said Puig Mayol returned soon after, this time wearing the mask. They said the employee recognized Puig Mayol as the man she had just kicked out.
The masked suspect walked to the rear of the arcade and shot the victim in the back of his head “as he unknowingly played his game,” the report states.
Surveillance cameras captured the whole series of events, police said.
Police said Puig Mayol fled, jumping through fences of nearby homes and said they later caught him after he had gotten into an SUV parked outside an apartment building at 1475 W. 38th Place in an attempt to steal it.
The report states medics airlifted the victim to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center. It doesn’t specify if or how Puig Mayol knew the victim, or whether police were able to identify a suspected motive.
Puig Mayol, who is homeless, was taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he was being held without bond as of Monday morning on a charge of attempted murder.
The Cuban national also faces two counts of burglary and one count of criminal mischief.

What is the cost of cremation compared to burial?
Is family more important than money? Of course, but financial considerations for the cost of cremation or burial are no small matter, especially when you have limited income and need to keep a close eye on expenses. No matter how extravagantly we want to honor loved ones who have passed away, we must make smart choices about to what lengths we’re able to go.
One of the things I appreciate most about Local Cremation & Funerals and this website is how no-nonsense it is in terms of prices. Right up front, on the home page, we tell visitors exactly what the cost of cremation or burial is. The two most requested services we provide are: Basic Cremations ($995) and our Burial with Graveside Service ($2,295). It’s right there – simple and straightforward.
Just below that, under Affordable Packages, interested guests can click on either Cremation or Burial to find easy-to-understand tables that show the two arrangements I’ve already mentioned, and they can compare (both in price and features) similar plans offered by Local Cremation & Funerals. Does the family want cremation or a full-body burial? Do you want to add a graveside or traditional service? Was the loved one a military veteran and if so, do you want that service to our country honored in the memorial? The answers to questions like these affect the price of what we do to celebrate their life.
You can check out the comparisons for yourself. If you see a package that looks like a good fit, one thing I would suggest is clicking on the Read More option at the bottom of each column. It will take you to details of the plans, descriptions of available options, and links to helpful resources.
When you’re ready to move forward or are interested in pre-planning, we’re ready to visit with you about it and answer any questions you might have. Call us anytime, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at (214) 343-4040.
