{ "original": "Government should create ‘Help To Rent’ says homelessness charity\nHalf of England’s local authorities claim it is ‘very difficult’ to assist homeless applicants into privately rented accommodation with Help to Rent, according to a report published today by national homelessness charity Crisis and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.\nThe report, which includes evidence from 162 of England’s 326 local authorities, reveals that councils are finding it particularly difficult to house homeless young people and large families: 85 per cent of councils say they are having difficulties assisting single people aged 25-34 into accommodation with 88 per cent finding it difficult to house large families.\nThe findings are from The Homelessness Monitor: England, an annual independent study funded by Crisis and JRF. Drawing on a national survey of councils, statistical analysis and in-depth interviews, the report analyses the impact of economic and policy developments on homelessness.\nThe report raises particular concern for the future of single young people, who are identified as being at far higher risk of homelessness than older adults due to rising unemployment, spiralling rents and, especially, declining benefit protection. Some 94 per cent of councils stated they anticipate greater difficulties in finding accommodation for homeless 25 to 34 year olds in the next two to three years.\nThe overwhelming majority of responding councils also expressed concerns that the rollout of Universal Credit will further exacerbate homelessness, mainly due to the potential impact on landlords’ willingness to let to homeless people. Meanwhile, welfare cuts and Local Housing Allowance falling well short of rents in many locations were also cited as major barriers to councils’ attempts to house homeless applicants.\nNearly 58,000 people were accepted as homeless by their council in 2015/16 – 18,000 higher than 2009/10. Meanwhile, placements in temporary accommodation have risen sharply, with the national total up by nine per cent in the year to 30 June 2016, a rise of 52 per cent compared to 2009/10.\n“Until the number of truly affordable rented homes increases significantly, councils will continue to come under huge financial pressure, with dreadful consequences for the most vulnerable in our society” says Jon Sparkes, chief executive of Crisis.\n“Private renting is often the only choice homeless people have. That’s why Crisis is calling on the government to invest in schemes that support people into the private rented sector, such as establishing and underwriting a national rent deposit guarantee. The government is already pouring billions into Help to Buy support. What we really need is Help to Rent.”" }

{ "original": "Despite their age, the oldest stars in our galaxy are the ones to move the fastest, outperforming their younger counterparts, according to a new analysis by the University of Birmingham – which could help to better understand the history of our galaxy and its stars.\nResearchers calculated that the old stars are moving more quickly in and out of the disc of the Milky Way, the pancake-shaped mass at the heart of the Galaxy where most stars are located.\nStars towards the outskirts could be knocked by gravitational interactions with smaller galaxies passing by. Towards the inner parts of the disc, the stars could be disturbed by massive gas clouds that move along with the stars inside the disc. They could also be thrown out of the disc by the movement of its spiral structure.\n“The specific way that the stars move tells us which of these processes has been dominant in forming the disc we see today. We think older stars are moving active because they have been around the longest, and because they were formed during a period when the Galaxy was a bit more violent,” said Dr. Ted Mackareth, the lead author.\nThe study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, used data from the Gaia satellite, currently working to chart the movements of around 1 billion stars in the Milky Way. It also takes information from APOGEE, an experiment that uses spectroscopy to measure the distribution of elements in stars.\nMeasurements as part of the research showed how the brightness of stars varies over time, which gives insights into how they vibrate. In turn, that yields information about their interior structure, which enables scientists to calculate their age.\nThe researching team was able to take these different data strands and calculate the differences in velocity between different sets of stars grouped by age. They found that the older stars were moving in many different directions with some moving very quickly out from the galactic disk.\nMeanwhile, younger stars move closely together at much slower speeds out from the disc, although they are faster than the older stars as they rotate around the Galaxy within the disc.\nLooking ahead, researchers would like to link what is known about the Milky Way with information about how other galaxies in the universe formed. This would allow placing the galaxy within the very earliest signatures of the universe." }

{ "original": "GETTYSBURG, Pa. — One hundred and fifty years ago, on the eve of the epic Civil War battle that bears its name, Gettysburg was a farming town of 2,400 people. After three days of fighting, for each one of those residents, 20 Confederate and Union soldiers were dead, wounded, or missing. The casualties totaled 46,000, the most of the war in one battle. There were 8,000 dead.\nThe carnage from the pivotal July battle prompted President Abraham Lincoln to visit in November to dedicate a national cemetery. Toward the end of the ceremony, he delivered his landmark Gettysburg Address, 270 words that strove to give meaning to death on a vast scale and to enlist the dead in a higher national purpose, for “a new birth of freedom.”\nTo honor the battle, remember the soldiers, and commemorate the 150th anniversary of the address, Harvard President Drew Faust and other dignitaries took the stage Monday for a panel discussion about “These Honored Dead: Death and Rebirth in the Civil War,” an event sponsored by the Gettysburg National Military Park, the Gettysburg Foundation, and Gettysburg College. Hundreds of listeners filled the visitors’ center from end to end.\nIn addition to Faust, the panel included documentarian Ric Burns, who worked with his brother Ken to produce the 1990 classic television series “The Civil War,” and Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2007 to 2011, and a Vietnam veteran.\nLast year, Burns released the Emmy-nominated documentary “Death and the Civil War,” a work based on a book by Faust. “This Republic of Suffering” is a study of death and remembering involving the Civil War. The New York Times named it one of the 10 best books of 2008.\nGettysburg was the second and last major incursion of Confederate forces into the North. It brought the shock of conflict to the quietude of the Union and made the war national, said Faust. In turn, unintended effects of Gettysburg and other battles helped to make the United States modern, as a nation whose institutions grew up around the bureaucratic needs of dealing with death on a massive scale. The government had to handle federal pensions, hospitals, record-keeping, and other demands of scale.\nThe United States also became a country where grieving the dead became a great project, transferring it from the scale of family to the scale of nation. Gettysburg was one of five national cemeteries created during the war at battle sites to honor the dead.\n“Their precious, precious blood” would live on, Walt Whitman wrote of the honored dead in an 1865 poem, “in unseen essence and odor of surface and grass, centuries hence.”\nWhitman was a nurse during the war. His knowing, elegiac voice is used to good effect in the Burns film, which was a fourth panelist in a way. Twenty-four minutes of clips led off the event, including the introduction of “the first war of the modern age,” as a narrator related. The segment on Gettysburg focused on its July death toll and the November address: 10 sentences that were both poignant and a call to action, Lincoln’s “unfinished work” of democracy.\nThe genius of both the film and the book is to relate a republic’s pain in a series of stories about private suffering. “Dear Father,” begins a letter by Confederate soldier James Robert Montgomery, mortally wounded. “This will be my last letter to you.” Its two pages are spotted with blood.\n“What happened here 150 years ago was very close to the death of the American experiment,” Burns said. But Lincoln’s address helped to recast and revive sentiment for union, he said. Faust agreed.\nMullen said the number lost in three days at Gettysburg is close to what America’s latest wars have cost in 12 years. “And yet the essence is still the same,” he said, “for any one of those families” that lost a soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan. During his tenure with the Joint Chiefs, Mullen wanted the country to see “the face of the war,” he said, “the essence of those costs. [But] it is too easy to forget, or to not have a stake. We’ve made it too easy on Americans to go to war.”\nThe Civil War was different, joining citizens and soldiers in “the work of death,” said Faust, “to make some deaths in war have this larger perspective.” It is as if Americans back then were saying “We’re going to honor them best by being different ourselves.”\nDuring the war, 750,000 Americans died from combat and disease, 2.5 percent of the population. In the South, among men of military age, 20 percent died.\nOn that commemoration day in 1863, 4½ months after fighting ceased, Lincoln’s higher sense of purpose was accompanied by the stark reality that half of the battle’s dead were still unburied. Until frost that year, residents of Gettysburg applied peppermint oil under their noses to quell the odor of death.\nFaust suggested that Americans 150 years after the Gettysburg Address had let slip some sense of national purpose, one in which the Union would be a model of democracy for a world in need of it. Lincoln “thought we were a project as a nation,” she said, in a 19th century world where democracy was faltering and “becoming very rare.”\nMullen lamented the present-day absence of “some kind of call to action, public speaking that calls to action.”\nFaust explained the context of the speech 150 years ago, marveling again at the power of history “in getting us to a deeper place.” Lincoln had toured the battlefield before delivering his address, including the spot at Herbst Woods where his friend Maj. Gen. John F. Reynolds had died on July 1. Lincoln added the phrase “under God” to his address after seeing where his friend had fallen.\n“Lincoln was so moved by being here,” said Faust. “From the very start, this place has had … a miasma of meaning, a miasma of requiring something of us.”\nMullen concurred, picking a line from the address that goes deep to his sense of purpose in the military: “That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.” Americans under arms today are, as always, young, with an average age of 20 and 21, “and not a single one has ever died in vain,” Mullen said of their devotion to national purpose. Mullen feared the day “we lose that as a nation.”\nGettysburg has another role in history, too, “to show what you choose when you choose war,” said Faust, remembering the scale of death’s storm that unfolded there. “Let the costs be clear.”" }

Diabetes has caused more than 1.6 million deaths as fifth deadly disease in the world. Diabetes outbreak has been developed three times more in 16 years since 2000. The death rate from diarrhea decreased 1 million life loss in 16 years but still killed 1.4 millions.

{ "original": "The Merry Marvel Holiday giving continues with another gift. Scott Derrickson has quietly signed on to return for the sequel to ‘Doctor Strange’ after having directed and co-written the first installment. It’s possible that Derrickson will contribute to the screenplay for the sequel, but at this time, word is that Disney is now seeking another writer to handle get it started.\nAccording to a report by the Hollywood Reporter, Benedict Cumberbatch, who starred as Stephen Strange, and Benedict Wong who portrayed his ally Wong, will return with Rachel McAdams “likely to return” as Christine Palmer, Strange’s fellow surgeon and love interest. There was no mention of Chiwetel Ejiofor, who portrayed Strange’s fellow sorcerer Mordo, who was set up as a potential rival or villain in the first movie.\nIt is hoped that the script can be completed in 2019, with an eye on production beginning in spring of 2020 in order to teleport into theaters in May of 2021. That’s almost a hefty five years after the first movie arrived in 2016, but it is likely that at least Cumberbatch will appear in a Marvel movie before that.\nDerrickson hasn’t directed another film after ‘Doctor Strange’, but did helm the pilot for ‘Snowpiercer’ for TNT but parted ways when the network wanted alterations and reshoots. He has two other movies lined up, a sci-fi thriller ‘When Gravity Fails’ and a ghost story ‘Two Eyes Staring’. It’s possible he could tackle one or even both of these before ‘Doctor Strange 2’ is ready to film in 2020. He is also working on adapting the horror novel ‘Kill Creek’ into a TV series for Showtime.\nCumberbatch recently starred on the Showtime miniseries ‘Patrick Melrose’ and voiced the title character in the current box office champ ‘The Grinch’. His voice will also be heard as Shere Khan in the film ‘Mowgli’ on Netflix. Wong will be seen in the upcoming Syfy series ‘Deadly Class’ and next fall in the sci-fi action movie ‘Gemini Man’ alongside Will Smith, Clive Owen, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. McAdams was seen earlier this year in the hit comedy ‘Game Night’ and is attached to star in a third ‘Sherlock Holmes’ movie, with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law.\nAre you excited that movement has begun in bringing a second ‘Doctor Strange’ movie to the big screen?" }

Elrow is known as the craziest party in the world, Touring all over the from it’s residency at Space in Ibiza to Mexico, London, New York and now Miami. It’s the most famous party in the world where spectacle, music, color, peace, and happiness come together to create that unique experience. “Together we make magic happen”. It’s just about the music it’s a spiritual event that delivers its joyful exuberance and happiness that has become elrow's signature. It’s beautiful connection between the show, artists, performers and public alike. Fun and uninhibited entertainment make elrow a unique and unrepeatable experience.\nStill fresh in the mind from last elrow party at The BPM Festival, it was more than a redemption, this was personal. Elrow Miami was Psychedelic Trip themed (same as the party at The BPM Festival) knowing I may experience some fear it didn’t let me from stopping from doing what I love. The party was held at Mana Wynwood, very hip part of Miami. As I was walking up to the entrance I can see the decorations and already start to get emotional while waiting online. Tears streaming down my face as I am walking into elrow, I spotted my friends and hugged them so tight, being thankful that I survived. Listening dancing the day away into the darkest night to some of the best underground techno/ house music in the industry. Then I spot a BPM hat, I ran over to him instantly. I asked him if he went to this year’s festival and we both stated that we were at the elrow party at Blue Parrot and hugged, he said: “we are survivors”! It was a fulfilling feeling, one that a writer cannot even explain.\nListening to the techno tunes of our times from the likes of ALX, Art Department, Bastian Bux, Citizenn, Detlef, Marc Maya, Pan-Pot, and Skreamt. Each artist playing to the fullest. The great vibes, peace and love decorations surrounding me, interacting with the elrowfamily, confetti flying everywhere it was truly a party that I will always keep in my memory and heart.\nThe best part of it all was snagging a memorabilia from it all a blow-up elrow hammer and pool toy. As I got back to my apartment, I take off my boots and confetti falls out of them then fall to my knees hysterically laughing from all the success of a fantastic night. Elrow Miami was presented by Like Minded – DiskoLab. Truly cannot wait for the next elrow party to experience." }

Agenesis may be unilateral, total or isthmic. Left thyroid lobe is more commonly involved than right lobe in hemiagenesis. Agenesis of the isthmus was seen in 50% of cases. Left sided hemiagenesis is more common than right sided hemiagenesis with a Left to right ratio of 4:1. Clinically patients can be euthyroid, hypothyroid or hyperthyroid. Often it is diagnosed as an incidental finding during ultrasonography (USG) study of neck, which can easily diagnose this condition.\nActual incidence of THA is unknown; most cases are diagnosed in patients admitted for thyroid scan or thyroid surgery because of suspicion of other thyroid abnormalities.

{ "original": "Siberian scientists study aphids that build houses on poplars\nSiberian scientists have studied street aphids (Pemphigus spyrothecae) that damage poplars in Eastern Siberia. Aphids form galls, i.e. growths on leaves and shoots of plants. Scientists are confident that their research will help not only fill in the gaps in the description of the aphid fauna of the Siberian region but also understand how they develop relationships with trees. This might be the key to finding a way to protect urban green spaces from such pests.\nWho lives in the house?\nPemphigus spyrothecae are social insects with a complex life cycle. They form galls, i.e. external growths on leaves, stalks, and young shoots of poplars. The latter acts as a habitat for aphids, inside which they live and feed. Aphids have spread across almost the entire northern hemisphere, where poplars grow, which are their favorite food, and some species have penetrated the southern hemisphere. It is believed that this group of insects evolved along with their food plants — poplars, and their supposed homeland is in the Mediterranean and East Asia.\n“There are many species of aphids in the world, of which hundreds are garden ones, well known to every farmer. Most often, they openly live in colonies on the leaves and shoots of plants. However, there are no more than 80 species of aphids of the genus Pemphigus in the whole world, and only 45 species live in galls on poplars,” said Natalia Kirichenko, senior researcher of the School of Geography and Ecology (SibFU) and V. N. Sukachev Institute of Forest (SB RAS).\nFrom poplars to carrots\nIt would be more correct to call poplar aphids not garden but street aphids, since they are associated with poplars grown in cities. Some species, due to their exceptional fertility, are large in number and can significantly harm poplars, which results in early leaf fall and shoot wilting.\nInterestingly, these insects change their habitats depending on the season. In summer aphids live in galls on poplars, and in autumn they relocate to plants. In the latter case, aphids become pests, posing a threat to both industrial and garden crops. Some aphids are known to be serious pests of lettuce, carrots, and sugar beets in France, Germany, and Italy.\n“We are planning to study the life cycle and unique social formations of pemphigus aphids, as well as the ways of their dispersal and penetration to our region. A detailed study of the trophic relationships of pests with host trees is also necessary. This will help us find possible ways to deal with harmful aphids. Another challenging task for us is to investigate the ability of such aphids to form galls,” said Nikita Babichev, co-author of the article, junior researcher of V.N. Sukachev Institute of Forest (SB RAS).\nScientists say that they have already established the species diversity of pemphigus aphids in the south of Krasnoyarsk Territory and the north of Khakassia, and now they are planning to explore the vastness of Transbaikalia in detail. It is also necessary to clarify the range of aphids in Western Siberia, including the territory bordering with Kazakhstan.\nDNA-library of aphids\nOne of the challenging tasks for Siberian entomologists is to create a “DNA library” of aphids. Molecular genetics will make it possible to obtain species-specific genetic characteristics, by which we may determine with high accuracy the species of aphids at any stage of development. Moreover, such libraries will help to investigate the relationship between aphid species in different parts of our planet. According to the molecular genetic codes of the species, it will be possible to learn not only about the ways of distribution of aphids but also to establish the places from which these pests are brought to new regions.\nTo teach and to learn\nAt the moment scientists of SibFU and V.N. Sukachev Institute of Forest has compiled a detailed review of gall-forming aphids of the genus Pemphigus for most of the territory of Eastern Siberia. The authors provide new information on the distribution of aphids in the world and especially in the Asian part of Russia, as well as on their trophic connections and harmfulness. For most species, illustrations of galls are provided to help identify these aphids.\n“I believe this faunistic review article is important not only for specialists but it is also a good training material for students. We are confident that the work will be in demand among SibFU students, who study the urban entomofauna. It will serve as a guide to the world of species diversity of gall-forming aphids in Siberia, and a reference manual on their global and domestic distribution, harmfulness, and invasiveness, i.e. the ability to penetrate new regions and settle there,” explained Natalia Kirichenko." }

The first two games were just practise for Chaos Theory, where all the ideas from the first two games were taken much further, and in a much more slick and stylish package. How about that soundtrack?\nWhat’s remarkable about what I’ve seen so far is the volume of things to do. At the start your options are kept pretty slim, but after only a couple of hours you’ll find huge areas of the Ibiza island smothered in challenges, stores, luxury homes and car dealerships. I’m not sure how much I’ll ever care about my haircut (and in the game), or the furniture in my house. I’m after a racing game, not The Sims.

Pretty sure this registers on Steam. Comrade Meer reviewed this for Eurogamer. With a score and everything.\nThe overwhelming sense from SupComm (apart from the need to sleep for a week after a bout of it) is that its design brief was mega-war first, player sympathy second. The mega-war it gets absolutely right, but this is an RTS that could have bagged itself a 10 if it had reigned itself in a little, had tweaked its flow just enough so that there wasn’t quite so much exhausting struggle.\nPathologic – £3.18/€3.98/$3.98\nA scary game about people, disease and people dying from disease.

{ "original": "Expand Your Membership!\nBy Stephanie Campbell, MLIS\nSeptember is Library Card Sign-Up Month, traditionally celebrated by libraries in the fall as a reminder to parents that access to library resources is an essential part of starting a new school year.\nMany librarians seize the opportunity to visit early elementary grade classrooms (or invite classes to come to the library) to get students signed up for library cards. The same goes for Teen Read Week in October. In addition, getting permission from your school district to distribute flyers to students about library membership and key programs can generate new users and/or increase usage.\nStudents are a captive audience in that they need libraries to complete course work. This makes library marketing easier because we can target the place where they spend a lot of their time.\nBut Library Card Sign-Up Month is also an all-ages initiative to expand membership. Unlike children, adults have easier access to fee-based options and don’t necessarily “need” libraries for learning resources and entertainment. So how can we entice adults to sign up for a library card or get them to come through our doors?\nWe know that we can’t just sit back and wait for the public to find us. It’s important to identify the places where people in your community congregate and think about how you can create a meaningful library presence there.\nAt public transportation hubs, perhaps you can you set up a book swap and tuck in a bookmark with the promise of more free stuff that is only a library card away. Can you partner with local gyms or the YMCA for display space? How about local bars and restaurants? I remember, when I was a kid, staring at those ads on the paper placemats on the tables in restaurants. It was always a dream of mine to make clever library bar coasters and place them in the local pubs. (Someday!)\nThough it’s sometimes hard to find the staff to cover community events, nothing beats face-to-face engagement. Reserve a table (hopefully for free or at minimal expense) and come equipped with the technology to sign people up for library cards on the spot and check out materials in real time.\nTake advantage of “First Friday” and “Second Saturday” events, street festivals, and county fairs to create relevant displays, promote programs, have a giveaway, or hold a drawing for prizes. You might even provide a quick on-site or take-home craft. It’s all about getting your library’s name out there.\nTry to match appropriate library materials to popular events. You know the drill:\n- Craft Fairs: How-to books or information on starting your own business\n- Farmers Markets: Materials on cooking, canning and preserving\n- Job Fairs: Resumés, interviewing, test-taking, brushing up on basic skills\n- Senior Expos: Second-act careers, volunteerism, estate planning, Medicare\nIt’s easy to feel discouraged at such events—I remember my own dismay as an outreach librarian. While attending a block party, I parked the bookmobile next to the bounce house and thought, How can I compete with that? But I feel strongly that, while you may not be the hottest attraction, your presence alone is what’s most important. Event organizers and attendees might not remember everything about your message, but they will remember that you were there.\nBesides reading, listening, viewing materials, and enjoying free access to computers, what else can people get at the library that they can’t find anywhere else? Are there openings in your state that allow you to become a passport acceptance agency? Can you offer digitization services?\nThese are just some of the ways to meet people in-the-moment. We would love to hear about your strategies to attract new library card holders.\nLinks for further reading:\nAn interesting article on the ebb and flow of library usage throughout a lifetime:\nSurveying your community:\nBefore joining Brodart in 2016, Stephanie Campbell worked for more than 20 years in public, academic, and special libraries.

He studied with Francesco Langone, Angelo Gilardino, Mario Dell'Ara, Leo Brouwer, Mark White and composition with Marco Di Bari.\nHe has worked with Sylvano Bussotti, Azio Corghi, Bruno Canino, Alda Caiello, John Russell, Machinefabriek, Steven Mackey, Andrzej Bauer, Marco Angius, Giorgio Battistelli, Carlo Boccadoro, Mauro Bonifacio, I Solisti Aquilani. He plays in duo with Magnus Andersson and with the vibraphone player Antonio Caggiano. He has debuted many new guitar solo compositions. Alvin Curran, Mark Delpriora, Mauro Montalbetti, Stefano Taglietti, Gavin Bryars, Tom Armstrong have written special pieces just for him.\nTell us about Sylvano Bussoti, tell us a secret\nIt was a pleasure working with him on his great compositions… he is very kind and really a great composer. For the world premiere recording he gave me the manuscript of Popolaresca a very nice piece for solo guitar. I could tell you his secret… his profound and refined aesthetic sense, both as a composer and as a visual artist.\nWhat have you found new in his work guitar compositions\nI have found rare nuances, a unique guitar world,\na sort of well-defined theatrical character,\nwith original timbres and sounds\nWhat relationship would you find between Morton Feldman and Jimi Hendrix?\nUh…great question! I think they have a common search for the transcendent and for sound experimentation. Even Feldman, like Hendrix, wanted to completely transform the electric guitar's soul and sound.\nWhat is the role of the guitar in contemporary music?\nBoth of them -classical and electric guitar- play a fundamental role in today's music. They make their own particular timbres available to composers and allow the achievement of truly unique sound solutions...\nAre there new searches in the contemporary sound field? In what way do they relate to the tradition of sound?\nSound experimentation is part of the deep soul of the guitar. All the new experiments, somehow, have their roots in musical traditions of the past, if only for the primitiveness and archaicity of the guitar sound.\nThe most interesting experiments refer to the electronic research and to the research on the overtones of the long sustained notes of the guitar...\nWhat is possible in Music?\nIt is a magical art, as it is abstract.\nSo we can accomplish anything, even our wildest dreams.\nHow would you define your physical relationship with the guitar?\nThe sense of touch on the strings is fundamental for me,\nas well as feeling its vibrations on my arms,\non my stomach,\non my legs...\nWhat is the most interesting thing about collaborating with someone in your work, be it a composer, interpreter or any type of collaborator?\nThe most interesting thing is to be able to always learn something.\nAfter finishing my studies, my most useful \"master classes\" were just being able to learn on the field, directly playing with great musicians and collaborating with great composers.\nA composer and a why? A sonorous moment in your life and a why?\nPhilip Glass, because I love his music and I admire his professional career and his musical and entrepreneurial intuitions.\nA sonorous moment…maybe a few years ago during a concert in my hometown.\nI was playing in the wonderful convent that I frequented as a child.\nI was playing my improvisation on the loop machine.\nI felt in paradise, and I played thinking about my father and grandmother who are no longer here with us.\nAnd I felt very deep, inexplicable sensations.\nWhere do you get the strength to continue?\nI have a mission: To express myself with my music and to develop the contemporary guitar repertoire…and also… I’m workaholic 🙂\nI always need to have more and more projects to work on ... often simultaneously 🙂\nWhere are you going?\nI think I’m going in a new direction. I am writing and recording my compositions and improvisations more and more. But I will also continue to perform the pieces of other composers. I am going to release a new album of original compositions and I will continue my fantastic collaborations with Elliott Sharp, John King and many other great musicians.\nAlso, I would like to return to play live as soon as possible! I will do it in the summer, as a soloist and in duo with the great double bass player Daniele Roccato.\nAnd I hope soon to be able to do the concerts in New York that were canceled last April due to the lockdown." }

{ "original": "The state Senate State Government Committee today voted 4-0 with one abstention to approve the bill (S2169), which would partially undo a three-year-old law that requires new public employees at all levels of government — be they state, county, local, municipal school district or independent authorities — to live in New Jersey.\n“We don’t want to lose a pool of otherwise qualified teachers, both in our traditional public schools and also our charter schools,” said the bill’s sponsor, state Sen. Peter Barnes.\nThe bill would create a pilot program to exempt school district employees in 10 counties that are near the New York or Pennsyvania borders: Bergen, Hudson, Passaic, Essex, Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon, Mercer, Burlington, and Camden.\nSchool districts would be required to report each year to the Department of Education on its impact. After three years, the Department of Education would recommend whether to keep or scrap the exemptions.\nUnder current law, employees can apply for “hardship” exemptions to the law.\nA Star-Ledger analysis of the decisions by the Employee Residency Review Committee — which was set up to decide whether employees be granted exemptions — found that out of 184 requests heard this year, 114 were from school district employees. The vast majority of those — 90 — were approved for a temporary or permanent exemption.\nBarnes said a disproportionate amount of applications for exemptions came from teachers in Camden and Newark.\nWhen the bill was first introduced on June 9, it only applied to new employees or those who have not yet complied with the residency requirement. Today the committee amended it to apply to all school district employees in the 10 counties, so a teacher could move out of state and continue working at the same school.\nBeth Schroeder Buonsante, associated director for government relations for the New Jersey Education Association, said the exemption process puts school employees in “gut wrenching situations, forcing them to contemplate career decisions and requiring them to plead their personal hardships in front of the review panel.”\nBuonsante cited the case of one teacher who had lived in New Jersey but moved to Pennsylvania to be with her aging in-laws. While living in Pennsylvania, her six-year-old son died and counselors advised her against moving for her other children’s sake. The woman was offered a teaching job in New Jersey and applied for exemption.\n“Of course this woman was offered a waiver,” Buonsante said. “But was it really necessary to drag her to Trenton, to pour out this story amidst those tears to a panel of five strangers? And there are so many other stories that I could tell you.”\nState Sen. Sam Thompson (R-Middlesex), who abstained on the bill, said he did not understand why only teachers in certain districts should be exempt.\n\"I think you’re coming to the question of should we have residency rules,” Thompson said. “If you have them, you have them. If you don’t, you don’t. Why should one person be treated differently than another?”\nState Sen. Jim Whelan (D-Atlantic) said residency requirements are often hard to enforce and that workers get around them by using New Jersey addresses where they don't actually live.\n\"Let’s not kid ourselves. We can’t track the tens of thousands of public employees<\" Whelan said. \"And you just wind up making liars out of people.”\nTo become law, the bill needs to pass the full Senate and Assembly, and win the approval of Gov. Chris Christie." }

{ "original": "Memory Clinics Overwhelmed By Growing Number of Patients\nThe Royal College of Physicians has released figures which show a huge rise in the number of patients being seen at memory clinics. There are 200 such clinics in the UK, which test patients for dementia, and their specialists say they have been overwhelmed with the ever-growing number of visitors.\nIn 2010, each clinic saw an average of 317 patients but by 2013 this had dramatically risen to 1,206. However, studies have revealed that the proportion of memory clinic patients who turn out to have dementia has decreased. In just five years, it went from two thirds to less than half of those admitted.\nWhy Memory Clinics Are Swamped\n“As publicity surrounding dementia has sky-rocketed, and happily the stigma surrounding the diagnosis has plummeted, many, many more people are worried they have the disease,” says Chris Butler, who runs Oxford’s Cognitive Disorders Clinic. “That’s a huge resource issue because memory clinics, especially the type of clinic I run, which typically sees younger people under the age of 70, are getting bombarded.”\nA significant issue seems to be that too many people are hurrying to memory clinics over simple cases of absent-mindedness. Incidents such as forgetting where car keys or other objects have been put down are being considered reasons for concern by many of these patients when in fact, they are common memory problems which are completely normal.\nSimon Ridley of Alzheimer’s Research UK says that it is “natural people who are concerned about their memory will seek advice from a doctor,” but that it is important to understand the difference between the symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s disease and the general memory loss associated with ageing.\nWhy the Strain on Memory Clinics Needs to be Reduced\nUnfortunately, the growing number of patients has left memory clinics with waiting times of up to six months. While experts are glad to see that awareness about dementia has grown, they are concerned that those who are displaying symptoms are having to wait too long to be diagnosed. Most sufferers are over the age of 65, so younger patients in particular are urged to visit their GP to rule out dementia before heading to specialist clinics.\n“People who are concerned about symptoms they may be experiencing are prompted to go and seek help from their GP,” says George McNamara of Alzheimer’s Society. “However, we have been concerned that too many people who have been referred by their GP for diagnosis have to wait months for certainty about what is happening to them.”\n“Alongside the increased emphasis on diagnosing dementia, it is essential appropriate investment is made by commissioners to ensure sufficient access to memory clinics and comprehensive post-diagnosis support,” he adds. “On the other side of the coin, it is vital that GPs have a good understanding of dementia and adequate training so that they can refer appropriately.”" }

{ "original": "RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Gov.-elect Bob McDonnell said Tuesday he planned to mark his inauguration with an eye toward frugality and helping those who are suffering in tough economic times.\nMcDonnell said he will raise about $1.5 million for the inauguration, much less than his two predecessors. The events, which begin Friday and run through the Jan. 16 swearing-in ceremony, will be marked by volunteer and charitable opportunities that fit the theme “A Commonwealth of Opportunity.”\n“Virginia is a land of extraordinary opportunity,” he told reporters Tuesday. “What we do best here in Virginia is not to make guarantees through government, but we provide the maximum opportunity for people to use their God-given talents to pursue the American dream.”\nLeading up the inauguration, the incoming Republican governor will volunteer at food banks and homeless shelters, speak to children, meet with military families and visit with inmates.\nDuring inaugural balls, the parade and other events, stations will be set up to take coat donations for the Salvation Army and food and cash donations for the Federation of Virginia Food Banks.\nThe events begin Friday when McDonnell volunteers at a food bank and then attends an inaugural ball in Abingdon.\nMcDonnell said he would carry the theme throughout his four years as governor. Virginia governors are barred from successive terms.\nIn New Jersey, the only other state to elect a governor last year, they are forgoing the traditional black-tie inaugural ball for a dinner with business attire. The tickets still are $500, but organizers say much of that will go to charity.\nMcDonnell said his inaugural committee tried to scale back events from previous inaugurations.\n“At the same time I know there are an extraordinary number of people who worked very hard for many months, in fact years, to get to the point that Bill Bolling, Ken Cuccinelli and I were elected and they want to be able to have a couple days to celebrate that,” McDonnell said.\nBolling won his second term as lieutenant governor. Cuccinelli was elected attorney general.\nGov. Timothy M. Kaine’s inaugural committee raised nearly $3.2 million to use on events in Williamsburg and Richmond. Former Gov. Mark Warner raised more than $2.5 million for his inauguration.\nWhile McDonnell said his committee would raise no more than $1.5 million, it will not file its first campaign finance report until March 15.\nMcDonnell said he wanted to use the inaugural events to highlight those in need and give Virginians an opportunity to help them.\n“We are the most generous nation on Earth, whether you measure it in donations of time, talent, treasure, foreign aid by our federal government,” McDonnell said. “We do more, with perhaps less appreciation, than any country in the world, and Virginians do that extremely well.”\nLeaders of the Salvation Army and the Federation of Virginia Food Banks said they were excited to get the boost at a time when need continues to increase because of the economy.\n“People are so generous during the holidays and then January and February are kind of not on the radar at that point, so this kind of helps us build our inventory,” said Leslie Van Horn, executive director of the Federation of Virginia Food Banks." }

{ "original": "Which one of these statements do you agree with?\nWomen are bad drivers.\nTeenagers are lazy.\nTarot card readers are con artists.\nWide sweeping statements feel so definitive that it is easy to believe them. Black and white thinking feels so much more comfortable than grey. It feels good to pronounce a belief about a whole group of people believing that our judgement is right. Stereotyping is based out of a need to categorize, condemn, and ultimately feel better than the people we may be talking about.\nHave I personally watched every single woman drive, and do I have the certifications necessary to make that kind of judgement call? While some teens might be slow in the motivation department, there are many examples of the opposite. However, I hear the third statement regularly and without question that it is indeed, true: “Tarot readers are all con artists.”\nRational, objective, science-minded folks eat up the social consensus regarding tarot. Logical and fair-minded people regularly denounce a whole field without ever having visited a reader. What is the first premise in scientific inquiry? Observation. Have these people suddenly forgotten the very foundation of their beliefs in the rush to denounce what they might not know anything about?\nHow can this be? How is it that while we are quick to denounce stereotypes we are able to make the exception with tarot readers? It is, I suspect, due to tarot’s public image coupled with an incorrect assumption promulgated by popular culture and the co-opting of tarot by people with questionable ethics. Tarot is not the problem. Shitty people using tarot are the problem.\nGoogle up any image of a tarot reader in the movies or TV shows and more often than not we are treated to a mysterious, dark-haired woman. This woman is of indeterminate background (an inelegent nod to the idea that ‘they are foreign’) is sitting in a darkly lit room, ready to receive a questioner. She pronounces the fate of said character for good or ill. This fate is unalterable and our tarot reader has the ability to see into that future that is already written out for us.\nA search for the words ‘tarot reader’ also reveals con artists who use tarot to prey upon the innocent. One need not look far to read stories about a certain actress in a fake Jamaican accent imploring you to call now. Not far behind her are so-called tarot readers who were jailed after husting tens of thousands of dollars from the wealthy or the desperate.\nFinally, the bias towards tarot are often from people who question the very nature of tarot and what it does. They believe that tarot does not work, and anyone who believes in it is either gullible or a con artist (see that “all, never, or always” thinking here)?\nBut the thing is is that the underlying assumptions about how tarot works are inaccurate. That assumption was unquestionably formed by some real bad actors (pun intended). So how can we form a truly informed opinion if we are working off of assumptions that are patently false or misunderstood?\nWe can’t. It is easy to assume that our underlying beliefs that form the basis of our opinions are accurate. But that it is not scientific inquiry. Rather, that is bias. Bias is often the byproduct of a closed mind who frankly stopped thinking the moment their irrational criticism began to rear it’s head. It is this bias that hounds professional, honest, and earnest readers. In short, we are a field green-lighted for condemnation. This condemnation is largely based on a complete fantasy regarding what we do and how we do it.\nHave people completely given up on the banking system because of the Great Recession? Are lawyers ran out of town with crowds of people holding pitchforks? Of course not. Because we know that while there are some unscrupulous bankers and lawyers, we also know that not all of them are. And while someone might not understand how tarot works, that lack of understanding does not mean that tarot readers are selling snake oil.\nTarot is having a moment. Tarot is being normalised by a generation of people who are willing to dive into the mystery of personal truths. More than ever, there are professionals in this field who take the work of reading very seriously and treat their craft with the professionalism it deserves.\nTarot is not going anywhere, and just like massage and acupuncture and herbalism, it is moving towards a stable norm. While tarot has a PR problem now, I see the shift on the horizon. I look forward to the day where I can say I am a professional reader without cringing or avoiding the question because I don’t want to deal with some people’s bias. I cannot wait to be open and comfortable with this passion of mine and my work in the way it deserves.\nA very basic Fen Shui 101\nFor the last few months I have been studying Feng Shui for both my office and my home, what I have learned is that in Feng Shui, the main concept is that qi- that invisible powerful all-pervading force- needs to flow in a certain way through our dwellings for harmonious lives. When the qi is stagnant, or rushed- when there is too much yang or yin energy in areas of our dwellings- the effect is negative.\nIn addition to the flow of qi, each room and home is divided up in areas of influence in your life based on the Lo Shu Magic Square. Using the Ba Gua (the Octogonal compass, if you will) a Feng Shui Master can determine which areas of your dwelling need Feng Shui cures. For example, if your love life is a challenge we would look at the relationship area of your home. Perhaps that area is where your dark dirty closet is and the qi is stagnant. Once determining that the closet may be affecting your relationship qi, we would apply a “cure” to get the qi moving in that area which will also affect your life.\nMeet the Ba Gua:\nThe Chinese have traditionally put South at the top...\nEach area has one of the Chinese five elements that can be affected by other elements in that area. Elements can either enhance, be neutral towards or exhaust one another. For example, the relationship area is presided by Earth. So things that “destroy” earth- wood as an example in this cosmology- should not be placed in this area as a cure.\nNumber 1 resides in the North and is influenced by the element of water. This area is also known as the Journey or career area. It is more than just career though, it is an area where we are working a career that is deeply meaningful to us and fills us with purpose.\nThroughout this blog, I will be posting pictures of my own reading room to show the principals:\nMy actual reading desk is in this quadrant and this is the area I spend the most time. Above my desk I have a water lilies batik hanging, promoting the qi flow of water in this area, but I could also use something as simple as Ace of Cups.\nFor me, the Aces represent the most pure form of that energy so I use them as the first option wherever appropriate. It would not be good to put an earth card here- like a pentacle- because pentacles are earth and earth exhausts water.\nNumber 2 resides in the South West area and is influenced by Earth and relationships. In my office, I have plants (non woody) and I also have things like the open hands and my rose quartz to facilitate qi flow in this area. A wonderful card you can place here is the 10 of Pentacles: grounded happy families protected. You can also put pairs of things here to represent couples.\nNumber 3 in the east is influenced by wood (wood is considered an element in Chinese cosmology) and ancestors and family. Water nurtures wood so you could put the\n10 of Cups here. The Empress and Emperor could work as the ultimate Mater/Pater familias. This area acknowledges the work our ancestors did and continue to do to influence our wisdom and success in all things. This is very different from the western paradigm of independence.\nIn this area, I have a large plant activating wood qi as well as a big picture of the Buddha to represent people from the past who influence me. You could also put a pic of your grandparents here. Personally I am using the World card from the Dreaming Way, when I asked the artist why he chose an old man for the world card he said, \"It is the scene of an old man who has seen the world and is now content with it and himself.\" It is like a grandpa card to me.\nNumber 4 is in the South East and is also represented by wood (different Feng Shui schools also call it wind). This is the area of wealth. Wood is considered neutral by earth so it is ok to have earthy things in here. Here I have a nice big thriving plant as well as a small fountain that runs, water also nourishes wood and a small water fountain is an especially powerful Cure for the flow of money coming to you. In this area I place the Ace of Pentacles.\nNumber 5 is at the very center of the all the other quadrants it is moving yin and yang that all the others spin around, in Feng Shui this is not an area that usually needs a Cure. It is an earth area, also.\nNumber 6 is in the northwest and is influenced by metal and is the area of helpful people and travel. In my office I have a banner that speaks to being of a helpful nature and if you need to travel more or need to cultivate qi in a way that helpful mentors and support folks come out to help you can certainly activate this area by placing something metal here, a compass perhaps?\nTo me, metal corresponds to the suit of Swords, so I think I might just place the whole Swords Court here to represent people who can help. This area is also how you are of service so the Ace of Swords could be fitting here, too. I also put the Magician, his help is always a gift. As you see, you can hide them behind things, and according to Feng Shui principals, they still work.\nNumber 7 is in the West and is cultivated by the area of Creativity and Children (as you see I is directly across from the ancestor area showing a clear linear link to the whom before and after. Fire and earth are both ok to use in this area so I have my terracotta candle holder of a Momma elephant and her baby. I also have a large metal mirror to activate the qi in this area.\nFrom a Tarot perspective I would place 6 of Cups and the Empress. Fire is said to “exhaust” metal so I would not place any Wands related cards in this area, even though they often mean creativity, perhaps the Magician could go here, too. The cards are under my elephant. Not needing to be visually displayed to work.\nNumber 8 is in the North East and is influenced by Wood and Knowledge. This can also include contemplation and the study of spiritual subjects. Because my door is here there is not much I can do in this area but I do have a picture of the Hermit above the door to activate the energy here.\nI would say that I would consider the use of a Major Arcana as elemental-neutral, they can be used anywhere. So if you are stumped with the minors and the right elements use a Major! The area also has a big wooden door, so that inadvertently is activating the qi here.\nFinally, number 9 is in the South and has to do with fame and illumination. This area is for building a reputation for yourself but it also can mean the light that shines within you that spark, becomes brighter so that all can see it. I did not get into colors too much in this post, but placing something red here enhances this area.\nI have a red pillow and a string of fiery butterflies so that their wings can fan the flames here. In terms of Tarot 7 of Wands/ Ace of Wands/ 8 of Wands would do very well here. Something I did not get into is that if an area is becoming too intense, you can use the destructive element to tone it down a bit. For example, if you were Kanye West and felt the fame too intensely, you could put a Cup card here, a little bit of water, to tone it down.\nSo there you have it! How to use Tarot as a Feng Shui cure beyond the traditional ones of mirrors, chimes, crystals, and flutes. The idea of Feng Shui is to not make your home look like it just came out of a Buddhist temple, but rather to use the underlying principals with your own cultural influences and contexts.\nDisclaimer: Since I have only been studying a few months I am in no way near an expert and I am sure my advice here has some very obvious gaps, however I believe using Tarot applied as a Cure in areas for maximum beneficial flow to qi can only enhance and balance our lives.\nThere are no hard and fast rules here, only associations that make sense and have meaning to you. Have fun Feng Shuiing!\nIt is not an easy thing to be a Tarot reader, in fact, if one is not called to do it, it hardly seems worth it sometimes.\nTarot readers often have a history of reading at the fringes of society, often working under the table or without true business practices, it is not uncommon to find a reader reading from her kitchen table with cash payment taken only.\nSo while Tarot and Tarot readers often have a reputation of working at the fringes of society, society by and large actively blocks readers who aim to professionalize the field. In my years of working and creating a professional business that is legal in every way, here are the particular challenges I and other readers have encountered:\nBanks will drop us once they find out we read Tarot. I had a bank that I was using online and that bank decided to drop me for no other reason except that I read Tarot. When I asked why, I was told that my company was in violation of their terms of service. Their terms of service had tarot card readers snuggled in right between mail order bride companies and narcotics sales businesses. (!!!) When I tried to push back, explaining that what I do is like life coaching using the archetypal nature of Tarot, I was ignored, discounted, and basically treated like a third class citizen.\nSome insurance companies will drop us if they find out we read Tarot. A colleague of mine was unceremoniously dumped as a “psychic company” when in fact the word psychic appeared nowhere on her website, only Tarot. This insurance company will cover life coaches (also completely unregulated and requiring no formal education) and yoga teachers, but not Tarot readers. Not all Tarot readers are psychic or claim to be, but it doesn’t matter to society- there are no attempts at making any distinctions or educating themselves on the many differences of Tarot and the Psychic field on the whole.\nSome festival and event coordinators will not allow us to read at their events (while allowing face painters, art vendors and other small business folk) due to their own personal agenda, religious beliefs, and things like, “We had a bad reader 15 years ago so no readers now.” or “You are only here to capitalize on these poor unsuspecting people.” I have had craft vendors deny me but allow other service providers, I have been told regularly that “We don't allow that kind of thing, here.”\nThe professionals leave because of the ongoing discrimination they face as well as the vulnerable position they are in because no one will cover them, leaving a nice big void for the bad guys to fill. How does this make any kind of sense?\nThere are bad readers and con artists who use Tarot as an avenue to rip people off. But when us honest readers who pay taxes, buy insurance, and professionalize ourselves are met with roadblocks at every turn, it reinforces the tarot reader under the table scheme, because no other framework is allowed for us. If the prevailing idea is that Tarot readers are a joke or a con at best, and if readers who do attempt to professionalize are blocked at every turn; then that actually creates the conditions that people complain about in the first place. The professionals leave because of the ongoing discrimination they face as well as the vulnerable position they are in because no one will cover them, leaving a nice big void for the bad guys to fill. How does this make any kind of sense?\nBecause of the rampant discrimination many readers feel, they often use an alias or do not put a picture of themselves online because they are afraid of the reprisals they may get from society, day jobs, family and friends. If our best most honest readers are still hiding in the Tarot closet out of fear of discrimination and retaliation, then again, that only reinforces the erroneous concept that Tarot can only be a profession at the fringe of society. Discrimination against readers is so difficult that many do not find it worth it. I know many amazingly gifted readers who never take the plunge to actually read as a professional because they are scared. So who is the bully here, readers so unfairly maligned, or cultural ignorance?\nInterestingly, I am more authentic, more honest to myself and to others than I have ever been, far more authentic than in any job I have ever held. The sad irony is that society now views me with the most suspicion. Some days I get exhausted having to prove myself and the Tarot over and over again. What a miraculous dream it would be to just do this work with the benefit of the doubt. Understandably because of the con artists many come with a bad experience, but if we are not allowed to professionalize, how can we possibly compete against the bad guy?\nSo at this point, you might be wondering, “Well, Jenna, why DO you do it then, if it is such a pain in the tuchus?” That is a fair question, a question that I sometimes have to ask myself, especially after a door has been slammed in my face, especially when I am called a “bottom feeder” from a detractor, especially when friends of family say, “If Jenna has an advanced degree and speaks several languages… why is she doing this?”\nWe do it because to ignore this ignores a fundamental piece of ourselves.\nI read Tarot because I have seen how a good reading can fundamentally change someone’s life for the better as nothing else can. I read Tarot because it is a CHOICE that I choose from many options available, not because I have no other choice or options. I read Tarot because I love it and it has value, worth and I get to (lucky lucky me) help people with their lives, I can see everyday that what I do has value for others. Being self-employed as a Tarot reader means I answer to no one except to my clients, I am living my life by my rules and in my way. Reading Tarot means I don’t wear panty hose or dress suits or play political office games (though I do miss having office mates).\nReading Tarot means that I am using all of my native strengths and talents and it is truly me at my best, helping others intuitively is something that I have done my whole life. The call to read Tarot became so loud that I could ignore it no longer and like an artist, like a person who has a calling-everything about who I am fell into place once I took the plunge to go full time. I stopped fighting myself and embraced something near to the core of my meaning and purpose. If reading Tarot wasn’t such an intrinsic part of me, why the hell would I even bother to deal with such unfair bias? Why would anyone (besides the con men) bother when the social cost is so heavy to do so? We do it because it is a part of who we are and what we are called to do. We do it because to ignore this is to ignore a fundamental piece of ourselves.\nBeing the Queen of Wands type that I am, I also have an agenda. I do not play at being small very well, nor am I the type to be comfortable or happy reading at the fringe. My overarching goal is this: that as a professional reader who also business coaches other Tarot readers; that will I help create a tipping point of professionalism, support, nurturance and honesty- the amount of amazing readers will be so open and so professional-that the culture-at-large will have no choice but to check it’s own stereotype about us. I aim to see Tarot reading being seen in the same light that people now see massage therapy within one generation. I aim to change it all.\nBack in the 1970s people saw massage therapy as a fringe business, too. Something hippy folk went to or at the very worst, a veneer for sexual services. When I speak to my massage therapy friends I hear these early stories and I also see how different it is now, there is no longer any stigma attached to get a massage, it is seen as a helpful therapeutic service. I want Tarot to be seen in the same light. I want future Tarot readers to be able to provide a therapeutic service without the stigma of deceit, tricks, or manipulation labeled against them.\nSo I use my real name. I use my real picture, I am completely legal in every way, even when doors have been slammed shut to prevent me from professionalizing my service, I soldier on. When people ask me what I do, I tell them. I have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. I am extremely proud of the work I do for others and I work very hard at creating a business of value and worth to my clients. My existence serves as education against a long unfair stereotype about who Tarot readers are. I and many others are blazing a path, and I do not come alone. We are the professional face of Tarot. The face that will not allow anyone to put us away, to shut us up or ridicule us. We are here to stay.\nAs a Tarot client, student, or Tarot lay-person, you can help, too. Do not hide in the shadows about your craft or interest or that you get readings, square those shoulders and calmly step out into the light with us. Educate others about Tarot, engage when you hear misinformation, bring yourself authentically and push back when others attempt to quiet you. We stand shoulder to shoulder and we will change this, within our lifetimes it is possible and the world will be better for it. Join us.\nWe are the professional face of Tarot. The face that will not allow anyone to put us away, to shut us up or ridicule us. We are here to stay.\nSubscribe below to get my daily blog posts right in your email!" }

However, it is not only more ethical, but much more sustainable and environmentally friendly.\nRecently, researchers at the University of Michigan’s Center for Sustainable Systems have examined the environmental impact of this plant-based burger compared to a traditional beef burger, looking at greenhouse gas energy, water and land use. The study underwent independent peer-review.\nThey not only discovered that the plant-based burger was more eco-friendly, but they also made recommendations on how to make it even better for the environment.\nResearchers have found that Beyond Meat burgers generate 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions, require 46% less non-renewable energy, have 99% fewer impacts on water scarcity and 93% less impact on land use.\nThis is the undeniable and true impact on our world. An average American consumes 3 burgers a day. If they switched only one from beef to plant-based, it would be similar to taking 12 million cars off the road and saving energy to power 2.3 million homes. That is huge!\nIs Beyond Burger perfect? Surely not, it still has some environmental impact, but it is far more sustainable than its beef counterparts, even grass-fed beef.\nTo lower their impact, the company also moved from a plastic tray to fully compostable packaging in its debut Beyond Sausage. They have also installed solar tubes in their headquarters and installed water recirculating systems in their Missouri production facility.\nDespite pro-meat and anti-plant-based efforts such as the banning of the term “meat” on plant-based alternatives free from animal ingredients, the plant-based food industry is thriving and growing. It currently is worth $3.7 billion, which is a 17% growth within the last year. Plant-based sales have increased 23% at $684 million for the US retail market.\nBeyond Burgers can now be found at various restaurants, including TGI Fridays and Bareburger. “Bleeding” plant-based burgers by Impossible Foods are also increasingly popular and can be found at over 3,000 service locations. Don Lee Farms sold more than a million plant-based burgers at Costco nation-wide.\nThe Shift In Society From Meat To Plant Based\nSustainability, the environment and health are continuing to be a high priority for an increasing number of customers both nationally and globally. 66% of global customers are willing to pay extra for more sustainable brands, including lower-income individuals and families. Millennials are particularly willing to spend extra on eco-friendly options.\nAlong with the sustainability and health, ethical issues – including animal welfare – are becoming an increasing concern and priority for customers. They are happy to eat delicious and healthy options that don’t involve the suffering and slaughtering of animals.\nChoosing an environmentally friendly, sustainable and healthy option that doesn’t involve animal suffering is a no-brainer.\nThankfully, it is not only meat that you can replace with delicious plant-based alternatives. There are plant-based cheeses, milks, yogurt, ice cream and just about everything else available. There are some incredibly tasty brands and also fantastic recipes you can try at home.\nIf you are concerned about protein, Organifi Complete Protein is made with fantastic plant-based protein sources and superfoods to keep your strong, energized and healthy. For more plant-power, try our other Organifi drinks: Organifi Green Juice, Organifi Red Juice, Organifi Gold, Organifi Gold Pumpkin Spice and Organifi Pure. They are all made with high-quality plant-based ingredients – and most importantly with lots of love to help you regain your health and happiness.\nAre you ready to jump on the plant-based train? What is your favorite plant-based burger (it can be a personal recipe)? How about your favorite Organifi drink? Share your answers in the comments. We would love to hear from you.\nAnd remember, we’re in this together.\nKat Gál is a holistic health writer who helps health, wellness, and nutrition businesses to market their products and services through quality online content.

{ "original": "Emergency Pet Hospital\nby Eric Marion\nThere are cat people and there are dog people. I’m a little of both but a lot of the first. Three cats, one parent. My big baby was born in 2000. I adopted him from a shelter in Boston. I was perusing the cages wistfully imagining myself as a cat owner when I came upon a cage blocked by a huge cardboard sign reading “DANGROUS. DO NOT TOUCH THIS CAT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!”\nOoof. Must be a real tiger. I started pass over to the cage when a small grey paw reached from behind the cardboard and snagged my wool sweater (my rather expensive wool sweater). That paw snagged me and hasn’t’ let go after 13 years. Turns out the cat attached to that paw had upper respiratory syndrome, a common but easily transmitted feline virus. The warning was in place for the protection of the other cats in the shelter.\nMr. Kitty was with me when my dad visited, and comforted me when the call came that dad had died. Dad used to call him “dawg” because of Mr. Kitty’s obedient, humble nature. Mr. Kitty was with me when my grandfather and grandmother visited – traveling from Virginia to Boston was a once in a lifetime experience for them. Mr. Kitty instinctively knew something was wrong when I received the news that ‘papaw’ had passed on, and that ‘granny’ followed him three days later.\nMr. Kitty followed me to Providence, RI, and later to San Juan. That was a singularly difficult trip. Cramping Mr. Kitty’s 16 pounds into a carrier was a fete. (Mr. Kitty has insisted on being well fed over the years).\nWhen I noticed last week that Mr. Kitty was dropping small bits of pee pee around the apartment, I assumed he was marking his territory against the new kitten that had found its way into my home Mr. Kitty’s home. When Mr. Kitty started spending long periods at the litterbox, I knew something was wrong. I googled the symptoms, and learned that Mr. Kitty had signs of urinary tract infection. A disease that is fatal if not treated immediately.\nIt was a Saturday during one of Puerto Rico’s many (many, many, many) holidays. Nothing would be open. I remembered that I had listed a 24 hour pet emergency location when developing La Bochinchosa. I located the information and called the number. The receptionist advised me to do what I already knew – bring in Mr. Kitty immediately.\nI looked into those wide gold eyes and told Mr. Kitty to ‘hang in’. I arrived at the hospital not know what to expect. Would this be a dirty cramped hovel, an impersonal large office space? Would I be price-gouged in my moment of need?\nThe 24 hour pet vet at 270-A Avenida Pinero, Rio Piedras-(787) 751-3737, (787) 758-4624 was an inviting (and surprisingly busy) establishment. The hard-working staff was making inroads into pet treatment at the very odd hour of 6 pm on a Saturday night (during a long weekend). Aware of the emergency, Mr. Kitty was immediately examined by a vet, and then admitted within 45 minutes. He received a life-saving medical procedure within an hour and a half of arrival. And the damages were only $276. Turns out that the ‘emergency’ hospital visit fee is $39. (In Ocean Park, the vet charges $35 for regular visiting hours). The fees and costs were amazingly low – about half what I would have incurred in Boston.\nThe vet, assistants, and receptionist were warm, informative, and compassionate. I admit to breaking down a couple of times. I am not emotional by nature, but Mr.Kitty still has a grey paw snagged deep into my heart.\nMy ‘babies’ now have a health care provider. The 24 hour pet vet is their go-to for check ups and vaccines. I have been through a half dozen vets across the eastern U.S. I’ve seen good ones, and not-so-good ones. The 24 emergency pet hospital ranks in the top echelon.\nIf you are only visiting Puerto Rico, but especially if you are resident, there is a safe place to bring your puppy or kitty cat. From personal experience, and with the upmost respect. I give the Rio Piedras Pet Veterinarian at 270 Avenida Pinero a solid A+ five star rating." }

This is the\nOrchestral sound card. I have it installed in my JV-1080 and haven't\nremoved it since.

Board of Education to help desegregate public schools, Mr. Coleman was a trailblazer. His legacy is so impressive that former President Clinton rightly saw fit to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It is entirely appropriate that the U.S. Department of Transportation headquarters be named after this great Philadelphian,” said Toomey.\n“As we prepare to celebrate the start of Black History Month, I am proud to cosponsor this bill to rename the U.S. Department of Transportation headquarters after the late William Thaddeus Coleman Jr., a Philadelphia native who was the first African-American to serve as Secretary of Transportation,” said Casey. “From arguing 19 cases in front of the Supreme Court, including Brown v.

{ "original": "Arbitration & Mediation\n\"The advantage of the processes of mediation and arbitration is principally in the ability of the sides to quickly get back to their perspective businesses while maintaining a working relationship, without the dispute creating ongoing hostility between them.\"\nAdv. Aharon Pollak\nBased on the belief that mediation and arbitration proceedings should be seriously considered before opting for legal proceedings, APM &Co. established the Arbitration and Mediation Center, a place of unique and innovative thought, founded by senior partner and co-founder of the firm, Adv. Aharon Pollak.\nWith an understanding of the great burden imposed on Israeli courts, Adv. Pollak and the firm established the center with the aim of providing expedited results and bringing about a change in the approach to the process used today: by strengthening the use of arbitration and mediation as a tool for dispute resolution.\nThe Arbitration Process\nThe clear advantage of the Arbitration and Mediation Center is an arbitration proceeding with a clearly defined timeline, efficient process and fast resolution.\nIn order to make this possible, Adv. Pollak, serving as arbitrator, diligently studies the full depth of every circumstance, even before the first meeting. This allows him to conduct the case effectively and efficiently. At the first meeting, Adv. Pollak decides, with the consent of all parties, the order of evidence produced in the case and when each party will be heard. At this meeting he also sets a date for the arbitral decision, making the process known in advance and easier for all to comply with.\nThe Mediation Process\nA successful mediation process will save all parties the grievance caused by a dispute drawn out through the courts. This alternative attempts to resolve the dispute for the sake of all participants in a short, defined process that allows the sides to get on with their lives and businesses with as little interruption as possible.\nDuring the mediation process the mediator will find common ground between the parties, while identifying the true interests of the litigants, who at times consist of several parties with varying interests on the same side. It is the role of the mediator to weave his way through the facts, emotions and motives of the original disagreement and arrive at a resolution that all sides can support.\nAbout Adv. Aharon Pollak\nAdv. Pollak brings to the Center his rich experience as an arbitrator and mediator. His extensive knowledge, accumulated over 50 years as a litigator and commercial attorney, in addition to vast local and global commercial, cultural, social and financial experience, equips him with the tools required to facilitate the various processes and to reach quick, correct, and just resolutions.\nAbout the Arbitration and Mediation center\nAs part of the “one-stop shop” policy that characterizes APM & Co., the Arbitration and Mediation Center has at its disposal the guidance and assistance of all of the professional departments of the firm. Together with the high-quality legal consultation provided by the firm's attorneys, Adv. Pollak is able to identify creative solutions for the various arbitration and mediation cases.\nAlways on top of social, economic, business and political trends, the Center has developed an expertise in mediation and arbitration of gentrification and NOP 38 related disputes.\nThe Center's substantial role in shaping Israel’s arbitration proceedings was apparent in the proposal to change current legislation in this area. Nowdays, there is no adequate mechanism for correcting arbitration errors and appealing an arbitral decision. The Center's position is that by enabling appeals on arbitral decisions the arbitration process becomes more accessible to a broader public, helping reduce the burden on the Israeli courts and improving the manner in which the Israeli business culture conducts itself and settles its disputes." }

Here is a website that should help.\nAs in many breeds of birds, male finches are the colorful ones and the females are plain.\nI bought 2 zebra finches from Petcity and was wondering if they are boy and girl (male and female). They were in seperate cages when we bought them too btw. In the 2 weeks that we have had them they have laid 10 eggs, lost 4 -now 6 and then recently this week laid another 3, so 9 all together. I am just wondering what is happening because they sit on them and I don't know if they are fertile or not. Any suggestions? How do I tell which one is the male and which one is the female?\nBy Joseph from WA\nDear Joseph, firstly try to see the color of the beak of the two finches. It is the easiest way of determining sex of these birds. The male will have a darker colored beak (more reddish orange) than the female (light orange). Another way is to watch them carefully in daytime as the male will sing and the female will only make short sounds like chirping. Also you have not told in how many days they have laid all the 9 eggs.\nHow can I tell if fully feathered baby zebra finch is a boy or a girl?\nThere are three babies in the nest, one is white with a gray head, one is gray, and the other is cream colored.

{ "original": "The news is everywhere. Yesterday, October 24th 2007, Google has drastically started to lower PageRank for many popular sites, especially several prominent blogs and reputable marketing sites around the world. Many such sites have seen an overnight decrease of PageRank value of 2 or more points such as for engadget.com that has gone from a PR7 to a PR5 or Quick Online Tips gone from a PageRank of 6 to one of 3 in one fell swoop.\nPhoto credit: TechCrunch\nMasterNewMedia.org own PR7 was suddenly lowered to PR4 yesterday.\nPopular destinations such as AOL-owned Weblogs, Inc. blog network, the above mentioned engadget.com, Forbes, ProBlogger, CopyBlogger, SearchEngineGuide and many other sites appear to have been affected, with some notable exceptions standing out of the penalized group (Techcrunch is one alongside rival Gawker media).\nThe reason for this unprecedented drop in PageRank across so many popular sites has had the blogosphere discussing all day and overnight to make sense and reason of the possible rationale behind this major apparent re-shuffling operation with many wondering whether the PageRank penalization is over or whether it has just started.\nThose unaffected by the changes in PageRank have either unfairly rejoyced at the misfortune of their competitors or, more wisely, decided to spend serious time in trying to understand better the new scenario and the full logic behind it before being caught themselves in the same trap.\nInitial reactions as well as my purely coincidental article of yesterday on Text Links and Google Penalization had many run to switch off their few text link ads though it is evident by looking at the specific blogs affected that many of these had never sold any text link on their web pages. But what happened yesterday has probably nothing to do with text link ads.\nMore important than that, and way unnoticed by the early reporters as a key new element in Google strategy, is that none of the sites penalized with the PageRank value decrease has seen a drop in their Google-generated search traffic.\nUntil not too long ago, PageRank had a direct influence on the ranking of any site inside search engine result pages. The higher your PR, the higher your standing inside Google search results. Since yesterday this is evidently not anymore the case. All of the penalized sites come up as relevant as before on Google searches and Master New Media included, no site has felt a dip in visits or AdSense revenue due to this apparent penalization.\nSo what is going on? Is Google penalizing sites that use or sell text links, or there is some major change going on inside Google that is provoking all these PageRank changes? Are there other motives at play for Google to penalize so heavily all of these sites? Is this temporary or final? What will happen next? Are other sites going to be penalized soon?\nThe only thing that I can say for sure before diving into analyzing the details of this story is that the reasons why Google is doing this, go well beyond a simple war against text links. So before you turn them all off or start pulling off your hair read on and understand in greater depth what's really happening.\n\"Pagerank has become a kind of benchmark around the web and in a lot of ways it drives a large part of the Internet economy.\nThe price of paid links, paid reviews, even some CPA advertising is either partly or wholely driven by PageRank (I think most people try to ignore Alexa stats now). But maybe its time has passed.\"\nSource: SeoMoz commenter Vingold\nWhat Is Happening\nIn essence Google is devaluing PageRank across the board, and with particular emphasis \"a subset\" of the very sites that have or could benefit and/or monetize directly or indirectly such PR-given authority.\nThe reason for the subset according to some analysts is due to Google strategy of penalizing always only a subset of the target offenders as to make it more difficult for unscrupulous online marketers to fully understand the system and work around it in some way.\nThe sites that have seen a decrease in PageRank may have not sold text links as such, but they are very likely to have either engaged in one of these:\na) Cross-linking: heavy internal cross-linking between sister sites or related blogs inside web networks appears to be a likely trigger for this round of PR penalization.\nb) Link-schemes: participation in link gaming efforts intended to favour particular sets of sites\nc) Italian-style-A-list-interlinking: intense and repeated interlinking among a circumscribed set of blog sites targeted at increasing the group overall standing and authority above outsiders and newcomers.\n...and text links ads? This is in reality probably not one of the main reason Google has penalized the large group of sites as several of them have never sold text links on their web properties though they may have likely incurred in one of the above other activities.\nTo the detached eye, what emerges quite clear, at least with the data in our hands now, is that Google is voluntarily devaluing PageRank for those very sites that have benefited or could benefit most from converting the perceived \"authoritative\" value provided by PageRank so as to make it practically useless.\nWhat must also be strongly remarked is that it appears quite evident though that Google is not penalizing these sites inside its search engine result pages, but it is only lowering their assigned PageRank value.\nWhat major sites and bloggers are reporting as a big disaster isn't really so devastatingly negative at all. At least from my personal viewpoint.\nMashable for example writes:\n\"This is a very big deal; many of these sites depend on search traffic and the credibility a high page rank brings to keep their business of selling ads afloat, and a drop in score can significantly lower the flow of visitors.\"\nBut while it is true that many of the penalized sites depend on search traffic, even Mashable has failed to notice that none of the sites being penalizes has seen its traffic take even the slightest dip.\nPR drop and no traffic dip?\nWhat this would appear to indicate is a clear strategy to fight not only sites selling paid text links but also strong link exchange behaviour, link farming and excessive internal or intra-blog linking. That is making innocuous the bullets available to those sites who have them most and which may have used such bullets already in one form or another to benefit the ranking of other sites artificially.\nBy significantly lowering PageRank without affecting search engine result rankings, Google sends out a very clear message: \"PageRank has only a very limited value, and you cannot use it to make more friends or money by handing out \"favour\" links or even by selling them on your site.\"\nWhy Would Google Do This\nLoren Baker at Search Engine Journal has probably the best and most comprehensive answer:\na) Paid Linking : The easy excuse is that they're targeting paid links, but not all sites which experienced the drop sell or buy links.\nb) Mass Linking : Do we link out to too many sites via Blog Rolls? Does Linkbait just result in TOO MANY links, even if they are natural. Do blog networks use influential linking to their advantage? I think PageRank has been spread too thin and Google is changing its PageRank formula to address the mass publishing which has taken place over the past 2 years.\nc) Devalue PageRank : PageRank is seen by many as the end all value of a web site. Our PageRank dropped but we are receiving more Google search traffic than ever. PageRank does not define site rankings in Google or traffic and it should not be mistaken as so.\nd) Kill the Paid Link Market : If Paid Linking houses use PageRank as a pricing metric, then eliminating or devaluing PageRank will devalue paid linking.\nSource: Search Engine Journal\ne) Google is making deep changes to its search algorithms to significantly re-energize and increase the quality of its search engine results.\nf) A new ranking system is about to make its debut? Trustrank?\nIt is indeed a fact that Google PageRank has long lost its original value and in recent years it has become a self-serving but highly-regarded (because signed by Google) instrument to value, rank and monetize a site in a myriad of different ways.\nGiven that charts and web rankings can be created by anyone and there is no Google monopoly on those, everyone is free to follow or create the type of web ranking chart that utilizes the criteria they think most effective.\nIn reality Google PageRank values have no more reason d'etre in calculating authority and relevance of a site relative to others. If you had not yet realized it Google PageRank has become only an instrument to rank high in selected web ranking charts, and to serve the interest of \"text link brokers\". As such, from my very personal viewpoint PageRank, if disconnected from search engine results relevance is totally useless.\nSome people are arguing that the sweeping change to Google PageRank creates a new set of value references to be looked at like this:\nPR5 is the new PR7\nPR4 is the new PR6\nPR3 is the new PR5\nI absolutely do not buy into this view and remain convinced that PageRank is being devalued, and it is therefore not to be used anymore as a reliable measure of credibility or authority for anyone web site.\nFor those still crying out to disaster nonetheless there was no traffic loss to their site, I think it is time to stop the paranoia.\nFor the more savvy and realistic ones strongly believing that PageRank \"does affect status and the chance of being looked upon as an authority site on a particular topic...\" (Source: Andy Beard).\nMy only comment back would be: \"That was the day before yesterday. For today, and I don't know about tomorrow, you can officially throw that PageRank value out of the window. As it stands it has zero value. So just stop promoting it, looking at it and making prices based on that value. It's not that bad, I think.\"\nIf your site was not affected I wouldn't sing victory just yet. Nor I would start pointing the finger at those who have lost their PR.\nRemember this is only a subset. Techcrunch may have not been penalized (yet) but it certainly doesn't do very well by linking and thanking its advertisers while never using a no-follow tag.\nIt also would appear that Google has only reached PR5 sites so far so maybe today will be the day for PR4, PR3 and below? :-)\nI am sure there is definitely more to come and discover.\nGoogle doesn't want sites to use its PageRank mechanism for the valuation and sale of paid links or for any other link exchange activity that artificially distorts the natural value of a link as a vote.\nAs a pre-emptive measure Google appears to have reduced drastically the PageRank of sites that have or may have benefited the most from an unethical use or exchange of links with other sites.\nMashable writes: \"However, versus some of the companies Google allows to advertise in its search engine, many of those taking a Page Rank hit are producers of great content, and it's a total shame that this policy might ultimately drive them out of business.\"\nI do not think we are in this situation and I doubt that this move will drive anyone outside of text link advertising agencies out of the market. I doubt any commercial blog or site will have to absorb negative economic effects due only to this loss of PageRank, and while some may have to rethink their marketing strategy, many have an opportunity to wake up again and start thinking of new and innovative ways with which to keep and increase their visibility and relevance.\nThe only thing the new policy does is to devalue PageRank as a metric for determining prices at which to buy and sell links as well as to devalue excessive link exchanges taking place between a site and its most direct neighbors.\nAs SEOMOZ reader Mpilatow publicly commented yesterday: \"I guess when the outrage dies down we can all go back to talking about how worthless and overrated [PageRank] is.\"\nA consolation point emerging for all involved in yesterday's Google Pagerank penalization is the fact that in an unusual but rather \"effective\" way they have been officially marked as \"important sites\" by this very Google move. If you haven't noticed in fact, just about all the sites being penalized are major, highly relevant and popular sites. I don't see anywhere reports of small sites receiving this penalization. And if they do, I think they should see this received handicap as a clear and official indication that Google does believe them to be an important, authoritative site and wants to prevent them from engaging in not-so honorable and ethical ways of sharing their highly valued authority as in excessive link-love.\nCourtney Tuttle in fact writes: \"Shoot I'm honored to be on the list of sites that got hit because they are the best internet marketing sites in the internet. No seriously. ...\"\nHas Google changed your PageRank again?\nCheck it here:\nMasterNewMedia.org present PageRank:\nOriginal article written by Robin Good for Master New Media and entitled \"Google PageRank Devalued: What Is Really Happening - PageRank Does Not Count Anymore?\"" }

{ "original": "Last week, I experienced a holy moment. I went to pray with my friend Kim who (barring a miracle) is living the last days of her life.\nKim has been fighting Stage IV Ovarian Cancer, and after twenty four brutal rounds of chemotherapy, endless nights of vomiting and nausea, and finally participating in a cancer research test at Stanford, she has been told that there is nothing more they can do.\nOver the last two years, friends and family have watched Kim’s faith soar on her Facebook page as she battled this terrible disease. Much like the YouTube video that surfaced last week of the double mastectomy dance party (http://nydn.us/1fmGqVu), Kim’s faith and hope danced across our computers with the message that this cancer was not going to beat her.\nAnd it didn’t.\nWe all prayed for the miracle that her life would be restored. However the miracle we got was that her life was enlarged. Kim’s life became bigger than Kim.\nWith each successive day of facing this disease, her audience grew, and hundreds of people cheered her on in her battle. The harder the battle got, the more people watched. I think that’s because no one wonders how to live through joy.\nWhether the scene Kim was living was hopeful or agonizing, I’m here to report that she nailed her part. She proclaimed her faith when she was in pain. She proclaimed her faith when she became bald. She proclaimed her faith when she couldn’t leave her bed. Though the circumstances she prayed for weren’t the circumstances she got, she accepted her answers and lived them heroically. And our faith grew watching her.\nTen out of ten die, yet when the prospect of death shows up in the lives of friends and family, it is always shocking. Like a dinner guest showing up on the wrong night, our response is to say “You can’t come in; you must come back another time.” However death is that guest you can’t turn away or control. It barges in uninvited, and sets it’s place at our table whether we are ready for it or not.\nFaith in the face of death can go many ways, and one way is to say “It is God’s will that I must be healed.” There are those who say If you believe hard enough, well enough, and strong enough, healing will happen. If healing was measured by faith, Kim would have been healed a thousand times over in the last two years.\nBut she wasn’t.\nFaith can also be abandoned in the face of death. “If God is allowing this to happen to me than he must not exist.” This has not been a thought that accompanied Kim’s battle, though we would have understood if it had.\nInstead, Kim has chosen a third way to exercise faith in the face of her cancer. Fighting every day for her life, Kim has opened her hands to the will of God. And she has chosen the prayer of the Garden of Gethsemane to lead her in this journey.\nIn the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was willing to experience God’s “no” so the world could experience God.\nKim has given us that same gift.\nThank you dear friend." }

I'd seen 'bourbon cherries' in gourmet shops...fresh whole cherries swimming in bourbon, adding that smoky oakiness to the cherries, and the cherries giving their sweetness to the bourbon. Here's...\nSo....with more than five pounds of cherries left from syrup making, I realized I was gonna have to get these dudes processable so that, come winter time, I'd be to able use them in a variety of ways. Creating pie filling for freezing was an option, as well as just throwing the cherries whole into the freezer, but I wanted to be able to keep them versatile for whatever...\nMy favorite foodie blog Chow provides a how-to to the mysterious, meticulous, and precarious process of canning produce.

An exciting new twisted fairy tale series from award-winning author Jen Calonita.\nFull of regret, Cinderella's wicked stepmother, Flora, has founded the Fairy Tale Reform School with the mission of turning the wicked and criminally mischievous into upstanding members of Enchantasia.\nImpish, sassy 12-year-old Gilly has a history of petty theft and she's not too sorry about it. When she lifts a hair clip, she gets tossed in reform school-for at least three months. But when she meets fellow students Jax and Kayla, she learns there's more to this school than its sweet mission. There's a battle brewing and she starts to wonder: can a villian really change?\nFlunked is the first book in an adorable middle grade series called Fairy Tale Reform School. I really liked this book. It put a smile on my face the whole time I was reading it. Yes, it was a younger read than I was used to, but it was perfectly suited for it’s middle grade audience. The heroine is Gilly and is around 12 or 13. She is caught stealing a hair clip and is shipped off to the Fairy Tale Reform School for the mischievous children on the path to becoming a villain. I think this is such a cute idea for a magical and funny story.\nI really like that we got to see the “crime” that Gilly committed to get sent to reform school as it played out, rather than just starting the book with her already there and flashing back on what brought her in. I thought it gave the readers a great perspective on what her family is like, and gave us an idea of who Gilly is. I had a hard time calling her a mini villain because she didn’t seem even close to evil, but I thought she did have some flair and interesting qualities that are not anything like your typical heroine. It made her more likeable, as strange as that sounds.\nI loved the fairy tale reform school setting. The professors were all ex-villains. Come on, you know that sounds like a fun school to be at! And Gilly’s friends are great. This book kind of had an Ella Enchanted feel to it. I’m not completely sure why, because the story is not even close to the same, but I just kind of pictured the town and the schools to be the kind of setting from the Ella Enchanted movie with Anne Hathaway.

{ "original": "A brand new sport form\nThrough time, there’s been a great deal of debate over which kind of Hold’em is your best evaluation of gamers. This column presents a new sort of Hold’em I predict mixed Hold’em. Mixed Hold’em is easy at its heart, but would totally alter the action of drama, making a great deal of enthusiasm for players and audiences alike. Before discussing this fresh type, let us look a bit at the present debates from the 홀덤사이트 over different kinds of poker.\nSeveral have claimed that pot-limit hold’em would be your ideal evaluation and must be used more often for important tournaments. In spite of this debate, no-limit is undoubtedly the most popular kind of playing championships played in tournaments, which is much more popular than in money games.\nLet us look at the benefits and pitfalls of each one of the recent kinds of Hold’em.\nCreates plenty of multiway pots and post-flop activity. The most important criticism of limitation hold’em is it is tough to safeguard your hand. In respect to tv, limit Hold’em is not very exciting, because the play of all bets is lost.\nAllows for much more flops than no-limit, particularly in tournaments, where players often have to resort to preflop all-in motions to endure the rising blinds. By enabling pot-size betsplayers can better safeguard their palms post-flop than in limit Hold’em. 1 disadvantage of pot-limit hold’em is the fact that traders aren’t always adept in counting how big this bud, which can occasionally slow down play.\nCreates a great deal of excitement and play for television. The most important issue with no-limit Hold’em is the fact that players may push all in often before the flop, which occasionally ends in a boring sport. Better players excel in post-flop play, therefore no-limit Hold’em also lowers the difference in skill level between the skilled and amateur participant (this is a good or bad thing, depending upon your perspective).\nMixed Hold’em is only a blend of those 3 matches over. Before the flop, you perform limitation; about the flop, you play with pot-limit; and about the river and turn, you perform no-limit. This could essentially create a good deal of post-flop activity, which is fantastic for the fun and players, and would produce more intriguing hands for tv.\nTournaments now reward players to their preflop abilities. Mixed holdCeltics could reward players for their post-flop abilities. Given that preflop activity is restrict and the stakes can go way up after the flop, there’ll be a great deal of incentive to observe flops. However, as soon as players reach the flop, they can begin protecting their hands using pot-size stakes, but have to tread carefully on account of the danger of no-limit stakes on upcoming roads. Once players reach the flip, all-in stakes are allowed, giving the match that the play of all-in bluffs and calls, putting players to the evaluation with tough choices.\n1 trouble with this particular game, however, is that a lot of players can see the flop once the players have deep piles. A possible solution would be to increase the preflop limit increase to three times the large blind. By way of instance, if the blinds were 100-200, the first raiser could increase to 600, and some subsequent increases are an extra 600. Attempt mixed Hold’em at your next home game, and send me an email in [email protected] to tell me what you believe." }

{ "original": "MECS® Brink® Fiber Bed Mist Eliminators\nWorld-leading fine aerosol mists eliminators\nWorld-leading Brink® Fiber Bed Mist Eliminators are used around the world for the effective elimination of fine aerosol mists, submicron oil smoke and soluble solids. Brink® solutions deliver the highest efficiencies, lowest pressure drop, and longest effective life available.\nBrink® fiber bed mist eliminators are designed to remove virtually any type of mist from any gas stream and they excel at collecting the most difficult to capture aerosol mists – submicron sized. Since their development by Dr. Joseph Brink in 1958 to address air pollution issues in phosphoric acid plants, this custom engineered technology has found application at more than 5,000 facilities around the world and is used by a broad range of industries, from sulfuric acid to asphalt manufacturing, plastic extrusion, metalworking and many more. Our solutions protect valuable downstream equipment, optimize operations, and minimize environmental impact, while delivering the highest efficiency.\nOur engineers can help your organization select and optimize a Brink® solution for your application needs, whether you wish to improve process equipment design, operation, and product quality, or seek to reduce stack opacity to avoid environmental citations. Whatever your needs, in-process or end-of-process Brink® mist eliminators can help you achieve the highest performance, while lowering plant maintenance and operating costs.\nProducts and Services\nQualitative Performance Benefits\nAir Pollution Control\nRemoval of small and submicron particles that have the greatest tendency to cause opacity and plume persistence in stack gases. Brink® mist eliminator systems effectively remove these particles eliminating visible as well as harmful air pollution.\nRemoval of harmful mists that can cause downstream corrosion, plugging or fouling. Brink® mist eliminator units are self-cleaning, have no moving parts, and seldom require repacking. (One client operated over 24 years before repacking).\nLonger Service Life\nMECS® Brink® Mist Eliminators offer superior service life. Whether for sulfuric acid plants, chlorine plants, engineered package systems, or other industrial processes, MECS® Brink® Mist Eliminators have a solid history of robust and sturdy mechanical construction, whatever the service environment may be.\nImproved Product Purity\nRemoval of contaminating mists and soluble solids at collection efficiencies of nearly 100 percent. As the particle size gets smaller (below three microns and in the sub-micron ranges), Brink® mist eliminator efficiencies actually increase. One application in cryogenic helium reported mist removal down to the parts per billion level.\nReduced Material Loss\nOften a side benefit of a Brink® mist eliminator system installed for some other reason, reduced material losses can partially offset or even completely pay for the system.\nRemoval of dangerous mists that create potential fires or explosions in process gas streams and compressed air systems.\nImproved Process Design and Operation\nRemoval of submicron mists in a process gas stream can eliminate the need for more costly materials of construction for downstream equipment and permit more efficient operating conditions that increase product yield.\nQuantitative performance benefits\nThere are several Brink® mist eliminator diffusion fiber bed types that can be used for your process. Depending on the application, as much as 40 percent lower pressure drop can be achieved for the same collection efficiency when compared to older fiber bed technologies.\nAs with all Brink® mist eliminators, diffusion beds provide collection efficiencies of 100 percent on all particles larger than 1 micron in diameter. Diffusion bed systems can also be designed to provide collection efficiencies as high as 99.999+ percent on all particles less than 1 micron in diameter for special applications.\nPressure drop vs relative Cost Brink HE Mist Eliminator\nTypically, collection efficiencies of 94 to 99.7 percent on all particles 1 micron and smaller in diameter are utilized in Brink® mist eliminator systems. Our diffusion bed mist eliminators are designed for a specified pressure drop, usually in the range of 2 to 20 inches of water column. Since pressure drop is proportional to fiber bed area, the size and cost of a Brink® diffusion fiber bed increases for lower designed pressure drops and higher collection efficiencies. The figure below shows the effect of pressure drop and collection efficiency on the cost of Brink® mist eliminator diffusion fiber beds for a given gas flow.\nNOTE: Collection efficiencies in all Brink® mist eliminator systems are measured on a weight basis by particle size. Brink® systems can be designed to meet varying client needs, with collection efficiencies of 100 percent on all particles larger than 1 micron in diameter and as high as 99.999+% on all particles less than 1 micron in diameter.\nWe select the optimum fiber bed design for your process to minimize total cost. Note that in addition to up-front capital cost, the overall life cycle cost of mist eliminators includes operating pressure drop (energy consumption) and the cost of maintenance. Often it is better to include extra operating margin in the mist eliminators to extend service life rather than trying to find the lowest cost installation.\nFor minimum overall life cycle cost, it is important when purchasing a fiber bed system to balance collection efficiency, operating pressure drop, and product service life. Brink® mist eliminator application experience in over 300 applications with over 5000 installations world-wide will help assure your fiber bed design will provide balanced, state-of-the-art performance for your peace of mind.\nFor details on how our MECS® Brink® Fiber Bed Mist Eliminators work, please see our brochure." }

{ "original": "If you’ve ever before done some study on self-cleaning litter boxes, opportunities are you’ve discovered the Litter-Robot 3 Connect, a wise automatic can that looks much more like a spaceship than a cat restroom.\nThe Litter-Robot could be simply the right gadget for you if you dislike scooping clutter.\nThe Litter-Robot is anything however inexpensive, and if you are going to invest hundreds of dollars on a premium item, it ought to work well.\nSo we chose to evaluate the Litter-Robot 3 Connect for ourselves to see if it was really as life-altering as it appeared.\nConfiguration: Straightforward and smooth .\nWhen the Litter-Robot 3 Connect initially arrived, we were surprised at the sheer dimension of the box. The box is so large since the unit comes pre-assembled.\nWith the Wi-Fi enabled model, there are additionally a couple of actions to get it synced with your phone. We downloaded and install the Litter-Robot application, as well as it walked us with the required actions. The whole process took around 5 mins, as well as we really did not run into any type of issues in the process.\nThe hardest part of the “setup” process was persuading Nugget to climb up inside the world to do his company. Due to the fact that the Litter-Robot looks absolutely nothing like a standard can, we weren’t amazed that he was cynical of what we were asking him to do. The product features a short overview on exactly how to accustom your pet cat to its brand-new washroom, and with the coaxing of a few deals with, Nugget made use of the machine for the first time on the first day we established it up.\nSize: Beyond huge.\nAn average litter box is rather small– directly, our old one was 15 inches by 19 inches with 8-inch walls. Needless to say, if you were hoping to keep this litter box in an inconspicuous corner of your home, it would be noticeable.\nThe device’s main globe has a 10.25-inch opening for pet cats to hop in, and also they’ll have to climb to get there, as the globe rests simply over 13 inches off the ground. There is a action to help them enter, yet our cat never had any kind of issues delving into the system.\nLayout: High-tech as well as well-built .\nAs we pointed out, the Litter-Robot 3 looks even more like a futuristic spaceship than a litter box. The brand states felines require to be over 5 extra pounds to cause the sensing unit, however that’s truly the only restriction for use. It can be utilized in single- or multi-cat families, and there’s no maximum weight restriction, so beefy felines ought to have no worry making use of package.\nIn regards to building, the Litter-Robot comprises 2 primary pieces: the rotating inner globe and the base. Both are constructed from sturdy plastic. The globe is lined with rubber, and also there are sensing units inside for your cat to activate. When the sensing unit is triggered, the unit counts down a collection quantity of time. You can choose 3, 7, or 15 minutes by means of the application prior to running the cycle. We picked 7 mins.\nTidy clutter falls via a sieve right into a area on one side of the globe, leaving any type of clutter globs and also strong waste behind. According to the producer, this system lowers trash usage by up to 50 percent contrasted to scooping, making each box of litter last longer.\nOnce the waste is deposited, the globe after that turns back to its original position– we noticed it in fact turns a bit further than necessary to ensure all the clean trash comes out of the filter area, then returns to its beginning position. The sound made during turning is a silent hum that’s quickly muffled by ambient noise. We stopped hearing it after a week.\nThe device’s base homes the waste drawer, which you can easily pull out as well as line with plastic bags. Three Litter-Robot bags are consisted of with the device. When we ran out, we utilized big shopping bags or trash can instead. When the drawer was full, sensing units in the base sent us a push notification.\nIn case of malfunction or if you want to set off the cycle by hand, you can use the Cycle as well as Reset switches, or you can cause a cycle via the app. In our experience, the device functioned as anticipated the majority of the time. When we overfilled the system with clutter, the only concern we experienced was. There’s a max-fill line on the rubber world; if you put too much trash, it can make the world too heavy to spin.\nLitter Options: Clumping is a must.\nFor the Litter-Robot to work, you need to utilize clumping clutter– or else, liquid waste won’t be deposited into the base. We experimented with 2 various litter types with the Litter-Robot: Arm & Hammer Double Duty Clumping Litter and also Arm and also Hammer Clump & Seal Lightweight.\nBoth kinds functioned, however the normal weight Arm & Hammer appeared to be a bit extra efficient. With the lightweight litter, a few clumps stuck to the rubber base that we had to knock off.\nAlleviate of Cleaning: Easy to tidy and also vacant .\nThe Litter-Robot cases to make litter box upkeep a breeze, as well as we have to agree. When we obtained a press notification stating the waste cabinet was complete, all we had to do was draw open the cabinet, link up the bag of waste, as well as toss it away.\nAccording to the manufacturer, this system minimizes trash use by as much as 50 percent compared to scooping, making each box of clutter last longer.\nTo correctly maintain the Litter-Robot, the brand name suggests cleaning the inside of the world every one to three months and also giving the system a deep tidy two times a year. Luckily, the unit damages down right into numerous easy-to-clean items.\nYou should not obtain any one of the electrical parts wet, so keep water far from the base and bonnet as well as ensure the items are dry prior to reconstructing.\nSmell Prevention: Stinky after a week.\nThe one location where the Litter-Robot 3 falls a bit flat is smell prevention. The producer says, “The quantity of smell regulate the Litter-Robot will certainly provide depends on the amount of smell developed– by just how lots of pet cats use it, what type of trash you make use of, and your felines’ diets, among other points.”.\nAs a solution for the smell, we wound up placing a box of baking soda in the front of the cabinet, which helped increase the quantity of time we might go between empties. The brand recommends replacing the carbon filter every few months.\nAdditional Features: Sleep setting, night light, as well as extra.\nThe modern Litter-Robot has various additional features, a few of which we found valuable and also others that we could have lived without. There’s a blue night light inside the world that you can transform on or off, yet since pet cats have excellent night vision, we truly didn’t understand the function of it.\nOne helpful function is the 8-hour sleep mode, which quits the system from biking during the night. We can see this as practical if the can remains in your area, interrupting you as you rest. However, we decided to leave it off because the Litter-Robot was in the workplace. If you have pet dogs or kids that such as to press them, you can additionally secure the switches on the front of the unit.\nThe Litter-Robot application tracks the number of times it cycles daily, and it creates charts of regular and month-to-month trends. This can help find medical issues such as UTIs.\nThe Litter-Robot 3 Connect expenses a massive $499, which is method above the standard for self-cleaning litter boxes.\nIf you uncommitted concerning the Wi-Fi capacities, you can get a non-connected device for $449, yet that’s still no bargain. Overall, we think this design is absolutely overpriced, however the brand name can price its products so high because there are no similar choices offered today.\nLitter-Robot 3 Connect vs. PetSafe ScoopFree Self-Cleaning Litter Box.\nOne more popular self-cleaning litter box is the PetSafe ScoopFree, and this model takes a vastly different method than the Litter-Robot. The ScoopFree resembles a typical can, but it consists of a steel rake that presses solid waste into its waste trap. While this unit functions well and also is less costly than the Litter-Robot, you need to use crystal clutter in it, and also the price of its required materials enhances the bottom line.\nLove the item, despise the price.\nSadly, the Litter-Robot 3 Connect is so highly-priced, as it’s an incredible product that would certainly benefit numerous pet cat proprietors.\nIf you can manage this $500 litter box, we think you’ll most definitely appreciate its hands-off cleaning and also different smart functions, and the quality building will offer you as well as your cats well for many years ahead.\nSince the Litter-Robot looks absolutely nothing like a basic clutter box, we weren’t amazed that he was doubtful of what we were asking him to do. As we pointed out, the Litter-Robot 3 looks even more like a advanced spacecraf than a clutter box. Clean litter falls through a filter into a area on one side of the world, leaving any type of litter clumps and strong waste behind. According to the producer, this system decreases litter usage by up to 50 percent contrasted to scooping, making each box of clutter last much longer.\nThe Litter-Robot claims to make clutter box upkeep a wind, and also we have to agree." }

Are companies “Green Washing” their products by deceptively using the words “organic” and “natural?”\nThe short answer is unfortunately yes. This article goes into detail about how they do it, citing examples like Sara Lee’s new EarthGrains breads which purport to be more “environmentally friendly” but really use grains which are not grown sustainably or organically.\nWhile the term “organic” is somewhat regulated, the term “natural” is not and the definition is left up to the manufacturer so buyer beware. In addition, this really caught my eye; “While companies are tightly regulated in terms of their use of the word “organic” on food packaging, some businesses are deceiving customers by using the words “organic” or “organics” in their company name on food that does not legally qualify as organic.” One company mentioned for doing this is Newman’s Own Organics. While some of their products may be organic, not every item in the line is. That sounds like “green washing” to me. Just another reminder to read every label carefully.\n3.Would you pay in advance to eat at a restaurant?\nWould you be willing to pay more/less depending on the time/day of your reservation much like how plane tickets are sold? Grant Achatz, one of the best chefs in America (Alinea, Chicago) is willing to bet that you will and is opening a new restaurant based on this model. The “tickets” will include a set menu, service, and tax with extra for wine pairings. In theory, you could pay in advance, dine in the restaurant and leave without ever opening your wallet.\nPersonally, I think it will work, for Achatz. He has the name and reputation to offer a unique concept like this and have people flock to it. However, I’m not sure it’s the “wave of the future” for restaurants as some people are saying. I have a feeling there will be a large population of people who just will not be willing to commit to paying in advance for their meal.\n4.Taking your own food on the plane:\nI love food and I love travel but I don’t love the food offered during travel on airplanes. I’ve had a few memorable (in a good way) meals on airplanes; there was the filet mignon cooked to order by a toque wearing chef in First Class and the sushi set on Japan Airlines Business Class, but usually I’m in cattle class and the food is not much better than feed-lot corn.\nSo what’s a girl on the go to do? BYO is the answer. I always bring snacks on the plane (nuts, dried fruit, etc) but sometimes meals as well. For extra early morning departures it’s usually a bagel and cream cheese (much cheaper to pack your own than buy at the airport), and sometimes sandwiches for lunch. This article offers lots of travel food advice and a few nice looking recipes too. The Gingery Soba Noodles With Peanut-Cilantro Pesto And Asparagus looked particularly good to me. I might just make those next time we travel.\n5. Finally, if you haven’t checked out my newly redesigned other website, wired2theworld, please take a peek and let me know what you think.\nPlease share with me your thoughts on any of these subjects!" }

{ "original": "Set in the early 60s, The Right Stuff is based on Tom Wolfe’s 1979 book, chronicling NASA’s quest to find and train its first class of astronauts.\nThe series opens with the culmination of these efforts, as Mercury Seven astronauts Alan Shephard and John Glenn sit eating breakfast the morning before Shepherd’s first flight into space.\nThe exchange between them is terse and argumentative, leaving no doubt that while today, spaceflight is characterised by co-operation, in the early days it was very much a world of politicking and rivalry.\nThe scene quickly flashes back two years to the selection of the Mercury 7, which covers the majority of the first episode. Then, the second episode deals with the astronauts and their families adjusting to their new life in the media spotlight.\nWhat is The Right Stuff?\nThe title of the show comes from the belief at NASA at the time that not only did the potential astronauts need to be highly qualified test-pilots, they also needed to have The Right Stuff – clean-cut, heroic, family men that represented the best of the American ideal.\nAs such, the show takes a lot of time looking at the astronauts personal and professional lives. Doing this, it focuses in on three of the seven astronauts– Alan Shepard, the first American in space; John Glenn, the first to orbit; and Leroy Gordon ‘Gordo’ Cooper, who flew the last and longest Mercury flight.\nMaking what are now names in history books into fleshed out human beings helps to keep the show engaging, even to those who are less interested in the technical side of things.\nThat’s not to say that space buffs will be disappointed. There are plenty of scenes looking at the workings of the space programme, as engineers and managers frantically trying to work out how they are going to achieve the unprecedented task of putting a human into space.\nWhile the first few episodes were light on actual spaceflight, the few action scenes there were give a tantalising hint of what’s to come in later episodes.\nWhat really impressed me was the series’ veracity – it’s a slick production, and the attention to detail makes it feel like you are right there in the 60s. There’s been a lot of time spent in making sure the show feels right, both technically and historically.\nOne area that the show does fall down on however is that with eight-episodes to fill it doesn’t mind taking its time, and there were several points things began to drag.\nFortunately, the base story at its heart was interesting enough that by the end of the second episode I was raring to get straight on to the third.\nYou can watch The Right Stuff now over on Disney+. Subscriptions cost £5.99 a month, or £59.00 for the year." }

{ "original": "During the middle ages a deadly disease called the Black Plague struck Europe wiping out one third of the population. Because of the speed of the disease people had to come up with cures and ways to treat it without any real scientific knowledge, and fast! People in the middle ages were extremely superstitious! When the black plague came about no one knew what to do so peasants and nobles alike tried all sorts of possible ‘cures’.\nOther people looked to the church for cures. One priest was recorded to have placed dying animals into the patients’ room. The animals were supposed to attract the disease away from the victims. Another drew crosses in oil on the infected persons head. Neither of these ways cured anyone.\nMany tried herbal concoctions to try cure this illness. This method was extremely popular. These potions contained leaves, thyme, rosemary, toads and oils, or whatever was at hand. These mixtures were either drunk or smeared onto the dying person’s ever-growing boils under their arms or on their groin. Like most of the attempts this did not work.\nSometimes people applied oils onto the body in a massaging way to soothe the headaches caused. This may have worked a bit to bring some relief to the victim, but not enough to cure the patient. Another method to try and cure the sick was to place dried toads on the red, pussy boils. If the toad swelled up the person was said to be cured because the toad had sucked out all the poison. Sometimes leeches were applied all over the body to suck out the sick blood. This was expensive and many people could not afford a doctor to come and apply the leeches. Doctors could charge as much as they wanted during the Black Plague. But, like the other attempted cures, toads leeches did not work.\nThousands of cats were burnt because people thought this would eradicate the source of the disease.

{ "original": "|Title:||Singin in the Rain (1952)|\n|Director/s:||Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen|\n|Writers:||Adolph Green and Betty Comden|\nI love musicals, and Singin in the Rain is one of my favorites. What I love about it is that not only does it showcase some of the best song and dance sequences in Hollywood musical history, but it also serves as a brilliant portrayal of a time in Hollywood history when the silent film and its players had to make way for the introduction of sound. Silent movie stars were suddenly put under pressure to speak, and not everyone was able to make that transition smoothly. This film serves as a parody of that time, and even though the plot is light-hearted and the characters happy-go-lucky there is a lot of unhappy history behind the smiles and the dancing. In essence I believe that this film is a love letter to the musical as it once was, to the ensuing golden age of musicals.\nIn the beginning film studios began to think that simply adding orchestral music to their films would be enough, and then sound effects added with the use of a piece of technology called the Vitaphone which was cumbersome at best. In 1926 the first film to make use of sound with the Vitaphone was Don Juan. Sound effects and music were used, but no dialogue until 1927 when The Jazz Singer was released. This film marked the beginning of sound as we know it, and would be the end of silent features, and the devastating demise of several actors and actresses’ careers. Several actors were able to make the transition from silent to sound, and in fact a lot of theater actors were embraced by the new sound era, and some were not so lucky. There are distinct examples in film history that point specifically to John Gilbert’s performance in 1929’s His Glorious Night as being the beginning of the end of his career. Sadly for the actor it was not his voice that disturbed the audience but the badly written script that had him professing his love to his co-star over and over again. This sort of thing worked perfectly well in silent features, in which realistic dialogue did not exist yet, but the audience were having none of it, and the film was a flop. The actor would fail to save his career and subsequently drank himself to death. On the other end of the spectrum actress Mabel Poulton was snubbed by the public because though she was beautiful, her Cockney accent was considered unacceptable, and could not be eradicated even through countless elocution lessons.\nWith this background information in mind I now present our feature film, Singin in the Rain:\nThe film’s opening scenes are of the famous Chinese Theater where the premier for The Royal Rascal will take place. Fans line the streets and a long red carpet leads its way up to the theater’s entrance. A woman at a microphone is announcing the arrivals of Hollywood’s brightest and shiniest as fancy cars continue to pull up and deposit their famous cargo onto the steps that are surrounded on both sides by screaming fans. The stars of the film are Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) and Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) who are worshiped by audiences and critics alike. As the darlings of the silent film era, Lockwood and Lamont seem to be an unstoppable team, as not only are they extraordinarily popular but they are also believed to be romantically involved. Through flashbacks Lockwood narrates his Hollywood story of fame, which includes an early career in vaudeville as a duo with childhood friend Cosmo Brown (Donald O’Connor), and then later on as a stuntman in some westerns and then finally found himself in the silent pictures where Lina Lamont became a popular co-star for the dashing actor.\nOne night Lockwood is being chased by some rather amorous fans and ends up getting a lift from a complete stranger, the adorable Debbie Reynolds whose character, Kathy Seldon is an aspiring stage actress. Kathy refers to the stage as a “dignified profession… [Whereas] you’re only a shadow… on film”. After this brief meeting they won’t see each other again until Kathy jumps out of a giant cake at an industry party in which Lockwood and Lamont are both in attendance. Whilst Kathy is working as a ‘dancing girl’, the industry people are being introduced to sound in pictures. The presentation is met with both disbelief and disgust, and this is not a far cry from how sound was originally treated. In the late 1920’s sound was considered a mere phase. The technology was also expensive and extremely impractical, and not that many people in the industry were quite ready to embrace it. Soon though, they would have to… In 1927 when Al Jolson starred in The Jazz Singer audiences were blown away and the film was an immediate hit. The competing studios had no choice but to follow suit with their own sound productions. In Britain the first sound film or ‘talkie’ was Alfred Hitchcock’s Blackmail (1929) and during the marketing for the film the biggest selling point was the fact that cinema goers would finally be able to hear a British accent.\nBack to the party and Lina Lamont’s awful screeching that is her natural voice. The starlet is pretty rude to Kathy and ends up with a literal pie thrown in her face. This little act of rebellion will get poor Kathy fired, but not before Lockwood confides in his friend Cosmo that he can’t stop thinking about ‘that girl’.\nLockwood and Lamont are scheduled to shoot a new picture called The Dueling Cavalier and this time it’s going to be a ‘talkie’. Backstage Cosmo’s (O’Connor) rendition of “Make Em’ Laugh” is pure physical comedy genius. He dances on the furniture, waltzes with a mannequin and walks up walls. His performance is mesmerizing. Its over-the-top, it’s pure joy and it’s probably one of the most famous solo musical acts in history in terms of physical adeptness. [Fun fact: Donald O’Connor smoked two packs of cigarettes a day so this scene is even more impressive for a whole other reason].\nHollywood is now being flooded by musicals, and they are everywhere! Cue the obligatory musical montage. This was the Golden Age of musicals and MGM studios were the leading makers of all things happy and jolly and great to sing along to. Kathy Seldon is working as a chorus girl on one of these said musicals and gets noticed by Lockwood. When she is offered a better role after Lockwood vouches for her, their love story is being written. Yes the fans think Lockwood is romantically linked with Lina Lamont, and yes even Kathy believes this to be the case. We know this is not true of course – in fact Lockwood can’t stand Lina, and Lina is a bit dim so even though she vies for his affections we as an audience are not meant to support dim and/or mean characters. From the beginning we are meant to love Kathy because she’s adorable and talented and out-spoken, and we get the feeling that she’d be okay even if Don Lockwood weren’t in the picture (so to speak).\nThere’s this beautiful scene in which Don takes Kathy to this empty stage and he sings to her and there are floodlights and smoke and a giant fan, and she stands atop a ladder and she is twirled around by the loved-up Don. It’s all very romantic and beautiful and yet as all musicals go, very matter-of-fact – as if it were the most normal thing in the world to do. Of course this particular dance sequence is meant to establish that Don Lockwood is in love with Kathy Seldon, and not, as the public seem to think, with Lina Lamont.\nBack to the business of show and Lina and Don are receiving diction lessons from Phoebe Dinsmore, a very serious looking diction coach. With Lina’s lessons one is reminded of another musical My Fair Lady (1964) based on the play Pygmalion, in which Audrey Hepburn’s character Eliza Doolittle is the flower-selling daughter of a drunk, and a street wench who finds herself being taught to speak proper English by Professor Higgins (Rex Harrison) who eventually falls in love with his student. This doesn’t happen in Singin in the Rain, and in fact Lina’s failure to fit the studios requirements sadly makes her even less likely to win the affections of Lockwood. The first premiere of the film fails dismally leaving Lockwood despondent and unsure of his future in the film industry. Between Lina’s voice and an incredibly frustrating scene involving a microphone, a bush and Lina’s bosom the film is destined to sink.\nAfter a bit of brainstorming with his good pals, Cosmo and Kathy, they come up with the perfect solution: turn The Dueling Cavalier into a musical! After the threesome dance joyfully around his kitchen with their rendition of “Good Mornin”, it is finally time to admit that not only can Miss Lina Lamont not speak, but she also can’t sing, dance or act for that matter. Hence, the old switcheroo is bound to keep everyone in the dark. All that needs to happen is that Kathy will be the voice and Lina the face and then it will all be dubbed in later. How could anything possibly go wrong?\nOne night after Don walks Kathy home and kisses her at her front door he starts walking home in the rain and the streets are full of puddles, and his tap shoes dance across the wet pavement and he performs the title song in this timeless piece of musical history. Honestly there is nothing better than watching Gene Kelly perform this masterpiece on shimmering city streets as he confesses his love for Kathy Seldon. Upon occasion I have been known to rewind this particular scene again and again as it’s really that good.\nOf course now they have to convince the studio that they can save this dismal picture if they turn into a musical called The Dancing Cavalier, and with Kathy doing the recordings, Don decides to pitch an additional scene for the film. The film is set during the French Revolution and Don wants to add a modern scene entitled ‘Broadway Melody’ which is over-the-top, extremely ambitious and probably really expensive. The scene has Don playing the role of a young performer hoping to make it on Broadway, and involves vaudeville, burlesque, reference to The Ziegfeld Follies and there’s even a divine seduction scene with a mobster’s flapper girlfriend in a smoky nightclub which all ends in a ballet performance in a casino. Ambitious indeed, and beautiful in its extremities, this is pretty much a film within a film and seems to mirror both Lockwood and Kelly’s own show business beginnings.\nIt’s important to understand that Singin in the Rain is an ode to the musical, and a love letter to its very essence, and to the desire to both sing and dance with absolute abandon. Don’s love for Kathy is so strong that he is willing to lose the public’s support by ending his fake relationship with the lovely Lina. Lina of course is having none of it and after the success of The Dancing Cavalier Lina insists she, not Kathy, is the real talent and even threatens to sue the studio if they don’t remove Kathy’s credit. Ah but when have the Gene Kelly’s ever lost out to a no-talent meanie in a musical? Never, that’s when. The film will end with Lina being exposed as an imposter with Kathy singing backstage. Don Lockwood and his new co-star will dance off into the sunset and they will go on to star in a film called… Singin in the Rain. Obviously." }

HSP may be associated with an upper respiratory tract infection or possibly an allergic reaction.\nMost children with HSP recover completely.\nWhat are the symptoms of Henoch-Schonlein purpura?\n- purpura - bleeding into the skin, mucous membranes, internal organs and other tissues\n- arthralgia - pain in the joints\n- inflammation of the joints\n- abdominal pain\n- gastrointestinal bleeding - bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines\n- nephritis - inflammation of the kidneys\n- subcutaneous edema - Swelling just below the skin\n- encephalopathy - dysfunction of the brain\n- orchitis - inflammation of the testicle(s)\nRenal (kidney) involvement is common, occurring in 30 to 70 percent of children with HSP.\n- Kidney disease is usually noted after the onset of other symptoms.\n- Worsening of the kidney symptoms and biopsy-confirmed worsening of the kidney lesions may be observed in patients with repeated attacks of rash or hematuria (blood in the urine).\nHenoch Schonlein Purpura HSP | Diagnosis & Treatments\nHow is Henoch-Schonlein purpura diagnosed?\nHenoch-Schonlein purpura is diagnosed based on criteria established by the American College of Rheumatology.\nThese criteria include:\n- Palpable purpura: Bleeding into the skin or mucous membranes and other tissues or the presence of certain cells when a tissue sample from the purpura is examined under the microscope.\n- Younger than 20 at the onset of the disease.\n- Bowel angina: pain in the abdomen, which is worse after meals.\n- Bowel ischemia: decreased blood flow to an area due to narrowing in an artery, which may result in bloody diarrhea.\nIn addition, ultrasound may be used to examine your child’s gastrointestinal tract for presence of the disease.\nIf severe kidney lesions are suspected, your child’s doctor may perform a biopsy of your child’s kidney to see how serious the situation is.\nHow is HSP treated?\nTreatments for HSP may include:\n- adequate hydration, or fluid intake\n- careful attention to nutrition\n- pain control with medications such as acetaminophen\n- glucocorticoids (steroids that help control inflammation)\nMost children with HSP recover completely.\nIn a very few number of children, the disease is much more aggressive, leading to serious kidney disease. This appears to be more likely in patients with aggressive initial disease who progressed to end-stage kidney disease in less than three years after the onset of HSP.\nIf your child is in this situation, a kidney transplant may need to be performed.\nHenoch Schonlein Purpura HSP | Research & Clinical Trials\nResearchers in the Boston Children’s Kidney Transplant Program lead the global development of and participation in pediatric kidney transplant clinical research.\nWe are committed to developing innovative and improved anti-rejection medication protocols with the goal of more successful transplants and reduced side effects and complications.\nAs a result of trials managed through our center, certain steroids have been eliminated from post-transplant treatment plans for some children.\nNational Institutes of Health research programs\nWe currently participate in more NIH-sponsored pediatric kidney transplant research studies than any other program in the nation.\nAdditional information about our research is available on our research website, including a list of transplant studies currently enrolling eligible patients.\nTransplantResearch Center (TRC)\nIn 2003, in an effort to speed the knowledge and results gained from research into innovative and improved approaches to the care of transplant patients, Boston Children’s Hospital and Brigham and Woman's Hospital founded the Transplantation Research Center (TRC).\nThe TRC provides a rich environment for collaboration of scientists and physicians from both institutions in the areas of transplantation and immunology.\nThe TRC, in conjunction with Children’s Pediatric Transplant Center (PTC)—one of the most advanced and comprehensive transplant centers in the country — reaffirm Children's collaborative \"bench-to-bedside\" philosophy of care." }

{ "original": "The world is waking up from COVID19 lockdowns and many are questioning the way our society was built. We live in a historical moment where we can choose to go back to the old world of pollution and waste or to accelerate the transition to a future where profits are not against the planet or people.\nIn these times of change, there is an urgent need for global leadership and collaboration.\nFortunately, there are a growing number of leaders from academia, the political, civil society and corporations inspiring others to have the courage to make a difference in the world.\nI want you to read about 3 Sustainability Leaders that I admire for relentlessly fight for bold action in sustainability, for challenging the status quo that follows a route of marginal improvements and for inspiring many of us to do our part.\nPaul Polman – CEO Sustainability Leaders\nBio Dutch businessman, ex-Unilever CEO (2009.2018), Chair of the International Chamber of Commerce and The B Team,.ViceChair of the U.N. Global Compact and co-founder of global business collective IMAGINE.\n- As CEO of Unilever (2009-2018), he set a bold vision to decouple the company’s growth from the overall environmental footprint and increase its positive social impact through the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan. He demonstrated that a new “inclusive capitalism” that involves multi-stakeholder drives long-term value. Thanks to his work, Globescan and SustainAbility named Unilever among top sustainability leaders for six consecutive years.\n- As part of the U.N. Secretary General’s High-level Panel, he played a leading role in developing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) developing the business case for the 2030 agenda. He was appointed by the Secretary-General as one of 17 SDG advocates.\n- Paul Polman has been honoured with France’s Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur, in recognition of his role in the historic 2015 U.N. Climate Change agreement in Paris. In 2018 was named an Honorary Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) for services to business and environment.\nI admire this person because Paul is a true advocate that business should be a driver first and foremost for generating value for society that goes beyond increasing shareholder profits. As CEO he transformed Unilever’s environmental problems into opportunities to create value for the company’s stakeholders.\nAbove all, by his actions, he demonstrates how a CEO can play a key role in redefining a company’s purpose and culture and create a long-term relationship between companies and society. His most significant achievement has been to inspire other CEOs to look beyond profits and align business goals with the world’s pressing societal issues and create the needed global transformative partnerships.\n“I had never before heard a business boss tell a proportion of some of his investors to get lost”Michael Skapinker Financial Times Editor\nChristiana Figueres – Diplomatic Sustainability Leaders\nBio Costa Rican diplomat with 35 years of experience in high level national and international policy and multilateral negotiations\n- As Executive Secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Christiana injected a unique sense of optimism that steered world leaders to reach the Paris Agreement in 2015. Has been credited with forging a new brand of collaborative diplomacy.\n- Mrs Figueres founded together with Tom Carnac Global Optimism, a purpose-driven enterprise focused on social and environmental change. Global optimism includes various initiatives including a weekly podcast or the book “The future we choose“.\n- She served as Director of Renewable Energy in the Americas (REIA). Founded in 1995 and directed for 8 years of the Center for Sustainable Development of the Americas (CSDA). She is Convener of Mission 2020, an initiative to ensure the world bends the curve on greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 protecting the most vulnerable.\nI admire this person because of her energy, assertiveness and optimism that allows her influence world leaders to reach better sustainable outcomes.\nReading her book, listening to her participation as a speaker and following the many initiatives she’s involved, you can find a person proud of her home country Costa Rica. Certainly, she uses plain language to describe our environmental challenges and defends gender equality as part of the solution to climate change. Christiana has dedicated her life to tackling climate change, sustainable development, energy, land use, technical and financial cooperation.\n“The Woman Who Could Stop Climate Change”Elizabeth Kolbert, The New Yorker\nMichael E. Mann – Scientist Sustainability Leaders\nBio American climatologist and geophysicist who has contributed to the scientific understanding of historic climate change based on the temperature record of the past thousand years.\n- Mr. Mann was the Lead researcher on a historic paper on climate change in 1998. He reconstructed global temperatures and produced a “hockey stick” like graph that showed a sharp acceleration in the 1900s due to fossil fuels released by human activity.\n- Since then, Michael has spent two decades defending the paper and his reputation against climate change deniers. He has won many court cases and forced groups to retract & apology.\n- Among many awards and recognition, Michael E. Mann received the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement in 2019. Recently, the National Academy of Sciences elected Mann as a member.\nI admire this person because, in a world of climate disinformation about the problems caused by human activity, our society needs scientists to analyze the causes and be present in the decision table.\nFurthermore, Michael has brought the discussion to the general public, translating the scientific jargon in a language everyone can understand. He has combated groups that tried to create confusion by spreading false information.\nDue to Mann’s dedication to explain the cause of climate change, he has been the object of repeated attacks. These attacks were not about the validity the scientific evidence but about the integrity of the scientist carrying out the research.\nHowever, Mann has fought back and won at Court several cases for which he has received retract and public apologies. These won trials have reinforced the scientific consensus that global warming is occurring as a result of human activity. I hope that his work brings more science and scientist into tackling climate change.\n“Death threats, intimidation and abuse: climate change scientist Michael E. Mann counts the cost of honesty”Robin McKie, www.theguardian.com. March 03, 2012.\nThese 3 Sustainability Leaders have accomplished much more than any other leader. Why? Because they are inspired by a PURPOSE that goes beyond themselves, the purpose of doing good for others.\nMost importantly, they are persistent. They fight against the business as usual by acting today since they know that waiting another decade would be too late.\nThe solution to climate change and other major threats to the planet need a collective response. Their firm actions inspire many of us to follow their example.\nIn a word, get inspired by these sustainability leaders and act in your company, community or personal life to build a better future for us and for the future generations." }

We were shocked to find out that the theater was so willing to accommodate our autistic group of clients. To our surprise, the owner provided a private showing where we had an entire theater to ourselves! The sound and lights were adjusted as needed for our residents who are very sensitive to loud sounds. The cinema staff ushered everyone to our seats and then brought us popcorn and sodas. The outing was a huge success and residents were so excited by the whole experience. Community inclusion can be a challenge for our autistic residents, but we know how important it is to their progress. Both residents and staff enjoyed the movie with no issues or concerns. “We asked our community for help, and again, good people rose to the occasion.” For that, we are grateful. —MALKA, BEACON HOME MANAGER\n— E M I LY, B E A C O N D I S T R I C T M A N A G E R\nC O M PA S S I O N\nWhen Joe was on his way for the first time, our staff was a bit worried when we learned that he had a history of being very aggressive, using staff daily as his punching bag and destroying his previous homes on a regular basis. When he arrived, all of the resident’s took to Joe instantly as did our staff. He then struggled with this new environment for about two weeks and required 1:1 staffing. Once this was provided, Joe and our staff established a much better relationship. He often sits and ponders about moving to a new home and says he doesn’t want to. Over time since joining us, he has substantially reduced his physical aggression and property destruction to very minor incidents. He is now seeking out our staff and states regularly that he misses them when they’re not with him. Last week when sitting on the porch with our night staff, Joe looked around at everyone and stated, “I came here and didn’t have any friends, now look all of you are my friends.” Joe has improved remarkably and really values the independence he now has. The positive relationships he built with our staff has really helped us with other clients too. He is a real positive contributor to our home today.\nOn Sam’s 18th birthday he celebrated at school and had a great day, but when he got off the bus that afternoon he was taken by the police to the psychiatric ward of his local hospital. His parents were no longer legally required to care for him, and they did not want him in their home any longer than required. They had declined filing for guardianship but continued to exert enough psychological control that without their permission, he would not speak to anyone or sign anything. As an 18-year old with no guardian, no identification, no income and a diagnosis that indicates a need for assistance to keep himself healthy and safe, his immediate future looked grim. Beacon was asked to provide a home for Sam and we immediately began teaching him about his rights. Now, when I walk into his home, Sam greets me with a smile, talks about his day and is very excited about starting school again. Sam is also excited to begin volunteering at a local veterinary office where he will assist in caring for the animals. —ELLA, BEACON DIRECTOR OF AUTISM PROGRAMS\nWe had another resident who had bounced in and out of AFC homes since he was 16 before coming to Beacon. While unpacking his things with him one of our staff said, “Would you like to meet the rest of the family?” This resident started crying because he had never heard of an AFC home calling everyone “family.” But, that is exactly what we are—family! —JENNIFER, BEACON HOME MANAGER\nWe received a resident at our home and during his admission he was proud to let us know he had NOT taken a shower or had groomed in over a year. Hearing that, we made it a priority to prompt him numerous times throughout the day to shower. Within the month, we were able to get him in the shower. He also let us take him to the hair salon to get a nice haircut and beard trim. This was noticed not only by his family but by his case manager who could not believe we were able to accomplish this. He is still hesitant to shower but with enough trust and prompting we are able to get him to shower regularly!\nWhen he came to us he was demonstrating physical aggression 4–5 times a day. Within months his physical aggression was reduced to an average of 2–3 minutes, maybe once a week. I took the time to study his aggressive behaviors, identify his triggers and worked together with our staff on a plan to diffuse them. From a root cause evaluation, we noted his behaviors on Monday nights between 8 pm and 8:30 pm would peak. One night, I noticed some clients were watching WWE on television and that the TV was on a shared wall with his bedroom. When I went into his room to check on him, I could hear the TV and other clients in the living room. Knowing that one of his triggers is loud noise, we moved him to a quieter room and his behaviors improved immediately and in fact, never happened again. Today, his aggressive behaviors have been reduced to 2–3 minutes in a 24-hour time frame and we are now successfully working with him on his other goals. — J U D Y, B E A C O N H O M E M A N A G E R\nIn the final weeks of his life we went to the Air Zoo, because he loved planes, Clementine’s, Jet’s pizza, movies, Subway and anywhere he wanted to go. He told me on many occasions that he loved me and I loved him as well. At the end of the day, I know we made a positive impact on his life and he made a positive impact on me as well. —TRIVENNA, BEACON HOME MANAGER\nWe had a client that was really upset because he did not know how to read. So I ordered several Hooked on Phonics books and printed out a lot of worksheets for him. Every day I would work with him and help him learn how to read different words and books. This continued for months and he really did well not only learning how to read but his confidence was clearly better too. Every year we bought him a new book and took him out for a meal on his birthday. Unfortunately, this client had severe kidney disease and he refused to allow anyone to bathe him but he allowed me to.\nWe have a client who came to us about a month ago and appeared to be overly medicated. She was sleeping a majority of her day away and did not appear very motivated to complete her goals. We referred her to our staff psychiatrist who had several sessions with this client that led to a med change. Almost overnight, she has made a great turn around. Every day she now wakes up and stays out of bed all day! She continually completes her ADLs, participates in her work program, goes into the community and assists the staff with cooking and house chores. She regularly socializes with peers and does activities in the home. We have also noticed she is giving staff hugs and just seems very upbeat and happy. Recently, she met with our psychiatrist again and was so excited that she is lowering her current medication regimen. —REBECCA, BEACON HOME MANAGER\n—ALISA, BEACON HOME MANAGER\nC L I N I C A L C O O R D I N AT I O N\nMany of our new residents have a long history of frequently going to the ED for psychological reasons. I am so proud of our staff for pulling together and diligently looking for any signs of abnormal behaviors, immediately coordinating PCP appointments for any health issue and communicating with management about any out of the ordinary symptoms. With everyone’s help, we have not had one resident require a psychiatric hospital stay in three months and we have also been able to decrease ED visits for physical health reasons substantially by getting them the health care they need immediately.\nC O M M U N I T Y I N T E G R AT I O N\nOne of our residents just recently started a Day Program. His guardian was hesitant as he has tried them in the past and things hadn’t gone well. Whenever he makes up his mind about what he wants to do, if it doesn’t happen, he gets very angry. This time we spoke to him about the benefits of participating; getting out of the home, seeing new faces and earning money, all the things that lined up perfectly with his goals. Shortly after dropping him off, we received a call from the director of the program. He said our resident was upset that they were doing fun activities most of the day and only working for a short time. He then requested that we come pick him up since he did not want to participate. Our staff spoke with him and asked him to identify the parts of the program that he did not like and why he did not like them. They encouraged him to try out the Just for Fun activities, reminding him that life is not all about work and money and if he were to come home he would miss the activities he likes. He agreed to try and our staff spoke with the director explaining that asking him for assistance when changing the trash or other small tasks would help keep him busy and make him feel useful and appreciated. The director agreed and our resident was able to stay the full day and enjoyed the events even though they were a little different than what he had expected. — S H AY N A , B E A C O N H O M E M A N A G E R\nOver time, he demonstrated great improvements including positive and respectful behaviors in the home and keeping busy each day working around the home and helping staff. As a result of his hard work and our support, we worked with his CMH case manager and transitioned back to the trailer he owns to live an independent life with minimal supervision. — L E R O Y, B E A C O N M S C L I N I C I A N\nC O L L A B O R AT I O N\nOne of our CMH case managers contacted me to discuss a new resident’s treatment plan. He was diagnosed with a significant mood disorder and suffered a traumatic brain injury. He had some issues in his past that involved inappropriate behaviors and spent considerable time in jail, was hospitalized and declared not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity related to recent incidents. During his 10 month stay at Beacon, this client participated daily in our programs including Seeking Safety and Dialectical Group Behavior Therapy where he became a skills master. He enjoyed his individual therapy, worked independently at our Beacon company store and worked on his personcentered goals with his home staff and clinicians who supported him as a team.\nE M PAT H Y\nWe have a resident with Autism who lost many of his personal effects in a home fire. He has limited verbal skills and struggles communicating his feelings and his needs at times, especially when he is frustrated or overwhelmed. He loves Grover from Sesame Street and our staff recently bought him a new Grover to replace his loss. While working with him, we noticed he was able to verbalize through Grover what he wanted and how he was feeling. Since this point, he has been less aggressive and able to better express his feelings and what caused a specific incident to occur. He now participates regularly in home activities and exhibits much more appropriate behaviors. While he continues to struggle at times, we know firsthand that paying attention to small details in the lives of our clients really helps reveal little keys that unlock many triggers of poor or dangerous behaviors. This is what we love best about our jobs. — D AY N A , B E A C O N M S C L I N I C I A N A N D C H E RY L , B E A C O N B E H AV I O R I S T\nB E H AV I O R O U T C O M E S Medication Compliance: 82% of residents at Beacon with medication compliance problems were 90% or more compliant with their medications within the first 30 days of treatment at Beacon.

{ "original": "Vibrant Buddha Bowl Recipe filled with roasted cauliflower, chickpeas, fresh greens, and fiber-filled quinoa drizzled with a Creamy Peanut Butter Coconut Milk Dressing. Learn how to make your very own Buddha Bowl and enjoy this delicious vegan and gluten-free power bowl for a healthy lunch or dinner.\nWhat is a Buddha Bowl?\nWe’ve all seen one somewhere, but what really makes a Buddha bowl a…Buddha bowl?\nSimilar to Nourish Bowls (non-vegetarian) and Poké Bowls (Hawaiian bowls filled with raw fish), Buddha bowls are a one-dish vegetarian meal traditionally served in a large bowl or high-rimmed plate. Most Buddha bowls typically contain small portions of several key foods – usually a grain, vegetable, protein, fat, and dressing.\nWhy is it called Buddha Bowl?\nSo where exactly did the name “Buddha Bowl” come from? The truth is that there are several possible explanations,\nThe first, most popular explanation, is that the overstuffed bowl resembles the belly of Budai, a 10th-century Chinese monk who resembles and is often confused with Buddha. A second idea suggests that the Buddha bowl, a nutritious and balanced meal, represents the Buddhist belief of balance and harmony. A final idea draws from the story that each morning Buddha would carry a bowl with him through the town picking up and collecting small bits of food donated from local townspeople.\nYou may also find Buddha bowls called power bowls, hippie bowls, sunshine bowls, or macro bowls.\nIs a Buddha Bowl hot or cold?\nBuddha bowls come in all colors, textures, and varieties and that’s part of what makes them so delicious. People often wonder if Buddha bowls should be enjoyed warm or cold – the truth is that they are fantastic any way like them!\nFor me personally, I love to have a mix of warm and cold. In the case of this cauliflower and quinoa Buddha bowl recipe, I find that it tastes best with roasted cauliflower just out of the oven. Everything else can be prepared ahead of time and served cold, unless, of course, you prefer to reheat the chickpeas and quinoa.\nWhat goes in a Buddha Bowl?\nThere are five main parts that go into these insta-worthy beauty bowls. Don’t feel pressured to add all five, but for ultimate color and flavor, try to pick one item from each category.\n- Grains – Quinoa, barley, brown rice, freekeh (my personal favorite), whole-wheat couscous, and bulgur are all popular options and all considered whole grains. These whole grains contain more fiber and nutrients which help you stay full, longer. Certain whole grains cook quickly, while others take more time. If you’re short on time check the freezer section at your market (hello! Trader Joe’s) for pre-cooked frozen brown rice and quinoa.\n- Vegetables – I like to add both fresh vegetables (lettuce, microgreens, tomatoes, bell pepper, onions) and roasted veggies (Butternut Squash, Brussels Sprouts, Acorn Squash, Asparagus, broccolini, sweet potatoes, etc). This is a fantastic opportunity to clean-out all those refrigerator scraps or leftover vegetable odds-and-ends.\n- Plant-based protein – Depending on your definition of a “Buddha bowl” yours may or may not be meat-free. I like to serve mine without meat, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any protein. Load yours up with plant-based protein options like chickpeas or tofu.\n- Healthy fat – You will often find Buddha bowls topped with some kind of “healthy” fat. This includes sliced avocado or whole, unsalted nuts like almonds and cashews, chia seeds, and flax seeds.\n- Dressing – No store-bought dressing here (if you can help it). Homemade anything is better than what you’ll find at the store. Simple vinaigrettes to creamy tahini, miso dressing to this AH-MAZ-ING peanut butter coconut dressing.\n- Bonus number 6 – But wait, there’s more! Yes, really. I always encourage dried fruits like cranberries or raisins or fresh fruit like berries or grapes.\nBuild your own Buddha Bowl\nHere’s what you’ll find in this cauliflower Buddha bowl drizzled with peanut butter coconut milk dressing:\n- Grain – Quinoa\n- Vegetable – Cauliflower, mixed greens, microgreens, diced bell pepper, red onion, and green onion\n- Protein – Chickpeas\n- Healthy Fat – Avocado\n- Dressing – Peanut Butter Coconut Milk Dressing\nNow that we know what’s needed to make a Buddha bowl, and what’s being added to this delicious recipe, let’s make it!\n1. Roast the chickpeas\nPreheat oven to 400°F. and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. As the oven warms, drain and rinse your chickpeas and transfer to a clean towel or stack of 2-3 paper towels. Gently rub the chickpeas dry using a dry paper towel or dishtowel. The skins will start to peel off- that’s ok.\nTransfer chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and gently toss with the olive oil, garlic powder, cayenne powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Transfer chickpeas to the prepared baking sheet and spread in a single layer. Bake for approximately 25-35 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.\n2. Roast the cauliflower\nWash, dry, and remove all greens from the cauliflower. Next, chop the cauliflower into 1 to 2-inch florets. Line a second large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.\nIn a large mixing bowl or directly on the baking sheet toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange cauliflower florets in a single layer. Transfer baking sheet to the oven and bake for approximately 25-35 minutes, or until fully cooked and just starting to brown at the edges (for extra crispy edges, set oven to broil and roast for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking). Remove roasted chickpeas from the oven and set aside.\n3. Make the dressing\nIf preferred, substitute the peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter.\n4. Assemble your Buddha Bowl\nCook quinoa according to package instructions. Chop the red bell pepper, red onion, and green onions and set aside in a small bowl. Mix well to combine.\nTo serve, add quinoa to a large bowl or plate with high sides. Top with roasted chickpeas, cauliflower, diced vegetables, fresh greens, peanuts, and avocado.

{ "original": "The Department of Ecology (Ecology) recently took a first step in implementing the state’s PFAS ban in food packaging by issuing an alternatives assessment that identifies safer alternatives for some important applications, including wraps and liners, plates, food boats, and pizza boxes. Because of this assessment, a statewide ban on PFAS in these four food packaging categories will now go into effect in early 2023.\nUnfortunately, Ecology’s assessment misses the mark for key food packaging applications.\nEcology also assessed alternatives to PFAS for six other types of packaging: bags and sleeves, bowls, trays, french fry cartons, clamshells, and interlocking folded containers (i.e. takeout boxes). For these categories, it failed to make a finding—that safer alternatives are available—that would trigger the ban.\nAlthough the agency identified less hazardous alternatives for all types of packaging it assessed, it failed to draw common-sense conclusions that would allow for a finding of availability of safer alternatives, citing reasons that include a lack of data on cost and performance.\nThe conclusions in Ecology’s assessment for these six categories are problematic given the dangers posed by PFAS in food packaging and the fact that the agency found less hazardous alternatives for all ten product categories. Since the law requires that the agency continue to look for safer alternatives, Ecology is planning a second round starting now.\nWe urge Ecology to immediately re-assess the availability of alternatives, address the flaws in its assessment methodology, revise its assessments, and fully enact the ban. The current plan—launching a new assessment that will likely take a year or more—is too slow and may result in more PFAS contaminating drinking water and soils.\nThe market is already phasing out PFAS. Major companies from McDonald’s to Whole Foods Market are phasing out PFAS chemicals. PFAS manufacturers, including Daikin, agreed to end the manufacture of some PFAS chemicals for food packaging by 2024. New York has adopted a ban on all PFAS in paper food packaging set to take effect in December 2022.\nThe agency chose to ignore important information that would have allowed the full ban to take effect. Meanwhile, the use of PFAS in food packaging is unnecessarily causing exposure to chemicals with a wide range of effects from immune system harm to reproductive problems and cancer. The issue is urgent and requires immediate action.\nSince the adoption of the law in 2018, Toxic-Free Future identified safer alternatives for all of the applications and continued to provide extensive information. Many alternatives that we identified were wrongfully discounted by the agency due to claims of insufficient data on cost or availability, even though they are already in widespread use.\nKey problems with the Washington study\nFour major flaws in the study include:\n- A failure to make a finding that the bioplastic polylactic acid (PLA) products meet the criteria for cost and availability. Even though the agency identified PLA as a less hazardous alternative that could be used for numerous applications, it eliminated PLA from the running as a safer alternative for these applications at least partly because of a concern, based on limited data, that PLA shortages could occur. At the same time, the agency noted major companies are bringing significant new capacity on line. In addition, the agency found that the costs of some PLA products can be higher, but we believe increased supply will also help achieve economies of scale to drive down costs for users. These findings should be reversed so that PLA products are identified as safer alternatives.\n- The agency created unnecessary hurdles to conclude alternatives were readily available and in sufficient supply. According to the law, “in order to determine that safer alternatives are available, the safer alternatives must be readily available in sufficient quantity and at a comparable cost, and perform as well as or better than PFAS chemicals in a specific food packaging application.” It does not require each alternative to be in sufficient quantity. However, the agency makes a finding of insufficient availability when a single alternative cannot meet all supply needs.\n- Stringently defining comparable cost, which inevitably resulted in data gaps. The agency decided any additional cost for alternatives should not exceed more than 10%, but information on specific costs is largely unavailable. The assessment states, “Manufacturers often consider pricing information confidential, and many hesitated to provide it for specific products.”\nConsidering the enormous costs to human health and the environment when it comes to cleaning up PFAS contamination, the agency should not use a specific percentage when determining whether costs are comparable. A common-sense approach would be to simply evaluate whether the alternatives are used in the marketplace, because that shows the alternatives are available and cost effective. While the assessment cites numerous examples of companies switching to PFAS-free alternatives, including Sweetgreen, Chipotle, Taco Bell, Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s, Kroger, Panera Bread, and Taco Time, it then discounts the information. Clearly, if these major retailers can transition to alternatives, cost-effective alternatives must be available.\nIn addition, a ban on PFAS would result in increased demand for alternatives, which would lower the cost. Future costs based on economies of scale were insufficiently considered.\n- The agency should broaden its consideration of acceptable substitutes. The authorizing legislation (RCW 70A.222.070) states that Ecology must publish its findings “on whether safer alternatives to PFAS chemicals in specific applications of food packaging are available for each assessed application.” A substitute for a given type of food packaging may take the same form, or it may take a different form but serve the same function. In fact, users of food packaging commonly make this type of substitution. For example, when Whole Foods Market discovered its clamshells contained PFAS, it switched to a PFAS-free interlocking folded container. Ecology should not constrain its consideration in a way that the market does not.\nThese key failures—excluding PLA, having unreasonable assessments of cost and availability, and narrow consideration of substitutes—resulted in conclusions that certain products do not meet the criteria for the ban to take effect. Given the widespread use of alternatives, these conclusions are surprising and unfortunate.\nWashington state has been leading the nation in preventing PFAS pollution from products. There is an opportunity to protect public health, drinking water, and our food from PFAS by fixing this assessment now and enacting the ban. We urge Ecology to seize this opportunity." }

{ "original": "PAGB has responded to NHS England and NHS Clinical Commissioners consultation on ‘Items which should not routinely be prescribed in primary care’ arguing that introducing prescribing restrictions before implementing measures to support greater self care could result in unintended consequences which would place a higher burden on NHS services and calling for greater clarity about the next stages of the consultation.\nPAGB is concerned that NHS England and NHS Clinical Commissioners are missing an opportunity to empower people to self care in a sustainable way that will lead to a reduction in GP appointments and A&E visits for self-treatable conditions, as well as making savings on the prescription bill. Increasing people’s capacity to look after their own health and wellbeing and reducing their dependence on NHS services for conditions which can be self-treated with the advice of a community pharmacist has the potential to release more than £2 billion of efficiency savings. A system-wide approach is needed.\nA national strategy for self care is required to provide the leadership and policy coordination to implement a range of measures to better equip people to self care. If prescribing restrictions are introduced, the implementation should be timed to first allow other self care initiatives to be embedded first.\nA summary of PAGB’s submission is below:\n- It is vital to promote and empower more people to self care, rather than use GP and A&E services for conditions which could be self-treated at home or with advice from a pharmacist.\n- Taking a system-wide approach to self care has the potential to release greater efficiency savings (> £2bn) than those outlined in the consultation document.\n- A national strategy for self care is required to provide the leadership and policy co-ordination necessary to embed self care into the NHS and people’s lives.\n- Measures which should be introduced under a national self care strategy should include:\n- policies to make it easier for people to buy over-the-counter (OTC) products e.g. reducing the VAT rate and increasing the number of medicine reclassifications;\n- offering GPs ‘recommendation pads’ so they can recommend rather than prescribe OTC medicines;\n- tools to empower pharmacists to support self care;\n- action to improve health literacy and steps to support people to live healthier lives.\n- Introducing prescribing restrictions before implementing measures to support greater self care could result in unintended consequences which place a higher burden on NHS services.\n- Safety and efficacy should not be assessment criteria for prescribing restrictions. OTC medicines on the market in the UK have demonstrated clear evidence of a good safety profile, efficacy to treat the condition it is indicated for and suitability for self care. Any concerns about the safety of medicines should be addressed through existing MHRA regulatory processes.\n- It is important that healthcare professionals continue to have the ability to use their clinical judgement in making prescribing decisions, particularly with regards over-the-counter medicines that are prescribed for the treatment of long-term or serious conditions, or to prevent illness and disability (and therefore NHS costs) in the future.\n- Greater clarity is needed about next stages of consultation. PAGB can bring insights and value to future discussions on this guidance. We would therefore welcome the opportunity to participate on the joint clinical working group which is developing the proposals.\nRead our previous press release about this consultation." }

{ "original": "The UK threatens the EU to unilaterally revoke the Ireland Protocol if it does not give in to its demands | International\nThe recent victory of the Sinn Féin republicans in the regional elections in Northern Ireland has given the Government of Boris Johnson the definitive argument to carry out its plans to unilaterally alter the agreement on this region signed with the EU in the context of Brexit. “The Northern Ireland Protocol has today become the biggest obstacle to forming the Autonomous Executive,” British Foreign Minister Liz Truss told her community counterpart in negotiations with Brussels, Maros Sefcovic, according to a report on Thursday. ministerial statement published by London just after the telephone conversation between the two. “The situation in Northern Ireland is a matter of peace and internal security in the United Kingdom, and if the European Union does not show the necessary flexibility to resolve the problems that have arisen, it is the responsibility of our Government to act,” he said. Truss release.\nThe response of the EU, through its own statement, has not been long in coming. “A unilateral action, which in practice means ceasing to apply an international agreement such as the Protocol, is simply not acceptable,” said Sefcovic. “Anything like that would undermine trust between the EU and the UK and put at risk our main objective: to protect the Good Friday Agreement. [acuerdo de paz de 1998]. (…) The EU and the United Kingdom are partners that face the same global challenges, in which defending the rule of law and complying with international obligations is a necessity”, added the community negotiator.\nBoris Johnson wants to avoid the mistakes his predecessor, Theresa May, made with Northern Ireland’s Brexit fit. And he has understood that the best way to protect a controversial political decision is to cover it with a legal framework. The Attorney General of State, Suella Braverman, whose main function is to advise the Government legally, has given her approval to the idea of unilaterally revoking fundamental parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol, according to the newspaper The Times and confirm several British media. Just the opposite of what the person who held the position before her, Geoffrey Cox, did. The baritone-voiced lawyer, delighted to shock the world with his parliamentary oratory, delivered a knockout blow to May’s plans to save the Northern Ireland stumbling block. He questioned the legality of it in the reports he prepared and put the then prime minister on the ropes.\nBraverman, on the other hand, is trying to pave the way for Johnson to unilaterally revoke international treaty obligations. The Government’s plans to approve a new national regulation that repeals part of the content of the Protocol, assures the jurist in her report, would be in accordance with the law, because the development of the agreement intended by Brussels is “disproportionate and unreasonable”.\nIt is the line of argument held by Johnson, his foreign secretary, Liz Truss, and Northern Ireland’s main unionist party, the DUP. The introduction of a new customs border in the Irish Sea, which separates the two islands (and Northern Ireland from the rest of the United Kingdom), has caused social unrest, a resurgence of sectarian street violence and economic problems in the region. The Good Friday Agreement of 1998, which laid the foundations for a precarious peace between the Protestant and Catholic communities, has been put in danger, according to the Johnson Government – and now, the State Attorney General -, and must be protected , because it prevails over the Protocol signed with Brussels.\nJoin EL PAÍS to follow all the news and read without limits.\nThe key to this mess is that the same argument of one party is used for the other. The EU is convinced that, only thanks to the Protocol, a document annexed to the Withdrawal Agreement of the European Union signed by London, with the same legal force, has it been possible to preserve peace in that tormented region. By keeping Northern Ireland within the Community internal market, it was avoided to build a new border within the island. Otherwise, a customs barrier would have been necessary to prevent fraud or smuggling after Brexit. The Republic of Ireland is part of the EU, and its only land border is with the United Kingdom. As there were no new dividing facilities on Irish soil, it was avoided to stoke the nerves of the republican nationalist community.\nBut the effect was the opposite. The most radical unionists, once again convinced that London had betrayed them, stirred up the streets, boycotted the joint Home Rule institutions created by the peace agreement and demanded the disappearance of the Protocol signed with Brussels. The auction took place on May 5, when Sinn Féin, the republican formation considered for decades the political arm of the IRA terrorist organization, won a historic victory in the regional elections in Northern Ireland. His candidate, Michelle O’Neill, has the right to occupy the chair of chief minister, but the DUP has already made it clear that she will not collaborate in the formation of the government until the issue of the Protocol is resolved.\nMinister Truss inherited the negotiations with the EU from the eurosceptic David Frost, who took the confrontation with Brussels to the limit. The first signs of her mandate suggested a more tempered and consensus-facilitating position, but in recent weeks she has hardened her tone, as was seen this Thursday. Truss accuses the EU of showing little flexibility, and demands that it show greater pragmatism. London wants to eliminate all customs barriers to trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and that any future controls depend on a computerized system yet to be developed and proven effective. If this is not the case, Truss will give the green light to start the processing of new laws that would unilaterally annul the customs controls imposed by the Protocol on products traveling from Great Britain to Northern Ireland; they would eliminate community quality standards within the region; and, above all, they would abolish the supervisory role of the European Court of Justice, the black beast of the Eurosceptics.\n“Let’s be realistic. Within the general scheme, we are talking about a tiny part of the EU economy. Northern Ireland accounts for only 0.4% of the total value of that economy, ”Johnson told the BBC late on Wednesday in Sweden, where he was on an official visit. “It’s crazy. It is not necessary to make so much drama, it is something that we simply have to adjust, ”he insisted.\nOpposition from Washington and Brussels\nBoth the US Administration of President Joe Biden and the EU admit that the Protocol has created unexpected customs and economic frictions that need a solution. Brussels offered a reduction of up to 80% of tariff or health controls, and specific solutions to the shipment of generic medicines from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, or joint customs declarations of products traveling in the same shipment. Nothing has been enough for London. Johnson, who signed the Protocol in his own handwriting to carry out his long-awaited Brexit, is now convinced that it was a mistake, which has irritated the hard and eurosceptic wing of the conservatives.\nThe warnings launched today by Commissioner Sefcovic were reinforced by the serious message delivered by the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, last Tuesday: “No one should unilaterally cancel, fragment or attack an agreement that we signed together. It is a complex issue that not only has to do with the relations between the EU and the United Kingdom, but also with the peaceful development of Ireland”.\nWashington, which closely follows everything related to Northern Ireland, and watches over to preserve the benefits of the peace agreement sponsored in its day by President Bill Clinton, has demanded that London and Brussels work to save the Protocol. “The best path is pragmatism, and it requires courage, cooperation and leadership,” said a White House spokesman. “We ask both sides to maintain dialogue, resolve their differences and reach a satisfactory solution,” he added.\nFollow all the international information in Facebook Y Twitteror in our weekly newsletter." }

But Ariadne has all the qualities to make a good role model for little girls that aren’t too sure of themselves: she’s strong, opinionated, has her own agenda, and isn’t just a meaningless love interest.

Here are some things I notice while walking down the street today.\nThe eastern part is the heart, so let’s start at the five-point intersection of Brady, Farwell and Cambridge. CVS with its new Minute Clinic is a real medical center with indoor and drive services. Kitty corner, the huge windows of the long triangular building, formerly Fed Ex and Kinko’s, house “For Lease” signs.\nWhat could the future hold for us? The boarded-up corner building across Farwell, once a Starbucks, announces in an upper-floor window: Psychic Visions—Walk-ins Welcome.\nThe little mall next to our trusty Walgreens has the new Taco Stop for Mexican takeout. A prominent wall sign in the Supercuts hair salon next door reads ‘Please don’t cut your hair today’. Sorry, Supercuts; this is one of my pandemic money savers. To boot, my longtime hair salon, Live Gallery, has moved to the west end of Brady, so coming or going, I feel a little guilty.\nShocking losses: Brewed, the cozy cafe that helped the street recover from its hippie days, has closed. Likewise, Fazio’s dry cleaning, part of the street’s strong Italian heritage. The Up And Under Pub is gone. A new club named Nashville North will soon take its place, says in large letters on the facade.\nNew food and drink venues, all now occupied: spacious Pete’s Pub; the clever Saint Bibiana with her naked angels; and the dazzling German-flavored Wurstbar with indoor and outdoor video screens, mostly tuned to sports channels.\nStay up to date with today’s news\nSubscribe to our free daily email newsletter to get the latest local Milwaukee news, restaurants, music, arts & entertainment, and events straight to your inbox every day of the week, plus a bonus email Week in Review on Saturday.\nWalking Brady Street at night actually feels like I’m in a movie (mostly sports themed). I counted a sizable 77 video screens in the three-block stretch from Warren to Franklin.\nAlso new: Mac Shack offers a variety of “wood oven macaroni and cheese” dishes. Black Ink is an intriguing tattoo parlour. Golden Grizzly Tattoo is stylish. I will buy and sell used clothes at Bandit Vintage and Modern. I’m going to outfit my feet at the Ground Up Sneaker Shop.\nNomadland: The Nomad World Pub is at the base of Brady Street, a must for visitors, and now in four parts. 1) the original bar; 2) the colorful train-shaped compartments in the street along the sidewalk; 3) the large open driveway behind the original building with a bar, stools and tables, tree stump seating, video screens, outdoor sound system, burger stand, restrooms; and 4) a brand new indoor cafe-bar in the building next door.\nLast summer, and hopefully next, Nomad teamed up with neighbor Club Brady to create “Brady Beach.” They persuaded the city to close the intersection to Warren and Brady, filled it with tables, and threw a long street party over the summer. You could sometimes hear the music from the blocks. I didn’t mind." }

{ "original": "A complicated and nuanced orange wine for fans of distinctive skin contact options. The grapes get a month on their skins, with only native yeasts, which develops a lovely tannic structure to hold up the fruit and floral notes. The bouquet is rich with stone fruit, pears, spices and tea. Half the blend is aged in steel, half in oak, so the juicy, peachy notes shine through despite the dry finish.\nLa Stoppa is an ancient wine estate in Val Trebbiola, not far from the River Trebbia, in the province of Piacenza. It's now run by Elena Pantaleoni using biodynamic practices, who took the reigns a couple of decades after her family purchased the land in the 1970s. Many of the old vines (all traditionally Bordeaux varieties planted by the previous owner) have been replaced with local varieties such as Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Barbera and Bonarda. Her commitment to natural production, minimal work in the cellar, and showcasing the excellent terroir yield wines of character, freshness, and style.\nThis wine is named after the founder of La Stoppa, lawyer Ageno, who was the first to believe and give value the great potential of this area. The only dry white wine of the estate, obtained after a long maceration from grapes of this hot and low yielding land.\nClassification: Emilia Bianco Indicazione Geografica Tipica\nVarieties: Malvasia di Candia Aromatica 90%,\nOrtrugo & Trebbiano 10%\nFirst Production: 2002\nAgriculture: Organic, natural green cover between the rows. No fertilizing, weed killers or pesticides\nSoil Type: Clay Silt\nTrellis System: Simple Guyot\nAge of vines: 20 years\nDensity: 6000 plants per hectare\nVinification: 4 months maceration on skins in stainless steel and/or cement tanks\nFermentation and aging: Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, aged in 40 hectolitre wooden tanks and in bottle for a time necessary, no filtration or sulphites added\nAverage production: 15 000 bottles" }

{ "original": "Swipe Announces its Partnership with Evolve Bank & Trust\nSwipe, the digital asset and debit card platform, is in the process of expanding its reach to the US market, and to fuel this development, it has joined hands with Evolve Bank & Trust. Evolve Bank & Trust is the global leader offering payment processing solutions via ACH, banking, mortgage, card issuance, and unique strategies to clients based across the globe.\nWith this integration, Swipe rolls out the most anticipated US Dollar checking accounts for its US-based users, which will allow the users to deposit their paychecks directly into this newly created account, which can also be accessed via the Swipe wallet mobile app. Though this new system still has not got permission from the regulatory bodies yet, once the system starts operating, it will allow the users to access regular ACH and reap the benefits of same-day electronic payments.\nOnce the USD checking accounts hits the crypto market, it will more comfortable for the users to buy or sell cryptocurrencies, thereby opening the Fiat currency gateways for the US users, besides getting access to US domestic wire payment networks and ACH. The users will be able to buy or sell cryptocurrencies via the app, and the Swipe debit cards will automatically convert the coins into Fiat currency using payment systems like VISA. Customers will also benefit from FDIC insurance up to certain applicable limits.\nSwipe aims to launch the new USD checking accounts as quickly as possible may be within the last quarter of 2020. Swipe made this announcement of its integration with Evolve Bank & Trust via Twitter just after the leading crypto exchange Binance took over Swipe in July 2020 to focus on the prospects of crypto debit cards; all services, including the debit card platform, will now be available on Binance.\nThe US Dollar checking accounts will also include the Swipe Debit cards that can be directly accessed via the Swipe wallet mobile application. Currently, Evolve Bank & Trust already supports both the debit and credit transactions with over 2500 US-based banking institutions. Therefore, Swipe’s integration with the Evolve Bank & Trust will help Swipe to capture the US market quite easily.\nAs of now, Swipe is available in 31 countries, including France, Germany, Spain, and Italy, amongst others, and now is awaiting its launch in the US markets. On its personal front, Swipe is also making great advancements by adding more advanced features to its product line to create a robust electronic payments platform that is secure and compliant." }
